Marvel's Venom, starting with a Hydra undercover agent.

After coming into this world, Holm finally experienced firsthand how annoying James is, constantly criticizing this and that on TV.

I used to find it funny when I saw it in the movie, but I can't laugh at all in real life. I just find it noisy.

Even bystanders find it annoying, and it's hard to imagine what kind of miserable life Spider-Man Peter Parker, the person involved in countless universes, goes through every day.

Furthermore, in the movie, after Peter Parker was possessed and guided by the evil Venom, he only asked James for a raise instead of smashing his head open.

Thinking about this made Holm realize even more how incredibly kind Spider-Man was.

"Perhaps because Spider-Woman hasn't been around much these past few days, James has no one to attack," Daisy added, continuing Holm's earlier statement.

She knew James's style; after all, there was a large screen of the Daily Bugle not far away that started broadcasting at the same time every day, and the two of them had suffered quite a bit these past few days.

Hearing Daisy's words, Holm put down his binoculars, rubbed his eyes, and then said half-jokingly, "It seems that Dr. Lizard hasn't even caught a middle-aged man this month. If I were him, I would have caught James."

"He sprays his mouth on time every day with great energy, so you don't even need to check him to know he's in good health. He's a good candidate for experiments."

“You can’t think like that.” Daisy put down her binoculars as soon as Holm finished speaking, then turned to look at him seriously and said, “Although I also find him annoying, it would be too scary to be captured by Dr. Lizard.”

Seeing Daisy speaking so seriously, as if James would really be arrested because of his joke, Holm couldn't help but laugh and say, "It's just a joke."

"If Dr. Lizard could really listen to me, I'd like him to show up today, tie his own hands, and walk up to me so I can catch him. That way, I can save myself some trouble."

Hearing Holm's words, Daisy smiled and then encouraged them, saying, "We will definitely catch Dr. Lizard! He won't be able to kidnap anyone else this month."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her palm towards Holm, her eyes sparkling in the moonlight and filled with fighting spirit.

"Snapped!"

“Then I hope it will be as you wish,” Holm said, giving her a high five.

After giving a high five, Daisy picked up her binoculars again to observe, and Holm also began to keep an eye on his side for any unusual activity.

Time passed slowly, and another group of people emerged from the bar.

Holm slightly moved his head, his gaze about to sweep over there, but a familiar figure appearing in his peripheral vision made him turn his gaze back.

The familiar hoodie and outfit, along with her long, slightly wavy blonde hair and blue eyes.

The girl followed the group of people who had just left.

After exiting the bar, she looked left and right, then continued walking as if she had chosen one side.

After walking for a while, she looked up again and, finding that there seemed to be no one in front of her, turned back and continued walking in the other direction.

The person who just left the bar has already left, heading in the same direction as the girl now.

Judging from their current walking speed, the girl, whose gait appears to be normal, should catch up with the men and women who are walking unsteadily in no time.

"What a female alcoholic. Now she's not satisfied with buying alcohol at convenience stores anymore, she's gone to bars instead," Holm thought to himself as he looked at the girl.

"They clearly don't even look old enough to drink, yet this bar still serves them. What a shady business..."

Just as Holm's gaze was following the girl's movements, she suddenly stopped and looked up in Holm's direction with a suspicious expression.

She seemed to sense that someone was watching her, but she wasn't quite sure.

Although he knew that the distance was too great for the girl to notice, since it was a distance that only a specially designed intelligent telescope could reach.

But the feeling of eye contact still made Holm's heart race, and he quickly looked away.

Are girls' intuitions really that accurate? Holm found it utterly unbelievable and incomprehensible.

He knew that even ordinary people would have some sense of the gaze falling on them, but now the distance between them was unknown.

How could you sense something from such a distance? That seems a bit odd.

Take one more look, take one more look.

Thinking of this, Holm turned his gaze back to see if what had just happened was a coincidence.

He had barely caught a glimpse of the girl when a manhole cover not far from her suddenly shot into the sky.

A green lizard monster crawled out of the sewer and then skillfully unfolded an enormous sack.

The lizard monster first stuffed the three drunkards—two men and one woman—who were walking in front of the girl into a sack, and then continued running towards the girl behind her.

Seeing this, the girl also ran back two steps, but she was obviously not as fast as the lizard monster and was still grabbed and thrown into the sack.

After doing all that, the lizard monster hoisted the already bulging, oversized sack onto its shoulder and then headed back towards the sewer it had just crawled out of.

He seemed quite excited, as if he hadn't expected to complete the mission so soon after leaving.

Chapter 27, The Hidden Base in the Sewers

"A lizard monster has appeared at the manhole cover at the intersection of Fourth and Fifth Avenues!"

"He kidnapped two men and two women and is now preparing to return to the sewers!"

"I'll go track them down. You go and arrange for people to come over according to the plan. Remember to follow my location. Just in case, I'll leave traces along the way!"

Holm quickly gave Daisy the instructions while throwing the binoculars to the ground.

He then took out a folding device from his lower back and unfolded it into a paraglider.

"I'll get there with my men as soon as possible. Be careful." Daisy said, her face tense, as she looked at Holm, who was already standing by the building ready to leave.

"Don't worry, we just said we were going to catch that guy." Holm turned back to Daisy and smiled, then grabbed his paraglider and jumped off the roof.

At this moment, the lizard monster had reached the sewer entrance on the road.

The large sack containing four people was slung on his back, doubling in width and making it impossible for him to climb up and down as nimbly as before.

He scratched his bald, green head with his paws, thought for a moment, then put the large sack down in his hand before slowly climbing down himself.

Holm glided through the thick darkness of the night, and he was now very close to the spot.

He observed the lizard monster's somewhat clumsy movements, which made him wonder if the reagent that turned people into lizard monsters would also affect their intelligence.

"I'll be keeping a close watch on him from a distance for a while, and you'll have to keep an eye on him for me too."

"Your performance in this operation is directly linked to the chocolates we provide, so don't let us down."

Holm landed lightly on the ground, folding up his paraglider and putting it back on his back as he walked towards the sewers not far away. At the same time, he communicated with Venom in his mind, telling Venom to be on high alert and keep a close eye on the lizard monster to prevent them from losing track of it.

“Absolutely no problem. What happened last time was just an accident. Now it’s like a bright light bulb in my perception. We absolutely cannot lose it.” Venom assured Holm, patting his chest.

It knew that failing to detect the lizard monster in time last time, which caused Holm to suffer the pain of broken bones, would greatly affect Holm's evaluation of it. Therefore, it was prepared to perform well today and perfectly demonstrate its abilities.

To make his claims more credible, Venom also shared his senses with Holm, letting him experience firsthand what it meant to be a bright light bulb in the dark.

Holm felt a strange picture suddenly appear in his mind, like a map of a nearby area.

Within this strange painting, he could accurately sense the lizard monster that had been locked onto, even though the distance between them was vast, with several corners between them.

This strange feeling instantly convinced Holm, making him no longer doubt Venom's abilities.

This ability is practically tailor-made for secret agents, making it perfect for tracking.

For a typical agent to successfully track a target, they must ensure that the target does not disappear from their sight. Even for top-tier agents, this approach still carries the risk of exposure.

However, Venom's abilities are outside this scope. With this strange vision activated, Holm can even maintain a distance of several corners from his target, so even if the legendary director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the king of agents Nick Fury, came in person, he would definitely not be able to find any flaws.

Thus, Holm maintained a safe distance from the lizard monster, leaving behind some trails along the way to guide the way, in case his location failed and Daisy could lead people to find him by following the trails.

"The smell down here is really awful. How come that ugly guy has been walking for so long and still hasn't arrived?"

After following the lizard monster around and around, walking for a long time in the underground tunnels, Venom complained to Holm with some impatience.

"Where exactly did that Dr. Lizard set up his lair?"

Listening to Venom's complaints, Holm wrinkled his nose, which was almost suffocated by the stench, and then took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.

The smell in the sewers was awful, and it got worse the further we went with the lizard monster.

"Would you like a piece of chocolate too? It won't completely get rid of the taste, but at least it'll make you feel a little better," Holm asked Venom.

Upon hearing this, Venom was immediately caught in a dilemma, unsure whether or not to eat it.

It always felt that eating chocolate in such a place was a desecration of this delicious food, because the smell here would greatly diminish its rich and mellow flavor.

However, if you don't eat it, the taste here is indeed a bit disgusting.

After hesitating for a moment, Venom finally shook its head; it couldn't stand the chocolate's flavor becoming strange.

"I'll definitely teach that Dr. Lizard a lesson later, he's such an annoying guy!" Venom suddenly cursed angrily at the Dr. Lizard he hadn't even met yet.

It blamed all its unhappiness on Dr. Lizard, and if it weren't uninterested in the head of this strange monster, it would have definitely asked to have Dr. Lizard's head bitten off.

Holm and Venom followed the lizard monster deeper and deeper into this underground space.

At first, Holm could align the route they were taking with the underground network in his head, but after walking a long distance, they followed the lizard monster into an underground space that was not recorded in the official data.

Holm had anticipated this situation, as it was impossible to record every single detail in such a vast underground space.

Not to mention that some ill-intentioned people will expand and build illegally without reporting to the municipal system.

But after walking for a while, the stench gradually lessened until it disappeared completely. The surrounding environment was also no longer so dirty, looking much cleaner, and even the small animals that liked to live in the sewers were rarely seen anymore.

Seeing this, Holm knew that the secret base must be approaching.

Since the purpose is to conduct genetic research and experiments, the environment of this secret base certainly cannot be the same as that in the sewers.

After a period of tracking and enduring the filthy and foul-smelling environment, they finally followed the lizard monster close to Dr. Lizard's lair.

To avoid alerting the lizard monster he was tracking, Holm also stopped at the corner.

In his shared perception with Venom, in addition to the lizard monster they had just been tracking, two more lizard monsters appeared in their perception at this moment.

Chapter 28, The Lizardmen's Evil Plan

"Vigg? Why are you back so soon? Did you catch the person I asked you to arrest?"

A lizardman wearing glasses and not particularly strong looked at the lizardman named Vig who had returned to the base with some suspicion and asked him a question.

The lizardman standing next to him, even more muscular than Vig, noticed the large sack behind Vig and asked with some surprise, "You're usually the last one, how come you're moving so fast today? There seem to be quite a few people in that sack behind you."

After the burly lizardman finished speaking, Vig seemed to remember that he was carrying people on his back. He quickly took off the large sack he was carrying and released the two men and two women inside.

“Eisen…Neil…my men…enough…”

Vig pointed with his paw at the two men and two women who were lying on the ground in terror, then, with a stiff neck, he managed to utter a few words to express his meaning.

Seeing Vig's smug look, Eisen, with glasses around his neck, and Neil, with his muscular build, exchanged a glance, their grins revealing disdain and mockery towards Vig.
