As he watched the van drive further and further away, Peter did not leave immediately. He looked around at the deserted streets, and then tentatively called:

"Barbie? Little Spider? Pink Snitch? Unicorn..."

Before Peter could finish speaking, an unhappy voice came from the edge of the street.

"Don't give others random nicknames! And don't call them so affectionately!"

Along with the complaints, there were two more spider threads. Peter easily dodged it, his face became a little more solemn. The two spider threads just now were not just shot by Gwen at will because she was unhappy. She was

I really want to tie myself up.

As expected, Gwen did not show up immediately. She hid in the shadows and cast out a few threads of spider silk from time to time.

Peter really couldn't figure out what reason Gwen had for attacking at this moment, so he could only growl:

"You actually used the power I lent you to attack me?!"

As soon as these words came out, Gwen's attack immediately stopped, and she said apologetically:

"That's not what I meant, I just...well...this isn't the first time I messed up anyway..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gwen appeared. She stood on the roadside with her head lowered. She rubbed her head in annoyance, as if she was having some kind of fierce struggle in her heart.

If it weren't for Gwen's behavior being so abnormal, Peter would even find Gwen's appearance quite interesting.

However, retribution came so quickly. After struggling for a few minutes, Gwen finally made up her mind. Her first words immediately caused Peter's brain to shut down instantly.

"Who...are you?"

Did she guess it?!

Peter's first reaction was to run away quickly, but fortunately he had not lost his mind yet. After forcibly suppressing the idea of ​​​​escape, he took a deep breath and tried to enter the character of Batman.

"I thought there was a tacit understanding between us that we would not explore each other's secret identities."

"You can put this sentence in your next personal issue, but what I want to say is that you were the first to break this tacit understanding. Have you already mastered my identity?"

Fortunately...she didn't doubt her identity, she was just worried that her identity would be exposed.

But Peter did not relax.

"Why do you say that?"

Peter's past instructors often said that answering questions with questions was a coward's move, but it was particularly useful for delaying time, and Gwen took the bait.

"That Chief George Stacey..."

Gwen carefully organized her words to avoid revealing more information.

"The conversation you had with him was too specific. Do you already know the relationship between me and him?"

Sure enough, the rhetoric at that time exposed it...

It's a pity that I was too involved in the drama at that time and didn't think much about it. I just enjoyed the pleasure of teasing the other party's daughter in front of the father without the other party knowing about it, but the retribution came too quickly.

There is no way he can deceive Gwen by making up a set of arguments. He doesn't want to reveal his identity in front of Gwen, at least not now, but he still needs to buy some time if he wants to make up a set of logical arguments.

Peter desperately recalled the way Batman faced questioning in the comics, and suddenly had inspiration.

Just when Gwen couldn't help but want to take action, Peter slowly spoke.

"So you didn't follow my instructions to leave, but ran back to the scene? Don't you know that your behavior will completely fail my plan? Why do you think I confronted the police?"

"Well..."

Gwen felt weak for a moment, and she could only retort in a low voice:

"I'm just worried about you. I can't leave you alone..."

What a good boy, but it's a pity...

Peter apologized in his heart, and then said sternly:

"This is not concern, but distrust of me! You should strictly implement the plan I arranged. If you are discovered today, it will be a complete disaster for you, me and Diane!"

Gwen took a step back after being yelled at, and lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake.

And Peter finally compiled a set of reasonable rhetoric, and then he sighed at the right time and sighed in a low voice:

"You're not ready yet."

After hearing these words, Gwen raised her head reflexively, her expression showing a little pain. Just when she was about to refute, Peter spoke again:

"I have indeed grasped your identity, just the day after I met you. It is not difficult. I only need to check recent newspapers."

"This...how is this possible!"

Gwen finally found a chance to fight back at this time. She took a few steps forward and approached Peter, but Peter did not take a step back. He sneered with a little contempt:

"This is much easier than you think. I'm even curious why no one has found out your identity after so long."

In order to prove his statement, Peter simply reasoned directly in front of Gwen.

"Since you started heroic action, your scope of activities has been within New York City. You have never set foot in other countries and cities.

Judging from the way you move, your "three-dimensional mobile device" alone is not enough to support your daily commute between the two cities.

So I am absolutely certain that your long-term residence must be in New York City."

After speaking, Peter looked at Gwen as if asking for confirmation, and Gwen nodded honestly, and Peter continued:

"After comparing your heroic activity times in the newspaper, I quickly discovered that although the time when you perform heroic actions is not very fixed, the time when you do not perform heroic actions is very stable.

Basically, they are concentrated from 9 am to 12 am, and from 1 pm to 3 pm.

This time is almost unbeatable, with the exception of weekends and individual holidays."

Gwen's body stiffened suddenly after hearing this. She had already noticed Peter's thoughts.

"If you are not a freelancer, then this kind of schedule can basically rule out that you are an office worker, but you still have an unshakable schedule, so as long as you combine the time when you cannot perform heroic activities, guess what I will get

What?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Gwen remained silent.

"A curriculum, school starts at nine in the morning, lunch break at twelve noon, school ends at three in the afternoon, and then there are various student holidays."

Although he already knew the results and then worked backwards to create reasoning ideas, Peter also exhausted his brain cells.

He just hoped that he could survive this time. Seeing that Gwen had completely accepted his statement, he quickly continued to complete the "reasoning" while the iron was hot.

"Although there are many schools around here, you probably won't go to a public school. Judging from the food and clothes you provided us in the safe house, your family should be quite wealthy, at least a middle-class family.

But your tutor is very strict, and the pocket money he gives you is very limited. You actually bought a few hamburgers and ran out of money."

That's not because Diane is so good at eating! Gwen felt that her fist was a little hard, but the next second she relaxed her fist.

"Actually, I needed more effort to compare the slight differences between the school's class time and your activity time to find you, but the Peter Parker incident directly pointed the direction for me.

Because the whole incident is so abnormal, I really can’t imagine why you would go to school to kill a high school student, so there must be something hidden in it..."

The reasoning is not over yet. As long as Peter continues to follow this clue, he can reasonably explain how he deduced Gwen's identity and relieve the other party's suspicion.

But Peter kept his mouth shut because he noticed the abnormality of Gwen's condition.

"Do you still need me to continue?"

Peter's question made Gwen recover. She glanced at Peter blankly, and then nodded slightly abnormally.

This doesn't feel right.

Peter did not continue reasoning because of Gwen's permission, but Gwen continued Peter's reasoning:

"So I must be a student of that school. As long as you compare the student list, you can filter out my identity based on attendance time and family status.

Or more simply... find clues from... the dead student, right?"

Peter didn't answer. He approached Gwen and wanted to stop her from continuing this meaningless reasoning, but Gwen obviously didn't want to stop.

"You really played Batman very well, or should I call you COS Man?"

"Ghost Spider-Man..."

"Have you not investigated my identity clearly? I think you can call me by another name."

Peter suddenly regretted it. He felt that he was making a mistake that was getting bigger and bigger. At this time, he no longer knew how to end it. After a long silence, he had no choice but to read her name as if he were compromising.

"Gwen..."

The moment she heard her name, Gwen felt as if she had been hit hard. Her body trembled, but she soon recovered. She grinned and laughed at herself:

"This is more painful than I thought. It seems that I have to apologize for directly exposing Bruce Wayne's identity before."

Then she looked at Peter who was silent and smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little scared... a little... overwhelmed..."

"Gwen, I understand that exposing your identity is indeed a dangerous thing. I can assure you that I will not reveal any identity to anyone, and you can trust me on this."

Peter really can't think of any words that can comfort the other party, at least in this capacity, so he can only make a guarantee.
