American Comics: The Law of Strength

When Peter left the library, it was past noon.

However, the weather was still excessively cold, and at this time fine snowflakes were still falling in the sky, and it was not long before the ground was covered with white cotton wool.

However, the surrounding pedestrians did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, but smiled one after another.

And there are many more men and women on the street who are full of happy smiles, holding hands and coming out on a date.

It was only then that Peter later discovered that today seemed to be February 14, Valentine's day.

Of course, generally this day is translated as Valentine's Day.

However, the joys and sorrows of people are not connected, and at this time, Peter was not only completely unaffected by the pink aura nearby, but frowned and looked unhappy.

And the source of Peter's irritability was the report against Gwen. This directly led to the

fact that Peter's two-hour trip to pass the time in the library was directly increased to six hours.

During these hours, he searched in great detail for everything about Gwen after Peter Parker's death.

These reports shocked Peter and made him very angry.

In fact, Peter is not ignorant of the plot where Gwen is wanted by the police after Peter Parker's death and is spurned by the world.

After all, this is an important plot that makes Gwen become the real Spider-Man, and makes her understand that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

No matter which version of Gwen Spider-Man will experience such a loss once to be complete.

Just as there must be that alley in the origin story of Batman, the origin story of Superman must be accompanied by the destruction of Krypton.

These plots are somewhat understood even by those who have not seen these stories at all.

But it's one thing to know these plots, and it's another thing to experience them firsthand, not to mention that so many details are filled in at this time.

In the comics, it is clear that it is just a laugh off, but in reality, it can instantly cure everyone's low blood pressure.

Peter was in this "engorged" state at this time.

And what happened to Gwen reminded Peter of a sentence.

When an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent.

What portrays Gwen as a wanted criminal is precisely the media that once praised her and the people who once supported her,

and when they saw that the former superhero was finally stained, fans who had supported Ghost Spider turned against each other in an instant, and the reports that had been praised all began to "reveal" the unknown side of Ghost Spider-Man.

Even when journalists come to Gwen in the name of investigating the truth, the questions they ask are full of traps.

More journalists and media outlets dug deeper, zooming in on every detail about the ghost Spider-Man's past to link her to the image of the murderer. After all, it is far

more interesting to destroy the character of a noble hero who constantly fights to eliminate crime in the city than to defend her, and it is easier to cater to the public's aesthetic preferences for conspiracy theories.

And the people have no judgment on whether Gwen is innocent or not, in fact, they don't care if Gwen is innocent, they just need someone who can reasonably vent.

This person can be Ghost Spider-Man, some politician, or just some kind of ism, as long as they can vent their resentment and they don't care who it is.

As for those who truly believe in Gwen's innocence, or are reasonable, they can only fall into silence that does not concern themselves.

What angered David the most was the official actions, which pandered to the media without a deep investigation, labeling Gwen as a murderer, and almost never giving her a chance to clear her wrongs.

The person who chose to do so was Gwen's father, George Stacy, the current commissioner of the New York Police Department.

It's hard to imagine how much psychological pressure this sixteen-year-old girl has been under.

In addition to Peter's own anger, there is also a bit of self-blame after fusing Peter Parker's memory.

Peter Parker's death not only did not bring Gwen the same creed of greater power and responsibility, but also brought her a deep curse and made her spurned by the world.

Although Peter still hasn't changed his mind about staying away from Gwen, today's experience also made him secretly decide to help Gwen get out of this bad situation as much as possible.

But regardless of the future, today's trip to the library really delayed Peter.

By the time Peter finally got back to the safe house, it was six o'clock in the evening, a full four hours later than his scheduled return.

And Diane has been awake for a long time at this time, she is sitting on the bed with a dull face, all wrapped in the futon, only a pair of white and small bare feet are exposed.

And when she saw Peter return, there was a little light in her eyes.

She put aside the T-shirt and shorts that Peter had handed him, and then she pointed to the supplies Peter had purchased and asked weakly,

"Did you buy food?"

Peter blinked, stunned for a few seconds before he hurriedly found a pile of chocolates from the large bag he brought back, and he was also a little puzzled.

"I remember that as a shelter, there were not a lot of cans stored here as emergency rations?"

Diane didn't answer right away, she tore open the chocolate wrapper, took a bite of the next half, and then complained without the slightest ladylike demeanor while chewing:

"That's a can saved from the Cold War!" Just that aged meat with aged beans, this meal alone is more than a hundred years old!

After eating the chocolate in three bites, Diane continued to tear the wrapping paper, tearing and complaining as she tore.

"Why do you guys always like to buy chocolate? Just because of the small size and high calorie?

Peter shook his head while putting back on his Batman helmet and denied,

"Because it's Valentine's Day."

This answer was really unexpected for Diane, and directly made her stunned for a few seconds.

She glanced at Peter suspiciously, to see if he was joking.

"Because it's Valentine's Day, you buy chocolate? So you are so emotional?

However, Peter shook his head again and denied:

"Because of Valentine's Day, any trash can is full of flowers and chocolates, and you can find a lot of unexpected surprises."

Just now I found a lot of lipstick in a bouquet of flowers that made me sell it for forty dollars.

After saying that, Peter also raised his eyebrows triumphantly, in fact, his gains were far more than that.

With his strong perception, he can almost instantly tell from a series of information such as taste and temperature that those bouquets contain high-value items that can be recycled.

In addition to cosmetics, he also found a lot of diamond rings and gold jewelry, which directly increased his system balance by nearly ten points.

It is a pity that the diamond was judged by the system to be worthless and could not be absorbed, otherwise he would have the confidence to draw another prize based on tonight's harvest alone.

However, Diane was shocked again, she looked at the chocolate that had been half bitten in her hand, and mixed emotions welled up in her heart.

If life could be compared to the four seasons, Diane had confidently believed that most of her life would be spring, and then she would come to an end in a short autumn day.

Although she was also prepared for winter, she did not expect that this winter would come so early and so fiercely.

If she had been in the past, she would never have believed that in less than a week, she had changed from a young lady to a poor little girl who ate the chocolate she picked up for a living.

And what made Diane most sad was that the chocolate she picked up was really delicious, and even she had just flashed the idea of buying it to eat after regaining the family.

Just when Diane hesitated whether to continue eating in humiliation, Gwen's arrival saved her.

I saw Gwen sitting next to Diane with two bags containing hamburgers in one hand and a few clothes in the other.

Then she opened a burger and stuffed it into her mouth, while she didn't forget to greet the two humorously.

"Hey two, have you missed me since I saw you in so long?"

However, as soon as Gwen finished speaking, Diane flew down on the bed, and then Diane directly opened her mouth to bite the burger, and then the two started a burger battle.

And Peter was watching the battle with his eyes shining at the moment.

The troubles and anger of the day were suddenly swept away.

After all, who doesn't like the passion stickers of two beautiful girls.
