Chapter 523: Schiller's Origin Story (I)
Venom's host, Eddie Rock was expelled from the newspaper due to the Life Foundation incident and went to Hell's Kitchen, but later returned to the company due to the immortality factor-related incident and sat in the editor-in-chief position.
However, because of Venom, Eddie did not choose to move back into the high-end apartment, but settled in Hell's Kitchen.
Thinkers
Eddie and Matt worked together during the Life Foundation incident, and they both had a good impression of each other.
After all, Matt is not a brute faction, think of countermeasures before making a move, and Eddie, who is possessed by Venom, is also a strange plan, and the two discuss strategies together when they have nothing to do, and soon become good friends.
Eddie rented a house on the edge of Hell's Kitchen, which was much better than Matt's stronghold before, so Matt went over to live if he had nothing to do, and it later developed into a two-person shared house.
Now Eddie and Matt are both the types of people who don't talk much, and they get along fairly well, but don't forget, there is a third person in the house of the two, and that is the venom that lives in Eddie's body.
"You really don't know how annoying he is!" Matt, who had come to visit the hospital room, put his briefcase aside, straightened the collar of his suit, and began to pour bitter water on Schiller.
"That mud used to grab magazines with Eddie when he was in the bathroom, and the two of them would argue in my bathroom for a full 20 minutes!"
"Eddie is an editor-in-chief, he goes to work at 10 a.m. every morning, and he has his own means of transportation, I'm just an ordinary lawyer, I go to work at 8:30 a.m., I almost walk through the whole Brooklyn borough, and every morning, I have to go to the bathroom in the restaurant downstairs to go to the bathroom......"
"If it's just a quarrel, they'll fight and fight, and the black mud will block my toilet, and when I get home at 10 p.m., I'll have to find someone to fix the toilet!"
Matt sighed deeply and said, "Just yesterday, he not only blocked my toilet, but also blocked the sewer pipes of an entire apartment building, and all the neighbors were asking me what was going on......"
"You know the way they look at me? Hell, how could I possibly pull out a ton of overnight! ”
Schiller didn't hold back his laughter, and laughed out loud, Matt's face became even more ugly, and he continued: "I don't know what kind of enmity he has with those symbiotes, they have to fight in Hell's Kitchen every once in a while, and make a mess of the law." ”
"You know how ugly they look, it's like writing the words 'I'm an alien' on their faces, even if the people of Hell's Kitchen are more accepted than the average person, it doesn't mean that they can accept this monster running around their heads."
"Many people took pictures and posted them on the Internet, although most of the comments were praising their pictures for being good, but they also caused panic among a small number of people, after all, even thieves and robbers are people, but the symbiotes are not human at first glance, and they look fierce."
"Schiller? …… Schiller! Matt exclaimed suddenly, because he noticed that Schiller, who was lying on the bed, was a little distracted, Schiller shook his head slightly, then looked at him and said, "Oh, I'm listening...... So what are you going to do? ”
Matt didn't continue to speak, he stood up, leveled the bed, then looked down at Schiller and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to complaining to you about these ......"
He looked up at the ward and said, "It's not your duty to relieve our worries, you're a sick person now, and you deserve a good rest." ”
Matt turned around, bent down and sorted out the flowers he brought, in such a short time, Schiller's eyelids drooped a little, Matt's expression became a little worried, but soon, Schiller rubbed his eyes, smiled and said:
"Now, you and Peter are S.H.I.E.L.D. employees, I can go to Nick to reimburse you for your medical expenses, I can't wait for you to stay longer, this, that one-eyed dragon must have a wonderful look on his face when he sees the reimbursement form."
Matt also smiled, and after the two chatted a few more words, Matt said, "I have to prepare for tomorrow's court session in the afternoon, and I will come to see you another day." ”
After saying that, he picked up his briefcase and left, but when he walked out of the ward, his face became serious, and after leaving the hospital, the route to leave was not to go to the law office, but to the Avengers base.
As soon as he arrived at the base, he met Steve walking out, Steve keenly noticed that Matt's face was not very good, he knew that Matt had gone to see Schiller before, and he said helplessly:
"You're not going to have the same argument with Schiller as Tony, are you? He is a patient now, and he takes 10,000 steps back and says, this kind of problem, everyone has their own opinion, and the argument will not lead to anything......"
"Tony? Did he go to see Schiller too? Did the two of them quarrel? ”
"It can't be said to be a quarrel." Thinking of this, Steve was also very helpless, he and Matt briefly explained what Schiller and Stark were arguing about, but unexpectedly, Matt did not join the topic, he just said a little angrily:
"Seriously, doesn't Tony know that Schiller is a patient? And he has just experienced the resurrection from the dead, even if he is a normal person, after experiencing this kind of thing, his mental state will be very poor and he cannot be stimulated......"
Steve frowned, and he asked, "What do you mean?" Is there anything unusual about Schiller? ”
"I think he's a little sleepy, to be precise, like he's suffering from narcolepsy, and he's dozing off all the time while I'm talking to him, you know, it's not very common......"
"Usually, he is already awake at five or six o'clock in the morning, and he can even reprimand Peter and Pikachu who stay up late to play games for more than two hours in a row, but now he ......"
Matt continued: "It's almost 12 noon and he's still sleepy, which is completely abnormal. ”
Steve was wearing a coat and holding a slightly old handbag, looking like he was going out of the house, and Matt asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"I was going to see him." Steve crossed one hand on his hips, turned around, and said, "I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have any arguments with Schiller like Tony, I just want to comfort him." ”
"You and Tony said before that you found out that he might have some childhood trauma? But now it seems that some of his mental illnesses may have relapsed, and I think you'd better go and observe. ”
"Don't worry." Steve patted Matt on the shoulder, turned and left the base, looking at his departing back, Matt shook his head, and walked into the room.
When Steve arrived at Schiller's room, a nurse had just come out of the room, and as soon as Steve was about to push the door, the nurse stopped him and said, "Are you sure you made the right appointment?" The patient is now asleep. ”
Steve glanced down at his watch, it was past 1 o'clock in the afternoon, he was sure that Schiller had never had the habit of taking a nap before, whether it was in the small clinic where Hell lived in the kitchen before, or in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office, at this time, Schiller should have been eating, or had just finished eating and was taking a walk.
"Did he eat lunch?" Steve asked.
The nurse shook her head and said, "He didn't eat breakfast and looks a little out of appetite, I was about to check the dosage of the medication with the attending doctor to see if it was caused by the medication ......"
Steve's brows furrowed even tighter, because he knew that Schiller was not an ordinary human being, and real tranquilizers did not have much effect on him, and there should be no adverse reactions due to the amount of drugs used by ordinary people.
And Schiller's failure to eat on time is also quite scary, Steve has always felt that Schiller is not very much like a typical American, he has a great pursuit of eating, he does every meal himself, never eats fast food, does not order takeout, and even frowns when he sees a pizza box.
Thinking of this, Steve nodded to the nurse, gently pushed the door open, and walked in, and sure enough, Schiller in the hospital bed was sleeping, and it seemed to be very sleepy.
Steve's brow was already twisted, for he saw that although Schiller was sleeping soundly, he was not sleeping peacefully, his brow furrowed, and his mouth seemed to be still thinking words.
Steve sat down next to him, and the atmosphere in the room froze for a while, and Schiller, who was asleep, didn't feel it, but when Loki pushed the door open, he saw such a scene, and swallowed back the words that had come to his lips.
Today, Loki is not wearing the formal dress he wore before, but the traditional costume of Asgard, but what is more eye-catching is that he is carrying a document bag that is common on Earth.
"Well, good afternoon, Steve, are you visiting too?" Loki stretched out his hand to say hello, but Steve rarely didn't catch up, he just turned around, nodded to Loki, and then looked at Schiller who was sleeping worriedly.
Loki walked over to the bed, glanced at Schiller, who was sleeping, and Steve, who was full of worry, and instantly understood something.
He wiped his face with a sad expression, and said, "Actually, I'm sorry too, I came a little late......"
"You also know, the battle for the heir, you live and die, the contradiction between me and Thor is getting bigger and bigger, I was imprisoned in the dungeon by him before, and I don't know anything about what happened on the earth, so I can't help......"
Loki showed a somewhat guilty expression and said, "Schiller is also my friend, and I am also responsible for the fact that he has become the way he is." ”
Steve glanced up at Loki, the guilt in his eyes didn't seem to be fake, in fact, Steve knew that when it came to relationships, those in the Radiant Alliance were closer.
Especially Schiller, Loki and Strange, the three giants of the Holy of Holies, if Schiller and Stark are simple friendships, Schiller and Peter still have teacher-student relationships, then Schiller, Loki and Strange can be called a community of interests, in addition to friendship, there is also a career partnership, so they know more about each other.
Since Loki has already said so, it seems that there must be a big problem with Schiller's mental state.
As soon as Rocky finished speaking, Schiller's eyelids moved, and then, a little dazed, he opened his eyes a little dazedly, he took a deep breath, sat up, and looked a little depressed.
He glanced at Loki who was standing next to him, then turned his head to look at Steve who was sitting on the other side, and before Steve could speak, Schiller said to him, "Please go out first, I have something to talk to Loki." ”
Steve had a shocked expression, he had never heard Schiller speak to him in such a blunt tone, but Schiller kept his eyes on him, and then pointed to the door.
What shocked Steve even more was that Schiller turned his head and said to Loki a little irritably, "Why are you coming over now?" Did you two say yes?! ”
"Wait...... Steve stood up and said, "Don't be angry, I'll leave now." ”
In order not to irritate Schiller, Steve immediately stood up and left, without even saying a few words to Schiller, and when Steve finally left and stepped out of the range where he might have heard the conversation, Schiller violently hammered the pillow and said:
"It's like a stone in a pit, it stinks and is hard!"
He glanced up at Loki rather unhappily and said:
"Are you stupid? I actually bumped into Captain America, the conscience of the Avengers, for fear that he wouldn't know, and I slept every day just to make sales harassing phone calls? ”
