Shadow of the Beautiful World

The wedding of Eric and Charlie is a big event for the Riley family.

But no matter how big things are, there will be a day when they come to an end. After spending 2 days with the family on the west coast, everyone's life quickly returned to the right track.

Merlin bid farewell to Elsa and returned to the work that seemed to never be finished. On the 7th day after Merlin went to work normally, Coulson brought good news to Merlin.

It has been confirmed that the Life Foundation does harbor samples of extraterrestrial life, sir.

On the lens of Icarus, Coulson is sitting in his office, er, the office that originally belonged to Merlin, and he reported to Merlin:

'Reaper' Reyes not only obtained reliable evidence, but also copied the internal research materials of the Life Foundation, and we deciphered those materials.

The scientists of that pharmaceutical company are using various methods to trap homeless people to join their biological experiments at the request of Carlton Drake. According to the current data, at least 17 experimental subjects have died of organ failure , and there are still a large number of missing persons imprisoned by them in the underground of the laboratory building.

So they're a bunch of bad guys?

Merlin pushed his glasses, he said:

Very good, this will make you feel less guilty when you give orders, Coulson

Of course, this is a matter that belongs to the scope of work of sl.d., so I will not interfere. After the mission is over, remember to report the results, and those four alien symbiotes, they are very dangerous creatures, so Must be tightly contained.

I have commissioned Dr. Moira to set up a symbiont laboratory in the ghost base, and after your containment is over, send the samples directly to the laboratory.

Yes, sir.

Coulson responded:

We will act immediately.

Wait, Coulson.

When Coulson was about to hang up the communication, Merlin suddenly reminded:

I consulted some professionals on .b, and they told me that although this kind of symbiont has not appeared on the earth, some aliens have come into contact with them.

These organisms can be contained in low-oxygen containers without finding a host, but if they do find a host, it may take a fight to strip them back.

Their weaknesses are fire and sound waves, to be precise, infrasound waves.

Merlin gave the opportunity to his subordinates face to face, he said:

So when the agents act, it's best to bring corresponding equipment. The flames can be spawned with the Igni method, but it's best to carry a more powerful flamethrower. As for the sound wave gun designed by Winston, it can be used use.

Okay, sir, I see.

Coulson hung up the communication, and Merlin stretched his shoulders and stood up. He has a meeting to attend, and the schedule is really full.

That night, at 10 o'clock in the evening, in the experimental building of the Life Foundation in the San Francisco Bay Area, the researchers working here had already left work an hour ago.

Except for some people on duty, only the security personnel of the headquarters and the action team of Carlton Drake L.D., the leader of the Life Foundation, are ready. Under the leadership of Trip, after the operation order was issued, one team broke in from the main entrance, and the other team landed from a high altitude. With very efficient actions, the building was blocked from two directions.

Those security personnel tried to prevent the witcher agents from entering the research room, but their meager firepower could not stop the agents who were like tigers and wolves at all.

The harsh siren rang throughout the building, and the entire laboratory building was in chaos. This also cheered up an uninvited guest who was hiding outside the building and waiting for an opportunity.

Under the dim streetlights, the embarrassed Eddie Brock was hiding behind a trash can on the side of the street, and the famous former San Francisco investigative reporter was staring at the chaotic laboratory building in front of him.

Why add Yuan because he is already unemployed.

This sad unemployment happened just a few days ago. Eddie first noticed the mass disappearance of homeless people in the city, and then accidentally found information about the Life Foundation from his lawyer girlfriend. Some black material.

That is the record of the victims of the biological experiment of the Life Foundation.

According to the reporter's intuition, he combined the two things together and began to pursue this matter in the streets and alleys, because of the sense of justice surging in his heart, or in other words, his persistent pursuit of the truth, coupled with his popularity , causing him to be quickly blacklisted by the Life Foundation.

Carlton Drake is a very famous businessman on the west coast, he has connections in many industries, and most importantly, he has enough money.

So on the second afternoon when Eddie started investigating the Life Foundation, he was kicked out of his newspaper, slapped by his angry girlfriend, and lost in love

Carlton's revenge was extremely vicious. On the second day after losing his job, Eddie was kicked out of his apartment. On the third day of his unemployment, he was exposed to some unwarranted scandals.

A well-known journalist who almost won a Pulitzer lost everything so easily.

In short, in just a few days, under the operation of the power of capital, Eddie Brock changed from a well-known reporter who was liked by people to a homeless man with nothing.

No one would accept this kind of doom lightly, especially Eddie.

Carlton's revenge made Eddie furious. This stubborn reporter didn't intend to admit defeat just like that. He knew that the best way to justify his name was not to try to clean up his scapegoat with words, it wasn't like this.

As a seasoned reporter, he knows that people's words are terrible, and to change the image in people's minds, he must first find a way to bring down the instigator of all this.

Carlton Drake and his damn life foundation!

He must find evidence to prove his point, to find evidence that the Life Foundation is conducting dangerous experiments with homeless people, and once he finds what he needs, the truth will always come out.

He had even figured out how to disclose all this, Carleton had a lot of influence on the West Coast, so he had to expose this ugly thing elsewhere.

He was going to New York to find his former competitor, the well-known journalist Louise Lane, who won the Pulitzer Prize three times.

Through the influence of Planet Daily, I can realize my efforts to clear my innocence and get back everything I lost!

Of course, Eddie is very clear-headed, he knows that all the foundations for doing all of this are only one thing, he must find enough powerful truth.

This is also the reason why he wandered outside the research building of the Life Foundation in the middle of the night.

He tried to sneak in, but the outside of this damn building was too heavily defended, and the security guards were all armed with guns!

And just when Eddie was already in despair, harsh sirens suddenly sounded in the research building of the Life Foundation. Eddie, who was in despair, saw a group of heavily armed assailants rushing into the research building.

Those vicious security personnel couldn't stop them at all, and there was a conspicuous black and white eagle logo on the combat uniforms of those assaulters.

That's the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo!

Eddie hesitated at this moment. As a senior investigative reporter, he knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. was a behemoth hidden in the official background, and he felt that he should not be involved in such matters.

The Life Foundation seems to be in trouble, perhaps because of the exposure of their illegal and dangerous biological experiments, and the pharmaceutical company is probably doomed.

It’s like Abstergo Pharmaceuticals, which was revealed to be experimenting with “new fluoride” a few years ago. That company was much larger than the Life Foundation, but it was quickly banned under the attack of S.H.I.E.L.D. up.

Should I go there?

Eddie hid in the dark. He looked at the laboratory building that was sealed off by the San Francisco police who came later. He was struggling. It is a good thing that the Life Foundation is finished, but S.H.I.E.L.D. will certainly not be kind enough to help him restore his reputation.

If you want to clean up the black pot on your body, you still have to do it yourself.

This is a matter of my innocence! For a persistent truth seeker, a good, convincing reputation is more valuable than anything else.

Thinking of this, Eddie gritted his teeth, and he quietly crossed the cordon, and while the policemen were busy dispersing the crowd, he rushed into the fire escape with agility.

Eddie's heart was beating violently, he didn't dare to take the elevator, and ran down the safe passage all the way.

He knew that he didn't have much time left, and if he was caught by SHIELD agents, he might face serious charges, and he had to make a quick decision.

Fortunately, the black material he peeked at from his lawyer girlfriend earlier recorded the place where the Life Foundation stored the test items.

just underground

But there's gunshots there already, and hell, those agents are there too!

But this is the end of the matter, and it would be too cowardly to think about escaping.

Eddie also had the air of a bachelor, so he simply gritted his teeth and rushed into the underground laboratory. Fortunately, this place is large enough, and there are more than a dozen laboratories separated by glass. We won't be able to find him for a while.

Eddie took out his mobile phone, walked along the laboratory, and finally entered a place similar to a warehouse. There were more than a dozen square biological cabins in front of his eyes. In each biological cabin, there seemed to be people who were imprisoned. people there.

This is it!

Eddie clenched his fists and let out a silent cheer. He seemed to have foreseen the day when he would clear up his grievances.

He took out his mobile phone and kept taking pictures of the experimental subjects who were thrown into the biological cabin to wait to die. He also found some documents recording the conditions of the experimental subjects in the cabinet next to them.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he took photos of those things.

In the darkness, the constantly flashing lights seemed to wake up an experimental subject in a biological cabin behind Eddie. She got up and looked at Eddie who was looking for evidence with a strange, predator-like gaze. Bullock.

Unfortunately, Eddie was so absorbed in the process of discovering the truth that he ignored what was behind him.

At this time, at the top of the Life Foundation research building, in Carlton Drake's luxurious office, the witcher agents led by Barbie also encountered trouble.

In front of them, a monster with a height of more than 2 meters, covered with strange red-gray speckled horny skin, terrifying gray eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a variety of cold weapons was wreaking havoc trying to escape Surrounded battlefield.

It was extremely aggressive, and when the witcher agents entered the office, they were unexpectedly pierced twice by it, but the demon hunters had strong vitality, but the piercing was not enough to kill them.

Under Barbie's command, the rest of the agents quickly set up magic traps, and those shining purple magic power trapped the monster in the already messy office.

And Barbie herself, wielding a silver sword and carrying a rapid-fire pulse gun, relies on agile movements and superhuman reflexes to fight this monster at close quarters.

It's immune to infrasound, sir!

Outside of the battle situation, the demon hunting agents held special sonic guns and continuously bombarded the monster with infrasonic waves, but it seemed to be unharmed, as if it was not afraid of the sonic bombardment at all.

kuang

Barbie dodged and rolled on the ground for two weeks, narrowly dodging the strangely shaped giant ax in the monster's hand. She threw away the useless pulse gun, and threw out a fast and ruthless Igni French seal.

A raging torrent of flames was thrown towards the monster by Barbie. The latter reacted extremely to the attack of the flames. It screamed and raised its arms. The strange flowing substance on its body formed a thick shield, barely blocking it. Invasion of flames.

But Barbie noticed the burn on the guy's arm.

it has weaknesses

Not afraid of sound waves, but more afraid of flames!

Use fire!

Barbie squeezed out the Igni Sign again, and threw a ball of lava fire at the roaring monster. Beside her, the witcher agents took out several flamethrowers, and sprayed them continuously at the monster trapped by the magic trap.

In the extremely high-temperature flames, the monster howled in pain, and the horniness on its body surface was continuously burned into ashes. It recklessly slammed into the window, as if it wanted to smash the window to escape.

But just as it approached the window, Barbie appeared there, and the symbiote's fist slammed in front of Barbie, and the broken Kunn seal blocked Barbie from the blow that could smash her into a pulp.

She swung the long sword, and in the flame-wrapped sword edge, the monster was pierced by her sword, and between the energy bursts of Alder's seal, the monster seemed to be punched head-on, and the whole body was pushed back. Returned to the trap of burning flames.

The monster was very afraid of the flames, and it quickly became weak during the burning, and soon fell to the ground howling.

stop!

Barbie raised her hand to signal the agents to stop the flame spraying. She stepped forward amidst the dancing ashes. Under her feet, the leader of the Life Foundation, Carlton Drake, was no longer breathing.

At the feet of the badly burned corpse, there was a puddle of weird liquid that was weakening and wriggling.

That was the stripped symbiote, and it was not far from death.

Contain it!

Barbie waved her hand, and immediately special containment personnel rushed into the room that was still emitting high temperature, and used very professional equipment to put the wriggling liquid creature into the cylindrical containment cabin.

Trump, the battle on my side is over, have you found the other three containment objects?

Barbie asked in the communicator, but she heard the sound of fighting from the communicator, as well as Tripp's weak voice:

I found two, but the third one, heck, it just found a new host and punched me. This bastard is really powerful. Even with the protection of the seal, I have broken at least 4 bones.

It's terrible.

Barbie inserted the long sword back into the scabbard. There was a beauty mole on her forehead. The heroic female agent waved the single ponytail that danced behind her head. She said:

Do you need me to help?

No, no, it's already under our control. Fire and Soundwave are indeed his nemesis, but there's something wrong with its host status, so we plan to take him back together.

Okay, I'll report to the chief right away.

Barbie hung up the communication and glanced at the corpse being put into a body bag under her feet. The famous rich man on the west coast had been burnt beyond recognition. She snorted and said:

These rich people really have something wrong with being a good rich man. Do they just like being monsters so much?
