After the "black light virus" devours the organism, it has the function of absorbing the memory of the organism.

And it can be transformed into the appearance of an absorbed living body, mimicking the generated life form, almost exactly the same as the original owner.

The principle is not complicated, when the virus comes into contact with the surface of the organism, it quickly senses the hardness, texture, and size of the material, and obtains the color data, and after the absorption is completed, it can alienate itself into the data just obtained.

After changing his appearance and turning into mutant Huey, Peter stretched out his arm.

With a slight movement of his mind, his right hand was alienated and distorted, and the black tentacles squirmed, and after a few moments, it turned into a sharp hand knife.

The blade part is a metal blade formed by cell alienation, emitting a black-red shimmer, which is extremely eye-catching on a rainy night.

After devouring mutants, the other party's talent is also mastered by himself.

However, compared to the original host's hand knife, the hand knife evolved from the "Black Light Virus" is heavier, and the blade is no longer made of bone, and the appearance looks more metallic.

Feeling the alienated "mantis hand knife", Peter suddenly swung his hand knife forward.

The sound of breaking the air sounded, and the hand knife in the process of swinging, with the force of the waist and abdomen, as well as the power conversion skills, continued to accelerate in the process of swinging, like an afterimage, cutting through the dark curtain of the rainy night.

The hand knife, which accelerates suddenly during the swing, will indeed catch people off guard if it is used during the battle.

Pity......

Peter shook his head.

This time you're not meeting normal humans.

Turning the knife back into its normal form, he re-read the other party's memories.

Huey. Hoffman, who grew up in a Catholic family, was a mutant and was rightfully disgusted and hated by his parents.

Like all rebellious American teenagers, he struggled with self-awareness and couldn't escape, so he chose to run away from home.

After some twists and turns, he came to Hell's Kitchen to join the gang and become a subordinate of Kim.

At first, he was just an ordinary miscellaneous fish, but later because of his brave and ruthless personality, he became a full-time killer of the gang.

With the innate talent of mutants, he created countless blood debts and gradually became a cold-blooded animal.

"As a natural villain, it's a good thing to do."

For Huey. After Hoffman read the eulogy, Peter took two steps forward and picked up the headset on the ground.

The headset hadn't been absorbed by him, and it was still working, and there was an anxious sound from inside.

"Praying mantis? You okay? Hey, praying mantis?! ”

A hurried female voice called out to Huey.

"I'm fine, the other party has been killed by me."

Peter becomes Huey, and his voice becomes exactly the same as the other's.

He pretended to be Huey and spoke back to the headset.

"Thank goodness I thought something had happened to you, did that bastard who robbed the laundry die?"

The woman on the other end of the headset breathed a sigh of relief after confirming Huey's safety.

"He who is dead cannot die anymore. I still have something to do, so turn off the communicator first. ”

After saying that, he ripped off the headset and crushed it.

After inheriting Huey's memories, he also knows something about the Kim gang syndicate.

Considering that his current strength is not enough to start a high-profile war with others, he chooses to stabilize the other party for the time being.

Use Huey's identity to talk to the other party, so that the other party thinks that the person who robbed the laundry is dead, and Huey himself disappears with the money.

So that the other party will focus on the mutant Huey.

Throwing the shattered headset to the ground, Peter stepped on the rain at his feet and walked slowly.

The other side.

At this time, George, who had already completed the exploration of the site. Stacy, coming out of the room with her partner.

The two of them happened to pass Peter.

Since Peter was wearing Huey's appearance at this time, George did not recognize him.

After the two passed by, George stopped, looked back, and stared at Peter walking in the rain, his brow furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his partner staring at a white strong man, Jeff asked him suspiciously, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"No, it's just ...... There was a weird feeling that the other party was ......"

"Not like a good person, is it?"

Jeff interrupted George, "There's no good guy in this place, so don't be surprised. ”

George shook his head, looked away, and got into the police car with his partner.

The rain is getting tighter and heavier, and the "whooshing" rain makes the city quickly turn white.

......

The next morning, it was sunny after the rain.

Queens, forest hills.

"We received a letter in the mail from Midtown High School."

Ben took a stack of papers from his mailbox and handed the top letter to May.

"Midtown High School?"

Mei took the letter suspiciously, "This is the first time the school has notified us in this way. ”

She said as she opened the envelope and read the words on it.

“...... So, the whole school staff raised money in Peter's name. Peter was a very good student, he helped a lot of people in school, and we believe that this accident was not intentional on his part. ”

"Due to the position of the school, we have decided to take the form of anonymity, and we hope that you will accept our help."

Hearing May's words, Ben leaned over in surprise.

Mei looked up at her husband in surprise and continued to read:

"We want to help you get through this as soon as possible, and the faculty and staff across the school have made this donation...... Finally, I would like to extend my best wishes. ”

After reading all the words on the letter, May pulled out a stack of bills from the envelope.

I counted it, and it was exactly $2,500.

It took dozens of seconds for Mei to come back to her senses from the shock, "This ..... Is this true? ”

"Wow, Peter is such a likable kid!"

Ben took the letter from his wife, his words full of joy and pride.

Mei held the banknote, her hand trembling slightly, "This..... It's the best thing I've ever experienced in my life! ”

There was irrepressible excitement in her tone.

"Yes, we should be proud of Peter."

Ben said to his wife with relief.

On the other side, Peter on the second floor, with his back against the wall, listened to the conversation between the two below.

Naturally, the letter was not mailed by the school, and the dollars in it were not donated by the whole school staff.

He didn't make a special contribution to the school, and he wasn't one of the top ten people in the United States, so how could the school be dizzy and raise donations for him?

The letter was written by him, and he stuffed it with the dollars he stuffed inside.

As for the source of the banknotes, it was the ill-gotten gains looted from the laundromat last night.

Considering that it was impossible for Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei to accept him as a high school student and get a lot of money for no reason, he could only use this way.

"Peter, are you upstairs? Maybe you should come down and take a look, we received a great gift. ”

Aunt Mei's voice came from downstairs.

"I'm here."

Peter adjusted his mood, pretended to be fine, and walked downstairs to the two of them.
