"Hello? Annie, this is Eddie, Eddie Brock. Don't hang up the phone yet. Give me three minutes. I want to tell you something very important."
"Just yesterday, I was attacked by two unidentified killers and are 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 were 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 might be brewing a big conspiracy."
"The reason I'm 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 peek at the information on your computer, but now things have developed to this point, they sent a killer to hunt me down, if I don't solve this trouble, there will never be peace.
day."
"So I hope you can provide me with some information you know. You don't have to rush to answer me. Protect yourself. Goodbye."
Eddie hung up the phone. He looked at the phone blankly. After being stunned for a few seconds, he covered his eyes and said: "Oh my god! How can I talk to Annie in this tone? She will think I'm crazy."
of……"
"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's obvious 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 over there:
"Eddie, are you okay? Are you really being hunted? Where are you now? Hello? Answer me, you should call the police..."
"There's no point calling the police, Annie, the police can't control the Hand's killers. Their last partner was Kingpin, the controller of the entire East Coast criminal empire. They've already targeted 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 bit of disbelief. She said: "Eddie, if your voice hadn't changed, I would have thought it wasn't you. You never
You have never spoken to me in such a calm tone."
"Listen, I actually know that the Life Foundation is not a just organization. The legal dispute they asked me to resolve for them is also related to human experimentation. But you said they sent killers to hunt you down? This makes me a little bit unbelievable.
But if this is really true, you'd better hide as soon as possible."
Anne is worthy of being an elite lawyer. Although her tone is a little anxious, her thoughts are still clear. She said: "I know that Derek is not a good person, but my boss asked me to defend him. This is what the lawyer profession is like. We don't look at the client."
position."
"But I personally support you punching him, and I will be so angry afterwards just because you invaded my privacy and did it without communicating with me at all. I am angry that you don't trust me and insist on having your own way.
Reckless impulsiveness..."
"Annie, my time is very tight. We will discuss the matter between the two of us later."
Anne on the opposite side was silent for a moment, sighed, and finally said: "The Life Foundation researcher Dora I was dealing with had a wavering attitude. When we contacted each other privately, she complained to me that his boss was too cold.
, will only pursue interests."
"She once revealed that she no longer wants to work for Drake. I can give you her contact information. She should have the information you want."
Annie heard no response from the other end of the phone. 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 tone: "When I get rid of these troubles, I will solve the problem between the two of us.
thing, if I was still alive at that time."
There was a busy signal of hanging up on the phone. Anne took a deep breath and threw the phone on the bed. She leaned sideways on the bedside and covered her eyes in pain.
"Eddie, it would be nice if you could be so calm earlier." Annie whispered.
After Eddie hung up the phone, he took a painful breath and murmured to himself: "She gave me useful information so easily, so what were we arguing about here before?"
"Why do you think she was so angry before? You don't think she broke up with you because she supported Drake, right?"
Eddie opened his mouth, and Venom continued in his heart: "You really deserved 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 don't say anything."
Just when Eddie was about to open his mouth to refute, his phone vibrated, and Annie sent a text message, which contained the contact information of Dora, a researcher at the Life Foundation.
That night, in front of an apartment in Manhattan, Dora was rummaging through her handbag for the key card. A black figure stood at the end of the alley. The light from the streetlight cast a long shadow in front of him.
The shadow was like a dark blade, cutting across the alley wall.
"What the hell is this?" Eddie looked down at his palms. The back of his hands was covered with a layer of black gauntlets. He turned his head and saw his own figure reflected in the window of the nearby apartment building.
.
At this time, Eddie was wearing a black suit. The suit was entirely dark, with a soft lining on the inside, a light armor on the outside, and a cape behind him.
Eddie's head is completely wrapped in mechanical armor, and there is a pattern similar to a bat on his chest. The bat is surrounded by lines similar to spider webs.
I have to admit, this suit looks very handsome, with smooth lines, futuristic mechanical joints, and weird but gothic patterns. Eddie thinks it's so cool to wear it to save the world. The only problem is
that is……
"But what's going on 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 this robot had two pointed ears on its head.
"That's the point." Venom told Eddie firmly: "As long as you have these two ears, you will never die, because you are Bat...Venom Man."
"Venom Man? This name sounds too evil...Okay, what should we do next?"
"If you don't know what to do, just look down at the pattern on your chest and follow your instincts, and 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. When she turned around, a tall black shadow appeared in the shadow of the corridor.
Just when Dora was about to scream, the black shadow appeared behind her, covered her mouth and said, "Don't make any noise, let's go in and talk."
With that said, he 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 took off. He said to Dora: "You should know me,
I'm the reporter who punched Drake when he was interviewing him a few days ago. My name is Eddie, Eddie Brock."
Dora's eyes widened. She stood up holding the back of the sofa and said tremblingly: "You...you seem to be that Bullock, but..."
Eddie's voice was very low, and he said to Dora: "Because I exposed Drake's despicable behavior of experimenting on human bodies, now I am in trouble. He is cooperating with another evil organization, and their killer is hunting him down."
I."
Dora pushed up her glasses, stood up straight, and said, "Actually, I planned to find you, but I didn't expect you to come to me first."
"Why are you looking for me?"
Dora sighed. After discovering that Eddie was not a kidnapper, she gradually relaxed. Then she pointed to the wall behind Eddie and said, "Press the switch above and turn on the light. Thank you."
"
Only then did Eddie realize that there were no lights in the apartment, but he could see very clearly. When did he have night vision?
He followed Dora's instructions and turned around to turn on the light. The sudden light made Eddie cover his eyes with his arms. 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 don't have anything to entertain guests, I can at least sit down and have a drink of water."
Bar?"
As she said this, she wiped her hands on her pants in embarrassment and said, "I don't have many friends. People don't come to my house very often. I apologize for my poor hospitality."
Eddie shook his head in silence. 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...that's the kind of person you are."
More...a person with a sense of justice."
"You can just say that I am the kind of impulsive person."
"No, that's not what I meant. In fact, I think you did the right thing. The punch you gave him really relieved him."
"You seem to be very dissatisfied with your boss."
Dora pursed her lips, her expression was very complicated. She turned back and turned her back to Eddie and said: "I don't know how to describe it. As a boss, he is actually pretty good. He gave me a very high salary."
.”
"But he is not a good person. He can even be said to be very evil. You don't know what he did in the laboratory..."
"That's what I wanted to hear."
Dora bit her lip and 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.
Punch him in front of so many people."
Dora seemed to have figured this out. She sighed and said, "He is indeed conducting experiments on human bodies, and they are some very cruel and inhumane experiments."
"What exactly is the experiment?"
"You should know about the immortality factor, right?"
"I've heard a lot of people mention it."
"Drake is extracting the immortality factor from an unknown creature."
"But I heard, isn't that thing extracted from vampires?"
"This is indeed the case with normal immortality factors, but vampires are strictly controlled by the authorities. The few that are left are with the Stark Group or the Osborn Group, and the Life Foundation cannot get them."
Dora pushed up her glasses again and continued: "But Derek saw the huge benefits in the field of immortality factors, and he also wanted a share of the pie."
"The Life Foundation and the Osborne Group are in a competitive relationship. They are both developers of biotechnology. It is impossible for the Osborne Group to give them precious vampire raw materials."
"But I heard that the Life Foundation has also developed an immortality factor potion."
"Yes, but that medicine is not extracted from vampires, but from another alien creature."
"What the hell is that?"
Dora turned to look at Eddie again and said, "I can't describe it to you, but I can take you to see it."
