Chapter 56 System, let me see where your limits are!
Everything was explained once Hank explained it.
Gwen couldn't help but scold George who was unwilling to talk:
"Dad, why is it that your reputation as the ace sheriff of New York is becoming less and less worthy of your reputation?
Not as cautious as before! In the end, it was up to Charlotte to catch the criminal!
If you ask me, you should just step aside as soon as possible. It would be great if New York had more vigilantes like Spider-Man. "
"Nonsense!" Before George could say anything, Hank was the first to lose his patience. He said loudly and righteously:
“You can question George’s sexual orientation, but you can’t question George’s professional ability!
New York City can live without Spider-Man, but not without Hank and his golden partner! "
Hank handed the peeled apple to the small dining table in front of George, took a bite of the apple and said:
"But, to be fair, I have to criticize you, George.
Shameful, so shameful!
You only managed to catch up with the biker gang thanks to Charlotte, I don’t know what to say to you.”
“You——” George was so angry that he rolled his eyes, turned around and sulked on the hospital bed.
After finishing the apple in two bites, Hank laughed and said:
"Well, now that you're here, Gwen, it's time for me to leave. I'm busy today~"
As he said this, he threw the apple core into the trash can, stood up, turned on the walkie-talkie again, and listened to the noisy gunfight inside.
After saying goodbye, he left in a hurry.
After Hank left, George perked up and sat up again.
"Hank, that bastard, he finally waited for the day to laugh at me. Wasn't it because I laughed at him last time for being tricked by a robber dressed as a woman? He holds a grudge like that!"
Gwen was feeling sleepy, but she had no intention of listening to Hank's dark history.
He sat down on the hospital bed next to George, lay down and chatted with George for a few words without saying anything. At some point, he closed his eyes and fell into a sound sleep.
Time passed quickly and it was afternoon. Gwen sat up unsteadily, holding her growling stomach. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and her eyes fell on George, who was snoring with an IV drip.
Her eyes were bleary and her brain was dizzy, but Gwen picked up the phone, dialed the food delivery number with a clear stomach, and her mind knew what she wanted most right now.
When the takeaway arrived, George was awakened by the noise.
Seeing Gwen bring in a whole box of cheese and garlic pizza, George raised his eyebrows and said:
"Gwen? Nothing else? I don't really like pizza."
Gwen placed the pizza in front of George and said:
"Then congratulations, this whole box of pizza is yours."
In order to hide her huge appetite, Gwen did not plan to eat pizza with George. Instead, she put on the backpack on her seat and waved at George:
"As for me, I knew there was a highly rated cake shop nearby, so I chose to taste it alone and never come back.
I'll see you tomorrow... later after get off work~"
George opened the pizza box with a look of disgust.
In order to track and catch criminals, he often stayed in his car for days on end. It can be said that there is no pizza in New York that he has not tasted.
Having eaten pizza all his life, he now suffers from stress disorder when he sees it and thinks it doesn’t taste good.
"You don't need to come tomorrow, Gwen. I'm not a seriously ill patient who needs care. I was just shot, which is not a big deal.
I even feel like I could be discharged from the hospital right now.”
"Stay put, old George. You are no longer the middle-aged man you used to be!" Gwen spread his hands and said:
"At least, you used to brag, 'I can dodge bullets~~'"
"I can hide now!" George immediately retorted:
"It's just that the one today...was a sneak attack~"
Gwen did not comment on this. Regardless of whether George could dodge bullets, she, Gwen, could really dodge them.
……
At night, pulling the spider silk, Gwen stood on the roof of a building and waited patiently.
Soon Charlotte's voice came from behind her:
"Ghost Spider, I think you need to be more vigilant."
Sure enough, as always, Spider-Man appeared behind her without anyone noticing, and began to taunt:
"Oh my god, is your spider sense just a decoration?
Relying on it, you should be able to clearly perceive everything around you~
Just like a spider lying on a spider web, everything is trembling on your spider silk, all evil is in sight, and all living things are prey. "
"What?" Gwen understood what Charlotte meant.
Not only is it about sensing the impending danger, but it is also about using the spider sense to keep a full grasp of the surroundings, but...
"How can this be!"
Being able to predict crises in advance is an amazing superpower in Gwen's eyes. Although she is not very skilled in using it, she can still go one step further...
That’s too exaggerated!
"Oh~" Charlotte sighed, "Yes, I expected too much from you, forgetting that you are just an ordinary spider with no achievements, a poor little spider.
Maybe I should help you improve your combat performance and gradually get you used to combat and danger.
Through experience, you will grow rapidly and your abilities will be further enhanced.
Little Spider, hard days are waiting for you in the future~"
Small party food?
"Hmph!" Gwen snorted coldly and looked unhappy at the arrogant Charlotte.
Charlotte! You really think you are a senior!
With his arms folded across his chest, Gwen sneered, raised his forehead, and said confidently:
"Okay, Charlotte, I get it. Charlotte, how long are you going to pretend? Charlotte——"
Gwen asked in a long voice:
"Is your most powerful superpower your acting skills? I have to admit, I was a little fooled by you."
Charlotte blinked. The black compound eyes of the spider mask reflected the light, making it look extremely innocent.
Needless to say, I even have acting skills in my battle suits!
"Spider-Man, what nonsense are you talking about? I've already told you - I'm not Charlotte."
"Charlotte, you're still pretending! Dare you take off your Spider-Man mask and prove yourself."
"Take off the mask?" Charlotte was shocked. He couldn't take off the mask, make an ugly face, and say that he was really not Charlotte, right?
Gwen is not so gullible.
"No - the mask is the face of a superhero, Spider-Man never takes off his mask -"
"Ha~" Gwen sneered, and became more confident, pressing forward step by step:
"Charlotte, can you tell me where you went last night?
Why did my dad catch you climbing through the window in your room shortly after Spider-Man left?
Sure enough, this flaw is indeed too big.
Charlotte tried hard to explain:
"I'm not Charlotte, how do I know where Charlotte is? He's not at home, maybe... he has a hobby of streaking~"
Gwen's eyes widened. You even blame yourself! Are you planning to deny it?
"Do you know what your biggest weakness is?" Gwen asked with a smile and full of confidence.
After a slight hesitation, Charlotte shook his head. He was indeed very curious:
"Is it that my handsomeness cannot be concealed even by my mask?"
"No——" Listening to Charlotte's shameless self-praise, Gwen pouted in disdain:
“Your biggest flaw is your favorite Mickey Mouse children’s toy watch.
You wouldn't think that Spider-Man also happens to have one, and after being Spider-Man for more than 20 years, it's still as good as new! "
Damn it – I forgot that!
recognition?
It seems there is no other choice?
Of course there are options!
Charlotte had already thought of a countermeasure and was ready to clear himself and cover up all the previous flaws.
He looked at the [Make Friends Out of Nothingness] skill card very calmly.
[Make a friend out of nothing: Use this during the cleansing phase and you will automatically create a friend. 】
System, let me see where your limit is!
Thinking of this, Charlotte, full of confidence, suddenly equipped himself with a skill card!
