Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe
Chapter 239: Becoming a homeless person with Eddie
"What are you doing?"
Jameson was holding a cigar in his mouth. He saw Xu Wang sneaking around and turned his head.
Xu Wang immediately moved sideways to block the fish tank and started whistling as if nothing had happened.
Jameson frowned and leaned forward to see what Xu Wang was doing.
As a result, Xu Wang took another step back and blocked the fish tank again: "Nothing."
Jameson frowned even more and sat back in his seat: "Go to work if you have nothing to do. Hurry up! News is about timeliness. Get up and run!"
So Xu Wang and Eddie ran out of the editor-in-chief's office.
Jameson then saw the fish tank that Xu Wang had turned into a pot of fish soup, and his beard stood up in anger.
He quickly got up and went to change the water in the fish tank.
On the other side, Xu Wang and Eddie had already trotted out of the Bugle Daily in the elevator.
Although Eddie didn't know why Xu Wang kept dragging him to run.
But now the two of them have to cooperate in the investigation. No matter what happened in the past, it is better to try not to increase the conflict.
"Do you know anything about the Life Foundation?"
Standing on the street, Xu Wang first asked Eddie about the information he knew.
After all, the world is different, and Xu Wang doesn't know whether this world will still develop like the original movie plot.
Eddie sighed and said, "I don't know much. I only know that although the Life Foundation is a rocket on the surface, it has been doing biomedical research behind the scenes.
I got a clue half a year ago that three homeless people died because of the research of the Life Foundation.
But after I went to investigate, not only did I get fired from my job, but even my girlfriend broke up with me."
Hearing this, Xu Wang asked in confusion: "Didn't your girlfriend break up with you because you peeked at her files and caused her to be fired? This should have nothing to do with the Life Foundation, right?"
Eddie: "..."
Seeing that Eddie didn't speak, Xu Wang knew that he was not wrong.
He understood immediately.
For now, the development of Eddie's plot is not much different from the movie version.
It's just that the location of the story has changed from Los Angeles to New York.
Speaking of which.
There are quite a few superheroes gathered in New York.
However, the universe he lives in seems to be more inclined to the Sony Spider-Man universe, and has not joined the Marvel family.
Therefore, until now, he has not heard of other superheroes such as Iron Man.
It is a very pure Spider-Man universe.
Eddie was confronted by Xu Wang, and he seemed to still feel a little unconvinced, so he said again: "It is the boss of the Life Foundation. Carlton Drake had me and Annie fired. How can it have nothing to do with him?"
Xu Wang looked straight into Eddie's eyes and asked in confusion: "The Life Foundation conducted human experiments, and the power-for-money transaction caused you to resign. This is his fault.
But you checked other people's confidential files at will without your girlfriend's consent, or spread them out. Isn't it your fault?
She is a lawyer, and this kind of thing is almost equivalent to putting her on the blacklist in the industry.
But if you ask Annie's opinion before everything, or apologize properly afterwards, I don't think she will be so angry."
Eddie was silent when he heard this.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Xu Wang was right.
In this case, he and the Life Foundation were both wrong in the face of Annie.
"So kid, are you sure you don't want to apologize to your ex-girlfriend?"
Xu Wang looked at Eddie with a kind look.
Eddie hesitated for a while, and just took out his phone, he suddenly realized something: "Wait! How do you know so much about my affairs?"
Xu Wang put away his kind look, his face full of deepness: "Knowledge is a curse, and I am the one who bears the curse."
Facing Xu Wang's crazy and stupid, Eddie had no way to deal with it.
So he could only put the topic aside for the time being and turned around and said, "Let's work first. Do you have any ideas for the next investigation?"
Xu Wang thought for a while: "I have an idea. Maybe we can do two things at the same time. In addition to the normal investigation, we can also disguise ourselves as homeless people and be caught by the people of the Biological Foundation!"
"No, no!"
Eddie immediately refused after hearing this: "You can't disguise yourself as a homeless person."
Xu Wang was puzzled: "Why? Don't you want to take risks?"
Eddie shook his head: "I'm not afraid of this. The point is that there are many companies that catch homeless people in New York. How can you be sure that the people who find you are from the Life Foundation?"
Xu Wang heard this and felt that Eddie actually made some sense, so he bit his thumb and thought about it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he raised a finger: "Hey! I have a good idea!"
Eddie's face was full of suspicion, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough.
An hour later.
Xu Wang and Eddie, who had dressed up again, had already arrived at the bottom of the Life Foundation building.
At this time, Xu Wang and Eddie looked like pure homeless people.
What do homeless people look like?
Are they simply dirty and messy?
Actually not.
As long as they don't get involved in something they shouldn't touch.
Many homeless people are just living on the streets because of bad luck and bankruptcy, not because they are mentally ill.
They are also normal people.
Any normal person will definitely pay a little attention to his or her image.
So many homeless people don't actually look that bad.
However, they will keep as much of their personal belongings with them as possible to avoid being picked up by others.
Therefore, homeless people will look bloated and look like backpackers who have been hiking for a long time.
This is what Xu Wang and Eddie are like now.
He was wearing several pieces of off-season clothes and carrying a huge backpack on his back.
Eddie is a bad person.
In fact, you don’t need to dress up, just squat in the corner and look like a homeless person.
Now that Xu Wang has dressed him up, he looks like a homeless man.
Not to mention Xu Wang.
As a wastelander, scavenging can even be said to be one of his major hobbies in life.
The two of them walked side by side on the road.
Pedestrians around him subconsciously gave way.
Xu Wang held his head high and his face full of pride.
Eddie didn't have such a big heart as Xu Wang, his head was lowered. At this moment, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"Crack!"
Xu Wang slapped Eddie on the back and said dissatisfied: "What are you talking about with your head lowered all the time! There is no shame in homeless people. Anyone who doesn't steal or rob. It's not us who should be ashamed. We have allowed such homeless people to appear on the street." "
"Well said! Man!"
There was a young man passing by on a skateboard. When he heard Xu Wang's words, he immediately raised his fist and cheered!
"Thanks buddy!"
Xu Wang also smiled and turned around to wave to the man.
Perhaps Xu Wang's words had some effect. Eddie took a deep breath and finally plucked up the courage to raise his head.
But seeing so many people looking at him, Eddie lowered his head again, pulled Xu Wang aside, and whispered: "Is this the way you said? Just run downstairs to the Life Foundation. ?”
Xu Wang said matter-of-factly: "Is there any problem? As long as we show our faces in front of them, when they want to catch homeless people again, our chances of being selected will definitely be greater."
Eddie was a little anxious and added: "I have met Derek. He must still remember me. He knows that I am a reporter."
Xu Wang didn't care: "What are you afraid of? Isn't this better? You have been unemployed for half a year, is it normal to become a homeless person? That guy is also ruthless.
I know you want to investigate him, and now that you have become a homeless man again, I might be able to use this opportunity to cause trouble for you. The success rate of our plan is even higher! "
When Eddie heard this, his face suddenly turned pale!
He seemed to have really seen his own death.
Although being an investigative reporter certainly involves certain dangers.
Otherwise the salary would not be so high.
But this does not mean that Eddie is not afraid of death.
Fortunately, Eddie is both timid and brave.
After struggling for a while, he agreed.
Seeing this, Xu Wang smiled happily and said, "It would be great if you understand. I didn't misjudge the person."
Eddie smiled bitterly: "Then what are we going to do next?"
Xu Wang took out two pieces of cardboard from his backpack: "I have two ways to make money here. Let's draw a lottery and do whichever one we win."
Eddie always felt that Xu Wang was up to something again.
But now that the matter was over, he still reached out his hand and casually took a piece of cardboard from Xu Wang.
Turning it over, it read in English [Which religion cares most about homeless people? 】
"What does this mean?"
Eddie wondered.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
When Xu Wang saw this, he was very jealous: "You are so lucky. Originally, I wanted yours more. We agreed in advance. After all, I came up with the solution first. We are 50/50 in time."
Eddie was helpless. He didn't care at all about this so-called method of making money. He just hoped to avoid embarrassing himself as much as possible, so he casually said: "Three to seven points are fine, seven for you and three for me."
Xu Wang smiled happily when he heard this: "That's great, don't regret it."
Eddie: "I won't go back on my word. Just tell me what you want to do first."
Xu Wang confidently put his hands on his hips: "Just watch me operate."
After a few minutes.
Eddie, who looked hopeless, sat on the side of the busy road.
In front of him, there were several plastic bowls.
Under the bowl, there are pieces of white paper.
Written on the white paper are; Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Shintoism, etc.
Except for Christianity, all other religions have money in their bowls.
Xu Wang did this deliberately.
The United States has the largest number of believers in Christianity. Anyone passing by will see that the Christian bowls are empty, while other bowls contain money.
They will definitely not ignore it, and there will definitely be people who invest money in it to support their beliefs.
Before Xu Wang left, he specifically told Eddie: "Once there is more money in the Christian bowl than other religions, take some out.
Make sure Christianity is always less than other religions, you know? "
Eddie was dumbfounded at this time.
But facing Xu Wang's aggressive gaze, he could only nod in agreement.
Xu Wang was satisfied and walked dozens of meters away and took out his own sign.
His content is very simple.
The card says in English "Nothing is for sale, it's just blocking the road, it's $20 to move it once"
Then Xu Wang was stuck in the middle of the road, motionless.
In order to increase the deterrence, Xu Wang also took off some clothes and only wore a vest, revealing his strong and strong muscles.
Eddie looked over at Xu Wang, then at the bowl in front of him, and suddenly sighed.
Both playing cards are not good things.
It’s simply a hell of social terror!
The street they were on was the same street as the Life Foundation.
This was the Midtown area, quite bustling and lively.
There was a lot of traffic.
Feeling the gazes of the pedestrians passing by, Eddie almost lowered his head to his chest.
He felt that the whole world was laughing at him.
"Swish!"
At this time, a sound came from the front.
Eddie looked up subconsciously.
He found that someone had thrown $10 into Christian's bowl.
Eddie was stunned and looked up quickly.
He found that it was a white lady.
The other party just threw the money and left without saying anything.
"Someone really threw money?!"
Eddie felt unbelievable.
But then, Eddie realized that he looked more like a beggar now, which made him a little embarrassed.
After all, he was a well-known reporter half a year ago.
He Eddie also wanted to save face!
Then someone else passed by and threw a $100 bill into Christian's bowl in a very generous way.
Eddie bowed quickly: "Thank you, good man."
Looking up again, Eddie looked at the green US dollars in the bowl and instantly felt that it smelled really good.
It seems... this is not bad?
As time went by.
Eddie operated according to Xu Wang's teachings, and he actually made a lot of money in a day!
Feeling the bulging US dollars and coins in his backpack, Eddie's face almost froze with laughter!
As we all know.
Americans rarely have the habit of saving money, or in other words, it is difficult to save money in that society.
The same is true for Eddie.
It was not easy for him to not go bankrupt after being unemployed for half a year.
At this time, he did not have many assets.
As a result, the money earned in this short day was not small.
How could Eddie not be happy.
Just seeing Xu Wang a few dozen meters away, Eddie seemed to recall something and slapped himself in the face instantly!
I am really damned!
Xu Wang said 50-50 at the beginning.
Why did I say 30-70!
"Eddie?"
Just when Eddie was feeling sad and happy, a familiar call instantly pulled him back to the real world.
Turning his head to look at the voice, Eddie's face instantly froze.
When is a person most embarrassed?
Eddie didn't know it before.
But now Eddie is so embarrassed that he wants to die.
He really didn't expect that in such a big city like New York, he would meet his ex-girlfriend here.
Annie didn't expect that after half a year, her ex-boyfriend would be reduced to a beggar...
"Annie, who is this?"
Next to Anne, a man who looked gentle and polite also spoke in confusion.
Annie reacted and immediately introduced the two: "Dan, this is Eddie Brock, my ex-boyfriend."
After saying that, Anne looked at Eddie, who had already petrified, and said: "Eddie, this is Dan, my current boyfriend, he is a surgeon."
Very good.
In just a few seconds, Eddie has refreshed the most embarrassing moment.
Now this look, it's okay to be seen by the ex-girlfriend.
Unexpectedly, he was also seen by the ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend...
