Chapter 1054: Shocking Ordinary Person (Part 31)

~11 min read 2,148 words

The next morning, when Eddie got up, he found a pile of messy Christmas decorations on the table. He jumped up from the sofa with a start, then punched his head hard and said, "Venom! Venom! Did you sneak out again last night? And tore down the decorations on the street?!!"

"Are you stupid?" Venom's somewhat lazy voice sounded, appearing as if he had just woken up. He smacked his lips and then said, "Didn't you notice the wrapping paper is thrown on the ground? These things are new, how could they be torn down from the street? If you ask me, you really have no detective talent. How could I have such a stupid host?"

Eddie rubbed his eyes somewhat confusedly with his palms, his voice hoarse, and said, "New? How could there be new Christmas decorations? Christmas is still a few days away, and I was planning to go out and buy some tomorrow..."

Just at this moment, the door opened with a "clatter," and Lei Shen walked in carrying a pile of bags, followed by Schiller. Eddie turned his head and asked somewhat confusedly, "Where did you guys go early in the morning? And what's with these decorations?"

"Yesterday, the dessert gift I brought was swallowed by Venom in one bite. You and Schiller didn't get to eat any. I flew to Norway again this morning to buy some more. As a result, that shop was having an event: buy desserts and get Christmas decorations as a gift, so I bought a bit more, and these are the gifts."

"Bought a bit m..." Eddie turned around following Lei Shen's gaze and discovered a whole wall of dessert bags. He gasped and said, "How much did you buy? Can we finish eating this?"

Lei Shen put down the things in his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I landed in a small alley in Norway. Just after walking out of this street, I ran into a few people who claimed to be photographers. They said I looked like Lei Shen, the God of Thunder, and asked if I could be a model so they could take a photo."

"Although I don't understand why you humans like taking photos so much, I still agreed. Afterward, he insisted on giving me a reward. I said I didn't want it, so he gave me a membership card for a dessert shop with several thousand kroner of balance in it, so I bought a bit more."

Eddie dropped his gaze onto the things Lei Shen was holding in his hands. Lei Shen also looked toward the pocket in his hand and said, "Oh, these are materials for making a Christmas dinner. Look, there's turkey, steak, and a few nice fish..."

Eddie looked at him somewhat confusedly and said, "Don't you feel like something is wrong here? You are Lei Shen, the God of Thunder!"

Eddie roared, "You are a god of the Nordic pantheon!! Why do you want to celebrate Jesus's birthday? !!!!"

Lei Shen opened his mouth and said, "So Christmas is to celebrate Jesus's birthday? I thought it was just you humans finding an excuse to join in the fun..."

"Uh, that's true too..." Eddie hesitated and said, "Last time our station held an activity, interviewing passersby about the meaning of Christmas on Christmas Day. At least more than half of the people didn't know that Christmas is to celebrate Jesus's birthday..."

Lei Shen shrugged his shoulders, placed all the packaging bags on the table, and then said, "Look, you humans are just like this. You can find any excuse to have a holiday. Sometimes I quite envy you. Although weak, you are very happy."

"Lei Shen, I take back what I said yesterday. You really haven't changed at all, always able to say complimentary words that make people angry." Eddie also walked up, helped him sort the packaging bags, took the things inside out, and froze them into the refrigerator.

Schiller, holding the two pockets in his hands, walked to the sofa. After putting the shopping bags on the table, he took out two packs of beer, three large boxes of cigarettes, a box of cigars, and two bottles of strange medicine from inside.

At this time, Eddie remembered that Schiller had also gone out. He turned around and saw Schiller holding a small pill and sending it to his mouth. He rushed to reach out in that direction and shouted, "Venom!"

In an instant, black slime surged out. With a "whoosh," the pill in Schiller's hand was gone. In the next second, Eddie covered his neck and began to cough violently. He said, "What is this stuff? Why is it so bitter?!"

"Cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Eddie coughed hard a few times, then began to retch, kneeling on the ground and punching the floor, saying, "Venom! Venom! Get that stuff out quickly!"

Venom began to laugh gloatingly, and then he discovered that Schiller had opened another bottle of medicine. Eddie stumbled to the vicinity of the sofa, grabbed Schiller's wrist, shook off the things in his hand, and then turned to Lei Shen and said, "You took Schiller to Norway?"

"I don't know. When I activated the teleportation, he suddenly leaned over. This is a range-based magic, so..." Lei Shen shrugged his shoulders. He glanced at Schiller's state and said somewhat indifferently, "Didn't he just buy some alcohol? What's the big deal? This bit of alcohol isn't even enough to whet the appetite in Asgard."

"He is a mental patient!" Eddie emphasized, "He is currently in the process of falling ill. He must avoid smoking and drinking, and he can't take medicine casually!"

Lei Shen thought of Loki's previous instructions. He shook his head and said, "You humans just think too much. If you ask me, what kind of trouble is there that can't be solved by a few bottles of good wine?"

"Forget it, Schiller, don't drink those tasteless beers. Next time I return to Asgard, I'll bring you our good wine, and Asgard also has good tobacco. It's definitely more potent than the stuff on Earth!"

"Lei Shen Odinson!" Eddie patted the back of the sofa.

Lei Shen turned back and didn't speak. Schiller kept using his fingers to pry the mouth of the beer can, but he seemed to not know how to exert force, prying for a long time without opening it.

Eddie said to Venom in his mind, "I remember the teacher at the special education school didn't say this disease would also affect limbs? You say, should we read some professional books?"

"Just based on your brain, you still want to learn psychology?" Venom snorted coldly and said, "Go, open the computer, and still have to look at mine."

Before Eddie left, he locked all the beer, tobacco, and medicine Schiller bought into the safe. Schiller sat on the sofa feeling sleepy, but his fingers kept shaking.

【Currently using, the most complete and best-to-use listening app, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 timbres, and even supports the offline reading source-changing artifact, huanyuanapp. Source-changing App】

Arriving in the study, Eddie began to query information. While checking, he read, "Limb twitching symptoms... didn't see it, wait, here, complications might..."

"Look, it says here, autism spectrum, after certain treatment, can return to normal social life, but must pay more attention to mental health than ordinary people, otherwise, the possibility of suffering from other mental illnesses or having psychological problems is higher than normal people..."

Accompanied by reading, Eddie's frown became deeper and deeper. Venom said in his mind, "Isn't this very normal? This kind of disease cannot be completely cured, and their behavior will have some differences from ordinary people."

"And you humans, let alone behavior having differences, even if the behavior is exactly the same, you still have to find other reasons to exclude people. If you are excluded in society and your own mental state is unstable, of course, it's easier to have other psychological problems."

"I feel, this won't work." Eddie shook his head and said, "Although I didn't participate much in the solar system development plan, I also know that this psychologist is very important. What do you think we should do?"

Venom actually hesitated for a while, then spoke: "Just letting him stay at your place like this definitely won't work. Haven't you noticed yet? He is currently relying on alcohol, tobacco, and medicine to numb himself, but this state cannot continue forever."

"Don't Stark and the others care about him?" Eddie said somewhat angrily, "I remember Schiller is friends with Iron Man and Captain America, right? Do these superheroes not care about their friends?"

Venom suddenly "gurgled," then whistled a few times again. Eddie said somewhat confusedly, "... Are you hiding something from me?"

"No, you think too much. Should we still think about how to treat Schiller's illness?" Venom said somewhat guiltily.

Eddie, while sliding the mouse to browse the information, said, "I happen to have some things I want to do, but I'm not sure if Schiller's current state can help... Forget it, distracting his attention is also good."

After finishing, he pressed his hand on the lid of the laptop, closed the computer, walked out of the bedroom, and came to the living room. After that, he found that Lei Shen had already started fiddling with those Christmas decorations.

Eddie sighed, looked at Lei Shen, and said, "Did you notice, you bought everything? Only one thing is missing..."

After finishing, he held up the string of colored lights in his hand and said, "There is no Christmas tree. Where do you plan to hang these things?"

Eddie clapped his hands, attracting the attention of both of them, and said, "Since we plan to spend this Christmas together, it's best to decorate it properly, and then make a big meal."

"But now, I have to take Schiller back to his clinic to get his luggage."

After finishing, Eddie was about to take Schiller out. Schiller, however, seemed to have returned to normal again, wanting to take his dirty overcoat. Eddie found him one of his own jackets. Schiller revealed a somewhat disgusted expression, but still put it on.

The two walked out of the apartment building. Because this place was actually not far from Schiller's clinic, only needing to cross two blocks, the two didn't choose to drive, but walked there. But soon, Eddie regretted it, because Schiller fell ill again on the way.

He began to tremble all over again, muttering nonsense, and even completely unable to control his upper body, only able to lean against the wall, constantly breathing deeply.

Eddie, who possessed a symbiote, could also treat the vast majority of external injuries, but for this kind of limb twitching caused by mental conditions and adverse reactions similar to withdrawal reactions, he didn't have any very good methods, only able to wait on the side, hoping Schiller would recover on his own.

Schiller was squatting by the wall somewhat unable to control himself. Eddie looked at his appearance and also felt somewhat sad. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he reached out to touch the pocket of his clothes, then cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, I forgot to bring cigarettes. Venom, why didn't you remind me?"

"Who was the one who said they wanted to quit smoking before?" Venom said somewhat unpleasantly.

Eddie stood in place and sighed, then began to look around, wanting to see if there was a shop nearby.

But just at this moment, a man holding a leather bag and wearing a black hooded jacket suddenly walked out of the corner where Schiller was squatting.

That man also seemed not to have expected to run into such two people at the corner. He immediately stepped back somewhat vigilantly, covering the bag in his arms. Sensing his movement, Eddie also became vigilant.

But at this time, Schiller began to cough constantly, then evolved into retching while kneeling on the ground, as if the muscles in his respiratory tract had suddenly twitched, making him unable to control himself, and then began to twitch his limbs, followed by maintaining one action, completely motionless, just like he had stiffened there.

The man holding the package froze for a moment, then immediately said, "Epilepsy, neurological epilepsy!"

Eddie rushed up wanting to support Schiller, but that man dropped the package and then blocked Eddie, saying, "You can't touch him when he has tonic manifestations, otherwise it's easy to cause joint torsion. Stay away from him..."

And at this time, Eddie turned his head, but saw that the leather bag dropped on the ground by the stranger had its zipper torn open a gap.

Looking in from the gap, what was packed in the leather bag was not any office supplies, but a large bundle of explosives. ===== CHAPTER 1055 =====
