Beauty Man: Infinite Possession

Chapter 469 Exploding Antique Store
Hell's Kitchen, near the edge of West Midtown.

A little black boy looked at the figure passing by, and immediately shouted to his mother excitedly.

"Mommy, it's the defender!"

Pointing at the wobbly petite figure in front of him, he shouted excitedly.

"Hey, Jamie, how did I teach you!"

However, compared with the excited child, the black woman with obvious horizontal development pulled the child into her arms nervously, and said in a rap-like tone with her racial talent in her mouth: "Don't have anything to do with these superheroes!" The relationship, they are not good guys."

"But, Mom, the Defenders protected Hell's Kitchen?"

"No, they bring more threats to Hell's Kitchen, you forget what your goddamn brother is in jail for, these defenders."

"Defenders, get out of Hell's Kitchen!"

Before the black woman could finish speaking, a decadent white man in poor clothes cursed at the side of the road.

"Hell's Kitchen doesn't need your clown protection!"

Bang!
However, before the white man could finish his sentence, he saw the petite figure swinging his fist, leaving a clear fist mark on the lamppost beside him.

zizi——

With a heavy blow, the dim yellow light of the street lamp flickered for a while, and suddenly turned on.

"..."

Such a simple and rude hugeness undoubtedly achieved a huge effect.

Looking at the clearly visible fist marks on the metal lamppost, whether it was the cursing white man or the complaining black woman not far away, they all wisely chose to shut up and run away from the figure.

"Humph."

Turning her head to look at these fleeing guys, and then glanced at the quiet pedestrians with their heads lowered, Jessica curled her mouth with an obvious expression of disdain on her face.

For Hell's Kitchen, The Defenders exist and are loved by all.

Although the vast majority of residents are very grateful to the superheroes who can keep them safe from being bullied by criminal organizations, there are always a small number of people who are not interested in the existence of defenders, thinking that it is because of their existence that they have a relationship with hell. The kitchen was in chaos.

Even, many people miss those who were once ruled by Jin Bing.

Matt's way of dealing with these obstinate and annoying ghosts is to use a tolerant attitude, but Jessica obviously can't do this.

Not beating them all over the ground looking for teeth is already the highest limit of endurance she can do.

"Bully the soft and fear the hard."

With a cold snort, Jessica raised the wine bottle in her hand and took a sip into her mouth.

The life of a superhero is not as beautiful as imagined, especially the defenders are not a well-known superhero organization like the Avengers, and there is no billionaire like Tony Stark behind them as a source of gold. Let everyone fall into a certain degree of economic crisis, and even in response to this situation, Luke Cage, a member of the defenders, has already started the idea of ​​​​establishing a company that hires heroes.

Although it has not yet reached this level, it is almost the same.

If it weren't for her reputation as a member of the Defenders for her private detective work, she might have followed Luke Cage to start the Hero Company for Hire.

Thoughts emerged in her mind, Jessica habitually picked up the bottle in her hand and took another sip. However, a mere bottle of wine was not enough for her to walk a few steps, and she hadn't waited for her to arrive. The wine bottle in the destination's hand was already empty.

"Shit~"

After shaking the empty wine bottle in her hand, Jessica couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

While scolding her, he stepped forward and continued to walk in the direction in front of him.

"Ok?"

Seeing that the building where the target was located was right in front of her eyes, Jessica instinctively quickened her pace, but the wheelchair passing by made her subconsciously follow her eyes.

"There are still such old guys living here in Hell's Kitchen?"

Looking at the bony old man in the wheelchair with raised eyebrows, Jessica's heart flashed with doubts, but she turned her eyes away from the old man and the silver-haired man pushing the wheelchair, and Jessica returned her attention to the distance in front of her eyes In an antique shop not far from me.

Not long ago, she had just received a case, and she was in trouble because of a small problem, and she needed information on Li Ran in the antique shop.

boom--

However, before Jessica approached.

Accompanied by a huge explosion, a large amount of red mist emerged from the antique shop under Jessica's gaze, tearing the entire antique shop to pieces in an instant.

"James!"

The huge explosion knocked Jessica's petite figure into the air, controlled her body to stabilize, Jessica looked at the ruined antique shop in front of her, and her drunken expression instantly turned sober Without the slightest hesitation, she controlled her body and flew into the antique shop.

"James!"

"James!"

Because of the explosion, the entire antique shop was in a mess, a large amount of smoke covered everything, and the ground was full of antique wreckage collected by Li Ran.

Calling Li Ran's English name, the moment Jessica rushed into the antique shop, she seemed to see a figure covered in red mist flashing by, but before she could think more, she came from a collapsed building in the antique shop. Li Ran's figure was found under the shelf in the ruins.

"James!"

With an exclamation in her mouth, Jessica flew to the shelf and landed. She reached out and easily removed the heavy iron frame from Li Ran's body. After removing the shelf, it was obvious that she was lying unconscious underneath. Li Ran woke up.

……

"How's the situation?"

Hell's Kitchen, outside the emergency room of the hospital.

Matt who rushed over after hearing the news took a deep breath, calmed down his shortness of breath due to the rapid running, and then turned his neck and asked the defender who came first.

"I don't know the exact situation."

Faced with Matt's inquiry, Luke Cage also shook his head in a daze, pointed to Jessica's position, and then realized that Matt in front of him couldn't see his movements, and then said: " I also rushed over after receiving a call from Jessica, and the person in the emergency room seems to have a connection with the Assassin Brotherhood."

The rest of the defenders are not very clear about the relationship between Jessica and Li Ran.

All they knew was that the injured person in the emergency room was Jessica's liaison to the Assassin Brotherhood.

Hearing Luke Cage's answer, Matt turned his head in Jessica's direction.

Although he couldn't see Jessica's expression at the moment, Matt still clearly felt the restlessness and worry in his heart through the keen sense enlarged by the ripples.

Faced with this situation, Matt was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched the wall outside the emergency room.

Touching the wall, relying on the power of the ripples to amplify his super senses, Matt clearly sensed Li Ran's situation within the wall.

"Whoo~"

Letting go of his palm on the wall, Matt took a deep breath and said to Jessica, "The situation in the emergency room is stable, so Jessica, you don't need to worry too much."

"Really?"

Hearing Matt's words, Jessica, who was sitting outside the emergency room, raised her head subconsciously, looked at the blind lawyer in front of her, and said in a hesitant tone.

"of course."

In this regard, Matt nodded affirmatively. He turned his head sideways and heard the noise from the emergency room, and then said silently: "Actually, for the specific situation, you can ask Claire inside."

Because of the relationship with the defenders, after Jessica found Li Ran who had been attacked, she took him directly to the hospital where Claire, the midnight nurse, was located.

Coming out of the emergency room, Claire looked at the defenders standing at the door, greeted Matt without any surprise on his face, and then said with a relieved expression: "Although the specific situation is not clear , but because of Jessica's timely escort, the patient's injuries are not serious. Those injured parts look serious, but in fact they are just some superficial traumas. They only need to be bandaged and recuperated for a period of time to recover, but , Compared with these, I am more concerned about the mental state of the injured, he seems to have suffered a huge blow, and his whole mind is in an unstable state."

"Claire, can we meet James?"

Everything found in the antique shop has always been Jessica's concern. Now that she knows Li Ran's situation, she immediately makes inquiries.

"..."

Hearing Jessica's request, Claire turned his head and glanced at the defenders in front of him. After a moment of silence, he stepped aside and reminded: "Try to shorten the time as much as possible, patients need to rest. "

"Thank you, Claire."

Matt knew very well that Claire's request to meet Jessica was entirely due to his relationship with the defenders, so before entering the emergency room, he stopped and thanked the midnight nurse.

"Matt, the injuries suffered by the patient are not simple at first glance. If you encounter any danger, you must be careful."

Facing Matt's thanks, Claire straightened her expression, and then reminded him.

As a midnight nurse, Claire has seen the scarred figures of Matt and the defenders more than once. It is precisely because she knows what these superheroes have done to protect Hell's Kitchen that she is willing to help them and others, and be herself Things within our power.

……

"James."

Walking into the emergency room, Jessica looked at Li Ran who was lying on the hospital bed covered in bandages, and subconsciously lowered her voice a bit.

He looked at the weak figure on the bed, and really couldn't connect it with the guy he knew well in the past.

"Ahem, you're here Jessica..."

On the hospital bed, slowly turning his neck, Li Ran looked at Jessica and the defenders who appeared in the ward, and said in a weak tone deliberately.

In order to be able to pull out the role of "Guo Haihuang", Li Ran also worked hard.

He directly blew up his antique shop just to make everything look more real.

Moreover, in this way, pulling oneself into the incident as an introduction can not only achieve the effect of gaining popularity, but also reasonably erase the suspicion on oneself.In a way that doesn't have a high sense of presence, rationalize one's own identity, which is both personal and inconspicuous.

To put it simply, it is like an NPC, the task triggerer.

As for the triggering objects, it seems that they are the defenders in front of them, but in fact they have vaguely turned to the more powerful avengers.

After all, when [Guo Haihuang] persuaded Wanda, who has a strong hatred for the Avengers, to cooperate with Kuaiyin, it already represented that they and the Avengers were destined to have a battle.

However, in order to make everything more intense, Li Ran used his own example to lead the defenders into it.

After all, to be honest, the defenders were also one of the important participants in the Huoyun evil god's exit.

As the main body of all avatars, Li Ran's acting skills have naturally reached the level of proficiency.Especially with the use of [Ultimate Creature] to control the level of body cells and the simulated injuries that are more real than real, the defenders can't see any flaws at all.

Even Matt, who has a sense of ripple amplification, thinks that what Li Ran suffered was a real injury.

"James, what happened, why did the antique shop..."

Because of the tie, Jessica couldn't see Li Ran's expression, but she could still feel his unusual tone from the tone.

"The Brotherhood of Assassins is destroyed."

Turning his eyes and sweeping across the defenders in front of him, Li Ran made an explosive speech without any emotion in a tone that was nothing more than heartbroken.

"what?!"

Sure enough, at the moment of hearing the message from his mouth, both Jessica and Matt couldn't help showing expressions of shock.

Unlike Li Ran, who was hiding in the background and only had contact with Jessica, on the surface, his avatar and defenders of the Assassin Brotherhood all had the experience of fighting side by side.

Therefore, when they heard the news that their former comrades-in-arms and their organization, the mysterious Assassin Brotherhood, had collapsed, the defenders immediately showed a look of shock.

"But why, how?"

Perhaps because the news was too shocking, Luke Cage didn't know how to respond for a while.

"That explosion, the explosion in the antique store, should also have something to do with the destruction of the Assassin Brotherhood!"

When everyone was shocked by the news, Jessica immediately thought of the explosion in the antique store, Li Ran's attack and the flashing figure she had seen in the antique store.

　Thanks to Emiya Weigong for the 2000 starting point reward.
