Marvel: The Twelve Spells

Chapter 20 Norman Osborn

At night, at eleven o'clock.

The glass door was open, and a row of wet footprints on the wooden corridor extended into the house.

Moonlight streamed in through the huge French windows and hit Dr. Conners on the face.

He looked like he had just been picked up from the water, his hair and face were covered with water, and the white coat and work clothes he had just put on were also soaked in water.

The embarrassed Dr. Connors sat in a messy home research room.

This is where his life's research efforts are stored, and of course there are recent research results that have made significant progress.

But tonight it seemed like it had been ransacked. Book pages and printing paper were scattered all over the floor, the safe was violently broken open, and even the hard drive of the computer was disassembled and taken away.

Dr. Conners sat calmly on the chair, but the skin on his neck had turned green, and he continued to take deep breaths to keep himself calm.

He picked up the landline on the table and made a call.Although he already had a conjecture, he still had to verify it.

"It's me, Curtis Kurt Connors, who came to my house tonight?"

"Good evening, Dr. Connors, you have Mr. Peter Parker, and Mr. Vanita Reddy."

Dr. Conners hung up the phone and continued to call Reddy.

The call was quickly connected.

"You stole my information, data, models, equations, test results, serum...you stole everything." Dr. Connors said in a deep voice.

Reddy could hear Dr. Connors' anger, but he didn't care.

"Doctor, you seem to have forgotten that the Osborne Group has funded your continuous research these years, but we have not seen the rewards from you. Mr. Norman has no time to wait." Reddy's words were extremely harsh, "Those things It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to Norman Osborn, and now I just get it back for Mr Norman."

Dr. Conners continued to take a deep breath, and he tried his best to suppress some crazy and bloody thoughts that popped up in his mind.

"Listen to Reddy, that formula is immature, including the serum. There are also big problems." Dr. Conners almost yelled into the phone, "I've tried it, and the serum is a defective product!"

"So what?" Reddy smiled contemptuously, "We called the best biological research team in the Osborne Group, I think as long as there are enough test samples, the wrong formula can always be corrected, and the formula that can treat Norman The perfect serum for Mister."

"You can't start human experiments!" Dr. Connors was trembling all over, "That would kill many people, and create more monsters..."

"Who cares?" Reddy said with a smile: "They should be proud of being able to participate in the evolution of human beings! This will be a milestone scientific research, but it's a pity that these have nothing to do with you... Connors PhD!"

Dr. Conners listened to the busy signal coming from the phone, and after a long time, he crushed the phone receiver.

Slowly, his face became extremely ferocious, and his skin turned blue again.The first change was the newly grown left hand, which became the front paw of a lizard. His body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the white overalls were slowly stretched apart...

"Vanita Reddy, Norman Osborn..." Connors, who had become a lizardman again, repeated over and over again.

……

Reddy put down the phone, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.He stood on the upper floors of the Osborne Building, overlooking the bright night view of New York.

After a while, he took out his phone and turned it to silent mode, turned around and walked into a luxurious suite.

"Sir, the experiment of 'lizard serum' has already started. There are many disabled soldiers with severed limbs in the army hospital. As long as enough experiments are done, the serum can be optimized." Reddy stood behind the desk and bowed, full of respect explain.

"Enough experiments?" Norman Osborn said in a dissatisfied tone.

Reddy was sweating profusely and could only keep silent, and he couldn't guarantee the progress of the experiment.

Because if Norman didn't get the qualified lizard serum by the day he promised, he would lose his life as punishment.

"I gave you a lot of time, but you and Connors can only come up with a defective lizard serum these years?" Norman's tone was cold, "I can only give you the last month, when the time comes If you still let me down, then please also inject the lizard serum as a pioneer."

"Yes!" Reddy could only bow, and he was covered in cold sweat under the high tension and fear.

"Connors' consciousness is much higher than yours..." Norman turned his head and looked at the screen on the big screen hanging on the wall and said, "Because of his bravery, he has also been rewarded."

What was shown on the screen was the scene of the Lizardman fighting the police and Spider-Woman on the Brooklyn Bridge tonight. Even though the Lizardman was hit by the police with hot weapons and his tail was pulled off by Spider-Woman, he could To heal the injured part in a short period of time, this self-healing ability is the envy of all human beings afflicted by illness.

"Although it is ugly and disgusting to become a lizard, after all, I gained health and strength." Norman said to himself.

Under the light, the green glass test tube beside him reflected a coquettish light, which was a lizard serum.

"What about the research on mutated spiders?" Norman asked in a low voice.

"It has been declared a failure..." Reddy bowed again, his head was almost at the same height as the desk, "I injected the spider serum into human test products, but all ended in failure, and the spider serum endotoxin could not be resolved."

Norman didn't speak, he didn't look so angry, because he was used to failures and blows over the years.

The Osborne family suffers from a rare genetic disease, which has no cure and is fatal, and each generation of Osborns will die prematurely from this disease.

Norman Osborn, the president of the world's most powerful biotechnology company, was of course unwilling to accept this result. He used all financial and material resources to find a cure for the disease.

The most feasible method is to use cross-species gene transfer technology to prolong life. Over the years, he has studied the genes of many species, trying to create the perfect serum to prolong his life, but so far all projects have ended in failure.

So the failure of the spider serum this time was also within his expectation. After all, even the experimentally cultivated mutant spiders had a large number of death cases.

"The cause of the mass death of mutant spiders has been investigated?" Norman asked lightly.

"According to the monitoring, two people entered the laboratory illegally..." Reddy breathed a sigh of relief.

"One of them is Gwen Stacy, the intern leader on the Conners team, and the other is a student at Midtown Institute of Technology." Reddy said slowly, "And we noticed that from that time on , there is an extra superhero named 'Spider-Woman' on the streets of New York..."
