------------------------------------------------
The Amusent Park's complex terrain and heavy foot traffic ant the police didn't dare to fire their weapons haphazardly, fearing they might accidentally injure the civilians enjoying themselves there.
Consequently, the pursuit team led by Chief Stacy had no choice but to split so officers off to evacuate the civilians while the rest continued the chase.
Given the Lizard Man's speed, he completely vanished from the police's sight within a few blinks of an eye amidst the chaotic crowd.
It was frustrating.
Chief Stacy could only have the pursuing officers split up again, ordering them to call for backup as soon as they spotted the Lizard Man's whereabouts.
And as everyone knows, in movie plots, splitting up usually ans soone is definitely going to et with an accident.
Generally, the person who ets with an accident isn't just so random extra, but a character who holds a certain weight in the plot, whose death can elevate the entire story.
On the scene, besides Ryan and Gwen, the only character who could be considered significant was Gwen's father, Chief Stacy.
Thus, by a stroke of pure coincidence, the Amusent Park's Haunted House that Chief Stacy was responsible for searching happened to be the Lizard Man's hiding place.
Inside the dimly lit Haunted House where eerie lights flickered, Chief Stacy was cautiously searching deep within, gun in hand.
But as everyone knows, players of shooting gas share a common flaw: they never look up.
Chief Stacy had clearly made the sa mistake this ti.
He was wary of his front, back, left, right, and even the ground beneath his feet, but he simply forgot to be wary of the ceiling.
The Lizard Man was lurking right on the ceiling, a pair of cold vertical pupils staring chillingly at the approaching Chief Stacy below, like a green mantis ready to catch a cicada at any mont!
And the 'Cocoon' bulletproof vest on Chief Stacy's body was clearly unable to withstand the Lizard Man's sharp 'Sickle' claws!
But... after 'the mantis stalks the cicada,' there is often another line: 'unaware of the oriole behind'!
The Lizard Man, who considered himself the hunter, clearly didn't realize that he himself might be the prey of an oriole at this mont!
Ryan was crouched upside down in a dark corner of the ceiling, his pair of crimson eyes staring at the Lizard Man's sturdy, poised back.
Therefore, as the Lizard Man pounced toward Chief Stacy, who had walked directly beneath him, Ryan moved at the sa ti!
A foul wind ca from above, and Chief Stacy imdiately realized sothing was wrong. However, he only had ti to look up; before he could even raise the muzzle of his gun, he saw the Lizard Man's hideous large green face already right in front of him!
At this mont, Chief Stacy's life flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
He thought of his wife; if he passed away, it would surely be hard for her to raise three children alone... Oh no, how could he forget? Gwen was no longer a child; she had grown up and was already an adult...
Gwen should be able to take care of herself and the family. After all, his Gwen had always been the most outstanding and his greatest pride...
It was just a pity that he wouldn't be able to witness Gwen walk down the most important aisle of her life, nor would he be able to hold his grandchildren...
But that young man he saw today, Ryan—yes, his na was Ryan—Gwen's boyfriend, was very excellent. He believed Ryan could take care of Gwen...
So, he could rest easy... A smile of relief finally appeared on Chief Stacy's face as he closed his eyes, waiting for death to descend.
Until...
"Uh, Chief Stacy, this doesn't seem like a good place for a nap, does it? If you want to sleep, why don't you go back to your patrol car and sleep for a while?"
Ryan, who had shot webs from both hands to firmly hold back the Lizard Man pouncing from the ceiling, looked at Chief Stacy, who was stunned in place and even finally closed his eyes with a smile, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
After hearing Ryan's voice, which had beco deep and magnetic due to the suit's voice-changing function, Chief Stacy, who had been waiting for death with his eyes closed, was startled awake and snapped his eyes open.
Only then did he see clearly that the Lizard Man pouncing toward him was being held back by a crimson figure on the ceiling!
No wonder he felt like his life's flashback was so long just now... It turned out it wasn't a flashback at all; he had been saved!
Seeing Chief Stacy staring at him and then freezing up again, Ryan was completely speechless.
With this guy's slow-witted nature, how on earth was he ever elected as New York's finest Chief?
Ryan, who already had little patience, simply used one hand to hold the two webs restraining the Lizard Man and freed up his other hand to shoot a web at Chief Stacy.
Whoosh—
After binding Chief Stacy, Ryan gave his arm a tug, hanging the Chief from the ceiling.
"Sorry, Chief, I don't have ti to play the staring ga with you right now. So, to keep you from being crushed flat, please stay on the ceiling you ignored for a while, okay?"
"Just take it as a lesson for yourself~"
After saying that, without waiting for Chief Stacy's answer, Ryan, who had cleared the ground, no longer held onto the Lizard Man. Instead, he kicked off the ceiling and shot toward the Lizard Man like an arrow, stepping heavily onto the Lizard Man's back!
Unlike Peter's agile fighting style, Ryan's combat thod leaned more toward power!
With one stomp, a crisp sound of bone cracking could clearly be heard from the Lizard Man's back!
Furthermore, after hitting the ground, he smashed a human-shaped shallow pit directly into the floor!
It was evident how much force Ryan had used!
If Peter had taken this hit directly, he would probably have to lie down for a while to recover.
But the Lizard Man happened to be the type with high health and strong self-healing abilities!
Therefore, even under such a heavy blow, he imdiately recovered, opening his bloody maw and turning around, wanting to make the person who ambushed him pay a painful price!
But just as he turned around, a size 13 foot rapidly enlarged before his eyes!
The Lizard Man's vertical pupils shrank suddenly, and he had no choice but to give up his idea of an all-out attack, crossing his arms to block the heavy stomp!
Bang!
The stomp aid at the Lizard Man was blocked, but it also forced the Lizard Man to use every ounce of his strength. He felt that what was stepping on him wasn't a human foot, but the foot of a damn Hundred-ton King Optimus Pri!
It was so heavy it simply didn't seem human!
The Lizard Man being completely suppressed by Ryan was actually an inevitable result...
After all, if the Lizard Man's strength was slightly greater than Peter's, then Ryan's strength, which was three tis Peter's, was far greater than the Lizard Man's!
As Ryan slowly increased the force under his foot, the Lizard Man's resisting arms also made an overburdened sound of bones grinding.
The shallow pit on the ground was also cracking, developing toward becoming a deep pit!
