When Spider-Woman's Triangle Chuhua Meets Doctor Octopus Toyokawa Shoko

After being stared at by the eyes of judgment filled with hellfire, the Sand Man let out a horrifying scream.

His past crimes came crashing down on him one by one, causing Sandman's soul to become increasingly broken.

Until finally, the Sandman stopped screaming, and the hollow body was lifeless. After the Ghost Rider let go, it turned into dust in the sky and drifted away with the wind.

Looking at the horrifying scene in front of him, cold sweat broke out on Chu Hua's forehead.

At this moment, she was already subdued by the opponent's pressure, her legs felt as heavy as lead and she could not move.

At the same time, Ghost Rider also turned his attention to Chu Hua.

Volume 20: Book of Fears: . Historia (Stories)

Chu Hua had heard of the legend of the Ghost Rider, but she had never seen one with her own eyes.

These chosen ones, possessed by the spirit of vengeance, serve as punishment from heaven to judge all the sins of the world.

It is said that Ghost Rider's Eye of Judgment can expose all sins, and only the innocent can survive.

And now, it seems that the other party wants to make himself suffer the eye of judgment as well.

If the idea of ​​wanting to rescue the sand man just now was just the practice of his own "no killing principle", then Chu Hua's current intention to escape was completely his survival instinct.

Facing his past, Chu Hua felt that he could not have a clear conscience.

But the pressure from the flaming skeleton opposite has made escape a luxury, and Chu Hua seems to have no choice but to wait for the final outcome.

One step, two steps, Ghost Rider gradually approached Spider-Woman.

Just when Chu Hua felt that his death was imminent, the Ghost Rider squatted down and checked the injuries of the two pilots who were implicated by the Sandman's chaos.

After seeing their wounds being treated by the silver-white spider silk, Chu Hua felt that the other party's hostility towards him seemed to have decreased a lot.

The hellfire on the Ghost Rider's body gradually died down, flesh and blood began to condense again on the white bones, and his clothing changed from a one-piece motorcycle suit and jacket to a simple shirt and jeans.

Her long black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her purple eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity.

Right in front of Chuhua, the Ghost Rider shed his terrifying appearance and turned into a very beautiful woman.

And this face always made Chuhua feel a little familiar.

After the other party untransformed, Chu Hua was finally able to move.

Spider-Woman was just about to seize this finally presented opportunity to slip away, but the familiar-looking woman in front of her suddenly called out to Chu Hua.

"Black and white tights, spider logo, the ability to shoot spider silk... Are you the legendary Spider-Woman?"

"Do you know me?" Chu Hua was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he, who basically only appeared in the late night when there were no people around, still had so many fans.

"Tokyo's only 'superhero'—that's a name that rings loud everywhere." The woman laughed softly, then a hint of melancholy. "At least it's better than someone like me."

"Um, well, I haven't asked for your name yet."

"Emmmm, Maki, just call me Maki."

After saying that, Maki turned around and jogged in a certain direction.

Chu Hua noticed that the other party was trying to pick up his car which had been thrown to the side by the collision.

When Maki returned to Chuhua, Chuhua was silent for a moment.

From the rumors she had heard, the mounts that Ghost Rider rode were generally of a cool style.

For example, there are supercars worth millions, specially modified motorcycles that can reach speeds exceeding 300 miles per hour, and even those legendary Thunderbolt horses that can run a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night, which are extremely cool and powerful...

Chu Hua only just noticed that the Ghost Rider in front of him was riding a small electric scooter.

The electric vehicles produced by the Mujica Group are known for their good quality and low price.

This really doesn't fit in with the previous image of the domineering Death Messenger...

But Miss Maki didn't seem to pay much attention to Chuhua's expression. After sending the location of the two victims to the nearest police robot, she got on her electric scooter and prepared to leave.

But before he had walked a few meters, he stopped, looked at the sun hanging high above his head, turned back to look at Spider-Woman who was standing there in a daze, and extended a small invitation.

"It's already noon, why don't you come to my new home and have lunch together?"

……

The apartment that Ms. Maki is currently renting doesn't look very luxurious.

On the contrary, it looks quite simple, with only one room, one bedroom and one bathroom, covering an area of ​​no more than 30 square meters.

Chuhua sat down on the only small sofa in the living room and watched Maki prepare lunch in the kitchen quietly.

She felt like she should find some topic to talk about, but she really couldn't think of any questions to ask.

Maki had just peeled a washed potato and cut it into thin strips with a brand new kitchen knife. She put the potato into the pot, added some ingredients and stir-fried it for a while. Then, a plate of steaming hot vinegar-fried potato strips was served on the table.

Maki used her skilled cooking skills to make a few side dishes. From the tempting aroma from the pot, it can be seen that she, like Chuhua, usually cooks for herself at home.

When all the dishes were served on the table, Maki began to serve Hatsuka.

"I don't have many guests here, so please forgive me if I haven't been able to entertain you well."

"Well...I haven't been to other people's homes very often..."

Chu Hua was being polite while lifting a corner of her mask to expose her mouth so that she could taste the warmth from her host.

"Speaking of which, I've already treated you to a meal, but I still can't get you to take off your mask?" Maki couldn't help laughing when she saw the other person's strange and wary look.

"Emmmm..." Chu Hua hesitated and could only answer, "Sorry, Spider-Woman never takes off her mask in front of others."

"Okay, okay, everyone has their own little secrets, and I don't intend to pry." Maki took a mouthful of rice and put it into her mouth. "I'm just a little curious, what brought Spider-Woman, who only performs heroic deeds in Tokyo, here?"

After hearing what Maki said, Chuhua was choked and didn't know how to respond. He could only forcefully shovel two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

I had never thought about leaving Tokyo to see if anyone needed help, and Chuhua came out this time with the idea of ​​doing more for Xiangzi.

But Chuhua did not become Spider-Woman for Xiangzi. When did her behavior and ideals begin to deviate like this?

Is it because Tokyo is so peaceful? Or is it because the Mujica Group has spies all over the city? Or is it simply because of Xiangzi...

"It seems like you haven't even thought this through?" Seeing Chuhua's hesitation, Zhenxi said while eating, "How about listening to my story?"

The story of Ghost Rider? It would be a lie to say Chu Hua wasn't curious at all. She truly wanted to know why, despite possessing such terrifying power, he seemed content with mediocrity, not making a name for himself in this chaotic world.

-----------------

“If I were to tell my story, it would probably have to start with my birth.”

"I was born in the upper city of Tokyo, ruled by the Toyokawa family... Oh, don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean I have a particularly wealthy family. On the contrary, my parents were both slaves in the upper city, but they didn't work in the factory. One of them worked as a maid for a wealthy family, and the other was responsible for delivering goods."

"Although my status in the upper city was very low, I was able to enjoy much better living conditions than in the lower city. Plus, my parents loved us very much despite being busy, so my childhood was actually quite happy."

"Until one day, my father was executed by the Toyokawa family for losing a batch of biological drugs developed by the Toyokawa Group."

"The burden of raising my sister and me fell entirely on my mother, forcing her to continue working in her free time to feed us."

"Although my sister and I tried to find a job to help relieve our mother's fatigue, the long hours of work eventually took their toll on her body. The average life expectancy for the upper city poor at the time was fifty, yet our mother didn't even make it past forty."

"Afterwards, someone from the Fengchuan Group found me and told me that if I submitted to their human experiments, my sister and I would have no worries about food and clothing from then on."

"You know, for a teenager, there's not really much choice in this."

"So I agreed to their request, and they stuffed the vengeful spirit left behind by a dead Ghost Rider into my body."

"It's obvious that the Toyokawa Group can't kill the Ghost Rider. They probably just got lucky and found an opportunity."

"Because after I was possessed by that angel of revenge, I couldn't control myself and killed every member of the consortium I saw."

"Finally, I escaped to the lower city, and the raging spirit of revenge within me finally calmed down."

"Anyway, I killed a lot of people from the consortium, which put me on their wanted list. The Toyokawa Consortium tried every possible means to eliminate me as a threat."

"But they failed. Ghost Rider's immortality is unkillable. Not even by the genetic locks embedded in the people of Tokyo."

"When that clone of mine crashed into me and was engulfed in hellfire, I actually couldn't help but laugh. What biological weapon could possibly harm a skeleton?"

"But the consortium refused to give up. They burned my neighborhood to ashes. I haven't seen my sister since."

"So, with a heart of revenge in my heart, I kept hunting down the scum of the consortium, and then played hide-and-seek with them while I was being pursued."

“At the time, I thought this kind of life would continue forever.”

"After all, the Toyokawa Group is too big and too powerful for an individual. While I have the power to protect myself, it's difficult for me to overthrow the foundations of old Tokyo."

"Until one day, that girl came to me."

"She calls herself Toyokawa Shoko, and she has four robotic arms growing from her back."

"She claims to have defeated the Toyokawa Group and is about to begin a new reign over Tokyo Shi Yilin ⑦8〗$#[IV七⒋V翏. She has invited me to join her."

"I only heard her last name, and I wanted to go up and use my eyes of judgment to expose the evil hidden under this sanctimonious appearance."

"But what happened next was beyond my expectations. This girl confessed the Toyokawa family's actions right before my eyes, yet she herself remained unharmed."

"Shoko Toyokawa is an innocent person."

"After my trial against her, she continued to invite me, hoping that I could become her assistant in the Mujica group."

“But I refused.”

"If she really defeats the Toyokawa Group and can really bring better order to Tokyo, then there's no need for me to become Ghost Rider again."

"I myself am on a quest for revenge, and my ideals have been carried out by others."

"Then I should return to the life I truly desire—becoming an ordinary, ordinary person. And by the way, see if I can find any information about my missing sister."

"I've lived comfortably in the old city for several years. This time I moved to the new city to see if I can find any information about my sister here. Although the possibility is very small, I hope she is still alive."

"Today's transformation is a case of seeing injustice and helping others. The new city was incorporated into Tokyo a few days ago, and order is still being established here. I may have a chance to show my skills in the next few days."

"Of course, I won't be living the life of a professional superhero again. After all, things are far too peaceful under the rule of the Mujica Group. Even the spirit of revenge within me doesn't want to start a war."

"I'm very satisfied with my life now. But I have to admit, I sometimes wonder, if I had accepted Toyokawa Shoko's invitation, would I be better off now?"

"Anyway, that's my story, the story of a former Ghost Rider."

-----------------

After listening to Maki's story, Chuhua fell into deep thought.

She had no intention of blaming the other party's mentality at the moment, but this was indeed slightly different from her own creed - the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
