Chapter 1302 Interstellar Stage (IX)
"Then I..."
Riley said hesitantly: "I'm actually... sorry, but I'm really not Peter Parker. Although I have his memories and abilities, I'm really just a clone. I really..."
Gwen Spider-Man saw Riley's panic, she blinked and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about this at all. There are about 80 Peter Parkers in New York now, and you are not one more. You can be whoever you want."
"How many????"
"Wait a minute, let me see." Gwen Spider-Man opened her Spider APP again and started looking around, then said: "Uh, the number of people online now is 7 2, but some people are offline because they don't want to be disturbed. Wait a minute, I'll ask in the group. "
After that, Spider Gwen started typing on her phone. After a while, she heard the phone beeping. Gwen slid the screen down and said, "Look, more than 30 Spider-Men replied to me in just over 20 seconds. They are all Peter Parker."
Spider Gwen looked at Riley and said, "Peter Parker is not fashionable here, because everyone is Peter Parker, so Spider-Men who are not Peter Parker are very popular, such as me. Of course, female Spider-Men are not popular. Because it is rare, it is precious. "
Gwen Spider-Man changed her posture and looked at Ben Reilly and said: "The difference with Peter Parker is not a disadvantage but an advantage. You see, because there are too many Peter Parkers, most of them are similar, so they all enter ordinary laboratories. "竢
"But I am different, because I am a woman, so I can participate in the research of in vitro reproduction and artificial uterus. This research group only accepts women, because so far only women have fertility, and female researchers can avoid privacy and ethical issues in certain clinical experiments. "
"Of course, there are also research groups studying male fertility and Multiple gender conversion, more importantly, eugenics and gene selection. If you are interested, you can contact Miles Warren, he is an expert in this field. "
"Your arrival is likely to make another subject more important, that is, cloning. Because there are too many subjects and many similar projects have not been taken seriously, if you can produce some research results, your service period will be greatly shortened, and you will directly enter the stage of free research. Believe me, this is good for you."
"You mean, let me study myself?" Riley's facial features have wrinkled, Gwen's words really overturned his cognition.
He has always felt that he is a wrong product. In fact, every victim of the Jackal cloning experiment thinks so. They should not exist in this world. Riley even feels that his existence is stealing Peter Parker's life.
Those heroic deeds were not accomplished by him at all, but by Peter Parker, but he just enjoyed the fruits of others' labor for nothing, and even because of his appearance and ability, others mistakenly thought that he was Peter, and gained others' love and respect for Peter. This is completely a stealing behavior.
Although he cannot decide how he was born, he has always tried to avoid being similar to Peter. Spider-Man's sense of morality prevents him from being a thief. 竢
But now, Spider-Man Gwen actually told him that this is not a disadvantage at all, but an advantage, because he can use his special situation to study cloning, shorten his working hours, and go out to work alone as soon as possible.
Gwen still felt it was not enough. She propped up her chin with her hand and said seriously: "The Scarlet Spider of the Spider Corps before, he should be called Kane, right? He also came here and wanted to enter the laboratory, but his clone was not stable, his mental disorder was a bit serious, and sometimes he couldn't even control himself, so he had to receive more than half a year of mental treatment and a two-month observation period before he could start working."
"It sounds a bit ridiculous, but in fact, no one loves Spider-Man more than Nick Fury in this universe. The director regards us as his little lambs. In order to squeeze the most value from us, he must not let us get sick or injured."
"Even when we return to our own universe and fight those villains, he will deliberately let the agents of SHIELD be our sparring partners, and send a lot of them before leaving. Equipment, even with only a few points, you can rent a lot of powerful equipment, the purpose is to ensure that we can come back alive to work for him. "
"I heard that Spider-Man in a universe is fighting with that purple-skinned man called Thanos. That damn purple head snapped his fingers and Spider-Man almost died."
"But the life monitoring device Nick hung on him sounded the alarm, and the emergency distress signal was transmitted to the Sanctuary. A hell lord named Mephisto...or something came on the spot and rescued Spider-Man. Now the unlucky guy is still recovering in the sanatorium. "
Riley didn't know what expression he should make. Although it sounded like his life safety was guaranteed, when he thought that the people who saved them were actually doing it to make them work better, it sounded inevitable that they were more evil than those villains.竢
Gwen was about to open her mouth to introduce, but at this time, her cell phone suddenly rang. She stretched out a hand to signal Riley to keep quiet, picked up the phone and said to the other end: "Hello? Peter, what's wrong? ... Oh, really? ... Yes, I'm telling him the basic situation of this universe... No, it has been clarified, it has nothing to do with him, if you are worried, just come over by yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Gwen said: "Well, Peter Parker in this universe is a little worried. He is worried that you may be involved in something you shouldn't be involved in because of some people's misleading. You know, every Peter looks the same. If you do something inappropriate, all Peters will be unlucky."
"I was just about to ask." Riley looked into Gwen's eyes seriously and said: "I heard that the Spider-Man in this universe is dead and died in a big explosion, and the current Spider-Man is the third generation Spider-Man. What's going on?"
Gwen showed a very embarrassed expression. The baby-faced female Spider-Man touched her chin with one finger, opened her mouth, but closed it again. The expression on her face was so wonderful that Riley couldn't understand it at all.
"It's really hard for me to explain to you." Gwen looked embarrassed and said, "If there is anything bad about this universe, it's... well, it's a bit crazy here. Every superhero here has died, and some have died more than once."
"Forget it, let Peter come and explain it to you in person. He just wants to see you."
After that, Gwen made way, but Riley looked at her movements and was a little confused. He said, "Is he working nearby?"
"Of course not, he's on the other side of New York, but he should be here soon."
As soon as Gwen finished speaking, a portal opened in the air with a "sizzle". Peter, with short hair, black-framed glasses, and a lab uniform, walked out of it. He took off his gloves, walked up to Riley and shook hands and said, "Hello, I'm Peter Parker 6302. You should have got your number, right?"
Riley After a moment of shock, Gwen stepped forward and explained: "No, he is not Peter Parker, so he does not have your special number. His name is Ben Riley, and he is a clone of Peter Parker."
Riley opened his mouth wide and said, "What is the number?"
"Because there are too many Peter Parkers, we all look the same. In order to distinguish them easily, each of us has a number. In fact, Peter Parker is not important, the number is the real body."
Then Peter said in surprise: "Oh, you are a clone, then I think you and Kane should have something in common, and I have something in common."
Riley's jaw was a little stiff with shock, and he asked puzzledly: "What do you mean you have something in common with you?"
In Riley's even more shocked eyes, the skin of the Peter Parker in front of him began to turn blue gradually, and he turned directly into an alien appearance, but soon changed back.
"I'm a Skrull, of course, I'm also Peter Parker, and I'm also the second Spider-Man in the media reports, and I'm now taking over Peter's job on Earth."
Riley was completely frozen in place, Gwen pushed him, asked him to sit back on the sofa, and sat next to him and said, "Don't make a fuss."
"But how can you, you, I mean... you don't think, huh?" Riley stammered, pointing at himself for a while, and then pointing at Peter opposite.
Peter seemed to understand what he meant. He smiled bitterly and said, "You are not worried about your identity as an imposter, are you? How about this, I will arrange for you to work as Director Nick's assistant at SHIELD for a few days."
"By then, you will know that no matter who you are, as long as you can look like Peter Parker and have his genius brain, then Nick will not care who you are. He will only yell at you, 'I don't care if you are Spider-Man or an alien, now go and get the genius ideas in your head for me, and then contribute to the cause of mankind until you die!!!'"
Peter shrugged and said, "Originally, I had already gone to the empty new area of the Dark Quadrant with my people to rebuild the old Skrull Empire. As a result, Nick called me through my people who stayed on Earth and said that Stark and Strange were going crazy for Spider-Man. They had three fights in a week. I should go back to be Spider-Man immediately, so that each of us can have one."竢
"So, you are in charge of the magic side now?" Gwen asked, tucking her hair behind her ears.
"On the contrary, I'm in charge of the technology side." Peter spread his hands and said, "The Skrulls can only imitate the abilities that the other party originally has. They can't imitate the abilities of the symbiote, which is similar to external armor."
"And the magic ability that the real Peter in this universe has is actually the ability of his symbiote. I don't have a symbiote, so I can't use magic, so Peter is in charge of the magic side, and I stay in Stark Tower to do experiments."
Peter nodded to Riley and said, "You must be confused, why can they trust me, but in fact, this was originally a disadvantage of the Skrulls' ability to imitate others, but now they think it is an advantage."
"Because we have inherited all the abilities and memories, we often forget who we are. Most of the time, I think I am Peter Parker. If it weren't for the psychiatrist who helped me maintain the memory of the life experiences of the Skrulls, I would have really thought I was Spider-Man."
"As for the guilt you may feel for stealing someone else's life, I can only say that if the world only needs one Spider-Man, you may indeed be redundant, but this universe is very short of Spider-Man, very short of Spider-Man, we may need more than 20,000 Spider-Mans, if you want to be Spider-Man, it is our honor."
Riley has been completely stagnant in the spot, the information he has received in the past two hours is like some crazy factor infecting his brain.竢
At this time, Gwen Spider-Man lowered her head and gently stroked her long hair and said, "I envy this universe and love it here. It's like a beautiful dream I had when I was hiding in my bed at home on a warm night."
"But no matter how poor and chaotic my world is, it is still my hometown. I will use the knowledge I learned here and the abilities I gained to build it and make it as beautiful as here."
"I don't care who I am, or whether there is another me in this world who lives better than me. I only know that the meaning and source of my life should only be that I use my abilities to change the world and make it better."
"When the time comes, the happiness felt by everyone whose life has improved is my happiness, their happiness and satisfaction are my happiness and satisfaction, their laughter is my laughter, and the hope they see is my hope."
Gwen's eyes flashed with unparalleled brilliance, a light like the surface of green grass washed by spring rain, with the gentleness and quiet power unique to women.
This made Riley understand that the reason why Spider-Man is Spider-Man is not because of his appearance and ability, but because each of them is a kind of light.
"This is the highest value pursued by every Spider-Man who comes and stays here. We will no longer be us, but a possibility for our universe, our civilization, and our race to go to the sea of stars and obtain ultimate happiness." 竢
Peter looked into the eyes of the visitor and said, "So, don't be afraid that you are not you. You go to be Spider-Man, and you are Spider-Man. I am not Spider-Man, but I am also a grain of sand in the same great ideal."
"It doesn't matter if I am me, and success doesn't have to be mine."
