Illusionist in American comics

Old tables and chairs, melodious blues, and a bar with only one person.

Luke was wiping his wine glass.

His life has been quiet since he went incognito and changed his name to Luke Cage.

It wasn't until half a year ago that the bar where he worked was invaded by gangs, and he secretly helped the owner clean up the mess.

Then the old shop owner passed away, and he used the black money he collected to buy the bar.

Although there are not many guests every day, he likes his current life.

Of course, it would be better if there weren't any gangsters nearby.

Unfortunately, this was Hell's Kitchen, and it was useless for him to clean it by himself.

Putting down the glass, Luke poured a glass of vodka, then picked up the newspaper on the table.

As the largest circulation newspaper in the New York Times, today's front page headline is still given to Tony Stark.

But this time the content is different.

【Surprise news! Stark Industries announced that it will stop the research and development of the weapons department and will no longer touch the military industry]

[The weapons department is closed, and the former arms giant is in decline]

[Stark Industries stock continues to fall and is now like waste paper]

Below the title, is a picture of Tony Stark.

Although he looks haggard in the picture, he still announced this important decision.

"What's the use of closing the weapons department?"

"The biggest arms dealer is not Stark Industries like you."

"But...this country"

Luke Cage has served in the military and as a mercenary, and he has a thorough understanding of these things.

At the same time, he also understands that one person's efforts are useless, and only working with like-minded partners can turn everything around.

The bell dinged, the door of the bar was pushed open, and Luke looked away from the newspaper.

"Welcome, Jessica"

"What to drink?"

Jessica Jones, a private detective, has a good face, but her clothes are sloppy. This morning's cereal can even be seen on her blue scarf.

Because he often accepts commissions from poor people for free, he is also known as a kind-hearted knight.

I came here to get information from Luke.

"Milk bar, I drank too much wine last night."

Sitting on a high chair, Jessica leaned on the bar and spoke without energy.

"What are you investigating recently? I think your condition is not very good."

A glass of warm milk and some sliced ​​strawberries. Although Luke looks rough, he is very delicate on the inside.

Of course, he does not rule out his special feelings for Jessica.

Moreover, as long as they are beautiful women, they will receive preferential treatment no matter where they are.

Even a sloppy beauty.

"This commission is a bit troublesome. In addition to asking you for information, I'm here to ask for your help."

Jessica can handle ordinary entrustments by herself, and she is not afraid even of Kingpin's men.

But this time the situation was a bit special. In order to prevent accidents, she decided to call for foreign aid.

"Trouble? Do you want to inform Matt?"

Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer in Hell's Kitchen, has a reputation for working exclusively with civilians.

But this is only a superficial identity. At night, Matt will put on a mask and transform into Daredevil to maintain law and order in Hell's Kitchen.

Unlike Luke and Jessica, Matt is the undisputed hero.

The three had formed a deep friendship before working together against Kingpin, and even founded an organization called the Defenders.

In addition to the three people, there is another person in this alliance, but he is not in New York recently.

"The two of us are enough. Matt also has his own things to be busy with."

"By the way, Danny wrote a letter to the three of us. He said that this training will be over soon."

“Should be back soon”

Jessica took out two envelopes from her coat pocket, looked at the names, and handed one to Luke.

Danny Rand, the last of the Defenders, is also the most amazing person.

He had an accident when he was young, but was lucky enough to be saved.

The mysterious rescuer took him to a place called Kunlun, and when Danny returned to New York, he was already known as Iron Fist.

"One more person means more strength"

"I have a hunch that Kingpin may be planning something after being quiet for so long."

Luke looked through the window into the distance, where was the tallest building in Hell's Kitchen.

Fisk Building.

As night fell, Luke and Jessica walked carefully on the street.

According to the intelligence collected by Luke, there will be a transaction taking place here tonight.

As for Matt, the two did not notify.

Neither of them are ordinary people. Luke has been transformed by the military and has the ability to be invulnerable. This is similar to Tombstone, the boss of the Holy Stone Gang.

But Jessica is different. She was irradiated by chemical agents when she was young, and thus gained the ability to fly. At the same time, she also has strong strength and can easily break through walls with one hand.

"This time the commission came from a homeless man"

"His companion is missing and he hopes I can help him find him."

"Originally I thought it was just a small commission, until last night..."

In a quiet street with yellowing street lights, the two of them were hiding by a wall. In front of them, there was a group of gangsters with guns in hand.

The group of people drove the homeless people away one by one. After everyone was put into the truck, the group of people looked around before driving away.

"It's Kingpin's men!"

Luke looked away and looked at the silent Jessica.

"Follow them first and see what they are going to do."

Doubts arose in the minds of the two of them. What was Kingpin doing to arrest so many homeless people?

Is it a drug trial?

On a street full of potholes, a dilapidated old pickup truck drove towards the dock.

As the night gets darker, the fog also disperses at this moment.

At this time, only a few car lights lit up in the fog, and then disappeared into the distance.

But in mid-air, Jessica held Luke's hand, and the two of them flew in mid-air, always tracking the pickup truck ahead.

It wasn't until they arrived at the dock that the two hid in the container.

"Be quick with your hands and feet. Over there, hurry up!"

Bang, a gunshot, followed by painful pleading and driving sounds.

When all the homeless people entered the container, the people outside clapped their hands, and then the crane started, grabbing the container and moving it towards the freighter not far away.

"Which batch is this?"

Bullseye suddenly appeared next to several people, looking deeply at the freighter not far away.

"The thirteenth batch, a total of 1,900 people"

Several people said respectfully after seeing Bullseye. As thugs in the gang, they knew the methods of the people in front of them very well.

That can only be described as cruel.

"Very well, keep collecting, as long as they are human beings"

"I will remember your merits. Your qualifications as beast soul masters are waiting for you."

When several people heard this, they quickly responded happily.

Beast soul person? Jessica and Luke looked at each other in the distance. Could this be Kingpin's new experiment?

Just as the two were thinking about how to save the group of wanderers, a figure appeared in the darkness, the weapon in the opponent's hand flashed with cold light, and then the crane slowly stopped.

Then the crane restarted and the container was lowered again.

"Daredevil!"

Bang, the flying knife penetrated the cab of the crane, and a figure wearing a red and black tights immediately emerged from inside. Then the figure flashed, and several gangsters in the distance were hit by unknown objects before they even fired. Fell into coma.

"Bullseye, where did you take that group of people from before!"

When the two collided, Daredevil's movements were more flexible. The dark night could not hinder his vision, and his agile movements could always dodge Bullseye's attack in advance.

But after just a few exchanges, Bullseye rose and landed on the container, and then said jokingly.

"I want to know, but I just won't tell you."

"What can you do to me?"

"Also, there's no need to hide from those two garbage men in the distance. I can smell your stink no matter how far away you are."

Two flying knives penetrated the container in front of Luke and the two, and the sharp edges were pointed directly into Jessica's eyes. At this time, Luke stood in front of the other party, just raising his chest, and with two crisp collision sounds, the flying knives flew The knife fell in response.

As the two appeared, Daredevil asked with a hint of surprise.

"Why are you here?"

"Same as your purpose"

Arriving in front of Matt, Jessica spoke.

Matt's goal tonight is also to find out the cause of missing persons, but his commission comes from the plea of ​​a neighbor whose wife is missing.

Matt, who has rich experience, immediately set his sights on the gang. At the same time, after several days of exploration, he finally locked on Kingpin.

Looking at it now, this direction is not wrong.

Who doesn't know in Hell's Kitchen that Bullseye is Kingpin's number one henchman.

"One, two, three, very good, exactly three people."

"Let me test the strength of the newcomers with a few of you."

Bullseye whistled, and then the container underneath him was instantly broken open by three huge figures, followed by roars that filled the sky.

"My goodness!"

"What is this!"

"Porcupine! Bison! What's this last one?"

"That's a crocodile!"

With animal heads and human bodies, and pairs of scarlet eyes, Matt and Jessica came up behind Luke in tacit understanding, while their eyes looked back and forth at the three humanoid creatures.

"Hahaha, guys, teach them a lesson."

Stomping his feet lightly, Bullseye came to another high platform, and then began to enjoy tonight's beast fighting scene.

On the other hand, Luke and the other three were dashed and dispersed by three huge beasts in just an instant.

Bang, bang, bang, the fine hairs were shot out like steel needles like bullets. Matt dodged while thinking about countermeasures.

But the heavy rain of guard hairs didn't give him a chance to get close, so he could only quickly avoid it.

On the other side, Luke looked at Mr. Crocodile in front of him, who was several heads taller than him, and thought about whether to say hello, but before he could say anything, a thick and powerful tail whipped him away several meters away.

"Bah, have you taken a shower? No, have you washed your tail?"

"You stink, man!"

His body was fine, but the stench surrounding his nose made Luke a little unbearable.

But looking at the creature that was already rushing towards him, he could only raise his fist to meet the enemy.

Unlike the two companions who rushed to meet the enemy, Jessica first used her advantage in the air to avoid the opponent's sudden attack, then came behind the opponent, held the opponent's tail with her white hands, and then started to spin like a windmill.

The several-hundred-pound beast spiriter was like a doll in Jessica's hands. Noticing Matt's plight in the distance, she took a slight aim, and then threw the object in her hand hard.

Then it flew away like a bowling ball.

Then a home run was pitched, and two equally ferocious bodies collided and flew towards Luke with the force.

Luke also had the same tacit understanding, pulling Mr. Crocodile's tail to start with the same windmill, and then threw violently.

The three collided together in the air, and the momentum accelerated. There were only a few crisp sounds, but the three beasts were already motionless.

"Shet!"

Seeing this scene, Bullseye spit out a mouthful of sticky phlegm in frustration. Ordinary beast soul users are just garbage, and they can't even handle a few bastards.

"Huh, I'll deal with you next time."

Escaping into the shadows, Bullseye then came to the container and just touched it with his hand, and the container also disappeared into the shadows.

By the time the three Lukes reacted and started looking for Bullseye, the freighter at sea had disappeared, and the group of wanderers had also disappeared.

"Trouble!"

The three of them looked at each other, and then looked at the calm sea through the dim fog.

At night, there are countless man-eating monsters in the sea.
