Cheerful music echoed in the night sky, and a luxury passenger liner decorated with colorful lights sailed out of New York Harbor, and many guests chatted and laughed in the large cabins inside the ship, and occasionally burst into laughter.

A conspicuous banner reading "New Yorkers Thank the Fantastic Four" was displayed on the ceiling with countless colorful balloons and ribbons, and the invited guests also included NYPD and government officials, indicating that this was not a simple private party.

"I'm sorry, I was just going to have a little party, but Johnny's big mouth ......"

Ridra hid in the corner with Sean, his face was quite embarrassed, he was only going to have a friend party at noon, but who knew that after being promoted by Johnny everywhere, a bunch of inconsequential people were invited, in addition to the visiting fire department and the New York Police Department, there were also various journalists and freelance writers, as well as a group of hot model girls.

Ill-prepared, Reid had to change the party time to the evening, and by the way, he also changed to a luxury passenger liner with more space, but fortunately he was no longer as embarrassed as before, and he couldn't even pay the rent.

Since Dr. Doom made a big mess in Manhattan, the Fantastic Four has received a lot of exposure, although Reed's scientific research path is not smooth - after the bankruptcy of the Doom Group, no investor is willing to come to the door, but the alternative road to fame has begun, advertising endorsements for various furniture products, as well as invitations to talk shows, and announcements that fly like snowflakes have made the Fantastic Four a household name for a while.

"Very nice party, just a little noisy." Sean shook his head, the cacophony of sound almost drowning out his voice.

The stone man sat at the bar and had a good chat with a blind black girl, while Susan couldn't stand the noise and hid in her room to rest. The protagonists of this party have instead become marginalized people, and Johnny is the only one in the Fantastic Four, constantly performing superpowers to the group of beautiful girls, and a cluster of flames at his fingertips swaying and twisting, as if a magic show, changing into various forms and poses, attracting everyone's applause.

Reed watched all this with a headache, and finally sighed helplessly, and went to the deck with Sean to blow the wind, "I heard that S.H.I.E.L.D. found you?" ”

The young man nodded, and Tony's intervention made Nick Fury determined to let him go, which to be honest made Sean a little frustrated, and he had prepared a lot of tricks to deal with the black director's interrogation and incarceration.

For example, the public opinion offensive that was ready to launch completely surfaced and exposed to the public eye, and then with the help of the White House and the military to further press, put pressure on the World Security Council, and even let Skynet capture Dr. Zola, the leader of the Hydra who survived in the cyber world, and detonated the contradictions within S.H.I.E.L.D.......

If the black director insisted on not giving in, Sean wouldn't mind hurting S.H.I.E.L.D. at one time, but he didn't expect Tony to kill halfway, presumably Iron Man was still complacent at this time, feeling that he had done himself a great favor, and by the way, he also returned the previous favor.

"They also approached me and Susan to join the Fantastic Four, but I refused." Reed leaned against the railing and whispered, "I always felt that as a scientist, you shouldn't have too much contact with government departments, especially for people with superpowers like me. ”

Mr. Wonder seems to have something on his mind, and Reed, who seems to have achieved fame, still longs to be an ordinary scientist again, immersed in academic research and exploring the truth, instead of being busy on TV and magazine interviews every day like a star.

"All of New York knows that the Fantastic Four are the most beloved superheroes, and even Iron Man is not as popular as you." Sean quipped.

Like his good neighbor in New York, Fantastic Four prefer to do more practical things, such as stopping robbers who rob cash trucks or participating in firefighting, rather than Tony, who meddles in international disputes and is obsessed with updating steel armor, because they are closer to their lives.

"When will you propose to Susan?" Sean patted Reed on the shoulder, superheroes, like ordinary people, are also troubled by the trivial things in life.

Mr. Fantastic was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "We are all hesitant and unwilling to take that step. Sean, marriage is a big deal, it means forming a new family, welcoming a new life, and a whole bunch of problems give me more headaches than those mysterious subatomic chain reactions. ”

Facing Sean, who has a good impression, Reed, who is about to enter the palace of marriage, poured out his inner thoughts unabashedly, indulging in the mysteries of science, and he has a vision for the future married life, but more panic and panic.

Sean blinked and threw out a question, "Do you love Susan?" ”

"Of course." Reed didn't hesitate.

"Do you love science?"

"Of course." Still a decisive tone.

"Which one do you want?"

Sean looked at Reed, who was in a dilemma, and laughed: "Children only make choices, and adults certainly want them all." ”

Reed was stunned for a moment, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, as if clearing the fog in his heart, suddenly enlightened, he was entangled in the question that he had hesitated for a long time, in fact, it was that simple.

…………

In an old church in Queens, New York, a depressed Eddie Bullock walked in, dipped his finger in holy water, and made a cross on his chest. He sat on the bench with his head down, looking at the statue of the crucifix with compassion in his eyes on the wall, and poured out his inner depression and sorrow.

"I am Bullock, and I come to you today, humbled and humiliated, to ask you for one thing...... I think you can kill Peter Parker! ”

In the church, facing Jesus, Eddie poured out his hatred to the all-knowing and all-powerful God, a young photographer for the daily Clarion newspaper, who wanted to get a formal job through his own efforts, but everything was ruined because of Peter, and that guy always got the first hand to get the news, whether it was a photo of Spider-Man or the latest news of Ambrera.

No matter how aggressively Eddie is looking for news material, he will never be able to compare to Peter, and the stingy boss James will definitely not hire two people, and if he can't get valuable news, he will lose this temporary job sooner or later.

"his Peter Parker! his Spider-Man! Eddie cursed under his breath, having used his savings to buy a new camera, only to be crushed by Spider-Man not long ago.

When the bell rang, the depressed and troubled young photographer seemed to hear the sound of pain and wail, and he followed the sound to the bell tower, which no one cared about, and poked his head out to look upward, and vaguely saw a figure rolling on the top floor, moaning hoarsely, as if suffering from extreme pain.

"Hey, do you need help?" Add asked.

No one responded, the bells rang one after another, and the black figure frantically pounded the huge bronze bell hanging on the top floor, his hands seemed to be pulling something on his body.

"Maybe it's a madman, so let's get out of here."

The young photographer felt the situation strange and turned to leave, but at this moment, a small piece of wriggling black matter slipped from the bell tower above and happened to land on his body.

The bell rang continuously, and the black liquid flew along his arm, like a flowing liquid, covering his body tightly, enveloping Eddie's body tightly, like a dark beast with a wide open mouth, instantly engulfing the young photographer completely.
