Chapter 63 What's the point of saving the world? I just want to drink soda
Hearing a dull sound coming from a distance, Gwen raised her head and looked towards Peter.

"That seems to be it."

Gwen blinked and said puzzledly, "That sounded like an explosion."

"Ah."

Peter nodded and walked over to the window, Gwen quickly following.

Peter's sight passed through the tall buildings in the city and projected out.

At the end of the sight, smoke could be vaguely seen rising from a building.

There seemed to be an explosion there.

"Was it an accident?"

Gwen guessed that it might be an explosion in the chemical industry area.

"I don't know, but the news should be reported soon."

Peter turned his gaze and spoke in a casual tone.

"Well, I hope no one gets hurt."

Gwen exhaled and tried to continue her previous conversation with Peter, but suddenly she didn't know what to say.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she accidentally discovered a Melaleucalyptus vending machine in the corner of the corridor.

As she walked towards the vending machine, she asked Peter, "I'm a little thirsty, do you want something to drink?"

"No, I'm not thirsty, Gwen."

Peter was a little surprised at Gwen's calmness at this moment.

Generally speaking, isn't Spider-Man supposed to take action when something unexpected happens in New York City?

At this time, Gwen had an expression that said "I just want to drink soda."

"I remember there was a very expensive Mountain Dew soda here."

Gwen put her head against the vending machine, trying to see the brand of soda inside.

Soon she looked up and inserted a twenty dollar bill.

After buying herself a bottle of root beer, she bought a bottle of Mountain Dew.

"Last time you treated me to root beer, this time I'll treat you to Mountain Dew."

Gwen walked over to Peter and gave him the soda with a sly smile.

After a moment's hesitation, Peter took the soda bottle.

"I have to say I'm a bit lucky today."

Gwen suddenly talked about her luck.

"why?"

"Because I found a dollar today."

Gwen shared her good fortune with Peter, "I just found a dollar under the vending machine."

Unfortunately, Gwen was too happy too early and took out the dollar in her hand.

But I found out that it was just a Christian flyer designed to look like a dollar bill, which was very eye-catching.

Printed on the leaflet is a short story advising young people to shoulder their family and social responsibilities.

Gwen, who was deceived, became furious and crumpled the flyer into a ball angrily.

When she was about to throw it away, she looked up and saw an ugly, skinny man wearing a neat black suit.

"Good morning, miss."

The man in the black suit took the initiative to greet Gwen, "Excuse me, is this Sheriff George Stacy's ward?"

Gwen looked at him suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"I'm Agent Frank Gallo, with the FBI."

The man took the initiative to show Gwen his ID.

Gwen's doubts were dispelled after seeing the other party's ID.

After the man claiming to be an FBI agent entered the ward, Gwen turned her gaze to Peter.

"Where were we, Peter?"

"You said you were lucky."

"Okay, I guess I made a mistake."

Gwen looked a little frustrated.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed about the fact that she wanted to pick up a dollar but was teased. "I think I should open my eyes more carefully next time."

Gwen does some self-examination.

"indeed."

Peter put the soda bottle in his hand on the windowsill, looked inside the window, and said to Gwen:
"Like just now, Gwen, you didn't realize that the guy who claimed to be an FBI agent was lying."

"what?!"

Gwen was stunned when she heard Peter say this.

"He he is lying?"

Peter nodded and said to Gwen, "When people lie, they will blink unconsciously, or look up or to the right to mobilize the part of the brain responsible for creative thinking. Pupil contraction and eyelid movement are all signs of guilty conscience."

After being parasitized by the alien, his sensory world as a predator has been continuously strengthened.

From his predator's perspective, he could see that most prey reacted with head twitches or sudden eye movements when they told a lie.

He caught all the subtle reactions of the guy in the black suit just now.

When Gwen heard Peter say this, she panicked.

Thinking that her father in the ward might be in danger, she kicked the door open as quickly as possible.

With a loud bang, George, who was talking in the ward, and the man in the black suit were both stunned.

Before George Stacy could react, Gwen yelled at her father, "Dad, he's not from the FBI!"

Realizing that his identity had been exposed, the man in the black suit no longer concealed himself and immediately pulled out a pistol from his pocket.

"Don't move!"

The man in the suit raised his gun and pointed it at the three men, threatening them loudly.

Seeing her father and Peter in danger, Gwen did not hesitate and stood in front of Peter the next second.

The man in the suit did not pull the trigger immediately. When he was about to say something, he suddenly felt that he had lost his balance.

The plastic carpet under his feet was suddenly twitched by someone.

He staggered and lost his balance.

Gwen immediately rushed forward, and with his nimble body, he kicked the opponent's pistol away, and then took advantage of the opponent's inability to fight back and punched him hard.

With a "bang", the man in the suit fell heavily to the ground.

The criminal was subdued quickly without any accidents, and Gwen breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around and found that Peter and her father were looking at her strangely.

Oops!

I think I went a little too far just now.

Gwen realized that her behavior just now might not be consistent with her usual personality, and she thought to herself that something was wrong.

The next second, Gwen raised her fist to attack the man in the suit, pretending to be in great pain.

unfortunately
In Peter's eyes, her acting was a bit poor.

Ten minutes later, the police arrived and handcuffed the guy pretending to be a federal agent.

After a brief interrogation, it was confirmed that the other party was a gang member from Hell's Kitchen.

The reason he pretended to be a federal agent was that his gang had been in trouble with the New York Police Department recently. After learning that George Stacy was here, he came over to threaten him.

As a result, he was unlucky enough to be suppressed by Gwen as soon as he entered the door.

Hell's Kitchen?

When Gwen heard the name, she thought of what happened last night.

Matt Murdock's employer is Kingpin.

That guy named Kingpin is said to be the biggest gangster in Hell's Kitchen.

As a superhero, I plan to protect this city, and I can start with this guy called Kingpin.

After half an hour.

Everyone had left, leaving only Gwen and George Stacy in the ward.

George was very upset about one thing - when the gangster raised his gun just now, between himself and Peter, his daughter chose to block the gun for Peter.

He had a feeling that girls were no longer suitable to be kept when they grew up.

"Gwen, we have to talk."
