Shiller nodded in satisfaction and said, "The ending is good, but I think we should add a teaser about the formation of The Avengers in the credits to attract attention for the next season."
"The Avengers is the content of the third season, do we need to mention it in the second episode? Isn't it a bit too fast?"
"So, what mainly is the second season about?"
"The second season still contains three stories. They are about my relationship with Venom in 'Orphan of the Beautiful New World', Spider-Man's 'Good Neighbor or Bad Boy?', and Night Devil's 'He Looks Like Dawn'."
Shiller arched an eyebrow, "Civilian heroes?"
Eddie nodded and said, "Yes, we think it can resonate better with the public, and it's related to the upcoming formation of The Avengers."
"So season three is about S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and The Avengers, is it?" Shiller recalled the script he said, "There seems to be no issue with this arrangement, but perhaps we could enrich the second season by including five stories and expand on other Avengers' members."
"We would like to film Black Widow. After all, she is both an Avenger member and an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but since she's a killer, I'm afraid the public might not accept her quite easily."
Shiller nodded but refrained from giving further suggestions. He believed Eddie would handle this well, and S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't short of potential candidates to film, for example, Hawkeye and Coulson are great options.
Then Eddie added hesitantly, "In fact, because the documentary series is lengthy and majorly funded by official sources, many large companies are not too interested. However, some companies have shown interest in producing a movie."
"Which company?"
"Disney."
Shiller nearly sprayed his coffee, ending up unable to elude Mickey Mouse after a roundabout journey.
"What did Nick say?"
"What can he say?" Eddie spread his hands in resignation, "He would definitely sell us for a good price."
Shiller chuckled, finished his coffee, and as if remembering something, asked Eddie, "Although it's not time for a psychological evaluation, I have to ask routinely. Have you encountered any troubles recently?"
Eddie, ready to leave, poked his head back through the door and said, "Thanks for the concern, doctor. Not recently."
Only when the door was completely shut did Shiller chuckle softly and whisper, "Then you will have it soon."
Eddie, carrying his projection equipment, headed towards the space shuttle station, deep in thought about the filming of the next documentary series.
Ensuring the perfection of the details in his head, Eddie finally returned to his apartment, riding a space shuttle.
His apartment was still located on the edge of Hell's Kitchen. Although he could have moved to Manhattan Center, resolving Venom's chivalrous deeds conveniently during meals was not possible there. So Eddie chose to stay here.
He walked normally into the somewhat old apartment building. As soon as he entered, he felt a chill running down his back. The door of the apartment building closed with a "clang".
Eddie suspiciously looked back but saw nothing. He stood there for a while, pressed the button for the elevator, but the light above suddenly flickered and went out.
"What's going on?" Eddie asked in his mind, hoping Venom could answer, but Venom hummed, "I didn't sense anything. Why are you so startled?"
Through Venom's endless theft of chocolate balls training, Eddie could now tell quite well when Venom was lying. He didn't find anything unusual in Venom's tone, thus calming down a bit.
Eddie pressed the elevator button. But just as the elevator button faintly lit up, Eddie saw a small shadow behind him reflected on the elevator door.
Eddie turned back suddenly but saw nothing. In his mind he said, "Mask, give me some night vision."
In an instant, his eyes were covered by a dark film, and everything in the dark became visible. However, his cowardly will wasn't swayed by the brightness or darkness around him. Eddie swallowed his saliva and decided to stare at the elevator. As soon as the door opened, he would rush in.
"Why did you only feel afraid now?" Venom asked, confused. "Haven't we walked this way home many times before?"
"But… but…"
Eddie stammered for quite a while, realizing he couldn't explain to Venom. The human race's fear of ghost was innate, and he didn't want this symbiont to mock him, so he said nothing.
Venom was a symbiont; all the information he received came from the host. Coincidentally, none of his previous hosts cared to watch ghost movies. Even Deadpool, on weekends, would at most sit with a big bag of chips, watching some gory films. Therefore, he didn't even know what a ghost was, let alone fearing it.
Eddie hadn't allowed him to read specific thoughts, so Venom thought Eddie's suspicion arose from the stress of filming the documentary. Since he didn't take it seriously, he didn't pursue the matter.
The elevator door finally opened, and Eddie dashed in. But just as the elevator door was slowly closing, he heard a "thump".
He froze, then looked towards the reflection on the elevator's side wall as if he had sensed something.
He saw a dark spherical object near his feet. The thumping noise was the sound of it rolling over.
The elevator door opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in. Eddie saw the small shadow again and heard an ethereal voice, "Uncle, have you seen my ball?"
In response, Eddie instinctively looked down at his feet. The shadow that looked like a ball turned towards him, showing its hollow, bleeding eyes and its mouth that was gaping wide open in horror.
"Ahh!!!!!!!!!!!"
The next morning, Eddie, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, sat on the single sofa in the SHIELD Agency's psychological therapy room. Shiller handed him a cup of coffee and asked concernedly, "What happened? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Eddie stared at Shiller, "Doctor...do you believe ghosts exist in this world?"
Shiller's finger paused, then he said, "No offense intended, but as a psychologist, I prefer to analyze so-called supernatural events from a psychological pressure perspective."
Eddie wasn't surprised by the answer. He closed his eyes, leaned back on the sofa and said, "I might be under too much pressure. Venom said he didn't see anything."
Shiller sat down across him and said, "I understand your desire to make the documentary series as good as possible. But it would be counterproductive if you end up ruining your health."
"I'll be off to another universe for business soon. We could go together and relax a bit, what do you think?"
"No, I've got…"
Then, at the moment Eddie saw the blurry figure of a little boy appearing again in the glass behind Shiller, he began nodding his head furiously.
