I'm not Spider-Man, even though I'm parasitized by an alien!

"Have you forgotten? Didn't I say I was going to give you a surprise? Don't tell me you're not happy with this surprise."

Helen took off her sunglasses, leaned closer to Peter, and whispered, "Or do you want to get rid of me as your 'Queen' mother and guardian?"

"Peter?"

Aunt May asked Peter from inside the room, "Who's outside?"

“My new neighbor, Aunt Mei.”

After giving her a warning, Peter had no choice but to let her in.

Aunt May and Uncle Ben were stunned when they saw Helen walk in.

“I am Helen Nolan, the new neighbor who moved in next door.”

Helen introduced herself in a very friendly manner and took out a gift from behind her back, saying, "This is a banana pie I prepared."

Seeing how polite the other party was, Aunt Mei realized what was going on and immediately began to warmly welcome them.

Although Helen appears a bit cold, her disguise skills are excellent, and she quickly won over Aunt May's favor.

Aunt May even wanted her to stay for dinner.

After a lively dinner, which Peter found somewhat odd, he saw her out.

“Aunt May’s cooking is very good. Would you mind if I came to bother you next time, Peter?”

Helen asked Peter.

"No, but only if you don't hurt them."

Peter warned her, "Otherwise you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

Helen sighed dramatically, "I thought we were partners, but I never imagined there would be such a rift between us."

"Did you really think that black cat could save you last time? I just went along with it and let you leave. See, Peter, you always have the worst suspicions about me."

Peter was not fooled by her act. He said to Helen, "After all, you are the kind of woman who looks dangerous."

“We’re all like that, Peter.”

Helen shrugged and said to Peter, "Now I want to see the Queen. Is she there?"

at the same time.

Outside New York City.

At the Gas Wetlands, mist began to rise from the swamp.

Peter and Helen stood there, observing their surroundings.

The mist first covered their shoes, then spread up to their calves, and finally enveloped them completely like a white membrane.

“After nightfall, I often bring the Queen here. She likes the environment here, and she will return to the manor on her own before dawn.”

Peter told Helen about his recent arrangements for the "Queen".

Helen frowned as she looked at the surrounding swamp and said to Peter, "This place is not safe."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Mr. Space Knight, it seems you are still unaware of the dangers of the world."

Helen reached out and stroked the queen standing before her.

The Queen seemed somewhat resistant to Helen's approach, but after glancing at Peter and seeing that her master did not object, she allowed Helen to stroke its smooth head.

Helen affectionately stroked the Queen and said to Peter, "There are many things in this world that cannot be explained."

Peter glanced at her and asked, "Do you mean vampires, or werewolves?"

“An incredible power that exists independently of that.”

Helen withdrew her hand from the Queen and said, "If you're interested, I wouldn't mind showing you around."

After a moment of contemplation, Peter agreed, "Of course, in reality, there aren't many things in this world that I find incredible."

Chapter 140 Beautiful Teacher: What exactly have I become to Peter?

The two people and the alien stood in a swamp.

"This is the Ghost Swamp, which is said to have been cursed."

Helen calmly explained to Peter, "A voodoo queen once placed a curse here. Anyone who enters this swamp will lose themselves unless they sacrifice their soul. In return, she will let you out of the swamp and let you see what you want to see within it."

Peter frowned at Helen. "You mean we're all cursed now?"

"No, it's just a legend. People go in every year, but not many get lost. What I want you to see is not a legend."

Peter listened to her words and looked out over the swamp; he could sense that something was amiss here.

The sound of the wind howling through the area was like someone laughing loudly, then turning into sobbing. After a moment of silence, the laughter resumed, then turned into a madman's wailing.

The surrounding mist enveloped the two of them like a dream.

The laughter disappeared, leaving only the howling wind, a sound that could be heard but not felt.

Peter looked around and said to Helen, "It sounds like a human voice, but it should just be the call of an abyss migrating south."

But the sound soon returned, this time from the left, and a moment later it sounded behind him.

It seemed to be right behind me, as if if I turned around the next second I would see a bloody, snarling thing with glowing eyes.

Suddenly, the white light in the swamp mist disappeared, and Peter immediately noticed something not far ahead, something that was looking at him with ill intent and muttering something.

The creature's eyes were sunken and gleamed with a grayish-blue light. Its mouth was turned downwards, with its lower lip everted to reveal dark brown teeth that were almost rotten to the gums.

What surprised Peter even more was its ears, which were not ears at all, but crooked horns... not the horns of a devil, but the horns of a ram.

This frightening, constantly shifting face seems to be speaking or laughing.

Its mouth was moving, and although its lower lip never returned to its normal position, the blood vessels there were throbbing, and the nasal hairs in its nostrils were flapping, as if it were breathing and exhaling white air.

Peter calmed the agitated "Queen" and asked Helen, "What is that?"

It looks like a zombie, but also like a demon from hell.

Although seeing this scene on such a terrifying night was somewhat horrifying, Peter had experienced even more terrifying things, so this kind of thing did not frighten him at all.

"Didn't you want to know my past?"

Helen gazed at the monster in the distance and said to Peter, "After being adopted by the Japanese, I became their tool for reviving the Hand. They pinned their hopes on the 'beast' within me to gain power, but this being from hell, from another dimension, possesses power beyond their expectations."

"Their souls were devoured, and they became monsters!"

As she spoke, Peter also got a clear look at the monster's appearance.

The tongue of the other party, which was hovering above its head, emerged. It was grayish-yellow, long, and pointed, covered with a layer of scales.

Peter could see a scale curled up, from which a white worm oozed; its tongue lazily licking the air... and the thing was laughing loudly.

Helen continued, "It's okay, just ignore him, as long as you don't attack him."

Peter stared at the monster. "St. Elmer Fire?"

He had heard of such a monster, which the sailors called Fu Guang.

These things can make all sorts of strange shapes, but they're not scary. If you see these strange things and feel annoyed, just look away.

In the few seconds that Peter was lost in thought, the face disappeared into the drifting mist.

Helen shook her head and said to Peter, "This is not St. Elmer Fire."

Something else is coming.

Peter listened to the sound… a relentless, approaching sound.

He had rarely heard such a sound before; it was the sound of something alive, a tremendous sound, coming from nearby, ever closer.

Peter heard the sound of branches being bitten off, followed by the sound of huge feet stomping through the bushes.

The soil beneath his feet trembled, and the damp air was filled with a strange, nauseating stench, like rotten pork.

Whatever it is, it's a huge thing.

Peter looked up, his face full of confusion, toward the direction from which the sound came.

The thing was walking with heavy steps, and Peter could hear the sound of trees—not branches, but whole trees—falling nearby.

The "Queen" faced the darkness, ready to pounce.

Peter controlled the other person in his mind's eye, calming him down.

The white mist was turned into the gray of stone by the creature's body, but only for a moment.

Peter saw the creature clearly; it was over 60 feet tall and an invisible ghost.

He could feel the air currents it created as it passed by, hear the heavy footsteps it made as it landed on the ground, and hear the sound of the mud and water closing up after it passed through the swamp.

For a moment, Peter saw two orange lights flickering high above his head, the lights like eyes.

Later, that sound began to disappear, and as it left, other life in the swamp slowly began to make sounds as well.

The thing headed north, its sound growing fainter and fainter until it was completely inaudible.

After the ghost disappeared, Peter stroked the Queen's head and said to Helen:

"Is it the Wendago ghost? A monster that roams the northern countryside, and legend says that whoever it touches will turn into a man-eating monster."

He never expected to see a ghost here!

And it's the legendary Wendigo!

Although it's a bit unbelievable, the thought that this is the Marvel universe makes all the impossible possible.

"What should I say?"

Peter, sensing the white mist around him, said to Helen:

“They call those things Abby birds, St. Elmer fire, cows in the barns of the American in upstate New York, whatever they are in the world—jumping, crawling, gliding, or toddling creatures.”

There is a God, there are Sunday mornings, and there are Anglican priests in white robes in this world, so it is not impossible that these dark and terrifying things exist and appear in the night of the universe.

“You really are different, Peter.”

Helen looked around at her surroundings.
