Looking at the monster that appeared on the TV screen, Pepper put down her phone with a look of surprise on her face.

"What is this?"

"Werewolves, vampires, savages or snowmen, giant praying mantises, dwarves, Catrina the cat."

I don't know when Harpy stood behind Pepper, staring at the monster on TV, and said to her, "It's not going to be out of these categories anyway." ”

"What?"

Pepper looked at Harpy and blinked, not knowing what the hell he was talking about.

"Haven't you seen goosebumps?"

Harpy asked Pepper.

"I haven't read it, no, I'm not sure, maybe I read it as a kid, but isn't it a children's book?"

Pepper asked Harpy uncertainly.

Her impression of the series was the bizarre stories and the fact that the author of the book had the same surname as the second-in-command of the Stark Group, Stan.

"Well, that's more than just a children's book."

Harpy put down the coffee in his hand and said to Pepper: "If you read it often, you will know that there are hundreds of monsters that are accurately described, each of which is related to reality, and maybe the monster reported on TV now can find its origin from goosebumps." ”

Listening to Harpy's gushing narration, Pepper listened in silence.

She felt that she had always been at odds with this bodyguard gentleman.

It is estimated that only a guy like Tony can compete with him.

The thought of Tony makes her a little irritable.

Tony has been missing for more than a week and there is no news yet.

Now there is a mountain of work, all of which is backlogged on her body.

Not only did she have to face pressure from the board, but she also had to deal with the group's second-in-command carefully.

If she can't find Tony again, she's afraid she'll have a nervous breakdown.

With a few deep breaths, Pepper calms herself down.

"Harpy, I'll let you deliver something to Parker, you're done?"

She interrupted Harpy and asked him.

To thank Peter for helping her, she bought some gifts to send to Peter's house.

If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't get out, she would have come directly to thank her.

"Of course, I've already sent someone to deliver it, and I've prepared some gifts at my own expense."

Harpy said he bought some gifts.

"After all, he saved me too, and I want to express my gratitude."

Seeing Pepper's skeptical gaze at him, Harpy shrugged his shoulders.

"What? Weird, isn't it? Although he beat up my boss, but. One thing is one thing, and there is no personal vendetta between us. If I could, I'd be willing to ask him for boxing and marksmanship. ”

"Hmm."

Pepper nodded, "Speaking of Tony, is there still no news?" ”

"At the moment, no."

Harpy's expression became serious, "Yesterday Colonel Rhodes also told me that they found the fragments of missiles made by Stark Group in the place where Tony was attacked, and the weapons used by those terrorists, I mean those who might have kidnapped Tony, were made by Stark Industries. ”

"Will the military be able to find the terrorists who attacked the convoy?"

Pepper asked Harpy worriedly.

"I don't know, because it's in Afghanistan, not in the country, they say it's going to be a little difficult."

"That's not what they said when we worked with the Department of Defense."

Sighing slightly, Pepper turned her gaze to the TV screen.

On the news program, the news about the monster has been broadcast, and the host has started broadcasting about Tony. News of Stark's disappearance.

She was more irritable.

Forest hillock, Peter looked at the stranger outside the door.

The other party said that he was an employee of FedEx, and after letting himself sign, he began to move things into the house in large bags.

"Who's the sender?"

Peter asked, confused.

Before the delivery man could answer, the phone vibrated and rang.

Peter took out his phone and saw that it was Pepper's call.

When he got on the phone, he learned that all of these things had been sent by the other party.

After hanging up the phone and looking at the room full of cardboard boxes, Peter sat on the sofa speechlessly.

Although it is a gratitude from others, it is a pity that the room is not big enough, and it is estimated that Aunt Mei will return a lot.

Midday.

Aunt Mei pushed open the door and entered the room, looking at the cardboard boxes and various exquisite packaging boxes in front of her, and was startled.

"Peter?"

Aunt May turned her inquiring gaze to Peter, "What's going on?" Why is there so much stuff in the room? ”

"We received some gifts, and they were all more expensive gifts."

"Who sent it?"

"It's supposed to be Stark Corporation."

Peter said to Aunt May as he stood up and picked up something wrapped in fine red wrapper.

"It's wine."

"Watch."

"And shopping vouchers from the mall."

Peter just picked up a few gift boxes and roughly determined the contents inside.

"Stark Group?"

Hearing Peter say that it was sent by Stark Company, Aunt May nodded.

Ben had told Aunt Mei about saving Pepper by mistake.

Although Aunt Mei was very suspicious of what Ben said, just using a pistol to scare away the gangsters, she could only believe it under the proof from the police station.

"Uh-huh, to express my gratitude to Uncle Ben."

Peter picked up a greeting card placed next to the gift, "It says they want to visit, but lately they can't afford it, so they can only 'next time.'" ”

"We shouldn't have accepted such a valuable gift."

Aunt May looked at the room full of things, and after a final moment of contemplation, she said to Peter.

Peter's interest in these things is average, and he already has a lot of money from the gangsters, and these things are naturally not too rare.

Hearing Aunt Mei say that he couldn't accept it, he nodded his head in understanding.

"I have no opinion, Aunt Mei, but I think you should discuss it with Uncle Ben."

He walked over to a green box and looked at the handwritten text on it:

"Give to Peter. Parker, I hope you will have a beautiful second trip. Two Disneyland tickets are included, and by the way, I know the Disney owner very well, so you can mention my name when you go to play. Harpy. Hoganliu. ”

Looking at the handwritten text on it, Peter shook his head and put the gift down.

"By the way, Aunt Mei, where did Uncle Ben go?"

He asked Aunt Mei casually.

"Ben?"

Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment, frowning and thinking about where her husband had gone.

She seemed to remember what Ben had told herself to do before she left the house, but why couldn't she remember it now?

"Aunt Mei, are you okay?"

Peter looked at Aunt May in a daze, and asked her with a frown.

It seems that Aunt Mei's spirit is not very good.

"I'm fine, just a recent memory. It's relatively poor, and many things can't be remembered for a while. ”

Aunt May squeezed out a slight smile at Peter.

But she soon realizes that it's not because of her poor memory, but because she seems to be forgetting about Ben alone.

When she came to this conclusion, she began to panic in her heart.

"Perhaps, Aunt Mei, you need to rest and rest."

Peter stood up and said to Aunt May.

"Well, yes, when Ben comes back, you go call me, I'll go and get some rest."

Aunt Mei walked into the room with some distractions.

Peter stood behind Aunt May, his brow furrowing tighter.

Aunt Mei, what's wrong?

Peter sat back on the couch and fell into deep thought.

Since a few days ago, Aunt Mei seems to be in a trance, and her memory seems to be declining.

Is there something going on that you don't know?

Or did Aunt Mei know her identity, and the mental breakdown caused by too much mental stress problems?

He was thinking about Aunt Mei's question when the mobile phone vibrated again.

Picking up her phone, she found that it was Gwen who had sent her a text message.

"Peter, you didn't come to school today?"

"Yes, I encountered something, so I took a leave of absence today."

Peter edited the text message and sent it, "What about you? How was the dinner at Harry's house last night? ”

Gwen's hand was fast, sending a large pile of text in a matter of seconds.

"Don't mention it, I'm like I'm in jail, and I wouldn't be so uncomfortable if you were around. By the way, Peter, Jessica last night. Jones is in any trouble and have you helped her out? ”

"It's been resolved, but as for what happened, at the request of the parties, I can only keep it secret."

Seemingly mindful of Peter's word of secrecy, Gwen was a little jealous of the words he sent next.

"Well, you and Jessica have a secret that belongs to both of them, and I'm an outsider. I shouldn't have let you go. ”

At Midtown High School, Gwen looked at the phone screen with a frustration on her face that she couldn't hide.

Why is there a feeling of burying yourself by digging a pit with your own hands?!

Soon she realized that her words were a bit of a "and resentful woman", and she quickly made up for it.

"I mean, you're right to keep it a secret, but well, maybe I should ask Jessica for myself."

After editing and sending it over, Gwen thought back to what Peter had said to himself before he left last night - "Watch out for Norman. Osborne! ”

What happened later, as Peter said, was that Norman. Osborne became a "monster", threatening himself with the safety of his father and Peter.

Could Peter really be a futurist who knows what will happen in the future?

"By the way, Peter, why did you say to me last night, 'Beware of Norman. Osborne'? ”

Not holding back her curiosity, she texted Peter and asked.

"Because he's not a good guy."

"Well, that's right."

Gwen, who was holding his phone, nodded subconsciously, "He's not a good guy, but the annoying thing is that he's Harry's father." ”

Thinking of last night Norman. Osborne's threats to him, Gwen wanted to beat him up and send him to prison.

But the other party is Harry's father, and he is in a dilemma.

If he wants to go to war with the other party, he will definitely hurt the other party, he is Harry's father, and if Harry knows that he did it, he will definitely resent himself.

But if you listen to Norman yourself. Osborne.

This will not happen at all, because I will never listen to such people.

She doesn't know how to deal with it now.

"I'm a little confused right now, Peter, I talked about some useless things at Harry's house last night, and I won't talk about it, but then something really crazy happened."

"How crazy is it?"

"In short, beyond anyone's imagination, it's as incredible as seeing an alien."

Gwen continued to edit the text message, "For similar reasons to you, I'll have to keep it a secret, Peter, but I can tell you right now that you have to be careful with Norman. Osborne, he's a very dangerous guy. ”

She remembered Norman's burly, devilish green body last night.

"Uh-huh, I know, don't worry about me, Gwen, taking care of yourself is the top priority."

Looking at the warm text that Peter sent him, Gwen's bad mood was mostly alleviated.

She was about to edit the text and send it out, when the radio in the classroom suddenly sounded.

"Gwen. Stacy, please come to Room 222, please come to Room 222 right away, thank you! ”

She was stunned for a moment when she heard her name come out on the radio.

After sending Peter a "one talk later" message, she got up and walked out of the classroom.

Putting the phone in her pocket, Gwen's face was full of doubts, who could be calling her on the radio?

Room 222.

Gwen pushed open the door and saw an acquaintance sitting inside - Bradley, a psychiatrist.

After the last school riot, the teacher arranged by the school to provide psychological counseling to the students.

"Miss Stacy, I'm Dr. Bradley, and I think we should meet."

Gwen nodded, "Yes, you were the instructor from last time, I still remember. ”

"But Dr. Bradley, maybe I won't have time to talk to you and receive your counseling."

Gwen made a reason for herself, "In ten minutes my function test will begin." ”

She is not in the mood for counselling right now.

"It's only going to take a few minutes, Miss Stacy."

Dr. Bradley, smiling as he held the folder, said to her.

Gwen looked at the other party and continued: "But I really don't have any psychological problems, and I don't have mental trauma that needs psychological counseling. ”

She wanted to say that maybe Peter needed your psychotherapy, but in the end she swallowed it.

"Hmm."

Bradley casually opened the folder, looked at the page inside, and asked Gwen, "I heard that Norman. Osborne had already gotten up from his hospital bed. ”

"Yes."

Gwen replied in response.

"So, did you go to his manor last night?"

Her eyes instantly became fierce, staring at Gwen who was stunned.

"Norman. Did Osborne show you what he was capable of? ”

Gwen was originally sitting in a chair, and when she heard the other party's words, she stood up suddenly.

"Wait, what the hell is going on? Who are you? ”

"Can you answer my question first? Ms. Stacy. ”

Dr. Bradley stepped closer to her in his high heels, "Did he threaten you?" He said he knew you were Spider-Woman? ”
