Fierce gunshots were heard in the quiet neighborhood, waking up the surrounding neighbors.
Since local gangs rarely participate in turf wars and their businesses are rarely interfered with by others, they usually do not engage in gunfights with others. Therefore, a few brave residents quietly sneaked forward to find out the truth.
However, when they got closer, they found that there was no brutal gang fight going on, just a group of people firing blanks into the night.
"Go to hell!" Sam, the owner of the herbal medicine shop, was one of the people who was awakened. After hearing the harsh music and the empty gunshots, he thought that these young people were playing some rebellious culture again, and began to lament that each generation was inferior to the previous one.
Little did he know that he himself was one of the triggers.
The person who caused the incident is now sitting at home, chatting around the fire with hot drinks.
"Please sit down." Lin En welcomed the little Spider who had hurried over into the room.
Previously, they split into two groups, with Lynn leading the mutants to teleport first, while Spider-Man acted alone, and finally met at Lynn's home in Green Gold Lane.
Now, Lynn had prepared hot tea and a warm fire, and Spider-Man arrived just in time.
"Thank you." Spider-Man took the hot tea, hesitated for a moment, then lifted up half of his mask, leaving only his mouth exposed to sip.
"Oh, shocking news, the mysterious Mr. Spider-Man actually revealed half of his true identity." Lynn teased.
"Hey, brother, this is really not a friendly topic. What we need to do most now is to uncover the true identity of this mutant." Spider-Man immediately put on his mask.
"OK, OK, now let's invite our guests."
Lynn waved his wand and summoned their trophy of the night, along with the chair and the person, to the fireplace.
At this time, the strange mutant had been tied tightly to a chair, with only his mouth able to move.
"Oh, he doesn't seem to be in a good state." When Spider-Man saw the mutant again, he was shocked by his appearance.
At this time, his face had completely turned into a crocodile, and it was almost impossible to distinguish any human features. His limbs also gradually became swollen and began to grow hard scales.
This is a more serious mutation than when we caught him before.
"Resurrect quickly." Lynn waved his wand and the mutant woke up.
Unexpectedly, the mutant who woke up did not show strong aggression. Instead, after seeing the environment clearly, he curled up desperately, but because of the knot, he looked quite painful.
He spoke, his voice became unclear due to the changes in his body structure, but his tone sounded like he was begging for something.
Lynn and Spider listened carefully for a while before they could hear what he was saying.
"Cigarette, cigarette, give me a cigarette..."
Lin En remembered that when he first met this mutant, he was hiding in the room smoking that kind of cigarette.
"I'm sorry, I can't satisfy you."
But after hearing Lin En's reply, the mutant suddenly became extremely frightened. He struggled to recite something with a desperate tone.
"Save me, save me, give me a cigarette..."
"What's the connection between saving you and giving you cigarettes?" Lin En suddenly realized the problem.
“Yes, you can save me…” The mutant nodded desperately as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Seeing this, Lin En and Spider-Man looked at each other in surprise.
However, before they could discuss it, the mutant's condition suddenly changed. The unclear sound from his mouth turned into some kind of animal-like whimpering, and the whole person was no longer curled up, but desperately trying to break free.
"roar!"
"roar!"
"Hey man, it looks like he's completely mutated." Spider-Man leaned back cautiously.
"Damn, he hasn't revealed any information yet!" Lynn naturally discovered this, and he began to wonder if all his efforts tonight were in vain.
This mutant is obviously related to Mutant Jack and is their only clue at the moment. But looking at his current appearance, he doesn't look like someone who can speak human language at all.
"Confuse the public!" Lynn tried to save the situation.
The mutants responded by becoming quiet and dull, but that was all.
Then Lin En asked several questions, but the mutant seemed to have lost his language system. He just looked at Lin En with his ugly eyes, stupid and silent.
"Oh no, should we change the plan now and go to Stark Industries to get some serum? I remember they admitted the people who were bitten on the beach that day." Spider-Man jumped up from the sofa and circled around the mutant.
"Hey Corporal Spider-Man, I don't know if you have ever heard this saying: Don't be afraid when you encounter difficulties, overcome them bravely, and perhaps we have other ways." Lynn was ashamed of Spider-Man's behavior of always trying to take advantage of Iron Man and Doctor Strange.
"It's very philosophical, but it's obviously not applicable to the current situation. I think his condition is getting worse, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't die unexpectedly."
"In that case, we don't have much time left..." Lynn agreed with Spider-Man.
At this moment, his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about whether there was any way to reverse this mutation.
However, after a few minutes, he still had no clue. He looked up and saw that Spider-Man had circled the mutant for who knows how many times.
Lin En took a breath to clear his mind. This feeling of being unable to use one's strength was really frustrating.
If only I could crack open your skull and take a look...
Lynn complained silently.
Huh? Open your head
His eyes lit up and his body immediately jumped up from the sofa.
"Hey, are we going to act now?" Spider-Man misunderstood his intention.
"No, no, no, I've got an idea!"
Lynn said this and quickly ran up the stairs. A moment later, he came down with a notebook.
"What is this? A magic textbook?" Spider-Man was quite curious.
"This is a professor's masterpiece, an outstanding notebook..." Lynn answered as he approached the mutant in front of the fireplace.
“Then let me knock on your head now…” Lin En sat down, looked at the page of the notebook in his hand again, and then closed his eyes tightly.
"Legendary!"
As soon as the spell was cast, an invisible passage opened between him and the mutant. He felt as if his soul was leaving his body. As long as he walked forward along the passage, he would be able to enter the ocean of consciousness of the person in front of him.
"bite-"
Lin En's eyes suddenly turned dark, as if he had entered some mysterious world.
The next moment when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a familiar place.
Astoria, Queens.
He felt like he was standing at a gathering of the Scorpion Tail Gang, listening to a speech by a rather dignified old man. That should be Carlos, the boss of the Scorpion Tail Gang. However, his eyes were never focused on Carlos, but on a girl.
The girl sat obediently next to Carlos, glancing at him from time to time with a look of apology.
The scene changed, and he appeared in a basement again, where a man seemed to be imprisoned. He couldn't see the man's face in the darkness, but he could feel the murderous light coming from his strange eyes.
Then he threw in a packet of powdery substance.
The prisoner pounced on the bag of powder hungrily, and laughed miserably in the dim light near the exit:
"Very good, you kept your promise, and I will do the same."
It's Mutant Jack!
