Chapter 279 The Way to Divert Attention
The social order in New York is getting worse and worse.
This is the common feeling of everyone living in New York right now.
In the morning, they are the supporters of the sheriff, and in the afternoon, they are the supporters of Captain America, and in the middle are the physical evidence investigations of those vicious ex-criminals.
Many ordinary people have a feeling that, except for himself, everyone around them is crazy.
Eddie Brock is no exception.
It's just that he feels more deeply than most people.
Riots mean news, so as a reporter, his workload has been skyrocketing lately.
However, reporting this kind of news means putting yourself in danger, and even several times, if not for his special reasons, it may have been included as one of the death figures on the news report the next day .
"Haha." The gloomy voice echoed in his mind, "We should find a place and just watch like this."
Eddie ignored it. This chaotic social environment undoubtedly made Venom very useful. To a large extent, Venom's character is like a bad boy who is afraid of chaos.
The bus system has been paralyzed, and Eddie can only use his mobile phone to call a car.
Just when he had just placed an order and sat down to put on his formal clothes and go out, there was a "bang bang" knocking sound from his window.
Eddie turned his head, and what he saw was a spider web head that he was very familiar with but had extremely complicated feelings.
"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to me." Eddie canceled his car and asked JJJ for a leave of absence.
"Sorry." Spider-Man stood in the living room, "But, I may have made a mistake."
"Mistake?" Eddie frowned at him. "No matter what you do, I can't help you. Venom has no effect in this situation."
As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly felt a strong dissatisfaction from the symbiote on him.
"I may have made a wrong judgment because of some personal emotions." Spider-Man didn't care, he continued, "I may have made things worse.
"I know that neither you nor Venom are the same as before."
He hesitated and said: "When I left, I knew that you did a lot of good things..."
"But the situation didn't get better in the end." Eddie was a little depressed, "I still can't really control the venom, or in other words, I can't really control it at all. It will only listen to me when it wants to listen to me." .”
"However, Venom didn't do anything wrong, did it? At that time, you just thought that Scarlet Spider wanted to attack Aunt May." Spider-Man said, "What's more, even Venom didn't kill as much as before. Isn't it?"
"Okay, what do you want to say?" Eddie didn't want to continue going around in circles like this.
……
Bullseye and Tarantula followed Punisher with some trepidation.
Even Bullseye, who has always been daring, couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive following the Punisher at such a close distance.
Under normal circumstances, the punisher would probably have shot himself in the head without warning.
The punisher glanced at the two of them, not hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.
"Because of Fury, I can not kill you for a while," he said, "However, if it is really necessary, I never mind doing it alone."
"We..." the tarantula asked cautiously, "what shall we do now?"
"First, you must fully obey my instructions." The punisher said selfishly, "Second, I don't guarantee that you will survive, but if you are obedient enough, I can at least prevent you from dying in my hand. Got it?"
He didn't wait for the two to answer: "Let's go, time waits for no one."
When the Punisher left, Hill connected Fury's communication: "Are you sure it's okay to do this? Why do I feel that Tarantula and Bullseye didn't kill him after the Punisher's most touching welcome speech in history? A huge success?"
Fury was silent.
After a moment, he replied: "It doesn't matter anymore."
"What do you want them to do?" Hill couldn't help asking, "With all due respect, the Punisher is a very strong agent, but what he is good at is killing people. In the current situation, killing people can't solve any problems at all. question."
"Killing can't solve the problem." Fury's voice was indifferent, "However, a real murderer can."
Hill didn't understand at first, but then she suddenly realized something: "Are you crazy!"
"This is a madman's game!" Fury yelled. "The whole world is crazy! Only with crazier things to calm everyone down! Like..."
He lowered his voice as he spoke, "Just like what they did last time."
"But..." Hill wanted to argue, "In this way, they will..."
"You have to pay attention to your focus!" Fury said, "They are a group of criminals! Even Frank, with what he has done, is enough for ten executions! At least this time, they can still do one the right thing to do."
Seeing what Hill wanted to say, his voice was extremely cold: "We are S.H.I.E.L.D.! What we care about is not the so-called law! The only reason for our existence is to protect the world from fucking!"
"Yes, yes." Hill replied.
……
"Assassinate the President?!" Bullseye jumped up, "Do you understand what you're talking about?"
Beside him, Tarantula's expression showed his same shock.
"What's the matter?" Frank stopped cleaning the gun in his hands and glanced at him, "I thought you were criminals."
"I'm a criminal!" Bullseye said. "But, assassinate the President? Man, are you right? We were thrown by Fury! You mean, S.H.I.E.L.D. wants us to kill the President?"
"Of course not." Frank snorted, "Of course S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot kill the president, so we did it."
"No..." Bullseye was speechless, of course he knew that SHIELD asked them to do this, just to get himself out, but... no matter from which point of view, SHIELD planned the assassination of the president, what do you think? Something is wrong?Moreover, this is the punisher!The evil star who deserves to die as long as he thinks you are guilty, would he be willing to do such a thing?
"The President is Hydra." The Punisher seemed to understand what Bullseye was thinking. "So, let's kill him."
"Of course I know that!" Bullseye is not stupid, and Fury told him some general information, "But, with all due respect, even if we kill that guy, Steve Rogers is still a wanted man. It doesn't make any sense at all."
"What we do has nothing to do with helping the captain." The punisher said, "If something happens, if you want people to stop paying attention, you have to cover it up with a bigger thing. If you want people to stop paying attention Captain, there must be someone who can do better than him."
The punisher said indifferently: "That's what they did last time, because I killed people and implicated those superheroes, so they tried to make me confront the superheroes, this time, it's the same, we killed the president , and we are not the captain, without the snake head, the sheriff will return to normal, and the captain will have the opportunity to prove his innocence, and the now divided society will be united again because of the hatred for us, it's as simple as that."
"What about us?" Bullseye yelled, "We've become Presidential Assassins!"
"Don't you want a happy ending?" The punisher looked at him disdainfully, "With the crimes you have committed, [-] deaths are enough, so at least you can do something meaningful before you die." Isn’t something of value the greatest gift to you?”
"What about you!" Bullseye argues, "even if I'm heinous, don't you think you are too?"
"Me?" The punisher seems to have heard some incredible joke, "What does this have to do with me? Whether it is good or evil, good or bad, law-breaking or law-abiding, these have nothing to do with me. Voss , it’s Hydra, he committed a crime, I kill him, it’s as simple as that.”
"And after that?" Bullseye said, trying to capitalize on the Punisher's desire to win, "You died with us, too?"
"Dead?" The punisher laughed loudly. "First of all, they have arrested me for so long. According to the standards of those so-called law enforcement agencies, I should have died a long time ago, but look at me, am I still alive and well?"
Apparently, the Bullseye issue has finally worn out Punisher's patience: "Now, go get yourself ready, and if you want to quit, I can make you quit forever."
……
"You said...you helped the sheriff capture the captain?" Eddie's eyes widened in disbelief. "Also, the scarlet spider is an octopus?"
"Yes." Spider-Man was in pain, "but...but I think I did something wrong. I don't believe in octopuses, but...but what if he really gets better? And...and even if it's like Vale What Leah said, Colt calculated a lot before, but he really saved me, and now, because of me, he was caught by Hydra, anyway, it's all my fault."
"Although I don't understand why you think the octopus will change his ways, and he doesn't know Colt, but..." Eddie gritted his teeth, "I believe you.
"What should we do now?"
"We got Cap," Spider-Man said, "before the Sheriff and Hydra."
"Hell's Kitchen is not an easy place to find people." Eddie sighed.
"I know you can find a lot of clues," Spider-Man said, "just like your reports can always find things that others can't."
"Okay," Eddie replied, "I do have some informants in Hell's Kitchen, but whether it's the rich man Peter Parker or the good neighbor Spider-Man, it's not suitable to talk to them."
Spider-Man was silent for a moment.
"I understand." He stepped on the window frame, "Then contact me when you have news."
"By the way, this matter is over, let me do an exclusive interview." Eddie said, "Just treat it as a favor."
Spider-Man nodded and jumped out of the window.
Seeing Spider-Man leave, Eddie let out a long sigh.
"Let's go, we have something to do." He said softly.
"It's long overdue."
A layer of flowing black symbiote enveloped his body.
"It's time to move on." Venom said excitedly, showing its sharp fangs.
……
"I didn't expect you to be so young." Old Voss met Colt sent from Hydra headquarters alone in the office.
Like Old Voss, Colt was also looking at the fifty-year-old man in front of him.
"Change the windows here," he said suddenly.
"Window?" Old Voss didn't understand. "Are you worried about the safety here? This is already bulletproof glass."
"No." Colt said, "I will provide you with new materials. It is impossible to guarantee safety for this kind of thing."
Old Voss had a weird expression on his face, but after all, he was sent by Hydra. It could even be said that Colt was his superior.
"I also looked at your security system when I first came in. Only metal detectors are definitely not enough." He continued, "There are too many ways to fool the metal detector or complete the assassination without relying on metal. In the end, the security system must be re-established according to the process I gave."
"Do you think someone will come to assassinate me?" Old Voss couldn't bear it anymore, "Is this impossible? They all know that killing me will have no effect, but will only make the people hate them even more. This is digging their own grave." .”
"Just let someone do it." Colt didn't care. "As long as it's not a superhero, it's fine."
"You have created an unsolvable problem for them, but no matter how misunderstood a problem is, as long as no one cares, it is not a problem, and the best way to make people not care is to create a bigger and more difficult problem." Attractive events, and how many events in this country are more attractive than the assassination of the president?"
"They wouldn't do that, would they?" Old Worth couldn't help but said, "I mean, even if those heroes could think of something like assassinating the president, they couldn't really cross their bottom line to carry it out. They don't even want to execute criminals, but follow the law."
"The Avengers won't, but that doesn't mean Fury won't." Colt replied calmly, "Fury's goal has never been to protect the law or justice, his goal has always been clear, and you , as a hydra, he wants to kill you without any psychological burden."
Old Worth's expression changed: "But...but he is SHIELD? Is he willing to make himself a wanted criminal? Even if he did this according to what you said, he will not escape the responsibility."
"You don't naively think that Fury will let his own people do this kind of thing?" Colt sneered, "Under his hands, some people do these dirty jobs. When the time comes, it will be a little different from him. It has nothing to do with it, it's just the actions of a group of criminals themselves, how can you blame S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
