Just then, a silent sonic attack struck, sending the black Spider-Man flying again. He didn't crash into the car, and after the car quickly moved aside, Spider-Girl saw a glamorous woman dressed like a rock singer, with a purple ponytail, standing across the street smiling at her.
After seeing this, the Spider Girl frowned and asked, "Are you with this guy?"
The glamorous woman pulled a card from her chest and said, "No, I wasn't with that guy. I'm Ashma's B-level member, the Enchanting Voice Girl. I just happened to be around here when Miss Athena arranged for me to capture Black Spider-Man. Well, no, I should say I was the parasite that was infesting that guy."
"Parasites? What do you mean?" the spider girl asked, puzzled.
"It means exactly what it sounds like, but come to think of it, I don't recall ever seeing you in the association before. And your outfit seems to be exactly the same as that Spider-Man's. Do you two have some kind of connection?" The woman with the enchanting voice glanced at the seemingly unconscious black Spider-Man and asked as she approached.
“Spider-Man, he’s my mentor, but I haven’t seen him for several days. I saw this guy on the street today, and if it weren’t for the difference in height, I would have thought he was my mentor.” Spider-Girl glanced at the black Spider-Man and said in a deep voice, “I’ve been looking for my mentor for several days, but I haven’t found him. Plus, I don’t know how to contact Superman and the others, so I can only investigate this matter on my own.”
"Huh, this guy seems to have woken up." The woman with the melodious voice was about to say something when she saw the black Spider-Man seem to move slightly, which surprised her. She knew that most people would not be able to stand up after being hit by her sonic attack head-on, so how could she not be surprised?
"Ah, watch out!" But Spider-Girl saw something even stranger, because what she saw wasn't the black Spider-Man moving, but something moving on his body.
Chapter 313 The Vanished Spider-Man
The Mistress initially thought this mission would be quite simple, because Athena had previously mentioned that her abilities seemed to be able to counter the Black Spider-Man. Therefore, the Mistress didn't take the other party seriously, even though she knew that the real Spider-Man was an A-level superhero.
Because of her negligence, and because Athena didn't want to cause panic and therefore didn't tell her, the black Spider-Man was likely parasitized. So she didn't pay any attention to the black Spider-Man at all, and was stunned in place when faced with the sudden attack.
"Get down!" the spider girl shouted, kicking the black liquid flying in the air aside with a whip kick. Then, she looked at the black liquid clinging to her leg with a somewhat ugly expression.
"Wait, let me do it!"
The Enchanting Girl had regained her senses and unleashed a piercing sonic attack on the Spider Girl's leg. This sonic attack was just right to counteract the black liquid without harming the Spider Girl. As a result, the Spider Girl was unharmed, while the black liquid clinging to her leg seemed to have encountered its nemesis, emitting strange sounds as it fled away.
"Hmph, you fooled me once, but this time I won't let you get away!"
The Enchanting Girl's B-rank wasn't achieved through her looks. She transformed her sound waves into a bag-like structure, gathering the black liquid from all directions. Finally, she used this bag of sound waves to trap the liquid, which then stopped struggling and gradually transformed into a fist-sized crystal.
The Enchanting Girl looked at the crystal in her hand, but did not remove the sonic energy surrounding it, because she had already been tricked by this thing once, and did not want to be tricked by it again.
“I need to take this to the association headquarters and give it to Miss Athena. Do you want to come with me?” the enchanting woman asked.
After all, the news of Spider-Man's disappearance is no ordinary news. Spider-Man is a member of the Justice League, and even they couldn't get the news immediately. Instead, a girl claiming to be Spider-Man's disciple appeared. This in itself means that something is not simple.
"Oh, so after going to that association, I can see Superman?" Spider-Girl asked. "I thought it would be difficult to see him."
“It is indeed difficult to see him, but if there is any emergency, Miss Athena will inform him immediately.” The enchanting woman finished speaking and looked up, saying, “It seems he has already arrived.”
Upon hearing this, Spider-Girl looked up at the spot where the Enchanting Girl had just been looking, and soon saw Superman approaching from afar. She immediately smiled and waved, saying, "Now I can find my master."
As they were talking, Superman had already come to their side. Looking at the crystal lying quietly in the hands of the Enchanting Woman and the unconscious stranger on the other side, he paused slightly and asked, "Hello, ladies, um, is this the parasite in your hand?"
"Hello, Mr. Superman, um, I don't know if this is a parasite or not. It's a pity that Athena didn't tell me about its origin. But this thing really did parasitize that man before, and it almost parasitized Spider Girl just now." The Enchanting Girl was slightly taken aback when she heard the word "parasite," and then a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes as she looked at the crystal in her hand.
“Perhaps Athena didn’t want to frighten you, after all, most ladies seem to hate insects.” Adam smiled slightly, then took out a small star box from a spatial item on his belt and handed it to the Enchanting Lady, saying, “You can put the crystals you have here.”
Upon hearing this, the Enchanting Girl immediately put the crystal in her hand into the box. Then she saw Superman close the lid of the box and start wiping his hands with his clothes. It seemed that he really disliked things like insects. Well, even if this so-called insect was a crystal-shaped thing, it wouldn't be good for him.
At that moment, Spider-Girl looked at Superman and quickly said, "Superman, can you help me find my master?"
"Your master?" Superman asked, somewhat puzzled.
Although you could hear conversations here if you listened carefully, Superman rarely did so, since who knows what strange things he might hear. Therefore, Superman rarely used his super hearing when he was flying in the air.
"This kid said his master is Spider-Man. I thought he was talking about this guy, but it seems not." The woman with the enchanting voice shrugged and said, "But she said she's been looking for him for a week. Don't you know Spider-Man has disappeared?"
"You've been looking for a week?" Superman asked in surprise. "But I had Athena contact Spider-Man's girlfriend before I came here, and it seems they met this morning. I've also received several calls from him this week, and nothing seems out of the ordinary."
“So, there seems to be a problem here. Perhaps you could investigate.” After saying this, the enchanting woman glanced at her watch and said, “Since the mission is complete, I’ll be leaving now. I was originally planning to take this child to the association, but since you’re already here, there’s no need to go.”
“Okay, by the way, if possible, keep an eye on your surroundings. I think the parasites seem to have invaded our area. Contact Athena immediately if you find anything.” Superman glanced at the unconscious guy and said, “I’ll take this guy to the watchtower and see if we can find anything.”
"Uh, now that you mention it, I feel really uncomfortable. Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. But are these guys only allowed to be this one color?" the alluring woman asked.
“If our previous intelligence is correct, they are all one color, and although some parasites cannot change a person’s entire mind, they can amplify a person’s destructive desires.” After saying this, Superman said, “For example, if you see me wearing a black uniform one day, and I want to destroy everything I see, it means that I have been parasitized by a parasite, or that after I drove away a parasite, it copied my abilities and then controlled a poor wretch.”
"It's best if the situation you described doesn't happen, or the whole Earth will be doomed." The woman with the enchanting voice shuddered, then said very seriously, "I think you'd better carry a sonic weapon with you at all times, and keep it on all the time."
"Haha, I was just joking. Ever since I was parasitized last time, I've upgraded my suit so I won't be controlled by parasites anymore." Superman finished speaking and, seeing the expression on the woman's face, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I first encountered parasites a long time ago. Hmm, remember that meteorite impact event? That's when I met them. We destroyed most of the parasites back then. Sigh, this parasite must be one of the few that escaped from that incident."
"That's good. I really like my life now, and I don't want you to destroy the Earth." After saying that, the Enchantress turned to the Spider-Girl who had been standing obediently to the side and said, "Don't worry, now that Superman has appeared, your master will be found soon."
After speaking, the Enchantress left gracefully. Superman, seeing this, instructed Athena to prepare for teleportation, then pulled the unconscious man aside and said to Spider-Girl, "Don't worry, we've already found your master."
“Mr. Superman, I’ve been wondering if my master was ever infected by a parasite?” Spider-Girl asked.
“Possibly. By the way, when did you meet your master, and how did you develop your abilities?” Superman suddenly asked.
“Me? It seems like about six months ago, I went to play in that abandoned park and got pricked by something. Then I discovered that I had Spider-Man-like abilities. Hmm, right, my master said that my abilities seem to be different from his. I can shoot spider webs on my own, while my master seems to have artificial spider webs made of liquid metal.” Spider-Girl continued, “We first met when I was curious about getting Spider-Man abilities and was practicing on my own when my master happened to see me.”
"Really? It seems you two are really destined for each other. Alright, I have to go!" Superman said to Spider-Girl after receiving a message from Athena.
"Ah, where are we going? Is it the Justice League's Watchtower?" Spider-Girl suddenly asked excitedly.
“Yes, that’s it. Once we get there, we can question this man. I’ve already had Athena start investigating Spider-Man. We’ll have the results when we get there.” After saying that, Superman carried the unconscious man in one hand and placed the other hand on Spider-Girl’s shoulder. Then, the three of them were teleported away by the watchtower’s guiding light, leaving only the citizens who were watching the spectacle and taking pictures.
Chapter 314 Interrogation
Geostationary orbit, observation tower
A light shone in the teleportation room, and then Superman appeared there with Spider-Girl and the unconscious man.
“Welcome back, Master. Oh, welcome to the Watchtower, girl!” Athena’s holographic image appeared before them, smiling slightly.
"Hmm, have you found the previous information?" Adam asked.
"I'm organizing the data now, and I'll bring it to the conference room later," Athena said, then added, "Oh, by the way, Tony's here too, doing an experiment in the lab."
“Okay, got it. I’ll go lock this guy up. You take care of our guest.” Adam said, then turned to the spider girl and said, “Go with Athena. Hmm, I’ll wake this guy up and ask him a few questions. I don’t think you’d want to see that.”
"You're going to use vigilante justice? But that's wrong." The Spider Girl's expression changed as she spoke.
"Don't worry, it's not what you think. We're just using scientific methods to get the information we need," Adam waved his hand and said, "But you probably wouldn't want to see that kind of scene."
"Isn't it said that Professor X or Phoenix can easily read people's minds?" Spider-Girl asked curiously, "Why do you need to ask others using such methods?"
“Some simple questions don’t need to bother them. Besides, professors generally don’t like to pry into other people’s minds, saying it’s disrespectful,” Adam shrugged.
After Adam finished speaking, he carried the man into the elevator next to him, and then took the elevator to a room specifically for interrogating prisoners. He threw the man onto a chair, then put a special device on him, and began the interrogation.
Yes, that's right. He lied to Spider-Girl. Although he brought her into the Watchtower, he still didn't quite trust her. After all, Spider-Man's abilities were obtained through his father's research on interspecies inheritance, which involved various experiments on Peter Parker, combined with the genes of the special spiders he personally bred. As for the girl's claim of being pricked by something, well, that sounds like utter nonsense to most people.
So, Adam subconsciously suspected the girl who suddenly appeared, and since Spider-Man had just disappeared, he secretly ordered Athena on the way to investigate Spider-Girl's background. Of course, this was just suspicion, so she didn't go too far.
Alright, getting back to the main topic, the current issue is to interrogate this man who has been parasitized and possesses abilities similar to Spider-Man, and well, Spider-Man's sassy personality has also been copied along with him. So after Adam prepared everything, he pressed a button in the interrogation room, and the device on the man's head emitted a slight fluctuation, instantly waking the man up.
“Hello sir, it seems you’re quite right,” Adam said calmly, looking at the other person.
"Where is this place? You...you're Superman? Why am I here?" The man quickly asked several questions.
"First, this is a watchtower. Second, I'm the only one here who can ask questions. As for you, you'd better think about how to answer my questions," Adam said calmly.
"Watchtower, how did I get here? What happened?" The man's emotions were rising, and he almost shouted, "Let me go back, I have a lot to do."
"Name!" Adam didn't answer the other person's question, but asked directly.
Upon hearing this, the man instantly flew into a rage and tried to refuse to cooperate with the questioning, but somehow he ended up revealing his name.
"John Connors!"
“Hmm, the name of the savior, very good. So what do you do for a living?” Adam asked.
“I’m a truck driver. I remember I was getting ready to deliver this morning, but I don’t know why I ended up here,” John Connors said, seemingly having calmed down.
"Oh, I see. So, do you remember how many people are in your family?" Adam continued, seemingly in no hurry to ask about the parasites.
“At home? I have a wife and a daughter. Hmm, my darling, a very beautiful child.” John said, a happy smile appearing on his face.
Adam cursed the parasite inwardly, but asked without changing his expression, "So, do you still remember the places we visited before today?"
"Where have you been? I went to the company the day before yesterday because my contract was about to expire and needed to be renewed. Then I had an argument with that damn guy over some issues." John frowned slightly, started thinking, and then carefully recounted what he had done in the past few days.
As Adam listened to the other person, he compared what they said with the information on the computer, searching for relevant video materials as John Connors had instructed. He chatted with John Connors while searching for information, but found that none of the things the other person had done in the past few days could have caused him to be infected by the parasite.
"Is that all the information?" Adam asked softly.
“Yes, Master, based on everything he said, and almost all the information I could find, it’s clear that the parasite wasn’t infected in the last few days. It must have been infected today. Perhaps we should start questioning about today’s events.” Athena’s voice rang in Adam’s ears.
“Well, hopefully his memory hasn’t been interfered with by the parasite.” Adam said, pressing a button, and then continued, “So, Mr. John, do you remember what happened today? Well, let’s start from when you woke up.”
"Hmm, what happened today? Let me think about it." John pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying, "I remember after I got up, well, my wife made dinner because I needed to ship some goods today, so I left early."
As Adam listened, he watched the video footage Athena had found. Indeed, judging from the morning's events, Mr. John Connors seemed perfectly normal, even sharing a passionate kiss with his wife as he left the house.
"And then what? Where did you go?" Adam asked.
"Um, after I left, I went to the company and waited there for the goods to be loaded. And then, well, that's it. I can't remember anything." John Connors frowned and said, "What's wrong with me? Did something happen?"
"It's alright, I already know." After saying that, Adam pressed a button, and John Connors' head lolled to the side and he fell into a deep sleep.
“It seems that this happened around that time.” Adam said, looking at the video that Athena had brought up. “But in that case, it seems there are no clues left. It’s not what I thought. John Connors knows nothing about parasites.”
“That’s true. The parasite seems to have just picked someone randomly, but why would it do that? Doesn’t that completely expose it?” Athena asked.
“We don’t have enough information right now, so we can’t make any conclusions,” Adam said after a moment of thought. “It seems we’ll have to go and see the scene before we can make any decisions.”
"Shall we go now?" Athena asked.
"Of course not, there's still the Spider-Girl issue that hasn't been resolved yet," Adam stood up and said, "And Spider-Man's matter is also a thorny issue. By the way, how's the information I asked you to look up coming along?"
“Regarding Spider-Girl, I did some research and roughly found out her identity. Oh, right, I also found a video of her training with Spider-Man. Maybe she really is Spider-Man’s apprentice. But there’s something tricky about Spider-Man. I asked the other superheroes, and Spider-Man hasn’t appeared for a while, but the video footage shows that he goes home on time every day, goes to class, and goes on dates.” Athena said, pulling up the data. “But his social circle seems to consist only of Peter Parker, and everything related to Spider-Man seems to have nothing to do with him anymore. It’s very strange.”
"It seems we'll have to investigate step by step," Adam said in a deep voice. "Yes, notify the Alliance personnel to come to the conference room immediately!"
Chapter 315 The Investigation Begins
When Adam walked from the interrogation room into the conference room, he found Spider-Girl talking to Christine about Spider-Man. When she saw Adam come in, she immediately asked about the matter she was concerned about.
“Mr. Superman, how’s your interrogation going? Any news about my master?” Spider-Girl asked.
"Sorry, we don't have any news about your master yet, but we'll try to contact him later. Don't worry, we'll let you know if we have any updates," Adam said, knowing that the other party didn't know Spider-Man's true identity.
"My master himself? You mean my master didn't disappear, but just didn't want to continue being Spider-Man?" Spider-Girl asked疑惑地.
“We don’t know yet, we haven’t been able to contact him.” Adam said to Spider Girl, “We will send someone to him later to inquire about the situation, and we will let you know then.”
"Um, can't I come along?" the spider girl asked.
“I’m sorry, but everyone’s identity is top secret unless they choose not to reveal it. So even if you are his disciple, you cannot go to see him,” Adam said, shaking his head.
Although there are now many superheroes, most of them are still unwilling to reveal their identities. After all, once others know their identities, they will be under scrutiny like celebrities. What's even more troublesome than celebrities is that their enemies or terrorists often kidnap the family members or friends of these superheroes whose identities have been exposed, using this method to threaten them.
As for the Justice League, apart from the veteran members whose identities are almost transparent, Adam didn't pressure the other new members or those like Spider-Man who didn't want to reveal their identities. After all, everyone has their own unspeakable reasons, and if you pressure them too much, they won't be partners.
The Justice League has grown to its current size, no longer consisting of just a few people. New superheroes have continuously joined the organization after passing various tests, making it a large superhero organization with nearly thirty members. Of course, these thirty-odd people are not the core; the true core members, including the new members, number only seven.
