Chapter 96 Damn it, I can’t use the name Lizard Empire anymore!
Bruce Banner's heart tightened when his name was called.
He quickly looked around to make sure no one noticed him, then he reached out and pulled Charlotte to the side of the street and said:
"How did you recognize me? I don't think I revealed any flaws!"
From beginning to end, he never introduced his name. Even when facing Dr. Arthur, he introduced himself as Bruce Wayne.
After all, it made perfect sense to want to enter Arkham Asylum and tell Dr. Arthur that he was Bruce Wayne.
"Hehe~ I won't tell you."
You can't say it's because you have a face that's between "Primal Fear" and Uncle Mark.
"You--" Bruce was speechless. Charlotte didn't want to say it, but he couldn't force Charlotte to say it by force.
“Parker, since you know my identity, you naturally understand what I’ve been through.
Due to an experimental accident, I was exposed to gamma rays and my body mutated.
There's a big, powerful, angry creature hiding inside me, and if my heart rate speeds up or I start to get angry, he'll burst out of me and destroy everything he sees!
I have been hiding here and there for the past few years and have suffered greatly..."
Charlotte asked in a somewhat strange tone:
"So, Dr. Banner, why do you think I can save you?"
"It's because of science!" Bruce's expression immediately became serious.
He took out a notebook from his worn cloth bag and opened it in front of Charlotte. It was filled with densely packed calculation formulas. Bruce explained patiently:
"I have a friend... No! What's that expression on your face! I really have a friend..."
"Ah~ It's okay~ It's okay~ Dr. Banner, don't worry about it~ Just continue talking." Charlotte said with a strange smile of seeing through everything.
"My friend, he...well~" Bruce looked defeated.
"This person is indeed me, and I am looking for you... because of very scientific mathematics..."
Although this statement was a bit outrageous, Bruce maintained a serious expression to show his seriousness.
As expected, it would be better to say that you have a friend so you won’t feel so embarrassed.
"Mathematics?" Charlotte was dumbfounded at first.
What do you mean?
Bruce gave up and demonstrated his calculation process:
"One day, I was walking on the road, that day I was near Arkham Sanatorium, and suddenly I was fixed in place by an inexplicable force.
At that time, I couldn't move at all. Countless thoughts flew through my mind and countless inspirations flashed through my heart.
Although most of them were quickly forgotten in an instant, I still caught one of them.
Wrote this formula.
I gave him a nice name, Bruce Banner Formula.
The function of this formula is that it can be used for calculations.
Yes, after a lot of detailed calculations, I finally flipped a coin and caught it to see which one came up heads or tails.
Then, I was sure that the person who held me at that time could save me from suffering.
This is not superstition, this is science!!!
After investigation, I learned that person is you, Charlotte Parker."
Bruce looked serious.
Charlotte studied the mathematical formula above and could not help but nodded in admiration:
"And quantum mechanics!! It's really profound. I can tell at a glance that Dr. Banner~ you found me.
You are right."
Bruce continued:
"I've been scouting Arkham for the past two days... no - I mean investigating... I didn't expect to find you."
Bruce's eyes sparkled with joy, and he opened his hands impatiently and begged:
"Help me, Parker! I've had enough of this life of fear. I just want a safe life..."
Charlotte shook her head with regret and said:
"Dr. Banner, I can't help you right now.
I believe there is nothing wrong with your science, but ~ you may have underestimated the time.
Maybe one day in the future I can help you, at least not now~"
Your future self will have recovered, so there's no need for me to help you.
"The future..." Bruce's expression was dull and his eyes darkened.
He has been looking for a way to get rid of the Hulk over the years.
What I got was despair again and again.
He believed in God, worshipped Buddha, controlled his own body and mind, and asked other scientists for help.
He tried to swallow the gun himself, but turned into Hulk and spit out the bullet.
In desperation, he returned to New York, but was robbed of all his money.
He suppressed his anger and began to wander.
After a brief period of wandering, he finally decided to hide in a mental hospital and restrict himself with drugs.
Bruce certainly knew that his formula was ridiculous, but Charlotte was his only remaining hope.
And now, this hope has also been shattered.
Bruce took a step back and almost fell to the ground.
He was supported by Charlotte who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
"I'm fine, I'm fine... I can wait..."
Seeing Bruce walking away after leaving a message, Charlotte shook her head. Really...
Don't you even ask about the price?
I am not cheap!
After the separation, Charlotte walked on the streets of New York, and the city was filled with a faint sadness.
Red roses were placed on the streets where Spider-Man once walked, and many people spontaneously organized a memorial for Spider-Man.
A huge photo of Spider-Man with his middle finger raised and shooting spider silk was projected on a big screen in New York Square.
Looking at Spider-Man, many people were sobbing quietly.
In honor of Spider-Man...
Some people hung themselves from street lights, and some took off their pants and tied themselves up.
They held blood-red roses in their mouths, commemorating all the time Spider-Man existed.
Charlotte nodded affirmatively. It was really touching.
But~you don't have to be sad, Spider-Man won the resurrection match and he is back.
Be surprised! Be touched! Be prepared to scream at the power of Spider-Man!
Charlotte waved the commemorative suit on her body and put her hands behind her back, enjoying their praise and commemoration of Spider-Man.
This is so cheesy~
This is so perfunctory~
This bastard is riding on my popularity...
Damn it! Big Thunder! Never mind~ I forgive you~
Oh, this is so perverted. But I like it...
What? We're raising money to build a statue of Spider-Man shooting webs and place it in the middle of Times Square to commemorate Spider-Man?
I'll give a penny to encourage you.
The night is getting dark.
Earlier, Connors was arrested by the police and was despised by everyone as the bastard who killed Spider-Man.
But he never revealed the identity of the other lizard man, as he didn't want Charlotte's reputation to be damaged because of his mistake.
He just strongly requested to meet Charlotte's family.
Gwen returned home, distraught.
Over and over again, I dialed the number that Charlotte couldn't get through.
My eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Charlotte's voice came from his phone:
"Beep - this is Charlotte Parker's voice message.
Come on, talk~ little cutie~ let me hear which beep is calling me, you beep beep beep—
Beep beep beep beep beep…
Okay, I’m done scolding you. Oh, by the way, I won’t listen to your message.”
Gwen's tears welled up in her eyes. She picked up the pillow to cover her face and was about to open her mouth to cry out loudly.
I vaguely heard the familiar voice again in my ears.
"Hi Gwen"
