Chapter 55: New Abilities

Luke Cage's appearance is an unexpected surprise for Belle. Although she has long known that in the world of comics, Spider-Man has a close relationship with many New York street heroes, including Luke Cage and Daredevil Matt Murdoch, at least in this world, Peter Parker's main area of activity is Queens. The meddling in Hell's Kitchen is also a recent one.

Unexpectedly, his communication skills are extremely strong, and he has established a deep comradeship with Luke Cage in just a few months. After Belle "ruthlessly rejects" Peter's offer to work together to maintain order in Hell's Kitchen, the first helper he comes to mind is this invulnerable and strangely powerful black giant.

Out of a sense of kindness and justice rooted in his bone marrow, coupled with Hell's Kitchen and quite a few of his black brothers, Luke Cage accepted Spider-Man's offer without hesitation. If nothing happens, it's good, if there is really a riot, with his powerful tank, and Spider-Man, who can easily play with a sticky spider web, street crisis-level events can be easily solved.

Luke is also a little famous in Hell's Kitchen, and if he appears at a campaign parade for no reason, it will inevitably be forcibly interpreted as expressing his political stance. Luke, who only wants to live a stable life with his wife and children on the hot kang, will naturally try his best to avoid this kind of thing. However, he can't compare to Spider-Man, who has super senses and can fly on walls, and can monitor the whole audience while hiding on the rooftop, and Luke Cage has to use low-end, but very effective hoodie stealth.

But with his height and size, it is impossible to hide it completely, and both Belle and Jessica noticed him at the first time.

"I mean, where is your relationship with Luke now?"

Belle asked tentatively. After all, many things are different from what she remembers. If the two of them are still on top of friends, their lovers are not full, and they miss each other because of the love of fish and water, but they are in an embarrassing state when they meet because of the hatred of killing their wives, then everything is easy to say. If anything changes, then she has to remind Jessica that she has to work hard during working hours, that she has to wait until the end of her day to talk about love, and most importantly, don't tell Belle's plans because of the hellish excuse that lovers have to be honest with each other. After all, Luke and Spider-Man are good friends, and Belle can't let Peter know about these things unless they are necessary.

"What does this have to do with you? Besides, do you still need to ask such a trivial matter? I thought you'd have searched my memories for a long time. ”

Jessica didn't know that Luke Cage was found by Spider-Man, so naturally she didn't know what Belle was thinking, and thought it was just pure gossip, she happened to be a person who hated gossip very unceremoniously, so she went back very unceremoniously.

"I still have a lot of respect for your most basic privacy, neither invading your brain, nor staying awake in the middle of the night, squatting outside your window to watch who you sleep with."

"You came into my house this morning while I was asleep." Jessica said coldly.

"To tell you the truth, I plan to hire someone to clean your house thoroughly next time you are away, it's hard to imagine that there are people living in that house, and it's still a woman."

"I said Miss, have you never thought that not all women in this world are the same as you?"

"I forgot if you didn't say it," Belle slammed her head, "in the original premise of this story, I was a man. ”

"What did you say?" Jessica didn't understand what that meant.

"I didn't just talk to you, I told him." Belle pursed her lips and pointed to the sky, "To get down to business, where have you and Luke Cage progressed?" ”

It seems that this matter cannot be bypassed. Jessica kept a straight face and held back a sentence: "Old and dead don't get along." ”

"That's going to be easy. When it comes time for you to do something, you take care of yours, he takes care of him, and it will be solved quickly. ”

"Since you're so afraid of accidents, why don't you do it yourself?"

"I said Miss Rogue, did you never think that most women in this world are different from you?" Belle paraphrased Jessica's sentence pattern and complained, "Fighting is too violent for me." ”

……

Then again, even if the law and order is as bad as hell's kitchen, mass riots are not universal. The reason why Belle was sure that something would happen today not only called Jessica to carry out her first plan, but also thoughtfully informed Spider-Man to maintain order and prevent mass casualties, because she had developed a new ability.

In addition to psychic abilities, in terms of soul, Belle has finally made a breakthrough. Within a hundred meters of Belle's center, fragile souls will be weakly shocked, which not only exposes their thoughts, but also allows Belle's consciousness to be transmitted like a broadcast, and allows Belle's concentration to directly make one or some souls completely succumb, forming a casual effect.

She first became aware of this when she ordered Director Lee Baker, who had a broken arm, to keep quiet in Miami. Recently, she will always inadvertently hear the thoughts in the hearts of passers-by around her, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that when she encountered a bear child, she just casually complained "You are so powerful, why can't you go to heaven", the bear child really made a movement of wings in place, while jumping, while constantly fanning his arms.

After some experimentation and exercise, she figured out the conditions and children of her abilities, and mastered these two new abilities. The consumption of these two abilities is extremely small, almost negligible, but the target of action is limited to the passerby level, but where there is a character with a name and a surname, the consumption of doing so is very large, and it is still necessary to read thoughts and control actions through physical contact.

But even if it can only target passers-by, these two abilities are good enough. In addition to punishing bear children and brain-dead, anecdotes, private gossip, and intrigues on the streets and alleys can be known as long as she wants to. All she had to do was wander around gang-infested areas like Hell's Kitchen, and the information she gathered would be worth months of work for the NYPD. Several gangs of gangsters received orders to deliberately do things today, and such a thing naturally could not escape her detection, and it also attracted her attention.

It's actually easy to explain. The fact that innocent residents are attacking peaceful assemblies to run for legislature shows that law and order in New York has deteriorated to a certain extent, and the incompetence of the New York authorities and police will once again become a hot topic. And when the gangs are so arrogant that some of the more aggressive contenders will feel the pressure, it is only natural that a hard-line candidate like Wilson Fisk will be more popular with voters. Not to mention that his status as a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist has helped him to brush up on his presence enough, and all the conditions add up, it is only a matter of time before Mr. Fisk becomes a Fisk councilor.

So today's situation, according to Fisk's plan, is that voter rallies are attacked by mobs, the police are late, a large number of people are injured, but no one is killed. As a candidate himself, as long as he arrives in time, pretends to be very concerned about the situation, casually pays for the medical expenses of the injured person, and then makes a speech, condemns those whom the voters do not like, thanks the voters for their support, and paints a pie with impassioned enthusiasm, he will be done.

But with Belle's understanding of Kim Ji, this top gangster disdains to do such a boring little thing in person. No matter all organizational structures have such characteristics, the big boss is responsible for making money and thinking about ideas, and there are naturally small bosses below who take all kinds of little brothers to saddle up and follow. Jin, who is well versed in the three holes of the cunning rabbit, has prepared several stand-ins for himself that are almost fake, and this kind of thing, 99% of the time is likely to be a stand-in.

Belle's plan is to capture a stand-in alive. Since this person can be a stand-in for Jin Ji, it means that as long as he makes good use of it, he can also become Belle's stand-in.

After a few more hours, the mood of the crowd had risen to new heights by the timely appearance of the liquor vendors. Alcohol makes people lose their minds, and losing their minds creates chaos, and chaos leads to conflict.

The first conflict erupted violently between two drunks over boring "you stepped on my foot" or something like that.

The transition from outburst to uncontrollable is very short-lived.

"Although the entropy of the universe has been increasing, the degree of chaos here is still far beyond imagination."

Belle sat in the car, watching the excitement while eating fruit, and happily asked Jessica if she wanted to eat together.

"These are innocent people." Jessica said that the look in Belle's eyes was getting more and more unfriendly.

"These are stupid people, after reading a few articles that are purely venting and have nothing to do with the actual dry goods, they think why they have seen through the circle in Washington, supported a person they don't know at all, participated in a rally that was originally a trap, and I just watched from the side to see what was going on."

"You could have stopped this."

"As if you care about them," Belle said disappreciatively, "they're not good people, and neither of us has to pretend to be Captain America in front of each other, do we?" ”

When the scene was about to get out of hand, Peter Parker, who was watching from above, had already called 911. However, as soon as they heard that it was Hell's Kitchen, the police were a little hesitant, the speed was a little slower than usual, and they happened to catch the evening rush hour, and by the time they came, it had been more than an hour since Peter called the police.

So the task of controlling the situation still falls to Spider-Man and Luke Cage. The two have a clear division of labor, Luke relied on brute force to separate the conflicting crowd, and Spider-Man then used spider webs to mend the knife, by the way, to observe where there are people who take the initiative to stir up trouble, and need to focus on this kind of person, each of them has taken at least three punches from Luke.

Wilson Fisk's appearance appeared as if it had been specially calculated, and he appeared immediately after the police arrived. He looked like he was the mayor of New York.

"I'm so sad!"

The expression on that big face was extremely well done, and that was the case with the president's visit to the hurricane-stricken areas.

"I never thought this would happen on New York soil! At such times, someone should stand up, take responsibility, and control the overall situation. ”

Fisk's stand-in is completely into the play.
