Chapter 27 Sheriff Stacy, Morally Blackmailed
Chapter 27 Sheriff Stacy, Morally Blackmailed
Clearly, neither the lizardmen nor the floor of this haunted house could withstand Toby's outrageous power!
The lizardman knew it couldn't continue like this, or its head would be crushed by the other side sooner or later!
Therefore, the lizardman's eyes hardened, and risking that Toby's foot would press down further, he quietly flicked out his huge tail from behind and circled behind Toby, preparing to launch a fatal attack!
Sheriff Stacy, suspended from the ceiling with an excellent view, witnessed this scene clearly and immediately shouted, "Spider-Man, watch out behind you!"
Swoosh—
Even with Sheriff Stacy's warning, an ordinary person would probably not have had time to dodge the lizardman's sword-like tail attack!
But coincidentally, Toby isn't a normal person.
Without turning his head, he reached out and precisely grabbed the tip of the tail that was piercing the back of his head, preventing it from advancing any further!
In reality, even without Sheriff Stacy's warning, the lizardman's little tricks wouldn't have escaped his enhanced spider-sense.
Toby continued to increase the pressure on his leg while pulling the lizardman's tail in front of him, and sneered:
"Little lizard, do you think having an extra tail gives you a better chance to turn the tables?"
"Then... what if I do this?"
As Toby asked the question, he placed his other hand on the lizardman's thick tail, and then began to exert force with both hands at the same time!
As Toby's tiny barbs embedded themselves into the lizardman's tail, the skin and muscles of the lizardman's tail began to separate, blood began to splatter, until finally Toby violently tore it in two!
The intense pain from his tail caused the lizardman's body to lose strength instantly, making him unable to withstand Toby's heavy, hydraulic-like foot!
Click—
With a snapping sound, Toby's foot broke the lizardman's arms, and his foot almost sank into the lizardman's chest!
Even the relizardmen, with their strong vitality, were weakened by this fatal wound and pain.
Even its severed tail and arms, as well as the deep paw prints on its chest, were slowly recovering...
Seeing this, Toby calmly withdrew his foot and casually tossed away the lizardman's severed tail.
He thought to himself, "It seems that the lizardmen's self-healing ability has an upper limit. Continuous damage and severe injuries will quickly and greatly consume the medicinal power of the regeneration serum, so they cannot heal indefinitely."
Toby sighed inwardly. Dr. Connors's lizard regeneration serum was too scientific; it couldn't compare to the unscientific healing abilities of Wolverine and Deadpool at all...
This is why Toby, despite having far superior stats in every aspect compared to the Lizardman, didn't instantly kill him from the start.
Because he wanted to test the limits of the lizardman's self-healing.
It now appears that lizard regeneration serum still has many areas for improvement, both in terms of side effects and efficacy...
And who knows better than the Lizardman himself how to optimize the Lizard Regeneration Serum?
So when Toby saw that the lizard's body was shrinking and about to turn back into Dr. Connors, he quickly wrapped it up in spider silk, then hoisted it onto his shoulder, ready to take it away.
Seeing Toby about to leave with the lizard man, Sheriff Stacy, who was hanging from the ceiling, quickly called out to him:
"Hey! Spider-Man, you can't take it! It's a wanted criminal by the NYPD and needs to be detained and tried by the police!"
"This is illegal!"
Upon hearing this, Toby stopped and turned his head to ask calmly:
"Illegal activity?"
"Sheriff Stacy, do you really think your department can keep the lizardman under control even if I leave him here?"
"Don't be silly. You should know very well that the police can't hold the lizard man in. All you can do is let him escape from prison again and again, and kill more innocent people."
"So for your own sake, for your family's sake, and even more so for the millions of innocent police officers and civilians, please hand it over to someone who truly can keep an eye on it, okay?"
It must be said that Toby's tactic of moral blackmail was very effective on Sheriff Stacy, who has a very high sense of morality.
Sheriff Stacy considered the serious consequences Toby mentioned, such as if the police department failed to keep an eye on the lizardmen, and ultimately compromised.
Sheriff Stacy sighed. "Well, can you guarantee that under your watchful eye, it won't come out and harm innocent people again?"
Toby nodded slightly. "I assure you."
Sheriff Stacy breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay, I believe you!"
Having fooled Sheriff Stacy, Toby stopped talking and was about to leave with the lizardman when Sheriff Stacy called him back.
"Hey, wait a minute, at least put me down first, okay?"
To this, Toby shrugged: "Sorry, Sheriff, my spider silk is several times stronger than steel wire, equivalent to high-strength alloy steel. I don't have any special dissolving solution on hand, so you'd better hang there a little longer. The spider silk will dissolve automatically in about two hours."
Sheriff Stacy's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Toby's retreating figure. "What? Two hours? Are you kidding me? I still have my duty to do!"
Toby waved with his back to Sheriff Stacy: "Don't mention it, consider it my invitation for you, my dutiful sheriff, to take a lunch break. Bye~"
After saying that, Toby carried the lizardman onto the roof and swung away on his webs.
On the way back, Toby even managed to free one hand to send Gwen a text message.
Tell her that her father is alright, but that he needs to leave for a while and lock the lizardman in his own home.
As for how Toby managed to carry the lizardman with one hand, swing on spider silk with the other, and still send a text message with the other, Toby said that he could have just wrapped the lizardman around his back with spider silk.
Swinging on his web, Toby traveled through the city at a speed comparable to flying, so it didn't take him long to reach his home in Queens.
He had already hacked into and controlled the surveillance cameras near his house, so Toby wasn't afraid of being filmed. He landed, crawled into his room through the window, and did it all in one smooth motion.
After he put down the lizardman who was wrapped up like a dumpling, and used a special dissolving solution to dissolve the spider silk on the lizardman's body, unsurprisingly, the lizardman had already turned back into Dr. Connors' appearance.
That's right, he lied to Sheriff Stacy. In reality, he carried spider silk dissolving fluid, but he just wanted his girlfriend's father to hang there a little longer.
He glanced at Dr. Connors, who was lying on the ground in a deep sleep.
The injuries he had sustained in his lizardman form were now fully healed before he returned to human form.
If he doesn't recover, Toby is afraid that Dr. Connors won't be able to withstand such severe injuries and will just die right here.
Toby shot out two more strands of spider silk from his hands, binding Dr. Connors's legs and one arm. After putting on a set of casual clothes, he left his room and opened the door to Peter's room next door.
As expected, Peter was fast asleep this morning after applying medicine, still recovering from the beating he received from the lizardmen the night before.
No wonder we only saw the Lizard Man being chased by police cars this time, and not Spider-Man.
It even made Sheriff Stacy mistake herself for Spider-Man in the dim light.
Snap snap snap ————
Toby reached out and patted Peter's cheek, ruthlessly interrupting Peter's sweet dream.
Peter rubbed his sleepy eyes and, seeing it was Toby, instinctively asked, "Toby? What's wrong? Is it evening? I thought you weren't coming back tonight because of your date with Gwen..."
