Chapter 4244

The evil spirit was leaning against the wall panting. Clearly, using powerful power far beyond ordinary people was not without a price; he needed to consume the power of his soul. But fortunately, he had solved that most troublesome reporter; as long as he couldn't run out, he wouldn't be discovered.

He looked down at his left half of his body. He and the power of the curse grew and waned: when he consumed his soul energy, the power of the curse could go a step further. The evil spirit's control over this body was getting weaker and weaker.

And the good news was that the curse in this body seemed to be incompatible with the sharp spike that the guy who attacked him had stabbed in before. These black magic spells were all incompatible and would compete with each other.

In other words, as long as he waited for another period of time, until the curse on his left arm spread to his chest, the evil magic artifact awl with the curse might fail. By that time, he could change his body.

He wanted that big guy's body, which should make his power stronger. But now he still had one thing to do, and that was to replenish his soul energy to prevent the curse on his left arm from killing himself before killing the awl.

That's right, it wasn't that the evil spirit didn't want to guard the corpse, but that after using that move, he was already weaker than the much-strengthened curse on his left arm. If he didn't find a way to strengthen himself, he would be swallowed.

The method to replenish soul energy was also very simple, which was killing people. And this person didn't necessarily have to be a living person; those people in the spirit world would also work. And since he had already summoned them to the real world before, even if the evil spirit couldn't go back now, he could go find those mummified corpses, kill them again, and still be able to draw a certain amount of power.

The evil spirit manipulated the body to look for the mummified corpses scattered in the town. Just as he was swaying out of this street, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar doll, and this doll was walking on the street.

The evil spirit was stunned: Isn't this the possession doll I made? He is here, so who is controlling the doll?!

But the moment he looked at the doll, the doll seemed to instinctively feel something, turned its head to stare at him fiercely, and then ran away.

Could the evil spirit let him run? He considered himself to know that these few outsiders who came this time were one more difficult to deal with than the other. Now the one controlling the doll must be one of them; if he didn't take him down, he wouldn't have a doll anymore!

Moreover, he also needed a backup plan: in case that big guy was also a goods that looked good but was useless, he couldn't hang himself on this one tree. After using it, the doll was still the best to use.

He rushed over. But this doll ran faster than usual, and its figure was quite flexible. With the help of a sign at the entrance of a store, it jumped onto the roof in two or three steps, and then started jumping back and forth between signs.

The evil spirit was stunned: Even acrobats wouldn't have this kind of balance, right? And he knew himself that although this doll was small and inconspicuous, and looked easy to control, there was an essential difference from controlling a human body; it wasn't something that anyone could use just by drilling into it.

What was even more outrageous was that this doll didn't know where it got a grappling hook, and it played it so smoothly. Where it couldn't go up, it just grabbed something with the grappling hook and swung over. The evil spirit chased for an entire street, and couldn't catch up at all.

Falling on a roof, Peter put his hands on his hips, looked back at the panting evil spirit and shook his head: Why say that reading more books is not bad? The evil consequences of opposing modern education are reflected, right?

The first thing Peter did after returning to the real world by controlling the doll was to get himself a low-profile version of a web-shooter.

Actually, it wasn't a web-shooter, but a grappling hook that could be ejected and grab some things.

If it were to carry an adult male, then this grappling hook would have quite a bit of technical content: the shape of the hook had to be repeatedly adjusted, the rope had to be strong enough, and the design of the ejection mechanism wasn't that simple either.

But now Peter was controlling a wooden doll, and the whole body together didn't weigh two pounds. To pull this little thing up, it was too simple. And it had to be said, the small doll made by the evil spirit was quite strong, and it wouldn't fall apart even after falling from several meters high. Then what else to say? I have swung back and forth hundreds of times in New York, and you can't swing in Great Canyon Town?

After getting rid of the evil spirit's pursuit, Peter's first thing was to steal the house. Aunt Kane's broken house absolutely still had some secrets that hadn't been dug out. For example, where did that old Burger study black magic? He must have a base, right?

Although the clues found by everyone before showed a place like an air-raid shelter, which was visually in the mountain of the waterfall, that place was a bit far, so Peter still planned to search the house first.

This doll also had the advantages of being small. Even if Linda still lived in the house, Peter could enter generously. When Linda came out for activities, he would find a corner to hide, and this girl hadn't received professional training and didn't feel anything wrong at all.

Just like this, Peter sneaked into the tool room again. After the perspective became shorter, he could see more things. He keenly discovered that a brick under that black box seemed to be loose.

He didn't have enough strength to move the box now, but he could drill in from between a pile of tools and come to the bottom of the box.

This box had been around for some years, and it didn't use any very precise assembly method; it was just nailing a few wooden boards together. Peter directly used the lever principle to pry all the nails off, and then the box collapsed. The movement made successfully attracted Linda over.

Linda looked: the wooden board on the side of the box fell off, the tools were scattered all over the floor, and she could only clean them up. And this box was completely broken and couldn't be used, so she simply moved the box to another corner and picked up all the tools to the table.

After cleaning up, she left. Peter also successfully returned to the place where the box was originally, and carefully checked the bricks here. He discovered that the bricks here were indeed newer than other places, but they also looked like they hadn't been used for a long time.

Digging was definitely not possible, and even if he could dig it open, he couldn't move the bricks. Peter thought: If he were old Burger, he wouldn't just prepare one entrance for his secret room, and wouldn't even be two, at least he had to prepare three.

Shadow Spider-Man was born and lived in an earlier era, so he could better understand the atmosphere of the earlier years. Although the witch-hunting movement was earlier, in many remote countryside in the last century, that is, the 1990s, similar things like hunting so-called "black wizards" still happened.

Although old Burger was the leader of the sect, he shouldn't dare to do these things openly, and wouldn't dare to let others know. And the best way was "cunning rabbits have three burrows," to avoid being blocked at home one day.

These three entrances should be placed in different places, and the difficulty of entering the door needed to be different, otherwise if you were chased and couldn't open the door or run in, it would be a laughingstock.

The entrance inside the tool room should be the most rigorous, because this was old Burger's own home, he had plenty of time to open the door slowly, and then close the door slowly, this door was not easy to open from the inside or outside.

The entrance outside the town, that is, the air-raid shelter side, should be most convenient to open from the inside, because if you were fleeing from the base, you would definitely run from the town to the outside, so the exit that would most likely be used was the exit outside the town. So the door there should be easiest to open from the inside to the outside.

Then the remaining entrance should be between these two doors, that is, in other houses in the town. This entrance would be simpler to enter from the outside to the inside, because this way you could quickly go to the other two entrances, acting as a transit station.

Peter immediately thought of the burned warehouse. That place sealed some things used by the circus, and generally no one would go there, and old Burger appearing there as a circus actor wouldn't arouse suspicion. And the location of that warehouse happened to be between Aunt Kane's house and the waterfall, and the three points could be connected into a line.

This is very important, because even if it's an evil spirit, digging a tunnel should be quite laborious. If you can't walk in a straight line, it's too troublesome to dig. Even if this evil spirit can live forever, constantly possessing different people and constantly digging, for so many years, it is estimated that only this one line has been dug through.

Say it again, this is the evil consequence of opposing modern education. If he had gone to school for a few days, he wouldn't have used this stupid method.

Thinking of this, Peter rushed to the warehouse. The warehouse had completely collapsed, but fortunately it was burned quite cleanly, and Peter didn't need to move anything else. He turned around here and found a manhole cover.

Although this was a manhole cover, it was also included in the building, which was actually a bit strange. And the holes on this manhole cover had very obvious wear traces, which were definitely not left by activities like regular maintenance, but that there had been a period of time when someone frequently pried this manhole cover, so these traces would be left.

So, Peter found a tree branch again, used the lever principle, and pried the manhole cover open. After he went down, he found that he still overestimated this evil spirit. Say it again, people really have to read more books. This underground passage dug out by the evil spirit had completely collapsed.

Peter hadn't been in this town for long, and after seeing the waterfall, he had already been able to infer: Great Canyon Town's groundwater system was very rich, the entire town was built on water veins, and the underground situation would be very complex. Even if this were a big city, the subway might not be able to be built. And this evil spirit actually wanted to hide his base through underground transportation.

Peter checked around here, and sure enough found a few corpses. It seems that this evil spirit used his infinite possession ability to dig here: no waterproofing, no support. This could be dug through by him. Sure enough, superpowers are still too powerful.

However, it stopped here. This underground passage was connected, but frequent collapses and water leaks occurred. By the time Peter came down to see it, the passage had turned into an underground river.

Although the evil spirit didn't need to breathe, this place couldn't drown him, but the collapse caused by the water leak also made him unable to use an adult's body to shuttle through at all. Otherwise, when he got the agent's body, he would have walked here at the first time; he didn't walk because he couldn't walk.

But this was nothing to Peter, because it wasn't completely blocked here, still leaving some gaps, enough for his small wooden doll to pass through, and he didn't need to breathe, not only could he swim slowly, but he could also make small flippers for himself with wooden boards, and swim faster.

Peter calculated the direction in his heart, swam toward Aunt Kane's house, and soon felt the flow of water, which proved that there should be an air chamber above. He swam to the water surface and took a look, discovering that he had appeared in a basement full of water.
