Chapter 73: Jianmu Fruit
Chapter 73: Jianmu Fruit
A five thousand word self-review is nothing for a chatterbox who loves to talk nonsense, but the fact that I have to give a speech in front of all the classmates tomorrow is quite embarrassing.
Peter glanced at Mary Jane's profile in front of him, then lowered his head to revise his draft paper, trying to make his review more humorous.
How about using some puns in this paragraph? Or using the latest buzzwords as metaphors, or using some classic bad jokes, or making up some comments about some classmates in the review...
"Ah..." He let out a small cry of surprise, because he suddenly felt a burning sensation on the middle finger of his left hand. Based on the adventure that happened in the morning, Peter knew that it was Red Hood sending him a message.
While the other students were not paying attention, he quietly tapped the ring on his left hand. Soon, a line of information appeared in front of him, but the others did not notice it at all:
"Dan Heng has compiled some usage instructions for the jade omen, which I will send to you now. This style of jade omen is not cheap, and it has some practical functions that I think you should be able to use.
Also, come to Stark Tower when you have time."
Peter closed his eyes and lowered his head to receive the information from Yu Zhaoli. In fact, it was just the functions that a mobile phone should have, except that the network speed was faster, the memory was larger, and the communication was free, there was also one more thing -
space!?
Peter blinked, then blinked again. He tentatively grasped the base of his left middle finger and imagined in his mind...
A pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared on his desk. This is the unique way of eating of the Luofu people. It is said that they can pick up everything with two wooden sticks.
Great! He clenched his fist secretly and put the chopsticks back. He was so excited that he didn't notice Ned's stunned expression.
The first second the bell rang, Peter grabbed his schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom at the speed of a high school student going to the cafeteria to get food. After turning an alley, the light Spider-Man appeared at the other end.
"The Luofu people live such a great life, no wonder so many people want their secrets."
Peter commented like this, and he placed his schoolbag in the space he had just obtained. From then on, he no longer had to worry about his schoolbag being picked up by a passing thief when he was doing good deeds. God knows how many schoolbags he had changed.
"Knock knock, is anyone there?"
Spider-Man was lying outside the glass of Stark Tower, squinting inside with his eyes covered with white membranes. The two pieces of white membranes actually cooperated to make various shapes, making Jason wonder for a moment whether the mask had its own life.
In fact, his red bucket has a similar effect, but unfortunately he can't see it.
The glass opened in coordination, and Jason watched Spider-Man crawl in and sit in his seat with ease:
"Why did you call me here? Is there any news about the whereabouts of the Medicine King's secret teachings?"
"Indeed, they are, but they are all in Luofu." Dan Heng nodded and told the two:
"After obtaining Yu Zhao's number, Luofu has obtained Da Chihua's identity. Basically, they can follow the clues to find the power behind him. Da Chihua's status is higher than we thought. We suspect that he has a more important mission."
"Isn't the task of developing downlines outside the alliance important? How many people in New York have chosen to invest and follow suit? Even if the exchange rate set by the company is higher, it is still a huge amount of money."
"Money is just a small matter. The company is the one that makes the most money. Mr. Spider-Man, are there any valuable personal belongings in the ring?"
Peter nodded: "There are indeed some. Let me look for them..."
As he said this, he turned out everything in the ring, including some clothes, odds and ends from Luofu, a popular novel from the Basic Alliance, the Medicine King's secret ID card, and a bite of white rice...
"Ugh - so disgusting." Jason looked at the moldy breakfast and threw it into the trash can with disgust.
"No more." Spider-Man spread his hands and took out everything except his schoolbag. He looked at Dan Heng curiously as he checked everything and asked:
"Is there anything important in there?"
Dan Heng frowned deeply: "They are all very common things. Could it be that the thing is not here..."
He hesitated for a moment and asked the robot to put all these things away: "Sorry to bother you, the ring will remain with you for now. I will find a time to completely remove the restrictions of the ring."
Spider-Man left confused.
New York in the evening has never been about tranquility. This bustling city that never sleeps only has a moment of silence at dawn. At this time, Spider-Man, who had just come out of the Stark Building, wandered casually between the high-rise buildings and greeted the residents below:
"Good evening, Mr. Smith!"
"Good evening, Spider-Man, are you going to save the world again?" The old man named Smith chatted with him with a smile.
"Of course! I foiled a big conspiracy of an evil organization today!"
Spider-Man, a good neighbor in New York, always likes to chat with the citizens he meets. He will listen to everyone's troubles kindly and then give his opinions. Although his suggestions are sometimes immature, everyone likes this enthusiastic boy.
Until a shell suddenly blasted in his direction.
"careful!"
Peter moved quickly. He grabbed the old man's arm and pulled him away from his original position. At the same time, countless spider silk spurted out from his wrists, wrapping him and the old man layer by layer, and only then did they manage to withstand the shock wave caused by the explosion.
"Hey, go!"
He pushed the old man away, climbed out of the spider web, and looked at the newcomers: "Who are you?"
The fully armed mercenaries did not answer him. Instead, they raised their guns in unison and fired countless bullets. The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the alley, and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air.
This hail of fire lasted for a full quarter of an hour, until Spider-Man suddenly rushed out from above their heads and knocked the leader unconscious with his own weight.
"Try this!" He threw a punch, and with superhuman strength, he smashed the mercenaries beside him into the wall. Spider silk shot out from his right hand, binding up the other mercenaries who were firing at him.
To be honest, his skills were poor and the angle of his punches had some issues, but his strength made up for all the shortcomings, fully proving what it means to be able to defeat skill with one force.
Peter grabbed one of them by the collar and stared into the mercenary's eyes hidden behind the goggles: "Tell me, who are you? Why did you suddenly attack me? What is your conspiracy?"
The mercenary screamed in Arabic, which Peter could not understand, but he had been inoculated with the synesthesia beacon: "For immortality! For the King of Compassion!"
"What? You too..." Peter frowned, but the next moment, the man in his hand began to twist and twitch unnaturally, golden leaves fell from his body, and his body was irreversibly collapsing.
"Let him go!"
A red spear shot out from the side, forcing Spider-Man to let go of the mercenary. Peter turned his head and saw Silver Branch running quickly from the end of the street.
"Silver Branch? What happened?"
Peter was puzzled, but he knew the answer the next second:
The mercenary's flesh and blood completely disintegrated and attached to the armor he was wearing. Hideous and rugged branches and leaves emerged from the gaps in the armor. He had turned into a horrible monster.
Spider-Man had to retreat: "What is this?"
"Is this the devil's body? The alliance's battle is really dangerous." Yinzhi had come to his side. He pulled out the spear that was stuck in the ground and pointed the tip of the spear directly at the devil's body.
"Demon Yin Body?"
"This is Luofu's mortal enemy. I don't know the specific situation, but the patrol ranger who has a close relationship with Luofu should know."
Yinzhi looked solemnly at the mercenary who had transformed into a demon.
"Power, power surges in my body..." The demonic body roared: "This is immortality, this is the miracle of the King of Medicine..."
"Arise, my brothers, I shall share all this with you..."
"Oh no! He is going to transform everyone else into demonic beings! Stop him now!"
He swung the silver spear and was about to give him a beautiful defense, but it was too late. The other mercenaries who were knocked to the ground also began to disintegrate and transform at the same time. Among the ginkgo leaves floating on the ground, a whole team of evil spirits appeared.
"Wow..." Spider-Man's eyes widened. He swung his fist again to knock these guys to the ground, but found that their strength had changed dramatically, and the wounds on their bodies were still healing.
"Be careful!" Yinzhi waved the tip of the gun and repelled the invading evil spirit. The pile of monsters looked scary, but it made the players very happy.
"Stand back, my friend. I'm about to strike with all my strength."
Yinzhi gently but unquestionably protected Spider-Man behind him. He made the spear stand vertically, and invisible power surged through his body:
"Until I see that light again, I will defend all that is beautiful in the galaxy until the last moment—
To Idrila!"
The spear swept across with a momentum that swept the world, and Yinzhi swung the weapon in his hand with great force. Endless power was released in an instant, and in just a turn, several rays of light burst out from the bodies of the demonic Yin bodies.
In the rain of red petals, all the monsters pursuing immortality and power disappeared.
Peter swore that the moment Yinzhi opened his eyes, he saw a dilapidated temple and a red cloak fluttering high behind Yinzhi. Unfortunately, the scene was as short-lived as an illusion, but he finally understood that the "pure beauty" that Yinzhi mentioned might be true.
but--
"Where did you get the petals from?"
Yinzhi looked back blankly: "Ah, doesn't it look good?"
"It does look good, but it's not about whether it looks good or not, it's about why you want to scatter roses here..."
Yinzhi said seriously: "This is part of my aesthetics. As a knight, I should always pay attention to my manners and show my most shining side..."
Jason squatted on the wall and knocked on the tiles with the butt of his gun, interrupting Yinzhi's long speech: "Wait a minute, who can tell me what just happened?"
"Red Hood? When did you get here?"
"The bullets here are so loud, how could I not know? It's a pity that they are of no use. Well done, knight."
"Thank you, Mr. Sea Patrolman. This is my duty." Yinzhi bowed slightly, her demeanor still as perfect as ever.
Spider-Man briefly explained what had just happened.
"Is that so?" Jason nodded. "It seems our guess is correct, Spider-Man. They are coming for you."
"Because I guarded the Kingpin's side door?"
"Well, it's basically the same, because the Jianmu fruit is in your hand."
