Chapter 100 Clocking In Early
In the air, Arthur's mind was almost blank.
The only thought was to move forward… to move forward…
This thought became a melody that kept looping in Arthur's mind!
When he came to his senses and looked around, he realized that the OsCorp Industry Company was actually behind him.
He had missed it!
He quickly turned around and looked down to find that the rooftop was empty.
Neither Spider-Man nor the Lizard had appeared.
"Does this count as arriving early? Can early arrival count as full attendance?"
In a flash, Arthur was on the next level of the building.
The main tone here was dark, with only occasional flashes of light.
At that moment, the entire building echoed with the shrill sound of an alarm!
"How did the Fucking Lizard of all creatures manage to get into the OsCorp Industry Building when it seemed so impenetrable?"
But if the Green Goblin serum wasn't there, what was the point of getting in?
Arthur continued his descent!
Since Spider-Man and Lizard hadn't shown up, there might still be time to check on Gwen's situation!
Even though the movie implied that Gwen would be safe, there was always the "what if" option. What if something happened to her? How would he comfort a weeping and emo Spider-Man then?
These kinds of questions couldn't be answered without seeing them through.
As Arthur continued to use his Crossed-over ability, he became adept at controlling it. With just a thought, he could appear wherever he wanted.
Descending through dozens of floors, Arthur saw a glimpse of a device on a certain level.
But the device was unclear, and he didn't have time to think about it. When he reappeared, he saw a hideous green monster in the office building, clawing at a blonde girl in a white lab coat!
"Hey, you ugly bastard!"
Arthur quickly drew two handguns, and in a burst of gunfire, four shots hit the Lizard's head.
His sudden appearance and attack caught the Lizard off guard. He staggered back, furious, and shot a hostile glance at Arthur before seeming to lose interest in fighting and fleeing.
He crashed through the window and disappeared without a trace!
"Are you okay?" Arthur approached Gwen before asking.
"I'm fine…" Gwen, who was strong enough to get up without Arthur's help, looked at Arthur in surprise before speaking: "Instructor?"
Arthur blinked. Had he become famous without realizing it?
"Is it really you?"
Gwen seemed excited: "Can you give me an autograph?"
"I think you should get out of here before you ask for an autograph."
Arthur looked at the big hole in the window before he continued to speak: "By the way, where's the antidote?"
"What antidote?" Gwen blinks after hearing Arthur's question.
"…Don't joke around with me; I know you have it," Arthur said. "Your friend already told me."
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Gwen said, "I think you're right; I should get out of here right now."
The girl was unusually cautious. Even the legendary Instructor wasn't enough to convince her.
After all, rumors are just rumors. Arthur's appearance was too coincidental, and it was normal for Gwen to have doubts.
However, Arthur wasn't going to waste any time with her. With a quick movement, he appeared behind Gwen and pulled a vial from her pocket, smiling as he said, "Children who lie are not cute!"
"You thief!!!"
Gwen, who was quite brave, touched her empty pocket and glared at Arthur.
"If I were you, I'd get out of here right now."
After stuffing the vial into the Disassembler Space, Arthur said to Gwen, "If anything happens to you, your boyfriend will be crying for years to come."
"Do you really know him? Do I know you?" Gwen asked with a sharp look on her face.
Arthur remained silent.
"Has anyone ever told you that your mask is very tacky and ugly!"
Having said that, Gwen turned and walked away!
Arthur's face turned darker than his mask in an instant. Was this not a case of "birds of the same feather flocking together"?
Why did his mask always get cursed by these two people?
Looking at the vial in his hand, Arthur casually tossed it into the Disassembler Space. Now it was time to have a serious talk with the Lizard.
Earlier, when he had gone out, he had been carrying a device that was supposed to be the so-called Canali Device! This device, once operational, would create a reflective cloud that would spread its contents throughout the city.
From the present perspective, the Lizard was still on this irreversible path.
With a thought, Arthur ascended the same way he descended.
His method was much faster than the Lizard's, so when Arthur reached the rooftop, the Lizard had not yet arrived.
But he didn't have to wait for long. When the Lizard finally reached the rooftop, he saw Arthur waving at him before saying: "Hello!
Lizard grinned broadly as he also spoke, "Hello to you too!"
As soon as he spoke, Arthur disappeared, and the spot where he had been was struck by a large tail swipe.
He missed with the first strike, but the Lizard was not discouraged. He grabbed the edge of the building and jumped up.
"I was hoping we could avoid a fight the first time we met. I didn't come here to…"
Arthur's words were interrupted as the Lizard looked around as if looking for bricks.
There were no bricks on the roof. Instead, the Lizard's tail wrapped around a metal pipe and ripped it off with brute force. With a flick of his tail, the pipe flew towards Arthur, whistling sharply.
"That's not very clever!"
Arthur appeared behind the Lizard: "I hope we can come to an understanding instead of jumping into a fight!"
"Impossible! You stabbed me before!!!"
The Lizard, as offended as a two hundred kilogram monster, added, "And you mocked me too!!!"
Seeing the Lizard's outcry, Arthur felt that he might have done something wrong.
If the Lizard hadn't immediately grabbed an antenna that looked like a large iron lid and swung it at him, Arthur would have actually considered offering a sincere apology.
But now… Arthur's form flickered, appearing behind the Lizard with a military dagger in his right hand and a gun in his left!
"Indeed, mere words are always powerless!"
