#672 - Threats and Saul's Visit
“Smack!”
Cindy Moon’s slap was definitely not light. The loud sound echoed in the empty, unfinished building. Fortunately, Cindy Parker was a superhuman; an ordinary person would probably have had their brains splattered.
(From now on, Cindy Moon will be referred to by her last name, Moon, while Cindy Parker will still be called Cindy, to distinguish between them.)
Even so, the web stuck to Cindy's mouth flew off with the force of the slap. Without the web obscuring it, the red mark on Cindy's cheek was immediately revealed, and a trace of scarlet blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
It was also fortunate that Cindy was bound in a cocoon; otherwise, she would definitely have been knocked to the ground by the massive force.
Even so, Cindy didn't scream. It wasn't because she was brave, but because she was terrified of Moon. After capturing her, Moon had used methods to extract everything she knew, a process that only took ten minutes.
Cindy felt spineless, but Moon was just too skilled. Before she could even show off her abilities, Cindy had already spilled everything she knew like beans from a bamboo tube.
So, even though Moon had slapped her face in a very humiliating way, Cindy couldn't muster a trace of anger. She only felt fear. This fledgling Spider-Woman was just a young girl; she hadn't even finished high school, so Moon had her completely under control.
Fear surged into her heart, and Cindy felt a pang in her nose, her eyes welling up. But even crying, she didn't dare make a sound, only daring to sob quietly.
“The name you gave me for Peter Parker is incorrect.”
As Moon spoke, she pulled Cindy's hair. The pain from the roots made Cindy, who was sobbing, unable to help but cry out. Facing the latter's wail, the former's heart didn't waver in the slightest.
“Are you trying to expose me with this little detail?” Moon pressed her forehead against Cindy's, putting pressure on Cindy through a condescending attitude and close proximity.
“Unfortunately, your plan didn't succeed. You should be glad you didn't lie to me about your relationship, or I would have taken your life.”
“No! I was wrong! I was wrong! Please forgive me~”
The earlier words were terrified shouts, but later Cindy's voice had already been distorted by fear and pain.
Looking at the face that was no different from her own, Moon felt disgusted. She thought she would never see fear on this face again. This familiar yet unfamiliar expression reminded her of some bad things.
But she couldn't kill Cindy Parker yet, at least not before she had fully integrated into this world. She didn't fully know the way to interact with her family, and she might reveal herself in interactions with close people.
Moreover, Moon was encountering her parallel universe counterpart for the first time. She didn't know if the genes in her body would be different from Cindy's, who had Parker family genes. If she encountered some scenarios that required gene testing, she might be exposed.
Therefore, until she found a solution, she could only let Cindy live. But Cindy herself was her biggest weakness, and Moon had to hide this weakness well until she could completely replace Cindy.
“I don’t want there to be a next time,” Moon said harshly.
“If you dare to play these little tricks again next time, I will definitely kill your family before I kill you. I will let you die full of pain and torment.”
Cindy lowered her head, her body trembling uncontrollably. After a while, she replied intermittently.
“No, there won’t… be a next time…”
…
“Knock, knock, knock!”
The rapid but rhythmic knocking stopped politely after three knocks. Only if the host didn't respond for a long time would the guest knock again.
With the doubt of who would be visiting, Gwen walked to the intercom next to the door, wanting to see who would be knocking on Gwenpool's door.
Because Gwenpool was a restless person, she had already become restless ten minutes after Yang Le and Valeria ran to the pocket universe to experiment. After entrusting her base entirely to Gwen, she went to the multiverse to venture out on her own.
And since the Sentry robot siege, Katie had become even more afraid of contacting outsiders, so this kind of work was now only suitable for Gwen to do.
Opening the intercom, Gwen immediately saw a blond strongman wearing a winged helmet, chainmail, and holding a short hammer. This appearance was too recognizable, and even Gwen could recognize who was standing outside the door at a glance.
Although she knew the identity of the strongman outside the door, Gwen still remembered the multiverse precautions that Yang Le had told her, one of which was that if you saw someone familiar in another universe, don't go up and talk to them as if you were very familiar.
Because the person you think is familiar doesn't know you, and your self-righteous words and deeds can easily offend others. It is very likely that a conversation will cause unnecessary trouble.
Not only that, but a few casual words you say may cause changes to this parallel universe's acquaintance, because the person you meet may not have experienced what you said.
The most up-to-date novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
A few words may cause a huge change in a person's life, so Yang Le generally implements a parallel universe stranger strategy, that is, when coming to a new universe, pretend to know nothing and contact others.
Unless the person he faces has the concept of the multiverse, Yang Le generally will not break this rule, because a series of chain reactions that may occur are not easily affordable for him.
And Gwen, under the influence of Yang Le's words and deeds, naturally favors this rule, so she also decided to treat the Thor in front of her as a stranger.
“Who are you? And what's the matter?”
Gwen's voice came from the intercom. The sudden voice didn't scare Thor, because he had already seen similar things in the process of searching for superhumans. He just thought it was fun when he saw it for the first time.
After all, Asgard is a country where magic and technology coexist, and whether it is magic or technology, the average value of Asgard exceeds that of Earth today. Asgard also has similar things like intercoms, Thor just didn't expect Midgard to have them too.
After all, in his impression, Midgard's technology was still stuck hundreds or thousands of years ago. According to the Asgardians' perception, this matter was almost like it happened last month. Such a big change surprised Thor.
It seems that the progress of the Midgardians is also very rapid. Even with such a short lifespan, they can still make such progress. You really can't underestimate the people of the world.
