Chapter 219 Gwen's Death
"Peter? Are you listening?"

"Yes, I'm here."

Peter stood in the woods, talking to Gwen on the phone.

He was somewhat surprised after hearing Gwen's story about how Spider Silk and the others had lost the bracelet device.

Are these people so careless?

"Maybe we can ask Reed for help, even though his previous time machine screwed up."

Gwen hesitated, then gave Peter the suggestion on the phone.

"You know him well, so I wanted to ask your opinion."

Peter looked at the surrounding woods that were beginning to be filled with fog and stretched out his right hand. The black alien spider slowly climbed up his arm and was then absorbed by his black exoskeleton armor.

"I was just about to teach this brat a lesson."

Peter waited until the alien spider had sunk into his body, then spoke to Gwen on the other end of the phone.

He was indeed preparing to hang up and beat up this naughty kid who had tricked him.

But because of some accident, he came here.

After the battle with the Lizard Man in the abandoned underground tunnel, Peter did not stay at the scene.

After the platform collapsed, he disappeared from the sight of Captain America and George Stacy.

But he left behind at the scene the alien spider that was born from his body.

The alien spider followed the scent of the lizard man and finally came here.

Then these lizardmen disappeared into the woods, making it impossible for the alien spiders to continue tracking them.

That's why he's where he is now.

He didn't come here for the little rascal, he just wanted to see what kind of organization this so-called "Spider Silk" was?
Gwen didn't know Peter was out right now, she thought Peter was still grounded at home.

"Well, although I also want to grab this naughty kid's ears, there's no need to hang him up and beat him."

Gwen exhaled and asked Peter, "When can you come over? It would be better if we go together. After all, you are more familiar with each other."

“It might take some time.”

Peter hesitated, then said to Gwen, "Is later okay? I have some business to attend to."

"of course."

Gwen shrugged, "They shouldn't be too anxious now, after all, it has already happened."

After hanging up the phone, Gwen said to the three people who were looking at her eagerly, "Sorry, I don't think I said something wrong?"

"There's really no hurry."

Jessica plopped down in a chair.

"We can study who could have stolen something from under our noses."

Shadow Spider-Man wanted to pick up the beer he had just bought, but when he saw several people looking at him, he had to put the beer down.

"Would you like to try the discounted Budweiser at the supermarket?"

"no thanks."

Spider Silk waved her hand and changed the subject to the suspect. "I was already led away at the time. That guy must have been able to hide from your perception."

"Yes, maybe the other party is also a superpowered person, good at hiding."

Jessica stroked her chin and said, "Maybe the thief is like us, a Spider-Man or something like that, so he can fool our spider sense. At least his perception ability is similar to ours, so he won't be discovered."

"spider?"

Gwen frowned when she heard Jessica talk about spider-like abilities.

In this world, Peter and I are the only Spider-Mans. Is there anyone else?
"Anyway, we've met our rival. If that guy uses our bracelet to travel to other parallel universes, he might cause some trouble."

Jessica sighed and sat down.

Then she rudely snatched the Budweiser from Spider-Man Noir and started drinking it.

"Are you sure this won't cause harm to your body? I mean, to the baby in your belly."

Gwen glanced at Jessica's belly with some concern.

She was worried that the other party's overeating would be harmful to the baby.

"I'm not that fragile. You have to know, Gwen, that pregnant women actually have a better appetite. This is a normal lifestyle."

"Ok."

Gwen did not continue to talk about this topic.

A few minutes later.

Shadow Spider-Man and Silk returned to their rooms, and Gwen hesitated and stayed in Jessica's room.

"Um, can I ask you some questions?"

Gwen has been holding something in her heart and now wants to ask it out.

Otherwise she felt like she would suffocate to death.

"about what?"

At this time, Spider-Woman was reading a newspaper.

On the back of the newspaper was a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge. Gwen looked at the Brooklyn Bridge in the newspaper and asked Jessica, "Do you know what she looks like?"

"She? Who do you mean?"

Jessica put down the newspaper.

"Another me, the me in your world."

Jessica thought about it and said to Gwen, "To be honest, I'm not sure. After all, it may be too long ago. I don't know much about it."

She didn't tell the truth.

In fact, Jessica knew something about what happened to Gwen Stacy in her own world.

"Really?"

Gwen looked at Jessica with burning eyes.

Jessica felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of look and was quickly defeated.

She didn't want to deceive the girl she had a crush on.

"Well, Gwen, it's a story about a bridge."

Jessica sighed and turned the newspaper over so that the Brooklyn Bridge was facing her.

"It was a tragedy. It was on this bridge that the Green Goblin pushed Gwen Stacy from our world down. Peter tried to catch her with his spider silk, but the huge inertia of falling and the strong upward pull of Spider-Man's spider silk led to the tragedy."

Gwen was stunned when she heard how Gwen died.

"This is also Peter Parker's lifelong pain."

Jessica looked at Gwen, "Every Spider-Man has a memory that he cannot bear to look back on, but they all take responsibility, and when the crisis of inheriting the family comes, Spider-Man from every universe stands up."

Gwen took a deep breath, she hadn't yet recovered from the information that Gwen was dead.

"You haven't experienced this yet, Gwen. Maybe you can learn from Peter when you get to our universe."

After a while, Gwen raised her head and said to Jessica, "Is she dead? I have always wondered, if there is another universe, and I live a normal life in that universe, and fall in love and get married with Peter, what kind of life would it be like? I often think about this, but Gwen Stacy, will she really not live a normal life?"

Gwen felt a little sad for her alternate universe self.

"Hey, listen, Gwen, honey."

Jessica reached out and held Gwen's right hand. "I've been doing this for a long time. Believe me, a normal life doesn't exist. The other Gwen, her death was unfortunate, but not because her perfect life like in a novel ended, but because she experienced all the good and the mistakes, and she had no regrets in her life."

Jessica expressed her views in the image of a spiritual mentor.

"I understand you, dear. I understand the dream of a simple life. You can understand it by looking at me."

Putting her arm around Gwen's shoulders, Jessica continued:

"But believe me, when you encounter difficulties, when you are not sure you can do something, you are actually figuring out who you are and what the meaning of your life is."

"But we have to live one day at a time and do our best. That's what we are all about."

"Thank you, Jessica."

After a moment, Gwen reached out and hugged Jessica.

At this moment, she felt that Jessica gave her a feeling a bit like a mother and a sister.

Although the two have known each other for a short time, this feeling is particularly strong.

"Clap!"

Peter turned off his phone and put it away.

He looked towards the increasingly dense fog around him.

"Oh!"

Suddenly!

A spider silk shot out from the foggy woods.

Peter immediately raised his arms.

The skeletonized arms blocked his body to protect him from the incoming spider silk.

"prick!"

Peter pulled the spider silk off his arm.

Spiderman?
He really didn't expect to meet someone who could shoot spider silk here.

"Oh!"

The next second, he moved forward on the ground and arrived at the place where the attack came from in an instant.

The other person was wearing a red and black uniform and had a stern face. He looked like the kind of guy who didn't talk much.

"who are you?"

Peter asked him with a frown instead of attacking him directly.

"I'm Agent Jesse."

The other party did not hide his name but said it directly.

"This is not a place for you, Spider-Man, get out of here."
