Chapter 245: Daredevil
The sun had just set, and the sky was white, and there was a regular overcolor in the sky, from white to blue, from blue to black. The empty mountains seemed to fade to green, becoming darker in the light.
After listening to Li Mo's words, Johnny. Blazer was silent for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "They... After all, it's an angel from heaven. ”
Li Mo smiled and shook his head, even though Johnny had been dealing with demons and evil spirits and was used to the darkness of the world. But because of the educational and cultural atmosphere since childhood, I still maintain a fear of God in my heart.
This is completely understandable, just like the family philosophy and Confucian etiquette of the Chinese, some things are difficult to change from the bones.
"I believe in the power of faith and in the greed of human nature." Li Mo lit a cigarette and looked into the distance and said, "Good and evil are only the two baselines of the mind, and they do not represent the essence of the soul. ”
"What do you mean?" Johnny. Blazer frowned.
"Forget it, I'll give you an analysis." Li Mo shook his head.
"First, God exists. A series of events in history and His creations, the heavens, the angels, and the vengeful spirit in you, can be used as direct evidence. ”
"But there has been no detailed record of him since the beginning of history, not even in the hidden magic texts. Even heaven has been closed for an unknown amount of time, and it has not been opened until now. ”
"I once did a series of studies and came to the conclusion that God may not be in heaven at all, and it is even possible that God is someone else."
"Someone else?" Johnny. Blazer's mind was a little confused, "Who is it?" ”
"It's hard to say, I'm not sure yet, I didn't continue to dig into it because it didn't make sense." Li Mo shook his head, "None of this is important, my question about this angel coming is,"
"Why did they go earlier?"
"From ancient times to the present, the earth has experienced many world-destroying disasters, and I have experienced a few alone."
"Why did an angel suddenly come down and say with a righteous face that he wanted to save the earth?"
"Don't tell me about the cause of the demons, there are countless demons that have been operating on Earth for tens of thousands of years, and they have used this place as a playground. And what about angels? ”
"I haven't seen any of them."
"The only people who can really be called the patron saints of the earth are Odin and the Ancient One."
"What is the reason why the Gates of Heaven have been closed for so long?"
"These guys are so suspicious..."
Johnny. Blazer was silent for a while, then stood up abruptly, "You're right, there are indeed too many suspicious points in this series of things, and I decided to investigate them clearly." ”
After all that, Johnny. Blazer transformed into a ghost rider and disappeared into the distance in a flaming motorcycle.
Li Mo smiled and shook his head, he didn't pay much attention to the conspiracy of heaven and hell, even for this earth, there was always a sense of alienation.
If it weren't for his friends, if it weren't for the fact that there was a familiar blue planet when he gazed in the universe, he wouldn't have gotten involved in it at all.
Standing on the top of the mountain, after stretching in the night wind, Li Mo was a little dazed for a while, not knowing where to go.
After studying the Void Fire in Ignorance, it will inevitably usher in a long construction process, and he doesn't have to worry about it. After a long period of magic and alchemical research, I also need to relax my nerves.
Go to Tony?
No, that guy and Reed are going crazy with their work, the Guardian of the Solar System program has already begun, and there is no time to rest at all.
Doctor Strange Strange?
That guy is also a busy man, and the departure of the Ancient One Master is a heavy blow to the earth, and protecting against threats in the earth's magical realm is a chore. He must have smelled the matter of heaven and hell this time, and maybe he was already investigating.
By the way, Li Mo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly answered Captain America's phone Steve, "Steve, is there any news from Matt?" ”
"He's still alive and in a chapel in Manhattan's former Hell's Kitchen." Captain America's voice paused, "He's not in a good state, you'd better go over and take a look." ”
"Okay, thanks." Li Mo hung up the phone and sighed faintly.
Half a year ago, Matt's law firm was attacked, his friend Fergue died, and Daredevil Matt also disappeared during the battle. Li Mo had something to do to go to Shandar, so he asked Steve to help him find it.
With a flash of white light, Li Mo teleported to Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan.
It's night, and under the colorful lights, you can see that the original Hell's Kitchen has completely changed, all the low-rise old buildings have disappeared, and all kinds of high-end office buildings and apartments have risen from the ground, surrounded by large green parks.
There are no dark and terrifying murderous alleys, no gangsters, prostitutes and drug dealers on the streets. The cancer that caused the New York City government headache was finally removed, and all the original residents were forced to move to Brooklyn and even further afield, and some simply left New York, where it was difficult to survive.
Hell's Kitchen's low chapel still stands.
It's still chaired by Father Langton, a very good old white man who often comes here to chat when he still has a shop in Hell's Kitchen.
After the two met, they exchanged pleasantries, and then, under the leadership of Father Langton, Li Mo met the Daredevil Matt. Murdoch.
Matt's body did have a problem, his keen senses became completely mundane, and he even needed to grope his way forward to walk.
He was alone in a dark hut, full of wine bottles, with a scruffy beard, and a look of decadence and loneliness.
"Man, long time no see." Li Mo's face was a little complicated.
Matt, who was lying on the bed, sat up slowly, and smiled helplessly, "Yes, the world has changed in a blink of an eye." ”
After chatting for a while, Matt told the story...
After the attack on the law firm and the death of his friend Fergue, an angry Matt directly found the base of the Hand and frantically launched a revenge operation.
In an explosion that almost ended in the same death, Matt was severely injured and traveled to the chapel to recuperate.
It took him a month to heal from his injuries, but he found that his keen sense of hearing and smell had completely disappeared, and he had become an ordinary person.
Although he was very uncomfortable after his senses degenerated, the death of his friend and his own woman was the reason for his complete defeat.
Even though he was used to not seeing the light, he felt like he was slipping into the abyss, surrounded by a lonely and deep darkness.
"I'm sorry I couldn't take care of little Lucas, how is he now?" Matt asked apologetically.
"Good." Li Mo smiled, "Working in an organization similar to the interstellar police, and having a good strength. ”
"That's good... That's good—" Matt's voice grew lower.
"Do you regret it?" Li Mo asked with a sigh.
Matt was silent for a moment, "I never regret doing those things that punish the wicked, I regret that I didn't stay away from my friends earlier and dragged them in." ”
"Let the past pass." Li Mo patted Matt's shoulder, "Don't worry, I can treat your injury." You need to make a choice, though. ”
"What choice?" Matt asked.
"I can bring your senses back to normal and even treat your eyes to give you back sight. But there are some things that can't be both. ”
"Your abilities don't come from genetic changes, but from the activation of the potential of other senses when you're blind," Li Mo explains. If the eye is treated, the way the brain receives information changes. Even if you intensify your workouts, your super sense of hearing and smell will slowly degrade or even disappear completely without you even noticing. ”
"So light and darkness, you have to choose a path."
"If you want to continue to wear your underwear and act chivalrous, I will only let you return to your original state, but that means that you have chosen a dark life. Maybe one day, I'll mourn at your tombstone. ”
"So I strongly advise you to choose the light." Li Mo said sincerely: "You don't have to be a night guardian, there are many things that can practice the goodness in your heart." I still have some property on Earth, and the demolition of an entire office building and about $90 million in savings, anyway, it's useless, so I might as well set up a fund to help blind children around the world, and I only trust you to be at the helm of the fund. I think it makes more sense. ”
After listening to Li Mo's words, after being silent for a while, Matt raised his head with a firm expression: "I choose darkness." ”
“f**k!” Li Mo was a little annoyed, and after turning around in place a few times, he knocked Matt unconscious with one punch.
…
I don't know how long it took, Matt woke up slowly, and all kinds of inaudible sounds suddenly poured into his ears like a tide.
He could hear the night breeze blowing through the iron fence outside the church, and he could even hear the snoring of a family sleeping five blocks away.
Li Mo had already left, and a thick stack of dollars was placed on the table.
Sighing, Matt lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, man. I have a reason why I have to choose the dark. ”
Then, he picked up a phone from his bed and dialed a number.
After hitting the other party three times in a row before picking it up, Matt asked with some expectation, "Frank, is that thing you said true?" ”
On the other end of the line was none other than Frank the Punisher. Casor, his deep voice sounded through the microphone: "Yes, I found a place to bet my life in the ring, to exchange souls for souls. If I win, I can resurrect my family, and you can resurrect your friends and women. ”
"Who is the other party?" Matt asked.
"I don't know, but it's true." The voice of the punisher Frank on the other end of the phone was extremely firm: "So whether it is an angel or a demon, in order to resurrect my family, I will definitely go." The conditions of the ring are two people, and the opponent will choose an opponent of similar strength. The only person I can find and trust is you. ”
"Where?"
"Las Vegas, Soul Casino."
"Okay." Matt's expression became firm: "I'm joining!" ”
…
Li Mo, who was in a somewhat unhappy mood, teleported back to the void of ignorance, and kept muttering as he walked in the truth laboratory: "It's just a fool, jump into the pit you choose, Lao Tzu won't care about you anymore." ”
Soon, he came to the second group and shouted at Perus, who was debugging the skeleton suspension cannon: "Regarding the restoration of the skull eyes of the ignorant land, I have thought of a plan, make two neutron stars to make a Dyson sphere eye, the name is: I want you to die 3000, and I will die if you stare at whom..."
