The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the dark night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the wooden window lattice under the moonlight reflects the cold light. A middle-aged man wearing glasses sits in front of the window and reads a press release, holding a phone in one hand. Said over there.

Don't worry, the New York Times is not one of those little-known tabloids. Our online media has a strong enough influence. Since its launch, the number of subscribers has exceeded 2 million, which is the largest number of subscribers on the official accounts of traditional media. The radiation area is as high as two dozen states.

In the next issue of the newsletter, we have arranged for two political commentators to have a debate on the topic of 'how ordinary people can protect themselves in an environment full of superheroes'.

One of the critics will lash out at the anti-gun faction, while suggesting that guns are for ordinary people, and that people have to have more firepower to survive superheroes, while criticizing that candidate as an injustice. The one-sided force restriction faction responsible for the safety of the people...

But I think the conflict between ordinary people and superheroes can be further intensified. After all, if everyone shoots when they see a superhero, the bullets will sell better.

By the way, there are also those food preservative sellers who advocate doomsday theory. If we can get in touch with them, we can also launch an issue on how ordinary people can build strongholds if superheroes occupy the world with hegemony... ...

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly found that the draft paper on his desk flashed red,

He was startled, his hands shook, the phone fell to the ground, and when he turned his head, he saw a portal with a red light shining.

A black shadow walked out of the portal, raised the gun, shot, shot in the head, turned around and walked back to the portal, the whole process was done in one go without leaving any traces.

On the other side of the portal is the spacious and bright Spider Legion hall, and a dumbfounded Spider-Man standing beside him.

You just killed him like this?! Shadow Spider-Man, this is too...too... Spider-Man waved his hand in the air for a long time, as if he didn't know how to describe it.

Go find your Stark, don't follow me. Shadow Spiderman waved his hand impatiently and said: Or you can go to the airport to watch the plane take off, you should like that.

How do you know... I mean, Mr. Stark followed Eddie and left, saying that he was going to make some documentary. I saw that you have been summoning the portal here, so I came here to have a look, you...you... ...

Don't hinder me from carrying out the mission. Shadow Spider-Man walked past him, glanced at the list in his hand, opened a portal again and walked in, and after a while, he brought a suit of clothes with him. The smell of blood is back.

And George, who hurried to the police station that night, discovered that eight murders with almost identical modus operandi were before him, and each dead person was more important than the last.

The victims in the first three cases were all media workers. Although they had certain social prestige, they were not considered important figures. The next three cases were from the military, and the last two were even more important. One of them One is a congressman, and the other is the New York state district president of the energy giant Roxon Corporation.

This was a complete blowout. The New York Police Department answered at least a thousand calls within six hours. Everyone was asking who did it, but George couldn't answer that they were Spider-Man's ghosts.

In all fairness, George doesn't hate Spider-Man, but this attitude is also because apart from the troubles caused by the immature little spider in the early days of his debut, the Spider-Man in this universe has been a street hero for a short time, and he hasn't waited for a long time. The crime fighters on Main Street were arrested and sent to work in the lab.

Therefore, the conflict between him and George has not intensified to be irreconcilable. The reason why George treats him worse than other superheroes is that Spiderman looks younger at first glance. George thinks he has set a bad example for other young people. Also includes his daughter.

Speaking from his conscience, George felt a little sorry for the passing of the first generation of Spider-Man. Thinking that he might be a young man about the same age as his daughter, and thinking that there might be relatives waiting for him to go home, but he But he could never go back, and George sighed for this tragedy like everyone else.

But after death, Spider-Man did not receive heroic treatment, and the reputation of his successor was even worse. For a long time, Spider-Man became hypocritical, exaggerated and artificial. synonymous with , almost catching up with the street rats.

George sometimes wonders whether Spider-Man never stood up to clarify and argue because of a guilty conscience, but it is also possible that he is accumulating strength and implementing the final verdict.

According to George's experience in handling cases, it is possible for one or two murders with the same method to leave no traces, but now there are ten murders in total, the scene of the crime is exactly the same, and there are no traces. How can this be possible? Don't let him think of mystical reasons?

As the chief of the New York Police Department, George has a certain understanding of the occult world, because some mages caused some troubles because they didn't understand the rules of ordinary people's society. He also saw the magic of magic when he went to deal with it.

So after this incident, George also considered Jameson's statement, so he contacted the New York Temple as soon as possible, but the strange thing is that the New York Temple, which was responsive in the past, did not reply this time. , which made George even more strange.

He didn't know that the temples all over the world were busy looking for their long-lost supreme mage without saying goodbye. He only felt that the temple's attitude was ambiguous, and there might be some secrets in it.

With this in mind, George proceeded with the investigation step by step. After being the chief of police for so many years, he also knew that in the face of tremendous pressure, all police officers must be mobilized and act like everyone has something to do. As for being accused.

However, George himself did not follow most of the police officers to investigate various crime scenes, or to face the questioning of energy giants, but came to the Bugle Daily alone.

A few months ago, the Daily Bugle had ceased publication, so now the newspaper office was empty, with no employees working here. George easily entered the building of the Daily Bugle and successfully found Jameson's office.

He knew how cautious Jameson was about Spider-Man, so he didn't look at the exposed file cabinets at all, but went directly to the file room next to the editor's office to find the locked file cabinets, and skillfully Use a gun to pick the lock.

It didn't take long for George to find the evidence about Spider-Man that Huji had provided him that Jameson had mentioned in a locked filing cabinet.

Evidence includes backup recordings of underground boxing ring attendants, clues in the sewers, and information about Spider-Man's whereabouts that Jameson did not mention.

After looking through these materials, George found that most of the information recorded in it was located in Hell's Kitchen, where a generation of Spider-Man made his debut early. Based on this, George guessed that Hu Ji and the organization behind him should have a presence in Hell's Kitchen. a stronghold.

George put the obtained information on the table for a quick comparison. Through the range revealed by the whereabouts information, George determined the approximate range of the stronghold, and then he drove to the target street.

When the cold wind passed through the street in late autumn, George looked down at the documents in his hand. The fragile paper made a crashing sound under the strong wind. Schiller turned a page of the notebook in his hand, and he pointed to the document on it. said a message.

After Hu Ji's death, investigators will definitely find that behind him there is an organization dedicated to smearing Spider-Man. This organization is quite professional, and every clue about Spider-Man is quite detailed and reliable.

The people I sent to do the work will not leave any clues, so the investigators can only focus on the organization behind Hu Ji. I deliberately disclosed some whereabouts information, and professionals can completely collect information on the whereabouts. Determine the approximate location of the stronghold—A32C, Harinder Street, Hell's Kitchen, which is a small house two streets away from my clinic.

I laid out some clues there in advance. Investigators will soon find out that this is Hydra's handwriting, and it also involves the energy giant Roxon. Roxon has been funding S.H.I.E.L.D. The Hydra in the Bureau is connected.

Roxon cannot compete with the Stark Group in the field of heavy munitions, so their business focus turned to the field of civilian munitions a few years ago.

About a year ago, they contacted the Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D. and asked them to investigate the traces of superheroes in New York. The main purpose was to dig out their black materials, and then buy the media and write articles. People, distort or falsify the evidence and release it.

This is to create an atmosphere where superheroes may go crazy and hurt ordinary people at any time, so that ordinary people have to buy weapons to protect themselves, so as to combat gun bans and increase the sales of civilian arms.

But I understand that Hydra agents are already very busy, and I happen to know Spider-Man very well, especially Spider-Man in the early days of his debut, so I simply provided them with some evidence, such as Spider-Man often haunts various illegal place, and also played black boxing and the like.

Investigators will just find evidence that Roxon contacted Hydra to dig up superhero black material in that room. No matter what the attitude of the investigators is, the evidence will eventually be released after a few handovers, and the public will find out who is behind the scenes. Fool them, and the superhero threat theory will collapse on its own.

More importantly, the focus of Roxon's business is civilian use. Once it gets caught in a storm of public opinion, it must find a way to restore the brand image. If Hydra is unreliable, they can only rely on S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. Funding for a new superhero team system...

Schiller smiled and said: Once the truth of Spider-Man's serious malicious smear spreads, people will inevitably re-examine this young superhero.

And if George had been prejudiced against Spider-Man because of public opinion, then as a person, when Spider-Man revealed his identity to him, his first reaction would not be anger, but guilt. Peter's question It also worked out.”

In the hut in Hell's Kitchen, George put aside the shocking secrets about Hydra and Roxon Corporation, and was stunned holding a report on the appearance and disappearance of Spider-Man dug out in the corner.

The whereabouts information is very detailed, complete and smooth, which can completely refute the outrageous claims in some news that Spider-Man gambles at certain times or slaughters stray dogs.

But what surprised George was, the time period when Spider-Man disappeared in Hell's Kitchen, excluding possible rest or school time, how could it be exactly the same time as his daughter Gwen said to go out to see the exhibition?

As a single father and a seasoned criminal policeman who has climbed to the top by his own ability, George knows the truth of sailing carefully. He knows how many people will target the only daughter of a police chief, so he asked Gwen must report to him no matter who he hangs out with, and make it clear when he will go out and go home.

Gwen is a very obedient child, and she does it every time, and she doesn't like going out to parties very much. The number of times she went out in the past two years is very small, and George clearly remembers every time she went out and returned home.

George doesn't believe in such a coincidence in this world. No matter how conservative his thinking is, he won't think that the timelines of a man and a woman disappearing from everyone's eyes just coincide, and they are simply interested in a certain exhibition.

He re-read the information in his hand and confirmed that this was the whereabouts information of a generation of Spider-Man when he first debuted, so Gwen and a generation of Spider-Man had a relationship? !

And when he came to this conclusion, George's first thought was, fortunately, a generation of Spider-Man is dead, otherwise how much danger would he bring to Gwen?

Wait, is he dead? Or, is he dead now?

In an instant, George broke out in a cold sweat. Jameson's words kept echoing in his ears. He had no time to think, and instinctively rushed out of the house, got into the car and returned home as quickly as possible.

With a bang, George opened the door, rushed in, looked at Gwen who was making a cake in front of the island, and asked.

Have you ever dated Spider-Man?!

Gwen was stunned. She knew her father very well. If George asked this question, he must have evidence. After the initial shock, Gwen turned her head away and said nothing.

She was already waiting for George to get angry, but unexpectedly, George rushed up in a panic, grabbed her arm, and said, Quick, Gwen, you have to leave New York!

George is not sure whether the mysterious killer is Spider-Man's wronged soul, but even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility, he can't let Gwen take risks. Gwen is all his spiritual support. Nothing in this world can compare Gwen's safety is important.

Gwen was confused by his actions. She didn't understand, so she finally pushed George away, looked at him and said, Dad, what's the matter with you? Why did I leave New York? Tomorrow is your birthday, I I have to celebrate my birthday with you.

Seeing the sincere expression on his daughter's face, George sighed helplessly and said.

Do you understand, Gwen, a generation of Spider-Man is dead, but now he may be back!

George actually refers to the fact that a generation of Spider-Man may come back from the dead and become a ghost, but Gwen misunderstood it. She thought that George could find out that she and Spider-Man were in a relationship, because he already knew that Spider-Man was Peter, but still Not sure if one and three generations of Spider-Man is a one person thing.

Anyway, the love affair has been exposed, and there is no point in keeping it a secret, so Gwen nodded and said, Yes, of course he is back. Didn't you meet Peter a few days ago?

George was stunned, his thoughts were like lightning, he looked at Gwen and said, Peter? You mean, Peter Parker is Spider-Man?!

Gwen nodded, bowed her head guiltily and said, We didn't mean to hide it from you, but Peter has some social barriers, and you know he's not very good at talking, so I really don't know how to explain it to you...

So your current boyfriend is also Spider-Man? You dated two Spider-Mans?! God, what's so good about him?! George held his forehead as if he was about to faint.

Gwen stood there and lowered her head like a child who made a mistake, but what was waiting was not the imaginary scolding. George just said a little anxiously: What are you still standing here for? Go and call Peter and let He's back!

Uh... do you want to scold him in person?

I thank him! If it wasn't Spider-Man, how could he protect you from another Spider-Man?! Go get him back, and you'd better be together 24/7 for the next two months, don't Give that innocent killer a chance!

George looked around and said, No, no, it's too outrageous to live together before marriage...how about you get married first?

ah?

Schiller: Huh?
