Chapter 158: Peter Parker's Growth

The next morning, Ronan, who was still asleep, was woken up by a phone call.

Hazy, he reluctantly stretched his hand out of the quilt and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table.

"Hello?"

Ronan picked up the phone weakly.

"Ronan?"

"I'm Peter, did you see the news this morning?"

Peter Parker's voice came from the other end of the line.

It's amazing that he's been able to endure it from last night until this morning.

"No, I'm still sleeping."

"Speaking of Peter, don't you sleep on weekends?"

Ronan closed his eyes and asked angrily.

Isn't sleeping in the most comfortable thing in the world?

Is there really anyone who doesn't like to sleep in?

"Well, I don't like to sleep too much."

"Because if I wake up too late, my aunt will come and wake me up herself, so."

Obviously, living with elders faces most of the endings that are like this.

Ronan, on the other hand, sighed, rolled over, and let his body lie on his side, and the phone was placed next to his ear.

The two hands were retracted into the covers.

"Well, what the hell are you looking for me?"

"If it's not a big deal, I'll call you when I wake up."

Ronan closed his eyes, as if he was going to fall asleep in the next second.

Calling at seven a.m. on weekends, is that what people do?

"Actually, I have something important to tell you."

"Did you see that lizard on the Brooklyn Bridge last night?"

"I've found something new, so I wanted to share it with you."

"If it's not convenient for you to go out now, then I can go to your house to find you."

Peter Parker said hurriedly.

What's new?

Ronan could probably guess a little bit about the new situation he said, which was nothing more than where the lizard came from and how it appeared.

Of course, Ronan pretended not to know anything.

"Forget it, don't come here, where are you now?"

Ronan snorted reluctantly, maybe there were still people staring around his house.

At this time, Peter Parker came over, and if there was any flaw, it would not be a good thing.

Peter Parker, in particular, is particularly fond of drilling windows.

"I'm going to go to the secret base, and I don't have a part-time job today, so I'm going to go to the secret base to sort it out."

Peter Parker replied.

"Okay, then we'll see you at your secret base in half an hour."

After saying that, Ronan hung up the phone decisively.

Then he opened a slit in his right eye, skillfully set an alarm clock for twenty-eight minutes later with both hands, then made an appointment for takeout, and closed his eyes again.

β€”β€”

Half an hour later.

Peter Parker's secret base.

At this time, Peter Parker was staring at his laptop with a serious face.

Almost all of the above is a report about the time of the Brooklyn Bridge last night.

There are photos taken by the people on the bridge at that time, and there are even a few photos that are very clear and have been cited by many media.

After yesterday's encounter with the giant lizard professor, Peter Parker also knew that this was definitely not an ordinary lizard.

So, he wanted to find the lizard.

Because if he continues to wander through New York, who knows when he will reappear and wreak havoc.

By that time, if Peter Parker could not arrive in time, there would inevitably be casualties.

While Peter Parker was studying these things, a golden portal appeared in his secret base.

Ronan appeared on the other side of the portal.

"Peter. Come and help. ”

Ronan has a toothbrush in one hand and a cup in the other, and there is still some foam in his mouth.

Peter Parker was slightly stunned, but quickly got into the portal and came to Ronan's side.

"There's breakfast on the table that just arrived, you bring it first, and I'll wash it right away."

Ronan took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth, and pointed to the table next to him.

Peter Parker didn't say much, but walked straight to the table and saw a large table of things.

"So much?"

Although he was a little surprised, he only sighed and picked up all the things on the table.

For Peter Parker's arm strength, these things are actually about the same as nothing.

Ronan spit out the water from his mouth, wiped his mouth clean, and followed Peter Parker across the portal.

As soon as he walked out of the portal, Ronan felt a "cordial greeting" from the cold winter.

"Whew"

"Peter, in this environment, you can still hold on."

"How to put it, if you can't be a superhero in the future, then no one can be a superhero."

Ronan exhaled softly, and immediately turned into a white mist.

In this environment, Peter Parker also has to help the police catch the bad guys.

Ay.

"I don't have a problem, since I was bitten by a spider, my body temperature can even change with the changes in my surroundings."

"Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to go out in that tights."

Peter Parker shrugged.

That's something Ronan has forgotten.

Spiders are crustacean creatures, and their body temperature changes with the temperature of their surroundings, which is the most powerful place.

Of course, once the temperature reaches below 10 degrees, it will also restrict his activities.

No matter how low the temperature is, the spiders will freeze to death.

As for why Peter Parker only inherited the advantages and did not inherit the disadvantages as well, the reason is also very simple.

The spider was a spider that his father had personally cultivated.

Surely only the advantages will be retained, and the disadvantages will be eliminated entirely.

This is also why, New Yorkers can always see that Peter Parker is wearing that tights no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter.

"Well, since you think it's okay yourself, then it's okay."

"Let's get to the point."

"What the hell are you waking me up so early?"

Ronan walked over to the couch and sat down, then picked up the breakfast on the table and began to unpack the bag.

He didn't eat breakfast.

That half-hour "rush time" was all spent by Ronan sleeping.

"I think I know where it came from."

"No, to be exact, I know of a place where the lizards might be from the lab over there."

Peter Parker told Ronan about his internship at Osborne Industries.

As he said, he had just joined Osborne as an intern and was quickly approached by Dr. Connors for his outstanding knowledge.

After a period of study, Dr. Connors discovered that Peter Parker was gifted with a natural gift for biology.

So, he was brought into another experimental group.

That experimental group was the most important research in Dr. Connors's hands.

Using lizards, research a reagent that can bring people back to life with severed limbs, and even treat all diseases known to man.

Peter Parker certainly didn't say that, but Ronan understood that much.

As for those chemical reactions, biological theories and the like, Ronan basically didn't listen to them.

"So, you suspect that the lizard escaped from Dr. Connors's lab?"

Ronan summed up Peter Parker's lengthy remarks.

Anyway, that's what it means.

"That's right, as for why that lizard is so big, it's probably because of the experiment."

"It's just that I haven't delved into it right now, otherwise I would have known more."

Peter Parker also found a good reason for the lizard's size.

How to say it, the first half of the guess, there is no doubt that Peter Parker guessed correctly.

Because the person who went out of there was Dr. Connors himself.

"Don't tell me your next plan is to find out."

Ronan glanced at Peter Parker and seemed to guess what he was thinking.

"No, I can't"

Peter Parker just wanted to deny it, but when he saw Ronan's eyes, he couldn't help but be deflated.

"Well, I do want to find out."

Peter Parker eventually admitted.

"In what capacity?"

"Spider-Man? Or Peter Parker? ”

Ronan took a bite of the steaming hot dog, and in his right hand was a cold drink.

Carbonated drinks, no matter what the season, have to be iced.

That's called an authentic tunnel!

"Peter Parker's Bar"

"After all, I'm now qualified to go through some experimental logs."

Peter Parker thought about it and felt that it would be better to use his own identity to go in.

"But have you ever thought that if it was exactly what you suspected, would Dr. Connors or anyone else still let you go through those records?"

"And once they find out that you're looking up these records, they don't even have to think about it, it must have something to do with last night's incident."

"When the time comes, do you want to be convicted of espionage, or do you want to expose you as Spider-Man?"

Ronan quickly tackled one hot dog and picked up another.

Like a hot dog of this size, he can eat at least eight.

And what he said just now made Peter Parker blushing and speechless.

He couldn't even think of a word to refute Ronan.

"So, boy, let's have breakfast."

Ronan picks up a hot dog and shoves it directly into Peter Parker's hand, motioning for him to eat.

The two of them had breakfast together in this silent situation.

I don't know if Peter Parker turned his grief and anger into a meal, and he only ate two hot dogs less than Ronan during this meal.

If other people see their appetite and look at their figures, I'm afraid they can really kill them.

Eating so much and not getting fat, isn't it a waste of food? β€”β€”

After breakfast, Ronan planned to go home.

Gwen Stacy is going back to her grandmother's house today, so Ronan is also going to take a trip to Kama Taj.

However, when he was about to leave, he saw Peter Parker's hesitant gaze.

It seems that he is still thinking about whether to give it a try.

Seeing him like this, Ronan couldn't help but sigh.

When Peter Parker of the 616 universe was about to make a mistake, Ronan also stopped him once.

After that, he never interfered with his choice again.

There is no reason to face the Peter Parker in front of him, who is closer to him, and Ronan does not remind him once.

"Peter, look at me."

Ronan spoke.

Peter Parker was slightly stunned, but still raised his head and looked at Ronan.

When he saw Ronan's serious face, he couldn't help but get nervous.

"Peter, are you still thinking about trying to investigate the lizard incident?"

Ronan asked in a low voice.

Peter Parker was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ronan.

"I want to hear the truth!"

Although it was only a few words, this was the first time that Peter Parker felt an oppressive force from Ronan's body.

This kind of oppressive force has never been experienced since Peter Parker transformed into Spider-Man.

Even, his spider sense is frantically warning him to get out of this place quickly!

But he held back.

"Yes, I do."

"Because I've thought about it, I won't necessarily be discovered, and even if I do, I won't admit that I'm Spider-Man, and"

However, before he could finish speaking, Ronan interrupted him again.

"That's enough, that's enough."

"Peter, as a friend, I have to warn you that you are really naΓ―ve."

"It's even stupid."

Ronan took a deep breath, and sure enough, it was about the same as he guessed.

Peter Parker looked at Ronan, and although he didn't understand why Ronan said that, he didn't refute or defend himself.

Because he knew that Ronan could say that, there must be a reason for him.

What's more, he believes that Ronan is friends with him.

Ronan won't hurt him!

"Do you think if you don't reveal yourself as Spider-Man, then everything will be fine?"

"No, haven't you thought about what those rich people will do?"

"If you manage to see the material and leave it, well, you're all right."

"But, is your success rate 100 percent?"

Ronan looked at Peter Parker and asked the first question.

"No, it's not."

Perhaps because of Ronan's serious gaze, Peter Parker slowly calmed down.

"Since it's not, there's another possibility."

"They found you and caught you."

"According to you, at this time, you will not escape by force, so you will not reveal your identity as Spider-Man."

"Then what do you think the people who capture you will do to you?"

Ronan raised an eyebrow, at least judging from what had just happened, Peter Parker was not hopeless.

He is undoubtedly a little more mature than the other Peter Parker.

But only a little.

"Send me to the police station and then accuse me of espionage?"

Peter Parker asked tentatively.

When he said the answer, Ronan couldn't help but shake his head.

Sure enough, Peter Parker was only a sixteen-year-old kid after all.

He has no personal experience of this society at all.

"Sent you to the police station, and then told you to denounce them for dangerous experiments, and then released such a big lizard?"

Ronan asked rhetorically.

And this sentence once again made Peter Parker speechless.

"Most likely, they will find a way to send you to an unknown place, and then kill you, a hundred."

"Because they can't expose their experiments, disposing of you is the easiest solution."

"By that time, you still don't want to reveal Spider-Man's identity?"

Ronan looked at Peter Parker.

At this time, Peter Parker had already lowered his head.

What you can see is that he already knows how stupid his idea is just now.

Ronan's words weren't heavy at all, even light!

"Okay, that's probably a bit extreme, so let's talk about the other extreme."

"Maybe Osborne Industries' old brains pumped out, and they really handed you over to the police department."

"He's merely prosecuting you on charges of espionage."

"I don't know how many years you're going to be locked up for espionage, but I know that your uncle and aunt can't wait."

What Ronan said at this point was the same thing he had done to Gwen Stacy's family.

You can have your own job, your hobbies, and even have superhero dreams of saving the world.

But there is a premise.

Don't affect your own family or someone else's.

That's Ronan's bottom line.

"Peter, I don't know what you think, but I can probably understand you."

"It's a good thing that you have super powers and want to protect more people."

"But there's one principle you always have to remember."

"What you have to protect, first of all, your family, and then others."

"If your family is hurt because of you, you'll regret it."

Ronan patted Peter Parker on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Although he said a bit too much, it was limited to this time.

There was a brief silence throughout the "secret base", and Peter Parker kept his head down and did not speak.

Ronan sighed, maybe Peter Parker couldn't get used to these words now.

After all, every young person has some unrealistic dreams and some ridiculous self-esteem.

But that's all Ronan can say.

Peter Parker understands it or not, and in the end, that's it.

He stood up, ready to get out of here.

At least give Peter Parker some time to digest and digest.

Just as he reached the door, Peter Parker suddenly looked up.

"Ronan."

He stopped Ronan.

Ronan stopped and turned his head.

He looked at Peter Parker with some surprise, and he didn't know when, Peter Parker actually cried.

On his face, there are two more tear stains.

"Thank you Ronan, if it weren't for your words today, I wouldn't have known that I had forgotten such an important thing."

"Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei raised me, but I almost put them in danger because of some of my own ideas."

"Now that I think about it, I'm a little ridiculous."

Peter Parker's face had a sad look on his face.

His words were all from the bottom of his heart, and they were also what he wanted to say the most.

If it weren't for Ronan, he would really have put all his mind on studying that giant lizard.

And forget that someone is at home, because his every move, fate will change with it.

Once something goes wrong with Ben Parker and Mae Parker, Peter Parker feels that he must not forgive himself!

"I'm really happy that you think so."

"If you want to be a superhero, never show your true colors."

"Once your 'Peter Parker' face appears, it will definitely bring unimaginable consequences."

Ronan gestured to his face and smiled at Peter Parker.

And Peter Parker seemed to understand something, picked up Spider-Man's hood from the side, and put it on his head.

Seeing Peter Parker's action, Ronan smiled slightly, and a familiar secret door appeared behind him, gradually devouring his body.

Looking at where Ronan had disappeared, Peter Parker also took off his hood.

His eyes were glued to the mask of Spider-Man in front of him, and for the first time, he felt that the mask in front of him was so unfamiliar.

At the beginning, because he had superpowers, he immediately thought of Iron Man and Captain America.

These superheroes have protected many New York residents and are also loved by New York residents.

So, he wanted to be like them.

Coincidentally, both of them were wearing face shields, so he called it a day and made such a mask himself.

After putting on a face mask and using his abilities to punish evil and promote good, Peter Parker feels like he really has become a superhero.

Every day on the street not only thieves are caught, but also robbers and even people with guns.

Every time he saved someone, he felt that he had gained a point.

Gradually, he is not satisfied with solving these small things, but wants to do something big like Iron Man and Captain America!

As a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, this kind of psychology is actually very normal.

Young people always like the exciting future, and hate the dull and dull every day.

I always want to make some big news.

Finally, finally, he had waited so long for a big event!

This lizard attack.

By all accounts, this lizard is definitely not an ordinary lizard, and even has a unique intelligence.

Predictably, the black hand behind it is obviously even more terrifying.

So, it also stirred up Peter Parker's heart.

Since last night, he studied almost until half of the three o'clock, and finally slept in a daze until seven o'clock in the morning.

This is also the reason why he called Ronan so quickly this morning.

He wants to do big things!

However, when he explained his inner thoughts to Ronan today, Ronan's words at first were like pouring cold water on his head.

It was a little hard for him to accept.

After breakfast, he felt that he might not be caught.

So, he still wanted to try.

And the dialogue that followed made Peter Parker completely calm.

Because he never thought about what his uncle and aunt would do if something happened to him?

And today, Ronan told him this.

It wasn't until today that Peter Parker finally understood what a true superhero is.

A real superhero will not let those who care about him and love him be hurt a little bit.

If even they can't protect themselves, let alone protect others?

From this moment on, Peter Parker felt that he just deserved this hood, and this name.

"Thank you, Ronan."

"Sooner or later, I will be the best Spider-Man in the universe!"

Sorry for being late, the speed of the codeword has not yet returned to its peak, and I will wait for two days to get used to it, and it will start next month!!
