Chapter 701

Francis Barrison was just about to press for the details of what this important news was, but her expression suddenly froze, and she asked tentatively, unable to believe it: "You, can you say that again?"

"Say it again? Say what? I didn't say anything!"

Su Quan feigned confusion and denied it, but Francis Barrison had heard something else.

"If nothing goes wrong, Cletus Kasady will be here to rescue you soon."

"Is this news important?"

Prison.

Cletus Kasady, a serial killer about to be executed, made his final request.

He wanted to see two people.

One was Eddie Brock, a reporter with whom he had a history; the other was Su Quan, a benefactor who had helped him improve his life in his final days.

A few hours later.

In a special cell, Cletus Kasady, dressed in an orange prison uniform, saw Su Quan and a sullen-faced Eddie Brock as he had wished.

Eddie Brock and Venom had already made up their minds to avoid Su Quan in the future, but they never expected to see him in such a setting.

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

It’s as if he’s haunting them, oh no, it’s like it’s destined!

Su Quan looked at Eddie Brock and said playfully: "What’s with that expression? Do you really not want to see me? Don't forget, I’m your savior. Without me, you would have died even earlier than him!"

"I didn't, I don't, don't talk nonsense!"

Eddie Brock denied it three times in a row. After all, even if he wanted to avoid Su Quan, he couldn't admit or show it openly.

After all, Su Quan was indeed their savior. Someone saved you, yet you avoid them—is that appropriate?

"I'm not avoiding you, it's just... I just didn't expect you to be here too! You, do you know him?" Eddie Brock finished and asked curiously.

"He is my benefactor!"

The one who answered him was Cletus Kasady in the cell.

"Benefactor?"

Eddie Brock was very puzzled. He couldn't imagine what kind of favor Su Quan could have done for a murderer like Cletus Kasady; after all, no matter how you looked at it, it was unlikely they would have any intersection.

Cletus Kasady did not satisfy Eddie Brock's curiosity, but instead laughed and said: "You must be very happy today, Eddie Brock."

"A brilliant report, the magical road of suffering has ended!"

"I worry about your soul. How will you bear the pressure of taking a person's life?"

Cletus Kasady's voice was full of laughter, but it was a mocking and angry laugh.

"I'm not happy at all!" Eddie Brock muttered in his heart, then said: "I hope you can give me some guidance."

"Hehehe..."

"You are an interesting little guy, aren't you?" Cletus Kasady laughed, a somewhat abnormal laugh.

It must be said, he and Francis Barrison were indeed a good match; both of them were mentally unstable.

Eddie Brock took out a recorder and placed it on the crossbar of the cell gate. He had come to see Cletus Kasady one last time to get more inside information on the case.

Although Cletus Kasady, this murderous maniac, had already been convicted and was about to be executed, there were still many details that had not been revealed.

It was precisely because of this that the police agreed to Cletus Kasady's request, allowing Eddie Brock and Su Quan to see him one last time.

Otherwise, Su Quan might have been fine, but Eddie Brock, as a reporter, wouldn't have been allowed in.

Especially since Eddie Brock had previously played a trick on the officer in charge of this case—the very Officer Patrick Mulligan who had once captured and blinded one of Francis Barrison's eyes, and who later became Toxin.

"Every decision you make, who we leave, how we leave them, a marital bed, empty, waiting in the dark for a savior who will never come."

"Because you, you are just like me!"

Cletus Kasady recited a string of illogical and unrelated words as if they were poetry.

"No, we are not the same!" Eddie Brock retorted.

He knew Cletus Kasady was a psychopath, but he still listened very carefully, trying to analyze useful clues from this illogical content.

"Twisted heart, violent father, you are like my kin, Eddie, like family!"

"Actually, what I really want in this world is—family."

Eddie Brock was unimpressed and said coldly: "Killing your grandmother and mother, that's certainly an interesting way to show it!"

"Is there anything else you want to let go of? Before you are executed."

"Yes, I have a blessing to bestow upon you." Cletus Kasady nodded and stood up, walking to the front of Eddie Brock.

The two were separated by the bars.

"I bless you—with a broken heart!"

"I bless you to live a lonely life, as always!"

A blessing?

A curse, more like.

I knew you weren't that kind-hearted.

Eddie Brock was unimpressed: "What do you want to say?"

"Eddie, you are the cancer to everyone who loves you. You deceive those who trust you! No wonder your father doesn't look at you anymore, after you killed his wife, your mother, the moment you were born!"

Cletus Kasady's voice grew lower and deeper. His words were like a pair of scissors, tearing open the scar in Eddie Brock's heart.

Anger burned.

Eddie Brock held back, but Venom, who felt what he felt, could not. It directly extended biological fluid to stick to Cletus Kasady and slammed him hard against the wall behind him.

"No, don't..."

Eddie Brock pressed tightly against the bars, listening to Venom standing up for him while watching Cletus Kasady being smashed around.

"Bang!"

Cletus Kasady was dragged back and slammed against the bars, but his reaction was fast. Upon realizing he was close to Eddie Brock, he grabbed Eddie Brock's wrist and bit down hard.

Eddie Brock screamed in pain instantly.

The guards, who had finally reacted, arrived late and pulled Eddie Brock away.

Cletus Kasady, with a ferocious face and blood on the corner of his mouth, was somewhat dazed. He looked at Eddie Brock and slowly spoke with an expression of disbelief.

"I've tasted blood, friend, but that was different."

"Eddie Brock has a shocking secret!"

While he was speaking, the guards took Eddie Brock out. After all, a conflict had occurred, and it was no longer suitable to continue the visit.

Originally, the guards also wanted Su Quan to leave, but Su Quan hadn't officially started his visit yet, so he signaled with his eyes. Confirming that Su Quan was not prepared to leave, they took Eddie Brock out first.

Cletus Kasady wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his finger, then discovered that the blood on his fingertip was slightly surging, and a few tiny, wiggling tentacles actually emerged.

This is not normal!

This is absolutely not normal!

"Hey!"

Su Quan's shout attracted Cletus Kasady's attention. Cletus Kasady turned his head to look at Su Quan, but his head suddenly twitched with pain for a moment.

Immediately after, he discovered that Su Quan hadn't opened his mouth, but his voice had sounded in his mind.

"Ravencroft Institute, the one you love is there."

Cletus Kasady narrowed his eyes and smiled in disbelief.

Not only did Eddie Brock have a big secret, but his own benefactor also had secrets!
