Chapter 86 Mud and Rotten People (Part 1)
"I'm a doctor, not God."
Strange stood at the door of the operating room with his hands on his hips and said, "And I'm a psychiatrist. I can't cure all diseases. You can't let me treat any patient!"
"So how is Dr. Connors?"
"I don't know. You have to ask the examination instruments. I can't fully understand the data."
Then Strange saw Schiller, Stark and Peter looking at him with a look of looking at a poor student. He completely exploded and said loudly: "What do you think doctors are? Wishing machines? You send patients with any diseases to me and expect me to cure them instantly. If I can't cure them, do you still want to belittle my professional level?"
Schiller said: "Well, even if you can't cure him, you have to introduce us to someone who can cure him, right?"
Strange rolled his eyes and said: "Judging from his current condition, you might as well pray to God."
"I hope you can save him. I can pay a lot of money for it." Stark said.
"You only talk about money. I know you are a rich man, but not everything in this world can be solved with money. You sent a half-dead corpse here. What can I do?"
"Listen, you'd better do it quickly..."
Stark took a step forward and pointed his finger at Strange's shoulder. His tone was very aggressive. Strange was also very unhappy. He pushed Stark away and said, "Ha, who do you expect is a lackey of you rich people?"
When he said this, he glanced at Schiller. Schiller didn't do anything. Stark exploded first. He raised his fist and punched Strange. Peter rushed up to stop him.
"Hey, calm down, Mr. Stark! Calm down!"
Strange was beaten and bent over. He touched his nose. A little blood stuck to his hand. He cursed in a low voice. Schiller pressed his shoulder directly and dragged him away.
Strange didn't want to leave, but Schiller was too powerful. He was dragged out of the corridor by Schiller. As soon as he turned the corner, Strange shouted, "What are you doing? Do you think I can't beat that damn arms dealer?!"
"Don't you find that his mood is a little abnormal? Are you going to fight with a madman here?"
Strange held his breath and sat on a chair next to the hospital corridor, saying, "I really don't understand why you are bothering an ordinary person. You either have money or know those weird little tricks. Why do you appear in my life?"
Schiller opened his mouth, but still didn't say that. He couldn't tell Strange that there was someone staring at your arm with bright eyes, right?
On the other side, Peter was trying to appease Stark. He felt that Stark was a little too irritable. He was not like this before.
Although Stark was occasionally hypocritical and venomous, his temper was still okay. He didn't explode at a little bit. Most of the time, he could communicate calmly, but now Stark didn't know why he looked very irritable.
Peter grabbed one of Stark's arms and tried to turn him around. Stark grinned and swung his arm fiercely, and Peter was pushed away.
Peter stared at Stark's arm in surprise. Even if he didn't use any strength, he was much stronger than ordinary people. Iron Man without a mecha should be just an ordinary person. How could he push away Spider-Man who already had the power of spider mutation?
Peter was a little confused, but he felt that Stark was very wrong.
He took a few steps back and saw Schiller waving at him at the corner. Peter looked back at Stark again, but finally turned around and ran over.
Stark stood there and shook his head violently, and from time to time he swayed back and forth, as if talking to the air.
After Peter ran over, he asked Schiller: "What's wrong? Is Mr. Stark sick?"
"This proves a point." Schiller said: "Alcohol turns people into a pile of mud."
After leaving the hospital, Stark didn't even call the mecha. He gritted his teeth and whispered: "Damn it! You can't do that! Peter is just a child!"
"Let me eat his head, it will be very delicious, you will love that feeling..." A low and hoarse voice came from the air.
Stark said: "Listen, you piece of mud, if you dare to control my body again, I will let Jarvis beat you into flour with a 500-decibel sonic cannon!"
And this matter started a few days ago.
Since Obadiah has been in a coma, the weapons manufacturing department of Stark Industries has been almost stagnant. Even if Stark doesn't know much about these business matters, he finds that his uncle Obadiah is actually the backbone of Stark Industries to where it is today.
Without Obadiah, a lot of troubles followed.
Originally, Obadiah was adept at dealing with the military, Congress, and other arms dealers. He would not let anyone take advantage of him, not even the military.
But now that Obadiah was gone, Pepper was still able to handle some business matters, but was not so sensitive to political games, and Stark knew nothing about it.
He suddenly realized that he had been in a vacuum environment in the past. He only needed to stay in the laboratory and work on his inventions every day. The waves of the treacherous struggle could not affect him at all.

But now without Obadiah, Stark has to face it all by himself.
Stark does have a genius brain, but his brain does not turn in that direction at all. The military puts all kinds of pressure on him, and Stark can't take many measures.
He can't figure out the complicated relationship between the various forces for a while. Even if his intelligence allows him to learn these sooner or later, he will still be in a mess at the beginning.
The military has set its sights on this opportunity. They acted decisively and used the war of public opinion to put the Stark Group in a situation where they were attacked from all sides.
Stark was under great pressure. This was completely different from the feeling of not being able to do experiments or inventions going smoothly. He couldn't even find an outlet to vent, so he could only do his old job, smoking and drinking.
All kinds of extreme emotions piled up in his mind, and this strong emotion just caught the attention of a homeless alien,
Symbiote Venom - a special symbiote that was the first to break away from the symbiote mother, a genius child among symbiotes.
As we all know, this race will be attracted by all kinds of intense emotions of humans. Originally, Venom was attached to an ordinary reporter who had just divorced, but when this reporter interviewed Stark, Venom found that the emotions of the person in front of him and the charming fragrance emanating from his brain made Venom simply irresistible.
So, this daring symbiote took the opportunity of the reporter putting the microphone to Stark's face, instantly separated from the original host, and then ran to Stark.
At first, Stark didn't find any clues. Venom is an experienced symbiote. When he first parasitized on the host, he would be silent for a period of time to avoid causing the host to resist too strongly.
But soon, Stark began to feel something was wrong. He was not an ordinary person. He had a brain cursed by knowledge. He keenly felt that his intense negative emotions were being guided out, which made him more crazy and began to numb himself with alcohol to ensure that those emotions would not burst out and hurt others.
Jarvis also used some data to implicitly remind his master that his mental state and personality were beginning to waver, which meant that Stark must have fallen into a strange induced state.
This state did not last too long.
At that time, the Lizard Man broke into the Stark Building, and Jarvis had to use emergency awakening measures to wake up Stark, who had been hungover all night, but in fact, Stark was not awakened by Jarvis, but by the symbiote Venom in his body that screamed because of the huge sound waves.
Stark then discovered that his feeling of being controlled actually came from a mysterious alien creature that parasitized his body.
The sound waves played by Jarvis made Venom run wildly in Stark's body, and Stark discovered the true face of this alien creature-a pile of black mud.
Then he found that this alien creature had intelligence no less than that of humans. Not only could it communicate with him, but it also claimed to have all his personality and memories.
Indeed, Venom said so. He said so to every host, because this can well reduce their vigilance. He will repeatedly emphasize to the host that the symbiote and they are of the same mind.
In fact, to a certain extent, what he said is true. Although this race does not look good and looks slimy, in the comics, they are not an evil race. They are a natural blank sheet of paper when they are produced.
They are more like "inert races" and cannot devour and erase the personality of the host very forcefully. Instead, they take a more gentle way to parasitize them. The host and the symbiote are more like partners, rather than a relationship of control and being controlled.
The army of symbiotes scattered in the universe also parasitizes many races. They help these aliens gain stronger physical strength, but most of them choose highly intelligent races.
This is because they need the host's independent personality to provide them with emotional energy, which is the basis for their survival, rather than directly turning various intelligent creatures into zombies without thinking ability like some evil parasitic races. Symbiotes cannot do this. If their hosts cannot think, they will have no food to eat.
Venom also knows this. If it cannot gain the trust of the host, it can only wander around and starve every day.
In his view, Stark is simply a perfect meal ticket. Stark, who is in a low period, has a lot of mood changes every day, and Venom can get a lot of energy every day.
But soon, Venom found that he still thought too simply about finding a meal ticket.
