Chapter 29 Eddie Bullock

The reporter on TV was still the somewhat sloppy Eddie Brock.

He was holding a microphone and talking to the camera about the situation at the scene, until the police drove him away from the scene, his mouth still did not stop.

This case attracted Aunt Mei's attention, which made her even slow down the speed of chewing food——

The deceased was a middle-aged woman. When the NYPD arrived at the scene, they saw her with her hands tied together, hanging high in a dark dead end, naked, her lower body unsightly, torn to pieces by a knife, and killed by insulted.

Two playing cards, a Jack of Hearts and a Jack of Diamonds, are embedded upright in her eyes; and a Jack of Spades is cut into her throat.

The jack of spades cut off the woman's trachea, which was the direct cause of death.

"Oh, my God," Aunt May exclaimed, "Why are there so many strange things happening in New York recently!"

Silton feels that this modus operandi is very similar to Bullseye's style——

Blind eyes with throwing objects, that's what happened to the five Italians and the little bastard before.

Presumably, playing cards are not as hard as a dagger, nor as long as a dagger, so there is no way to enter directly from the eyes and pierce the brain, so another card is added to the throat.

However, Silton feels that it cannot be simply blamed on Bullseye, because there are two doubts——

First, Bullseye's current physical condition is very bad. His limbs have been cut off by himself with lasers, and he can no longer use his precise and powerful throwing skills.

Second, after several fights with Bullseye, Silton also has an understanding of Bullseye's character.Whether Bullseye is lascivious or not, Shilton doesn't know, but he must be a restrained person. When killing people, he is straightforward and will never do such things as indecent insults to women.

"I hope the new female Spider-Man in New York City can help the NYPD catch this person." Aunt May prayed softly.

Silton was still pondering whether this matter was caused by Bullseye and put aside first, his modus operandi was very strange, and it seemed to have some kind of symbolic meaning.

Jack in poker...

The patterns of J, Q, and K represent the knight (Jack), queen (Queen) and king (King) respectively. Does the three Js allude to knights, or are related to concepts such as guards and servants...

In addition to this guess, Silton has another guess.

Jenny's initials are J, could it be for Jenny...

Silton knows that the second guess is too subjective and idealistic. There are so many people in the world, and so many things happen every day, how could everything be related to what I think...

Aunt May switched the TV channel to the laughing "Bankrupt Girls" because the news report was too bloody and bizarre.

Silton and Aunt May watched the TV series for a while, cleaned the tableware, and returned to their room.

Silton didn't want to interfere with what was reported in the news just now, because he had a more important task - to wipe out the dying Bullseye and kill it completely.

As for how to do it, Silton will discuss it with Barney tomorrow.

The next day was the weekend. After washing up early in the morning, Silton said goodbye to Aunt Mei and said, "Go and play with my classmates", and then went out.

Silton remembered that the house Barney rented was in the Brooklyn district of New York City. The houses in that area were old and close to poor areas, and the security was not very good.

By the way, the Jack of Spades murder reported yesterday seems to have happened in Brooklyn...

Silton crossed the streets and alleys, from Queens to Brooklyn, the tall and neat buildings on both sides gradually disappeared, replaced by dilapidated old brick houses, and the streets became cramped and messy.

There are mostly African and Latin American people here, there are dry and thin addicts huddled in the corner, there are groups of young people staring at Silton, and there are curly-haired women leaning against the door frame with enchanting postures.

Although Silton possessed super powers, he still felt uncomfortable when passing through this area alone, so he involuntarily quickened his pace.

Coming to the block where Barney is located, when Silton passed a convenience store, he heard a man in the store say to the boss:
"A deck of cards, thank you."

"Two dollars."

Silton's heart moved, the tone of this voice was very familiar, and he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.

After buying playing cards, the man came out of the convenience store, turned into an alley full of sundries, and disappeared.

Silton shook his head, throwing away the idea of ​​secretly following him, now is not the time to meddle in other people's business, the first task is to discuss with Barney about Bullseye.

Barney's apartment is on the third floor. The walls in the corridor are mottled and peeling off, and the steps of the stairs are covered with thin white stripes, like "map outlines". Coupled with the strong smell of alcohol and urine, Silton It didn't take long to figure out what that was.

"Can't those drunks go home to pee?" Silton sneered, thinking that maybe it would smell better after entering Barney's apartment.

"Dong dong dong."

After knocking on the door, Barney and Silton were not too polite, and they entered the house.

Silton took a long breath. There was indeed no peculiar smell in the room, but why is it so cold...

"Uncle Barney, where's the glass in your window?"

"It was kicked to pieces by your bodyguard named Wood a week ago."

"..."

"Silton, what's the matter with you coming to me? If it's to pay for the glass, then there's no need, it's pretty cool, hahaha!"

Silton's face became serious, "Uncle Barney, Bullseye actually..."

Before he finished speaking, Silton heard footsteps behind him, and then, a playing card spun at high speed and flew towards Barney!

"Uncle Barney, be careful!"

Silton tried to block the cards with his arm, but the cards moved too fast and hit Barney's right eye!

Just as he was about to step forward to check on Barney's injuries, the card fell unsteadily, and Barney rubbed his eyes:

"Eddie, what are you doing? If you don't want to live with me, you can get out!"

A slightly familiar male voice came from behind and said, "Hey, Barney, I'm really sorry, I haven't mastered my strength and direction yet."

Silton looked back and saw that this man was holding a pack of cards in his right hand, and raised his hands to his ears in a gesture of surrender. He looked sorry, his face was unshaven, and he looked sloppy and down-to-earth—it was Eddie Brock.

Silton has seen this person in a movie in his previous life. His public identity is a reporter, and the hidden identity behind him is the anti-superhero "Venom", which is both good and evil. However, the time point for him to become Venom should not be reached yet. .

Silton has seen this man on TV in this life, Eddie Brock reporting on the murder of five Italians, the warehouse fire in the western suburbs, and last night's Jack of Spades.

How did he end up with Barney, and what happened to his poker?
