Chapter 200: The Plot Begins to Gradually Go Off-Track (Part 2)

~11 min read 2,144 words

"Originally, I wasn't interested in this interview topic at all, because I didn't understand everything related to this topic, such as biology, medicine, and so on."

"But I also knew that if I couldn't complete this task, the editor-in-chief would definitely give me a hard time. After all, my report results for the previous few issues weren't good. To save my professional reputation, I had to complete this task."

"I started searching for information related to the Immortality Factor on the Internet. I read many explanations of this potion by professional doctors, but I don't know why, I always felt that what they said was like nonsense."

"This is very strange. I clearly hadn't studied any medicine, but as soon as I heard the terms they said, it was as if there was a voice in my brain telling me that these were all made up by them."

"Very coincidentally, my girlfriend once worked at the Life Foundation. Just one morning, her computer screen lit up, and a message popped up on it. The contact's note was a researcher at the Life Foundation."

"You know, for me, the next day's interview was very important, and I really needed to know more information, so I wanted to see what that message wrote..."

"As a result, I saw a piece of information. That information revealed the fact that the Life Foundation was using homeless people and other vulnerable groups for human experiments. It was simply inhumane."

"So, the next day, when I interviewed Drake, I questioned him about why he was doing these inhumane experiments. I was overwhelmed by anger and directly gave him a punch in front of everyone."

"I caused a huge mess, lost my job, broke up with my girlfriend, and because I had no money to pay the rent, I was kicked out of the high-end apartment, and I also lost my wallet, leaving only a little money in my pocket, so I could only move to this cheap apartment..."

Eddie covered his eyes and said, "I know I was very impulsive, but you don't know what I saw in those materials, I..."

"Fine, I know, I used to be a rotten person, I did inaccurate reporting, and often used words and pictures to mislead the audience, but I feel I didn't do anything wrong this time."

Eddie drank the last mouthful of beer in the beer can, then squeezed the pop-top can flat, threw it into the trash can beside him, and was silent for a long time.

His eyes were filled with red bloodshot lines, he frowned painfully and said, "What's even more unbelievable is, I seem to... have a bit of a split personality. Maybe you don't believe it, but..."

"Can you imagine? After Drake denied all of this, I stood up and directly gave him a punch..."

Thor raised his eyebrows and looked Eddie up and down again with his eyes, saying, "I didn't see that. You don't look like that kind of person."

Thor was telling the truth. Eddie didn't look very tall and big, just the body type of an ordinary adult male. His speaking and working style were also very consistent with his reporter profession. He looked like the kind of person engaged in writing work, not the kind of person who would beat others up at will.

"That's why I said I might have split. You..." Eddie seemed a bit unsure how to express this feeling. He organized his language and then said, "I always feel that that's not something I could have done at all!"

"At that time, I was a bit angry when I saw those materials, but then I became furious. I didn't know where that surging anger came from, to the point that I would actually make such an outrageous move in the interview."

"Just treat it as me talking nonsense..." Eddie covered his forehead with both hands and said, "I feel like there's something else in my body controlling me, just like what you saw just now, I..."

Suddenly, Eddie twitched, he widened his eyes, and let out a low roar at Thor. Thor clearly saw some black patterns spreading on his face.

Thor habitually reached out to his side, only to remember that he was on Earth and had no weapons to use. But during this effort, Eddie suddenly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, and shook his head.

Thor patted the coffee table and said, "You might be parasitized by something."

Eddie looked at Thor in confusion. He was a bit puzzled. He felt that what he said was already crazy enough, but the result was that this big guy opposite him proposed a possibility that sounded even more like nonsense.

But Thor didn't mean to joke. He said very seriously to Eddie, "I have seen this situation before. It should have been... when I was in the constellation Pegasus. My subordinates were also parasitized like this. This situation must be handled immediately, otherwise it might lead to very serious consequences, because you don't know what kind of attribute this thing parasitizing you has."

"If it's that kind of symbiotic organism, it's fine, just need to peel them out. But if it's the kind that breeds and lays eggs in your body, then it's troublesome."

"You mean... you saw this situation when you were a member of the special forces?" Eddie immediately associated it with some human experiments, biochemical crises, alien invasions, and so on. He asked Thor like grabbing a life-saving straw, "Then how did you handle it at that time?"

"Generally speaking, it's by using lightning. This can solve most problems, and our physique is much better than yours, so even if we take a few more hits, it's nothing."

"Take lightning? You mean using electricity? But..."

"Oh, damn it!"

Eddie suddenly twitched fiercely uncontrollably, then stood up, then bumped toward the door, was directly tripped by the boxes piled at the door, then stumbled and climbed up, swaying left and right, and was about to run out the door.

Thor hurriedly chased after him, wanting to subdue him, but Eddie's strength was incredibly great, and with a wave of his arm, he directly pushed Thor down.

"Damn it." Thor cursed, "What's wrong with humans? How did they become so strong?"

Thor climbed up and was about to grab Eddie's shoulder again, but Eddie turned around and roared at him. Thor saw a big mouth full of sharp teeth appear for a moment, and then it disappeared.

"It really is you!" Thor punched Eddie in the face and said, "Cosmic Symbiote! You actually dare to run to the Nine Realms. I will teach you another lesson on behalf of the All-Father!!!"

Eddie seemed to not want to fight Thor at all, only wanting to escape, stumbling and running toward the door. After Thor chased after him, Eddie twitched again and began to dry heave in place.

As soon as Thor approached, Eddie began to twitch all over. As a result, Thor was bound and gagged, not daring to approach.

But staying in a stalemate like this wasn't a way. Thor stretched out his hand and said, "Listen, I don't care who you are, leave this human's body. You can't control him like this, this is evil!"

A hoarse voice came from Eddie's throat: "Get out, I'm allergic to you!"

Thor was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Allergic, what is allergic?"

"It means I want to vomit when I see you, ugh..."

"You are insulting me!" Thor shouted angrily.

"I'm not! I'm really allergic... help, I want to vomit, ugh..."

Watching Eddie twitching his eyes white, Thor hurriedly retreated a few steps and said, "Fine, Symbiote, listen, I know you kidnapped this human and want to use him to threaten me. We two can talk, you can't toss him around like this, a human body is very fragile, he will die..."

"I'm not joking with you!" That hoarse voice was also a bit collapsed. He said, "I don't know what's going on either! I thought this idiot drank too much! Ugh..."

Thor then discovered that he was telling the truth. He stood where he was and thought for a moment, then said, "Could it be because of the thunder of the Aesir? Back then that lightning struck you very miserably, even your creator..."

"Ugh..."

Watching Eddie foaming at the mouth, Thor hurriedly ran to the corner of the room and said, "Then why was it fine just now?"

"How would I know?... Right, alcohol! Alcohol... get some alcohol, hurry up, otherwise I'm really going to vomit..."

Hearing this, Thor hurriedly bypassed Eddie, returned to his room, brought two bottles of beer, opened the bottle cap, and poured it into Eddie's mouth.

After a bottle of beer was poured down, Eddie finally felt much better. Thor asked very suspiciously, "I've seen many symbiotes when fighting, they fought back and forth with me, and I've never seen any one like you..."

"How would I know! It's been like this recently! Could it be that I can call an ambulance?!"

"What kind of mess is this?" Thor stood where he was and continued, "You hurry up and leave this human, he's about to be tossed to death by you!"

"Far from it."

Eddie stood up, shook his head, looked at Thor, and said, "What's wrong? Did I have an episode again?"

Thor stared at Eddie. He found that he had no good method to expel this symbiote, because he now had neither divine power nor Thor's Hammer, otherwise he would have struck down a lightning bolt long ago.

Just when Thor intended to continue thinking of a way, several light "swoosh" sounds came from near the window. Thor tackled Eddie, and several black hidden weapons flew past their heads.

With two "bang" and "bang" sounds, two black smoke clouds turned into two human figures, appearing in the room, each holding a dagger, stabbing toward Eddie. Thor blocked with his arm, and a dagger directly cut a big opening in his forearm. Thor pushed Eddie hard, letting him avoid the other dagger.

"What kind of ghost thing is this?" Thor looked at the two black figures and said. At this time, Eddie also saw them and said, "What thing? Ninjas? How come they look so much like the ninjas in cartoons? How did they get in?"

These two ninjas didn't give them time to think, rushing toward the two people quickly. Thor swung a box beside him and smashed it toward them.

One of the ninjas disappeared with a "bang" into smoke, and instantly appeared behind Eddie, a dagger flashing with cold light stabbing toward his heart.

Eddie didn't react at all. Just when that dagger was about to be inserted into his body, a red and blue figure swung in from the window, kicked the ninja's head, and that ninja disappeared again.

Spider-Man, who arrived, turned around and threw another punch, and the other ninja also turned into smoke. Thor pulled a piece of clothing from the side, wrapped his bleeding arm, and then helped Eddie run to the corner of the room, letting him hide behind the dining table, while he grabbed a chair and joined the battlefield.

After a while, Spider-Man stuck one with spider silk, and the other was hit by Thor's flying chair. Seeing the situation wasn't right, the two ninjas disappeared into smoke. Spider-Man exhaled, walked over, and said, "Are you guys okay?"

Then he walked to the window, brought the schoolbag from outside in, took a spray bottle out of it, and sprayed it on the wound on Thor's forearm. The bleeding stopped immediately.

Eddie, who hadn't sobered up from the drunkenness, shook his head hard, still thinking he was dreaming. Spider-Man asked Thor, "What's wrong with you guys?"

Thor listened to the voice of this freak in front of him and felt it was a bit familiar. He asked suspiciously, "Peter? Are you Peter?"

Facing an acquaintance, Spider-Man didn't hide his identity anymore. He took off his mask directly, revealing Peter's face, and said, "I've been watching these two people for a long time, chasing them all the way from Brooklyn."

Then he cast his gaze on Eddie and said, "Who is he? Why are you here again? Why do the Hand ninjas want to kill you guys?"

Thor sighed and said, "You can only ask him that, I just happened to move to this neighborhood."

At this time, Eddie, who was lying on the ground, suddenly began to twitch again. A group of black slime erupted from his body. Instantly, a big mouth full of sharp teeth covered his original face, and a black monster appeared in the center of the room.

Spider-Man widened his eyes and said in shock, "Why is it you?!!!" ===== CHAPTER 201 =====
