In the middle of the night, Harry Osborn in his sleep suddenly woke up.

He didn't have nightmares, and there was no movement from the outside world that could wake him up, but some inexplicable heart palpitations made him wake up immediately, as if someone was watching him by the bed, and his sixth sense made him feel uneasy.

Harry Osborne didn't turn on the light rashly, but looked at his room by the moonlight shining into the room from the window, and in the direction of the window, he saw a person.

At first glance, the man who came to his room silently caused Harry Osborn to suddenly stop his heart, and his horror shut his jaws, and he couldn't make a sound when he wanted to call.

At the second glance, Harry Osborne's heart resumed beating, and his tight body relaxed, because he had been able to confirm the person's identity.

The red and blue tights, spider web-like patterns, and the big spider logo on the chest belong to one person—the superhero who has recently risen to fame and the Spider-Man who claims to be “everyone’s good neighbor”.

Although he hates spiders very much, Harry still has considerable respect for this civilian hero: "Spider-Man, I...what can I help you?"

"Harry, it's me."

Spider-Man took off his headgear, revealing a young and handsome face, and the identity represented by this face was well known by Harry, who was clearly his classmate and friend Peter Parker.

"Peter, how could it be you!"

Harry in his pajamas immediately stood up from the bed, walked barefoot to his friend, scratched his head and said in disbelief, "I mean, why is Spider-Man you."

When he approached, Harry found that Peter Parker was in tears. The youth and confidence that had originally hung on his face had disappeared, replaced by the frustration of the collapse of life belief.

Upon learning that Spider-Man is his friend, Harry was astonished and surprised with various strange expressions on his face, but after noticing Peter's state, Harry's expression immediately changed, his admiration for the hero Turned into a concern for friends: "Peter, what happened to you?"

Peter Parker wiped away his tears and said, "Harry, you are my best friend. I need to talk to someone about some things, okay?"

"Yes, we are best friends!" Harry thought for a while and said, "Do you need something to drink, coffee or something else?"

Peter Parker said, "Thank you, Harry, if you are willing to listen to me what happened to yourself, that's enough."

"Harry, do you remember the science and technology exhibition that the school organized us to attend, that is, the visit to your company, Osborne Industries. That exhibition was the beginning of everything"

Harry nodded blankly, but after starting to tell, Peter Parker was immersed in his own world and didn't care about Harry's performance.Maybe it's like Peter said, he just needs a listener like a tree hole.

"At that time, I was taking a photo with an old camera that my uncle gave me. A spider suddenly fell from the ceiling and just landed on my hand. I subconsciously wanted to take it away, but that behavior just made it happen. Feeling the danger, it took a bite on the back of my hand, and its toxins entered my blood vessels through the wound."

"Later the staff came out and said that there was a leak of dangerous goods in the laboratory. In order to prevent accidents, all non-staff must leave the site. Affected by this, our visit was forced to terminate, and we went home without course arrangements. "

"The spider's venom quickly penetrated into my body with the blood circulation. It made me miserable and my body temperature rose rapidly. After returning home, I almost fell asleep in a fainting manner. I woke up the next day. I found myself in an unprecedentedly better state. I had increased strength, agility, and easily moved from the top of one building to the top of another building. I could see the trajectory of the high-speed ball thrown by the baseball pitcher, and even lean on it. The bristles under the skin climbed the wall. A few days later, I found that a brand new organ appeared in my wrist. Through the synthesis of protein to form a structure similar to spider silk, the organ I called the spider silk launcher could follow me The idea of ​​​​is launched through high voltage."

What an enviable superpower!

Harry murmured in his heart, but in his eyes, the painful look on Peter's face became heavy, and he began to sob and sob again, as if the superhuman ability did not come from God, but the devil in hell Curse.

"I'll pour you a glass of water." Harry didn't know how to comfort his old friend at this time, so he made an excuse to pour water for him to ease the atmosphere between the two.

Even if he considers himself a friend of the other party, he actually realized that he didn't know much about Peter just now, such as the other party's mental journey as Spider-Man, that glory and responsibility.

Harry's inadvertent actions made Peter suddenly react exaggerated, like an insect breaking into the web causing a vibration of the spider silk, and then arousing the predators hidden in the corner.

Peter, who jumped up to Harry's bed and pushed him back, noticed his stress reaction, and quickly stepped back two steps to widen the distance from his friend, and said tremblingly: "Sorry, I...thank you...I , Just listen to me... Harry, you just need to listen to me to finish, my time is running out, I hope you can listen to me to finish!"

"OK!" Harry continued to lie back on the bed, quietly making a listening gesture.

However, his muscles are tight and he is obviously in a state of high tension.

For Peter, who has a spider's induction, the changes of his friends cannot escape his perception. Harry became so guilty because of him, but he wiped away his tears and continued to tell his experience.

"After gaining this power, I did not become Spider-Man. Instead, I relied on it to fight back against people who had always bullied me and fight black punches to earn some extra money... Then after a game, I let a robber follow I passed by and he took Uncle Ben’s life-I killed him."

For these two things, Harry can be regarded as a certain degree of participant. Peter played in school and bullied him. Lightning Thompson was his own eyes. He also attended Ben Parker’s funeral, and Spider-Man was also After that, he became active in New York.

But Harry never knew the inside story.

"Uncle Ben told me before he died, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Peter, who recalled his sad past, covered his face and said: "I did what he said, became Spider-Man, and became everyone's good. Neighbor, it made the headlines of the Daily Horn."

"However, this is precisely the beginning of the tragedy."

"With the intensive use of abilities, especially spider silk, the protein in the body began to be consumed rapidly. I became hungry faster and my appetite became larger. My dietary preference can provide food with more protein. However, the daily diet cannot supplement at all. My consumption and human digestive function are at a limit. Even if I use energy blocks made from bugs that have six times the protein of beef as an energy source, it is far from enough. Hunger has always been with me."

"But it's just what I think, and it's actually worse. The fusion of spider venom and my genes does not only give me spider-like abilities, but also makes me one step closer to transforming into spiders. A life of falling asleep every night , The subconscious that belongs to the predator in my body will wake up. It is not a personality, more like an instinct."

"When I’m hungry, my instinct is to eat. At first it was raw meat from a butcher’s shop, then cats, dogs and other living creatures... Finally, it was criminals. After I finished fighting crime as Spiderman, my subconscious mind was still very good. Executing the command issued by the brain, but no longer packing the criminals and throwing them at the door of the police station, but wrapping them into cocoons with spider silk, melting their muscles and internal organs, and then sucking something like the strawberry milkshake."

Listening to Peter's account, Harry's face became more and more ugly, and he finally couldn't help it, and he felt nauseous and retched.

But Peter, who had revealed the truth, seemed to be in a state of madness, and his speech began to speed up. He was just talking there alone, not paying attention to Harry as a listener.

"Later I found out that what I was doing was accidental. When I was awake, I chased the panicking criminals and ran into an abandoned factory. In the largest one, I saw cocoons all over the floor. Because of the oxidation of the air and dust, Those cocoons had turned gray-black, and I didn’t recognize what it was. After opening it, I found that the cocoons were leftovers from the dissolution of human or animal limbs--that is, clothing bones and indigestible hair."

Harry retched a few more times, then shivered with the quilt wrapped around him.

"At the time, I didn't know that it was my work. After violently questioning some gang members, I learned from them the legend of the human spider-it was a spider monster that escaped from the laboratory. During the day Hidden in the shadow of the city that is not easy to find, they come out to hunt at night, usually people.

It is different from the eating habits of lions and tigers. It does not immediately kill and eat the prey when it catches it. Instead, it takes it to its nest, injects venom into the prey, and watches the prey die painfully before eating."

"After I learned about the human spider, I have been tracking its whereabouts, but it was originally me, how can I find it by myself-until just now."

"That's a powerful enemy, codenamed Master of Imitation. His physical learning ability is very strong. He relies on imitating the enemy's actions to defeat opponents-because of the dual threats of human spiders and Spiderman, gang members dare not go out easily at night , So I collected some money to ask Master Mo to destroy us, at least one of us."

"Before the human spider, the imitation master first found Spider-Man. This battle was very difficult, and I tried my best to imitate the master until my spider silk launcher could no longer synthesize spider silk."

Speaking of this, Peter paused for a while, as if he was doing some psychological preparation, and Harry, as the listener, was afraid to let out a breath at this time, but the cold sweat wet the sheets under him.

"The protein in my body was consumed to a dangerous level. The predator in my body was instinctively awakened. It took charge of my body and began to attack like a beast. The master of imitation who was already familiar with my attack routine was caught off guard. After two moves, It was spread on the ground, and the hungry predator did not let him go so easily, but injected venom into his body and watched it die in painful convulsions, and then ate the substance dissolved by his body. ."

"However, this time I was not in a coma or asleep. I watched how I treated the prey the whole time, and then I understood the origin of the human spider legend and how the cocoon of the factory building was produced."

Peter raised his head and looked at Harry with crying red eyes: "After eating the Master Imitation, the full predator continued to sleep, and I regained control of the body... Harry, you are my best friend……"

"Peter, what are you going to do next-is to find a scientific research institution to solve your own problems, or to surrender." Even if the son of a rich man is so knowledgeable, Harry couldn't think of a better suggestion at this time.

"I don't know." Peter shook his head and said, "I want to leave here and leave New York... I am Spider-Man and Spider-Man, please don't tell Aunt May and Mary Jane."

"I understand."

Harry wanted to say something, but Peter put on the mask again and restored the Spider-Man's posture. He jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night sky with a dexterity that was not human-like.

...

That night was the last time Harry saw Peter Parker. He never appeared in school again, and even the entire human society lost the trace of this person's activities, and Spider-Man disappeared with him.

Harry had found Peter's last relative, Aunt May, and Peter's girlfriend, Mary Jane. Neither of these two people who were most important to Peter had news of him, and he did not say goodbye to them.

Regarding Peter being Spider-Man, Harry did not tell the two according to the agreement with Peter. He didn't know whether that was right or wrong.

In the days that followed, no matter how Harry looked for this friend, he still found nothing.

Harry didn't know whether Peter would die as a hero or linger as a terrible man-eater.

Later, someone in Times Square wrote a line of words "Spiderman is dead" with paint, and the mask belonging to Spiderman was nailed to the ground next to him, thinking that he should have died as a person and a respectable hero.

Harry went to the abandoned factory that Peter mentioned. It was like a spider’s paradise, full of cobwebs and huge cocoons. The corpses of the prey were almost swallowed and there was no smell; there were top predators. Rats and insects who feel the invisible threat do not dare to approach here.

After giving the address here to the police station anonymously, the police station later sorted out hundreds of human bones, but there were not many missing cases related to them.After all, most of the humans were gang members. These people died for whatever reason. It is common for the bodies to disappear cleanly. Almost no one would want to report their disappearance.

...

"Dad, has the laboratory under our company's name conducted research on spider genes?" One afternoon, Harry came to his father Norman Osborne's office and asked him to be fascinated by his career and did not have much father-son love. The father asked.

"You don't need to know these-before you master the Osborne Group, these are all trade secrets to you." Norman Osborn, who looked older than his actual age, rebuffed himself indifferently. son.

Unsurprisingly, Harry didn't feel frustrated when he hit the wall. It would be abnormal if his father showed a kind look to him. He needed to find another way to find the truth.

"Don't think about getting into the laboratory. Reality is not a movie. It is impossible to enter and leave confidential places freely with an ID card." Norman Osborne seemed to see through his son's thoughts and stared. The back who left him said sullenly.

Harry stopped for a while, and then left without looking back.

After his son left the building, Norman Osborne took out two reports from the safe in the office. One was the report of the Osborne family's genetic examination. Natural genetic defects would make the Osborn family members reach a certain level. He weakened quickly after age and died in pain, and he Norman Osborne had reached that dangerous age.

The second report is an experimental project, which puts forward an idea to "repair" genetic defects by cultivating specific organisms, using spiders as the carrier.The lead person of the experiment was a couple named Richard Parker and Mary Parker. The first subject was added later, called "Peter Parker".
