Chapter 115: How Bad Is the Soul!
"You call it Bloodstone?"
Peter looked at the blood-red stone on his desk.
"Uh-huh."
Gwen didn't intend to hide it from Peter, and told him all about the wonderful adventure she had had in the museum yesterday.
"I don't know why the ghost appeared, but if I send this stone to his daughter, it might help him."
"But it looks like this Ulysses. Bloodstone isn't simple. ”
After listening to Gwen's story, Peter pondered for a moment, then looked up and spoke to her.
"So you believe I'm not lying to you, Peter?"
Gwen blinked and asked Peter, "Do you believe in ghosts?" ”
"It's Halloween after all, anything magical can happen, maybe the ghost is released."
Peter picked up the bloodstone and held it in the palm of his hand to look closely.
A cold feeling came over him.
With an unspeakable force, it spread along his arm to his whole body.
And this force seems to want to lure itself to occupy him.
If you are an ordinary person, it is indeed easy to be affected by this kind of existence.
But
Placing the Bloodstone on the table, Peter shook his head slightly.
His body has been completely transformed into the category of abnormal people by the "black light virus", and his spirit has become a collection of countless devourers.
Plus the "talisman of life" in your hand.
Wanted to have an impact on his soul.
He didn't even know how bad his soul was.
"How?"
Watching Peter put down the Bloodstone, Gwen asked expectantly.
"It's really unusual, and when you hold it in your hand, you have a special feeling."
He also knew a little about the legend of the Bloodstone family in his previous life.
In the Marvel world, in addition to the well-known Avengers story on the surface, there is also a dark side hidden under the iceberg.
For example, the vampires and blade warriors he once met in the Green Graveyard, Doctor Morbius in the Night, Moon Knight, the Council of Criminals, vampires, werewolves, evil spirits, etc., these dark creatures also exist.
One of them, the legendary Bradstone, is a member of the hunt for dark monsters.
The head of the family is Ulysses. Bradstone, the super magic weapon for hunting monsters is "Bloodstone".
In addition, the Bloodstone is also a holy weapon in the hearts of monster hunters, similar to the heirloom jade seal, once the bloodstone is owned, who is the natural leader of the demon hunter group.
Considering the importance of the Bloodstone, Peter did not think that such a fist-sized "heirloom jade seal" would fall in the museum.
He picked up the bloodstone again and looked at it in front of him.
Ignore the cold feeling that dips into the bone marrow and feel the touch of the whole stone.
I see.
Soon he realized how special this stone was.
With a slight amount of pressure in his hand, the craggy surface of the bloodstone began to fall off.
Like the surface of a falling rock shattering, a fist-sized piece of bloodstone finally shattered into countless smaller pieces.
Gwen, who is narrating, watches Peter's actions and her eyes widen.
"What happened? Peter? ”
"I don't know, it looks like the bloodstone shattered on its own."
Peter, in Gwen's puzzled gaze, reached out and began to search for the shattered fragments of bloodstone.
Finally, he took out a blood-red fragment the size of a finger and said to Gwen, "This should be the real bloodstone, and what was wrapped in it just now was just an ordinary ruby." ”
Gwen half-incredulously took the fragment from Peter's hand, a familiar but more intense sensation invading her fingers.
She put the piece down and picked up the others, finding that they didn't give her any feeling.
"Okay."
Gwen looked at the bloodstone, which had more than doubled in size, with some frustration, and said, "I know why it was placed in the museum, it turned out to be such a small piece. ”
"So you're going to give it to Elsa too. Bloodstone? ”
Peter asked her.
"Of course, after all, what you promised others must be done."
Gwen stood up and smiled at Peter, "But before I do, I'm going to fix my stomach first, let's go to dinner together." ”
"Now?"
"Of course."
Gwen came up and hugged Peter's arm affectionately.
"To celebrate the discovery of a big secret for me, I treat you to dinner."
The two walked down the street, towards Gwen's favorite restaurant nearby.
"MJ invited our band to help out in the drama club."
Gwen suddenly talked about the band.
"So you're going to perform together?"
Peter thought of Mary Jane's invitation to him.
If the two perform on the same stage, can I be regarded as enjoying the performance of the two girlfriends of "Spider-Man" on the same stage.
"Probably not."
Gwen said in a muffled voice, "We don't have a good relationship with MJ recently, but she's Mary again. Former lead singer of the band Jens. ”
Although she was very concerned about the quarrel with Mary Jane before, she was not the kind of girl who was always cautious.
She doesn't make decisions for others for her own personal reasons.
The band is not alone, Betty and Growley are also part of the band.
"I can't tell."
Gwen suddenly changed her tone and said, "Leave this kind of thing to Betty and the others to decide, my head hurts enough anyway." ”
"Do you have a headache?"
Hearing Gwen say that he had a headache, Peter stopped and reached out to try it on her forehead.
There is no fever.
"Went to the doctor?"
"It's all right now."
Gwen enjoyed Peter's concern, and held Peter's arm tighter.
"It's more of a psychological 'headache' than a physical one, so don't worry."
"That's good."
The two of them were talking as they turned the corner.
Smoke in the distance caught their eyes.
"Something happened!"
When Gwen saw the smoke and the fire truck, she quickly took Peter's hand and ran towards the scene of the accident.
The scene of the accident was at an intersection, where several cars collided and caused a fire.
Surrounded by fire trucks fighting fires and paramedics who began to treat the wounded.
Gwen hurriedly asked the nearest police officer, "What happened?" ”
"Serious accident!"
The police seemed to know Gwen, the daughter of Captain Stacey, and instead of scolding or driving her away, they took off their police hats and said to Gwen: "We don't know the cause of the accident, but at least eight cars were involved in the accident. ”
"As for the rest, we can smell the fuel, there are several cars leaking, and we have to wait for the special equipment to arrive before we can continue the investigation."
Before the policeman could finish his words, a woman's shout suddenly sounded not far away.
"Help! There are still people who don't get out of the car! ”
Gwen and Peter heard the voice, turned their heads and found a woman being pulled by the police, crying and throwing herself into the smoking car.
"I suddenly found out that I had something to do, Peter, give me a few minutes, and I'll be right over!"
Seeing that someone was trapped, Gwen hurriedly left the place to change the spider's costume and prepare to save people.
Seeing that Gwen was in a hurry to save someone, Peter shook his head slightly.
Sure enough, the greater the responsibility, the more trouble.
"Bang!"
In the next second, a car crowded at the exit was violently pushed away.
The loud sound of the car being pushed away attracted the attention of those present.
Peter looked away and saw a "Superwoman" pushing the car straight away.
The other party was wearing blue jeans, a black sweatshirt on the upper body, and a low hood covering her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance.
Jessica. Jones? ”
Peter looked at his classmate who suddenly appeared, and his expression was slightly surprised.
"Ho!"
Pushing away the cars at the entrance, Jessica walked over to the cars that had collided with each other and were almost stacked in a heap.
The cars that collide with each other are stacked on top of each other, like a mountain of garbage for vehicle combinations.
Flames and smoke are constantly spreading, and the slightest carelessness can cause even bigger explosions.
Jessica pulled her hood down, covering half of her face, and then jumped up to the top of the highest car.
Since she was already able to fly, she could hang her feet in the air to avoid a bigger accident if she stepped on the car.
"Hey, girl, are you okay in there?"
Jessica saw a little girl in the car underneath at a glance.
The little girl of five or six years old was helplessly holding the doll and looking at Jessica above her head.
"It's okay, you'll be okay, I'll get you out."
Jessica comforted the little girl and slowly descended, approaching the car at the bottom.
"Can you unlock the door for me?"
She tried to get the little girl to unlock the door.
"I know you shouldn't be able to talk to strangers, but I'm not a stranger, I'm the one who came to save you, and I need you to unlock the door right now. I know you're scared, and I'm scared too, but as long as you press the lock, we can make it. ”
Perhaps it was Jessica's words that made the little girl lose her guard, and she moved her body and pressed the lock of the car door with difficulty.
"Click!"
When the door lock is pressed, the door opens with it.
"Good girl."
Jessica reached out and hugged the little girl.
"What's your name?"
Holding the little girl, Jessica asked her.
"Alice."
"Alice, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Holding the little girl, Jessica prepares to leave.
At the same time, Gwen, who had completed the costume change, also came to the scene.
"Be careful!"
Looking at Jessica, who was hugging the little girl, Gwen shouted anxiously.
In the car behind her, the flames increased for a moment.
Flames and smoke swept through the space at once.
Gwen didn't care about her own safety and immediately rushed to the other party.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion struck from Jessica's back.
The moment the explosion occurred, Jessica's eyes showed a hint of despair.
Looking at the spider-woman who rushed towards her, she threw Alice in her arms at the other party with all her might.
The force of the explosion sent her backwards after she threw Alice.
Gwen, who was a little further away from the center of the explosion, hugged the girl and used her back to fend off the onrushing flames.
"Boom!"
Countless flames and bursting parts burst into the air, and Jessica, who was closest to it. Jones fainted suddenly.
Holding Alice and handing it to her mother, who was excitedly thanking her, Gwen frowned at Jessica as she fell to the ground.
In the next second, Jessica, who was originally unconscious, covered her injured chest and struggled to stand up.
After making sure the little girl was okay, she quickly left the place.
Watching the other man's back disappear, Gwen glanced at Peter, ready to leave the field to change clothes.
Although she was worried about the woman's condition, it was obvious that the other party walked away on her own because she didn't want others to disturb her.
She. Who is it?
Gwen had this question in her mind.
Taking off her spider uniform, Gwen glanced at the flame-scorched red skin on her back, a little frustrated.
Let's hope it won't be discovered by Peter.
I thought it was a good Halloween, but the accident just happened that made her mood worse.
But
I saved a little girl, along with the girl with the hood.
Thinking of this makes her feel a lot better.
Changing into her regular clothes, Gwen returned to the scene again.
"Peter."
"You're missing what just happened here, Gwen."
Peter said to Gwen, who pretended to be nothing.
"Really? Maybe you can tell me. ”
Gwen smiled and said to Peter.
The two left the scene and walked towards a nearby restaurant.
Heading to the restaurant, Gwen took Peter down a nearby alley.
As soon as they entered the alley, the two found Jessica lying on the ground. Jones.
"She"
Looking at the girl lying on the ground, her clothes stained with black smoke and dust, and in tatters, Gwen was stunned on the spot.
Is this the girl who threw the little girl at herself in the explosion just now?
Looking at each other, Gwen fell into shock.
Peter approached Jessica, leaned down to check on the other party's condition, and said to Gwen, "Still breathing, just fainted." ”
"Maybe we should take her to the hospital."
Gwen was a little flustered in her heart, "No, if she goes directly to the hospital like this, she may be recognized." ”
"Peter, can you drive? I mean, we can drive her to the hospital and then help her change her clothes halfway through. ”
Despite his inclination to turn a blind eye, Peter nodded at Gwen's worried expression.
"Of course, I have a driver's license and can drive Uncle Ben's car, if you insist."
Ten minutes later, Peter drove over and looked at Gwen, who had a strange expression.
"I guess you must have seen her for what she really was when I went to pick up the car, Gwen."
"I didn't mean to."
Gwen said hesitantly, "Because I was worried about her situation, I helped her tidy up her clothes, and then accidentally saw it." ”
At this time, Gwen has not yet learned from the other party is Jessica. Relieved by Jones's truth, she hesitated and said to Peter, "You can't imagine who she is, it's incredible!" ”
"Uh-huh, I know, she's Jessica. Jones. ”
Peter said something that stunned Gwen.
Thanks to "100 weeks away from you", "Little Drift" for the tip.
