Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 54: Dr. Lizard Bewitched by the Devil
When Hawke and Gwen came to the second floor.

Dr. Lizard has disappeared, replaced by Dr. Connors, who has returned to human form, but the injury on his chest is still there and is irreversible.

Blood was oozing from the corner of Dr. Connors' mouth, but he forced a smile as he looked at Hawke walking towards him.

"Thank you!"

"..."

Hawke said nothing, but looked at Dr. Connors and raised an eyebrow.

Gwen, who was standing by, asked in confusion, "Doctor, why are you trying to kill me?"

She couldn't understand.

If Dr. Connors is looking for Spider-Man because of the Williamsburg Bridge incident.

If Dr. Connors wanted blood, he should have gone to Hawke.

But why stare at her?

Leaning against the wall, Dr. Connors, who had no strength left, listened to Gwen's question and chuckled.

But as his chest rose and fell, a hint of blood red appeared on Dr. Connors' pale face. With a "pu" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his breath became extremely weak.

Dr. Connors, who was already on his deathbed and about to close his eyes forever, uttered the last words of his life.

"I do not know either."

"possible……"

"I have been bewitched by the devil."

"right……"

“…I can’t bear it!”

"Boom!"

As Dr. Connors finished these words reluctantly, he closed his eyes completely and his one-armed left hand fell to the floor with a crisp thud.

Dr. Connors, die!
Seeing this, Hawke withdrew his gaze from Dr. Connors's body and said to the spider spirit standing beside him, "Why don't you leave?"

Peter, who was still in shock that Dr. Connors was taken away with just one punch, came to his senses and looked at Hawke.

"how about you."

"The man was killed by the spider spirit. What does it have to do with me, Hawke?"

"I'm not a spider spirit."

"Then you spider silk..."

"I go first."

Without any nonsense, Peter turned around, shot out a spider silk, turned in the air, poked the glass window on the ceiling with his toes, and went out through the window and disappeared from Hawke and Gwen's sight.

at this time.

Gwen also reacted, as if she thought of something, exclaimed, and then pulled Hawke towards the monitoring room in the library downstairs.

"No, surveillance."

"Don't worry, it wasn't captured."

"what."

"The place where I attacked just now was a blind spot. I could only see Dr. Lizard flying backwards, but I couldn't see who attacked him."

Hawke explained with a smile as Gwen pulled him downstairs.

This may be God's will.

He really didn't care about being exposed or not. When he made his move, he didn't know that place was a blind spot. He only found out after he made his move.

Then it’s none of his business.

Maybe, possibly, God felt that it was not time for him to be exposed.

If there is a God.

After half an hour.

The New York Police Department carried out Dr. Connors, whose body was already dead and cold, from the library.

Sergeant George Stacy of Manhattan's 19th Precinct also arrived at the scene.

"Gwen!"

George got out of the car, ran straight to Gwen, and hugged Gwen: "Thank God, you are okay."

“Dad.” After breaking free from George’s embrace, Gwen glanced at Hawke, then took Hawke’s right hand and said to George, “Hawk protected me.”

George then looked at Hawke.

Hawke still greeted politely.

"Mr. Stacy."

"Thank you."

Unlike last time when he ignored Hawke, this time George nodded slightly and said thank you to Hawke.

Hawke smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

George didn't say anything. He glanced at Gwen and Hawke, who were arm in arm in front of him, and then said to Gwen, "Call Helen. She's very worried after the news that Midtown High School was attacked by lizardmen."

Gwen then remembered that she had forgotten to call her mother. She exclaimed, then quickly took out her cell phone from her pocket and called her mother Helen.

After Gwen ran aside to make a phone call, George stood beside Hawke, looking at Dr. Connors who was put into a body bag not far away: "So, Dr. Lizard is Dr. Connors, but why is he here at school?"

Hawke's heart moved, and he shook his head without any expression: "I don't know."

He was thinking about what Dr. Connors said before he died.

Bewitched by the devil.

Good guy.

What kind of demon could have bewitched Dr. Connors to ignore Spider-Man, with whom he had a fight on the Williamsburg Bridge, and Hawke, whose blood seemed very important to him, and instead make the harmless Gwen his primary target?

That doesn't make sense.

Unless this demon isn't some serious demon.

Hawke thought silently in his heart.

pity……

Dr. Connors is dead, and I'm afraid we will never know the answer to this question.

soon.

After reporting to her mother Helen that she was safe, Gwen walked over with ease and naturally took Hawke's arm: "I've reported to my mother that I'm safe."

George watched his daughter's natural movement out of the corner of his eye, the corners of his mouth twitched secretly, and then he prepared to leave.

He had to leave, as he was afraid that he would lose control and shoot Hawke.

Half an hour later, with the departure of Sheriff George Stacy of the Queens Precinct and the 19th Precinct of the New York Police Department, Midtown High School also announced that school would be dismissed early today.

The students, who were still in shock from the Spider-Man vs. Lizard fight, immediately came out of their shock after hearing this decision. After shouting that the school was wise, they ran towards the parking lot like wild horses.

Hawke also shook his head, too lazy to think about why Dr. Connors did this.

All are dead.

It’s useless to think about it any more.

weekend.

Because it was the weekend, Hawke stayed at home in his new apartment. He connected the computer that Skye sold him to the hotspot of the mobile phone that his girlfriend gave him, and was surfing the Internet.

He took advantage of the weekend when he had some time to rest and planned to search online to see if he could sell the five swords hidden under his bed that he had collected from killing the Chitauri soldiers.

It won’t work if it doesn’t sell.

He had to find a way to make money, otherwise, even if he wanted to attend the graduation ball, he probably wouldn't have enough money to buy a dress.

Although theoretically he is no longer short of money.

but……

After the Spider-Girl was evilened by Venom, her worst evil thought was to buy a discounted suit.

Hawke felt that he was not as morally sound as the first generation Spider-Spider, but at least he couldn't be much worse than the first generation Spider-Spider.

Just as he was searching online for sales channels.

There was a snapping sound outside the window.

Hawke looked up.

The spider spirit who was just thinking about it was clinging to his window and looking inside from the emergency stairs outside.
