Chapter 2679 Hollywood Rhapsody (XI)
Chapter 2653 Hollywood Rhapsody (XI)
Schiller and Peter walked over at about the same time. Peter was a little ahead, but there was Stark in front of Peter, while there was nothing in front of Schiller. His vision was quite wide, allowing him to see the current state of the Sandman very clearly.
The reason why Schiller was interested in the Sandman was that he felt that the structure of the Sandman was a bit like the gray fog. Although the gray fog factor was much more advanced than sand, it could not be denied that the two were very similar in form.
It was also because sand was much more intuitive than the gray fog factor that Schiller could see the life structure of this type of creature more clearly. Schiller found that this group of sand moved in a very beautiful rhythm, with some of it revolving and some of it autobiographical, and even the form of primitive organs could be seen from it.
Schiller found that the movement pattern of the sand seemed to indicate the function of this part, and some of the sand moved more violently than others, which looked like organs such as human lungs or hearts.
Schiller was very interested in this, so he took two steps forward involuntarily, wanting to see it clearly. As a result, the sandstorm that was originally well controlled by Iron Man and Captain America suddenly broke out.
Whoosh! !
A ball of sand suddenly rushed towards them, or to be more precise, towards Peter, but Peter was blocked by Stark, the iron man, so he was safe and sound. However, there was nothing in front of Schiller, and his glasses were blown away in an instant by such a strong wind with sand and dust.
Fortunately, Iron Man immediately controlled the sandman. Schiller rubbed his eyes that were almost blinded by the sand. He could have turned into gray fog at that moment, but after all, there was a camera filming, so he could only let his glasses go away from him like an ordinary person.
Schiller was actually not nearsighted at all. He wore glasses just to cover his eyes. As an autistic patient, Schiller did not like to look at people when he was young. Wearing glasses would make it impossible for anyone to see that he was avoiding eyes.
Of course, he can now look people in the eye, but wearing glasses has become a habit, and it is a bit uncomfortable to not wear them for a while.
However, Peter's shouting attracted Schiller's attention. He said: "The weakness of the sandman is water. As long as he encounters water, his movements will become very slow, or even completely unable to move, and he can only return to human form."
"Really?" Stark was a little unconvinced. The answer was so simple?
Then he turned his head left and right, as if he wanted to find something to try, and the eyes of the three people stayed on Schiller's hand.
Schiller still held the glass of juice, and because it was a straw cup with a lid, the cup was not dirty, and the juice was drinkable.
Schiller looked down at the juice in his hand, then looked at them and said: "What do you want to do? If you want to drink, go buy it yourself..."
Finally, Schiller sighed helplessly and handed the juice in his hand to Peter. Peter opened the cup and splashed it at the sandman, and a large piece of sand that was splashed condensed.
Schiller saw that Peter aimed at the part of the sand that was moving violently. After this part of the sand condensed, the movement of all the other sands slowed down, and finally slowly condensed into a human figure.
"Baker? Baker!!!"
Someone shouted the name of the sandman, but it was not Peter. Several people looked in the direction of the voice and found a black figure peeking around the corner.
"Miles?" Peter called out the boy's name in surprise, and Iron Man had already flown over and pulled him out.
Miles, who was being held by the collar, looked very frustrated, but he kept trying to struggle. Steve slapped Stark's hand away, looked at Miles and said, "What's wrong with you, boy? Do you know this guy?"
Miles didn't say anything, but looked up at Peter. Peter walked up and said, "What's wrong? Why are you and Baker here?"
"I was chasing him." Miles still looked unlucky. He said, "You asked me to watch Robbins, but I really didn't. He is an invisible man. How can I catch him?"
"What about Baker?"
"I also found him by accident..."
Miles pursed his lips. Schiller saw that his lips were a little chapped and looked like he hadn't drunk water for a long time, so he returned to the car and got him a bottle of water. Miles said cautiously, "Thank you."
Then he drank a whole bottle of water very boldly, and said with a long sigh, "Oh my God, I thought I was going to die, but fortunately nothing happened."
"What's going on?" Stark was a little impatient. If Steve hadn't stopped him, he would definitely teach this kid a lesson.
"Robins trapped him." Miles said, "I don't know how it works, but he built a big swimming pool, and then this ball of sand was soaked underneath, unable to move."
"You asked me to watch Robbins, but I couldn't get into the house, so I had to wander around. But Robbins hasn't come back for a long time. I was worried that I had lost him, so I wanted to go in and take a look."
"It was an abandoned villa. After I went in, I saw the big swimming pool. I felt a little strange at the time, because I have worked as a swimming pool cleaner for others. In this kind of villa where no one lives, there is usually no water in the swimming pool, and if there is water, it will be very dirty..."
"Get to the point!" Stark said.
"That's the point." Miles raised his voice, but soon shrank his neck and said, "I thought the pool was not normal, so I looked down, and I saw a face on the sand at the bottom of the pool."
"I was almost scared to death, and my feet slipped and fell into the pool. I can swim, and the pool is not deep. I could have swam up, but I felt something grabbing my ankles, and I choked on water several times."
"Just when I was about to drown, I felt something holding me up, and I climbed to the edge of the pool. When I got close to the water, I heard someone shouting for help."
"I felt something was wrong, and the sand seemed to have life, so I found the drain valve of the pool and drained all the water, and then I saw that the sand really moved, and he talked to me."
"He said he was kidnapped here and had been trapped under the pool, and asked if I could I can get him somewhere else to dry him. "
"I thought he might have saved me in the swimming pool, so I vacuumed him up and spread him on the lawn to dry, but after he dried, he screamed madly that he wanted to kill Spider-Man..."
"Wait." Peter interrupted him and said, "What does it have to do with Spider-Man?"
"He said that Spider-Man kidnapped him here."
Peter opened his mouth and said, "Then what?"
"He said he knew Spider-Man's secret, he wanted to find him and kill him, I really didn't know how to stop him, I could only follow him."
"How did you find here?"
"I don't know either." Miles said, "He was just looking for him in New York at first, but one day he suddenly went crazy and dragged me here. I feel like I haven't had water for almost three days and I almost died of thirst."
Several people present felt something was wrong.
First of all, Spider-Man couldn't kidnap Sandman. Even if Peter and Beck had some conflicts at work, Spider-Man couldn't do such a thing, and kidnapping him wouldn't bring any benefits.
Considering what they found before, it should be Robbins who kidnapped Baker, so it is possible that Robbins disguised himself as Spider-Man and made Baker think that Spider-Man kidnapped him.
But there is another problem. Spider-Man's identity is not public, which means that basically no one knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, but now that Baker has chased him here, it proves that he knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
He would yell to kill Spider-Man in an extreme way. In addition to his own unstable emotions, it is also possible that he learned that Peter had embarrassed him at work first and then kidnapped him, which completely angered Baker and made him choose to take extreme measures.
The only question is, how did Robbins know that Spider-Man is Peter Parker?
The people present all thought of this question at the first time. There are actually quite a few people who know the true identity of Spider-Man. The group of Spider-Man in other universes alone can be called a sea of people.
But people who know Spider-Man's identity cannot reveal his identity. No matter if it is a member of the Avengers, the Spider-Mans of the multiverse, or an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., they will never reveal Spider-Man's true identity to others, let alone to a small character like Robin. So where did this news come from?
Schiller quickly eliminated the wrong answers in his mind, and suddenly he had some ideas, but he knew that there was no need to say it in front of the camera. Today's segment about Spider-Man would also be cut off. They could discuss it privately.
But unexpectedly, Baker woke up at this time and stared at Peter Parker among the few people.
"Spider-Man!! You damn hypocrite!! I will kill you!!!"
Baker's emotions broke out violently again. Steve looked at the expression on Schiller's face, as if asking whether to knock him out first.
Although Schiller didn't want to work at all during his vacation, considering Peter, he decided to appease Baker first and figure out what was going on.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Peter say, "I don't know what you're crazy about, but I'm not Spider-Man. I think you've got the wrong person."
Hearing this, Stark and Steve looked at Peter in surprise. In their impression, Peter didn't lie. Although he was led by Schiller to not tell the truth sometimes, he always adhered to the principle of trying not to lie if he could.
Especially on the issue of identity, although there were cameras filming now, they also knew that such important things would definitely be cut out, and Peter didn't need to deny it.
Schiller suddenly understood a little. Peter had talked to him about the balance between superhero career and family before. I'm afraid Peter has made a choice now, so he said this sentence with a clear conscience. He doesn't want to be Spider-Man anymore.
Baker obviously didn't completely understand Peter's character. After all, they had been colleagues for a period of time, and they were considered to be close friends. He knew that this proud child of heaven had his own pride. He disdained and was not good at lying, and it was even more impossible for him to lie with such a serious and determined attitude.
This time, Baker couldn't do it.
This is the advantage of being an honest person, Schiller thought. If you have been telling the truth all your life, then no matter how outrageous this one lie is, most people will still choose to believe it.
"You've got the wrong person." Peter still said in a very confident tone: "I think you may have been deceived. After all, I said before that you are not very smart. Do you know that if you make such a fuss now, you may lose your job?"
After Baker's arrogance was suppressed, he slowly woke up and broke out in a cold sweat. He always felt that he was a little abnormal recently.
"Doctor, I think he may have been hypnotized." Peter looked at Schiller and said, "Can you please treat him?"
Looking at the camera not far away, Schiller still couldn't say "I'm on vacation" or something like that, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll try my best."
