The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 16 Venom
"Investigate separately?" He Nan yawned and tapped the map: "This is more efficient. Rostar Industry? Or Syndicate Freight? Choose one."

"Let's think about it tomorrow. You're so sleepy that you even said your name backwards." Shirley patted him on the shoulder, got up and left with a sly smile.

Why can she be so energetic... Is it because I don't drink enough coffee?
In any case, Ho Nan was indeed quite tired.

So, he quickly returned to the bedroom with his messy thoughts.

At night, he had a dream.

…I dreamed that I was trapped on the bed and could not move, and something came in from outside the house, making a wet and flowing sound.

After the brief nightmare faded away, He Nan's consciousness fell into silence again.

If he fell asleep quietly like this, he would rest until the alarm clock sounded.

However, it was Shirley's voice and her silky and slender palm that broke the slumber first.

"Wake up." Miyano Shiho pushed He Nan who was lying on the bed, his tone was very tense and serious.

"I've only slept for two hours..." He Nan barely raised his eyelids to look at the alarm clock, and his consciousness soon fell into a coma.

"Wait and sleep again! Surveillance captured... Strange things."

"……what?!"

He Nan, who was still in a daze because he didn't wake up, immediately perked up after hearing what she said.

Then, hurriedly got out of bed and ran to the study.

On the screen, the video of the monitor from last night is being displayed.

Looking at all this, He Nan felt horrified.

Like a dream, a puddle of black liquid substance penetrated the room through the crack of the window, turning into a humanoid creature covered in pitch-black mucus.

Then, it walked into the study.

Shirley cuts to another video.

Here, finally, its appearance can be seen clearly in black and white, blurred pixels.

Therefore, He Nan's heart trembled.

venom.

...that's venom.

Terrifying alien symbiote...

Who is the host possessed by it?
"When I went to the bathroom and passed by the study, I found that the position of the mouse was not right, and I felt that it had been moved by an outsider... After checking the surveillance, I found that a monster sneaked into our house in the middle of the night and used my computer." Xue Li pointed to the picture of Venom manipulating the computer on the screen, and took a deep breath: "Unfortunately, from this angle, I can't see what it checks."

"I will check the interview records...but I also know that it is related to the case we are investigating." Seeing the venom flowing out of the window of the study without a sound, He Nan turned his head to look at the window, feeling cold in his heart: "We This has simply become a street... come and go if you want."

"If we are targeted by this kind of monster, we will die on the bed at any time." Although Shirley didn't have a special expression, there was already worry hidden between her brows: "Anyway, let me call the police first, and you check the computer. Maybe there is something missing. Documents... from today, let's take turns sleeping. Keep the pistol away."

"... Mmm." He Nan's heart was beating wildly.

Both sensed the extreme danger of the current state of affairs.

... They were being targeted by an opponent who was completely unable to compete.

He Nan who knew the identity of this monster was actually more panicked than Shirley who was completely unaware.

Because ordinary pistol bullets have no effect on venom.

There's no way Venom didn't notice that there were surveillance cameras in the house.

Their location is so obvious...you can see it clearly through the window.

Even so, it still has to keep operating the computer.

Is it intentional?

Should this be taken as a warning...?
Venom is warning us not to investigate?
Or……

Eddie Brock is actually Venom?
Either way, the situation is dire.

What scares He Nan the most is that the self in this world is completely unaware that there is such a thing as venom.

In other words, alien symbiotes have never come to New York in the Marvel world before...

... Or, the witness records were all erased, and the whole network blocked the news.

In this case... very likely.

He Nan nervously checked the access records of the computer system, feeling dry eyes.

He noticed that the access log was deleted.

That way, there's no telling what Venom has seen.

The covert work in this area has been done well...

He Nan gritted his teeth.

Looks like I'm really in big trouble...

...but it could just be me thinking too much.

Regardless, the investigation will continue.

How can you survive as a detective in the sinister New York City if you are bluffed like this?

He Nan didn't intend to stop.

I don't intend to just be helpless against the venom and wait for it to be slaughtered like a chicken on the chopping board when it attacks at night again one day.

He was going to the gun store today to buy something really exciting like a shotgun.Maybe there is still power to fight.

A flamethrower is also under consideration.While Venom can't be used to seriously damage Venom with fire unless it's in an enclosed space, that's still its weakness--it's just that you might burn the house down with it.

As for the special sound waves that have a very obvious effect on venom...

He Nan also wanted to find some props that could emit them, but unfortunately he didn't know the specific frequency at all.

correct……

...The rogue and the Moon Knight, I can ask them if they know anything about Venom.

Of course, He Nan must be careful not to say anything.

Even if it can be explained by "many people in my parallel world know Venom", it can only be understood by wanderers who were informed by Doctor Strange.

Since he had asked Mr. Strange and the wanderer to keep the matter of soul travel a secret, not only Miyano Shiho, but even Moonlight Knight should not know about it.

So if he acts like he knows this "unknown creature" well, he's in trouble.

Thinking of this, He Nan listened to Shirley who was talking to the police, walked to the window by himself, looked at the still dark sky outside, and dialed the number of the wanderer.

Maybe he was already awake, or maybe he was out fighting crime all night before he came home, and the wanderer picked it up right away.

He was intrigued after hearing about a humanoid creature covered in black goo that could turn into liquid and had huge eyes and a mouth.

Then, ask like this.

"Did you call the police, He Nan?"

"No...oh, Shirley reported it."

"Oh—well, actually it's useless for you to call the police. This is not an ordinary illegal entry." The wanderer on the phone thought for a while and said, "Did I give you an email address yesterday?"

"No."

"Then I'll give you now - take a picture and let me see the monster in the surveillance."

He Nan, who got the e-mail, hung up the phone and took the clearest photo of the venom on the computer.

Afterwards, he sent it to the rogue, and asked him if he knew who this monster was.
