Chapter 27: Gossip
After Uncle Ben found out about Le Xia, he warmly invited him to stay at home temporarily. Le Xia didn't refuse, and readily accepted.
Because of the car, it was already late when they returned to Parker's house.
Parker's aunt May Parker welcomed them into the house, and warmly welcomed Le Xia after clarifying the situation.
"I'm still thinking about why you guys came back so late. It turned out to be because of the car. Go wash your hands first. I'll make a meal for you. Tonight I made my best meat roll."
After Aunt Mei finished speaking, she went to the kitchen. After Parker took Le Xia to wash her hands, the two sat down at the dining table next to Uncle Ben.
The news is on the nearby TV.
"The current news is too exaggerated." Uncle Ben pressed the remote control to change channels, "Oh, you guys watch this."
On TV, a police officer in police uniform was speaking to reporters.
"Regarding the vicious incident that happened in the abandoned factory building last night, we have made preliminary progress. The murderer is a man with a tattoo of a firebird on his back..."
A photo taken in the distance is inserted on the screen. In the photo is the back of a person, wearing black armor-like clothes on the lower body. On the naked back, there is a tattoo of a firebird. The tattoo is lifelike as if it is still shining .
‘According to insiders, this person’s name is Bennu Teruho, who is suspected of murdering 136 people. We have issued an arrest warrant for Bennu Teruho in accordance with the law, and hope that the general public will actively provide clues...’
The last picture is left on the glowing firebird tattoo.
"Huihuo?!" Parker covered his mouth and stared at Le Xia blankly, feeling a little unhappy.
He worked very late last night to design the spider silk launcher, but he overslept today. He called Le Xia as soon as he woke up in the morning, and didn't come to watch the news online at all.
"136 lives, what the **** is so cruel..." Aunt Mei who was passing by covered her mouth, obviously a little bit unbearable.
Uncle Ben also sighed, "136 people, although these people are all gangsters who do evil things, but what Huihuo did is a bit too much, he has no right to do so."
Fortunately, it's all other people's business. They put it aside after a brief chat. After a happy dinner, Parker took Le Xia back to his room.
After closing the door and plugging it in with a homemade hydraulic device, Parker pushed Le Xia down on the bed.
"Is everything on the news true? Is that person really you? Did you really kill...kill so many people?"
Le Xia didn't answer, but asked instead, "Don't you think they shouldn't die?"
"But, but..."
Parker didn't speak for a long time. Although he thought about being the city guardian with Le Xia, he was still a seventeen-year-old child after all. different.
To Parker, killing people was already unimaginable, let alone killing 136 people at once.
But what confuses Parker is that he doesn't seem to completely deny Le Xia's murderous behavior in his heart. Instead, for some reason, there seems to be a trace of regret in the deepest part of his heart that he didn't go with him.
That's one hundred and thirty-six lives, and one hundred and thirty-six executioners.
Slumped on the floor, Parker held his head, "I don't know...I don't know what to say, that, after all, it was more than a hundred lives."
Le Xia sighed, "If I said that I just beat them into disabilities, I didn't kill them."
"What?" Parker jumped up from the floor, "You said you didn't kill them, but why did the news say...could it be the one who shot the arrow."
Le Xia shook his head, "It shouldn't be him. He was beaten half to death by me at the time, and he didn't have the ability to do these things, but his companion may not be sure. But I don't know for sure. Anyway, I will bear the blame. Damn, why didn't the person who took the photo be found at that time."
Le Xia didn't lie, he actually kept his hands back at that time, but he didn't know what happened later, whether it was done by the SHIELD or other gangs took advantage of the fire, it's hard to say.
Hearing that Le Xia didn't kill anyone, Parker finally felt relieved. To be honest, if Le Zheng really became a murderer, Parker really didn't know how to get along with Le Xia.
While Parker breathed a sigh of relief, he thought of another question, "But now the police have pinned this case on you, and if you show up as Benu Huihuo in the future, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble. "
"But for those criminals, it's more deterrent, isn't it?"
Le Xia's rhetorical question left Parker speechless. This is indeed a question with two sides.
But Le Xia just said that, when he goes out with Parker's Spider-Man in the future, he will naturally not use the identity of Benu Huihuo, otherwise it will be a trouble, and it will easily lead to bad Spider-Man's good neighbor in New York reputation.
"Don't worry, aren't you going to make a battle suit? You embroidered two moon-shaped logos on my chest. The crescents are curved outward. From now on, my name will be Mr. Moon."
Parker was a little confused, so, "Mr. Moon, the slogan doesn't mean that the moon will destroy you. This seems to be a bit of a sissy."
Le Xia shook her head, "Since when did you read the island girl comics? What does it represent the moon? UU Reading www.uukanshu.com don't translate it into Mr. Moon, but directly transliterate it—Mr. Mu."
"Is there any special significance?"
"No, it's just that I like it."
Putting aside the matter of the code name, Parker reached out to lift the holy cloth box on the ground, "What's the matter with this box? Why do you carry a copper box with you? It weighs almost a ton. No wonder Uncle Ben just now It drives like a snail."
Le Xia pointed at the holy clothes box, "Feel it and see if there is anything special."
After doing so, Parker felt that his IQ had been tricked, "This is just an ordinary copper box, is there anything special?"
"Sure enough," Le Xia touched her chin and said to herself, "Clarice didn't feel anything even if she moved through this box. It seems that only I can use this box."
"Then here comes the question, why is there a holy-cloth box in the Marvel world, and why is it only me who can use it? Grandma Joan said that the holy-cloth box was picked up by the previous 'me', so...in the end It was 'I' who picked up the holy-cloth box, or the holy-cloth box 'picked up' me."
"What are you talking about?" Parker's super spider sense of hearing didn't understand.
"It's okay, I'll dig a hole for the readers."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Parker suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, don't you have a firebird tattoo in the photo on TV? When did you get it? Why don't I know?"
"Do you want to see it?" Le Xia raised his eyebrows.
Parker nodded, "Of course I do! It looks super cool on TV."
Le Xia spread her hands, "If you don't want your house to be set on fire, then wash up and go to sleep. Find a place where no one is around tomorrow, and I'll cover it up for you."
Parker rolled his eyes, then you just said a fart.
