The Two Faces of the Villain[Comprehensive]
Chapter 67 Green Goblin?Spiderman?
After Little Peter arrived in New York, his first thought was to go to Harry to discuss the renovation of the Justice Building.
However, Peter didn't know that Harry had gone to Las Vegas on a business trip until after Osborne Enterprises.
Peter was taken aback when he heard the news, because this time Harry didn't send a message to tell him about the business trip.Before, Harry would usually inform him about his itinerary, to save him from running away because he made a special trip to find him.
Just like it is now.
Maybe it was because I was too busy with official business, so I forgot for a while?
Peter thought about it, and felt that since he came to Osborne Enterprises, he could just look for the Green Goblin.
The Green Goblin replied to the little spider's message in the Justice Society's R system in a timely manner——
"Green Goblin: I'm on a business trip with Harry in Las Vegas."
Peter stared blankly at the message on the electronic watch.
The Green Goblin followed Harry to work in Las Vegas?
Although this sounds like nothing special, it can be said to be a very common business.
But after thinking about the little thoughts the Green Goblin had to say to Harry, Peter's mind was a little complicated at this time.
Especially when Peter recalled what the Green Goblin said to him last time - "little spider, pretend not to know."
Thinking about it now, Peter suddenly realized, did the Green Goblin mean that as long as he pretended not to know, he still had a chance to catch Harry?Thinking about it carefully, on the premise that Harry already knew that the Green Goblin liked him, according to Harry's personality, not only did he not kick this employee out of the company, but he even brought this employee with him on a business trip...
There are only two possibilities -
One is that this employee is really a core employee that Osborne Enterprises must never give up, and the other is that Harry thinks that it can indeed be developed.
Peter felt an indescribable subtlety in his mood at this moment.
Even watching the Green Goblin call Harry's name directly in the message made Peter feel a kind of intimacy that seemed to be showing off on purpose.
Peter didn't know what kind of mentality he had to call Harry.
"Peter, what's the matter?"
"Harry, I'm fine. I, I just came to the company to look for you, and I heard Ferrek said that you were on a business trip to Las Vegas..." After the phone call, Peter realized that his call was a bit inexplicable impulse.
Especially if the Goblin happens to be with Harry right now?
If the Green Goblin replied to his message and saw him call Harry immediately, I don't know what the Green Goblin would think.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. What is it that you came to see me?"
Peter also realized the contradiction in his words. While saying nothing, he came to the company to find Harry on purpose.Peter frowned, and had to say that he seemed to seek help from Harry every time he looked for him.But Harry, who has always been nosy, never refused him, and tried his best to spare time to help him.
Actually, Peter didn't think that much before.Because Harry is his best friend, Peter wants to share things about himself with Harry to let him know.For the renovation of the Justice Building, Harry offered to help, and Peter, who thought he really needed help, readily accepted it.
In working with Harry, Harry has never been bored or dissatisfied, so Peter has never felt any pressure.I have to say that Peter found it very pleasant to work with Harry, especially for the same goal, the convergence and fusion of ideas, mutual appreciation and complementarity, and witnessing the creation of their plans step by step, which is heartwarming in itself A process of anticipation and joy.
But now, Peter has a new idea.
Peter felt bad about himself.
It was as if knowing Harry's extraordinary kindness to him, but deliberately using Harry to help him achieve his goal.
This thought made Peter feel very unpleasant.
"...Peter?"
Did not hear Peter's answer, Harry asked suspiciously in the communication.
"It's all right..." Peter whispered in frustration.
"Do you want to tell me about the buffet?" Harry took the initiative to ask.
"How do you know?" Peter was very surprised. Could it be that Genos had already told Harry about this?
"The Green Goblin told me about it, and that's why I'm in Las Vegas dealing with it."
Peter understood what Harry meant. The buffet in Las Vegas is famous in the United States and even in the world.If Harry does a buffet, he will either not do it, or do his best. It is possible to move a whole team directly from Las Vegas to New York.
But the Green Goblin told Harry about this?In other words, the Green Goblin has already told Harry the identity of the hero?
Peter frowned slightly.
Indeed, being a hero of the Justice Society is not something that needs to be kept secret, let alone something that is difficult to talk about.
Having said that, maybe with the friendly relationship between the Justice Society and Harry, Harry may still give the Green Goblin extra points in his heart.
Thinking of this, thinking of Peter, who was still concealing his identity as Spider-Man from Harry, felt even more aggrieved.
Why did I hide my identity from Harry in the first place?
"Harry, I want to tell you something." Peter was silent for a while, and then said seriously.
"...What is it?" Even Harry on the communication side seemed startled.
"I'm sorry, Harry, I haven't told you all this time." Peter took a deep breath, maybe it was really impulsive, but at this moment Peter felt that he had no reason to continue to hide Harry, "Actually, I am Spider-Man .”
Peter didn't speak, and waited nervously and anxiously for Harry's reply, but there was silence on the phone.
It seemed that the truth was so shocking that even Harry couldn't react for a while, so he couldn't respond.
However, Peter knew that even though Harry had been cooperating with the Justice Society, he probably didn't have a good impression of "Spider-Man".
Although Harry never mentioned anything about Spiderman again, Peter clearly remembered that after he refused to provide Harry with blood as Spiderman that day, the crazy and desperate Harry shouted at him " Liar" scenario.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Harry." Peter said guiltily, "I've been hiding it from you for so long, at first I thought...it wasn't a good time to tell you, and then, I didn't know how to say it .”
"Then why...you decided to tell me at this time?" Harry's voice was a little soft, as if he was surprised by this fact.
Peter heard Harry's question, and it didn't sound like Harry doubted what he said.
"Because I'm in the Justice Society. You always thought that I was just a C-level hero in the Justice Society, but in fact I'm Spider-Man. You've been helping me, but I've been hiding this from you. At this time, Peter was like a nervous child admitting his mistake, "I'm really sorry."
Peter could imagine Harry's angry tone.
For Harry, this is tantamount to cheating, right?
"I know." Harry's tone was very flat.
Just this simple sentence caused a storm in Peter's heart.
"You know? When did you know?" Peter asked in shock.
"I knew it when I was in therapy," Harry replied frankly.
The little spider was stunned, recalling Harry's treatment, it seemed to have become... a long time ago in his memory.
However, the more he thinks about what happened that day, the clues unearthed now connect to the past, and Peter seems to suddenly realize the extremely important things that he had overlooked before.
Peter remembered the sentence Harry asked when he was clearly struggling to breathe after waking up, but he squeezed his hand tightly with all his strength——
"Peter, do you hope... that I survive?"
Peter didn't think about the meaning of this sentence at that time, but at this moment, Peter seemed to suddenly understand something.
—At that moment, perhaps Harry thought, he didn't want him to live.
Because Harry knew that he was Spider-Man, he thought that he was his best friend, and he cruelly rejected the last hope of saving him, and chose to let him die struggling in the pain of indifference.
It wasn't until this moment that Peter finally understood the meaning contained in Harry's paranoid and fragile eyes at that time——
With the eyes of a drowning person, Harry really almost drowned in endless pain and despair.
What makes Peter feel suffocated at this moment is that he may be the one who pushed Harry to the dead sea.
But...why would Harry have such an idea?
Peter's thoughts fell into a mess for an instant, and he always felt that some part of his previous cognition had been deviated or wrong.
"Peter, I already know about you being Spider-Man." Harry's voice sounded very relaxed, and he didn't notice Peter's inner confusion at the moment, "You don't have to apologize to me, after all I... Told you, I know about you being Spider-Man. And, you saved me."
Peter pursed his lips, the memory of the despair on Harry's pale face after he opened his eyes still lingered in his mind.
Thinking about it carefully, the look in Harry's eyes when he saw him at that time can be said to be shocking.
It's like not knowing why he's there...
"Harry, are you..." Peter suddenly thought of something.
What if Harry asked Mr. Saitama for help?If it was Mr. Saitama, no matter whether he knew whether Harry was his friend or not, he would definitely agree to help him.So Harry, who was receiving treatment, thought that he had found someone who could help him, so he didn't contact him.Because he didn't know, he also asked Mr. Saitama for help.
Then, Harry probably asked about Spider-Man's identity from the Baron, and learned that Spider-Man's identity was him.
Got it——
In his most desperate moments, the one who brutally rejected his last hope was his best friend.
Harry thought, he had given up on him.
Peter knew that this would definitely be the final blow that broke Harry.
The air seemed to become thinner in an instant, and it was sucked into the lungs coldly, making Peter, who recalled the past, feel a dull pain in his chest.
Peter couldn't even imagine how painful and desperate Harry, who was alone, received treatment.
"what?"
During the call, Harry's puzzled voice brought Peter back to his thoughts.
Peter, who wanted to find out what happened before, felt his throat was so dry that he couldn't ask these questions.
"Harry, I'm sorry..." Peter felt that his hands became cold at some point, and he couldn't help trembling slightly, "I should have confessed my identity with you from the beginning and discussed a solution together, I shouldn't have Self-righteously rejecting you."
"I told you, you don't need to apologize to me." Harry's voice sounded slightly cold, as if he didn't want to understand Peter's apology anymore.
Peter also thought of what the Green Goblin said to him yesterday, "pretend not to know", as if pretending not to know is the best way to maintain the relationship between himself and the other party, and there is no need to get to the bottom of some things.
as it is now.
But Peter couldn't pretend not to know, it was like deliberately ignoring the possibility that Harry might have been cornered by himself.
"The Green Goblin told me, Harry, you like me. Is this true?" Even Peter didn't want to pretend that he didn't know about another matter.It's like the evil result of the first concealment of identity, so that Peter didn't want any gap of concealment between them, which led to the wrong situation again.
"...Yes." Harry was silent for a few seconds before answering in an affirmative tone.
Peter was at a loss at this moment. He got an answer that he knew, but he didn't know how to respond.
The comm fell into a cold silence again.
"Peter, I don't want you to give me an answer. It doesn't matter to me whether you know it or not. Unless... I make you feel sick." Harry broke the silence.
"Of course not!" Peter retorted quickly.
"Peter, let's talk about the matter between us later. You just flew back from London and you should be tired. Go home and rest first. Uncle Ben and Aunt May must be waiting for you to go back." Harry said calmly. Said in a tone of voice, also wanted to give Peter more time to think.
"I don't think I'll have time to contact you tonight, but I'll probably be back in New York tomorrow."
"Peter, go to bed early and have a good dream."
After talking to Harry, Peter went home.Because he promised Genos to keep the internal information of the Justice Society confidential, Peter only told Uncle Ben and Aunt May that he went to London because of the important mission of the Justice Society.
At night, Peter thought about Harry, and his thoughts became more and more chaotic.In the past few days, he was either worried that Mr. Saitama would leave, or because he was so excited because of Mr. Saitama's stay, he didn't sleep much, which caused Peter to really fall asleep in the early morning.But maybe it's because Peter's mind is full of things, causing him to feel irritable for some reason and just can't sleep.It was not until a long time later that he fell into a dream in a daze.
Dreamland is really a wonderful world.
Often in this world, there will be all kinds of illogical things, but I am not aware of it when I am in it.
That night, Peter had a very real dream.
He dreamed that he and Harry had broken up completely.
In order to find a way to survive, Harry joined a terrorist organization. He became extremely sharp and ruthless, his green eyes were completely plunged into cold stagnant water, filled with hatred and sarcasm that terrified Peter.
The moment he met those green eyes, Peter understood deeply——Harry hated him.
Because she is the only dear friend, she cannot tolerate deceit and abandonment even more.Once the paranoid and fragile thinking deviates, it quickly leads to a wrong path that falls to the bottom, and the world collapses as a result.
Peter could understand the hatred in Harry's eyes, the deep-rooted hatred seemed to drag him into a dark lair to suffer from madness.
"Harry! They're not trying to save you! They're just using your body for research!" Even in the dream, Peter couldn't bear the hatred in Harry's eyes. He shouted loudly at Harry, wanting to kill Harry Pull back from the abyss.
"No, I chose it myself." On the contrary, Harry seemed to be a calmer person, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a sarcasm, "You left me with no choice but to accept death, but they gave me choose."
"No! They're using you!" Peter couldn't keep calm, the coldness and hatred in Harry's eyes seemed to be like sharp blades floating in his brain nerves.Perhaps it was this sense of irreparable despair that made Peter feel even more painful and irritable.
There was still a cold smile on Harry's pale face, but there was a strange enjoyment in his eyes.
"I want my life, they want my money, this is the fairest deal." Harry raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "They gave me a choice, and I chose to make myself stronger."
Harry approached Peter step by step, but the inaudible footsteps seemed to be stepping on Peter's heart.
"Why?" Harry walked up to Peter and sneered, "Because I don't want to experience the feeling of being powerless to control my own life anymore, because I don't want to humbly give up my dignity and beg anyone, because I don't want to—"
Peter felt Harry's breath against his ear.
"Betrayed by my best friend again."
At this moment, Peter felt that he couldn't even breathe, and his heart was so painful that his body was shaking.
"No, I didn't betray you." Peter retorted with red eyes, "I want to help you, Harry! I'm really looking for ways to help you, Harry, you should wait for me. I really, really I can find a way to save you!"
"No need." Harry still had a sarcastic smile on his face, "I found a way myself, and I'm fine now."
"Harry, don't you understand? You joined a terrorist organization!" Peter shook his head, "Once you join, there is no way for you to quit. You have no idea what horrible and bloody things they are doing! Harry , you shouldn't be involved!"
"Since I have no way to quit this terrorist organization, what are you trying to persuade me to do here?" Harry's face showed an unbelievable look, "Are you here to encourage me, let me quit, and let me be killed by them?" ?”
"No, I want to say, I will protect you." Peter said in a firm tone.
"Protection?" Harry showed an even more puzzled expression. After a while, the corners of Harry's mouth curled up a little, as if he heard something funny, "When you ignore me and throw it aside After that, you said protection to me?"
"Peter, I regard you as my only friend, and I cherish everything about you." Harry said softly, "I told you, I don't want to be a monster like my father, struggling to die in the dark ;I told you I wanted to live, any way I wanted to live; I beg you, humbly, to help me."
Peter didn't speak, he saw the pain gradually bursting from Harry's frozen green eyes.
This pain was like a flood, engulfing Peter under the invisible black water in the blink of an eye.
"You know all my pain and fear. I pin all my and last hopes on you. You promised me that you would help me." The cold expression on his pale face seemed a bit ferocious and terrifying, and Harry's emotions were also fluctuating more violently, and his voice gradually raised, "But what? What I got in return was your deception, your rejection, and Your escape!"
"Oh, protection." Harry's eyes were full of contempt, and he grinned without a smile. That smile was like a fatal unhealed bloody wound torn open in the dark. Cruelty is terrifying to others, "When you left me alone and waited to die, did you say protection to me?"
"You gave up on me, Peter." Harry's eyes were full of hatred, "You are no different from anyone else, you don't care about my life, you just watch me struggle madly in pain, waiting for me to die !"
"I didn't!" cried Peter in pain. "I never thought of that!"
"Harry, don't do this." Peter took a deep breath, his eyes begging. "You know, I never thought about it. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Harry."
"I don't know." There was an expressionless indifference in Harry's eyes, even enjoying Peter's pain at this moment, "Spider, I don't know anything. Of course, you don't know, everything I have suffered pain."
Peter looked at Harry helplessly. He had never felt that a person standing in front of him was so far away from him.
He felt that he had been dragged by Harry to the precipice of pain, and he was lost in the darkness without any resistance.
But Harry felt that this was not enough, he wanted to make him suffer even more.
Peter didn't doubt that Harry could do it.
"Harry, you can hate me, you can get revenge on me." Peter said weakly, completely in the deepest powerlessness, "but you must know your situation, you are destroying yourself. They are the most cruel and merciless horrors Molecules, they will control everything about you, and they will exploit your value for them. Before you get to that point, you still have a chance to come out."
Harry stared at Peter quietly, and in those green eyes was the cold swamp that made Peter unable to escape the pain.
"Peter Parker."
The name came out of Harry's mouth without any warmth, but at the same time it became a brand of pain for both Harry and Peter.
"You are the one who has always wanted to control me."
Peter's body shook, and his pupils shrank sharply.
Harry's words seemed to suddenly reveal something that Peter himself hadn't realized.
"Harry..." Peter softly called Harry's name, and the deeper despair was like a drowning person in the endless sea.
In an extremely dark and irreversible future, it is only possible to end with a tragic tragedy as a bloody curtain.
"Little spider, I will be your eternal enemy."
In the increasingly dim darkness, Harry's cold voice became the final blow to Peter's heart.
And that pair of icy green eyes completely eroded by the darkness of hatred.
Out of breath, Peter sat up abruptly from the bed, horror still in his eyes.After a while, Peter slowly looked around with blank eyes, and finally realized that he was on his own bed—everything just now was just a dream.
However, Peter's whole body was cold, and he was already covered in cold sweat.
Peter slowly opened his clenched fists, his hands trembling slightly stiffly.
Looking at the time, it was only 04:30, only half an hour had passed since he fell asleep.
The dream was fragmented, but every subtle expression of Harry and every word in the conversation were so clearly and deeply imprinted in Peter's mind, as if such a scene had really happened.
Peter's heart was full of fear called "fear after".
It seemed that another kind of twisted and dark future was inadvertently unfolded in front of his eyes, which made him feel cold all over.
Peter's heartbeat was disordered, he couldn't sleep anymore, and he couldn't stay at home, so he turned out of the window after changing a casual clothes.This time Peter didn't put on Spider-Man's battle suit and fly over the walls, he just walked step by step with his own feet, as if this was the only way to settle down the chaotic thoughts and calm his mood, which was still immersed in pain. down.
Unknowingly, Peter went all the way to the door of Harry's villa.
The security guard recognized him, and although he was a little surprised, he let him in through the gate.
Peter knew how to enter Harry's villa, but at this moment he didn't want to go in, he just stood quietly at the door of Harry's house.
In some nightmares, only by seeing the reality opposite to the nightmare with both eyes can the panic be truly calmed down.
Peter wanted to wait here for Harry to come back, and it would be fine to wait a day.
In fact, it was earlier than Peter thought. Harry came back after eleven o'clock in the morning.Harry, who was sitting in the car, got out of the car in a hurry. He looked at Peter, who was still standing at the door of the house, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
"Peter! What's wrong with you?" Harry strode up to Peter, and burst out a series of questions angrily, "Why are you so crazy all of a sudden? Waiting for me at the door of my house? Aren't you going to open the door? Show your face Is it so hard for you to get in? Are you going to stand here forever if I'm not coming back today?"
Peter fixedly looked into Harry's eyes. There was no hatred, no sarcasm, no coldness in those beautiful green eyes.
Only now did Peter finally feel at ease.
"Harry, I had a nightmare," Peter said softly.
"...Since you know it's a dream, you know it's all fake." Harry was stunned, as if he didn't think that Peter ran to his door and stood there for so many hours just because of a nightmare.
Harry thought to himself, could it be that Peter dreamed that something happened to him, so he was here waiting for him because he was worried about him?
"I know." Peter nodded, with a finally relieved smile on his face, "but I still want to see you."
Harry was at a loss at this moment, as if Peter's sincere concern came too suddenly.
At this moment, Peter stretched out his hands and hugged Harry, cherishing it as if it was a lost and found hug.
It's good that nothing has gone down that irreversible path.
Thanks to Mr. Saitama for saving Harry, and also for saving him.
"Peter..." Harry's body was a little stiff, and a moment of bewilderment appeared in his green eyes.
"Harry, I hope you survive more than anyone else." Peter's voice trembled slightly.
The cold and sarcastic face of Harry in the dream seemed to appear in Peter's sight again——
"I have no idea."
"Spider, I don't know anything."
"Of course, you don't know all the pain I have suffered."
"Of course I know." Harry pursed his lips and smiled, reaching out and patting Peter on the back.
The gentle words that sounded in the ear, like the light of dawn, tore apart the dark dream at once, leaving nowhere to hide the darkness buried in it, leaving only the faint light scattered in the warm light. wind.
It wasn't until this time that Peter felt as if he had finally woken up.
He looked into Harry's warm green eyes, and couldn't figure out what happened vaguely in that nightmare.
"It's good that you know." Peter's heart finally calmed down, watching Harry's mouth slightly raised.
"I also have something I want to tell you." Harry said at this moment.
"What's the matter?" Peter, who was nervous, was a little worried at once.
"You hid me about you being Spider-Man. So I also hid you, my other identity." Because Peter finally decided to tell him the truth frankly, Harry didn't want to continue this mutual secret activities of dual identities.
Peter was stunned for a moment.
"Don't tell me, you are the Green Goblin..." After thinking for a while, Peter finally figured out something.
Harry didn't speak, just smiled and took out his phone, as if sending a text message.
Peter's electronic watch vibrated.
Raising his hand, Peter saw that the Green Goblin sent him a familiar message——
"Green Goblin: =)"
Mysterious Silence · Little Spider: "..." Huh?
However, Peter didn't know that Harry had gone to Las Vegas on a business trip until after Osborne Enterprises.
Peter was taken aback when he heard the news, because this time Harry didn't send a message to tell him about the business trip.Before, Harry would usually inform him about his itinerary, to save him from running away because he made a special trip to find him.
Just like it is now.
Maybe it was because I was too busy with official business, so I forgot for a while?

"Peter, I already know about you being Spider-Man." Harry's voice sounded very relaxed, and he didn't notice Peter's inner confusion at the moment, "You don't have to apologize to me, after all I... Told you, I know about you being Spider-Man. And, you saved me."
Peter pursed his lips, the memory of the despair on Harry's pale face after he opened his eyes still lingered in his mind.
Thinking about it carefully, the look in Harry's eyes when he saw him at that time can be said to be shocking.
It's like not knowing why he's there...
"Harry, are you..." Peter suddenly thought of something.
What if Harry asked Mr. Saitama for help?If it was Mr. Saitama, no matter whether he knew whether Harry was his friend or not, he would definitely agree to help him.So Harry, who was receiving treatment, thought that he had found someone who could help him, so he didn't contact him.Because he didn't know, he also asked Mr. Saitama for help.
Then, Harry probably asked about Spider-Man's identity from the Baron, and learned that Spider-Man's identity was him.
Got it——
In his most desperate moments, the one who brutally rejected his last hope was his best friend.
Harry thought, he had given up on him.
Peter knew that this would definitely be the final blow that broke Harry.
The air seemed to become thinner in an instant, and it was sucked into the lungs coldly, making Peter, who recalled the past, feel a dull pain in his chest.
Peter couldn't even imagine how painful and desperate Harry, who was alone, received treatment.
"what?"
During the call, Harry's puzzled voice brought Peter back to his thoughts.
Peter, who wanted to find out what happened before, felt his throat was so dry that he couldn't ask these questions.
"Harry, I'm sorry..." Peter felt that his hands became cold at some point, and he couldn't help trembling slightly, "I should have confessed my identity with you from the beginning and discussed a solution together, I shouldn't have Self-righteously rejecting you."
"I told you, you don't need to apologize to me." Harry's voice sounded slightly cold, as if he didn't want to understand Peter's apology anymore.
Peter also thought of what the Green Goblin said to him yesterday, "pretend not to know", as if pretending not to know is the best way to maintain the relationship between himself and the other party, and there is no need to get to the bottom of some things.
as it is now.
But Peter couldn't pretend not to know, it was like deliberately ignoring the possibility that Harry might have been cornered by himself.
"The Green Goblin told me, Harry, you like me. Is this true?" Even Peter didn't want to pretend that he didn't know about another matter.It's like the evil result of the first concealment of identity, so that Peter didn't want any gap of concealment between them, which led to the wrong situation again.
"...Yes." Harry was silent for a few seconds before answering in an affirmative tone.
Peter was at a loss at this moment. He got an answer that he knew, but he didn't know how to respond.
The comm fell into a cold silence again.
"Peter, I don't want you to give me an answer. It doesn't matter to me whether you know it or not. Unless... I make you feel sick." Harry broke the silence.
"Of course not!" Peter retorted quickly.
"Peter, let's talk about the matter between us later. You just flew back from London and you should be tired. Go home and rest first. Uncle Ben and Aunt May must be waiting for you to go back." Harry said calmly. Said in a tone of voice, also wanted to give Peter more time to think.
"I don't think I'll have time to contact you tonight, but I'll probably be back in New York tomorrow."
"Peter, go to bed early and have a good dream."
After talking to Harry, Peter went home.Because he promised Genos to keep the internal information of the Justice Society confidential, Peter only told Uncle Ben and Aunt May that he went to London because of the important mission of the Justice Society.
At night, Peter thought about Harry, and his thoughts became more and more chaotic.In the past few days, he was either worried that Mr. Saitama would leave, or because he was so excited because of Mr. Saitama's stay, he didn't sleep much, which caused Peter to really fall asleep in the early morning.But maybe it's because Peter's mind is full of things, causing him to feel irritable for some reason and just can't sleep.It was not until a long time later that he fell into a dream in a daze.
Dreamland is really a wonderful world.
Often in this world, there will be all kinds of illogical things, but I am not aware of it when I am in it.
That night, Peter had a very real dream.
He dreamed that he and Harry had broken up completely.
In order to find a way to survive, Harry joined a terrorist organization. He became extremely sharp and ruthless, his green eyes were completely plunged into cold stagnant water, filled with hatred and sarcasm that terrified Peter.
The moment he met those green eyes, Peter understood deeply——Harry hated him.
Because she is the only dear friend, she cannot tolerate deceit and abandonment even more.Once the paranoid and fragile thinking deviates, it quickly leads to a wrong path that falls to the bottom, and the world collapses as a result.
Peter could understand the hatred in Harry's eyes, the deep-rooted hatred seemed to drag him into a dark lair to suffer from madness.
"Harry! They're not trying to save you! They're just using your body for research!" Even in the dream, Peter couldn't bear the hatred in Harry's eyes. He shouted loudly at Harry, wanting to kill Harry Pull back from the abyss.
"No, I chose it myself." On the contrary, Harry seemed to be a calmer person, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a sarcasm, "You left me with no choice but to accept death, but they gave me choose."
"No! They're using you!" Peter couldn't keep calm, the coldness and hatred in Harry's eyes seemed to be like sharp blades floating in his brain nerves.Perhaps it was this sense of irreparable despair that made Peter feel even more painful and irritable.
There was still a cold smile on Harry's pale face, but there was a strange enjoyment in his eyes.
"I want my life, they want my money, this is the fairest deal." Harry raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "They gave me a choice, and I chose to make myself stronger."
Harry approached Peter step by step, but the inaudible footsteps seemed to be stepping on Peter's heart.
"Why?" Harry walked up to Peter and sneered, "Because I don't want to experience the feeling of being powerless to control my own life anymore, because I don't want to humbly give up my dignity and beg anyone, because I don't want to—"
Peter felt Harry's breath against his ear.
"Betrayed by my best friend again."
At this moment, Peter felt that he couldn't even breathe, and his heart was so painful that his body was shaking.
"No, I didn't betray you." Peter retorted with red eyes, "I want to help you, Harry! I'm really looking for ways to help you, Harry, you should wait for me. I really, really I can find a way to save you!"
"No need." Harry still had a sarcastic smile on his face, "I found a way myself, and I'm fine now."
"Harry, don't you understand? You joined a terrorist organization!" Peter shook his head, "Once you join, there is no way for you to quit. You have no idea what horrible and bloody things they are doing! Harry , you shouldn't be involved!"
"Since I have no way to quit this terrorist organization, what are you trying to persuade me to do here?" Harry's face showed an unbelievable look, "Are you here to encourage me, let me quit, and let me be killed by them?" ?”
"No, I want to say, I will protect you." Peter said in a firm tone.
"Protection?" Harry showed an even more puzzled expression. After a while, the corners of Harry's mouth curled up a little, as if he heard something funny, "When you ignore me and throw it aside After that, you said protection to me?"
"Peter, I regard you as my only friend, and I cherish everything about you." Harry said softly, "I told you, I don't want to be a monster like my father, struggling to die in the dark ;I told you I wanted to live, any way I wanted to live; I beg you, humbly, to help me."
Peter didn't speak, he saw the pain gradually bursting from Harry's frozen green eyes.
This pain was like a flood, engulfing Peter under the invisible black water in the blink of an eye.
"You know all my pain and fear. I pin all my and last hopes on you. You promised me that you would help me." The cold expression on his pale face seemed a bit ferocious and terrifying, and Harry's emotions were also fluctuating more violently, and his voice gradually raised, "But what? What I got in return was your deception, your rejection, and Your escape!"
"Oh, protection." Harry's eyes were full of contempt, and he grinned without a smile. That smile was like a fatal unhealed bloody wound torn open in the dark. Cruelty is terrifying to others, "When you left me alone and waited to die, did you say protection to me?"
"You gave up on me, Peter." Harry's eyes were full of hatred, "You are no different from anyone else, you don't care about my life, you just watch me struggle madly in pain, waiting for me to die !"
"I didn't!" cried Peter in pain. "I never thought of that!"
"Harry, don't do this." Peter took a deep breath, his eyes begging. "You know, I never thought about it. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Harry."
"I don't know." There was an expressionless indifference in Harry's eyes, even enjoying Peter's pain at this moment, "Spider, I don't know anything. Of course, you don't know, everything I have suffered pain."
Peter looked at Harry helplessly. He had never felt that a person standing in front of him was so far away from him.
He felt that he had been dragged by Harry to the precipice of pain, and he was lost in the darkness without any resistance.
But Harry felt that this was not enough, he wanted to make him suffer even more.
Peter didn't doubt that Harry could do it.
"Harry, you can hate me, you can get revenge on me." Peter said weakly, completely in the deepest powerlessness, "but you must know your situation, you are destroying yourself. They are the most cruel and merciless horrors Molecules, they will control everything about you, and they will exploit your value for them. Before you get to that point, you still have a chance to come out."
Harry stared at Peter quietly, and in those green eyes was the cold swamp that made Peter unable to escape the pain.
"Peter Parker."
The name came out of Harry's mouth without any warmth, but at the same time it became a brand of pain for both Harry and Peter.
"You are the one who has always wanted to control me."
Peter's body shook, and his pupils shrank sharply.
Harry's words seemed to suddenly reveal something that Peter himself hadn't realized.
"Harry..." Peter softly called Harry's name, and the deeper despair was like a drowning person in the endless sea.
In an extremely dark and irreversible future, it is only possible to end with a tragic tragedy as a bloody curtain.
"Little spider, I will be your eternal enemy."
In the increasingly dim darkness, Harry's cold voice became the final blow to Peter's heart.
And that pair of icy green eyes completely eroded by the darkness of hatred.
Out of breath, Peter sat up abruptly from the bed, horror still in his eyes.After a while, Peter slowly looked around with blank eyes, and finally realized that he was on his own bed—everything just now was just a dream.
However, Peter's whole body was cold, and he was already covered in cold sweat.
Peter slowly opened his clenched fists, his hands trembling slightly stiffly.
Looking at the time, it was only 04:30, only half an hour had passed since he fell asleep.
The dream was fragmented, but every subtle expression of Harry and every word in the conversation were so clearly and deeply imprinted in Peter's mind, as if such a scene had really happened.
Peter's heart was full of fear called "fear after".
It seemed that another kind of twisted and dark future was inadvertently unfolded in front of his eyes, which made him feel cold all over.
Peter's heartbeat was disordered, he couldn't sleep anymore, and he couldn't stay at home, so he turned out of the window after changing a casual clothes.This time Peter didn't put on Spider-Man's battle suit and fly over the walls, he just walked step by step with his own feet, as if this was the only way to settle down the chaotic thoughts and calm his mood, which was still immersed in pain. down.
Unknowingly, Peter went all the way to the door of Harry's villa.
The security guard recognized him, and although he was a little surprised, he let him in through the gate.
Peter knew how to enter Harry's villa, but at this moment he didn't want to go in, he just stood quietly at the door of Harry's house.
In some nightmares, only by seeing the reality opposite to the nightmare with both eyes can the panic be truly calmed down.
Peter wanted to wait here for Harry to come back, and it would be fine to wait a day.
In fact, it was earlier than Peter thought. Harry came back after eleven o'clock in the morning.Harry, who was sitting in the car, got out of the car in a hurry. He looked at Peter, who was still standing at the door of the house, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
"Peter! What's wrong with you?" Harry strode up to Peter, and burst out a series of questions angrily, "Why are you so crazy all of a sudden? Waiting for me at the door of my house? Aren't you going to open the door? Show your face Is it so hard for you to get in? Are you going to stand here forever if I'm not coming back today?"
Peter fixedly looked into Harry's eyes. There was no hatred, no sarcasm, no coldness in those beautiful green eyes.
Only now did Peter finally feel at ease.
"Harry, I had a nightmare," Peter said softly.
"...Since you know it's a dream, you know it's all fake." Harry was stunned, as if he didn't think that Peter ran to his door and stood there for so many hours just because of a nightmare.
Harry thought to himself, could it be that Peter dreamed that something happened to him, so he was here waiting for him because he was worried about him?
"I know." Peter nodded, with a finally relieved smile on his face, "but I still want to see you."
Harry was at a loss at this moment, as if Peter's sincere concern came too suddenly.
At this moment, Peter stretched out his hands and hugged Harry, cherishing it as if it was a lost and found hug.
It's good that nothing has gone down that irreversible path.
Thanks to Mr. Saitama for saving Harry, and also for saving him.
"Peter..." Harry's body was a little stiff, and a moment of bewilderment appeared in his green eyes.
"Harry, I hope you survive more than anyone else." Peter's voice trembled slightly.
The cold and sarcastic face of Harry in the dream seemed to appear in Peter's sight again——
"I have no idea."
"Spider, I don't know anything."
"Of course, you don't know all the pain I have suffered."
"Of course I know." Harry pursed his lips and smiled, reaching out and patting Peter on the back.
The gentle words that sounded in the ear, like the light of dawn, tore apart the dark dream at once, leaving nowhere to hide the darkness buried in it, leaving only the faint light scattered in the warm light. wind.
It wasn't until this time that Peter felt as if he had finally woken up.
He looked into Harry's warm green eyes, and couldn't figure out what happened vaguely in that nightmare.
"It's good that you know." Peter's heart finally calmed down, watching Harry's mouth slightly raised.
"I also have something I want to tell you." Harry said at this moment.
"What's the matter?" Peter, who was nervous, was a little worried at once.
"You hid me about you being Spider-Man. So I also hid you, my other identity." Because Peter finally decided to tell him the truth frankly, Harry didn't want to continue this mutual secret activities of dual identities.
Peter was stunned for a moment.
"Don't tell me, you are the Green Goblin..." After thinking for a while, Peter finally figured out something.
Harry didn't speak, just smiled and took out his phone, as if sending a text message.
Peter's electronic watch vibrated.
Raising his hand, Peter saw that the Green Goblin sent him a familiar message——
"Green Goblin: =)"
