Marvel's Magnetic Field Turns

Chapter 69 Extra Episode 1: Spider-Man

Chapter 69 Extra Story [-]: Spider-Man

In the middle of the night, Harry Osborn suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He didn't have a nightmare, and the outside world didn't wake him up, but some inexplicable palpitations made him wake up immediately, as if someone was watching him by the bed, and his sixth sense made him feel uneasy.

Harry Osborn did not turn on the light hastily, but looked at his room through the moonlight shining into the room from the window, and in the direction of the window, he saw a person.

At first sight, the man who came to his room without a sound caused Harry Osborn's heart to stop suddenly, and his teeth were clenched tightly in fright, and he couldn't make a sound even if he wanted to call out.

At the second glance, Harry Osborn's heart resumed beating, and his tense body relaxed, because he was able to confirm the identity of that person.

The red and blue tights, the cobweb-like pattern, and the huge spider logo on the chest all belong to one person-the latest rise to fame, the self-proclaimed "everyone's good neighbor" Spider-Man.

Although he hates spiders very much, Harry still has considerable respect for this commoner hero: "Spider-Man, I...what can I do for you?"

"Harry, it's me."

Spider-Man took off his hood, revealing a young and handsome face, and the identity represented by this face was precisely known to Harry, that was clearly his classmate and good friend Peter Parker.

"Peter, how could it be you!"

Harry, who was in pajamas, immediately turned over from the bed, walked barefoot to the side of his friend, scratched his head and said in disbelief, "I mean, why is Spider-Man you?"

When he got closer, Harry realized that Peter Parker was in tears. The youth and self-confidence that had hung on his face had disappeared, replaced by a depression like the collapse of life beliefs.

Knowing the news that Spider-Man is his best friend, Harry, who was astonished and surprised, had all sorts of wonderful expressions on his face, but after noticing Peter's state, Harry's expression changed immediately, showing admiration for the hero. Turned into a concern for a friend: "Peter, what the hell happened to you?"

Peter Parker wiped away his tears and said, "Harry, you are my best friend, I need to talk to someone about something, can you?"

"Okay, we're best friends!" Harry thought for a while and said, "Do you need something to drink, coffee or something?"

Peter Parker said, "Thanks, Harry, that's enough if you're willing to hear what I have to say about myself."

"Harry, do you remember the science and technology exhibition that the school organized us to participate in, that is, the one that visited your company, Osborne Industries. That exhibition was the beginning of everything"

Harry nodded blankly, but after he started talking, Peter Parker was immersed in his own world and didn't pay attention to Harry's performance.Maybe it's really like what Peter said, he just needs a listener like a tree hole.

"I was taking pictures with an old camera that my uncle gave me when a spider suddenly fell from the ceiling and landed on my hand. I subconsciously wanted to take it away, but that behavior just made it Sensing danger, it took a bite on the back of my hand, and its poison entered my blood vessels along with the wound."

"Later, the staff came out and said that there was a leak of dangerous substances in the laboratory. In order to prevent accidents, all non-staff members had to leave the site. Affected by this, our visit was forced to terminate, and we went home without course arrangements. "

"The spider's venom quickly penetrated into my whole body with the blood circulation, which made me miserable, and my body temperature rose rapidly. After returning home, I almost fell asleep in a faint. When I woke up the next day, I I found that I was in better shape than ever before, with increased strength, agility, and ease from the top of one building to the top of another building. I was able to see the trajectory of a high-speed ball thrown by a baseball pitcher. The bristles under the skin climb rocks and walls. After a few days, I found a brand new organ appeared in my wrist, which synthesized protein to form a structure similar to spider silk. The organ, which I called the spider silk launcher, could follow my body The thoughts are launched through high voltage."

What an enviable superpower!

Harry murmured in his heart, but in his eyes, the pained look on Peter's face became heavier, and he began to choke up and sob again, as if the superhuman ability did not come from God, but the devil in hell curse.

"I'll get you a glass of water." Harry didn't know how to comfort his old friend at this time, so he used the excuse of pouring water for him to ease the atmosphere between the two.

Even though he thought he was the other party's friend, he actually realized just now that he didn't know much about Peter, such as the other party's mental journey as Spider-Man, his honor and responsibility.

Harry's inadvertent action caused Peter to react suddenly and exaggeratedly, just like an insect breaking into a spider's web caused the vibration of the spider's silk, and then aroused the predator lurking in the corner.

Peter, who jumped up to the side of Harry's bed and pushed him back, noticed his stress reaction, quickly took two steps back to distance himself from his friend, and said tremblingly, "I'm sorry, I... thank you very much... I , just listen to me...Harry, you just need to listen to me, I don't have much time, I hope you can listen to me!"

"OK!" Harry continued to lie back on the bed, quietly making a listening gesture.

However, his muscles were tense, and he was obviously in a state of high tension.

For Peter, who has a sense of spider, the change of his friend cannot escape his perception. Harry became like this because of himself and deepened his guilt, but he wiped away his tears and continued to tell his experience.

"After gaining this power, I didn't become Spider-Man, but relied on it to fight back against people who had been bullying me, and to fight black boxing to earn some extra money... Then after a match, I let a robber come from I walked by and he took Uncle Ben's life - I killed him."

For these two things, Harry can also be regarded as a participant to a certain extent. Peter played with Lightning Thompson who had been bullying him in school. It became active in New York after that.

But Harry never knew what was going on.

"Uncle Ben told me before he died that with great power comes great responsibility." Recalling the sad past, Peter covered his face and said, "I did as he said, became Spider-Man, and became everyone's best friend." Neighbor, hit the headlines of the Daily Bugle.”

"However, this is exactly the beginning of the tragedy."

"With the extensive use of abilities, especially spider silk, the protein in the body began to be consumed rapidly. I became hungry faster, and my appetite became larger. My dietary preference can provide more protein. However, the daily diet cannot supplement it at all. There is a limit to my consumption, the digestive function of human beings, even if I use energy blocks made of worms with six times the protein of beef as an energy source, it is far from enough, hunger has always been with me."

"But that's just my opinion, it's actually worse. The spider's venom fused with my genes didn't just give me spider-like abilities, it brought me one step closer to being a spider. A life of sleeping every night , the subconscious that belongs to the predator in my body will wake up, it is not a personality, it is more like an instinct."

"In a state of hunger, my instinct is to eat, first raw meat from the butcher shop, then live animals such as cats and dogs... and finally criminals. After finishing fighting crime as Spider-Man, my subconscious mind is still very good. The order issued by this brain is carried out, but instead of packing up criminals and throwing them at the police station gate, they wrap them into cocoons with spider silk, melt their muscles and internal organs, and then suck that strawberry milkshake-like thing.”

Listening to Peter's narration, Harry's face became more and more ugly. Hearing this, he finally couldn't help it, and retched with nausea.

But Peter, who revealed the truth, seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, and the speed of his speech began to speed up. He was just talking there alone, and no longer paid attention to Harry, the listener.

"Later, I found out that what I did was an accident. In a waking state, I chased criminals who were in a hurry and ran into an abandoned factory. In the largest factory building, I saw cocoons all over the floor. Because of air oxidation and dust, Those cocoons had turned gray-black, and I didn't recognize what they were, but when I opened them, I found that the cocoons were the remains of human or animal limbs that had dissolved—that is, clothing bones and indigestible hair."

Harry retched a few more times, then shivered as he wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.

"At that time, I didn't know that it was my achievement. After violently questioning some gang members, I learned from them the legend of the man-spider-it was a spider monster that escaped from the laboratory. Hiding in the shadows of the city, it comes out to hunt at night, usually people.

It is different from the eating habits of lions and tigers. It does not kill and eat its prey immediately after catching its prey, but takes it to its lair, injects venom into the prey, and watches the prey die in pain before eating. "

"After I learned about the man-spider, I have been tracking its whereabouts, but it was me in the first place, so how could I find it by myself—until just now."

"That is a powerful enemy, code-named Master of Imitation. His physical learning ability is very strong, and he defeats opponents by imitating the enemy's movements——Because of the double threats of Man-Spider and Spider-Man, gangsters dare not go out easily at night , So I collected some money to ask Master Mo to destroy us, at least one of us."

"Before the man-spider, the master of imitation found Spider-Man first. It was a very difficult battle, and I tried my best to imitate the master, until my silk shooter could no longer synthesize spider silk."

Speaking of this, Peter paused for a while, as if he was making some psychological preparations, but Harry, who was listening, didn't dare to breathe out at this moment, but the bed sheet under him was wet with cold sweat.

"The protein in my body was consumed to a dangerous level. The predator instinct in my body was awakened. It took control of my body and began to attack like a wild beast. The imitation master who had already been familiar with my attack routine was caught off guard. After two moves It was spread out on the ground, and the hungry predator did not let him go so easily, but injected venom into his body and watched him die in painful convulsions, and then ate the substance formed by the dissolution of his body .”

"However, this time I didn't fall into a coma or fall into a deep sleep. I watched how I treated the prey the whole time, and then I understood the origin of the legend of the man-spider, and also how the cocoon of the factory was produced."

Peter raised his head and looked at Harry with crying red eyes: "After eating the imitation master, the satiated predator continued to sleep, and I regained control of my body...Harry, you are my best friend……"

"Peter, what are you going to do next - find a scientific research institution to solve your problem, or turn yourself in." Even though the son of a rich man is well-informed, Harry couldn't think of a better suggestion at this time.

"I don't know." Peter shook his head and said, "I want to leave here, to leave New York... I am Spider-Man and Man-Spider, please don't tell Aunt May and Mary Jane."

"I understand."

Harry wanted to say something more, but Peter put on the mask again and resumed his Spider-Man posture, and jumped out of the window with a deftness that was not human-like, and disappeared into the night sky.

……

That night was the last time Harry saw Peter Parker. He never appeared in school again, and even the entire human society lost traces of this person's activities, and Spider-Man disappeared with him.

Harry has approached Peter's last relative, Aunt May, and Peter's girlfriend, Mary Jane. Neither of these two people who are most important to Peter has heard from him, and he has not said goodbye to them.

About Peter being Spider-Man, Harry didn't tell the two of them according to the agreement with Peter, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so.

In the days that followed, no matter how hard Harry searched for this friend, he still found nothing.

Whether Peter died as a hero in the end, or lingered on as a horrible man-eating monster, Harry had no idea.

Later, someone in Times Square wrote "Spider-Man is dead" with paint, and the mask belonging to Spider-Man was nailed to the ground next to it. Presumably, he should have died as a person, a respectable hero.

Harry went to the abandoned factory mentioned by Peter. It seemed to be a paradise for spiders, with cobwebs and huge cocoons everywhere. The corpses of the prey were almost swallowed up and there was no smell; there were top predators, Rats and insects who feel the invisible threat dare not approach here.

After anonymously telling the police station the address here, the police station subsequently sorted out hundreds of human bones, but there were not many missing cases related to them.After all, most of the humans among them were gang members, and these people died for unknown reasons at any time, and it was common for their bodies to disappear completely. Almost no one thought of reporting their disappearance.

……

"Dad, has the laboratory under the name of our company conducted research on spider genes?" One afternoon, Harry came to the office of his father, Norman Osborn, and asked this asked my father.

"You don't need to know these - before you master the Osborne Group, these are all business secrets for you." Norman Osborn, who looked older than his actual age, rejected his request indifferently son.

Harry, who hit a wall without accident, was not depressed. It would be abnormal if his father showed a kind look to him, and he needed to find another way to find the truth of the matter.

"Don't think about sneaking into the laboratory. Reality is not a movie. It is impossible to freely enter and exit confidential places with an ID card." Norman Osborn seemed to see through his son's mind, staring at Looking at his leaving back, he said something gloomy.

Harry paused, then left without looking back.

After his son left the building, Norman Osborn took out two reports from the safe in the office. One was the report of the genetic examination of the Osborne family. Fading rapidly and dying painfully after age, and he, Norman Osborn, had reached that dangerous age.

The second report is an experimental project, which puts forward an idea to "repair" genetic defects by cultivating specific organisms, and the carrier is a spider.The leaders of the experiment were a couple named Richard Parker and Mary Parker, and the first subject was added later, named "Peter Parker".

　Not enough penpower, so be it.
