American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 72 Gwen, the Symbiont
Peter Parker has never regretted so much as today, because his laissez-faire led to Uncle Ben's death.He didn't even dare to look at his aunt who was crying in the living room, let alone tell her that he caused all this to happen.He was like a little beast who hid in his den after being hit, licking his wounds alone, unwilling to come into contact with anyone.

Even the girl he likes, Gwen Stacy.

Even his best friend from school, Harry Osborn.

"It's not that Peter doesn't want to see you, it's just that he may need a space to be alone more now." Aunt May sent Gwen and Harry to the door, and comforted her and Harry with a gentle hug.The death of her husband also made her extremely sad, but at the same time, it also made her realize that this family needs one person to stand up and support it.As an adult, she is more able to control her emotions in front of others.

"I know." Gwen also hugged Aunt Mei, "If necessary tomorrow, I will help Peter ask for leave. I will come to see him in the next few days."

"I'll visit him often too." Harry echoed.

"You are all good boys. I am very glad that Peter has friends like you." Aunt Mei squeezed out a smile, watched the two leave after waving goodbye, and then closed the door.

"Do you need me to give you a ride? My driver is nearby." Harry and Gwen walked side by side, pointing to their own driveway parked on the side of the road.

"Thank you." Gwen thanked, without rejecting Harry's kindness.The two sat in the back seat of the car one after the other, and Harry gave instructions to the driver in the driver's seat.The car started and drove towards Stacey's house.

The car was very quiet, both Harry and Gwen were silent, and it seemed that no one wanted to speak to break the silence.Harry saw the worry and loss on Gwen's face, but he didn't know how to comfort people.His tricks of teasing girls with sweet words don't seem right for Gwen in this situation.

"You like that boy." Gwen, who was silent with his head down, suddenly heard a voice.She raised her head in a daze, and looked at Harry next to her: "What did you just say?"

"What?" Harry was taken aback by Gwen's sudden question, and asked back in confusion.

"Didn't you talk to me just now?" Gwen blinked. She just heard a voice talking to her, but she couldn't concentrate and couldn't tell where it came from.

"Of course not, I thought you needed to be alone right now." Harry shook his head.

"You like that boy named Peter!" Another voice was clearly caught by Gwen.

Gwen glanced around in a daze, and finally her eyes fell on Harry next to her: "You really didn't talk to me just now?"

"I promise not!" Harry held up his hand.

"But I actually heard someone talking to me just now." Gwen frowned.

Harry heard this, and looked at Gwen with some concern: "I know you are worried about Peter's situation, but you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. I think you should be hallucinating. I occasionally have too much academic pressure, Same thing. Sometimes I dream about my father's disappointed face, and it's really bad."

"Maybe." Gwen didn't argue.

Stacy's home was not far away, and the driver arrived at the destination soon. After saying goodbye to Harry, Gwen got out of the car with her backpack and walked towards her home.

"The boy is all in your mind, can you change the picture?"

The sudden voice sounded again, and Gwen stopped immediately.Her face was a little pale, she looked around and found no one but her, she frowned and said tentatively: "Who are you?"

"I am you." The voice quickly replied.

"You are me?" Gwen felt a little ridiculous for a while.She felt that she was mentally normal and stable, without the slightest sign of schizophrenia.Some time ago, half-joined Hyperion also enjoyed a whole-body monitoring, and everything was normal!
"You can treat me as an alien symbiont. We live together with the host, coexist, and grow together." The voice said. "You don't need to look for me, I'm in your body. I'm talking to you with consciousness now."

"Symbiont? You have your own thinking and will? When did you enter my body?" Gwen asked a series of questions. She felt that the shock she experienced in a year was not as great as it is today.

"Of course I have my own thinking and will. As for when it entered your body? It should have been a few days. I feel that your brain is very suitable for me to inhabit. I don't like a host that is too stupid." The voice said.

"Wait, do you know what I'm thinking?" Gwen suddenly realized something she had overlooked at first.

"Of course, this is an instinct. We use the emotions of the host as food, and different individuals have different tastes. For example, I prefer happy emotions, especially the happy emotions obtained from knowledge. Your today I'm so depressed, it makes me lose my appetite. It's like a chef cooks a big table of terrible dishes, and you have to finish them. That's not the worst part, what's more, the chef He didn't mean to stop, he was still making more unpalatable dishes.

I didn't want to scare you, but I just can't take it anymore.I'm not one of those rough guys who eat all emotions.I don't have a big appetite! "The voice complained frantically.

It's strange that Gwen felt a certain consciousness of dissatisfaction in her own body.Although Gwen didn't know whether this was his hallucination or it was real.

"I'm sorry." Under the influence of this emotion, Gwen subconsciously apologized.

"Do you like that boy? If you like, why don't you confess? I read your memory. For you, as long as you confess, you can be together." The voice repeated the original words. "But I suggest that if you really want to be together, you must give yourself more private space and learn more knowledge, at least so that I can eat well every day. Although the dopamine secreted by love is not bad, it is not a meal for me. .”

"I think I need to check my body." Gwen said.She doesn't want to have such an unknown symbiont in her body all the time, especially if the other party can still share her memories.

"Your body is very healthy. In fact, even if you are unhealthy, I can make you healthy. You don't need to worry about me being a threat. I and you are in a symbiotic relationship of mutual prosperity and loss." That voice Naturally, it easily sensed Gwen's inner unease and thoughts, but it didn't act violently about it, but tried to reason with Gwen to gain trust.

However, Gwen made up her mind, and she decided to go to the company to check it out as soon as possible. Even if this parasite, which keeps saying that it is symbiotic and co-prosperous, is harmless to humans and animals, at least let her know what the thing in her body is.
