Marvel's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - Chapter 162

c161 Meet old friends

Mysterio handed a wine glass to his female companion and said, “Then, a new Kingpin will rise in this city! Stronger than the Green Goblin, stronger than the Crime Master…”

Dong, Dong, Dong.

The knock on the door interrupted Mysterio’s bold words.

A servant pushed open the door and poked his head in: “Excuse me, sir, there is a Mr. Wilson Fisk who said.”

A big hand pulled the servant back and pushed the door open heavily.

Then, a burly figure who looked like a black bear and full of oppression appeared in the door frame: “Good evening, Baker, I found someone you must want to meet.”

——

Mysterio followed Kingpin to a dim basement.

A man was hanging there.

According to Kingpin, this man was a remnant of the Green Goblin, named Bull.

With the help of Mysterio’s magic smoke, he easily took out the secret of Shadow Spider-Man from Bull’s mouth.

Including how Shadow Spider-Man was bitten, the origins of the spiders that bit him, and their past battles with Shadow Spider-Man.

“Then tell me about Felicia Hardy.” Mysterio grasped the key.

It is said that this woman named Felicia Hardy is the lover of Shadow Spider-Man, and the two often meet.

So, as long as they catch this woman, they can force Shadow Spider-Man to show up and then fall into the trap!

Things really went quite smoothly just as Mysterio and Kingpin planned.

Kingpin led people to break into Felicia Hardy’s home and forcibly abducted her.

Then, Mysterio published this news in the Daily Bugle and officially declared war on Shadow Spider-Man:

[In this Thursday’s special program, “The Great Mysterio” will challenge “the famous outlaw” Shadow Spider-Man to see if he can save the life of a masked cat lady. Spider-Man must sacrifice his blood to the spirit of Anansi, or the masked lady will have to be sacrificed in his place! 】

——

On Thursday.

Because of the newspaper publicity, the theater was packed.

A huge portrait of “Spider God Anansi” was placed on the background of the theater.

In the western part of the continent, there are many stories about “Gods of Mischief”.

These eccentric guys fight with the gods through pranks, making everything in the world gradually standardized and orderly, and also bringing countless troubles to humans.

The most famous of them is the Spider God Anansi.

He is a god of the Ashanti people in Ghana. He is not only a mischievous prankster, but also a popular cultural hero. His pranks brought darkness, moon, sun, stories, arguments, as well as disease and death to the world.

What Anansi is most talked about is that he is good at using his brain to outsmart animals that are stronger than himself.

Mysterio was using this gimmick to make his performance more “legitimate”.

Of course, the audience thought it was just a choreographed performance.

Although Felicia Hardy’s graceful figure was really tied up with her hands tied in the center of the stage.

Although Mysterio held a sharp dagger in his hand

Shadow Spider didn’t know whether this was a trap, but he couldn’t afford to gamble.

He and Felicia Hardy did have some casual love, and in the previous battle, he also caused her to be disfigured. This made him feel guilty.

So, no matter what, he couldn’t sit back and watch her fall into danger again.

“I know you are watching, Shadow Spider-Man! The anger of the Spider God Anansi must be calmed! In order to save this innocent woman, are you ready to sacrifice your blood?” Mysterio said loudly.

Shadow Spider jumped down and landed in the center of the stage: “Since you know she is an innocent woman, why don’t you put down the knife, Mysterio!”

“Oh – welcome, Shadow Spider-Man! It’s great that you can keep the appointment!” Mysterio’s eyes lit up.

Shadow Spider stared at him and said coldly: “Now, let the person go, don’t play tricks.”

“Okay,” Mysterio actually put the dagger back into the short sheath at his waist, “But my lovely child, you have to know that I am a magician. I make a living by playing tricks! Ella, please!”

Mysterio’s female companion Ella, who was standing aside, immediately threw out a magic smoke ball.

“What is this?” Shadow Spider was shocked.

But the poisonous smoke had begun to spread continuously, penetrating through the mask and drilling into his nostrils.

He quickly held his breath, but still felt a little dizzy.

“Dizzy, this is not dry ice, it is some kind of poison gas. We must fight quickly!” Shadow Spider thought to himself.

At this time, the mysterious man’s bewitching words rang in his ears again: “Come on, I’m standing in front of you, hit me!”

Although Shadow Spider sensed that something was wrong, he still raised his hand and punched!

But he missed!

Mysterio was not there at all!

“Is this his illusion? Using nerve gas, plus hypnotic prompts and guidance” Shadow Spider immediately understood the current situation, but even though he could analyze the situation in his mind, his hands and feet were already somewhat out of control.

And at this moment, Mysterio appeared behind him, holding a mace, and hit him hard on the back of his head.

Duang!

A figure suddenly appeared behind Shadow Spider.

The mace hit hard, but it only hit the man’s raised arm, making a sound of metal clashing.

“What’s going on? !!” The force of the mace rebounding back made Mysterio’s tiger mouth hurt, and he was horrified.

Before he could react, he saw an arm with black and red metal armor stretched out, pinched his throat tightly and lifted him up: “What do you want to do to my friend?”

A pair of red eyes appeared in the poison gas, staring at Mysterio.

Mysterio was terrified and had no idea what was going on.

Bid reached out his hand, exerted a little force, and removed both hands of the mysterious man.

Then he threw the mysterious man into the transparent coffin prepared on the side: “I heard that you have escape magic, why don’t you perform it?”

“No, no, you are murdering!” The mysterious man panicked.

He didn’t know any escape magic, but he used the psychedelic poison gas and language hypnosis that were spread in the theater in advance to make the audience have illusions, thus creating a false impression.

In fact, during the performance, the real him was always standing behind the scenes!

Bid sneered: “You are the ‘great mysterious man’, who has successfully performed water escape countless times. Now I just let you perform it again. How can it be called murder?”

As he said, he closed the coffin lid directly and pressed the button on the transparent coffin.

The rushing water immediately flowed into the coffin along the copper pipe.

Then, Bid grabbed the shadow spider with one hand, and broke the chain that tied Felicia Hardy with the other hand, and took the two away from here.

Both of them were poisoned by the nerve gas of the mysterious man. Fortunately, this nerve gas is not fatal. They are just in a paralyzed state now.

Bid simply ignored them and waited quietly.

A few minutes later, Shadow Spider, who was in better physical condition, woke up first.

As soon as he woke up, he found that the scene around him had changed, and then he found Bid sitting next to him.

But at this time, Bid was still wearing his nano spider suit.

Shadow Spider asked in confusion: “You saved me? Are you Spider-Man from another world?”

After all, he had been to the Ultimate Spider World more than half a year ago and saw black technology, so he was not surprised.

But he was a little strange. How could a Spider-Man suddenly appear in his world?

Bid smiled, stood up, and retracted the nanoparticles on his head.

“Look at me again, who am I?”

Shadow Spider was slightly stunned, then said in surprise: “Bidder?!!”

He laughed, stepped forward quickly, and hugged Bidder tightly: “You actually came to my world! It seems that you have truly mastered your power called ‘time and space’!”

Bidder also hugged back, full of emotion: “Yes, and my journey is much more exciting than you imagined!”

“Oh? Then you have to tell me about it!” Shadow Spider was very happy.

The two were the first Spider-Man to know each other.

At that time, Bidder had just gained the ability, and unconsciously activated his own time and space power. He also sensed the fluctuations of the particle collider created by Jin Bing in the Ultimate Spider World, and then arrived in that world.

But because he did not get the matching stone slab, he was unable to obtain the “start-up funds” given by the weaving master. Therefore, after overloading, he fell into a weak state and became a completely ordinary person.

After that, Shadow Spider trained Bid, allowing him to directly cross the “newbie stage” that many Spider-Mans have to face, so that he, who was originally powerless, could also have certain combat capabilities.

It was also because of Shadow Spider’s teaching that he had enough force to change everything when he went to the world of Toby Spider and Andrew Spider later!

If the Weaving Master is the root of his current achievements, then Shadow Spider is the foundation for everything he has now.

If there was no Shadow Spider, he would never have grown into a basic combat power that at least reached the god level in less than a year, and after the blessing, he even reached the single universe level!

Therefore, Shadow Spider is not only a friend to him, but also a teacher!

At that time, Shadow Spider also arrived in that world by accident.

Then the two met directly.

Shadow Spider’s feelings were certainly not as deep as Bid, but Bid, as the first Spider-Man from another world he met, had a very special position in his heart.

Now, the old friends meet, and the joy is beyond words.

“By the way, Felicia…” Shadow Spider looked at Felicia Hardy who was still lying on the ground, a little worried.

Bid said: “Don’t worry, she just fainted. It’s just that her body is weaker and she won’t wake up as fast as you.”

“That’s good, that’s good, but why did you suddenly come to me, what happened?” Shadow Spider asked after he breathed a sigh of relief.
