Chapter 17: The Fairy Amulet
"Good morning, George." At the New York City Police Department, a black police officer greeted the middle-aged man who had just entered the door, the middle-aged man had worked in the New York City Police Department for more than 20 years, and he had been conscientious, and today was the first time he came to work so late.
"Ah~ah, you're early, Powell." George Stacy, who was still yawning, walked into the office of the New York City Police Department with a sleepy face, he got up a little late today, he sent his baby daughter Gwen Stacy to school, and then found that he was almost late and ran several red lights in a row before he arrived at the bureau.
In all fairness, this is probably the day he has broken the most this year, so the first thing he does when he goes to work is to quietly use his little privilege to settle some "innocuous things".
George Stacy tidied up his somewhat messy outfit in the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror, he was only in his forties, and his head was already mixed with a lot of gray hair, and his face did not have the high-spirited look when he first entered the police station, but a pair of still bright eyes flashed with wisdom, and he immediately became full of energy at the thought of adoring his daughter's expectations of being a good policeman.
George is a native New Yorker. Growing up, he witnessed the dark side of the dark corners of New York City, and he aspired early on to change that by growing up to be a city police officer.
In the United States, there are generally four types of police: federal, state, and city/county, and these different police officers have no relationship between the leader and the led, are not subordinate to each other, and are independent of each other, but the division of labor is different, and sometimes they will cooperate with each other and jointly handle cases.
As a city police officer, George is mainly responsible for enforcing the law in the city, maintaining urban social order, and providing services to the society, including traffic, public security, patrol, detection and other aspects in the jurisdiction, from catching fugitives with guns, punishing traffic violations, to saving kittens from trees, basically his scope of work.
But after 20 years, he knew that a well-dressed businessman was actually the mastermind behind a gang, but he had been unable to arrest him for various reasons.
He still remembers one thing, it was a little boy in ragged clothes and yellow muscles, because he was so hungry, his father went to the convenience store to steal a hot dog, just so that he had to rush out of the door, but he didn't expect that the boy's father was unfortunately hit by a rushing truck when he ran across the road and died on the spot.
The little boy witnessed the whole process of his father's death, his eyes were dull, his expression was blank, and he turned his gaze from his father who fell to the ground to George, "Why don't you chase so many big bad guys in there, and my father just stole a loaf of bread." ”
"Just stole a loaf of bread......," the boy fainted from hunger, and although he later learned from his colleague that he had been sent to an almshouse, he had never seen him, and George knew that he did not dare to meet the boy's inquiring eyes, and that he was afraid that he would ask the question of why again.
Since then, George has been fighting criminals everywhere like crazy, as long as he finds evidence, no matter what his identity is, he will go to them one by one to trouble, and he has offended many people for this, although he also knows that those people will be let go in a few days, but he still refuses to change.
Similarly, his post has not been touched for more than ten years, and the nickname "Mad Dog George" has spread.
It wasn't until a few years ago that he caught his attention that he was affectionately known as "Daredevil" by the people of New York City, who was often haunted at night and specialized in crime, wearing an all-dark red leather coat, wearing a horned hood, and hanging several blind bamboos that could turn into throwing knives and sticks around his waist.
After knowing such a person, George spent a lot of time and energy trying to gain his trust—using the list of criminals he had gathered, and finally, making contact with him, because George realized that there were people who could not be punished through proper means.
Since then, a tacit understanding has gradually been reached between the two, and the NYPD are surprised to find that "George, the mad dog" has settled down and stopped going around looking for trouble with the gangsters, but the gangsters are not happy for long, because they are targeted by another, more difficult guy - Daredevil.
George pretended to settle down, but in fact secretly had been using his position to provide information to Daredevil, including the residences of the criminals, as well as the time and place where the transaction might be completed, and then attached their details and the bad things that everyone had done, while Daredevil targeted one by one according to the information provided by George, and he never showed mercy to the most heinous people, he was not a fledgling person like Lin Sen, and all of a sudden, the gangsters in New York City were divided a lot.
It's no wonder why Lin Sen felt like the fifth and sixth blocks were separated when he came out yesterday, and he didn't know that Daredevil had become a serious competitor for his "customers".
George grinded a cup of coffee in his office, and after a little refreshment, he was ready to go out, although he didn't have to take the initiative to go to the gang, but there were a lot of thugs he still had to take care of, especially the five and sixth blocks.
But just as he was about to go out, one of his officers walked in with a strange look on his face, "Sir, something seems to have happened in the fifth and sixth blocks. ”
George sighed in his heart, picked up the coffee that was still warm and took two sips to calm down, his first reaction was that there must be two more damn gangsters fighting, hoping that it would not be too many deaths, "What's wrong?" Is it the Wilson Gang or the Kennedy Gang, or the Madilon Gang? ”
"Uh...... No, it was a dozen gangsters who called the police themselves, and they were beaten. Thinking of the scene where more than a dozen thugs were beaten and called the police, the police officers who came couldn't help but show a hint of schadenfreude on their faces.
“……”
"Oh?" Now it was George's turn to be surprised, he knew that these were not Daredevil's handiwork, if it was Daredevil's handiwork, he would greet him, it seems that there is another crime-fighting hero in New York City, he knows what these gangsters think, maybe they can still receive hospital treatment if they call the police, so George doesn't want to accept it at all, you must know that the money used to treat them has their own taxes! He turned his conversation to the other side, "Did you find anything?" ”
According to the information collected by the police, George has no other news except that he knows that the other party is a person with strong melee fighting ability, no way, most of the gangsters were knocked out after two or three clicks, how can he know something else.
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
"Chief, where are you going?"
"Fifth Block."
It's not for nothing that George wants to find Lin Sen, although there is a connection between himself and Daredevil, but every time Daredevil takes the initiative to contact him, he can't contact him, but as of today, Daredevil hasn't contacted him for almost half a month, if it's him, it's okay, but what if the gangsters in New York join forces to deal with Daredevil? And this mysterious figure who has just emerged may be able to help himself.
******
At this time, Lin Sen didn't know that someone was trying to contact him, and he was struggling, not knowing whether to spend those 15 hero points.
Last night, I completed eight heroic deeds, only to get 14 hero points, the most one is three hero points, the least is only one, except for the first double two hero points, one point and two points are three times, but the most thrilling is the last time to stop a robbery, I didn't expect the man to take out a gun, fortunately he reacted quickly, but after the completion of the three hero points, think about it is not a loss, but when he thought that the thing would cost 15 hero points, he hesitated.
When Lin Sen came home last night, the time was just past zero o'clock, and when he checked the hero points of the system, he found that the number of virtual battle victories every day was unfinished, so he clicked on it with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and then tragically found that after completing the number of victories, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and he was listless early this morning.
At this moment, the system popped up a prompt: There is an existing newbie privilege gift fairy talisman, which requires 15 hero points, does the host buy it?
The fairy talisman necklace is an ordinary ornament in the hands of the gods and goddesses, blessed with the blessings of the fairies, and can nourish the soul of the gods when worn with you, make people fall into a deep sleep state faster, and help the host recover physical and mental strength better and faster.
Lin Sen thought about it, in order to brush up on hero points and complete the task of this virtual battle, it is estimated that he will have to sleep very late every day, this fairy talisman is exactly what he needs, so it seems that he will not lose money if he buys it, so he quickly found a no-man's corner and bought the fairy talisman.
