Brooklyn's night was very lively.
Peter Parker was carrying his bag and walking on the street in a pleasant mood. Several street lamps on the side of the road sprinkled bright yellow light, illuminating the dark night, guiding a way home.
Although it was winter now, Peter Parker did not feel cold, but felt a fire in his head.
"Hey hey hey..."
Under the soft yellow light, Peter Parker smiled foolishly. In his mind, he recalled the scene when he talked to Gwen, as well as the pleasant fragrance that was still fresh in his mind.
Even the pizza he usually liked to eat did not seem to be so attractive at this moment.
Gwen Stacy...
The golden-haired girl was like an angel sent by God to save him, dispersing the haze and darkness in the teenager's heart.
"Eh?"
Peter Parker put his hands in his pockets, and his face became a little strange. He took out a badge from his pocket.
It was a circular flat badge, which seemed to be made of some kind of metal. The front was engraved with the pattern of a 'spider' with the electroplating technology, and the opposite side was engraved with the name of Gwen Stacy.
"Strange..."
Peter Parker scratched his head and wondered: "Why is Gwen's badge here?"
I don't know what metal this spider badge is made of, it is heavy in the palm of the hand, quite heavy.
And the smooth cutting surface of the metal badge, as well as the appearance of a considerable sense of technology, Peter Parker preliminary estimates that this is absolutely not a cheap thing, at least not something that can be bought at will outside.
I don't know why...
At the first sight of the badge, Peter Parker deeply fell in love with it!
The spider pattern that was plated with electricity was simply too cool, and there seemed to be a voice in the darkness that had been echoing in Peter Parker's ear, making him take the spider badge for himself!
He could swear,
He was absolutely not lying!
This badge seemed to belong to him naturally, as if it was something he was destined to obtain!
"Hu... Hu... Hu..."
Peter Parker's eyes were red, his eyes were dull, breathing like a cow, and his hand was holding the spider badge.
One minute...
Two minutes...
Three minutes...
"No!"
"This is not my thing!"
"I have to return it to Gwen. I can't take her belonging!"
Peter Parker growled, blue veins even appeared on his white face. He forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart and quickly threw the spider badge into his backpack.
It was also strange.
When he threw the badge into the backpack, the voice in his mind disappeared, and it disappeared with one another, as well as the desire that he had just tried to claim for himself.
Peter Parker remembered the girl's smile, and his heart was happy.
"See you tomorrow, Gwen ---"
...
In the center of the cracked ground, bright red blood bloomed like a flower.
Inside the black and white spider battle armor, Gwen's lips were stained with blood. Her light blue pupils gradually slackened, and the rise and fall of her chest could not be detected. Her breathing was intermittent, making people feel as if she would die in the next second.
The sound in her ears gradually faded away, and the darkness in front of her became even thicker.
An unbearable silence, at this moment, was like death god's whisper, completely enveloping the young girl.
"Am... Am I going to die?"
Gwen's consciousness was still on the verge of death. The first person who appeared in her mind was not her parents and friends, but the young and silly face.
It was not Peter Parker in her universe, but Peter Parker in this universe!
Until the moment before death, Gwen was still thinking about him.
As a super hero, was she considered a success?
The promise made in the rainy night that she failed to save her best friend.
"With great powers comes great responsibility... I did it... Peter."
"Fortunately... I gave it to you before I left..."
"Hehe... Fool..."
"Don't you want to be a superhero?"
"This time... I won't stop you..."
"You must become... a hero that surpasses me..."
"Goodbye... Peter... Parker..."
Gwen only felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and everything in front of her was far away from her.
Whether it was the noise in her ears or the nerves on her body, she had never felt so relaxed. It made Gwen feel as if she had returned to her childhood and was playing on the lawn without worries.
"Dad... Mom... I'm back..."
...
"Roar -"
A huge white creature rushed out of the tunnel. Its face was covered with a white bone mask, and its scarlet eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty look. Its entire body was emitting an ominous and evil aura!
Just by standing next to it, the zombie was torn into pieces by the violent airflow caused by the spiritual power. The surrounding ground seemed to be swept up by a storm, and gravel and smoke rose into the sky.
Creature Zero - hollow!
Frank, who was in the laboratory, felt the ominous Spiritual Power. His face suddenly changed and he said in horror, "How can there be... hollow here"
"Oh?"
Kingpin raised his eyebrows and looked at Frank meaningfully. He smacked his lips and said, "From the looks of it, you seem to know this monster?"
"This is impossible!"
Frank's face was ashen. His eyes were like copper bells as he glared at Kingpin. He gritted his teeth and said, "It shouldn't have appeared here. What exactly did you do?"
"You want to know?"
It was the first time that Kingpin had seen Frank reveal such a panicked expression. He immediately became interested in the monster. "Why don't you tell me what that monster is first? I will tell you how it came about, right?"
"It... is called 'hollow'!"
Frank did not hesitate and said directly, "It is a monster formed after the soul of a human has fallen. It only acts on instinct and devours the soul of a living person. Now it is your turn. Tell me how you control it!"
Just from the feeling, that hollow's Spiritual Power was very terrifying. Even he felt that it was difficult to deal with, let alone Kingpin.
Therefore, Frank believed that Kingpin must have used some method to control that hollow, but he did not know the specific method.
"Hehe... It's very simple."
Kingpin smiled cruelly and said, "Although Zero... oh, it should be called hollow. Although it is very strong, it has no wisdom. So as long as you use the soul of a living person as bait, you can easily 'control' it."
It was indeed like this!
Although he had a vague guess, when he heard it, Frank still couldn't control the anger in his chest and almost wanted to shoot this damn bastard!
"How many souls did you feed to it?" Frank said with difficulty.
Kingpin pretended to think for a moment and reported a number, "I haven't counted them. There are about forty to fifty people."
Forty to fifty...
Frank's expression changed drastically. No wonder that hollow's spiritual energy was so terrifying. It turned out that he had already devoured so many souls!
Over a month after becoming death god, he had also killed many of hollow.
However, this was the first time he had encountered hollow who possessed such a level of spiritual energy. He was completely not confident that he could win!
Frank's eyes were bloodshot. "Now that things have come to this, can you still count how many people you have killed?"
"Good question."
Kingpin sneered and said indifferently, "Then do you remember how many pieces of bread you have eaten so far?"
