Natasha and Luna walked up to the fifth floor to the scorched hallway of the fifth floor, where a faint smell of burning still permeated the air, even though the fire had been extinguished by firefighters.

Some police officers also went in and out of several rooms affected by the explosion, taking photographs and collecting materials for analysis.

When they saw Natasha and Luna, the leader of the local police, Allen, a tall and burly black officer, took the lead and greeted with a smile on his dark and square face, "I'm the head of the police, Allen." The two should be Deputy Director Natasha and Secretary Luna respectively, right? ”

"S.H.I.E.L.D., Deputy Director." Natasha bowed her head and pulled out her ID card, which also had S.H.I.E.L.D.'s proprietary forgery identification mark on it.

"Unnatural Firm, Senior Secretary." Luna pursed her lips and put her hands in her trouser pockets, not in the slightest hint of taking out her ID.

Officer Allen nodded unconcernedly, although Luna was only a secretary, the weight of the person behind her alone was enough to cover several S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Let's start with a few things." Natasha withdrew her documents and asked straight to the point.

Officer Allen pointed around and briefly said, "Our police have collected a lot of witness information, according to the comprehensive view of the tenants on the fifth floor of the rental building. Half an hour ago, that is, at about 23 o'clock New York time, there were two humanoid monsters fighting in room 508, and then the battle continued to 509 on the opposite side, and the final gas explosion was also caused by room 509, which is currently preliminarily determined to be human. ”

"Who are the tenants of these two rooms?" Not to be outdone, Luna asked.

Officer Allen took out his mobile phone, rummaged through the personal information that had been queried by headquarters, and said, "The tenant of room 508 is: Owen Weil. 36 years old, English, formerly working in a barbecue restaurant in Boston, now an unemployed vagrant, came to New York City only the day before yesterday, and rented this room to pay a month's rent. ”

After a pause, he continued, "In Room 509, where the gas exploded, we found the body of Owen Weil, who died horribly, with only charred bones left. ”

"What about the tenant of 509?" Natasha seemed to have caught the point.

"That's where it's weird." Officer Allen shrugged his shoulders and said solemnly: "The tenant's name is Eddie, 24 years old, a recent graduate of the University of California, who was officially hired by a famous news agency in New York not long ago, and came to New York the day before yesterday, went to the company to report yesterday, and worked until 20 o'clock in the evening today before returning to the rented room. ”

"It's strange he didn't die at the scene of the explosion, right?" Luna said.

Officer Allen nodded and said in a deep voice, "There are no traces of Eddie's body at the scene. Not only that, but Eddie never left the building, and mysteriously disappeared in the explosion with the two monsters. We have issued a tracing warrant and mobilized the local police force to search for Eddie's whereabouts. ”

Natasha and Luna glanced at each other, thoughtful expressions on their faces.

"Officer Allen, right?" Natasha smiled slightly, and said undoubtedly: "You can now take people to evacuate the scene on the fifth floor, just continue to maintain the lockdown of this building, this matter is not something that your police can deal with, and all the files should be transferred to us by S.H.I.E.L.D." ”

"And our unnatural firm." Luna chimed in.

"Okay, I see." Officer Allen simply agreed.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities and authority are even higher than the military's in New York, and it is normal for them to give orders to the police.

Not a moment in time. Officer Allen led a police team of more than a dozen people to evacuate the scene in an orderly manner, leaving only a small team of personnel to cordon off and maintain the building.

S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and the agency began to take out various high-tech instruments from their suitcases to conduct detailed and in-depth research on the explosion site and restore the video data of the fight between the two symbiotes.

Natasha looked at Luna, who was always in her pocket, and asked, "Secretary Luna, what do you think?" ”

"Are you insulting my intelligence? Now that I know some of the characteristics of the symbiote from the head of the family, the battle here can basically be concluded in advance. Luna said in a determined tone, "The flames have the ability to completely obliterate symbiotes, and the fact that a corpse was left on the scene here proves that the battle was decided in the instant of the explosion - one dies and one flees." ”

"Same as I thought. And the escaped symbiote was parasitic on the mysterious disappearance of Eddie. ”

When Natasha said this, she licked her lips with a little surprise and said, "Probably even the head of the family didn't expect that those symbiotes that were opened from the alien invasion would actually engage in infighting. ”

Meanwhile.

New York City, Huxon River.

'Poof! ’

A dark and tall humanoid monster sprinted and climbed from the viaduct bridge, and finally jumped off the river 100 meters high, and the river surface was immediately turbulent against the slightly lit night.

Ten seconds later.

The head of a young man emerged from the shallow waters of the river, followed by his shoulders, waist, and feet......

Eddie gasped for breath and walked from the shallow water to the shore, where he fell to the concrete floor with no strength, drenched and embarrassed.

"What the hell is wrong with me? Just now, I turned into a black monster? Eddie shuddered in the night breeze and groped his hands over his body with only a pair of pants.

Even the little brother didn't let go, I touched it all over and found nothing unusual.

Just as Eddie was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a black liquid oozed from his chest, rotating to form a snake-like head with a miniature version of the toxin's head.

"You're looking for me?" The toxin grinned, and a row of jagged teeth bared hideously.

"You, you, you, how did you get to me?!" Eddie retreated in terror, only to have the toxin connected to him symbiotically. When he retreated, so did the toxins.

"If it weren't for me, young man, you would have died in the explosion just now."

Toxin sneered.

"So you saved me." Eddie's mood calmed down slightly, and he quickly reacted angrily and said, "It's not you yet!" I have to put gas on the fire, and now it's okay, my house has been blown up, and I'm a murderer! ”

"You just killed, that's not human." Toxin correction said.

"Do you think the New York Police will believe what you say? I'm done with my life. Eddie gave up on himself, kneeling on the ground in despair and said in frustration.

"You also have a bit of potential, you can become my new host, please cheer up." Toxin comforted Eddie and said proudly, "You also saw my strength just now." You and I are one, you are an omnipotent superman, what are you afraid of? ”

"Host? Please let me go. Eddie was even more desperate.

"I'm sorry."

Toxin grinned and said confidently: "You are now the host spare tire, and I will live in your body until I find a suitable host!" ”
