Chapter 34 My Spider-Man Predecessor
Gwen stuffed her battle suit into her schoolbag, changed into a beige coat, pulled up her sleeves to cover the spider web shooters on her wrists, put on her hood, and prepared herself as she sneaked her head out of the door.
Gwen breathed a sigh of relief when she found no sign of Charlotte.
Gwen slammed the door shut and ran away with her purple backpack in hand.
Not long after, she, wearing pink headphones, took the elevator to the top of a tall building. Standing on the edge of the building, she raised her pretty fair face and gazed at the sky in the distance.
The sky gradually darkened, and under the setting sun, a few strange birds could be seen flying in the sky. The lights were sparse, and there were a few wisps of smoke floating in the air.
She has been a strong-willed person since she was young. If Charlotte can do it, why can't she?
Gwen took a deep breath and steeled herself. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She gritted her teeth, took out her battle suit from her schoolbag, and put it on herself swiftly.
Testing the spider silk launcher on her wrist, Gwen began to make final adjustments, preparing for the birth of the ghost spider.
Look up and gaze at the dazzling starry sky, and look down and overlook the brightly lit streets.
The breeze blew on Gwen's face, bringing freedom and wandering. She seemed to be floating on the sea of clouds, feeling leisurely and contented.
With her arms open, Gwen was full of confidence, recalling Charlotte's appearance in the video.
With a determined expression, Gwen raised her wrist and aimed the spider silk launcher at the building not far ahead.
"If I were you, I would never choose to do this."
Then a sudden voice startled Gwen.
She quickly turned around and saw that the leisurely Spider-Man had appeared on the top floor of the building at some point, leaning leisurely next to the water tower with a cup of American coffee in his hand.
After just a few days of playing Spider-Man, Charlotte got two good skill cards. The quality and efficiency have made Charlotte satisfied.
I secretly gave myself a short vacation, just in time...
Well, actually it was Charlotte who turned on her spider sense and immediately discovered Gwen’s strange movements.
I don’t know what Gwen is doing here, so I sneaked over to peek.
Compared to the curious Charlotte, Gwen's first reaction when she saw Spider-Man was a fragile "Ugh" like a kitten.
She raised her hands in panic to cover her ugly mask.
Gwen gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that no one would know about tonight's experiment, but she didn't expect to be caught by the person she least wanted to meet.
Yawning, Charlotte stepped forward, shook the coffee he had snatched, tilted his head to look at Gwen's strange-looking battle suit, and couldn't help but teasing:
"My dear lady, are you going to a masquerade?
Oh my spider god! I remember it wasn’t even Halloween yet.”
After taking a sip of coffee through the mask and glancing at the patterns on Gwen's uniform, Charlotte quietly approached and stood beside Gwen, pretending to be surprised and joking:
"Oh my god! The pattern on it is a spider web, and it's so cute~ I know, you must be my little fan."
With her head held high, Charlotte displayed her idol demeanor and condescendingly commented on Gwen's crudely made battle suit:
"Of course I have to say that your craftsmanship is really bad, and Spider-Man is very unhappy about this, but Spider-Man likes your love for Spider-Man."
As a senior, Charlotte explained to Gwen earnestly:
“A superhero’s suit is his second face. A beautiful suit is sometimes more important than doing a hundred good deeds.
Because humans are visual creatures, vision plays an important role in information acquisition and communication, which is not only reflected in daily life, but also in all aspects.
So a good first impression is the key to success.
Wearing an ugly battle suit is no different from running naked."
Gwen stared coldly through her fingers at Charlotte who was standing and talking without any pain in her waist, and she covered her face with her hands, feeling so angry that her teeth were itching.
If she had a nice-looking battle suit, why would she come out wearing one like this?
At this moment, Charlotte secretly equipped the Spider Sense skill card, preparing to interact with Gwen in a friendly manner.
Play a game where you are Spider-Man, I am Spider-Man, and we are all Spider-Man.
Just at the moment of activating the skill card, Gwen, who was holding her head, began to shake rapidly like a rattle.
Charlotte blinked his eyes. It was the first time he used this skill in person. Looking at Gwen's head leaving an afterimage, Charlotte was completely stunned.
Gwen quickly canceled the skill card and then paused, feeling very depressed.
With a dry cough, Charlotte pretended that nothing had happened and said:
"Ah! You are Spider-Man too, ahem~
Cute little Spider, if you want to become a qualified superhero, you still have a long way to go. "
"Hmph!" Gwen snorted angrily and took off her clown mask, throwing it hard on the ground, revealing her rosy face underneath.
Opening his mouth, Spider-Man put his hands behind his back and explained seriously:
"The first rule as a superhero is to hide your identity well! Try not to reveal it to anyone.
Otherwise you will bring unknown disasters to your family and friends, this is extremely important."
Charlotte has a deep understanding of this.
Gwen pouted, feeling embarrassed and annoyed:
"Charlotte!! I know it's you!
Do you think I won't recognize you if you put on a leather jacket?"
Gwen was too familiar with Charlotte. Not only was she aware of her tone of voice, her figure, her voice, but also her standing posture, the little movements of her hands, and her attitude towards her, but also a subtle feeling that made her very sure of this.
Staring at Spider-Man's mask, she could already see Charlotte's grinning face underneath.
"Charlotte? What Charlotte? You...got the wrong person?" Charlotte instantly changed the actor's skill card.
Charlotte restrained her smile and faced Gwen's questioning, acting very naturally like she was at a loss.
The instant reaction suddenly wiped out Gwen's previous sense of familiarity, and the person in front of her seemed to be a very strange stranger.
Gwen had a look of suspicion on her face. Could it be that she had really recognized the wrong person?
"You are Charlotte!"
Gritting her teeth, Gwen chose to trust her sixth sense.
Unless Spider-Man takes off his mask now, or another Charlotte runs in front of her, she is sure that this Spider-Man is Charlotte.
"Uh~Little Spider~Although I don't know who Charlotte you are talking about, I am sure that he must be a handsome guy like me~
Without further ado, I have actually noticed you for a long time and knew that there is someone like me in New York."
With a confident smile, Charlotte analyzed:
"Let me guess, you were bitten by a radioactive poisonous spider, and when you woke up the next day you found yourself with super powers, but you were also confused and at a loss as to what to do.
But you are lucky, you have met an old predecessor like me, I will teach you step by step how to become a qualified superhero, and let you inherit my mantle. "
"Tsk~ what old senior~" Gwen crossed her arms across her chest, squeezing out a full arc from the baggy clown suit, and commented with a look of disdain:
"You were just a few days ahead of me."
"Of course not, kid~" Using the actor skill card, Charlotte gave a kind smile.
Quickly write a biography for yourself.
One lie often requires countless lies to cover it up. The more lies you tell, the easier it is to be exposed.
But only lies can cover up lies.
So, Charlotte had an idea and decided to increase Gwen's strength.
