Chapter 150: Experiment Record
"Actually, I felt incredibly guilty at the time, because I was the one who brought Connors to the school, and I never expected him to become the Lizard that would harm the school."
"Why am I sure he's the Lizard? Because he left behind a gene formula notebook in the dorm room."
"Thankfully, I haven't forgotten the biology knowledge from my student days. I understood this gene formula."
Klein lowered his head and sighed, then regained his confidence and said, "I plan to use Connors' formula to gain more powerful strength."
"But not for anyone else—it's for the students. This is the first day of my experiment. I hope everything goes smoothly."
After saying all this, Klein picked up the camera and walked into his small, unused room, which was already filled with the instruments needed for the experiment.
Setting the camera down again, Klein put on his white lab coat and glasses, and began mixing the test tube in his hand: "I know I shouldn't be doing this experiment, after all, Connors' outcome was far from ideal."
"To avoid that outcome, I'm using a very small dosage. Even if it fails, the consequences won't be too severe."
Having prepared the gene serum in his hand, Klein looked up at the camera, rolled up the sleeve on his right arm, and then firmly inserted the needle into his arm. Klein then sat quietly, waiting for the genetic changes.
After two minutes, Klein gradually smiled and said, "I... I seem to have succeeded?"
Before Klein could laugh out loud, he suddenly began to convulse, and his face instantly turned red. Crash! Clang! Klein knocked over all the instruments on the table. He picked up the trembling camera and said, "Failure... It failed." Thud! Right after saying that, Klein fell to the ground. The camera landed right in front of him, showing his appearance after losing consciousness.
The first video ended.
"I didn't expect the teacher's first experiment to be so eventful," Peter sighed, feeling that Klein was a dedicated and responsible good teacher.
"Mhm." Silas swiped his right hand, and the next video immediately appeared.
In the same location, still in that room, Klein sat helplessly in front of the camera, occasionally rubbing his chin. After a while, Klein spoke, "I'm relieved that even though the experiment failed, I'm still alive, and I found that my strength has increased slightly."
"I don't know if it's psychological," Klein laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I shouldn't have continued this dangerous experiment."
"But today, another major incident occurred: the Green Goblin came! And he bombed the school."
"Compared to the Lizard's destruction, the Green Goblin's bombing killed many students and colleagues. Once again, I watched all this unfold helplessly."
"Looking at the desperate eyes of the students under the ruins, I decided..." Klein suddenly looked up and said, "I must continue this experiment, even if it costs me my life."
The next few videos all showed Klein's experiment process each time, just as he had written on the note. In these dozen videos, he did not reveal any of the materials or gene formulas required for the experiment, only simply filming the consequences after his injection.
"What are you thinking, Peter?" Silas waved his hand, closing the video, and saw Peter, usually talkative, sitting silently in the chair, lost in thought.
"Let's turn Teacher Klein back," Peter stood up and said. This was his idea after watching the video. He understood how difficult it was for Klein to obtain this power.
However, Klein had also paid a heavy price for it, and it was precisely because of Klein's abilities that his mother was kidnapped.
"We should listen to Klein's own opinion first," Silas, Peter Parker's brother, did not immediately agree with Peter's idea. How could Klein's hard-earned power be restored just like that?
"Mhm... you're right, Silas. My thinking was too simple," Peter said.
Peter was silent for a moment, then said weakly, "So, we still haven't found the clue Teacher Klein left behind?"
"It's not that we didn't find it, it's that you didn't find it." Silas extended his right hand. A Black Shadow Ninja appeared, holding a USB drive, and handed it to him.
Silas examined the USB drive in his hand. It was shaped like Pikachu. Pulling on Pikachu's tail caused the USB connector to pop out automatically. Click! The USB connector sprang out. He tossed the USB drive onto the operating table. A mechanical arm rose up and took the USB drive. Then, the contents of the USB drive were displayed on the screen.
Due to the night, Klein maintained his large insect appearance while facing the camera.
"Hello, Spider-Man, Destiny. I am Klein. If you are watching this video, it means I have gone missing."
Klein was quite smart. He didn't mention Silas's or Peter's names in the video, referring to them only by their nicknames.
"You don't need to worry about my safety. I am fine. Although I left abruptly, I had no choice."
"That organization has finally started threatening me to do their bidding. They have given me my first mission: to ambush near Stark Tower and wait for someone inside to make contact."
"I don't know what they intend to do. They don't trust me much and didn't tell me the mission directly, but instead give me a new step-by-step task."
"I believe that since I can inform you, they will also guess this much, so I suspect that what I'm revealing to you might also be a trap."
Klein was about to say more when, for some unknown reason, he suddenly stood up, and his eyes glowed red. A pair of long mandibles began to swing, and then he instantly vanished from the camera's view. Less than three seconds later, the sound of things smashing came from outside.
The sound lasted for about a minute, and then Klein walked back into the bedroom, his mandibles twitching around his mouth. Looking at the camera, Klein said, "Mhm... actually, there is one thing I've been hiding from both of you."
Then, Klein revealed everything about him eating people and losing his mind when he smells blood.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it. I truly couldn't help it, especially after knowing you two are Spider-Man and Destiny, I was even more afraid to tell you."
Klein's attitude in the video was extremely sincere. Silas didn't feel much about it, but Peter covered his mouth in astonishment.
"No~ I didn't expect... Klein, he..." Peter never imagined that Teacher Klein would actually eat people! And he would fall into a frenzy just by smelling blood. No wonder the room was a mess—that explained it.
Wait! Klein was alone in the house. How could he have fallen into a frenzy? How could he have smelled blood for no reason?
"Silas, how could Teacher Klein smell blood when he was alone at home?" Peter looked at Silas, full of doubt.
Silas nodded and said, "It looks like there was someone else in the house!"
