Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 320 Investigation Duo

In the dim light of night, a deserted pier outside a refugee settlement in New York.

To facilitate post-disaster reconstruction and the distribution of supplies, Stark Industries has invested significant manpower and resources in building several new temporary supply ports.

However, this place is much quieter than the other docks that are open day and night.

In the quiet of the night, two furtive figures were cautiously making their way in the dark.

"The signal stops here!"

In the darkness, Gwen, who was constantly watching the pattern on the lens of her tracking glasses, whispered a reminder.

Harry had previously told her about the strange behavior of the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigators. Although Gwen thought it might just be that her friend was being too paranoid, she ultimately decided to lend him a hand.

As for the target of the investigation, it was naturally the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent whom Harry had judged to be behaving strangely.

Fortunately, the tracking glasses that Luca had given Gwen earlier were perfect for this purpose, so the two of them simply followed the tracker's location and found the dock warehouse.

At that moment, Harry's heart skipped a beat when he saw the glasses on Gwen's face that were inexplicably glowing white, but he forced himself to concentrate and said through gritted teeth.

"There's definitely something wrong here. We need to find a way to get in and take a look!"

As he spoke, Harry actually started walking straight toward the warehouse door.

But before he could take even half a step, Gwen grabbed him.

"Don't go through the main entrance!"

After whispering this, Gwen pointed directly to a small vent on the outer wall of the warehouse above her head.

Without waiting for Harry's consent, he used his hands and feet to cling to the wall and quickly climbed towards the air vent.

"Then, what should I do?!"

The surroundings were quiet, and Harry dared not speak loudly to reveal his whereabouts. He could only anxiously watch Gwen climb the wall, preparing to use his spider silk to catch her once she reached the top.

However, to his surprise, the venom in his body immediately became dissatisfied as soon as he uttered these words.

"What? What are you going to do? You underestimate me, Venom!"

The venom that was speaking didn't 'show its face'; instead, it automatically covered Harry's entire body.

In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a black and white spider suit with a strong rubbery texture.

"Huh? This?"

"What is this? Hurry up and climb!"

Harry, who had been scolded by Venom again, didn't dare to talk back and obediently followed Gwen's example and stuck to the wall.

To his surprise, his knock-off Spider-Man suit could also stick firmly to the wall like glue.

However, when he awkwardly climbed to the open window, he found that Gwen, who had entered the warehouse before him, was now standing blankly at the window, not making any move.

"What's wrong? Don't just stand there, make room for me!"

After he finished speaking, Gwen, who was in front of him, made way for him. Harry didn't think much of it and went straight into the warehouse through the window.

However, once Harry entered the warehouse, he realized why Gwen had been standing there motionless.

Or perhaps, at this moment, even he himself was stunned and stood there in place.

The reason was that in the center of the brightly lit warehouse below, there were more than a dozen strange, green-skinned creatures staring intently at the window where the two of them were.

"Gudu~"

Harry's Adam's apple bobbed, and he froze, unsure what to say. Gwen, who had entered earlier, instead spoke up in a low, hushed tone.

"This is the Green Goblin serum you were talking about?"

The next moment, gunshots rang out.

In the center of the warehouse, the dozen or so green goblins simultaneously pulled out pistols and frantically pulled the triggers at the two men.

What's even more bizarre is that while these dozen or so green-skinned individuals were firing their guns, they all simultaneously changed into completely new looks, each dressed in a suit and tie with a serious expression, exuding the aura of high-level secret agents.

For a moment, Gwen and Harry seemed like villains who had invaded a S.H.I.E.L.D. base and were being hunted down by 'righteous agents'.

Fortunately, Gwen, with her spider senses and new suit, is not afraid of these ordinary guns at all.

Possessed by Venom, Harry defiantly withstood the oncoming pistol bullets and leaped directly into the 'goblin' crowd.

This time, it seems that these enemies did not prepare those targeted sonic daggers in advance.

Unrestrained Venom is like a tiger among sheep, quickly taking down large numbers of enemies.

Finally, Gwen only symbolically knocked out the two with her electric webs before Venom had taken care of all the other enemies.

However, after the battle ended quickly, Venom, standing in the center of the goblins who had reverted to their original forms, suddenly fell into deep thought and spoke.

"Harry, these greens don't look like your dad!?"

"."

"No, I mean, their physical attributes don't seem to have been modified into those of super soldiers!"

Harry was taken aback at first, but he quickly realized that it seemed to be true.

If these dozen or so green-skinned monsters were indeed super soldiers enhanced by the 'Green Goblin Serum,' this battle wouldn't have ended so quickly, even without the sonic dagger from last time.

"So, are these really the serum products that your father and Dr. Otto created together?"

In reality, these words were just a subconscious remark from Gwen, but as soon as she finished speaking, the two of them froze, looked at each other, and said in unison.

"Something's wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D." x2
After confirming this, a look of regret immediately appeared on Harry's face.

"My father didn't just disappear! He was definitely tied up and replaced by these guys!"

Gwen glanced at the goblins lying on the ground and said with a serious expression.

"We need to take these guys back to the lab and have Dr. Otto check them out!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely not a product of the Green Goblin serum! These are not Earth creatures at all!"

Inside the laboratory, looking at the preliminary test results that had just come out, Dr. Otto said with absolute certainty.

When Harry told Dr. Otto that Norman could create clones, transform into green monsters, and disguise himself as other people, Dr. Otto had already been skeptical.

However, the name 'Green Goblin Serum' was given by Norman himself, and the blood samples collected by S.H.I.E.L.D. were indeed Norman Osborn's blood after he underwent the Green Goblin transformation.

This led him to doubt himself, wondering if Norman had secretly developed some new tricks based on the Green Goblin serum.

But the green-skinned monster that Gwen and the other brought back had no resemblance to Norman's blood sample at all, and it wasn't even human. So how could it be a serum enhancer?
"No! What if the Norman blood that S.H.I.E.L.D. brought back is fake?"

"Clang~"

No sooner had Dr. Otto uttered these words than the laboratory door was kicked open.
