Chapter 195: The Plot Begins to Gradually Deviate (2)
"I wasn't interested in this interview topic at all, because I didn't know anything about the subjects related to it, 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, especially since my previous reports were not good. In order to redeem my professional reputation, I had to complete this task."
"I started searching for materials related to the eternal life factor on the internet. I read many explanations from professional doctors about this medicine, but for some reason, I always felt like they were talking nonsense."
"It was strange, because I had never studied medicine, but as soon as I heard the terms they used, it was like a voice in my head telling me that they were all just making it up."
"Coincidentally, my girlfriend used to work at the Life Foundation. One morning, her computer screen lit up with a message, the contact's nickname was a researcher at the Life Foundation."
"You know, for me, the interview the next day was important, and I needed to know more about the materials. So I wanted to see what the message said..."
"I saw a material that exposed the fact that the Life Foundation was conducting human experiments on homeless people and other vulnerable groups, which was simply inhumane."
"So the next day, when I interviewed Drake, I questioned him about why he was doing these inhumane experiments. I was so angry that I lost my mind and punched him in front of everyone."
"I caused a big mess, lost my job, broke up with my girlfriend, got kicked out of my luxury apartment because I couldn't afford rent, lost my wallet, and only had a little money in my pocket. I had to move to this cheap apartment..."
Eddie covered his eyes and said, "I know I was impulsive, but you don't know what I saw in those materials. I...""Okay, I know, I was a rotten person before. I made false reports and often misled the audience with words and pictures, but I think I did the right thing this time."
Eddie finished the last sip of beer in the can, then crushed it and threw it into the nearby trash can, staying silent for a long time.
His eyes were full of bloodshot, and he frowned in pain, saying, "What's even more unbelievable is that I seem to... have some kind of split personality. You may not believe it, but..."
"Can you imagine? After Drake denied everything, I stood up and punched him directly..."
Thor raised his eyebrows and looked at Eddie up and down 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 was just an average adult male in size. His speaking and doing style also matched his profession as a journalist. He looked like someone who worked with words and didn't seem like the kind of person who would easily resort to violence.
"So that's why I said I might have split personality. You..." Eddie seemed to have some difficulty expressing this feeling. He gathered his thoughts and said, "I always feel like I couldn't have done that!"
"At that time, I was a little angry when I saw those materials, but then I became so angry that I didn't know where the surging anger came from, so much so that I made such an outrageous move during the interview."
"Just consider me talking nonsense..." Eddie covered his forehead with his 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 convulsed, his eyes widened, and he snarled at Thor, and Thor could clearly see some black lines spreading on his face.
Thor instinctively reached for a weapon, but then remembered he was on Earth and had no weapons available. But in that moment, Eddie suddenly returned to normal, shaking his head as if nothing had happened.
Thor patted the coffee table and said, "You may have been parasitized by something."
Eddie looked at Thor in confusion, not understanding. He thought he had already said some crazy things, but this big guy in front of him proposed an even more crazy possibility.
But Thor wasn't joking. He said very seriously to Eddie, "I have seen this kind of situation before, probably when I was in Taurus. My subordinates were also parasitized like this. This situation must be dealt with immediately, otherwise it may cause very serious consequences, because you don't know what kind of attributes the thing parasitizing you has."
"If it's that kind of symbiotic organism, it's okay, just remove them. But if it's the kind that breeds and lays eggs in your body, then it's troublesome."
"You mean... you've seen this kind of situation when you were a member of the special forces?" Eddie immediately thought of situations such as human experiments, biochemical crises, and alien invasions. He asked Thor like he had caught a lifeline, "So how did you handle it at that time?"
"Generally speaking, we use lightning to deal with it, which can solve most problems, and our physique is much better than yours, even if we get hit a few more times, it's no big deal."
"Struck by lightning? You mean using electricity? But..."
"Oh, damn it!"
Eddie suddenly convulsed uncontrollably, then stood up and ran towards the door, stumbling over the boxes piled up at the door and then climbing up, swaying from side to side as he tried to run out.
Thor quickly caught up, trying to subdue him, but Eddie's strength was unbelievable. He swung his arm and pushed Thor down.
"Damn it," Thor cursed, "what's wrong with humans? How did they become so strong?"
Thor got up and tried to grab Eddie's shoulder, but Eddie turned around and yelled at him. Thor saw a momentary glimpse of a large mouth full of sharp teeth, then it disappeared.
"It's you, after all!" Thor punched Eddie in the face and said, "Cosmic symbiote! You dare to come to the Nine Realms, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Father of the Gods!"
Eddie seemed to have no intention of fighting Thor, only wanting to escape. He stumbled towards the door, and after Thor caught up, Eddie convulsed again and started retching on the spot.
As soon as Thor approached, Eddie started convulsing all over, and Thor was powerless to approach him.
But this stalemate couldn't go on. Thor reached out and said, "Listen, I don't care who you are. Leave this human's body. You can't control him like this. It's evil!"
A hoarse voice came from Eddie's throat, "Get out of here, I'm allergic to you!"
Thor was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Allergic, what does allergic mean?"
"It means I want to puke when I see you..."
"You're insulting me!" Thor shouted angrily.
"I'm not! I'm really allergic... Help, I want to puke!"
Watching Eddie convulsing with his eyes rolling back, Thor quickly stepped back and said, "Okay, symbiote, listen, I know you kidnapped this human and want to use him to blackmail me. We can talk, but you can't torture him like this. The human body is fragile, and he will die..."
"I'm not joking with you!" The hoarse voice was also a bit desperate. "I don't even know what's going on! I thought this idiot drank too much! Puke..."
Thor finally realized he was telling the truth. He stood there thinking for a moment and then said, "Could it be because of the thunder of the Asgardian gods? When we destroyed you, even your creator..."
"Puke..."
Seeing Eddie about to foam at the mouth, Thor quickly ran to the corner of the room and said, "Why were you okay just now?"
"How do I know?... Oh, right, alcohol! Alcohol... Get some alcohol, quickly, or I'll really vomit..."
Upon hearing this, Thor quickly bypassed Eddie and went back to his room, bringing two bottles of beer back and pouring them into Eddie's mouth.
After drinking one bottle of beer, Eddie finally felt better. Thor asked in confusion, "I've fought many symbiotes before, and they fought back against me. I've never seen one like you..."
"How do I know! It's been like this recently! Can I call an ambulance?!"
"What a mess..." Thor stood there and said, "You'd better leave this human quickly. You're about to kill him!"
"No, not even close."
Eddie stood up, shook his head, and looked at Thor. "What's wrong with me? Am I sick again?"
Thor stared at Eddie and realized he had no good way to expel this symbiote. He had no godly power or Mjolnir, or he would have struck lightning down long ago.
Just as Thor was thinking of a way to continue, several "swish swish" sounds came from near the window, and Thor immediately pushed Eddie down as several black projectiles flew past their heads.
With a "bang bang" sound, two black smoke clouds materialized into two people in the room, each holding a dagger and stabbing towards Eddie. Thor blocked with his arm, causing a deep gash in his forearm from one of the daggers. Thor then pushed Eddie away from the other dagger.
"What the hell is this?" Thor asked as he looked at the two black figures. Eddie also saw them and asked, "What are they? Ninjas? Why do they look like the ones in anime? How did they get in?"
The two ninjas didn't give them any time to think as they quickly charged towards them. Thor grabbed a nearby box and smashed it towards them. One ninja turned into smoke and disappeared, only to reappear behind Eddie and stab towards his heart with a shining dagger.
Eddie didn't react in time, but just as the dagger was about to pierce his body, a red and blue figure swung in through the window and kicked the ninja in the head, causing him to turn into smoke again.
Spider-Man had arrived, and he quickly took care of the other ninja as well. Thor grabbed a piece of cloth to wrap his bleeding arm and helped Eddie hide behind a table in the corner of the room while he joined the fight with a chair.
After a while, Spider-Man had managed to stick one ninja with his spider web and Thor had hit the other with a flying chair. The two ninjas then turned into smoke and disappeared. Spider-Man walked over and asked, "Are you guys okay?"
He then walked over to the window and brought in his backpack, taking out a bottle of spray and spraying Thor's arm. The bleeding immediately stopped.
Eddie, who was still recovering from his drunken state, shook his head and thought he was dreaming. Spider-Man asked Thor, "What's going on? Who are you guys?"
Thor recognized the voice and asked, "Peter? Is that you?"
Spider-Man revealed his identity as Peter by taking off his mask and said, "I've been following these two for a while, all the way from Brooklyn."
He then looked at Eddie and asked, "Who is he? Why are you here? Why did The Hand's ninjas want to kill you guys?"
Thor sighed and said, "You'll have to ask him. I just happened to move nearby."
Suddenly, Eddie began convulsing on the ground, and a black substance burst out of his body. A black monster with sharp teeth appeared in the center of the room.
Spider-Man was shocked and exclaimed, "Why is it you?!!"
