Chapter 663: The Spider's Web (Part 2)

"Look at what you've done! It was you who told Peter about weaving webs, and now he's weaving webs all over New York, three webs a day, and even the cleaning company can't keep up with his speed!"

"I'm letting him understand the importance of social engineering, not letting him weave webs at the physical level!"

In front of the French window of the Stark Building laboratory, Stark and Schiller were arguing non-stop, and Stark waved his arms and said loudly: "You know he's a stupid boy! And you still told him such profound things, don't you know that he will understand it in a thousand different ways?!"

"Do you think, with Peter's wisdom, he might understand what I said as weaving webs all over New York? It's better to say, why don't you and Connors find something for Peter to do, what about your research projects?" Schiller retorted.

Connors, who was implicated innocently, held up a document and said, "In fact, he did not delay his research. He only spent half the usual time to complete everything, and then left free time for himself to weave webs. I have to say that as a spider, he is still very hardworking."

"But he is a human!" Stark raised his voice and said, "Spider-Man is not a spider, he is a human! Even if he is a spider, he can't weave three spider webs over New York every day! Has he considered the feelings of people with arachnophobia?"

Schiller raised his head and looked at the spider web not far away, saying, "Don't say , this web is woven quite beautifully. If my sanatorium is not short of space, I would like to bring one back for decoration..."

Just after he finished speaking, his cell phone woke up. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello? Ultron? ... Oh, yes, I'm in Stark Tower, what's wrong?"

"What? ? ? There is a spider web over the sanatorium. The guests complained that our sanitary conditions were not up to standard and wanted to refund the money? ! ! You wait! I'll be back soon! ! "

Schiller hung up the phone, dissipated into a cloud of gray mist, and flew directly back to Arkham Sanatorium. Stark followed behind in his battle suit. When he arrived at the place, he laughed out loud.

The suburbs of New York are not like the city center. There are not so many high-rise buildings here. There is a problem with using shorter houses as fulcrums to build spider webs. That is, the collapsed part in the middle may stick everywhere.

Looking at the messy sanatorium, Schiller took a deep breath, but it was not over yet. Soon. He received another call. Nick said to Schiller on the phone: "Can you take care of that Spider-Boy? The maintenance cost of the aerospace carrier is already very expensive. He made spider webs everywhere here. Is he afraid that the cleaning staff will not ask for a raise?"

"This is the only good thing he did!" Schiller said angrily. After he hung up the phone, he was about to return to downtown New York to find Peter, but Captain America jumped down from the roof and came to Schiller. He said: "What's going on, what's wrong with Peter? I saw a news report saying that he was weaving webs everywhere in New York, seriously affecting the appearance of the city. The police station is "He's out..."

Stark touched his chin and said, "Peter's abnormality is more than that. Since he was about to graduate from high school, he has become extremely excited. Jarvis originally left several doors for him on the glass curtain wall of Stark Building, but he always broke the glass..."

"Today, he ran back and forth in my laboratory for five or six hours, with no intention of stopping at all."

Steve added, "I just saw on the news that just an hour ago, he defeated a group of bank robbers, helped a homeless man move, and helped a snack vendor repair his car. , and even dragged a car that was occupying the fire passage two blocks away..."

Stark covered his forehead and said, "He is not driven by a reactor, so he really won't get tired?"

"The behavior suddenly became excited, there are several possibilities..." Schiller stood there, hugged his arms, and speculated, "The first is because of mental excitement. Overactive brain activity may cause humans to show various excited behaviors. However, in the absence of mental illness, this mental excitement is still subject to the limitations of physiological activities. After the excited state passes, you will feel extra tired. "

"Generally People's state of mental excitement will not exceed 6 to 10 hours. If it lasts longer, it may harm the body. After that, the self-protection function of the brain will make them feel very tired and rest immediately. "

"Peter's mental and physical strength are higher than that of ordinary humans. So, based on 4 times the highest value, he should get rid of this state of excitement in about two days, and he will not be excited again in a short time. "

"Come on." Stark raised his arm and said: "It has been almost two months since his high school graduation ceremony, and he is still like this."

"There is another possibility. If you take drugs to stimulate the body, you can also achieve the same effect. If the dosage of the drug is large enough, you can extend this time." Schiller said.

"But it is impossible to extend it for almost two months, right? Besides, why did Peter take stimulants? Just to perform stunts over New York and make a lot of spider webs?" Steve said very puzzled.

Suddenly, Stark recalled the conversation with Connors in the laboratory. He said, "Peter was bitten by a spider. We haven't figured out what kind of impact the bite had on him."

"On the surface, his strength has become greater, his mind has become more active, and he has spider sense. So, will there be some other effects?"

"For example?" Schiller asked.

"Jarvis, help me retrieve the spider's habit data, let me see... Wait, it's August now, right? Oh my God, look at this!"

Stark pressed the button on his arm, and a projection was projected into the air. Schiller and Steve stood beside him and looked at the projection. It said:

"Many spiders will reproduce in the hottest time of midsummer. In about August and September, male spiders will build webs in advance and have courtship movements, while female spiders will..."

The three looked at each other, Schiller and Steve looked at Stark, and Schiller said, "Don't tell me that Peter also has a courtship period like spiders?"

" But it really looks like it, doesn't it? "The more Stark talked, the more he felt that his inference was correct. He said, "He would perform stunts over New York, which may be a kind of courtship dance. Moreover, he began to weave webs over New York, which may also be a way for male spiders to show their courtship advantages..."

Steve covered his forehead and said, "This is too ridiculous. He was just bitten by a spider. How could it be..."

Stark snorted coldly and said, "Peter always stands on your side, but you have never cared about him. Haven't you observed some of his postures when fighting? It really looks like a spider. "

Speaking. Stark pressed the button again and switched the projection. The projection in the air began to play some pictures of Peter's fighting. Some were scenes of him upholding justice in New York captured by monitoring equipment, and some were scenes of Peter and Stark's mecha sparring.

Now Peter has completely gotten rid of the previous immature way of fighting. He no longer runs and jumps and punches the enemy. It can be seen that whether it is dodging or attacking, it is very methodical.

The only problem is that the fighting technique he uses does not belong to any known fighting technique in the world. It is more like a self-created fighting technique. He often crawls on all fours with his body close to the ground, then jumps high. Sometimes he quietly climbs on the enemy's head, jumps down in an instant, and strangles their neck.

Compared with human fighting techniques, this looks more like a beast, or more like a spider.

"For the past two years, I have been recording his growth trajectory." Stark pressed the button on his arm again, and some images of Peter began to play on the screen. Stark continued, "At first, Peter's strength and speed were not so exaggerated. At most, they were about the same as yours."

Stark turned his head to look at Steve. Steve shrugged and did not deny it. Then, Stark said, "But as he got closer to adulthood, his speed, strength and reaction ability began to become more and more exaggerated."

"I used the mecha to test him, but I didn't test the upper limit of his strength because the material of the mecha could no longer withstand it. In other words, at this stage, human materials science cannot produce a material that can withstand his physical strength, which is actually very scary."

"And the reaction speed, originally this part should be the easiest to test the limit, but later I found that as long as his condition is good enough and his attention is focused enough, his reaction can no longer be called a reaction, but more like a foreknowledge."

"How long in advance can he sense danger? It is impossible to test it at all, because every test is breaking records. There is no doubt that although Peter's mind is growing, it is far less fast than his physical strength." Stark concluded.

"He's a good kid." Steve said with some emotion: "I've lived for so many years, and among so many people I've met, he can definitely be called the best kind of good person. I believe he can make good use of this power..."

"The question now is, where does this abnormality come from?" Schiller frowned and thought, he said: "I think we should not stimulate him first. When people are in an excited state, it is easy to develop aggression. If Spider-Man really loses control, it will be troublesome..."

"But if we don't let him cooperate with the physical examination, how can we figure out why he suddenly became so excited?" Stark asked.

"I think we can consult someone with experience in this area, such as..." As he said, Schiller took out his mobile phone, and after the call was connected, he said to the other party: "Dr. Connors, we have something to ask you..."

Ten minutes later, Schiller, Stark and Steve appeared in front of Connors. Connors was still busy with his thesis. He said without raising his head: First of all, I have not been bitten by a lizard. "

"But you are also an animal genetic modifier, don't you know..."

"I won't. "Connors sighed, stood up and said, "The key point of animal genetic modification experiments is to eliminate those parts that are not beneficial to humans and only absorb the advantages."

"For example, I will conduct a lizard transformation experiment because lizards have the ability to regenerate broken limbs, just like what you can see now..." Connors lifted his sleeves, and Stark was surprised to find that his broken arm had grown a very large section, and it looked exactly the same as the original arm.

"Because I don't want the previous accident to happen again, the experiment was conducted conservatively. If it was conducted in the most efficient way, I should have a complete arm now." Connors' tone was very flat, without any fluctuations, but everyone knew what this meant. Once the experiment was fully completed, humans would no longer be troubled by broken limbs.

"If we can't remove those parts that are harmful to humans, then the consequences will be the same as when I was out of control before. You will see a cold-blooded animal covered with scales, without humanity, only animality. That's not what I want, so I will continue to improve it."

"In other words, your mutation has been strictly selected and controlled." Stark understood what Connors meant, and he said: "This further proves my previous idea. Peter was bitten completely randomly, without any experimental control. Then, he may not only inherit the good part of the spider's ability, but also inherit some animality."

"But don't you think that his animality is a bit too mild?" Steve asked: "I remember you said before that when Connors turned into a lizard man, he destroyed half of your building."

"Is it possible that Peter is too good, and the wildest thing in his mind may be to do stunts over New York, plus weaving webs all over New York?" Schiller put forward a point of view.

Stark and Steve looked at each other. They thought this was too absurd, but after thinking carefully, it was not impossible for Peter to do so.

"Well, it seems that Dr. Connors can't give us any advice, so let's invite the next person." Schiller said.

"Next? Who else?" Stark asked a little puzzled.

Ten minutes later, Natasha's angry roar echoed in the SHIELD base:

"I'm not a spider!!!!"
