Chapter 232: Aunt Mei doesn't think she's a good person
It rained in the hazy sky.
The delicate and long rain carries the coldness of the bone-eating ecstasy.
The rain in a continuous line brought a layer of chill to the whole land in the cold weather. When the raindrops approach the ground, each drop of rain that falls on the ground will make a tiny splash.
The dry ground in the city is moistened by rain after a long drought, and the land exudes a peculiar smell of dampness.
A day has passed since Kim He's death.
Peter and Gwen didn't leave the dimension.
The Ion Collider was badly damaged, and Dr. Octopus said it would take some time to fully repair it.
So the two of them can only stay here.
Shadow Spider-Man and other Spider-Men from another world were also forced to temporarily stay in this world.
Holding a clear umbrella and wearing a baseball shirt, Gwen and Peter arrive at the hospital with him.
"Miles became Spider-Man and he lost his uncle."
Gwen let out a breath and said to Peter, "So Spider-Man is really going to lose one of his loved ones?" ”
Peter was holding a black umbrella next to Gwen, the splashing rain under his feet.
After hearing Gwen's words, he shook his head, "It's not a conventional rule, so, Gwen, you don't have to worry. ”
Gwen didn't believe it, she thought about it and said, "But all the bad things happened to Spider-Man, and I don't quite believe it's a coincidence." ”
"Maybe there really is some convention in fate!"
Gwen leaned closer to Peter with an umbrella so that the rain wouldn't get wet.
"What if. Gwen, you have to follow this conventional condition, Spider-Man will always lose his loved ones, and every universe that has Spider-Man will be like this, otherwise this universe will be destroyed, then. If you were faced with such a choice, would you sacrifice yourself to lose your loved ones and protect the universe from destruction, or would you rebel? ”
Peter poses a tram conundrum to Gwen.
"Me?"
Gwen thought for a moment, a little hesitant.
But when I thought of Peter, I knew my answer in an instant.
"I'm certainly not willing to sacrifice someone I love, so what about you, Peter? What would you do? ”
Faced with Gwen's rhetorical question, Peter said, "Me? If I were to describe my point of view in a sentence from the Celestial Empire, it would be 'plucking a hair and benefiting the world, not doing it.'" ’”
Since Peter said this sentence in Chinese, Gwen did not understand.
She blinked and asked Peter, "What do you mean?" ”
While the two were talking, they arrived at the hospital, and Gwen had to stop asking.
Since Peter said he wanted to go to the bathroom first, he let Gwen enter Aunt May's hospital room first.
After glancing into the dimly lit outdoor sky, Gwen exhaled and gently pushed open the door to the hospital room.
Aunt Mei is resting in the hospital room.
After seeing Gwen come in, Aunt Mei, who was wearing a hospital gown, lay on the bed and nodded slightly to Gwen, and then propped her body up.
"Thank you for coming to see me, Gwen."
Aunt Mei thanked Gwen: "The earthquake last night caused me to accidentally knock my knee, and even though I repeatedly told the doctors that it was okay, they insisted that I be hospitalized. ”
Aunt Mei was in high spirits and asked Gwen, "So. You guys made it last night, didn't you? ”
Gwen nodded, placing the flowers on the table next to her.
"Yes, we succeeded, we stopped Kim's attempt, he took the blame for his own destruction, and there will be no earthquakes in Brooklyn in the future."
Although Kim was stopped, Gwen didn't have much excitement.
Inside the subway speeding from other dimensions, the self she saw on a glider always made her feel uncomfortable.
"Really? But I don't think you have a lot of happy emotions, did you encounter something bad? ”
Aunt Mei asked very intimately.
She has a very good impression of Gwen from this other world.
Probably because Gwen, who had lived in his home and had died, had so much in common with the girl in front of him, that he cared.
She, like her own Peter, became a superhero with everything on her shoulders.
But maybe the identity of a superhero is too heavy for them.
"No, I just"
Gwen let out a breath and said to Aunt May, "I just saw a lot of things that were different from our dimension, it. It makes me a little scared and worried, maybe if I don't do something well, my life will go wrong. ”
Gwen voiced her concerns.
"Are you afraid of the future? Child. ”
Aunt Mei asked him.
Gwen nodded, "Yes, fate is really magical, sometimes. It will scare me. ”
"You know what?"
Aunt May paused for a moment and said to Gwen, "About ten years ago, when Ben died, I lost not only Ben, but also a very good friend, who was my best friend. ”
"It hit me hard, they all fell in front of me, and I was in a bit of a bad mood during that time."
Aunt Mei suddenly talked about her previous time.
"During that time, Gwen, not you, it was Gwen of this world, and during that time, I took advantage of her."
"Utilization?"
Gwen didn't quite understand why the other party was using the word "utilization".
"Yes, Gwen of this world has lost her father, and she and her mother are also a little unhappy, and I let her live here, and I say to myself, I am completely in good heart."
Aunt Mei's tone slowed down, "But in fact, letting her stay here is completely for me, not for her, but for me, she will accompany me for about an hour and a half every evening, and with this hour and a half, I won't be cranky." ”
"I could hear the voices of ghosts, yes, ghosts, they never spoke, they didn't do anything, I couldn't see them, and I wasn't crazy."
Aunt Mei talked about the past, and her tone was a little lonely.
"It's usually quiet, and even when it's quiet, I know where they are, so I took advantage of the girl, and I used kindness as a disguise to lead her into my home, and I did it because I wanted to cover it up with this noise. Be quiet. ”
Listening to Aunt Mei talk about ghosts, Gwen suddenly thought of the nickname she had just given - the ghost spider.
You're a ghost yourself, right?!
Aunt May didn't know what Gwen was thinking, and she continued: "The reason why I did this is because I am afraid, afraid of the future! ”
"So much has happened to me, why? Why are so many people I love dying? I looked around and realized how lonely I was. ”
"Will I continue to lose loved ones in the future? I am deeply afraid of the future, as you are now, of the uncertain future. ”
Aunt May gently shook Gwen's hand and said to her, "You think I'm not a good person, right?" ”
Gwen was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "You're too yourself, Aunt May. ”
Aunt Mei smiled bitterly and shook her head, "No, it's not that I'm myself, it's you, Gwen!" ”
"What I want to say to you, Gwen, is that what you've done is much better than you think."
Aunt Mei's tone was gratifying, "So don't be afraid that you're not good enough." ”
Looking at Gwen, she continued:
"You should talk to Peter more, what you have been through is a common memory of the two of you, let him understand how you feel, maybe it will be more reassuring for him, and you will feel better."
Gwen nodded and said to Aunt May, "I didn't want Peter to worry about me before, so I didn't tell him. ”
"So you need to make corrections, it's not hard for you."
On the other side, Peter sat in the hallway of the hospital, quietly waiting for Gwen.
He didn't bother to listen to the conversation in the ward.
Just keep your head down, thinking about the parallel universe.
Although Kim is dead, the rest of Spider-Man is still in this world.
Will things settle down there?
At the same time, near the Fisk Building.
"Boom!"
There was a wall fluctuation in the space, and the dimensional passage was opened.
The world where two figures descended.
"Let's hope we're not too late, or Miguel will be furious when he returns, he's always in the middle between rage and extreme calm, and you never know which way he's going to go the next moment."
Spider-Man, dressed as a punk and dressed in cool costumes, said to another female Spider-Man.
Both are Spider-Men from the Spider-League, following Spider-Man 2099's orders to investigate what happened in this universe.
Punk Spider-Man, formerly known as Hobie Brown.
An anarchist by nature who was born to believe, he was bitten by a spider mutated by toxic waste and turned into Spider-Man.
His abilities are the same as those of Spider-Man in the main universe, except that he is dressed in a punk outfit, holding a guitar, and wearing a "Thai pants spicy" outfit.
"Our task now is not to complain about Miguel, Brown."
The slightly mature female Spider-Man said to the punk Spider-Man.
Spider-Woman's original name was Jessica Drew.
She was poisoned by radiation as a child, and her scientist father injected her with a spider serum.
The concoction saved her, and it also gave her spider abilities, increased speed and agility, and the ability to fire a biodynamic "Venom Blaster".
She is not as casual as the liberal Spider-Man like the punk Spider-Man, adjusting her mood and looking at her surroundings.
"I thought that when the people of the Spider League went out on a mission, they would have some casual atmosphere, such as. A good-natured joke, or a well-intentioned change of course, won't be so serious, but it seems like you're a little different this time, and you look a little nervous, Jessica. ”
Punk Spider-Man, to Spider-Woman with fluffy hair.
Spider-Woman was about to refute, when she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the building in front of her.
This is supposed to be the base of one of Spider-Man's old enemies, Kim, why did the building collapse a lot?
And it seems like there's been a big war here.
"The world...... What happened? ”
Spider-Woman's expression became serious.
