Chapter 60 Critical Point

After briefly discussing this topic, the professor decided to bring the conversation back to the main topic. Gwen might change from not killing to accepting "eliminating all evil", but it was still the same principle. A girl like Gwen would not change her principle unless she experienced some things.

"So you can't do it. You can only fight one by one, as many evil people as there are..." The professor hesitated for a moment, and he held Gwen's shoulders - the girl's slender arms made him feel a little pity, but he still decided to give his own judgment:

"Even if one day you learn to kill and eliminate all evil, you will find that all kinds of super villains are still emerging, especially gangsters like Kingpin."

Gwen lowered her head. From her experience, she knew that what the professor said was true, but this "true" could only make her feel more powerless for no reason.

"The so-called gangs, they exist for a reason." Raymond turned around, his back to Gwen, and narrated in a flat tone: "Where the law does not reach in a society, there will naturally be other rules to replace it; where there is no order in a society, order will naturally form spontaneously - but the process of forming this order is extremely barbaric and unbearable to watch."

Raymond did not turn around, but looked back and saw Gwen turned her head to look out the window, but still listened carefully - this was probably because she was trying to think to keep up with the professor's words.

"Are you saying that what Kingpin did is what the New York City government should have done but didn't do well?"

After thinking for a while, Gwen turned around and caught Raymond's eyes before he dodged her eyes. Her expression was serious and she drew inferences from Raymond's words, "You mean, if federal agencies at all levels don't do these things, then the gangs will always occupy this position?"

Raymond turned around and looked at Gwen Stacy with some surprise, carefully choosing her words, frowning, and answering her seriously.

Frankly speaking, with the average IQ of Americans for such things, he thought Gwen would need to spend at least several "big events" to understand what he was talking about.

After asking, Gwen sighed again: "I understand what you mean, but what can we do?"

When Raymond's eyes finally caught the girl's eyes, he could even see some background called sadness in Gwen's eyes. She almost instantly judged that this problem was almost unsolvable - but as a romantic realist, Miss Spider is always the spokesperson for action.

So, this is not a rhetorical question, but Spider-Woman's ruthless judgment on her own fate - from the moment she chose to take this responsibility, she has realized this. Even if these gang leaders cannot be killed, she will go to thwart their plots again and again until the fate of the comic world ends.

This is also her statement - she is ready to pay all the price she can for this marathon that will never end.

"Yes, there is no way." Raymond could only nod helplessly in the end. He understood what Gwen meant - some things cannot be left unfinished just because they are difficult or cannot be changed. If no one does it, things will not get better.

Gwen's statement made Raymond decide to make it clear. He knew that with Gwen's character, she would not give up once she set her eyes on one thing. So he quickened his speech: "There is no better way, but we can at least make the local problems cleared up more thoroughly."

"King Bing must have big figures in Washington supporting him, or in other words, King Bing is basically just the gloves of these big figures... With King Bing's character, he will not be willing to be controlled by these people. So, I cooperate with him just to clean up these people."

"By then, King Bing will just be King Bing, King Bing who can be dealt with by Spider-Woman. He will no longer be protected by the power of the system, and the power of the system will even turn around and add insult to injury because of his rebellion."

After Raymond finished speaking, Gwen did not reply to him - the girl Just standing there, shoulders forward, sinking down, and her head also lowered forward...

Gwen just felt very tired, but no matter what, she still wanted to oppose this plan-

"Raymond--" The girl used this name that she rarely used after the two of them fell into an awkward situation, "Do you know what kind of person Kingpin is?"

"I know."

Gwen finally couldn't hold back her emotions anymore. From the increasingly awkward relationship between the two of them because of their teacher-student relationship, to the day when Felicia Hardy threatened her with Raymond's life safety, to witnessing her sweetheart shaking hands with her mortal enemy, and finally to today when he... was self-righteous!

Gwen Stacy couldn't stand it anymore, not to mention that she was not a person who could control her temper and emotions well.

The girl raised her voice and her tone became stern: "You know? Do you know why you still want to take risks?"

"What else can we do?" The girl's confrontational mood made Raymond, who had been trying to make her understand his thoughts, a little angry. He couldn't help but speed up and raise his voice to show his deterrence. He repeated it again to strengthen his tone: "What else can we do?"

"You are not Ghost Spider-Man. If Kingpin wants to kill you, it will be difficult for you to even protect yourself. Do you know that you are playing with fire?"

Gwen's voice used to be a little lazy. Her words revealed her struggle and helplessness with fate, as well as her mood of finding joy in misery after helplessness.

In addition, unlike most girls, she does not like to use high-pitched voices to express her emotions. On the contrary, she prefers to release herself with the sound of exploding drums and cymbals, but today——

The girl raised her voice repeatedly, and her voice was mixed with a lot of vibrato - which was enough to reflect her trembling emotions at this time:

"Do you know how dangerous it is to mix yourself up with the Kingpin?"

The girl's trembling but extremely firm question made Raymond's heart tremble, but the professor immediately became more determined:

"What else? Is there any way to get rid of those moths? Are you waiting for you to send Kingpin to prison again, and then he escapes the sanction of the law again and gets you into trouble again?"

"How about waiting to see you die in New York City from exhaustion from fighting the Gold, Silver and Bronze Pinions, or to be besieged and killed by the gang leaders?"

"How about waiting for you to meet your own fate and the fate of all Spider-Man?"

In the past, Raymond always acted calmly, but maybe it was because he was opposite Gwen Stacy, or maybe it was because the girl was excited, so Raymond's emotions also became intense - he even spoke indiscriminately. Earth reveals final clues about her own fate to Gwen.

Gwen felt her breathing paused for a moment. She immediately read the potential meaning of "her end will not be good" from Raymond's question, and she felt increasingly sad.

But this does not hinder her will:

"That should also be my fate. I don't need you to interfere, or even involve you."

"Aren't you going to drag me in?" Raymond laughed angrily and aggressively attacked the girl in front of him. "Lock down Jin Bin's backstage and use political means to clear him out. If I don't do it, who else will do it?" ? If I don’t do it, who else can?”

"With your childish beatings and killings, we can't do anything and change nothing. You, Gwen Stacy, are destined to be nothing more than a dose of poison used by the federation to appease blue-collar workers in New York. Your existence will only make more people willing to live in this distorted atmosphere until the end of the world..."

Raymond took a deep breath and continued his questioning to the end: "I ask you, are you willing to do this?"

"What about you?" Gwen didn't retreat even after being questioned repeatedly by the professor. However, the girl who still maintained her defense had a hint of crying in her voice. Her voice became increasingly trembling, as if it was blowing in the wind. Swaying: "What should you do? Have you considered your own safety?"

Gwen Stacy finally confessed her worries, and then she lowered her head.

All her arguments, all her worries, all her concessions and keeping a distance were all just to not affect Raymond. Perhaps it was to preserve his reputation and teaching position, or perhaps it was to prevent him from sinking with the Kingpin. Going into the abyss, perhaps to save his life...

That was all for Raymond Xu.

Gwen Stacy has lost enough and she hates losing anything more. So even if we lose Raymond as a friend, we must keep him away from these dangerous things!

At this time, Gwen only wanted to stop Raymond. She didn't even care about her own just cause. Even if it was selfish, she wanted to let Raymond, who had the intention of using and cooperating with Kingpin, Give up the idea of ​​​​taking chestnuts from the fire.

Although what Raymond wants to do is exactly what Spider-Woman should do under the principle of justice, fighting crime, punishing evil and promoting good, but even the just Spider-Woman has to face the most important personal emotional choice. , it is inevitable to reveal selfish feelings:

"If you are pulled into the abyss by Kingpin, you want me to do the same to you..."

Gwen's tears finally fell, and the teardrops meandered on the girl's delicate and smooth skin, and finally dropped to the ground. Her voice dropped:

"Is it necessary to eliminate evil?"

All the moments before and after Peter Parker became a lizard emerged in front of Gwen Stacy. She had watched evil swallow up her childhood sweetheart, how could she tolerate the same thing again...

Gwen could not determine the identity of the person in front of her. She just raised her eyes and looked at Raymond in front of her with sadness and pleading.
