Cthulhu

The morning sun shone down, and Al woke up in the dazzling sunlight.

Al slowly got up, opened the window, and looked at the still closed window opposite.

I'm wondering why I haven't seen Kathy recently.

Al didn't think much about it.

He was going to continue looking for Peter today. When he came back last night, he used his limited energy to check the Book of Nameless.

But I don’t know if the level of the cold spider is too low, and there is no information in the book.

However, before Al could go to Peter, Peter's home phone number came directly.

"Al, Al, come here quickly, something happened." Peter's voice was alarmed, even a little frightened.

Al didn't say much, hung up the phone and rode out on his car.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at Peter's home.

The door to Peter's house was closed, and the windows and curtains were closed tightly, leaving no gaps.

There was something strange in the silence.

Al gently knocked on the door, and a slightly nervous voice sounded: "Who?"

"It's me, Al."

Just after he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, stretched out a hand and pulled Al directly in, startling Al.

Peter in the house unusually wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, covering his entire face tightly.

"Al, look at my face." Peter said with a wry smile.

After saying that, he took off his mask and hat.

A centimeter-long beard suddenly grew out of Peter's originally fair face, and his originally shiny hair also looked a little gray. He looked as if he had aged ten years.

"You...what's wrong with you? Why do you look ten years older?" Al said in shock.

“I’m not the most obvious, Aunt May and Uncle Ben, they’ve aged so much all of a sudden.

Al, please help me think of a solution. If something like this happens, I can only rely on you. "Peter didn't take Al to see his uncle and aunt.

But Peter's words made Al understand the seriousness of the matter.

The two of them carefully came to the living room and quietly took a look at Aunt May and Uncle Ben in the room from outside the door.

The two men, who are in their 50s and [-]s, now have wrinkled faces, like an old couple in their [-]s.

The two of them held their hands tightly together, silently resisting their aging bodies.

Seeing this, Al didn't hesitate and walked directly to Peter's room.

His first suspicion was the Cold Spider. There was only such a shadow creature in Peter's home. Although it was in a different world, this world was not completely incommunicable.

If there is a problem, the most likely cause is this cold spider.

When the two came to Peter's room, Al immediately looked at the corner of the roof.

"Hey, why is there a spider here?" Peter was a little surprised. Although his room was messy, it was just a mess of things and the hygiene was very good. How could there be such a creature as a spider?

The spider I saw yesterday was still lying in the corner.

There was no change, but Al had the feeling that this spider, like Peter and the others, had an air of twilight about it, as if it was much older.

If he hadn't seen this spider yesterday, Al might not have noticed this subtle change.

Because shadow creatures have no concept of aging, they even have a very vague concept of life and death, let alone age.

Al wondered why this spider, like Peter's family, showed such an aging state.

Isn't it because of this cold spider? It's because of this place

Al, who was immersed in thinking, didn't notice at all that Peter behind him also saw the spider. The two had broken the interface between illusion and reality.

"Hey, why is there a spider in my room? I've obviously cleaned it before." Peter looked at the spider in the corner in surprise.

Looking left and right, looking for something, ready to poke out this cobweb.

Al was immersed in his thoughts and didn't pay attention at all.

Everything that happened in front of him gave him an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.

Ever since he regained his memory, he felt that strange events of one kind or another had been happening around him.

weird events

The birth of the snake in the museum

Peter's family grows old inexplicably

A flash of light exploded in Al's mind, and memories of the past were awakened.

He vaguely remembered that there was such a kind of sacrifice, which was called mortal sacrifice.

The four sufferings of life are birth, old age, illness and death, and mortal sacrifice

Eugene is worshiping an evil god

Al didn't know much about this kind of sacrifice, but he only vaguely remembered that this kind of evil sacrifice would lead people to show the four states of life, old age, illness, and death.

This will attract the evil god's attention.

That's right, it's just the evil god's gaze, just like when humans suddenly see a few ants circling on the ground, they find it interesting, and they stop unconsciously.

Tight just for the sake of this lingering glance, the unfolding sacrifice

Eugene is a cultist

Al was a little frightened and thought carefully.

It is impossible for Eugene to know these things, or in other words, it is impossible for the real Eugene to know how to perform this ceremony.

If you want to perform this kind of sacrifice, you must have a clear understanding of the evil god, but once a person understands an evil god too deeply, he runs the risk of being transformed.

If the transformation is successful, he becomes a servant of the evil god and then becomes a shadow creature. If the transformation fails, he becomes a true madman.

There is a paradox here.

Understand the evil god, become a servant of the evil god, a shadow creature, and break away from the real world.

Without understanding the evil god, it is impossible to obtain this forbidden knowledge, let alone carry out such a sacrifice.

The only answer is that the Eugene in front of him is not himself, and he may have been replaced by another existence.

There are many creatures that borrow the appearance of other races, such as Yithians, Skrulls, etc. Many races have the ability to change their appearance.

But no matter who Eugene is now, they all have the same trait, and that is danger.

The most important question now is how to change the aging state of Peter's family.

Al didn't know much about mortal sacrifice.

I don’t know how to undo this sacrifice.

But since the problem cannot be solved, then it is also a way to solve the problem.

How to deal with Eugene

Al felt a little numb. No matter what kind of person Al thought he was, he was not easy to mess with.

He was not a trouble-loving person, but on the other side of the scale was Peter and his family.

Then, putting aside unnecessary thoughts, the conclusion is obvious, how to defeat an unknown and powerful enemy.

"what"

Peter screamed in pain, awakening the thoughtful Al.

Peter was seen covering his hands and squatting on the ground, with a fallen long pole next to him.

There is a gray-white spider on the top of the long pole. The spider is squeezed by the long pole, and green mucus has emerged, which is very disgusting.

"Peter, what's wrong with you?" Al had a premonition in his heart.

"I was bitten by this spider. I saw a spider web on the roof and I was cleaning it away. Unexpectedly, as soon as I touched the spider web, two spiders fell down and bit me, and then they were killed by me."

Peter explained, covering his red hands.

Al was a little speechless, he didn't expect Peter to be bitten by a spider in this situation.

He took Peter to search for spiders for a day and tried various methods, but could not find any clues about spiders.

Unexpectedly, Peter was bitten by a cold spider the next day when he returned home.

The evil god's servants also contain the evil god's genes, which are extremely contagious.

The Cold Spider's genes should be starting to eat away at Peter.

But that's okay, I have a little more confidence in dealing with Eugene.

Peter fell to the ground and clutched his arm in pain. The place bitten by the spider became increasingly red, and his entire hand swelled up quickly like a balloon.

Looking at Al standing next to him, Peter shouted in pain: "Al, help me, medicine, I have medicine at home, ambulance, please call an ambulance for me."

Looking at Peter who was becoming more and more painful, Al felt something was wrong in his heart.

Is Spider-Man's genetic modification so painful?

Can Peter really survive on his own?

He is just a child...

Al quickly helped Peter's upper body, and Peter could no longer control his facial features.

His eyes were distracted, and white foam was flowing out from the corners of his mouth.

His hands began to wave randomly and slowly towards the sky, as if they were driving away non-existent flies.

Inaudible murmurs flowed from Peter's mouth, like murmurs in sleep, vague and indistinct.

The pulse also began to weaken gradually.

All of this was telling Al the fact that Peter was going to die, and he was going to be bitten to death by this spider.

The best result is to transform into a shadow creature.

Al suddenly panicked. He didn't care what happened to Spider-Man in the future. He only cared about his friend Peter, who would die soon.

how so

how so

Impossible. What went wrong?

There is no artificial arrangement in all of this, everything is accidental. Why can't Peter successfully integrate spider genes like in the Marvel world?

Looking at Peter whose breath was gradually weakening, Al knew that he could no longer hesitate and must find a solution immediately.
