Chapter 707: U: The Infinity Event (Part 23)

~10 min read 1,806 words

After sending Zhang Parker back to the original timeline, in the laboratory, Peter continued to bury his head in reading the thesis.

At this time, the Amazing Spider-Man knocked on the door and walked in. Peter turned to look at him and asked: "You are back from S. H. I. E. L. D.? They finally agreed to let you go?"

The Amazing Spider-Man sighed, looking a bit haggard. Obviously, Nick's endless thirst for knowledge about the multiverse gave the Amazing Spider-Man a headache. He didn't know how many questions he had answered before he finally managed to get away. After returning to the laboratory, he moved a chair and sat down, lying on the experimental bench, and began to complain to Peter:

"Usually, I can only see the director of S. H. I. E. L. D. when the Avengers have a mission. I didn't expect that Nick Fury in your world would actually..."

The Amazing Spider-Man sighed and said: "He first asked me how to travel through the multiverse. I said it was by using spider-sense, which is the spider totem. He actually asked, is it too late for him to be bitten by a spider now?"

"I heard that all the Spider-Men in the entire multiverse are gathered together now. He wants me to invite all the Spider-Men over to have a talk and ask them if they can go to various universes to talk about business, and pull all those villains that their universes don't need over to work for him..."

"This is human trafficking, of course I can't agree. So, he talked to me for two hours about the necessity of humanity moving toward interstellar colonization and the harm of labor shortages during the colonization process. I still feel a bit dizzy now..."

"Mr. Stark never lets me stay alone with Director Nick. He said Director Nick would lead me astray." Peter also moved a chair and said while reading the thesis.

The Amazing Spider-Man reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "Indeed, I was almost moved by him."

Peter smiled and asked him: "What did he say?"

"He said, those villains placed in our universe will only endanger public security, and they will just eat for free if they are caught in prison. It's better to send them to you, and they can still shine and heat for humanity to enter the universe."

The Amazing Spider-Man propped one hand on the table, supported his head with his hand, and said: "Before, I really hadn't thought about this problem. If humanity really reaches the era of interstellar colonization, at least the housing prices and rents in New York should go down, right?"

"Spider-Man 2099 once told me about the situation in their universe, but as far as I know, they haven't started the era of interstellar colonization either, it's just that the technology on Earth is relatively developed. Now it seems that your universe is developing even faster than them." The Amazing Spider-Man said with some emotion.

"I also felt before that as long as I catch a criminal, I can help a person. This is indeed correct, but my friends and elders always tell me that if I spend the same time in the laboratory, I can save the whole world." Peter turned a page of the thesis material.

The Amazing Spider-Man glanced at the content on it. The profound and obscure theories made even him, a researcher who had been working for several years, feel a bit dazzled. Then he turned to look at Peter's very young face and said involuntarily: "Perhaps, they are right..."

"For you, everything is not too late. You can choose to be Peter Parker, not Spider-Man." The Amazing Spider-Man turned his head back, while Peter turned to look at him and said: "You are the same, why don't you try to be Peter Parker while being Spider-Man?"

The Amazing Spider-Man smiled and said: "You can always be Peter Parker because those things that Spider-Man should have done are done by someone else for you. Your teachers, elders, and friends, they spent more time and energy, allowing you to stay in the laboratory with peace of mind."

"I work at the institute because I need to earn money. I have to pay rent and save Aunt May's pension."

"Someone advised me that if I used the time spent fighting crime to work, maybe I would have moved into a new house long ago, but I don't want to do that."

"If I have always appeared in New York, then when everyone encounters danger, they will have hope. No matter whether I can save them or not, they will always look forward to the appearance of Spider-Man, feeling that there is still someone in this world trying to save them."

"I know, perhaps, improving medical technology and inventing more convenient equipment might change the world better, but the existence of Spider-Man is just to give those who are unable to change their living conditions and may face danger at any time a hope of reaching tomorrow."

"I know, if I focus on scientific research, perhaps I will rise step by step, maybe I can also win some awards, and when I am famous and wealthy, I can also benefit the world, but..." The Amazing Spider-Man looked at Peter and said:

"If you walk through the streets with the worst public security in Queens after dark, you will understand that compared to a scientist, you would rather see a figure swinging in mid-air. That can let you know that the road home tonight is safe. This is the reason why I will do this."

"Some people are trying to make the sun never set, but Spider-Man just wants you to survive the last night without the sun." The deep voice of the Amazing Spider-Man echoed in the room, gentler than the moonlight.

"Do you think, what should I do?" Peter looked at the Amazing Spider-Man and asked: "Continue to be Peter Parker, or go to be Spider-Man?"

"You can choose both, Peter, you still have infinite possibilities." The Amazing Spider-Man looked into his eyes and said.

"Yes, thanks to the efforts of my friends, I now have more room for choice, instead of worrying about making a living every day." Peter shook his head and said.

Suddenly, he paused, then put down the thesis in his hand. He stood up, covered his forehead and said: "My God... what am I doing? I came here to..."

"I'm going to find Dr. Schiller, I have to confirm whether he is really still alive!" After saying that, Peter was about to go out. He said while running: "Being pulled over by Dr. Otto to do experiments, I almost forgot the proper business!"

"Where are you going?" The Amazing Spider-Man chased him and asked.

"To find Pikachu! He must know where Dr. Schiller went!" Peter said while running out. The Amazing Spider-Man caught up with him and asked: "Pikachu? What is that again? Where are you going to find him?"

Peter looked down at the time on his watch and said: "At this time, he will only stay in one place..."

Half an hour later, in an arcade in Hell's Kitchen, Peter grabbed Pikachu's tail and dragged him from in front of the machine. Pikachu waved his short arms and shouted: "Let me down quickly! I put in two coins!"

"Where is Dr. Schiller?" Peter asked.

"He... went on vacation." Pikachu shouted.

Peter narrowed his eyes. He found that Pikachu and Strange's caliber were very consistent. If you ask, it's going on vacation.

Peter knew that Schiller often went on vacation, and he would go for a month or two, which was not strange. But before, when he was in Stark's laboratory, he clearly heard Strange coming to find Schiller for something.

Later, when Peter asked Strange about Schiller's whereabouts, Strange said Schiller went on vacation. If Schiller really went on vacation, how could Strange go to Stark's laboratory to find him? This was obviously inconsistent.

They must have something to hide from him.

Peter thought this way, grabbed Pikachu's two short arms, then rubbed his cheeks and said: "Don't joke, I really have proper business to find him!"

"This... you probably have to go find that Sorcerer Supreme." Pikachu looked left and right, anyway, he just wouldn't say where Schiller was. Peter asked for a long time but didn't ask it out.

Peter sighed and finally called Strange. Listening to the background sound, Strange should not be in the Sanctum Sanctorum, but in Kamar-Taj.

After stating his intention, Strange also sighed and said: "Okay, you stay there, I'll come pick you up."

"Pick me up? Where are we going?" Peter asked.

"Kamar-Taj."

Soon, a portal appeared above Peter's head. Strange grabbed Peter's arm directly and walked into the portal.

Just arriving at Kamar-Taj, Peter was still a bit confused. He said: "How could Dr. Schiller be in Kamar-Taj? Is he learning magic?"

"No, he is teaching magic."

After saying that, Strange pulled Peter, walked through the main hall of Kamar-Taj, kept walking backward, bypassed a hillside, and walked into a building embedded in the mountain.

Walking through a somewhat dim corridor and coming to a room, Strange reached out and knocked on the door. After pushing the door open, Peter saw a familiar face—that was Schiller.

However, Schiller's attire was a bit strange. He was wearing a black robe with dark green and silver patterns on the collar and cuffs. The most eye-catching thing was that he was wearing a badge on his chest. In the center of the silver shield-shaped badge was a green background and a silver... snake?

Peter felt this image was a bit familiar. Suddenly, he widened his eyes, took a deep breath and said in shock: "Professor Schiller?? How could you be here??!"

"

"We meet again, Peter, come here, have you learned how to skillfully handle slugs?"

Peter stared straight at him, then placed his gaze on his hand.

At this time, Schiller was holding a small wooden stick in his hand, or in the dream Peter had participated in, this thing was called—a wand.

Just when Peter was immersed in shock, a sound of footsteps sounded in the corridor, and another figure walked into the room and said to Strange: "Stephen, how did you handle this order?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Peter turned his head stiffly. The figure who walked in was wearing a white shirt and holding a contract in his hand, and the face was also very familiar. That was also Schiller.

Peter turned his head quickly, looked at Schiller holding the wand, then turned his head again, looked at Schiller holding the contract, and then turned his head...

Echoing over Mount Ximalaya was Peter's scream full of horror:

"How can there be two Dr. Schillers???!
