Peter asked Zhan Yi to take photos of the shrine and the diary. He specially selected some passages whose handwriting was blurred and the identity of the writer could not be seen, but which could clearly show Warren's morbid psychology. Then, he began to edit a short message:
"I heard that there is a little girl who wants to be Spider-Man? Then let's play a game. This diary belongs to a person around you who has a morbid obsession with you. Can you guess who he is? What will you do after you find out?"
"You only have 24 hours. If you fail to solve this mystery within 24 hours, I guarantee that the next letter will be sent directly to George George Stacy. I wonder how he will react when he sees this?"
"Signature: Dark Knight."
Peter asked Sassy to send this message to all social media accounts and mobile phones of Gwen Stacy. Afterwards, he cleaned up the traces of the scene and restored the hidden compartment behind the closet to its original state, but took the diary away as physical evidence.
According to his observation, Warren only writes in the diary every night, which means that he will not find that the diary is missing tomorrow morning. This can buy Gwen Stacy a whole day without arousing Warren's alertness.
Peter climbed out of the window and left, swinging quickly through the streets of New York.
Gwen Stacy should still be sleeping soundly at this time, and she will receive these messages tomorrow morning. Peter wants to see how the newly promoted Spider-Woman will respond to this threat of blackmail and stalker. After all, as a hero, she will have to face these dark sides sooner or later.
Gwen Stacy Here:
At this time, Gwen Stacy·Stacy was in extreme panic.
She has always been very careful. She knew Peter·Parker, witnessed with her own eyes the trouble Peter caused to Fantastic Four after his identity was exposed, and also knew that Peter had to choose to flee in order to protect the people around him.
Therefore, she secretly vowed that if she wanted to become the hero she wanted to be, she would never let her true identity be exposed and never let her father be put in danger.
But she obviously thought of things too simply.
When she woke up this morning, she received a strange message. The content of the message was like a basin of ice water, which chilled her from head to toe, making her whole body feel like she had fallen into an ice cave.
Someone knows her secret.
Not only did the other party know, he was even teasing her, treating her life as a game. But she was powerless to do anything about it.
But what frightens her even more are the photos attached to the messages. That diary is filled with morbid obsessions about her. Is the person who sent these messages the pervert who wrote these words?
No... she wasn't sure. Why did the other party reveal his trump card? It didn't make sense. This diary obviously belonged to another person. In other words, she was now facing two enemies at the same time.
A stalker with a morbid obsession with her, and a mysterious man who holds her secret.
The entire day, Gwen Stacy was a little distracted, constantly checking possible suspects in her mind. She even forgot to say good morning to her father and went out without even eating.
When she came to the laboratory, she had already sketched out a rough profile of the two people in her mind. As the daughter of the police chief, her reasoning ability was obviously not weak.
The person who wrote the diary was a male, and his handwriting was very tough. And he obviously had serious psychological problems and had morbid fantasies about her. The most important thing was... he was very close to me, and he was a person who could come into contact with me every day.
As for the mysterious person who sent the message, he obviously knows his superpower and true identity. Gwen Stacy has always liked solving puzzles, and the other party obviously knows this, otherwise he would not provoke her in this way.
Is this a test? Maybe... but who is it? Why is she being tested? To test whether she is qualified to be a hero?
Gwen Stacy sat down in front of the experimental table and looked around at the other interns in the laboratory. Suddenly, her eyes were fixed on somewhere. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have seen the writing on the diary in the photo somewhere in this room.
This means... the pervert who wrote the diary is in this laboratory. She is in extreme danger.
Peter Here:
Peter checked out early in the morning and left the hotel without disturbing anyone. He had breakfast at a small restaurant in Queens, and then went to the university to prepare to observe his "successor".
He found Gwen Stacy outside the laboratory. She was studying a certain serum, but she couldn't concentrate. She looked around nervously from time to time, examining everyone in the laboratory. It seemed that she had received the information, and the effect was good.
Peter gradually became bored as she stared at the people around her suspiciously. She seemed to want to question the experimental assistant beside her several times, but in the end she held back and sat back in her seat.
She obviously suspected that the suspect was in the laboratory. Although she didn't know how she deduced it, this girl was indeed quite smart.
"Peter, Miles·Warren Professor's car drove into the school." Sassy reminded.
Peter turned around, and sure enough he saw the well-dressed professor walking into the teaching building. Peter leaned on the branch, getting ready to watch the show.
He watched Warren walk into the laboratory, greeting everyone warmly, and finally stopped beside Gwen Stacy to greet her. Gwen Stacy behaved quite naturally, but when Warren turned around and left, a trace of panic flashed across her face.
It seems that she has identified the first suspect.
Seeing Gwen Stacy frozen in place, Peter was a little curious about what she was thinking at this time. So, he carefully released a ray of mental power and connected with Gwen Stacy's thinking.
'Could it be him? No... Professor Warren has always been very good to me. He even rejected other better candidates and promoted me to be his personal assistant. He always invites me to have lunch together and always takes the initiative to stay and work overtime with me... I need evidence. Yes, I need his handwriting. I must have seen the handwriting in the diary in the laboratory, and I must confirm whether it is him.'
Peter saw Gwen Stacy take a deep breath, pick up a pen and a piece of white paper and stand up. He casually withdrew the spiritual link and watched Gwen Stacy walk towards Warren's desk.
Through the mouth shape, Peter saw that Gwen Stacy was requesting Warren to write a letter of recommendation in person for applying for a letter of recommendation for an academic project. It must be said that this girl's ability to perform on the spot was really good.
Faced with Gwen Stacy's request, Warren agreed almost without warning.
Gwen Stacy successfully received the letter of recommendation. When she returned to her seat and looked at the writing on the paper, the color on her face instantly faded. Peter linked her thoughts again.
'It's really him! The handwriting is exactly the same! Oh my God... I have to get out of here, I have to tell someone. Tell my dad? No, no... how should I explain? Do you want to say: Dad, someone sent me these photos of the diary yesterday, threatening to expose me as Spider-Woman if I don't find the murderer?!'
Peter couldn't help but chuckle. The girl was really at a loss. He cut off the spiritual link and knocked on his helmet. "Sassy, activate the voice changer and dial Gwen Stacy's phone number with a hidden number."
"Calling."
Peter watched Gwen Stacy startled by the ringtone of her cell phone in panic. She looked at the unknown number on the screen, hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed the answer button tremblingly.
"Hello... who are you?" she asked in a low voice.
"It took three hours to find out, so you can barely pass, Gwen Stacy." Peter joked in a low, processed voice, "However, it is indeed a smart idea to use recommendation letters to test handwriting."
Gwen Stacy's pupils suddenly shrank, he stood up suddenly and looked around. "Where are you?! How do you know this?!"
"I'm looking at you." Peter replied.
Gwen Stacy subconsciously looked out the window and glanced at the big tree where Peter was hiding, but due to the optical camouflage of the suit, she saw nothing.
"Don't waste your efforts, you can't find me. As for your father, don't worry, I've already taken care of it for you."
Peter had a thought in his mind, and used his mind power to quietly open the closed window in front of Gwen Stacy.
Gwen Stacy was so frightened that he took a step back. "You... how did you do that?!"
"It's simple, I'm a ghost."
Peter took out the diary that he had stolen last night from the storage bag and threw it in through the gap in the window. The diary drew an arc in the air and went straight to Gwen Stacy. Gwen Stacy showed the unique agility of Spider-Man and caught the diary steadily at the critical moment.
"It seems that your Spider-Sense has awakened well." Peter praised.
Gwen Stacy looked at the diary in his hand and was extremely shocked. "This... how is this in your hand?"
"This is not something you should worry about. Take it and tell your father that you accidentally found it on the Warren table. This is enough to convict him. I suggest you act quickly, lest the guy hears the news and runs away."
"Who the hell are you?!" Gwen Stacy's voice contained a hint of despair.
"Didn't I say it? My name is Dark Knight." After saying that, Peter hung up the phone, leaving Gwen Stacy alone in the messy laboratory.
The first level has been passed, and now comes the second level.
Peter jumped off the tree, released his invisibility, and quickly left the campus. After confirming that no one was around, he jumped onto the roof and flew over the city.
He first sneaked into Gwen Stacy's apartment. The house was empty and seemed a bit messy. After all, there were only two rough people living here, Gwen Stacy and her father.
Peter looked through some photos and asked the suit to scan the facial features of George George Stacy to generate a perfect holographic model.
Then, he went to the southern dock to find a suitable venue for the second test. He finally selected an abandoned warehouse, and Sassy found out within two minutes that it belonged to a gang leader named Richard·Sal Vaning.
Peter slipped into the warehouse and came to the office on the second floor. The view here is wide and overlooks the entire empty warehouse floor.
He moved the tables, chairs and cabinets in the office to create an open space in the center. Then, he opened all the windows and skylights, and placed two holographic projectors prepared in advance on the ground.
Peter started one of the projectors, and a lifelike holographic illusion of George George Stacy suddenly appeared. He was tied up, with a rag stuffed in his mouth, and he was kneeling on the ground in a panic. If he weren't a holographic technology expert like Tony·Stark, he wouldn't have been able to tell that this was a fake.
Then, he asked Sassy to generate a holographic illusion of Richard·Sal Waning based on photos on the Internet. Although it was not perfect, Gwen Stacy did not know this gangster, and her attention would only be focused on her father.
It took him three hours to arrange all this. Peter pulled a wooden box and sat down, crossed his legs, took out SA System: "Sassy, help me track the location of George Stacy."
"Okay, Peter. According to the police radio, he has just arrested a suspect suspected of stalking and is currently being escorted back to the police station."
Peter raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Warren had been arrested. This meant that George Stacy had just separated from Gwen Stacy.
"What about Gwen Stacy? Where is she?"
"According to the positioning, she is walking home."
"After going through so much, she probably took half a day off. This is normal. Can you still control her mobile phone?"
"Yes, sir. What do you need from me?"
"Cut off all external communications on her phone and keep only our temporary number." Peter gave the order, "Then send her a text message: 'The second test begins. If you still want to see him alive, come here immediately.' Attached is the location."
"Understood, is there anything else?"
"Send this photo too." Peter pointed to the holographic illusion of Director George being kidnapped on the ground. Then, he leaned back on his chair and waited quietly.
By the way, he also needs an outfit suitable for this role.
Gwen Stacy Here:
Gwen Stacy opened the door tiredly. She felt like she was about to collapse. She never thought that Professor Warren, who usually seemed amiable, was actually such a terrifying pervert behind his back.
She always prides herself on being smart, but she neglects the dangers around her. And who is that mysterious "Dark Knight"? Why does he know everything about her?
Just then, her phone vibrated.
Gwen Stacy took out her mobile phone and looked at the unknown number displayed on it, her brows furrowed. When she clicked on the text message, her whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
"The second test begins. If you still want to see him alive, come here immediately."
Attached below is a location and a photo. In the photo, her father was tied and kneeling on the ground. "No!" Gwen Stacy exclaimed and jumped up from the bed.
This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
Gwen Stacy trembled and dialed his father's phone. A blind tone came from the receiver. When the call was finally connected, Gwen Stacy shouted eagerly, "Dad?! Where are you?!"
"Gwen Stacy, when faced with a hostage crisis, never try to play with human life."
What came from the receiver was the low electronic synthesized sound from a few hours ago.
"Who the hell are you?! Why are you doing this?! If you dare to touch a hair on him--"
"--What can you do to me, Spider-Man? Call the police? Then you have to explain your true identity to the police first. At that time, you will only be arrested. As for Avengers? Do you think they will mind the business of a fledgling street kid?"
Gwen Stacy was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. While quickly packing up his equipment, he asked, "What do you want?!"
"I just want to chat with you. I'll give you twenty minutes to rush to the location and get rid of the guards outside. If you are late... then you may have to live with your uncle and aunt, just like Peter·Parker."
The call was immediately hung up, leaving Gwen Stacy alone and shivering.
Gwen Stacy memorized the location, threw away the phone, rushed into the bedroom, pulled open the ceiling panel, and took out her uniform. She quickly changed into clothes, jumped out of the window and jumped into the night.
Along the way, she increased her speed to the limit, leaping crazily between buildings.
Her heartbeat was so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest, and every beat seemed to be counting down her father's life.
However, New York's night sky seemed extremely long at this time. No matter how she accelerated, those docks seemed to always be the next block away.
Finally, after running wildly for ten minutes, she saw the outline of the dock. According to her positioning, she locked onto the abandoned warehouse. Gwen Stacy fell from the sky without hesitation, and landed steadily in the center of the warehouse with glass shards flying all over the sky.
"Who?!"
Several big men with guns guarding the warehouse immediately turned around and pointed their dark muzzles at her.
"Where is my dad?!" Gwen Stacy roared angrily, and rushed out like a cannonball. She instantly knocked away a big man in the front, and the huge impact brought him to another accomplice, and they both hit the wall and passed out.
"Get rid of this bitch!"
The remaining three gangsters shouted and fired at her wildly.
Gwen Stacy quickly jumped to the side and hid behind a stack of wooden boxes. Listening to the harsh crackling sound of bullets hitting the wooden boxes, she took a deep breath, quickly climbed up the wall with the help of the shadow, and quietly walked around to the back of the group of people.
She fell down like a ghost and hit the two gangsters with two heavy punches on the back of their necks, knocking them unconscious. Before the last gangster turned around, Gwen Stacy had already kicked him in the head with a volley, and the other gang fell to the ground without even a grunt.
"Pah, pah, pah."
A slow burst of applause sounded in the empty warehouse.
