Chapter 116: Uncle Zombie!
"You said you already knew."
Gwen looked at Peter in surprise, "When?" ”
She immediately brain-filled Peter and Jessica. Jones, acquaintance and communication with each other, and then to the process of discovering identity.
This should have belonged to the development line between himself and Peter!
Himself and Peter, from childhood sweethearts, to getting acquainted with each other, to beginning to recognize their own hearts, and then inadvertently their identities were discovered by Peter.
Thinking back to the stories she often imagined, Gwen was a little aggrieved.
Some of their superhero identities have been replaced by the other party.
"Just now."
Peter didn't notice Gwen's ramblings, shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Huh?"
Hearing Peter say that just now, Gwen, who was falling into "sadness", was immediately stunned on the spot.
"Just now. Is it? ”
"Well, I accidentally saw her face when I checked it just now."
Peter picked up Jessica. Jones, motioning for Gwen to open the door.
"Uh-oh."
Gwen blushed and opened the rear door for Peter.
Thankfully, I didn't tell Peter about my cranky thoughts.
Gwen thought to herself.
Put Jessica in a comatose with a frown. Jones, put it in the back seat.
Once Gwen was in the car, Peter started the car and drove towards the nearest hospital.
Gwen took off her coat and put it on for Jessica, who was dusty and frowning.
Although he was dissatisfied with Jessica and Peter's proximity before.
But after witnessing Jessica's desperate rescue, all her little mustards disappeared.
"Her skin is so white!"
Taking off Jessica's coat, Gwen said with some envy.
"Don't envy him, your skin is actually very white."
Peter glanced at Jessica's bare skin in the rearview mirror and said with a calm expression.
He is indeed telling the truth, Gwen is not only a classic American blonde and blue-eyed girl, but also fair-skinned, and does not have the enlarged pores of American women.
"But it's still not as white as hers."
"Ahem."
The two were discussing who had fairer skin, when Jessica, who was unconscious, suddenly coughed a few times.
Then, under the gaze of Gwen and Peter, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Jessica, are you awake?!"
Gwen saw the other party wake up and immediately asked her, "How are you feeling?" ”
Staring at Gwen in a daze, Jessica took a long time to react, "Gwen? ”
She was a little confused as to how she was with Gwen and was still in the car.
All I remember was that after leaving the scene of the explosion, I struggled to support my body, and as a result, I staggered into the alley and passed out.
"Peter and I found you in the alley when you fell to the ground."
Gwen patiently explained to the other party.
"Really?"
Jessica stroked her aching forehead and looked at the driver who was driving.
"Peter?"
Her heart suddenly felt uneasy.
Has your superpower been discovered by the other party?
For this boy who has confessed before, Jessica's emotions have always been complicated.
Although her confession was a bit abrupt, she did have a lot of affection for Peter.
But now the other party has a girlfriend
"The hospital will be there soon."
Peter glanced back at Jessica, who was lost in thought, and said calmly.
Neither he nor Gwen mentioned each other's superpowers, pretending not to know.
Peter didn't bother to mention it, and Gwen was in the mood to take care of Jessica.
"Nope! No way! I can't go to the hospital. ”
Hearing that Peter was going to take her to the hospital, Jessica immediately stopped her.
"But you're hurt."
Gwen said with a frown.
"I can figure it out on my own."
Jessica. Jones's personality was originally somewhat withdrawn, and after experiencing a car accident that lost his family, his personality became even more paranoid.
In addition to facing Peter, a classmate who had cared about him before, he always showed indifference and resistance when facing others.
"Stop, Peter!"
Jessica motioned for Peter to stop the car.
Peter glanced at the other and pulled over on the side of the road.
"Thank you."
After thanking the two of them, she got out of the car and walked briskly outside.
"Wait!"
Seeing Jessica get out of the car, Gwen hurriedly stepped forward to catch up with the other party.
Peter waited helplessly in the car.
Ten minutes later, Gwen sent him a text message.
"Peter, I'm not going back for a while, you can go back first, by the way, can you send me an email? It was sent to the Bloodstone family to tell them that we wanted to talk to Elsa. Bloodstone contact, how to explain it to them, just play according to your freedom! ”
Gwen texts Peter to send an email for her.
"You're going to talk to Jessica. Does Jones talk heart-to-heart? ”
Peter texted Gwen to ask.
"It's a little bit of trouble, but it'll be resolved soon."
Gwen continued to text Peter and said, "I put the jewelry box containing the bloodstones, I put it in your car, help me store it first." ”
"By the way, I forgot to say, Happy Halloween, Peter!"
Putting down his phone, Peter shook his head and glanced at the jewelry box in the center console of the car.
After waiting for a while, he started the car and drove home.
In the room, Peter fills out the email address provided to him by Gwen in his notebook and sends the written email.
As for the content of the email, it is a brief description of the fact that he was entrusted by someone to hand over some things entrusted by friends to Elsa. Bloodstone.
"Peter? Can you come down? ”
As soon as I clicked the send button, I remembered Aunt Mei's voice downstairs.
"Right now."
Closing his notebook, Peter turned and walked downstairs.
By the time I finished preparing the dinner for Aunt Mei, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Peter, where's your Halloween costume?!"
It was then that Uncle Ben realized that Peter had not prepared a Halloween costume.
"I have a set of clothes, which is the 'Black Death' costume that I prepared for the last school presentation."
Peter said casually to Uncle Ben.
"That's not in the Halloween mood."
"I'm not going to Savannah, Georgia, or to New Orleans."
Peter sat on the couch and played with the jack-o'-lantern in his hand, "so you don't have to dress yourself up as a ghost." ”
The Savannah in Georgia he is talking about, as well as New Orleans, are two famous ghost towns in the United States.
Both of these places are billed as "the most haunted city", if only on Halloween, of course.
On Halloween evening, tourist areas are filled with "ghost tours" – some of which are sitting on a big bus around the city to visit haunted places frequented by ghosts, while others are led by a group of tourists with a guide.
Citizens and tourists listened to the ghost stories and visited the "real" scene of the stories to spend a Halloween that will last a lifetime.
"Maybe I can dress you up with my Halloween costume from earlier."
Uncle Ben said to Peter with a little smugness: "I played a zombie on Halloween, but I was very good. ”
"Hmm"
Peter looked at Uncle Ben's figure, and then thought of the zombies in the film and television works.
It's hard to associate the mature and positive Uncle Ben with the zombie who "woo wow wow" and the limbs are convulsed.
"No, forget it, Uncle Ben, I'm not too keen on that."
If he wants to play as a terrifying monster, whether it's a vampire, a zombie, or a werewolf, he can do so easily and more realistically than anyone else.
After all, the "black light virus" in his body can alienate all parts of his body.
After helping Aunt Mei decorate her room, he walked to his room.
When I opened my notebook, I found that I had received an email.
It was the Bloodstone family who replied to their email with a photo of the family manor.
The reply to the email was Lady Verusa, the patriarch of the Bloodstone family, Ulysses. Bloodstone's wife.
The other party said in the email that her daughter Alyssa had been away from home for a long time.
Only tonight will I come back for the family dinner ceremony.
After tonight, I'm afraid I'll want to find Alyssa again. Bloodstone can be very difficult.
So the other party invited him to come to the event held by the Bloodstone family tonight on Halloween, and communicate with Alyssa by the way.
"Going to Boston for Halloween?"
Closing his notebook, Peter shook his head, pulled out his phone and dialed Gwen's number.
"Gwen?"
"Ahem, I'm here, Peter."
"Why is it so noisy, where are you?"
Listening to Gwen's cacophony, Peter asked her.
"Well, I'm in the hospital."
Gwen said to Peter in frustration: I met Jessica's sister, her host sister, and. Then we had some little accident halfway through and her sister got hurt. ”
"Did you beat Jessica's sister?"
Peter knows Jessica. Jones's half-sister doesn't have a very good relationship with her.
"No, I didn't do that, she. She fell down herself. ”
Even over the phone, Peter could hear Gwen's heart.
"Well, I hope she wasn't beaten up by you. Gwen, the Bloodstone Family's email has been answered. ”
Peter comforted Gwen and got down to business.
"Really? What they say. ”
"If we're going to see Alyssa. Bloodstone, it must be rushed tonight. ”
"That's impossible."
Gwen said dejectedly, "If I don't talk about the three-hour drive from Boston, I can't get out of it right now." ”
"Leave it to me."
Peter also happens to want to meet the legendary witcher family, and helps Gwen give the Bloodstone to Alyssa by the way. Bloodstone.
"Wait.! Are you saying you're going to Boston? ”
Gwen raised her voice.
"Uh-huh, it's four o'clock, and if you don't delay, you can come back for Halloween."
"But."
Gwen was a little touched on the other end of the phone, "Peter, you don't have to do that. ”
She felt that Peter had always thought so much about himself, and that he had become like a lazy woman who depended on each other for everything.
After telling Peter to be safe, Gwen hung up the phone.
Look at Jessica's sister, who is arguing in the hospital hallway, and she exhales a long breath.
Suddenly, I feel that my current mood is not so bad
Boston?
Not sure what Halloween will be like in Boston?
Holding the phone in her hand, Gwen secretly made a decision.
"Buzz!"
The car's engine starts, and Peter drives the car out of Brooklyn.
The black Lexus LC motor made a powerful roar and galloped forward on the road.
Peter's face was covered with a black substance, and under the influence of the wriggling tentacle-like substance, his face changed from a white youth back to his original form.
Driving to Boston, he would not be stupid enough to drive Uncle Ben's car.
So he turned into the appearance of a person devoured by him, went to the Brooklyn gang's territory and robbed a car, and drove straight to it.
As for why he didn't fly, the reason was that he was tired.
Opening the window, Peter operated the steering wheel with one hand and looked out towards the residential areas on both sides of the road.
I have to say that the love of the people of the United States for Halloween is hardcore.
Not only did he see fake skeletons on the lawn in front of more than one house.
Many creative citizens also placed tombstones on the lawn, and a skull arm protruded from the soil in front of the tombstone.
Citizens with trees in front of the lawn, and "ghosts" dressed in white hang from the trees.
The breeze blew gently, and the "ghost" swayed back and forth over the trees.
There are even those who decorate their homes as haunted houses, with blood splattered on the glass and eerie religious symbols painted.
In this way, he admired the Halloween creativity of the citizens of the United States all the way, and the car finally drove to its destination.
glanced at the manor in front of him, then took out his phone and looked at the time.
Half past six in the evening.
It doesn't seem to be slow to drive yourself.
The manor in front of you, covering a huge area, is an ancient castle, as if it has experienced countless years of baptism, and glows with a faint and cold color in the night.
Probably for Halloween, the manor is decorated with some white candles and randomly walks on the lawn, exuding a dark atmosphere.
Peter got out of the car and walked towards the gate of the manor.
"Squeak!"
The heavy gates were pushed open, and the entrance and exit of the castle was open to him.
Looking at the dark and dark corridor in front of him, Peter stepped forward.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are carved with murals.
The content of the mural is slightly bloody.
depicts humans fighting monsters with huge bodies and long tongues; And on the night of the full moon, werewolves tear people apart and then be attacked by humans, and so on, the picture of humans fighting monsters.
Peter's gaze glanced slightly over the frescoes, and he continued to walk on his feet.
Finally, he walked to the end of the deep hallway, and the door in front of him, which had been closed, slowly opened.
"Squeak!"
As the door slowly opened, an ancient hall slowly opened in front of him.
Several chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the hall, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.
The semi-circular dome structure continues upwards to resemble a church.
Inside the hall, several strangely dressed people were sitting and talking.
"Are you Mr. Parker?"
A middle-aged woman in dark clothes suddenly appeared in front of Peter and asked him.
