"Is it just ten dollars?"

Jeff's new partner, looking at the bill he was holding, then pulled ten dollars out of his pocket.

"Maybe we can add some more chips, how about twenty dollars?"

The new partner is quite young, not the kind of serious person, and he likes to joke around with Jeff.

"Uh-huh, I agreed."

Satisfied, Jeff took the bill from his partner's hand and turned to look at the motel standing in front of him.

"I remember the last time I found a rotting and smelly corpse from a motel, one of the other party's feet had been sawed off, and the smell was enough for me to experience it once."

He said to his partner as he walked forward.

"Still. It's not the motel in front of you, it's pretty much the same, and the smell of this kind of place is the same anyway. ”

Before he could finish his words, he heard an exclamation from his partner behind him.

"Be careful!"

Then he felt something fall above his head.

The sound of the wind driven by the black shadow falling downwards sent a sharp whistling of the air.

Subconsciously, he pounced to the side and dodged the impact of the black shadow.

There was a "bang", which seemed to be the existence of a corpse, and it slammed into the ground with a dull sound.

Jeff, who fell to the ground and narrowly escaped the smash, exhaled in shock, looked at the corpse in front of him, and staggered to his feet.

"What the is this?"

Looking up at the roof of the hotel, and then looking down at the man lying face down on the ground, he couldn't help but let out a curse: "Does this guy jump off the building and want to pull someone on his back?" ”

The partner pulled out his pistol and cautiously walked over to the corpse.

Bent down and roughly inspect the other party's situation.

"He seems to be dead."

"Hit headfirst down, unless he has a head like steel, this guy is completely dead, call someone."

Now that there was a fall from the building at the scene, and the two of them couldn't handle it anymore, Jeff asked his partner to start calling the police station for backup.

"It was a thrilling situation, but I won!"

Jeff, who escaped death, returned to his true nature, tidied up his police uniform, and took out the twenty dollars that the two had just bet on from it.

"Looks like I won the bet."

"Take it, man, I don't have any jealousy about you making all this money, you deserve it."

The partner said that Jeff was almost smashed just now, and he was almost smashed into the hospital by his own prophecy.

So that's what Jeff deserves.

"Well, we should make a bigger bet next time, otherwise I think I'm at a loss."

Jeff complained as he walked to the car and smoked a cigarette.

As soon as I lit the cigarette, I noticed that something was wrong.

The fingers of the corpse lying on the ground suddenly moved.

"Wait."

Jeff, with a cigarette in his mouth, froze, and pointed his gaze at the corpse lying on the ground, motioning for his partner to look over there.

"What's wrong?"

The partner didn't understand what he was doing, but he followed his gaze.

"Roar!"

In the next second, a roar came from the corpse's mouth.

The corpse, which had been lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up, and its hideous appearance gave a terrifying expression, and rushed towards Jeff's partner.

"Crumbs!"

With a curse, Jeff immediately pulled out his pistol and slammed the trigger on the other side.

The muffled sound of the bullet sounded, and then it hit the opponent's body with precision.

The monster, which was hindered for a moment, did not pounce on Jeff's partner, but jumped into the police car.

"Boom!"

The car was slammed into the car with a loud noise that shook the space.

By the light in front of the motel, Jeff, who was holding a pistol, vaguely saw the other party's face.

Beneath the hideous and terrifying appearance, the fangs in the mouth are bared, and the eyes are blood-red, staring at the two like a wild beast.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Sweating profusely and having survived the catastrophe, his partner immediately pulled out his pistol, pulled the trigger and fired all the bullets.

The man with fangs in his mouth and blood-red eyes jumped out of the car with a loud bang.

The monster, which dodged the bullets, did not attack the two of them, but ran straight forward and left the scene in an instant.

Staring at the disappearing back of the "monster", Jeff put down his gun, gritted his teeth and cursed "bastard".

"And what is that?"

The partner walked up to Jeff in horror and asked him in fear, "What monster?"

"I don't know, but our life won't be easy, call home support!"

In the room of the motel, Jessica. Jones watched in amazement as Grant jumped off the building, then resurrected and attacked the police until they disappeared into the night.

After a while, she reacted, and asked Peter in disbelief, "Just now. What is that? ”

"As you think, he's dead, but his body and soul are for me."

Peter walked to the window, looked through the shutters at the two policemen outside, and then at the Bloodstone Ring and the Life Rune Ring in his hand.

"How. How can it be? ”

Jessica looked at Peter in amazement, "How can you control someone who is already dead?" Are you a wizard? Or can you raise the dead? ”

She knew that Peter's strength might be beyond her imagination, but she didn't expect the other party to be able to do this.

What is this?

The ability to resurrect the dead, to bring the dead back to life?

It's not something that humans can do, is it?

"You don't know enough about the world, Jessica."

Peter looked at Jessica with a flat expression and said to her, "As long as I want to do it, then. No one will be able to stop me. ”

"Are you a god?"

Jessica's heart was pounding, and an unbelievable, terrifying and exciting thought popped into her mind.

"Nope."

"Are you human, then?"

Jessica pressed on.

Peter was slightly startled when he heard this, and then shook his head, "Not sure, but ...... In a sense, I'm still human. ”

Are you human now?

Occupied by a black light virus, it is completely detached from human characteristics and becomes the highest kind of existence in the food chain.

If you say that you are human, you are deceiving yourself.

But from the very beginning, I have been a human being, thinking with human thinking and acting with human standards.

In this respect, he has never detached himself from his human identity.

On the other hand, hearing Peter's answer, Jessica was slightly disappointed.

But she quickly adjusted her emotions, and she was full of strong curiosity about this classmate who was full of mysteries.

"Did you mean what you said you wanted me to work for you?"

"Do you think you can stay out of it after you know so much secrets?"

Peter asked her rhetorically.

"Also, we all know each other's secrets, and we belong to the same boat."

Jessica nodded, "I'm not going to give a out about what's happening here. ”

She made a promise to Peter, "And I promise you, even to those closest to me, I will not tell." ”

"I don't believe in any oaths."

Peter stared into Jessica's pretended calm eyes.

He could feel Jessica's emotional tension at this time.

His breathing was heavier, his heart was beating wildly, and his eyes didn't dare to make eye contact with him.

Although her words were very calm, her heart was far from being as calm as she appeared.

"I'm more punishing and rewarding."

Seeing police cars coming in one after another, Peter shook his head and turned to leave.

"It's not a place to live, get out of here and live in a different place."

As he spoke, he pulled out a wad of dollars and threw it on Jessica's bed.

Looking at the green dollar on the bed, Jessica looked a little surprised.

"It's . For me? ”

"Since you work for me, this is what you deserve."

Peter pushed the door open and walked out.

At the same time, black and red blood covered his face.

Then the black-red wriggling substance vanished, and his face changed to another white youth.

"Will you find me?"

As soon as the words came out, Jessica felt that this sentence was too silly.

Isn't it very simple that you are still in school and want to find him, or the other party wants to find you?

Peter turned his face to her and said, "If I want to find you, wherever you are, it's easy." ”

Jessica watched Peter talk to herself with a face she didn't recognize, completely frozen.

It wasn't until Peter went downstairs that she recovered from her shock.

Feeling a little dizzy, she returned to the room, closed the door, and slowly slid to the floor with the edge of the bed.

What kind of monster did you provoke?!

Jessica had a faint feeling in her heart.

I stepped into a vortex of extreme danger, and I can't escape it.

Downstairs.

Peter, with the appearance of a person who has been devoured by himself, passes by Jason and other policemen.

One after another, the police arrived, and soon the open space in front of the motel was blocked.

Peter stood under a street lamp in the distance, watching the police come in and out.

Black tentacles crawled up his face and vanished in an instant.

Change back to "Peter. Parker", he turned and walked into the darkness of the night.

Meanwhile.

Stacy's home, George. Stacy is watching TV.

NBC's "The Jimmy Tonight Show" was playing on TV.

The host Jimmy used to be a comical one-man showman, and he is a very good living treasure host.

He once starred in the TV series "Band of Brothers", and it was the unlucky soldier who appeared at the end of the fifth episode, which led to the classic dialogue that "paratroopers should have been surrounded".

The subject of this interview on the show is a star hunter named Craven.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, George uses the remote control to turn off the TV.

"Hi Dad, good evening."

"Good evening, Gwen, how was dinner at Harry's house?"

"It's good, just a little tired, I think I need to take a break."

Gwen greeted George and entered the room.
