The Suffocating Su Yao

The sun shone brightly as a black figure slowly approached against the sunlight.

Hearing the sudden footsteps, everyone, including Eddie, turned to look.

The newcomer wore a black hooded outfit that concealed most of his face, exuding an air of mystery.

"Friend, it's dangerous here. Don't come any closer," Tris warned in a low voice.

However, his warning had no effect. The newcomer continued approaching as if nothing had happened.

Tris and the others immediately became wary, their guns subtly trained on him, as though they would open fire if he took another step closer.

While they remained on guard, Venom, who symbiotically inhabited Eddie, seemed to sense something and revealed a startled expression.

"This guy..."

"He wasn't captured?"

Eddie heard Venom's voice and instinctively asked, "You know him?"

The moment Eddie spoke, he drew the attention of many people.

Seeing countless gazes turn toward him, Eddie awkwardly said, "Didn't I tell you... well, you know!"

At that moment, Venom spoke again, clearing up Eddie's confusion.

"I sensed the other half of my body that I abandoned. It's inside that person!"

He then quickly explained the sequence of events, allowing Eddie to understand everything.

Seeing that Eddie understood, Venom took control of Eddie's body and spoke under the watchful eyes of Drake, Tris, and the others. "What are you doing here? Did you come to mock me?"

"Let me see what kind of host you chose..."

As he spoke, "Eddie" looked the mysterious newcomer up and down. Seeing nothing remarkable, he said dismissively, "He doesn't seem like much. He looks very ordinary."

While Drake and the others were bewildered and had no idea what they were talking about, the mysterious man in the distance stopped in an area where the sonic waves had less effect.

Suddenly, black liquid emerged from the newcomer's right arm, forming a small Venom head.

"My foolish other half, you'll regret abandoning me earlier and making me draw the enemy away!"

"And he's far from ordinary!"

Su Yao's Venom's hoarse, deep voice echoed out.

"Eddie" froze briefly, then smiled and said smugly, "Really? I can't see what's so special about him."

"The host I chose is the perfect host. There's no better body than this!"

Influenced by those words, Venom within Eddie, who was naturally unwilling to admit defeat, sounded equally smug. He was very satisfied with Eddie as a host and genuinely believed no one could be more perfect.

He thought that this other half was just boasting. In such a short time, could he really find a body comparable to Eddie's?

As they talked, Drake and the others, who had gleaned a great deal of information from their words, were both shocked and delighted.

Life Foundation.

Drake hurriedly bent toward the communicator, his delighted voice reaching Tris.

"Tris, hurry! Capture this symbiote host too!"

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Who would have thought they would unexpectedly capture another symbiote host? As for whether they could catch him, he was not worried in the slightest.

Before they had Sonic Weapons, he might have hesitated. But now, he had no concerns at all. He even felt that this symbiote host who had come running over was truly foolish.

Did he think having a symbiote made him invincible? This man deserved a lesson! Drake's smile widened, as though he could already see himself becoming a perfect life-form after capturing the two test subjects and conducting a series of experiments! Under the gazes of everyone at the Life Foundation, Tris and the others, having received their orders, sprang into action.

Buzz, buzz~

The next second, the man in the distance holding the sonic device rushed over.

Pain appeared on Eddie's face, and Su Yao was also engulfed by the special sonic waves.

The Venom on his hand revealed a pained expression and instinctively withdrew into Su Yao's right hand.

Seeing that this Venom was also affected by the sonic waves, Tris, Drake, and the others watching all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Raise your hands. You need to come with us!"

Tris aimed the black pistol in his hand at Su Yao.

Just as he thought victory was assured, and as Eddie sympathized with him in shared misery, something unexpected happened! The mysterious man, whom they believed incapable of resisting, suddenly emitted blue light from his hand!

The next second, a blue high-energy beam appeared and, at tremendous speed, instantly pierced the guard approaching with the sonic device.

The sonic device in his hand was annihilated by the energy in an instant, and his chest was pierced as well.

"Ah..."

With a scream, the man immediately collapsed to the ground.

What was that?! Everyone present revealed shocked expressions.

Eddie's mouth fell open.

Venom inside him was stunned.

Venom inside Su Yao was also dumbfounded.

The smiles vanished from the faces of Drake and the others at the Life Foundation.

Tris and the other guards stared in horror, almost doubting what they had just seen.

Lasers from his hand? Sensing danger, Tris instinctively pulled the trigger of his black pistol.

With a bang, a silver bullet spun through the air and shot rapidly toward its target.

The sudden gunshot startled everyone.

When they saw what the bullet was aimed at, they were even more shocked.

The bullet had actually been blocked by two fingers!

A series of cracking sounds rang out, like a mirror shattering. Space itself seemed to fracture like glass.

In slow motion, they could even see the silver bullet twist and deform under the tremendous impact, while shattered fragments of space carved deep marks into it.

In an instant, a sharp whoosh split the air as the bullet flew back.

"Ah, my hand!"

Tris let out a scream.

The twisted, deformed silver bullet blew apart his pistol, pierced through his palm, and lodged in his elbow.

Clutching his bleeding hand, Tris's face was filled with terror.

The others wore much the same expression, their faces full of horror.

Looking at the black-cloaked figure standing in the distance, they felt nothing but deep suffocation at that moment.

In only a few moments, both the blue beam and his casual gesture of raising a hand to reflect a bullet had placed immense pressure on them! It was as if they were merely a group of ants, while he was a god standing high above them! "Who are you?"

Enduring the pain, Tris said, "This isn't a symbiote's ability. You..."

That question was not his alone. Everyone else had the same question.

Eddie, possessed by a symbiote, was already powerful enough, but compared to this person, he was nothing! They even suspected that this person could easily kill Eddie! There's another chapter, but it'll be very late. Read it in the morning instead—don't wait up.
