"Rather, we're about to be in trouble." Luke gave a reply that surprised Tony Stark.
"What do you mean? How did we get into trouble?" Tony blinked, unable to keep up with Luke's thoughts.
"Why do you think these agents were attacked?" Luke asked.
"You mean those mysterious bones?" Tony immediately grasped the point Luke wanted to make.
"Yeah, I think this is the most likely possibility. Although I don't know what the situation is inside, it's definitely not just the death of some agents that can make Nick so angry." Luke gave his own analysis.
"He lost something very important to him. Those mysterious bones." Tony realized something, and his gaze subconsciously flicked to the mysterious bones resting on the lab's instruments. "So, do you think they might have obtained some intelligence from SHIELD, or have some method to locate these bones?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Luke confirmed Tony's guess.
"That is to say, if our guess is correct, it won't be long before we are attacked here too?" Tony thought of this and immediately became restless. "I need my Iron Man suit."
Not to mention that Tony called out to Jarvis and controlled his Iron Man suit to fly over, Luke asked White Queen to arrange security for the researchers and company executives.
Call the police?
Luke had no such intentions this time. If the enemy was indeed the one he suspected, calling the police would only increase casualties and cause more trouble. The true defense force would still depend on Heberon's security personnel.
Luke walked towards the symbiote's laboratory. Tony, who had obtained access to the laboratory for his Mark suit, rolled his eyes and followed curiously.
"An enemy?" Venom was excited. He had heard the lab's security measures being activated. He darted back and forth in his jar, looking like a puddle of black mud.
"Yeah, there might be some intruders." Luke opened the jars of Little Hab and Mister and let the two little guys out.
"Let me do it, let me do it! I'll bite off their heads one by one!" Venom rushed even harder. Luke controlled the jar to open a crack. Venom couldn't wait to turn himself into a ball of liquid and slide out through the crack. "I haven't eaten brains in a long time. I miss the taste."
"Oh my god, what is this?" Tony, who followed in, saw the talking black liquid in the symbiote laboratory, his eyes full of curiosity. "Is this a product of some kind of biotechnology? It has intelligence? How did you give it life and intelligence?"
"No, it's an alien creature. I got it from somewhere else for research." Luke denied Tony's guess and told the truth.
"Alien creatures?" Tony's eyes were filled with even more curiosity. Most people like him had similar tendencies. When they saw this kind of alien creatures, it was hard not to want to study them and see how they were different from the creatures on their own planet.
"This guy's head is delicious! I have a strong feeling it's delicious. Can I eat his brain?" Venom stopped halfway through his exposed body, and the liquid outlined a large face in mid-air. It stared directly at Tony, and a black liquid like saliva flowed from the corner of its mouth. He could smell the sweet aroma of food from Stark, and the other man's brain exuded an intoxicating flavor.
"Eating brains? What kind of magical hobby is this? Do you know how precious my brain is? It is a treasure of mankind! You actually want to eat it? This is blasphemy!" Tony calculated the time when his iron suit would arrive in his mind and said sarcastically to Venom.
"What's the difference? They're all just food. Of course, I have experience eating a full meal and then having a full stomach. I really can't swallow a delicious brain like yours in one go. That would be too ungraceful." Venom retorted to Tony, "But I can taste your emotions first. It's an appetizer before the main meal."
"You are just a low-level creature dominated by appetite. Don't you have any higher-level pursuits?" Tony waved his arms and looked at Venom with the pity he would give to an idiot. He had never been afraid of, nor had he ever lost, when it came to venom.
"I like to be free." Venom said.
"So you're being held captive in Luke's lab now," Tony scoffed.
"I can leave anytime I want! Don't think I'm stupid! I have a whole set of rich experience in jailbreaking! Just give me a chance." Venom opened his mouth wide, and black specks of liquid sprayed out like saliva as he roared.
"So you admit that you are imprisoned?" Tony grasped the key point.
"Luke and I have a cooperative relationship! A cooperative relationship! Do you understand?" Venom was a little exasperated.
"A partnership of imprisonment. I understand. Maybe Luke doesn't want to hurt your feelings, but I don't mind telling you the cruel truth. The way you are treated is the same as that of a prisoner." Tony spread his hands.
"You don't understand! Luke has a lot of delicious food here." Venom stretched forward in excitement and lost control of his body. His whole body fell to the ground from the table where the glass jar was placed, like a puddle of black mud. Then he didn't care at all. His head popped out of the liquid again, and he used the special voice-making instrument Luke gave him to refute his statement.
"It seems that I don't have much common topics with an alien foodie. I actually have a lot of questions I want to ask." Tony temporarily lost interest in communicating with Venom.
"Work hard, I'll give you a snack when you're done." Luke's words immediately attracted Venom's attention. He didn't bother arguing with Tony anymore. He stretched his head high, supported by a pile of black liquid that looked like silk threads. The whole appearance looked particularly terrifying, but at this moment Venom was seriously making his request to Luke: "I want to eat some soul crystals, not powder! If you can let me choose the flavor, that would be even better."
"It depends on your performance," Luke gave an ambiguous answer. But Venom, having heard this, was completely energized. He leaped onto the ground like a slime with accelerator on, leaping with astonishing bounce, and pounced directly at Tony.
"Smart guy, let me borrow your body for a moment!"
As Tony screamed and dodged, Venom laughed and performed an inhumane face-hug fusion on Tony.
