Chapter 143 I became a mysterious person? !
"Are you sure?"

Peter doubted whether the other party could do it.

Even the time machine built by Tony Stark in Endgame was not of this level.

"There shouldn't be any major problems. I'm saying nothing unexpected, but there are always some unexpected problems that may arise during the development process."

Reed said the general direction was fine.

After asking Reed a few questions about the time machine, Peter was silent for a while and asked him, "What do you think of ghosts?"

"You mean those ghosts from Goosebumps?"

Reed tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Although it's very creative, I don't want to come across that kind of stuff. Or is it that one of your friends is possessed? Just like the exorcist in the movie."

Although Reed looks like a little science geek, he is also interested in horror topics like ghosts.

"You know what? I had a friend who was possessed by a demon. His family invited a nun from the church, and then the nun found a guy named Damon."

Reed said to Peter excitedly, "Although that guy is very unreliable. When he came in, he didn't look for a cross, but went to the toilet. Until he came to the top floor, he saw a guy with fire in his eyes and possessed by the devil."

"Do you know what happened next?"

"Do not."

Peter said that his role was just a listener and he didn't need to express his opinion.

"Well, it turns out that fellow named Damon immediately sprinkled some holy water, and my friend was exorcised."

Peter frowned and looked at Reed who was beaming with joy. "Is it that simple?"

"Of course not. The exorcist named Damon told him to stop pretending. This is not holy water. It's just tap water from the toilet."

Reed told the truth.

"My friend wasn't possessed by a demon. He just wanted to skip class, so he did this. Do you think that's the end of it? Actually, it wasn't. My friend got so angry that he wanted to punch the other person, but a circle of fire suddenly ignited under their feet."

"This is incredible. Although my friend was not really possessed by the devil, the guy named Damon is a real exorcist."

Peter listened to the other person's story and wondered if he had been deceived by his friend.

"Are you sure you're not telling a ghost story?"

Peter reached out and pinched his face.

"Of course not. I also found out about the exorcist named Damon. He is a university professor. Oh, and he also has a sister who is the boss of an auction house."

Reed glanced at Peter's hand that was pinching his face with disdain, and said to Peter: "So I believe that since there are real exorcists in this world, there may really be demons."

"However, science is based on positivism, which means that science only focuses on phenomena that can be verified through observation, experimentation and data analysis. Therefore, if science is to prove the existence of ghosts in the world, it is necessary to find evidence that can prove the existence of ghosts."

Reed said somewhat dejectedly: "I can't explain it scientifically."

"But science cannot prove that it doesn't exist."

Peter said to him, “Just like humans can’t prove there is no God.”

"I don't understand psychology and behavioral science. Maybe it has something to do with the human spiritual world. The human brain and nervous system are the basis for consciousness and thinking. Everything we perceive is interpreted and processed by the brain. If ghosts exist, they must exist in our physical world, or at least interact with our physical world."

Although Reed is young, he still hopes to use science to understand these existences.

"So maybe it has something to do with magic, which is another subject I need to learn."

Reed blinked and asked Peter, "Why are we discussing this topic? Are you going to treat me to a horror movie?"

"No!"

Peter shook his head and said to Reed, "A friend of mine said he saw the legendary Wendigo recently."

"Wendigo!"

Reed's eyes widened. "It's the cannibalistic monster from the legend! I've seen a story about it in Goosebumps. The mine collapsed, and the miners inside ate each other and turned into this kind of monster!"

Reed, who seemed to be a loyal fan of the "Goosebumps" series, immediately started rummaging through the drawers in the room.

"Oh, I invented something before."

He took out something that looked like a watch from somewhere and put it on his wrist.

"Using neural perception, I can project what's in my mind, like this."

As he closed his eyes, a virtual image suddenly appeared in front of Peter. The lifelike Wendigo ghost from Indian legend suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

"Are you talking about this kind of ghost? In fact, I used to use this kind of prank to scare the students around me. Benjamin (the stone man) was almost frightened by the monster I created. Maybe what your friend has seen is this kind of false image, similar to the magnetic field of that space that records the image and then projects it."

Peter recalled the scene in the swamp. Although the Wendigo ignored him, it didn't look like a projection.

But he began to take an interest in the gadget in Reed's hand.

A device that can project human thoughts. How could the other side come up with such a heaven-defying invention?
Now he was somewhat certain that the other party might really be able to develop a time-travel bracelet.

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I will tell my friends."

Peter said as he took the watch off Reed's hand and put it on his own.

According to the strength shown by Mr. Fantastic, or now should be called Boy Fantastic.

Perhaps he could help me see the problem of the deformed embryo in my chest.

Peter was thinking about how to use Reed to help him solve the problem, and the image of the alien also appeared in his mind.

A terrifying alien with an exoskeleton surrounded by darkness and saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth appeared in the room instantly according to Peter's projection of his thoughts.

The alien with a lifelike appearance and exuding murderous aura instantly frightened Reed.

Reed, who thought he was going to be eaten in the next second, rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

When Peter came to his senses, he saw Reed lying unconscious on the ground.

Is the reaction so big?

Peter looked at Reed who was frightened unconscious by the alien he projected, and fell into deep thought.

The next day.

Gwen got up early and made coffee downstairs.

She had been thinking about the ghost last night, after she had separated from Peter.

Of course it’s not a question of whether it’s Ghost Spider or Gwen Spider.

It's about real ghosts.

She had a dream.

Now the dream came automatically into her mind, and she bit her lip again.

The Disneyland I had dreamed of before seemed to have naturally merged with the thing I had dreamed of.

She dreamed that something like that was approaching her, ruining all her good dreams and good intentions forever.

She couldn't see what it looked like, but she wasn't the only one who saw it this time.

There are countless Spider-Men similar to himself, and of course, Peter is among them.

God knows why there are so many Spider-Men there!
Is it possible that besides myself and Peter, there is another Spider-Man in this world?

Why don't we form a group and debut together!

Gwen stirred her coffee and looked out into the sunlight.

A Spider-Man who looked a bit like Peter in a black and white uniform looked ghostly and lifeless, holding something wrapped in a sack.

I didn't look very good in there, for some reason, maybe something happened to me at the dining table, like I spilled ketchup or dropped a dish of jam, because my clothes were all covered with red stains.

Well, I can't lie to myself, it's just blood.

Opposite him, behind a pile of dead trees, stood a huge monster with grayish-yellow skin, big yellow-green eyes, and ears that didn't look like ears at all. They looked like a giant lizard born from a human.

This monster pointed its scaly-clawed finger at them, and these people craned their necks to look up at it...

In the monster's hands was a Spider-Man's head.

Is that Spider-Man?

I think he's more like a mutated spider monster, like Frank from the Midtown High incident.
