In the wealthy town of New York, the sky is always exceptionally blue. Without the light pollution of glass buildings, the low-rise villas with rich colors complement each other with lush shrubs and brightly blooming flowers. The lights
The activity room of Arkham Sanatorium is an independent building. The first floor is an entire hall, and the second floor is connected to the first floor. There is only a glass floor loft on the far right side, where two streamlined single-person weapons are placed.
Chair and coffee table in modernist style.
Schiller, who was sitting on a chair on one side, looked at the record document in his hand and said: "Mr. Block, please forgive me for calling you with such an unfamiliar title. It's just that we are talking about mental health-related topics now. I
Personal relationships should be avoided as much as possible.”
"It is very regrettable that the most basic psychological examination done by Dr. Owen and the comprehensive mental state assessment report written by Miss Lord show that your current state is indeed not good. Can you tell me what's wrong with you?
?”
Eddie Brock, who was sitting in another chair, did look very haggard. He was wearing a gray dark blue plaid shirt and a black leather jacket. His hair was messy, and his beard was not clean, and he was almost dead.
It spread to the neck.
Although he looked like a tramp, the black-rimmed glasses on his face still reminded others that he was a reporter engaged in civilian work, but his tanned skin became inexplicable.
"Mr. Bullock, I don't think the ultraviolet amplification effect of the windows of the newspaper office would be so obvious, or what happened to you when you went to the beach for vacation?" Seeing that Eddie was silent and did not answer, Schiller asked further.
"I resign." Deng
Eddie's voice was very hoarse when he spoke. He closed his eyes, swallowed again, swallowed the nauseating taste of alcohol in his mouth, and said: "I had a little conflict with my immediate boss. In order to prevent
The venom hurt him and I resigned."
Schiller raised his eyebrows slightly, showed a clear expression, nodded and said: "It seems that you have not completely lost your mind. What I mean is that your immediate boss's head should still be on your head."
Bar?"
"The venom wanted to eat him." Eddie showed pain and continued in a trembling tone: "I tried my best to stop him, which is why I am so tired."
"Venom believes that the editor-in-chief of the newspaper is an evil villain because he described the people at the bottom who protested against the shuttle operation as brainless idiots and said that their violent protests were terrorist attacks."
"The community I live in is not a middle-class community. There are too many unemployed people, refugees and outsiders. They used to rely on the bus transportation system to eat, but now their jobs are gone. They can only take to the streets to protest, but
No one paid attention to them, so they tried every means to destroy the shuttle transportation route."
"Venom felt that the editor-in-chief wanted to cover the people's mouths, prevent them from speaking, and wanted to oppress them, so his solution was to eat the editor-in-chief. But I stopped him, and he felt that I had betrayed him."
Eddie covered his eyes with his hands and said: "But the editor-in-chief was actually right. Because I lived among them, I knew that someone was deliberately leading them to vent their emotions, leading them to smash, smash, and rob, and even let fly
The shuttle crashed, killing the people riding the shuttle." Lantern.
"Some people want to provoke conflicts, make both sides fight bloody, and then take advantage of the opportunity to profit. Whether it is the protesting grassroots people or the editor-in-chief who accuses them, they are just intensifying the conflicts. I can't let them do what they want, but
Venom doesn't understand this, he's as childish as a child."
"We have been quarreling for the past few days, whether sleeping or working, and those terrible thoughts of cannibalism are swirling in my heart."
"In the past, although Venom would feel hungry, he would not convey these thoughts to me, but now those terrible negative emotions keep pouring into my mind, and I can't control it at all."
"Eddie, Eddie..." Schiller called softly, pulling Eddie out of that terrible fantasy. As soon as Eddie turned his head, he saw the calm and gentle face of the psychiatrist.
But this didn't make Eddie feel better at all. He shook his head in despair and exhaled: "Venom also thinks that I should do this. He feels that the whole world stands with Stark, and I must also stand with Stark."
These desperate poor people stand together."
"It may be hard for you to believe that a creature that looks so evil can have a heart as pure as a child. I saw a pure white heart in the middle of the black slime. He looked like Peter Parker.
.”
"Maybe he is Peter Parker. Peter used to be his host, but this originally reckless boy has moved on, but Venom, Venom is because of me, because I am not a genius, I am just an ordinary person, and he is still trapped
In situ." Lamp
Eddie's eyes were red, and he was obviously trapped in his own hallucination again. He said: "I couldn't give him anything good at all. There was no wisdom, no kindness, only entanglement, contradiction and pain."
"I went deep into the lives of the poor. I saw unemployed bus drivers, street vendors and conductors living on the streets in despair because they could not pay off their credit cards. I saw their family's quality of life plummeting, even their children.
Transfer schools.”
"But I also saw that the technical staff of the Stark Group were running around on various lines, maintaining the shuttle equipment, collecting experimental data, and constantly improving the line planning. The cargo volume of the skytrain was increasing day by day, and the new
The bridge and harbor bring new homes to life."
"Faced with these disparate situations, I don't have the genius and inspiration to come up with a perfect solution that satisfies everyone. I can only suffer myself, and Venom is also in pain. It's me who makes him suffer."
"Eddie, you don't realize that you are also a genius." Schiller spoke slowly, and his voice sounded a little unreal to Eddie's ears. Eddie heard the psychiatrist say: "These pains of yours"
Contradiction is precisely the manifestation of innate spirituality. You are a natural philosopher and psychologist, and you are rich in this aspect."
"Venom will feel pain, not because you haven't given him anything, but because you have given him these naturally melancholy philosophies and your pessimistic ambivalence, and he will feel pain.
."
"But this doesn't make any sense." Eddie closed his eyes and shook his head, licked his dry lips and said, "Look, Peter Parker gave Venom a kind and firm heart, and Tony Stark gave him
The wisdom of Venom's genius is a weapon that makes him stronger and more perfect, but what about me? What's the use of those contradictions and philosophies?" Lamp
Schiller looked at Eddie helplessly and said: "Obviously, you can't calm down now and look at the relationship between you and Venom objectively. You should both calm down and think about your impact on each other."
Schiller flipped through the document in his hand, and then said: "I will contact the Blue Spirit who are staying on the planet Klinta. In a sense, the Blue Spirit is also the guardian of Venom. You should discuss this issue with experience
Let’s talk about a richer cosmic symbiote.”
"I won't talk to them." Venom's deep voice burst out from Eddie's mouth, almost like a gunshot. He said: "Those idiots will only advise me to obey the host and treat this as a job, but I
I never wanted to do that."
"But in fact, this is a job." Schiller said in a calm tone: "The relationship between the symbiote and the host should be viewed more rationally. Excessive possessiveness will make both of you very painful."
"Ha, of course you can say this!" Venom's voice revealed anger: "There are hundreds of you in your soul, and there are people who accompany you every day, and I just want Eddie to understand more
I, I only have him!"
"But your exchange of ideas has brought pain to both him and you." Schiller shook his head, obviously disapproving, and said: "No one wants to separate you, but the way you combine and communicate now is obvious
Something went wrong."
"You are constantly moving forward, constantly expressing emotions, trying to make Eddie listen to you in a straightforward and rude way. Eddie is afraid and shy about this, but at the same time he doesn't want to hurt you. He is so rude because of you.
Feeling ashamed because he feels that he has led you wrong." Deng.
"That's how I am!" Venom shouted, "I'm just an evil symbiote that wants to eat people's heads, and I'll always be like this!"
Schiller sighed. He thought Eddie was right. Venom was always like a child, but he really couldn't be blamed.
Venom is a bit like an autistic child among the cosmic symbiote race. In some aspects, he has unparalleled powerful talents, but the price is that in some aspects, he is always stuck in the same place and unable to move forward.
He has absorbed countless energies, his symbiote factors are healthy and strong, and he has inherited the wisdom of Peter Bruce and Stark. Those colorful symbiotes tied together may not be his opponent.
But only in terms of emotions, whether it's how to deal with one's own emotions or how to accept and understand the emotions of others, Venom can't always grasp the scale well.
But this requirement is indeed a bit high. After all, humans with rich emotions may not be able to master this skill in their lifetime. It is normal for the venom of a blank sheet of paper to be unable to handle emotions freely.
When he absorbs emotions, he is demanding, constantly asking Eddie to pay attention to him, recognize him, and love him, just like a crying child. But when he exports emotions, because the emotions are too abundant and difficult to express, he looks like a child.
Groundless accusations and mindless pouring. Lamp
But Eddie and Schiller are exactly the same kind of people. Their thinking is more inclined to philosophical thinking than rational calculation. Pessimism is the label of every natural philosopher. The venomous emotions make him very painful, and because
The two of them are indistinguishable from each other and cannot escape or breathe.
Schiller stared at the series of conclusions in the report document and felt a little helpless. His expression towards Eddie was very tactful. In fact, the evaluation report given by the professionals in Arkham Sanatorium can be said to be very pessimistic.
Long-term unhealthy psychological conditions may induce mental disorders and harm the body. Schiller is a psychiatrist, so he must solve this problem.
Schiller just opened his mouth, intending to give Venom and Eddie some advice, probably to let them build independent spaces for each other in their hearts with the help of psychology, but at this time Venom said directly:
"Okay, you said he was in pain for this, and I felt it too. His pain is all my fault, okay?"
"As his good buddy, oh, that's what he thinks. I should be like his bad friend, appearing when he needs me and disappearing when he doesn't need me. Obviously he doesn't need me now. I will immediately
Just leave and I will never bother him again!"
After saying that, Eddie stood up, and Schiller also stood up. He walked quickly in front of Eddie, blocked his movement with one side, and said: "Calm down, Venom, don't do this, this
The matter is not that difficult to solve, as long as you listen to professional advice..." Deng
"Get out of the way." With a swish, countless black symbiotic factors wrapped around Eddie's body, and Venom's face appeared. He bared his fangs and said to Schiller: "Don't bother me with what you and Gray Mist are doing.
And Eddie, this is our business, get out of the way."
"Leave him alone, Schiller." Gray Fog's voice sounded in Schiller's heart: "Come to the roof and read a book. I want to finish calculus today, and then we can understand it together. You can understand it now.
"
"I'll come."
While Schiller answered the gray fog, he watched Venom jump onto the roof of the New York Skyline Building. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling, because Venom turned in a different direction and headed towards Stark Tower.
And now Stark is not the only one in Stark Tower.
Looking at Venom's back, Schiller whispered.
"Wish him good luck. Maybe he can help me figure out what those two damn geniuses want to do." Deng.
