Chapter 118: Spiders and Bats (3)

In the Parker house, in Peter's room, Peter tightly grabbed the doorframe and said, "Let go of me! This is my body! I can do whatever I want with it! I'm going out to meet Gwen." Then he looked at his watch and said, "Come on! It's already 10 o'clock. We're supposed to meet by the river at 10:30. We still have time, I can't stand her up. She had a big danger yesterday and she must need some comfort."

"But you haven't even finished a decent battle plan!! You've been dawdling here for three hours!! You've only finished one-third of it!! You have to finish it before you can go play!!"

"I'm not crazy! Even the teachers at school wouldn't require anyone to do homework for three hours! I'm going out now!" Peter relaxed his grip on his arm for a moment, then tightened it again, as if he was tugging against himself. Venom roared, "You're 16 years old already! Only two more years until you're 18! The 18-year-old humans I've seen are much harderworking and disciplined than you!"

"You're lying! My seniors are just like me. We're normal! There's no high school student in this world who stays in their room doing homework! Let me go out! I'm really going to be late!"

20 minutes later, Peter landed on a rooftop and warned Venom in his mind, "Later, I'm going on a date with Gwen, and you're not allowed to eavesdrop."

"Have you ever held her hand?" Venom said.

"Of course not, we've definitely held hands..." Peter's face turned a little red, and he said, "So what? We've only been in a relationship for a few months, and we haven't even been on more than 100 dates."

After a while, at a coffee shop by the river, Gwen had already ordered two cups of coffee. When she saw Peter, she was very happy. Peter also ran over excitedly and said, "Sorry, I'm a little late today, there was some traffic on the road..."

"It's okay, I came too early. I've already ordered coffee, let's go sit over there."

Peter just took the coffee cup when he suddenly felt his body out of control, and then he opened his arms and hugged Gwen. Gwen was surprised, and Peter grinned and let go, then said, "Oh, sorry! I... I just..." He saw tears suddenly shimmering in Gwen's eyes and she said, "Did you see the newspaper? Did you see what happened on the street next to school yesterday?"

Peter was there at the scene, so of course he knew. Then he said, "Uh... yeah, I saw. I think I saw you there too." Before Peter could say anything else, Gwen's eyes turned red and she said, "You don't know how dangerous it was yesterday. I watched a young police officer sacrifice himself. My goodness, I can't accept it..."

"Hug her," Venom said in Peter's mind.

"You're crossing the line. How can you control me..." Gwen protested.

"Trust me, hug her," Peter said.

Peter felt his body out of control again, and he held Gwen tightly. Gwen also hugged him and started crying. In a moment, she was shaking all over, and Peter had to pat her back.

After a while, Gwen calmed down. She wiped her tears with a napkin and said, "I'm really sorry. I couldn't control myself. But..." she choked up and said, "My dad is under a lot of pressure. I'm even afraid to show my fear, for fear of worrying him. If he loses his focus at work, he might be the one sacrificed."

Looking at Gwen's sad and worried face, Peter also felt uneasy. He could hardly speak, and his arm rose uncontrollably again. Then he held Gwen's hand that was holding the coffee cup. Venom said in Peter's mind, "Aren't you going to say something?"

"What should I say? This is too sudden..." Peter said, feeling hesitant.

"You're the most cowardly human I've ever seen," Venom replied.

Finally, Peter mustered up the courage and looked into Gwen's eyes, saying, "Don't worry, actually, I've always been with you..."

After he finished speaking, he withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, and then picked up his coffee cup and took a sip of coffee. Gwen looked at his slightly red complexion and suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "You're really different today."

Peter complained to himself, "It's all because of you, Gwen. You must think I'm unreasonable..."

Then he heard Gwen say, "But I actually think it's not bad. You used to be a little too introverted, I didn't expect you to be so proactive." Peter's face turned even redder, and he stammered, "It's...it's nothing, it's what I should do..."

"You really are hopeless," Venom's voice rang in his mind again. Gwen giggled and almost choked on her coffee. She seemed to love seeing Peter's shy and embarrassed expression. "Let's go to the movies later. We'll go to our usual theater. I have a coupon for a large bucket of cheese balls. We can use it," she said.

After the two left the coffee shop, Peter said to Gwen, "Sorry, wait for me. I'm going to the convenience store."

He ran into the nearest convenience store, went to the shelf, picked up a bag of chocolate balls, and then paid for them. Gwen saw him walking out of the store and looked at the bag of chocolate balls in Peter's hand, "Why did you suddenly buy this? I don't remember you liking chocolate?"

Peter opened the package, took out one, and handed it to Gwen. He shrugged and said, "I just thought that eating sweets would make me feel a little better." Gwen was very happy.

She put her hand on Peter's shoulder and said, "It seems like you've really changed a lot. My friends used to say that you didn't know how to please girls at all, but now it seems like you're not bad." Peter blushed again and took out one and unwrapped it, putting it in his mouth.

"Oh, crap, why does this taste so bad?" Venom's voice rang out.

"Why did you make me buy it then?" Peter chewed and said, "I thought it was alright, isn't chocolate supposed to taste like this?"

"You naive kid, this kind of chocolate is surprisingly bad, as expected, cheap things are never good." Venom said.

When they got to the cinema, Peter took a cheese balls bucket from the attendant that was almost half his height. Gwen apologized, saying, "I didn't expect it to be this big when I bought it, it didn't look like this in the picture..."

Peter struggled to hold the large bucket and said, "It's okay, you know I've been eating a lot more lately, I think we should be able to finish it by the time the movie starts." The two of them chose a middle position towards the back row and sat down. Peter wedged the cheese balls bucket between the armrest and the chair in front of him, right in the middle of the two of them, within easy reach.

After the movie started, they ate cheese balls and drank cola while quietly discussing the movie plot.

Gwen had just reached out to grab some cheese balls when she saw a black tentacle quickly snatch away seven or eight cheese balls from the bucket. She rubbed her eyes and exclaimed, "What was that?"

"What?" Peter turned to look at her, but when Gwen looked again, the tentacle had disappeared. Due to the large quantity of cheese balls, it was hard to tell if any were missing. Gwen blinked and said, "Never mind, maybe I just had a hallucination."

Then Peter heard Venom complaining in his mind, "These aren't tasty either, they have a cheap taste of inferior processed food."

"Why are you so picky?" Peter said, "Aren't they delicious?" Saying that, he grabbed five or six cheese balls and stuffed them into his mouth. By the time the movie ended, Gwen looked at the empty bucket and opened her mouth to say, "I know you've been able to eat a lot more lately, but this is just exaggerating, it's a cheese balls portion for ten people!"

In Peter's mind, Venom burped and said, "Although they're not very tasty, they're quite filling."

After sending Gwen home, Venom saw that Peter still planned to hang around outside and said, "Can you go back and finish that damn combat plan?"

"Oh my God, spare me! I don't need any combat plan!" Peter crouched on a rooftop, took out the Spider-Man suit from his backpack, put it on, and said, "We'll just wear this and go take down that stronghold. It's that simple."

"You'll get beaten up badly," Venom said.

Half an hour later, Peter was running for his life in an alley, enveloped in a black mist that slowed his movements. Suddenly, a pair of sharp claws slashed at his back, but a mass of black slime blocked the attack. Peter turned around and threw a punch, but the opponent disappeared instantly with a teleport.

Before he could turn back, another vampire had teleported in front of him and swiped at him with its claw. Peter dodged and lowered his head, but another bat flew at him from above.

"Damn it, I fell for it. They've been waiting for me all along," Peter looked around, and there were at least four or five high-level vampires surrounding him. These opponents were perfectly suited to restrain Peter, despite his great strength and spider sense. He had no effective countermeasure against their magic. Although his punches were powerful, they were useless if he couldn't hit his targets. Although he was fast, he couldn't grow wings. If the opponent transformed into a bat and flew high, he couldn't catch up in a short time.

In contrast, these vampires took turns attacking, with one focusing on the main assault, and the others harassing him from the sides, slowing down Peter's movements.

"Listen, if you can't solve this problem within 10 minutes, I'll take action," Venom said.

"Take action? Can you still fight? Why can't you do it now? Can't you just help me out?" Peter rolled on the ground to dodge another attack, shouting loudly, "And this is the consequence of not making a combat plan!!! Also, do you think I don't want to? Do you know how much trouble I'll cause?"

As they were speaking, it seemed that the several high-level vampires didn't intend to continue harassing Peter like this. They had forced him into a dead end and launched a full-scale attack on him. Soon, several marks had been left on Peter's combat suit, and with a few more hits, it would probably break.

Venom said, "Okay, now clear your mind. I'm going to take action."

Just then, gunshots rang out. One of the high-level vampires let out a scream and emitted a few strands of black cigarette smoke. A black man wearing a leather jacket and eye mask flipped over the wall of the alley.

He swung his blade at another vampire's shoulder, and black cigarette smoke rose from the point of contact. The vampire tried to turn into a bat to escape, but another strike severed its wings. It fell to the ground and thrashed for a couple of times before being impaled by a silver wedge.

The person who took action was called Blade, a half-vampire and a vampire hunter. He had been tracking this group of high-level vampires for several months. Today, they had gathered together, and he had taken them all down in one fell swoop. But while he was busy fighting the vampires, he didn't notice the person surrounded by them. When he finally came to his senses, he saw black slime bursting forth from the crowd and a figure soaring into the air.

Amidst a vast quantity of black slime, a gigantic monster with double wings on its back appeared in mid-air. A bat emblem was visible on its chest.

Blade looked up and saw a colossal black bat with a wingspan of over ten meters, almost blocking out the sky, hovering over New York.
