Chapter 31: Doctor Octopus

As it rolls out late at night, the bar's patrons leave the cosy place to return to their homes, a slightly drunken feeling that will give them a good night's sleep, while Kane and Peter start to clean up the bar, and they need to wipe down all the tables and chairs to make a good impression on tomorrow's customers.

"Hey, Kane, I don't quite understand why you, Matt and Frank are so ruthless, isn't it good to be a good neighbor to the citizens like me, you can be an idol and role model for the children, and make society a better place." Peter asked curiously as he wiped the floor, a question that had been in his mind for a long time, until he became friends with Kane, and he felt that he could ask.

Kane smiled, put a wooden stool on the table, looked at Peter, and said, "That's a good question, in fact, I also thought, didn't you see the biggest difference between us?" ”

"Different? What do you mean? ”

"In terms of abilities, look at your abilities, walking on buildings, moving around the city at high speed with the help of spider silk, super strength, agility, sensing, these abilities allow you to help people in all kinds of ways, so that they feel that you are approachable, like a boy next door, but a little more capable."

"You have some of these abilities too, huh?" Peter said he didn't understand.

"Hehe, yes, we have some abilities, but we only have some of them. For example, if a building catches fire and you can get in and rescue everyone, what can we do, probably only Frank can use explosives to make the building fall faster. Let's say there's a patient on the side of the road who needs first aid, and there's a traffic jam on the road, and you can take him to the hospital from the air, but what about us? I'm afraid I'll have to let his soul return to the corpse and become a flesh puppet. As for Matt, no matter what amazing thing a blind man does, he will be pulled to the laboratory to be sliced and studied. ”

"Oh, what you said is disgusting, but there is some truth to it, but what about the ruthlessness, can't you give those criminals a chance to repent, why do you have to kill people, how do you explain this."

"Peter, I can only say that this is a problem of the upbringing, Frank is a soldier, he spent the first half of his life on the battlefield, when his wife and children are brutally murdered by the gangsters, and the law cannot punish the murderer, he will naturally become a punisher. As for Matt and I, we both grew up in Hell's Kitchen, we have been used to seeing the ugliness of the world since we were children, some of which you can't imagine growing up in Queens, it is not necessarily right for good to repay evil and evil to be rewarded, innocent people are dying, and vicious criminals are at large, these things happen every day, the people we kill are burdened with countless blood debts, if we let them live, how many people will continue to suffer? ”

"But what is the difference between you and them who abuse lynching?" Well, after a long drive and back, Kane really didn't know what to say.

“... Attention officers, attention officers, there is a robbery at the Commonwealth Bank at 15 Riverside Boulevard, suspected of being a super-criminal, please send reinforcements to nearby police officers, please send nearby police officers to reinforcements..."

The police call stopped the two from communicating in time, Kane and Peter looked at each other, smiled and shook it, took off their coats and ran out the door, and Morina threw down her apron and followed.

The Commonwealth Bank at 15 Riverside Boulevard, a large hole has been broken in the exterior wall of this historic building, a circle of police cars with flashing police lights surrounded the bank, all the police officers are loaded and aimed at the big hole in the wall, and the police helicopters in the sky are also using searchlights to strafe the bank.

This can't be blamed on the timidity of the New York police, anyone who sees the big iron door of the vault on the wall opposite the bank will not have the urge to raise it and attack immediately, the security guards rescued from the bank have already told them that the guy who entered the vault is a monster, with four octopus-like iron hands on his back, and can force the vault door off the wall and throw it out.

After the incident of Dr. Lizard last time, the New York police fully understood that supercriminals should be fought by superheroes, in addition to the safety of their subordinates, it also involves the possibility of a significant increase in the amount of insurance for the officers, and the commander on the scene has even begun to mumble why Spider-Man has not come.

"Sir, he's coming." The commander finally heard the good news from the headset, as a police helicopter on the river sank slightly, a red and blue figure swung across the wide river with the help of the helicopter, flipped over and landed on the roof of the bank, and the police officers who saw his appearance cheered one after another, and their long-awaited Spider-Man finally arrived.

In comparison, Kane and Morena are much more miserable, they can only drive around the bridge across the river, and the depressed Kane has already begun to think about how to manage Tony to ask for a few sets of steel suits, which don't need many functions, as long as they can fly.

"Dr. Otto?" Peter, who had already entered the bank, recognized the scientist with whom he had been working with the other day through the four robotic arms, but their very different appearances made him a little skeptical of his own judgment.

All of Dr. Otto's body was gone, and the wrinkles on his face were gone, replaced by gray-black, rock-rough skin and bulging muscles.

"Oh, you know me? I can't imagine that Spider-Man is still a science lover from science magazines, so, what are you here for, do you want a piece of the pie, I'm a generous person, nay, then. A heavy cash box flew at Peter's face, and Dr. Otto grinned at the same time, saliva running down his mouth that he didn't care, it looked like something was wrong with his sanity, and it was hard to imagine that he had once been a refined scientist.

Peter grabbed the cash box thrown by Dr. Otto and put it aside, trying to dissuade him from giving up his crime with words, but he didn't realize that it was just a disguise, and before he could speak, he was whipped out by a mechanical arm coming from the side.

"Aha, Spider-Man, I remember you, you ruined everything for me in the lab, and now you're here to stop me from fundraising, well, it looks like I've got to teach you a lesson, how about a spider specimen."

Dr. Otto threw away the cash box in his hand as if he had discovered something interesting, and threw himself at Peter, the four retractable mechanical arms that allowed him to dash through without any obstacle like Peter.

Pop, two small white balls flew out of the table and chair that Peter knocked over, and accurately hit Dr. Otto's cheeks, these two small white balls the size of golf balls were launched from Peter's spider web launcher, the launcher can make spider silk fly hundreds of meters away, and the force contained in these two small balls is definitely no worse than the high-speed serve of a professional tennis player, anyway, the average bandit will be knocked out if one of them hits.

Peter originally calculated very well, Dr. Otto's mechanical arm is really powerful, but he himself is just an ordinary person, as long as he stuns him, the matter will be over, but this time, Peter miscalculated, Dr. Otto who was hit twice just raised his head and was fine, and there was not even redness and swelling on the gray-black skin.

"Hey, Spider-Man, are you a kid having a snowball fight, let me send you back to your mother's arms, the world is too dangerous for you." Dr. Otto pounced on him with a wild laugh, and the four mechanical arms immediately put Peter under siege.
