Chapter 674 Dad's Big Fight (Part 1)
After hearing those burps, the people around the energy center were stunned for a moment. As Schiller roared, Strange raised his staff, hammered the ground hard and said:
"Go check immediately, where does that branch channel lead to!"
Ancient One had narrowed her eyes, and the magic light was looming on one of her hands. As long as she heard that the other side was a demon from a certain dimension, she would immediately chop the other side into pieces along the network cable.
Loki crossed his arms and looked a little disappointed. He would not miss any opportunity to accumulate capital for Asgard. Therefore, he would participate in the various plans of the human organization and provide them with endorsements as the Prince of Asgard.
Nick looked normal. The director had seen too many storms and waves. He was more confident than these people. No one could steal the electricity he wanted to steal in advance. If there was, he just needed to get it back from the other party several times.
Several people regarded the person who stole electricity in advance as an enemy. After all, a plan failed at the last minute, which meant there was a conspiracy. Human civilization has come to this day, and everything has developed too smoothly. It is time to face some setbacks.
Several people have their own ideas, but suddenly, a wizard walked out of the portal and said: "Supreme Sorcerer, I found out that this energy channel did not leave the earth, and the landing point is somewhere on the earth."
Instantly, everyone narrowed their eyes and showed a suspicious expression. They were not afraid of external enemies, but only of internal ghosts. If there were bad people among the crowd, that would be the worst result.
"Can you find the landing point?" Strange looked at the wizard seriously and asked, and Nick walked up and said directly: "Give me an address, no matter where he is, the SHIELD agent will arrive immediately."
If there is a person who has been staying on the earth, but can spy on the entire plan of the four-person group, plunder the fruits at the end of the plan, and can remain undetected throughout the whole process, then the matter is very serious.
Soon, Strange closed his eyes and began to meditate on the magic defense network of the earth, and then traced its landing point through the branch line of the energy channel. Because it did not leave the earth, Strange found the location almost instantly.
He waved his hand and opened a portal. Except for Ancient One who remained in Kamar-Taj, the others walked in, and they walked in with eagerness and gnashing teeth.
If this plan is difficult to succeed from the beginning, it will not be so annoying if it does not achieve results in the end. If this plan is too simple, several people may also feel that there are traps in it, and it will not be too unexpected to be tricked in the end.
However, this plan is the kind that has difficulties to overcome, but it can be solved with current technical means. There may be setbacks, but it is generally going smoothly. This kind of plan is very confusing, which makes people feel that the results are hard-won, but they should also belong to themselves.
So, when the results are not satisfactory, people will be particularly angry.
Several people followed the network cable to the target location, and in the process of passing through the portal, they imagined various situations, such as, there were three hundred axemen who surrounded them as soon as they landed, or there was a big devil who looked like Mephisto, sitting on the throne of the palace, with an imposing manner.
However, as soon as they landed, they saw Eddie Brock leaning on the sofa, holding a large bucket of cheese balls in his hands. When several people arrived, he was opening a can of beer and pouring it into his mouth.
The leader Strange was stunned. He looked at Eddie and asked, "Why are you here?"
And Schiller had already begun to look at the surrounding environment. This is a well-decorated apartment. Although it is close to Hell's Kitchen, it is also a neighborhood with relatively high land prices, which is in line with Eddie's current income level. Looking at his relaxed posture, it is just like being at home. This should be Eddie's current residence.
It is obvious that Eddie has no motive to steal electricity. If anyone has a motive, it is of course...
"Venom, come out, let's talk!" Schiller walked up to Eddie and said, Eddie shook his head and said, "He went to sleep."
"Sleep? Why would he sleep?" Schiller squinted and looked at Eddie, because as far as he knew, the symbiote only needed to sleep to digest after absorbing a lot of energy.
Schiller scanned the surroundings again. It was obvious that there was more than one person here just now. Venom should be working with someone. Suddenly, Schiller squatted down, stretched out his hand, and wiped the bottom of the sofa. There was nothing on his hand, but Gray Mist felt it. He said to Schiller in his heart: "...It's a symbiote. This symbiote factor should belong to the one we have contacted before...Blue Spirit?" "Come out quickly, Venom. I know you are not asleep. Don't think that we can't do anything by using Eddie as a shield." Schiller snorted coldly and turned to look at Nick. Nick cleared his throat and said: "The recent stock price of Global Times is not very optimistic. The management seems to have plans to reduce the salary of editors in various sections..." "Okay, I'm out." Venom's hoarse voice came out from Eddie's throat, but it was not difficult to hear that he was indeed sleepy. Schiller stood in front of him with his hands on his waist and asked: "It's you who stole my electricity?" Schiller asked. "Your electricity? Did you pray?" Venom asked back.
"Of course not, but who are they praying to? Isn't it the bat totem?" Schiller continued to ask.
"Is the bat totem yours?" Venom asked again.
"I ask you, why was the bat totem born?" Schiller looked at Venom and asked, without waiting for Venom to answer, he said: "If there was no plan I had to deal with vampires, how could the bat god be born? If the bat god was not born, how could the bat totem appear? If the bat totem did not appear, who would they pray to? If they did not pray, where would the electricity come from? So I said that this electricity is mine, what's the problem?"
Venom was shocked by his shamelessness, but he was not so easy to deal with. He said: "You made a plan, but who executed it at the beginning?"
"But if I don't make it, how can you execute it?"
"If I don't execute it, how can you realize your plan?"
"Gray fog, bite him!"
Instantly, a ball of black fog and a ball of black mucus broke out of the window. The remaining three people stood in a row in front of the window, watching the two symbiotes chasing each other on the New York skyline. Nick looked down at his watch and said, "I guess, at most 5 minutes..."
"I underestimated them, two minutes at most," Strange waved his hand, and the bucket of cheese balls that Eddie hadn't finished eating flew into his hand. He threw a cheese ball into his mouth and chewed it. Before he could swallow the snack, the two symbiotes broke in again.
Schiller, who had transformed back into human form, clapped his hands. Nick walked over and asked in a low voice, "How much did you negotiate?"
"30%, plus a half-percent late payment fee." After Schiller finished speaking, Nick nodded, obviously quite satisfied with the amount, while Venom, who was walking in front, snorted coldly and said, "I stole electricity with great effort, but I have to collect such a high tax! A group of vampires who get something for nothing!"
"Don't think I don't know that the group of symbiotes who left should also have the electricity you stole, right? If you complain again, count their share together and calculate the 35% tax, and then fine the full amount of late payment fee..." Schiller sat directly on the sofa without even looking at Venom.
Nick narrowed his eyes, looked at Venom and said, "You actually used this method to evade taxes? How much energy did they carry? Is it 50% of the energy you carry? The tax bureau? Where is the tax bureau?!"
"Of course not, and they have left the country now. If you want to get them back, go to outer space to find them." Venom said fearlessly.
Venom, who inherited part of the personality of Batman and Stark, certainly knows to prepare for a rainy day, or he knows that he should run away quickly after doing something bad.
The reason why he stayed here was nothing more than to attract the attention of several people so that other symbiotes with a large amount of money could move quickly.
Venom has a very accurate grasp of the psychology of these people. As long as not all of them run away with the money or refuse to pay taxes, they will not be in big trouble. At most, they will have to bleed a little.
If they can be given some other clues to divert their attention, then this matter will probably be over, so Venom said:
"There is one situation, I must tell you, when I was stealing the power of faith, I found that someone might have done it before me." Venom paused, then continued: "I thought it would be you, but now it seems that there is someone else."
The other people looked at each other, and Schiller stared at Venom and said: "You mean, someone stole this power before you? How do you know?"
"When I was meditating, I could see the bat totem. At the beginning, the power of faith on the bat totem was very strong, and I was almost about to completely control it. But when I went there again today, I found that the power of faith became very rare. It was so thin that only a thin layer remained. It looked like it had just been accumulated, which was completely different from the previous accumulation for a long time.
Venom described what he had seen before and gave his own analysis: "During the time when I did not observe the bat totem, someone might have used a similar method as mine to take away the faith power that this group of praying people had accumulated on the bat totem before..."
Finally, Venom said the key point: "And, I can be sure that the other party took more than I did."
Sure enough, after listening to it, several people returned to Kamar-Taj without stopping, because they thought of another branch line observed on the energy channel before. Although they did not see that straight line transmitting energy at that time, it meant that they took action earlier.
And if, as Venom said, they stole more energy, it meant that they had to pay more taxes.
After carefully examining the energy channel, Strange found that there were indeed traces of faith power passing through it, and as for who the other party was, without reasoning, it could be roughly guessed that the Bat God was composed of two people, one was Venom and the other was Peter.
When Strange opened the portal, Schiller said, "Peter would never think of stealing electricity. He is simple and not so wicked. So it is obvious who led him."
Ten minutes later, Pikachu was picked up by Schiller's tail. He waved his four short legs and shouted, "It's not me!!!"
Schiller grabbed his lightning tail, brought him in front of him, looked into his big dark eyes and said: "If it's not you, who else could it be? Every bad habit of Peter is influenced by you. Did he stay up late to play games until 2 a.m.?"
Schiller interrogated Pikachu here, and Strange patted Peter's shoulder and said: "Whatever Pikachu said to you, Peter, forget it, it's wrong, you can't learn from him, he is already an adult... I mean, an adult mouse, but you are different, you just went to college..."
"Well..." Peter showed a tangled expression, but looking at Pikachu who was caught by Schiller and was being rubbed on the cheek, he still couldn't go against his conscience, so he said: "Actually, it's not Pikachu's plan..."
"Not Pikachu? Who is it?" Strange asked in surprise.
"It's... It's Helen."
Several people were stunned. After hearing the name, Loki came out and asked: "Who are you talking about? Helen? But wasn't she born just a few days ago?"
"Well, yes, but she grows very fast, and..."
Before Peter finished speaking, suddenly, a beam of light fell from the center of the room, and a small figure appeared in the beam of light. Helen was floating in the air. Seeing so many people suddenly in the laboratory, she was also stunned.
She glanced at these people in a panic, and then stopped her eyes on Loki. Loki suddenly had a bad premonition. He took two steps back, but still couldn't stop Helen from flying towards him.
With a "bang", Helen slammed Loki into the wall, and a shocking scream resounded over New York:
"Mom... Dad-Dad--!!!!!!"
