Dr. Connors was unable to provide an explanation for Peter's question.

After all, he is only proficient in science, but he is not aware of some of the mysteries of this world.

After leaving Long Island, New York, Peter headed to the wooded hills of Queens.

Driving Uncle Ben's car, Peter drove through the streets of New York.

I had just walked through the vicinity of Sunset Park, and when I looked out of the window, I accidentally saw a yellow figure.

The yellow figure flashed near Sunset Park, but Peter, who saw this scene, was stunned.

Applying the brakes, he parked the car on the side of the road.

After getting out of the car, he stretched out his hand, and several bats were born from his palm and flew into the air.

The bat, fluttering its wings, chased after the yellow figure.

If I'm not mistaken, the yellow figure, the face covered by the hood, seems to be. Ancient One Mage?

As the most powerful supreme mage who guards the earth, isn't the other party Kama Taj who lives in seclusion in the Himalayas?

It wasn't until the other party met Doctor Strange that he expanded his range of activities.

As a result, is the other party in New York now?

Is something wrong?

Or is it that the other party is spying on him, a visitor from outside the world?

No!

Himself is now Peter. Parker, the natives of this world, no matter what, there is no reason for the other party to find himself or expel him.

Peter pondered as he used the bat to track the other man's figure.

However, after searching around Sunset Park, there was no trace of the Ancient One.

Did you read it wrong?

Looking up at the sky that was gradually sinking into darkness, Peter looked through the thick dark clouds that had accumulated in the sky and looked towards the highest dome.

As he drove back to the forest hills, Peter had just returned to his room with a heavy heart when he received a call from Gwen's father.

The other party said that there was something for him to come to the police station.

As for the reason, it was because of the car accident that happened in the café during the day.

After saying hello to Aunt May and Uncle Ben, Peter rushed to the New York Police Department.

Half an hour later, inside the morgue.

George. Stacy put down the autopsy report in her hand and asked Peter, "Peter, Norman. Osborne was killed by you? ”

"Do you have to ask me that question here?"

Peter surveyed his surroundings and asked him.

The other party brought himself here to see the corpse, but he didn't expect to suddenly ask about the Green Goblin.

"Well, I think Gwen has been a bit odd lately, she suddenly asked me about you, and asked me about my kidnapping in the Golden Mansion. And also. Her injuries weren't light, and even if she hid them well, I don't think her fight against that monster would have been easy. ”

George asked Peter, suspiciously, "So what happened in between?" ”

"It wasn't anything, it was just that she was attacked by the Green Goblin, and I rushed to the scene."

Peter's gaze circled around the freezer where the bodies were kept, and said, "Then Gwen knew that I was the 'Black Watcher'. ”

"I knew it."

George sighed, "She'll find out someday, and besides, she's following her ass every day." ”

"I'm glad you protected her at a critical moment, Peter."

George. Stacy said to Peter with emotion: "I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't help her much at critical moments." ”

He thought of himself being held hostage after being attacked by the Green Goblin, and his emotions were a little complicated.

"If you can protect her, even if I, as a father, stay away from her, I don't have to worry about her safety."

"I will."

Peter nodded, "Gwen isn't just to you, she's important to me. ”

George. Stacy didn't speak, patted Peter on the shoulder, walked over to the morgue, and pulled the freezer open.

Peter looked at the corpse in the clear bag that had been unzipped and his brow furrowed.

"The deceased's name was John. Hurd, age 36, is driving the model Oldsmobile. Pontic, crashed into a café this morning with his car out of control, and although you and Gwen dodged each other's impact, he died of his injuries. ”

George. Staring at the corpse's pale face, Stacy said to Peter, "At first I thought it was the enemy targeting you and Gwen, but now it doesn't seem like that, he. . . Just an ordinary office worker, an employee of a tech company working in Silicon Valley. ”

"Have you checked the car? Mr. Stacy. ”

"Checked, nothing out of the ordinary."

George looked away from the corpse and said to Peter, "It looks like he's asleep and he's going straight to the café." ”

"Hmm."

Peter nodded, stretched out his hand, and examined it directly on the other party's corpse.

Looking at Peter's non-compliant process, George did not stop it, but continued:

"There have been a lot of similar things that have happened recently, many people have fallen asleep at work, and then accidents have occurred, and there are citizens who fall asleep and can't wake up."

"Things have gotten a little tricky, and some experts even suspect that it's a new virus, a dangerous virus that can be contagious."

Peter heard George say that many people in New York City were in a deep sleep, and he stopped examining the body in front of him.

It's a dream again.?

After pondering for a moment, he raised the ring in his hand and looked at the Life Rune Ring next to the Bloodstone.

The Rune of Life Ring allows him to talk to the dead.

Staring at the ring in front of him, his mind manipulated the ring to exert his abilities.

In George. In Stacy's stunned gaze, the orange ring in Peter's hand slowly emitted a soft orange color.

"Bang!"

The orange brilliance of the ring burst out, and an invisible force swung outward.

George was shocked by the force and took two steps back.

With an unbelievable look in his eyes, he asked Peter, "What have you done?" Peter. ”

"Awaken his soul."

Staring in front of him named John. Hurd's corpse, Peter said slowly to George.

"What?"

Listen to Peter's answer, George. Stacy was stunned for a moment.

Peter frowned as he looked at the blurry mass of figures condensed on the corpse of the other man.

The last time I was at the Natural History Museum, I could use the Talisman of Life to summon the soul of the dead and appear in front of me.

Is it just that degree now?

Can't even summon a full soul yourself?

And he could feel that an invisible barrier was blocking his connection with the world of the dead, and even with the dead themselves.

"You're John. Hurd, right? ”

Peter turned his thoughts back and asked the vague figure with a calm expression.

"I'm John. Hurd, where am I? ”

A faint voice of panic and uneasiness came from the shadows.

"You're dead."

Peter looked at the shadow in front of him and continued, "Tell me what you went through before you crashed. ”

John. Hurd's shadow was stunned when he heard Peter say he was dead.

After a while, he said to Peter: "I just remember that I was driving, and then I entered a space, and there, I was attacked by a group of rattlesnakes, I was most afraid of snakes, I was helpless It was a nightmare, how could I get into a nightmare?" I'm driving."

John. Hurd's voice grew quieter, and his shadows began to become more blurry and transparent.

Peter just looked at the soul in front of him calmly and did not speak.

Then he held out his finger and snapped it slightly.

With a crisp sound of "pop", the blurred shadow turned into a cloud of dust and slowly disappeared.

Narrated by George. Stacy, only to see a blurred shadow next to the corpse, Peter said a few words to himself, and then disappeared in front of his eyes.

Stunned by this scene, he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses from the shock.

"Peter, that. . . What is it? ”

"His soul."

Peter lowered his left hand and said to George. "The dead go to hell when they die, but the soul is not permanently imprisoned by hell, and I can have a short conversation with the dead through the gaps," Stacy said. ”

"What?!"

George. Stacy seemed to hear the Arabian Nights, "How is this possible?" ”

"I mean, how do we get in touch with souls and things like that? Are you a wizard? Still a psychic, no, even a psychic can't do it. ”

He felt that his worldview had been turned upside down.

At the same time, doubts arose about Peter's abilities.

What else can't this kid do?

He. Is it an angel or a devil?

Is it right or wrong to hand over your daughter to him?

He wondered if what he had just said to Peter had been too hasty.

"The ancient Egyptians could communicate with the dead pharaohs through sacrifices, and the boundary between the dead and the living was not very strong."

Peter turned away with a calm expression, looked out the window at the sky covered by black clouds, and said to him:

"However, it is said that breaking the boundary between the dead and the living generally doesn't happen well, so I rarely use it."

Regarding taboo punishment, he naturally didn't believe in this set.

I don't believe that anyone can punish me.

The reason why I say this is just an excuse to prevaricate the other party.

If the other party allows himself to constantly talk to the deceased and thinks of himself as a psychic, he is naturally unwilling.

"Peter, are you an angel or a devil?"

George. Stacy was silent for a moment, then asked him with mixed feelings.

"I am neither an angel nor a devil."

Peter casually pointed to the freezer, and the freezer was pushed by an invisible force, and slowly pushed it to close.

"The deceased told me that he was driving a car and fell into a deep sleep, and that his dreams were the things he feared the most."

Looking at the night outside, Peter's expression became serious.

"The same is probably true of the people in the hospital who fell into a coma, and they fell into nightmares."

As he spoke, he stared at the two rings on his left hand and whispered to himself, "Nightmare."

"Boom!"

Looking at the heavy rain outside the door and the fading thunder, Pepper put down the newspaper and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Huge raindrops, "snapping" on the window.

Her mood also turned bad.

There was no Tony in the newspaper. Stark's message.

It seems to be in Tony. A few days after Stark's disappearance, the media was less interested than before.

Now the newspapers are reporting on the president of Osborne Industries, Norman Bush. Osborne's death.

Norman. Osborne was tragically killed in a terrorist attack.

His only son, Harry. Osborne was also injured and is currently being treated in hospital.

Thinking not so long ago, Harry. Osborne accosted himself in the gym and didn't expect such a thing to happen.

There was some sighing in her heart.

Thinking of each other and Peter. Parker has a close relationship, and she wonders if she should send a text message of condolences to Peter.

Returning to the couch and sitting down, pulling out her phone, she hesitated.

Looking at the monster with a green strong body that the media said was a "terrorist attack" suspect in the newspaper, Pepper sighed slightly.

Forget it, I don't know anyone else.

She was hesitating when her phone rang suddenly.

The sudden ringing of the mobile phone startled her into hesitation.

Pressing the connect button, she said angrily to the other end of the phone: "I don't know what you called in the middle of the night, but if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I swear, Harpy, I'll let you know the fate of making harassing calls." ”

Harpy's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone, "Of course I'm not a harassing call, listen, I know something very important now, very important, you have to listen!" ”
