Chapter 8: The Green Goblin
Golden lights fill the hall, and the glittering crystal chandeliers seem to rotate slowly under the influence of light and shadow. Brisk, soothing music swirls through the halls, and dignitaries from the military, dressed in medalled gowns, move around the bright halls, as well as some of the biggest names in New York City's political and business worlds.
Michael Paso and his secretary Elizabeth entered the venue at about eight o'clock. Brad Bowen from the Military Commission, a well-groomed and well-groomed old man, struck at first glance as kind and kind. With a friendly smile on his face, he walked towards the door.
"Go find something to drink and relax." Michael whispered in Elizabeth's ear, "I'll call you if there's a need." ”
"Yes, sir."
Elizabeth didn't say much, and turned sideways and retreated. Brad Bowen walked over with a smile and shook Michael's hand with his rough and powerful palm.
"Mr. Paso." "It was a real surprise, I've heard that it's always hard to take a break from your busy schedule. ”
"That's how it was. But Elizabeth told me that there were a lot of important friends from the military at today's banquet, so I thought it might not be nice to stay in the lab all the time. Michael paused, half-jokingly, "And I'm going to drink all the beers here." ”
Brad smiled, and the two began to walk side by side through the crowd toward the center of the venue.
"Regarding the miniature missiles you proposed last time," he said, "has there been progress?" ”
"It went well." Michael shrugged his shoulders and took a glass of whiskey from the waiter next to him, "The problem of size has been solved, and now we are trying to replace different warheads to test the effect." ”
"What about power?"
Michael smiled mysteriously and raised his glass: "Wait until the live demonstration, you will naturally see." ”
"Okay, then I'll see."
The march of background music gradually reached a climax, and the brisk rhythm seemed to drive the atmosphere of the hall to become more and more lively.
Until the arrival of uninvited guests suddenly pushed the atmosphere to its climax.
The tall glass curtain wall cracked with a crisp "clang", and the green shadow rushed into the hall on a silver-white skateboard to break through the opening wall, and two flames with black smoke sprayed from the tail. The green demon stomped wildly on the skateboard and flew around the crystal lantern twice, laughing hysterically.
"Hi~! New York's big guys! Did you all have a good night? ”
He shouted at the top of his voice, followed by a string of haha-ha laughs. The muzzle of the gun poked out from the bottom of the glider and spat tongues of fire aimlessly into the entire venue. Bullets shattered glass and plates, and food and drinks were spilled everywhere. The guests screamed and ducked, and fear quickly reigned supreme.
Security guards quickly entered the venue, but they were clearly powerless to do anything about the situation. They were overwhelmed with absolute fire by the green maniac standing on the glider, and they didn't even survive ten seconds.
The green guy was happy with his control. He stopped and slid the plane no longer buzzing like an annoying fly, and the sharp, vicious gaze under the mask swept coldly over the richly dressed celebrities, quickly locking on to Michael.
The glider slowly descended with the hum of the engine and hovered in front of Michael Paso. The young man stood there with his hands folded around his arms, and he looked up at the strangely dressed guy standing on the skateboard, as if he were looking at the clown on the stage.
"Look at our genius Michael Paso...... As always, no one is in sight. The green creature said in a strange voice.
"I think I'm pretty modest with most people." Michael said lightly, "But for some clowns who decided to change into Halloween costumes and jump in through the window without being invited to the party...... Then I have to admit that it really doesn't deserve much respect. ”
"Tut-tut," the other said, shaking his green finger, "that's because you don't know me well enough about what I can do." Once you've figured out how terrible the Green Goblin is, you'll start praying......"
"Sorry, but the name doesn't have much to think of other than smacking me corny and uncreative." Michael shrugged his shoulders, then raised his eyes, as if shooting a cold light like a knife in his eyes, and lowered his voice, "Or...... We'll just call you Mr. Osborne, what do you say? ”
The Green Goblin, an evil personality born from Norman Osborne's failed Oz human experiments, endowed Osborne with far more physical abilities and reflexes than ordinary people, is a classic villain in Marvel's "Spider-Man" series. As a time-traveler, Michael doesn't know much about Marvel Comics, but not to the point where he can't even recognize such a famous character.
The ghost-shaped green mask obscured the Green Goblin's expression, but his eyes clearly changed the moment his identity was revealed. But he quickly adjusted and laughed a few more times.
"Oh? Am I? He lowered his glider and approached Michael, smiling as if he were cold, "You don't know anything about the Green Goblin, Mr. Paso. ”
"If you'd like to talk to me about it alone, I happen to be free." Michael said lightly, "But there's no need to detain so many guests here. ”
The Green Goblin laughed again.
"Look, you don't understand it at all." "That's where it's interesting!" he exclaimed. There are so many people watching, so many viewers! The scene has just become hot! ”
The crunch of knuckles tapping on the glass interrupted the conversation. Everyone followed the sound and saw a thin figure wrapped in a red and blue bodysuit lying on its stomach at the crack where the glass window had been shattered by a glider, and the cobwebed head was poking through the crack in the glass.
It's the Spider-Man who has been active in New York for a while.
"Sorry to interrupt, man," he tapped at the window to get attention, "but I'm wondering if I should come in through this hole, or should I have to make a new hole myself?" Because...... You know, it's just a lot of confusion. ”
Spider-Man? Michael moved his eyebrows. Sure enough, this is not exactly the MCU cinematic universe, and the timing of Spider-Man and Green Goblin is enough to prove it. It seems that the plot development of the MCU in the future can only be used as a general reference, and the subsequent planning and arrangement cannot be completely based on the plot of the movie.
"You." The Green Goblin turned to look at him, his eyes narrowing under his mask.
"Me." Spider-Man jumped down and landed on a messy table, "Seriously, Halloween is early." And your outfit is really not realistic enough. ”
The Green Goblin temporarily left Michael behind and flew in front of Spider-Man with a glider.
"The man who said this had a cobwebbed head." The Green Goblin taunted, "Seriously, I have a better offer. You and I, we're not that different. Think about how much we could accomplish if we could work together, cobwebhead. New York's underworld bigwigs will now be history! ”
Spider-Man held up his cheeks and seemed to really think about it.
"You mean rule Manhattan? Or do all five districts count? Sounds tempting......" he waved his hand again, "...... But on second thought, forget it. Because it suddenly occurred to me that my principle is not to cooperate with green people. ”
"Hah! That's a pity...... But it's no surprise. But if I were you, I'd think again......" The Green Goblin paused and lowered his voice and smiled coldly, "...... Parker. ”
The pupils of Spider-Man's eyepieces shrank.
The Green Goblin raised his right hand, and fire erupted from the index finger of his glove. Spider-Man reacted swiftly and jumped away, and the dining table beneath him was blown open with a hole-sized hole.
Spider-Man reflexively stuck two spider silks to the bottom of the aisle on the second floor of the hall, and with the help of his strength, he rose up, flipped his body, and kicked the Green Goblin on the skateboard with his feet together. The Green Goblin leaned back slightly, and the glider rolled back its tail flame to avoid the past. He smirked: "Ha! Didn't hit! ”
Spider-Man volleyed two somersaults and landed on the glass wall inside the hall, and the Green Goblin spun around, several muzzles sticking out of the bottom of the glider. The long tongue of fire spat out continuously with the "sudden" gunshot, and Spider-Man jumped away deftly, and the ferocious fire blew the glass curtain wall to pieces. The venue exploded in an instant, and the guests took the opportunity to rush to several exits of the venue.
"Green Goblin!" Spider-Man was in mid-air, and the two spider silks grabbed two chairs and smashed them along a long parabola towards the Green Goblin in mid-air, "Take this!" ”
The Green Goblin dodged away from a chair and swung his arm to knock another volley apart, but he couldn't help but pause. Spider-Man took the opportunity to change two spider silks and quickly swung in front of the Green Goblin, slamming down on his gliding pedals.
"Hey! That's not something you're supposed to play! The Green Goblin shouted, and slammed his fist into the cobweb-headed face in front of him, "Go down! ”
Spider-Man turned his head away and unceremoniously replied with an uppercut: "Really? But I suspect you probably don't have a license to drive this thing, so I'll have to check your driver's license first. ”
One green and one red, the two guys huddled into the limited space of the glider, and they didn't give in to each other - both on their hands and on their mouths. The gliding pedal was buzzing around the hall like an out-of-control fly, and the two men standing on the pedal went back and forth violently, but neither could drive the other down. After a while, the scurrying glider finally made a new gap in the window, and the two men flew away with the two of them, and disappeared in the moonlight.
