At the same time, Garfield had already arrived at the power plant.

The moment he stepped into the power plant, the hairs on his body stood up.

The free static electricity in the air made every breath carry an inexplicable fishy smell, and the lights around were flickering unnaturally.

At this moment, Garfield suddenly saw a figure flashing in the middle of the power plant, and then he ran forward.

Take a closer look.

I saw two "people" emitting blue light all over their bodies dragging a hunchbacked black man and pressing hard on the circuit.

In order to avoid being discovered, Garfield hid behind a transformer and observed the strange scene in front of him.

The movements of the two electric men were almost mechanical. Every time they pressed Max's body, dazzling arcs of electricity burst out from their fingertips, drawing jagged lines in the air.

Max could only twist in pain as he was electrocuted, but his resistance seemed so powerless in front of these two counterparts.

The two electric men can control the intensity of the surrounding electric current to prevent Max from being electrocuted into charcoal.

an hour ago.

The power company was silent late at night, with only the sound of Max flipping through documents coming from the duty room.

He is checking the equipment maintenance records for this month.

But unexpectedly... I suddenly felt something was wrong in the air.

He touched his hair, and for some reason it suddenly stood up...

"Is there a power leak?"

Max put down the document, and his pupils suddenly contracted the moment he turned around.

Two figures emitting faint blue light appeared silently behind him.

"You...who are you?"

Max stepped back subconsciously, but his back soon hit the wall.

At this moment, the fluorescent lights in the duty room began to flicker violently, making a shrill buzzing sound.

"Found you, Max Dillon."

One of the electric men spoke, his voice carrying the noise of electricity.

"It's time for your humble, oppressed life to end."

Before Max could react, another Electric Man suddenly appeared in front of him.

The cold energy body passed through the desk and grabbed his wrist.

The intense electric current instantly caused Max's whole body to spasm, and he could hardly even scream.

“No…let me go!”

Max opened his mouth with difficulty and struggled, but his strength seemed useless in front of the two isomorphs.

"Noisy..."

The second Electro grabbed his other arm.

Two powerful electric currents converged in his body, and the severe pain caused his vision to begin to blur.

The electrical equipment in the office began to spin out of control. Computer screens flickered wildly and printers started and shut down on their own, making unpleasant mechanical noises.

"Your destiny was never to be a poor maintenance worker here,"

Electro dragged Max outside, his feet leaving two charred marks on the ground.

"You are destined to awaken and become one of us."

The sensor lights in the corridor popped and sparks flew as they passed.

Max wanted to call for help again, but this time his throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible strong electric current and he couldn't utter a word.

He could only watch himself being dragged towards unknown fear.

Wherever the three men went, the surveillance monitor in the security room suddenly exploded, scaring the security guard on duty so much that he jumped up from his chair.

When he rushed out to check, he only saw a flash of blue light at the end of the corridor and two strange scorch marks on the floor.

"Where are you taking me?"

Max was finally able to speak after one of the Electros released his hand.

"Go where you belong."

As the electric man spoke, he suddenly increased the strength of his hands.

The stronger electric current almost made Max faint.

“There, you will see the truth of this world.”

They headed toward a large substation on the edge of the city.

Max's consciousness had become blurred, but he could still feel the violent energy surging in his body.

The blood vessels beneath the skin began to glow a faint blue, as if something was awakening.

"What...what did you do to me?"

“We didn’t do anything,”

There was clearly some twisted expectation in the voices of the two electric men.

"Just helping you find your true self."

"soon……"

Among them, the Electric Man whispered.

"You will no longer be that cowardly human being. You will be reborn as pure elemental energy, free from the shackles of this flesh."

Back to the present.

"No...let me go!!"

Max tried hard to break free from the two electric men, but his body seemed limp and powerless from the electric shock.

"You must awaken..."

One of the electric men said, his voice crackling with noise.

"Look what the world has done to you."

Another electric man grabbed Max's head, and blue-white electric current flowed along his arms, turning into bio-energy and injected into Max's brain.

Max let out a shrill scream and his whole body twitched violently.

Garfield could see Max's veins glowing a strange blue light beneath his skin, as if something was coursing through his body.

Just as Garfield was watching the two strange electric men torturing Max, a slight sound of footsteps came into his ears.

His spider sense instantly gave a warning, and he turned his head sharply to look—

In the moonlight, a familiar figure was moving cautiously along the wall of the substation.

"Damn it! Why is Gwen here?"

Garfield's heart suddenly contracted.

He saw Gwen trying to go around a transformer and approach the scene.

From her perspective, she estimated that she would be able to see the horrifying scene if she took a few steps forward.

At this time, the powerful energy fluctuations created by Electric Man had already filled the air with dangerous static electricity, and even Garfield's hair stood on end.

If Gwen approaches rashly, the consequences will be disastrous.

So Garfield shot out spider silk without any hesitation, and it landed lightly behind Gwen.

Before she could even utter a cry of surprise, Garfield covered her mouth with his hand and put his other arm around her waist, pulling her into the shadows.

"Well!"

Gwen tensed and instinctively struggled, but soon relaxed upon recognizing Garfield's touch and face.

"Shh..."

Garfield whispered in her ear.

"Be quiet. It's dangerous over there."

At this time, Garfield could feel Gwen's body trembling, not sure if it was because of shock... or because of the scene before him.

Garfield released his hand from around her mouth, but still kept her protected in the shadows.

"I came right over as soon as you texted me... Why are you here?"

Garfield asked in a low voice, with a hint of blame and worry in his tone.

"Actually, you remember that I am an intern employee of Osborne... I received an abnormal alarm at the substation."

Gwen explained quietly, keeping her eyes on the eerie blue light in the distance.

"The power grid showed that the energy fluctuations in this area were abnormally strong. I thought it was a device failure...

"I didn't expect it, oh my god...what is that?"

"Uh... some kind of energy life form."

Garfield said briefly.

"They seem to be... transforming that person. Okay, listen to me, this is too dangerous, Gwen... You have to leave here immediately."

But Gwen shook her head and pulled out of his embrace.

"No, Peter... You don't understand. If we let them continue like this, the entire substation might be overloaded, and then half the city will be plunged into darkness."

"The devastation caused by a power outage is no less than that caused by a natural disaster. I can't leave..."

Garfield frowned as he looked at her determined eyes, knowing that he couldn't easily convince this stubborn girl.

"Even so, you should let me handle it... You don't know how dangerous these things are."
