Chapter 28: Practice more if you are new (investment, monthly ticket, walk around)
"Honestly... this is a very strange feeling..."
A cemetery in Brooklyn.
Peter stood in front of a tomb, and his calm heart was filled with waves.
This is a very new grave. The surrounding soil is still fresh, unlike the surrounding graves which are covered with weeds. There is also a tombstone erected on this grave, and the name engraved on the tombstone is Peter Benjamin Parker!
This is his full name! There is also a black and white photo on the tombstone. The person in the photo is obviously a mature version of himself, and he is smiling brightly, as if he is always so optimistic.
Well, in fact, it is true. Ultimate Spider-Man has always been optimistic and infects everyone with this optimistic positivity and attitude, which is an ability that Peter does not possess.
"Peter, being Spider-Man must be tiring, swinging around every day and dealing with so many emergencies..."
Placing a bouquet of flowers on the tombstone of this world's Ultimate Spider-Man, Gwen stood with Peter and looked at him in silence and asked.
"It's not that bad actually. If the New York police weren't chasing me, it would be relatively easy. Also, my way of handling things might be different from Peter in this world, so I'm not very tired..."
Peter could clearly feel the weak spider sense around him. This feeling was very strange, as if they were from the same source, but it was so weak that it was almost dissipated...
I guess this is the last bit of strength left in Ultimate Spider-Man's body...
It turns out that the energy of mutants' bodies will not disappear easily after they die. Yes, they are all genetic mutants. As long as the activity of their body cells does not disappear, their abilities will not disappear in a short time...
"Peter saved many people, but he didn't save himself in the end..."
"He's so tired, shouldn't he take a rest?!"
"Yeah, he's been Spider-Man for more than ten years. Who knows if this is the life he wants?!"
Gwen was distracted as she looked at the photo of the smiling adult Peter on the tombstone.
"Maybe I know?! At first I thought this kind of life was not bad, and I still think so now. But when I saw him lying in the grave, I could feel that he was very tired. You know, Spider-Man has a weak sense, and I can sense it!"
"Are you tired, Peter? Promise me to be a little selfish, okay?! Then you won't be like him..." Gwen looked at Peter seriously and said.
"Actually... I have always been an extremely selfish person. I am different from him..."
"Yeah, you're the only one who can do this, robbing a little gangster!"
"Hey, Gwen, forget about it! Otherwise I might take revenge on you. I'm a petty person!"
"How to retaliate?! You won't forget that I'm a police officer?!" Gwen raised her eyebrows and puffed out her proud chest, and deliberately revealed her epaulettes. She seemed very proud at the moment.
"Okay! You want to know huh?! That's it!"
Without saying a word, Peter reached out and flicked the other person's smooth forehead.
"Shh! It hurts! You're such a bastard!"
Gwen, feeling pained, glared at the man in a suit and tie in front of her with resentment. He looked serious but did nothing.
This Peter gave her a very different feeling.
Because the other person is completely different from the timid, shy and introverted otaku in my impression.
It's also different from the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, who brings a sense of warmth and hope.
As far as she knew, Spider-Man would not rob a gangster casually. According to Peter's behavior in this universe, Spider-Man should only teach the gangster a lesson and then hand him over to the police...
However, this Peter Parker who claimed to be from the multiverse was quite unkind. I heard that he robbed with a scalpel and got 48 US dollars! It's true that even the smallest mosquito is meat, and it's not too little...
But at the same time, Gwen became very curious about Peter in front of her.
What on earth happened to Peter that made him become like this?
How did he become Spider-Man?
What is his universe like?
Gwen was very curious about all of this. She had been a top student since she was young and loved studying science, not to mention the concept of the multiverse!
"Okay! There's nothing fun in looking at my own grave. I'd better solve the problem here as soon as possible and return to my world. If I disappear for too long, Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben will probably skin me alive..."
With his hands behind his head, Peter took one last look at "his" grave and turned away.
"Hey, in your world, Uncle Ben didn't die?!"
Gwen asked as she caught up.
"Well, I stopped the criminal from robbing and killed him with my own hands. If I hadn't killed him, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life..."
Peter smiled.
"Peter's uncle in this world passed away when he was in high school. I went to attend Uncle Peter's funeral at that time."
Gwen looked a little sad.
Therefore, the development line of the multiverse will not be exactly the same. Peter's uncle in this world is dead, but the uncle of Peter in front of him is still alive. It seems that there are countless possibilities in the multiverse. "This is where he and I are different. The same thing makes different choices, and the trajectory is also different... Oh, crazy multiverse~"
Peter couldn't help but sigh.
"You're still in high school, right?!"
"Yes, there is still half a year before I go to college."
"Then you and Mary Jane..."
Gwen was a little nervous because the Peter in this universe also dated Mary Jane for a while in high school, but they later broke up. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation when she was in college...
Yes, she liked Peter very much, and she herself didn't even know when she started to like him.
"That's my good friend Harry's girlfriend. I'm not interested in that violent woman at all..."
"My childhood sweetheart is Gwen Stacy. We have a very good relationship, but we haven't taken that step yet."
At the mention of Gwen, Peter's expression softened, and the beautiful image of that lively girl emerged in his mind...
"Gwen Stacy..."
"Isn't that me?!"
Gwen's mind suddenly became excited again, and she looked at Peter with a faint smile on her lips.
"You like that me?!"
"But you two look quite different, but your personalities are similar..."
Peter nodded without denying.
"Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious. What does that me look like?!"
Peter didn't say anything, but took out his cell phone and turned on the power button. A screen saver with a photo of Peter and Gwen from Universe 65 lit up.
In the photo, the lively and bright Gwen pinched Peter's cheek and smiled brightly, while Peter also showed a funny expression.
"Indeed, she doesn't look like me, but she is so beautiful..."
Looking at the man and woman in the screensaver, Gwen even felt a little envious of herself in that parallel world.
"Hey, I've never seen anyone brag about himself like this before. Where's your dignity and integrity?!"
"No, it's not worth the money!"
“Well, this is quite similar!”
"Where are you going?!"
"I don't know. I just had a falling out with some guys. It's not appropriate to go back. My ID card is not valid in this world yet. I will probably have to show it on the street..."
Peter shook his head and continued, "Why, kind Officer Gwen wants to take me in?!"
"Of course! I can also let you taste my cooking skills..."
"You?! I remember that you could even fry steak with one side raw and the other mushy..."
I remember that Gwen in my universe once fried steak for herself on a whim, and then she went to the hospital...
Peter swore that he would never eat Gwen's food again...
Since they are the same person in a parallel universe, their skills are probably not much better...
"That was in the past, okay?!"
Gwen blushed, feeling a little embarrassed. When she first entered college, she also cooked a Western meal for Peter in this world, but the Ultimate Spider-Man with a mutant physique almost ended up in the ICU...
This is enough to show how strong Gwen's cooking ability is...
"Just practice more cooking!"
"Do you want to die!!!"
The two of them left while playing around. Less than a minute later, a boy in a simple spider suit was running around in the cemetery, dragging a homeless man in a beige windbreaker...
The reason was simple, because he was being chased by a group of policemen...
The homeless man he was dragging bumped into Peter Parker's tombstone when he woke up, his nose bled all over the floor, and he fainted again...
