Marvel's Spider-Man: Across the Universe

Chapter 18: The "World of Two" with Gwen

There is a beautiful woman beside her, but she doesn't want to talk to him, she just wants to be quiet, and she doesn't tell him who Jing Jing is.

Bede, who was bored, was quickly attracted by the picture on the LCD screen opposite.

The person on the screen was Mary Jane whom he and Shadow Spider had met from afar when they arrived near Aunt May's house the night before.

This should be the picture from her interview yesterday.

Mary Jane still had a faint sadness on her face, obviously not recovering from the shadow of losing Peter.

Still looking tired.

According to Aunt May, ever since the Ultimate Spider's identity was revealed and news of his death spread, Mary Jane has been stalked by various people.

Some fans of Ultimate Spider came to express their concern and greetings, and some villains that Ultimate Spider dealt with tried to retaliate. Fortunately, the New York police arranged for someone to protect her, which avoided a lot of trouble.

And more are media reporters from various TV stations, newspapers, etc. After all, in the past two days, "Spiderman's death" is the traffic code.

In fact, even Aunt Mei's house often gathers a lot of people, which is why the Shadow Spider and the others have been staying in the underground spider cave.

Even Bede and Gwen Spider could sneak out quietly early in the morning when no one was around.

In fact, if Mary Jane hadn't attracted most of the firepower, the number of people on Aunt May's side would probably have doubled.

At this time, Mary Jane's voice sounded in the picture:

"My husband, Peter Parker."

"He used to be a normal guy."

"He always said that anyone can be the man behind the mask."

"He just happened to be bitten by a spider"

"That's not what he meant."

"But he chose to be Spider-Man."

"What I love most about Peter is that he empowers us all!"

"Each of us has our own power."

"We're Spider-Man in our own way."

"we need you."

For some reason, when he heard these few words, Bede's heart was touched a little.

Unconsciously, he thought of the line that often appeared with Spider-Man.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

This is what Uncle Ben, as an elder, taught the younger generation he cared about before he died.

Before traveling through time, he had seen many people's self-righteous so-called understanding of this sentence.

Some people say that this is actually "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility", but is this Uncle Ben's character design?

Is this what an elder should say to a younger generation?

If that were the case, Uncle Ben wouldn't be Uncle Ben, and Peter Parker wouldn't be the Spider-Man that so many people love.

Without contacting the context, out of the context, and making wild guesses, you are playing hooligans!

Of course, Bede doesn't have "Uncle Ben", and the education he received since he was a child is very different from that of Spider-Man.

But this does not prevent him from pursuing the meaning behind "ability".

Is it because of the ability to become what kind of person, or is it because of what kind of person you want to be that you study hard and improve yourself.

"Anyone can be the person behind the mask!" Peeta repeated in a low voice, feeling as if he had found the direction of his efforts.

Whether to become a "spider monster" whose power loses his heart, or a "Spiderman" who uses his heart to drive his power.

The choice is in his hands!

He doesn't have "Uncle Ben", but the ultimate spider may be his "Uncle Ben", guiding him to tame his own power, so as not to go astray!

"Anyone can be the man behind the mask."

At this time, another murmur came from his ears, breaking Bede's thoughts.

It's the voice of Gwen Spider!

Bede turned his head sideways in surprise, this was the first sentence Gwen Spider said after sitting here for so long.

"Do you know, actually, I also know a Peter. He and I are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together. I have a relatively withdrawn personality, and he is my best and only friend."

"But I didn't know him well enough. I just kept immersed in my own world until everything was irreversible."

Gwen Spider's voice was very low, and the sadness revealed in his tone made people feel distressed.

In fact, after hearing this, Bee probably knew what was going on.

Just like Garfield lost his Gwen in The Amazing Spider-Man, Gwen apparently lost her Peter.

Sure enough, what Gwen Spider said next proved Bede's guess.

In the world of Gwen Spider, it was Gwen who was bitten by the spider and gained the ability to mutate, and Peter Parker continued to be his ordinary little transparent because of this.

Sometimes he was bullied by Ned and asked Gwen Spider to help him out.

The original intention of Gwen Spider is to protect her good friend from being bullied by others.

But sometimes this kind of kindness can also turn into a psychological burden.

Peter Parker was not reconciled to his mediocrity, and he was not reconciled to being protected by Gwen all the time.

So he researched a kind of biological medicine—the mutated lizard potion. After drinking the mutated lizard potion, his body underwent a huge mutation, which even affected his sanity.

He turned into a monster!

A huge lizard!

Lizard Peter!

The lizard Peter, who has lost his sanity, has only revenge in his mind.

So he broke into the reunion of his classmates, grabbed Ned who often bullied him, and prepared to revenge.

Gwen Spider stopped him just in time.

But at that time, she didn't know that the big lizard in front of her was her best friend.

After a hard fight, she defeated Peter the Lizard.

At this time, the mutant lizard potion expired, revealing Peter's figure.

Peter's frail body was completely destroyed by the mutated lizard potion, and finally died in her arms!

From then on, she stopped trying to make friends and became a loner completely.

Hearing this, Bee suddenly realized.

It's no wonder that from the moment she saw the Gwen spider, she acted like no one should enter.

I thought it was cold, but it turned out to be a psychological shadow, so I closed myself.

Peeta stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Gwen Spider.

Gwen Spider regained consciousness from the memory, turned to look at him with surprise in his eyes.

Neither of them are wearing masks now, purely showing their true colors.

They are not from this world anyway, so there is nothing to hide.

As for why no one came to them, it was because with the death of the ultimate spider, there has been an upsurge of cosplaying Spider-Man in many places recently.

Especially in New York City, where the ultimate spider lives, walking on the street, within ten steps, you can bump into three or four people wearing Spider-Man clothes, and the remaining six or seven are either wearing hoods or wearing hoods. with some other peripheral items.

Whether they are fans or not, everyone seems to have tacitly brought something related to Spider-Man in the past few days to express their condolences to this superhero who has been silently guarding him.

Even in the subway car they were sitting in, there were several similar ones.

Before showing the spider ability, others probably thought they were just two cosplayers.

Facing the gaze cast by Gwen Spider, Bede said seriously: "I'm sorry for what happened to your friend. But we have an old saying in Hanxia, ​​which is 'this person has passed away, but the living is like this', which means to We will make up for the irreparable regrets of the deceased on the living. The living should live well."

When saying that old saying, Bede used Chinese.

Gwen Spider was a little dazed, and subconsciously repeated in very poor Chinese: "This person is dead, and the living is like this."

A bright smile appeared on Peeta's face: "If you don't mind, can I be your friend?"
