The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 706 U Infinite Event (22)

The moon and stars were sparse outside the window of the laboratory, but the inside of the laboratory was a mess. Otto stood among the debris on the floor, supported the ground with two tentacles, lifted himself up, and walked forward with limbs and tentacles like legs. Until he came to Zhang Parker.

Are you Spider-Man too? Otto looked down at the four tentacles behind Zhang Parker. Compared with the tentacles of Doctor Octopus, the tentacles on Zhang Parker's back were more like the legs of arthropods, with sharper ends. Compared with tools, More like a weapon.

I am not Spider-Man. Zhang Parker admitted his identity for the first time, he said: I am you from your parallel universe.

Otto snorted and did not speak. He controlled the tentacles to turn around, and after fixing the tentacles to the ceiling, he began to clean up the debris in the room.

Zhang Parker seemed to be irritated, and said angrily: Don't you believe it? I did better than you. I replaced Spider-Man and became the only hero in that world.

Really? Then you're pretty good. Go back to your universe. What are you doing here? Don't you think I'm not busy enough? Otto bent down to pick up the fragments of the test bench, with a regretful expression on his face. .

All the building materials in this laboratory are made of the best materials. Unfortunately, the mechanical tentacles behind Otto are made of better materials. The luxurious combination of molten steel and vibrating gold makes the tool tentacles unparalleled in hardness. , even if it is lightly whipped on the experimental table, it will break the experimental table.

Where did you get them? asked Jang Pak.

Who are you referring to?

Those Spider-Man.

Otto shook his head and said, They left with the agents. S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to investigate the matter of crossing the universe. If you chase their car now, you should be able to catch up.

As he spoke, he put on his glasses, picked up the document at hand, and began to read the content on it. Although he was a little tired, after venting out the resentment in his heart, he seemed much calmer. .

Are you staying here like this? Zhang Parker took two steps forward, looked at Otto and asked, Live your life of failure, always defeated by Spider-Man? Don't you want to defeat him?

Why should I defeat him? Otto asked without looking back.

He ruined everything you have! Even if you haven't, sooner or later you will! He is such a person! His indecision and cowardice will ruin the world! The tentacles behind Zhang Parker trembled, and his There was a hint of anger in his tone.

Otto put down the document in his hand, paused for a while, supported by the mechanical tentacles of his limbs, turned his body around, his mirror reflected the moonlight outside the window, so that Zhang Pak couldn't see his eyes clearly, but he was sure, this time Otto at the time was not angry at what he said.

Are you jealous of him? Otto asked.

I said, I have defeated him, and I have done better than him! Zhang Parker emphasized again: I wiped out all the criminals at once, and from then on, New York will be safe forever.

Zhang Parker suddenly saw that after Otto took off the glasses again, his eyes felt a little familiar. Zhang Parker recalled that perhaps, at some point, he had seen Spider-Man with such eyes.

You're not me. Under the moonlight, Otto looked at Zhang Parker and said firmly, Otto Octavius ​​won't spend hours wandering around New York every day like Spiderman, Because he knows it won't work.

Just as Zhang Parker was about to say something, Otto moved closer, looked into his eyes and asked, New York is safe, but what about the East Coast? The entire East? The West? America? The whole world?

You're not me, you're still Spider-Man. Otto emphasized again, he said: Only those puberty fools think that as long as they beat all the criminals with their fists, the world can get peace.

And Otto, which is me, I know that the criminals in this world cannot be wiped out, because human beings are like this. Otto put on his glasses again, but when he turned his back to the light, Zhang Pak could In his eyes, he saw a more mature thought.

There will be so many evils in this world, and there will be wars, bloodshed and death. The essence is that resources are limited, and human beings must compete for resources that are not many in this square inch.

This will lead to too many unnecessary fights, and if there are unlimited resources to allow all human beings to live the best life, although criminals cannot be completely eliminated, it must be much stronger than it is now.

After Otto finished speaking, he moved a little closer, supporting his body with his tentacles. He looked down at Zhang Parker and said:

From the beginning to the end, I have been an energy scientist. The only way I can save the world is to obtain inexhaustible clean energy for human beings, so that everyone will no longer fight for it. This is what I should do. made.

And you, if you agree with the idea of ​​defeating all criminals and saving the world, then you're not me, because I would never consider that approach.

After Otto finished speaking, he turned around and went to tidy up the laboratory, while Zhang Pake stood there silently.

Since swapping bodies with Peter Parker, he has been busy running around. He wants to open his own laboratory, manufacture stronger equipment, and fight more criminals. He wants to invent surveillance equipment to monitor the whole city, and he must always beware of spiders. The hero's counterattack.

He wanted to solve all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. After traveling to the future, he was on the way to deal with the heir family. He led the spider army to attack head-on and was seriously injured. Zhang Parker asked himself, even if Peter Parker from his world came It won't be better than him.

Is he doing better than Peter Parker?

Perhaps yes, he provided mechas for many people, eliminated criminals, and attacked the heir family who threatened Spider-Man. That immature kid was not so strong at all.

But is he still Otto Octavius?

The days of being a researcher are very far away from him. The days of driving to and from get off work every day, facing boring experimental data, and getting angry at the inaccurate operation of laboratory assistants are like the moonlight at night, when the sun rises In an instant, it disappeared.

Also gone are those ambitions and aspirations that belonged only to Otto.

When he ignited the flames of the reactor for the first time when he was young, he also imagined that he would become a great scientist who changed the destiny of mankind. a sum.

But this thought didn't last long, and he met Spider-Man, a destined opponent.

He began to abandon those ideas that he was an energy scientist, repairing tentacles, strengthening equipment, and even came up with a device that could exchange bodies with Peter Parker.

What a great invention this is, but when Zhang Parker stood here, he gradually recalled, and gradually recalled the joy after he found out that he and Spiderman had successfully exchanged bodies.

Is he rejoicing in the new life?

Or is he feeling happy for being his enemy, the fool he once dismissed?

This new body gave him infinite vitality, and then he used the vitality to do the same thing as Spiderman, upgrade equipment, fight criminals, and take a step forward on this road.

Perhaps, this is indeed something to be proud of, but that middle-aged, ordinary and unlucky energy scientist completely disappeared from his universe.

In this world, does it need Otto more, or does it need Spider-Man more?

When Zhang Parker thought about this question, he lowered his head and looked at the materials scattered on the laboratory floor.

He took two steps forward and picked up a piece of paper on the ground. There were some data written on it that he couldn't fully understand. It seemed to be the survey conclusion of the sun.

If you want to see it, the reference room is next door. Otto's voice came from the side, and Zhang Pake felt his arms tremble a little. He walked along the wall on one side of the room and walked towards the door.

After opening the door, several filing cabinets were placed neatly by the wall, and Zhang Pake stepped forward urgently, as if eager to find an answer.

He began to look through the information inside, and took out all the documents, data, drawings, conclusions, including energy equipment that was about to be put into production and had already been put into production, all things he could understand and could not understand.

Numbers and graphics surrounded him, and distant memories belonging to the scientist came flooding back.

When Zhang Parker fully understood these things, he discovered that in this universe, the genius scientist Otto saved the world in his own way.

The stellar energy extraction device he designed has been practically used for no more than three months, and the extracted energy has reached 30% of the world's total coal power generation. In the next three years, it is expected to replace most of the earth's coal power generation. Energy, clean, pollution-free and sustainable.

Zhang Parker put down the materials in his hand, he walked out of the reference room, and then pushed open the door of the laboratory room next door, where other Spider-Man experiments were done, where Zhang Parker saw more project materials.

The lizard serum project that can perfectly regenerate severed limbs without sequelae, the mechanical equipment project at the Mercury Base, the cryogenic chamber project that can freeze terminally ill people for later treatment...

Every document here represents a step towards the ultimate happiness of mankind.

A few minutes later, Otto looked at the list, and the figure with the same tentacles appeared outside the door again. Zhang Pake asked in a hoarse voice: The lizard man... I mean, Dr. Conners, is he here? where?

His laboratory is in Stark Tower. If I'm not wrong, he should still be doing experiments. You can call that Tony Stark. He will always talk to people named Peter Parker. Be open.

Otto's words dissipated in the moonlight, and the figure with tentacles on his back at the door had disappeared.

In the laboratory of Stark Tower, Connors rubbed his wrists, put down the pen in his hand, and after recording the last set of data, he was about to leave work. At this time, he turned and looked outside the door. Under the light of the light, a figure with four tentacles appeared there.

Otto? Oh, you're not Otto, Peter?? You also had mechanical tentacles? Connors looked at Zhang Parker who appeared at the door in surprise.

I... Zhang Parker pouted, and he looked at Connors, the once cruel and cold-blooded Dr. Lizard, who was calmer than he imagined. For some reason, everyone in this universe seemed more calm. Focused, self-consistent, balanced, with a sense of relaxation from the inside out.

Connors looked at Zhang Parker, and seemed to realize that he was not the Peter he knew, but in the end, his eyes fell on Zhang Parker's waist, and he asked, Are you injured? And it seems to be seriously injured... ...

As he spoke, he turned around and went to the cabinet next to him to get two injections. He walked towards Zhang Parker, handed the injections to him, and said, The mature version that has been tested, with just one injection, the wound can be perfectly healed. , Severed limbs can also regenerate.”

Zhang Parker took the two injections silently, but hesitated for a moment, and he still said, Can I take it away?

where are you going?

Zhang Parker turned his head to look out of the window, under the extra bright moonlight, slowly uttered two words in a nostalgic tone: Go home.

You said you were going home? Peter looked Parker up and down, and said, Going back now??

That's right, send me back just as you sent me here. Zhang Parker looked at Peter and said.

The problem is, I don't even know how I sent you here. Peter, who was watching with a thick stack of documents in his hand, showed a bitter face.

The secret of magic is that what you want is what you want. Zhang Park repeated the words that Peter chanted before sending them here. He said, If you know magic, use magic to send me back.

...I'll try, but I don't guarantee success. Peter said a little embarrassed, and then he put his hand on Zhang Parker's shoulder, tried to concentrate, and kept saying: I'm thinking about something. Success, all wishes come true...

After a burst of light, Zhang Parker appeared in the silent space of the universe. He pinched the transmitter in his hand, and used the spider sensor to communicate with the spider totem to locate his own universe.

In an instant, he appeared in a familiar room, with surveillance robots flying around outside the window, policemen and security guards patrolling the street, all wearing the mechs he designed himself.

Zhang Pak lowered his head, looked at the lizard serum in his hand, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made a courageous decision.

In a corner that has been almost forgotten by him, the remnant body belonging to Otto Octavius ​​has been kept there. Zhang Pak came to the body, put the injection in his hand, and then started the exchange Physical equipment.

During the operation of the device, he heard the fragment of Peter Parker's soul in his body saying to him: No! You can't do that! Your body is dying, you will die...

Silly boy.

As soon as the words fell, Doctor Octopus opened his eyes again.

Otto felt the great pain coming from this dying body. It was broken, old, and painful, and it was far less useful than that young and healthy body.

But he showed a smile, clenched the lizard serum in his hand, and stabbed it hard on his shoulder.

Then, on the skyline of New York City, four huge mechanical tentacles broke through the ground.

A middle-aged man in a windbreaker and sunglasses stood under the sun again. He took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the busy traffic in downtown New York and the sun hanging high in the sky.

Spider-Man, who regained his body, jumped out from the hole in the ceiling. He stretched out his tentacles and said to Otto: Doctor Octopus, don't get excited. I don't think you are a bad person. We can really talk!

Otto looked at him and took a deep breath. A roar that seemed to vent his dissatisfaction with Spider-Man and himself broke through the stratus clouds over the city and echoed over New York:

Spiderman!! You'd rather spend three hours a day flying over New York! You wouldn't spend any time worrying about the future of humanity!!!!
