#106 - Chapter 128-129 Spider-Gwen's Week (Part 2)
Rumble——
A drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky.
Gwen Stacy, whose mood had sunk to rock bottom, stood alone in front of her father's tombstone in a daze, oblivious to the rain soaking her clothes.
It wasn't until a sudden thunderclap that she woke up as if from a dream, and then she moved her feet with difficulty, staggering towards home.
“Life is impermanent, and death is unpredictable…”
A silver-haired old man in a suit and leather shoes, dressed meticulously, and looking like an old English gentleman, suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He considerately held the umbrella over Gwen's head, and said with a smile:
“Child, I just happened to be passing by and noticed the intense desire deep in your heart.”
“If I had a way to let you meet your father's spirit and say a final goodbye, would you be willing to sign a contract with me and give me your soul to keep after you die?”
As he spoke.
The old man had already taken out an exquisite parchment scroll from his arms, shook it at Gwen, and indicated that this was the contract he was talking about.
But the latter obviously didn't believe such crazy talk, and continued to walk forward without even raising her head.
“Looks like the time is not yet right…”
The old man sighed inwardly, then put away the scroll, smiled and handed the umbrella in his hand, and said with concern:
“Then at least accept this umbrella, this is a kind gift from an elder!”
“No, you should keep it for yourself.”
Gwen refused expressionlessly: “Anyway, even if I get caught in the rain, I won't get sick at all.”
“Alas, business is getting harder and harder these days, and young people are all too vigilant…”
The old man looked in the direction where Gwen disappeared, took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and shook his head helplessly: “I really miss the times before the advent of the Internet.”
“No matter where you go, you can meet a lot of brainless fools, and you can fool them with one try… It seems that the good times are really over.”
Then the old man raised his hand, and the umbrella in his hand turned into an exquisite parchment scroll.
As long as Gwen accepted the umbrella, it would mean that she had agreed to the terms of the contract to sell her soul.
In this way, this old man… no, or should he be called 【Hell Lord】 Mephisto, would be able to harvest a high-quality human soul.
And the effect of a high-quality soul is far greater than the sum of a thousand ordinary souls.
Whether it is used to create high-level hell demons, or used as a scarce currency to trade with other 【Hell Lords】, it is extremely useful!
However, a temporary failure is nothing to Mephisto.
After all, many people have rejected him over the years.
In the end, they were still obediently deceived… ah no, moved by his true (cunning) sincerity (plan), and took the initiative to sign the contract!
Good food is not afraid of being late.
Gwen Stacy, don't worry, we will meet again soon.
Your soul will definitely not escape my grasp.
But it seems that I have to go back to hell and find two lecturers who have worked in MLM to take some lessons.
Otherwise, I really can't keep up with the times!
…………
……
Gwen walked home in the rain.
Holding her father's photo, she sat on the head of the bed and wept silently.
Gwen actually didn't have much memory of her mother.
She can't even remember her name.
Because she passed away shortly after she was born.
And from that time on, Gwen's father acted as both a father and a mother, doing his best to give her a complete and warm childhood…
It's just that death seems to always linger around Gwen, and once again shattered her happy life!
“Damn it, things shouldn't be like this…”
Gwen covered her face, letting tears drip from her fingers, and choked with self-blame:
“If I had secretly followed my father to the crime scene that night, just like before, that kind of accident would never have happened.”
As early as a few months ago, Gwen was accidentally bitten by a spider on the university campus and gained superpowers like a spider.
Not only does she have superhuman strength, speed, endurance, defense, and reaction ability.
She can also attach herself to various buildings like an insect and move quickly on those vertical surfaces.
So after getting familiar with these abilities.
Gwen quietly followed her father to crime scenes.
Whenever she encountered violent criminals who refused to surrender, she would secretly take action to knock down the criminals while her father was calling for support.
This not only helped her father make meritorious service and get promoted, but also satisfied the superhero dreams of a teenage girl.
Until an incident occurred more than a month ago that changed her mind.
One night, Gwen sneaked out to punish evil and promote good after her dad fell asleep.
As a result, she accidentally caught a criminal who was robbing in a dark alley.
After successfully subduing him, Gwen, as usual, hung the criminal and the murder weapon upside down on the lamppost at the entrance of the 【Queens District Police Station】.
Afterwards, she inadvertently learned from her father that.
The criminal she caught that day was actually the real murderer who had committed twelve serial murders half a year ago.
But the dramatic scene was——
A reporter from the 【Global Daily】, without verifying the truth, easily believed the lies of a liar who wanted to become popular by impersonating a serial killer.
And according to the “explosive” news content, he wrote a series of special reports, thus becoming famous and gaining both fame and fortune, and was promoted to the most popular front-line reporter in 【New York State】 in one fell swoop.
Then the police, who had been unable to solve the case for a long time, were forced to put pressure on the reporter named Eddie Brock due to the strong public opinion.
He was asked to reveal the real identity of the serial killer.
So Eddie Brock finally confessed the “imposter”.
But who would have thought that the real serial killer would be caught by Gwen by mistake after only a few months.
And Eddie Brock was soon discredited and fired by his old employer 【Global Daily】 for reporting fake news and providing wrong information to the police.
After this incident, Gwen was greatly encouraged and at the same time became more determined to "do justice".
So from that day on, she decided not to continue following her father George Stacy as a follower.
Instead, she officially started her “solo” mode.
Wandering like a ghost among the skyscrapers of 【Queens District】 every night.
It is precisely because of this that Gwen feels so self-blaming and regretful at this moment.
She even believes in an extreme way that if she hadn't made such a change, she wouldn't have missed the best opportunity to rescue her father.
【Gwen, it's time to take action…】
At this moment, a voice full of power suddenly stirred in Gwen's mind, naturally it was Khorne.
“Who's there?!”
Gwen was startled, but looking around, the room was empty except for herself.
Is it an auditory hallucination?
It must be like this, after all, even the 【Spider Sense】 has not been activated!
Maybe it's because I haven't closed my eyes for two days and two nights?
Or is it caused by excessive grief?
Forget it, it doesn't matter what it is…
The girl wiped away her tears, shook her head with a wry smile, “If Dad was at home, knowing that I haven't slept for so long, he would definitely put on a stern face and give me a lecture first, then give me a big hug and personally watch me go to sleep quickly…”
Speaking of the end, tears flowed down again involuntarily.
【Gwen, I am disappointed in the weakness you have shown…】
【If you really want to be a hero, then the first person you need to save is yourself!】
Khorne's powerful voice sounded again.
The latest novel is first published on 6⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥!
“Hero?”
Gwen seems to have regarded this voice as her auditory hallucination, not only is she not afraid, but she also regards it as a cathartic object to release the pressure in her heart, and said with self-deprecation:
“Have you ever seen a useless hero who can't even save his own father?”
“So the truth is… I can't save anyone!”
【But you can avenge him and let his soul rest in peace.】
【Your father is a good man and should not have been treated so cruelly… Of course, provided you have the courage and strength.】
Khorne continued to encourage her… or rather, bewitch her?
“That's right, my father is so upright and kind… He shouldn't have died, it's not fair, it's not fair!!”
Gwen felt that the anger accumulated in her heart was ignited in an instant, and she stood up abruptly, clenched her fists and said:
“I am Spider-Woman, I have the ability to avenge my father, and that bastard's crime is absolutely unforgivable… Absolutely not!!”
【Very good.】
Khorne was very satisfied when he saw this.
【Go, go and avenge in your own way… Remember, you are not fighting alone, when you need to fight, I will lend you strength!!】
……
Midnight.
A white and pretty figure, like a ghost, landed silently on the roof of the 【Queens District Police Station】 with the help of the spider silk swing.
Then Gwen used her hands and feet together, clinging to the vertical wall like a spider, and soon came to the northwest corner of the 4th floor, the office area where Sheriff Frank was located.
Originally, her dad also worked in this area, but now…
However, since Sheriff Frank, as the person in charge, is unwilling to tell her the relevant information about the murderer who killed her father, then she will find it herself from the computer…
Gwen sneaked into the room through an open window, and successfully found her father's desk according to the location she had noticed when she came to see her father before.
There was a large cardboard box on the table, which was filled with George Stacy's personal belongings. A photo frame placed at the top contained a photo of Gwen and her father laughing happily at the camera.
Gwen's eyes were red, she picked up the photo, gently wiped the side of her father, and then put it back reluctantly.
Presumably in a few days, the police station will send someone to return these things to her, right?
“I hope Dad's password still works…”
Gwen opened the computer on the desk and was about to use her father's account and password to log in to the police station's internal network to check relevant information when.
A beam of strong light shot from behind her, “Spider-Woman, I suggest you stop your illegal activities immediately!!”
A middle-aged female police officer who happened to be patrolling here aimed a tactical flashlight at Gwen with her left hand, and pressed her left hand on the revolver pistol on her waist with her right hand.
If the other party took any激烈的举动, she would immediately draw her gun and shoot.
“Spider-Woman, do you know what you are doing?”
“Sneaking into the police station and cracking the police's computer is a serious illegal act. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid your identity will immediately change from a vigilante in 【Queens District】 to a wanted criminal!”
Obviously.
Gwen's previous actions to help the 【Queens District Police Station】 arrest criminals won the praise of most police officers, so this middle-aged female police officer did not shoot her at the first time!
“Please listen to my explanation…”
Gwen obediently raised her hands and did not make any aggressive moves.
Because the 【Spider Sense】 did not indicate danger.
Then that is to say, the female police officer behind her does not pose a subjective threat to her.
“I heard that Sheriff Stacy was killed, he is a very nice person… I think I should do something for him… But I need to know more information about the murderer!”
When the middle-aged female police officer heard this, the tense expression on her face suddenly softened a lot, but she still asked vigilantly:
“That is to say, you plan to find clues from the police and then bring that damn monster to justice?”
“No.”
Gwen shook her head vigorously and said in an extremely firm tone: “This time, I don't want to see him go to jail, I want him to pay blood for blood!!”
When saying this, the anger that Gwen unintentionally exuded made the middle-aged female police officer feel a burst of inexplicable anxiety and unease in her heart.
After a brief silence.
“Okay…”
The middle-aged female police officer seemed to have noticed something, sighed with a complicated expression, then put down the flashlight and sat down in front of the computer.
While entering her account and password, she said:
“Strictly speaking, the police station building is also open to the public on weekdays, so from a technical level, you are not considered illegal until you log in to the police's internal network!!”
“Okay, back to the point, as of now, the identity of the murderer is still a mystery. We only have a few videos related to the murderer in our hands, but the content may be a bit too cruel…”
As she spoke.
The middle-aged female police officer had already pulled out the scene of the police officers encountering Anti-Venom on the day of the incident.
When she saw Anti-Venom biting off her father's head in one bite, Gwen's originally green face under the mask instantly became distorted.
“This guy looks as terrible as a monster, no one knows where it came from…”
The middle-aged female police officer gave a meaningful reminder: "However, one thing is certain, this guy is exceptionally powerful. Even bullets can't cause any effective damage to him."
"So even you... Spider-Woman, I still don't recommend you go looking for it alone."
However.
At this moment, Gwen couldn't listen to anything other than revenge. She immediately took out a USB drive and said:
"Please copy this video for me. I have a hacker friend who might be able to help find some clues."
The middle-aged female police officer didn't say much. She took the USB drive and copied the video into it.
Then, looking at the hurried white figure who said "Thank you" and leaped out of the window, she shook her head with a mix of helplessness and heartache:
"You must be careful... Little Gwen!"
