"Hello, um... no, don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm." The young man immediately separated his hands and raised them in front of him, and said: "My name is Peter Parker, and I am a researcher at Livermore National Laboratory. Work around here!”
Peter pointed at himself, and then opened his arms again to show that he had absolutely no malice. Elsa felt that the name sounded familiar, and suddenly she showed an expression of realization.
Bruce turned to look at Elsa. He now trusted Elsa's judgment. Although he didn't know why, Elsa's father seemed to have passed on his superior IQ and precise judgment to the little girl. Anyway, he is definitely much better than me, so I believe that she is right.
Elsa looked at Bruce and nodded. Bruce knew that Peter Parker was not lying. He looked around and found that the fog showed no intention of dissipating, so he stepped forward and shook Peter's hand and said, "Bruce Way." Well, are you lost too?"
Peter's eyes widened in disbelief. He looked at Bruce blankly and said, "You said you were Bruce Wayne, did I hear you correctly? Are you Batman??!"
This time it was Bruce's turn to be stunned. He blinked and said, "You and I are from the same universe. Are you also from Gotham?"
"No, of course not, but I have read "Gotham Travels". Oh, it is a diary written by a Spider-Man who has traveled to your universe. It mentioned you, Batman, you are a great hero."
It took Bruce about two minutes to process the amount of information in this sentence. In other words, this guy named Peter Parker knew someone who had been to Gotham. Of course, he might not have gone to his Gotham, but to other universes. Gotham.
Then he traveled there and wrote down what he saw and heard, and happened to be seen by Peter Parker. Maybe he also took a picture of Batman and learned his real name, so today they are here This happened.
Bruce felt that this was a bit too coincidental. There must be some secret arrangement, but Kaisa was thinking about another thing.
Because the previous Spider-Man went to Gotham in the main universe, Elsa also knows Spider-Man's famous name, especially from the Gotham people in the main universe. Her understanding of Spider-Man's abilities is no better than that of New York. few people.
And she can analyze more, such as inferring his specific strength level through certain word-of-mouth deeds of Spider-Man, and inferring his intelligence and reaction ability through his reaction in the face of emergencies. Through the equipment on his body, his scientific research ability and experience can be inferred.
What is certain is that Spider-Man is quite powerful, but Elsa cannot speculate on the upper limit for the time being, and perhaps there is no upper limit at all. Give him a fulcrum, and he can throw himself on the earth.
Secondly, what makes Elsa confused is that the same problem appears in many Spider-Man deeds, that is, Spider-Man reacts a bit too quickly when facing critical situations, or it cannot be said to be a reaction, but more like Anticipate, then avoid.
This can't be a coincidence, it shows that Spider-Man may indeed have similar precognitive abilities.
When the timeline of this universe was reset several times, and Bruce and Elsa found themselves back at the original starting point, although Bruce was angry, Elsa remained sane, and she pulled Bruce to review.
Elsa knew that the first task now was not to follow the angry Bruce to find someone to settle accounts with. Even if he wanted to settle accounts, it would be a matter later. Now he had to figure out who was blocking them and why.
There is an advantage to the fact that Bruce's language is not so logical. Like ordinary people, he speaks a lot of words in a long way to avoid missing details, and he can easily be led to recall many details.
Elsa slowly asked Bruce about his previous time reset encounters. Of course, Bruce also told Elsa the details of when he explored the warehouse and was bitten by a spider, but at that time Elsa thought it was just a trap. The small accident did not connect the two events of being bitten by a spider and Bruce's sudden gain of power.
But Elsa can also be said to be a very smart person. After seeing Spider-Man and thinking of Spider-Man's series of abilities, she immediately thought that what Bruce had acquired was probably Spider-Man's abilities.
So the question is, if you become Spider-Man after being bitten by a spider, how many Spider-Man’s must there be in the world? And if you want to become Spider-Man, you not only have to be bitten by a spider, but what other conditions are required?
Because there was insufficient information at this time, Elsa did not speak rashly. She heard Peter say anxiously: "I'm sorry, but I really want to ask you if you know how to get there... Well, you may not have heard of that laboratory, but You should know that there is a domed house in that place, and there is a circular square around it, which is quite conspicuous. Did you see it when you were driving?"
Bruce was a little confused, but Elsa jumped and said, "Suburbs, let's go to the suburbs."
Bruce suddenly realized, and he said, "Did you drive in the opposite direction? If you want to go to the Bay Area, shouldn't you go south? This is the road out of the city, and we are going to the suburbs."
"Impossible!" Peter was completely confused. He said, "I got off the bus near the Bay Area. The driver said he was almost out of gas and needed to refuel, so he dropped me off early. I thought... It’s not far, just a few steps away, but I didn’t expect it to be foggy.”
"We were almost out of downtown San Francisco before we drove into this fog."
Both of them were a little confused, and they both wondered whether they were awake or hallucinating.
"Occultism." Elsa shouted a word. Bruce couldn't understand what she meant for a moment, but Peter was Spider-Man after all, and he could be considered a person who had seen strong winds and waves. He put his hands on his waist and looked around, sighing.
"It seems that we are in trouble, but I am really in a hurry. The professor's experiment has made a major breakthrough. He finally found a suitable ignition particle and is starting the high-energy physics collider. I have to hurry over..."
"Oh, you have a car, right?" Peter looked at Bruce's car and said, "How about I get in your car and we try to drive forward?"
"The car is out of gas and won't start. Otherwise, why would I stop here? I also have something urgent to do."
The two of them looked at each other in silence, and Peter looked back into the depths of the thick fog, where the ethereal figure was still standing.
"Hey, man, how long are you going to stand there? Come here if you have anything to do, and send us out if nothing happens. What are you doing? What's the benefit of trapping us all here?"
Peter raised his hand, sighed in annoyance, shook his head and said, "Nothing has gone well lately. I'm so depressed that I just want to find someone to fight."
"Who isn't?" Bruce leaned against the car, folded his arms and said angrily: "I dare say that if you listen to my experience, you will definitely feel that you are living the happiest life in the world."
Peter was a little unconvinced at this point, and he was troubled in his heart.
About two weeks ago, Stark came to him and said he hoped he could open a spider totem portal to other universes.
But just a few days before Stark arrived, the Spider Legion clearly reiterated the rule that the Spider Totem Portal is not allowed to be abused. This rule was developed by the first few Spider-Man to join the Spider Legion, that is, Peter and the others. , in order to enhance the stability of the universe's structure.
Peter had actually known for a long time that the structural stability of his universe was in shambles, and he didn't know why, whenever there was a disaster in the multiverse, they would definitely invade their universe.
In the past few years, intruders have come and gone as they please. They don't consider the stability of the universe's structure when they come and go. Those who smash on the door, those who knock on the windows, and those who really can't get in can still Make holes.
Yesterday, he also called Scarlet Witch and heard that the mutants were already studying where they would go after the structure of the universe collapsed.
Peter, who was able to leave this universe and watch from a third-party perspective, knew that this was not alarmist, and that the stability of their universe was truly in jeopardy.
Peter was originally worried about this, and when Stark came to see him, it was a little hard for Peter to refuse, but for the sake of the entire universe, he still refused.
He felt that Iron Man would definitely understand him. This was a major matter related to the survival of the universe, but he did not expect that Iron Man actually thought that he would disregard their feelings for the sake of justice and justice. This was the first time for Peter to meet Stark. The noise was so loud that he still hasn't recovered yet.
Fortunately, his body was previously controlled by the ultimate Spider-Man, Otto, which led to the two of them forming a friendship and deciding to work together for the future of mankind. When he heard that Otto was coming to San Francisco for research, Peter also Just followed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, the research was not going well. The key factor for igniting the artificial sun could not be found. Peter and Otto had no ideas and felt very bored.
Otto finally found the ignition factor, and Peter was just about to go watch it, when he encountered heavy fog and got lost directly at the entrance of the laboratory. Don't you think this is just like when people are unlucky and their teeth are blocked when they drink cold water?
Anyway, now they were trapped by some mysterious force and couldn't get out. They were idle, and Spider-Man's chatty nature came into play again. Peter opened his mouth and told Bruce all these things.
And what saddens him the most is his relationship with Stark, Peter said, sitting on the front hood of the vehicle with his back to Bruce, clasping his hands on his lap.
"You know what? I just came back from other universes some time ago, and there's one universe in particular that I don't know what to say."
"There is also Spider-Man in that universe. Of course, he is a little different from other Spider-Man. He is well protected by his elders and he prefers to work in the laboratory for the future of mankind."
"Although I told him that Spider-Man wants to protect ordinary people every night, I really think so, but sometimes I really think about it. If I hadn't been bitten by that spider, I would have successfully graduated and entered the internship. The Osborn Group, and maybe the Stark Group, will the change I bring to the world be greater than it is now."
"The universe is always going to be destroyed." Peter lowered his head and said, "And our universe will be destroyed very early. When I think about this, I always feel a little powerless, so I always think about what would happen if I were not Spider-Man. , but a Peter Parker like that kid, can I save this universe?"
"It's a pity that things didn't work out." Peter shook his head slightly and said, "I may not be a good scientist."
Bruce understood what Peter was saying, because it was actually a very simple thing. It was probably that there were two paths before this young man, either to be a street hero or to be a scientist.
Before, he had always thought that being a street hero would be quite good. He could effectively protect everyone. However, the situation in their universe was getting worse and worse. Being a superhero who only maintained law and order was not enough to deal with such major events. And lack of strength.
Bruce understands this feeling all too well. Is there anyone in the world who is more helpless than him?
He has full levels, full attributes, and top-notch equipment, but he can't get through that damn dungeon. He, a level 2 account who just left the novice village, is obsessed with saving the world?
But he actually entered the dungeon with his shabby equipment and terrible attributes. His face was bruised and swollen after being beaten, so he wanted to go to another dungeon to refresh his equipment first, but he found that this dungeon was only better than that bad dungeon. Even so, his nose and face were still bruised and swollen from the beating.
Thinking of this, Bruce finally couldn't stand it any longer. He sighed deeply and said, "At least you are doing well in the superhero industry. You think you can't save the universe by fistfighting with criminals, but have you ever thought about it? You can't even beat a criminal with your fists."
