Chapter 123

In Peter's room at the Parker house, Peter grabbed the door frame tightly and said, "Let me go! This is my body! I can do whatever I want with it! I want to go out and go on a date with Gwen..."

Then he looked up at the watch and said, "Please! It's 10 o'clock now, and we have to meet by the river at 10:30. It's almost too late now. I can't break the appointment. She encountered such a big danger yesterday; she must really need someone's comfort..."

"But you haven't even finished writing a decent combat plan!! You've been dawdling here for three hours!! You only wrote one-third!! You must finish writing it before you can go play!!"

"Are you crazy?! Even the teachers at school wouldn't require anyone to write homework for three hours!! I'm going out now! Let me go!"

Peter's arm relaxed and tightened, as if he were playing tug-of-war with himself. Finally, Venom roared: "You're 16 years old! Two more years and you'll be 18! The 18-year-old humans I've seen are much more hardworking and self-disciplined than you!"

"You're lying! My seniors are clearly the same as me. We are the normal ones! Where in this world would there be any high school student who stays in the room and writes homework?? Let me go out! I'm really going to be late!"

20 minutes later, Peter landed on a roof. He warned Venom in his mind: "Later when I'm on a date with Gwen, you are not allowed to peek."

"Have you even held her hand?" Venom said.

"How is that possible? Of course we've held hands..."

"Only held hands, right?"

Peter's face was a bit red. He said, "So what? We've only been in a relationship for a few months, and we haven't even been on more than 100 dates..."

After a while, at a coffee shop by the river, Gwen had already ordered two cups of coffee. Seeing Peter, she was very happy. Peter also ran over excitedly. He said, "Sorry, I'm a bit late today. On the way... there was a bit of a traffic jam."

"It doesn't matter, I came too early. I've already ordered coffee. Let's go sit over there."

Peter had just taken the coffee cup when he felt his body suddenly out of control, then opened his arms and hugged Gwen. Gwen was startled. Peter bared his teeth and let go, then said, "Oh, sorry! I... I just..."

Then he saw tears flickering in Gwen's eyes. Gwen said, "Did you see the newspaper? Did you see what happened on the street next to the school yesterday?"

Peter was at the scene at the time, so of course he knew, and then he said, "Ah... yes, I saw you seemed to be there too..."

Before Peter could continue saying anything, Gwen said with red eyes, "You don't know how dangerous it was yesterday. I watched a young police officer sacrifice his life with my own eyes. My God, I simply can't accept it..."

"Hug her."

"You're too much. How can you control me..."

"Listen to me, hug her."

Peter felt his body out of control again. He hugged Gwen tightly. Gwen also hugged him and started crying. After a while, she was crying and trembling all over. Peter had to stroke her back.

After a long while, Gwen calmed down. She wiped her tears with a napkin and said, "I'm really sorry, I didn't control myself, but..."

She choked up again and said, "My father's pressure is already very high. I don't even dare to show fear, afraid that he will worry about me. If he gets distracted at work, then the one who sacrifices might be him..."

Looking at Gwen's sad and worried face, Peter also felt very uncomfortable. He almost couldn't speak. As a result, his arm was lifted out of control again, and then he held Gwen's hand that was holding the coffee cup. Venom said in Peter's brain: "Don't you plan to say something?"

"What should I say? I... this, this is too abrupt..."

"You really are the most cowardly human I've ever seen."

Finally, Peter gathered his courage, looked into Gwen's eyes, and said, "Don't worry, actually I have always been with you..."

After speaking, he quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded, and then picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of coffee.

Gwen looked at his slightly red face and suddenly burst into laughter. She said, "You're really a bit different today."

Peter complained in his heart: "It's all because of you. Gwen must think I'm very unreasonable."

Then he heard Gwen say, "But I think it's actually not bad. You were a bit too introverted before. I really didn't expect you to be so proactive..."

Peter's face was even redder. He said somewhat hesitantly, "No... nothing, this is as it should be..."

"You're really hopeless." Venom's voice sounded in his heart again.

Gwen giggled, almost choked by the coffee. She seemed to love watching Peter's shy and embarrassed look.

"Let's go watch a movie later, just go to the cinema we often go to. I have a coupon for a large bucket of cheese balls; we can just use it."

After the two left the coffee shop, Peter said to Gwen, "Sorry, wait for me, I'll go to the convenience store."

He ran into the nearest convenience store, came to the shelf, picked up a bag of chocolate balls, and checked out.

Gwen saw him walk out at the store entrance, and then she looked at the bag of chocolate balls in Peter's hand and said, "Why did you suddenly buy this? I don't remember you liking chocolate?"

Tomato Novel

Peter tore open the packaging, took one out, handed it to Gwen, shrugged, and said, "I just think eating sweets will make my mood better."

Gwen was very happy. She held Peter's shoulder with her hand and said, "It seems you have really changed a lot. In the past, my friends always said you wouldn't know how to please girls at all, but now it seems you're not bad."

Peter blushed again, and then he also took one out, peeled off the packaging, and sent it into his mouth.

"Oh, shit, why is this so hard to eat?" Venom's voice sounded.

"Then why did you let me buy it?"

Peter chewed and said, "I think it's pretty good. Doesn't chocolate all taste like this?"

"You kid who hasn't seen the world, this kind of chocolate is really unexpectedly hard to eat. Sure enough, cheap things won't have good goods," Venom said.

When they arrived at the cinema, Peter took a cheese ball bucket that was almost half his height from the salesperson. Gwen said somewhat apologetically, "I didn't expect it to be so big when I bought it. It didn't look like this much in the picture..."

Peter held the big bucket somewhat laboriously and said, "It doesn't matter. You know, my appetite has increased a lot before. I think we should be able to finish it."

When the movie started, the two sat in a middle-back row seat. Peter wedged the big bucket of cheese balls between the armrest and the front seat back, just in the middle of the two, within reach.

After the movie started, the two ate cheese balls and drank cola while discussing the movie plot in a low voice.

Gwen just reached out to get a cheese ball when she saw a black tentacle quickly roll away seven or eight cheese balls from the bucket. She rubbed her eyes and exclaimed, "What is that???"

"What?" Peter turned his head to look at her. When Gwen looked over again, the tentacle had disappeared. Because there were too many cheese balls, it was impossible to tell that a few were missing. Gwen blinked and said, "Nothing, maybe I had a hallucination."

Then Peter heard Venom complaining in his brain: "This is not delicious either. It has a low-quality taste of puffed food."

"Why are you so troublesome?" Peter said: "Isn't this pretty delicious?" Saying that, he grabbed five or six cheese balls and threw them into his mouth.

When the movie ended, Gwen looked at the empty big bucket and opened her mouth, saying, "I know you've become able to eat a lot before, but it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right? This is a 10-person portion of cheese balls!"

In Peter's heart, Venom burped and said, "Although it's not very delicious, it's quite filling."

After sending Gwen home, seeing that Peter still planned to wander outside, Venom said, "Can you go back and finish that damn combat plan?"

"God! Spare me! I don't need any combat plan!" Peter squatted on a roof, took out the spider suit from his schoolbag and put it on, then said, "We'll just wear this, and then go and kill that stronghold. It's that simple."

"You'll be beaten very miserably," Venom said.

Half an hour later, Peter was running around in a small alley, holding his head. A group of black mist wrapped him again, making his movements slow. Immediately after, a pair of sharp claws slashed toward his back. A group of black mucus blocked the attack. Peter turned back and punched, and the other party directly teleported and disappeared.

Before he could turn around, another vampire teleported in front of him and slashed at him. Peter lowered his head to dodge, but another bat had already pounced down.

"Damn it, I've been tricked. They've been waiting for me here." Peter looked around. At least four or five high-level vampires surrounded him.

This kind of opponent just restrains Peter. Although Peter has great strength and Spider-Sense, he has no good way to counter magic.

Although the fist has great strength, it's useless if it doesn't hit anyone. Although the speed is fast, he doesn't have wings. Once the other party turns into a bat and flies high, he can't catch up for a while.

Conversely, this group of vampires can harass him in turns. One is responsible for the main attack, and the others interfere from the side. Peter was severely slowed down by them.

"Listen, if you can't solve this trouble within 10 minutes, I'm going to take action," Venom said.

"Take action? Can you fight too? Then why can't you now? Can't you..." Peter rolled on the ground again to dodge an attack and shouted loudly: "... come and help me now?!"

"This is the consequence of you not making a combat plan!!! Also, do you think I don't want to? Do you know how much noise I will make?"

Just as he was speaking, those few high-level vampires didn't seem to intend to harass him like this anymore. They forced Peter into a dead end and launched an attack on him from all directions. Soon, Peter's suit was slashed with several marks. If he gets hit a few more times, I'm afraid it will break.

Venom said: "Fine, now, empty your brain, I'm going to do it..."

At this moment, a burst of gunfire came. One of the high-level vampires let out a scream, and a few wisps of black smoke rose from his body. A black man wearing a leather jacket and an eye patch climbed over the wall of the small alley.

He slashed a knife on the shoulder of another vampire. Black smoke rose from the part where the blade touched his flesh. That vampire wanted to turn into a bat to escape, but another knife cut off his wings directly. He fell to the ground and fluttered twice, and a silver wedge was nailed into his heart.

The person who took action was Blade, a half-vampire and also a vampire hunter. He had been tracking this batch of high-level vampires for several months. Today they gathered together, just in time to catch them all in one net.

Blade's prediction was not wrong. After a few rounds, he beat these vampires to death and injury. But he was busy fighting the vampires and didn't notice the person surrounded by the vampires. When he came back to his senses, he saw black mucus erupting in the crowd, and a figure soared into the sky.

In the massive amount of black mucus, a huge monster with wings on its back appeared in mid-air, and a bat logo appeared on its chest.

Blade looked up. He saw a huge black bat with a wingspan of more than ten meters, almost covering the sky and the sun, appearing over New York.
