Chapter 198 Why Are You so Skilled? (Part 1)
"Hello? Annie, this is Eddie, Eddie Brock, don't hang up yet, give me three minutes, I want to tell you something very important."
"Just yesterday, I was attacked by two unidentified killers and am now on the run. There is evidence that these killers may be related to Drake, the boss of the Life Foundation I interviewed before."
"The two killers who attacked me came from a mysterious organization called the Hand. People who were investigating this organization rescued me. They told me that the Hand and the Life Foundation may be brewing a big conspiracy."
"The purpose of calling you is that I hope you can help me. I need more information about Drake."
"I know I should apologize to you. I shouldn't have peeked at the information in your computer, but now things have developed to this point. They sent The killer is hunting me down. If I don't solve this problem, there will be no peace. "
"So I hope you can provide me with some information you know. Don't rush to answer me. Protect yourself. Goodbye. "
Eddie hung up the phone. He stared at the phone blankly. After a few seconds of being in a daze, he covered his eyes and said, "Oh my God! How can I talk to Annie in this tone? ? She will think I'm crazy..."
"What am I talking about? I told him my name is Eddie Brock..." Eddie took a deep breath and said, "Who do I think I am, an FBI agent?"
"It can be seen that you don't understand women's hearts at all." Venom's voice sounded in Eddie's mind. Just as Eddie was about to refute him, the phone in his hand rang, and Annie's anxious voice came from the other side:
"Eddie, are you okay? Are you really being hunted? Where are you now? Hello? Answer me, you should call the police..."
"It's no use calling the police, Annie. The police can't control the killers of the Hand. Their last partner was Kingpin, the controller of the criminal empire of the entire East Coast. They have already set their sights on me, so I have to leave here for a while..."
"Wait! Eddie!" Annie's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a little disbelief. 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, I actually know that the Life Foundation is not a justice organization. The legal dispute they asked me to solve for them was also related to human experiments, but you said they sent killers to hunt you? This makes me a little unbelievable, but if this is really the case, you'd better hide quickly Come."
Annie is indeed an elite lawyer. Although her tone is a little anxious, her thoughts are still clear. She said: "I know Drake is not a good person, but my boss asked me to defend him. This is the way lawyers work. We don't look at the client's position."
"But I personally support you to punch him. I was so angry afterwards, just because you violated my privacy and did it without communicating with me at all. I was angry that you didn't trust me, and you were stubborn and reckless..."
"Annie, my time is very tight. Let's talk about the matter between the two of us later."
Annie on the other side was silent for a while, sighed, and finally said: "Dora, the Life Foundation researcher who contacted me, was wavering. When we contacted privately, she complained to me that her boss was too indifferent and only pursued interests."
"She once revealed that she didn't want to work for Drake anymore. I can give you her contact information. She should have the information you want."
Annie listened to the no echo 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. Anne heard him say in a low voice: "When I get rid of these troubles, I will solve the matter between the two of us, if I am still alive at that time."
The busy tone came from the phone. Anne took a deep breath and threw the phone on the bed. She leaned against the head of the bed and covered her eyes with some pain.
"Eddie, if you could calm down earlier." Anne whispered.
After Eddie hung up the phone, he also took a breath in pain and muttered to himself: "She gave me useful information so easily, so what 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, do you? "
Eddie opened his mouth, and Venom continued to say in his heart: "You deserve to be dumped. Obviously, she just wants you to explain to him, and hopes that you can calm down and communicate with her, and tell her why you did this, but you said nothing. "
Just when Eddie was about to open his mouth to refute, his phone vibrated. Annie sent him a text message with the contact information of Dora, a researcher at the Life Foundation.
That night, in front of an apartment in Manhattan, Dora was looking for the door card with her handbag. A black figure stood at the end of the alley. The light from the street lamp cast a long shadow in front of him. The shadow was like a black blade, cutting across the alley wall.
"What on earth is this?" Eddie looked down at his palm. The back of his hand was covered with a layer of black gauntlet. He turned his head and saw his figure reflected in the window of the apartment building next to him.
At this time, Eddie was wearing a black battle armor. The whole suit was black, with a soft lining inside and a thin armor outside. There was also a cape behind him.
Eddie's head was completely wrapped in mechanical armor. There was a bat-like pattern on his chest, and the bat was surrounded by lines similar to spider webs.
I have to admit that this suit looks very handsome, with smooth lines, futuristic mechanical joints, and weird 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 in confusion.
The helmet of the suit completely wrapped Eddie's head, making him look like a robot, but there were two pointed ears on the robot's head.
"That's the point." Venom told Eddie firmly: "As long as you have these two ears, you will never die, because you are the bat... Venom."
"Venom? This name sounds too evil...Okay, what should we do next?"
"If you don't know what to do, look down at the pattern on your chest, and then follow your instinct, it will give you the answer."
Ten minutes later, Dora was taking out the key to open the door of her apartment. At this time, she heard some noises behind her. She turned around and a tall black shadow appeared in the shadow of the corridor.
Dora was about to scream when the black shadow appeared behind her, covered her mouth and said, "Don't make a sound, let's go in and talk."
He then pulled Dora into her apartment. After the door was closed, Dora collapsed on the ground in fear. The mechanical helmet wrapped around Eddie's head was removed. He said to Dora, "You should know me. I'm the reporter who punched Drake when I was interviewing him a few days ago. My name is Eddie, Eddie Brock."
Dora's eyes widened. She stood up with the back of the sofa and said tremblingly, "You...you seem to be the Brock, but..."
Eddie's voice was very low. He said to Dora, "Because I revealed I've been exposed to Drake's despicable behavior of using human bodies for experiments, and now I'm in trouble. He's working with another evil organization, and their killers are hunting me down. "
Dora pushed her glasses, stood up straight, and said, "Actually, I was going to find you, but I didn't expect you to come to me first."
"Why did you come to me?"
Dora sighed, and after finding out that Eddie was not a kidnapper, she gradually relaxed, and then pointed to the wall behind Eddie and said, "Press the switch on it and turn on the light, 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 as Dora said. The sudden light made Eddie cover his eyes with his arm. He found that he was actually a little uncomfortable with the light.
Dora walked to the sofa and sat down, but Eddie did not move, still standing in the corner of the room. Dora looked back at him and said, "Although I have nothing to entertain guests, can you at least sit down and drink some water?"
As she said that, she wiped her hands on her pants in embarrassment and said, "I don't have many friends, and people don't come to my house often. I hope you can forgive me for my poor hospitality."
Eddie shook his head silently. Dora turned around, held the back of the sofa, looked at Eddie and said, "You are completely different from what I imagined. I thought you would be that kind of person... that kind of person who is more...just."
"You can just say that I am the kind of person who is more impulsive."
"No, that's not what I mean. In fact, I think you did the right thing. The punch you gave him was really refreshing."
"You seem to be very dissatisfied with your boss."
Dora pursed her lips, her expression was very complicated, she turned back, her back to Eddie and said, "I don't know how to describe it. If you are A boss, he is actually not bad, he gave me a high salary. "
"But he is not a good person, even very evil, you don't know what he did in the laboratory..."
"I just want to hear this part."
Dora bit her lip, seemed a little entangled, then Eddie's voice came: "You don't have to worry at all, if I have any possibility of agreeing with Drake's approach, I won't risk ruining my career and punch him in front of so many people."
Dora seemed to have figured this out, she sighed and said: "He is indeed using human bodies for experiments, and they are some very cruel and inhumane experiments."
"What experiments are they specifically?"
"You should know the immortality factor, right?"
"I've heard many people mention it."
"Drake is extracting the immortality factor from an unknown creature."
"But I heard that thing is not extracted from vampires?"
"It is true for normal immortality factors, but vampires are strictly controlled by the government, and the few that exist are all in the Stark Group or the Osborn Group, so the Life Foundation can't get them."
Dora pushed her glasses again and continued, "But Drake saw the huge benefits in the field of immortality factors, and he also wanted to get a piece of the pie."
"The Life Foundation and the Osborn Group are competitors. They are both developers of biotechnology, and the Osborn Group can't give them precious vampire raw materials."
"But I heard that the Life Foundation also made immortality factor potions."
"That's right, but that potion is not extracted from vampires, but from another alien creature."
"What exactly is that?"
Dora turned to look at Eddie again, and he said, "I can't describe it to you, but I can take you to see it."
