In front of an old fifteen-story building in Brooklyn, Li Jie asked Peter Parker, "Can you go up?" "What?" Peter didn't understand Li Jie's meaning, and Li Jie didn't explain.
He directly used the "Eight Steps Cicada Overtaking Technique" to pour internal force into his legs, and with a few gentle steps on the wall, he flew to the roof of the fifteenth floor.
Peter was a little surprised by the strength of this Nightcrawler. Peter had the ability of biostatic, so he could naturally climb the wall. But the action of climbing the wall was naturally not as elegant as the kind of jumping on the wall.
Now Peter hadn't made the machine that launched the spider silk, so he could only climb to the fifteenth floor by the ugly way of climbing the wall.
Fortunately, it was midnight, and there was no one on the street. Moreover, there were not many residents in this old building. Otherwise, this way of climbing the building would be really easy to be discovered.
"Catch!" Li Jie threw the prepared coffee to Peter who had just climbed up. In the United States, people under the age of 21 were not allowed to drink alcohol. Although Li Jie didn't care, Peter was still a child.
"Oh, thank you." Peter took the coffee, which was his favorite brand.
"What do you think? If you can't find the murderer who hurt your uncle, then you will continue like this? "Li Jie asked. "Until I may annoy the police, or provoke people who are more powerful than me, and then be killed by them?"
"I don't want to cause trouble." Peter lifted the mask and revealed his mouth, drank a mouthful of coffee, and then said dryly. "It's just, it's just that I think I should do something for my uncle."
"So, this is what you do for your uncle?" Li Jie's tone was noncommittal. "Coming out to cause trouble all day long?"
"But you seem to cause more trouble than I do!" Peter retorted. He had obtained special abilities these days, which made him feel that he was unique, but today, he was taught a lesson by Li Jie, and he was depressed.
"Maybe, but at least I deal with criminals with clear criminal tendencies." Li Jie retorted. "Not like you, who only stares at certain people. Abusing your superpower. "
Peter's face was a little red under the mask. He had indeed been very ridiculous these few days. Not only did they not find the real culprit, but they also did a lot of stupid things.
"A friend of mine once told me that people with great abilities often carry great responsibilities," Peter said as he looked at Li Jie, who was dressed as Nightcrawler. "What do you think? Fighting criminals in the dark? "
"Fighting criminals is just a way of life for me. You can think of it as a hobby." Of course, Li Jie couldn't say that he was doing quests to level up.
"Some things have to be done, like stopping crime. This city has a population of 25 million. Every day, there are countless robberies, murders, and sexual assaults in this city. "Li Jie's ability to talk was getting better and better.
"So sometimes, someone has to stand up and do something. Just like your uncle. If someone had stood up with him to stop the criminals, then I think he might not have been injured." Li Jie's words touched Peter. It was because Peter didn't stand up when he needed him to, that led to his uncle's injury.
"Everyone can suffer misfortune, but if we simply turn misfortune into hatred, then it will only produce more misfortune. Instead of regretting after misfortune comes, it's better to nip it in the bud before it comes!"
Li Jie's words made him want to vomit. It was like what a life coach in a superhero movie would say. But in order to educate the little spider, Li Jie could only say that.
Fortunately, Peter really liked it. Peter was a little moved by Li Jie's words. "So this is why you help others stop crime?"
Li Jie shrugged. He didn't say yes or no. But Peter thought it was Li Jie's tacit agreement.
"Then can I join?" Peter said after a moment of silence. "What?!" Li Jie didn't expect Peter to make such a request.
"Can I join you? You see, I'm actually quite good, right? If you need an assistant to fight against criminals, I think I can help. "Peter said shyly. "I think you're right. If someone had stood up to stop the crime, my uncle wouldn't have been injured. I want to stand up with you to stop the crime."
Hey, hey! The director must have gotten the wrong script and lines! I'm just helping Peter Parker walk on the path he should walk in life. I'm not going to be his life coach. I'm not going to be the newbie Spider-man's nanny! Ah ~ Hey!
Li Jie was so focused on talking that he forgot that Peter Parker was still a middle schooler. Middle schoolers loved heroism the most. Especially Peter Parker who had a strong sense of justice in his heart.
Li Jie finally understood the meaning of this sentence. He had to jump into the hole he dug with tears in his eyes. The mission to help the Spider-man return to the right path had not been completed yet. If he refused, he might cause the Spider-man who had just reignited his hope to turn evil!
If that happened, not only would he not be able to complete the mission, he wouldn't be able to face Peter Parker in the future.
"Okay ~ tomorrow night at 11 pm, let's meet here again." Li Jie said and left without looking back. The wind is so noisy today ~ I want to be alone.
"Peter, I'm sorry. I didn't know that your uncle was in such a serious situation. Please forgive me for not visiting you." The next morning, Gwen came to the hospital and gave Peter a hug when she saw him guarding by the bed.
"It's okay, it's okay Gwen." Peter hugged Gwen and patted her shoulder. "Let me introduce you. Gwen, this is my uncle, Ben Parker. Uncle Ben, this is my colleague, Gwen Stancy. "
"Hello, Uncle Ben. You can call me Gwen." Gwen smiled gently and shook hands with Uncle Ben. "I heard Peter and Jason mention you. You are much more beautiful than in the photos." Uncle Ben winked at Gwen and smiled.
"Photos?" Gwen was confused. "On Peter's computer. He set it as a desktop. There are many photos." Uncle Ben sold Peter's privacy to Gwen.
"Oh, Uncle, Gwen isn't. I don't have any." Peter was confused by Uncle Ben's words. "So you don't have any photos of me?" Gwen raised her eyebrows and said in a bad tone.
"Yes, oh, actually not. I did, but it was for the interns in the lab. Yes, it was for the interns to take pictures as a souvenir." Peter's lie was incoherent, and in the end, he barely managed to cover up his lie.
"Ah ha. So it's just for the interns." Gwen obviously didn't believe this excuse. She looked at Peter with a slightly suspicious look. But she didn't want to pursue it. In fact, she liked Peter's infatuation with her. It made her heart beat faster.
"Ah, yes." Peter said with some embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Gwen. I didn't show up. I was supposed to go to your house for dinner, but I … I'm sorry. "
"No, Peter. Don't say things like that. "Gwen said considerately. "Uncle Ben is injured. Do I expect you to eat with me in peace?"
Gwen didn't go home until noon. After Gwen left, Uncle Ben said with a smile. "This girl is not bad. Are you chasing after her? Then you have to work harder. Peter, good girls are very popular. "
"Oh, thank you, Uncle Ben." Because of Uncle Ben's words, Peter felt uncomfortable in front of Gwen the whole morning.
In the afternoon, the food truck finished its business. Li Jie also came to the hospital. The food truck's business was very stable. It made about 1500 USD every day. In addition, every day Tony Stark would buy a burger and give 500 USD as a tip.
When he came to the hospital to see Uncle Ben and Peter today, he found that Peter's mental state was much better today. It seemed that teaching the little spider how to behave yesterday was effective. The old Peter Parker was back.
"Peter, you look good today!" Li Jie said with a bit of pride. "Yeah, I think so too." Peter said with a bit of pride. "Because I met a very cool guy yesterday!"
Yeah ~ You met a very cool guy, and I met a very troublesome chatterbox.
