Chapter 23 Death is not the end, forgetfulness is

In front of the house, all that was left was Aunt Mei's lonely figure and the mess at the scene.

Peter tried hard to control his emotions, but his heart was beating wildly. At this moment he was panicked and confused.

He knew that Aunt Mei would grow old, but he never imagined that she would age so drastically.

Yes, she lost her husband at the age of 43 and her only nephew at the age of 50. Fate had already destroyed this strong woman beyond recognition.

"You look nervous, Peter..."

Shadow Spider-Man joked, but this guy was also very nervous.

"How dare you say that to me?!"

"I am excited. I can finally see Aunt Mei again..."

Shadow Spider-Man has a sad tone. In the dark era of the Great Depression, his high-spiritedness led to the death of Uncle Ben. In the end, he was bitten by a spider and became Spider-Man to punish evil and promote good.

But that era was an era of bad guys, and he offended too many bad guys. In the end, the kind-hearted Aunt May died tragically under the enemy's gun because of his recklessness. The death of Uncle Ben and Aunt May was an indelible pain in his life.

"Peter... that's a weird thing to say. Never mind, brother. I can tell you from my experience that you must not be too reckless. Otherwise, Uncle Ben and Aunt May will get hurt because of your recklessness. Your Uncle Ben..."

"He's fine. I killed the criminal. I don't allow anyone to threaten the people around me. Even if you don't understand, I don't care..."

"You really are... If only I could be like you..."

Shadow Spider-Man laughed at himself, but gave a thumbs up to show his admiration.

"Peter, you are different from the you in this world. He often says..."

"With great power comes great responsibility, right?!" Peter and Spider-Man Noir said in unison, then laughed and said, "This is what Uncle Ben taught me, and I'll never forget it!"

"Okay guys and girls, come with me, I know this place very well!"

Stretching, Peter said with a smile.

"Where are they?! And I'm also very familiar with them, okay..."

Mary Jane said speechlessly.

Despite their complaints, the three of them still sneaked in from the backyard. Although they killed a group of ignorant guys, who knows if Jin Bing, the wily and calculating fat guy, has any tricks up his sleeve? !

The backyard is not big, but it is well maintained. There is a small lawn and a lawn mower in the corner. There is also a small house on the other side, which is probably a storage room for sundries. I don't know why the lawn mower is not put back in the storage room.

Peter knew that this was Uncle Ben's habit, and Aunt May often quarreled with Uncle Ben about this matter. Of course, it was just a small quarrel between husband and wife, a kind of interest that had lasted for many years.

Maybe after Uncle Ben of this world passed away, Aunt May also developed this habit, just as if Uncle Ben was still alive...

Standing at the back door of the yard, the two Peter Parkers didn't dare to take another step. They looked at each other and motioned for the other to knock on the door.

Seeing the two guys being so hesitant, Mary Jane held her forehead in silence and then knocked on the door.

Two grown men are really screwed...

dong dong dong.

There was silence in the room.

After a long while, there was a sound of footsteps slowly approaching this side.

The footsteps were very light, and it was obvious that the other party was deliberately trying to lower the volume.

But with Peter and Shadow Spider-Man's enhanced five senses, they can still distinguish them.

"Who? It's too late now. If you want an interview or something, come back tomorrow," Aunt Mei's voice rang out.

Peter coughed, took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Ah, Aunt May, it's me, I'm Peter. Although it's unbelievable, I am indeed Peter Parker. I can prove myself..." "Are you making fun of an old man like me?! My Peter is gone. Even if you imitate his voice, you are not my Peter..."

There was a hint of sadness in Aunt Mei's old voice, and a hint of anger in the sadness.

What on earth do these people want? Why do these guys jump out as soon as Peter leaves to provoke an old woman like me...

"Aunt Mei, your bacon rolls are really terrible..."

“I’ve stopped doing it a long time ago!”

"Aunt Mei, the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility..."

"Everyone knows this sentence now!"

"Mary Jane, say something and prove it!" Peter looked at Mary Jane who was watching the joke and asked for help.

"Aunt May, he really is Peter!"

"Great! You actually hired someone to pretend to be Mary Jane. You guys are really attentive. Even if your fake voice is very similar, it can't be my Peter! Go away! I won't accept any interviews!"

Aunt May's voice in the room made Peter silent, but Peter still did not give up.

"Aunt Mei, I can prove it. If you don't believe me, just look..."

Peter took off his hood, revealing his 17-year-old face. He tried hard to smile, but when he thought of what happened to Aunt May in this world, his smile was uglier than crying...

Bang!

Guluulu——

There was a sound of metal falling to the ground.

The door was flung open, and a baseball bat rolled out and landed on the next step. When it was about to fall again, Peter shot out a spider silk to catch the baseball bat...

But why does this baseball bat look so familiar? ! Isn't this the same one that Mary Jane used to chase me when I was in junior high school? !

Looking at the baseball bat in his hand, Peter turned his head to look at Mary Jane, who turned her head away awkwardly, then looked at the dark sky with no moon or stars, and said inexplicably: "The sun is so big tonight..."

"You are so cruel. You gave this thing to Aunt Mei for self-defense. I almost got hit by a stick..."

Peter gritted his teeth and said this, which was enough to show how much he hated this baseball bat...

At this time, the thin and old body hugged him and trembled, trembling: "Peter, it's my Peter..."

Peter's whole body stiffened at first, but soon, perhaps because he felt the warmth from this Aunt May, he gently hugged Aunt May back.

Aunt May in every world loves Peter Parker!

Similarly, Peter Parker in every world is deeply in love with Aunt May.

A group of people walked into the house and quietly closed the door to the backyard. Peter's eyes became red as he looked at the aging Aunt May in this world. Shadow Spider on the side also took off his mask and looked at Aunt May excitedly.

Aunt May touched another Peter Parker. This Peter Parker had a scar on his face, which was obviously caused by an injury in battle...

"Aunt May, I am your Peter! But I come from another universe, and so does the Peter next to me. It may sound strange, but I am not lying. You should understand that Peter will never deceive Aunt May..."

After helping Aunt May onto the sofa and feeling the familiar scenes around him, Peter finally relaxed a little.

"I know, you are the little Peter in high school, and he is the grown-up Peter. You must have suffered a lot. Being Spider-Man is bound to get hurt..."

Shadow Peter said nothing, and Peter gently hugged Aunt May and said, "Don't be sad, Aunt May, death is not the end, forgetting is. If someone remembers Spider-Man, then Peter Parker is not dead..."

Peter didn't know why he said this inexplicable sentence, as if he was out of control and his body was forcibly controlled by someone. However, this sentence was well said!
Death is not the end, oblivion is...
