Chapter 84: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 39

“A part of it, though just as I was about to watch, you and that lizard-man had already disappeared.”

Hawk said truthfully.

He saw the beginning and he saw the end, but he just didn’t see the process.

But it’s fine, he’ll be able to see it on the news tomorrow.

As everyone knows.

The reaction speed of the media in Niuyuecheng is extremely fast; less than three minutes after the Lizard Doctor appeared on the Williamsburg Bridge, he saw three media helicopters from different TV stations buzzing and circling above the Williamsburg Bridge.

Hearing Hawk’s words, Peter was slightly stunned, subconsciously looked around here, and then glanced in the direction of the Williamsburg Bridge, which was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Looking from here?

Peter looked at Hawk with some shock.

Hawk smiled and said: “My eyesight is quite good, but isn’t your eyesight just as good?”

Peter nodded subconsciously again.

Indeed.

If he focused his attention, he could also see the Williamsburg Bridge clearly from here.

Peter thought to himself, then his eyes lit up.

“Then did you see where the lizard-man ran off to?”

“No.”

“Alright.”

Hearing this, Peter sighed: “I didn’t expect it to be so strong; I was thrown off by it, and by the time I was ready to counterattack, it had already jumped into the river.”

Hawk asked curiously: “How do you feel about its strength?”

Peter glanced at Hawk, thought about it seriously, and then frowned: “It’s stronger than me, but not as fast as me, nor as agile, but it’s faster than me underwater.”

Understood.

A one-punch job.

He doesn’t even need to explode his Little Universe.

Listening to Peter’s assessment, Hawk thought to himself, nodded, and prepared to go back to sleep.

But...

Just at this moment.

Peter seemed to have thought of something and said to Hawk: “However, this lizard monster gave me a familiar feeling; I was just thinking about what that feeling was when I got thrown off by it.”

Hearing this, Hawk looked at Peter.

“Then have you figured out where this feeling comes from now?”

“Yeah.”

Peter nodded and then looked at Hawk.

Hawk didn’t speak, waiting for Peter’s next words, but seeing Peter looking at him after nodding, he was stunned for a moment, then realized.

“You mean me?”

“Yeah.”

“How is that possible.”

Hawk had a very absurd feeling.

How could the Lizard Doctor have his scent? He had only been to Dr. Connors’ laboratory once in total.

And even if it were a lingering scent from shaking hands back then, it had been more than two months; how could it still be lingering now?

He isn’t a goddess, and Dr. Connors isn’t a simp, nor would he be like those simps who refuse to wash their hands after shaking hands with their goddess.

Peter, however, looked at Hawk and said seriously: “Last time I had contact with you at the old gymnasium, so I have a very deep impression of your scent. But the scent of that lizard monster just now was very weak, weak to the point of being imperceptible, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken so long to remember it.”

Hawk looked at the adamant Peter and frowned.

“Are you sure?”

“It can’t be wrong.”

Peter nodded, then thought about it again: “The feeling that lizard monster gave me was as if it had had contact with you, and therefore retained your scent, just like how Gwen also retains your scent, but Gwen’s scent is also much stronger than that lizard monster’s.”

Described like this, Hawk’s expression dawned.

He was wondering what Peter wanted to say.

So it was just this.

Hawk laughed softly and looked at Peter: “Then I probably know who he is.”

Peter’s eyes lit up.

“Who?”

“Curtis Connors, from the Osborn Biological Industrial Regeneration Laboratory. Gwen went there yesterday, and Dr. Connors is also researching regeneration technology by studying lizards.”

If Peter had said the Lizard Doctor retained his information, he would have been completely confused.

But if Peter compared it with Gwen, he understood.

If his scent was one, then the scent Gwen carried from being with him was zero point five, and Gwen went to Osborn Biological Industrial again the day before yesterday morning and had contact with Dr. Connors.

So theoretically, the imperceptibly weak scent Peter smelled on Dr. Connors should have come from that.

Listening to Hawk reveal the true identity of the lizard monster, Peter opened his mouth wide in surprise.

“It’s him?”

“You know him too?”

“Yeah, I remember seeing him with my dad.”

“Alright.”

After figuring out what was going on with Dr. Connors’ lingering scent, Hawk was completely relieved.

He yawned.

“Alright, it’s too late, I’m going to sleep.”

“...Alright.”

Peter was still prepared to continue discussing the dangers of the lizard monster with Hawk, but seeing Hawk’s appearance, he could only give up.

“Goodnight, Hawk.”

“Goodnight, Spider-Spirit!”

“Uh, I’m not a Spider-Spirit.”

“Are you sure?”

Hawk, who had already turned around and walked halfway back, turned his head, tilted his head, and looked at Peter with a half-smile: “Come on, tell me loudly, where does your spider silk shoot out from.”

Peter opened his mouth, his expression becoming serious.

“Goodnight, Hawk.”

“Goodnight, Peter.”

Hawk didn’t tease Peter this time.

Soon.

Peter swung away on his webs.

After returning home, Hawk ate his fried chicken leg, took a cold shower, and then crawled into his bed to sleep.

Meanwhile.

Beneath the ground of Queens, in the sewers that crisscrossed and could even become the home of countless homeless people when the winter blizzards arrived.

As a beast-like roar came from the depths, gradually, the roaring sound became lower and lower.

Until the end.

The roaring sound disappeared.

Replaced by the groaning of a human!
