Luke Cage has always tried to hide what makes him special.

This includes working two jobs at the same time, not getting involved in anything dangerous, not provoking gangs, not doing bad things, and doing everything possible to avoid revealing your identity.

However, he didn't expect that the outsider who suddenly came to Harlem and appeared in the barbershop would so easily point out his biggest secret.

At this moment, Luke Cage thought a lot.

Even, he had some suspicions that Li Ran was sent by the private detention center where he was held to arrest him.

"Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Ah Xing, and I'm from Penglai, a secret realm in the East."

[Legend from Luke Cage +85]

[Legend from Henry +40]

Sure enough, the background setting has to be thrown out one by one to have an effect, and all the brains are released but lose the shocking effect of foreshadowing.

Looking at the considerable legend on the data panel, Li Ran was slightly distracted, but he quickly retracted his thoughts. After all, what he wanted was more than just the legends in front of him.

"Dongfang, Penglai?"

With this somewhat tongue-twisting name in his mouth, Luke Cage looked at him as if he had reacquainted Li Ran.

It's still the same red sweatshirt with the funny hairstyle cut by my father, but it can't hide the mysterious aura exuded by his body.

"Daddy thinks he's lived so long and he's seen enough." Henry shook his head: "But apparently, I still have too little knowledge. ”

"Ah Xing, what kind of place is Penglai in your mouth?"

"Penglai is a fairy island located in the East China Sea in Chinese legends, we live on Penglai Island, maintain the principle of seclusion, unless in very special circumstances, otherwise it will rarely appear in front of mortals."

Since he wants to throw away the setting, he naturally has to go higher and say, how to introduce it, so even if there is only Li Ran in the whole Penglai at present, he still put on a mysterious posture and swore to Luke Cage and Dad in the barbershop.

"Very special circumstances?"

Luke Cage keenly noticed the content of Li Ran's words, thinking of what he said in the barbershop yesterday, and his heart made waves: "Could it be that everything you said yesterday is true?!" ”

"There really is a fire cloud evil god." Thinking of Li Ran's previous name for this name, Luke Cage couldn't help frowning: "The Ultimate Killer King." "That's not a nice name.

"Of course, do you think I'm lying!"

Secretly Luke Cage in his heart, Li Ran had a surprised expression on the surface.

In the barbershop, Luke Cage and Daddy looked at each other, and it was easier to be convinced than to believe the so-called fire cloud evil god that suddenly appeared, and it was naturally a lie.

"Ah Xing, it's not that Dad, I don't believe your words, it's just that it's Penglai again, and it's Huoyun Evil God all of a sudden, it's really a little ......" Henry's words were not finished, but the meaning was quite obvious.

Although he has already seen the extraordinary, invulnerable skin and superhuman strength that Luke Cage has shown, he has undoubtedly been very powerful.

However, these abilities are not so important compared to what Li Ran said.

In the face of the doubtful attitude shown by Daddy Henry, Li Ran can naturally understand, after all, before showing enough evidence, no matter how perfect the setting is, it is just empty words.

Nodding, Li Ran's gaze swept over the barber shop, and then settled on the vending machine in the corner.

"There's no direct evidence, but it's ......"

……

Harlem Paradise.

Nightclubs during the day are devoid of the lights at night, replaced by an air of gang violence.

'Rattlesnake' Willis Stryker stood in the ballroom on the first floor, looked at the men gathered in front of him, and then turned his head to signal to the thugs behind him.

Nodding, one of the thugs turned around and pulled a bruised-nosed figure out of the corner.

Staggering to be pushed out, Shamik spat out a mouthful of blood and opened his swollen eyes to look at the crowd gathered in Harlem's paradise, apparently he hadn't had a good night last night.

"," said Willis, who reached out and patted his scarred cheek, "You should be glad that you were lucky not to be fed to the dogs, so on the rest of the way, if I find out that you are lying to me a little bit, I promise that I will definitely let you know what it feels like to live rather than die." ”

"Don't worry, everything I said is true."

After a night's encounter, it was clear that Shamik had changed a little, and he replied with a bloody grin in the face of Willis's threat.

"It's for the best."

Pushing the other party's head away, Willis ignored Shamik, who fell to the ground, turned to his subordinates in front of him and shouted: "As we all know, Harlem has been our black people's kingdom since the past, and a paradise that makes white people fearful. However, just yesterday, there was a guy who didn't know the height of the sky, challenged our authority and hurt our brothers, so, brothers for the brand new Harlem! ”

"For the brand new Harlem!"

"Let's go!!"

……

"Ah Xing, are you sure, this is where you want to show the legendary Penglai?"

In the back alley of the barber shop, Dad looked at Li Ran, who was carrying a can of drink, with an indifferent expression, looked left and right, and asked with a subtle expression.

"That's right."

Li Ran nodded and took the last sip of the drink in the can in his hand.

"Penglai is too far away from New York, I can't get it in front of your eyes." Turning his head to look at Luke Cage and Henry, the barbershop daddy standing next to him, Li Ran explained seriously.

As a mysterious Penglai that currently only exists in the setting, Li Ran naturally can't create it out of thin air, but he also has his own methods.

Although he can't conjure up Penglai, he can indirectly prove Penglai's existence through his performance.

"But there are other ways I can prove that everything I say is true."

As he spoke, Li Ran let go of his hand holding the can.

The right leg took a few steps back, and then the powerful Vajra leg suddenly exerted force, accompanied by a whistling sound of breaking through the air, and the unmistakable kick hit the falling can.

"That's my proof."

Li Ran raised his hand and pointed to the cans that pierced the sky, not knowing where he was flying to, and turned his head to Luke Cage and Daddy who were standing behind him.
