Chapter 2653 Hollywood Rhapsody (XI)
Schiller and Peter walked over at almost the same time. Peter was a little ahead, but there was Stark in front of Peter, while there was nothing in front of Schiller. His vision was quite wide, allowing him to see the current state of the Sandman very clearly.
The reason why Schiller was interested in the sandman was that he felt that the structure of the sandman was a bit similar to the gray fog. Although the gray fog factor was much more advanced than sand, it could not be denied that the two were very similar in form.
Precisely because sand is much more intuitive than gray fog, Schiller was able to see the life structure of this type of creature more clearly. Schiller discovered that the sand was moving in a very aesthetic rhythm, some of it revolving, some of it autobiographical, and even the shape of primitive organs could be seen from it.
Schiller discovered that the movement of the sand seemed to indicate the function of this part, and some of the sand moved more violently than the others, which seemed to be organs such as human lungs or heart.
Schiller was very interested in this, so he involuntarily took two steps forward, wanting to see it more clearly. As a result, the sandstorm that was originally controlled by Iron Man and Captain America suddenly broke out.
call! !
A ball of sand suddenly rushed towards them, or to be more precise, towards Peter. However, Peter had Stark, a lump of iron, blocking his way, so he was safe. However, Schiller had nothing in front of him, and a gust of wind carrying sand blew over, and his glasses were blown away in an instant.
Fortunately, Iron Man subdued the Sandman immediately. Schiller rubbed his eyes that were almost blinded by the sand. He could have turned into gray mist at that moment, but after all, there was a camera filming, so he could only let his glasses move away from him like an ordinary person.
Schiller was not actually nearsighted at all. He wore glasses just to hide his eyes. As an autistic person, Schiller did not like to look people in the eye when he was young. Wearing glasses meant that no one could tell that he was avoiding people's gaze.
Of course, he can now look people in the eye with ease, but wearing glasses has become a habit for him, and he still feels a little uncomfortable without them.
However, Peter's shouting attracted Schiller's attention. He said, "Sandman's weakness is water. Once he encounters water, his movements will become very slow, or even completely unable to move, and he can only return to human form."
"Really?" Stark was a little unconvinced. The answer was so simple?
Then he turned his head left and right, as if trying to find something to try, and the three of them looked at Schiller's hand.
Schiller was still holding the cup of juice, and because it was a straw cup with a lid, the cup was not dirty and the juice was drinkable.
Schiller looked down at the juice in his hand, then looked at them and said, "What do you want to do? If you want to drink, go buy it yourself..."
Finally, Schiller sighed helplessly and handed the juice in his hand to Peter. Peter opened the cup and poured it at the sandman. A large piece of sand solidified when it was splashed.
Schiller saw that Peter aimed at the part of sand that was moving most violently. After this part of sand solidified, the movement of all other sand slowed down, and finally slowly condensed into a human shape.
"Beck? Baker!!!"
Someone shouted Sandman's name, but it was not Peter. Several people looked in the direction of the voice and found a black figure peeking around the corner of the street.
"Miles?" Peter called out the boy's name in surprise, and Iron Man had already flown over and pulled him out.
Miles, who was being held by the collar, looked very frustrated, but he kept trying to struggle. Steve slapped Stark's hand away, looked at Miles and said, "What's wrong with you, boy? Do you know this guy?"
Miles didn't say anything, but he looked up at Peter, who walked up and said, "What's going on? Why are you and Beck here?"
"I came after him." Miles still looked unlucky. He said, "You asked me to watch Robbins, but I couldn't. He's invisible. How could I catch him?"
"What about Beck?"
"I discovered him by accident..."
Miles pursed his lips. Schiller saw that his lips were a little chapped and looked like he hadn't drunk water for a long time, so he returned to the car and got him a bottle of water. Miles said cautiously, "Thank you."
Then he drank a whole bottle of water very boldly, let out a long sigh and said, "Oh my God, I thought I was going to die, luckily nothing serious happened."
"What's going on?" Stark was losing his patience. If Steve hadn't stopped him, he would have definitely taught this kid a lesson.
“Robbins trapped him,” Myers said. “I don’t know how it worked, but he built a big swimming pool and this ball of sand was stuck at the bottom. It couldn’t move.”
"You asked me to look after Robbins. I couldn't get into the house, so I had to wander around. But Robbins hasn't come back for a long time. I was worried that I had lost him, so I wanted to go in and take a look."
"It was an abandoned villa. When I entered, I saw the big swimming pool. I felt a little strange at the time because I had worked as a swimming pool cleaner for others. In uninhabited villas, the swimming pools usually had no water, and if there was water, it would be very dirty..."
"Get to the point!" Stark said.
“That’s the point.” Miles raised his voice, but then quickly shrank his neck and said, “I thought something was wrong with the pool, so I looked down, and I saw a face on the sand at the bottom of the pool.”
"I was so scared that I slipped and fell into the pool. I can swim and the pool isn't deep, so I could have swum out, but I felt something grab my ankle and I choked on water several times."
"Just when I was about to drown, I felt something lifting me up. I climbed to the edge of the pool and when I got close to the water, I heard someone shouting for help."
"I felt something was wrong, the sand seemed to have life, so I found the drain valve of the swimming pool and drained all the water. Then I saw that the sand really started to move, and it also talked to me."
"He said he was kidnapped here and had been trapped under the swimming pool. He asked me if I could take him somewhere else to dry out."
"I thought he might have saved me in the pool, so I vacuumed him up and spread him on the lawn to dry. But after he dried, he started yelling crazily about killing Spider-Man..."
"Wait," Peter interrupted. "What does this have to do with Spider-Man?"
"He said Spider-Man was the one who kidnapped him here."
Peter opened his mouth and said, "And then?"
"He said he knew Spider-Man's secret and he was going to find him and kill him. I didn't know how to stop him, so I just followed him."
"How did you find yourself here?"
"I don't know either," Miles said. "He was just looking for it in New York at first, but one day he suddenly went crazy and dragged me here. I felt like I hadn't had any water for almost three days and I almost died of thirst."
Several people present felt that something was wrong.
First of all, it is impossible for Spider-Man to kidnap Sandman. Even if Peter and Beck have some conflicts at work, Spider-Man would not do such a thing, and kidnapping him would not bring any benefits.
Considering what they had found out before, it was Robbins who kidnapped Baker. So it is possible that Robbins disguised himself as Spider-Man and made Baker think that Spider-Man kidnapped him.
But there is still a problem. Spider-Man's identity is not public, which means that basically no one knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. But now that Baker has tracked him here, it proves that he knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
The fact that he would go so far as to shout that he wanted to kill Spider-Man was not only because he was emotionally unstable, but it was also because he learned that Peter had first made things difficult for him at work and then kidnapped him, which completely infuriated Beck and made him choose to take extreme measures.
The only question is, how did Robbins know Spider-Man was Peter Parker?
The people present all thought of this question at the first time. In fact, there are quite a few people who know Spider-Man’s true identity. The group of Spider-Men from other universes alone can be said to be a huge crowd.
But people who know Spider-Man's identity would never reveal his identity, no matter if they are members of the Avengers, Spider-Men in the multiverse, or agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., they would never reveal Spider-Man's true identity to others, let alone to a minor character like Robin. So where did this news come from?
Schiller quickly eliminated the wrong answers in his mind, and suddenly he had some ideas alight, but he knew there was no need to say them in front of the camera, and the segment about Spider-Man would also be cut today, so they could discuss it in private.
But unexpectedly, Baker woke up at this time and stared at Peter Parker among the few people.
"Spider-Man!! You damn hypocrite!! I'm going to kill you!!!"
Baker's emotions exploded violently again, and Steve looked at the expression on Schiller's face, which seemed to be asking whether he should knock him out first.
Although Schiller didn't want to work at all while on vacation, considering Peter, he decided to appease Baker first and figure out what was going on.
He was about to speak when he heard Peter say, "I don't know what's wrong with you, but I'm not Spider-Man. I think you've got the wrong person."
Hearing this, Stark and Steve looked at Peter in surprise. In their impression, Peter was a man who never lied. Although he was led by Schiller to not tell the whole truth sometimes, he always adhered to the principle of avoiding lying if possible.
Especially on the issue of identity, even though there were cameras filming it, they also knew that such important things would definitely be edited out, so there was no need for Peter to deny it.
Schiller suddenly understood something. Peter had talked to him about the balance between superhero career and family before. Peter has probably made his choice now, so he said this with a clear conscience. He no longer wanted to be Spider-Man.
Baker obviously did not completely fail to understand Peter's character. After all, they had been colleagues for a while and they met each other every day. He knew that this favored child of heaven had his own pride. He disdains and is not good at lying, and it is even more impossible for him to lie in such a serious and confident manner.
This time Baker can't do it.
This is the advantage of being an honest person, Schiller thought. If you have been telling the truth all your life, then no matter how outrageous this one lie is, most people will still choose to believe it.
"You've got the wrong person." Peter continued in that very confident tone, "I think you might have been deceived. After all, I said before that you're not very smart. Do you know that if you make such a fuss now, you might lose your job?"
After Baker's arrogance was suppressed, he slowly came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat. He always felt that something was wrong with him recently.
"Doctor, I think he might have been hypnotized." Peter looked at Schiller and said, "Can you please treat him?"
Looking at the camera not far away, Schiller still couldn't say something like "I'm on vacation", so he could only say: "Okay, I'll try my best."
