American comics: I am full of martial virtues and I love to be kind to others.

“Mr. Parker, could you describe the situation in detail?” Lynn asked.

Parker's face was pale. "In my twenty years in this profession, I've never seen anything like it. That person, that thing, it wasn't like a normal human being."

"What do you mean?" Sarah asked curiously.

“It moves incredibly fast and is incredibly strong,” Parker described. “It can hang upside down from the ceiling and move like a real spider. Most terrifying of all is the silk it shoots; it’s stronger than steel wire and almost impossible to escape.”

"How did it hurt you?" Emily asked from a medical perspective.

“It trapped all three of us security personnel with its webs,” Parker continued, “and then attacked us directly with its fists. My colleague Tommy had two ribs broken by one of its punches and is still in the hospital.”

Lynn turned to Captain Smith, "Can we see the security footage?"

“Of course,” Smith gestured to the security personnel to play the video.

The surveillance screen began playing footage from the early morning. Initially, everything appeared normal; the building's exterior lay serene under the night lights. Suddenly, a dark figure appeared at the edge of the frame.

“That’s it,” Parker said, pointing to the screen.

Lynn carefully observed the mysterious figure. Indeed, the person was dressed in a tight-fitting black uniform, with their head completely covered, obscuring their facial features. Most astonishing was their movement—they crawled along the glass facade of the building like a gecko, their movements fluid and natural, completely defying gravity.

“This is indeed not something a normal human could do,” Carlos observed.

When the black figure reached the twenty-sixth floor, it stopped to observe the situation inside, then easily sliced ​​through the reinforced glass with some kind of sharp tool. The whole process took less than ten seconds.

“It’s gone inside,” Michael said, pointing to the screen. “The movements were so professional; it’s clearly very familiar with the building’s structure.”

Internal surveillance footage revealed more details. The figure in black entered the office area and immediately moved in a specific direction without hesitation or searching.

“It knew where the target was,” Lynn analyzed. “This wasn’t a random robbery; it was premeditated.”

When the three security personnel arrived at the scene, the black figure reacted with astonishing speed. White spider silk shot from its hands, instantly binding the three security personnel. This silk appeared extremely tough, and the security personnel were completely unable to break free.

“Look at that power,” Emily pointed to the screen, “it lifted that safe as easily as lifting a cardboard box.”

Indeed, the black figure easily lifted a safe weighing at least two hundred kilograms, containing a prototype quantum processor. It then quickly collected surrounding technical data and hard drives.

The most disturbing part was its behavior as it left. After confirming it had obtained the necessary items, it appeared to deliberately approach the trapped security personnel and then punched them, even though they were completely incapacitated.

“This violence is unnecessary,” Lynn observed, frowning. “It could have simply left, but instead chose to harm innocent people.”

“This shows it’s not just about money,” Sarah analyzed. “It seems to enjoy the process of causing harm.”

The video shows the dark figure leaving through a broken window, swinging between buildings on spider silk before quickly disappearing into the night.

"The whole process took less than six minutes," Captain Smith summarized. "Very professional, very fast, and extremely violent."

Lynn turned off the recording and turned to the team members, "Now we need to examine the scene in person and look for more clues."

They arrived at the crime scene on the 26th floor. The office area was a mess, with cold air blowing in through the shattered windows, and documents and equipment fragments scattered on the floor.

“Sarah, can you sense any unusual energy?” Lynn asked.

Sarah closed her eyes, focusing her attention on her surroundings. "There's a very strange residual energy, unlike any superpower we've encountered before. This energy is primal, like it comes from some kind of biological instinct."

“Biological instinct?” Lynn pressed.

“Yes, like a predator’s instinct, it’s aggressive and controlling,” Sarah described in detail, “and this energy is so intense, indicating that the user’s abilities are highly developed.”

Michael was inspecting the damaged electronic equipment. "The electronic systems here were deliberately sabotaged, but the method was selective. It only disabled the monitoring and alarm systems, while leaving the other devices intact. This shows a deep understanding of electronic systems."

“Or it has helpers,” Lynn added.

Emily was examining the spider silk residue on the ground. "The composition of this spider silk is unusual; it looks like some kind of organic polymer, but it's stronger than steel wire."

She carefully collected some samples. "I need to go back to the lab for detailed analysis to determine its exact composition and origin."

Chen Kai searched every corner of the room and suddenly spotted something on a wall. "Lin En, come look at this."

There are several obvious scratch marks on the wall, deeply embedded in the concrete. The shape of these scratch marks is peculiar, like those left by some kind of sharp claw.

“These scratches are at least two centimeters deep,” Carlos examined. “To leave such marks on a concrete wall requires tremendous force and extremely sharp claws.”

“It seems this suspect not only has the ability to crawl like a spider, but also claws like a wild animal,” Lynn analyzed.

Just then, Dr. Evan Rodriguez, CEO of Nova Technologies, arrived at the scene. He was a middle-aged man in his forties who looked extremely anxious and angry.

“FBI colleagues, thank you for arriving so quickly,” Dr. Rodriguez said urgently. “The stolen quantum processor is critical to our company, and if it falls into the wrong hands, it could pose a threat to national security.”

"Could you elaborate on the importance of this equipment?" Lynn asked.

“The quantum processor is the result of five years of research and development,” Rodriguez explained. “It can perform complex calculations that traditional computers cannot, especially in areas such as cryptography, artificial intelligence, and materials science.”

"What would be the consequences if it were used by criminals?" Michael asked, as a technology expert.

“What I’m most worried about is its password-breaking capability,” Rodriguez said seriously. “Theoretically, it could crack most existing encryption systems, including those of banks, governments, and the military, within hours.”

This information made everyone realize the seriousness of the case.

"Besides the equipment, what else is missing?" Lynn continued to ask.

“All the technical data, design drawings, and manufacturing process documents,” Rodriguez listed, “including even the design plans for the next-generation prototype we are currently developing.”

“How valuable are these materials?” Sarah asked.

“A conservative estimate is over a billion dollars,” Rodriguez replied, “but more importantly, these technologies, if misused, could alter the world’s balance of power.”

Lynn realized they were dealing with more than just an ordinary robbery; it was a major event that could affect national security. "Dr. Rodriguez, who do you think would be interested in this technology?" Lynn inquired about potential motives.

“There are many possibilities,” Rodriguez pondered. “Competitors, foreign governments, terrorist organizations, even criminal groups seeking advanced technology.”

"But how do they know where the equipment is located and what the security measures are?" Carlos raised the key question.

“This does worry me,” Rodriguez admitted. “The suspect is very familiar with the location of our security systems and equipment, which could mean…”

“Insider involvement,” Lynn finished his sentence.

This possibility made the atmosphere at the scene even more tense. If there were indeed insiders involved, the complexity of the case would increase significantly.

“I need a list of all the employees in the company who have access to this information,” Lynn demanded.

“Of course, I will prepare immediately,” Rodriguez agreed.

“There’s another question,” Emily said, as if struck by a thought, “where did this black figure’s superpowers come from? Such powerful and unique abilities couldn’t have been innate.”

"What do you mean?" Lynn asked.

“I suspect these abilities may have been acquired through some kind of experimentation or drug use,” Emily explained. “We found evidence of human experimentation at the Shadow Alliance’s base, and perhaps this case is connected to that organization.”

This thought immediately put Lynn on alert. Although they had destroyed the main force of the Shadow Alliance, there might still be remnants active.

“We need to contact our superiors immediately and report this possibility,” Lynn decided.

Just as he was about to take out his phone, Michael suddenly looked up from his computer screen. "Lynn, I've found something interesting."

"What?" Lynn went over to check.

“I’m analyzing the building’s network logs and I’ve discovered that three days before the attack, someone attempted to hack into the company’s internal systems,” Michael said, pointing to the data on the screen. “Although the intrusion was unsuccessful, the hackers obtained some basic information.”

"What kind of information?"

“Employee shift schedules, security patrol routes, and general information on the location of some equipment,” Michael listed. “While not detailed enough, it was sufficient for the attackers to formulate a basic plan of action.”

"Can you trace the source of the hack?" Lynn asked hopefully.

“I’m trying, but they’re using multiple layers of proxies and encryption, so it will take time,” Michael replied.

Just then, Sarah suddenly tensed up. "Wait, I sensed something."

"What?" Everyone turned to her.

“There’s a familiar energy fluctuation,” Sarah focused her mind, “it’s near the building, not far.”

"Is that the figure in black back?" Chen Kai asked warily.

“No, it’s not the same energy,” Sarah shook her head, “but it’s very similar, like different variants from the same source.”

Lynn immediately made a decision: "Everyone stay alert, let's go out and take a look."

They quickly left the building and got onto the street. Sarah pointed northeast. "The energy source is in that direction, about three blocks away."

“We’ll split into two groups,” Lynn instructed. “Sarah, Emily, and I will be in one group, and Michael, Chen Kai, and Carlos will be in the other. Maintain communication, and report immediately if you spot the target. Do not make contact without authorization.”

The two groups moved towards the target. Lynn's group advanced along the main street, while the other group flanked the target from the side to prevent escape.

Three blocks later, they arrived at a relatively quiet commercial area. There were some small shops and cafes, and although it wasn't usually crowded, it felt even more deserted now.

“The energy is nearby,” Sarah whispered. “Very strong, and very angry.”

Just then, the sounds of fighting came from a small alley. Lynn signaled everyone to approach carefully, and they quietly reached the alley entrance.

Deep in the alley, they witnessed a shocking scene: a figure in a red and blue uniform was engaged in a fierce battle with the black-clad figure!
"Is that... the legendary Spider-Man?" Emily asked in a low voice.

Indeed, the figure in the red and blue uniform displayed abilities similar to the black figure—crawling on walls, shooting webs, and superhuman agility. However, their fighting styles were completely different: the red and blue figure focused more on technique and defense, while the black figure was extremely violent and aggressive.

"Should we get involved?" Emily asked.

“Let’s observe further,” Lynn decided. “We need to know more.”

The battle was extremely fierce. The black figure used a beast-like attack style, with extremely dangerous claws and fists. The red and blue figure, on the other hand, resembled a professionally trained combat expert, with precise and effective moves.

Suddenly, the black figure let out a roar like a wild beast, filled with rage and hatred. Its attacks became even more frenzied, almost disregarding its own safety.

“This anger…it’s not normal,” Sarah sensed. “It’s like it’s being controlled or influenced by something.”

The red and blue figure was clearly at a disadvantage; although it had better technique, the black figure was stronger and faster. Just as the black figure was about to succeed, Lynn made a decision.

"Intervene now!" he commanded loudly.

Lynn's team immediately rushed into the alley, while Michael's voice came through the communicator: "We'll surround them from the other end!"

Upon seeing the FBI agents arrive, both spider-like figures stopped fighting. The red and blue figure seemed hesitant, while the black figure immediately turned its attention to the new threat.

"FBI! Everyone stay still!" Lynn shouted, raising his weapon.

But the black figure ignored the warnings, let out another roar, and pounced directly at Lynn.

Lynn barely dodged the first attack, but the black figure was simply too fast. Its claws left visible scratches on Lynn's bulletproof vest.

"Watch out for its claws!" Lynn warned his teammates.

Emily immediately began treating Lynn's wound. Although it wasn't serious, it could become infected if not treated promptly. (End of Chapter)
