Chapter 296 Dark Creatures and Mutants
"So, not much has changed?"

Presbyterian Hospital, Peter asked Ryan.

"On the surface, the embryo hasn't changed much, but your body functions are no longer human."

After Ryan examined Peter's body, he said to him, "You call this creature an alien, right?"

"Yes, alien."

"On the surface, your genes have now been combined with this alien gene, such as strong strength, sharp nails, and highly corrosive blood."

Ryan organized his words and said, "The embryo in your chest is not a cancer cell as we initially speculated, or a biological egg that absorbs nutrients and grows out of the body. It is more like a gene mixer that absorbs foreign genes and then fuses and evolves with human genes, and then the changes are fed back to you."

As Peter listened, he looked at the CT scan on the table.

The top of the alien embryo is a petal-like structure with a total of four petals, like a flower made of flesh and blood.

"or."

Peter took over his words and said: "I am the gene mixer itself, and the appearance is just a shell."

"Forehead"

Hearing what Peter said, Ryan foamed at the mouth.

When he thought that Peter's true body might really be this strange embryonic body as he said, he felt a chill in his body.

What kind of evil aliens are taking over the Earth?

"I'm kidding, Dr. Lane."

Peter patted his shoulder and said in a joking tone: "In every way, I am a human being, not an alien."

Having said that, he believes that the probability of this conjecture is more than 90%.

And this can well explain why he can transform into an alien and a spider monster.

The gene mixer is the main body, and this body named Peter is just a shell.

The mixer can manipulate the body to transform into a more powerful monster, fighting in a purely combat form.

Just like the Kree Dr. Minerva whom he had dealt with before.

The geneticist modified her genes so that she could transform into a giant monster for battle.

"I acknowledge your human identity. After all, your spirit has never been affected by it."

Ryan let out a long sigh and said, "Logically, during the gene fusion process, your mental will would be affected to some extent, but the strange thing is that it didn't cause any erosion to you."

"Sometimes I even suspect that it is a technology that does not come from our world."

After getting to know Peter, Dr. Ryan was no longer reserved.

He expressed his opinion, "Maybe it is technology from another world, and that person or god placed it in your chest."

"God?"

Peter hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

If there is such a god, could it be that he is also a god who has watched the Alien series like himself?

Looking up, he looked out the window at the darkening night.

After a moment, he asked Dr. Ryan, "I heard that Strange had a car accident?"

He changed the subject to Doctor Strange.

"Yes, it was an accident that could have been avoided."

Dr. Ryan said regretfully, "I hope he can pull through."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from outside.

In between was a voice that seemed to be Strange's.

Ryan quickly opened the door, and what he saw was a patient being pushed in an ambulance.

Strange pushed the cart and rushed to the emergency room quickly.

"That is."

He seemed to see that it was Christine who was rescued.

Peter stood in the office, looking at Christine lying unconscious on the cart, and was stunned.

Something happened to Dr. Christine?!

With his brow furrowed, he recalled the Marvel works he had seen in his previous life.

I seem to remember that Christine is not dead?
Do not!
Soon he shook his head and realized that he was on Earth 65.

The Doctor Strange here is not the one from the main world.

Looking at Strange standing outside the operating room, close to mental collapse, Peter prayed for his fate for a second.

The next day.

Gwen shot out spider silk from her wrist and rushed towards the school.

The aftermath of the Inheritors incident has gradually faded, but the citizens' curiosity about the Spider-Man who once appeared has not diminished much.

"I believe the only benefit is that even if I appear on the streets, not many people will talk about me. After all, compared to those Spider-Mans, I am not that special."

"Whoosh!"

Shooting out spider silk, the figure passed through the tall buildings, and Gwen's eyes turned forward.

Her eyes suddenly caught a group of cheering students near a school.

The person surrounded in the middle seemed to be a familiar-looking blond man.

And next to the crowd, a car was burning.

Thick smoke billowed from the car, and the "crackling" sound of flames spread several meters away.

It's this boring trick again!
"Hey!"

With a "bang", Gwen fell down and stood in front of these guys.

"Can't you kids just hang out at the mall like normal people? Why do you have to do something so irresponsible, so depraved, and something that only delinquent teenagers and bored lazy people would do?"

Although she was still a teenager, Gwen still put on a stern face and scolded the other person.

Since she was wearing a mask, no one knew her true appearance, so she had no discomfort in saying this.

"So. What are you doing?"

Gwen pointed a finger at the blond.

This guy should be the Geldof that Xiao Taoqi mentioned.

The student next to Geldof swallowed and said to him, "Hey, man, this is Spider-Woman, also known as Ghost Spider. Although she is not as powerful as Spider-Man, she is also a tough one."

Geldof had just transferred to New York and was not very familiar with his good neighbor Gwen.

He did know that Spider-Man in New York City was famous.

He clenched his fists and looked at Gwen eagerly.

"What are you going to do to me?"

"I'm going to kick you, a fool, till you crawl everywhere, and by the way, I'm going to tell you not to do such illegal things again in the future."

Gwen heard several people muttering and felt a little annoyed that these idiots looked down on her.

Geldof looked at her provocatively, "If it was Spider-Man, it might be a bit troublesome, but if it's you, a female Spider-Man imitating him, I'm not afraid of you."

"Well, you can try to see if I'm a copycat by using your face."

Gwen immediately became unhappy when she heard the other party say that she was an imitator of Peter.

At this time, Geldof was also accumulating energy in his hands.

A battle seemed imminent.

Just as everyone at the scene held their breath and watched the battle of the century, sirens suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked back and found that the police were rushing towards them.

The crowd immediately dispersed and fled in all directions.

The expression on the face of Geldof, who had been so arrogant, immediately turned into panic.

He immediately looked around nervously.

Police cars have blocked the street.

Gwen saw the police coming and was not going to stay here.

Let's leave these guys to the police.

Just as she was about to shoot out the spider silk and leave, Geldof suddenly grabbed her sleeve.

"Um. Take me away?"

"what?"

Gwen looked at the guy with an anxious and helpless face. Is this still the arrogant guy just now?
"I can't get caught. If I get caught, they'll send me back."

At this time, the police had already gotten out of the car and rushed over here.

The team was led by Gwen's old acquaintance, Detective DeWulf.

"Do you think I will help you? Goodbye, hot-blooded boy."

As Gwen said this, she prepared to shoot out spider silk to take herself away from here.

But just as she was pulled into the air, she found that the other party was holding her arm tightly and was also pulled up.

"Hey, what are you doing? Get off here, you idiot!"

Gwen cursed at the other person and pushed him.

After being pushed, Geldof fell from the air with a scream.

"idiot!"

Seeing that the other person was about to fall to death, Gwen had to shoot out spider silk to pull him back.

"Oh!"

Gwen fell onto the rooftop of a building, and Geldof was also thrown onto the rooftop by her and rolled along the ground.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Gwen asked the man who stood up, "Also, why did you blow up the car? I mean, why would you do something like that?" Geldof stood up, holding his head in pain from the fall, "Why did you do that? Because of what happened at the party, that despicable principal suspended half of the football team."

Gwen frowned and asked, "What party?"

"It was the rock party, I had a little too much to drink, you know, I was just having some fun with the cars that were parked there, you know, just to make people laugh, you know."

Geldof explained: "The principal found a list of people who went to the party and suspended half of the team because of this. We were about to make the finals. I was very angry and told him that I would protest if the suspension was not lifted, so I blew up his car."

"Forehead"

After hearing what the other party said, Gwen's mind was a little confused.

Although the other party did something that he wanted to do but didn't dare to do, this kind of thing is basically illegal.

"But I was confused and it was another teacher's car that I blew up because she called my name and I was a little distracted," Geldof continued.

Gwen complained speechlessly: "I really can't think of a word better than 'idiot' to describe you."

"listen"

Gwen pinched her waist and decided to teach this idiot a lesson.

"You have very magical abilities, but do you think the best use of your abilities is to blow up the principal's car and show off to others?"

Geldof didn't say anything, but narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "It's windy here."

"what?"

"Have you ever been to our school?"

"No."

"What does your face look like under the mask? Do you mind if I see it?"

"Of course I mind, if you do I swear I'll throw you down like bread."

"Who's more powerful, you or Spider-Man?"

"I'm not as good as him, but I can punish him in some ways, and he can only listen to me obediently."

"What's your superpower?"

"I have some spider powers, like being able to lift things that are much heavier than myself."

The more Gwen talked, the more she felt something was wrong. Why was this guy checking her household registration?

Geldof didn't notice her strangeness and said to himself, "Cool, this is my ability."

He snapped his fingers and a ball of energy appeared on his hand. "If I look at something, I can make it explode."

"Just need a look?"

"Yeah, focus, like this."

As he said this, he looked at the wooden barrel in the corner of the rooftop. With a "bang", the barrel exploded instantly.

"How did you gain this ability? You're a mutant, right?"

When Geldof heard Gwen say that she was a mutant, he immediately refused to accept it, "I am not a mutant, mutants are all children of the devil!"

"Okay, so what's with your accent? Where are you from?"

"I'm an orphan. I was born in Latvia and I was adopted by an American family two years ago."

Geldof said in a depressed tone: "My adoptive parents also think I am a mutant. I told them that I am not, but I can see fear in their eyes."

Gwen nodded, "You think differently than I do. Maybe you can use your super powers to help some people."

Just as she was about to continue persuading the other party, she suddenly heard the roar of an engine.

"Hey, do you mind if we take up two minutes of your time?"

A voice came from above their heads.

Gwen looked up and found a strangely shaped plane above her head.

Two heroic women wearing yellow and black uniforms with the letter "X" on their chests stood on the edge of the rooftop.

The woman with white hair said: "We want to talk to you. We are the X-Men."

Another woman with burgundy hair said, "I'm Jean Grey, nice to meet you."

Gwen looked at Geldof who was also stunned. You still say you are not a mutant? !
"Is he a mutant?"

At the police station, DeWulf pressed hard on her aching forehead.

The recent car explosion gave her a headache.

She would rather deal with swarms of Spider-Men than deal with students.

"According to our investigation, he is a mutant from Latonia and is now adopted by an American family."

DeWulf nodded. "Contact his family and the principal. They should have more experience than us in dealing with rebellious students like this."

"correct."

She suddenly remembered something, "The man who was found dead near Sunset Park before was also a mutant, right?"

The victim she was talking about who was killed near Sunset Park was the man who was stabbed on the rainy night that Gwen and Rogue met.

Gwen also fights a mysterious being that turns into Peter.

The reason why DeWulf believed that the other party was also a mutant was because the forensic doctor dissected his body.

"We're not sure yet."

"But we found a passport from him," said the investigating police officer.

The police officer handed her the passport and said, "He entered from Europe."

"Jason Williams."

DeWulf frowned as she read the name on the passport. "I guess this must be a fake name."

"Yes, we investigated the name and found that it was indeed a forged identity of someone else. In addition, we found an invitation letter."

As the police officer said this, he took out a strangely shaped invitation.

DeWulf picked up the invitation in confusion, and the words on it caught her eye.

"We mourn the death of our patriarch Ulysses Bloodstone, but death is just another form of life. His spirit will not be cut off. While inviting you to attend the funeral, we also sincerely invite you to participate in a hunting ceremony."

"Hunting ritual? Ulysses Bloodstone?"

DeWulf quickly extracted a few key words.

"Who is this Ulysses Bloodstone?"

“We didn’t find out.”

DeWulf put down the invitation and frowned.

It seems that this dead guy is not simple!

at the same time.

In a dark room, Russell turned on the desk lamp.

The darkness of the night was somewhat dispelled by the lights.

The dark werewolf who had not been seen for a long time and was once hurt by the alien queen sat at the desk and opened a thick book.

The book was written in Latin and the first page was an illustration.

The illustration depicts two sea monsters and is supplemented by a text explanation.

He continued to turn the pages, and the second page depicted the image of Bigfoot.

All the creatures depicted in the books are dark.

This was a gift to him from the Bloodstone Family. All the dark creatures here were hunted by the Bloodstone Family.

Shaking his head, he closed the book and pulled out an invitation letter from it.

If DeWulf knew, she would definitely notice that it was exactly the same as the invitation she found.

"Mutant?"

He opened the invitation and whispered to himself.

He was also one of the invited candidates.

More than ten days ago, he received this invitation letter, being invited to attend the funeral of Ulysses Bloodstone.

By the way, take part in a special hunting ceremony.

As a well-known demon hunter, Ulysses has killed many dark creatures, and is not inferior to Blade and Vampire.

Of course, as a well-known person, Vampire Princess was also sent such an invitation letter.

However, she was busy fighting against the Inheritors with a group of Spider-Men at the time, so she didn't take the invitation seriously.

After receiving the invitation, Russell rushed to the Bloodstone family's estate in the UK.

Other demon hunters who hunt dark creatures also accepted the invitation.

When Russell arrived in England, he discovered that there was a mutant among the demon hunters.

After all the demon hunters gathered, the Bloodstone Family announced that they would hold a hunting ceremony. Whoever could kill an unprecedented dark creature would obtain the Bloodstone.

The so-called "bloodstone" is a piece of chicken blood stone with strange powers.

Ulysses Bloodstone, the patriarch of the Bloodstone family, acquired a bloodstone many years ago that the user can use to attack enemies, and it can also extend the user's lifespan.

Moreover, bloodstone has a strong inhibitory effect on dark creatures.

There were some accidents during the hunting process, and in the end no one killed the monster.

The bloodstone was later stolen by the mutant.

Standing up, he looked out into the dark night.

The people of the Bloodstone Family will never let it go after losing the Bloodstone.

The mutants stole the bloodstone, so naturally they were unwilling to hand it over.

Will this turn into a fight between the two groups?

At this time, Jack Russell didn't know that the mutant who stole the bloodstone in his mouth had died.
