The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 152 Is this coquettishness or sarcasm?

More than ten?

Du Mu was slightly startled.

Based on this number, excluding the local Spider-Man on Miles' server, and even including the evil versions of Spider-Man, Doomsday Spider-Man and Spider-Man Patton, there are only eight Spider-Men who have appeared so far.

In other words, there are at least two Spider-Men from other servers who have never shown up.

Du Mu immediately pressed on, "Did Kingpin's side also find no trace of other Spider-Men?"

The Wanderer shook his head: "No, he only found the two Spider-Man helpers. One of them was robbing a passerby in an alley and brutally murdering him, while the other broke into someone's house and ate a family of four alive."

Clearly, the former he was referring to was Spider-Man from Apocalypse, while the latter was Spider-Man Patton.

The loitering man spoke with obvious disgust in his tone.

He thought he was already a big villain, but he never expected that these Spider-Men, once they turned bad, would be several levels more evil than him, a supervillain!

In comparison, this universe's Spider-Man can practically be called a modern-day saint!

As the Wanderer thought about this, a sense of relief welled up in his heart. Luckily, their Spider-Man wasn't like these evil versions of Spider-Man, otherwise these supervillains probably wouldn't have enough lives.

The Spider-Men frowned upon hearing the Wanderer's words.

Especially after hearing that the family of four had been eaten alive, he clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could tear the spider demon Patton to pieces!
Unfortunately, they are partners in justice, and resorting to vigilante justice is unacceptable.
Click!

A dazzling magic sword flashed, severing the spider demon Patton's left ear along with both arms, dark red blood splattering everywhere.

"what--!!"

The spider demon Patton let out a heart-wrenching scream, his remaining body convulsing violently.

All eyes turned to Du Mu.

He casually dispelled the magic sword, his tone calm and dismissive.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Everyone: "."

"Honestly, be careful. I'll let it go this time, but don't do it again next time."

Peter B was the first to react, and with a stern face, he severely criticized Du Mu for his carelessness.

"Exactly, how could you be so careless?"

"I'll stand up for the other party. All you have to do is say sorry—no, just blink—and it'll be over."

"Actually, both sides are responsible. Neither of them has had an easy time. Please give me some face and let it go."

"."

The Spider-Men took turns speaking, ostensibly condemning Du Mu's mistake, but in reality, every word they uttered was an attempt to exonerate him.

Miles, the least experienced of the three, clearly still needs to hone his acting skills; his facial expressions were almost impossible to maintain.

The wanderer watched this scene, his eyelids twitching incessantly.

So this is the style of Spider-Man?
"That was so careless!"

The Wanderer wanted to say that it was shameless, but before he could finish speaking, a group of Spider-Men's spider-senses activated instantly, and several pairs of fierce eyes looked over at him at the same time. In the end, he could only change his mind.

He felt relieved once again, thankful that their universe's Spider-Man wasn't like that, otherwise these supervillains wouldn't stand a chance against him.

Thinking of this, the Wanderer couldn't help but miss Spider-Man from this universe.

Spider, I miss you!
The accident was hastily closed with just a few words from the Spider-Men.

Apart from Patton, the Spider-Man involved, everyone else believes that there are no doubts in this case, and the whole process was fair, just and open.

Gwen coughed a few times, steer the conversation back on track: "Speaking of which, since at least two other Spider-Men were also transported to this universe, why haven't they shown up yet?"

"Don't they know what happened here?"

Miles scratched his head and suggested a possibility.

"impossible."

Peter B immediately refuted this, saying, "Even if they didn't know the situation when they first arrived, they would soon be just like us, rejected by this spacetime, and would eventually actively seek out clues."

Penny said, "What if they weren't ostracized like Du Mu?"

Since arriving in this universe, the Spider-Men have been experiencing spacetime repulsion reactions from time to time.

Peter B and Spider-Man Noir, in particular, perhaps because they look exactly like Peter Parker in this universe, experienced the most intense rejection.

In contrast, Du Mu didn't react at all from beginning to end, as if he wasn't Spider-Man.

Spider-Man Noir said in a deep voice, "Unlikely. I'm more inclined to believe they're deliberately hiding themselves."

As a renowned detective in his universe, he possesses a sharper logical reasoning ability than others.

Miles worriedly said, "This doesn't sound like the style of a good guy. Could those Spider-Men be a corrupted version of Peter Parker?"

Peter B: "."

What do you mean by "darkened version of me"? I have absolutely nothing to do with them!

"Anyway, let's find them first."

Du Mu naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to find the remaining Spider-Men, as it was related to his dungeon rewards.

The Spider-Men all agreed with this.

If the other party is a Spider-Man from the same friendly, lawful camp as them, then it doesn't matter.

But now that they've witnessed the extreme dangers of Spider-Man and Spider-Man Patton, they dare not risk assuming that other unseen Spider-Men might be the same.

If there were more evil versions of Spider-Man, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for ordinary people in this universe.

As superheroes, Spider-Men cannot ignore potential threats, pretend nothing happened, and simply walk away, each going their own way.
After a brief discussion, they developed a new action plan.

A team consisting of Du Mu, Penny, and Spider-Man Noir is tasked with finding the other Spider-Men.

Peter B, Gwinn, and Polk form another team whose mission is to capture Kingpin and seize control of the super particle collider.

Now Kingpin's supervillains are almost all wiped out, leaving only himself and Ms. Octopus as his two fighting forces. Three Spider-Men are more than enough to deal with them, not to mention that there's also the comedic character, Poker.

As for Miles, he failed in his attempt to awaken his powers by sacrificing his uncle, so he had to stay behind to keep an eye on the two evil Spider-Men.

Of course, it's not very reliable to consider Miles as a rookie Spider-Man.

Therefore, Du Mu specially arranged for the Wanderer to assist him from the side. The Wanderer's affection for Miles was beyond doubt, and he would not stand idly by and watch Miles fall into a dangerous situation.

Furthermore, the Wanderer has the Spider-Man debuff, which means he will automatically shield Miles from damage even in dangerous situations.

It can be said that Miles was basically safe until the Prowler died.

Wanderer: "."

With the intelligence provided by Miles, the Spider-Men had already determined the exact location of the super particle collider.

Without hesitation, Peter B immediately set off for his destination.

Meanwhile, Du Mu's team also began searching for other Spider-Men.

Penny and Spider-Man Noir fully utilize their respective expertise: one uses her superb hacking skills to infiltrate the city's surveillance network, while the other uses his years of detective experience to find clues.

Du Mu also used his specialty, which was to slack off, and dumped the task on the two of them.

Just after the wanderer was successfully treated, his system also issued a notification sound.

[Mission 'Life or Death' Completed]

[Rewards: 1000 EXP, 30 Miles Friendship, Anchor Point Fragment *1, Item 'Aegis TM'] [Item: Aegis TM (Can only be used on Pokémon. After use, the Pokémon will automatically learn the move 'Aegis,' which greatly reduces the opponent's aggression and attack power for a period of time)]

The good news is that this is a tool that allows you to learn new skills.

The bad news is that this item can only be used by Pokémon, and it's for a seemingly useless skill like Charm.

The worse news is that Max is currently the only Pokémon he has.

Du Mu: "."

Should we teach Max, the black boss, to act cute and charming?

Just imagining that scene is terrifying!
As a normal player, Du Mu naturally acted on this idea without hesitation!

"Come out, Max!"

Du Mu threw out a pure iron Poké Ball and summoned Max.

Before the other party could figure out what was going on, he threw the newly acquired skill learning machine at them.

"Use this."

Max instinctively caught the prop, only to find that the learning machine in his hand suddenly turned into a streak of light and disappeared.

The next moment, a method for using the 'coquettish' skill inexplicably appeared in his mind.

Max: "???"

It felt like something unclean had forced its way into his mind!

Du Mu crossed his arms and said with great interest, "Max, try using your charm."

"I reject!"

Max shook his head desperately, refusing to yield even unto death.

"When we get back, I'll put you on the front page of a week's newspaper."

"Pikachu~!"

Max let out a strange cry and made an indescribable expression.

Max: (≧≦)
Hard!

The fist is hard!

Du Mu clenched his fists, his aura flared, and he felt an urge to kill the other man.

Wasn't the agreement to significantly reduce the opponent's desire and intensity of attack?
It seems like his aggression is even stronger now!
Is this playful teasing or sarcasm?
But I have to say, this skill is really something.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer visual impact of this mentally disturbing spectacle alone is enough to inflict indelible damage on the enemy.

Du Mu suppressed his inner impulse and quickly put Max back into the pure iron Poké Ball.

Meanwhile, Penny and Spider-Man Noir seem to have found a clue.

Penny said seriously, "I found out that there have been several missing persons cases in Brooklyn and Hell's Kitchen recently, right after the Super Particle Collider was activated. The police have not found the killer yet, but a lot of blood and bones have been found at multiple scenes."

Spider-Man Noir continued, "These are definitely not ordinary murders. Judging from the pattern of the bloodstains, the victims didn't have time to put up any effective resistance, which means the killer has extraordinary skills and speed."

"But strangely, all the crime scenes lacked complete bodies, as if the killer had taken away chunks of flesh, or perhaps... eaten them!"

Du Mu asked, "Do you think these disappearances are most likely the work of other Spider-Men?"

"That's right!"

Spider-Man Noir nodded: "The clues left at the scene all point to a killer with superhuman powers. Considering that the time of the crime matches perfectly, it is highly likely that this was caused by a Spider-Man from another universe."

His tone was somewhat serious.

If this hypothesis is correct, then they must prepare for the worst.

These remaining Spider-Men are very likely to be evil versions of Spider-Men, perhaps even more cruel and dangerous than Spider-Man from Apocalypse and Spider-Man Patton!

“Even if he’s not a Spider-Man from another universe, we can’t just ignore it,” Penny added.

The Spider-Man of this universe has already sacrificed himself, and Miles, as the new Spider-Man, still needs time to grow and gain experience by fighting a few supervillains. He is not yet ready to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Right now, only experienced Spider-Men like them have the ability to stop this superhuman killer from continuing to harm innocent citizens.

The NPC Spider-Men have given you a new mission.

[Mission: The Source of the Plague]

[Objective: A terrifying plague is about to spread in New York. Investigate the truth as soon as possible and stop this transdimensional plague from spreading further.]

[Rewards: 3000 EXP, 3 Anchor Point Fragments, 1 Random Equipment, 1 Random Item]

plague?

Upon seeing this task notification, Du Mu suddenly sensed that things were not so simple.

"Come with me, I've found a clue using magic."

Du Mu suddenly spoke, then turned and walked outside.

Penny and Spider-Man Noir exchanged a glance. Although they were a little confused, they didn't ask any questions based on their trust in their companion and immediately followed.

Following the mission instructions, Du Mu, with the help of the web-shooting device on his Spider-Man suit, swung along with two Spider-Men to a slightly dilapidated meat processing plant in Hell's Kitchen.

"Are you sure we're here?" Spider-Man Noir asked.

"determine."

Du Mu squinted.

Within his field of vision, on the small map that only he could see, were countless red dots flashing.

Without hesitation, he kicked the rusty factory gate.

Bang! !

A loud crash resounded as the door was forced open!

Accompanying this was an intense, nauseating smell of blood and decay that instantly assaulted the nostrils!

Du Mu and Spider-Man immediately covered their noses, while Penny, hiding inside the Spider-Man suit, was unaffected.

The factory was extremely dimly lit, with only a few incandescent bulbs hanging high above providing a faint light source. From the shadows, some faint, strange noises could be heard, and the whole atmosphere was like a scene from a horror movie.

I have a feeling that some hideous monster might pounce out of the shadows at any moment.

Following the typical horror movie formula, Du Mu and his companions should slowly venture inside at this point, only to be attacked by monsters lurking in the shadows.

But Du Mu never liked to play by the rules, and a magic sword instantly materialized in his hand.

Lighting magic!
In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth, dispelling the surrounding darkness completely!

Everything hidden in the darkness was suddenly exposed.

Wherever the light reached, it illuminated figures in contorted postures.

They were ragged, covered in blood and gore, and their skin was a deathly bluish-gray.

What's terrifying is that these things, which look like corpses, are actually still moving!

They were buried in the ground, frantically tearing and gnawing at the corpses on the ground, making eerie chewing sounds.

Zombies?

Upon seeing this scene, a word involuntarily came to Du Mu's mind.
