Harry recognized the figure being carried, eyes closed. It was his father, Norman Osborn.
Harry glared at the people in front of him, and said sternly, "What did you do to my dad? Put him down!"
Meng Ran looked at Harry, who was anxious and confused, and with a thought, revealed his face.
Following that, Peter and Gwen also revealed their true appearances.
Meng Ran said in a low voice to Harry, "Harry, we have something to tell you about Uncle Norman."
Harry looked at the three people in front of him, and his eyes widened immediately, saying incredulously, "Meng Ran, you guys? What's going on?"
In an instant, countless questions arose in Harry's mind: how could Meng Ran and the others be masked heroes, why were they carrying his father and appearing here, and what had happened to his father?
Meng Ran looked at Harry, knowing that he had many questions, so he said, "Harry, I know you have many questions, and we will answer them for you."
"The most important thing right now is what happened to Uncle Norman. I want to tell you about that first."
Harry put down the lamp he was holding. He'd been stunned by Meng Ran and the others, still clutching it.
He hurried over to Meng Ran and the others. Meng Ran had already placed Norman Osborn on the ground.
Harry knelt beside his father and asked, "Dad, what happened to you?"
Then he shook Norman, touching his face.
Norman's body was already cold. Harry's hand trembled as he touched his face.
"Meng, what's going on? My dad... is he...?"
Harry asked Meng Ran, his voice trembling with disbelief.
Meng Ran lowered his head upon hearing this, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Norman, he... he's already dead."
Harry's eyes immediately glazed over as he slumped to the ground. He then looked at Peter and Gwen, hoping to confirm the truth.
Peter and Gwen, meeting Harry's gaze, also lowered their heads.
Seeing their reactions, Harry felt a wave of despair and disbelief wash over him.
He stared blankly at Norman, who lay on the ground as if asleep, and murmured through tears, "How could this happen? Why did this happen?"
Then, Harry turned to Meng Ran, his voice trembling as he asked, "Meng, what happened? Why did my father suddenly..."
Meng Ran also spoke in a low voice, "It's a long story. Watch this video."
Subsequently, the television in Harry's study turned on by itself, playing a video.
The video was shot from a first-person perspective, and the location was the rooftop of a villa.
This was a recording of Meng Ran during a fight.
At the beginning of the video, a strange sound could be heard coming from a distance.
Harry watched the video, listening to the sound, and suddenly remembered the strange bomber from the news that day.
The video continued, and a green figure suddenly appeared in the screen. He was riding a strange glider, circling in the air toward the villa, and occasionally dropping a few bombs from the sky, causing flashes of fire.
Harry saw this and confirmed that the strange laughter came from this strange person, and that he was the bomber from the news that day.
Harry continued watching, and soon the video arrived at the scene where the strange person was subdued and tied to a tree.
The person in the video taking the video removed the mask of the strange person.
Seeing the face revealed under the mask, Harry's eyes widened in disbelief.
"W-what's going on?" Harry exclaimed.
This monster was actually his own father? What was happening?
Then the video showed Norman's pleas, followed by the sneak attack.
Seeing Norman being impaled by his own glider, Harry was instantly stunned. He felt his understanding of everything collapse.
Then Norman seemed to return to normal, and then he started making his final arrangements, as well as the secrets he wanted Harry to know.
The video ended quickly. Harry lowered his head, clenching his fists, not knowing what he was thinking. After watching the video, he understood everything.
The monster in the video was his father, and the three people fighting him were Meng Ran and the others. At the end of the video, Norman recognized them, which was why he made his final arrangements.
Meng Ran looked at Harry, who was kneeling with his head bowed, and said softly, "We only confirmed at the very end that Uncle Norman was the Green Goblin."
"Green Goblin? Is that what those people called him? The green devil," Harry murmured, his head still down.
Then, ignoring Meng Ran and the others, he picked up Norman's body and went upstairs. He placed Norman's body on the bed in Norman's room and tucked him in, making him look as if he were asleep.
Meng Ran and the others watched Harry's silent actions, unsure of what to do.
After a moment of hesitation, they followed Harry upstairs.
Meng Ran watched Harry as he tucked Norman in and said softly, "Harry, it seems Uncle Norman turned into that because of some reasons, it's not entirely his fault."
"It's like he had a split personality, the Green Goblin was his second personality."
Harry didn't respond to Meng Ran, continuing with his actions.
After settling Norman down, Harry turned his back to them and said wearily, "Could you all leave? I want to spend some time with my dad."
Meng Ran and the others lowered their heads, turning to leave quietly.
Just as Meng Ran had turned, he suddenly turned back, placed a card on the ground, and said to Harry's back, "We'll be waiting for you here, Harry, no matter how long it takes."
Harry didn't respond or turn around.
Seeing this, Meng Ran and the others quietly left.
Back at the base, everyone sat silently in their chairs, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.
Peter lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know why Uncle Norman became like that, to the point of splitting into another personality."
Gwen also whispered, "I feel like it's related to his recovery, but we don't know exactly what happened."
Meng Ran pondered, sighing, and said, "Sigh, there should be answers in what Uncle Norman left for Harry, but I don't know if Harry will come here to find us in the end."
Mary Jane was also silent. Peter, hearing Meng Ran's words, suddenly said firmly, "Harry will definitely come."
At Harry's home.
Harry was kneeling beside the bed, sobbing as he lay beside his deceased father.
He had never imagined that one day he would suddenly see his father's death, especially after Norman had suddenly recovered a few days ago, bringing him great joy.
This contrast made him even more sad than when Norman was seriously ill.
In the large room, there was only Harry's continuous crying.
After a while, Harry left the room and came to Norman's study.
He wanted to see the safe his father had mentioned on his deathbed, to understand what had truly happened.
Harry sat at the desk and saw the safe in the lower right corner.
It had a combination lock. Harry thought for a moment and tried entering his birthday.
"Click!" The safe opened.
Harry took out the box inside and placed it on the desk. There was a small metal square and several letters in the box.
Harry opened the earliest letter and began to read.
It was written by Norman Osborn to Harry during his illness, with instructions for Harry to open it after his death.
In the letter, Norman explained the reason for his serious illness, which was the Osborn family's genetic disease.
He told Harry that the illness began manifesting at the age of eighteen, and typically claimed the lives of those afflicted in their thirties or forties.
Harry had just turned eighteen this year, the very age when the disease was likely to strike.
Then, Harry opened the second letter, and the third.
These letters read like a diary, chronicling Norman Osborn's research on this hereditary disease, as well as his final will and testament to Harry.
The metal cube was the central hub controlling everything within the Osborn Corporation, the key Norman left for Harry to control the company.
Harry finished reading these letters and opened the last one, the most recent, dated after Norman's recovery.
Harry stared at the letter, his eyes widening.
"Harry, there's been a problem with the reagent that was supposed to cure the hereditary disease. It's like there are two people inside me now, and I don't know how to control the other one. He killed Yibei and sealed off the lab. I know the reagent isn't finished, but I can't control myself. I can only write this while he is asleep, so you'll know later."
"I've figured out the pattern of his appearances. I'm using my lucid time to finish the reagent. Forgive me, Yibei, my good friend. I will go to hell to atone for my sins and wash away my guilt. I hope you pray for me to finish the reagent. Harry can't live without it."
"The reagent is finished today, but he seems to have discovered what I'm secretly doing. He's taking over my body for longer and longer periods."
"Harry, I put the reagent in the secret room behind the wall in the study. It's the lab where I did my research before. You just need to find the third book in the fourth slot of the second row, pull it out and put it back in, and repeat that twice to open the secret room. He hasn't discovered my plan, but I have less and less time to be conscious."
"Harry, Dad loves you."
Harry felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the last letter.
It turned out that his father really had a problem. That reagent, while it healed his body, had split his spirit, turning him into a mad devil.
It was also this devil who controlled him, causing him to commit a series of horrific crimes, including the death of Uncle Yibei, and the explosion at the Osborn Corporation.
Harry threw the letters into the fireplace after reading them, watching the flames burn them to ashes.
Then he went to the bookshelf and opened the secret room according to Norman's instructions.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble." The bookshelf in front of Harry caved inward, revealing an opening like a door, then slid to the right, exposing a passageway.
The lights in the passageway flickered on, one by one. Harry walked inside and arrived before the door to the secret laboratory.
"Beep~ Fingerprint recognized."
"Beep~ Iris scan confirmed."
"Identity confirmed! Harry Osborn."
"Laboratory opening!"
