"What's it like to be a superhero, Wonder Man?"

Harlem, Barbershop.

Daddy teased his barber tools while teasing Luke Cage, who was cleaning the store.

"Dad, I said it before, your nickname is not good." Faced with the persistent daddy's ridicule, Luke Cage shook his head helplessly.

"Honestly," seeing Luke Cage's reaction, Dad smiled, but couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "I have never been able to understand Luke, obviously he has become a superhero, why do you choose to continue to work in the barbershop." ”

"Superheroes are human too, daddy."

Perhaps because of his own experience, even after becoming a member of the Defenders, Luke Cage still struggled to maintain his original life.

"In addition to being chivalrous, we still have our own lives to live."

Sweeping the hair off the ground and putting it in a garbage bag, Luke Cage replied silently, "You can't count on it, we save the world every day." ”

"Well, you're right."

Shrugged his shoulders, Daddy looked convinced.

With a smile on his dark face, Luke Cage reached out and lifted the garbage bag on the ground easily: "By the way, Dad, I have to go back early, Mrs. Connie has told me several times, saying that she has prepared authentic Chinese food for me to taste." Although he still sticks to his own pace of life, Luke Cage's current identity is no longer ordinary.

As a member of the Defenders League, he has worked hard to keep Harlem safe, and has been recognized by the majority of its residents.

Among them was his landlord, Mrs. Connie.

Pick up the trash in your hand and go to the bin at the back door of the barbershop.

Bang Dong –

Luke Cage turned to leave when a movement from around the corner caught his attention.

Throwing away the garbage in his hand, Luke Cage looked at the dark corner and subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows: "Who is where?" ”

“……”

The other party did not answer, but the voice kept coming.

This strange scene aroused Luke Cage's vigilance, and without much hesitation, he strode towards the corner with his invulnerable body.

As he got closer, Luke Cage finally confirmed the situation in the corner.

I saw that in the corner, a vague back figure was facing him, with his head down and not knowing what he was doing.

Confirming the situation, Luke Cage breathed a sigh of relief, but his inner vigilance did not let go too much: "Sir, what are you doing, this is not the place you should stay." ”

Luke Cage spoke, but the figure in the corner still didn't react much.

Didn't you hear that?

Luke Cage frowned at the figure's unresponsive appearance, and his footsteps moved closer to the corner.

However, the next second he was forward, the figure in the corner who had not reacted in the slightest suddenly let out a hoarse roar, and suddenly turned around and pounced on Luke Cage.

It was also at this time that Luke Cage finally saw the appearance of the figure clearly, a figure covered with wounds all over his body, and even his face was rotten, unable to see his eyes and nose clearly, and full of rancid smell.

Because the action of the figure rushing over was too sudden, and the appearance was a little too terrifying, even Luke Cage couldn't react for a while, and was directly cut a claw mark on his body by the pounced figure without noticing.

"What's wrong, Luke!"

Noticing the movement at the back door of the barbershop, Dad hurriedly ran out.

"It's nothing, Daddy."

The figure's attack cut through Luke Cage's clothes, but it couldn't hurt the invulnerable body underneath.

Frowning and reaching out to grab the other party's neck, Luke Cage looked at the other party's ugly appearance and said to the father who ran out: "It's just that I've encountered some trouble, and now the situation is a little dangerous, maybe you should avoid it." ”

"Hey, you're a daddy, am I a kid?"

Luke Cage's persuasion caused Daddy's dissatisfaction, and instead of following his wishes, he raised his eyebrows and leaned closer to the corner: "When you were still breastfeeding, Daddy, I was already fighting with people with guns, and I encountered more dangers than you soaked in girls." ”

As he spoke, Daddy had already come to Luke Cage's side, and when he saw the figure he was holding in his hand, the original exaggerated expression on his face suddenly froze: "OMG, what is this?" ”

"I don't know, but obviously, this guy in front of me can no longer be called a human."

The strength of the figure struggling is great, but there is obviously some gap compared to Luke Cage, who has superhuman strength, and he looks down at the rotten figure in front of him, and the brow on his face is deeply furrowed.

The palm that grabbed his neck began to increase in strength, but the figure seemed to be unresponsive and continued to attack him wildly.

"Corpse man, this guy's name."

Just when Luke Cage was at a loss for what was happening in front of him, a thick voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, I saw a middle-aged man in a dark brown coat appear at the back door of the barbershop.

The man had a gray beard, a resolute expression, and a conspicuous scar on his weather-beaten face.

"Monsters that have been reinfected by infected vampires rely on gnawing corpses to survive, unless their bodies are completely shattered, they can still survive even if their bodies are decomposed."

"Corpses?"

Luke Cage frowned and listened to the man's explanation, then turned his head to look at the rotten figure in his hand, and already believed the other party in his heart.

However, he already had doubts in his heart: "Who are you and why do you know these things." ”

"My name is Joseph Joestar, and I'm a vampire hunter." Faced with Luke Cage's question, the man calmly replied.

[Legend from Luke Cage +155]

[Legend from Henry +45]

"Vampire Hunter! Are you saying that there really are vampires in this world? ”

The words of Joseph Joestar, who calls himself a vampire hunter, make Daddy look surprised.

"Of course," Joseph Joestar nodded without hesitation, "The corpse man that the tall man grabbed in his hand is the best proof that he represents a vampire." ”

While speaking, Joseph Joestar walked up to Luke Cage, looked at the corpse man who was grabbed by him, and raised his eyebrows: "To be honest, although I have captured and killed countless vampires and infected corpses, it is the first time I have seen a person like you who easily blocks the attack of corpses, although corpses are far inferior to vampires in terms of strength and speed, but for ordinary people, they are still very dangerous and terrifying existences." ”

"I'm just a little bit special."

In the face of Joseph Joestar's amazement, Luke Cage instinctively made a modest gesture.

"I see you, but I don't know it's so simple to be special." Glancing meaningfully at Luke Cage, Joseph Joestar withdrew his gaze and looked at the corpse man struggling in his hand: "Of course, it is still a little difficult to kill the corpse in this way alone. ”

As he spoke, Joseph Joestar raised his palm and shouted softly at the corpse in front of him: "Ripple Walking~"

The palm of the hand fell on the body of the corpse.

Luke Cage felt a strange energy emanating from Joseph Joestar's body, and it didn't reach the corpse's body.

Then I saw that the movements of the corpse who were originally struggling instantly froze, and white smoke turned into charcoal.

[Legend from Luke Cage +155]

[Legend from Henry +45]

"The weakness of the corpse is as obvious as that of a vampire, and they are afraid of the power of sunlight and ripples."

Putting away his palm, Joseph Joestar looked at the charred corpse in Luke Cage's hand and explained.

Ripple, a fantastic ability in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, has a sun-like effect and can cause devastating damage to vampires.

And the ripple power used by Joseph Joestar at this moment comes from the ultimate creature Kaz.

As the ultimate creature, Kaz is able to control the cells in his body at will, so he can naturally learn the power of ripples with ease.

Releasing the palm of the hand holding the corpse and watching the charcoal shatter into pieces, Luke Cage smelled the burning smell that filled the tip of his nose and forced himself to calm down.

The scene in front of him, whether it was a corpse or a vampire hunter, shocked the superhero from the streets, after all, a quarter of an hour ago, he was still thinking about tasting the authentic Chinese food prepared by Lady Connie, but now he has little appetite.

"Why are the corpses in Harlem?"

As a regional superhero, Luke Cage doesn't have a wide range of activities, but it is precisely because of this that he knows his Harlem very well, and knows that before today, he has never heard of the existence of corpses or vampires in Harlem.

"The appearance of corpses represents only one thing."

Luke Cage's question was exactly what Joseph Joestar was aiming for, and he immediately replied to the other party's words: "That is, vampires have appeared in New York." In fact, that's why I came to New York, because I got a clue in Norway that his servant had been seen in New York in order to capture the legendary vampire king. ”

"The King of Vampires?"

Joseph Joestar's words deepened the worry in Luke Cage's heart.

"If everything you say is true, then the incident about vampires is no longer something that I can deal with alone, we need to use the power of the Defenders Alliance."

"Defenders?"

Hearing Luke Cage's answer, Joseph Joestar's face cooperated with a puzzled expression.

"What's that?"

Luke Cage: "It's a superhero group. ”

……

"How's it going?"

Hell's Kitchen, Golden and Mansion.

Hiding his massive body in the shadows, Kim discovered that after being transformed into a vampire, he could still see everything in front of him, even in the darkness.

For him, darkness is no longer an obstacle, but the best cover.

"We have succeeded in converting the vast majority of people into corpses."

In front of Jin Ju, a subordinate who also had sharp teeth bowed his head and replied.

After using the stone ghost face to become a vampire, Jin did not hesitate to infect his subordinates into vampires, and ordered them to use their abilities to continuously infect, and soon formed an army of corpses. Now, this army of corpses who are not afraid of life and death fill the building, and it has become the most terrifying force under his hands.

"Order all infected corpses to wear masks and protective suits."

As a vampire, Kim is well aware of his weaknesses, and the stone ghost face gives him strength and life beyond humans, but at the cost of not being able to walk in the sun.

Thankfully, this wasn't too much of a problem, and during World War II, Red Skull was able to find a solution.

Even more so today.

"From today onwards, they will be a nightmare for all of New York."

"Yes, Kim."

Bow your head and answer without hesitation.

As a vampire infected by Jinji, he completely obeys the other party's orders, and even if Jinhe tells him to die now, he will not hesitate to jump from the top of the building.

"Speed up the progress of infection."

Lighting a cigar, a faint flickering fire in the shadows, Kim continued to give his orders: "When everyone is infected, it's time for us to strike." ”

Shaking off the ash of the cigar in his hand, Kim grinned to reveal his sharp teeth, and his red eyes flashed with hatred: "And our first target is the defender." ”

……

"Wait a minute, let me calm down......"

[Legend from Daredevil ......]

[Legendary ...... from Jessica Jones]

【From Danny......】

Inside Matt's law firm, a group of defenders gathered.

After listening to everything Luke Cage had to say, Jessica turned her head to look at the weather-beaten Joseph Joestar beside him, and shook her head, trying to digest the news that the other party had brought.

"Or, you're telling me right now that it's all just a joke?"

To this, Luke Cage shrugged his shoulders and replied with a wry smile: "I also hope that this is all a joke, but obviously, it is not the case. ”

Luke Cage's answer completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Jessica's heart.

She muttered to herself, only to feel a headache.

"Damn, what's wrong with this world, it's aliens and vampires, I'm already starting to miss the ordinary and cute world that used to be, although the original world is just as annoying, but at least it won't be like a circus show like it is now, bringing me unwanted shit surprises every day."
