Chapter 889: Bright Stars (Thirty-Four)

The night wind in New York is not always gentle. When the weather gets cold, the cold wind whistling on the street is like dense and fine needles. No matter how thick the coat and scarf are, they can't resist this chill.

Pedestrians on the road hurriedly put their hands in their pockets, tightened their hats and wrapped their scarves tightly, imagining the warm fireplace and steaming meals in their minds, and quickened their pace on the way home.

If they look up, the glass curtain wall of the building is dyed warm by the light of the street lamps. The street lamps are like jumping flames, burning up along the mirror until the flames touch the sky. A dark shadow stands on the edge of the roof of the building, overlooking the entire New York City.

His sadness burned like a flame. Just a few hours ago, a deafening gunshot completely tore the calm appearance.

Spider-Man held a newspaper tightly in his hand, and as his fingers loosened slightly, several Global Times fell down, with the front page headline publishing the death of Nick Fury.

It was supposed to be a peaceful afternoon. Peter and Gwen had just finished their date. They hugged each other for the first time on the busy street.

Gwen's cheeks became redder than the red Christmas stockings that had just been hung on the store. Peter smiled at her, his eyes brighter than the lights on the Christmas tree.

"Gwen, you must come to my house for dinner during Christmas. My uncle and aunt want to see you very much. They are all very gentle and kind people. You don't have to worry..."

"I know, of course I know..." Gwen hooked Peter's hand with her fingers and said with her head down: "They must be much gentler than my father. You still have to think about how to deal with my father when the time comes."

When this topic was brought up, Peter put on a bitter face and said, "Mr. Sheriff is a hero. He was very brave in the battle when the bats invaded New York, but I'm afraid that he will use this bravery on me and he will drive me out of your house."

Gwen burst out laughing and said, "No, you think too seriously He has basically accepted that I have a boyfriend now."

But then, she frowned and said, "But I'm not sure if he can accept that my boyfriend is Spider-Man. You know, he often complains that you are hanging around in New York to attract attention. He thinks you are a frivolous boy..."

Gwen pulled Peter's arm and said, "Why don't you appear less in the newspapers recently? If you really make my dad angry, he might point a gun at you."

"Then I swear, I will never fight back!" Peter made a swearing gesture, and Gwen hurriedly pulled his hand down. Peter laughed and hugged Gwen's shoulders. Gwen pushed him away with some complaints.

The two laughed and joked for a while, but they had to say goodbye in the end. Gwen sighed and said, "Betty, who was very kind to me in the lab where I was interning, has to go back to rest because she has anxiety disorder. Dr. Dora, who has taught me a lot of knowledge, has also been transferred to another group. I don't know any of the new researchers now, and it will take some time for me to hand over to them."

"It's okay." Peter immediately comforted him and said, "Now, mankind has finally united, and various research projects are progressing very quickly, many times faster than before. Now is a good time, you don't have to worry too much."

Peter said excitedly, "I can't believe that all human beings have united and are heading towards the universe together. Maybe soon we can fly out of the Milky Way and explore the mysteries between the stars?"

But Gwen was not so excited. She frowned slightly, took Peter's hand and said, "Peter, you are always optimistic, but... Anyway, it's hard for me to say. I heard that there was a data theft in our laboratory..."

Gwen sighed and clenched her hands , and then said: "I always have a hunch that this may be the calm before the storm."

"Don't be like this, Gwen, remember what I said? Instead of spending time worrying about the future, it is better to do more experiments." Peter looked into Gwen's eyes and said: "Now all technologies have reached maturity. As long as they continue to develop like this, soon, the dream of human beings to travel the stars will come true..."

Gwen tilted her head, glanced at him, then retracted her gaze, lowered her head and said: "What are you going to do then?"

"What to do! Of course, continue to experiment and finish college... Wait, you mean... uh, I... I mean..."

Peter immediately stuttered, he clenched his fingers hard, but at this time, Gwen had already shaken off his hand, turned around and walked forward, looked back at him and said, "Go do your experiment, we'll see you tomorrow."

Peter stared blankly at Gwen's leaving figure, he stepped on the spot twice, wanted to hit the wall with his arm, but when his hand touched the wall, he deliberately restrained his strength and just gently touched the wall.

Then, he walked quickly on the street with his schoolbag in hand, but he had almost forgotten his destination, with excitement filling his mind.

Peter doesn't think he is a very romantic person. He is a very typical science student, but at this moment, the high emotions make him feel that he has consumed all the inspiration of the second half of his life and come up with a wonderful idea.

If humans can really visit the universe and feel the brilliance of the stars, what else is more worthy of being the most memorable day in their lives than this romantic day?

This state injected a dose of stimulant into Peter's brain, and many scientific research inspirations burst out. One after another good ideas piled up in his mind, making him eager to return to the laboratory and put them into practice.

But there is still a distance from here to the laboratory. It is too slow to walk there. Peter found a remote alley and changed into the Spider-Man suit in his schoolbag.

Wearing the spider silk launcher, Spider-Man appeared above New York again. The joyful mood accompanied by cheers made him swing higher and almost merge into the sun's rays.

But before he walked far, he found a car lying next to a telephone pole on the roadside. It was obvious that there was a car accident. The cars behind were waiting for him, and some drivers honked their horns impatiently.

Spider-Man let go of the spider silk, rolled on the ground to relieve the force, and then came to the side of the accident car.

Unexpectedly, after the car window was rolled down, a familiar face appeared. Eddie Brock stuck his head out and said, "Hey! Spider-Man, you came just in time. Help me straighten the car. I'm in a hurry to the airport."

"Eddie, why are you here? Is Venom okay?"

"He's fine. If it weren't for him, I would have been on the plane now." As soon as Eddie finished complaining, Venom's face appeared. He grinned and said, "Shut up, coward, I just stepped on the accelerator for you, it was you who didn't hold the steering wheel well...

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Mr. Eddie, I'll help you straighten the car. "After that, Spider-Man came to the front of the car and pushed hard, and the car returned to the road.

He patted the hood and said, "Okay, there shouldn't be any big problems. By the way, what are you doing in a hurry to the airport? Is there any big news?"

Eddie's face suddenly changed. He was about to speak, and Venom's face appeared again. He said, "Shut up, drive quickly, don't waste time on this stupid boy..."

After that, he stepped on the accelerator again, and the car disappeared from Spider-Man's sight. He scratched his head in some confusion, but still came to the laboratory of Stark Building as he thought before.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, Peter changed his clothes, took two pieces of paper and started writing and drawing on the back. After writing for a while, he moved a little further away and took a look. He seemed to be very satisfied with his idea just now.

He took a few pieces of paper, took the elevator, and then said to Jarvis, "Go to the floor where Mr. Stark is. Regarding the problem we discussed yesterday, I have a new idea. He must think it's great. "

"Sorry, Mr. Parker, Mr. Stark is not in Stark Tower now. Do you want me to contact him for you?"

"Not in Stark Tower? Then where is he? Avengers base? Or the United Nations conference room?" Peter asked.

"I have connected you to Mr. Stark's communication, beep... Hello? Peter? Are you in the laboratory?"

Peter heard that Stark's voice was a little abnormal, but he didn't know why. Before he could continue speaking, Stark said: "Let Jarvis start the plane to send you over... Forget it, Peter, you stay in New York, go back to the Avengers base, and take care of the equipment there."

After that, Stark hung up the phone. Peter was very confused, because in the past, Stark would not hang up the phone like this.

"Jarvis, what's going on?" Peter asked, but Jarvis said: "The battle suit upgrade that Mr. Stark prepared for you is in Laboratory No. 2. Do you want me to send it to you?"

"Jarvis, is Mr. Stark hiding something from me? "Peter asked with a frown, and he pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't tell me, I'll ask someone else."

After that, he walked out of the elevator with his mobile phone, and then started dialing. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello? Dr. Schiller, what happened?"

"Really? ... What did you say? You are not in New York now? Where did you go? What's going on?"

Peter stopped in the corridor, he hung up the phone, stood there and took a breath, after a while, he heard mechanical footsteps behind him, turned around, and found that Jarvis controlled his mechanical body and stood behind him.

The tall robot bent down slightly, lowered his head and stretched out his hand. Peter looked at the spider suit in his hand, he turned his head aside angrily and said, "I don't want it, I can do it myself. "

Jarvis was not angry, but took back his suit. Peter took out his cell phone and dialed the number, saying, "I want to call the captain. He will definitely not lie to me. He will not hide it from me..."

He picked up the phone again and said to the other end, "Hey, Captain, what happened? Why are they hiding it from me? Are you not in New York either? ... Captain! Captain! What's wrong with you? Why are you..."

"Oh my God, come on, Captain, no matter what happens, I will stand with you...Okay, I will defend New York, but shouldn't you tell me what is going on?"

"Buy a newspaper? Peter said in surprise: "What does it have to do with newspapers? ...Okay, Captain, you go ahead, I'll go buy a newspaper right away. "

Peter rushed out of the corridor quickly, jumped out of the window, and swung to the top of the building opposite with spider silk.

He looked down at the ground and found the nearest newsstand, and then he found that the latest batch of newspapers were being placed on the front shelf by the boss.

Peter frowned. It was not morning yet, so how could there be new newspapers?

Moreover, the car that just left had the logo of the Global Times printed on it. This was not a tabloid. Even the former famous reporter Eddie Brock could only be an ordinary editor-in-chief. Such a big company would not change the delivery time at will.

So, Peter bought a newly delivered newspaper, picked it up from the shelf, and after unfolding it, he saw that on the front page headline was the news of the death of Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD, which he had seen yesterday.
