The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

After listening to Yang Le's analysis, Gwen also felt that this matter was indeed a bit strange. This business trip was Neil's first time in the United States. He had no relatives or acquaintances here.

It could be said that if it weren't for his sudden ability awakening, no one would have noticed him, a small character. It seemed that someone was indeed targeting his ability.

Turning mutant abilities into tangible benefits wasn't something ordinary people could do. Just as Yang Le said, the government and the military were the most likely suspects.

Using the convenience of her abilities, Yang Le took the initiative to investigate the government and the military, while Gwen naturally ran to the streets to patrol, hoping to find some useful information.

However, Gwen herself didn't have much hope for this kind of luck-based behavior on the streets, but she still had some enthusiasm for the rare hero activity. Even if she didn't find anything useful, it would be nice to swing around New York after a long time.

Of course, Gwen wasn't wandering around aimlessly. She decided to first visit the places that the superhumans who disappeared had been recorded to visit before, hoping to find some clues.

Gwen's first stop was the mutant detention center, but because Neil's disappearance had caused a lot of panic in society, the detention center had been upgraded in terms of both security and construction in order to reverse the outside world's doubts about the safety of the detention center.

The crime scene had changed drastically, so it was naturally impossible to find anything useful. Gwen relied on the stealth function of her Symbiote Suit, snuck in for a walk, and then left.

Next was the hotel where Neil had stayed, but there was nothing useful to be found there either because of the cleaning staff. Finally, there was the Empire State Building, where Neil's ability had awakened.

But unfortunately, the public facilities near the place where Neil's ability awakened, which had been scorched black by his ability, and even the ground bricks had been replaced. Because Neil's case had been closed and a verdict had been announced, there were naturally no more police lines or anything to protect the scene, and nothing could be searched.

"Bad start," Gwen sighed softly, blocking the spider silk and leaving the Empire State Building, arriving at a relatively low building. Gwen was preparing to enjoy her lunch here. If it weren't for the reminder from the Symbiote Suit, Snowball, she would have almost forgotten to eat.

Climbing to the top of the water tank, she pulled down the backpack stuck to it. Gwen flipped over and landed on the ground, then walked to the edge of the building and sat down on the ground, naturally stretching her feet out over the edge, looking like a stockbroker who had lost everything, choosing a flying posture.

Humming a song that everyone had composed together when she was in Mary Jane's band, Gwen opened the zipper of her backpack. Inside was her lunch for today: a huge beef sandwich and a bottle of sports drink, along with many individually wrapped energy bars and chocolates for emergencies.

Seeing the lunch Yang Le had prepared for her, Gwen's eyebrows curved into crescents. In a good mood, she was thinking about where to start eating from.

"Tap tap tap!"

Just as Gwen was about to take a big bite of the sandwich, a burst of rapid footsteps attracted her attention. However, since the Transform Suit was made of nano-crystal robots, Gwen didn't need to take off the entire mask, just move the nano-crystals away from her mouth, so Gwen didn't panic.

Gwen held up the sandwich and turned her head. On the way back, she also took a bite of the sandwich. Suddenly, the milky aroma of the bread, the salty aroma of the special sauce and cheese, and the meaty aroma of the steak all exploded in her mouth.

Along with the deliciousness, the door to the rooftop also opened. A black-haired girl was panting and propping herself up with her legs. Perhaps because she had run up to the rooftop, the girl didn't have the energy to look up at Gwen, but she was still saying loudly in a broken voice.

"Wait… wait a minute, don't… jump!"

It turned out to be a kind-hearted girl who thought she was going to jump off the building. Gwen chewed the sandwich in her mouth, feeling warm and amused at the same time.

"Hehehe…"

Gwen quickly shut her mouth. She didn't expect to laugh out loud, and the girl opposite her obviously heard it, and her body suddenly stiffened.

'Crap, crap, this is someone who is so desperate for the world that they've gone crazy.' Cindy thought to herself, feeling bad. She was just an ordinary high school girl and didn't understand any negotiation skills.

Today, she had only gone to her own company to visit the players. When she was stretching on the way home, she looked up and saw a pair of feet sticking out from the rooftop. Thinking someone was going to jump off the building, she rushed up without thinking. What should she do now? What if she said something wrong and broke the person's defenses?

In short, she should stabilize the other person first and then secretly call the police!

Having made up her mind, Cindy had almost calmed her heartbeat. She slowly raised her head to speak, but she happened to see Gwen putting the last piece of sandwich into her mouth.

"Huh?" Cindy was stunned.

"Eh?" Gwen was also stunned. She didn't expect to see a 'familiar person' in this universe.

Cindy Moon, or rather, should be considered her enemy. According to her and Yang Le's investigation, the reason she gained spider superpowers was because Cindy from universe 65B was playing tricks.

Because Cindy from universe 65B wanted to gain spider superpowers herself, but she didn't dare to experiment on herself, so she arranged a play to make herself her experimental subject.

Later, Harry's father and Kingpin also had her shadow in them, but after Yang Le sent Kingpin to prison, Cindy disappeared. No one knew where she went.

Later, Gwen gradually threw this matter into the corner of her memory. She didn't expect to remember it again today in this way, but the Cindy in front of her wasn't her enemy.

But looking at this face that originally made her hate her, Gwen was still a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"What, it's you," Cindy sighed, looking at Gwen with her hands on her hips.

Gwen was a little surprised, pointed at herself and asked, "You know me?"

"Of course, I'm also a student at Midtown High School. I was at the scene of the superhuman terrorist attack yesterday," Cindy waved her hand.

"Thank you for saving all of us. I was wondering how to thank you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Um, you're welcome," Gwen closed her mask, quietly threw the sandwich wrapper into her backpack, and said pretentiously.
