Peter didn't go home immediately after leaving school because he didn't know how to explain to May why he came home early, so he changed into his spider suit and started patrolling the streets as usual.

New York will never be short of criminals, and no matter how many superheroes there are or how many police forces there are, as long as you walk more streets, there will always be someone committing crimes.

It didn't take much effort for Peter to find a few guys who were robbing the bank. He immediately shot out spider webs to stick the guns in their hands, and then blocked the bank entrance and tied the criminals who were about to escape with spider webs. together.Then he was going to take these guys to the nearest police station, and throw them at the gate of the police station according to the old rules.

But as soon as he had this thought, he suddenly felt irritated for no reason, and then he immediately remembered the ignorant faces of those police officers every time he threw criminals at the gate of the police station, and stopped immediately. hand movements.

Since those people thought he was doing too much, he might as well just leave the criminal in the bank and see what they had to say.

Peter thought of this in his heart, and then he decisively hung the bundle of criminals wrapped like rice dumplings on the ceiling of the bank, and then he jumped into the bank immediately.

But Peter didn't go far. He hid on the roof of a nearby building and quietly waited for the police to come over. He wanted to see what the group of people would do this time.

As a result, Peter was very disappointed. The policemen didn't blame Peter for being troubled this time. When they saw several criminals hanging from the ceiling, they changed their story. They know how to catch criminals but don't know how to finish it themselves, and say they've never seen such a lazy superhero.

In good conscience, most of the policemen said these words with a sense of ridicule, but these words sounded particularly harsh to Peter's ears.

These people have been spoiled by New York's superheroes, and they'll never know enough!

Peter thought angrily, turned around and quickly left the building.

He decided not to care about these things anymore, whether it was a thief, a robber or a murderer, it was the police who should catch them, not the superheroes.The reason why superheroes are superheroes is because they have special abilities that ordinary people do not have. They should do some feats and heroic acts that ordinary people cannot do, protect the earth and fight against evil forces. Anyway, they are not just thinking about catching criminals all day long.

Peter finally ran into an empty alley. He took off his spider suit and stuffed it roughly into his schoolbag without looking at it.

From then on, the little spider is no longer a good neighbor in New York!Peter thought so.

Then he walked out of the alley and started to enjoy the leisure time like other truant students, so he didn't see a little black liquid on the spider uniform in his bag.

Peter had been wandering outside until very late before returning home. He knew that he couldn't avoid what happened today, so he hoped that the bad things would come later.He thought about hiding outside for a few days, but when he saw dozens of missed calls from Uncle Ben and Aunt May on his phone, he couldn't bear to make them worry too much, so he was mentally Back home when ready.

"Oh, look who's back? I thought you'd learn to run away after you learned to play truant. It seems you haven't learned that fast yet." Ben said sarcastically when he saw Peter.

"..."

Peter was a little intimidated by Ben, and this was the first time he had seen Ben show this expression.

He pursed his lips a little shyly, pinched the strap of his backpack and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Do you know you're late too? Your aunt and I called you at least fifty times. Harry and Ned waited here for three hours. Do you know how worried we were about you? I thought you were gone." As for the concept of time, so you know it." Ben said.

Peter couldn't help but took half a step back, then lowered his head and continued to apologize, "I'm sorry, Uncle Ben."

"Are you saying sorry to me?" Ben stood in the hall with his arms crossed, angrily and disappointedly said to Peter, "It's not me you're sorry for, but yourself."

"Peter, I know that you have always been a precocious child. Since you were young, you have rarely worried Mei and me. I don't understand what happened to you today? I understand that you are in a restless adolescence, and you may not even be able to control yourself My own temper, but how can you beat that kid like that. He got over 20 stitches in the back of his head, concussion and broken ribs! Peter, I really don't know what you were thinking, did you want to kill Him?! Do you know that they may sue you for intentional injury, and you will go to jail, do you know?" Asked essence, he was really shocked and disappointed by what happened today.

To be honest, when he received a call from Mr. Damon at noon, at first he thought that Peter was the kid who was beaten and sent to the hospital. He was so panicked that he almost made a mistake at work, but Mr. Damon told He, Peter, was the one who hit the man.This shocked him very much. His Peter and his nephew have always been such a good boy, and he is thin and short, and has a very kind personality. How could he beat people into a coma.

Ben thought there must be some misunderstanding here, so he hurried to the school after asking for leave, thinking that he was going to support Peter and never let others wrong him.

In the end, everything proved that Peter was the one who fought, and the whole classroom witnessed that scene with their own eyes.Ben wouldn't believe those exaggerated descriptions that Peter knocked people away with one punch, but he could tell that no one was lying about Peter's beating.

At that moment, Ben didn't know how to face Mr. Damon's gaze, because when he talked about Peter, it seemed like he was talking about an unbearable juvenile delinquent.

Ben really wanted to say to Mr. Damon that even if Peter did hit someone, he believed that there must be a good reason here, so don't use such an insulting tone to say his Peter.

But he can’t say, because Mr. Damon’s attitude directly determines what punishment Peter will receive in this matter.So he could only suppress his anger and keep apologizing for Peter, hoping that Mr. Damon could open up about this matter online.

After leaving school, Ben went to the hospital to visit the child who was beaten. He shamelessly apologized to the parents of the other party, begged them to forgive Peter, and endured their scolding in public. in there.

But none of these things made him angry with Peter, because he still believed in Peter, and he only wanted to have a good chat with Peter after he came back, and ask the reason behind it, but when he returned home, he only saw May, Peter didn't come home at all.

He was really angry and worried at that time, especially when Harry and Ned came over and told him that Peter had been bullied by Fleischer all the time, that Fleischer humiliated Peter just moments before they had a fight, and even wanted to fight him. When he was Peter, he was really afraid that Peter would not think about doing stupid things because he was wronged.

So Ben dragged his tired body out to find Peter. He searched all the places where Peter might go, but no, there was no sign of Peter anywhere.

As the search time got longer and longer, the worry in Ben's heart gradually turned into anger. Peter's ignorance made his chest throb with anger, and finally he had to drive home because he was afraid that he would get angry on the way. Have a heart attack.

And now, Ben's chest began to ache again, because he found that Peter hadn't realized his mistake at all during this period, even though he apologized very sincerely, but Peter was raised by him with his own hands. How could he not know what the child was thinking.

But Peter didn't understand Ben's psychology. When he heard Ben's questioning, his head was ignited with anger, and he said angrily to Ben: "I didn't mean it, I just hit you. He punched me, who knew he would be so weak and fell on the table. He hit me so many times, why did I become a sinner just by resisting once, do I deserve to be beaten by him?"

"Peter..." Seeing the red eyes, Ben felt a little uncomfortable, he said: "Peter, Harry and Ned have already told me, as your elder, I am sorry that I have never known that you were bullied by him Thing. Me and your aunt are both very sad about this, we are all rooting for you to fight him and glad you beat him, but not like this, you know, you can't beat him like that, you know for that How much medical bills do you have to pay?"

"So it's because of this? Because I made you pay a lot of medical bills, so you think I'm wrong, right?" Peter said without hesitation.

"Peter, how can you talk to your uncle like that!" Mei, who hadn't said anything, finally couldn't help but get angry at her nephew. She threw down the rag in her hand and said to Peter, "The money that will be used to pay the medical bills The money was saved by your uncle and I in the past two years. We plan to replace you with a better computer and buy a car when you are in college. But now even if the Thompson family does not want us to pay for medical expenses, in We won't spend this money on you until you really realize your mistake."

Peter didn't expect to hear such words, and his heart was filled with guilt in an instant, but at this moment, facing Ben and May who were looking at him in disappointment, he couldn't say a word of apology.In the end, Peter had no choice but to escape from the house.

"Peter, come back!"

Peter heard May's cry from behind, but he didn't stop, everything that happened today made him ashamed to face his uncle and aunt, Peter didn't know what to do, he had no choice but to run away .

Peter's figure quickly disappeared at the intersection. Mei covered her mouth sadly, looked at her husband and said, "Ben, shouldn't I have said what I just said to him?"

"May, it's not your fault, he just doesn't know how to apologize to you." Ben put his arms around Mei's shoulders, and put his coat back on.

"Ben, are you looking for Peter?" May asked.

"It's too dangerous outside now, I have to get him back." Ben said, opening the door and chasing him out.

Peter didn't go very far after he ran out of the house, because he had nowhere to go.

He couldn't go to Harry's place to spend the night. Although Harry's house had many vacant rooms, his father, Norman Osborn, didn't like him, and he didn't want to obstruct his eyes.

He can't go to Ned's house either. Ned's family is as enthusiastic as Ned's, but their family has too many children and too few rooms. Ned still shares a room with his younger brother. There was no place for him to lie down.

Of course, he couldn't go to Gwen. One reason is that Gwen is a girl, and the other reason is that Gwen's father, Officer Stacey, would never allow him to stay for one night. Peter believed that the first time he saw him Officer Stacey would drive him home in a police car in no time.

After much deliberation, Peter finally decided to find a vacant old building to sleep for the night, but before that he had to fill his stomach first.

Peter hadn't eaten two meals today. When he ran out of school at noon, he was so angry that he couldn't eat lunch at all. He ran away from home before he had time to eat, so now Peter feels that he is very hungry. It could almost swallow a cow.

But Peter has no money at all to buy a cow. He only has a little money in his pocket, which is only enough for him to buy a sandwich. No, it is discount time, and he should be able to buy two sandwiches.

Peter looked at the few coins in his hand and felt a little happier. At least he would be able to eat half full tonight.

On the way Peter went to the store, he saw a man robbing a person's wallet, pointing at the person with a knife in his hand, Peter made a gesture of shooting spider webs in an instant, but soon he was He withdrew his hand, then pretended he didn't see anything, and left there indifferently.

It was just a wallet grab, as long as the robbed person handed over the wallet obediently, there would be no danger, so he didn't need to worry about such trivial matters, Peter thought.

Peter bought two sandwiches in the store that were about to be taken out as he wished, and he was walking out while tossing them, when he heard Ben's voice.

"Peter, wait a minute."

Peter's footsteps paused, and then he picked up the pace and walked forward. At this time, he didn't want to see Ben.

Peter walked quickly around the corner, but his ears were still listening to Ben.It's kind of weird, he doesn't want to see Ben, but he's glad Ben came to him, he knows he's being a bit of a hypocrite, but after they had a fight, Ben came to him, and it really made him very happy.

"Hi, what do you want to do?"

Peter heard Ben yelling like this, he knew that he must have found out that someone was doing bad things, so he wanted to stop the other party.Ben is such a good person. He always said that with great ability comes great responsibility. He always takes helping others as his duty. Peter has always been very proud of this.

Peter has been pursuing this principle since he was a child, because he has read and seen by ear since he was a child.So when he was bitten by a spider and had a special ability, he became Spider-Man and began to help others as his own responsibility. He hoped to be happy in this way, but the final result showed that he was not happy, so he now Going to give up.He still adheres to the principle of having as much responsibility as his ability, but helping others is no longer his goal. He is a superhero and only does what a superhero should do.

Peter was thinking wildly, at this moment Ben didn't know who to call out again, he shouted: "Go!"

The spider sensor all over Peter's body rang, and he didn't know why an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He immediately turned around and ran back, and then he saw a person holding a gun at his body. Uncle, and that person is the man he saw grabbing the wallet just now.

Then his perfect eyesight saw the man pull the trigger.

"Bang!" A loud gunshot exploded in Peter's ears.

"Do not!!!"
