Chapter 1052 Shocking the Ordinary People (Twenty-Nine)

Then Eddie saw Schiller put four fingers inside the four small umbrellas and began to move the origami toy.

Looking at the shape of the origami toy, Eddie paused for a moment, then suddenly realized and said to Venom in his heart:

"Do you still remember that I asked you before, why did the psychologist hired by SHIELD take an umbrella even when it was not raining?"

Venom recalled, then said: "Isn't it because SHIELD's smoke alarm often fails?"

Eddie touched his chin and said: "Maybe there is a certain reason..."

"But before, in the special children's education institution, their teachers told me that when facing autistic children who are not very good at sensory integration training, they often take a special method to help him build a spiritual pillar, that is, give him a familiar object."

"I don't understand the specific principle, but it seems to be to let autistic children build a sense of security on a certain object. As long as he gets this object, he can feel the spiritual support. Relax and reduce the probability of him losing control. "

"A series of experiments have shown that when holding familiar objects, these children's communication efficiency with teachers and emotional expression efficiency have improved. "

"As long as he is trained and treated when he holds familiar objects, the effect will be multiplied. When he gradually walks out of the autistic world, he will gradually get rid of his dependence on objects and return to normal life. "

As an excellent reporter, Eddie actually has a very strong memory. He frowned and repeated what the teacher said to him at the time:

"... What is very magical is that these children who are ignorant and unconscious, as if they are not in the same world as us, often make moves to knock on the door of this world, as if they are asking us for help. "

"There are many children who find their own familiar objects, just like pushing open the door of the world. "They have reached out to us, and what we have to do is to hold their hands and lead them to a new and wonderful world." Venom also fell silent, as if the emotional part he inherited from other hosts began to play a role. He said: "Maybe it is true? Maybe they really have a world we don't know about. In that world, they are normal people and live their own lives..." "And one day, they encountered a door, so they knocked on the door out of curiosity, and met us..." Eddie looked at the origami toy in Schiller's hand and said: "The umbrella is Schiller's familiar item, no, maybe this thing is, the umbrella just looks a bit like it." Eddie moved closer, observed the origami toy and said: "I have never seen this kind of origami method. When I was a child, my father would teach me to fold rabbits or frogs, but the most folded ones were paper airplanes. We would compete to see who could throw the farthest."

Eddie stared at Schiller's regular movements and said, "This origami toy is obviously much more mobile than frogs or rabbits. The way to play is also very strange and looks very regular."

"I remember that the teacher in the special school told me that repetitive and regular exercises would be more popular with autistic children."

"The most common exercise that teachers lead these children to do is step squats, that is, take a step, squat, take another step, squat again..."

"Some children can not only insist on walking around the playground, but even the distance and degree of squatting are exactly the same for each step. They are gifted..."

Eddie looked up at Schiller again and said, "...he is the same."

"What should we do? Just watch him play here?...Hey, I say, why don't you find a piece of paper too? I think this thing is quite fun. "Venom said in Eddie's mind.

"Stop it, we have to think about how to help Dr. Schiller now. I heard he is a very good doctor..."

Schiller stood there, constantly opening and closing his hands. Although he stood there motionless, it can be observed that the trembling of his arms has eased and his breathing rate has slightly recovered.

As a reporter, Eddie has a strong observation ability. He can keenly feel the changes in the emotions of the interviewees, and then adopt different strategies to force the answers he wants.

Finding that Schiller's condition has improved, Eddie did not touch the toy in his hand, but stretched out a hand to grab the corner of Schiller's clothes and slowly Leading him forward, he said as he walked: "Yes, come here, Schiller, come here... go this way..."

Schiller's attention was only on the origami toys, and he followed Eddie step by step to the sofa and sat down.

Then, Schiller played with origami toys there for three hours, and looking back over his figure, Eddie came over with a dirty laundry basket to clean up the clothes, then Venom came over with a mop, then Venom came over with mucus pulling Eddie's neck, and then Eddie came over with a large ball of mucus.

After night fell, the room seemed quieter, and Schiller's movements became slower. He began to touch his eyes frequently with his hands and kept breathing.

After finishing his housework, Eddie walked to the sofa and sat down, then said: "Are you hungry? I ordered a takeaway..."

Just when he said this, the doorbell rang. When the "ding dong" sound came, Eddie could clearly feel that Schiller shook.

He immediately reached out to comfort Schiller, then slowly stepped sideways to the door and took the takeaway.

At this time, Schiller began to disassemble the origami toys until they were restored to a piece of candy wrapper and then put it in his trouser pocket.

While eating, Schiller seemed to have suddenly returned to normal. He looked at Eddie and said: "Why didn't you move back to Manhattan? You are still here. You should not be short of money, right?"

Eddie opened his Chinese fried noodles and said: "I quit and don't plan to work as an editor anymore."

"Why?" Schiller asked.

"Indeed, the editor-in-chief job is easy, with high salary and no performance requirements." Eddie shook his head and said, "But that's not what I want to do."

"When I was studying, I dreamed of becoming the best reporter in the world, but when I entered the workplace, I found that reporters are not righteous messengers who expose evil. Without explosive points and performance, they are nothing."

Eddie ate noodles in big mouthfuls and said vaguely, "On my way to becoming a well-known reporter, I did a lot of unscrupulous things."

"I admit it. I did these things just to make money, and I admit that I made a lot of dirty money, but later, when facing the case of the Life Foundation, I realized that there are some money that I still can't make."

"I didn't expect that my momentary impulsiveness would change my life. I met this black parasite and many interesting people..."

Eddie's body suddenly shook, and it was obvious that Venom was fighting with him for control of his body.

"I changed to a more relaxed job and saved a lot of money. I even saved a down payment for a house in New York because I supported certain industries."

"But the case of the Life Foundation made me realize one thing..." Eddie wiped his mouth, took a sip of wine, and then said: "I don't know if you still remember. At that time, the Life Foundation caught homeless people to do experiments..."

"What puzzles me is that this matter didn't make a big fuss? So many missing people, but not many people noticed that they were missing?!"

Eddie shook his head, as if he was helpless. He said: "No newspapers paid attention to this matter, because there was nothing to shoot about these homeless people. Everyone knows what these neighborhoods look like. Others People in the neighborhood will only think it's unlucky..."

"At that time, I had to move here because I had no money, but after living here for a while, I found that the news here is also quite interesting."

"There are no superheroes flying high, no grand and fantastic technological developments, only a bunch of ordinary people like me."

Eddie took a sip of cold beer and said, "Because I still have a lot of savings, I quit my job as editor-in-chief and started to dig out news from these poor communities here."

Eddie smiled bitterly and said, "I think that unless I open a TV station myself, no one will be willing to accept these news. Just think of it as a way for me to have some fun."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found out. Schiller had finished the remaining two bottles of ice beer. Eddie shrugged and said, "Okay, doctor. I didn't expect you to drink so much, but I didn't order too much. The drinks in Chinese restaurants are too expensive and not worth it at all."

After that, Eddie started to clean up the takeout boxes on the table. While cleaning up, he talked about the situation here again. He said, "Although I occasionally liked to eat Chinese food before, I went to high-end restaurants and almost never ate fried rice or fried noodles."

"However, here, the cheap food in Chinese restaurants is widely welcomed because only this group of people eat The owner of the restaurant dares to deliver food to the poor community after nine o'clock. He is not afraid of the hidden gentlemen who roam the streets and may lose control at any time, and the gangsters who may break into the house to rob... They want money but not life. "

"In addition, although their drinks are a bit expensive, the staple food is large and full, and the taste is good. Moreover, the food without cheese tastes good even if it is cold. If the pizza is at this temperature, it will be inedible. "

Eddie took out a toothpick, shaved his teeth, and then skillfully stacked the takeout boxes together, stuffed them into the bag, tied a knot, and placed it on the table at the door.

"How long can I live here?" Schiller asked.

"You can stay as long as you want." Eddie said without any concern: "Anyway, you are much better than Thor. When Thor lived next door to me, Venom kept shouting that he was allergic, but now that you are here, Venom is much quieter."

Just when he said this, Eddie heard his door being knocked "bang bang bang". He immediately showed a vigilant look, walked to the door, took out a pistol from the corner of the shoe cabinet, leaned against the door, and looked through the peephole.

Seeing the face in the peephole, he was stunned for a moment, then put away the pistol, opened the door, looked at the blond man outside the door and said: "Thor, why are you here?"

Thor outside the door was wearing human clothes, a watch, and even carrying a few gift bags. He rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Um... Eddie, long time no see, can I stay here for a while?"

Before Eddie could speak, venom burst out of his body, and a black head popped out from behind Eddie, grinning and saying to Thor, "Get out! Weaklings are not welcome here!"

Unexpectedly, Thor seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, and raised the gift bag in his hand and said, "Really? If I leave, this specialty dessert from Asgard can only be taken back to share with the goddesses. . "

Venom's head slowly popped out again, staring at the bag and said, "Asgard also has specialty desserts? Don't you only have steaks and grilled fish?"

Thor snorted coldly and said, "Narrow-minded! Too narrow-minded!"

"Asgard has a long history, how can there be no unique desserts? ...Okay, don't look at me like that, these are Norwegian specialties, apple pie and syrup cookies, I just flew to Norway to buy them, if you don't eat them, I'll leave."

Thor turned around and wanted to leave, the next second, black mucus surged out and swallowed all the gift bags in one gulp. Thor and Eddie exclaimed at the same time, and Venom burped and said:

"It tastes good... Come in."
