Chapter 7: Daredevil Heroes
The worried middle-aged man obviously didn't notice the quietly extra shadow behind him.
Traversing the dirty and dangerous lanes of Hell's Kitchen, the man finds himself outside a hidden factory.
The man looked up at the factory, his wife lying on the hospital bed at home, and then gritted his teeth and walked in.
"You're here."
The guard at the gate of the factory noticed the figure of the middle-aged man, and immediately stepped forward and said.
"Hmm."
The man nodded, but his gaze subconsciously swept over the pistol hanging from the guard's shoulder, it was obvious that this factory was not as simple as it seemed.
"Then hurry up, Mrs. Gao is already waiting for you above."
The guard noticed the man's gaze, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but urged him.
Where is it?
Hiding in the shadow of the corner, Li Ran silently watched the factory that appeared in front of him and the two people talking at the entrance.
The guns on the guards reminded Li Ran that the situation was more dangerous than he had imagined.
Although the use of firearms in the United States is widespread, the need for firearms by an ordinary factory guard to patrol is itself a suspicion.
Or maybe it's not just an ordinary factory.
It was determined that the factory in front of him was not ordinary, but Li Ran had no plans to stay or break inside.
After all, judging from the way the middle-aged man talked to the guard, the other party obviously knew about the situation in the factory, but still insisted on going inside.
Since the parties have already made a decision, why should he meddle in it anymore.
Although he is in the world of American comics, Li Ranke has never had the idea of incarnating as a superhero to save the world, on the contrary, his goal is to live as he wants.
Although, at present, it is still a little difficult for his idea to be realized in the high-risk world of American comics.
But at least, Li Ran already had an opportunity to help him realize this idea.
Turn around and follow the path you came from.
However, just as Li Ran was about to leave, a rush of footsteps came.
Immediately after, a crimson figure leaped over his head.
Daredevil man?!
Although the figure moved extremely fast, Li Ran still recognized the identity of the other party.
It is the superhero who has become famous in Hell's Kitchen recently, Super Daredevil Man.
Of course, in fact, Li Ran knows more, such as another layer of identity of Daredevil in the daytime, a genius blind lawyer named Matt Murdoch.
The sudden appearance of the super daring man was somewhat unexpected by Li Ran.
Stopping the footsteps that he had planned to leave, Li Ran glanced back at the factory behind him.
The expression was a little tangled.
Leaving now, although the danger can be minimized, it will definitely miss an opportunity to meet with Daredevil to earn legendary degrees.
Although there are many superheroes in New York City, there are not many that are really suitable for Li Ran's current level.
And Daredevil is obviously a relatively safe existence among the many superheroes he can come into contact with, after all, most of the people Daredevil is fighting against gangsters in Hell's Kitchen, and the highest is only at the level of Jinji.
It is far from the late stage of the American comic world, where aliens invade and the earth is destroyed.
Therefore, just stopping and hesitating slightly, Li Ran quickly made a decision.
Of course, although a decision has been made, Li Ran will not just be so stupid and go directly to the factory.
Before entering, he decided to open a treasure chest to suppress the shock.
……
"Mrs. Gao, people have come."
In the factory, the man, led by the security guards, went up to the second floor and met the legendary Mrs. Gao.
Although Mrs. Gao is on crutches with a kind expression, she looks like an ordinary old lady everywhere in the man's hometown.
But after seeing the situation of the workers on the first floor, the man did not feel any relaxed.
"It's coming, it's hard work."
Waving her hand to retreat from the guards who came up with the man, Mrs. Gao looked at the man in front of her with a smiling expression.
said in a kind tone: "Since you have decided to come to work with me, then you should have thought it through, my work here is not as simple as outside, if you want to join, you can join and quit." ”
The man thought of what he had seen on the first floor of the factory before, and nodded with a heavy expression: "Mrs. Gao, my wife is sick, and I need money very much. ”
"I know, I know."
Mrs. Gao nodded, but said very cruel words with a kind expression: "Many workers who come to me are like this, and I will definitely not be stingy in this regard, as long as you can blind yourself like them, and then help me work in the factory, I will definitely give your wife the money for treatment." ”
Mrs. Gao's words made the man fall silent.
Even though he had always thought that he had made up his mind, but when this moment really came, he couldn't help but waver. After all, these are their own eyes, and if they can, who wants to become a blind man who can't see anything.
Looking at the man with a struggling face, Mrs. Gao didn't open her mouth to urge anything, she just looked at each other quietly, always with her kind expression on her face.
"Mrs. Gao, will you really give me the money to help my wife treat her illness?"
"Absolutely."
"I promised, I would work in the factory."
In the end, the man made his own decision.
"Okay, okay."
Seeing this, Mrs. Gao nodded her head with a smile, slowly walked to the drawer of the room and took out a small black bottle, stretched out her hand and handed it to the man: "Drink the poison in the bottle, your vision will become more and more blurry within three days, and finally you will be completely blind like the workers working below." ”
On the other side, the man stretched out his hands tremblingly, took the bottle handed by Mrs. Gao and held it tightly in his palm.
He bit his lower lip hard, raised his hand to open the bottle, and was about to drink it.
"Wait a minute."
Mrs. Gao suddenly turned her head sideways and reached out to stop the man's movements.
"The poison in the bottle will be drunk later, it looks like an unwelcome guest has come to the factory."
With that, Mrs. Gao turned around and walked out on crutches.
The courage that was finally lifted was lost because of Mrs. Gao's sudden interruption.
The man looked down at the poison in his hand, his expression uncertain whether to rejoice or worry.
It's just that the joy or worry didn't last long, and it was quickly broken by the sharp voice of Mrs. Gao outside.
"The blind ghost has come to the door, everyone will catch him for me!"
