I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

Chapter 20 NYPD's Autumn Wind
"So thank you for being willing to say this, it will make me feel that what I did was not in vain."

Raymond watched Gwen's shoulders twitch, the girl's heart trembled, and her emotions fluctuated, but she still maintained a restrained, steady, and polite voice, thanking herself calmly.With Gwen's personality, she will only restrain her emotions in front of people she cares about, at least as friends, and she tends to ignore people she doesn't care about.

Just like she did with the girls in the band.

Raymond remained silent. It was difficult for him to say anything in terms of the teacher-student relationship or the friend relationship, so he just let the girl continue to cover her side face with her blond hair, and slightly released her emotions in places that others could not see. .

As Spider-Man, as the closest person to failure, it is difficult for anyone to understand the pressure she faces.

Chattering at this time would only annoy Gwen, so he chose to remain silent.

"Raymond." After a long silence, maybe out of thanks for his words of comfort, or maybe for some other reason, Gwen took the initiative to change the subject: "The news said that Tony Stark was missing, you found him Yet?"

Raymond was a little surprised that Miss Spider would be interested in these big companies, he shook his head: "No, I didn't find it, the place in Afghanistan, as long as you plan to hide it, you won't be able to find it in a few centuries. "

"So...he's dead, right?" Gwen frowned. Although she didn't like Tony Stark, she didn't like Obadiah who would deal with Kim even more—but then she changed her mind. Thinking about it, maybe the relationship between Stark and Jin Bin is also very good?

This is still unknown to her after all.

"Who knows? He's as strong as a bull himself, so it's not that easy to die." Raymond said in a frivolous tone, "If he really comes back, the jaws of the few people in the company will probably drop—— Who knows if he will suddenly change his mind and become a pacifist?"

"Pacifist? Tony Stark?" Gwen turned to look at the professor who was concentrating on driving.

"Hahaha, people's hearts will change." Recalling the scene where Tony Stark was eating a cheeseburger and announcing the disbandment of Stark Industries' weapons R&D department, Raymond's mouth curled up, "If that's the case, I guess you will Glad you don't look like someone who would support so-called 'warmongers'."

Gwen didn't make a sound, her mood suddenly became a little complicated.Not only does Raymond know himself well, but he is also very confident in his judgment of the future, even a bit prophetic - this is because he comes from a parallel universe and has understood his past, and because he is a tenured professor. Experience, or out of...

"Scared by my prophecy!" Raymond continued to tease the sensitive Miss Spider verbally, "It's not a superpower—a girl of your age can be easily seen through."

"Oh? You..." Gwen, who was easily guessed, was a little unconvinced, "Then can you guess how I felt when I saw your sports car spinning around like a peacock in the morning?"

The professor who was turned against the general by Gwen was dumbfounded again, secretly thinking that girls of this age are really difficult to deal with-especially a girl like Gwen who has a lot of thoughts and emotions.

"Your taste is really bad enough. The color scheme of this car looks like it was rented from the airport." Gwen Stacy was most annoyed by being taught by various elders in various "mature" tones—— She's been telling the world, both as Spider-Man and as Gwen Stacy, that her wings have grown enough to fly on her own.She drew a long tone and added her grievance: "Also, why are you pretending to be an old pedant? You are only 24 years old this year."

"Then I'm you too...professor!" Raymond, who was pushed into the corner by the eloquent Gwen, could only use his identity to suppress others.

Then he caught a glimpse of Miss Spider curling her lips in disdain and turning away.Miss Spider looked at the street view outside the window on the right side of the co-driver, without turning her head, her tone was a little cold: "You work in Stark Industries, don't get involved in some bad things."

"Huh?" Raymond expressed doubts, "What did you find out?"

Although Gwen had just been fighting with Raymond just now, she was still very grateful for Raymond's comforting words.She has heard people around her comment on "Ghost Spider-Man", nothing more than "powerful", "charming", "dangerous", "justice" and so on, but those are all evaluations of "Spider-Man", take off the mask , she is just Gwen Stacy, a young girl who is busy living and studying, and is almost bruised by society.

Few people would say "thank you" to the real her under the mask, and only Raymond would say "no one can do better than you".

So although the girl still had a cold face, she was quite happy in her heart.She decided to reveal more information to Raymond: "Obadiah is more complicated than you think. He is working with very dangerous people."

"Funny, I just remember him loving New York pizza." Contrary to Gwen's expectations, Raymond wasn't surprised by the news.

"It seems that he already knew..." The girl lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds before deciding to seek some advice from Raymond.After all, after getting in touch with the professor, Gwen did admit that he had more vision than himself on some things.

"I've been investigating illegal drugs recently..." Gwen Stacy carefully chose the information she could disclose, "I accidentally learned that Obadiah seems to be... doing some not-so-clean things, but I I didn’t think about what to do.”

"Gwen." Raymond adjusted his glasses with free hands—since Miss Spider asked the question, it was necessary for him to be the teacher.He showed the style of teaching, and said persuasively: "You should know that there are two essential problems in society, how to produce and how to distribute."

"Huh?" Gwen didn't quite understand what Professor Xu said had anything to do with what he said.

"The means to solve these two problems is—and only communication."

"Since we can use communication to solve problems, how can there be violent crimes and wars?" Miss Spider expressed her disdain based on her own experience, but she still decided to listen to what Raymond had to say - this is a matter of basic politeness.

"No, no, no." The professor stepped on the brakes ahead of time when he was stuck at the traffic light, and then he freed his hands after stopping, turned to Gwen, and said word by word: "War is also a way of communication, and it is the root of all human communication methods." The end and the end."

"It's a bit like a philosophy class." Those water-blue eyes suddenly lit up, as if they were shining brightly, "Continue talking."

"Obadiah's behavior is also a kind of communication. When he thinks that society has not allocated him material wealth or spiritual wealth to satisfy himself, he uses means of communication beyond the social level to fight for these, such as violence, such as violence. Worse things. Therefore, you can use means beyond the social level to respond to him, such as calling the police, or your superpowers, and society will always naturally produce some ways to deal with means outside the society, for example, me and As you said, the twins of superheroes and supervillains are a testament to this law."

Gwen fell silent. Professor Xu's speech was not just a so-called "philosophy class", but also a summary of his personal experience-a young girl with a weak crown still can't understand the full picture of the meaning of the words.

"Okay, let's keep it simple." Raymond was in a good mood when he saw that the always smart Gwen was stunned by himself, as if he had found the scene.The professor continued to speak slowly: "You can act as Spiderman to stop Obadiah, but that's actually unnecessary. You have to understand that we can use many methods. In the words of my hometown, using strength to fight is often will get better results.”

"By using your strength?" Gwen Stacy frowned, muttering some convoluted sentences, "Using other people's strength to stop Obadiah?"

"That's right!" Raymond snapped his fingers, and at the same time lightly tapped the accelerator with his right foot, and the engine let out a low roar. He said at the same time:

"Maybe you think that no one will help you—for you, NYPD, FBI, and even DEA are unreliable. You may think that in this society, everyone has a price tag and can be bought." Raymond sighed , "This is indeed true, but have you ever thought about it? Just hitting all the bad guys can't solve the problem."

"Then what should I do?" Gwen was a little puzzled.

"Even people with backers are afraid." Raymond said coldly, "People who are bribed are always afraid that they will lose their value or cause a scandal because of their inaction-this will lead to death. mistake."

"What am I going to do?" Gwen was still puzzled, "I can't get into their circle either?"

"Sometimes you have to understand that for these gangsters who live in the corners of society, finding evidence is more important than defeating them." Raymond pushed his glasses, "For example, you put 100 gangsters a day It may be better to find a transaction receipt than to be sent to prison-the latter is the magic weapon against the big man."

"A transaction receipt...?" Gwen lowered her head, meditating on the professor's strange talk.Before she could figure out this strange logic that seemed more in line with Eastern thinking, she was interrupted by the professor.

Raymond turned on the right turn signal, lightly tapped the brakes, and said to the blond girl in a slightly frivolous tone: "As the tuition fee for this morning class, please Miss Stacy go to the Shelsky's of Brooklyn on the street to buy a pair for me." A smoked salmon bagel for breakfast today, thank you."

Raymond picked up the pronunciation of "you" in "thank you" and grinned with a smile on his face.

Gwen pursed her lips and squinted her eyes, as if thinking about something, took a few pieces of green paper from the professor, and thanked softly: "I probably understand, thank you too, Professor."

Gwen Stacy thinks that this "professor" is the most sincere one she has called in her 20 years of life.

Watching the blond girl open the car door and walk into the breakfast shop holding the money.The professor relaxed his hands away from the table, adjusted the seat back a bit, rested it on his arms, and was about to close his eyes for a while—

"Boom boom boom——"

The professor opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a policeman in blue police uniform and NYPD badge knocking on his car window.The professor lowered the car window and heard the police officer order: "Get out of the car, put your head in your hands, and lie down on the car!"

"What?" Raymond showed a surprised expression.
