Hearing Meng Ran's question, Gwen sorted out her thoughts and began to recount.
This incident happened during the summer vacation.
That day, Gwen went out with her family. They visited many places, tasted a lot of delicious food, and also took her younger siblings to some museums and the Science and Technology Museum.
Because it was a rare family outing, Gwen had a lot of fun. George, as the police chief, was always busy, and opportunities to play with his family were not many.
That night, after returning home, Gwen went to take a bath and suddenly found a small wound on her neck, slightly red and swollen.
Gwen didn't pay attention at the time, thinking it was a mosquito bite.
However, after falling asleep that night, Gwen felt her whole body burning up, like a cooked shrimp, hot and scalding.
Her head was also muddled, completely turned into a paste, and the dizziness made her want to vomit, but she couldn't, no matter what.
Gwen couldn't call out to her family and unconsciously tossed and turned in bed, suffering all night.
She only slowly regained consciousness the next morning.
Upon regaining consciousness, Gwen found that her room had become a mess. Her bed and clothes were soaked with her sweat, emitting a sour smell.
The tables and chairs in the room were somehow broken into pieces, and spider webs appeared on the walls of the room from who knows where.
Gwen didn't know how to explain the strange state of the room to her family, so she quickly cleaned it up to avoid being discovered by them.
Gwen changed the bedsheets and duvet covers to new ones, not bothering to think too much about the room's strangeness, and threw away all the broken chairs and spider webs.
The table was too big to handle, so she had to explain to her family that its quality wasn't good and it was time for a new one.
After everything was tidied up, Gwen locked herself in her room to carefully ponder these anomalies.
Gwen stripped off her clothes and thoroughly checked herself in the bathroom, finding that the wound on her neck had disappeared.
Also, her figure had become better, and she had grown taller.
"Your figure was already quite good," Meng Ran suddenly interjected.
"Don't interrupt. Besides, you don't know what I looked like before," Gwen shot Meng Ran a glare.
Meng Ran could only shut up and stop talking.
After taking a shower, Gwen discovered that her strength was also growing.
When she first woke up that morning, she still felt weak and sore.
However, as time went on, she found that her body's strength not only returned to normal but also became stronger and stronger, even exaggeratedly so.
She tried to lift the bed, but she didn't control her strength well and almost sent the bed to the ceiling.
This directly scared her into standing still on the ground, not daring to move. She didn't dare to touch those things, nor did she dare to contact her family, fearing that she might accidentally hurt them.
She could only claim to be busy with homework, asking her family to leave food at her door, and then she tried to control her strength in her room.
It took her two days to finally control her strength, allowing her to move normally in daily life, but she couldn't get emotional.
It was also fortunate that it only took two days; otherwise, her family would have started to worry if she was sick or had some psychological problem.
Finally, Gwen, who slowly overcame her strength problem, discovered another issue after stepping out of her room.
Her senses became extremely acute; every tiny sound could not escape her ears, and she could clearly see the trajectories of fast-moving objects.
Before, when she was in her room, her attention was focused on her strength, and there was no sound in the room, so she hadn't realized it yet.
After that, Gwen spent a few more days controlling her senses, trying to ignore those invalid and cluttered messages to reduce her burden.
In the time that followed, Gwen made new discoveries every day, spending each day getting used to and controlling her abilities.
One time, George came to look for Gwen, but after opening the door, he didn't find her, but Gwen was actually sitting by the bed, which made Gwen discover her Ghost Stealth.
Another time, when she entered the room, she was thinking about a problem, and when she came back to her senses, she found herself standing on the roof.
There were many such instances, and in the end, after some unexpected events, she discovered her other abilities.
For example, shooting spider webs from her wrists, Ghost Warning, and her own venom.
After gaining her abilities, Gwen continued to live as usual.
It wasn't until the appearance of the Ghoul that Gwen was somewhat moved, wondering if she could also use her abilities to fight crime.
But at that time, she was only somewhat moved. It wasn't until later, when the Ghoul judged Ur, and the internet was in an uproar, that Gwen suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for this lonely pursuer of justice.
At that time, Gwen decided to join the path of upholding justice, and at the same time, she wanted to tell the Ghoul that it was actually possible not to be so extreme.
Determined, Gwen found Mary Jane, because her computer skills were very high and she could provide Gwen with a lot of help.
So, at Gwen's invitation, Mary Jane joined her team.
The Ghost Spider's battle suit also drew inspiration from the Ghoul's battle suit, such as the hood. Gwen also felt that a bare head was a bit ugly.
After listening to Gwen's narration, Meng Ran first affirmed, "A bare head without a hood is indeed very ugly."
Then he seemed to remember something and asked in surprise, "You also have venom?"
Because the Venom's possession does not necessarily copy all abilities, especially for a target like Gwen who has many abilities, Meng Ran also didn't know all of Gwen's abilities.
He knew that Gwen had the ability to shoot webs, but he really didn't know about the venom; he hadn't felt it during their previous encounter.
Gwen replied, "Yes, a neurotoxin. Although it's not fatal, it can quickly incapacitate people."
"I haven't used it many times either."
"I currently mainly release it through my fingernails and palms."
"As for whether the venom's power will increase in the future, I'm not entirely sure right now."
After listening to Gwen's explanation, Meng Ran was still a bit puzzled: "Then why didn't you use it when we fought last time? Why didn't I feel anything?"
Gwen also showed a helpless expression upon hearing this: "I also want to know why it didn't work. Of course, I used the venom, but you didn't seem to be affected."
Meng Ran suddenly realized upon hearing this, that it must have been the Venom's doing. Thinking of this, Meng Ran asked the Venom, "Why didn't you tell me last time?"
The Venom, hearing Meng Ran's words, blinked its eyes, looking utterly confused and said, "Ah, I... I didn't feel anything!"
"Hmm?~" Meng Ran and Gwen tilted their heads, looking at the Venom.
The Venom blinked its eyes again, and one hand humanly rubbed its chin.
After thinking for a moment, the Venom suddenly said, "Oh! I remember now, you mean that thing? I didn't feel any threat at the time, so I didn't say anything. I forgot about it afterward."
"To be honest, it tasted a bit better than gunpowder, but there was only a little bit, and I didn't get to taste much mmm mmm mmm."
Before the Venom could finish speaking, its mouth was covered by Meng Ran.
Meng Ran laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, haha, it's nothing, I feel that venom definitely still has room for improvement."
Gwen looked at Meng Ran and the Venom, unable to help but laugh, "Why are you so nervous? I don't mind. Although the venom is useless against you, it's still very effective against others."
Meng Ran nodded and said, "That's true, but you still can't be careless. Although we both have abilities beyond ordinary people, we still need to be cautious, after all, life is only once."
"And I don't want you to get hurt; that would break my heart."
Gwen listened to Meng Ran's previous words and nodded in agreement.
Although the black man didn't hurt her today, it was indeed careless not to disarm him. This carelessness wouldn't cost her life, but what about next time? It's better to be cautious.
But hearing Meng Ran say that he would feel heartache, Gwen couldn't help but blush again, turning her head to glare at Meng Ran playfully.
"Smooth talker, and you still say Venom didn't learn bad habits from you."
Meng Ran just chuckled upon hearing this.
"Oh, by the way, this is a gift for you," Meng Ran suddenly said, then took out a small black sphere.
The sphere looked like a solid ball, but one could also see water-like ripples undulating on its surface.
Gwen asked curiously, "What is this?"
Meng Ran explained to Gwen, "This is a high-tech product. After binding, it can transform into whatever you want, like a battle suit."
"Normally, it's hidden inside your body, and when you need it, it will cover your whole body. It's very convenient and has strong defensive capabilities."
"Basically, some bullets of ordinary power and cold weapons will not cause you any harm."
"If it's a machine gun, you might get some minor injuries, but it still won't penetrate it."
"If it's a rocket launcher, I suggest you still dodge it."
Gwen's eyes widened upon hearing Meng Ran's introduction, and she said in surprise, "This is too amazing!"
Meng Ran nodded and continued, "The identification method requires you to drip a drop of blood on it. It's like a genetic lock; no one else can use it except you."
Gwen echoed, "I know this. I've read Chinese novels online where magic artifacts are used this way."
Meng Ran was speechless: "Uh, you could say that."
"The explanation is complete. Let's try it," Meng Ran handed the sphere to Gwen, then prepared to begin the operation.
This sphere was exchanged by Meng Ran from the mall, and it belonged to the same type as the one on him, but because that one was a system reward, its quality was a bit higher.
But he didn't expect Gwen to shake her head and hand the sphere back.
Gwen said softly, "Forgive me, I cannot accept this, Meng. This is too valuable."
Meng Ran looked at the serious-faced Gwen and smiled gently, "You were scared by what I said. Actually, it's not valuable at all. I have many of these things."
"And I've always wanted to make up for my mistakes. If you don't accept it, I'll feel guilty."
Gwen still wanted to say something to refuse, but seeing Meng Ran's persistent look, she could only say, "Alright then."
Immediately, she also showed a happy smile: "Thank you! Meng, even though you said that, I know it's definitely not as cheap as you say. It's really useful."
Meng Ran looked at Gwen and smiled slyly, "Saying thank you is too formal. Just give me a kiss."
After saying that, Meng Ran turned his face towards Gwen.
Gwen's face turned into a red apple upon hearing this.
Then, after a moment of hesitation, she lightly kissed Meng Ran on the cheek.
Feeling the soft touch on his face, Meng Ran smiled so widely he couldn't close his mouth.
Gwen, on the other hand, hummed and turned around, pretending to look at the night scenery, not wanting Meng Ran to see her shy expression.
Meng Ran chuckled and walked over to stand beside Gwen.
Under the black night sky, the two looked at the distant sky together, their bodies unconsciously drawing closer and closer.
