The field, which had enveloped an area of several dozen ters in radius the mont Venom lunged into the sea, froze everything within it. Whether it was Venom suspended in mid-air or the seawater below the bridge pillars, everything was immobilized. Of course, as the owner of the field, Lin Rui was free to move about.
Releasing the field with a casual gesture had effectively trapped the fleeing Venom, which, in Lin Rui’s eyes, was quite normal. In terms of strength, Venom, parasitizing Eddie, was truly beneath Lin Rui’s notice; they were simply not on the sa level.
Approaching the suspended Venom in a few strides, Lin Rui circled around it, carefully observing the situation of this ard host. It had to be admitted that this form of arming was far superior to Tony’s previous attempts at arming “Venom” with electrical control.
“You should be able to hear , whether you’re Eddie or Venom,” Lin Rui said, staring at the horrifying face after completing his inspection by circling it.
After Lin Rui finished speaking, Venom’s black eyes twitched slightly. Evidently, it had heard Lin Rui’s words.
“Well, I’ll release the control in a mont, but you can’t run. If you agree, just blink.”
This ti, Venom’s large black eyes made a concerted effort to narrow slightly. Although it couldn’t quite manage to blink, Lin Rui understood that it had agreed. Therefore, at the next mont, Lin Rui released control of the field over this area.
Poof!
With the disappearance of the field, Venom, which had been floating in mid-air, had already landed. Just as Lin Rui had said, Venom did not attempt to flee. However, at this mont, it was obviously taken aback by Lin Rui’s swift action. It stood there sowhat bewildered, its dark eyes contracting continuously.
“Let’s get out of this state first and release Eddie. You look rather… ugly like this,” Lin Rui said to the horrifying face before him after issuing another order.
Huffing and puffing, after Lin Rui issued this command, Venom promptly retracted its structure from outside Eddie’s body. Soon, the formidable black monster transford back into Eddie, an ordinary person.
However, Venom did not fully withdraw; it left a small portion of itself on Eddie’s shoulder. It just refrained from forming that terrifying face.
“That’s better. Do you know what a teddy bear looks like? Transform into that and speak with ,” Lin Rui said to the small clump of Venom on Eddie’s shoulder, not waiting for Eddie to regain control of his body.
This ti, Venom hesitated for a mont, whether unwilling or searching for the image of a teddy bear in Eddie’s mind, it wasn’t clear. Two seconds later, the clump of black matter on Eddie’s shoulder began to move, quickly transforming into the appearance of a teddy bear.
Now, Lin Rui finally nodded with a smile. Of course, due to the mask covering his face, neither Eddie nor the transford Venom could see Lin Rui’s expression.
At this point, after going through Venom’s sudden control and transformation into an escape attempt, to Lin Rui’s swift intervention and subsequent obedience, Eddie was utterly bewildered.
Although Eddie knew that Phantom Knight was formidable, he had not anticipated the extent of his power. Just a mont ago, Venom, which had displayed its power by killing nurous pursuers, had turned into a soft little kitten in front of Phantom Knight. No, rather, it was like a small teddy bear.
“Phantom Knight, what is this about…” After calming down from a complex mixture of emotions, Eddie looked at Phantom Knight, whose eyes were the only visible part of his face, and hesitantly began to inquire.
“It’s nothing. The activities the Life Foundation has been conducting here didn’t require my involvent. I was simply curious about this Venom and ca here. Don’t worry, Mr. Brock, you don’t need to fear for your life.” Seemingly aware of Eddie’s intention to inquire further, Lin Rui answered before he could finish.
Besides answering Eddie’s questions, Lin Rui also provided him with a peace of mind. With Lin Rui present, even if Venom parasitized Eddie’s body, it wouldn’t pose a threat to Eddie in Lin Rui’s presence. After studying “Venom” for so long following Tony, Lin Rui possessed no less than five or six thods to extract Venom from its host.
“Huff~…”
Hearing Lin Rui’s response, Eddie couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Despite his strong stance during his negotiations with Venom earlier, fear of death lingered. Especially when dealing with the parasitization of an extraterrestrial lifeform like this.
Since Phantom Knight assured his safety, Eddie naturally trusted him. Hadn’t Eddie noticed that Venom, the clump on his shoulder transford into a teddy bear, showed no signs of disagreeing with Phantom Knight’s words?
“So…”
Since Phantom Knight had promised to ensure his safety, Eddie wanted to ask if Venom could be removed from his body. Only by doing so could Eddie truly find peace. Having an extraterrestrial lifeform harboring malicious intent within him, ready to threaten his life by devouring his liver at any mont, was a constant source of anxiety for Eddie.
“Eddie! Don’t let him remove ! I can help you deal with the Life Foundation! I can assist you in taking down Carlton Drake!”
However, before Eddie could finish his question, Venom had begun shouting anxiously in his mind. Phantom Knight’s earlier display had already frightened Venom. It had no doubt that the person before it could easily separate it from Eddie.
And once separated from Eddie, Venom wouldn’t survive for long in the outside world. Faced with the choice between its own survival and saving the space species, Venom firmly chose the forr.
“Hmph! Now you want to help ? But I don’t think I really need you,” Eddie retorted with newfound confidence upon hearing Venom’s words in his mind.
For Eddie, Venom, who had been parasitizing his body, had seemingly brought him nothing but trouble up to this point. As for dealing with the Life Foundation, even without Venom’s support, Eddie believed he could handle it.
From the words Phantom Knight had spoken earlier, Eddie easily deduced that Phantom Knight was already well aware of the activities of the Life Foundation. As long as Eddie and Phantom Knight had a clear conversation about it, he was confident that Phantom Knight, as the leader of the League of Defenders, would not stand idly by.
“Eddie! Eddie! I promise I won’t threaten you anymore! I’ll listen to you! I’ll obey your every command!” Sensing Eddie’s thoughts in his mind, Venom grew even more anxious.
“Heh…”
While Eddie and Venom were engaged in a rapid ntal exchange, Lin Rui stood there silently observing. He naturally knew that Eddie was currently communicating with Venom in his mind, and he had no need to intervene. After all, Venom posed no real threat in this situation.
