The American comic life started from Gwen Spider-Man

Chapter 231 Two Impostors

The moment he stepped into the Gemini skyscrapers, Peter felt a hint of invisible pressure.

Because in the lobby on the first floor of the Twin Towers, many employees were walking quickly, apparently shuttling between different departments for work.

The invisible pressure that Peter felt came from these employees.

Peter was looking at the hurrying employees of Tianjie Biotechnology at this moment, and felt that everyone's face was full of indifference. They only cared about the work at hand and didn't care about anything in the outside world.

Even when they saw other colleagues drop documents on the ground and needed help, no one came forward to help. They just frowned and walked away.

Only when they saw Toby Spider and Harry did these employees reveal extremely bright and hypocritical smiles on their faces, as if they were trying their best to leave a good impression in front of the two big boss-level figures.

Moreover, Peter noticed a very important situation.

That is, those employees who were trying their best to please the big boss all looked at him with particularly strange eyes.

Almost everyone's eyes contain three parts of envy, three parts of jealousy, and four parts of hatred!

It was not until they entered the elevator reserved for high-rise buildings that Peter finally couldn't help himself and asked Toby Spider and Harry this question.

"They... don't seem to be happy at work! Is the work pressure a bit too much?"

In response to Peter's question, Toby Spider and Harry shrugged their shoulders at the same time, indicating that this situation was normal.

"My dear friend, isn't this a good thing? Only under such circumstances can everyone maintain the most efficient working state. The reason why Tianjie Biotechnology can rise in such a short period of time is precisely because of such a motivated working attitude and a competitive working environment!"

Harry explained to Peter while looking down through the transparent glass exterior wall of the high-rise exclusive elevator at the thousands of employees working hard like worker ants below.

"Oh? A competitive work environment?"

Peter raised his eyebrows, and the hint of vigilance deep in his pupils became even stronger.

"Harry is absolutely right! Since the implementation of the last-in-first-out system, the rise of our Tianjie Biotechnology has accelerated a lot. Especially after merging employees from several other biotechnology companies, the last-in-first-out system has become even more perfect."

At this moment, even Toby Spider expressed his praise for the cruel last-elimination elimination system.

"Last-in-last-out system? Why are they afraid of being eliminated? With their abilities, they should be able to find good treatment anywhere. Why would they try their best to compete just to avoid being eliminated?"

In order to prove the worst guess in his mind, Peter continued to ask questions tentatively.

"Haha, of course they are afraid, because...if they are eliminated by Tianjie Biotechnology, they will become losers in the industry, or it would be more appropriate to call them garbage."

"No other company will be willing to continue to hire them. They will soon be overwhelmed by the monthly bills and become homeless!"

"Moreover, the salary offered by our Tianjie Biotechnology is more than twice the average level. No matter from which aspect, no one would be willing to leave such a perfect company. It is their honor to be able to work here!"

Hearing such cold words, Peter felt a slight chill on his back.

The two good comrades who once fought side by side have now become so unfamiliar.

Such words could never come from the mouth of Toby Spider, a simple and honest boy like the boy next door.

There was no doubt that something very troublesome and sinister had taken place in both of them.

The question now is, is this evil change given by the outside world, or is it a change produced by themselves?

At the same time, Peter had some guesses in his mind.

"To be able to change a person's personality so thoroughly, could it be the Mind Stone among the Infinity Stones, or a psychic like Professor X, or maybe both of them were parasitized by the symbiote... There is another possibility, that is, the Skrulls disguised as fake people."

"Let's hold off for now! I'll find a chance to test them again. If they are fake dummies, it's not a big deal. This means that the real Toby Spider and Harry are just imprisoned. However, if they themselves have changed, it will be a bit troublesome. I hope this is not the case!"

In this way, Peter followed the two people silently as they moved forward, using his photographic memory to memorize all the details of the surrounding environment in his mind.

If a conflict occurs later, Peter will have to find a way out by himself.

Because Deep Blue has not yet forcibly broken through the network inside the Gemini skyscrapers, it cannot provide any help to Peter.

Now everything depends on Peter's performance alone!

Soon, the exclusive elevator for high-rise buildings stopped at the top floor of the Gemini skyscrapers.

After getting out of the elevator, Toby Spider and Harry took Peter all the way to their office.

The office of the two was also incredibly large, with world-class design and decoration. Toby Spider no longer had the embarrassment of having to live in an old apartment with no money.

"Have a seat, would you like something to drink?"

Toby Spider warmly welcomed Peter into the office, opened the huge double-door refrigerator, pointed at the dazzling array of wine bottles inside and asked.

"No need, it seems that you have already started to adapt to the life of a rich person!"

There seems to be a different meaning hidden in Peter's words.

Toby Spider, however, didn't care. He took out a bottle of expensive top-grade red wine from the refrigerator specially used to store wine, poured himself a glass, and tasted it slowly.

"Of course, I have brought new hope to countless patients in this world, so I am naturally qualified to live such a superior life. I was too stupid before and spent so much time to figure this out."

Peter nodded but said nothing.

At this time, Harry also poured himself a glass of red wine, clinked glasses with Toby Spider, and then drank it all.

After putting down the wine glass in his hand, Harry stared at Peter and said:

"Peter, you haven't been back for such a long time. Did you find any new research materials when you suddenly came back this time?"

"If this is true, then that would be great. Our research has recently reached a stagnation, and we urgently need to find a new direction for breakthroughs!"

When Toby Spider heard Harry suddenly mention this matter, his eyes were fixed on Peter and he didn't even bother to drink the wine.

Although the two did not say it explicitly, they made it clear that they were very concerned about whether Peter had anything new that they could start researching.

For example...an alien creature that is more perfect than the symbiote!

Peter, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly crossed his fingers and placed his hands on the table.

"You don't need to tell me about the research materials. I am of course prepared. Otherwise, I would not have come back here."

When they heard that there was indeed research material, Harry and Toby Spider's eyes simultaneously lit up with surprise and joy.

The two of them immediately couldn't wait to ask:

"What kind of experimental material is it? Is it related to the symbiote? Or is it a biological material that has evolved to be more perfect than the symbiote?"

Just as Toby Spider and Harry, who had already been confirmed by Peter to be impostors, were still exchanging glances, trying to get more useful information from Peter.

Peter suddenly interrupted the two of them, then pointed his finger at Toby Spider.

"Let's not talk about this question first, I have something I want to ask you."

Toby Spider frowned, obviously a little impatient.

"Ask me a question? What question do I have to ask now?"

"That's right, you have to ask now!"

Seeing Peter's insistence, Toby Spider could only nod reluctantly for the sake of the overall situation.

"Sure, ask!"

"The question is very simple. I want to ask, when you were still renting the apartment, if your Spider-Man suit was damaged, how would you repair it?"

The strange question that Peter suddenly asked not only stunned Toby Spider, but even Harry next to him was stunned.

What are you doing?

Why would you suddenly ask such a strange question?

Although Toby Spider looked confused and reluctant, Harry gave him a look, asking Toby Spider to answer the question properly.

Toby Spider had no choice but to answer.

"If my Spider-Man suit is damaged, I will of course use the same material to repair it..."

Just when Toby Spider thought that the answer he gave was perfect.

Peter stood up, and the smile on his face completely disappeared.

The aura all over his body suddenly became extremely cold.

"Wrong answer! The real answer should be... Use your spider silk to repair it, because you were too poor to even afford the materials! It seems that you counterfeits can imitate the appearance impeccably, but you have no way to deal with some little secrets that only the genuine ones may know, right?"

Wow!

The wine glass in the fake Toby Spider's hand was suddenly crushed, and his face instantly became gloomy.

"What do you mean?"

"Peter, don't mess around, you must have misunderstood us."

The fake Harry also quietly went around behind Peter.

"Misunderstanding? When I twist your heads off, you'll know whether it's a misunderstanding or not."

Peter's voice was so cold that it could freeze ice.

"Do it! Stop talking nonsense with him!"

The fake Toby Spider roared suddenly, lifted up the several-ton rock table in front of him with one hand, and smashed it hard at Peter.

The fake Harry was not willing to be outdone. A bloodthirsty and ferocious expression appeared on his face. A row of sharp recurve blades suddenly popped out from his arms and slashed towards Peter's neck.

Judging from the strength and speed displayed by the two, they both possess powerful strength comparable to the genuine ones.

For a moment, Peter was caught in a crisis-ridden situation.

However, just as Peter was about to use thundering means to capture the two and interrogate the whereabouts of the real Toby Spider and the real Harry.

Rumble!

The huge floor-to-ceiling window was actually shattered by a strong shock wave.

Endless glass fragments gushed out like raindrops, instantly turning the interior environment into ruins.

Immediately afterwards, Peter saw several round objects flying in from the broken floor-to-ceiling windows!

Pumpkin bomb.

Those turned out to be several pumpkin bombs, one of the Green Goblin's signature weapons.

Moreover, it is an improved pumpkin bomb that has been improved by Peter!

Peter's mind moved, and he silently activated the nano-metal battle suit to block all the glass fragments.

The next moment, a dark green figure rushed in, rushed to Peter's side at lightning speed, and grabbed Peter's hand.

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded.

"Peter, it's me, I'm the real Harry, follow me!"

Peter's heart moved, and he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Harry wearing the Green Goblin suit.

Moreover, it is very likely that it is the real Harry.

So Peter simply jumped onto Green Goblin Harry's Green Goblin skateboard.

Under the cover of the exploding pumpkin bomb, the two rushed out of the office and disappeared in the high-rise city of New York in the blink of an eye.

……

Beneath the bustling city of New York lies an extremely complex sewer network whose routes are almost impossible to untangle.

So, the above ground and underground of New York City are completely two different worlds.

Harry, the Green Goblin, who came to rescue Peter, eventually took Peter into the underground of New York City.

Until they arrived at a dark and damp sewer base.

Peter and Harry were finally able to stop.

However, Peter still hadn't completely let down his guard.

He had to confirm whether the Harry in front of him was the real Harry.

After all, the hidden enemy may still set up a series of traps in order to prevent Peter from seeing through the disguise and gain Peter's trust again.

"Harry, what's the most unkind thing you've ever done to this parallel universe's Peter Parker?"

Peter asked a question that would perfectly verify Harry's identity.

When Harry heard this verification question, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"Do you really want to answer? Or... you can just ask another question!"

"I have to answer. Since those counterfeits are all exactly the same at the genetic level, I can only tell the real from the fake based on some secrets that only I know!"
