Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 747 4. Eddie's new job

In Manhattan, in a high-end apartment building near the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, Kreeman Yong Roger, who received advice, had his hair cut, changed his clothes, and dressed himself up, is sitting at the dining table and eating .

While he was busy filling his stomach, he looked at the furnishings of the house.

Beige wallpaper, blue curtains, and a sofa in the living room. There are a few Impressionist paintings on the walls that are hard to appreciate, and a beautiful crystal chandelier. , the house is filled with a warm feeling.

It's hard to imagine that this is Minerva's home.

As Yon recalled, Minerva was a fierce warrior and a perfect soldier in the Kree Star Troopers.

Among the well-regulated army of the Cree, Minerva has proved how ruthless she is, and every mission she has, no matter what the content is, she can complete it flawlessly.

She never seemed to have anything to do with tenderness.

But now?

Yong looked back at the kitchen, Minerva was busy there, she was wearing an apron, her carefully permed curly hair hung on her shoulders, she still had light makeup on her face, and she was skillful in chopping vegetables.

Just like a beautiful earth woman.

The image of the grim warrior had completely faded from this woman, and the fire that longed for battle seemed to have died in her heart, but her heart was not empty, she filled it with something more tender.

"Come on, a spaghetti dinner with chopped onions and hot dog slices, I don't know if you'll get used to it, sir, but I like it."

A few minutes later, Minerva placed a large bowl of delicious food on the table.

She works in an accounting firm in Manhattan. When she goes to work on weekdays, she always uses the equipment issued by the MIB to change her skin into that of an earthling.

But because he has passed the MIB supervision stage and has been in good shape this year, Minerva is allowed to freely maintain the image of the Cree in his own home.

Her blue skin looks a bit weird, but her amazingly slender body and perfect body curves make her look full of femininity.

To be honest, Miss Minerva has a lot of suitors in the accounting firm.

"Don't call me sir, Minerva."

While serving himself a meal, Yong said:

"We are no longer in the Cree Empire, we are now on Earth, so call me Yong."

"Ok."

Minerva blinked her eyes, and she said:

"Yong, what are your plans next? Are you going out to find a job? Or... are you going to leave Earth?"

"SHIELD offered me a job."

Yong was a little afraid to look at Minerva's burning eyes, this woman who used to be his subordinate... Now she behaved as if she was going to eat him.

"I didn't refuse, so I may still be on Earth for a long time."

"that would be great!"

Minerva let out a cheer. She stood up, grabbed the bag that was lying at Yu's feet, pushed open the door of the guest room, and said to Yu:

"You can live with me. I have left you a house and prepared all kinds of daily necessities. It is very difficult to find a house that suits you in New York. Don't worry about the rent. Look at our past relationship. Now, I can take you in, Yong, until you plan to move out."

Yong, who was eating, watched Minerva put all his things in the guest room in a speechless manner, which made it clear that he did not intend to let him leave.

"But... that's fine too."

Yong grunted, he lowered his head and continued to eat.

It feels good to have a woman in the family. The old affairs between him and Carol have long been a memory. After leaving the Island Prison, maybe he should, like Minerva, reunite The earth began its own life.

His own home, the home of Hara, the home planet of the Cree Empire, seemed to be a matter of the previous life, so long ago that he almost forgot about it.

The imprint of that strict and blood-based civilization on his mind and body has almost been worn away.

Earth, this world is very backward, but it seems to be more humane than the Kree Empire... It's a good place to live for a long time.

And he and Minerva, the two exiles, might also be able to snuggle up here for warmth and live together. For the two deserters, this is already a very good ending.

After eating, Yong walked into the bathroom, intending to take a shower to wash away his exhaustion, and then enjoy his one-month vacation.

But just as he was taking off his clothes, the bathroom door was pushed open again, hugging Yong's strong body from behind, and the slender arc stuck behind Yong's back, making Yong's body stiff at this moment.

"I actually like Earth."

Minerva's voice sounded behind Yong's ears, as well as the warm and moist breath.

She said in a hoarse voice:

"In the Cree Empire, I, who came from a humble background, and you, who are nobles, could never be like this. Do you know that when I almost failed in my first mission and was dragged back from the dead on the battlefield by you? , I have liked you, until now..."

"Mineva, you..."

"Shhhhhh!"

Minerva stopped Yuu from speaking, and her fingers slid gently on Yuu's scarred skin.

Behind him, Minerva said in a very seductive and forceful tone:

"Tonight, you have to listen to me...Yong, I am your landlord now, if you don't obey, I will kick you out..."

"Shut up, sweetie..."

--------------

"Eddie! Eddie!"

A deep and muddy voice echoed in Eddie Brock's mind, waking him up from his coma.

Eddie felt a headache, as if he was hungover, and as if someone had hit his head with an iron rod, and he even had hallucinations in front of his eyes.

That mysterious man in the windbreaker who always appeared on various occasions was standing not far from him, looking at him with strange eyes.

And the voice in my head, shouldn't it be the voice of my own conscience?

"Eddie! Open your eyes...it's dangerous now."

The voice sounded again, and Eddie's eyes opened suddenly at this moment, which was not controlled by him.

After waking up, Eddie's body instinctively jumped backwards, and then ran away. Other forces were controlling his body. Eddie looked blank. He watched himself jump over the 2-meter-high guardrail, and then Like a sensitive spider, it climbed up the metal wall.

All kinds of smells rushed into his nostrils, and after his senses were greatly enhanced, he could smell things that would have been ignored before.

There is also hearing, which is also strengthened.

The voice of a woman, the sound of starting an instrument, the sound of walking outside the closed building, the sound of a lighter being pressed, all kinds of noisy sounds rushed into his ears.

The original ordinary world projected a lot of information into his mind with a more vivid attitude. In a waking state, facing these oncoming information, he couldn't process and adapt, as if he was completely sluggish. Same.

His memory is still stuck a few hours ago.

At that time, he found the materials of illegal biological experiments in the storage room of the Life Foundation, and then there was the sound of glass breaking behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a mass of black, sticky things rushing toward his face ...

What happened after that?

Where is this again?

What happened to the power surging in his body?

"Escape! Escape!"

That voice sounded in Eddie's head again, projecting a danger signal to him.

But before Eddie could react, the magic power entwined around him gathered into dark red chains, binding him tightly.

This sudden restraint interrupted the rhythm of Eddie's escape, and the disordered gravity around his body bound Eddie in it like a circular cage.

Under the pull of that gravitational force, he was torn off from the wall, drew a trajectory in the air, and then fell fiercely to the place where he just woke up.

pain.

Eddie felt the pain of falling, he struggled to raise his head, and saw a pair of black shoes.

"Where are you going, Eddie?"

Merlin's voice also reached Eddie's ears, and he asked softly:

"Or, where is that thing in your body going to take you?"

"Snapped"

Eddie was pulled by the changed gravitational force and stood up from the ground. He was pushed hard again and fell on the chair behind him. He struggled instinctively, but the changed chains of the binding spell bound his feet and His hands were tied to the armrests of the chair, making it impossible for him to break free.

At this moment, Eddie finally woke up completely.

He saw clearly Merlin standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, my God, this is not an illusion.

"Dangerous! Don't struggle."

The muddy voice sounded in Eddie's mind again, which made him in a daze unbearable anymore, and he screamed:

"Who's talking? Who?"

That look of looking left and right, sensitive and crazy, made Eddie look like a complete psychopath.

But Merlin didn't interrupt him. On the contrary, Merlin looked at him so calmly, as if he was expecting Eddie and the symbiote in his body to complete the first real conversation.

"Sad Eddie, we chose you, but now it looks like it was a mistake."

The muffled voice said:

"Shut up! Be quiet... There is a dangerous creature standing in front of you. He has my kind, a stronger kind..."

"He could have killed us, but he didn't, he wanted us to do something, it was the only chance of escape!"

"Who are you! Hell! Why are you in me?"

Eddie certainly couldn't calm down.

No one could calm down in this situation. After being awakened from a sudden coma, a voice suddenly appeared in his head, and he became like Superman.

Most importantly, Eddie is not without memory of what happened before.

He vaguely remembered that he turned into a monster wrapped in black liquid, fought with a group of strange soldiers holding long swords, and knocked down two or three, but was trapped by them with flames and sound waves.

He still barely remembered that in the last ignorant awakening, he had a fight with a half-human, half-dragon monster. The monster was so powerful that it almost pushed him to the ground and rubbed him.

Ah, yes, that monster has a face, like a crow with a sharp beak...

"You can call me Venom, Stupid Eddie. Our relationship is complicated, but you don't need to know more, all you need to know is that you are the mount and I am the rider... Now, please, please!"

"why?"

Eddie retorted:

"Why do you ask for forgiveness?"

"Because you die and it dies."

Merlin, who had been silent all this time, answered Eddie's question instead of the symbiote venom. He stepped forward, stretched out his hand, pressed the blood jade cane in his hand against Eddie's chin, and raised his face.

He looked into Eddie's eyes as if he were looking into something else in Eddie's soul, and he said:

"It is instinctively looking for a chance to survive... The symbiont itself has no intelligence. Only after symbiosis with the host can they use the host's brain to give birth to their own thinking."

"It's a risky move, Eddie, let me explain it to you."

"For a symbiont, the first host is very important. If it lives on a lunatic, the thinking it was born with will also become crazy, and if it lives on a hero, then it will become A force useful for maintaining order."

"The good is better, the bad is worse..."

Merlin looked down at Eddie, and said:

"Based on what I know about you, you can barely be considered a good person, so that thing in your body... also has a reason to exist."

"It told me it was called Venom."

Eddie is a reporter, and the brains of reporters are very good. After Merlin's explanation, although Eddie still doesn't know the original appearance of what happened to him, he at least understands his current situation.

He very cooperatively said to Merlin:

"I swear I don't know why it came to me, if I hurt your people because of this, I'm willing to apologize, I'm willing to pay, I only have one request, get it off me, okay?"

"I can peel it off, Eddie."

With his hands behind his back, Merlin said to Eddie:

"But the problem is that your body has been transformed by the symbiont. Your heart is now only the size of a walnut. Your endocrine system is completely out of control, and one-third of your digestive tract has been dissolved."

"It's taken over your body, Eddie, it's used your body as its own bedroom, dining room, and bathroom, it's made you healthier, it's given you superhuman strength, but at the cost of being completely Completing the symbiosis, you have merged into one."

"So, if I peel it off, in your current situation, you will die painfully due to various complications within 48 hours at most."

Merlin waved the cane in his hand, and he said to the pale-faced Eddie:

"Therefore, my suggestion to you is to accept this reality. If nothing happens, you will have to live with Mr. Venom from now on."

"Oh yeah, and you're out of a job, that's bad news, your bank account is frozen, your apartment is repossessed, your girlfriend dumped you, and you can't afford it Medical expenses and compensation for the agents injured by you."

"But I paid for you, and I found you a new job..."

Merlin said to the dull-faced Eddie:

"Miss Louise of the "Daily Planet" needs an investigative reporter who can help her with some of the interview tasks. I have submitted your resume. Well, you may have an interview opportunity soon."

"I suggest that you don't try to escape at work, because someone will watch you for me, and he will not be more gentle than me when he starts."

Merlin turned his body sideways, and at the entrance of the sealed building behind him, Yong Roger in casual clothes was walking into the house.

"In addition, you need to adapt to the power in your body in the shortest possible time, and learn to get along with the symbiote correctly. Mr. Yong will help you, and you will also master your power in continuous actual combat."

He spread his hands and said to the dazed Eddie:

"Anyway, Eddie, and Venom, welcome to Thunderbolt... welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D."
