The two men's laughter soon stopped, and as they talked about their recent situations, the topic gradually became serious. Peter's smile slowly faded, and his expression became extremely serious.

He looked directly at his best friend, his tone extremely solemn.

"Ned, the spider genes in my body have started to mutate, and the situation continues to worsen. No one can guarantee that I won't completely lose my mind later."

If one day I completely lose control and become a monster devoid of humanity, you must stop me.

If things get to the point of no return, I hope you will end my life yourself. I don't want to be driven by instinct to hurt people and wreak havoc on the world...

This resolute entrustment, though sounding like the typical teenage angst, actually carried Peter's deepest fears.

He was afraid of dying, but even more afraid of losing control and turning the glorious name of Spider-Man into a nightmare...

Looking into Peter's earnest eyes, Ned remained silent for a long time before finally nodding emphatically in agreement.

"I promise you, if that day ever comes, I will end you with my own hands!"

After the two sides finished making their vow-like agreement, Peter let out a long sigh of relief. With Ned's assurance that his strength had now surpassed his own, he finally felt a sense of peace.

At least, you don't have to live in constant fear that you'll lose control and cause an irreparable disaster.

Morgan: ...What kind of love-hate relationship is this between best buddies?

After a short rest, Morgan prepared to take Peter to the next stop, to see the person whose memories had been erased by the Oblivion Curse, yet who still had a deep bond with Peter...

……

In Queens, New York, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of a simple, cozy, and tidy house is shattered by a sudden appearance of golden sparks.

A portal with shimmering edges suddenly appeared in the center of the living room, its dazzling light causing Aunt Mei, who was tidying up the house, to freeze in place.

To her disbelief, two young figures stepped out of the portal one after the other and stood on the floor inside the room.

Aunt May's gaze immediately locked onto Morgan, who was leading the group. Even after so long, she still clearly remembered the girl who had saved her life.

When the pumpkin bomb was about to take her life, Morgan intervened and stopped the fatal attack, allowing her to survive the disaster.

"Starlight?" Aunt Mei asked instinctively, her tone tinged with surprise. Why would someone come to her house?

Upon hearing this, Morgan simply nodded slightly, said nothing more, and stepped aside to give up half a body space.

Peter, who had been hiding behind her, was revealed. His eyes were already slightly red, and his fingers were unconsciously curled up, avoiding Aunt May's gaze.

Morgan's trip is to help Peter rediscover Aunt May, which is of great significance to Peter, who has been living in loneliness for a long time, and may be able to slow down his deteriorating mental state...

Aunt May's gaze slowly fell on Peter. The boy in front of her was unfamiliar, and she had no memory of him whatsoever.

Yet, an inexplicable sense of familiarity lingered in her heart, like an instinctive pull between bloodlines, preventing her from feeling any sense of rejection.

In a daze, a warm tear slid down her cheek without warning. Aunt Mei raised her hand to wipe away the tear, her surprised expression softening.

"Child, you look exhausted, as if you've traveled a long way. Did you get lost and end up here?"

Aunt Mei spoke gently, with the kindness unique to adults, "I have a spare guest room at home. If you don't mind, you can stay here for a while."

The Oblivion Curse stripped Aunt May of all her memories of her nephew, but the kindness and familial instincts etched into her bones would not disappear.

Even though she couldn't recognize the boy in front of her, she still instinctively wanted to take in this young man who looked exhausted.

Upon hearing this, Peter stood still, his body trembling slightly.

Since being forgotten by the world, he has wandered this street countless times, gazing at the familiar little house from afar, watching Aunt May come and go, but he has never had the courage to push the door open and go in.

He was afraid that his mutated body would suddenly go out of control and hurt the elder who had once given him warmth. So, when faced with this sudden kindness, Peter subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Morgan stepped forward and covered Peter's mouth, interrupting his affected refusal.

She secretly complained to herself that Peter was too conflicted and overthinking. He clearly longed for this warmth, but he pretended to be distant and deliberately avoided it.

Morgan looked at Aunt May, who was full of doubt, and spoke first to answer for Peter:

"He's willing to stay for a while. There's one more thing, which will be considered as rent for his stay here."

As he spoke, Morgan activated his bracelet again, and a sleek, high-tech female nanotech armor appeared in his hand, hovering quietly in mid-air.

Aunt May's pupils contracted sharply the moment she saw the armor. The value of such a technological creation was immeasurable. To use it as rent?

This is absolutely outrageous...

"This is far too much. I simply wanted to take in this child; I wasn't after anything in return. I can't accept this gift."

Aunt Mei quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"Mei, this is nothing to me, please accept it."

Peter's current physical condition is unusual; he could go berserk at any moment. This suit of armor would not only protect you but also put his mind at ease, allowing him to settle down here without worry.

The specially made armor provides all-around protection, and with the Dutch Spider's street-level strength, it absolutely cannot harm Mei in the slightest.

Without giving the other party a chance to refuse, Morgan waved his hand, and the nanosuits instantly and automatically arranged themselves on May's body.

"Peter, you can stay here in peace. You know what nanosuits are all about. Mei has suits, so you should be at ease."

"This... thank you, Morgan..."

At this moment, besides saying thank you, Peter had no idea how to repay the other party. He had opened the door to help them in the past, but he had received such a reward in return.

Waaah, Morgan, I'm so sad, she's a true hero!

Galio, who shrunk down and stood on Morgan's shoulder: I knew I hadn't misjudged her, she really is a sunny girl!

Morgan: Phoenix is ​​in Spider-Man 4, right? I've only seen the trailer; I need to start planning ahead...

And so, Morgan's act of taking Peter home earned widespread praise from everyone...
