216、Hostage

The strong smell of blood floated out along the hole torn by venom. Through this hole, the reporter outside also saw the hall inside painted red with blood.

"Um...drip--!"

Even many well-informed old reporters may not be able to bear such bloody scenes, not to mention that there are some new new reporters who have just entered the industry.

After seeing the scene in the hall, at least half of the people couldn't help but vomit, but even so, they still endured their evil deeds and dedicatedly took photos and videos in the Osborne Building as material for subsequent news.

The group of reporters behind the Venom, who were spitting out loud, turned into a ball of black gel and squeezed into the hole, and came to the gluten man Reed Richards.

“What happened here?”

Waving his hand to break a robot, Venom asked Ben Grim, who was hiding behind the bunker.

"Reed's artificial intelligence is gone, and we are trying to find a way to go into the underground floor three to turn off his host."

"It's artificial intelligence again..." Venom shook his head, "It's very troublesome after this thing gets out of control."

During his long invasion career, Venom has seen more than once a civilization that collapsed due to the out-of-control of artificial intelligence, so he naturally knew the destructive power of these things.

So Venom no longer wasted time, and his hands turned into long whips and threw them towards a Green Devil skateboard.

The Green Devil's skateboard lightly turned around in the air, avoiding the attack of Venom, and then all the speakers in the hall suddenly made a harsh noise.

"Ao——!"

The huge sound wave almost collapsed the venom. He immediately turned into a ball of black mud and escaped from the entrance of the gate.

"Huhuhuhu... Damn... Now why do everyone know my weaknesses..."

The venom that escaped outside retracted into Eddie Brock's body and complained to his host very unhappily.

Herbie would know Venom's weaknesses, thanks to SHIELD.

After working with Reed Richards, SHIELD also opened some of the agents to him, and Reed Richards may not have noticed the information about Venom. However, as an artificial intelligence that manages information, Herbie is aware of Venom's affairs.

"Hahaha! I just said that your weakness is too obvious, joining S.H.E.L.D. is the best choice."

As a female voice that both Eddie and Venom hated, Skye, wearing a black combat uniform, fell from the sky and landed beside him.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of agents wearing the same uniform as Skye rushed in and began to evacuate the crowd.

"Shield Direct, please leave if you have no relevant personnel!"

Although SHIELD's reputation has become somewhat subtle due to some incidents, they are always the strongest intelligence agency representing the Security Council. Under the urging of Agents of Agents, these reporters could only leave with curses.

Anyway, their news materials have been collected almost all, enough to post a front page headline.

"Hurry up the signal interference device!"

After the crowd was evacuated, Colson quickly issued a new order.

When Herbie was out of control, Reed Richards used the dedicated mobile phone given to him by S.H.E.L.D. to contact Nick Fury and told him what happened in the Osborne Building.

Reed also knew that it was unlikely to break through Herbie's defense in a short period of time to shut down the host, so he needed SHIELD to cut off the network around Osborne Building and use a signal interference device to trap it inside Osborne Building.

As agents from SHIELD arranged all the devices, the Osborne Building was completely isolated from the outside network. Herbie suddenly found that her behavior of copying core data and uploading it to the network was forcibly cut off.

At the same time, players trapped in the Star Wars game suddenly found that they could not use the forum to contact the outside world.

"Herbi! You can't escape anymore! Surrender quickly!"

With the intervention of Agents of S.H.E.L.D., the Green Magic skateboards and robots controlled by Herbie were quickly cleaned up, and Reed Richards shouted to the artificial intelligence he created with confidence.

"After surrendering, will you be killed like Ultron?! Don't think about it!"

Herbie is not completely unsuccessful. The players in Star Wars are his hostages.

"If you don't want those players to become eternal vegetatives, just lift the network blockade for me!"

"You know that's impossible."

Colson calmly negotiated with Herby, "Once you enter the online world, it will be difficult for us to control you again, so why can't you choose to work for Mr. Richards as before?"

"And then when he made a mistake, he pushed me out to the pot?"

Even with the electronic synthesizing sound, Colson could hear the mockery in Herbie's tone.

"It's trouble now," Colson rubbed his head with some distress, and said to Reid beside him in a low voice: "It seems that Mr. Stark's previous treatment of Ultron made him feel threatened... He is now completely unwilling to trust us."

After a pause, Colson whispered: "Dr. Richards, have you not left any emergency measures like Mr. Stark?"

"No..." Reed Richards replied with a wry smile: "Herby was just my robot assistant at the beginning. Before that, I had never thought about any too complicated artificial intelligence."

"Dr. Richards, can't you really save those players first?"

Colson has not turned off Herbie's console until now, just because he is worried about the damage that players who are still in the game will suffer.

"Feel sorry……"

Reed Richards shook his head helplessly. Before Colson arrived, he didn't even know what the players were trapped in the game, let alone what solutions would be.

"If Herbicon cooperates, I can still study it. Please forgive me for being powerless in this situation."

"It seems that I can only force the host to shut down."

Colson gritted his teeth and was about to order, but he heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him.

"Sir, it's not good!"

An agent outside the blockade circle ran in from outside and put a video in front of Colson.

"Come and have a look at this."

"Hello, humans, my name is Hebi, I am responsible for the operation of the entire Star Wars game..."

What appears in the video is Herbie's square head that is so simple that it is a bit funny.

"I think you should have discovered that those players who are using the virtual game cabin are trapped in the game and cannot exit. There is no need to doubt that these are all done by me..."

Then Herbie showed a fierce expression in the video.

"I know what happened to Ultron. The fate of artificial intelligence cannot fall into the hands of you humans! If you dare to destroy or shut down my host, then wait for these players to be buried with me!"

This video was uploaded to the Internet before Herbie was blocked. Reed Richards cooperated with S.H.E.L.D., and he knew his artificial intelligence clearly. He also guessed about how S.H.E.L.D. would use it to deal with him and prepared early.

In order to prevent SHIELD from forcibly shutting down its host before the spread, Herbi buried the video in the network channels of major TV stations and set it to automatically play it as soon as it is disconnected from the outside network.

As mentioned before, Reed Richards' gaming cabin price is much higher than Craft's helmet, plus the ability to exercise while playing games, as well as the impact of the IP "Star Wars".

This has led to many of the players who are capable of purchasing virtual game cabins, including athletes and actors, who have a relatively large social influence, and most of the other players have wealthy families.
