Chapter 382: Gwen's Death
The television screen went completely black, and Peter couldn't help but lean forward to check what was wrong. But not yet, Peter. Parker approached the TV, and suddenly the screen came back to light.
A bleak green glow cast on Peter's face, as if he had turned on the vision of a night vision device.
The TV camera also switched from the financial experts debating the economic structure of the United States after the implementation of the registration bill to a bell tower engraved with the traces of battle, and Peter was stunned, and a long-buried memory began to revive in his mind.
"Yes, I know, many of us think we are immortal, we all think we have infinite time. It is a matter of course that although we graduated, it was like this short high school life, and the preciousness of life was that she could not be immortalized."
"Because it's limited, it's precious, and I know it, and now it's more than ever. The reason why I say this today is to remind us that time flies."
"Oh no!" A familiar voice came into Peter's head, not from the television, but as if it came directly to Peter's ears. After he became Spider-Man, he has experienced many horrific scenes, or those conspiracies that ordinary people can't imagine.
But Peter. Parker has never regretted it, and that's the only thing he's proud of, and he's firmly convinced that everything he's done is right. However, in his life, there is an indelible history, even if a long time has passed, but it cannot let him go.
"Don't waste your life on other things that don't matter, focus on yourself. Make your life more meaningful. At all costs. Strive for what you think is most important in your heart. So that even if we can't live forever. But we didn't let it go. ”
"The future should be bright, and it's easy to feel that a good day of hope will be like today. But there will still be dark days before us, and there are situations where you feel lonely days and really want what you need most. ”
Peter held his head in his hands and fell to his knees on the floor of the living room. Eyes glazed. Soon after, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes: "Oh, Gwen, are you using the power of God to guide me?" Please tell me what I should do now! ”
"Promise me that you will keep hope. Keep it alive in your heart. We must overcome the mistakes we are facing, and I hope you can be the hope of the people. So don't waste your time living in someone else's life and let you play to your strength and fight for your own hope. Because even if we fall short, that can let us know who we are. ”
"What people need. It is to have the courage to face the mistakes of one's choice even in the face of failure. We've had a shared time. Each other becomes one of each other's qiē. Our next move is to remind all of us that we are and that we are destined to take the path we have chosen. I've had a great four years, and you, I'm going to miss you more than you ever thought possible! ”
This passage is written in Peter. Parker's mind is fresh in his mind because it was Gwen's speech at his high school graduation ceremony. In fact, Peter always knew what he was supposed to do, but he needed to be reminded.
Blurry dots of light began to appear on the dark green screen, shimmering and then slowly coming together to form a single picture.
"No, don't let it go again, please!" Peter. Parker bounced off the ground and raced to the TV, pressing the power button. But his speed, as fast as it was, was useless.
Whether you press the power off button or unplug the power outlet, the screen is still playing. The flickering dark green dots of light scattered and wriggled like earthworms, slowly forming a vague but commanding six words - "must be seen".
After those six words disappeared, Gwen's image appeared on the TV screen, her body in a rapid decline. Time seemed to stand still on the TV, and Peter could clearly see every expression on Gwen's face.
He saw himself in Spider-Man's suit and Gwen jump off the crumbled bell tower, and he saw himself squirt spider silk from his wrist in an attempt to save Gwen's life. But Peter was not reassured, but he was more afraid than he was in the face of any powerful enemy.
Not for anything else, because this is an unavoidable part of his superhero career, as a superhero whose mission is to protect the safety of New Yorkers, Spider-Man can't protect his girlfriend's life.
This is such a damn irony!
Crystal clear colloidal spider silk passed through the shattered gears and steel pipes, and clung to Gwen's body. But the speed at which she fell remained the same, and Peter could see Gwen gently close her eyes, already aware of her fate.
But Spider-Man was not willing to give up, he reached out and grabbed a steel pipe that was outward, and with his physique, he could definitely slow down Gwen's fall before he hit the ground.
Yes, he did, and when he was still inches off the ground, Spider-Man grabbed Gwen. He succeeded, grabbing Gwen's body before she fell to the ground.
Spider-Man immediately let go and jumped from a great height to Gwen, but the girl, who had been full of energy a quarter of an hour ago, was now limb and allowed herself to be hung in the air by the spider's silk.
Spider-Man shuddered and took off his hood, and his hands were the same as those of Peter in front of the TV. Parker's body was shivering in pain.
He made a mistake, and Peter misjudged Gwen's body by his own physical strength. In Newton's laws of motion, a sudden change in the state of motion causes an object to be subjected to an impact that is much greater than the kinetic energy.
Suddenly stopping from a high-speed fall, the force of which even an adult man can break his neck bone. Even though the police forensic report states that Gwen broke his neck when he fell, Peter still blames Gwen's death on his head.
Speaking of Gwen's death, it was definitely an important point in Peter's life that changed his fate. Gwen's death not only made Spider-Man say goodbye to his carefree school career completely, but also made a difference in Peter. Parker's heart is left with eternal pain and self-blame.
All in all, Gwen's death made Peter. Parker was more mature and heavier. If we have the heart to collect, we will find an interesting phenomenon: most superheroes have experienced the death of their loved ones or lovers to a greater or lesser extent, wake up from the pain, and let themselves overcome the defeat This is a superhero road destined to be alone.
