Chapter 55, Spider-Man's Dilemma
Spider-Man's troubles did not last long, because soon the man pretending to be him showed himself.
The morning after Chen Lin'an fought with Peter, a fishbowl head who called himself a mysterious man sent a video statement to New Yorkers through the Daily Bugle, claiming that he was the real city hero.
In the video, he also solemnly promised the general public that he would catch Spider-Man, the abominable thief, and restore stability to the lives of the people of New York.
After seeing this video, Chen Lin'an also expressed deep sympathy for Peter Parker. People are really afraid of being famous, and people are afraid of being strong. People who don't know where they come from actually want to step on Spider-Man to complete their opening show.
In the next few days, incidents involving Spider-Man stealing and even committing crimes frequently occurred. Under the guidance of public opinion, Spider-Man, who was originally a city hero, suddenly became like a street rat that everyone shouted for beatings.
On the opposite side is Mysterio. This guy has played the positive hero who stops Spider-Man in recent events. Under the publicity of the media, he quickly became the real hero who replaced Spider-Man as a pseudo-hero.
"It's so ironic. This is how terrible public opinion is." Chen Lin'an, dressed as a hidden man, was standing on the top of a building, watching the news on the big screen on the roof of the opposite building, and he was also discussing with Venom.
"Humans are really complex and cunning creatures." Venom also shook his head and said at this time. As a single cell, it really cannot understand the complex human nature of humans.
Just when Chen Lin'an was about to say something more, Venom suddenly retracted into his body and reminded: "Someone is coming." Chen Lin'an also looked in
one direction after hearing this. After two seconds, a figure wearing a red and blue uniform appeared. He jumped up from the roof and squatted not far from him.
"Hey, Venom, I didn't expect you to be here." Peter's tone was a little awkward but he still greeted Chen Lin'an lively.
"What a coincidence." Chen Lin'an also nodded and said in a calm tone.
Looking at Peter, who was still very energetic, Chen Linan was a little surprised. He originally thought that Spider-Man should be very frustrated at this time. After all, the news about him in the past few days has changed suddenly.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin'an also asked him: "I didn't expect you to be very energetic. I thought you should be very frustrated because of these news." "I just saw you
and the mysterious guest on the Brooklyn Bridge. News about the duel, they said that you were defeated by the mysterious guest and fell into the sea without knowing whether you were alive or dead."
Chen Lin'an's question just broke the awkward atmosphere. After hearing this, Peter also thought of something and then smiled: "Your idea is not wrong. I was really frustrated and even a little angry for a few days, so I fell into Mysterio's scheme and was tricked by him into going to the Brooklyn Bridge." "Fortunately, when I felt deeply frustrated and even
decided to give up my identity as Spider-Man, I met some people who still support Spider-Man."
"They told me that Spider-Man will never give up as long as there is a little hope, which also reminded me of my original intention and why I became Spider-Man."
Peter said here He also turned to look at Chen Lin'an and said: "Someone told me that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This is the reason why I have always persisted. What do you think? Mr. Venom." "I feel very sunny and naive. I believe this
. People kidnap themselves based on their own morals, and in today's society, such people will generally be hurt the most." Chen Lin'an said ruthlessly.
"Well, I should have thought of it earlier. Although venom can also fight evil, it is not the same style as mine. Maybe it is because of what suffering he has suffered." Peter was speechless after hearing Chen Lin'an's words. He looked at Chen Lin'an Those cold eyes and the inability to see clearly under the hood, I thought with emotion.
"Although I don't agree with this sentence, I still admire people who can always use it as a criterion." Chen Lin'an looked at Peter's mask and changed the subject: "The person who told you this sentence should be very respectful. People admire him, but his experience should also be very sad."
Chen Lin'an's words were like a sharp sword, breaking through Spider-Man's defense and reaching the heart of Peter Parker hidden under the suit.
Peter was silent for a long time before calming down his somewhat fluctuating emotions. He turned his head and looked at Chen Lin'an's eyes under his hood and said, "I need your help, Mr. Venom." "I promise you, after all, you can find me.
" It's not easy, I don't appear often." Chen Lin'an nodded without any hesitation, and also found a reasonable reason.
Chen Linan was also very sympathetic to Peter's experience, so he didn't mind giving him some help within his own ability. After all, it was really uncomfortable to feel like he was isolated from the whole world.
Hearing that Chen Lin'an quickly agreed, Peter also shook his fist happily, then touched his head and said: "Thank you in advance for your help. Everything that happened today is very lucky. First I met those people who support me." , and then I met you here."
"So you didn't come to me specifically." Chen Lin'an also discovered something after hearing Peter's words.
"Well, I wanted you to help me, but you are really hard to find. I actually came here today to relax and talk to my old friends. I didn't expect that I was really lucky to meet you. "
So that's it." Chen Lin'an said without any hesitation. It turned out to be a coincidence. If he didn't say it earlier, he was a little touched just now. But after talking for a long time, it turned out that he was overthinking and was a little embarrassed.
After complaining a little bit in his mind, Chen Linan also asked strangely: "Your old friend? Where is he?"
Peter heard this and jumped to the edge of the roof with a somersault, then pointed at a bat monster carved out of stone and said: "This He is my old friend. I have come here often in the past few years."
"I call him Bruce. Although I don't know if he likes it, but I feel it suits him very well."
Peter said in a light tone while touching the stone sculpture's head. : "Come on, Bruce, say hello to our new friend Venom, and be polite." "
In the future, you will have one more friend besides me~"
Chen Lin'an looked at Peter standing next to the stone sculpture and was silent for a moment. Then he said in a serious tone: "How long have you been having this symptom? I think you should see a doctor."
Hearing Chen Lin'an's solemn question, Peter also realized how strange his behavior was, and he touched it awkwardly head, and then explained with a stiff giggle that it was just a joke.
In order not to be suspected of having any mental problems, Peter also brought the topic back to Mysterio.
