Chapter 17 Just take a bite
Evening, sunset, afterglow,
Sprinkled on the street guarded by tall buildings on both sides.
The asphalt of the street comes and goes, or the traffic is jammed with it,
The sidewalks on both sides of the street are densely packed, staggered and non-stop walking migrant workers and students after school, looking hurried and fast.
It's one of New York's most everyday streetscapes.
Suddenly, a black figure came out of the corridor and fell to the ground, causing passers-by to panic in circles.
The black figure is wrapped in a bodysuit, covered with some white vertical stripes.
The eyes are two triangular fly eyes, the body is thick and the upper limbs are thick, and the waist and lower limbs are much thinner, and the whole presents a thin inverted triangle.
At the same time, the arms are as thick and long as ape, the five fingers are long and sharp, and the forearms, shoulders, and head are barbed.
The black figure quickly got up, not looking at the others, jumped high and jumped up to the floor, grabbing the wall with its thick claws like a werewolf, and then kicked its legs and jumped to the other wall again.
He moved quickly through the streets in such a way that he was even a little embarrassed, as if he was running away.
In the rear, another figure followed closely behind, with huge black wings behind it, like angels, causing the passers-by on the ground to exclaim again.
Of course, although people were surprised by the sudden appearance of two superhuman or non-human monsters, and they were also familiar with avoiding emergency dangers, they were not overly panicked.
After all, that's what happens in New York.
And the figure flying in mid-air with black wings is naturally Peter in a slaughter vest.
He looked at the symbiote jumping and running from the building, and his figure gradually became smaller.
Shortly after capturing the Green Whip, he quickly caught traces of another symbiote.
Even, the identity of this symbiote is a little special.
……
Devouring the hasty escape, looking back, he was relieved to see that the slaughter did not immediately catch up.
"Why are you so afraid of him?" The owner of this body, the host that devoured the present, spoke.
"I'm not afraid of him." Devouring retorted.
"No, you're scared, I'm all too familiar with it, and I used to be too."
“……”
"I didn't!"
"You're ...... Obviously"
"Tell me again, I ate you!"
“…… Okay, okay. ”
Seeing that the host had softened, Devouring was silent for a moment before saying:
"It wasn't so much fear as I felt threatened on a life level. I can feel that if I don't run, I'll die, and so will you. ”
"Didn't you say before that although you can't beat the other party, the other party can't do anything about you in a short time?" The host asked again.
Devouring was a little irritated by the opponent's straight ball, the problem of not saving face, the ghost knows what crazy he has done to choose such a weak guy as the host,
"Hell, how do I know? He hadn't had those wings before, it was like a different person. ”
He seemed to be safe for the time being, and finally found a laneway where no one was around.
Then, the black fluid wriggled and contracted, and soon regained into the host's body, revealing the host's appearance.
It's actually Peter and Gwen's former high school classmates, Gordon!
Unlike Jessica, who is very coincidental and naturally obtains ice blue parasitism,
The reason why Gordon was able to get the choice to devour it started a long time ago.
When he was in high school, Gordon was devastated by the school bully in his class because of his thin body and cowardly personality.
He even refused Gwen and Peter's help.
But in the later incident of the lizardman attacking the campus, he rarely broke through himself, stood up and slightly restrained, attracted the attention of the lizardman, and helped Gwen.
Although this matter was only known to a few people who were the parties involved, it undoubtedly changed Gordon's mentality a little and made the rest of his life happen...... Well, his life still hasn't changed.
He was still the skinny nerd Gordon, timid, weak, and incapable of resisting.
Expecting a choice and a breakthrough to completely change your life, how can it be so easy?
But to say that nothing has changed at all is not really.
The easiest way to change the world is to change yourself first, at least this step, he did it a little.
In the past, he would only be incompetent and resentful of the world.
Why is it so unfair, why is he so weak.
But now he gradually accepted it all, began to become calm, and gradually discovered more colors of the world.
He has a best role model, Peter Parker!
The other party used to be like him, but then he was the first to change, and Gordon felt that Peter was his goal.
Unfortunately, he heard that Peter disappeared during the alien invasion later, which also made him sad for a long time.
Then, after graduating from high school, he was admitted to a fairly good university.
Like many people, he also had a crush on a girl for the first time, but he didn't dare to talk about it.
He's still the humble Gordon.
Originally, in the future, he should be like most ordinary people, graduate, work, start a family, and then grow old.
Until just now, he saw a guy on the side of the road who was surrounded in a corner and intimidated.
The guy was as skinny as he was, making Gordon feel as if he had seen his past self.
Somehow, maybe a little overwhelmed, even a little hesitant, but he still stood up to stop this violence.
Then, the object of the other party's violence becomes him.
The rich experience in the past told him that at this time, he could only admit it obediently, otherwise he would only be beaten worse.
Just as he was about to accept his fate and be beaten, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears,
"Do you want to gain power?"
This voice is naturally the devouring that has just crossed over.
Devouring is a bit worse than Ice Blue, but in terms of frontal combat, he can also beat Ice Blue.
Unlike Ice Blue, he has his own habits for choosing hosts, and in fact, most mature symbiotes have certain requirements for their hosts.
It's like a blind date, falling in love, your other half always has to match your XP and get along.
And one of the most important xps in devouring and selecting hosts is the courage and kindness of the other party.
At least in that case, Gordon was the most suitable person, so to speak.
But what was also devouring was that Gordon really refused him without thinking about it,
"Nope."
Then, naturally, Gordon was beaten up and robbed of cash.
Gordon's reason for refusing is also very simple,
This kind of voice that suddenly pops up, and there is no reason for it, what if it is an Internet fraud?
You know, this is not the time when the superhumans have just emerged, the aliens have invaded, and the people have more or less popularized a little knowledge of related aspects.
At least, according to the plot in the movie, this kind of thing is generally not a good thing, and it may even be some demon eyeing him,
This couldn't help but make Gordon's heart chuckle and send a chill down his spine.
If it was him in the past, he might have responded to this kind of unexplained demagoguery because of resentment,
But he was vigilant enough when he saw the lizardmen, who could say for sure this kind of unknown thing, he didn't want to be like that,
And Gordon, who has gradually accepted his ordinariness, is also calm and rational enough to refuse this temptation.
Knowing that Gordon wanted to devour the symbiote, he laughed angrily, he is a positive energy symbiote who guards the order, do you think he is a chaotic madman like Venom!?
Gordon even wanted to go to the priest to exorcise the demon, which really made Devouring a little nervous.
But at the same time, Devouring also admired Gordon more and more in his heart,
No way, who told him to take this bite?
As the saying goes, a good girl is afraid of being entangled,
There is also a saying that women chase men, and the interlayer yarn.
After devouring bitterness and repeatedly reassuring himself that he was a good symbiote, Gordon finally wavered.
And at this time, Peter, who was wearing a slaughtering vest, also killed in front of the two,
In a critical situation, Gordon can only merge with Devour, and Devour guarantees that they will be able to deal with each other after merging.
And then...... And then there was no then.
devoured and slaughtered two big bidous in one dozen, and was directly stunned,
He didn't know when the slaughter was so far from him, and when he came back to his senses, he turned around and fled.
That's what happened just now.
After being included in the body, devouring did not waste time, and directly asked:
"Where are the superheroes of your world? We need their help and we have to reach them. ”
Speaking of superheroes, Gordon immediately thought of Spider-Woman, the first superhero he came into contact with, but she has disappeared for most of the year.
This made Gordon hesitate.
It was at this moment that
"Gordon?"
"Who?"
Gordon looked up towards the source of the sound.
I saw Spider Girl climbing on the wall, looking at him in surprise.
