Chapter 138: Inheritance
Central City High School.
Peter Parker lay motionless on the table, his eyes glancing out of the window from ti to ti, and his mind was full of the figure of the blond girl.
"Hey ---Peter, you still alive?" A fat man ca over and patted the shoulder of the stunned teenager.
Peter Parker looked up and glanced at it. Then he lay on the table and said weakly, "Ned, I have no mind to joke with you. Let
lie down for a while, okay?"
This fat man nad Ned was one of his best friends.
If it was in normal tis, Peter might have joked with him a few tis, but today he had no idea at all. He just wanted to wait quietly.
Ned's expression was a little strange. "What's wrong with you? Are you still thinking about Gwen?"
Peter Parker's eyes were a little dim, and he said in a low muffled voice, "I just... want to know where she went..."
Ever since they parted at the pizza shop that day, Gwen had not co to school for a month.
Generally speaking, as long as the students disappeared for three days, the school would definitely call the parents to ask.
Unfortunately, the information that Gwen left behind was all fake.
Not only that, when the school called the police, they found that even the na Gwen Stacy was fake. There was no such person!
The police departnt simply set the case as missing.
There are thousands of missing cases in New York City every year, and most of them are linked to the gangs in countless ways. They belong to cases that can not be investigated at all.
In the United States, black households have no human rights.
Even if they were missing, the police were not qualified to investigate the case, so this matter could only be left unsettled in the end.
Just like this...
In just a month, almost everyone forgot about Gwen Stacy.
Only Peter Parker refused to give up and searched for traces of Gwen every day.
"Give up, Peter."
Ned's face was squeezed into a ball. He sighed and said, "The police can't find her. Can you find her?"
"No!"
Peter Parker said with a stubborn face, "I will definitely be able to find Gwen!"
Seeing that his best friend was determined to not give up, Ned couldn't bear to strike him down. "We've been looking for her for a month, and there's not even a clue. Are you sure Gwen is her real na?"
"I'm sure, that must be her real na!" Peter Parker firmly said: "She told
that Gwen Stacy is her na. I believe she won't lie to !"
Ned raised a thumb: "In that case, I support you. I'll help you find it!"
"Thank you, Ned." Peter Parker looked gratefully at Ned, got up and hugged him.
"I can help you too ---"
A girl ca over, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and said faintly: "If you are looking for soone, I can ask my uncle for help. He works at the police station in New York City."
"MJ..."
Looking at the girl, Peter Parker scratched his head awkwardly, a little embarrassed.
The original na of the MJ was Michelle, and it was his crush.
But now, in this situation, he always felt that it was a little inappropriate to let his crush help to find another girl.
Michelle seed to see Peter's hesitation. Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, "The best way to find soone is the surveillance inside the police station, right?"
As soon as this was said, Peter Parker was silent.
As Michelle had said, the fastest way to find Gwen was through the surveillance caras in the police station.
"Thank... thank you, MJ!"
Peter Parker took a deep breath and gave Michelle a grateful look.
"No need to thank ."
Michelle smiled mischievously, "When you find Gwen, rember to treat
to a al."
"No problem!"
Peter Parker patted his chest and promised loudly.
...
After school.
Peter rode ho alone.
"Hello, Peter Parker."
A big man in a black leather jacket, with only one hand, suddenly appeared and stopped him.
Peter Parker's heart skipped a beat. He thought that he had provoked soone he should not have. He carefully said, "Can I ask first, what are you looking for
for?"
The big man stared at him with no expression. After a few seconds, he said, "My na is Frank Castel, I am Gwen's... I can barely be considered her colleague."
Peter Parker's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly, "Do you know Gwen? Do you know where she is? I have been looking for her for a long ti. How is she now?"
Several questions in a row made Frank look a little sad.
"What... what happened?"
Seeing Frank's abnormal expression, Peter Parker subconsciously swallowed his saliva and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"She..."
Frank wanted to say sothing but hesitated, wondering if he should tell the boy about Gwen's death.
"She... What happened to her?" Peter Parker widened his eyes, and his breathing could not help but speed up. His two hands clenched into fists, as if he was afraid to hear bad news.
Frank sighed and said, "She... is dead."
Boom!
This news was no less than a bolt from the blue, exploding directly in Peter's mind, making his brain blank!
Seeing this scene, Frank's eyes flashed with a trace of reluctance.
He originally did not want to tell Peter, but after thinking about it, as the only friend that Gwen recognized before his death, Peter had the right to know about Gwen's death.
"Dead... dead?"
After a long ti, Peter Parker was relieved. He looked at Frank in disbelief. His lips squird little by little. "This is impossible... How can she die... She can't die..."
"This is the truth."
Frank looked sad and whispered, "I... saw her die in front of . I didn't protect her well. I'm sorry."
"Impossible!"
The veins on Peter Parker's face bulged. He used his greatest strength and shouted, "She can't die! You must be lying to !"
Frank was silent. He took out a bloody rag from his arms and stuffed it into Peter Parker's hand.
Peter Parker stiffly lowered his head and saw that in the center of the rag was a familiar spider pattern. His whole body was suddenly as cold as if he was imrsed in an ice house!
He recognized this pattern, which was exactly the sa as the badge that Gwen gave him!
Dead...
Gwen... is really dead!
Peter Parker was pale, his eyes lost light, and his whole person was like a deflated balloon, paralyzed on the cold cent floor.
Frank sighed, "Gwen... is a very outstanding superhero. You are the only one who rembers her and the only friend she recognizes. I hope you can restrain your grief."
After that, Frank turned and left.
He did not tell Peter who Gwen's enemy was, because Peter was just an ordinary person, and there was no benefit in being involved.
...
Peter Parker was confused and did not know how he returned ho.
Without paying attention to Aunt May's voice, Peter Parker went straight into the room and locked himself in it.
He wanted to be quiet...
Peter Parker buried himself under the pillow, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he tried his best to suppress his crying, not daring to let Aunt May and uncle outside hear it.
Tears flowed out of his eyes, wet the sheets and wet his face.
I don't know how long I cried...
Until all the sadness turned into powerlessness.
Peter Parker suddenly rembered the badge, which was the last trace that proved the existence of Gwen.
He was like a walking corpse, coming down from the bed and taking out the spider badge from his backpack.
"Gwen..."
Peter Parker clenched the badge tightly, and ca out to read. Tears flowed out of his eyes again and fell on the badge drop by drop.
...
Tears fell on the badge, and the shining spider pattern lit up!
Buzz ---
In Peter Parker's surprised eyes, the spider badge actually opened from the middle!
Whoosh ---
A colorful spider jumped out of the badge.
Then the spider took advantage of Peter's stunned ti to bite the back of his hand!
