Having lost interest in dealing with the vampires, Zhou Yi chose to return. He had made a rather serious decision regarding the vampire girl, Serana.
It was still the small compartment. Serana sat in the corner, knees drawn up to her chest, her hands supporting her head. She was staring intently at the small door of the compartment. It was obvious she was waiting for someone to return.
The small door of the room was gently pushed open, and the Dawn Knight, clad in black armor, walked in. Seeing the look of surprise in the vampire girl's eyes as she sat in the corner, Zhou Yi smiled and asked,
"Good girl, are you willing to come with me?"
"With you, where to?" Serana's voice trembled slightly. She shook her head and then quickly nodded. She was so excited that her words were a jumble. "No! I mean, anywhere is fine, as long as I can be with you. I can find food myself..."
"Don't worry, good girl! Those aren't problems." Embracing Serana, his tall frame completely enveloped her small form. Zhou Yi gently wrapped her in his cloak and broke through the wall. Outside the room, the deepest darkness was about to pass, and the dawn's light was about to appear.
With Serana, Zhou Yi didn't dare to fly too fast. Although in myths, vampires were creatures that could turn into bats and even fly. However, in reality, Zhou Yi had never seen such a vampire. Of the people he had met, only he and Ororo could fly.
Flying wasn't a simple matter. For example, Ororo needed to control the wind, using the lift generated by the airflow to fly. Zhou Yi's principle of flight was more complex, partly utilizing a field to control the factors that resist gravity, but mostly it was a feeling, mysterious and profound. Just like how birds were born knowing how to fly, Zhou Yi also had this innate feeling.
Once you learn to fly, you'll love the feeling. The sky is the place where you can run wild and free. Sometimes, Zhou Yi would even enter and exit the atmosphere several times, enjoying the thrill of extreme flight. Or, at other times, he'd choose to fly low over the city, giving those who happened to look up a pleasant surprise.
People living in New York had grown accustomed to the occasional dark shadow streaking across the sky. Because of his presence, the crime rate in New York had indeed decreased, something the citizens of New York had genuinely experienced. Therefore, the New Yorkers generally held great goodwill towards this shadow in the sky; he had even become a unique landmark.
Like today, some people had already run to the balconies of their apartments, cameras in hand, aimed at the sky. No one knew when the Dawn Knight would appear, or where. But that didn't stop some from trying their luck.
This wasn't like a politician or a celebrity who could be easily photographed. The Dawn Knight's mystery was universally acknowledged. Not a single newspaper in New York, big or small, had managed to get an exclusive story on him. The situation was even more ridiculous now; perhaps a single photo of the Dawn Knight heading home after work could be sold for a large sum in various newspapers.
Peter Parker was one such young man with this kind of thought. Unlike others waiting for the Dawn Knight's trail, he also possessed superpowers, but he'd only had them for a short time, just recently, in the past few days.
Peter was a poor boy who lost both his parents at a young age. After his parents passed away, his Aunt and Uncle, who lived in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, adopted him. They were a kind old couple. Because they had no children, they treated Peter Parker as their own and gave him all their love.
Peter went to Midtown High School. He had excellent grades, but he didn't have a good time at school. Because he was too shy and introverted and often immersed himself in the world of science, everyone called him "nerd Peter" and wasn't very willing to accept him.
This was normal; the academic failures would definitely target the academic achievers. Not everyone was like Tony, who was both a science super-genius and skilled at interpersonal relationships. Of course, that interpersonal skill was limited to women.
To make more friends, Peter had tried quite a few things. In his most recent attempt, he invited his classmates to a science exhibition, but it was clear that young people his age were far more interested in other things. So, Peter ended up touring the public exhibition on nuclear testing alone, and that's when the unexpected happened.
He was bitten on the hand by a spider that had been exposed to radiation. Soon after, he discovered that he possessed extraordinary abilities. He gained superhuman strength, agility, and the ability to effortlessly climb any surface using bio-static electricity, along with a sharp, preternatural "Spider-Sense."
This made him excited, but also a little confused, a feeling shared by all those with superpowers: What should I do with this power? For ordinary people, it was probably a happy dilemma.
What would ordinary people do with superpowers? Generally, if they were those who were severely oppressed or often involved in criminal activities, they would often use their superpowers to benefit themselves. These people actually made up the majority, because everyone had a bit of self-interest; everyone wanted to live a better life. It just depended on whether or not you could overcome the moral hurdle in your heart.
Of course, the ones who most hoped this wouldn't happen were the banks. Seriously, the number of bank robberies in New York every year was already high enough; they really didn't want any super-powered individuals to get involved.
Peter had the ability to choose to do so; whether it was robbing or stealing, his abilities were quite useful. But he didn't choose to do so. Aunt and Uncle had raised him well; at the very least, he had enough conscience.
But that didn't mean Peter hadn't thought about using his abilities to make money. There were many ways to make money in the world; there were always ways to use superpowers without breaking the law.
Speaking of which, some people would definitely wonder why Peter wanted to make money so much. It was simple: he was going through his teenage years.
Everyone has a bit of a desire to show off when they're young, with designer clothes, watches, and cool motorcycles or sports cars. Anything that can attract a girl's attention is definitely what young boys want. Of course, there's a very important prerequisite: you need enough Mr. Franklin to support you.
Peter's parents died young and didn't leave anything of value behind. And the Parkers weren't rich either. Ben Parker was a retired worker who now worked as a security guard at a library. Aunt May was a full-time housewife. Their life was actually quite hard, and under these circumstances, Peter didn't have the nerve to ask for money to buy luxury goods to pick up girls.
If it were before, Peter might have chosen to work honestly and find a good job after going to college. But now, the excitement brought by his superpowers magnified the fantasies in his heart. He wanted to earn some extra money that he couldn't usually get.
He thought for a long time and finally felt that his Spider-Sense was undoubtedly a good thing to make money, especially in New York, where there was a superhero who was very expensive to photograph and liked to fly around.
The sky wasn't even light yet, and Peter was already waiting on the top floor of an apartment building between the Manhattan and Long Island districts. This was one of the places rumored to be most likely to see the Dawn Knight. Of course, there were other places, such as Staten Island, the Statue of Liberty in New York, etc., which were all rumored to be suspicious observation points. These strange claims made it hard not to suspect that this was a way for tourism businesses to attract tourists.
Peter didn't care about any of that. All he hoped for now was that he would be lucky. With his superpowers, he had a lot more advantages than others, plus a little luck. Maybe he could make a big profit. Thinking about the rewards offered by several newspapers and the girl he had been longing for, Peter's heart was on fire.
There was already a faint light on the horizon, and Peter had been squatting on the top floor balcony of an apartment for more than an hour. He came out early under the pretext of morning running, but that didn't mean he could waste his time like this. He didn't want Uncle Ben to know about his affairs, especially about earning money.
Uncle Ben always wanted him to study hard until he went to college. But he didn't have that idea at the moment. High school students at the peak of hormone secretion would feel that college wasn't the most important goal at this time; girls were. Peter Parker was no exception; he now felt that cute girls were much more important than college.
To get money for the girl, he had to earn it. And to earn money, he could only apologize to Uncle Ben first.
Time flew by, and it would soon be the start of a normal day. Peter, who still needed to go to school, had to give up his plans for today. Just as he leaned out, intending to climb down the wall, his Spider-Sense activated.
This incredible ability came from an unknown sixth sense, not only a premonition of danger around him but also a subtle mental connection to things related to him or those he cared about.
Like now, an invisible string deep within his heart suddenly twanged. He instinctively turned his head toward a distant direction, his enhanced vision allowing him to clearly see a black figure cutting through the fading night sky.
Peter immediately jumped onto the rooftop, pulled out his cherished camera, and started sprinting between the apartment buildings.
He focused intently on the figure in the sky through his camera. Thanks to his Spider-Sense, he didn't even need to watch out for obstacles on the rooftop as he ran. And he moved incredibly fast, covering three or four meters in a single stride, even jumping over the ten-meter gap between two apartments.
Soon, he found the best position and started taking pictures of the figure in the sky with the camera he had saved up for during the summer.
Perhaps today was Peter's lucky day. Because he was carrying a girl, Zhou Yi wasn't flying very fast. Because of this, Peter managed to capture many clear photos. Otherwise, with the Dawn Knight's usual breakneck speed, he would probably have to go to SHIELD to get a clear image.
It only took a dozen seconds for the Dawn Knight to appear and disappear. But for Peter, that was more than enough; he had already gotten what he wanted.
Peter's lips curved into a happy smile as he previewed the photos on his camera. His grin stretched to his ears when he flipped to one particularly clear picture. At that moment, it was as if Peter could already see countless Mr. Franklins beckoning to him.
If you zoomed in on the camera screen, you could see a somewhat slender female figure amidst the clouds, held protectively in the Dawn Knight's embrace by his cape. The woman was embracing the Dawn Knight's shoulders and neck, nestled intimately in his arms.
This was a superhero scandal! Peter could already imagine the newspapers bidding furiously for this photo. Thinking about it, he was even crawling sideways down the wall. He was truly experiencing the benefits of his superpowers. To say nothing else, making money was a piece of cake.
Peter Parker was now leisurely taking the subway back to his home in Queens. Meanwhile, Zhou Yi, also safely returned home with Serana before sunrise.
