After answering the questions, the scoreboard on the screen displayed the points, and the gap between the top three players in the winning group was not significant. However, Jim Gordon from the losing group had already been eliminated without suspense.
Gordon couldn't help but feel a bit down, "it seems that being older indeed makes it challenging to adapt to these fresh things... I'm outdated."
In this group of four players, besides Peter, the other three were newcomers participating for the first time. Bruce and Arthur gained quite a few points but Gordon only lost points.
Gordon sighed, "I can accept losing to Bruce, after all, he's Batman, showing extraordinary intelligence and meticulous thinking in previous future videos. But losing to Arthur brings me down."
Peter, trying to comfort Gordon, said, "Mr. Gordon, it's normal not to adapt well to your first quiz game. Even if you lose this time, it won't be too serious..."
Gordon shrugged, saying, "I know, I know. Participating in such a magical game, win or lose, I've gained."
In the quiz game, a player's identity meant something extraordinary. Losing a couple of games didn't matter much; as long as you had this identity, various mysterious rewards could be obtained from the quiz game. Veteran players understood this well, and newcomers would realize it after participating.
So, although Gordon felt a bit frustrated, he also knew he was fortunate to be a player in this magical game. The levels and powers he would encounter in the future would be higher.
After two consecutive rounds of answering questions, the screen finally began to play the corresponding video of the correct answers. After Dr. Octopus and his nuclear fusion machine were buried under the river, Spider-Man left the scene. It was only at this point that the police arrived, receiving a red-eyed Mary Jane.
Spider-Man knew how heavy the burden and responsibility of his identity were, not wanting it to affect Mary Jane. He also felt that there was no future between them, even though they loved each other; he could only bury that love deep in his heart.
The female viewers outside the video couldn't help but be moved by this poignant love story. Meanwhile, the camera switched to Harry Osborn's mansion.
Learning that Spider-Man's true identity was his good friend Peter Parker, Harry was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, there was the revenge for his father's death, and on the other hand, the bond of brotherhood. Harry looked troubled in the camera.
In the video outside the screen, Harry also had a distressed face. As an observer, he watched these future videos, and his feelings were inexplicably complicated.
"Is my life just a failed drama?"
While others cared about Spider-Man in the video, Harry was more concerned about his future. He saw himself, after his father's death, still being close to Peter and witnessed the efforts he made to revive the family business, only to end up with nothing. He saw his woman being taken away by his friend...
Harry could only drink cup after cup of alcohol, the bitter liquid causing pain.
In this scene, it was remarkably similar to the video inside the screen.
At this moment, a strange laughter echoed in the empty house in the video. Harry, surprised and uncertain, stood up, looked around, and asked aloud. He didn't see anything, but the atmosphere became eerie as if an unseen ghost was lingering in the room.
How did this superhero blockbuster turn into a horror movie?
When Harry in the video suddenly saw his deceased father, Norman Osborn, in the mirror, many viewers were startled. Was this turning into a horror film?
"I knew that laughter, it's sounded familiar; yes, it's the Green Goblin's laughter. Didn't Spider-Man kill him?"
"No, Spider-Man didn't kill him; he died due to his glider. But why does he appear in the mirror? it's getting more like a horror movie!"
"No doubt, Harry will follow his father's footsteps and become the second Green Goblin, seeking revenge on Spider-Man! I remember there was an option in a previous question about the second Green Goblin!"
Harry in the video was also shocked by seeing his deceased father in the mirror, "Dad? I thought you..."
"No, I live in your heart, Harry. Now it's your turn. Swear to make Spider-Man pay, it's time to make him taste bitterness!" Norman Osborn, or the Green Goblin, incited his son for revenge.
But Harry seemed hesitant and conflicted, "But Peter is my friend..."
"I am your father!" The Green Goblin scolded angrily, "You are too weak, always have been weak. Unless you learn to take charge, now that you've seen Spider-Man's true face, you must become strong and seek revenge for me!"
Harry shook his head in despair. He couldn't do it; otherwise, he would have acted when he uncovered Spider-Man's mask.
"Seek revenge for me!" The Green Goblin in the mirror shouted angrily.
Harry couldn't help but roar, "No!"
He threw the knife in his hand at the mirror, but after shattering the mirror, he saw there was a hidden space behind it, full of dust and cobwebs.
Seeing this, in the eternal space, Peter couldn't help but say, "I knew it; I knew Harry wouldn't let hatred cloud his judgment..."
"No, it's too early to say that now," Bruce shook his head. "Look, the hidden room in the mirror must be his father's, the secret base set up by the Green Goblin. Then he'll take over his deceased father's identity and become the new Green Goblin!"
He was too familiar with secret rooms and such. Based on the previous information, it wasn't difficult to predict the subsequent developments. The video's continuation was indeed exactly as Bruce speculated.
With curiosity and confusion, Harry entered the secret room behind the mirror, and he found the complete set of Green Goblin equipment—mask, glider, pumpkin bombs, and, of course, the crucial green goblin serum!
"No, Harry can't do this" Outside the video, Peter still held some hope. He didn't want his friend to follow in his father's footsteps.
Gordon raised an eyebrow, "It's quite obvious. Kid, you might lose this good friend of yours."
