Chapter 72 Something is Wrong with Gwen
"That makes some sense, but humans are probably different from birds."
Gwen hesitated for a moment and said, "But this society is indeed very complicated. It's so complicated that sometimes I can't tell the difference."
She thought for a moment and said to Peter, "For example, Josh was killed by Frank and then wrapped in a spider's nest. There is no doubt that he is a bad guy. Many people think so. This is something you and I know."
"But what I saw at the memorial service was that his neighbors and friends thought he was a really good person."
"His parents said that he had decided to play professional football after graduating from college. He planned to pursue an English degree in college. He loved writing poetry. Six months before his death, a poem he wrote was published in the famous 'little magazine' Everly."
"Well, although I have some doubts about his ability to get into college, I have to say that he is very idealistic and seems to have a plan for his life."
What Gwen said were all what she heard from others at the memorial service. Although it was a little unbelievable, it should not be false.
Gwen's eyes revealed confusion. "But at school, he bullies his classmates, and he does it recklessly. He also beats you up. Sometimes I want to punch him in the face. So, is he a good person?"
"If a superhero can't distinguish between justice and evil, good guys and bad guys, it may lead to serious consequences."
Gwen is in a bit of a bad mood right now.
What would I do if I couldn’t tell the difference between right and wrong when I thought about fighting as Spider-Woman’s superhero identity in the future?
Will I do something I will regret deeply?
"I think what you said makes a lot of sense, Peter."
Gwen looked up and said to Peter with burning eyes: "I need to understand more about the cruelty of this society, otherwise I won't know what is wrong and what is right."
"Then how do you understand the cruelty of society?"
Peter became interested in what Gwen had to say.
"I don't know yet, but maybe you can do it, Peter."
Gwen suddenly felt confident in Peter.
"Aren't you good at expressing cruel things in a normal tone? Maybe you can try to hit me."
Gwen overestimates her own abilities and wants Peter to let her see the cruelty of society.
Although this idea should be a bad one, Gwen still likes to hear Peter say cruel and depressing things like "The universe is a huge graveyard and we are all going to die eventually."
"should not."
After some thought, Peter finally did not say cruel words to Gwen.
He casually dealt with Gwen and said, "I am Spider-Man. Does this count for you?"
"Forehead"
Gwen was stunned for a moment, looking at Peter's serious eyes, and suddenly her heart began to beat.
Could it be that what Peter said is true?!
Being stared at like this by Peter, she suddenly felt uneasy.
"Not counting."
Gwen immediately shook this impossible thought out of her mind. She didn't believe what Peter said.
Also, if Peter is Spider-Man, it would be a real blow to himself.
Because there is no joy after my secret is revealed.
After coughing, Gwen pretended to be serious and said, "Because I am also Spider-Man, we are even."
In class, Peter was sitting at his desk, flipping through a book.
At the same time, I was thinking about what happened yesterday.
The new biology teacher is similar to Frank.
There is also a "beast" parasitic in her body? !
Looking up and casting his gaze at the sunlight cast outside, Peter fell into deep thought.
Or the other party is also a member of the Shuhehui.
After Frank's death, he "cleaned up" the Hand in New York, but found nothing.
This mysterious organization is either deeply hidden or simply headquartered in Japan and has no influence in New York.
According to the information he got from Matt, the Hand originated in feudal Japan several centuries ago. Some of its oppressed civilians fled to the Iga and Koga regions, where they secretly practiced skills, and later may have been influenced by Sun Tzu's Art of War, which eventually formed Ninjutsu.
For more than 100 years thereafter, these people continued to learn and train.
Most of its members are proficient in unarmed combat, swordsmanship, camouflage, escape, medicine, and blasting. They also possess willpower, endurance, and combat effectiveness that surpass ordinary people.
They are also experts in espionage and assassination, often offering their professional services to warlords or wealthy individuals.
They even possess powerful magical secrets that can bring the dead back to life.
In 1588, Keinobu Yoshioka began to lead the Hand and developed it into an international organization, becoming the infamous Japanese ninja killer group.
The "beast" they believe in can gain powerful strength by parasitizing in the body. The "beast" that Frank parasitized is a parasitic mutated spider.
Peter turned his eyes away from the sunlight and closed his textbook.
There is a high probability that Helen is also a member of the Hand.
The reason why she contacted herself was that she felt that she had the same aura as her and thought that she was of the same kind as her.
This should be related to my absorption of Frank.
But unfortunately, the entity inside his body is not a "beast", but a being called "alien".
Although both have the same goal of reproduction, the existence in one's body is more for killing rather than simple physiological impulses.
At this moment, his body was not as strange as before.
The physical impulse towards the opposite sex has also weakened a lot.
It seemed that only when he came into contact with this woman would the alien embryo in his body begin to behave abnormally.
"Jingle Bell!"
The ringing of the school bell interrupted his thoughts.
He was about to take out the book, but suddenly he realized: something was wrong in the school.
It's a familiar smell.
It was similar to the smell that Frank was giving off, but with a strange fragrance.
It smells like a hormone or something, more like the smell of volatile oil.
He looked around and found that something was wrong with everyone in the class.
Everyone seemed to be in a state of high spirits.
Even though class has started, these people have not stopped and are still making a lot of noise.
"What is this? Something that makes everyone fall for it?"
He looked towards Gwen and saw that she was also a little abnormal.
Gwen, with a flushed face, kept shifting in her seat, as if she was trying hard to endure something.
After a moment's hesitation, he stood up and walked towards Gwen.
"Are you okay, Gwen?"
He asked Gwen in a low voice.
Gwen raised her head, suddenly grabbed his hand, and looked at him with a slight tremor in her body.
"Peter, I...I don't seem to be feeling well."
Thank you "Void Heart" for the reward, and thank you Mina-san for voting and leaving a message.
