Kingpin's double was completely dumbfounded.
This...this guy really isn't your illegitimate son?
Is it really that indulgent?
However, since Kingpin himself had no objections, Lock , as his stand-in, naturally dared not object either, and quickly served him tea and water, attending to him from the side.
Lock , completely ignoring Kingpin's stunt double's secret report, had already plugged the USB drive he got from Norman into Kingpin's computer and started checking the data on it.
There are two reasons why Kingpin's computer must be used.
First, Kingpin computers come with a built-in hacking and blocking device that can crack the password lock of a USB drive and block any boot and location devices that may be present on the USB drive.
Secondly, even if Lock 's signal is unfortunately tracked, at least the trouble will go to Kingpin instead of his own home.
After all, he and Kingpin were friends, and aren't friends meant to be betrayed?
Moreover, even if Osborn Corporation traced Kingpin's IP address, they wouldn't dare to provoke this underground emperor and would have to swallow their anger.
Getting back to the main topic, let's look at the contents of the USB drive.
This document records a project Norman left for Harry, which could potentially cure the Osborn family's hereditary disease.
There are three video files in total.
The first one features Peter wearing a Spider-Man suit on the cover.
When you open the video, it's mostly about Peter transforming into Spider-Man and performing various acts of heroism on the streets of New York.
Fortunately, Peter was cautious enough that the Normans didn't manage to capture his true identity under the suit.
There's not much to see here. Norman just wants Harry to find a way to catch Spider-Man and use him to develop a spider serum to cure Harry's genetic disease.
Next, there's a second video, the cover of which features a blonde woman in a white coat and Norman himself lying in a hospital bed.
Clicking on the video reveals an exceptionally voluptuous blonde woman extracting venom from the same type of super spider that bit Peter.
After extracting the venom, the blonde woman took out Dr. Connors' lizard regeneration serum, and judging from the color depth, it was the failed version that Dr. Connors had injected himself with.
The serum that Norman's secretary was sending to Norman was intercepted by him on the way, so the woman could only have what was left in Dr. Connors's laboratory.
But that's not the point. The point is how this woman combined the super spider venom with the lizard regeneration serum!
He actually poured both failed products into his mouth at once, mixed them in his mouth, and then spat them out!
Lock frowned as he watched this method.
No wonder Norman felt so disgusted after injecting that mixed serum; it turns out the method of making that mixed serum was disgusting in itself!
And this woman is no ordinary person either; she has super spider venom and lizard regeneration serum in her mouth, yet she's completely unharmed!
However, after the woman injected the vomit mixture into Norman's body, Norman, who looked like he was about to die while lying on the hospital bed, actually sat up as if he had a sudden burst of energy!
Indeed, imported medicines are still the best!
Norman spent his entire life searching for ways to alleviate his genetic disease, but nothing matched the 'imported' medicine from that amazing doctor...
At the end of the video, Norman, his face turning from ashen to greyish-green, warned Harry on camera:
This was said to be a last resort, and it should absolutely not be used unless Harry's condition reached its final stage!
If this method is necessary to prolong life, then Harry should go to the blonde female doctor who made the potion before.
He left some of the super spider venom and lizard regeneration serum with the doctor, enough to make some more remedies...
And that blonde female doctor's name is... Ophelia Sarkissian!
At the end of the video, when Lock heard Norman say that name, he couldn't help but gasp.
No wonder he thought the woman with big waves in the video looked familiar; it turns out she was the infamous Lady Viper from Hydra!
Tsk, I didn't expect Norman to be connected with Hydra. What a nuisance...
However, even Hydra might not be able to find any clues pointing to themselves in the ruins of Osborne Manor.
Moreover, Norman and Hydra are probably just partners, and even if Hydra does find out something, they might not offend him for it.
After all, the name "Poison Spider" still carries some weight in the underworld...
He shook his head, no longer thinking about the future of Hydra, and clicked on the third video, which was also the last one.
The third video is labeled as unknown, and its cover image is a photo of someone inside a space capsule.
Clicking on the video, it turned out to be a video filmed in space.
In the video, besides the astronaut filming, there are two other astronauts giving introductions.
They first introduced themselves as being from the 'Life Foundation', and then explained that they had traveled to space aboard the Life Foundation's LF1 spacecraft to collect a life sample from an alien meteorite floating outside Earth.
The two then showed the camera four biological samples they had collected from the meteorite.
Those were different colored, fluid-like life forms placed in four separate isolation chambers...
They are the largest silver-gray fluid-like life form, the slightly smaller purple and yellow fluid-like life forms, and finally the smallest black fluid-like life form.
According to two space researchers, they conducted simple experiments on this life form.
They discovered that while these animals showed no interest in Earth's plants, they were very interested in the various animals they brought into space, and would parasitize those animals.
Their parasitism has both advantages and disadvantages.
The benefit is that the parasitized animal experiences a significant increase in various bodily functions, such as strength, speed, reaction time, and regenerative abilities.
However, the downsides are also obvious: the parasitized creatures not only become abnormally irritable and aggressive, but also...
Furthermore, this parasitic period cannot last long; the parasitized host will soon be drained of its life force and die.
Once the host dies, the parasite will leave the deceased host, and as time goes by, it will also begin to weaken.
Therefore, they speculate that this parasite cannot survive on its own for long periods of time and must live in symbiosis with a host to survive.
Therefore, they temporarily named them...symbiotes!
Because they don't have many animals left on their spaceship to feed the symbiote, they are preparing to return to Earth to take it back for further research.
It was expected to arrive on Earth on December 25, 2008.
Lock raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that Christmas next week?"
So this is a Christmas gift specially prepared for me?
Lock slowly smiled, his eyes fixed on the symbiote in the video. For the first time, something other than money and desire stirred a burning passion within him.
