He turned around, drew his gun, aimed, and fired!
Smooth as flowing water, all in one go!
Although Sloan was getting on in years, his skills were still quite good, even better than most of the Fraternity's assassins.
In that split second, he even managed to think tactically and aimed for Venom Russell's left eye.
Eyes, for most creatures, are a vital point.
Attacking the target's eyes, even if not the most correct choice, is definitely one of the wise ones.
Not to mention, in his Venom form, Russell had a pair of eyes even bigger than a normal person's fist.
On his black head, those large, white eyes were no different from a bullseye.
Facing the bullet flying towards him at high speed, Russell didn't dodge, as if he didn't have time to react at all. He stood still and let the bullet hit his left eye.
He succeeded!
Seeing the bullet accurately hit Russell's left eye, a hint of smugness flashed in Sloan's heart.
However, the next second, he couldn't be happy at all.
The bullet that hit Venom Russell's left eye was easily squeezed out, like toothpaste.
His soft-looking, excellent-feeling white left eye had no injury whatsoever.
Compared to his body which could directly bounce off bullets, the defense of his eyes was indeed a little weaker.
But this didn't mean that Sloan could shoot through Venom Russell's head with a Mauser pistol.
The bullet did drill into his left eye, but only a tiny bit.
This much damage, for Russell in his Venom form, wouldn't even take a tenth of a second to completely recover from.
Russell didn't give Sloan a chance to fire a second shot.
Five tentacle-like black tendrils simultaneously emerged from his body, wrapping around Sloan's limbs and neck like pythons, lifting him up.
"Mr. Sloan, this is not a suitable place for a conversation. Let's go back to the tunnel to talk."
Russell dispelled the Venom transformation of his head, revealing his true appearance, and said slowly.
After speaking, he didn't wait for Sloan's answer. He carried Sloan back to the underground tunnel and closed the iron door of the tunnel by the way.
Sloan must be killed!
He was set on getting the Bullet Curve and Adrenaline Self-Control abilities.
However, before killing Sloan, he had a few small experiments to do.
Some small experiments about the Venom's abilities.
Although he now possessed all the abilities after being possessed by Venom, what he had was not a true symbiote after all.
Compared to the systems of other transmigrators, his system was not at all considerate, and could even be said to be somewhat perfunctory.
The fact that he could withstand bullets with his body was a good example.
Since the system was too lazy to explain these, he could only test it himself.
Among Venom's many superpowers, he was particularly interested in one.
Genetic Replication!
When Venom possesses a host, as long as it reaches a certain duration of possession, it can replicate the host's abilities through genetic replication.
For example, Deadpool's healing ability and Spider-Man's superpowers.
This was a very promising ability. If used well, it could even become a stable source of new abilities.
Although Venom could only replicate abilities related to the body and was limited by the duration of possession, this still didn't affect Genetic Replication being a very promising ability.
If he had the real Venom now, Russell wouldn't have the idea of testing.
But unfortunately, what he had now was not a true Venom.
To avoid a situation where he didn't understand his own abilities again, he decided to test it personally with Sloan.
First of all, Sloan was a normal Earth human.
This meant that replicating his abilities through genetic replication wouldn't require a long duration of possession.
Secondly, Sloan possessed the extraordinary ability of Bullet Curve.
Although Bullet Curve was somewhat different from the extraordinary abilities produced by genetic mutation, it couldn't be denied that Bullet Curve was indeed an extraordinary ability.
It was just an extraordinary ability that could be acquired through learning.
Finally, Sloan wouldn't refuse his test.
Sloan was now so happy he could barely speak, his face full of joy.
Looking at Sloan's current appearance, Russell slightly loosened the tendrils wrapped around Sloan's neck.
Besides testing the Genetic Replication ability on Sloan, he had another small question.
He wanted to know if the symbiote split from his body would completely inherit the symbiote's abilities and if it would be under his control.
It was the same problem, the Venom he had now was not a true Venom.
If he had the real Venom, he could completely transfer the Venom on his body to Sloan.
But the problem was, he didn't have the real Venom.
So, this was also a question that could only be answered after testing.
One test subject could yield two test results.
From this perspective, Sloan was undoubtedly a very good test subject.
"How much did the Cross give you? As long as you let me go, I can give you double!"
Sloan, whose breathing was no longer suppressed, began the cliché double-price bribe.
"Give up, you can't afford double the reward he gave."
The Cross's commission was directly related to the reward given by the system.
Sloan could never give double this reward.
"You don't need to worry too much, I won't do anything cruel to you."
"If everything goes well, you can experience a wonderful feeling."
After being possessed by a symbiote, one could experience the wonderful feeling of a surge in physical functions.
The excitement brought by that feeling was similar to a beggar suddenly winning a five million dollar lottery.
Russell had experienced it several times, but when he underwent full-body Venom transformation, he would still be stimulated to feel somewhat high.
After speaking, he once again controlled the black tendrils, tightening them around Sloan's neck, so that he wouldn't continue to ask questions or shout later.
"Alright, time is limited, let's begin!"
Currently, only Russell's head was in a normal human form, while his body remained Venomized.
His demonic body and the black tendrils emerging from him, combined with the fear on Sloan's face and the dim environment in the tunnel, looked evil no matter how you saw it.
More than ten minutes later.
Having already gotten the answer, Russell didn't hesitate at all. He controlled the black tendrils and twisted Sloan's neck.
With a snap, Sloan's eyes completely lost their light.
At the moment of Sloan's death, the system information that only he could see automatically popped up.
"Reward: Destiny Assassin; Status: Activated; Activation Condition: Complete the Cross's commission (Kill Sloan); Activation Effect: After activation, master Bullet Curve and gain the ability of Adrenaline Self-Control."
Seeing the system information that popped up, Russell whistled with satisfaction.
Sloan's selfless cooperation allowed him to get the desired test results and successfully replicate the extraordinary ability of Bullet Curve.
But this was not the real reason he was happy.
What truly made him happy was the Bullet Curve given by the system.
