Chapter 529: A Critical Link

Bang bang bang.

The applause rang out, but it was very monotonous, because only Azu was applauding.

Azu was also puzzled, according to the routine of hero movies, it should be thunderous applause now, and then Spider-Man left the stage in the warm applause of the people.

However.

In the whole restaurant, he was the only one clapping.

Others looked at him with idiot eyes.

At this time, an old lady even picked up the wine glass and threw it at the spider girl: "Who told you to meddle in your business!" ”

This sentence actually resonated, and the people in the restaurant shouted.

"It's like, why come out and meddle with things."

"You freak, you are not welcome in Osben, get out of this city."

"Hurry up, we don't want to see you."

Pieces of debris were thrown at Spider-Woman, but of course, none of them hit.

Spider Girl looked at Azu and said, "Thank you." ”

Suddenly.

Her eyes flashed, as if she recognized Azu, and exclaimed softly: "You are, you are"

At this moment, sirens sounded outside the restaurant, and then police cars stopped outside the restaurant, and a sheriff shouted with a horn.

"Spider Girl, you're already surrounded, let's take it all together."

Spider-Woman gave Azu a deep look, then quickly left the restaurant in the other direction.

The sheriff immediately shouted, "Inform the Green Elf Guard, Spider-Woman will take care of them." ”

Then the police entered the cafeteria, and the hunters who were hanging from the ceiling shouted: "Get us down!" ”

Azu thought he had heard it wrong, as a robber, he actually asked the police to let him down, is this the power of 'legal'?

The policemen really let the hunters down, and at this time, the old lady pointed to Azudao just now.

"Mr. Sheriff, he's in the same league as Spider-Woman, and he applauded Spider-Woman just now."

Several policemen immediately looked at Azu.

"Sir, please show your identification and follow us back to the police station to assist in the investigation."

Of course, Azu was not interested, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I still have something, you see, I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I can't eat it now, so I can only change places." ”

"Why don't we talk about it another day?"

The policemen suddenly became nervous, pressed their guns in their hands, pointed at Azu, and said, "You can't go." ”

"Now we suspect that you are dangerous, turn around and lie on the ground so that we can see your hands!"

A hunter raised his gun at Azu and said, "What nonsense are you talking to him, I also saw that he applauded just now, maybe it is a wanted criminal!" ”

Bang!

He opened fire in public, and gunshots rang out, startling the police.

The bullet fell into Azu's hands.

He looked at the warhead in his palm, looked at the hunter, and smiled: "I kind of like this city. ”

With a flick of his fingers, a wave of air ejected, and the bullet returned the same way at the speed of sound, passing through the hunter's head.

The hunter looked blank, as if he didn't know what was happening, and his whole head exploded.

One of the policewomen got so close that she was drenched in blood, and she froze, then screamed.

Seeing this, the other policemen shouted: "Fire! Fire! ”

Shots rang out, and bullets went straight for Azu, hitting him in the head, chest, and arms.

But they all hit the deformation and fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, Azu's feet were full of deformed warheads.

The Hunters also joined the attack, their weapons with more firepower, especially since one of the Hunters had just used a multi-barrel cannon to strafe Spider-Woman.

Now this killing weapon is used on Azu's body, but they soon find out that Azu is not the same as Spider Girl.

The Spider Woman is able to shuttle through the rain of bullets with her nimble skills, but the man in front of her is standing still and letting them attack.

But whether it is a pistol or a multi-barreled cannon, it can't help the man in front of him.

Soon, the smell of gunpowder filled the entire restaurant, and both the police and the hunters ran out of bullets, so they could only stop attacking and look at Azu dumbfounded.

A moment later, the police outside the restaurant saw two golden beams of light suddenly shoot out of the window of the restaurant, and then swept across.

The beam was gone.

Then I saw a blond man with blue eyes smiling and walking out of the restaurant, and when he walked out, the building behind him suddenly displaced, and then collapsed with a bang.

The smoke and dust billowed and immediately submerged the man, and the smoke spread like a tsunami into the streets, and the whole world became gray.

The policemen covered their noses and mouths, fanning the air desperately, and when the smoke and dust cleared most of the time, there was still the man's figure.

At this time.

Cries, cries for help, and screams rang out from the ruins of the restaurant.

The police hurriedly called for support, and the scene was chaotic.

Osborne Building.

Harry. Osborne looked at his father.

Even now, every time he sees Norman. Osborne, it all feels unreal.

In his impression, his father has never been a strong person, and because of the family genetic disease, the whole person is even more skinny.

But now having dinner, Norman looks like a middle-aged man in his early forties, in the strongest stage of his life.

His face was ruddy, his eyes were attentive, and his hand holding a knife and fork was firm and strong.

Not like yourself.

Harry's hands were shaking slightly.

He was not afraid, but the 'curse' of the Osborne family began to kick in, an inexplicable family genetic disease that began to attack after he became an adult, and then would gradually eat away at his body until the moment of death came.

Norman. Osborne felt his son's gaze, he put down his knife and fork, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Harry."

"In the past few years, we have made great progress in genetic research."

"You see, my condition has been reversed."

"I am confident that the curse of our Osborne family will end in our generation."

Harry smiled, honestly, he didn't really believe his father's words.

He was sent away from a young age, and although he attended an aristocratic school, he had almost no intersection with Norman in the process of growing up, let alone any feelings.

Now when he heard his father say that he could end the curse in his generation, he was only half-convinced.

Harry said as he cut off a piece of calf loin, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Father, since you have the technology to reverse the condition, why don't you let me use it now?"

Norman smiled: "It's not the first time you've raised this question, how many times do you have to say it before you understand that the method I'm using is not mature enough." ”

"I was lucky to be able to reverse my condition, but in reality, I still have a genetic defect."

"Don't look at me as I'm healthy now, but in fact, I haven't gotten rid of the curse yet, and I'm still a critical part of it."

"So I hope that the technology will be fully mature and there will be no side effects, and it will be applied to you."

"You're my child, can I still hurt you?"

Harry smiled and said, "I believe you, father. ”

At this moment, the TV flashed a picture of a street in Osben, and it was not difficult to see from the screen that a building on this street had collapsed.

Firefighters and paramedics are calling for help, and the injured are being lifted out of the rubble and taken to ambulances.

A reporter took a microphone and said to the camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm on Osborne Avenue and there's a serious disaster in a restaurant here, and our reporter is reporting to you on the spot." ”

At this time, the reporter found an old lady with a slight injury for an interview: "Madam, hello. ”

"What's going on in the restaurant?"

The old lady cried out excitedly, "Demon! ”

"A demon has attacked us!"

"Just as I was having dinner, the hunting game began, and everything was going well, but at this time, that freak, that damn spider-woman, came out to meddle again."

"She caught all the lovely hunters and hung them on the ceiling of the dining room like gifts from a Christmas tree."

"It's nothing if it was just that, but there's a damn guy in the restaurant who actually applauds Spider-Woman."

"You heard it right, Mr. Reporter, he applauded Spider-Woman, I'm pretty sure that person is Spider-Woman's companion, maybe it's some kind of 'Spider Society' person."

"Those who are not in their minds are supporters of Spider-Woman, but tonight this guy is terrible, terrible, he's a demon."

"The police men shot at him, but he was unharmed, and finally he shot out of his eyes, a very strong light, and I thought I was blind at one point."

"He shot a golden light out of his eyes, and with a sweep of it, he cut the restaurant in half along with the police and gentlemen, and finally the restaurant collapsed, but fortunately there was a table next to me."

"I immediately got under the table and was lucky enough to get out of the way, by the way, my name is Catherine, and I run a candy shop on Norman Street, so everyone is welcome to come and try it."

The reporter hurriedly grabbed the old lady who took the opportunity to advertise her store, coughed dryly, and said to the camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard, such a terrible disaster has happened here." ”

"It just so happened that we got a car video recording of what happened in the restaurant at that time, so let's take a look."

Screen switching.

The Norman father and son saw a golden beam of light shoot out of the dining room on the screen, and then sweep across the dining room before disappearing.

Immediately after, a man walked out, and after he walked out, the restaurant collapsed.

At this point, the image rewinds, returning to the moment when the man appeared, and then the image freezes and zooms in.

Finally, a man with blond eyes appears on the screen with a smile on his face.

That's when it happened.

Harry. Osborne heard the sound of a knife falling to the ground, and when he turned around, he saw his father standing up, and his expression was agitated.

His knife fell to the ground.

It was the first time Harry had seen his father lose his temper like this.

Norman. Osborne pointed at the man on the screen and exclaimed feverishly, "It's him!" ”

"It's him!"

"Harry, he's the key to that!"

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Azu walked down the street.

After leaving the wrecked restaurant, Azu found a Chinese restaurant again to solve the dinner problem, and is now walking to the hotel to help digest the food at the same time.

On the way, he saw a car parked on the side of the road, the door opened, and two men rushed down, who snatched a woman's handbag at gunpoint.

He has witnessed three such things along the way.

If it's just that the crime rate is high, it's okay, but the strange thing is that those victims didn't immediately call the police after their rights and interests were violated, but instead looked happy, just like winning the jackpot, which made Azu puzzled.

In the end, he could only sigh: "Everyone in this city is crazy." ”

"Well, maybe not every single one."

"At least, there's a Gwen."

Just as he was walking through an alley, Azu stopped and looked into the alley.

In the shadows of the alley, a figure walked out.

It was a woman, slender and wearing a trench coat, and she wore the hat of the trench coat, revealing only her chin.

"Mr. John?"

She tried to shout.

Azu generously admitted, "It's me, long time no see, Miss Gwen." ”

The woman took off her hat and showed a beautiful face, although she was no longer the seventeen-year-old girl she had been, but it added a bit of mature style, making Azu feel like an apple was ripe.

Gwen looked excited, rushed over and hugged Azu, "It's really you!" ”

"It's great to see you again, Mr. John."

"I thought I was dreaming, but I didn't expect it"

Under the embrace of a mature woman, Azu naturally reacted, and he responded forcefully, and Gwen felt that something was wrong and quickly let go of his hand.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

Azu shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay, in fact, I don't mind if you hold it a little longer, after all, it is my honor to be hugged by a beautiful lady." ”

Gwen chuckled, then said, "Can we talk in a different place?" ”

"Of course."

"Please lead the way."

Azu followed Gwen to an apartment building that was remote, deserted, and staffed.

Before arriving in the room, Azu saw the addict, the pole dancer, and the homeless man in the corner with his coat in his coat.

However, Gwen's room was still very warmly furnished and clean, except for a small point, I couldn't fault anything.

"Sorry for making you laugh. Now I can only live here, after all, I can't afford the rent of those big apartments, and secondly, because of the other status, it will be very troublesome. ”

Gwen walked to the fridge: "Would you like something, beer or whiskey?" ”

Azu was a little surprised: "You still drink whiskey?" ”

Gwen pinned a few strands of hair that fell to her forehead behind her ears: "Considering the current environment, sometimes I wouldn't be able to sleep without it, so yes, I still drink whiskey." ”

Azu sat down on the sofa by the window: "Then let's have a glass of whiskey." ”

Soon, the wine with ice cubes came to Azu.

Azu picked up the cup and took a sip before looking at Gwen and said, "What has happened in the past few years?" ”

Although he learned some from the Internet, it was only superficial information, and only a 'native' like Gwen would understand it a little deeper. (End of chapter)
