What Arthur remembered was actually a small detail!
Peter’s camera!
In the movie, when Peter went to find the Lizard, he had fixed his camera to the wall, waiting to take a picture of the Lizard.
As a result, not only did Peter get washed away through the sewers after the fight with the Lizard, but the camera was also left behind.
Later, the Lizard discovers the name on the camera and realizes that Peter is Spider-Man, which leads to the incident at school.
Now, since it was just Arthur and Peter acting together, the camera wasn’t brought along.
And since Peter wasn’t washed away through the sewers, but the Lizard had fled in a panic instead, the result was that the Lizard, who was supposed to appear at the school, could no longer be found there.
As the saying goes: “Details make the difference between success and failure!”
Arthur sighed, realizing that he had overlooked this detail, resulting in the waste of an entire afternoon.
The only gain was meeting Gwen… but what was the point of that? He feared that he would be fed even more “dog food” in the future.
Back in the lab, he continued his research, which progressed so slowly that Arthur was tempted to give up.
Finally, when the time was right and he was planning to find Spider-Man to stretch his legs, he received a call from Spider-Man.
“Hey! I think I know what the Lizard is up to!”
Spider-Man’s voice was very urgent as if he were in the middle of some intense activity. Arthur could even hear gunshots over the phone.
Arthur was shocked: “What do you mean, you know? What happened this afternoon that I don’t know about?”
“He came to the school… and he recognized my identity.”
Peter’s voice was intermittent, the sound of gunshots and screams mixed through the receiver: “I’m being held by the police, and Gwen went to the Osbourne Group to get an antidote. You have to help me, go to the rescue…”
The call was abruptly cut off!
“What the hell?”
Arthur immediately got up, grabbed his coat, and rushed out of the lab.
Banner, holding a large dinner, looked at Arthur with a stunned expression.
“Eat your own dinner. I have to go out,” Arthur said hastily before disappearing.
Banner looked at the food in his hands and sighed deeply: “If you ever mention that I’m fat again, I’ll get the Hulk to beat you up!”
…
…
But when Arthur reached the door, he was at a loss for words.
He wasn’t sure what to do next.
He knew where the OsCorp Industries was, but he didn’t know how to get there!
He didn’t know the way!
Even if he did, he couldn’t just run there, could he?
By the time he got there, the food would be cold…
It wasn’t that he was worried about Gwen getting into trouble since the Lizard seemed to be quite friendly towards her in the movie.
He was mostly worried about missing Spider-Man’s fight with the Lizard!
If he arrived only to find that the Lizard had already been captured by the police, his plan to persuade the Lizard to help him with his research would be completely ruined.
Yes, this wasn’t a joke – Arthur really thought so!
Besides, Arthur didn’t think it would be too difficult, although the Lizard’s mental state might be the biggest obstacle.
Standing in front of the door and staring blankly for a while, Arthur flagged down a taxi in frustration.
“Hey, buddy, where you headed?”
A young black man with an afro asked as he rolled down the window.
The young man looked at Arthur in surprise, seeing him in a black trench coat, mask, and wide-brimmed hat.
Arthur got into the cab and said, “I’m going to the Osbourne Group!”
“Instructor?”
The afro-haired young man looked at Arthur several times through the rear-view mirror before saying, “I didn’t expect a hero like you to take a cab! Why are you going to see the OsCorp Industry? I just heard on the radio that it’s very dangerous over there right now. By the way, you must be in a hurry.”
Arthur was a little shocked; this guy’s mouth was as talkative as Peter Parker’s!
He didn’t have time to wonder why his reputation seemed to be known by everyone on the street: “How long does it take to get from here to the OsCorp Industry?”
“Ten minutes…”
“Hmm… ah?”
Arthur didn’t catch that, and the next second, the powerful acceleration threw him back into the seat, and a tremendous force hit him head-on.
At that moment, the car’s speed was almost pushed to the limit!
Arthur was stunned and quickly grabbed the seat belt. This was like a scene straight out of the movie “Fast and Furious”!
And what was it about this car that made it feel like it had been shot out of a rocket?
It didn’t stop there; the young driver’s street navigation skills were top-notch, and it was as if he knew every street and alley in New York like his own backyard.
No matter what kind of street it was, he maneuvered through it effortlessly!
With driving skills like that, even if Arthur disassembled several cars, he probably couldn’t reach this level!
In the end, it didn’t even take ten minutes – just five, and the car came to a stop.
The road ahead was blocked by heavy traffic. Unless the driver could make the car fly, they couldn’t get through.
Arthur got out of the car to find that all four wheels were smoking. He quickly paid the driver and said, “Keep the change!”
Then he fled quickly…afraid he might throw up in front of the driver if he stayed any longer.
The driver leaned out and called after him, “What change? You still owe me two dollars!”
Arthur pretended not to hear and vowed never to take a cab in New York again!
These seemingly normal drivers all had an unusually wild spirit!
Looking at the blocked street, Arthur felt that he couldn’t get through.
After thinking for two seconds, he quickly walked to a nearby building. The street was chaotic, and no one noticed him.
Looking up, he disappeared the next moment. When he reappeared, he was already five meters in the air, just a flash, and then he reappeared… another five meters!
In the previous battle, he had tried to cross directly into the air and kicked the Lizard.
So, theoretically, it was possible to continuously cross over and climb into the air!
Now that he was officially practicing, he could actually do it!
“Humans are beings who shines the best when they are pushed to their limits!!!”
Arthur shouted softly, his body flashing like a flickering light bulb.
In less than a minute, Arthur had reached the rooftop.
“This feeling…”
Standing on the edge of the roof, Arthur couldn’t believe he had made it: “It feels great!”
He took a deep breath and looked towards the OsCorp Industry. After a two-step run-up, he leaped into the air, his form flashing and disappearing, then reappearing ten meters away and disappearing again…
Like walking on air!
