Peter sat on the metal frame under the overpass, his legs dangling in mid-air. Occasionally, pedestrians would pass by below, but no one would look up because it was too high up. Who would have thought that a skinny kid would be sitting on the metal frame?
But for Peter, who had just obtained his superpower, this was a piece of cake. With a light jump, he landed on the metal frame and sat there comfortably, looking at the night scenery in the distance.
The neon lights of New York City twinkled at night, forming a beautiful picture. Peter looked at it from afar, trying his best to ignore Benshu, who was passing by below, calling out to him.
Peter and Benshu had quarreled because Peter did not pick up Aunt Mei, who had finished her night shift, as promised. As a result, Aunt Mei had to walk twelve blocks alone, waiting at the entrance of an abandoned subway station. In the end, she had to worry about Peter's late return. Because Peter's phone was turned off, no one could contact him.
Peter had always been a well-behaved child, but recently, he seemed to be a little 'naughty', which worried Benshu and Aunt Mei.
Just half a month ago, when Peter was participating in a science exhibition, he was accidentally bitten by a radioactive spider. Then, in a dramatic fashion, he obtained the power of a spider.
His superpower brought many unexpected surprises to Peter. For example, he could no longer be bullied by Thompson in school. But it also brought a lot of trouble. Because Peter could not fully control his superpower, he always inadvertently messed up a lot of things.
But there was one thing that Peter was very concerned about. He got some news about his parents.
Peter had always wanted to know more about his parents, but at the same time, he was very sensitive about them. So when Benshu reprimanded Peter and mentioned his father, Peter contradicted him for the first time.
"Peter, you are very much like your father. That is good, really good. But your father is a man of ideals and principles. He believes that if you can do something good for others, you have a moral responsibility to do it. That is the most important thing," Benshu said.
"Then where is he? Why didn't he tell me this himself? "Peter contradicted Benshu for the first time. He slammed the door and left, accidentally breaking the glass of the door.
In fact, when Peter came out, the cold wind blew and he calmed down.
Peter scratched his head, feeling vexed and irritated.
He knew that all of this was his fault, but he just couldn't control himself at that time. His emotions had been fluctuating a lot recently. When he suddenly heard his father, he couldn't control himself because he was always very sensitive to his parents. Sometimes, people were more presumptuous to those close to them. That was why he couldn't control himself and talked back to his uncle.
And because he knew it was his fault, Peter found it difficult to face Benshu now.
The youth's unwillingness to admit defeat and guilt made Peter's feelings very complicated.
It was only when Benshu's voice gradually faded away that Peter jumped down from the iron frame of the overpass. He landed lightly on the ground without making much noise.
Peter rubbed his cheeks, and then pinched his cheeks in a bad mood. He had a little baby fat.
Peter thought angrily. He hated this. He hoped that he could grow up to be a tall and strong man like Captain America. Although his first idol was Iron Man, in this regard, he hoped that he could be like Captain America.
Peter walked on the street with his hands in his pockets. Unknowingly, he had walked out of several streets. This street was a little dark. Several of the street lamps had been broken and could no longer emit light. The brightest thing on the whole street was the convenience store that was profitable 24 hours a day.
Peter walked in and chose a bottle of milk tea. When he paid the bill, he realized that he didn't bring enough money.
Peter's face was red with embarrassment. He took out two crumpled one yuan notes from his pocket, and then found a five-cent coin.
"You still need two cents." The cashier looked at him and reminded him.
Peter's face was red. He groped in his pocket, but he couldn't find the two cents.
The cashier was a greasy man who looked to be about 150 pounds. He looked at Peter impatiently and said, "If you don't have enough money, then don't come to the supermarket."
Peter tried to look in his pocket and muttered with a red face, "It's only two cents."
"You can't take the milk tea if you're two cents short," the cashier said sarcastically. "Get lost, poor boy. Why go to the supermarket if you don't have money?"
Peter looked at him angrily. He put the two yuan and five cents in his pocket and walked to the door in a sorry state.
Behind him, the last customer in the store, the man, was carrying a box of beer to pay the bill. Then, he accidentally knocked over the candy box on the cashier and spilled it on the ground.
Then, when the fat cashier bent down to pick it up, the man quickly grabbed the cash in the cashier, picked up the beer, and was about to run.
Peter felt something and turned his head. His eyes met the man's. The man paused for a moment, picked up the milk tea on the cashier, and threw it at Peter.
Peter caught the milk tea and looked at the man's fleeing figure. He hesitated for a moment.
Forget it, it's none of my business. Peter thought as he walked out.
Behind him, the cashier who had just picked up the candy realized that his cash register had been robbed. He shouted and squeezed out of the cashier with great effort. He ran out and shouted at the back of the thief, "Catch the thief! Who can help me?! Catch the thief! — — "
He looked at Peter and asked for help, "Child, help me. Catch him."
Peter pursed his lips and looked at the fat and ugly face of the cashier. He said, "It's none of my business."
Then he turned and left.
"Peter!" At that moment, Ben Parker, who had just turned the corner on the street, saw Peter's figure on the other side of the street. Then he heard the shout of the cashier. His heart skipped a beat.
Ben Parker looked at the thief who was running in his direction. He stopped him and tangled with him.
"Benshu!" Hearing the shout, Peter turned his head and saw Benshu and the thief tangled together. Peter was shocked and immediately ran toward them.
The fat cashier ran toward them, panting. Peter suddenly overtook him and ran quickly in Benshu's direction.
Suddenly, in the midst of the dispute, a gun fell from the thief.
Benshu was shocked and reached out at the same time as the thief to grab the gun.
At that moment, Peter, who was still running, used his enhanced eyesight to see that the thief's finger was already on the trigger. The expression on the thief's face became irritated and impatient, and he was almost about to pull the trigger.
Peter jumped over the guardrail and ran with big strides. When he saw this scene, his pupils shrank and he shouted anxiously, "Benshu!"
When Peter was only a few meters away from the two of them, even if he reached out his hand, he couldn't stop the thief from pulling the trigger. He looked at the scene in despair, and his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
However, at this critical moment, the thief suddenly pulled back and threw away the gun in his hand. His eyes widened, and he took a few steps back. He muttered in disbelief, "Ghost, ghost … There's a ghost! — — "
He screamed loudly, turned around, and quickly ran away. He rolled and crawled in a sorry state.
The thief suddenly pulled back, causing Benshu to stagger and fall to the ground. He cried out in pain, as if he could hear the sound of his bones rubbing against each other.
However, the righteous Benshu didn't forget to catch the thief. He said to Peter, who had just run over, "Peter, go and catch him!"
However, Peter didn't move.
Peter stood opposite Benshu and looked at the dark alley behind Benshu. A round, spherical object with long black hair was floating in the air.
It was a human head with long black hair. It was floating in the dark alley, staring straight at him.
The thief was scared away when he saw this!
Peter felt like his hair was about to explode!
"Peter?" Benshu, who was unaware of this, looked up and said, "Peter, what are you doing? Go and catch that thief! "
Benshu's voice brought Peter back to his senses. He subconsciously went to help Benshu, who had fallen to the ground. Hearing this, he quickly turned his head and saw that the thief had disappeared around the corner.
"Benshu, you're more important!" Peter carefully helped him up and asked anxiously, "Are you okay? Can you stand up? "
Benshu looked at the thief's disappearing figure and sighed. He stood up with Peter's help and said, "I think I sprained my waist."
Peter quickly asked, "Can you still walk? Do you need me to carry you? "
"No, I don't think I need to," Benshu replied. "I can walk slowly."
Walk slowly?
Peter supported Benshu and quickly turned his head.
In the dark alley, under the dim light of the street lamps, the face of the human head was pale. His long black hair floated in the air, moving without any wind. His eyes were almost invisible, and the whites of his eyes were suffused with a strange green light. He looked straight into Peter's eyes, and the corners of his scarlet lips curled up until they were level with his ears, forming a strange arc.
Peter, "!!!"
Peter's hair stood on end. He was so scared that his face turned pale!
No! He couldn't walk slowly!
"Benshu, I'll carry you!" Peter didn't wait for Benshu's reaction. He directly carried Benshu on his back and ran with big strides. "Benshu, let's go to the hospital immediately!!!"
Benshu, who was suddenly carried on his back, was dumbfounded. Before he could react, Peter had already started running with him on his back. Even though he was running very fast, he was surprisingly stable, and he didn't feel any bumps at all.
Uncle Ben looked at Peter's back and grabbed his shoulders with both hands. Then he realized that the child he had watched grow up from a young age, his seemingly thin and weak shoulders were actually very thick and sturdy. It unexpectedly made people feel safe.
Benshu sighed. This child had actually grown up before he realized it.
His eyes were slightly moist. He thought that perhaps he should tell this child something about his parents.
At this time, Peter, who had no idea what was going on in Benshu's mind, was already running as fast as he could without bumping Benshu.
