Chapter 887: Starry Splendor (29)

Peter, holding a large package and wearing a bright halo on his head, followed behind Schiller, returned to the central garden, changed to another path, and headed in another direction.

During the journey, Peter reached out and touched the halo on his head and said: "This thing actually has substance? What is it made of? Why does it glow?... Wait, why does it seem to have flame patterns on it? Could this be molten steel..."

Just as he said this, he felt Schiller's death stare. Peter cleared his throat and said: "Okay, I know, it's magic... ah, no, holy light, it's holy light, thank Jesus, um..."

Peter stretched out two fingers and made a zipping motion in front of his mouth. Schiller then turned his head back. But after a while, Peter spoke again: "Doctor, where are we going now? I see a Nordic-style building nearby. Can I go in and visit?"

"That's for later. Now we have serious business to do. I need your help." Schiller led Peter, walked around another corner, passed behind Valhalla, and continued forward. He could see a waterfall. Walking up the mountain road beside the waterfall, there was another sanctuary building halfway up the mountain.

Walking up the stairs, Peter first saw a statue of Jesus. When passing by, he stared at the statue of Jesus and said: "Why do I feel that the clothing of the Jesus sculpture is a bit wrong? Jesus should have been born in..."

"Peter, what was the scale of the explosion that killed you?" Schiller asked.

"Oh, the scale shouldn't have been big," Peter recalled and said: "The criminal's power hadn't been fully released yet before I knocked him out. The affected range might have been a few hundred meters."

"But fortunately, the area he was facing was wasteland, and only a few residential houses behind him were affected."

Just saying this, Peter's tone became worried. He said: "Even if the shockwave didn't have that much power after spreading, maybe the building structure couldn't withstand it. If the building collapsed, it would definitely hurt people, and disaster relief afterward would also be troublesome..."

Speaking of this, he quickened his pace, came to Schiller's side, and said: "Doctor, you said I can be resurrected, so when can I be resurrected? I want to go back quickly. I'm afraid other Spider-Men won't understand the local situation and cause trouble..."

"You want to be resurrected as soon as possible?" Schiller asked knowingly.

Peter nodded vigorously. Who knew he would hear Schiller say: "If you want to be resurrected as soon as possible, ask fewer questions! Turn your head over, don't stare at that angel statue!"

"But... but... the pattern on the bottle held by this angel and the era at that time don't quite... okay, I got it." Peter covered his mouth with one hand again.

The hall they were in was somewhat similar to the preaching hall of a medieval church. Various patterns were drawn on the milky white and brown floor tiles. Statues of little angels in various forms were placed along the walls. Of course, the statue of Jesus and stained glass could not be missing. The style of the entire building was as if someone was shouting in one's ear with a giant megaphone: "This is Heaven! It's Heaven! It's Heaven! It's Heaven, it's Heaven, it's Heaven..."

Trying hard to ignore the confusion in the architectural details, Peter buried his head and walked forward while holding his things. However, Schiller stopped directly in front of a wall beside the preaching hall.

Peter looked at the wall with his eyes and found nothing unusual, but Schiller reached out, pressed a brick on the wall, and then the wall slowly opened to both sides...

Inside was an elevator.

Peter widened his eyes. He pointed at the elevator, and just as he was about to say something, Schiller had already walked in. So, Peter could only follow him in.

Taking the elevator and pressing the button, the elevator arrived at the third floor. When walking out, Peter found that this was a very modern office, with a style completely different from just now, giving him the illusion of having traveled through time.

"Why does the style of the corridor here look a bit like S. H. I. E. L. D.? Especially this monitoring equipment, does Heaven also need monitoring? Do angels also steal things?" Peter's facial features wrinkled, and he said with some disbelief.

Just as they were walking inside the corridor, Nick Fury came out to meet them and said: "Peter, long time no see. How is being the Director of S. H. I. E. L. D.?"

"Oh, Director Nick, it's really great that you're okay! Wait, this is Heaven... you're okay... you should be okay, right?" Peter was incoherent, but soon, he noticed a bigger problem. He said: "Director, how did you know I became the Director of S. H. I. E. L. D.? Weren't you already... at that time?"

Nick coughed twice and gave Schiller a look. Schiller shrugged. Nick pushed open the office door, led Peter inside, and said: "Peter, this is actually one of our plans. The so-called plan means everything is within the plan..."

Peter was pressed onto the sofa in the office's reception area by Nick. Nick went to pour water. Peter's head followed him as he turned, and he said: "What does 'within the plan' mean? Could it be that your assassination wasn't an accident?"

"Of course not," Nick shook his head and said: "Guess, who was the one who did it?"

"Wasn't it the military?" Peter asked.

Nick finished pouring the water, turned back, and when he placed the water cup in front of Peter, his gaze fell on Schiller. Peter followed his gaze and slowly widened his eyes. He pointed at Schiller repeatedly with his finger and said: "You mean... the one who assassinated you was Dr. Schiller??!"

Schiller took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense. I wasn't the one who did it. I just took care of the miserable business of a certain mercenary."

Peter frowned, but Schiller spoke up: "Since Peter has already come here, we can start our next plan."

"Are you sure you want to do this? The next opponent is not easy to deal with, and I suspect Tony is already on guard."

"No need to suspect. He probably guessed part of our plan long ago, but it doesn't matter. He will cooperate with us."

Nick sat on the sofa, also picked up the water cup and took a sip, and said: "So, is our next target Stark?"

Schiller shook his head and said: "No, let's look at Captain America first. He should have returned to New York by now."

Peter didn't quite understand what they were discussing, but he still raised an objection. He said: "Shouldn't the Captain still be in Washington? Last time I called him, he said he was waiting for Nick Fury's funeral."

When he said this, Peter found that Nick and Schiller's gazes had both fallen on him. Schiller stared at him and said: "Now, the funeral he has to prepare for is probably not just Nick Fury's."

Peter suddenly froze. In an instant, memories flashed before his eyes. He remembered the scene where he swung down from a high building and hugged the Nitro who was about to explode.

A young man who wasn't very strong and had a thin build fell into the center of the explosion without hesitation at the fastest speed, and the moment the flames and dust rolled up, he hugged that human bomb.

The next second, a terrible explosion occurred. Everyone within a few hundred meters was blown away, and Peter flew exceptionally high.

Thanks to the powerful physique brought by the spider mutation, he could still remain a whole corpse under such a violent impact.

But the moment Nitro's power was released, the energy impact pierced his chest, leaving a large hole in his chest.

When such a scene appeared on the screen, Captain America Steve's reaction was the same as everyone else in New York. He covered his mouth, widened his eyes, and his chest began to heave rapidly.

The "New York Wonders" program crew came to the roof of a building near the chemical plant because they were filming the New Warriors team fighting crime. After the members of the New Warriors jumped down, they, as ordinary people, didn't chase after them so quickly, and this decision saved their lives.

At first, they were just capturing long shots on the roof of the building. Later, the New Warriors team chased those criminals out, and the crew didn't rush to chase either, just driving slowly behind. And when Nitro exploded, they were not within the explosion range.

But this meant that the cameras in their hands completely recorded the entire process of the explosion. However, this wasn't played on the "New York Wonders" program, but appeared on the legal program.

The explosion case in southeastern New York shocked the world. Since the 9/11 incident, various departments in the United States had raised their vigilance to the highest level. Once the video data came out, everyone was stunned.

What should have sparked the most discussion was the criminal who exploded uncontrollably, but even more shocking than that was Spider-Man's death.

Spider-Man had been a superhero in New York for so long, and quite a few people knew him, and the vast majority of them had good reviews of him.

One reason was that the Daily Bugle hadn't targeted Spider-Man yet, and the other was that Spider-Man Peter didn't appear very frequently because he had to do experiments, but this instead won people's favor.

Most New York citizens' evaluation of him was even much higher than their evaluation of Iron Man. After all, they all knew Iron Man was Tony Stark, and Stark's private life had always been criticized.

However, it could be seen from Spider-Man's physique that he wasn't old, and several television interviews also showed that he was a quite trendy person: ordinary background, good grades, liked playing games, listened to pop music, and would have conflicts with friends around him.

Such an image won the favor of many young people, who all regarded Spider-Man as a superhero representing their own class.

The three most famous heroes in New York were Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Captain America. Among them, Spider-Man had the most young fans, Iron Man had the most fans among the middle-aged and elite class, and Captain America had a large group of elderly fans from his era. All three had their own audiences.

Undoubtedly, among these three types of people, teenagers were the easiest to be incited to anger and unable to control their emotions. At the same time, because of their familiarity with the online world, they would express their views more often online.

Thus, the death of Spider-Man caused a huge uproar under the spread and rendering of the internet.

Various mourning posts appeared online, and many young stars and athletes spoke out, claiming that this was a failure of government functions, letting criminals do whatever they wanted and killing a young, vibrant, and righteous superhero.

Among all superheroes in New York, Spider-Man originally had the most positive reviews. And in any country, the tradition that "the dead are the greatest" exists. Originally, Spider-Man had been criticized for some of his frivolous behavior, but once he died, the whole internet gave him good reviews.

Many of his die-hard fans went to mourn the accident, and a group of people went to the gate of the Raft Prison and the gate of the New York City Hall to offer flowers, while more people galloped on the battlefield of the internet, discussing who was responsible for this.

Most people felt that the primary responsibility of course lay with those few criminals, and the prison and government that led to the criminals' escape should also bear part of the responsibility. But the main point of contention was whether the members of the New Warriors team should be held responsible?

Some felt they were also well-intentioned, wanting to fight crime, but because of lack of experience and ability, they led to such a mistake. But more people felt that it was entirely them who started the trouble.

The vast majority of people felt that the New Warriors team united with the TV station to show off, neither having the ability nor making a plan, just recklessly going to catch criminals, and after causing trouble, dragged Spider-Man into the water.

Spider-Man sacrificed his life, but they were fine, and even after the accident, they kept shirking their responsibilities online. Many of their fans were still attacking Spider-Man.

Within just a few days, the few people in the New Warriors team caused public anger. And in the base of the New Warriors, Speedball raised his tone and said:

"What does this have to do with me?! That was clearly Spider-Man seeking his own death!

If he hadn't followed and messed around, we would have definitely taken down those criminals long ago!

!"

Just then, Speedball heard his phone ring. He picked up the phone, looked at the screen, and then instantly his face flushed red, shouting at his maximum volume:

"These damn, uninformed bloggers!

They actually say we are show-off liars! That we are murderers who intentionally killed Spider-Man! They also say I... say I'm a foul-mouthed thug!

They actually dare to use such vocabulary to describe me... I want to kill them!

!"

"Who do you want to kill?" A slightly indifferent voice came from the door.

Everyone in the base turned their heads. In the dim light of the corridor, appearing in front of them first was a red and blue circular shield. ===== CHAPTER 888 =====
