Especially the food made by Aunt May. When Peter thought of it, his stomach started to growl.
It's already around five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's almost time for dinner.
"During the past few days since I traveled to Toby Spider, the food I ate was so disgusting. I have to have a big meal when I get home to make up for it!"
While thinking, Peter found an empty corner and put on the nano-metal battle suit with hand gestures.
It flew into the air directly, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.
In just a few minutes, Peter had crossed half of New York City and returned to his home on Ingram Street.
After landing, Peter tidied his clothes and hair, then quickly ran back home and took out his key to open the door.
Click!
With the turn of the key, the door was quickly opened.
Peter immediately greeted everyone inside the house.
"Aunt May! Uncle Ben! I'm back!"
Uncle Ben was reading a newspaper in the lobby on the first floor. When he heard Peter's voice, he immediately put down the newspaper.
I looked into the corridor and saw Peter returning home safely.
A relaxed smile suddenly appeared on his face.
After all, Peter was using the excuse of going hiking with Gwen, and Uncle Ben couldn't help but be a little worried that something might happen to the two young people who had little hiking experience.
"Look who's back! Isn't this our hiking master Peter?"
"By the way, where's Gwen? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Chapter 73 Instant Hypnosis!
When Peter heard Uncle Ben mention Gwen, he quickly said:
"Gwen has gone home now. I guess she won't come to see me today. She is tired after hiking for a few days and needs to rest."
Peter and Gwen had already discussed this set of excuses.
In order to avoid being noticed by Uncle Ben and Aunt May, they began to worry whether Peter was hiding a secret from them.
At this moment, Aunt Mei also came out from the kitchen.
When Aunt May saw that Peter returned home safely, a very warm smile appeared on her face.
"Why didn't you tell us in advance when you came back? I haven't even started cooking dinner yet!"
Peter put down his backpack, took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the refrigerator and started drinking it.
Only after he drank all the mineral water in one breath did Peter finally feel his dry throat become moist again.
"I was in such a hurry to come back to drink some water that I forgot to tell you, Aunt Mei, in advance. How about we order takeout tonight? Anyway, we haven't had authentic Italian pizza for a long time."
Uncle Ben, who was just about to continue reading the newspaper, immediately put down the newspaper when he heard that Peter wanted to order takeout.
"No, Peter, you've been out for so many days, you must be starving. Let's eat something good today."
good stuff?
Aunt May looked at Uncle Ben in confusion, not really knowing what Uncle Ben was referring to.
Uncle Ben took out a flyer with many fold marks from behind him with a mysterious smile on his face.
"This Jinlong Chinese restaurant in Chinatown is having an anniversary celebration. If you go there for dinner today, you can get a 30% discount. Don't cook tonight, just go there for dinner!"
Looking at the flyer in Uncle Ben's hand, a hint of understanding appeared in Peter's eyes.
Therefore, Peter said to Uncle Ben with a hint of ridicule:
"Uncle Ben, you've already prepared to go there for dinner with Aunt Mei tonight and spend some time alone together, right? Looks like I'm going to be the third wheel today!"
Aunt May also gave Uncle Ben a strange look.
When did this stupid guy become so romantic?
Uncle Ben also coughed twice and his expression became a little unnatural.
"What do you know, kid? Don't talk nonsense. I just picked up the flyer from the roadside. It was just a coincidence."
"Okay, okay! Whatever Uncle Ben says is what it is. It's just a coincidence, not something that was deliberately arranged."
"I'm glad you know. Why don't you go back to your room and change your clothes? We're about to leave for Chinatown. Fortunately, I've booked a seat in advance."
……
When Uncle Ben drove his rather shabby Ford sedan to Chinatown in Queens.
It's time for the lights to come on.
Both sides of the road are lined with distinctive Chinese restaurant signs, with neon lights flashing constantly.
Peter felt a little nostalgic when he saw these familiar street scenes through the car window.
Soon, the Ford sedan stopped in front of a fairly large Chinese restaurant.
We have arrived at the Jinlong Chinese Restaurant.
The luxurious decoration of this Chinese restaurant should be considered one of the best in the whole Chinatown.
I just don't know how the food here tastes.
Peter is quite picky about the taste of Chinese food.
If it is the kind of American Chinese food that deliberately caters to the tastes of local people and has lost the soul and essence of Chinese food.
For example, Peter was too lazy to even eat General Tso’s chicken.
However, when Peter entered the Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant, he immediately dispelled this little concern.
Because most of the customers here have black hair and black eyes, this is the best proof of authentic Chinese food.
The place was almost full and business was extremely good.
Soon, Uncle Ben was taken to the table he had reserved.
The dining table is located near the window, overlooking the street view. You can tell at a glance that this is a specially chosen location.
Peter and Aunt May took their seats one by one, and Uncle Ben began to order food.
During this time, Peter was also skillfully pouring tea and washing dishes, which attracted the attention of the waiter who was taking orders nearby.
After ordering the food, Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei started chatting.
Peter played with his phone for a while, then looked around boredly.
Suddenly, Peter's eyes stopped on a dining table in the far corner.
There were two people sitting at the table, a man and a woman. The woman looked quite young, probably in her early twenties.
The man looked much older, probably around 40 years old, with a slicked-back hair, a beard, and was wearing a purple-black suit.
But the golden watch that was deliberately exposed on the man's wrist, and the very gloomy eyes.
Not a very good first impression for Peter!
However, it was not the man but the woman that deserved Peter's attention.
The young woman has long, shiny black hair, which makes her skin look exceptionally fair.
She has pretty facial features and a hint of heroism.
He was wearing a black jacket and jeans, and he looked very capable.
However, Peter was not concerned about the woman's appearance, because compared to Gwen, this woman was obviously far inferior.
What Peter was actually paying attention to was the look in the woman's eyes.
Although the young woman looked normal, there was a hint of confusion in her deep brown eyes.
Even when he was eating, his eyes didn't seem to be focused.
Only when the man opposite speaks will the young woman's eyes turn and look at the man.
Moreover, Peter always felt that the young woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a while.
So Peter couldn't help feeling a little abnormal.
"How weird! With that look in his eyes, he doesn't look like a normal person at all!"
“More like a puppet with no mind of his own.”
Peter's intuition was telling him that there was something wrong with the man, very wrong.
While Aunt May and Uncle Ben were still chatting next to him, Peter continued to observe secretly.
After a few minutes, the man and the young woman seemed to be satisfied.
The man raised his arm and waved to a waiter.
The waiter walked up to the man and the man whispered something to the waiter.
Peter guessed what the man had just said by the changes in his mouth shape.
"I've already paid."
The waiter's eyes became blank for a moment, and then he just watched the man and the young woman get up and leave.
Peter's eyes flickered and he stood up as well.
"Hypnosis? And it's instant hypnosis, without any props or psychological preparation. This is almost impossible to achieve!"
"Unless it's a supernatural power...it seems necessary to investigate. This guy is probably not a good person."
Uncle Ben looked at Peter who stood up and left with a bit of surprise.
"The food is almost served, where are you going Peter?"
"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Uncle Ben, you guys eat first, don't worry about me!"
Peter nodded apologetically to Uncle Ben, turned around and walked out of the Chinese restaurant.
Chapter 74 Jessica Jones!
The streets illuminated by neon lights are bustling with activity.
Peter followed closely the two figures in front of him in the crowd.
Suddenly, the man quickened his pace, pulled the young woman beside him and ran directly into an alley.
Peter frowned slightly.
"Discovered? He is indeed not an ordinary person. Let me see who he is first!"
Although Peter chose to act alone this time, his safety measures were sufficient.
When walking out of the Chinese restaurant, Peter had already told Shenlan in advance and asked Shenlan to control the cameras on several nearby streets.
As long as any abnormal situation occurs, Shenlan will notify Peter immediately.
And for safety reasons, Peter even put on a nano-metal battle suit in advance.
It’s just that he is not wearing head armor, and the nano-metal battle suit appears under his clothes, so there is no change in appearance.
After making full preparations, Peter slowly turned and walked into the alley.
After entering the alley, the atmosphere immediately changed.
Compared to the noisy streets outside, the deserted alleys are simply another world.
But Peter didn't care at all, his eyes just looked calmly forward.
Because, the middle-aged man and the young woman were standing quietly in the middle of the alley with their backs to Peter.
It seemed as if he was waiting for Peter's arrival.
The middle-aged man's very gloomy voice sounded again, like the hissing of a poisonous snake floating into Peter's ears.
"Young man, haven't you heard the saying? Curiosity kills the cat!"
Peter raised an eyebrow, still with an easy smile on his face.
"Oh? Just because I saw you eating without paying, you want to kill me to silence me?"
