Chapter 99: The reason for the mutation
Chen Linan soon arrived at the place agreed with Peter, which was still on the top of the building where the bat statue named Bruce was.
The stone fence next to Bruce obviously looks like it has just been repaired, because the last time Chen Linan rested here, he was attacked by Thriller and Scorpion, causing the fence to be broken into pieces.
Fortunately, their attack didn't miss, otherwise Peter's good friend Bruce might have been blown to pieces.
After Chen Linan arrived here, he still sat on the fence and watched the news, waiting for Peter's arrival.
Peter has been troubled by the threat of mutation, so it must not come as fast as him, and he should have to wait a while longer.
James's annoying old face was still on the big screen, and he was still reporting news about Venom as usual.
The bodies of several people in Tombstone had been discovered and handed over to the police for disposal. The police department also held an official press conference on the matter.
Because the dead people were either fugitives or criminals with criminal records, the media was very enthusiastic and wanted to dig out some information.
And James is obviously the leader among this group of media. They used some clues and nearby people to witness evidence that Venom was here at that time, and immediately locked the murderer on Venom.
"Venom, the serial murderer, is still so rampant." The beard on James' lips trembled slightly, and he said seriously and firmly to the person in front of the screen.
"According to the exclusive news investigation by our reporter, the death conditions of the criminals were extremely miserable. One had his head cut off directly, and the head disappeared and has never been found." "One's chest was crushed, and even the bones were broken
. After investigation, it was confirmed that the body was poisoned by highly toxic substances, and the death condition was extremely miserable." "Such a
brutal murderer is considered a hero to maintain social order. I can't help but feel a little bit sad. Worrying about the future of our city."
After James finished speaking worriedly, he continued to express his opinion: "Many people may think that these deceased are criminals themselves, so they do not deserve mercy." "
But the order of operation of our society is that bad guys must It must be tried by the relevant government agencies."
"If everyone abuses lynching like Venom, it's hard to imagine what our city will become." ".
"
Chen Lin'an was lying on the fence basking in the sun. Regarding James's He is completely immune to the rhetoric. At the beginning, he would still feel very uncomfortable and his mood would be affected by his news, but now after hearing it more, he has no feelings anymore.
There is indeed nothing wrong with James' words in some aspects, and everyone has their own ideas. Chen Lin'an also understood this.
However, in his view, since those criminals challenged the legal order and did not receive the punishment they deserve, then this order is flawed and imperfect.
That's why people like him and Peter exist, to fill in the gap since order can't keep people protected from harm.
"Why is this old man like this! If I had known earlier, I should have left him alone in that factory and let him explode with that six-armed guy." Chen Lin'an has been numb to James during this time, but the venom that just woke up is
not In this way, it angrily scolded the ungrateful guy.
Even the idea was the same as Chen Lin'an before, thinking that maybe he should not be rescued from the factory together.
After Venom furiously dealt with James for a while, Peter finally arrived at the top of the building.
Looking at Chen Lin'an lying on the fence, Peter also touched his head and said apologetically: "Sorry, without the spider ability, I can't rush as before. I can only come here by car. There was a traffic jam just now." Peter was not wearing any clothes today
. Spider-Man's suit doesn't have any disguise, he just carries a handbag.
You can see that there are many bottles and cans in the handbag, as well as some paper reports.
"It's okay, I just came here not long ago." Chen Lin'an sat up and said to Peter, who was still out of breath.
Peter didn't say anything after hearing this. He just walked to the fence and touched Bruce, and then handed the information in his hand to Chen Lin'an.
"Here are some of my blood and other cell samples, as well as my research reports and various test reports."
Chen Lin'an reached out and took the information and looked through it. Peter continued: "I can only know my own mutation now. It will continue, and in a bad direction, just like the spider monster I mentioned before." "
But I have no way to stabilize my mutation or eliminate the mutation and become an ordinary person."
At this point, Peter couldn't help but feel a little irritated and frustrated. He covered his face and said in a low voice: "I don't want to become a monster. It doesn't matter if I lose my superpowers. It doesn't matter if I become an ordinary person." "I have been in Spider-Man since I became Spider-Man
. I fight against evil for the peace of this city. I don’t want to become a monster, destroy the peace and hurt other people.”
Chen Lin’an was also touched when he heard this. He understood Peter’s sadness and helplessness very well. If this matter can really be solved, he I don’t want to watch Peter turn into a monster, and then kill him mercilessly for the sake of the peace of the city.
Looking at the information in his hand, Chen Lin'an also thought of what he had just said to Venom on the road: "Have you been exposed to anything that might cause you to mutate before you mutated?" Hearing Chen Lin'an's question, Peter also raised his eyebrows
. He began to think, "What caused my mutation?"
"That's right, because I have also thought about the reason for your mutation before." Chen Lin'an nodded and continued.
"You have to know that it has been several years since you became Spider-Man. There has been nothing abnormal in the past few years, so why did you suddenly start to mutate?" "Either
your genes should not be able to stop when you start to mutate, and you will directly become a monster. , or it should be in a stable state after mutation like you before." "
So your sudden mutation should be due to encountering something that caused you to mutate. Do you have any clues or memories about this?"
Chen Lin'an's analysis made Peter Lost in thought, he had never thought about the reason.
Sure enough, it was right to ask Venom to help him solve the mutation problem. Now that he was completely trapped in his own thinking logic, he needed some new angles that were different from his own.
"I remember when we were dealing with the lizard man before, you fell into the water with him." Chen Lin'an suddenly thought of the new genetic recombination device he used when he was dealing with the lizard man.
"There was a bright light in the water, and when we came up, the lizard man had transformed back into Dr. Connors." "
So, could your mutation be related to the new genetic recombination device?"
I heard. Peter also fell into deep thought about Chen Lin'an's words, and had to say that this was very possible.
Peter pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said: "I'm not sure about this. I can't rule out that he had some influence on my genes." "But
according to previous research, the gene should be injected first, and then the new gene recombination should be carried out." It will be effective.”
After saying this, Peter suddenly paused. He suddenly thought about the mutated spider gene in his body. Was this equivalent to the fact that he had injected the animal's gene?
"Damn, it seems really possible! The source of my spider ability is a mutated spider biting me." Thinking of this, Peter also became a little excited.
After hearing Peter's words, Chen Lin'an continued: "If it is because of the new genetic recombination device, then we can try to use the same device to reverse it." "After all, lizard people can turn back into humans, there is no reason why you can't.
"
Peter also nodded solemnly, and he finally found some hope of breaking the situation.
But Chen Lin'an soon remembered something again, and continued with an ugly expression: "No, if it's just because of the new genetic recombination device, then why did your spider ability begin to disappear recently." "Think about it again
, Is there any other abnormal situation?"
After hearing Chen Lin'an's words, Peter's heart, which had just been relieved, became tense again. He frowned and thought carefully about what abnormal situation happened when he first felt the spider's ability disappear. occur.
After thinking for a moment, Peter opened his eyes as if he had remembered something and said, "I remembered it!" "
That was a few days before my spider ability started to disappear. I saw an experiment while flying. There was a fire in the room, so I went inside to rescue people." "
After finally rescuing everyone, I carefully checked to see if anyone was still trapped inside. At that time, a burned machine suddenly started up, and I I was also illuminated by a beam of energy emitted by it."
"Because nothing happened at the time, and the incident itself was very inconspicuous, so I didn't pay much attention to it afterwards." "Now that I
think about it, it was probably the influence of the energy beam. When it reached my body, it induced subsequent mutations." After thinking of this incident, Peter's thoughts became smoother and smoother.
The more he recalled, the more he felt that this was the reason, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to the machine at the time, and he didn't know what the energy beam was.
After hearing Peter's memories, Chen Lin'an also said seriously: "It seems that your mutation is complicated. I think it may be the combined effect of the new gene recombination device and the strange energy beam." "Do you still remember that laboratory
? Where is the address? I'll go check out the situation later. At least I need to know what that energy beam is."
Peter's current situation is not suitable for running around anymore, so he can go to that place to take a look later and figure out what's going on. What exactly is energy ray?
Peter also knew what Chen Linan meant, so after thinking for a while, he told him the location of the laboratory.
