In the evening, Lille's exclusive driver, John, came to pick him up in the car, and the two chatted in the car.

Aside from the familiar characters, Lille would even think that this is an ordinary world.

Even considering the existence of the Osborne Group, there doesn't seem to be so much beyond imagination in this world that is beyond imagination from time to time.

John drove like a serious driver, reporting to Lille about recent changes in the community.

Overall, with the launch of the youth version of ctOS in the community and nearby neighborhoods, the cost of crime is gradually rising, and the crime rate is also declining rapidly.

Some enterprising and ambitious police officers in the NYPD will even choose to take charge of the security of the area.

Because there are almost no cases where the offender cannot be found, and the successful cracking of robbery, theft, and other security cases is very advantageous in their resumes.

The drop in crime rates has made the unemployed less anxious and the owners more satisfied.

In the United States, policing is a very expensive service, but now they experience quality policing at a price that is not too expensive.

But Lille knew that this peace was largely due to the fact that Kim had reined in the gang's actions, and that he would inevitably make a comeback when he had his cash flow problems in mind.

ctOS systems and criminal syndicates are inherently hostile – unless the technology itself is in the hands of criminal gangs.

But either way, it's not like you're going to see robberies and shootouts every night.

People are still used to going home early, so there are hardly any people on the streets – and that's fine.

The car stopped, and the two went back to their respective homes.

After eating, Lille went into his room and began to set up the "operating room".

[Tech Points-500]

[Current Technology Points: 120]

A shortened version of the Prosthetic Medic's glove appeared in Lille's hand, with a ring that reached only to the wrist, half the size of the glove in the cyberpunk world.

After connecting the various surgical equipment, Lille adjusted the gloves to confirm that they were correct, and the next step was to start the operation.

Just this surgery for it. It's better to have an assistant.

But in this world, who can he trust in such a thing?

Skye, John, and Anthony would not harm themselves, but that was only a subjective will, they had little medical experience, and it was very likely that something would objectively go wrong.

For those who have medical experience, it is inconvenient for him to let them see his prosthetic body, such as Professor Connors.

The prosthetic body on his body is more than a heart, and once he is on the operating table, these things can't be hidden-

And Lille can't make these prosthetics yet, he can't explain it.

As Lille thought about it, he suddenly noticed footsteps in the living room—it was his mother cleaning.

Maya has medical experience as a nurse in the hospital, and it is impossible for her to harm herself.

It's just that the surgical images will be more brutal - will this be a problem?

Lil hesitated for a moment, but decided to let his mother be this assistant-

The surgery should not be careless, and all means that can improve the success rate must be used.

Lille opened the door and beckoned to his mother: "Mom! Come here, I need your help. ”

Maya put down the broom in her hand.

"What's wrong?"

Lille organized the language and asked, "Mom, have you ever worked as an instrument nurse in the hospital?" ”

Maya nodded, "Of course, for example, getting a bullet for some unlucky guy who was hit by a stray bullet, which is quite common in Hell's Kitchen." ”

"That's right, Mom, I have an operation that I need your help with."

Maya was stunned for a moment, not understanding Lille's words.

Lille pointed to his chest: "I need to have an operation in this place, here's one. Artificial paracardio, I'm going to use it to inject myself with constant drugs.

This medication improves cell viability and prolongs my lifespan. ”

"If I heard it right, you mean that you have a special medicine, but the use of this special medicine requires you to operate on yourself."

Maya repeated Lille's words, trying to keep her composure.

But she didn't quite understand what Lille was saying.

"Yes." "My medical tools are unique, they are automatic like a robotic hand, but I need an instrument nurse to help me sterilize the instruments and assist me in the normal operation of the operation," Lille said calmly. ”

Maya's heart was as shocked as witnessing 911, and even worse!

Lille is very calm, but what he says is not simple at all!

"Mom, I know this is hard to accept, but I really need your help."

Lille cleaned the bed and covered it with sterilized plastic sheeting—

A sterile environment is necessary in a routine procedure, but it is not so necessary for him, it just needs to be properly arranged.

Mom looks calm, and that's enough.

It's normal to feel shocked in your heart, the key is to control it and don't act like a surprise.

By this standard, Mom seems to have been quite calm all along.

Lille inserted the glove into the prosthetic system, and the whole person lay on the bed.

"There's medical equipment from the lab in the box, Mom—we'll get started."

Maya felt a little dazed, but listened to Lille's words anyway.

It's just that when walking, there are some steps and three turns.

Midtown High School, there's a dance party here --

It was Peter's last semester in middle school and their classmates' last semester here.

But despite attending the ball, he still dressed like a nerd, with a pair of eyes, and looked a little out of place—

He stood at the door, a little helpless, and a strong blond man slapped him fiercely surrounded by his friends:

"Haha, Peter Parker - the best nerd at Midtown High School!"

The people next to him all showed mocking smiles, most of them were not very familiar with Peter, but they were very familiar with this strong man Fleisch.

So they laughed too, which made Peter even more embarrassed—

"Midtown High School's most uneducated fool, I'm still wondering if you won't find your way."

The American bullying was interrupted by a slightly mature female voice, a blonde girl with a drum stick in her hand--

She wasn't dressed like a baller, and it was clear that she was here to beat the drums.

Fleisch stopped talking when he saw the girl, and walked in with a sigh.

Peter looked at the girl and said in surprise, "Gwen, you're going to be a drummer?" ”

Gwen took the drum stick and gently tapped Peter's head: "I've been practicing for a long time - Peter, you have to be tough, I'll go in first, I'll see you later." ”

Peter scratched his head, still standing in the doorway, looking at Gwen's back, looking preoccupied, and even more out of place with the people next to him.

It wasn't until Harry's arrival that the inconsistencies eased a bit.

Harry is reluctant to show off his identity as the son of the Osborne group, and he is relatively cold to others, but he can't bear his surname Osborne, and people will look at him wherever he goes.

Harry patted Peter on the shoulder and walked over to him.

"Hey, genius, this is the prom, are you sure you want to bring your genius to the prom?"

"I'd like to go to the prom of geniuses, but I don't have a ticket." Peter shrugged.

The two brothers walked into the school side by side, which was filled with light bars and the dance was held in the gymnasium.

Peter was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking at everything around him with two eyes, looking at the classmates dressed in gold, he was a little envious in his heart.

After a while, Harry was taken away by the girl--

Peter sat and watched his classmates enjoy their youth, feeling a little overwhelmed and feeling like a misplaced doll.

An indescribable feeling came over him: he felt much more at home in the lab than here, even though he hadn't officially participated in the experiment.

But he was better than all his classmates in this area, and as he watched, he suddenly began to fantasize about how great it would be if he could actually join a big project!

It's like the artificial blood project.

If he participates in that project and it succeeds, he can become a real celebrity and a scientist who saves a lot of people

As he spoke, the lights of the dance party suddenly flashed, and all the lights gathered on the stage!

Cymbals!

Gwen, the drummer, vigorously struck the cymbals, and the lights instantly focused on the stage!

The host on the side also turned on the projection screen behind him-

"Welcome to this ball, I hope you enjoy the event and enjoy it!

We've got a special guest, and now, let's watch a video of her contribution to us! ”

Peter was stunned for a moment, looked up, and looked at the video like everyone else—

The first view of the video appears on the tall building - not on the inside of the building, but on the façade of the tall building!

This group of young people held their breath: this height, too high!

A beautiful female voice appears in the video:

"Hey guys, I'm going to wish you all a great time, and then, a happy graduation.

But that's not enough, I guess you should want to feel this--

Also, stop calling me 'spider-male'. ”

The person who took the video suddenly jumped from the tall building, her figure reflected on the appearance, and as she fell, the sun behind her changed from morning sun to sunset--

"Spider-Woman!"

An exclamation rang out.

Peter looked at the black, white and pink Spider Girl on the screen, and was a little stunned for a while.

In the video, Spider-Woman's perspective moves rapidly between buildings, carefully edited to show different streets at different times, from perspectives that ordinary people can't get.

Accompanied by music, it's like a show. A ballet with a height of tens of meters, Spider Girl is the ballet dancer.

Exclamations came and went, only Peter didn't say a word, but there was more emotion in his eyes staring at the screen than the others.

He wants to be like that.

And not the current Peter Parker.

"Stunned? Our nerds will also have people to like. ”

Harry appeared next to Peter, but Peter didn't even notice his good brother approaching.

"I," Peter paused, remembering that Gwen had toughened him up a bit, and he said, "Nobody doesn't like her, and now she's standing up and admitting that she's a girl." ”

"Well, no one will quarrel about this at last - what do you think she wants to do? This masked stuntman? ”

"I don't know, Harry, I'm not a psychologist." Peter shook his head, "But she's really charismatic." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Harry shrugged his shoulders and sat down next to Peter.

The two of them just watched the video with the others.

Syllable!

Suddenly, Peter was startled by the movement next to him, and he looked over to see that Harry had accidentally knocked over the cup!

Harry was a little embarrassed: "Uh, carelessly. ”

Then he reached for another quilt, but his hands were visibly shaking!

Harry pinched his forearm vigorously, sweat broke out on his forehead, and a voice squeezed out of his mouth: "This is. What's going on"

Syllable!

Another quilt had been dropped, and Harry's face was getting more and more ugly!

But this ugliness didn't last long, because the situation quickly worsened!

His breathing began to rapid, and he looked very painful!

Peter's head buzzed loudly, and he remembered what Norman had told him yesterday--

Family genetic disease!

Harry's commotion caused everyone around him to look at him, and Peter anxiously held Harry on, then shouted, "Call an ambulance!" Call an ambulance!

Damn, are they all deaf! ”

"What's wrong with me?" Harry couldn't control his hand, and the feeling made him so nervous that he could barely breathe!

The people were startled and took a few steps back, and Peter was helpless, when a white figure fell beside them!

Peter looked up - it was the Spider-Woman who had just appeared in the video!

"I'll take him to the hospital."

Spider-Woman picked Harry on her shoulder, barely jumped through the crowd, and disappeared into the night.

This athletic ability, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, is the most debated thing on the Internet, but no one can give an answer.

Considering the good things that Spider-Woman does occasionally, they can only understand that this may be a superhero, and they don't have to know too much about superhuman things.

The people applauded as they watched the hero save the sick, and Fleisch, who liked to bully Peter, blushed and cheered for the hero.

Only Peter, looking at the figure that disappeared into the night, became more and more lost.

The reality is: he can't do anything.

Any fantasy of participating in a big project and becoming a hero is just a fantasy.

Peter sat down in his chair, looking at the spilled drink, and suddenly the green potion came to his mind.

Or. He could be the first human experimenter --

Voluntary, there is no moral issue.

Those who are willing to sacrifice are of course also considered to have participated in the experiment.

He wanted to be a hero, to be the first person to eat a crab—

And not this Peter Parker now, this marginal man.
