Chapter 224 Loki (Part 1)

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, there is something wrong with the printer.”

"The printer is broken again? Well, let Damon call the logistics department and send someone to fix it."

After the employees left, Eddie sighed, picked up the latest magazine from his hand and read it.

Yes, after this controversy, 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 failed 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 dug up, 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 shouted at, and even the Global News 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 wash away this stain.

Eddie actually has a lot of backbone, but backbone is a backbone, and they gave him too much.

Even with Venom, Eddie is still a human being. He 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 the 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 the 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 He is not busy at work and even has time to rebuild his old relationship with his 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 that the research process was not smooth. Human beings 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 choices from the same kind at one time may cause the symbiote to think disorderly."

"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 to step forward and tried to stop him. "First, your host absolutely cannot bear two symbiotes parasitizing in his body at the same time. Second, the process of symbiotes devouring each other will be very violent. His body absolutely cannot bear this kind of impact. Third, the power of chaos will impact people's spirit and make people crazy."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"In short, your current body will never support you to do this, and I will not allow you to harm your human host. This violates the code of cosmic agents..."

"Who said I want to do this in this host's body?"

The Phantom Demon still shook his head and said, "Even if you change a host, the result will be the same. The body of an ordinary human can never withstand this kind of impact."

"I know you have parasitized a child named Peter before. Although he has a strong physical fitness, the impact of the chaotic power on the spirit is magical in nature, and he still cannot resist it. This will be very risky."

"If humans can't do it, what about the Aesir?"

The Phantom Demon was stunned. He looked at Venom and said, "Aesir? Are you crazy? Their Thor almost killed us all!"

"Look at your gene bank, it clearly says The power of thunder was recorded, and most of the symbiotes are allergic to the Aesir..."

"I am not allergic to any creature except the mentally retarded."

"But where are you going to find it... You don't want to parasitize the prince of Asgard, do you? ? ? "The phantom said in disbelief: "You are really crazy! Odin will not allow this to happen."

"Odin is asleep."

"But... even if Odin doesn't care, they won't agree to you parasitizing them, right? Their senses are much more sensitive than humans, and it is impossible to parasitize secretly without being discovered."

"So I don't plan to parasitize secretly, I plan to negotiate a condition with him."

When the sun gradually sets, the larger the tall buildings, the longer the shadows will spread. These shadows are like fences passing through the river, and the setting sun flows through them, combed into fine golden lines.

Manhattan was very busy after get off work. Most of the elites in suits and ties were carrying their briefcases and hurriedly walking on the street. The coffee shops and restaurants on the roadside were crowded. Loki took a look at the surrounding environment and found no place to avoid the crowds. Finally, he decided to take a taxi.

The taxi stopped outside an apartment building on West Street of Grand Central Station. When Loki 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 have time to scold him. He walked quickly to the entrance, opened his briefcase, took out his computer, and dialed his mobile phone and said, "Sorry, Mr. Hall, I'm home. I'll tell you about our plan for this quarter..."

Loki was operating the computer and talking to the other end of the phone, while listening to the "click click click click" and "ton ton ton" sounds coming from Thor's side.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore. After hanging up the phone with the client, he turned to Thor and said, "Why didn't the father of the gods see what you are like now??? I really should have..."

"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 sits in an office, repairing cars is a physical job. If I don't eat more, how can I have the energy to work the night shift?"

"The Museum of Demon Suppression"

"I..."

Loki covered his forehead. He deeply regretted his previous action of failing to control the fire and blowing up the house.

After the chaos in the previous apartment, they had to move. Although Odin paid the foster care fee, SHIELD refused to let the two of them live separately. Nick gave the reason that SHIELD was short of manpower and could not divide them into two groups to protect them, but Loki knew that it was simply because Nick thought Odin gave too little.

So the two of them had to live together.

Loki 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 willing to find him, so he was very busy now, working more than 18 hours a day.

As for Thor, he still worked in the auto repair shop, but he changed from a small worker to a regular worker who could do repairs independently.

To say which of the two jobs was harder, in fact, it was impossible to compare. In the few short weeks since Loki joined Wall Street, he had seen the diversity of human biological populations. During these days, he would think every night, why was he not the god of thunder, who could kill some difficult customers with a thunderbolt.

And Thor also faced the same problem. Because he often communicated physically with car owners, he was often deducted from his salary. If the owner of the auto repair shop had not seen that he was burly and could control the situation, he would have fired him long ago.

The two of them were busy in their own ways and tired in their own ways, but strangely, this busyness and tiredness made their relationship a little more harmonious. After all, the resonance between office workers was very subtle but very strong.

After dealing with a bunch of troublesome customers, Loki walked to the sofa and sat down. He took a can of beer from the beer pile next to Thor, opened the can and poured it into his mouth. Thor took a bite of fried chicken and said, "I used to look down on you for having to find a wine glass to drink. You didn't look like an Asgardian warrior at all. Now you are much better."

Loki didn't want to pay attention to him. He was just thinking about why humans could ask questions beyond his understanding. Even when he stood on the branches of the World Tree and looked at the endless and vast starry sky of the Nine Realms, he had never thought about the truth and origin of the universe as deeply as he did today.

Taking another sip of beer, Loki thought, Wall Street is really a good place for a mage to practice. As long as you work here for two months, the depth of your thinking about the universe will reach a whole new level.

There was no light in the living room of the apartment, only the light from the TV kept flickering. Thor's eyes moved away from the variety show on TV. He hesitated and said, "How is Asgard recently?"

Loki put down the can, wiped his lips, and then looked at his shirt dripping with beer. He said, "What's going on in Asgard has nothing to do with you. Anyway, you can't go back."

Thor squeezed the can in his hand hard, and beer gushed out from the spout, spilled on his hands, and then dripped onto the floor. Loki glanced at the floor and said, "You mop the floor tomorrow."

Thor was about to continue talking when a ring rang in the empty living room. Loki took out his mobile phone from his side and said, "Hello, I'm Odinson..."

Hearing his self-proclaimed name, Thor squeezed the can again, poured the remaining beer into his mouth, and said nothing.
