Chapter 127: Old friends reunite, ghosts also sleepless

Westchester National Forest Park.

It was not the peak tourist season, so there were no hikers walking in the fir forest. A wide river was rolling, and the waves were washing on the pebble beach.

"Crash!"

A wave rose in the river, and a large dark blue gelatinous object floated out of the water. Pushed by the waves, it slowly approached the shore.

As soon as this unidentified object reached the shore, it suddenly squirmed and disappeared, revealing a young man with brown hair and freckles wrapped inside, which had retracted into his body.

The white man was lying wet on the pebbled beach on the shore, his messy hair sticking to his scalp, holding a plastic doll in his arms.

The plastic doll climbed up from his arms, brushed off the broken leaves on its body, then turned around and slapped the brown-haired, freckled man in the face.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

The brown-haired man with freckles woke up with a start, took a deep breath of fresh air, and looked around with wide eyes.

"We...we made it out alive?"

Ron Benzim asked, looking around at the fir trees.

"nonsense."

Upton du Pont said unhappily.

"Wow, this underground river really leads to the outside world. Oh my god, I almost suffocated to death."

Ron exclaimed.

At this moment, a deep voice sounded in his mind:

"You won't suffocate to death. I swallowed three people's heads before entering the dark river. The energy I have stored is enough for you to live for a long time."

"Okay, okay, got it. After we get out, let's have a good meal."

Ron muttered to himself into thin air.

Upton was no longer surprised by this scene. The two of them dragged their wet bodies to a sign pointing to the exit of the forest park.

The plastic ghost doll pointed at the sign and said,

"Qingshan parked the car at the exit when we came here. They should be waiting for us at the exit of the forest park. Let's go over there."

"What if they're gone?"

Ron asked.

"Then we can only walk to the Bronx in New York, to the green house on Pike Street, which is one of Zhang's bases."

Upton said.

"Okay." Ron nodded.

As the host of the symbiote, he is no longer the guy without superpowers. Even if he has to walk to downtown New York, he will not be too slow in the symbiote state.

…

Outside the gate of the forest park, a man and a child saw a silver-gray Peterbilt heavy truck parked quietly. Fu Qinghai stuck his head out of the window and honked the horn.

"Drip, drip—"

At this moment, Upton DuPont and Ron Benzim both smiled with joy and relief.

Old friends reunited and survived the disaster.

very nice.

…

A silver-gray heavy truck was driving on the road leading to New York City.

The plastic ghost doll is small, so it doesn't matter where it sits. Since Zhang Yuning has to sit in the passenger seat, Ron Benzim can only sit on the folding bed in the back row.

Fortunately, the front of the American heavy truck was wide and huge, so Ron didn't feel crowded when sitting in the back seat with a plastic doll in his arms.

Along the way, the four people talked about what they had seen and heard after entering this main world.

"By the way, Qingshan, how did you get so big?"

Ron looked at the two-meter-five-tall giant sitting in the driver's seat and first asked the question he was most curious about.

Zhang Yuning and Upton also pricked up their ears quietly. After they judged from the black steel sword that the person in the dragon-slaying video was Fu Qinghai, they also noticed the abnormality of his body size, but they never asked.

"This is my original form."

Fu Qinghai explained: "I am a cyborg soldier from the Warhammer 40K universe. The me you see in the Conjuring universe is me after being suppressed by the worldview. You can understand it this way. Now I am in my complete form, including the armor I am wearing."

"Oh~" Ron suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but exclaimed:

"You are already so strong in the Conjuring Universe, and you are still in a suppressed state. My God, how strong would you be in your complete form?"

How strong?

"I killed all the reincarnations in the mine laboratory."

Fu Qinghai held the steering wheel, looked ahead, and said lightly.

Wow...

The three people in the car were all shocked.

Fu Qinghai proposed that he would attract firepower and attention, while Upton DuPont would go to the depths of the mine to meet up with Ron Benzim first, and that they could ignore Fu Qinghai and escape directly from the underground river. This was a safe arrangement made because they did not know how powerful Perfect Humanity was in the mine laboratory.

In fact, if we work backwards based on the results after the fact, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Fu Qinghai fought his way in, killed everyone, rescued Ron, and that was it.

The reason why Fu Qinghai was so sure that all the reincarnations in the mine laboratory had been killed by him was because just now, he received the notification sound of assimilation point reward.

This means that the reincarnations trapped deep in the mine have died from the chemical attack of four mixed poison gases.

Fu Qinghai killed them without even knowing what their abilities were.

No matter what ability it is, it cannot make you immune to poison gas.

Fu Qinghai also raised his own questions:

"Please introduce your symbiote, Ron."

Ron Benzim was about to speak when a hideous and evil head with dark blue sharp teeth stretched out from behind him. The head said,

"Hello everyone. I am Ron Benzim's reborn parent and savior. My name is Hatred. I am the original symbiote from the symbiote planet Kuntar. Remember, I am not the offspring of that loser Venom."

Ron's lines were snatched away by the symbiote, and he was so angry that he slapped Hate's little head and knocked him back.

Fu Qinghai had already seen the appearance of this symbiote through the rearview mirror.

Overall, it is the same as the famous venom, with an amorphous gelatinous body, two evil white eye-like outlines and an exaggerated mouth with sharp teeth.

Unlike Venom's pure black color, this symbiote named Abomination is dark blue, the kind of dark blue that is almost black.

Hate specifically emphasized this point to everyone present—

He is not a descendant of Venom.

Instead, it came from the Symbiote Planet, the place where the ancestor of the Symbiotes, the evil god Knull, was sealed.

Venom is the first symbiote to appear in comics, and almost all the named symbiotes in the Marvel Universe are his descendants, but this does not mean that Venom is the only symbiote. On the symbiote planet Kuntar, there are countless symbiotes of various kinds.

"Did you get him in the last reincarnation world?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

Ron nodded and said:

"Yes, at the last moment before I left the last reincarnation world, I was possessed by hatred. I spent the assimilation points I had accumulated for a long time to assimilate him, and then I landed in the current Earth-36 universe."

He went on to say:

"When I first came to New York, I hadn't gotten over hatred yet. We couldn't accept each other, which prevented me from showing my true strength. I also often went berserk for no reason and couldn't control myself, causing some noise in the city."

"Then I was targeted by the people of Perfect Humanity. They wanted to use the hatred in me to hatch a large number of symbiotes for Perfect Humanity to use, just like how Venom was used to produce riots, whips, devouring and pain in the comics."

"Because I failed to perfectly merge with Hatred at the beginning, I was captured by them. I was tied up and taken to a laboratory in the mine. They were going to extract the symbiote in my body. Thanks to Upton's help, I escaped from the laboratory and hid deep in the mine. While trying to merge with Hatred, I dealt with them and looked for opportunities. Occasionally, I was able to hunt down one or two perfect human reincarnations."

"I felt that this was not a solution. Sooner or later, I would be captured by them again. So I asked Upton to escape from the mine and pass on the information. That's how I contacted Zhang and you."

Ron Benzim explained the whole story in detail.

Fu Qinghai understood that if Ron could fully utilize the abilities of the symbiote from the beginning, although he could not defeat the perfect reincarnation, he should have no problem escaping and would not be captured alive by them.

The compatibility between the symbiote and the host is also a problem. In many cases, the symbiote completely controls the host, turning the host into a puppet controlled by the symbiote. Ron can control his symbiote to a certain extent, and his mental willpower is impressive.

Fu Qinghai said:

"I checked the Perfect Humans' experimental logs. They mainly want to use Essex's technology to further explore a method of stably implanting the X gene and restore the X gene in their bodies. They may have captured you on a whim, or they may have used you as a backup plan."

If the X gene doesn't work, then we'll try the backup plan of the symbiont.

Ron Benzim nodded in agreement and said,

"This is the character of a perfect human being. These guys are notorious in the samsara world, and countless people have cursed them in the samsara forum."

Fu Qinghai thought of something and suddenly asked,

"By the way, Ron, is your symbiote also afraid of sound waves and fire?"

Ron nodded solemnly and said,

"All the original symbiotes from the Symbiote Planet are afraid of sound waves and fire."

In Marvel's setting, the symbiotes came from the evil god Knull's cosmic artifact - the Black Death Sword. Knull used the Black Death Sword to kill a Celestial who woke him up from his sleep, and reforged the Black Death Sword in the Celestial's head. The Black Death Sword is the source of all symbiotes.

The original symbiotes were afraid of sound waves and fire, which is said to be due to Knull's forging process.

Of course, this "fear" also has different levels of intensity. An ordinary person cannot scare the symbiote with just a roar. It must be at least sonic damage at the energy level of ultrasound or infrasound to interfere with and harm the symbiote to a certain extent. Note that it is only damage, not instant death.

It's not that you can kill the symbiote by just holding up a torch. It is clearly shown in the movie "Venom 2" that the flames produced by igniting gasoline only make Carnage feel bored and uncomfortable.

When Fu Qinghai was building the Blue Shell Power Armor, why did he insist on retaining the super-sonic wave launchers from the Mark-36 Regulator and the Mark-39 Gemini? It was so that if he encountered an enemy carrying a symbiote one day in the future, he would be able to restrain him.

This is "Details".

And if Fu Qinghai brings the melta weapon from Warhammer 40K into the Marvel Universe, it can be called a "symbiote killer".

The high-density hot-melt rays compressed and condensed by promethium can burn through ceramic steel and evaporate molten iron. The temperature is simply incomparable to ordinary fire.

Thinking of the X-gene research data obtained from the perfect human, Fu Qinghai suddenly had an idea.

Fu Qinghai glanced at Ron in the rearview mirror, his mind turning over and over, and finally, he spoke directly:

"Ron, I want to study the symbiote in you."

Ron Benzim had just escaped from the clutches of Perfect Human after going through a lot of hardships, just because Perfect Human wanted to study his symbiote. If Fu Qinghai had any emotional intelligence, he should not have brought up such things at this time.

But Fu Qinghai thought about it again and again, and finally did not choose to beat around the bush, but said it directly. He also wanted to take this opportunity to test Ron's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Ron agreed immediately:

"No problem."

The big boy with brown hair and freckles looked into Fu Qinghai's eyes in the rearview mirror and said seriously:

"I trust you, Qingshan. You are different from those rubbish of the perfect human race. They will do anything to their own people. I believe you will not hurt me. If you want to study the symbiont, I will cooperate with you."

Fu Qinghai nodded, looked forward, and said nothing more.

The strength of the symbiote is strong at the same time and weak at the same time.

Take the most famous symbiote, Venom, as an example. Venom has no status in the symbiote planet and is very cowardly. He also has the weaknesses of the original symbiote, which is fear of sound waves and fire.

The children that split or hatched from Venom include Massacre, Contempt, Mania, Riot... Each one is stronger than Venom. Many of them are not only immune to sound waves and fire, but also have developed their own unique abilities.

Some can fly, and some can merge.

There are also some, such as the electronic mechanical symbiote, Contempt, which can not only possess intelligent creatures, but also mechanical creations.

Not to mention serum, which is also a perverted form of anti-venom.

These descendants have no ethics or morals and showed no mercy when beating Venom.

It's like, the son beats his father, and the more he beats, the happier he gets.

However, the protagonist is the protagonist after all. Although the symbiote needs to possess others to exert its abilities and is subject to the basic limitations of the host, as a high-dimensional creature beyond three dimensions, the upper limit of the symbiote is also very high.

Venom's most glorious moment in the Marvel Ultimate Universe was the battle with the virtual electronic Iron Man who wanted to destroy the universe and restart it. Venom directly possessed and enveloped all living things on the earth, including all superheroes and all ordinary creatures, and transferred them all into the Venom dimension of his own creation to avoid the destruction of the virtual electronic Iron Man.

This aroused Fu Qinghai's interest in studying symbionts.

It was not until this time that Fu Qinghai suddenly thought of another question.

By the way, Ron Benzim, Upton Dupont, and Zhang Yuning, what plot line are these people in?

Fu Qinghai asked as soon as he thought of it:

"Hey, speaking of which, what camp have you all been assigned to in the reincarnation world?"

There was silence in the carriage.

Someone has thought of this problem a long time ago.

When Upton went to seek Zhang Yuning's help and tried to rescue Ron, when Upton tried every means to find Fu Qinghai and prepared to attack the laboratory.

Upton and Zhang Yuning tacitly did not mention the matter of the camp.

Because everyone knows that once the camp is mentioned, things become complicated.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This trust will be questioned and will be mixed with many factors of uncertainty and suspicion.

Therefore, the best way is to pretend that the camp does not exist and no one should ask.

In the quiet carriage, there was only slight noise and wind coming from outside the window. Even Ron was silent. For a moment, everyone didn't know whether they should discuss this issue.

Fu Qinghai glanced at a few people, smiled, and said,

"Why are you so nervous? How about this, I'll count to one, two, three, and we'll announce our camps together, how about that?"

Fu Qinghai has the confidence to say this.

He believed that he was the strongest reincarnation among the four people. As long as he did not have any evil thoughts, the other three people combined would not be able to defeat him.

Not to mention Ron and Upton, Zhang Yuning's ability seems unreasonable, but she needs to rely on a haunted house and plan in advance to maximize her ability. She is very weak in encounters and head-on battles.

Zhang Yuning nodded slightly, approving of Fu Qinghai's approach.

Seeing this, Fu Qinghai said softly:

"one."

"two."

"three."

After counting three times, the four people in the car said in unison:

"Leviathan."

"Leviathan."

"Hydra."

"Leviathan."

Fu Qinghai was stunned, and the three people were also stunned at the same time.

Fu Qinghai scratched his head and said hesitantly,

"So... I'm the only one in the same camp as you?"

Zhang Yuning glanced at Fu Qinghai with a meaningful look.

Unexpectedly, after learning about everyone's respective camps, Ron became the first person to be moved. His eyes were red, and his tone was a little choked with sobs. He said earnestly:

"To be honest, everyone, I really didn't expect that you would all disregard your own storyline missions and factions and come to rescue me. We are just strangers who have experienced the same dungeon world... Zhang, Qingshan, this is the second time I have been rescued by the two of you, I..."

"Okay."

Before she could finish her words, Zhang Yuning waved her hand impatiently to interrupt Ron's affectionate confession:

"Stop it. It's disgusting for a grown man to cry."

Ron was startled. A dark blue, ferocious little head suddenly popped out from his shoulder and said:

"Well done, ma'am. I've been annoyed with him for a long time."

Ron went completely crazy and started wrestling with the symbiote's hateful head.

"Hahaha."

Fu Qinghai couldn't help laughing. He waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry. Although you may not know me, I will be frank. I have never taken assimilation points and plot lines too seriously. I think there are things more important than assimilation points in the reincarnation world... I'm just curious, what kind of faction is this Leviathan? I've never heard of it before."

Fu Qinghai didn't realize until now that there are actually three forces in the current plot line. He always thought it was just a love-hate relationship between Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Ron Benzim shook his head and said,

"I don't know. As soon as I arrived, I was busy fighting wits and courage with Hatred and integrating him. Then I was captured by the Perfect Humans. I have never had time to care about the plot line and the faction."

Upton Dupont also shook his head and said:

"I don't know. As soon as I arrived, I was busy saving Private Ron. First I went to find Zhang, and then I came to find you. I didn't have time to care about the plot line and the faction."

Only Zhang Yuning, with her arms folded across her chest, leaned back on the chair and whispered:

"After I moved into the old house on Pike Street, I have been staying there looking for clues about the camp. I have used my abilities many times and also searched a lot of information on the Internet, but I have not found any clues about this 'Leviathan' organization."

Now this is interesting…

Fu Qinghai thought.

This is a force that even a half-baked Marvel fan like me has never heard of. Zhang Yuning has been searching for it for a long time since her arrival, but still can't find anything. So what kind of camp is this?

Fu Qinghai felt that it had taken him a lot of trouble to get in touch with Hydra. Now many players in the Hydra camp probably don't even know where the organization is. Relatively speaking, SHIELD as an official organization is simpler. At least you can find SHIELD indirectly by looking for the Avengers. If you are not qualified to find the Avengers, the same can be said for the Defenders, who are known as the Street Avengers.

Hydra and SHIELD have already had a big fight, the Battle of Manhattan, and as for the Leviathan camp led by Zhang Yuning and the other two, their figures have even been seen so far in the plot.

Then, Zhang Yuning added softly,

"However, when I was on Pike Street, I discovered that I could get assimilation points for killing Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reincarnations."

Not only three forces, but also a war between three kingdoms...

Fu Qinghai frowned and thought deeply.

There is no alliance between Leviathan, Hydra, and S.H.I.E.L.D.

It's a bit complicated.

What exactly is the condition for the camp to win?

The silver-gray heavy truck drove into the forest of high-rise buildings in New York City.

…

Fu Qinghai parked the heavy truck outside the laboratory building in the Harbor District. Fu Qinghai shot himself with a Pym ray and returned to his 1.9-meter-tall state. Then the four of them changed to a Hummer and went to Pike Street in the Bronx, the old house rented by Zhang Yuning.

The laboratory building is too deeply involved with Hammer Industries and is not suitable as a gathering point for the four reincarnations. However, Zhang Yuning's ability allows her to easily build a safe house, so it is very appropriate to go to her haunted house.

The most important thing is that Fu Qinghai was afraid that Justine Hammer would come to him if he stayed in the laboratory.

Then Ron and Upton will have some fun watching.

On the self-cultivation of an old scumbag.

Fu Qinghai suggested that everyone go to Pike Street for a chat.

The three of them agreed without giving it much thought.

…

Pike Street in the Bronx is still the same as before, a desolate street with flying newspapers, cracked asphalt, weeds growing on the curb, and empty bottles, cigarette butts and marijuana bags littered everywhere.

At night, in the old green house, heavy cloth curtains covered all the windows. Three people and a child sat around the table next to the fireplace in the living room, toasting their glasses and chatting happily.

Although Upton still couldn't drink, this time it was different, he had cigars to smoke.

There are a lot of good wines in Zhang Yuning's house, including absinthe, gin, tequila, and even a bottle of Moutai, but I don't know whether it is real or fake.

None of these ordinary alcoholic beverages could make Astartes drunk, and Fu Qinghai didn't care, as long as everyone was happy.

Zhang Yuning can drink a lot, and after a few glasses of liquor, her expression remained calm and composed.

Ron, on the other hand, although he was already parasitized by a symbiote and had super powers, he still drank until his face was red and he was crying, and he started to talk about feelings with the three of them.

It can be seen that obtaining super powers is very important to him. In the Conjuring universe, he is the only ordinary person among the four people without special abilities, and his encounter with the perfect human reincarnation almost made him lose his super powers.

Ron was very excited. He was crying and laughing, dancing in the living room with a bottle of wine in his hand.

He threatened to find Upton a wife.

The plastic doll raised his cigar with disdain and said: In the later films of the IT series, the protagonist Chucky already has a wife, and not only a wife, but also children.

Ron waved his hand and said, "No, that man is not worthy of you, my good brother."

"I want to capture Anna Belle and make her my wife!"

Ron announced loudly.

Upton was curled up on the sofa, puffing away attentively on his cigar. Fu Qinghai was leaning back in his chair, smiling as he watched Ron talking nonsense.

Only Zhang Yuning just stared at Fu Qinghai's face quietly.

Fu Qinghai felt that he had drunk enough, so he asked Upton to send the drunk Ron out and find a hotel nearby for them to stay in. After making arrangements for the two of them, Fu Qinghai stood up from his chair and prepared to say goodbye to Zhang Yuning.

As a result, when he turned around, he saw Zhang Yuning's beautiful eyes staring at him.

The two looked at each other.

"Crunch...Bang."

The sound of the wooden door closing was heard, and Ron and Upton left the old house.

Facing Zhang Yuning's ambiguous gaze, Fu Qinghai suddenly thought and suggested,

"How about I stay here tonight?"

Zhang Yuning leaned her soft body against the dining table, her pointed chin resting on her palm, a smile on her lips, her eyes provocative, and she said softly:

"Do you dare?"

Fu Qinghai knew what she meant.

Zhang Yuning is a reincarnation from the Leviathan camp, while Fu Qinghai is a reincarnation from the Hydra camp.

When two camps kill each other, they will be rewarded with assimilation points.

Do you dare?

... Why not!

Fu Qinghai pushed the chair away, picked up Zhang Yuning, and walked up the wooden stairs to the bedroom on the second floor.

Zhang Yuning's slender, white legs naturally hooked around Fu Qinghai's strong waist.

Fu Qinghai threw the beauty on the big bed, and finally asked a question that ruined the mood:

"Can this wooden building support a Space Marine? Will it fall apart?"

Zhang Yuning whispered:

"I have already reinforced this house with the power of Kayako and Valak."

Fu Qinghai recalled that in the ancient castle in Biertan Village, he had to use his steel sword to chop the wooden door that was possessed by Valak's power several times before it was finally opened.

I feel relieved.

In the living room on the first floor, the firewood in the fireplace was still crackling.

Outside the dim and dark bedroom on the second floor, a tall, ugly ghost nun dressed in black and a Japanese woman with a dead mother face dressed in white stood stiffly outside the door. The two ghosts turned around, looked at each other, and turned back.

Tonight, no one can sleep.

Ghosts also cannot sleep.
