Chapter Fifty-Eight: Conversation [Asking for Recommendations]

Ended the battle of the Midtown Circle Financial Company.

The four of them found a nearby Chinese restaurant as a temporary base.

"So, who are you, and why are you fighting these weirdly dressed ninjas at the Midtown Circle Finance Company?" Jessica raised her slender eyebrows and looked at the strange-looking people in front of her, especially the mask on Matt's face.

"The Defenders, a team that joins forces to fight the forces of the Hand Clan." Although Luke Cage and Ah Xing helped Matt successfully defeat the Hand Ninja entrenched in Midtown Circle Finance, the repeated battles still left some scars on his hands, and Matt gasped while holding the knife wound on his shoulder.

"Defenders? It sounds like the name of some third-rate gang. ”

"I said before that I should change the name." Turning his head to look at Matt, who was sitting in his chair, Luke Cage shrugged.

Xing: "No, I think it's pretty good." ”

Luke Cage: "Ah Xing, are you sure you really know what the defenders mean?" ”

Ah Xing: "I think, you just said that you just don't like to be nicknamed, just like the nicknames that your father gave you, you don't like it either." ”

Luke Cage: "That's because Daddy's nickname is really not good. ”

Ah Xing: "Since you have so many ideas, why didn't you bring it up when you first came up with the name?" ”

Luke Cage: "That's because I didn't want to be among you at the time. ”

Ah Xing: "Then why do you bring it up again now?" ”

Luke Cage: "That's because it's a bad name, and it's been complained about." ”

……

looked at Ah Xing and Luke Cage who were arguing with each other with interest for a while.

Jessica turned to Matt, who was tending to his wounds in his chair, and said, "It looks like your teammates have this disagreement with the name Defender. ”

"But at least in battle, they're all my reliable backs." After dealing with the wound on his arm, Matt clenched his fist and felt the effect of the injury on his movements, turned his face to Jessica and asked, "What about you, who are you, I don't think a private detective can do what you do." ”

"Perhaps, I'm the special one." Pouting at Matt, Jessica immediately explained the reason why she appeared in the Midtown Circle Finance Company: "I recently encountered a threat because of a case, and after tracking it down, I found that all of this was related to an organization called the Hand Club. ”

"You know about the Hand Club, it's not something that private investigators have access to." Matt asked, frowning.

"I have my own channel." Jessica said mysteriously.

"In fact, your so-called information channel is right next to you."

In the antique shop, Li Ran observed the situation in the Chinese restaurant through his clone, and couldn't help but silently add in his heart when he heard Jessica's words.

……

"I've heard that your plans haven't been going well lately, Madame Gao."

Looking at the battle marks left by the defenders and others, a thin silver-haired old man came to Mrs. Gao's side and said in her hoarse and deep voice.

"I was negligent." Mrs. Gao was on crutches, her eyes swept over the situation of the financial company in the middle city circle, and she paused at the big hole in the wall: "I thought it was just a few little mice that could be solved casually, but it turned out to be a big trouble." ”

"Time is running out, and I can feel that the strength maintained in my body is gradually fading."

The thin old man reminded Mrs. Gao beside him: "It seems that time has found us again." ”

"Rest assured, my people have found clues about Iron Fist in Cambodia, and we will continue to live for a long time."

For centuries, instead of making Mrs. Gao and them let go of life and death, on the contrary, they were even more reluctant to face the arrival of death, and the original purpose of the establishment of the Hand Club was also the existence of the five people in order to continue to live immortally.

"Hopefully, all the best." The thin old man nodded, looked at everything in the Midtown Circle Financial Company, and said, "Do you need it, I'll help you solve these guys." ”

"No, I don't." Shaking her head, Mrs. Gao turned around slowly on her crutches, and said as she walked: "Sometimes, there are some things that you don't need to do by yourself, and it just so happens that I know that there are people like us, who also hate these troublemakers. ”

"You mean...... Kim and? ”

……

"So, what else did your channels tell you?"

In the Chinese restaurant, while eating not very authentic Chinese food, Luke Cage asked Jessica.

"More than you think...... Is this shrimp? Turning to Luke Cage in reply, Jessica suddenly pointed to a dish in front of her.

"No, it's supposed to be a type of pork dish." Next to him, Matt replied calmly.

"How do you know, you can't even see?!" Even though Matt's extraordinaryness had been clear in the previous battles, Jessica couldn't help but be surprised when she heard him lightly distinguish the difference between the dishes.

"An instinct that when your eyes can't see, the abilities of the other senses will be magnified and replaced by the functions of the eyes."

"I know that this ability is somewhat similar to the heart eye in our martial arts." Ah Xing spoke, showing a sense of presence.

"You're all weirdos." Glancing over the few people in front of her, Jessica couldn't help but say, and then laughed at herself: "Of course, I'm the same." ”

After restraining her emotions for a while, Jessica began to tell the news she had received from Li Ran about the Hand Clan: "As far as I know, the Hand is a fairly old and evil organization, they have a very magical power, they came to New York with an evil purpose, and recruited a group of people, and the parties in my case disappeared because of them, although I don't know what their purpose is. ”

Luke Cage: "Can you tell me what magical powers they have?" ”

Jessica: "Does immortality count?" ”

“……”

Jessica's words silenced the two present, and although Matt had been fighting the Hand since the past, it was equally unclear that they had such mysterious and terrifying powers.

"Immortality is possible." Luke Cage shook his head, a little hard to accept.

"It's impossible for a human to block a blade with his body or kick a wall."

Wait a minute, what's going on with this sense of déjà vu?

Jessica's words, hearing Li Ran's ears, were inexplicably familiar.
