Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe

Ever since Jameson introduced the two to each other, Peter Parker had been staring at Xu Wang.

It was as if he wanted to see through Xu Wang's disguise and confirm whether he was really alive.

It's just not the time yet.

Peter forcibly suppressed the idea of ​​questioning Xu Wang.

At this thought, Peter Parker felt a little headache again.

Jameson didn't care what his two new recruits were thinking.

He is very busy and has limited time.

I don’t have time to bring new people in person.

After confirming that both new employees were reporting, Jameson put his feet up on his desk, knocked on a newspaper on the table, and said, "Now the whole of New York is discussing those two masked criminals. We also need to keep following up.

Although I don't like them, newspapers with them on the front page do sell well.

Did you see that? "

Jameson said, pointing to the two blurry figures on the newspaper, and continued: "Spider-Man and Dragonfly. We need clearer photos of them! As long as you can take photos that satisfy me, I can I’ll give you a generous bonus!”

Hearing this, Peter finally looked away from Xu Wang and turned to look at Jameson.

Little Spider is so poor, it would be great to make money.

This is what he came for.

Hearing this confirmed by Editor-in-Chief Jameson made Peter's heart feel hot.

Maybe after I get the bonus, I can buy some gifts for Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei.

Jameson looked at Xu Wang and said, "Of course, the photos of the two masked criminals are just for emblems. You can get the bonus if you want, but you must complete your mission. Do you understand?"

Peter heard Jameson say that he and Uncle Ben were masked criminals again, and he immediately wanted to retort.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Jameson had already turned to look at Peter: "As for you, you are still a student, right? You can only work part-time, you know? It's a part-time job! I will not let you become my regular employee. of."

Peter immediately raised his hands: "Of course, Mr. Jameson, a part-time job is enough. I will graduate soon, and now I just want to work-study."

"very good!"

Jameson nodded, then shouted outside the office: "Patton! Patton!"

"Coming, coming!"

As Jameson yelled.

A female voice also sounded from outside.

With the sound of high heels.

The office door was pushed open, and a tall working woman with blond bob hair opened the door and walked in: "Editor-in-Chief, what's the matter?"

Her hand was still on the door handle, and she was leaning forward and leaning into the room.

Jameson picked up a cigar and cut it open, and waved to Miss Patton: "Two new people are here. You take them to go through the onboarding process, and then find Robbie."

"good."

Miss Patton nodded and motioned to Xu Wang and them to follow him.

"Then let's go first, Mr. Jameson."

Although he didn't like Jameson speaking ill of himself and Uncle Ben, Peter still greeted Jameson politely before leaving.

Jameson had just lit his cigar.

Hearing this, he took off his cigar, blew out the smoke, and smiled twice at Peter.

Then there is no other representation.

Miss Patton was already very familiar with the job at hand.

The entry procedures were quickly completed for Xu Wang.

His position is that of a front-line investigative reporter, and he can receive a monthly salary of 5,800 yuan.

As for Peter Parker, he's only part-time, but he still has a contract to fill out.

Calculate the daily balance for him, and the daily working time should not exceed four hours.

After a month, I definitely won’t earn much.

But Parker was satisfied.

At least it's better than when he delivered pizza before.

In normal times, Parker can stay in the Bugle Building and do whatever work is assigned to him.

But according to Miss Patton, he should spend more time being an outdoor photojournalist.

His boss will arrange photography tasks for him, and then he can just take the photos or videos and bring them back later.

In this job, I often have to run outside regardless of wind or rain.

It takes several hours to run, so some veteran employees don't want to do it.

Now that Peter is a part-time employee, arrangements will definitely be made for him.

"Very good!"

When Peter Parker heard this, he screamed with joy.

This is what he wants.

Peter had hesitated before hearing that he might be asked to stay in the building as a clerk.

It would be perfect if you are running outdoors.

In this way, he can also fight crime while taking part-time photos.

This is exactly what Peter needs.

"What?"

Miss Patton was confused when she saw Peter so happy.

"Ah, no, no, I mean, I have no objection."

Peter waved his hands in a panic.

Miss Patton stared at Peter for a while, probably because he was still young, and then said: "Don't show off. If you feel hard, you can tell me and I will help you arrange other work."

Peter was a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Thank you, Miss Patton, but please don't worry, I can do it."

Xu Wangze whistled from the side: "As expected of you, Peter, your luck in love has always been so good."

Peter turned his head: "Xu Wang, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Wang put his hands in his pockets: "Who is Xu Wang? I am Xu Dawang."

Peter was probably convinced at this time, gritting his teeth: "You just said that Xu Wang is your brother, but now you don't know who Xu Wang is?"

Xu Wang: "..."

Xu Wang was silent for a moment, and then said: "I was so sad that I forgot about him. This is called dissociative amnesia, which is a self-defense mechanism that occurs after trauma."

This time Peter was silent.

Seeing Xu Wang lying there with his eyes open, he was angry and funny.

In the end, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Although I don't know what's going on, Mr. Xu Wang, you are welcome to come back."

Peter said, already opening his hands and giving Xu Wang a big hug.

This may be a bit strange to say.

But now Peter really feels like a dream.

As he hugged Xu Wang, Peter's mind replayed the scene where Xu Wang almost broke into two pieces and died in front of him a few months ago.

"Wow!"

Miss Patton next to her, as a mere passer-by, had no idea what was going on.

Look at her feeling happy now.

"Hey! Peter, this is our first time meeting, are you a little too anxious?"

Xu Wang looked shy, spoke in a low voice, and patted Peter on the shoulder again.

Peter was immediately excited, and then quickly let go of Xu Wang.

However, after seeing Xu Wang's proud smile, Peter immediately realized that he had been fooled again.

This made Peter very helpless.

It’s been a few months since I became Spider-Man.

All along, he was the one playing tricks on those criminals.

But when Xu Wang came back, he fell into other people's pranks again and again.

Back.

The familiar feeling is back.

But it has to be said that after being so disturbed by Xu Wang, Peter's heart was healed from his PTSD.

There is no longer the deep sadness that was hidden in my heart before.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, we haven't finished our work today yet. Maybe you can wait and continue, or should I give you a few minutes to go to the toilet?"

Next to her, Miss Patton was holding back her laughter and started joking.

When Peter heard this, he was immediately frightened and quickly explained: "No, no, no! Miss Patton, unlike what you think, I have a girlfriend."

Xu Wang also nodded crazily beside him: "I don't have a girlfriend, but I have a dog, a robot, and a good son."

Peter looked at Xu Wang helplessly: "Brother! I beg you, just say less."

Hearing this, Xu Wang crossed his arms and said seriously, "You see, I have a younger brother now, a half-brother."

"Come with me, you guys are fun and welcome to the Daily Bugle."

Miss Patton laughed and took the two of them to find a big black man named Robbie.

He is Jameson's assistant, assisting Jameson in managing the employees below.

He is Xu Wang's immediate superior.

Robbie was busy arranging the new issue of the newspaper.

Seeing Paton bringing two newcomers over to recognize them, he nodded: "Hello, welcome to the Bugle Daily. You are not in a hurry to go to work today. Just let Paton take you to familiarize yourself with the newspaper office. The official work will start tomorrow. , no problem?"

Peter Parker immediately said: "No problem, sir!"

Xu Wangze said: "When will my salary be paid? Can it be paid on the same day?"

Robbie frowned: "Salaries are paid on the 15th of every month and there is no daily settlement. Are you short of money?"

Xu Wang nodded, and then under Robbie's surprised gaze, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the screen and looked at it.

I found out that today happened to be the 15th, so I was surprised and said: "Great, today is the time to pay wages!"

Saying that, Xu Wang stretched out his hand towards Robbie, his eyes full of expectation.

The meaning is self-evident.

Robbie was silent for a moment.

Jameson has recruited something for himself.

When Peter saw that Xu Wang was sick again, he quickly bumped his shoulder and reminded him in a low voice: "You haven't started working yet, and I won't pay you until the 15th of next month."

Xu Wang frowned when he heard this and said in disbelief: "Is there such a thing? If you don't work, you won't get paid?"

Robbie sighed: "What good thing are you thinking about? If you can find a job where you can get paid without working, remember to tell me."

"Oh well."

Xu Wang felt a little regretful and stuffed Robbie's cell phone into his trouser pocket.

This action made Robbie's eyelids jump.

Fortunately, Xu Wang took out his cell phone and gave it back to Robbie in the next second, and said cheerfully: "I'm just teasing you, I only pick up garbage, and I also have a cell phone."

Xu Wang said, patting the personal terminal on his arm.

Yes.

A suit, myopia glasses, and a personal terminal on his left hand are a common combination in the wasteland.

There are some aliens in this world.

Miss Patton and the others have wanted to ask for a long time, but they have been holding back.

We left each other’s mobile phone numbers.

Robbie quickly urged Miss Payton to take Xu Wang and the others away.

I was afraid that talking to Xu Wang for a while longer would cause his high blood pressure to relapse.

Miss Patton actually thinks Xu Wang and Peter are quite cute.

I stood nearby and kept laughing and having fun.

She could tell that the two new colleagues were good people.

Just maybe a little naughty.

But it reminded her of her brother, which made her like him even more.

"Come on, I'll take you around the building. Don't disturb Mr. Robbie."

Miss Patton again hoped that they would begin to learn more about the Daily Bugle in more detail.

As a news media founded by J. Jonah Jameson.

The Daily Bugle has also been established for more than 20 years.

Before the last century, the news industry was almost dominated by newspaper media.

The Daily Bugle also developed during that golden age.

But to this day.

It’s already the end of 2012.

The world has long entered the television age and the Internet age.

Jameson had a long-term vision and realized that traditional print media was becoming increasingly weak. Therefore, while maintaining the print media platform, he also began to develop radio stations, television news media, and online news platforms.

The results were very successful.

Only then can we independently acquire a large 46-story news building in Manhattan, New York, where land is at a premium.

Followed Miss Patton around.

The Daily Bugle, which has a general understanding of this world.

Xu Wangdu admired the editor-in-chief who looked a little paranoid.

No wonder that in some Marvel comics, Jameson was finally able to successfully run for mayor of New York.

He is indeed quite capable.

After a while, Miss Patton's mission was completed, and Xu Wang and the others were free.

Then it's their personal time, and they can do whatever they want.

Just remember to come to work tomorrow.

Miss Parton is gone.

Xu Wang and Peter also left the Horn Building.

Standing on the curb at 39th Street at Second Avenue.

Looking at the traffic in front of me, and the pedestrians coming and going beside me.

At this time, Xu Wang and Peter were finally left alone.

Peter was 100% sure at this time that the Xu Wang beside him was the Xu Wang he thought was dead.

Therefore, I want to ask the question that I have been holding back for a long time.

Although the two of them were in a public place, they were surrounded by pedestrians.

But in this environment, no matter what you talk about, people around you will actually ignore you.

It's no different than being alone.

So without thinking, Peter decisively asked Xu Wang his biggest question: "What state are you in now? Living dead? Or resurrected from the dead? How did you do it?"

After all, he is also his good brother. Xu Wang did not hide anything and said directly: "I am resurrected from the dead. In fact, I am immortal."

"I knew it!"

Peter was a little surprised, and then asked curiously: "Then where have you been these past few months? Or does it take this long to come back from the dead?"

"That's not true. During this period, I am not in this world. In fact, I am not from your world. You must know the parallel world. You can regard me as a traveler in the parallel world."

Xu Wang put his hands in his pockets and walked with Peter on the streets of New York, chatting as they walked.

He told Peter roughly all the stories about his travels through several worlds, which made Peter's mouth open wide.

After Xu Wang finished speaking, Peter said: "Cool! I feel like I can write an 800,000-word novel."

Then his uncontrollable curiosity emerged, and he asked in anticipation: "Then can you take me to other worlds?"

Xu Wang recalled the skill description of [Dimensional Wall], nodded and said: "It's okay, but the time is limited at the moment. Now I can only invite you to travel for 25 seconds. Maybe there will be other better ways in the future."

Peter was easily satisfied: "25 seconds is not bad."

As he spoke, Peter seemed to have thought of something again, and he said happily: "By the way, can I tell Uncle Ben and the others about your resurrection from the dead? They will definitely be very happy if they find out."

Xu Wang nodded: "Of course that's no problem, but tell me first, where is the tombstone you erected for me?"
