Chapter 6: Celia's Lucky Elixir

That evening, Luke's adoptive father, Fudge, never returned home. At ten o'clock in the evening, Luke had already fallen asleep when he heard a ruffled noise downstairs.

He got up and went downstairs to investigate, and saw the wounded Matt Murdoch, being seated in the living room with Fudge and Karen in his arms. Daredevil was covered in blood, and was obviously not lightly injured.

Luke stands by the stairs and hears Fudge and Karen arguing fiercely.

"No, you can't take it to the hospital, it's absolutely not okay. Those people will do the trick, and the whole neighborhood will be controlled by those people. Fudge said in a somewhat agitated voice.

"But he bled a lot! If he doesn't get treatment, he'll die! Karen argued.

"I know, I know! Let me think about it......" Fudge spun around a few steps and said, "That's all there is to it, Karen, go get the medicine kit." We had to take out the bullets from his body first. ”

"Oh my God." Karen covered her mouth in a slightly distracted manner, and hurried to get the medicine kit.

At this time, Matt Murdoch, who was still wearing the Daredevil operation outfit, was unconscious, lying motionless on the sofa like a dead man. From Luke's position, it can be seen that Daredevil has at least three gunshot wounds on his body! It's bleeding nonstop.

Luke heard Fudge muttering to himself, "I was the one who troubled him...... I shouldn't have gone with him to that underground casino that day. Roulette Casino is the darkest and dirtiest place in Hell's Kitchen! ”

Fudge hung his head in frustration, he felt useless, sorry for Matt.

Karen came back with the medicine kit at this time, touched Fudge's back and comforted, "It's not your fault. They're dealing with you, and Matt won't allow them to do that. Let's help Matt stop the bleeding. ”

At this time, Karen saw Luke standing on the stairs, and she didn't know how long he had been standing there. She hurriedly walked over, forced a smile to herself, and urged, "It's okay, honey, go to bed." ”

Luke didn't say anything, glanced over to the couch again, and went upstairs.

Back in his room, closing the door, Luke sighed. He knew it was going to happen. Sooner or later questions.

Judging from a few simple words of communication between his adoptive parents, Daredevil must have been shot during tonight's operation.

Among the countless positive and negative characters in the Marvel world, Daredevil's strength is actually not outstanding, and can only be counted in the middle. Aside from his extraordinarily keen sense of hearing and physical touch, Daredevil's physical fitness is still considered to be in the normal human category. It doesn't get a full body boost, blow resistance and recovery like some superheroes, such as Spider-Man.

is still a mortal fetus, which is arguably Daredevil's biggest weakness.

As a vigilante fighting crime, it is enough to deal with ordinary thugs and criminals. But when dealing with members of the New York underground gangsters who are armed with weapons and even hot weapons as the norm, especially when fighting more with less, the drawbacks will be exposed.

That's what happened tonight.

In a place like Hell's Kitchen, it can't be simply called "dangerous".

Hell's Kitchen is an area on the west coast of Manhattan Island, New York, also known as Midtown West. In its early years, it was a famous slum on the island of Manhattan, mainly populated by the working class of Irish immigrants, and was known for its chaotic and backward living quality, serious ethnic conflict and high crime rate.

Today's Hell's Kitchen can be said to be a place where gangsters gather. The Russian mafia, the Japanese Gokudo, the Triads, the Mexican Gang, and other gang organizations are all hiding here, carrying out shady criminal activities.

It's a mix of fish, and the law and order is very poor, or almost none, and it's not for nothing to call it Hell's Kitchen.

This later became the territory of the villain Kim and actually controlled it.

In its heyday, King controlled nearly seventy percent of the nation's criminal enterprise. Drug trafficking, smuggling, gun reselling, casinos, extortion, human trafficking, murder and arson, all of which can be described as evil.

It's just that gold and black and white are both black and white, and they even have connections in Congress, which shows how difficult it is to deal with.

Faced with this situation, one can imagine how difficult it is for Daredevil to fight alone.

It wasn't until later, when Spider-Man, Punisher, Tekken, Jessica Jones and other heroes joined the criminal syndicate that fought against King, that this situation was alleviated.

Right now, it can be said that Daredevil is the most difficult period.

Around him, there were only two or three friends who knew his identity helping him, and they were all ordinary people. Among them was Luke's adoptive father, Fudge Nelson.

To help or not to help? After hesitating for a moment, Luke sighed: "Forget it, let's help." "For Daredevil, he is still more respectful.

Aside from Daredevil's civilian heroism of punishing the strong and helping the weak, Matt Murdoch is also very kind to him as a child. Didn't think anything out of the ordinary about Fudge and Karen because he was adopted by him.

Moreover, from the conversation of his adoptive parents just now, he could tell that his adoptive father, Fudge, seemed to be involved in this matter.

In this way, the home will be in danger.

You know, those gang members don't know what it means to respect the old and love the young. Here, it is not uncommon for gangsters to seek revenge and kill people.

Luke decides to take matters into his own hands.

He didn't dare to say that his strength would definitely be stronger than Daredevil's now, but he had some innate advantages.

"Are you finally going to do it? I feel like I'm getting my blood pumping! The glory of the apostles will spread tonight, Hallelujah!! "Lotus has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"You're ectothermic, you can't have blood."

"It's just a metaphor, Sao Nian. Aren't you excited, not excited? Lotus said excitedly.

"It's too expensive to exchange dollars for tokens, and $50 can open a magic box, which is simply a money grab!" Luke ignored it, he was going to use the proceeds from selling burgers to see if he could draw something like a healing potion from the box.

At least save Uncle Matt's life lying downstairs.

Even if he hadn't rescued him, Daredevil wouldn't have died. But he wasn't sure if his presence would cause some butterfly effect. If Daredevil burps right under his nose, it will be a lot of fun.

Luke directly drew ten times in a row, spent $500, and before the money he earned was hot, he returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.

There are constant extraction prompts in my head.

However, the results were slightly disappointing for him.

He didn't get the healing potion he wanted, and this time, the ten consecutive draws guaranteed rewards were not skill books, but there was something else.

Looking at the small bottle that appeared in his hand, Luke's face changed: "Celia's lucky potion? What's the use of that? ”

"It can temporarily double your luck in 1 hour." Lotus said.

"Really? Is the effect really so amazing? Luke was amazed.

"You can try it and jump from the window. If there are no fractures, it should be easy to use. "Loters' advice is as dark and unreliable as ever.

"Forget it......" Luke pouted.

Luck is a mysterious thing, and Luke has never believed in his own luck.

This is the realization of being a non-chief.

Luke suddenly smiled again and said, "Like you said, you have to try it to find out." After all, it is produced by the system. I had a bold idea......"

"Did you agree to blow up Stark Tower?" Lotus said happily.

"No, I'm trying to say that since I've decided to take matters into my own hands, where to start is crucial."

According to Luke's estimate, this matter will not be solved so easily.

On the other side, there is the villain Jin Ji, not to mention that Jin Ji has helpers around him, and he also has allies. Like the super assassin bullseye, Hand and Hui and Lady Gao, they are not what he can deal with at the moment.

Luke plans to test the depth of his opponent first, and first explore the reality and reality.

At least first find out, who is he going to face?

He decided to act tonight.

"Maybe, we can make a profit tonight?"

From his adoptive father's words, he got a key clue: a roulette casino.

As for whether Daredevil, who lost too much blood downstairs, would hang up without the help of healing potions, Luke thinks that after all, he is also a person with the aura of the protagonist, so he shouldn't be so weak.

Should...... Right?

He looked in the mirror and frowned slightly.

This is him in the mirror: just 1 meter tall, with a young face, slender arms, and a proper little Zhengtai. With his image, let alone a casino, he can't even enter a bar. What to do? Looks like it needs to be disguised a bit.

He plans to take a tour of the roulette casino, both to verify the effect of Celia's lucky potion, to see if he can solve his tight cash problem, and at the same time to find out information. Kill two birds with one stone.

"What a genius idea!"

Luke's disguise is simple and crude: he puts on a children's mask with Iron Man's face. A voice changer is worn under the mask. This gadget is available everywhere in New York, is very cheap, and is almost standard for vigilantes.

Luke tried to say a few words, but found that his voice became so low that he could not make out the voice of a child at all.

Then he changed out of a children's outfit, a plaid shirt, and a casual pair of slacks. Lotus climbed onto his shoulder, and Luke told him to disguise himself as a plastic ornament and not speak if he had nothing to do.

As a result, Luke's whole temperament has changed drastically. It looks a lot more mature. He looked in the mirror and was very satisfied, and that was what he wanted.

Climb through the window and quietly leave your adoptive parents' house. It's a long way to Hell's Kitchen from here in Queens, but it's hard for Luke. Skateboard in hand, I have the world. Walk you~

It takes a lot of guts to make trouble in an underground casino full of gangs.

That kind of place is full of fish and snakes, and people who dare to go in and gamble are not characters to mess with. For ordinary people, it is extremely dangerous there, and ordinary people have not had time to hide.

Luke is gradually moving away from the realm of ordinary people.

Now, a year after his rebirth, he is already a master of inch boxing, and if he is given a sword, he can still use the drawing sword. In the past few days, he has taken the time to make a lot of shock grenades and put them in the storage space. No matter how bad it is, he can't beat it and still has a mental qi mask, and he can retreat with his whole body.

is the so-called artist who is bold, these are the confidence of him to dare to come to this kind of place to do things.

It's not hard to find this underground black casino called a roulette casino.

Opening a casino is one of the important sources of income for Jinhe. This casino has a high market share in Hell's Kitchen and is quite a lively place, and it is favored by all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods.

For a number of well-known reasons, the New York police can only turn one eye open and one eye to it. This made it easy for Luke to find two black young men on the side of the road who were sneakily selling poisoned milk powder, and inquired about the location of the casino.

"Hey, kid, this is not the place for you." At the door of the casino, Luke was unceremoniously stopped by a black doorman.

"Keep your dog's eyes open and see clearly. If you dare to call me like that, I swear, I'll stick your tongue into your filthy! A low, hoarse voice came from under Iron Man's mask, with an exasperated tone.

"I'm sorry, sir. I do not know...... Please come in. The black janitor immediately gave him the way to get out of the way.

"Hmph." Luke snorted coldly and walked into the casino generously.

This is the innate advantage: he can disguise himself as a dwarf. At this point, it seems that the Witch can't do it, right?
