I'm not Spider-Man, even though I'm parasitized by an alien!

Chapter 71 Humans are never simple

"I...I don't understand."

Christine frowned as she looked at the distraught Ryan.

"There are some things I would advise you not to touch, such as what you have in your hand right now."

Ryan spoke as he walked toward her.

"I will explain to you about my violation of regulations, but now..."

He stopped and held out his hand to Christine. "Give me what you have in your hand."

Christine observed the other person's tense expression, and many questions arose in her mind.

Why is he so concerned about this thing?!

Is it important to you?

Christine hesitated before handing the item in her hand to Ryan.

"of course."

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the CT scan report.

These materials were left behind by him without Peter's consent.

If the other party finds out, my fate will definitely not be good.

Although the other person is an ordinary high school student, he will not be deceived by their appearance.

Lane even suspects that the Spider-Man appearing in New York City is actually Peter Parker!

The fact that the embryo on the other person's chest had mutated into a spider shape made it hard for him not to make certain connections.

"Is this your patient's information?"

Christine glanced towards the door, ready to run away if anything went wrong.

"I'm sorry, I usually keep my patients' information confidential."

Ryan shook his head and took a step closer to Christine.

"But this is impossible; it exhibits characteristics contrary to all our understanding of science."

Christine took a deep breath, forcing herself to recover from the shock she had just experienced.

"what is this?"

"Whatever it is, it's none of your business, Dr. Palmer."

Ryan looked somewhat impatient.

He pointed to the door and said to Christine, "You should leave now."

Christine wanted to say something more, but seeing the other person's increasingly impatient expression, she ultimately remained silent.

After Christine left, Ryan closed the office door and went to his desk.

He opened the drawer, intending to put the documents inside.

But after hesitating for a moment, he walked up to the document shredder.

After turning on the machine, he inserted the CT scan sheet into the running machine.

As he watched the document being shredded into pieces, his unease gradually disappeared.

Even if Christine guesses something, as long as she destroys it, the secret will never be revealed.

This way, one can avoid getting burned.

"Is something on your mind, Christine?"

The next morning.

Strange looked at Christine, who had dark circles under her eyes, and said to her, "You don't look too well."

"I'm fine, I just had insomnia last night."

"Insomnia?"

Strange nodded. "Hmm, while as a doctor I can offer some appropriate advice, I think you might find it easier to accept from a psychological perspective."

"Okay, what's your opinion?"

As Strange changed into his work clothes, he said to her, "When you have insomnia, it's because you're awake in someone else's dream."

Christine put on a medical mask and glared at the other person. "You're a doctor, not some dream magician."

Strange disagreed, saying, "Psychology has many applications in neuroscience, and it's not all nonsense."

“Then let’s change our opinion—'Perhaps you need to take a break.' This is the most reasonable opinion after ruling out psychology.”

After changing into his work clothes, Strange walked towards the operating room with Christine, offering his advice to his partner.

"Need not."

Christine shook her head and suddenly stopped.

Strange stopped too, asking, "What's wrong?"

"I"

She hesitated for a moment, then asked Strange, "What do you think of Peter Parker?"

Why are you suddenly asking this question?

"Because you two look like you know each other very well."

"You can't assume we're friends just because he slapped me."

Strange took off his mask and took a breath of fresh air.

“I could sense that there was something hidden inside him. Maybe it was just an illusion, but he was definitely different from other teenagers.”

Christine nodded.

Could the being that keeps me awake all night be Peter Parker?

Midtown High School.

Peter realized something was wrong as soon as he stepped onto campus.

"One of the two most shocking events of the 21st century is the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Peter, do you know the other one?"

Before he could figure out what had happened, Gwen interrupted his thoughts.

"not sure what it is?"

Gwen was holding a newspaper in her hand. Looking at the words on it, she said to Peter, "Another thing is that two Spider-Men have appeared in New York."

After reading the news article above, Gwen's head peeked out from behind the newspaper.

"Everyone seems to be interested in Spider-Man."

Gwen put down the newspaper, and her mood brightened.

"etc."

Gwen soon discovered that the Daily Bugle seemed to be giving a negative review.

"Both of these events became household names through the mass media, and both of them revealed a terrible truth: while some things seem to have ended, others have already begun irreversibly, and the future is uncertain."

Gwen felt the newspaper was being sarcastic and unhelpful.

"If a comparison can be made, then the so-called superheroes, Spider-Man, are playing the role of Lee Harvey Oswald—the disaster triggerer."

Gwen's mood immediately soured.

"Fine, I hereby declare this newspaper permanently blacklisted."

She decided to permanently blacklist the newspaper.

Do you like Spider-Man?

Peter asked Gwen, who had put down her newspaper.

Which one are you referring to? Spider-Man or the new Spider-Man?

Gwen blinked, and before Peter could speak, she said, "Okay, I like them both."

"They are all special, and helping others is a really cool thing, isn't it?"

Gwen exhaled and continued, "Whether it's the bullying you've experienced before, or the bullying I often see, I've always wanted to help. If I had that power, I would also become special, so I like them."

She praised herself without batting an eye.

"Ah."

Peter nodded. "But that's the norm. Superheroes alone can rarely change anything."

"Birds will not save the self-esteem and self-image of a bird of lower social standing. They will not gently lift their kind up from the dust. On the contrary, they will immediately and ruthlessly drive it away."

Chapter 72 Gwen Who's Not Right

Gwen hesitated for a moment and said, "But this society is indeed very complicated, so complicated that sometimes I can't tell the difference."

She thought for a moment and said to Peter, "Take Josh, for example, who was killed by Frank and then trapped in the spider's nest. There's no doubt he was a bad guy. Many people think so, and that's something you and I both know."

"But at the memorial service, I saw that his neighbors and friends all thought he was a really good person."

“His parents said he decided to play professional football after graduating from college. He planned to pursue an English degree in college. He loved writing poetry, and six months before his death, one of his poems was published in the famous ‘little magazine’ Eiffel.”

"Well, although I have some doubts about his ability to get into university, I have to say he's very ambitious and seems to have a clear plan for his life."

Gwen said these things, which she heard from others at the memorial service. Although they seem unbelievable, they are probably true.

Gwen's eyes showed confusion. "But at school, he bullies his classmates, and he does it without any restraint. He even hit you. Sometimes I want to punch him in the face. So... is he a good person?"

"If it's a superhero, not being able to distinguish between justice and evil, good guys and bad guys, could lead to serious consequences."

Gwen is in a bad mood right now.

What if I can't distinguish between justice and wrong when I fight as Spider-Woman in the future?

Will I do something I'll deeply regret?
