Codename: Shadow

Neither the original body, known as Shadow Spider-Man, nor Peter, who was now passively receiving everything within his body, could quite believe it all.

So, Peter went to the Daily Bugle, wanting to find J. Jonah and get some answers face-to-face.

The result? He found "J. Jonah" shot dead in his office!

The scene of him appearing in the office with a handgun was also witnessed by the police officers who "happened" to be there!

After escaping the police pursuit, Peter went to the morgue and discovered the suspicious circumstances surrounding the body.

When he returned to his small room where he kept his files, trying to find some clues from the information Yuri had left behind, another Peter possessed him!

Peter opened his eyes, blinked, and found that the pain in his mind had completely disappeared.

The fusion of memory fragments made it difficult for him to distinguish for a moment whether he was Peter, who was Shadow Spider-Man, or Peter, who had just started high school.

Or perhaps, both?

However, this did confirm one thing for him: in this world, no, in a world, there were people like him!

People who were also bitten by a spider and gained extraordinary abilities!

It's just that compared to this Mr. Spider-Man codenamed Shadow, his life was much happier.

Although he never met his parents since childhood, he had an Aunt May who loved him dearly!

"Can I go back?"

Thinking this, Peter tried to communicate with the strange spider web in his mind.

Soon, he confirmed that he could indeed go back!

As long as he actively severed the glowing silk thread from the light spot, his consciousness would leave this world and return to his own world!

However, this made Peter less eager to return.

He wanted to see another world, another Spider-Man, and another adventure!

Peter's gaze fell on the photos in front of him.

These were detailed files on the Green Goblin's gang members:

[Sergei Kravinoff, also known as: Kraven the Hunter, Occupation: Beast Master, Nationality: Russia]

[Adrian Toomes, also known as: Vulture, Savage, Nationality: Unknown.]

[Dmitri Snegiryakov, also known as: Chameleon, Nationality: Russia, Kraven the Hunter's half-brother, possessing the ability to perfectly sculpt others' faces into those of their impersonated targets!]

"It's not surprising that the core members of the Green Goblin's gang were recruited from circuses and freak shows, and some have strange abilities." After merging with Shadow Spider-Man's abilities, Peter found that his logical reasoning skills had also greatly improved.

"The dead J. Jonah is a fake, so the real one must have been captured by the Green Goblin!"

"Why did they capture J. Jonah?"

"Yuri!"

"Because before he died, he wanted to expose the Green Goblin's criminal evidence through J. Jonah, but the Green Goblin found out about it. The Daily Bugle must have an informant for the Green Goblin there! Subsequently, the Green Goblin sent people to capture J. Jonah and had Chameleon disguise himself as J. Jonah. However, he was shot dead!"

"Who did it?"

"It should be Felicia Hardy!"

"She said she personally witnessed Thomson shoot Yuri, which is why she took the evidence Yuri collected in the chaos. And she had a romantic relationship with Yuri, so avenging Yuri would be a natural course of action."

"It's just that there are too many coincidences in this world. The one who shot Yuri was Chameleon disguised as Thomson, and they didn't expect Felicia to be so decisive, so Chameleon died."

"But this way, Felicia must also be in danger, because since they captured J. Jonah, who was contacted by Yuri, they definitely won't let go of Felicia, who is closer to him!"

"Wait, that's not right, there's one more person who is also their target!"

"That's me, Peter Parker!"

"Because before Yuri's accident, I was his best photography partner, and I even had a conflict with the Green Goblin at Felicia's bar!"

"They will definitely come to my house to find me... Oh no, Aunt May!"

Peter stood up abruptly.

Although this Aunt May was not his Aunt May, having merged with some of Shadow Spider-Man's memory fragments, he still felt a deep affection for Aunt May.

Thinking that Aunt May might be in danger because of him, he couldn't sit still.

Parker Residence.

Knock, knock, knock.

Aunt May stood in front of the room, knocking on the door.

"Peter, are you home?"

After waiting for a while with no response from inside, Aunt May pushed the door open and walked in.

She thought she had just heard some movement from the room and was coming in to check.

Whoosh—

A gust of wind blew in.

Aunt May noticed that the room's window was open.

She let out a sigh of relief, complaining slightly, "This child, how many times have I told him to close the window properly when he goes out? Honestly."

As she spoke, she walked towards the window.

Before she had taken two steps, a huge black shadow suddenly lunged down from behind her.

Sensing the movement, Aunt May instinctively turned around, "Peter?"

"It's Toomes!" The black shadow tackled Aunt May to the ground, laughing sinisterly.

Only then did Aunt May realize this was someone she didn't recognize at all.

He was wearing a loose black robe, his head was bald, and his mouth was full of sharp fangs, making him look not quite human.

Even more terrifying were his eyes, ferocious and horrifying. When he looked at her, it was as if he wasn't looking at a person, but more like looking at food?

The Vulture sized up Aunt May's body, sneering, "Hiss hiss hiss—a bag of old bones. Your husband had more meat. And it was tastier, hiss hiss—"

A chill ran down Aunt May's spine, and her eyes widened in disbelief at his words.

More meat? Tastier?

What did he mean?

A terrible thought entered her mind.

Could it be that he wasn't torn apart by wild dogs, but by this person in front of her...?

"Let him go, Toomes!" A figure in a black robe appeared in the doorway, breaking the atmosphere in the room.

The Vulture, with one hand on Aunt May's throat, turned his head. "S-Spider-Man, you can move, right? With that strange web? But how fast can you move, S-Spider-Man? Fast enough to stop me from tearing tearing tearing her neck?"

"No..." Peter faltered for a moment; he was, after all, just a teenager.

But at this moment, the part of him that was Shadow Spider-Man took over.

He somewhat uncontrollably pulled a revolver from the pocket of his black trench coat and pointed it at the Vulture's head.

"I can!"

Bang!

Amidst the decisive sound, a gunshot rang out.

The revolver spun once automatically. The recoil was almost negligible due to Spider-Man's formidable physical condition. The bullet accurately hit the Vulture's forehead, piercing directly into his head.

The immense kinetic energy instantly turned the Vulture's brain into mush, causing him to fall down!
