Chapter 878: Starry Splendor (XX)
"Get out of there! Otherwise, we will open fire!
In front of a shop in New York, several police officers stood between police cars, pointing their guns at a man in a bakery. That was a white man in his forties or fifties, looking like a father picking up his daughter from school, with a pink small schoolbag that didn't match his age on his shoulder.
He kept waving his hands backward, telling his daughter who was picking bread inside not to come out. He raised his hands and said, "Officer, what's wrong? What happened? What crime did I commit?"
"Someone reported that you used mutant special abilities to endanger the safety of children in the community elementary school. Now put down what is in your hands, squat on the ground and don't move, we are going to search you!"
"Mutant special abilities?" The man revealed an inconceivable expression. He said, "My special ability is just being able to produce a little glue on my fingernails. What kind of harm can this cause?"
"Daddy, I've picked the bread, can we go now?" Behind him, the little girl wearing a dress wanted to walk over here. The man immediately pushed her behind him and said, "Eliza, wait, don't come out! I have something to say to them!"
"Officer, you must have made a mistake. I don't have any powerful mutant abilities at all, and it's impossible for me to cause any harm to any child. Today is the school's open day, so I went to my daughter's school to help her with handicrafts..."
"Shut up! Hands on your head, squat down! We received reports from other parents saying that you endangered the safety of other children. Come with us in the car!"
After finishing, several police officers pointed their guns and handcuffed the man. But at this time, another police car drove over. Police Chief George walked down from the car and said to those few officers, "Which police station are you from? Do you have an arrest warrant? Who is your superior?"
Although George was older, his many years of employment experience made his momentum undiminished, like a lion king whose prestige still remained. His eyes scanned the faces of several police officers. He said, "Without an arrest warrant, on what grounds are you arresting him?!"
"We received a report..."
"You can arrest someone directly just because you received a report? How did you learn your code of conduct? Release him immediately! Don't make me find your superior to talk!"
At this time, George heard the sound of shutters. Several reporters rushed out from the crowd and pointed their microphones at the few parties involved at the scene. The first one to be questioned by reporters was the man squatting on the ground.
"Hello, sir, are you a mutant? What do you think about the fact that you were reported? Did you get the consent of the school and other parents when you used dangerous mutant abilities in the community school?"
"But I didn't..." Before the man's words were finished, another reporter opened his mouth and said, "The police said you were reported by other parents. Have you considered the harm this caused to your daughter?"
"Eliza, you are called Eliza, right?" Another reporter rushed into the bakery and said to the little girl, "Why was your father reported by other parents?"
The little girl was holding the bread she had just chosen. She obviously hadn't seen this kind of formation. Judging from her dress and appearance, she was just a child from an ordinary working-class family and hadn't received elite education, so she completely didn't know how to answer the reporter's questions. She just said:
"Today is the school's open day. Our teacher asked parents and students to make a small handicraft together. Because my daddy can secrete glue on his fingernails, he has always been very good at handicrafts, so we both went to school together..."
"You mean, your father used his mutant ability to cheat at school, completing the handicraft in advance, so it led to other parents reporting your father?!"
"No, there wasn't. We just built a small house together, there was no cheating... What does that mean?"
"Hasn't your father explained his mutant ability to you? He has actually been hiding it from you?"
Police Chief George immediately walked in and said to the reporters, "All get out, don't surround here, you are disturbing the order of the block..."
"We are just conducting a report to reveal the truth now, this Chief, are you trying to stop reporters from supervising your law enforcement?"
"Of course I am not..."
Chief George wanted to defend himself, but the reporter's words had already spread out. The people watching on the side were whispering, some saying that this father was destroying the fairness of the school, and others saying that he might use his ability to poison the water...
The remaining few police officers pressed tighter and tighter. George had to deal with the reporters' interviews, which had to be airtight and couldn't let them grab any handle, and at the same time, he had to stop that group of police officers from taking the person away. Very quickly, he appeared somewhat unable to support himself alone.
That father defended himself for a long time, and finding that the police put their attention on his daughter, he immediately became somewhat anxious. He instinctively stood up, but in an instant, he was pressed to the ground by three police officers.
The overly rough action made him let out a scream. But George was surrounded by those few reporters and couldn't get over at all. Just when the man's head hit the ground, suddenly, a sound of chaos came from the street corner.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a black monster with sharp teeth and a wide mouth appear at the street corner.
He was pitch black all over, with only a white spider pattern on his chest. George, who had worked on the streets of New York for many years, immediately shouted his name, "Venom!
!"
George immediately raised his gun and fired, but Venom dodged flexibly, using the buildings on both sides to keep bouncing. And at this time, a strand of spider silk swung over. Spider-Man swept over from the top of his head and shouted, "Evil Venom!
Stop quickly!
I won't let you endanger the safety of New York!
!"
The police and reporters who were just prestigious screamed and dodged. Those few police officers seemed to have completely forgotten that they had weapons in their hands and subconsciously hid in the shop. George hurriedly hugged the little girl beside him and kept patting her back to comfort her.
But very unluckily, Venom happened to land at the entrance of the bakery. The man who fell to the ground looked at this huge monster and trembled with fear. However, Venom's attention was not on him, but was staring fixedly at Spider-Man, who had landed on the opposite side of the road.
He opened his big mouth again, let out a roar, tore up a utility pole beside him, and waved it. Spider-Man was not to be outdone, fired a strand of spider silk at a car beside him, and swung the car as a shield to resist the utility pole being waved over.
Just when the two were fighting until the sky was dark and the earth was dim, and fragments were flying, the police ran out from the back door of the bakery, shouting while running, "We need support!
We need support!
That group of reporters didn't know where they had run to. The onlookers originally didn't dare to get too close because the police were holding guns, and they scattered in a rush the moment Venom appeared. Now, on the entire street, only George, the father and daughter, and the fighting Venom and Spider-Man remained.
Seeing that the people on this street had almost all run away, and even the windows upstairs were tightly closed, Venom roared again, "Spider-Man, wait for me next time!
!"
After finishing, he turned his head and ran. Spider-Man was relentless, shouting while running, "Don't run! Venom! I won't let you go!"
The figures of the two disappeared into the New York skyline. George helped the man up, shook his head, and said, "Recently, two strange things have happened in New York. One is that the police and the military don't know why they have started targeting mutants, and that group of reporters followed closely behind, like a swarm of locusts."
"The second is that there are more and more strange monsters and Spider-Men. Just now, the pattern on that Spider-Man's suit, why does it seem a bit different from the one I saw this morning?"
And at this time, Venom, who was fleeing for his life, heard Peter's calm voice come from the communicator. He said:
"100 meters away at the intersection ahead, there are two fire drill vehicles. All the people inside are military. Their target is the shop owner of the clothing store on the commercial street. The reporters are hiding in the second and third alleys of this street respectively..."
"You enter from the southeast side, pay attention not to hit anyone when you land." Matt's voice also came from the earpiece. He continued, "Do you see the utility pole on the right side of that clothing store? That is your next weapon. By the way, it's afternoon now, the light is changing. You remember, you must stand in the sunlight the moment you land, otherwise others won't be able to see your sharp teeth and saliva."
"Don't be long-winded!" Venom said in a hoarse voice, "The one who needs technical guidance more is that stupid Spider-Man behind me. If I don't slow down, he's almost going to lose me!"
"No way, that's a novice." Peter's voice sounded again. He said, "In their universe, he has only been Spider-Man for a few days, and he can't even use the web-shooters properly..."
In the gap of speaking, Venom had already arrived at the target location. He leaped down from the roof again and let out an "ow" roar.
"Ahem!" Subsequently, he coughed twice on the spot. Eddie's voice sounded, "Are you okay? I heard your throat is hoarse..."
"Ahem... you roar more than 80 times in two days and see if it's the same! Ahem, I said I wanted to eat throat lozenges, but you wouldn't buy them for me, you coward... ahem ahem..."
"Are those throat lozenges? What you clearly wanted to buy was chocolate! That will make your throat hurt even more!"
"Less nonsense! Spider-Man, I am the evil Venom! I want to eat all the heads on this street! Ahem ahem... ahem..."
"Watch your teeth! Watch your teeth! Show your teeth!
"Shut up! I know!"
The thin spider silk radiated bright light under the sunlight. Following the light downward was another hand covered in a uniform.
Spider-Man swung up from between the high buildings, chasing the target in front of him. He shouted, "Doctor Octopus! Abandon your evil plan! I won't let you succeed!"
And the Doctor Octopus running in front had iconic eight mechanical tentacles behind him, which were waving in turns at this time.
The only thing that was a bit different was that he was wrapped up a bit too tightly. Even if the weather in New York was gradually turning cold, it definitely didn't reach the extent of wearing a windbreaker and boots, wearing a scarf and mask, and not missing a hat or mask. This style of dress, besides being able to roughly see that it was a humanoid creature, couldn't tell who it was at all.
Doctor Octopus swung up using his tentacles. Between landing with a roar, dust and smoke rose. He turned around, looked at Spider-Man, and said, "Spider-Man, you are destined to fail. I will destroy the entire New York!"
Hearing this sentence, Spider-Man was not very angry, but was stunned for a moment. He whispered, "A few minutes ago, did I hear this sentence?"
Seeing Doctor Octopus start running again, Spider-Man could only start chasing. A strand of spider silk stuck to one of Doctor Octopus's tentacles.
Spider-Man, who was clinging to the outer wall of the building, was a bit different from other Spider-Men. He didn't have web-shooters on his wrists. The spider silk was fired directly from his body.
He grabbed his spider silk and gave it a hard tug. Doctor Octopus stumbled and fell to the ground. One of the tentacles was tripped by a street lamp in the process of supporting, making a "clatter clatter" sound. Amidst the sparks, it hung down. Spider-Man heard a scream:
"Ah!" Spider-Man! You are destined to fail! I will destroy the entire New York!
Spider-Man let go of the spider silk and looked at the Doctor Octopus in front of him in confusion. And a flustered voice came from Doctor Octopus's earpiece:
"It's over! It's over! He seems to have discovered that this is a robot!
... Jarvis, hurry and control him to change his lines! What? The language system is stuck?! Then hurry and control him to run away, he's about to come over!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Activate the electric shock module! Drive him away first, Pikachu, don't press the controller randomly, we are about to be caught by him!
"Zzzzt zzzzt, the electric shock module is effective, run!
