Chapter 485: Suspicion

Eric's three super bodyguards who helped Peter subdue were brought back by Aegis later on. Early the next morning, a notification came from Aegis, and Eric called Peter to the Aegis Mothership.

It was still an old acquaintance, Sharon Carter, who led the two to a prison, and Nick Fury was already waiting in the reception room one step in advance. As soon as the two of them entered, Peter could not wait, "You had better have some good news, for I have a very bad premonition about this...... Oh, it's not the 'spider sense' premonition, it's just the bad premonition......"

"You caught those three people last night, and we've found out where they came from." Fury said lightly, "They are all mercenaries, second-rate goods, the kind that are not worth mentioning." Our experts tested them in detail and found ingredients in their blood that were able to temporarily grant superpowers to an ordinary spider. ”

"yes, that's it! Gangs in New York have been buying and selling these things lately! Peter said, "Wait, did you just say 'for the time being'?" ”

"Yes, by this point, the abilities of all three of them have been rendered useless." "The potion doesn't last long, but even then it's serious enough. This is a high-security super-energy gene leak accident, and we have launched a follow-up investigation. ”

"Sounds reassuring." Peter muttered.

"There is not much left in the bodies of these three people, but our experts have been able to find some of the ingredients from them, and they have found them to be quite similar to the research of an old friend of ours."

Peter raised his eyebrows: "Old friend? Do I know? ”

"It's all too familiar." Fury said, "We'll see him in a moment." ”

Fury then led the two out of the prison and went straight into the prison, where the guards seemed to have been greeted in advance, and none of them stopped them. The two of them followed him through one defense after another that required a high level of security verification, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder what level of guy was hiding behind such a tight defense.

The last lock was lifted, and the three of them finally arrived at the cell door. Through a layer of 4-inch bulletproof glass, I saw a short and fat guy with unkempt hair and prison clothes sitting in the center with his back to several people. Peter glanced at the back, and vaguely felt familiar.

"Otto." Fury said lightly, "Someone has come to see you." ”

Peter shuddered in his heart, and then realized that this was the octopus monster who turned his life upside down and was one of Spider-Man's greatest rivals? But I always feel that his aura is ...... It's a little weirder than it used to be.

The man turned a deaf ear to Fury's shouts, and Fury kept calling him three times before he seemed to suddenly call himself, turned around slowly, and smiled silly at the three of them.

Peter was amazed: "You ...... What did you do to the octopus monster? Why does he look a bit like ...... now?"

"A preschool child with intellectual disabilities?" "That's where he is now." But believe it or not, we didn't do anything to him, and all of a sudden he became like this, and our relevant experts said that he was indeed stupid and might have been stimulated by something. ”

"Wait, you said his technique is similar......"

"Yes. Otto once cloned you, and no less. If there's anyone who knows the most about the workings of Spider-Man's abilities, it's him, I think. Fury said, "Unfortunately, I spent a while with him before you came here, but he seems to be stupid, and we can't expect anything to come out of his mouth." ”

Eric said, "It's a pity he can't speak now." ”

"Not bad." Fury said, "Maybe he'll never be able to speak." ”

Behind the layer of bulletproof glass, Otto still stared at them stupidly, his eyes fixed on Peter, intentionally or unintentionally, showing a hint of a smile.

Fury then arranged for someone to ask Peter some questions, all about whether his genes could be leaked through other means, hoping to think of clues that could help uncover the identity of the mysterious group that sold potions, but unfortunately the morning passed and there was still no eyebrow. Helpless, the two had to leave first, and if anything happened, Aegis would still be in touch.

Eric then went straight back to the watchtower, and Peter had a date with Gwen in the evening, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.

Towards the end of the evening, Gwen arrived at the meeting point with Peter on time. She thought that according to the custom, she would have to wait here for at least half an hour before he appeared, but she didn't expect that this time Peter was waiting here early, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

"Hey," Gwen stepped forward and asked strangely, "what's the wind blowing today?" How long have you been here? ”

"Hmm...... It wasn't long, was it? Peter looked her up and down, looking rather unnatural.

Gwen wondered and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Ah...... No. Peter frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly stretched out his hand, and without saying anything, he pulled Gwen off the sidewalk, found a less populated area, and looked left and right for a while, as if he was worried that someone was following.

Gwen was even more confused, but she also realized that something was wrong, and whispered, "You're starting to scare me, Peter." What's going on? Tell me we can figure it out together. ”

Peter just shook his head and said, "Listen, Gwen, I'...... I can't explain it, but I need you to trust me, are you right to believe me? ”

Gwen hesitated, but nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then I want you to leave for a while."

"Leave? Where to? Gwen was surprised, "What's the matter, Peter?" Has anyone found it again? Is it Osborne? ”

"It's not Osborne, it's not some of Spider-Man's old rivals. Wherever you go, just go where no one else can find it. Peter panicked, "Please, I can't explain, but ...... This is important. ”

Gwen sighed and said, "Okay. But promise me, tell me afterwards what it was for. ”

Peter said seriously, "I promise." ”

Then, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to her, "Thank you." ”

The two then left. Less than ten minutes after they left, another "Peter" ran in a panic from the opposite side of the pavement to the place where they had agreed to meet, looking left and right but there was no sign of Gwen. He took a moment's breath, looked at the time to make sure he was more than thirty minutes late, and then took out his phone and began to try to dial Gwen's number.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed cannot be connected temporarily, please leave a message when you hear ...... beep"

Peter frowned.

In the past few days, he has always had a very bad premonition, as if an invisible black shadow is hovering around him all the time, and he only feels endless pressure. And at this moment, his premonition was even stronger.
