Two shots to the body and one to the head; even gods couldn't save him. This is the standard way for secret agents to silence people. Shadow Spider-Man can be called Batman among Spider-Men, and more importantly, he doesn't have a no-kill principle, but is the kind of ruthless person who "if you want to kill me, I will kill you first." This shot was fired cleanly and neatly, without a trace of hesitation.

He put away his gun and walked over to check the corpse. The other party fell to the ground, and the bow in his hand was a handmade product, not the kind of modern compound bow, otherwise Peter wouldn't have been able to catch the arrow. But even so, this arrow shot at him would definitely be fatal if not dead. Therefore, facing the corpse on the ground, he didn't have any sympathy at all, squatted down, and started searching the corpse.

"My god!" Familo suddenly drilled out of the grass. He seemed very shocked by the current situation. He said: "You... you killed him! How could you..."

"He wanted to kill me first." Peter said coldly. "If I hadn't dodged the arrow, the one lying there would be me now. He is the murderer, and I am just stopping him from committing a crime."

"Then you shouldn't have directly..."

"There is no should or shouldn't, only can or can't." Peter acted very flatly and said, "He didn't kill me, so the one who died was him."

Familo seemed shocked by his attitude. Peter only found a hunting knife on this person, and nothing else. So he stood up and took two more sips of lake water; this bottle of water was almost finished by him. He walked down quickly and continued to fill the bottle with water.

He had already discovered that this water could not strengthen his strength, but it could restore his spider-sense ability. And the spider-sense ability is the ability he relies on most, which is very important to him. Having spider-sense is equivalent to having everything. He must recover as soon as possible.

Drinking another bottle of water, Peter felt it was almost enough. The spider-sense had started to become able to touch some doorways from the vague feeling before. He had had such an experience when he first became Spider-Man, so he adapted very quickly.

He walked back to the top of the waterfall and said to Familo: "Now you have two choices: go back to the small town to call the police, and then testify for me, saying that I was acting in self-defense. If you don't want to be so troublesome, help me bury him, and don't tell anyone about this."

Familo stood on the spot and stared at him, his face didn't change much, but his eyes were indescribably gloomy. Peter didn't care at all; he dragged the corpse into the woods, preparing to find a good place to bury the corpse.

Familo still followed, seemingly wanting to know where he was going to put the corpse. And what greeted him was the dark muzzle of a gun. Familo had to take two steps back and then turned and left.

Peter knew he couldn't just throw the corpse here. Regardless of whether the other party would call the police, this was a handle on him. Shadow Spider-Man has always been an outlaw wandering between the government, the police, and revolutionaries; he has too much relevant experience. He understands very well that rather than counting on others, it is better to clean up the traces as much as possible himself.

The humidity near the waterfall is really too high, burning the corpse must be useless. He still has to drink the water from the waterfall, and throwing the corpse down is not okay either. Now there are no tools, and the soil is not easy to dig; without anyone to help, burying the corpse is not very okay either. So now it is best to find a place where no one can find it and throw the corpse directly over.

Peter dragged the corpse to the bottom of the waterfall and then began to wander along the mountain. But soon, he discovered a small crack on the rock wall of the waterfall on the side of the waterfall. He immediately realized that there might be a cave there, and it was very hidden. Even if the locals knew, it would not be easy to pass, but he could try.

Peter was even more fierce; he didn't intend to climb at all, but intended to jump over directly. Although he has no superpowers now, his balance is not covered; it is much stronger than most gymnasts and acrobats in this world. And he is light in weight and flexible in body. After trying a few times, he actually jumped up.

Next is how to move the corpse in. It looks like a big project, but it is actually the simplest, because there is no need to move the corpse in at once.

Just when Peter was busy with the hunting knife, another figure followed the smell of blood and found this place, and when he saw what Peter was doing, he was somewhat shocked and stunned on the spot.

"Peter!" He shouted.

Peter turned his head vigilantly, and as a result, he saw a familiar face. He also shouted somewhat shocked: "Bruce?"

"It's me, why did you come here too?" Bruce walked out from behind the bushes. He glanced above his head, and Peter caught this look, knowing he was the real thing, because only players know the existence of the health bar. If it were a fake, it would be impossible to have this action.

"What are you doing?" Bruce asked.

"This guy wanted to kill me." Peter just said briefly and then continued his work. When he was tired from working in the middle, he took out water to drink a few sips. Bruce saw his action and said: "Is this mineral water from the store?"

"No, it's just lake water."

Bruce was stunned for a moment and then said: "Lake water? Why drink lake water?"

"I don't know why either, but this lake water seems to have some magical effects. This guy didn't kill me, just because I caught his arrow."

Bruce immediately realized that this was Peter not being able to say it clearly, but hinting to him. He might have recovered a part of his spider-sense ability, otherwise the reaction ability of a normal human is not enough to catch an arrow.

Can the water here restore superpowers? Not right, right?

"What happened after you came in? Can you tell me in detail?" Bruce asked.

Peter didn't hide it either, and while working, he said it intermittently. Bruce asked: "Do you mean you felt very empty when you first came in, and your mood was a bit depressed?"

"Yes. Actually, it's not that I felt like this only after entering here; I felt a bit like this after entering this dungeon. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been injured in a car accident." Peter mentioned it obscurely again.

Bruce didn't figure it out either, but he had a flash of inspiration, and then thought: what principle is spider-sense based on?

This is actually very complicated. Because it is similar to the ability of prophecy, it is likely caused by magical power; as far as he knows, Spider-Man's superpowers indeed come from magical power. But if you have to explain it from a biological point of view, this may be the result of vigorous secretion of excitatory neurotransmitters, leading to the brain working at overclocking.

As everyone knows, the human brain is not working at full capacity in most cases. Most of the time, it is "one core in trouble, eight cores watching," accurately speaking, it is deliberately like this to achieve an extremely powerful fuzzy algorithm effect.

And this kind of extreme reaction ability and perception of danger may be the result of the brain working at full capacity and overclocking, causing brain waves to break through physiological limits, turning into another kind of perception, an ability evolved.

And if you want the brain to work at overclocking, you need frequent stimulation. The specific principle is relatively complicated, but the simplest method is actually taking stimulants. Many people think that stimulants are only useful in sports, but in fact, stimulants can be widely used in various fields, including improving attention, memory ability, and learning efficiency, etc.

And the principle of spider-sense may be: some kind of magical reaction, with an efficiency that no human stimulant can reach, constantly stimulates Spider-Man's brain, allowing it to have brain wave frequencies that break through physiological limits, thereby achieving an effect similar to prophecy.

Bruce had long known that the air here was a problem, and the water was also a problem; anyway, everything that could enter his body was a problem. And this problem is that it may contain some kind of excitatory neurotransmitter, which is far beyond the effect of stimulants in the real world, and can make people quickly agitated, attention becomes very concentrated, learning efficiency is also very strong, and can perceive this world more clearly, and even feel that this world is controlled by oneself. This feeling is addictive.

This method is not as fast as drug addiction, but it will also make people produce psychological addiction, which is commonly known as "stimulant dependence." When taking stimulants, you feel like a peerless genius, everything goes smoothly, and you can understand everything you think about; then when you don't take stimulants, there will naturally be a gap. This is also a very tricky disease in the field of psychology; many genius scholars and athletes recognized by the public have similar symptoms.

And the various situations Peter described after entering the dungeon sound like stimulant dependence. This Battleworld system blocked people's superpowers, causing the amount of excitatory neurotransmitters to drop all at once. The spider totem originally gave 100, and after blocking it, it was less than 10; he could still act as usual, which belongs to strong willpower.

But unfortunately, the controller of this spiritual world, perhaps to brainwash the newcomers to better control them, is also using various methods to give people stimulants. Not to mention that there are stimulant substances in the air, the content in the water is also not low. And after Bruce's investigation during this period, the groundwater in this place has a problem, leading to stimulants in food and water sources. And the townspeople here also present an extreme state of agitation, looking very weird.

Even Bruce had to regulate the secretion of his own excitatory neurotransmitters to balance the agitation brought by breathing. But when it came to Peter, the excitatory neurotransmitters that were excessive for normal people were just right for him; and the lethal dose of neurotransmitters for normal people was about the normal level for Spider-Man.

So he drank water, juice, milk, and lake water, and drank for a long time here, successfully returning his agitation level to Spider-Man's normal value, and the spider-sense naturally returned with it.

However, this method can probably only be used by him, because people's daily state is this amount. If it were other people, they would probably have gone crazy before breaking through physiological limits.

This evil spirit really did a good deed with bad intentions; although he didn't restore super strength, and this spider-sense is not a complete version, at least it counts as having some superpowers, and perfectly bypassed the system restrictions.

The system indeed does not allow superpowers, and it is unlikely that there are any props in this dungeon that give them superpowers. But Peter's case doesn't belong to strengthening himself, but belongs to stepping on a trap, but this trap just happens to fit his brain. The system has nowhere to reason.

Bruce was thinking about whether he could use this method. But before thinking of a way, he thought of Schiller first. If he remembered correctly, Schiller also has some superpowers.

Then he stayed here, is it also to restore his superpowers?

Bruce had a premonition: now, it is not that they want to outrun the speed of the plot progression, but that the evil spirit wants to outrun the speed of their power recovery. And, there is not much time left for the evil spirit.
