บท 481: Stopping the train
People outside the light curtain couldn't help but pray for Spider-Man.
In the video, Spider-Man, in the process of communicating with the driver, had the control system roughly dismantled, causing a small explosion that blackened his face. Spider-Man had to lift his mask.
His appearance was now exposed to the eyes of all the passengers in the entire train. However, at this moment, Peter couldn't care less about that. He had to find a way to stop the train.
Just at this moment, the video paused and presented a new question: [Question: Who was responsible for Dr. Octopus's death]
[A: Peter Parker
B: Harry Osborn
C: Mary Jane
D: Otto Octavius]
The video paused at a crucial moment, introducing a question. Naturally, this infuriated the audience, who protested, but their objections were in vain. They didn't even have the qualifications to answer.
In the eternal space, Peter took a deep breath and scratched his head. "Doesn't this question about Dr. Octopus have nothing to do with whether I can stop the train or not? Why not finish the video segment about the train first?"
Commissioner Gordon shrugged. "I don't think it's a big deal. It happened before. It always pauses at critical moments and then shows a question. I'm just surprised that this question doesn't ask if you can stop the train."
Arthur smiled. "If that's the case, the question would be too easy. I think even you wouldn't get it wrong, right?"
Commissioner Gordon snorted and chose not to talk back, lest he fell into the opponent's trap again.
Bruce redirected the conversation to the question: "Before answering this question, Peter, I need to know something. Have you ever killed someone?"
"Uh..." Peter Parker hesitated for a moment. "Green Goblin, I... I was responsible for his..."
Bruce interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "Green Goblin doesn't count. Whether it's the current timeline or the original timeline, you haven't directly killed him; he was just a result of your actions."
"Okay, I usually just knock them out or use webbing to tie them up and take them to the police station." Peter honestly replied. "Mr. Bruce, I respect your no-killing policy, and I hope I can adhere to it myself."
"Good." Bruce Wayne nodded. "So, this question can first eliminate option a, right?"
Commissioner Gordon agreed, "Unless the Peter mentioned in option a is not Spider-Man but just someone with the same name, but that possibility is very low."
Peter thought for a moment and said, "Actually, none of these four options seems quite right... If I have to choose one, I think option d is the most suspicious."
Option d, Otto Octavius, is Dr. Octopus's real name. If this is the answer, it means that Dr. Octopus will die at his own hands, which is not impossible, considering the case with the Green Goblin.
At this point, Arthur said, "Is there a possibility that, like we encountered before, the most unlikely option is the correct answer?"
Commissioner Gordon frowned, "The most unlikely option? I can't see which of these four options is the most unlikely."
Having seen Aunt May helping Spider-Man drive away Dr. Octopus, Commissioner Gordon had learned a lesson. Now, looking at the four options in this question, he found each one suspicious.
They discussed for a while, and the countdown for answering had started. They quickly pressed the answer buttons.
At this moment, the points leaderboard showed Arthur at the top with a total of 24 points, followed by Peter and Bruce with 15 points each. Commissioner Gordon was at a pitiful 2 points.
It was clear that Arthur had a high probability of winning this round, and Commissioner Gordon had almost no chance of turning the tables. The gap was too significant, and it wasn't just bad luck, as he had gotten the chance to answer a few times but got them wrong each time.
According to the rules, after the game ends, the two players with the lowest points will be eliminated. They not only lose all their points but also face severe penalties.
Now Peter and Bruce had the same points. The two of them had to compete for the chance to win. Peter hesitated when pressing the answer button, wondering if he should let Bruce win.
As the only experienced player present, losing this game would be a significant loss for him. He had accumulated quite a few points.
But experienced players also had an advantage. Penalties, when received, would prioritize stripping away abilities gained from the quiz game. Although it was a loss, it was better than losing their original abilities.
Unless they were extremely unlucky and had their player data and mission system directly stripped away, that would be a significant loss.
In short, he was considering letting Bruce win. After all, his relationship with Bruce from the parallel timeline was good, and there was a sense of being both a mentor and a friend. Additionally, Bruce Wayne was a new player, and giving him a little consideration seemed natural.
Peter thought a lot about it, and with some reservations, he didn't get the chance to answer. But the successful answerer wasn't Bruce Wayne but Commissioner Gordon, who was about to be eliminated.
Commissioner Gordon looked a bit nervous. He had answered incorrectly several times before, creating some psychological shadow. But on second thought, with his points at the bottom, it wouldn't make much difference.
He glanced at Peter and made a determined choice: "I choose... d!"
Peter and Bruce also chose d. Arthur, however, chose a and grinned, "I think the most unlikely option is a. Peter, I believe in you."
Peter Parker shrugged, "As you wish."
Soon, the countdown ended, and the correct answer was revealed:
[Correct answer is D:Otto Octavius]
[Congratulations to Player Jim Gordon for the correct answer, gaining 4 points. Player Bruce Wayne and Player Peter Parker answered correctly, each earning 1 point.]
[Player Arthur Fleck answered incorrectly, deducting 1 point.]
Commissioner Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, finally answering correctly in the answering round. Otherwise, he would face electric shocks again if he lost points.
The answering ended, and the video continued on the screen. The speeding train continued forward, and Spider-Man reached the front of the train, trying to stop it.
He first tried to use his feet as brakes. Thanks to his sturdy body, if it were an ordinary person, doing what Spider-Man did—placing one foot on the speeding train and the other on the iron track—would likely result in instant disaster.
