Chapter 727 Participating in the Ceremony
"...Today we gather here with those who have influenced us, and I know it's time to say goodbye, but this influence will stay with us for a lifetime... I hope Midtown High School is more than just a starting point in your life. Rather than looking back, let's look forward to the future, and cherish what you have..."
Central High School, the lecture platform.
As Peter was giving his graduation speech, he looked at the empty seats behind him, a slightly sad expression on his face.
In the end, Aunt Meryl Streep was unable to attend the ceremony.
Harry, who was originally a close friend, also left hastily after appearing at the graduation ceremony.
As a member of the now-famous Thunder Special Forces, he is clearly a person from two separate worlds.
The graduation ceremony was met with enthusiastic applause when the principal of Zhongcheng High School delivered the formal graduation address.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Peter also ended his solitary graduation ceremony.
Peter, are you alright?
While celebrating his high school career with his parents, Ned saw Peter standing alone to one side, so he rushed over and asked him a question.
"it does not matter."
Peter shook his head, forced a smile, and said to his high school friend Ned, "Ned, happy graduation."
"Happy Graduation."
In response, seeing the empty space behind Peter, Ned kindly suggested, "We're going to celebrate even further than Peter. You come with us, 183."
"forget it."
Peter opened his mouth to refuse his friend's invitation, but he forced himself to explain, "Aunt May will be here soon, I'll just wait a bit."
"This is...."
"Let's go, don't keep your family waiting."
At Peter's insistence, he and Ned left hastily, promising to meet again during the holidays.
Watching his friend walk away, Peter lowered his head again, looking at the diploma in his hand with great emotion.
“Peter…”
Just as he was feeling disappointed, a familiar figure suddenly appeared behind him. When he turned around, he saw Aunt Mei limping toward him.
"Aunt Mei!"
Upon seeing May Parker at the graduation ceremony, Peter forgot his resentment and rushed over to give her a big hug.
"I'm sorry, Peter, I'm late."
"it does not matter."
Shaking his head and breaking free from May Parker's tight embrace, Peter suddenly noticed the scratches on her arm and asked anxiously, "Aunt May, why do you suddenly have so many wounds on your arm?"
"There was a car accident in New Hyde Park just now. Your aunt was accidentally caught in it, but fortunately she is not in serious danger."
Seeing Peter's confusion, May Parker opened her mouth, about to say something.
An unfamiliar voice appeared and explained to Peter.
Following the direction of the sound, a kind-looking figure wearing glasses appeared before you, standing in front of Peter.
"Happy graduation, Peter."
"Thank you, sir?"
“Clark Kent, I’m a journalist, and a friend of your aunt.”

"Divining the whereabouts of a traveler is not difficult, but choosing the right deity is extremely important. If the worldly element is active, the traveler will return quickly; if the bodyly element is still, the traveler will return late. If the worldly element is empty for ten days, it doesn't necessarily mean the traveler will return soon... To ask where someone is going, carefully observe the location of the five elements... If the earthly element moves from the hour of ...
Brick Street, the basement of the church.
Dr. Strange held the tortoise shell in both hands, shaking it incessantly while muttering incantations.
Each time the coin was inserted, it would make a sound inside the shell, while Doctor Strange's expression remained calm.
Banner silently observed Doctor Strange's strange fortune-telling ritual from the side, with a submissive expression.
In fact, this was not the first time Dr. Strange had engaged in fortune-telling.
Stephen has been pondering this issue ever since he learned about it earlier in the coroner's office, using a ritual to summon a shaman.
However, this process has never been successful.
Whether he uses tarot cards or a crystal ball, Doctor Strange cannot know the exact address of his target.
Since the previous divination methods had yielded no results, Doctor Strange had to change his divination methods and use a method called "six-line divination," which he said was a divination spell from ancient Earth that used tortoise shells and coins to interrogate the gods in order to obtain the results he wanted.
In the basement, after completing the incantation that flowed into his mouth, Doctor Strange shook the turtle shell in his hand and discarded the coin inside.
He then put down the tortoise shell and looked down at the distribution of the copper coins, which had been carefully arranged in terms of their front and back sides.
Under Doctor Strange's emotional influence, Banner subconsciously held his breath, waiting for the result of the divination.
"Qian represents cities, indicating the target is still in New York. Furthermore, from the perspective of the Five Elements, reverse is above and upright is below, suggesting the other party is below New York..."
Based on the results of the divination, Dr. Strange gradually figured out the woman's location.
"Stephen, you might want to take a look at this...."
However, just as Dr. Strange began to rejoice over the results of his Mark Six prediction, Carter suddenly appeared in the basement and handed him the clipboard.
As he reached out and took the tablet Carter handed him, he saw a shaky video being played on the screen, filmed with a cell phone.
"OMG, what is this?"
"Look at the train, that's Spider-Man fighting something..."
Click play, and in the shaky video, you'll see a figure in a red and blue tight-fitting uniform fighting against some black tentacle-like objects, along with an excited scream from the person filming.
Because the video was shot with a mobile phone, the image was not very clear, and the video abruptly ended as the train was moving.
However, even through this blurry image, Doctor Strange was still able to roughly discern a black object fighting Spider-Man, which was clearly a hairy stick shape.
This is the woman Freud referred to as the one who controlled the hair that killed him.
Where did you get this video?
Turning his gaze to the writing board, Dr. Strange looked at Carter standing in front of him and asked.
"This is a video that has just gone viral on the internet."
"..."
Upon hearing Carter's reply, Dr. Strange glanced down at the ongoing hexagram reading in the basement and fell silent.
Chapter 728 Reveals Clues
Brick Street, the basement of the church.
A sharp scream shattered the silence.
Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Doctor Strange and Carter both looked in Banner's direction.
"I didn't say that!"
The latter swallowed hard, looked down at the shriveled head hanging on his belt, and a scream just burst from his mouth.
"So it's alive?"
Stepping forward and lifting his head from Banner's belt, Dr. Strange looked at the clear stitches on her eyelids and mouth and said casually, "Theoretically speaking, she—has always been alive."
"Are you full?"
As an observer, Carter silently repeated what the severed head had just said.
"It wants the corpse?"
The word "full" in English means "completely undamaged," and Carter subconsciously associated it with the condition of the dried-out head itself, as another person's desire for a full body.
Upon hearing Carter's explanation, Banner instinctively touched his neck; he didn't want the choice to fall on his dried-out head.
"You've overlooked the source of the dried hair..."
In response, Doctor Strange offered another perspective.
"In Creole, ful also means death."
Creole is a hybrid language, evolved from Pijin, and is spoken only in some Caribbean countries such as Haiti. The term "dried head" originates from defeated tribal warriors who apparently spoke this language at some point in their lives.
"die."
Carter took Dr. Strange's explanation to heart, turned to look at the ugly, withered head in the other's hand, and said, "Why would she suddenly speak out of nowhere?"
"As an important part of Voodoo rituals, dried human heads possess extremely powerful spirituality; the heads have clearly sensed something or come into contact with some kind of ritual."
As he spoke, Doctor Strange picked up his clipboard.
