4. Eddie's New Job (Part I)

Manhattan, in an upscale apartment building near the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, took advice, got a haircut, changed his clothes, and dressed himself up as a new Cree man. Rogge, sitting at the table eating.

He busied himself to fill his stomach as he surveyed the furnishings of the house.

With beige wallpaper, blue curtains, a sofa in the living room, a few hard-to-admire impressionist paintings on the walls, and beautiful crystal chandeliers, the house is full of warmth in the light of the light.

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

In Yong's memory, Mineva was a fierce warrior, a perfect soldier in the Kree Star Troopers.

In the Kree army, Mineva has proven how ruthless she can be, and she can complete every mission, no matter what it is.

She never seemed to be associated with gentleness.

But what about now?

Yong looked back at the kitchen, where Mineva was busy, her curly hair hanging down her shoulders in her apron, her face painted with light makeup, and her skillful chopping of vegetables.

It's no different from a beautiful earth woman.

The image of the cold warrior had completely faded from the woman, and the flame of her heart's desire for battle seemed to have been extinguished, but her heart was not empty, and she filled it with something more gentle.

"Come on, pasta feast with chopped onions and hot dog slices, I don't know if you'll be able to get used to the taste, sir, but I like it."

A few minutes later, Minerva placed a large pot of fragrant food on the table.

She works in an accounting firm in Manhattan, and when she goes to work on weekdays, she always uses . The device issued by B changes its own skin to the skin color of the earthlings.

But because it has already passed. B's custody phase and the appearance has been good this year, so Mineva is allowed to maintain the image of the Cree in his own home.

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

Seriously, Miss Minerva has a large group of suitors in the accounting firm.

"Don't call me sir, Minerva."

While serving himself a meal, Yong said:

"We're no longer in the Kree Empire, we're on Earth now, so call me Yong."

"Okay."

Minerva's eyes blinked, and she said:

"Yong, what are you going to do next? Want to go out and get a job? Still is... Ready to leave Earth? ”

"S.H.I.E.L.D. gave me a job."

Yong was afraid to look at Minervan's burning eyes, the woman who used to be his subordinate... Now it acts as if it is going to eat him.

"I didn't refuse, so I might stay on Earth for a long time."

"That's great!"

Minerva let out a cheer, she stood up, grabbed the bag that Yong had placed at her feet, then pushed open the door of the guest room, and said to Yong:

"You just live with me, I left you a house, and prepared all kinds of daily necessities, it is difficult to find a house that suits you here in New York, don't worry about the rent, for the sake of our past relationship, I can take you in, Yong, until you plan to move out."

Yong, who was eating, watched a little speechlessly as Mineva placed his things in the guest room, which had already made it clear that he did not intend to let him leave.

"But... That's fine. ”

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

It feels good to have a woman in the family, his old days with Carol have long been a memory, and after leaving the island prison, it may be time for him to start his life on Earth again, just like Minerva.

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

The imprint of that civilization, which had strict rules and serious pedigree theory, had almost been wiped out in his mind and body.

Earth, this world is very backward, but compared to the Kree Empire, it seems to be more humane here... A great place to stay for a long stay.

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

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

But just as he took off his clothes, the bathroom door was pushed open again, and a perfect and scorching body hugged Yong's strong body from behind, and the slender arc stuck to Yong's back, making Yong's body stiffen at this moment.

"I actually like the Earth."

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

The bold woman stuck out her tongue and licked it in Yong's ear, and she said in a hoarse voice:

"In the Kree Empire, I and you, as a nobleman, will never be like this, do you know, when I almost failed my first mission and was dragged back from the dead on the battlefield, I liked you, until now..."

"Minerva, you..."

"Shhh

Minerva stopped Yong from speaking, her fingers sliding lightly over Yong's scarred skin, and the sliding of her nails caused a fire to rise in Yong's heart.

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

"Tonight, you've got to listen to me... Yong, I'm your landlord now, and if you don't obey, I'll kick you out..."

"Don't talk, good... Just close your eyes and enjoy. ”

——————————————

"Eddie! Eddie! ”

A low, muddy voice in Eddie. Brock's mind echoed, waking him up from his stupor.

Eddie's head hurt as if he was hungover, and as if someone had been struck on the head with an iron rod, and he was even hallucinating in front of his eyes.

The mysterious, gloomy trench coat man who always appeared on all occasions was standing not far in front of him, looking at him with a strange gaze.

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

"Eddie! Open your eyes... It's dangerous right now. ”

The voice rang out again, and Eddie's eyes snapped open at that moment, it wasn't under his control.

After waking up, Eddie's body instinctively jumped backwards, and then ran away, other forces controlling his body, Eddie was dazed, he watched himself jump over the 2-meter-high guardrail, and then climb the metal wall like the most agile spider.

All sorts of smells rushed into his nostrils, and after his senses were greatly strengthened, he could smell things that he would have previously overlooked.

There is also hearing, and hearing is also strengthened.

The sound of the woman talking, the sound of the instrument activating, the sound of walking outside the enclosed building, the sound of the lighter pressing, the noise, all kinds of sounds rushed into his ears.

The original ordinary world projected a lot of information in his mind in a more vivid attitude, and in a conscious state, he couldn't process and adapt to these oncoming information, as if he was completely sluggish.

His memory was still hours ago.

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

What happened next?

Where is this?

What about the power surging in your body?

"Run! Run! ”

The voice rang in Eddie's head again, projecting a dangerous signal at him.

But before Eddie could react, the magic that wrapped around him converged into dark red chains, binding him to death.

The sudden restraint interrupted the rhythm of Eddie's flight, and the chaotic gravitational pull around his body restrained Eddie in it like a circular cage.

Under the pull of gravity, he was ripped off the wall, streaked through the air, and then fell hard where he had just woken up.

Hurt.

Eddie felt the pain of the fall, and 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 rather, that thing in your body, where is it going to take you?"

"Smack"

Eddie was pulled up from the ground by the altered gravitational pull, and was pushed again, and the whole person fell to the chair behind him, he struggled instinctively, but the chains of the bondage spell changed his feet and hands were tied to the armrests of the chair, making him powerless to break free.

And at this moment, Eddie finally came to his senses.

He could see Merlin standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, and oh my God, it wasn't an illusion.

"Danger! Don't struggle. ”

The muddy voice sounded in Eddie's head again, which made him in a daze unable to bear it any longer, and he screamed:

"Who's talking? Who? ”

That sensitive and crazy look made Eddie look like a complete psychopath.

But Merlin didn't interrupt him, instead, Merlin looked at him calmly, as if expecting Eddie to finish their first real conversation with the symbiote in his body.

"Pathetic Eddie, we chose you, but now it seems like a mistake."

The muddy voice said:

"Shut up! Be quiet... There is a dangerous creature standing in front of you, and he has my kind, a more powerful kind..."

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

"Who are you! Damn it! Why are you in my body? ”

Eddie certainly couldn't calm down.

No one can calm down in this situation, and after suddenly being unconscious and awakened, there is suddenly an extra voice in his head, and he has become like Superman.

Most importantly, Eddie is not devoid of memories of what happened before.

He vaguely remembered that he had turned into a monster encased in a black liquid, engaged a group of strange soldiers armed with swords, and had taken down two or three, only to be trapped by them with fire and sound waves.

He still barely remembered that during his last ignorant awakening, he had fought with a half-human, half-dragon monster that was so powerful that it almost pinned him to the ground and rubbed him.

Ah, by the way, that monster has a face, like a crow with a pointed beak...

"You can call me Venom, idiot Eddie. The relationship between us is complicated, but you don't need to know more, you just need to know that you are the mount and I am the rider... Now, beg for mercy, quickly! ”

"Why?"

Eddie asked rhetorically:

"Why are you asking for mercy?"

"Because if you die, it will die."

Merlin, who had been silent, answered Eddie's question in place of Symbiote Venom, and he stepped forward, reached out, and pressed the blood jade cane in his hand against Eddie's chin, lifting his face up.

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

"It instinctively seeks a chance to live... Symbiotes themselves are not sapient, and only after living in symbiosis with the host can they generate their own minds with the help of the host's brain. ”

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

"For the symbiote, the first host is important, if it inhabits some madman, then the mind from which it is born will also become insane, and if it parasitizes on a hero, then it becomes a useful force for maintaining order."

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

Merlin looked at Eddie condescendingly, and said:

"From what I know of you, you're barely a good person, so, that thing in your body... There are still reasons to exist. ”

"It told me it was called Venom."

Eddie is a journalist, and the brains of reporters are very useful, and after Merlin's explanation, although Eddie is not clear about what happened to him, he at least understands his current situation.

He cooperated and said to Merlin:

"I swear I don't know why it will happen to me, if I hurt your person because of this, I'm willing to apologize, I'm willing to make amends, I only have one request, get it off me, okay?"

"I can strip it, Eddie."

Merlin put his hands behind his back and said to Eddie:

"But the problem is, your body has been modified by symbiotes, your heart is now only the size of a walnut, your endocrine system is completely out of control, and your digestive tract is dissolved by a third."

"It takes over your body, Eddie, it treats your body as its own bedroom, dining room, and bathroom, it makes you healthier, it gives you superhuman strength, but at the cost of it, it's completely symbiotic and you're one."

"So, if I strip it off, in your current condition, you'll die in agony for all sorts of complications in 48 hours at most."

Merlin waved his cane, and he said to the pale Eddie:

"Therefore, my advice to you is to accept this reality, if nothing else, you will have to live with Mr. Venom in the future."

"Oh, yes, and you're out of work, that's bad news, your bank account has been frozen, your apartment has been repossessed, your girlfriend has abandoned you, and you can't afford to pay the medical bills and compensation for the agents you wounded."

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

Merlin said to the dumb-faced Eddie:

"Miss Louise at The Planet needs an investigative reporter who can help her with some of the assignments, and I've sent your CV in, well, you might be in for an interview soon."

"I advise you not to try to run away at work, because someone will watch over you for me, and he will not be more gentle than I am."

Merlin turned sideways, and behind him at the entrance to the sealed building, Yong, who was dressed in civilian clothes. Rogge was walking into the house.

"In addition, you need to get used to the power in your body in the shortest possible time and learn to get along with the symbiote properly. Mr. Yong will help you, and you will also master your power in successive actual battles. ”

He spread out his hands and said to Eddie, who was dazed:

"Anyway, Eddie, and Venom, welcome to the Thunder Strike Team... Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
