I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 258 Crazy!

In the screening room.

As the camera panned across the editorial office of The Daily Horn, a curly-haired intern wearing round-framed glasses was being sprayed with spittle by editor-in-chief James Jonathan.

The young man named "Pad Pike" was hunched over, his camera full of blurry superhero photos.

Nima!

When the Chinese characters "帕德.彼克" appeared on the screen!
Chen Jun was stunned!
I grass!

Is this what you mean by anti-superhero?
The main character in Spider-Man is named Peter Parker...

You actually set him up as Pad Pik?

The names are messed up, should we start over?
Next!

Chen Jun was stunned when he saw the foreign actor who looked somewhat similar to the protagonist in "Spider-Man"!

He felt his brain momentarily shut down, as if he had been suddenly run over by tens of thousands of alpacas, leaving him bewildered in the wind!
[Xuan Shi Entertainment] These bastards, it's one thing to change the names of the main characters in "Spider-Man"!

Even your actors are such knock-offs.
Aside from the so-called "TD" company being your original creation, what else do you have...?

and many more!

Upon closer inspection, the logo in that [TD] building is strikingly similar to the Osborn Corporation's logo in Spider-Man.
Damn it!

but.

It has similarities to Spider-Man, whether it's Peter Parker in the first place or Pad Pix in the second.

They're all equally pathetic.

On the screen, the bespectacled young man was thoroughly berated by the editor-in-chief, and walked out of the "Horn Daily" with his head down in humiliation.

The editor-in-chief berated him for not even being able to portray a positive image of Superman properly, and in the heat of the moment, tore up his photos.

Just as Paddy Peek walked out of the Daily Horn building with the torn photographs in his hand, the "New Gotham" under the cover of night was being shrouded in TD Company advertisements.

Superman floats on an advertising screen 7 meters high, looping the declaration of "absolute justice" in five languages, and announces that he will become the "Super Hero Earth Defense Force". He will also announce that "human warriors" who pass the test will join the seven-man team to protect the world with him!
In the shot, Padpik looks enviously at the "human warriors" flying in the sky, then looks down at his own thin and frail body...

Immediately afterwards...

He sighed.

With his head down, he walked step by step into the alley in the distance!
then……

"That's not right."

Paddy Peter suddenly stopped in his tracks.

On screen, under the camera!
The camera followed his gaze downwards...

In a dark alley, three "superheroes" in TD uniforms are pinning a homeless man against a wall. The masked man who can spit silk has his buttocks writhing strangely, shooting out a viscous white liquid that wraps the victim in a cocoon.

"The 108th human experiment was a success." The tin man leading the experiment lifted his mask, revealing a face that bore a striking resemblance to Superman. "The boss said this batch of material needs to be sent to the Gotham branch."

"Crack!"

The sudden click of the camera shutter silenced the alleyway instantly.

Pad Picker looked at the menacing faces of the three people who suddenly turned their heads in the viewfinder and realized that he had forgotten to turn off the flash.

"run!"

As the barbed spider silk grazed his ear and embedded itself in the wall, the intern reporter unleashed the fastest speed of his life.

However, the roar of a TD armored vehicle came from behind, along with the distorted voice of the tin man through a megaphone: "According to the Superhero Public Security Administration Act, you are suspected of endangering public safety—"

"boom!"

Pad Pike crashed into an underground clinic and landed on the operating table, covered in blood.

The silver-haired old man looked up from the microscope; the wall was covered with TD Company's human experiment reports.

Upon seeing this, his pupils shrank dramatically!
He realized that he seemed to be...

"Child, you've photographed something you shouldn't have..." The old man's words trailed off, followed by a sinister smile.

Before anyone could react, Pad Pike suddenly shuddered, then looked down and saw a metal claw appear on his chest.

He turned his head and saw a cold, metal face!
"Found you, little bug."

"Kill him?"

"No, Subject 108 still has some flaws. He lacks human thought and relies solely on instinctive bloodlust, making him uncontrollable. It's perfect to let this person try out the new experimental solution..."

"..."

..............................

Liu Jun watched Pad Pike struggling frantically on the screen.

In Spider-Man, Peter Parker is accidentally bitten by an experimental spider, which causes him to mutate and eventually become an ordinary hero.

In this movie, Pad Pik is captured and used as an experimental subject, then artificially created as a "superhero"!
Liu Jun stared at the screen!

What followed seemed to confirm his guess!

He saw in the dimly lit laboratory, where gleaming metal instruments were arranged around the operating table.

He saw Pad Pike strapped to the operating table, his limbs fixed in place by specially made metal shackles.

The unfortunate man in the video is blinded by the bright operating lights overhead.

He seemed to be in a daze, with the hum of machinery and the hushed conversations of the researchers in white coats echoing in his ears.

"Experimental subject number: 1000".

"Memory erasure program initiated."

In the footage, a thin needle is slowly inserted into his temple, and a mysterious liquid is injected into his brain.

Pad Pike's pupils suddenly contracted, his body trembled violently, and he began to struggle frantically.

However, it seems to have no effect at all!
Immediately afterwards...

On the screen, images of Paddy Pik's memories flashed by like a slideshow...

Liu Jun saw a picture of Pad Pike sitting alone on a bench in the orphanage during his childhood, being bullied in various ways.

He also witnessed his girlfriend, whom he had finally found as an adult, leave him because of money. He worked hard to take all sorts of photos for "Superman," but ultimately suffered the humiliation of being insulted and vandalized by the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Horn"...

Then, the final scene flashed by: evidence he had secretly filmed of human experiments conducted by TD Corporation, and then he was arrested...

Scene after scene!

They appear briefly on camera, and then are marked one by one by the computer system...

Ultimately, these memories, like paper consumed by flames, gradually twisted and shattered, eventually turning into nothingness.

"Memory erasure complete, new memory to be implanted."

The robotic arm in the video descends from the ceiling, its end connected to a data interface, and pierces directly into the back of his neck.

A series of codes were forcibly written into his brain:
"You were born in the slums of New Gotham..."

"You were raised by your alcoholic, gambling uncle Ben and your aunt Mei..."

"Your moment of glory was winning an award for secretly filming Superman beating up protesters, but in the end, due to special circumstances, the award wasn't given to you, and even a month later, you were inexplicably expelled from school..."

"During a walk to clear your head, you were accidentally bitten by a spider in front of [Oppons Technology], and from then on, you gained superpowers!"

"Important update: Uncle Ben was killed by robbers last night, leaving behind the inexplicable message, 'With great power comes great responsibility'..."

"[Emotional Parameter Loading] Hatred Value MAX: Targeting all 'keyboard warriors' who question superheroes. Loyalty Value MAX: Dedicated to the CEO of TD Corporation (close-up shot of Superman tearing up the Democracy Act news footage). Fear Threshold Zero: Automatically bowing and submitting when seeing leaders wearing 'European suits'..."

[Personality overlay completed]

On the screen!
When Liu Jun saw this, he was instantly stunned, then his eyes widened in disbelief! Holy crap!

This film, "The League of Black: The Rise of Spider-Man," is an anti-superhero movie. I originally thought it would be about turning everything upside down, but I was wrong!
The content seems to be completely overturning the plot of the Spider-Man movie!
And at that very moment, on the screen...

Pad Pike's lips trembled slightly as he unconsciously repeated the words, as if reciting some sacred vow.

However, the "personality subversion" and "implanted terminology" do not seem to have ended!

"By day, you're the timid Pad Pike wandering the streets, filming all sorts of superhero movies. By night, you use your unparalleled superpowers to fight for justice. You have a dream: to join TD and become one of the Seven..."

"..."

"Gene enhancement program initiated."

"Implantation: Superman diluted genes, integrated into the spider sensory system..."

At that moment, on the screen, another machine extended a sharp probe and pierced his spine.

The excruciating pain caused him to let out a silent roar, his muscles spasming uncontrollably.

His DNA was forcibly rewritten, and his cells reorganized in agony—

On screen, Chen Jun saw that his bone density had increased, making him able to withstand the impact of high-speed movement.

Seeing him, his nerve reaction speed increases, allowing him to instantly detect the trajectory of a bullet.

His metabolic system was optimized, and his wounds healed much faster than normal. Furthermore, his anus twisted slightly, and then some spider silk-like threads appeared...

"The final step is to implant combat instincts."

A helmet-like device was placed on his head, and an electric current instantly coursed through his entire body.

His brain was forcibly instilled with fighting skills, tactical analysis, and even the instinct to kill. His fingers twitched unconsciously, as if he had already gripped an invisible weapon.

"The experimental subject has been modified."

When Pad Pik opened his eyes again, his gaze was no longer confused, but instead held a cold determination.

He slowly sat up, looked down at his arm covered in needle marks, a strange smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and mechanically repeated the same sentence over and over again.

"I am Spider-Man!"

"I am now..."

"We need to go find Aunt Mei..."

"..."

He walked out tremblingly, put on a red leather suit similar to "Spider-Man," and then, as if being controlled, walked step by step into the distance.

……

And just then, the camera switched!
"How can Spider-Man, a superhero, shoot webs from his butt?"

"But spiders shoot webs from their rear ends..."

"Nobody likes a disgusting hero who shoots webs from his butt. Our 'Superhero' trailer for Spider-Man absolutely has to have him shoot webs from his wrists! It has to be changed. We need to make a device in his hand that connects his anus to his hand..."

"That might cause the excrement to come together..."

"I don't care about any of that, the point is, it has to be changed! Okay, so how's the plot of the [superhero] Spider-Man going? Yes, it absolutely has to be strengthened—with great power comes great responsibility! Besides that, we need to focus on the teenage market and mold 'him' into a teenage hero..."

"..."

"You, using Aunt Mei's identity, will monitor him and report data to us at all times!"

"..."

"Oh right, create an adversary for him, one in the city center, let's call him 'Green Goblin,' and pair him with a classmate, Green Goblin's son, yes, that damned experimental subject from 'Osborn Technologies'... Just say they're conducting inhumane experiments!"

"..."

"Yes, we need to flesh out his story so that more people can know about Spider-Man... The movie must be exciting, showing his growth through love, friendship, and family... That's how we can win over fans at the box office!"

"..."

On the screen.

The camera then shifts to an office.

in the office.

Several men in suits, under the direction of a bespectacled man in the lead, were taking notes step by step.

In the corner stood a foreign woman called "Aunt Mei"...

This foreign woman!

Chen Jun was stunned!
damn it!
This woman bears a striking resemblance to Meryl Streep from the movie "Spider-Man"!
"Holy crap, this movie completely overturned the plot of the Spider-Man movie!"

"Damn it, what does this mean? Does it mean that the entire Peter Parker character in the Spider-Man movie is part of a pre-planned conspiracy?"

"Damn, I suddenly find the Spider-Man movie a bit boring..."

A murmur arose in the screening room!

Chen Jun was also somewhat stunned!

Immediately afterwards...

He stared intently at the screen!

On the screen!
The most outrageous scene has occurred!

That man in black...

They actually pulled out a real-life Spider-Man DVD!

wrong!

It's not a DVD of "Spider-Man," but rather a DVD with the name changed to "Spider-Man."

But the cover and layout of the CD are surprisingly similar to the promotional poster for "Spider-Man" by a factor of seven or eight!
These crazy people at [XuanShi Entertainment]!

Aren't you really afraid of copyright infringement?

"Next, the story of test subject number 1000 will be written according to the contents of the CD..."

"Let the Daily Horn publish his story, make sure to portray him as a people's hero... We'll make a movie about him called Spider-Man!"

"Once the promotional video has generated enough buzz..."

"We'll invite him to join our [TD Super Hero League] and mold him into one of the seven-man squad's [Spider-Man]..."

"..."

Seeing this dialogue on the screen...

Chen Jun's eyes widened!
I grass!

Green Goblin, Osborn Technologies, damn it...

Isn't this all from the Spider-Man movies?
Spider-Man

It was just one word that was changed!

This movie not only seems to be piggybacking on the popularity of "Spider-Man," but it's also trying to slap "Spider-Man" in the face, and even, in a crazy way, trying to shit on its head!
It's one thing to poop!

After taking a dump, they even blew up the latrine!

Oh shit!

Chen Jun was dumbfounded!
Do you think it's over?

Do not!
The most heinous and inhumane parts of "The Black Robe Alliance" are yet to come...
