["I'll tell you the absolute truth again! This man has spent his entire life researching cross-species gene transplantation! He lost an arm, and he wants to grow it back, but the equation is not balanced!"]
["This caused him to become a lizard man, and he is using lizard DNA! He is very dangerous, and he is planning something terrible now, I know it! I sense it!"]
[Peter tried to convince George of his words, but George thought that Peter might have become delirious from overstudying, so he perfunctorily said, "Alright, here's the plan—why don't you go take a trip to Tokyo with the other citizens? Meanwhile, I'll stay here and protect our beautiful city."]
[Then he ordered a police officer to send Peter back to school. Peter folded his hands and begged, "Captain Stacy! I'm not here to cause trouble! Take him to the police station, you have to call him over, you have to call him over! He is a threat to everyone!!!"]
[Peter was carried further and further away by Officer Butler, his voice getting louder and louder, "Please!!! Trust me!!!" Butler pushed him out of the police station impatiently. ]
[George looked at Peter thoughtfully. After Peter was pushed out, he walked aside, pinched his brow and said, "Jimmy! Give me all the information about Dr. Kurt Connors! Okay? Hurry up!"]
"Poor Peter, his words are really hard to believe, especially since Connors also wrote a letter of recommendation for Gwen!" Tony put down the tools in his hands and snapped his fingers. The little robot came over with two glasses of wine, and Tony handed one of the glasses to Banner.
"Indeed, if someone had told me before that gamma rays would cause me to change into a green monster, I wouldn't have believed it!" Banner said after taking a sip.
"Yeah! Who said it wasn't true? George has lived for so long and has seen so many ups and downs, but he has never seen a human mutate into a lizard. It's normal for him not to believe it, but at least he listened to Peter Parker's words and went to check Connors' information."
. . . . . .
Connors sat in the office a little depressed. Peter walked in from the door. He had no obstruction along the way and everyone recognized him.
"Doc...are you okay?" After coming out of the mayor's office, Peter went straight to Oscorp Industries. Looking at Connors' unshaven appearance, he asked worriedly.
He handed the matter of the house over to Uncle Ben. Anyway, with the police chief George Stacy around, Peter believed that George would help.
"Peter, you're here, sit down." Connors pulled out a chair for Peter to sit down.
"I... I don't know what to say. My hard work has failed. They have temporarily stopped my research until they are sure that there will be no risks after restarting the research!"
Although he announced that he would continue his research, the board of directors actually directly banned his work because government investigators were preparing to do an investigation and they didn't want any problems to arise at this critical juncture!
"I have nothing now, Peter!" Connors sighed. He was under tremendous pressure from public opinion just like Otto did back then, even more serious than Otto.
"I believe in you, Doctor! Cheer up, wasn't the simulation successful? You just need to find the balance! Make sure the lizard genes don't affect human genes! I believe you can succeed!" Peter encouraged him.
"Yeah! I know, I just... I just couldn't accept the blow for a moment, and I almost caused a disaster! Peter!" Connors lost some confidence. Years of hard work turned into this result.
"It was Mr Ratha who almost caused such a disaster! Not you. You just wanted to stop him! It's not your fault. If he hadn't been so eager to rush thing, things wouldn't have come to this!"
Peter didn't want Connors to continue to be decadent like this, and in addition to criticizing him for being too reckless, many people also believed that Connors just wanted to stop Ratha and had good intentions.
What's more, he refused Ratha's unreasonable request for human experiments under coercion and inducement. He did that only because he was affected by the lizard potion.
After hearing Peter's comfort and encouragement, Connors finally cheered up a little and decided to re-study the Decay Rate Algorithm before restarting the experiment to calculate the gene ratio to achieve balance. This might take a long time, but he didn't care as he had been waiting for so many years.
[Peter left the police station and walked down the street. Suddenly, his spider sense allowed him to see a lizard lying on the railing. Peter looked at them thoughtfully as they entered the sewer as if attracted by something.]
[There is also a bundle of newspapers on the ground, with a sharp claw on it and the title reads: "Reward for those who have evidence!" It is obvious that the police department is collecting relevant clues about Connors.]
[Deep within the sewers, Connors' voice echoed against the damp walls. "Subject: Dr. Kurt Connors. Current temperature: 89 degrees Fahrenheit. Condition: Stable for the last seven hours. Blood tests show lymphocyte and monocyte readings remain consistent with past data."]
[He was recording his transformation process, meticulously documenting his findings.]
[Peter, meanwhile, had quietly descended into the underground tunnels. Hanging upside down from a web, he watched from the shadows, taking in every word.]
["Coagulation rate has greatly increased," Connors continued, speaking to his camera. "Muscle reaction, strength, and flexibility have shown significant enhancement…"]
[Peter fired spider web from a sewer opening that led to all the surrounding sewer openings, and then pulled the silk together to form a huge spider web.]
[Connors removed his glasses, holding them up to the dim light. "Vision has also improved significantly," he noted. "The subject no longer requires corrective lenses. This is no longer about curing disease… This is about achieving perfection."]
[[Peter finished setting up his trap just as Connors reached for another syringe. "To counteract regression, dosage has been increased to 200 milligrams," the doctor muttered.]
[Without hesitation, he plunged the needle into his arm. As the serum entered his system, Connors' pupils dilated. His breathing grew erratic. His fingers twitched before violently knocking over the camera. His transformation had begun.]
[Above, Peter lay sprawled across his web, idly playing a game on his phone, waiting for movement. Suddenly, a tremor ran through one of the silk threads. His fingers instinctively tensed.]
[A moment later, the first tremor was followed by another. Then another. More and more of his web strands trembled, indicating movement from multiple directions.]
[Peter's eyes narrowed. For a second, he saw only darkness. Then… a massive shadow appeared at the tunnel's exit. He held his breath.]
[The next second, a small lizard crawled out. Before Peter could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that more lizards were crawling towards him. The spider web he had set up was full of lizards.]
[Just when Peter was a little overwhelmed, he found that these lizards gathered in the center and moved in one direction, so he followed these lizards and slowly crawled over.]
