Chapter 1 How can I be Spider-Man when my face is being hugged?
pain!
Lin An suddenly woke up from a nightmare and felt a stabbing pain in his head.
His vision was blurred, and his consciousness was distorted into bizarre fragments.
He struggled to get up from the bed in a daze, but his paralyzed limbs made him freeze in place.
Opening his eyes, Lin An raised his arms with all his strength and pressed hard on his temples on both sides, trying to bring his consciousness back to his body.
"Am I not dead yet?"
Subconsciously, he reached out and touched his chest.
The chest is covered with a thin layer of clothing.
Unlike what he had imagined, there were no bloody wounds, no shattered sternum, and no spilled blood.
All I touched was the skin that was still emitting residual heat.
After confirming that he was still alive, Lin An let out a long sigh, stretched his stiff body and got off the bed.
The surroundings were quiet, and the moonlight scattered on the ground through the window, casting a silver moonlight.
Lin An looked around the extremely unfamiliar room, his eyes full of confusion.
Why am I here?!
Struggling to recall his past memories, he tried to figure out what had happened.
The unbearable memories flooded back into my mind, and scenes flashed through my mind quickly.
The narrow and enclosed space was filled with cold air and the chill of the night. I was fully armed, holding an automatic weapon, carefully guarding the dark.
There are things out there that are scarier than wild beasts.
Suddenly!
A strange creature covered with keratin "armor" and transverse vertebrae suddenly jumped out of the shadows.
Corrosive acid spewed out of the alien's mouth, instantly corroding the weapon in his hand.
Lin An, who was attacked by surprise, became calmer. He threw away his rifle and drew out the tactical dagger from his waist.
With the powerful muscle burst, the sharp blade cut off the neck of the sneak attacking alien in an instant.
Bending down, Lin An stared at the dying alien with an expressionless face.
When he was about to finish him off, a silent facehugger (alien larva) appeared in the blind spot of his vision, and when he relaxed, it suddenly jumped up and pounced on his face.
The above is the last image that remained in Lin An’s mind before he lost consciousness.
"At that time, was I hugged by a facehugger?"
Reaching out and touching his chest again, Lin An whispered to himself.
Although he fights against aliens, he is not from the alien world.
Lin An, who was born in the Celestial Empire and had the attributes of an "orphan", originally led a dull and boring life.
He was originally selfish and indifferent, but on a whim one day, he did what might be the only good thing in his life - he helped an old lady who was trying to scam him to cross the road when the light ran red.
As a result, he was hit by a dump truck that was coming straight at him.
After waking up, he found that his soul had traveled to the "Alien" world and became a mercenary of the same name for the world's most notorious company, Weyland.
He decided to make the best of it and quickly adapted to his identity as a mercenary.
Accustomed to killing, he thought his life would eventually end with a bullet.
Unexpectedly, the Weyland Corporation, which was seeking its own death, captured the alien from the spaceship, established a base, and began to study this natural "killing machine".
As a result, the alien escaped and started killing people indiscriminately, turning the entire research base into a purgatory.
As an employee of Weyland Corporation, he was ordered to eliminate the aliens.
His last remaining memory was being attacked by a facehugger that popped out of the shadows.
Exhaling, Lin An forced himself to turn his thoughts back to the present.
Looking at the furnishings in the house, there are old computers, scattered books, and desk lamps that are still connected by wires.
These outdated yet familiar things seem like items from the 21st century?
The "alien" world where he lives is in the colonial era of the 22nd century, and such outdated things no longer exist there.
Lin An looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar things, and his mind was in a trance for a moment.
"Myself. Are you back now?"
From the "Alien" world, back to my own world? !
Hesitantly, Lin An looked at the calendar on the wall.
The huge words "20xx" on the calendar caught his eye.
I am really back!
You know, in the "Alien" world, the moon colonization had not even begun in the early 21st century!
Lin An, with extremely complicated emotions, stared at the calendar for a long time in silence.
If he still stayed in the "Alien" world and was parasitized by the facehugger, the ending would not be a good one.
Once fully grown, the parasitic alien will forcefully penetrate the skin near the sternum.
At the moment of "chest breaking", the host's arteries were severed, the chest muscles were stirred into a mess, and the fragile sternum was shattered in an instant.
Having witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he knew how painful it was for the host.
Since my soul has traveled back in time, it means that I will not encounter this kind of pain again.
Perhaps I am already dead in that world. "Just think of it as a dream!"
Lin An shook his head and let out a breath.
"Peter?"
Just as he was in a complicated mood, a female voice suddenly came from downstairs.
"Peter, haven't you finished your exam paper yet? If you don't eat your banana bread, your uncle will eat it all."
"?"
Lin An stood there in a daze listening to the unfamiliar voice.
This doesn't seem to be the Celestial Empire.
Having a bad feeling in his heart, he quickly walked to the mirror in the room.
White skin, green face, hazelnut eyes, yellow-brown hair.
Looking at the face in the mirror that did not belong to him, Lin An was stunned.
At the same time, a memory that did not belong to him flooded into his mind like a tide.
After a while, Lin An, who had absorbed the memory, slowly reached out and touched his face.
It turned out that I didn't go back.
From the "Alien" world, he traveled again to the American comics world and became a high school student named "Peter Parker".
Peter Parker Spider-Man.
Although he is not a fan of American comics, he is not ignorant of the subject and he knows the name Spider-Man.
Superhero?
Looking away from the mirror, Lin An's expression kept changing.
How could a selfish and cold bastard like me become a superhero?
Living with death, constantly killing others, and finally ending your life with a bullet from the enemy, is your destiny!
"Peter?! Don't make me go up there and pull you off!"
There was another hurried voice coming from downstairs.
"Come right down, Aunt May."
According to the memory of his previous life, Lin An shouted downstairs.
Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. He quickly adjusted his mood and went downstairs.
downstairs.
Aunt Mei was carrying a dinner tray. When she saw Lin An coming downstairs, her eyebrows moved slightly and she said to her husband at the dining table, "Our smart boy has forgotten to eat and sleep."
Uncle Ben pushed his glasses up. "Sometimes he's like his dad, easily lost in his own world, which may not be a bad thing. By the way, can I have another slice of this banana bread?"
Since Peter hasn't been bitten by the spider yet, poor Uncle Ben hasn't been sacrificed yet.
After a second of silence for Uncle Ben, Lin An acted as if nothing had happened and walked to the dining table.
"Snapped!"
Aunt May patted Uncle Ben's outstretched hand and said dissatisfiedly, "This is specially prepared for Peter. It is rich in potassium. I read in a book about homeopathy that eating potassium is the best way to fight allergies. Bananas contain the most potassium."
"allergy?"
Uncle Ben blinked and asked confusedly, "What is Peter allergic to? Why can't I remember?"
"Environmental allergies. Doesn't Peter have social disabilities? He can't integrate well into the school environment."
"Forehead"
Uncle Ben fell silent.
What kind of metaphysical therapy is this?!
Lin An reached out to grab a piece of banana bread and try Aunt Mei’s dark cuisine.
Suddenly!
A sharp pain shot through his chest, a stinging pain in his throat, and a feeling of nausea attacked his nerves.
"Well!"
The feeling of swelling spread from the chest to the whole body, as if some species was constantly wriggling inside!
Lin An was terrified, and his heart was filled with shock!
how come? !
My soul was clearly transferred to Peter Parker's body, so why was the alien larvae bred by the facehugger still inside my body? !
Is it the time travel system that is causing trouble?
Or what happened in between?!
"Peter, are you okay?"
Aunt May asked with concern when she saw that Peter looked upset.
"I'm fine, sorry, I suddenly remembered something."
Lin An shook his head and walked quickly upstairs.
Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben at the dining table looked at Lin An as he left, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Aunt May put down her plate, a look of worry on her face.
New author, new book, please collect it! Mina-san!
