Chapter 920 Spider-Man will be defeated twice by the same move.
"In just a few months after Tony Stark announced the public release of the Arc Reactor technology, the number of crimes related to high-tech armor worldwide increased by more than 4000%."
As Peter walked into Midtown High School, he heard the school's "simulated news channel" reporting on the latest crime trends, which reminded him of what had happened that morning.
He paused for a moment, then suddenly realized a problem: where did this 4000% figure come from? Before Tony revealed the technology, apart from Russia having an older version of the Arc Reactor technology to power the Crimson Jaeger, hadn't all the other armored villains already been killed by Tony?
"Theoretically, the number of times it doubles should be an infinite number of times zero, or even infinite."
"Peter?"
Harry walked over, saw Peter looking up at the news, and glanced at the news himself: "What happened?"
"No, it's nothing. On my way to school, I saw Spider-Man grab five armored vehicles and a group of mercenaries. Their leader was wearing something like that and robbed a bank—or maybe he stole a suit of Iron Man armor from the bank?"
Still preoccupied with Gwen's situation last night, Peter finally realized the problem with this morning's case: if five armored vehicles and a half-finished Iron Man suit were only for robbing a bank, it seemed like making a mountain out of a molehill. But if the armored vehicles were for robbing the half-finished Iron Man suit—
Who would keep their Iron Man armor in a bank?!
Realizing this, Peter took out his Avengers-specific phone and sent a message to Tony. Tony was in charge of the armored warfare aspect, so it was only natural that he needed to inform him.
Harry didn't realize the inconsistency, since he hadn't witnessed the battle. He simply nodded and said "Oh," then waited for Peter to put away his bag before going to the classroom with him.
"Oh, by the way, did you know? Amadeus isn't coming to school today. Apparently, Hercules dragged him away to do chores again."
"Yes, I saw it."
Peter was still very puzzled after he finished speaking: "I have no idea what they're busy with. Can you believe it? A mythical superhero says he's saving the world every day, but the Avengers have no idea what he's doing. It's really mysterious."
"Who knows, and the worst part is that Amadeus won't tell us what happened." Harry sighed. "By the time you go on your secret mission and Amadeus gets captured by Hercules, I'll be all alone in New York, Peter."
"It's okay, I believe you'll be fine."
After the two entered the classroom, they saw that their usual back row was still empty, so they sat down one in front of the other. Peter took out his phone and started scrolling. Gwen hadn't messaged him since last night; perhaps—maybe—it was because of awkwardness.
Peter was scrolling through his phone when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He glanced around and then thought of something else.
Now that things have progressed further with Gwen, Cindy shouldn't keep him hanging on, but it seems she can't say this over the phone or on social media either, as it would seem like she's ignoring him.
So Peter encountered another entirely new problem, which was—
Cindy didn't come to school again today.
Peter remained silent for a long time, lost in thought. Only after the first class ended did he confirm that Cindy truly hadn't come. Then he realized something might be amiss: Cindy could sense Peter's presence, not just his location, but also his physical state. If that was the case, then what happened last night—
Peter's expression suddenly turned strange, and Harry, who was behind him, noticed that Peter's expression was a bit off, so he asked, "What's wrong, Peter? Is something the matter?"
"No, it's nothing, it's nothing—"
After a long period of agonizing thought, Peter finally messaged Cindy to ask why she hadn't come to school. Peter then saw over a dozen messages that had been sent and then deleted; Cindy's reply was still "moving." But she added an extra message: the moving would be finished today, and if possible, she hoped Peter could come to her house today.
Peter fell into a long silence, then let out a long sigh, stared at the ceiling for a while, and before Harry thought he was acting crazy again, he replied to Cindy with a "Okay".
Gwen didn't message Peter all day or ask him out, so Peter went to Cindy's house after school. Now only Cindy lives there; her family, whether real or LMD, are gone.
Peter sighed helplessly after hearing this, and then suddenly thought of something absurd: Cindy had originally planned to invite him on his last day before leaving, could it be that she was going to do what Gwen had done last night?
Really? Cindy should be a pretty well-behaved girl, right?
Peter muttered something and knocked on the door. Cindy quickly opened the door and beckoned Peter in: "They—moved a lot of things. You know, it's a move, and whether it's really them or not, their things have to be moved."
This means that many of Cindy's parents' and brother's personal belongings were taken away, leaving the house literally empty.
Peter was at a loss for words for a moment, and after stammering for a while, he finally spoke: "Then how about your daily life? It's alright, I can take care of my daily life myself. I made dinner, do you want some?"
After thinking for a moment, Peter said, "I'll talk to my family," and then looked down to start texting Uncle Ben.
He had barely pressed the send button when he felt someone hug him from behind and press against him.
"Cindy? I need to tell you about Gwen and me—"

"I know."
Cindy interrupted Peter with just one sentence, leaving him speechless once again. He could only let Cindy hold him and wait for her to continue.
"Remember what I told you? I don't know if my parents and my brother are real. I don't know if every phone call I make with them is a conversation with them or with a machine. All I can feel is that you are real."
"That's why I don't care about any of that. Just... don't reject me, okay?"
Peter still wanted to say that perhaps this was not the right thing to do.
"But—but—I can't—"
"I can explain to Gwen Stacy that I forced you."
Cindy's gaze was firm, yet pleading as she looked at Peter: "Please don't reject me, okay?"
