While the barbarians are preparing everything they need for the festival.
Of course guys from other places won't be idle.
And not all the young barbarians returned to the Holy Mountain.
At least Matthew didn't come back.
Spider-Man had been frightened before, and Matthew was taking care of the young man.
Although he himself is not very old.
But compared to Spider-Man, he is still more mature.
"Mr. Matthew, you can go about your own business.
My current situation is pretty good.”
Spider-Man said weakly.
He is currently staying at Matthew's house.
And his condition is obviously not as good as he said...
Although he wasn't exactly burly, at least his body was plump.
But now he looks much thinner.
"I'm worried about your condition.
Although I can't see it, I can smell the fear in your soul.
To be honest, you may not be able to fight at all now."
Matthew's faces were all crowded together.
This was the first time he had seen such a situation, and it was completely different from being frightened in the ordinary sense.
At least most people will not have this kind of fear coming from their souls after being severely frightened.
"I still insist on my idea, maybe you should go to the Holy Mountain of Harrogath with me.
If I can't solve the problem, they may be able to solve it."
Matthew is still trying to persuade Spider-Man.
"I just want to lie down like this now. At least I can relax a little while lying down."
Spider-Man's voice became weaker and weaker.
He was frightened at the time. After Matthew brought him back, Spider-Man's muscles all over his body were tense.
At that time, Matthew wanted to find a psychiatrist to come and look at Spider-Man.
But Spider-Man's state of being almost unable to take care of himself made Matthew afraid to leave.
Although Matthew didn't know why he felt that he would be unlucky once he left Spider-Man.
But he still chose to trust his intuition.
"If you continue like this, your life will soon come to an end.
I think you worked so hard to protect others before, just because you can go to heaven after you die, right?"
Matthew frowned and asked.
“I just don’t know what to do except help others.
I'm a little weak compared to you.
But only the heart that helps others is passionate!”
Spider-Man's mood fluctuated, and Matthew wasn't sure whether this was a good thing or not.
"You haven't gone to work for several days.
He also hasn't appeared in the public eye as Spider-Man for several days.
I think there may have been rumors out there that you gave up your status as a hero."
Matthew wanted to try to use words to inspire Spider-Man's enthusiasm.
It's a pity that these words don't seem to have any effect.
"I don't want to do anything."
Spider-Man's voice regained that weak feeling.
Just listening to this voice, it would not be surprising if he died the next moment.
"Maybe you should read today's Daily Bugle.
"Where did Spider-Man go?"
This title, and the author of this article.
The boss you hated before wrote it himself."
Matthew reluctantly handed the newspaper in his hand to Spider-Man.
This article is not much different from the past. The whole article is trying to discredit Spider-Man.
It was even claimed that Spider-Man escaped from the battlefield.
Especially at a time when most people know that demons are about to attack humanity.
This article portrays Spider-Man as a coward who is afraid of evil and runs away.
It is even said that Spider-Man only dares to face enemies who are weaker than him.
Although Matthew couldn't see it in person, he could have his friends read it to him.
"Is it Jameson?
What did he say?"
Spider-Man hasn't changed at all.
Although he was asking questions, his performance was more like a response to prevent Matthew's actions from becoming a one-man show.
He himself seemed to have no interest in it at all.
"I think what he said may make sense.
What you fear now may really be the devil.
And you choose to refuse help from others.
I can't understand why you are so resistant to help from others."
Matthew seemed a little disappointed.
This isn't the first time he's tried to help Spider-Man these days.
But this kind of help is a waste for both people.
There is even a saying among relatives that there is no filial son in bedside for a long time.
Matthew and Spider-Man are just friends.
This kind of help will eventually turn into rejection one day.
"I can't describe to you what I'm going through right now.
But I can guarantee that this feeling is not as simple as you said."
There was a little sincerity in Spider-Man's voice.
"I probably understand.
So we should find someone who can help you.
I just received news from Rumlow.
A celebration is taking place on the Holy Mountain.
Bulkesso was over there at this time.
I think he should be able to help you.
You are a good man, and Bulcaisel will not refuse to help a kind man."
Matthew is still persuading.
It's just that he himself has lost confidence in himself.
"I don't think I can climb that holy mountain that requires courage.
I may have become weak, but at least I still have self-awareness.
My heart was full of fear, but I didn't have much courage to support my actions.
Maybe you can ask Bulcasso to come over in person."
Spider-Man looked like he was breaking a jar.
His words were even full of contempt for Bulcasso.
It's like Bulcaisel is someone who comes at the drop of a hat.
"I'll try.
But you'd better not think that these are things we should do.
Know that you live in my home now.
Do nothing every day.
I don't know how long you can tolerate someone staying next to you like a parasite.
But I don’t have that much patience.”
Matthew said something important.
If Spider-Man had some emotional fluctuations about this, he would really ask Bulcasso if he could come over in person.
But if Spider-Man is completely ruined, then all Matthew can do is give Spider-Man a decent ending...
Even if he doesn't want to.
"Let me go.
At least I can't be a hero now.
Can't even live like a normal person.
My mind is still clear, but there seems to be a gap between my body and my soul.
It's like I'm trapped in my own body in a physical body called Peter Parker.
I can’t find the source of this change.”
Spider-Man pondered for a while before speaking slowly.
This performance is extremely disappointing.
But at least it wasn't the worst outcome Matthew feared.
"How do you leave now?
Lie on my bed and let me throw you out?
Perhaps I should call Mr. Jameson over before I go to Bulcaisel to get help for you.
Let him see what the Spider-Man he once hated looks like now?"
After Matthew said these words, he left the scene directly.
Spider-Man is almost incapacitated anyway.
Round-the-clock care is not required.
Although it can't go unnoticed for a long time.
But one or two hours can still be left for Matthew.
Spider-Man, who was lying on the bed, turned his head slightly and glanced at the Daily Bugle that was casually placed on the bed.
Then the title "Where did Spider-Man go?" is right in the middle.
Spider-Man twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he was going to smile.
But in the end he gave up.
"Jameson, your skills have declined.
The news headline should be simpler. If it is the original one, you will probably be able to write it better.
Like "Where's Spider-Man?"
Spider-Man said to himself.
Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Matthew on the other side was using Jump Slash all the way towards the Daily Bugle.
Now people here are almost used to guys flying over suddenly.
There are already a lot of people with super powers.
Most people are already used to it.
There were not even many people who took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
The location of the Daily Bugle newspaper is not a luxurious one.
But the flow of people is still quite large.
Perhaps this has something to do with the small size of the newspaper.
Matthew arrived at this place quickly.
It has been some time since Matthew last passed by this location.
But Matthew could sense that the atmosphere in the Daily Bugle was a bit strange.
Although people are still busy, they are a bit more lifeless.
Matthew tidied up his appearance.
After making sure there was nothing wrong with the suit he was wearing, he walked in directly.
Along the way, no one came to receive him or inquire about his purpose.
Matthew walked directly into Jameson's office.
Didn't even knock on the door.
"Who are you!?"
Jameson raised his head and looked at Matthew who walked in like no one else and asked.
Although Matthew couldn't see Jameson's sloppy look.
But from the perspective of soul, we can see the depression in Jameson's soul.
"I came here to ask about Spider-Man."
Matthew did not directly tell the purpose of his visit, but rather concealed it a little.
He noticed that as the three words "Spider-Man" were spoken, Jameson's soul fluctuated violently.
Even with a sense of guilt...
"I don't know Spider-Man's identity!
If you plan to come to me to find Spider-Man's identity, then your trip will be in vain.
If you come to quarrel with me over today's newspaper.
Then please leave.
You can choose to hire a lawyer to explore with me.
However, I will not compensate for any mental damages.
News reporting requires truth, but speculation is also allowed!”
Jameson said a series of words.
Matthew could sense Jameson's uneasiness.
"You think Spider-Man disappeared because of your reporting?"
Matthew was a little curious.
He could only think of Jameson's guilt coming from this.
"It's best if he disappears!
People wearing masks cannot be trusted!"
Jameson's tone was obviously furious.
Matthew's words stung his soul.
"What if I said, I can take you to meet Spider-Man?
Maybe you will have some different opinions after meeting him."
Matthew revealed a little bit of the truth.
He felt that Jameson should be trustworthy.
This person really acted like he was very concerned about Spider-Man's situation.
Although he had made such a conjecture before.
But after actually meeting Jameson, I gradually connected the image I had imagined with the mean-looking middle-aged man in front of me.
"You know who Spider-Man is!?"
Jameson stood up completely.
He placed his hands on the table and leaned his upper body towards Matthew.
That kind of eagerness cannot be faked.
Before Matthew became a savage, he could detect lies based on other people's heartbeats.
It is impossible to hide the emotional fluctuations of ordinary people from Matthew.
"Impossible! No one knows Spider-Man's true identity!"
Jameson immediately denied what he said before.
But his body still maintained that anxious posture.
"No, I know.
I just want to ask you now if you would like to meet Spider-Man at this time.
Maybe after meeting him, you will gain something different."
Matthew is very serious.
The person in front of me is not a purely good person, but he is not a bad person either.
The breath of the soul cannot deceive others.
At least this Jameson has more of a kind spirit in his soul.
When Spider-Man didn't encounter any accidents, Matthew talked to him about Jameson.
This is an unlikable boss.
But he is also an ethical journalist...
People with integrity can't be bad at all...probably...
"Now! Immediately! Take me there!"
Jameson finally stopped hiding his thoughts.
He walked out directly from behind the desk.
Then he opened the door directly and walked away in a hurry.
Matthew smiled and followed closely.
On the way back with Jameson, he couldn't use Jump Slash as he did when he came here.
…
"So why are you taking me to find Spider-Man?
Why do you want me to drive!?”
Jameson complained as he drove.
It was only then that Matthew took off his sunglasses, revealing his pale eyes.
"It would be illegal if I drove.
Although I can determine the surrounding situation even more than what you can see with your eyes.
But the law stipulates that blind people cannot obtain a driver's license."
Matthew was still in the mood to make a little joke.
Jameson resisted the thought of continuing to stare at Matthew and turned his head to look at the road.
"So you are also a superhero?
Partner with Spider-Man!?
Then why do you want me, a guy who hates Spider-Man, to meet him?"
Jameson now has a series of questions in his mind.
He was thinking hard about who Spider-Man's partners were...
He claims to be the person who knows Spider-Man best, but he can never remember Spider-Man having any close fighting partners.
"He needs help.
I have tried very hard to help him.
But my method obviously doesn't work very well.
By the way, turn right at the intersection ahead.
After seeing the sign for Murdoch Law Firm, we walked a little further.
Then just stop at the intersection."
Matthew gave Jameson the address.
He took out a business card from his coat pocket.
Of course it's not Daredevil's business card, but his business card as a lawyer.
"Lawyer Murdoch?
So you are not Spider-Man’s fighting partner, but the one who provides Spider-Man with legal help!?
But I haven't heard of Spider-Man being very law-abiding."
Jameson said as he put the business card aside.
"I'm Spider-Man's fighting partner.
Although we rarely go together to defend justice.
But I'm not weak.
Okay, let's go up.
Spider-Man is inside.
I think you'll be surprised by who Spider-Man is."
Matthew was a little helpless.
Jameson has a little more problems.
But as a journalist, it's not a problem that Jameson likes to ask questions.
This is normal.
"Wait a minute, you're really not a bad person!?
Or are you planning to use me as a hostage to threaten Spider-Man’s appearance!?
If this is your plan, I advise you to give it up.
Everyone knows I hate Spider-Man.
If you use me to threaten Spider-Man to show up, you may not get what you want."
Jameson was a little scared.
After the previous impulse was replaced by reason,
This fear began to become stronger little by little.
"you think too much.
Spider-Man is up there, I kid you not.
There is no need to lie to you.
He does need help, and you are just the person I think can help him."
Matthew walked directly ahead.
Nor to control Jameson's freedom.
This will at least make Jameson less nervous...
Although it would be the easiest way to just lift him up and sneak him up...
