You can do that too?"
Qinuo was somewhat astonished. Does Venom have such an ability?
"I don't know either. I haven't tried it, but I feel like I can."
Venom hesitated a bit. It also didn't know if it could succeed, but its instinct told it that it could.
"Let me think."
Qinuo fell into thought. He certainly wanted the ability of the healing factor. Not only could he heal quickly, but it could even slow down aging.
Moreover, if he were to save Stark, although there was a certain risk, the benefits were also great. If he really encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, he could run to the DC World.
"Let's do it. If I go, I go. The worst that can happen is I run to another World."
Logan asked, "Kid, where are you going? Do you need any help?"
He had been talking to himself, his expression changing, and he had even asked for a map.
Wade was already drunk. How could he not be drunk after a drinking contest with Logan, who has a healing factor?
Qinuo shook his head. "No need, Logan. I can handle it myself. You also have your own things to do."
"Hmm, call me if you need anything," Logan said quietly.
Qinuo stood up and patted Logan's shoulder.
"Don't worry! I won't waste your favor. You guys keep drinking; I'm leaving first."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Logan scratched his shoulder with his fingers; it felt a little itchy.
Outside the bar, Qinuo looked at the black substance in the center of his palm.
"Venom, did it succeed?"
"Definitely."
"How long will it take to complete?"
"About a few hours."
This way, he would have an extra layer of protection in this World.
Qinuo got into the luxury car and let out a long sigh.
"Sure enough, I'm still not used to bars full of alcohol and cigarettes."
"Yes, Young Master, you should not come to such places in the future."
"Hmm, Kassel, can I trust you?"
Qinuo looked at the driving butler with an inexplicable gaze. He had been in this World for a week, and Kassel had taken good care of him.
It was as if they had known each other for a long time; Kassel even knew his favorite foods.
"Of course, Young Master, I swear by my wife and children."
Kassel did not turn his head but met Qinuo's gaze through the rearview mirror.
"Venom, come out and say hello to our butler."
"Hello there, Butler Kassel."
Venom extended its terrifying head from Qinuo's shoulder, revealing sharp fangs and a long tongue.
"Hello, Mr. Venom..."
Kassel didn't panic, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Venom was a bit strange; it could feel that the human in front of it had no fear whatsoever.
"Not at all, Mr. Venom. Please sit still; I'm driving."
Kassel drove without looking away.
"You're making me lose face, you know."
"So, do you need me to be scared and crash the car into a wall?"
"You could..."
"Behave yourself. This car is very expensive."
Qinuo held Venom's head in his arms and stuffed a handful of chocolates into its mouth to quiet it down.
Qinuo asked, "Kassel, what did you do before?"
"I was a soldier in the U.S. Marine Corps, with the rank of Captain. After retiring, I served as an instructor for a period, and then I came to be your family's butler, Young Master."
Kassel did not hide anything.
"With your qualifications, why would you choose to be a butler instead of something else?"
Qinuo was a bit puzzled. With such qualifications, earning a million a year as a bodyguard for a rich person wouldn't be a dream.
"Because the Master saved my wife and children. In exchange, I became the Young Master's butler," Kassel said with a smile.
Marine Corps, Captain, with a wife and children—such a familiar setup.
"Idiot, it's Punisher!"
Venom's voice echoed in his mind, and Qinuo's eyes widened. He needed to confirm.
"Kassel, what's your full name?"
"Frank Kassel."
It really was him, Punisher, the pinnacle of human solo combatants.
"Frank, how long have you been a butler?"
"Five months and six days."
Frank gave a very precise time.
"How did my parents die?"
"The Master and Madam suddenly died of sudden death after drinking," Frank said, his expression unchanged.
"But the wine cellar in the manor is empty."
At this, Frank was speechless.
Qinuo didn't press further. He thought of his own abilities. Although he could only travel to DC for now,
what if he could travel through time in the future? After all, this World was like a sieve; anyone with a bit of ability could toy with time.
And the time Frank just gave should be the time of their first meeting. He would remember it.
"Chomp, chomp—"
"Hey..."
And those parents, who suddenly died the day before I transmigrated. Although I'd seen their photos, their bodies were already in coffins.
"Chomp, chomp—"
"Are you listening to me..."
If my father is my future self, then who is my mother? Can I bring other people through? Then who is the other person...
"Are you done or not?! Is my head a rubber ball that you keep rubbing?! Ah, ooh..."
Venom exploded, biting directly onto Qinuo's scalp.
"Ouch!"
Qinuo felt like his skull was about to burst. All his previous thoughts vanished, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.
"I'm, I'm sorry. You know me; when I think, I can't help but fiddle with something in my hands."
"Mmm... Who cares about you? I called you, and you ignored me. You did it on purpose."
"Ah, ah, ah, stop biting! It's bleeding!"
Frank looked into the rearview mirror, his eyes full of amusement. Although their appearances were different, this way of interacting was just them.
Upon arriving at the manor,
Qinuo got out of the car, his face covered in blood.
"Venom, you healed my wound, but you couldn't clean up the blood?"
"Keep it as a reminder."
"Alright."
It was late.
Qinuo ran to the bathroom and started washing up.
"Venom, my back is a bit itchy. Can you scrub it for me?"
"Seriously, am I your nanny?"
Although it said that, it still extended several black tentacles to scrub him.
"Hehe."
After showering, Qinuo, dressed in loose pajamas, lay tiredly on the soft bed.
"Venom, do I need to do anything for the healing factor to integrate?"
"No need. Just sleep, it's safe and painless," Venom's head extended from his chest and said.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Venom," Qinuo said, closing his eyes.
In a moment, Qinuo fell into a deep sleep, his breathing becoming steady and profound.
"He's really asleep. Does he trust me that much?"
Venom thought silently. It was parasitic in Qinuo's body and could clearly feel his physical condition. Qinuo had indeed fallen asleep, and he was sleeping soundly.
Venom recalled Qinuo's memories. Qinuo had always been a highly vigilant person, especially after coming to this World, often waking up suddenly in the middle of the night.
But at this moment, he had so easily let down his guard, completely trusting itself.
Venom couldn't help but find it a little amusing.
"What a strange human. Just a few movies can make him relax his guard so much."
However, for Venom, this was not a bad thing. It liked the feeling of being trusted, even if the other party was only doing so for some inexplicable reason.
"Evil and foolish Qinuo."
Venom whispered, then retracted back into Qinuo's body and began the work of integrating the healing factor.
As time passed, Qinuo's body gradually changed. His cells began to absorb and integrate the healing factor, granting him stronger vitality and regenerative abilities.
