Chapter 29: Blackouts and Big Bangs
At 8 o'clock in the evening, it was the best time of the day for the Kane Bar, and the neighborhood was incredibly safe because of his presence, and even the stupidest thugs would not come near the area, because that often meant death or disappearance.
Slowly the surrounding residents also discovered this, after a busy day, they gradually got used to coming to the bar for a drink, bragging and farting with old friends, of course, it is also a good choice to come here to solve a dinner, although the owner here is a young white head (Kane roared: You are the young white head, your whole family is a young white head. But the bartending skills are quite good, and their beautiful chef's barbecue is also very skillful, which is a famous delicacy in the neighborhood.
The jukebox in the bar played soothing jazz music, Kane's hands fluttered up and down with the music, and the rocker in his hand swayed up and down as if it were glued to his hand, and the metal body reflected the lights of the bar like a dancing elf.
Boom, the shaker stopped, unscrewed the lid, and a sapphire-like beautiful liquid flowed into a transparent goblet, Kane gently used two fingers to bring the glass to a blonde girl, and smiled slightly, "Your Blue Friday, I hope you like it." ”
"Thank you." The girl smiled charmingly, scratched Kane's palm as she took the glass, and shoved a rolled dollar into his hand.
"Thank you." Kane expertly put $20 in the cash box behind the counter, and then raced a small note with a phone number in it into a wastepaper basket that was almost full, full of similar small notes.
With the tempering of a large number of spirits to the body, Kane's physical function is getting better and better, which also makes his bartending technique seem so different, attracting a large number of young girls, but Kane will not respond to any of them at present, he is still slowly adapting to this world, after all, he is not a native Marvel human, of course, more importantly, he has a sense of crisis in his heart, not only because he needs to obtain a large number of spirits as soon as possible to improve his rank in order to return to his own world with the help of Rasma's power, and the supervillains of the Marvel world, God knows who will come to him first and take his own life or the life of the people around him, Frank's pain he doesn't want to experience once.
"Hey Kane, I'd like to have the cocktail that the girl just asked for, and I'll take the rest as your tip." Another black-haired girl came up to Kane and handed over a hundred-dollar bill, well, Kane looked at the girl's designer clothes and wondered if she was thinking of herself as a part-time cowherd.
"Okay, please wait." In line with the idea of not making money for nothing, Kane still accepted the bill, anyway, he only sells his art and not his body, and he is not afraid of being forced by the girl, but just as he picked up the shaker, the whole bar suddenly fell into darkness.
"Ahh The girls exclaimed.
Kane hurriedly said loudly: "It's a power outage, don't panic, Morena, help light a few candles, it's in the cabinet." ”
A few antique candlesticks were put out, bringing a glimmer of light to the bar and calming everyone down, and some familiar old customers simply took advantage of the candlelight to continue drinking, and quipped, "Hey, Kane, did you forget to pay the electricity bill?" ”
"In my opinion, it was our little Kane who rejected a girl, and someone cut off the power of the bar out of love and hatred, hahahaha."
Of course, Kane knew that this was not true, but he was more worried that it was some supervillain who had appeared, so after greeting Morena, he walked out of the bar alone, looked around to see that there was no one, and slammed onto the roof with a few clicks on the fire elevator next to him.
Sure enough, it was a city-wide blackout, and with the exception of some important buildings that could power themselves, the whole of New York was plunged into darkness, and the street sirens blared in the distance, probably something was wrong.
This kind of bad environment is too suitable for crime, I am afraid that even some guys who usually dare not commit crimes will take advantage of the darkness to do some illegal things, the bone armor covered Kane's body for the first time, he jumped to the roof of the building next to him and ran towards the siren, at the same time, he also told Morina in his heart to protect the customers in the bar.
It didn't take long for a man in a red leotard to come up to him and run side by side with him, it was Daredevil Matt, "Hey, Kane, do you know what's going on?" ”
"No, I also just came out of the bar, this kind of city-wide power outage must not be a trivial matter, I hope there will be no supervillains."
"Well, you're right, but the top priority now is to stop ordinary criminals, I'll go this way, you go that way, let's go our separate ways."
"Okay, be careful."
"Well, you too."
The two of them separated on a roof, each running in a different direction, however, the two of them didn't notice, a hundred meters away, the empty roof suddenly appeared a twist, and then two short masked people appeared here out of thin air, the two of them whispered a few words, and they also separated, one by one followed the backs of Kane and Matt, and their figures gradually disappeared into the air in the run.
At this moment, Otto's laboratory, which is located on the edge of the West River, is already in a mess, there seems to be a big explosion here, most of the laboratory has disappeared, and Dr. Otto, who has a decadent face, looks at the moon in the sky through the ruins blankly, and keeps muttering: "How can this be, how can this be, my calculations will not be wrong, why did the explosion occur..."
This is where the root cause of the power outage in New York City tonight is, and the experiment went very smoothly at first, with a steady stream of energy being released from the machine, but as time went on, the situation changed, and the energy was delivered more and more, and even a magnetic field was created around the machine, which began to attract all the surrounding metal to the center.
Peter loudly reminded Dr. Otto to turn off the power, but the doctor who was in a hurry refused to do anything, there was no way, Peter had to run out of the room and change into a spider suit, and rescued everyone before the situation deteriorated to the extreme, and the out-of-control equipment eventually exploded, paralyzing the entire New York power transmission network before blowing up half of the laboratory, and a power engineer named Max died as a result.
Dr. Otto muttered in despair, he knew he was done, the project was expensive, but the end result was like this, the destruction of the laboratory was a trivial matter, the point was that almost all the equations had to be recalculated, and the question was whether the Osborne Group would have the patience to support his project.
"Doctor, are you alright?" A gentle voice rang out, and Dr. Otto turned his head to see Norman Osborne coming to his side, kindly holding him by the shoulder.
"Mr. Osborne, I'm sorry, it may have been a little technical mistake, give me a little time, next time, next time I will be able to succeed."
"Oh, don't worry, doctor, I believe you, it was just a minor problem, but it was because of that nosy Spider-Man that the experiment failed, don't worry, when you are fully healthy, we can start the experiment again." No one noticed that Norman Osborne had a vial of green potion between his fingers, which was being injected into Dr. Otto's body.
"Yes, Spider-Man, without him, my experiment would have been successful." Dr. Otto's eyes flashed green, and the mechanical arm that had been implanted deep in his body by the explosion began to squirm slowly.
