Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#422 - Dr. Lizard

“Hiss~ Ah oh!”

Caught off guard, Peter immediately felt a sharp pain, gritted his teeth, and instinctively shook his aching hand.

Unfortunately, the spider on his hand was like a piece of chewing gum at this moment, seemingly determined to stick with him.

With a light leap, it actually landed directly on Peter's carefully styled hair.

“Don't move~ Peter! There's a spider on your head! Don't be afraid~ Watch me! I've always been particularly good at dealing with these~”

Sam, who was beside him, had obviously noticed the situation, his eyes wide.

As he spoke, he quickly reached out to grab it.

Who knew that this spider was exceptionally alert, using the opportunity to jump directly onto the pad of Sam's index finger.

Another fierce bite!

“Ah!!”

Bitten, Sam screamed and naturally shook his hand violently.

The spider took the opportunity to leap, its small body drawing a smooth arc in the air.

Finally, it landed on Gwen's fair little hand.

“Ah~!”

“……Sam, you're such a blockhead.”

Liang Yue, feeling a strange sensation in his heart, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Rolling his eyes, his left hand suddenly reached out, and with a gentle pinch of his index finger and thumb, he grabbed the middle of the little thing's body, holding the red and blue spider in his hand.

No matter how it struggled, it was useless.

“Is this thing poisonous?”

Looking at the spider in his hand, and then at Gwen's little hand with a red mark, Sam and Peter behind him had the same injuries.

Liang Yue then asked.

“This spider's venom is very strong, but fortunately it's not fatal.

Moreover, our Osborne Group's laboratory has specially formulated an antidote serum, come over here!”

At this moment, a white man in a white coat, with an empty right arm, walked over and stood not far away, saying.

Although this man had a scholarly air unique to intellectuals, and his face was kind and amiable, Liang Yue could still see a resolute temperament in his eyes when he looked at his figure.

It was estimated that this man must have been a soldier.

And his real identity should be one of the villains in the Spider-Man series, Doctor Lizard.

Liang Yue could also confirm this from the name tag on his chest.

Curt Connors~

Soon, the spider in his hand was deftly placed back into the glass tank by a staff member with tweezers, the whole process appearing exceptionally cautious.

Gwen, Peter, and Sam were later injected with a special antitoxin serum and told to get a good night's sleep.

To express his apology, Professor Connors also gave each of the three a business card afterward, saying that if there were any adverse sequelae, they could call him, and he would be responsible to the end.

Subsequently, the professor left in a hurry……

Waving goodbye to the others in the group, Liang Yue took the three of them in a taxi to his apartment near the school, and settled them down separately.

After the three of them fell asleep groggily, and he gave them each a healing spell, he went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.

……

“Judging from the current situation, Sam's symptoms of poisoning are the most serious, Peter and Gwen seem to have good resistance to this spider venom to a great extent.”

“And after falling asleep, Peter and Gwen's bodies actually began to mutate.

While strengthening their bodies, a spider-silk-gland-like thing was actually born in the area where their hands were bitten.”

“It seems that their situation is similar to the first generation Spider-Man.”

“Hmm~ Speaking of which, is this a coincidence, or a specific example?”

Regarding the matter of being bitten by a specific spider and undergoing a body mutation, becoming a superhuman in the eyes of others.

Liang Yue originally thought that this was just Holland's benefit from his parents' legacy.

According to his deduction, the process was probably that Peter's parents took their son's genes and synthesized a special spider.

After being bitten by this spider, it would then activate its own genetic code, becoming a literal powerhouse.

The relationship between Peter and this spider was probably like the existence of a lock and key, a one-to-one match, belonging to two sides of the same coin that opened the path to mutation.

Apart from Peter, no one else could achieve the evolution of the organism itself through this spider.

Regarding this point, just look at Sam's current situation.

This poor young man, although he had already been injected with the antitoxin serum, still couldn't escape the sequelae of poisoning.

In his sleep, he was covered in sweat, his face was pale, and he kept moaning.

His expression was quite painful~

But Gwen's appearance broke Liang Yue's long-held deduction.

“Perhaps, Gwen can only be considered a special case?”

Although he couldn't figure it out, he didn't dwell on it afterward.

After putting the prepared food into his storage backpack, Liang Yue picked up the notebook next to him and sat in the living room to surf the Internet.

“By the way, Xiaowu, does this world have the game 'My World'?”

“……Reporting master, according to Xiaowu's just investigation, the game in master's memory does not exist here, and there are no similar projects even in development.”

“In that case, you should make it.

Regarding the game's operating rules, follow the memory of the stronghold world or my brain.”

“Okay, master!”

The idea of creating the 'My World' game was not a whim of Liang Yue.

The reason why such a game was needed was to make it more convenient for him and the women in the stronghold world to explore the rules of this world.

Especially~ regarding the application of redstone technology.

……

Perhaps because the previous healing spell had worked, the three people in their sleep did not sleep until dawn the next day like the little spider in the original plot.

It was only one or two o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them walked out of the room one after another.

Seeing this, Liang Yue pretended to walk towards the kitchen and brought out the prepared food.

After a series of mutations and developments, Peter and Gwen at this time, although their bodies had not changed much, and their appearances were still the same as before, their respective mental outlooks had undergone great changes.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were radiant and reborn.

Especially Holland Peter, the high-degree glasses that had been on the bridge of his nose had quietly been taken off, his eyes becoming more and more piercing, with a happy expression on his face.

As for Gwen, perhaps because of the differences in personality and gender, she, as a woman, appeared somewhat reserved and introverted, seemingly trying to hide her current difference.

And Sam……Sam's hand was swollen.

His face was full of color, and he looked like he hadn't woken up yet~
