Just as Gwen Spider-Man and Peter were introducing Riley to the various laboratories intermittently, a figure wearing a black windbreaker and a revolver on his waist walked in.
"Oh, Shadow Spider-Man." Gwen turned around and called out his name. Shadow Spider-Man was stunned for a moment when he saw this group of people here. He is not a very talkative person, and he doesn't have many body movements, but The obvious pause still made Gwen a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Gwen asked.
"Why are you here?" Shadow Spider-Man's voice was very low, not like Peter Parker at all. His eyes under the mask looked at Gwen and said: "Doctor Schiller asked me to pick up the newcomer, but you two Why are you here?"
"We are responsible for introducing new people to the situation."
"Then you won't go to the Air Transport Technology Expo in Queens?" Shadow Spider-Man tilted his head slightly and said: "You can only get credits if you clock in within three hours of the opening of the expo. It's already been 1 hour and 20 minutes. , are you sure you can make it in time?"
"What?!" Gwen screamed in surprise. She immediately rushed out from the gap in the sofa, looked at Shadow Spider-Man and said: "There are credits for checking in, when did it happen?!! "
"You don't have the Spider APP's notification turned on, do you?" Shadow Spider-Man hit the nail on the head. Gwen hesitated and said, "Well, I find it a bit annoying for Nick to send group messages every day. I need to rest..." Na
After saying that, she hurriedly picked up the mobile phone beside her, held the mobile phone in both hands and started to check the messages in the APP. After scrolling for a long time, she found the notification of checking in for the technology expo in the top message yesterday.
"Oh my god, there are 20 points?!" Gwen screamed. She looked at the content on the screen dumbfounded and said, "Is this serious? This is almost as much as my working hours in a day!!"
Gwen paused for a moment, then quickly put the phone back into her coat, tied up her hair with a rubber band, put on her mask and hood again, gestured to Peter, and said while running out: "I'll leave the new one to you, I'll leave first!"
After running to the door, he turned back and grabbed the door frame with both hands, stuck his head out and said, "By the way, remind Dr. Schiller that the five minutes I spent receiving the newcomers, don't forget to charge them to my account!"
Peter shook his head and said: "I guess, if she brought you here privately, she would definitely deduct more points than 5 points. Even if Dr. Schiller doesn't deduct it, Director Nick will deduct it. He will not let any of the points be deducted." Opportunity."
Riley opened his mouth again and asked with some anxiety: "Will the credits be deducted?"
"Of course." Shadow Spider-Man stepped forward and sat where Gwen was sitting. He took out a bottle of whiskey from his arms. He didn't ask anyone else if they wanted to drink. He took a sip first and then said : "Not only will credits be deducted, they can also be deducted negative." Na
Riley's eyes widened, and Peter nodded and said, "Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that you are a newbie and don't understand the rules, you would have been deducted at least 50 points just for walking around the Bronx."
"When we first came here, we always got into trouble." Shadow Spider-Man said without hesitation: "Every Spider-Man has fighting crime and justice engraved in his bones. When he sees someone being robbed on the street, he wants to help.
When you see the police in trouble, you have to help them, and even when the traffic police stop you, you have to help them.”
"But this universe is indeed very different from other universes. Sometimes helping people is a waste of time. There have been many times when Spider-Man has sought justice, which has delayed the progress of experimental research, or even ended the experiment halfway.
I left it alone and went to catch the criminals, which led to an experimental accident."
"Dr. Connors and Dr. Otto strongly protested, and even Tony Stark went to S.H.I.E.L.D. several times to recruit people. Therefore, a punishment mechanism was added to the credits later, and the fight against crime could only be carried out within a designated time period.
, and each Spider-Man is divided into different areas, and he must greet the police there and cannot take action at will."
"Of course, if the police encounter trouble they can't solve, they will also contact the Spider-Man in charge of their area. Credits will also be given for such tasks, so your act of justice in the Bronx may be robbing someone else.
of credits.”
"But I didn't see Spider-Man in that area take action?" Riley frowned and said, "Could he just sit back and ignore all kinds of violent incidents just to wait for help in exchange for credits?"
"Of course not, there is no Spider-Man like that." Peter said: "He didn't do anything, just because he wanted to observe the situation. There may be bigger troubles behind the violent actions you saw, so he jumped into the middle of the road.
, shouting 'I want to fight you' at everyone, or punching each of them, will not lead to results." Na
"Oh, by the way, who is the person in charge of that area?" Peter pushed up his glasses and asked curiously.
"It's Peter Parker, but I don't know which Peter Parker it is." Shadow Spider-Man pursed his lips. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, but the movement of operating the mobile phone was a bit clumsy. He sent a message and asked.
Said: "I'm really not used to this kind of high technology. Even computers were a rarity in our time."
Peter also took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen. Along with a person with a revolver head asking questions in the group, messages soon began to flood the screen. Peter used his excellent dynamic vision to scroll through countless past messages.
, and keenly captured the answer.
"Oh my god, this is so unlucky. It's that Peter." Peter raised his eyebrows, looked at Shadow Spider-Man and said, "That's the Peter who is still lying in the nursing home."
Shadow Spider-Man was also a little surprised. He put away the wine bottle in his hand, shook his head and said, "That's really a bit troublesome. His injury is quite serious. He won't be able to get better for a while, and he is also a little depressed. I'm afraid
There is no way to get involved in security work so quickly."
"Then let me go." Riley immediately raised his hand and said, "I have been living there since I came to this universe. I know the situation there quite well. I really want to help."
Shadow Spider-Man and Peter looked at each other, and Peter said hesitantly: "Sorry, Mr. Riley, I can understand your mood. Every Peter Parker wants to help, but with all due respect, your method of helping is slightly A little..."sodium
"We can't help the police beat the protesters, or help the protesters beat the police. This is wrong. This is completely helping the masterminds behind the scenes to intensify their conflicts, and is being used as a weapon."
Peter, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, frowned. He had inherited all the memories and experiences of Peter from this universe, and Peter from this universe was obviously particularly talented at weaving webs.
The Peter Parker of this universe is no longer the reckless boy who wields his fists. In other words, on the contrary, because he is very close to Schiller, he has also inherited the wise man's temperament from this psychiatrist and is very knowledgeable about strategies and even conspiracies. Have the ability to find things based on pictures.
"I suspect that the man behind the scenes may have already noticed that there is a Peter Parker living in this jurisdiction, and it is obvious that he discovered that this Peter Parker has just arrived and is confused about the situation."
"He frequently provoked protests there, constantly intensified conflicts, and even arranged violent conflicts, just to get Peter Parker to take action."
"If I guessed correctly, it was not just the New Warriors team that was there that day, there must have been reporters or photographers lurking in the dark, trying to drag Peter Parker down."
"But people don't know Peter Parker is Spider-Man," Riley retorted.
"That just so happens that Peter Parker is much more important than Spider-Man in this world." Shadow Spider-Man explained: "Actually, the reputation of the third generation of Spider-Man is not very good. People are quite criticizing him, although there is also a lack of supporters. But the reviews are far from as good as the first Spider-Man."
"On the contrary, Peter Parker is a well-known young talent. Everyone knows that he is the popular person in front of Stark and Osborn. If he is dragged into the water, he will naturally be able to drag the two big companies into the water."
"If Peter Parker, a talented person who studies shuttle and air transport technology, shows up at a protest and helps the police beat the protesters, how do you think people will view him? How will they view Stark and Osborn? And What do you think about air transportation technology?”
Riley felt his heartbeat speeding up, and cold sweat broke out from his back. He licked his dry lips and said, "I almost got into a big trouble, didn't I?"
"I guess you didn't understand the situation in the first few days after you arrived, and you also put it on your face that you were an outsider who had never seen the world, so that they knew they could plot against you, but it's not your fault."
"Peter, who is in charge of that area, is injured and is temporarily unable to maintain law and order. I'm afraid we have to solve this problem together."
Peter stood up and said: "The other me, the real Peter Parker in this world, has now gone to other universes to test new technologies and cannot come back for the time being. And I have to go to the Stark Laboratory later. Mr. Stark is very busy recently, and I am looking after many projects." Na
"So, I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you personally, but I will call Jarvis later and ask them to provide you with technical support. The first priority is to prepare a new suit for you."
Just as Riley opened his mouth to say that he had a suit, Shadow Spider-Man interrupted him and said: "Every Spider-Man who comes here must make some adjustments to his suit, otherwise you will see dozens of long-haired spiders."
The exact same Spider-Man is swinging in the air, we must have our own unique logo, otherwise Nick will deduct points."
Peter spread his hands and said as if he were joking: "We are all his little lambs. We have to put tags on our ears. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be thrown out."
Riley pursed his lips and felt a little awkward. He couldn't bear to part with his old uniform. He felt there was nothing wrong with his old uniform, and he didn't like to label himself.
This awkward mood only lasted a few minutes later, when a steel suit delivered a sparkling uniform to him.
Riley stared at the spider suit on the steel suit in stunned silence. He opened his mouth and blinked. Peter stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, put it on and try it out."
"No...but it..." Na
Riley was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Shadow Spider-Man shook his head and said, "Don't make a fuss. This is a high-tech world after all. It's normal to have some miniature weapons and armor on the suit, right?"
"I know, but...what's going on with this magical radiance??!!!"
