Marvel: Awakening the Universe

After half an hour.

The New York Police Department carried out Dr. Connors, whose body was already dead and cold, from the library.

Sergeant George Stacy of Manhattan's 19th Precinct also arrived at the scene.

"Gwen!"

George got out of the car, ran straight to Gwen, and hugged Gwen: "Thank God, you are okay."

"dad."

After Gwen broke free from George's arms, she glanced at Hawke, then took Hawke's right hand and said to George, "Hawk protected me."

George then looked at Hawke.

Hawke still greeted politely.

"Mr. Stacy."

"Thank you."

Unlike last time when he ignored Hawke, this time George nodded slightly and said thank you to Hawke.

Hawke smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

George didn't say anything. He glanced at Gwen and Hawke, who were arm in arm in front of him, and then said to Gwen, "Call Helen. She's very worried after the news that Midtown High School was attacked by lizardmen."

Gwen then remembered that she had forgotten to call her mother. She exclaimed, then quickly took out her cell phone from her pocket and called her mother Helen.

After Gwen ran aside to make a phone call, George stood beside Hawke, looking at Dr. Connors who was put into a body bag not far away: "So, Dr. Lizard is Dr. Connors, but why is he here at school?"

Hawke's heart moved, and he shook his head without any expression: "I don't know."

He was thinking about what Dr. Connors said before he died.

Bewitched by the devil.

Good guy.

What kind of demon could have bewitched Dr. Connors to ignore Spider-Man, with whom he had a fight on the Williamsburg Bridge, and Hawke, whose blood seemed very important to him, and instead make the harmless Gwen his primary target?

That doesn't make sense.

Unless this demon isn't some serious demon.

Hawke thought silently in his heart.

pity……

Dr. Connors is dead, and I'm afraid we will never know the answer to this question.

soon.

After reporting to her mother Helen that she was safe, Gwen walked over with ease and naturally took Hawke's arm: "I've reported to my mother that I'm safe."

George watched his daughter's natural movement out of the corner of his eye, the corners of his mouth twitched secretly, and then he prepared to leave.

He had to leave, as he was afraid that he would lose control and shoot Hawke.

Half an hour later, with the departure of Sheriff George Stacy of the Queens Precinct and the 19th Precinct of the New York Police Department, Midtown High School also announced that school would be dismissed early today.

The students, who were still in shock from the Spider-Man vs. Lizard fight, immediately came out of their shock after hearing this decision. After shouting that the school was wise, they ran towards the parking lot like wild horses.

Hawke also shook his head, too lazy to think about why Dr. Connors did this.

All are dead.

It’s useless to think about it any more.

weekend.

Because it was the weekend, Hawke stayed at home in his new apartment. He connected the computer that Skye sold him to the hotspot of the mobile phone that his girlfriend gave him, and was surfing the Internet.

He took advantage of the weekend when he had some time to rest and planned to search online to see if he could sell the five swords hidden under his bed that he had collected from killing the Chitauri soldiers.

It won’t work if it doesn’t sell.

He had to find a way to make money, otherwise, even if he wanted to attend the graduation ball, he probably wouldn't have enough money to buy a dress.

Although theoretically he is no longer short of money.

but……

After the Spider-Girl was evilened by Venom, her worst evil thought was to buy a discounted suit.

Hawke felt that he was not as morally sound as the first generation Spider-Spider, but at least he couldn't be much worse than the first generation Spider-Spider.

Just as he was searching online for sales channels.

There was a snapping sound outside the window.

Hawke looked up.

The spider spirit who was just thinking about it was clinging to his window and looking inside from the emergency stairs outside.

……

Chapter 55: Favors must be repaid, and hatred must be avenged!

Sticky pipe walls.

Cold air.

There was also a stench of rust, silt, and unknown fermented substances, which made Hawke block his sense of smell as he walked through it.

He is not afraid of heat or cold, but he is afraid of stench.

The cold and the heat are bearable, but the stench is unbearable, especially this kind of stench that penetrates every pore.

Hawke looked at the spider spirit leading the way in front and was very curious.

"How did you find this place?"

"I found it by following the lizard."

Walking in front, perhaps because he also felt the stench was too strong, even with the spider mask on, Peter's voice was a little muffled: "It's right in front, just around the corner."

The day before yesterday, when he was fighting the lizard people at school, he found some lizards crawling out of the sewer pipes.

So yesterday, Saturday, when Peter woke up and thought of this, he thought he had nothing to do anyway, so he just rushed into the sewer to look for it.

As a result, after searching for a whole day, this morning he finally found Dr. Connors' temporary residence in the underground pipe maze.

This is not.

After he found it, he thought of Hawke and thought Hawke might also be interested, so he simply ran to Hawke and invited Hawke to join him for a weekend adventure in the underground maze of New York City.

soon.

After Hawke followed Peter around a corner, he saw a platform not far away.

There were wires on the platform that were connected from somewhere. The wires were stuck to the wall by an unknown liquid and connected to several light bulbs, illuminating the platform where two notebooks and some laboratory equipment were placed haphazardly.

After Hawke stepped onto the platform, he looked around.

"Where is that video you mentioned?"

"this."

Peter walked to a laptop and tapped a few times on the keyboard, and then a video appeared on the screen.

"That blood is Hawke's."

"I should call Hawke..."

"Shh... No, he definitely won't give it to me."

"Chila!"

"Right, Gwen."

"I can capture Gwen and force Hawke to give me his blood."

"Bala..."

"Yes, that's it. Capture Gwen and have Hawke give me the blood."

"catch……"

In the video, Dr. Connors, whose clothes are filthy and whose hair hangs down on his head due to sweat, talks to himself as if he is possessed, with the screen flashing from time to time.

At the end of the video, Dr. Connors, who seemed like a demon, grabbed the last three regeneration potions without hesitation and injected them into his body. Then, amidst bursts of broken roars, Dr. Lizard made a brilliant appearance.

The video ends here.

Hawke's expression became strange.

So this is the reason why Dr. Lizard is targeting Gwen and killing him. His purpose is to capture Gwen and force him to hand over his blood?

This……

Hawke said he found it difficult to understand Dr. Connors's thought process.

He thought about it and there was only one reason to explain Dr. Connors' behavior.

"The lizard serum messed with his brain."

"Then will you give it?"

"what?"

Hawke looked at Peter.

Peter asked curiously, "If Connors called you and asked for your blood, would you give it to him?"

Hawke frowned slightly at Peter's question.

Will you give it?

He thought about it in his mind, then nodded and looked at Peter.

"If not too much, yes."

"why."

Peter's eyes widened when he heard Hawke's answer. "Although I don't know the details of your blood, it's likely the key to Connors' transformation into Dr. Lizard. If you knew the outcome, would you still give your blood away?"

Hawke looked at Peter and said calmly, "He used my blood to become Dr. Lizard, that's his business, but he asked me for it, and whether I give it to him or not is my business."

Peter frowned and shook his head.

"I don't understand."

"You and I are the same. Although you don't have parents, at least your parents existed, and you still have your Uncle Ben and Aunt May. I'm different. I'm an orphan and always have been. So you can become a superhero, but I can't, and I will never be able to."

"why."

"I'm not as kind as you."

Hawke smiled.

"Of course, I'm not that evil, but I've always followed a saying: a favor must be repaid, and a grudge must be avenged!"

"When I was fired from Osborne Industries, Dr. Connors wrote me a letter of recommendation even though it was none of Dr. Connors's business."

"Although this letter of recommendation is useless now, Dr. Connors didn't ask anything of me when he gave it to me, so..."

Hawke smiled again and looked at Peter. "It's just a tube of blood. It's no loss to me. I'll give it to him. As for what he does with it, whether it's good or bad, that's his business. I just need to have a clear conscience."

Peter listened to Hawke's explanation and nodded thoughtfully.

Hawke seemed to have thought of something at this time and looked at Peter: "Why, you are also interested in my blood? If you want, I can also give you a tube."

Peter came back to his senses and shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, I don't want it."

"OK then."

Hawke smiled and said nothing more. He just glanced at the platform again and shook his head. "That's why I said Dr. Connors' brain was damaged by the lizard serum. He could have asked me for it, but he had to do it like this. Let's go."

Now that we know Dr. Connors' motive, even though it sounds a little unreasonable.

But if you consider Dr. Connors' mental state in the video, it becomes understandable.

Mentally ill people are much happier.
