Ninja Spider

Peter gently pushed open the door, carrying a stack of documents. He saw a middle-aged man in a white lab coat packing his things. He said, "Dr. Connors, are you leaving today?"

The middle-aged man had gray hair and looked somewhat haggard. More importantly, his right arm under his research suit was empty; clearly, he only had one arm.

"Oh, it's Peter? Yes, the research collaboration has ended, and I have to leave."

Peter gently placed the documents on Connors' desk, then said softly, "I'm sorry, if I were a little more capable, I might have been able to produce results before the research was finished..."

"You're already very impressive," Dr. Connors said gently. "You're still just a high school student, but you're much smarter and more hardworking than any graduate student I've ever met. If you'd like, I'd be happy to write you a letter of recommendation."

"Thank you, but I haven't decided which university to attend yet, and I still have some time before I start university."

Peter moved his lips and said, "So where do you plan to go next? The research on the serum drug is in its final stages, and it should be able to be completed as long as we have a decent laboratory."

Dr. Connors looked up and around his office and said, "There won't be anywhere else with such good conditions as Stark Tower. When they approached me, I agreed because I was attracted by the hardware of the lab here."

As he packed his things with his only remaining One Hand, he said, "But it's okay. Like you said, the experiment is at the final stage. If I just give it my all, I'll succeed."

"By then, I might not be the only one who can regain an arm. I know that many of them lost their arms and legs in the war, and the military's allowance is barely enough for them to make ends meet. Those prosthetics are too expensive. If there really is a regeneration serum, then they can be restored to normal people."

Peter hear the excitement in Dr. Connors's tone; Dr. Connors had left the deepest impression on him during his internship.

Peter wasn't originally an intern in this research group, but while running errands for their group leader, he happened to run into Dr. Connors, who had just been invited by the military to participate in the Stark Medical Research collaboration.

Peter was surprised when he first met him because Dr. Connors only had One Hand, but this did not hinder his scientific research at all. He had a genius brain and was considered a world leader in the research of bionics and serum technology.

Peter was deeply impressed because even able-bodied people might not be able to achieve such a high level of accomplishment, so he applied to be transferred to Dr. Connors' research group.

After all, he was bitten by a spider and that's how he mutated. He really wanted to figure out what caused this mutation.

Peter very smart and hardworking. Although he was a bit of a bookworm, he was the kind of kid that teachers liked the most. Dr. Connors quickly took a liking to this young intern.

From Connors, Peter learned that he was originally a military doctor and a veteran who lost One Hand on the battlefield, but this did not hinder his scientific research.

Instead, he embarked on a different path in medicine, beginning to study the role of serum in living organisms, and achieved considerable success.

While working as Dr. Connors' assistant, Peter also learned a great deal about biology. After acquiring the Spider Mutation, Peter's genius brain worked even faster. With two geniuses working together, the speed of their research naturally increased dramatically.

But just when it was almost finished, Stark's collaboration with the military ended, and the researchers were to leave Stark Tower.

Normally, even if a research project is terminated halfway through, the researchers would still receive their compensation. They would be eager to finish it as soon as possible so they could use the remaining time to go on vacation.

But Dr. Connors was different. He wasn't just there to coast along. He genuinely wanted to develop a serum technology that could regenerate severed limbs, to restore his own limbs, and to benefit disabled soldiers like himself who had lost limbs in the war.

So it was inevitable that he felt somewhat disappointed, but seeing Peter's reluctant expression, Dr. Connors said, "It's okay. After you go to university, I might still be teaching at a university in the East. You can come to my lab, and we can continue our research."

"Then it's settled!" Peter said happily.

Actually, Stark had tried to teach Peter about mechs and artificial intelligence before, but Peter wasn't very interested.

He wasn't an industrial fundamentalist like Stark; he preferred to explore the unknown mysteries of humanity, such as the secrets hidden in nature or the wonders of outer space.

During his studies with Dr. Connors, he learned about many of the mysteries of Coldblood animals such as spiders and lizards, which greatly interested him. He thought it would be nice to become a biologist or entomologist in the future.

If only we could invent a technology that could actually save lives, like Dr. Connors did.

Although Peter became Spider-Man and actively fought crime every night, as a good student, his life plan wasn't just about being a superhero.

He still wants to follow the conventional path, get into a good university, choose a major and direction he likes to conduct research, ideally obtain several doctoral degrees, and then stay at the university to teach or start his own Research Center.

Perhaps influenced by the Spider Mutation, Peter developed a special affinity for these Coldblood creatures during his research with Dr. Connors, which gradually solidified his future goals.

The motivation of having a clear goal largely overshadowed the sadness of parting with his teacher. After leaving Stark Tower, Peter was full of energy and ready to continue his Spider-Man career.

Peter learned a lot from his last fight with Bullseye. Peter discovered that although he had Silk -shooters that allowed him to swing between skyscrapers, he wasn't actually that fast. He was only a little faster than a car. More importantly, his swaggering actions meant that as soon as he made a move, all of New York would know that he was out fighting crime again.

By the time he reached the destination, the more experienced robbers had already vanished without a trace.

During the last operation, the One plan that received collective praise from Peter was his use of New York's extensive underground sewer system.

This is a brilliant tactic. New York's sewers are not a good place to live; the walls and floors are slippery, and it's dark and damp, making it difficult for ordinary people to move around freely.

But Peter is different; he's Spider-Man. He can stick to all kinds of walls and doesn't have to worry about slipping on the ground when he runs.

Moreover, the straight and wide underground sewer floor is like a runway tailor-made for Spider-Man- Man. There will be no traffic jams or pedestrians here, and when he sprints at full speed, he will be much faster than a car racer.

Most importantly, it was discreet enough that he moved underground and then came out from the nearest sewer opening, so no one would know where he came from or where he went.

This works best when dealing with experienced robbers.

There was a group of bank robbers before, they were all veterans, and there were three or four people watching them. Peter had fought with them before, but as soon as his figure appeared on the horizon, the group of people would disappear instantly.

Later, Peter caught them off guard with a sewer tactic. Before they could even load the bags of cash into their car, Spider-Man emerged from the nearest manhole cover at the street corner and smashed the engine of their getaway car to pieces with a single punch. The robbers were then easily captured.

Spider-Man then discovered the convenience of the sewers; to him, they were like a quick elevator that could take him anywhere in New York at any time.

Thus, Peter began to take an interest in the construction of the sewer system.

New York's sewer system was built very early and has undergone countless renovations, so there is almost no map that can completely depict the routes of all the sewers.

So Peter decided to personally go through all the sewers and draw up a route map.

Anyway, he wasn't busy with his studies, had plenty of time, and was fast, so he wasn't worried about expending much energy. He could cover half the city in a day.

That day, Peter was wandering around the sewers again, holding a map in his hand and marking the structure of the sewers with a marker.

He was drawing very intently and hadn't been paying attention to his footing when his Spider-Sense kicked in and he noticed that a brick under his feet was sticking up. If he continued not to watch where he was going, he might trip over it.

So Peter put down the map and decided to explore the area before looking at it.

At that moment, he noticed a slight difference in detail.

Generally speaking, most of New York's sewers are deserted, and the ground is covered with all sorts of slippery moss and limescale, but the moss here looks like it has been cleaned up by something.

Peter walked to the junction of the wall and floor tiles and found a tiny bit of white powder. He leaned closer and smelled it, discovering that it was an acidic substance, seemingly specifically designed to remove moss.

Who would have the time to come here and sweep the floor? Peter thought. Even he wouldn't want to stay in this dark and damp place if it weren't for fighting crime.

He continued along the trail and found signs of human activity at a long-abandoned sewer maintenance site.

It was easy to tell; there was a smell of burning fuel, indicating that someone had started a fire here. Peter glanced through the Iron Gate of the maintenance area, and his good eyesight allowed him to see signs that someone seemed to have lived inside.

Peter didn't force the door open because he knew it would likely be discovered, and he didn't have any lock-picking tools on hand. So Peter took out a map, marked the spot on it, and planned to come back in a few days with some tools to check it out.

Whoever he is, it's really strange that he's living in the sewers. If he's a good person who's forced to hide in the sewers, Peter is willing to help him. If he's a bad person, Peter can bring him to justice.
