Chapitre 1040: Chapter 704 U: Infinite Major Event (23)_1

After sending Dr. Octavius Parker back to his original timeline, Peter continued to immerse himself in his research paper in the lab.

At this time, the Amazing Spiderman knocked and entered. Peter turned to look at him, asking, "You're back from S.H.I.E.L.D.? They finally let you go?"

The Amazing Spiderman sighed, looking somewhat worn out. Evidently, Nick's endless curiosity about the multiverse had given him a massive headache. He didn't know how many questions he had answered before he was finally able to leave. Once back in the lab, he pulled up a chair, sat down, rested on the lab table, and began to complain to Peter.

"Normally, I only see the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. when there's a mission from the Avengers. I never thought your world's Nick Fury would..."

The Amazing Spiderman sighed and said, "He first asked me how to travel through the multiverse. I told him that it's through the spider-sense, the spider totem. He actually asked if there's still time for him to get bitten by a spider?"

"He heard that all Spider-Men from the entire multiverse are gathering together, and he wants me to invite all of them over for a chat, asking them if they can go to various universes to discuss business, and bring every villain their universes don't need to work for him..."

"That's human trafficking. Of course I refused. Then he spent two hours discussing the need for humanity to colonize space and the risks of labor shortages in the process. I'm still feeling dizzy..."

"Mr. Stark never lets me stay alone with Director Nick. He said that Nick would lead me astray," Peter said, moving a chair closer, as he continued to read his paper.

The Amazing Spiderman patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Definitely. I was almost convinced of his ideas."

Peter chuckled and asked him, "What did he say?"

"He said that those villains in our universe would only harm public safety, and keeping them in jail is a waste of resources. It's better to send them here, where they can contribute to mankind's quest of conquering the cosmos."

Sitting with one hand propping up his head on the table, the Amazing Spiderman said, "I never really thought about this. If humanity truly enters the era of space colonization, at least the housing prices and rents in New York should drop, right?"

"Spider-Man 2099 once told me about their universe, but as far as I know, they haven't started the era of space colonization. They just have more advanced technology on Earth. Now, it seems that your universe is developing even faster," the Amazing Spiderman mused.

"I used to think that capturing one criminal would help one person, and that isn't wrong. But my friends and elders always told me that if I spent the same amount of time in the lab, I could save the entire world," Peter flipped the page of the research materials in his hand.

The Amazing Spiderman glanced at the content, complex theories that even he, a researcher of several years, found challenging. Looking back at Peter's young face, he couldn't help but say, "Maybe... they're right."

"It's never too late for you to choose to be Peter Parker instead of Spiderman." The Amazing Spiderman turned his head away, and Peter turned to look at him, saying, "Why don't you try to be Peter Parker while still being Spiderman?"

The Amazing Spiderman smiled and said, "You can still be Peter Parker because the things Spiderman should do are being done by others for you. Your teachers, elders, and friends, they've given more time and energy to let you stay focused in the lab."

"I work at the research institute because I need to make money, to pay rent, and save for Aunt May's retirement."

"Some people have advised me that if I used the time I spent fighting crime to work, I could've moved into a new house a long time ago. But I don't want to do that."

"If I consistently show up in New York, then everyone, when in danger, will have hope. Regardless of whether I can save them, they'll always expect Spiderman's appearance, feeling that there are still people trying to save them in this world."

"I know that maybe improving medical technology and inventing more convenient tools might change the world more effectively. But the existence of Spiderman is just to offer a glimmer of hope for tomorrow to those who are unable to change their lives and may face danger at any moment."

"I know that if I focus on research, I might climb up the ladder, maybe even win some awards. When I achieve both fame and fortune, I can also benefit the world, but..." the Amazing Spiderman turned to Peter and said,

"If you walk through the worst streets in Queens after dark, you will understand. You would rather see a figure swinging in the air than a scientist. That would let you know that the way home tonight is safe. That's my reason for doing this."

"Some people are trying to have the sun shine forever, but Spiderman just wants to help you get through the last night without sunlight." The Amazing Spiderman's low voice echoed in the room, softer than the moonlight.

"What do you think I should do?" Peter looked at the Amazing Spiderman and asked, "Should I continue to be Peter Parker or become Spiderman?"

"You can choose to be both, Peter. You have infinite possibilities," the Amazing Spiderman said, looking into his eyes.

"Yes, thanks to the efforts of my friends, I now have more room to choose, rather than worrying about making a living every day," Peter said, shaking his head.

Suddenly, he paused, put down the paper in his hand, stood up, and covered his forehead, saying, "My God... What am I doing? I came here to..."

"I need to find Doctor Schiller, I have to confirm if he's still alive!" After finishing his sentence, Peter rushed to the door, shouting as he ran, "I was dragged into doing experiments by Doctor Otto and almost forgot about my priority!"

"Where are you going?" the Amazing Spiderman asked as he caught up with him.

"Go find Pikachu! He surely knows where Doctor Schiller went!" Peter said as he ran out, the Amazing Spiderman caught up with him and asked: "Pikachu? What's that? Where are you going to find him?"

Peter lowered his head, glanced at the time on his wristwatch, and said: "At this time, he would only be in one place...."

Half an hour later, in an arcade in Hell's Kitchen, Peter pulled Pikachu by the tail and dragged him away from the machine. Pikachu was swinging his little arms and shouting: "Put me down! I put in two coins!"

"Where is Doctor Schiller?" Peter asked.

"He... he went on vacation." Pikachu shouted.

Peter squinted his eyes, he found that Pikachu and Strange's responses were quite similar, both saying he went on vacation.

Peter knew that Schiller often went on vacation, disappearing for a month or two, which was not unusual. But before, when he was in Stark's laboratory, he clearly heard Strange looking for Schiller.

Later, when Peter asked Strange about Schiller's whereabouts, Strange said that Schiller had gone on vacation. If Schiller really went on vacation, why would Strange come to Stark's lab to look for him? This was obviously inconsistent.

They definitely kept something from him.

Thinking like this, Peter grabbed Pikachu's little arms, rubbed his cheeks, and said: "Stop joking, I really need to find him for something important!"

"For this...you probably need to go find the Supreme Magician." Pikachu diverted the topic, and no matter what, he refused to say where Schiller was. Peter asked for a while but got no answer.

Peter sighed and finally called Strange. Judging from the background sound, Strange was not in the Holy Sanctuary; instead, he was in Kamar-Taj.

After explaining his intentions to Strange, the latter also sighed, and said, "Alright, stay there, I'll come and pick you up."

"Pick me up? Where are we going?" Peter asked.

"Kamar-Taj."

Soon, a teleportation gate appeared above Peter's head, and Strange pulled Peter's arm and walked into the gate.

Just as he arrived in Kamar-Taj, Peter was somewhat confused. He said, "Why would Doctor Schiller be in Kamar-Taj? Is he learning magic?"

"No, he's teaching magic."

After he said that, Strange led Peter through the hall of Kamar-Taj, walked along the mountainside, and into a building built into the mountain.

They walked through a somewhat dark corridor and came to a room. Strange knocked lightly on the door, and when he pushed the door open, Peter saw a familiar face—it was Schiller.

However, Schiller was dressed a bit peculiarly. He was wearing a black robe, with dark green and silver patterns on the collar and cuffs. Most notably, he had a badge on his chest. It was a silver shield-shaped badge with a green background and a silver... snake?

Peter found the figure quite familiar. Suddenly, he widened his eyes, took a deep breath and said in astonishment, "Professor Schiller?? What are you doing here??!!"

"We meet again, Peter. Come here. Have you learned how to handle the Booger Monster proficiently?"

Peter stared at him and then set his gaze on Schiller's hand.

At this time, Schiller was holding a small stick in his hand, or to put it in terms of the dream that Peter had once participated in, this thing was called—a magic wand.

Just as Peter was immersed in shock, footsteps sounded from the hallway. Another figure entered the room, and said to Strange, "Steven, what's with this order?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Peter stiffly turned his head. The entering figure was dressed in a white shirt, holding a contract in his hand, and his face was also very familiar - it was Schiller again.

Peter quickly looked at the Schiller holding the wand, then turned his head to look at the Schiller holding the contract, and then turned his head again...

The shrieking sound echoing over the Himalayas, was Peter's terrified scream:

"How can there be two Doctor Schillers??!!!"
