Chapter 2608 Mayfly World (VIII)
"Have you talked to Nick about this?" Schiller asked.
"He will definitely not agree and will scold me." Peter looked at Schiller expectantly and said, "So can you go and ask for me, doctor?"
I knew this guy had bad intentions, Schiller thought, and it turned out he was waiting for him here.
"I'll discuss it with Nick, but you'd better not get your hopes up. He hates this sacrificial mentality, as if everything he has no use for should be donated. This can easily develop into a pathological mentality."
"I know, but I won't." Peter began to chant the sutras. He said, "I heard that there was a Spider-Man who gave his abilities to someone else by accident. The other person is doing well now, and then he can do other things..."
"He has nothing else to do." Schiller interrupted Peter. He knew that Peter was referring to the Spider-Man who gave his abilities to Bruce of Earth-1. Now this Spider-Man was serving as his son. Since the Nameless Mist had not been active for a long time, Spider-Man was now bored.
It is also because Spider-Man knows that he will be scolded once he sees Nick, so he would never come to this universe, and currently stays on the fused earth to do scientific research.
"Rather than whether to do it or not, it's more worthy to study how to do it." Schiller suggested, "If you can find a way to transfer your abilities without hurting yourself at all, either physically or psychologically, then maybe I can still convince Nick. But if you want to talk about methods like escaping death, I can only tell you that it's absolutely impossible. Nick will never agree to it."
Peter immediately frowned and said, "Before, I wanted to upload my soul to the server to check whether this ability is attached to the soul or the body..."
Eddie took a breath and said, "What do you think of your soul? Are you kidding? No, I'm going to give it to Nick..."
"Please, Eddie! Don't tip off! I didn't really do it."
"But your idea is too dangerous." Eddie said seriously.
"But if my existence remains unchanged and there is one more Spider-Man in the world, then the two of us can work together to make the world a better place." Peter's tone was full of expectation. He said, "This is the perfect way to utilize resources, instead of wasting such a powerful ability like now."
"Okay, Peter, you have to promise me first that you won't try it rashly. Then I can try to persuade Nick to find a feasible method from the perspective of the Spider Totem, but you are not allowed to do it yourself."
"Don't worry, doctor, I'm not that stupid."
They finished everything quickly. The coffee table was a mess, with barbecue skewers, beer bottles and cups scattered on the table. The game was almost over.
The drinkers were a little drunk. Eddie helped Schiller upstairs to sleep. Barry volunteered to clear the table, but it was already very late at night and he was so sleepy that he yawned all the time.
Peter told him to go back to bed. He didn't drink much and was not drunk at all. He was going to put away the skewers and put the plates in the dishwasher and leave it to tomorrow.
He wanted to find something to wrap the stick, so he picked up a piece of newspaper next to him and looked at the date. He found that it was expired, so he spread the newspaper flat on the table.
As soon as he spread out the newspaper, a piece of news caught his attention. It was not a big news either, but there were signs of cabinets being rummaged in the women's shower room at a nearby community college. However, everyone checked various surveillance cameras and found no trace of the thief.
Peter stared at the news and fell into deep thought. Brooklyn is after all an old part of New York. The community college facilities here are quite complete and the surveillance cameras are all high-definition. It is impossible not to capture strangers coming in and out.
Therefore, the report speculated that it might be an internal problem, and that the cleaner accidentally turned over the cabinet while cleaning.
Peter flipped through the articles and read on. What followed was some news about a community football match. There was nothing interesting to pay attention to, but suddenly Peter discovered that in an interview, the members of the women's football team said that their dormitory seemed to be haunted and things were often lost.
Then, we read on to a story about a missing store. Again, the camera didn’t capture anything, but a lot of new motorcycle parts were lost.
The most terrifying one was the last report, which said that a gun store was robbed and three pistols and a bunch of bullets were stolen, but the dense surveillance cameras still didn't capture anything.
There was a picture placed below the report, which looked very scary because there was a pistol floating upright above the counter, as if it was supported by something.
The explanation given in the report was that there was a problem with the magnetic field of the nearby circuit, which caused the metal parts to float abnormally. However, judging from the floating posture of the pistol, it was obvious that someone was holding it. The electric magnetic field does not extend to hands, so how could someone make a shooting posture?
The more Peter looked at it, the more he frowned. The more he felt something was wrong. These cases of harassment and missing items could not be coincidences. Especially the last picture showed that it was not a problem of circuit magnetic field, but an invisible thief.
At first, this thief just went to the women's bathhouse and the girls' dormitory to act like a hooligan, then started stealing property, and in the end he even started stealing guns. What did he want to do?
Of course, the first person Peter thought of was the guy he met during the day. Dr. Schiller said that it was probably not an accident that this invisible weirdo blocked him here. He might have been targeting him for a long time.
Now he has a gun and bullets in his hand, and he is a bad guy who has gained the ability to become invisible and actually ran to the women's bathhouse first. What does he want to do to himself?
Peter thought about it and felt that something was wrong. If it were an ordinary Spider-Man, he would have run out to cause trouble for this guy long ago, but Peter is not that kind of person. He found all the recent newspapers, spread them on the ground, and began looking for clues.
He easily found news of gang activities on Witte Street, followed by missing persons cases, kidnapping and extortion cases, and even a murder case that occurred two blocks away from Witte Street.
Peter picked up the newspaper and looked carefully at the face of the dead man in the newspaper, and found that it was an old acquaintance, Bullseye under Kingpin.
The last time Peter saw him was when he sent him to jail himself. At that time, he had just debuted for a short time and Bullseye was a big trouble for him. Fortunately, with the guidance of Captain America, Iron Man and Dr. Schiller, he caught him and sent him to jail.
Bullseye committed many crimes, and Kingpin was very unhappy that he was caught by a young man who had just debuted, so he neither paid bail nor hired a lawyer for him. Bullseye was immediately imprisoned and should have been released not long ago.
Peter took out the map and looked at the place where Bullseye died. That was also the original range of Kingpin's activities. Kingpin is indeed cleansed now, but this place is not far from his palace. It can be said to be the center of his base camp. His old subordinate died here, which is an extremely serious provocation to Kingpin.
Jin Bing has never given up his influence on the underworld because he knows that this will make his business easier. Various forces have turned a blind eye to this because they all understand that there is no power vacuum in this world. If Jin Bing lets go, someone else will take over. It is better to let Jin Bing do it, at least he is smart enough.
The group was planning to go out for a walk late at night. Schiller woke up after a short nap, but Peter said he was a little tired and would not go out tonight, so the group had a good sleep tonight.
The next morning, Eddie looked through his text message box and mailbox, but didn't see anyone mentioning Sandman Baker, so he urgently printed a periodical to look for him.
I didn't expect that someone would come to my door within two hours after the newspaper was sent out.
"Uh, hello, is this the Bullock Newspaper Office?"
A fairly well-dressed lady stood at the door and asked. Eddie immediately stood up to greet her and said, "Hello, I'm Brock. What can I do for you?"
"You can call me Casada. I am the Baker's neighbor. I mean my whole family, my husband and my two children, we live next door to the Baker's."
"Oh my goodness, ma'am, you've arrived just in time, please come in."
Peter went to make coffee, Barry went to get cups, and Eddie guided Ms. Casada to sit on the couch.
"Baker is missing, right? God, I should have told him about those sneaky guys..."
The lady looked anxious, and Eddie had to comfort her quickly. From the lady he learned that the Casada family were Baker's best friends.
At that time, Baker had not yet found so many good jobs with his special abilities, and the woman's husband did not have a new job either. They all lived in a cheap community and had a hard time.
After all, the Casada family had two working people. Both Casada and his wife worked outside. Their income was not much but relatively stable. Baker was the most frustrated at that time and often had no food to eat.
At that time, the kind-hearted Mrs. Casada often cooked an extra meal for him. One day, Baker saw Mrs. Casada's little daughter being bullied on the street near the school, so he rushed over and beat up the gang of thugs. From then on, the two families became friends.
Later, Baker acquired mutations. He felt that he was a monster and would be arrested by law enforcement sooner or later. He was afraid of implicating his neighbors, so he wanted to move.
But by accident, he was targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick was optimistic about his abilities, so he sent someone to contact him and recruited him into the solar system development plan.
It was still very early at that time and the whole plan had not been implemented. The jobs were all high-risk positions with very generous salaries. Sha Ren was originally a barefoot scoundrel who didn't mind anything, so he thought he might as well give it a try. At least if he died he would get a large pension, which he could leave to the Casada family to solve the problem of their children's schooling. So he went.
He earned some money and wanted to buy a house, but didn't want to leave his neighborhood. However, later the Casada husband found a job at the shuttle space station with a salary increase, and the children were old enough to go to middle school and needed to find a good school, so they also planned to move.
But the family spent a lot of money and could not save much, not enough to buy a house in a good school district. Baker was a man who could feed the whole family and was very loyal, so he borrowed a large sum of money from the Casada family, and the two of them bought two adjacent houses in their current community.
Ms. Casada burst into tears when she spoke of this. She made the sign of the cross on her chest and said, "Every day when he is working in heaven, my husband, my children and I pray for him on earth. I know he sometimes has a bad temper, but he is a good man. If something happens to him, we don't know what to do..."
"Okay, ma'am, don't rush." Schiller handed the coffee to Kasarda and said, "Mr. Baker has quite powerful abilities, so it's very likely that he is just trapped. After all, who can kill a ball of sand?"
Casada thought about it and realized that it was true, but she still pulled Schiller's sleeve and said, "You must help him. He has already reserved a place in the third batch of technical personnel of the Star Core Space Station. Once he is transferred there, he will be the technical supervisor. He has a bright future. We must not let anything happen to him at this time..."
Schiller and Eddie looked at each other and suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
