Chapter 037: Sending Out a Challenge
"I think I have what it takes to capture Dr. Octopus, if I know where he's hiding, of course."
A faint confidence emanated from Wang Hai's tone.
"Oh my God! Are you telling the truth? Do you really have what it takes to catch that damn octopus? ”
The director's expression was quite excited, but there was a bit of suspicion in his eyes, and he didn't seem to believe what Wang Hai said.
"At least that's what I think."
As the words fell, Wang Hai stood up, gently bent down and grabbed the supporting pillar of the metal round stool and held it in his hand.
In a single breath, the straight support column forged from metal, which was about the thickness of a wrist, was flattened into a curved bend.
Throwing away the steel stool in his hand, Wang Haimian stood in place without changing his color.
His face was not red and he was not panting, which meant that he had not used his real strength, and it was enough to bend the steel.
Looking at the waste stool lying on the ground in amazement, the director's heart was really shocked.
It would take at least several tons of strength to twist such a thick metal pillar with the brute force of both arms!
He had only seen reports of superheroes and supercriminals in the news media before, and had never seen the power of superhuman beings with his own eyes, but this time he finally saw it with his own eyes.
"But...... Did you come to our TV station to ask me about Dr. Octopus's hideout? God testifies, I don't know where he is hiding. That damn octopus was almost killed by my daughter Lina last week when she went to withdraw money from the Broadway Sun Trust Bank, but thankfully Spider-Man saved her life in time. If I knew where he was hiding, I would have gone to a group of battle-hardened mercenaries to dismantle him. Jail or something, it's too cheap for him. ”
"No, I'm not trying to ask you where Dr. Octopus is hiding. I'm here mainly to get your permission to record a video for me and then broadcast it on your TV news channel. Wang Hai understood what he meant, and a mysterious smile immediately appeared on his face.
……
In the recording room, facing the camera of the TV station for the first time, Wang Hai couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
When he calmed down and sorted out his thoughts, and officially began to speak, he suddenly realized that it was not so difficult to speak to the camera.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has enough confidence to express his next words to the citizens of New York in front of the screen.
It is worth mentioning that in order not to show his face in front of the citizens of New York, he deliberately put on a mask with a black skull to hide his true face.
"Hello, Dr. Octopus. You can call me a Black Skull. I've heard that you've been robbing major banks lately, but you've been ruined by Spider-Man, the Guardian of New York, and you've never been able to raise enough money for fusion experiments. Well, I've got 100 million dollars for you, and if you can beat me, I'll give it away. ”
As he spoke, Wang Hai took out a black pistol from his pocket.
Under the shooting of high-definition footage, he pointed the muzzle of the pistol at his forehead, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
With a "bang", the bullet casings ejected from the chamber with golden sparks, and the metal bullets shot straight into the forehead.
However, when Wang Hai removed the muzzle of the gun, what remained on his forehead was actually a bullet that had been flattened and the length was forcefully compressed to only half of the original.
"As you can see, I'm not that easy to deal with, at least most weapons can't kill me. The time of the battle is 20:00 tonight, in front of the Church of San Raphael. Of course, you don't have to worry about a police ambush, and if you find an ambush, you can run away. Still, I still think that even if the police have an ambush, they won't be able to deal with the mighty Doctor Octopus. If you're brave enough, come to me, I'll be waiting for you there! ”
Bang Bang Bang!
After watching Wang Hai's wonderful speech and performance, the program team, which was personally supervised by the director, clapped their palms excitedly to show respect and express joy.
Doctor Octopus has recently become famous in New York, with 99 out of every 100 New Yorkers knowing his name and crimes, and his attention has even overshadowed the dandy news of Tony Stark, the CEO of Stark Group. And since Tony Stark's disappearance in the Middle East, he has often dominated the headlines of the press.
The TV station now has this blatant provocation to Dr. Octopus recorded by Wang Hai, and it is still an exclusive news material, which is bound to greatly increase the ratings of the TV station, and then collect more advertising title sponsorship fees.
The video that Wang Hai recorded in the morning was broadcast on the noon news channel at noon.
The results were even better than expected, with ratings soaring from 11.53% at the beginning to 47.69%.
At the same time, almost half of the entire population of New York City was watching the news - a mysterious person nicknamed Black Skull challenged New York's most powerful supercriminal, Dr. Octopus!
In a hidden nuclear fusion laboratory, Dr. Octopus, one of the parties involved, also saw this midday news.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's kind of interesting." Otto took off his sunglasses and looked at the guy in the black skull mask on the TV screen, the corners of his mouth curled in a strange arc.
"I was worried about which bank to rob, but I didn't expect someone to send money to the door. I hope that annoying little spider doesn't come over and make trouble. ”
……
Time is like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, night has fallen.
At 7:50 p.m., in the central square in front of the Church of San Raphael.
Under a stone statue pedestal carved with a cardinal archbishop, Wang Hai, wearing a black skull mask, leaned quietly, holding a Coca-Cola paper cup in his right hand, a white straw in his mouth, and his hard Adam's apple squirming up and down from time to time.
Swallowing a cool cola and looking at the watch on your wrist.
It was discovered that the hand was indicating the time of 19:50, 10 minutes before the agreed meeting time with Doctor Octopus.
"Doctor Octopus, aren't you going to come?"
Looking at the hands in the frame moving around for a while, but Dr. Octopus Wang Hai did not arrive for a long time, and doubts gradually arose in Wang Hai's heart.
Although Dr. Octopus is a conceited person, he can't stand the provocation of others, and he does lack a huge amount of funding for nuclear fusion experiments, but the world is unpredictable, maybe he won't come?
