Man in Marvel, Host of Venom

Chapter 99, The Cause of Variation
Soon Chen Lin'an came to the place agreed with Peter, which was still on the top of the building where the bat statue named Bruce was.

The stone fence next to Bruce obviously looks like it has just been repaired, because the last time Chen Linan rested here, he was attacked by Thriller and Scorpion, causing the fence to be broken into pieces.

Fortunately, their attack did not miss at that time, otherwise Peter's good friend Bruce might have been blasted to pieces.

After Chen Lin'an came here, he was still sitting on the fence watching the news, waiting for Peter's arrival.

Peter has been troubled by the threat of mutation now, so it must not come as fast as him. He should have to wait for a while.

James' annoying old face was still on the big screen, and he was still reporting news about Venom as usual.

The bodies of Tombstone and others have been found and handed over to the police. The police department also officially held a press conference on this matter.

Because the people who died were either fugitives or criminals with previous convictions, the enthusiasm of the media was also very high, and they all wanted to dig out some information.

And James is obviously the best in this group of media. Through some clues and nearby people, they witnessed evidence that Venom was here at that time, and they immediately locked the murderer on Venom.

"The serial murderer, Venom, is still so rampant." The beard on James' lips trembled slightly, and he said to the person in front of the screen seriously and affirmatively.

"According to our reporter's exclusive news investigation, the death conditions of those criminals were extremely miserable. One of them had his head cut off, and the head disappeared and has never been found."

"One's chest was crushed, and even the bones were broken into pieces. After investigation, the only intact body was confirmed to have been poisoned by a highly toxic substance. The death condition was also extremely miserable."

"Such a brutal murderer is considered by some as a hero for maintaining social order. I can't help but worry about the future of our city."

After James finished speaking worriedly, he continued to express his opinion: "Many people may think that these deceased are criminals themselves, so they don't deserve pity."

"But the way our society operates is that bad guys have to be tried by the relevant government agencies."

"It's hard to imagine what our city would look like if everyone abused lynchings like Venom did."

"."

Chen Lin'an was lying on the fence basking in the sun. He was completely immune to James' rhetoric. At the beginning, he would still feel very uncomfortable and his mood would be affected by his news, but now after hearing it more, he I have no feelings anymore.

There is indeed nothing wrong with James' words in some aspects, and everyone has their own ideas. Chen Lin'an also understood this.

However, in his view, since those criminals challenged the legal order and did not receive the punishment they deserved, then the order is flawed and imperfect.

That's why people like him and Peter exist, and since order doesn't keep people protected from harm, they fill in the gap.

"Why is this old man like this! I knew that I should have thrown him in that factory and let him explode with that six-armed guy."

Chen Lin'an has become numb to James during this time, but the newly awakened venom is not like this. It angrily scolded the guy who didn't know how to be grateful.

Even the idea was the same as Chen Lin'an before, thinking that maybe he should not be rescued from the factory together.

After the venom crazily output to James for a while, Peter finally came to the roof of this building.

Looking at Chen Lin'an lying on the fence, Peter also touched his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, without the spider ability, I can't rush as before. I can only come here by car. There was a traffic jam just now."

Peter didn't wear Spider-Man's suit today, nor did he do any disguise, he just carried a handbag.

You can see that there are many bottles and cans in the handbag, as well as some paper reports

"It's okay, I just came here not long ago." Chen Lin'an sat up and said to Peter who was still panting.

Peter didn't say anything after hearing this. He just walked to the fence and touched Bruce, and then handed the information in his hand to Chen Lin'an.

"Inside here are some of my blood and other cell samples, as well as my research reports and reports of various tests."

Chen Lin'an reached out and took the information and looked through it. Peter continued: "I can only know that my mutation will continue, and it will be in a bad direction, just like the spider monster I mentioned before."

"But I have no way to stabilize my mutation or make myself eliminate the mutation and become an ordinary person."

Speaking of this, Peter couldn't help feeling a little irritable and frustrated. He covered his face and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to become a monster. It doesn't matter if I lose my super powers, and it doesn't matter if I become an ordinary person."

"Since I became Spider-Man, I have been fighting for the tranquility and evil of this city. I don't want to become a monster myself, destroying the tranquility and hurting others."

Chen Lin'an was also very touched when he heard the words. He understood Peter's sadness and helplessness very well. If this matter could really be resolved, he didn't want to watch Peter turn into a monster, and then deal with him mercilessly for the sake of the city's peace.

After looking at the information in his hand, Chen Lin'an also thought about what he had just said to Venom on the road: "Have you been exposed to anything that might cause you to mutate before you mutated?"

Hearing Chen Lin'an's question, Peter raised his head and thought, "What caused my mutation?"

"Yes, because I have also thought about the reason for your mutation before." Chen Lin'an nodded and continued.

"You have to know that it has been several years since you became Spider-Man. There is nothing abnormal in the past few years, so why did you suddenly start to mutate?"

"Your genes should either stop being able to stop when you start mutating and just turn into a monster, or they should be in a stable state after mutating like you did before."

"So your sudden mutation should be because you encountered something that caused you to mutate. Do you have any clues or memories about this?"

Chen Lin'an's analysis made Peter fall into deep thought. He had never thought about the reason for this.

Sure enough, it was right to find Venom to help him solve the mutation problem. Now that he is completely trapped in his own thinking logic, he needs some new angles different from his.

"I remember when we were dealing with the lizard man before, you fell into the water with him." Chen Lin'an suddenly thought of the new genetic recombination device he used when he was dealing with the lizard man.

"At that time, there was a very bright light in the water, and by the time it came up, the lizard man had turned back into Dr. Connors."

"So is your mutation related to the new genetic recombination device?"

Hearing Chen Lin'an's words, Peter also fell into deep thought, and had to say that this was very possible.

After pondering for a moment, Peter shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that either. I can't rule out that he has some influence on my genes."

"However, according to previous research, the gene should be injected first and then recombined with the new gene to be effective."

After saying this, Peter suddenly paused. He suddenly thought about the mutated spider gene in his body. Was this equivalent to the fact that he had injected the animal's gene?

"Damn it, it seems really possible! The source of my spider ability is that a mutated spider bit me." Thinking of this, Peter became a little excited.

Hearing Peter's words, Chen Lin'an also continued: "If it's because of the new gene recombination device, then we can try to use the same device to reverse."

"After all, lizard people can turn back into humans, so there's no reason why you can't."

Peter also nodded solemnly, and he finally found some hope of breaking the situation.

But soon Chen Lin'an remembered another thing, and continued to say with a somewhat ugly expression: "No, if it's only because of the new genetic recombination device, then why did your spider ability start to disappear recently."

"Think about it carefully, is there any other abnormal situation?"

Hearing Chen Lin'an's words, Peter's heart tensed up after he let go a little bit. He frowned and thought carefully about what happened when he first felt the spider's ability disappear.

After thinking for a while, Peter also widened his eyes as if remembering something and said, "I remembered!"

"It was a few days before my spider powers started to fade, and I was flying around and saw a lab fire, so I went in there to save people."

"After I finally rescued everyone, I checked carefully to see if anyone was still trapped inside. At that time, a burned-out machine suddenly started up, and I was also illuminated by a burst of energy from it."

"Because nothing happened at that time, and the incident itself was very inconspicuous, so I didn't pay attention to it afterwards."

"Now that I think about it, it's very likely that the energy beam affected my body and induced subsequent mutations." After thinking about this incident, Peter's thoughts became more and more smooth.

The more he recalled, the more he felt that this was the reason, but it was a pity that he didn't pay attention to that machine at the time, and didn't know what kind of ray that energy beam was.

Hearing Peter's memories, Chen Lin'an also said seriously: "It seems that your mutation is complicated. I think it may be the joint effect of the new genetic recombination device and that strange energy beam."

"Do you still remember where the address of that laboratory is? I'll go check out the situation later. At least I need to know what that energy beam is."

Peter's current condition is not suitable for running around anymore, so he can go to that place to have a look later to find out what the energy ray is.

Peter also knew what Chen Lin'an meant, so after thinking about it for a while, he told him the location of the laboratory.
