Chapter 702
"Cletus Kasady, you have been tried, convicted, and sentenced to death by the state of California."
"May your passing bring closure to the families of the victims, and may you find peace in the afterlife."
In the execution chamber, Cletus Kasady, wearing a white prison uniform, lay on the execution bed with his hands and feet restrained. Outside the transparent execution chamber sat a dozen or so victim family members with sorrowful expressions.
With death approaching, Cletus Kasady's mood seemed even calmer than the victim family members outside. He curled his fingers and murmured softly.
"Chaos will come soon, chaos is coming soon."
"Are these your last words?" the warden asked.
Cletus Kasady raised his head slightly and shouted to the victim family members outside: "Enjoy the show!"
After saying this, he lay back down calmly.
The executioner glanced at the time and nodded to the personnel responsible for operating the equipment.
The button was pressed, and the liquid was slowly injected into Cletus Kasady's body. After just a moment, he could no longer resist the effect of the drug and fell into a deep sleep.
Immediately after, the truly lethal agent was injected.
However, just as the agent was about to be injected into Cletus Kasady's body, a glob of blood pushed against the agent and rushed in along the injection tube.
"Bang!"
An invisible impact sound instantly made Cletus Kasady open his eyes. Inside his body, in his blood vessels, something seemed to be surging.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo..." Amidst his heavy breathing, his body began to twitch violently.
"Evil things are about to happen."
As Cletus Kasady shouted, red branches grew out of his body, and they quickly grew and strengthened.
The warden and the armed guards were terrified by this evil scene. The guards fired several shots, but they caused no damage at all.
The small execution chamber was quickly filled by the red monster. The victim family members outside had poor crisis awareness; only then did they feel something was wrong. They screamed in panic and fled one after another.
Unfortunately, it was a bit too late.
Only a few people ran out; the rest were directly attacked by the red tentacles emerging from the execution chamber. Forget about running—even their screams came to an abrupt end.
After the silence, the red monster with tentacles on its back howled loudly, turned around, smashed through the wall, and fled.
A few minutes later, the red monster that had leaped from the air gradually shrank and returned to the appearance of Cletus Kasady.
"Ravencroft Institute... wait for me... I will be there soon..."
Before Cletus Kasady finished his muttering, he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness that made the world spin. He hurriedly crouched down to stabilize his balance. After this feeling of weightlessness disappeared, he was shocked to find that the environment in the moonlight had changed.
What should have been a road was now the gate of a manor. By the moonlight, one could vaguely see a sign hanging on the gate that read "Ravencroft Institute."
Ravencroft Institute?
Cletus Kasady was a bit confused. Although he did want to come here to save the woman he loved, did it have to be so fast?
At least let me eat something, change my clothes, chat with the guy in my body, and then come, right?
I just got out of prison, and in the blink of an eye, I appeared at the gate of Ravencroft Institute. Isn't that too fast?
Actually, I'm not that urgent...
Cletus Kasady wasn't in a hurry, but Su Quan was. The source of darkness for Carnage had already been dropped, and the next big show was the drama of Carnage and Shriek vs. Venom and Officer Patrick Mulligan.
Then Carnage would die, and Toxin would be born.
This play had no part for Su Quan, and Su Quan didn't intend to participate. As a bystander waiting for the drama to end, the only thing he wanted to do was to speed up the process—as fast as possible!
Actually, it’s not Su Quan’s fault for being impatient. Since he wasn't participating and knew all the processes, and only wanted to see the final act, he naturally skipped the side details whenever he could.
Besides, who doesn't fast-forward when watching a movie!
Moreover, if it weren't for the smooth birth of Toxin, Su Quan wouldn't even want to go through the motions; he would have just dealt with Carnage directly and moved on to the next place.
It must be said, Cletus Kasady's mental state was indeed abnormal. The sudden transition surprised him for a moment, but then he ignored it and charged into the institute swaggeringly.
That's right, he charged—he didn't sneak in like in the movie.
Yes, he really hadn't communicated well with the Carnage inside his body and couldn't transform at will; he didn't even know what the thing inside his body was.
But he knew one thing: he couldn't die!
No matter what the thing inside his body was, it needed him to stay alive, and that was enough!
Cletus Kasady, who had charged in swaggeringly in his prison uniform, was soon discovered. Before long, sirens and gunfire broke the silent night sky.
Although Cletus Kasady was a serial killer, his personal combat power was not high. He could handle two or three people, but once there were many, and the other side had guns...
Under normal circumstances, let alone saving someone, just staying alive to reach the door of Shriek's cell would be a problem.
But the Carnage inside his body couldn't just watch him get shot to death like that. It not only took the initiative to help him block bullets and heal his wounds, but later it simply took the initiative to transform and helped him kill his way in.
Cletus Kasady’s performance this time was truly a case of "eating soft rice hard"!
"Bang!"
The glass of the small cell was shattered by Carnage's tentacles. Cletus Kasady and Francis Barrison were reunited after a long time, looking at each other excitedly.
"You really came."
"You really are here."
The two spoke at the same time and were stunned at the same time.
Francis Barrison: "How did you know I was here?"
"It was my benefactor who told me. His name is Su Quan. What about you? How did you know I would come?"
"Su Quan told me too. He is also my benefactor."
Francis Barrison and Cletus Kasady looked at each other in dismay. They didn't expect Su Quan to have helped both of them. He really was... a great person!
Cletus Kasady: "Is there anything you want to do?"
"Yes."
"I want to thank Su Quan. It was he who let us reunite. I also want to find someone for revenge. His name is Patrick Mulligan, a policeman. It was he who blinded my eye back then."
"I also want to thank Su Quan, and then I also want to find someone for revenge. His name is Eddie Brock, a reporter. I trusted him so much and told him my story, but he betrayed me and didn't publish that content at all."
"Then let's take revenge first, and then go thank our benefactor."
"Okay."
In just a few sentences, the two had already decided what to do next.
Cletus Kasady prepared to take Francis Barrison away from here, but as soon as the thought arose, the sudden sense of weightlessness from before struck again.
This time, not only him, but even Francis Barrison had the same feeling.
