Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 745 2. Weird guy

It was already early the next morning when Merlin received the news.

After learning that the four symbiotes had been sent to the ghost base, he took Sharon to Kansas.

"Sharon, I heard that you have had some trouble with Steve recently?"

Merlin walked towards the laboratory and said to his assistant:

"What's going on? Is it convenient to talk about it?"

"It's nothing."

With a cold face, Sharon replied to Merlin:

"There's something wrong with that person."

"?"

Merlin looked at Sharon in surprise, and he said:

"Steve messing with you?"

"No, but he's punching sandbags in the basement every night. It's really annoying. He doesn't need a break. I do!"

Sharon said dissatisfied:

"It's useless to say it many times. I know he feels uncomfortable. Anyone with his experience will feel uncomfortable and find it difficult to adapt."

"I still want to help him, but he doesn't want to talk to me about those things... It's like he can only live on those memories. It's like a stubborn, hopeless bastard."

"..."

Merlin looked at her chattering subordinate in silence. After several minutes, Sharon finished venting her inner depression by chattering, and then she noticed the strange gaze of her boss.

She touched her face and asked:

"Is there something on my face?"

"No."

Merlin says:

"But you've got a secret... you're in love with Steve?"

"No! How come! Commander, don't talk nonsense!"

Sharon took a step back suddenly, and she said to Merlin fiercely:

"Who would like an old man in his 90s? I explain it's normal."

"Oh, it seems that I really like it."

Merlin shook his head, he continued to walk forward, Sharon followed behind him, the two didn't say anything, until they came to the front of the biological laboratory of the ghost base, Merlin turned his head, and he said to Sharon earnestly:

"There's nothing wrong with liking someone. You've lived together for several years, and it's normal for some relationships to develop, not to mention that you're dealing with a man like Steve."

"I hate to admit it, but Steve is really masculine. Personally, I'd love to see something develop between you, and as a friend, I hope you can find a good man."

"Sharon, I want to remind you."

Merlin said softly:

"Steve has always been unable to let go of his feelings for Ms. Carter. That kind of feeling is so deep in him that he has to hold it tightly in order to continue living in this era that doesn't belong to him, but... .But remember, Sharon, Ms. Carter has let go."

"I can't tell you more, but I can tell you that Steve is only in love now, and he knows it himself, so you have a great chance."

There was a weird smile on the face of the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D. He looked at Sharron's face which was very similar to Ms. Carter's. He reached out and patted Sharron's shoulder, encouraging him in a low voice:

"Come on, capture that old man under your skirt, I believe you can do it, and you should do it too, if Steve can't completely let go of the past, it will be difficult for him to really adapt to this era, very soon It's hard to be the Captain America we need..."

"A soldier who always wants to go back to the past is just a deserter."

"So it's for his own good too."

Merlin thought for a while, and he said to Sharon:

"Well, I'll give you a week off, go out to relax, and think about this matter."

"This is not an agent mission, and I'm not interested in letting my subordinates complete the mission with beautiful women. This is a matter between you and Steve, and I will not interfere."

"Okay, you can go back to the Trident Building to take over the work."

Merlin waved to the silent Sharon, he said:

"And don't worry about it, trust me, your aunt would love to see you with Steve too...after all, she's won in the past, and the moment Steve woke up, he It is already equivalent to a freshman, and it has nothing to do with Ms. Carter."

After finishing speaking, Merlin turned around and pushed open the door of the biology laboratory, and walked into it.

Agent Sharon froze in place. The secret hidden in her heart was exposed by Merlin, which made Sharon a little flustered and ashamed, but as an agent and a witcher, she quickly recovered.

She straightened her clothes, glanced at Merlin in the laboratory, and curled her lips.

"Sir, sometimes you are really... so annoying!"

----------

"It's dying, isn't it?"

In Moira's lab, Merlin looked at the red symbiote housed in a cylindrical biochamber with his hands behind his back.

The thing was rolling around in the biological cabin like a weird slime. It seemed to be in pain, shaking constantly, and there were burn marks on its body.

Facing Merlin's question, Moira, standing beside him, said:

"It's not that easy to die."

The doctor of biology snorted, and she said enthusiastically:

"You really found something really good for me this time. This is a surprise! I like this surprise. The life forms of these alien creatures are really strange. This is really a creature beyond the poor imagination of human beings. "

"They're called symbionts."

Merlin pushed his glasses, he said:

"They're dangerous."

"Anything strong is dangerous, Merlin."

Dr. Moira reached out and opened the valve parallel to the containment cabin in front of him, and soon, a mouse was sent into the containment cabin.

Under Merlin's gaze, the trembling mass of red mucus soon seemed to have found its target. It moved quickly, and after approaching the little white mouse, it extended its tentacles like a snake, as if observing the creature.

In the next second, it pounced on it, wrapped the little white mouse, and then melted into the little white mouse's small body like magic.

"Look!"

Moira pointed to the computer on the edge of the containment cabin. On the computer screen, the life signal representing the existence of the mouse was rapidly fading.

"It is devouring it...to repair its own damage, like an efficient digestion process, it can convert almost any flesh and blood into the nutrients it needs, and this conversion efficiency is extremely efficient."

On the computer screen, the scene of the battle between the witcher agents and Carlton Drake who was covered by the symbiosis was still playing last night. Merlin looked at the shining picture and said:

"It's ugly."

"what?"

Moira couldn't hear Merlin's words clearly. She looked at Merlin suspiciously. The latter shrugged and pointed to the screen. He said:

"I mean, the form of this symbiote suit is really ugly..."

"Obviously, this crazy rich man didn't really achieve symbiosis with the symbiote. He was just controlled by this thing, just like the relationship between a rider and a mount. Even if he escaped last night, he would It was finally digested by this symbiont."

"You seem to know a lot about symbiotes, Merlin."

Dr. Moira took off the protective glasses used for research, she looked at Merlin suspiciously, and she said:

"Where did you learn about this?"

"I'm a wizard, Moira."

Merlin turned his head and showed a mysterious smile to Moira, he said:

"Wizards always have many ways to obtain the knowledge they need. Of course, if you are interested, I can tell you everything about the symbiosis right now..."

"No, I'm not interested!"

Moira held up her hands, crossed them in a gesture of refusal, and said:

"The process of solving problems is half the fun, and I won't let you deprive me of the fun of research. Merlin, why don't you go to other places? After I research the secrets of the symbiont, I will put those The information is given to you."

"Okay, let's drive people away."

Merlin says:

"You are really a ruthless person, Moira, George just transferred back from Numbani, I think you should have a meal with him... After all, you are a couple, even if it is only in name."

"No time to!"

Moira said while typing characters on the keyboard:

"It doesn't matter to me that he goes out with any big-ass chick, as long as I need him to be there for me, I'm very open about that."

"And what is love? It's nothing more than some hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, but we are not beasts controlled by instinct...Why are you still here?"

Seeing that Moira entered into a state of frenzied work, Merlin shrugged. He no longer bothered this crazy woman, but walked along the passage at the edge of the laboratory to a large containment cabin.

He looked at the unconscious man in the containment pod.

Eddie Brock.

He had interviewed him several times before, but his memory had been washed away. He was quite impressed with this reporter, because this guy was even willing to accept Merlin's Forgetting Curse in order to pursue the truth.

There are many journalists who claim their job is to find the truth, but none of them can do what Eddie does.

Well, maybe that obstinate Miss Louise is one of them.

But Eddie wasn't doing well, in fact, badly.

In Merlin's spirit vision, he could see that Eddie's vitality was shrinking, and his heart had shrunk by two punches compared to its normal form, only about the size of a fist, which looked extremely weird.

His endocrine condition also seemed to be very abnormal, and his liver even disappeared. Under Icarus' observation, Eddie in this form should have died long ago, but he was still alive.

Something was in him, something was keeping him alive.

That's another symbiote...

A very weird guy, it didn't eat up Eddie's flesh and blood, and even used its own power to help Eddie "get fit".

This reporter is now as muscular as a fitness trainer.

Well, it seems that it intends to stay for a long time, so I tidied up the "room" to make myself more comfortable.

"Open it."

Merlin rubbed his chin, as if he was considering how to deal with Eddie. After a while, he pushed his glasses and said to Icarus:

"I want to speak to Mr. Eddie."

"It's dangerous, Merlin."

Icarus warns:

"According to the battle between the demon hunting agents and it last night, the power of this guy's punch in the form of a symbiote is at least 10 tons."

"Is it only 10 tons?"

Merlin said in surprise:

"It shouldn't be. From my understanding of the symbiosis, in a fully symbiotic form, its strength should be no less than 50 tons, so it is really weak, right?"

"click"

The door of the large biological cabin was opened at this moment, and Merlin walked into it.

Eddie Brock was lying on the ground in front of him. The moment Merlin walked into the biological cabin, Eddie's eyes opened suddenly, but there were no pupils and eyeballs in them, and instead there was a strange, similar to Same substance as compound eyes.

Under Merlin's gaze, this guy jumped up from the ground in a strange posture, black mucus rolled out of Eddie's body quickly, stretched continuously, and pulled out strange silk threads, just like some Weird candy that sticks together, and disgusting slime that looks like hair.

In short, it was an indescribable scene, a little disgusting and very horrifying.

The black liquid formed a rough skin like a dark cuticle on Eddie's body almost instantly, and it felt smooth again under the light.

It wrapped around Eddie's body, giving his arms, legs and torso a kind of muscular strength.

Beyond that weird horny skin, there are white, tattoo-like patches, and on his head, the symbiote forms a full-coverage helmet, and the eyes become those gray compound eye structures , There are also weird markings around the eyes.

This guy, he... no, it.

It stood up straight in front of Merlin, like a black giant, with its hands spread out, its ten fingers covered with ferocious sharp claws, its mouth was huge, full of strange sharp teeth, it looked like Like shark teeth.

There is also a tongue that is constantly dangling, it seems to be able to expand and contract freely, and it is covered with disgusting mucus.

Thick, crazy, twisted, and ferocious, this is the first impression left by the creature in front of Merlin.

It also talks...

"The liver, spleen, and stomach are all delicious. Unfortunately, we don't have much time..."

It twitched its nose, as if it was sniffing Merlin's scent, and threatened Merlin with a strange and muddy voice, and its twisted tongue seemed to want to lick Merlin's face.

Merlin stood where he was, as if he had been frightened.

But not like this.

"Cough cough."

Merlin coughed twice, and he said to the symbiote in front of him:

"You're so ugly... Alien bastard."

"Come and say hello to your beautiful companion."

Gumbling.

Under Merlin's indulgence, Beowulf, who had been silent all the time, quickly covered Merlin's body, and a terrifying and ferocious figure slowly stood up in the large biological cabin.

That aura oppressed the black symbiont who was full of coquettish words just now to keep retreating.

Beowulf, this ancient alien from ancient times, who was personally shaped by the god of symbiosis Gnar, can't wait to have a good chat with this arrogant junior who dares to threaten his host and who doesn't understand any rules. Chatted.

Um...

This might hurt a little.
