In the office of the editor-in-chief of Global Times, Eddie put the cup on the table, took off his coat, hung it on the back of the chair, and then sat on the office chair. A young employee knocked on the door and walked in and said: "
Editor-in-Chief, tomorrow’s materials will be late because there is something wrong with the printer.”
"The printer is broken again? Well, let Damon call the logistics department and send someone to repair it."
After the employees left, Eddie sighed, picked up the latest magazine from his hand and read it.
Yes, after this crisis, Eddie became the editor-in-chief of the news and current affairs section of the Global Times.
The military wants to find an agent to support the Life Foundation. Although it takes just one sentence, the process is still a bit complicated.
In any case, this matter did not succeed due to Eddie's interference. Putting aside the countless backup plans during the process, the result was that the agent of the Life Foundation got out, and at the same time the editor-in-chief of the Global Times got out.
, who was Eddie’s original immediate boss.
Before the dark history of Drake using homeless people for human experiments was uncovered, Eddie's immediate boss wrote a lot of praise reports for Drake.
After the dark history was exposed, Eddie's reputation was completely reversed. He became a heroic reporter who was not afraid of the powerful and spoke for the people at the bottom. On the contrary, the editor-in-chief became a street rat that everyone wanted to beat, and even the Global Times
The Times also suffered a reputational fall.
In order to reverse the criticism, the Global Times had no choice but to contact Eddie again and invite him to become the editor-in-chief of the news and current affairs section, hoping that Eddie's reputation as a heroic reporter could erase this stain.
Eddie actually has a lot of backbone, but he has backbone, and they gave him too much.
Even with Venom, Eddie is still a human being who needs to eat, drink, and rent a house. Without a stable job, his car loan that has been overdue for several months and the accompanying late fees will completely bankrupt him. In order to prevent this
When this situation happened, Eddie became an editor-in-chief of the Global Times.
Venom can be said to hate iron but not steel.
Eddie sat at his desk, took a sip of coffee, and sighed contentedly. Venom said in his mind: "You are simply the least pursuing host I have ever seen."
"Although I don't know what your host was like before, I am already very satisfied with it." Eddie leaned back on the comfortable chair and said, "After experiencing the torture of that shabby apartment in Hell's Kitchen, I am now a
You know how comfortable an apartment in Midtown is.”
"And this office." Eddie looked up and said, "The lighting is appropriate, the heating is sufficient, and it's very spacious."
He threw the magazine in his hand on the table and said, "The most important thing is that the salary is pretty good."
"Haha." Venom's response was only a sneer. After all, all his previous hosts were either saving the world or on their way to save the world, and now Eddie is either fishing or on his way to fish every day.
In fact, the job of editor-in-chief is not easy. There are many things to keep an eye on and the work to be done is complicated. However, the Global Times hired Eddie not because they wanted him to be a good editor-in-chief, but because they just spent money to buy reputation, so Eddie
I am not busy with my work, and I even have time to rebuild the old relationship with my ex-girlfriend Anne.
Just like many days before, Eddie was fishing in his office until the end of the day. When he walked out of the office building, Eddie glanced at his watch and said to Venom, "You have to know, I was going on a date with Annie tonight."
"Then make her angry again with your stupid nonsense..."
Eddie shook his head helplessly. Hill, who was waiting at the door, shook hands with him and said, "Get in the car first."
About half an hour later, the two appeared in the SHIELD base. Hill said to the venom in Eddie's body: "There is more power left in Riot's body than we imagined..."
"But there's really no way you can take it out, right?"
The two stopped at the door of the laboratory. Hill looked into Eddie's eyes and said: "I admit,
The research process was not smooth, and humans have almost no control over this almost magical power."
"To be honest, we are indeed borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, but the price we offered is low enough. Believe me, this is a fair transaction."
Walking into the laboratory, Riot was contained in a jar. His body was still gray, but he was surrounded by some black mist, just like the chaotic power that appeared on him that day.
The phantom said through Hill's mouth: "How do you plan to absorb it? Although you are not a member of the cosmic agents, I still want to tell you that in the current mainstream society of symbionts, we do not advocate swallowing the same kind."
"This is not because of any moral principles, but because accepting too many genetic selections from the same kind at one time may cause the symbiont to have confused thinking."
"I have a way to strip this energy out, but I have to break away from my current host to do so." Venom shook his head and said: "I will not put myself in such a dangerous situation, let alone in the A.H.I.E.L.D.
All this is done under the supervision of the bureau.”
"Although I have asked you many times..." Phantom said very puzzledly: "But I still want to say, are you really Venom? Why are you so..."
"Don't say stupid things... I plan to swallow this power inside the host's body."
"No, you can't do this." The phantom controlled Hill and stepped forward, trying to stop him. "First, it is absolutely impossible for your host to withstand two symbiotes parasitizing in his body at the same time. Second, the symbiotes
The process of devouring the symbiote will be very violent, and his body will never be able to withstand this impact. Thirdly, the power of chaos will impact the human spirit and make people crazy."
"In short, it is absolutely impossible for your current body to support you in doing this, and I will not allow you to harm your human host. This violates the code of cosmic agents..."
"Who said I was going to do this inside this host?"
The phantom still shook his head and said: "Even if you change the host, the result will be the same. The body of an ordinary human being will never be able to withstand such an impact."
"I know that you have parasitized a child named Peter before. Although he has a strong physical quality, the impact of the power of chaos on the spirit is magical, and he is still unable to resist it. This will be very risky."
"If humans can't do it, what about the Aesir?"
The Phantom was stunned. He looked at Venom and said, "Asa Protoss? Are you crazy? Their God of Thunder almost choked us all to death!"
"Look at your gene bank. It clearly records the power of thunder. The vast majority of symbionts are allergic to the Aesir..."
"I'm not allergic to anything except the mentally retarded."
"But where are you going to find it... You are not the prince who wants to parasitize Asgard, are you?" The Phantom said in disbelief: "You are really crazy! Odin will not allow this to happen.
of."
"Odin sleeps."
"But...even if Odin doesn't care, they won't allow you to parasitize them, right? Their senses are much more sensitive than humans, and they can't secretly parasitize without being discovered."
"So I don't plan to secretly parasitize him. I plan to negotiate a deal with him."
When the sun gradually sets, the larger and taller the buildings, the longer their shadows will spread. These shadows are like fences crossing the river, through which the sunset flows and is grated into fine golden lines.
Manhattan was very lively during off-duty hours. Most elites in suits and ties hurriedly walked through the streets carrying their briefcases. The coffee shops and restaurants on the roadside were crowded. Loki glanced at the surrounding environment and didn't notice.
Being able to avoid the crowd teleportation, I finally decided to take a taxi.
The taxi parked outside an apartment building on West Central Station Street. When Rocky walked into the apartment building, it was almost dark.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Thor sitting on the sofa, drinking beer and eating fried chicken. Loki didn't even have time to scold him. He quickly walked to the entrance, opened his briefcase, took out his computer, and then called his cell phone.
: "Sorry, Mr. Hall, I'm already home. Let me tell you about our plan for this quarter..."
Loki was controlling the computer and talking to the other end of the phone, while listening to Thor's voice of "kazkazkazkaz" and "ton ton ton".
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore. After hanging up the customer's phone, he turned to Thor and said: "Why didn't the father of the gods see you like this??? I really should..."
"I paid the rent, so you can't control what I do in this house." Thor took another bite of fried chicken and said, "And unlike you who work in an office, repairing a car is a physical job. If I don't
If you eat more, where will you find the strength to work the night shift?"
"I……"
Loki covered his forehead, deeply regretting his failure to control the fire and blowing up the house.
After the trouble in the previous apartment, they had no choice but to move. Although Odin paid the foster care fee, SHIELD refused to let them live separately. The reason Nick gave was that SHIELD was short of manpower and could not
They were divided into two groups to protect them, but Loki knew that it was simply because Nick felt that Odin had given him too little.
So the two of them still had to live together.
Rocky was determined to make a name for himself on Wall Street, so he worked very hard and achieved remarkable results. He had many big clients, and other retail investors were also willing to find him, so he was very busy now.
Have to work more than 18 hours a day.
As for Thor, he still works in that car repair shop, but he has changed from a part-time worker to a full-time worker who can perform independent repairs.
To say which of the two jobs is harder, there is actually no comparison. In just a few weeks since Rocky joined Wall Street, he has seen the diversity of human biological populations. During these days, he will think about himself every night.
Why isn't he the God of Thunder, who can kill some difficult customers with a thunderbolt?
Thor also faced the same problem. Due to frequent physical communication with car owners, he often had his wages deducted. If the owner of the garage hadn't seen that he was tall and able to control the situation, he would have been fired long ago.
These two people each have their own ways of being busy and tired, but what is very strange is that this busyness and tiredness has made their relationship a little more harmonious. After all, the relationship between social animals and social animals is
The resonances are very subtle, yet very solid.
After dealing with a lot of troublesome customers, Loki walked to the sofa and sat down. He took out a can of beer from the beer pile at Thor's hand, opened the top of the can and poured it into his mouth, and Thor bit it.
After taking a bite of fried chicken, he said: "I used to look down on you looking for a wine glass when drinking. You don't look like an Asgardian warrior at all. But now you are much better."
Loki didn't want to pay attention to him. He was currently thinking about why human beings could ask questions one after another that were beyond his understanding. Even when he stood on the branches of the World Tree and looked at the endless vast starry sky of the Nine Realms, he was still thinking.
I have never thought about the truth and origin of the universe so deeply as I do today.
Taking another sip of beer, Loki thought, Wall Street is really a good place for magicians to practice. As long as you work here for two months, your depth of thinking about the universe will reach a whole new level.
There were no lights in the living room of the apartment, only the light from the TV was flickering. Thor's eyes moved away from the variety show on the TV, and he said hesitantly: "How is Asgard lately?"
Loki put down the can, wiped his lips, and then glanced at the shirt dripping with beer. He said, "What happens to Asgard has nothing to do with you. You can't go back anyway."
Thor squeezed the can in his hand hard, and beer spurted out from the spout, spilled onto his hand, and then dripped onto the floor. Loki glanced at the floor and said, "You mop the floor tomorrow."
Thor was just about to continue talking when a ringtone rang through the empty living room. Loki took out his cell phone from his side and said, "Hello, I'm Odinson..."
Upon hearing his claim, Thor squeezed the can again and poured the remaining liquor into his mouth without saying anything.
