"Hey, honey, do you feel like we're getting more and more in sync?"
"Maybe. I don't know if it's me who has changed or you who has changed, but I feel like our cooperation is getting better and better."
"Oh, I'm so glad to hear you say that. It shows that I'm a good boyfriend. Hey, should we try again?"
"Well, why not?"
"Oh, but I want some special rewards this time."
"I really can't do anything about you... Tell me, what is the special reward?"
"A... loving kiss!"
"Oh, I take that back, that's really corny, Peter."
In the living room, MJ and Spider-Man were sitting in front of the TV, participating in a quiz show with prizes. The two of them had worked together and had passed the show several times in a row, winning various prizes such as pillows, notebooks, and yoga mats.
This is a signature activity for young couples, which originated from a knowledge quiz competition at school and is a common hobby of the two.
"Let me see. Which section should we choose this time? History? There seem to be some Asian history questions in it that I'm not very clear about. Was the first contact between the Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire during the period of the Roman Tetrarchy? It corresponds to the Romance period of the Three Kingdoms in the East. Oh my God, I seem to..." MJ picked up the remote control and began to choose between several channels.
At this moment, a news channel suddenly appeared in front of the two.
"Here's a breaking news story. A young man was found dead on the beach in Brooklyn. Some people pointed out that the deceased was a newly emerged superhero. Regarding the cause of his death..."
"Hey, wait a minute." Spider-Man reached out to stop MJ from jumping off the platform, then stood up and started reading the news.
"Oh, news lover Peter is here again..." MJ shook her head and laughed. She knew that her boyfriend had a mysterious love for the news channel.
"Don't you think this news is rare? This is a superhero, and he died on the beach like this!" Spider-Man has always been very sensitive, and his intuition tells him that this news has a very strange background.
This obviously involves some dangerous villain, or even some huge conspiracy, and since it happened in New York, it is very likely to bring harm to New York, so he wants to find out.
"It's really shocking. Ben Dilla, I've heard of this person, a young physics genius, known as the second Spider-Man. It's hard to imagine that such a person would die." MJ recalled the appearance of Spider-Man. She had seen him many times and was even saved by him once.
"Oh, that's too bad." She put Ben Dilla into the identity of Spider-Man and imagined how sad she would be if Spider-Man died.
"Hey MJ, you look like you're thinking about someone else..."
"Oh no, how could that be... Well, okay, if I have to say, the person I was thinking of was Spider-Man. If something like this happened, how terrible would it be? Hey, you don't look very natural. Is it really like the girls say, that he is the love rival of all the boys in New York?" As MJ was talking, she noticed that Peter Parker's face was flushed, so she began to tease him.
"Hey no way, I don't care about that guy, although he looks handsome and cool, he is not my opponent..."
"Peter, you look great now, very confident." MJ smiled even more brightly, "Then I'll listen to you. No one can be your opponent now, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Mysterio..."
"Lynn..." When Spider-Man heard his beloved name, his heart moved and he decided to share this matter with the other party as soon as possible.
…
"Dude, you're not scared, are you? Because the victim is the second Spider-Man, so you, the real Spider-Man, are scared?"
In the living room of Green Gold Lane, Lynn lay on the sofa with his hands stretched behind his head and played a joke on Spider-Man.
"Hey, stop with your jokes. I don't believe you don't find something wrong with this." The little spider was also lying on the sofa. He was trying to use his spider silk to aim at the flower fairies under the ceiling.
"OK, there is indeed a problem here, and it is a big problem. I learned from Nick Fury that Ben Dilla was not the only one who died. There were more than a dozen others, all of whom were new super-powered people. Logically, these are some very strong guys, but without exception—"
As Lin En spoke, he waved his magic wand and froze all the fluorescent paper flower fairies dancing on the ceiling. Then they turned into ashes and fell to the ground.
"All dead."
"Hey, that's a bit too vicious." Spider-Man said with a double meaning. He felt a little regretful when he saw those flower fairies.
"So, unless someone can find these people, the same vicious or even more vicious things will happen again, and by that time, their target will become you and me."
Lynn continued to hold the wand like a paintbrush, carving golden symbols one after another in the air.
"Spider, Iron Man, Thunder, Deathly Hallows... You see, all the death scenes left these marks, which shows that they had a clear purpose from the beginning, and wanted to use the deaths of these people to scare us."
"But what is puzzling is, what is their intention in doing this? Are they going to such great lengths just to scare people?"
Lynn tapped his head rhythmically with a wooden stick, thinking about the logic behind it.
"But they really have this ability. I have heard of a few people on the death list. They have extraordinary abilities and are not the kind of people who can be easily dealt with. If it is just for intimidation, then the true strength of the murderer is hard to imagine." Spider-Man shook his head.
"Perhaps, we should take the initiative and uncover the murderer." Lynn thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come to an effective conclusion.
This made him feel insecure.
An unknown force appeared on the New York stage, which destroyed the sense of security based on his existing cognition. He was not used to this feeling.
"Hey, this is really rare. I remember you never liked to join in the fun." Spider-Man's mouth widened. He was just struggling with how to persuade Lin En to join him in investigating the case.
"What happens to others is defined as fun, but when it happens to oneself, it becomes trouble..." Lynn tapped his wand and picked out the one that represented him from the crowd of symbols in front of him.
"So, where should we start?"
"Naturally, we'll start with the next victim. I borrowed a file on a superpowered person from Nick Fury. Maybe there's the information we need there."
