I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 645 The Hand Knocks on the Door
"The Hand..."

Inside the academy, upon hearing Peter utter the name, Logan couldn't help but frown. Although his memories had returned, he had naturally forgotten many things as well.

His memories of Japan, in particular, were not pleasant; he had almost completely forgotten them.

“I don’t remember much about them, but if I’m not mistaken, they killed my wife… who was Deacon’s mother.”

As a jinx, Logan's life has always been a cycle of two superimposed states—when he stays with the people he cares about, those people suffer, like Jean.

However, if he is not with the people he cares about, they will still suffer, like Deakin's mother.

Upon hearing this somewhat familiar name, Peter remembered that Logan's son had appeared in this universe before. He was also one of the prisoners who escaped from Raft Prison and had not yet been brought to justice.

"However, if you're asking me what kind of organization they are, I really can't give you a very detailed answer. What I can tell you is that they are very ancient. I've seen them in the Pacific theater and also in Japan."

Logan tried his best to recall the details about the Hand. After the captain went missing, he was assigned to a unit in the Pacific theater to fight the Japanese. He was then captured on the battlefield and imprisoned in a concentration camp in Hiroshima.

He was then rescued after the war and retired in Japan, where he lived for a long time. It was during that time that Logan had a child with a Japanese woman, Deakin.

So... he discovered that he wasn't actually very familiar with the Hand.

"The only thing I know is that these guys are no different from the Japanese during the war. They basically still maintain that kind of mentally unstable way of thinking from the war, which may be related to their soldiers."

The Hand's men are very special; they are not very strong, but they cannot be killed—because these soldiers are already dead.

It was precisely because of these undead soldiers that the Hand was able to maintain such a strong presence in Japan. Apart from that, Logan really didn't think there was anything else to care about with these guys.

"in addition……"

After carefully considering all the information about the Hand, Logan gave a piece of information that he was not entirely sure was accurate: "Although there is no evidence, I remember someone saying that the Hand in Japan in the past was more like a religious armed group. It was only during World War II that the Germans sent Hydra to support Japan, which transformed the Hand into what it is today."

Hydra again...

Peter frowned. The intensity and extent of Hydra's infiltration in 616 were still unclear. Apart from one thing that Peter was basically certain of, he was not sure about anything else: the infiltration that occurred in the 616 universe was definitely more outrageous than that in the MCU.

Roxon and the Hand are both connected to Hydra. Now, this organization, which has no high-level combat power whatsoever, seems to have become a kind of broker, connecting different bad guys together.

“I plan to work with Matt and his team to take down the Hydra agents who have come to New York. I would like to invite you to join us, since you are the only one with real combat experience who has actually fought against them.”

Logan simply nodded calmly after listening. For Logan, who was bored out of his mind, this was just a way to relax.

With the professor's return, he has even more free time, so Logan is now focusing his main efforts on searching for X23. However, things are not going very well. Although it is also related to Hydra, Logan cannot find any clues related to X23.

Going out to deal with the Hand, which may be connected to Hydra, at this time might not be a bad thing.

After Peter finished talking with Logan, he prepared to say goodbye. He walked out of Logan's room, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

It seems that the only option is to wait for the Defenders to investigate further and find out the enemy's location before launching a surprise attack.

No, that's not right. Although Spider-Man is fine now, Peter Parker is about to get busy. School starts soon, and Peter will be a sophomore in high school.

Although nothing actually changes, this will definitely keep Peter busy, with all sorts of activities and other related matters springing up like mushrooms after rain. "Perhaps this is also an opportunity for Peter Parker to return to his student life."

Peter walked down the corridor, pondering what to do about his second year of high school. Then he stopped and looked out at the children playing happily in the schoolyard.

"A normal high school life... I guess I'm out of luck."

"I agree."

The sudden sound interrupted Peter's reverie and almost startled him. Peter quickly turned around and saw Iliana leaning against the wall, eating an apple.

"You scared me to death."

"Really? Spider-Man would actually be scared to death by something like this? The whole of New York, especially Jonah Jameson, would probably be reporting on it all."

"Please don't! The thought that my own obituary might be produced by Jonah Jameson makes me feel terrible."

The two chatted casually, and Peter casually asked, "How's school life?"

Iliana's expression suddenly became very... strange.

"It's hard to say... If you've ever seen a school without winter or summer vacations, or where winter and summer vacations don't exist, you'll definitely feel like you're going to school every day. Many mutants don't have homes, or rather, they can't go home. A significant number of students' parents don't want to have a mutant child, so they're essentially leaving them with the Academy."

Another group, like Iliana, whose family lives in the academy, is a minority. The rest are mutants who can go home during winter and summer vacations.

"The situation for mutants will definitely get better and better, after all, there are more and more superpowered people in this world."

Iliana simply shrugged. She didn't feel a strong sense of belonging to the mutants, and neither the affairs of the X-Men nor the things at the academy really appealed to her.

"I wish something would happen to Strange..."

"Shouldn't we generally expect world peace?"

Iliana looked at Peter very seriously: "Do you really look forward to world peace?"

"Uh, what else?"

"Then why are you so busy every day?"

Peter thought about it very seriously and gave an unbelievable answer.

"Actually, I'm about to start school."

"???"

"What I mean is, I'm going to be even busier."

　I fell asleep last night, sorry.
