Chapter 62 The White Whale 01
Three years later.
new York.
A red figure swung in a perfect parabola over Queens, and then lightly landed on the ground floor of a tall building.
Peter tore off his uniform hood, sat on the edge of the building, put the hood on his knees, and looked up at the urban area under his feet.
Precisely planned roads divide Queens into countless angular geometric bodies, with red and brown roofs neatly arranged.In the streets, there are occasional green plants dotted with houses, and small pedestrians are like ants walking on regular geometric lines.
His gaze continued to extend and landed on the Mystery Church not far away.
It was a church that had only recently been erected in Queens.
Peter doubted whether the church had been approved for establishment, but since Gotham, hundreds of miles away, declared the Church of the Secret Star to be legal and has since become the safest city in the world, many areas have accepted the Church of the Secret Star by default. The legal existence of the church, even if there is no clear policy to support the Church of the Secret Star, it will turn a blind eye to the actions of the church.
And the Mysterious Star Church never disappoints, they just quietly maintain their beliefs, never wantonly expand, nor blindly preach.
But even so, there are still a steady stream of believers all over the world, and many believers even regard Gotham as a holy place, and go to worship once in a while-although they can't even find the location of the legendary main church.
As a result, Gotham's originally sluggish tourism industry suddenly recovered and became the hottest resort on the east coast. Even the stock price of Wayne Group skyrocketed, and the market value directly left Stark Industries behind.
It is estimated that the mouth of the Gotham City government who collects money is crooked.
Although Peter was a pure materialist, he did not deny the existence of gods, nor did he reject the church.
Of course not close.
However, he didn't come here today to see the roof of the church.
Peter carefully took out a pair of earphones and stuffed them into his ears.
He squinted his eyes, leaned back slightly, propped his hands on the roof, and sat with his legs hanging in the air.The wind blowing from above brushed his young cheeks, raising the somewhat messy chestnut-colored hair on his forehead, but it was extraordinarily refreshing and comfortable in this hot summer day, just like drinking a glass of cold sparkling water.
Melodious music came from his not-so-high-quality cheap headphones.
At first, there was a series of crisp and pleasant sounds similar to the sound of wind chimes, and then there was a faint sound of bubbles, as if suddenly sinking into the deep sea, and the low and elegant music of the cello sounded, almost sinking his whole body.
Soon, a female voice sounded.
It was difficult for Peter to describe such a voice in words.
Her voice was gentle and bright, like a ray of light suddenly shining into the deep sea, slightly lazily tired.It is also like a clear stream flowing through a deep valley, so clean that there is no trace of impurities, as if it is the purest and most beautiful musical instrument in the world.
She sang quietly along with the main theme, without lyrics, just sang calmly and gently.The melody is melodious and quiet, which slows down the breath and heartbeat of the listener, as if the world has fallen into a deep sleep, and everything is quiet and slowed down.
Peter opened his eyes, and he seemed to see the boundless coral ocean in a trance. The light-colored aquatic plants swayed gently on the bottom of the sea, and all the sounds were so far away from him, but so within reach.
A song will soon end.
Peter took off the earphones, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, with a satisfied expression on his face.
The name of this song is called "The Fourth Song Without Words".
The singer who sang was named Alice Millia—even the pronunciation of her name was so soft and lingering.
She made her debut on a talent show called Twisted Waist Voice half a year ago. The first time she gave her voice, all the judges were shocked, and countless netizens who voted for her pressed the voting button.
She not only has a beautiful appearance, a graceful figure, a pair of beautiful lake blue eyes that can talk, and a beautiful singing voice, but also has been evaluated by countless industry leaders as "the miracle of the human body", "the gift of nature" and "the best gift of nature". Incredible instrument".
Since then, she won the championship because of her undisputed crushing strength, and she became popular, and she was called the "singer of the deep sea".
Countless people are crazy about her singing.
And her most representative works are her songs without words, each of which is composed and sung by herself, a total of four songs have been released in half a year, each of which is a top seller.
Even because of the particularity of its melody, it has been used as healing music by countless psychiatrists, and it has been proved to have incomparable positive effects.
And Peter knew him because he accidentally passed by a coffee shop one day and heard Alice's song being played in the coffee shop.
He was fixed in place at the time, and after he realized it, he had already walked into the coffee shop, broke through his social fear nature, and directly asked the young waitress behind the counter what song it was and whose song it was.
Peter, who got the answer, quickly became a fan of Alice.
Sitting on the roof, Peter took out his mobile phone and looked at the social platform. When he swiped the homepage, he saw the latest photo of Alice.
In the photo, the fair-skinned, smiling, angel-like girl is like the most beautiful existence he can imagine in the world. Her smile is sweet, but smart and lively, showing a small canine tooth .She was wearing a light-colored dress, revealing a slender wrist, which could easily arouse anyone's desire to protect her.
She is so beautiful and so healing.
Peter couldn't help but like all these posts, and then he continued to scroll down, and suddenly a real-time news popped up:
"Recently, the trend of pipeline explosions in New York is increasing. It is not yet clear why, and the engineering team has begun troubleshooting. The following are the areas that will be affected by the investigation in different time periods. Please check in advance and prepare accordingly. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.”
Ah, yes...the pipe exploded.
Peter clicked into the dynamic details.
During this period of time, such news would always appear, and even caused some commotion, but because these accidents did not cause death, and the most serious thing was only the skin on the arm was burned, so it did not cause too much trouble. s concern.
However, the pipeline that exploded was basically the infrastructure of the last century. After such a long time, it is not surprising that it has aged.
Peter glanced at the time and put away his phone.
"It's almost time to go back!" He stretched and stood up.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a man wearing a peaked cap standing by a wall on the street not far away, motionless... facing the wall?
This street is relatively remote, and there are not many vehicles going back and forth on weekdays, and it is not the rush hour for travel, so there is only one person in the street.
The light of the setting sun dyed the whole street orange at dusk, dragging the shadow of the peaked cap very long.
Peter didn't care either, he put on the hood again, and before he could move, his whole body was startled suddenly, and the spider sensed frantically warning him at this moment——
Danger!
His body reacted earlier than his mind, he jumped down without hesitation, the spider silk shot out suddenly, swinging across the deserted street, and flew towards the man wearing the peaked cap whose face could not be seen clearly!
He hugged that person with one hand, and almost instantly, the wall burst open, and flames and thick smoke swept towards them in an instant, like the god of death who came suddenly without warning.
"boom--!!!"
Peter tightly hugged the stranger's waist, protected him with his back, and then swung up at the fastest speed, narrowly avoiding the flames of the explosion.The soaring air wave lifted them into the air, which made Peter almost lose his balance in the air, and finally he could only fall to the ground in a little embarrassment.
Before landing, he still did not forget to turn over and let himself land first.
And the stranger who was rescued by him was still protected by him in his arms, buffered by his body, so he shouldn't suffer too much damage.
"boom!"
"Well——" Peter snorted, the fall was a bit hard, he felt as if his back was run over by a car, he was so sore, and even his internal organs had a big earthquake, which made him a little nauseous impulse.
"Are you okay?" His first reaction was to ask the stranger he had saved.
He raised his head to look at him, but just such a glance made him fall into a state of sluggishness.
Maybe it was because of the too much impact, or maybe it was because of the air wave just now, the stranger's peaked cap flew to an unknown corner, and the sunglasses used to cover his face fell off, hanging on the thin silver chain. Dangling around the neck.
The long soft light brown hair poured down like a waterfall, and the ends of the hair gently brushed past Peter's cheeks. At this moment, Peter smelled a cool and sweet fragrance of flowers.
He raised his eyes and suddenly fell into a clear and clean shallow sea. Those beautiful and bright eyes that he had been obsessed with recently were looking at him with a little surprise at the moment.
Peter froze.
He was stunned for a long while, and he didn't even realize that he was still under the girl's body at this moment, so he could only stare wide-eyed in bewilderment and shock, and said, "Love, love, Alice..."
"Hush—" Alice Milia put a finger on his lips, "Don't shout!"
At this time, the sound of the explosion has attracted the attention of many people, and the number of people on the street gradually began to increase.
"It's troublesome." Peter heard the girl on his body mutter, and pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction. Then she reached out and put the sunglasses back on, and tidied her hair that was blown by the wind, and stood up from Peter. , to pick up the peaked cap that was blown not far away by the wind.
But it's still a bit late.
Someone in the crowd who came to watch the excitement recognized it at a glance, and shouted from a distance: "Alice Milia?!"
This shout made everyone start running towards this side.
Apparently, the name Alice is more attractive than a pipe explosion that happens out of nowhere.
Alice picked up the peaked cap, and when she turned around, she saw a large wave of fanatical fans rushing towards him. She patted the dust on the peaked cap angrily, and turned to look at Spider-Man who was still in a state of shock.
"Hey!" she shouted, "Who is that, help people to the end!"
The little spider was still in a daze. He got up from the ground, rubbed his still aching back, and heard Alice's words, he could only make a confused voice: "Huh?"
"Take me out of here quickly!" Alice ran to his side, with a bit of resentment in her tone, "I told you not to shout out, you are so stupid, we are going to be torn apart... Don't be dazed, hurry up run!"
Her voice is soft, even if it is a bit pampered and willful, it makes people feel itchy, and they just want to do things according to her wishes.
"I... I, I, I, can I?" The little spider was so nervous that he stammered.
It didn't matter when I was saving someone just now, I just hugged him, but now I know that the other person is a famous super singer, or his favorite star——
Alice looked up at him, and stomped her feet lightly: "Would you like it, or if you don't, I'll run away by myself!"
The little spider was overwhelmed with guilt, and quickly apologized while carefully hugging Alice, and left the street with a spider's web a second before the fans caught up.
……
Hawthorne glanced at Spider-Man's status bar.
[Peter Parker: sanity value 250/250, pollution degree 0%]
"Two hundred and five...that's a good number." He chuckled, "He's still a high school student, right? He's so sensible at such a young age, he's a rare talent like Dick."
【Are you interested in developing him to join Star Nest? 】
"Well... let's see." Hawthorne said, "This child is too young, maybe wait a little longer, and the value can go up?"
He glanced at the status bar of his current body:
[Singer: sanity value 0/300, pollution degree 12.35%]
"A shell that is perfect in every respect, but—" Hawthorne said in a very heavy tone, "the mutation caused by the pollution is quite unimaginable."
【Indeed, this mutation is really...】
There are some words that cannot be used to describe the system.
The mutation of the singer appears on the vocal cords.
This mutation is so slight that it is almost negligible, but the effect is suffocating - that is, Alice's original voice has become a voice that can cause mental pollution, and people who hear this voice will more or less lose some sanity Value, so can only speak in a false voice.
Moreover, as long as this false voice is slightly similar to Alice's original voice, it will cause pollution to varying degrees.
So... the sweet and soft female voice that Alice has now is a false voice that is completely different from her original voice, or even completely opposite.
That's right.
Alice Milia is actually a male who can only make female voices most of the time, otherwise it will cause pollution.
--male! !
His name is not Alice at all, maybe it should be translated as Ellis or something, it just sounds like Alice!
Hawthorn, who was deeply speechless about the pollution, but couldn't find a more suitable shell: "..."
His mother tongue is speechless.
However, coincidentally, due to some past experiences, the singer is very good at women's clothing and false voices. The female voices he imitated are flawless, and there is no difference from real female voices at all.
His false voice is even very beautiful. If he deliberately adds some slight polluting modifications to his voice, he can even use his voice to distort people's thinking and will.
He was only 16 years old when he died due to sacrifice. In addition, he was already somewhat malnourished, and his masculine characteristics had not yet fully developed. Moreover, his brows and eyes were naturally soft, and his appearance was so beautiful that he could not distinguish between male and female. As a result, he has no flaws when dressed as a woman...
The most amazing thing is that because the singer himself is very good at these things, when he became a female singer, his pollution level would drop even faster.
Hawthorne: "...Well, it smells so good."
This also provided Hawthorne with an excellent excuse - anyway, he can only make female voices, he can either dress up as a girl, or be a man who squeezes his throat and imitates girls, then... then it's just bad Bar!
Women's clothes are women's clothes, and his own body of the Eye of the Secret Star has no gender, so what's the matter?
He really doesn't care at all, really!
