Chapter 197: Why Are You So Skilled? (Above)
"Hello? Annie, I'm Eddie, Eddie Bullock, don't hang up the phone, give me three minutes, I want to talk to you about something very important. ”
"Just yesterday, I was attacked by two unidentified killers and am now on the run, and there is evidence that these killers may be related to Drake, the owner of the Life Foundation I interviewed earlier."
"The two killers who attacked me were from a mysterious organization called the Hand Society, and the people who were investigating this organization rescued me, and they told me that the Hand and the Life Foundation might be hatching a big conspiracy."
"I'm calling you in the hope that you can help me, I need more information about Drake."
"I know, I should apologize to you, I shouldn't have peeked at the data on your computer, but now that things have come to this point, they have sent killers to hunt me down, and if I don't solve this trouble, there will be no peace."
"So I hope you can provide me with some information that you know, don't rush to answer me, protect yourself, goodbye."
Eddie hung up the phone, he looked at the phone in a daze, and after being in place for a few seconds, he covered his eyes, "Oh my God! How can I speak to Anne in this tone? She's going to think I'm crazy......"
"What am I in? I'm talking to him, my name is Eddie Bullock......" Eddie took a deep breath, "Who do I think I am, FBI agent?" ”
"You can see that you don't understand a woman's heart at all." Venom's voice sounded in Eddie's head, and as soon as Eddie wanted to refute him, the phone in his hand rang, and Anne's anxious voice came from there:
"Eddie, are you alright? Are you really being hunted down? Where are you now? Feed? Answer me, you should call the police......"
"It's useless to call the police, Annie, the police can't control the killers of the Hand Club, their last partner was Kim, the master of the entire East Coast Crime Empire, and they have already set their sights on me, so I have to get out of here for a while......"
"Wait! Eddie! Annie's voice came from the other end of the phone, a little incredulous, and she said, "Eddie, if your voice hadn't changed, I would have thought it wasn't you, you've never spoken to me in such a calm tone." ”
"Listen, in fact, I also know that the Life Foundation is not a justice organization, and the legal dispute they asked me to settle for them is also related to human experiments, but you and they sent killers to hunt you down? I can't believe it, but if that's true, you'd better go into hiding as soon as possible. ”
Anne is worthy of being an elite lawyer, although her tone is a little anxious, but her thinking is still clear: "I know Drake is not a good person, but my boss asked me to defend him, and this is the case with lawyers, we don't look at the client's position." ”
"But I'm personally very supportive of you punching him, and then I'm going to be so angry, just because you violated my privacy, and you didn't communicate with me at all, I'm angry that you don't trust me, and you're reckless and impulsive......"
"Annie, I'm short on time, I'll talk about the matter between the two of us later."
Anne on the other side was silent for a moment, sighed, and finally said: "The Life Foundation researcher Dora who I docked with had a wavering attitude, when the two of us were in private contact, she complained to me that his boss was too indifferent and would only pursue profits. ”
"She once revealed that she doesn't want to work for Drake anymore, I can give you her contact information, and she should have the information you want."
Anne listened to the lack of an answer on the other end of the phone, and she asked, "Eddie, are you okay?" Eddie! Answer me...... Are you in danger? ”
"No, I didn't." After a while, Eddie's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Anne heard him speak in a low tone, "When I get rid of these troubles, I'll settle the matter between the two of us, if I'm still alive at that time." ”
There was a busy hang-up on the phone, Anne took a deep breath and threw the phone on the bed, she leaned sideways against the head of the bed, covering her eyes in some pain.
"Eddie, if only you could have calmed down so sooner." Anne whispered.
After Eddie hung up the phone, he also gasped a little painfully and muttered to himself, "She gave me useful information so easily, so what the hell were we arguing about before?" ”
"Why do you think she was so angry before? You don't think she broke up with you because she supported Drake, right? ”
Eddie opened his mouth, and Venom continued in his heart: "You deserve to be dumped, obviously, she just wants you to explain to him, hopes you can calm down and communicate with her, tell her why you did this, but you don't do anything." ”
Just as Eddie was about to open his mouth to retort, his phone vibrated and Anne sent a text message with the contact information of Life Foundation researcher Dora.
That night, in front of an apartment building in Manhattan, Dora was rummaging through the keycard with her handbag, and a black figure stood at the end of the alley, the light of the street lamp casting a long shadow in front of him, like a pitch-black blade, cutting through the alley wall.
"What the hell is this?" Eddie looked down at his palm, the back of which was covered with a layer of black armor, and he turned his head to see his own figure reflected in the window of the apartment building next to him.
At this time, Eddie was wearing a black suit that was pitch black, with a soft lining on the inside, light armor on the outside, and a cloak behind him.
Eddie's head is wrapped entirely in mechanical armor, and the chest has a bat-like pattern surrounded by lines that resemble cobwebs.
I have to admit that this suit looks very handsome, with smooth lines, futuristic mechanical joints, and eerie but gothic patterns, Eddie thinks it's cool to wear it to save the world, the only problem is ......
"But what's the matter with this ear?" Eddie asked Venom suspiciously.
The helmet of the suit completely enveloped Eddie's head, making him look like a robot, but the robot had two pointed ears on its head.
"That's the point." Venom told Eddie in a firm tone, "As long as you have these two ears, you will never die because you are a bat...... Venom Man. ”
"Venom Man? The name sounds too evil...... Well, what are we going to do next? ”
"If you don't know what to do, just look down at the pattern on your chest and follow your instincts, and it will give you the answer."
Ten minutes later, Dora was taking out the key to open the door to her apartment when she heard a noise behind her, and when she turned around, a tall black shadow appeared in the shadows of the hallway.
As soon as Dora wanted to scream, the black shadow appeared behind her and covered her mouth: "Don't make a sound, let's go in." ”
He pulled Dora into her apartment, and when the door closed, Dora collapsed on the ground, and the mechanical helmet wrapped around Eddie's head faded, and he said to Dora: "You should know me, I'm the reporter who punched Drake when I was interviewing him the other day, my name is Eddie, Eddie Bullock." ”
Dora's eyes widened, she stood up with the back of the sofa, and trembled a little: "You...... You seem to be the same Bullock, but ......"
Eddie's voice was deep as he addressed Dora, "Because I exposed Drake's despicable practice of experimenting with humans, and now I'm in trouble, he's working with another evil organization, and their killers are hunting me down. ”
Dora pushed her glasses, she straightened up, "Actually, I was going to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come to me first." ”
"Why are you looking for me?"
Dora sighed, and after realizing that Eddie was not a kidnapper, she gradually relaxed, and then pointed to the wall behind him to Eddie: "Press the switch on there, turn the light on, thank you." ”
Eddie then realized that there was no light in the apartment, but he could see very clearly, when did he have night vision?
He turned around to turn on the light, and the sudden light turned on made Eddie cover his eyes with his arm, and he found that he was a little uncomfortable with the light.
Dora walked to the couch and sat down, but Eddie didn't move, still standing in the corner of the room, Dora looked back at him, "Although I don't have anything to entertain guests, why don't you sit down and drink water?" ”
She wiped her hands on her pants with some embarrassment, "I don't have any friends, people don't come to my family often, and I hope I'll forgive me." ”
Eddie shook his head in silence, and Dora turned around, leaning on the back of the couch, and looked at Eddie: "You're completely different from what I imagined, I thought you'd be that kind of ...... It's that kind of comparison...... People with a sense of justice. ”
"You can just be the kind of person who is more impulsive."
"No, that's not what I meant, in fact, I think you did the right thing, and the punch you gave him was really relieving."
"You seem to be upset with your boss."
Dora pursed her lips, her expression was complicated, she turned back, her back to Eddie: "I don't know how to describe it, if as a boss, he is actually not bad, he pays me a very high salary." ”
"But he's not a good guy, he can even be very evil, you don't know what he's doing in the lab......"
"I was just trying to hear about that."
Dora bit her lip, as if she was a little tangled, when Eddie's voice came: "You don't have to worry at all, if I had any chance of agreeing with Drake's approach, I wouldn't risk ruining my career and punching him in front of so many people." ”
Dora seemed to have figured this out as well, and she sighed, "He's really experimenting on humans, and it's some very cruel and inhumane experiments. ”
"What kind of experiment exactly?"
"You should know about the immortality factor, right?"
"I've heard a lot of people talk about it."
"Drake is extracting the immortality factor from an unidentified creature."
"But listen, wasn't that thing taken from a vampire?"
"The normal immortality factor is indeed like this, but the vampires are strictly controlled by the authorities, and the only few are in the Stark Group or the Osborne Group, and the Life Foundation can't get them."
Dora pushed her glasses again, and continued, "But Drake sees the huge benefits of the immortal factor realm, and he wants a piece of the pie too." ”
"The Life Foundation and the Osborne Group are in competition, they are both developers of biotechnology, and it is impossible for the Osborne Group to give them valuable vampire ingredients."
"But I've heard that the Life Foundation has also come up with an immortality factor potion."
"That's right, but that potion wasn't extracted from a vampire, but from another alien creature."
"What the hell is that?"
Dora turned to look at Eddie again, "I can't describe it to you, but I can take you there." ”
