Chapter 1207 Wild Spider Transformation

"You mean, the weird girl who killed Iron Man in one move came to you and said that your parents were archaeologists hired by a secret organization, and gave you the weird ring that caused their accidental death?"

On the rooftop of a tall building, Gwen curiously fiddled with the black metal ring.

"To me, this is just an ordinary broken ring. There's nothing strange about it, right?"

"Can't you see the red light inside the crack?" Heather pointed to the crack on the surface of the ring.

"Red light? Are you sure?"

Gwen turned on the flashlight on her phone and pointed it at the ring, looking over and over again, but she didn't see the red light that Heather mentioned.

She received a text message from Heather at night and thought he was attacked, so she sneaked out and swung her way to St. Regis's house.

So you were showing off to me that you have a beautiful and powerful stalker girl and she even gave you a token of love, right?

For some reason, Gwen felt a little unhappy.

"Forget it. After graduation, I will take some time to go back to the old house in Connecticut to look for any evidence that my parents are archaeologists. Well, let's keep this ring for now."

Heather took the ring from Gwen and put it in her pocket. No matter what the girl named Rebecca said was true or false, Heather would not put the ring on rashly. It might be a wiser choice to keep it close to her body for the time being.

Gwen heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. It seemed that there was no need for her to remind him.

Sitting on the top edge of the tall building, looking at the neon lights below, Heather asked softly, "Will Mr. George notice something is wrong if you run out like this?"

"I told my dad I wanted to go to bed early today, and then I locked the door. He was watching a baseball game in the living room, so he probably wouldn't notice that I was away. But I still had to go back early to avoid being discovered."

Gwen hesitated for a moment, then said with a blushing face:
"Well... I feel like we don't have many opportunities to talk alone in school, don't you think?"

"Thank God you finally thought of this. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"I, I do have an idea... ahem."

Gwen's face turned redder and she cleared her throat shyly, then whispered, "I think we can pretend to be in love at school, so that we can have a chance to be alone together both during and after school... What's that look in your eyes!"

Gwen pushed her gently, shyly and anxiously. Heather blinked and pushed up the glasses frame that had slipped down her nose.

"This idea is very... creative."

"If you don't agree, then I--"

"I didn't say I disagree. I'm just worried about the impact this will have on your image in school. A high school star like you shouldn't date a nerd like me no matter what. It's not in line with your personality."

Heather didn't show any expression of excitement or anxiety. He certainly didn't think that Gwen fell in love with him, but he thought this was indeed a good idea.

"I broke the oath I made in front of my friends. I originally planned not to have a boyfriend before graduating from college. So, do you have any feasible plans to improve the image of Ghost Spider?"

Gwen has very fair skin so her blushing is very obvious, like now.

Although she tried to sound calm, her blushing face revealed her inner unrest.

"I didn't have a chance to explain it in detail during the day, but I can explain it to you now."

In order to help Gwen improve her image, Heather put a lot of effort into researching a lot of solutions.
"First of all, you have to admit that JJJJ's Daily Bugle is the main battlefield and vanguard of Spider-Man."

"That's right. I don't know why the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle is so hostile to Ghost Spider."

Gwen had a headache when it came to Jameson. No one wanted to see a popular newspaper making up rumors about them every day, while they had no way to refute it.

"It just so happens that I have had a three-year-long cooperative relationship with the Daily Bugle, and I also have a pretty good personal relationship with JJJJ. So I can help you find a solution in this regard."

"Huh? Are you still working with the Daily Bugle?" Gwen looked at Heather curiously: "Can you tell me?"

"When I was in eighth grade, I submitted a manuscript to the Daily Bugle and began publishing a serial novel, "Evil Hero," in the newspaper. Please keep this a secret for me. I don't want too many people to know that I'm writing a novel."

If it wasn't for helping Gwen, Heather wouldn't have revealed that he was the author of "Evil Hero". Many writers, like him, hate to be "exposed" in their daily lives.

So far, besides Gwen, only Aunt Susan's family knew about this.

Gwen's beautiful blue eyes widened when she heard Heather's words:

"You wrote Evil Hero? Wait, you are the author Raven? Oh my god, I love this novel! Did the hero Genos get his power from the Armored Dragon, or is it an innate talent? And the super-electromagnetic samurai's lightning sword..."

"Uh, we can talk about the plot aspects during our 'date' tomorrow, okay?"

This time it was Heather's turn to be embarrassed. Discussing the plot of her novel face to face with a beautiful girl was simply torture for Heather. He quickly turned the topic back to the issue of image public relations.

"In short, I will talk more about Ghost Spider's good deeds in front of JJJJ, and add new characters similar to Ghost Spider in my novels, and try my best to make readers have a positive impression and good impression of him.

Then, the Daily Bugle will have an interview with the writers in a while, and I will try to guide the topic to the new characters, and mention that I am a fan of Ghost Spider, so I created this character image. "

Gwen's eyes lit up when she heard this. She didn't expect Heather to come up with such a good idea.

On the other side, Heather hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Another part of Ghost Spider's current suffering and stress is the police. Although there is no official wanted warrant, it is clear that you are on the police's blacklist. This is not good news, Gwen."

"Yeah, I know. Dad would talk about Ghost Spider when he got home. Neither Dad nor his colleagues seemed to like Ghost Spider very much."

Gwen felt a little disappointed when talking about her father. She became a masked street hero mainly to be a righteous person like her father, but she didn't expect that Ghost Spider's image would become worse and worse in the eyes of the police.

"Don't worry, I have a solution to this problem.

Ghost Spider has a bad image among the police, mainly because you have no qualifications as a law enforcer but exercise the power of a law enforcer.

Even if your motives are noble and pure, the police will see Ghost Spider as a vigilante anarchist."

"But, but I can't go to the police academy wearing the Ghost Spider suit, can I?"

"Don't worry, this is actually easy to solve. In the next period of time, you can pay more attention to the police channel. Don't pretend to be like that. I know you must be secretly monitoring Mr. George's internal police channel.

Find out those cases where the criminals are in possession of firearms or dangerous weapons and can pose a physical threat to the police, and follow them secretly.

No, I'm not asking you to stand idly by, but to find the right time to enter.

It is best to do so when the police realize that the enemy is very dangerous and there is a high possibility of casualties on their side. This is a good time for you to appear."

Heather pushed up the frame of her glasses, the lenses reflecting white light under the neon lights in the distance:

"What kind of situation would quickly change Ghost Spider's reputation within the police force?
The answer is life-saving grace.

Most of the police officers whose lives were saved by Ghost Spider will no longer be hostile to Ghost Spider. The more this happens, the less pressure from public opinion you will have.

In the end, the mayor of New York may even be forced by public opinion to issue you the key to the city of New York."

Gwen's little head was dizzy.

Putting aside her identity as the ghost spider, she is just a beautiful 17-year-old high school student who is good at math and physics. She would never have thought of all these twists and turns.

But one of her strengths is that she is smart, and after getting over the initial confusion she quickly understood what Heather meant.

For some reason, she felt that the ordinary face of the boy opposite her was particularly attractive. Is this what is often said in stories: 'Serious men are the most handsome'?

Gwen blushed again.

Heather thought Gwen blushed because she was happy, so she smiled and joked, "Don't worry, since I volunteered to be your image PR, I will definitely do a good job. From now on, we will be partners, you will be Pumbaa and I will be Timon."

"Why should I be a pig? You are Pumbaa, I want to be Timon! No, I am Nana, I eat Pumbaa and Timon!"

Gwen is a fan of "The Lion King", and she can't help but hear that Heather is taking the opportunity to mock her.

At night, on the top of a tall building, the noisy laughter of the two blended into the hustle and bustle of the city.

The full moon above is like a huge eye, watching all this silently.
