Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 234 The Daily Bugle, Spider-Man's Colleague

Today is another beautiful day in New York City.

Because I am about to graduate from high school.

Peter Parker, who works part-time to earn money for his studies on weekdays, has recently started looking for a new part-time job.

Before becoming Spider-Man, Peter also did a lot of part-time jobs.

Work as a waiter in a restaurant and provide home tutoring for children.

Of course, the ones who do the most work are the delivery guys from pizza shops.

After becoming Spider-Man, Peter Parker thought that delivering food would be easier and faster.

In fact, he did deliver the food faster.

It’s a pity that the pizzas in those pizza boxes don’t last until they reach the hands of customers and are smashed into pieces.

In the end, the pizza guy couldn’t make it.

It is also because of Xu Wang’s death that even though so much time has passed, Peter Parker still can’t get over it.

This allowed him to spend more of his spare time fighting criminals.

Spider-Man appears in front of the public more and more frequently.

Naturally, there will be even less time to work.

Uncle Ben and Aunt May also noticed Peter's abnormality, and they knew very well why Peter was like this.

So not long ago, the two of them took Peter aside and had a heart-to-heart talk with him.

Gwen Stacy also comforted Peter for a long time.

Finally, Peter realized that he couldn't go on like this.

People always have to look forward.

Always focus on the present and future life.

Considering that after I graduate, I will soon become an adult.

The conditions at home are not that good.

He is an adult now and should share some of the pressure with Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

However, Peter doesn't want to give up his hero identity for work.

So, he had to find a relatively free job.

This allows him to fight crime while making money at the same time.

After looking for a job for a few days, Peter Parker finally chose the position of photojournalist for the Daily Bugle.

He mainly took pictures of Spider-Man, that is, he could make money by selling his own pictures to newspapers.

This is a good job for him.

The owner and editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle is named J. Jonah Jameson.

Although he is a man with a bad temper, for some reason, he seems to hate Spider-Man.

But it doesn’t matter. At least during the interview a few days ago, he decided to sign me, and he was actually quite good to me.

No urging.

Although Jameson hates Spider-Man, he still likes Peter Parker.

Today is Peter's first day at work.

He got up early and went to the Daily Bugle on 39th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan.

This 46-story news building is entirely owned by the Daily Bugle.

On the roof, there is the logo of the Daily Bugle, which is also one of the landmarks of Manhattan.

After entering the building, Peter Parker originally planned to report to Jameson.

As a result, before I could even get to the editor-in-chief's office, when I was passing by the toilet in the corridor, I heard someone shouting in the women's toilet next to me, "Catch the Peeping Tom!"
Spider-Man is full of justice.

Of course, Peter couldn't just ignore this.

I didn't even bother to report it.

He quickly found a deserted place, changed into Spider-Man's suit, and came to the outside of the women's restroom, carefully sticking his head inside to look.

The main concern is seeing something I shouldn’t see.

The result was unexpected.

Peter Parker actually saw the man he had been thinking about day and night!

Hope!

He saw him again.

Ever since that night when Peter pulled back the spider silk with his own hands and almost tore Xu Wang in half.

Peter seemed to be suffering from a mental illness.

Not only does he often lose focus, he also sees hallucinations of Xu Wang everywhere.

Some time ago, I even heard Xu Wang's voice twice.

They even have a brief conversation.

It was too real to be an illusion.

Peter and Uncle Ben also talked about this.

But Uncle Ben and Aunt May both thought that Peter was blaming himself too much.

Xu Wang is dead, that is an indisputable fact.

But what's going on now?

Is this also an illusion?

Is there something wrong with my mind? PTSD?

"Snapped!"

At this moment, the shoe of the 18-year-old black lady suddenly flew out and hit Peter in the face.

This woke Peter Parker up instantly!

No, it’s definitely not an illusion!
I saw Xu Wang and the black lady still fighting with each other in a very ungraceful manner.

Peter rushed over and pulled the two apart.

During the fight, the two people who were fighting accidentally pulled her hair twice.

Almost ripped his Spider-Man mask off.

Fortunately, Spider-Man was very strong and was able to separate the two people.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Calm down! Calm down, both of you!"

Peter spoke up.

The black lady was pushed away by Spider-Man with one hand and could not get close to Xu Wang, but she was not angry at all. Instead, she was still screaming: "Spider-Man, let me go! I must beat this four-eyed guy to death!"

"Come on! You want to be whipped, don't you, fat woman?"

Xu Wang didn't spoil her either.

This made the black lady even angrier, and she swung her fists and kicked at Xu Wang.

But there was Spider-Man between the two of them, so they couldn't hit each other at all.

So the black lady simply reached into the collar of her shirt, pulled out a huge bra, and threw it towards Xu Wang!
When Xu Wang saw this, he exclaimed “Ah!”

Just like Bruce Lee, he jumped up and did a roundhouse kick, kicking the bra back onto Peter's head.

This made Peter Parker even more helpless.

But at the same time he felt helpless, he also felt a sense of anticipation and joy in his heart.

This feeling is right!

It’s Xu Wang!

Every time I am with Xu Wang, he always makes me feel helpless and speechless.

"Hey! Listen to me, Dolando, this must be a misunderstanding. I know him, he's a friend, he's a hero! Believe me, he definitely wouldn't do something like going into the women's restroom...right?"

Peter Parker wanted to speak for Xu Wang at first.

But later on, thinking of Xu Wang's often unexpected behavior, I became a little less sure.

But the black lady Dolando didn't care about that.

She turned her head to look at Peter Parker in surprise, covered her mouth with her hands, and said in surprise: "You know me?!"

Peter choked.

Dorando is also an employee of the Daily Bugle.

When he came for the interview a few days ago, it was Dolando who led the way, so of course he knew the route.

It's just that I accidentally called out the name in a hurry just now.

Looking at Dolando's eyes full of surprise, Peter quickly added: "I saw your work badge."

Dorando lowered his head when he heard this and saw the name tag on his chest.

Then she looked at Peter and raised her eyebrows: "You like me?" "Huh?!"

Peter was dumbfounded. Where did the other party come to this conclusion?

Dorando laughed and slapped Peter hard on the chest!

Spider-Man couldn't help but shake his body.

The black lady then said, "Since you are guaranteeing him, then I will believe you, Little Spider~"

Having said that, Dorando threw another wink, turned around, twisted her big butt and prepared to leave.

Peter quickly pulled off the huge bra on his head: "Your stuff."

Dolando turned around and smiled, "This is for you, Spider-Man."

"Huh--!"

Peter Parker threw away his bra quickly as if it was burned.

I shivered all over as if I had been electrocuted!

Although Xu Wang was also disgusted, he was watching a good show from the side and was mostly happy at this time.

"You're so lucky, Spider-Man."

Xu Wang joked from the side.

"Don't tease me, Xu Wang."

Peter turned around and looked at Xu Wang helplessly.

Looking at Xu Wang's familiar smile and seeing him standing in front of him alive, a surge of emotion suddenly surged in my chest!
Peter Parker felt a little choked up, and took a step forward and hugged Xu Wang: "Mr. Xu Wang, I thought you were dead... We even held a funeral for you, but we didn't even find your body."

Peter Parker is Marvel's most famous superhero.

But after all, he is just a middle school student who has not yet reached adulthood.

Xu Wang was also somewhat moved when Peter hugged him.

So he immediately shouted in disbelief: "What?! You said Xu Wang is dead?! Impossible! I don't believe it! How did he die!"

Peter Parker: “?”

Xu Wang's reaction was totally beyond Spider-Man's expectations.

What does he mean?
Peter Parker has always been proud of his smart brain.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that his brain seemed not enough.

So Peter Parker let go of Xu Wang, looked at him, and asked in confusion: "Mr. Xu Wang, what do you mean?"

Xu Wang started crying, tears streaming down his face: "I am not Xu Wang, I am Xu Da Wang, Xu Wang is my long-lost twin brother.

When we were born, the nurse took my brother and I by mistake and gave us to two different families. From then on, we lived different lives.

I didn't know about this until recently.

This time I came to New York to find him.

did not expect……"

At this point, Xu Wang burst into tears and quickly lowered his head.

He reached into the Subspace waist bag and took out a handful of chili pepper, then quietly rubbed it on his eyes.

When Xu Wang looked up again, his eyes were terribly red.

Tears flowed out like water from a floodgate, increasing in volume!

Peter Parker saw Xu Wang like this.

At first I didn’t want to believe it and thought Xu Wang was playing a prank again.

But seeing Xu Wang so sad, he couldn't help but believe it a little.

At this moment, the surprise in my heart about my friend's resurrection instantly turned into guilt.

Peter lowered his head towards Xu Wang: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault that Xu Wang was harmed. If it weren't for me..."

"No, I know you, Spider-Man, you're a hero."

Xu Wang’s face was distorted from crying.

Fuck!
This pepper is too spicy, it hurts my eyes!
But I have to act in the play, and in order to prank Peter, I have to endure it no matter how painful it is!
So Xu Wang gritted his teeth and continued: "I believe Xu Wang's death must have meaning. Tell me, Spider-Man, did he become a hero?"

When Peter heard this, his thoughts were pulled back to a few months ago.

On the fishing boat under the Williamsburg Bridge, there was a tall figure holding a trash can lid shield, standing firmly in front of them.

Peter Parker took a deep breath and nodded: "He is a real hero! A more qualified hero than me!"

After hearing this, Xu Wang felt very happy.

I couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of my mouth.

The expression on his face suddenly became more abstract.

Crying, feeling pain, and laughing.

But Xu Wang was still able to hold it together, so he put out his hands to cover Peter Parker's eyes, raised his head and laughed silently!
Peter's view was suddenly blocked, and his mind was filled with confusion.

Fortunately, Xu Wang put his hand down soon and said solemnly, "That's good. My brother has always wanted to be a hero. At least his wish has finally come true."

After saying that, Xu Wang immediately changed the subject: "Okay, Spider-Man, I know there are still countless people in this world who need you to save, so I won't waste your time.

Please, leave me alone for a while, okay?"

Peter nodded dejectedly and left the ladies' room.

When Xu Wang saw that Peter had finally left, he jumped to the sink next to him like a monkey, turned on the faucet and rinsed his eyes.

He couldn't stand the spiciness of chili peppers.

Although it's very uncomfortable.

But the prank was successful and Peter Parker was deceived, which made Xu Wang very happy.

My eyes don't hurt as much anymore.

Rinse a little bit.

During this period, other female employees also entered the women's restroom.

But Xu Wang acted as if it was a matter of course, which made them think they had gone to the wrong bathroom.

When they went out to confirm and came back, Xu Wang had already left through the window.

Same with Peter Parker.

Now Xu Wang also has to go to the editor-in-chief's office to report to Jonah Jameson.

If his guess was correct, Spider-Man should now also be a reporter for this news media.

They can also become colleagues.

There will be many opportunities for contact in the future, and it will surely be very interesting.

As for whether his sudden acting today could deceive Peter all the time.

Xu Wang actually doesn't care.

Anyway, it's enough for the deception to be successful now. When Spider-Man finds out the truth, I will have one more thing to tease Peter about.

Hahaha!
Xu Wang, in a good mood, randomly grabbed a future colleague, asked about the location of the editor-in-chief's office, and walked over there.

"Boom boom boom!"

Standing outside the office door, Xu Wang knocked on the door politely.

"Come in."

Jameson's voice came from inside.

Sounds like you're in a good mood.

Xu Wang pushed the door open and saw two people in the office.

The man with his back to him was Peter Parker who had taken off his spider suit.

He turned around and saw Xu Wang, then quickly looked away.

Spider-Man is not good at acting and is currently thinking about his script.

The other person is the owner of the Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson.

This middle-aged man has a short buzz cut and a well-groomed beard.

I didn't know what we were talking about just now.

At this time, he tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and smiled, revealing his double chin.

"Hahahaha! Xu Wang, you're here just in time. This is Peter Parker. You two will be reporters for the Daily Bugle from now on. Get to know each other."

Jameson had a smile on his face and waved to Xu Wang to come closer.

"Xu Wang? Isn't that Xu Da Wang?"

Peter Parker raised his head suddenly, his face full of suspicion.

Xu Wang was quite calm, not panicking at all. He walked to Peter's side, stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "Hello, Peter Parker, I'm Xu Wang."
