Chapter 222-225 (1/2)

<hr><hr><hr>

On the first Friday night of school, Lin Rui arrived at the base of League of Defender after dark. He had previously agreed with Peter to meet here as it seemed that Peter had something to tell him.

Because Daredevil joined s.h.i.+ELD, and Jack was the owner of the Frankenstein Family, and Deadpool was busy being famous for making big news every day, so there are usually no people in the base. However, if there is something that everyone needs to do together, then they will unite as soon as possible.

“Why hasn’t Peter come yet? Is something wrong?” Lin Rui played a game in the base for a while and watched that it had been more than an hour since his planned appointment with Peter. After whispering to himself, Lin Rui took out his cell phone as it was better to make a call and ask.

“Hey, Spiderman, didn’t you agree to meet me at the base? Why didn’t you come?” The phone was quickly answered and Lin Rui asked Peter from the other end.

“Huh? Ah! I forgot, now I’m at home!” Peter on the phone seemed a little surprised, then explained briefly. Listening to his tone, it really seems that he had simply forgotten it.

“Then you said you had something to tell me. What was it?” Lin Rui is relieved to know that Peter is all right.

“What? What? It’s Nothing!” In response to Lin Rui’s question, Peter says in an unexpected voice that he’s ok.

“Really? Is everything fine.” Although he was a little confused about Peter’s answer, Lin Rui didn’t think too much.

“Yes, I’m going to hang up now and I’ll meet you later.” Peter on the other side of the phone didn’t seem to want to say anything to Lin Rui and hung up after saying this.

Toot ~

Before Lin Rui can react, Peter hangs up, leaving Lin Rui stunned.

“Is there really something so urgent?” Putting down the phone with some confusion, Lin Rui mumbled. However, it was only a little confusing, and there was nothing unusual about Peter’s behavior.

“Forget it, let’s continue playing the game. I’ll go to Harry’s house tomorrow to see how he is doing, and then contact Fury again. I still need to cooperate with them on the follow-up to eliminate Hydra.” Shaking his head, Lin Rui put his attention to the game he was playing.

However, Lin Rui, who is absorbed in playing the game, fails to notice that an indicator light on the laptop on the desk in front of him is flas.h.i.+ng rhythmically, but the computer is clearly turned off at this time.

…

The next day, Lin Rui, who had made an appointment with Peter, came to Harry’s house again. He doesn’t know what had happened to Peter these two days as he had disappeared from school after the cla.s.s end. Lin Rui always thought that Dr. Connors needed Peter’s help in the follow-up experiment. However, he even blew up seeing Harry, which made Lin Rui a little bit upset.

Having greeted Harry in advance, Lin Rui walked directly into this luxury house that he had visited before. Two minutes later, Lin Rui finally met Harry, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

“Hey! Harry, I haven’t seen you in a long time!” Lin Rui smiles and gives Harry a big hug as he walks forward and see how much more mature he looks now.

Call!

“Jackson, thank you, I’m fine.” Also hugging Lin Rui with a strong hug, Harry replied with a smile.

“Where’s Peter? I thought you were coming here together?” After separating from Lin Rui, Harry looks over Lin Rui’s shoulder and asks questioningly as he doesn’t see Peter.

“Maybe something is wrong. I don’t know what this guy is doing these days.” Shaking his head, Lin Rui says he doesn’t know where Peter is.

“However, I heard that his research with Dr. Connors is finally successful. How about it, have you cured yourself?” Speaking of Peter, Lin Rui mentioned Harry’s genetic disease, which is also a point of concern for Lin Rui. Lin Rui and Harry have a good friends.h.i.+p between them, otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked it directly.

“You mean the Genetic Recovery Serum, yes, the experiment was successful and the effect has been confirmed. But I have not used it for the time being, and the serum will need some improvement in the future to suit my situation.” At Lin Rui’s words, Harry answers with a twinkle in his eye.

“Oh, so it works. I was worried about you when I heard that you have a family hereditary genetic disease. It would be great if you can get cured now! By the way, have you celebrated this news with Gwen?” Lin Rui was relieved to hear Harry’s words, and then asked some gossip.

Although Harry didn’t see much of him and Peter after Norman Osborn’s death but Gwen, as his girlfriend, should have met often. Now their relations.h.i.+p may have developed to a deep step.

“Gwen? I haven’t been able to tell her because I’ve had a lot going on at work lately.” At the sound of Gwen’s name, Harry’s pupils involuntarily constricted, then he calmly replied.

“Really, of course, the sooner you can tell her the better. Even if you are too busy, you can’t ignore your girlfriend, you know?” Lin Rui himself is not in love so he can only give him a brief reminder about the situation between Harry and Gwen.

“Well, since you’re so busy, should I be bothering you today?” Lin Rui, who had just sat down on the sofa, suddenly asked.

After not seeing Harry for so long, he didn’t know what to talk about. After all, part of Lin Rui’s life is completely off the record, and the events at school probably won’t interest Harry much anymore.

“It’s nothing. I’m tired from work, but I need a rest. We’re going to play a few games and then we’re going to have dinner together. I had a chef cook for us today.” Harry, sitting opposite Lin Rui, smiled and said, clearly aware of Lin Rui’s slight awkwardness.

Harry has become more and more like a mature president, but Lin Rui doesn’t like the way Harry looks in front of him. He always thinks that Harry’s changes seem a little big and he is not the Harry he knew before. Although Harry was more mature than his peers in the past, it was far from the aura that Lin Rui felt now. However, after the changes in the company and the death of his father, it was quite understandable that Harry had changed so much.

That’s it, after spending more than three hours in Harry’s apartment, Lin Rui finally came out with a filled belly. The chef Harry hired was really good. Lin Rui, whose family runs a restaurant, almost bit his tongue while eating the dishes.

“Is it my delusion? I was feeling that something is wrong with Harry today. Did the last thing sent to Norman affect Harry?”

“It’s not just Harry, Peter has been acting a little weird these days.” Wandering towards the subway exit, Lin Rui was thinking about somethings as he walked.

Although Peter had a loose mouth habit when he became Spiderman, he should be somewhat shy in normal times. But in the past two days at school, Peter seemed to be a little bit of a showoff, and he even took the initiative to ask a girl out. This personality change puzzled Lin Rui, but he couldn’t figure out why.

“Hopefully it’s just my delusion. Bad things shouldn’t always find my two friends.” Shaking his head, Lin Rui wanted to shake out the bad feelings in his heart. Then he stepped forward into the subway exit in front.

<hr><hr>

Two days later, Lin Rui and Jack were sitting on their respective sofas at the Guardian Base. Lin Rui was watching a video on the laptop in front of him, and the protagonist of the video was Spiderman Peter.

In the video, Peter easily defeated a gang involved in the drug trade, and it looked like it was a feat to protect peace in New York City. However, Lin Rui who is watching the video did not look very good and frowned slightly.

“Mirage Knight, forget it! Isn’t it just Spiderman acting alone, and nothing bad has happened, do you need to be so upset?” Just as Lin Rui stared at the video, Jack sitting on his side suddenly said.

Glancing up at Jack, Lin Rui says helplessly, “I wouldn’t worry too much if it were just like this, but don’t you think Spiderman has been acting up lately? This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. ”

Speaking of the drug-trafficking operation in the video, it was the information provided by Jack. It would be perfectly fine to deal with such gangsters regardless of who stopped them. But Lin Rui had fought against Francis and the forces behind him and also killed a Level four Mutant, so he was still a little worried that the forces behind them would hit them. So Lin Rui originally planned to go with Peter to carry out the operation together but he did not expect that Peter would go alone in advance and knock them all down before they even got to the trading part. Lin Rui did not understand this situation.

And it’s not the first time something like this has happened, only this time it makes Lin Rui feel even weirder. Since last week, some of Peter’s behaviors have been developing in a direction that Lin Rui cannot understand. Not only does Peter begin to show his differences in normal times, but he is also more active in fighting criminals when he turns into Spiderman. Besides, he is always photographed in the downtown area, which makes Lin Rui feel very strange.

Lin Rui has a bad feeling about this change in Peter. Even Wade, who is bent on making a splash recently, doesn’t have as much exposure as Peter.

At this time, Lin Rui was just feeling a bit strange about the current changes in Peter and he was not thinking of any special case like Venom infecting Peter. After all, in Lin Rui’s memory, In the Spiderman movie, Venom turned the spiderman suit into a striking black. And the Spiderman suit that Peter is wearing now was designed by Tony himself, and it doesn’t change much at all.

Moreover, Lin Rui’s original Spiderman series of movies have been shot in three different versions. Venom only appeared in one of them. How could he know which version of Marvel World those movies are in? Even if it was based on comics, Lin Rui had never seen the comics, and he would never know about Venom.

“That just goes to show that Spiderman wants to be famous. After all, Deadpool has been trying to get famous lately, so it’s normal for him to feel a bit of crisis as New York’s favorite Vigilante.” Jack doesn’t have a lot of contact with Spiderman at ordinary times. After hearing Lin Rui’s words, he replied without any care.

“Spiderman is not that kind of person, but, you know, he’s been acting like he’s trying to get people’s attention lately. Well, I’ll ask him again the next time I see him. I feel like I’ve missed something.” Peter is very happy to have his own fans, but he is not the kind of person who changes so much just for the sake of increasing his fans. Finally, Lin Rui can only think of the next time she sees Peter and asks him in person.

dī dīdrop ~

Just as Lin Rui was about to turn off the video of Spiderman on the Laptop, a window popped up on the screen, which was a simple dialogue window.

“Hmm? Who sent the message?” Seeing the dialogue window that pops up on the Laptop screen, Lin Rui thought with some doubts.

The Laptops placed in the Guardian Base are usually not taken out, and their Internet IP addresses are masked in a special way. Of course, Lin Rui didn’t know much about it. It was only done after he consulted with J.A.R.V.I.S. Therefore, no one other than the people in the League of Defender will send messages to this Laptop.

However, Lin Rui’s expression suddenly became serious when he saw the next word displayed in that conversation window. Then, Lin Rui didn’t even think about it as he reached out and pressed the Laptop’s shutdown b.u.t.ton.

“Oh? What’s wrong? Even if you can’t get used to Spiderman being in limelight, you don’t have to do this.” Because Lin Rui’s shutdown action was a bit large, Jack sitting beside him only saw Lin Rui pressed the power b.u.t.ton quickly, and thought he didn’t want to see Spiderman.

However, Lin Rui doesn’t answer Jack’s question. Instead, he looks even harder at the laptop screen. There, the laptop screen, which was supposed to be dark, was still on, and the dialog box was still in front of Lin Rui’s eyes.

“h.e.l.lo, Mirage Knight or Spiderman, I’m Sky’s Eye, I’m very happy to talk to you.” These are the words that popped up in the dialog box, and it is this sentence that makes Lin Rui’s face change and he pressed the power off b.u.t.ton.

Needless to say, the conversation on the Laptop was obviously from someone who had found their IP address and is tracking it. Lin Rui tried to turn off the Laptop but he couldn’t do it, it is likely that even the Laptop was controlled by the other party. To be on the safe side, Lin Rui planned to smash the Laptop directly. However, he knew that this was useless, and if the other party was able to do this, they would almost be sure of their position.

Huh ~

So, without answering Jack’s words, Lin Rui turned the Laptop towards him, so that he could see the sentence on the screen.

“Eh? Is it a virus?! Or was it hacked?” Jack asked without looking worried. In the League of Defender, Jack’s ident.i.ty can probably be exposed without any fear.

“Of course it is hacking! Our location may have been exposed, do you know that this is very dangerous!” Lin Rui said helplessly when he saw that Jack didn’t care.
