Chapter 160: Someone Meets the Parents, Someone Accompanies the Lizard
It wasn't until Ronan left the plaza and entered the temple that Casillas felt lighter.
But he also sat directly on the ground.
Mordo glanced at him vigorously, shook his head helplessly, and turned away from him.
It was evident that he seemed to be very disappointed in Casillas.
Mordo's attitude, coupled with what Ronan had done to him, and the whispers of the mages next to him, were all seen by Casillas.
Especially those whispers, not ridicule, but more than ridicule that he could not accept!
How could he... So suddenly kneeling in front of Ronan!
What kind of magic did Ronan perform!
Actually, Casillas is a smart man, at least his IQ is above the horizon.
So his jealousy of Ronan was only hidden in his heart most of the time and was not written on his face.
But today he really couldn't help it.
Ronan, he's learned the form of Ackern!
To know this trick, he has been begging for a long time, but he has never been qualified to learn a trick!
How old is Ronan?
Why is he qualified to learn this trick?
Then, he finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and challenged Ronan.
But in the end, face is lost!
"Cassie, are you alright?"
At this moment, the "companion" who had been following Casillas before came to help him up.
The speed with which they came to help was comparable to that of the American police.
"Get out of here!"
Casillas broke free from the support of his companions, but still stumbled a little.
He didn't want people to see him so embarrassed.
He turned his head and looked at Ronan's back, infinite hatred welling up on his face.
Good!
Since none of you are willing to teach it to me, then I will think of another way myself!!
Sooner or later, you will regret your choice!!
-----------------
Walking into the temple, Gu Yi was still drinking tea here, and she didn't seem to hear anything about what was happening in the outside world.
"Teacher, I'm coming back to see you."
Ronan walked to the opposite side of the ancient one with a little bit of a weak heart and sat down.
After all, just now, he did something to Casillas.
In fact, he did it, but the way he used was somewhat insulting.
"Don't come back and be angry with me."
"The last time you promised me to let me meet your girlfriend, you've been dragging it out for more than a month."
"Do you want her to come directly to my funeral?"
Gu Yi glanced at Ronan and said with a blank face.
When Ronan heard this, his face was full of grievances.
It's not that he wants to drag it out for more than a month, it's not your good apprentice in the 616 universe, Strange.
If it weren't for him, how could he have disappeared for a month inexplicably!
Also, what does it mean to attend your funeral.
If you want to attend the funeral, you should also attend her funeral.
"Teacher, let's talk about what happened outside the door just now."
"I feel like I'm at fault, I've definitely made a big mistake by treating my fellow students like that."
"So, I decided to punish myself for facing the wall for a month, and when I am released from prison a month later, I will come back to see you!"
After saying that, Ronan planned to open the boil.
He didn't expect that the first time he saw Gu Yi today was to be "urged to marry".
Of course, although this is not a marriage urging, what is the difference between it and a marriage urging?
Isn't the first step before marriage for both parents to see if the man/woman is suitable?
It's also a bit too fast.
"If you really want to admit punishment, then I agree with it."
"You go to the top of the sixth mountain in the north, there is a cave where I used to practice many years ago."
"You're going to think about it for a month."
"As for the school, I'll allow you to use your clone to go to class."
Gu Yi looked at Ronan with a smile, this scene can be called a model of master and apprentice, teacher and student!
Ronan, on the other hand, stiffened slightly, and his feet, which he had originally wanted to walk, stopped in place.
Thought about going to that hellish place?
It's better to kill him directly!
"Teacher, let's talk about the time you will meet Gwen!"
"I think it's time for you to meet."
Ronan said righteously.
He definitely didn't want to escape from going to that ghost wall, he just understood an old man's heart of wanting to see his children get married early.
He's such a soft-hearted person, there's no way.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not in the habit of persecuting people, and I respect other people's opinions."
The Ancient One still looked at Ronan with a smile.
Well?
Why is this so familiar?
Ronan was stunned, but quickly nodded, he was absolutely voluntary in this matter, and the ancient one did not force him.
"I tentatively set the time for next weekend, because she went to her grandmother's house this weekend, so she won't be back."
"The rest of the time is too urgent, so I won't consider it for the time being."
"What do you think of this point in time?"
Ronan asked for the Ancient One's opinion.
It's not that he can't even decide on this, it's just that it's about Kama Taj.
As an organization that has been hidden on Earth for thousands of years, everyone who comes here will basically become a mage of Kama Taj.
Moreover, they will also follow the rules of Kama Taj and not reveal a single thing.
But Gwen Stacy is different, she is destined to be less likely to join Kama Taj, so there is no way to follow the rules.
"Don't worry, you just need to schedule a time and bring her over."
"As for the rest, I'll take care of it."
Gu Yi didn't give Ronan any excuse to shirk, and directly agreed.
The time is set for next week.
Ronan couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that the progress of the two people would be so fast?
How long has it been since I went to meet my parents?
Although it is said that last time Ronan went to her house with Gwen Stacy.
But that time, it always felt that it was not so formal, but more like a game deliberately set up by George Stacy in order to lure out who kidnapped his daughter.
It's just that the person who entered the game was not Ronan, but the unlucky S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau.
-----------------
At the same time that Ronan was "urged to marry", Peter Parker on the other side was not idle.
After being woken up by Ronan's words, Peter Parker also dismissed his plan to go to Osborne Industries to steal information, and instead went to work normally.
Osborne Industries gives a lot of money, and interns like Peter Parker can get paid 200 dollars a week.
Don't look at the numbers as small, but for a high school student, that's a lot of money.
Especially for a family like Peter Parker, whose family background is not very good, it is already a little difficult to support him in school.
So, these two hundred dollars can solve a lot of Peter Parker's troubles.
And Osborne Industries is not short of 200 dollars, and their idea is very simple, in exchange for the favor of these interns, even if these people do not develop into the scientists they need in the end, it doesn't matter.
But as long as there is one person, in the end, it develops into what they want to be, and they are chosen.
Then the investment is well worth it.
And Peter Parker was undoubtedly one of their targets.
Walking into Osborne Industries, swiping his card to enter the company, Peter Parker walked into the laboratory with familiarity.
However, to his surprise, the laboratory, which had been busy, was very deserted today.
There was no one at the workstation, not even the lights on.
"It's ......"
Peter Parker walks into the lab and bumps into Dr. Connors who has hurried out.
"Dr. Connors, what's going on?"
"Are you off today?"
Peter Parker hurriedly asked.
"Don't you know, Peter?"
"The lab has been shut down and the staff have gone on vacation."
"From today onwards, you can use it too."
Dr. Connors was devoid of his former kindness, replaced by a very strange emotion.
If it was because the lab was closed, he should have been frustrated, but he didn't.
If he was angry because of this, there was no sign of anger on his face.
Now Dr. Connors gave Peter Parker the feeling that he didn't care about any of these things.
"That's... Doctor, can I have the opportunity to do an internship in other labs? ”
Just as Dr. Connors was about to leave, Peter Parker stopped him again.
This time, Dr. Connors had an angry look in his eyes.
"I don't mean anything else, and you know, my family isn't very good."
"So I need this part-time job to help me support my family, after all, 200 US dollars a week is really precious to me."
Peter Parker quickly explained.
At this moment, he just happened to see the table on the other side.
On the table, there is a broken test chamber.
Hearing Peter Parker's words, Dr. Connors took a deep breath and stopped.
"You go to another group, and it's still the same salary."
"As for ......"
Dr. Connors keenly observed Peter Parker's gaze, and his mood became agitated once more.
This time, he didn't give Peter Parker a chance to speak, so he directly pushed Peter Parker's arm away and walked out quickly.
Peter Parker was pushed by him and staggered.
Seeing Dr. Connors' back leaving, Peter Parker didn't follow, but turned his head to look at the test chamber.
He was familiar with this transparent test chamber, which was usually used to test mice.
It's just that most of the guinea pigs can't stand the test, and the end will be miserable.
He slowly approached the table, only to see the bottom of the chamber broken, glass spilling to the floor.
And right next to the glass, there is a little mouse, gnawing on the corpse of its companion.
As Peter Parker approached it, the mouse, which was still immersed in eating, suddenly stood up.
Not only is it more than two laps larger than similar mice, but it even has an extremely murderous expression!
At this moment, Peter Parker knew that last night's lizard must have something to do with this laboratory!
Subconsciously, he wanted to look for evidence in the laboratory.
But soon, he held back again.
He thought of what Ronan had told him earlier, so he looked around again warily.
Who knows if there are any hidden cameras around here.
While it's illegal in the U.S. to use cameras to monitor employees' work, security cameras are not.
So, instead of moving, Peter Parker took a closer look around with his eyes.
Since it's illegal to flip things around, it's not illegal to look at them with your eyes, right?
After checking around, Peter Parker found that all the equipment used for experiments on a daily basis had disappeared by this time.
I don't know where I was moved.
He's not a full-time employee, so he didn't come as early as the others, and he probably moved in the morning.
Now, it's no different from a normal office.
After confirming that there was nothing, Peter Parker did not hesitate and turned to leave.
He wanted to catch up with Dr. Connors and ask what was going on.
Unfortunately, by the time he chased him outside Osborne's industrial gate, Dr. Connors was gone.
Peter Parker took a deep breath, and this clue was broken from here.
According to Dr. Connors, the lab was to be closed from now on, meaning that Dr. Connors would not see anyone for a long time.
So, it's almost impossible to get an answer from Dr. Connors.
In that case, Peter Parker would have to figure out a way from the lizard.
After seeing the lizard last night, there was no sign of him.
The police of the New York Police Department have been searching for a morning, but unfortunately nothing has come out.
Peter Parker could only walk down the road and think of a solution.
Although he could have consulted with Ronan, when he thought of this, he vetoed it himself.
It's not that he doesn't want to find it, but he wants to try it on his own.
In his opinion, if you want to become a superhero, you must go through a lot of tribulations.
Now, it's his best chance.
Not one of them.
If he can successfully take this step, he will definitely be able to make himself stronger.
Not physically strong, but spiritually strong.
At the same time, because of Ronan's words, the degree of secrecy of his identity must be adjusted to the maximum.
The only thing left to do now is to find out where the lizard is hiding.
What is there that can not only be discovered by the police, but also perfectly hide the size of that lizard?
Peter Parker was the first to think of the suburbs.
It's sparsely populated, and there are plenty of places like his "secret base" that are perfect for hiding.
But this idea was quickly rejected by him again.
Because there is still a long, long way from the bridge where the accident occurred to the farm in the suburbs.
That lizard is so big that it will definitely be seen, so the police will definitely pay attention.
However, Peter Parker learned from the police channel that they had no intention of moving closer to a suburban farm.
Even, they have found an accurate location.
This was ruled out by him.
So what's next?
While Peter Parker was meditating, suddenly, he spotted a small lizard on the ground.
The little lizard staggered briskly across the street, and in a manhole cover, went straight in.
The movements of this little lizard reminded Peter Parker at once.
I want to hide such a big figure perfectly, and I have to disappear from the public's view in a short time.
There's no better place to go than a sewer!
Thinking of this, Peter Parker hurriedly took out his mobile phone and rummaged through the route map of the underground waterway.
He found the clue!
On the other side, Dr. Connors was not idle.
At this time, he was hiding in a very hidden sewer, experimenting with himself.
Because Osborne Industries had canceled his research project, he gave the entire lab seven days off.
After taking the relevant equipment from the laboratory, he moved it all here.
Although it is filled with groundwater throughout New York, the smell is unpleasant.
But if you want to find a place in New York that is safe, doesn't require money, and won't even be noticed by anyone.
That sewer inside, without a doubt, is one of the best options.
At this time, the camera is recording him, and he is telling the changes in his body last night.
"Subject, Dr. Curtis Connors, has a temperature of 89.7 and has been stable for 48 hours."
"Blood analysis shows that the text of lymphocytes and monocytes contains information about the previous subject."
Dr. Connors was talking to the camera, and what he didn't know was that not far from him, Peter Parker, who had changed into a Spider-Man suit, was falling into the underground waterways with his flexible spider silk.
There was not a single movement during the whole process!
"The rate of blood clotting has increased rapidly, and there has been a significant improvement in muscle response, strength, and flexibility."
Dr. Connors was recording the changes in his body.
Peter Parker, on the other side, is firing spider silk one after another towards the sewer pipes in all directions.
He didn't let go of every pipe, and he didn't just launch one.
As Peter Parker launches spider silk one after another, these overlapping spider silks, centered on Peter Parker, form a huge "spider web".
Peter Parker, who was lying on it, could spot it as soon as there was a movement on a spider's silk.
This is the method that spiders use to predict the enemy's situation.
Sometimes, this is more useful than spider sensing.
But Dr. Connors was unaware of all that he was doing.
Because at this moment, he is taking off his glasses and looking at the camera with a complicated face.
"Vision has improved accordingly, and the subject no longer needs to wear vision correction lenses."
"It's not about finding a cure for disease, it's... But... Find the path to the perfect species! ”
Dr. Connors took a deep breath as he began to tremble and unbutton his right arm.
Because he knows that after years of hard research, he has finally reached the most important link!
If we say that last night's situation, it may have been accidental.
Now, then, he wants to develop this kind of accident into an inevitable !!
"Try to stop the recurrence of the old disease, increase the dose to 200 mg!"
Dr. Connors looked at the camera and pointed the syringe at his right arm with some excitement.
The right arm, which grew perfectly last night, is now a stump again.
Whew...
Without the slightest hesitation, Dr. Connors plunged the syringe into his right arm.
As the potion inside was slowly injected, a touch of madness gradually appeared on Dr. Connor's face.
Bang!
He pushed down the camera in front of him, as proud as he was, and didn't want others to know how ugly he was after his transformation!
And on the other side.
Peter Parker was sitting in his cobwebs, playing a mobile game.
Do you think he has the bottom in his heart?
Not really.
He had only guessed one of the possibilities, and following that possibility, he would wait here for an afternoon.
If nothing happens, then he can withdraw then.
Anyway, I didn't have a part-time job for him today.
Before that, he had already sent his guess to Ronan, who presumably had reported it to the police.
So, what he has to do now is to test the strength of this lizard.
If he can win, then he will directly catch the lizard back.
If not......
Then he has other options!
Find backup!
Airplanes!
With a vibrating sound, Peter Parker, who was still playing the game, suddenly flipped up from the spider's web.
A spider silk, like a zither string, began to make a sound.
He looked at the vibrating spider silk on his left, and then looked at the corresponding pipe.
If he guessed correctly, the lizard would have ...... from that side
However, before he could think clearly, the spider silk on the other side vibrated again!
The sound of the vibration attracted Peter Parker's attention, and he quickly turned around and looked to the other side.
Is it over here?
It's a pity that in the next second, the spider silk under his feet began to shake chaotically and disorderly!
At this moment, Peter Parker was a little panicked.
His idea of creating this spider web was to find out where the other party came from and prepare in advance.
But now it seems that his method seems to have completely failed!
A large black shadow appeared on one of the pipes, but when Peter Parker was ready to fight.
He suddenly discovered that the one walking on the spider silk was actually a small lizard of normal size!
Before he could react, more and more lizards began to move in one direction along the spider silk.
That's right, all the little lizards seemed to have received some kind of command, and began to move in the same direction.
This is a very special phenomenon!
You know, lizards don't live in groups.
They only gather together when mating, and other times, they are territorial!
What keeps them coming together and moving in the same direction.
Except that there's something in that place that draws them in.
It's also possible that some powerful leader is telling them to surrender!
Peter Parker put on his hood, hid his face under the hood, and began to follow the direction of the little lizard.
If he guessed correctly, the location of these little lizards is where the big lizard is!
As the king of lizards, that huge lizard is enough for these little lizards to submit.
As Peter Parker moved forward a little bit, he had penetrated deep into the pipeline.
However, at this time, a huge figure shrouded him in shadows!
