As with his title, Frank himself has the face of a tough guy. Because of his military background, even now, his clothes look meticulous. The face that had been sharpened and chiseled with some traces of time and a thick layer of calluses on his hands, Parker felt a palpable roughness in the handshake. It doesn't feel like human skin, but closer to a sandpaper-like texture.

There was a slight smell of blood on his body, but it was not strong, and even Parker's keen sense of smell was difficult to smell without sniffing closely...... Frank didn't look lonely, his powerful eyes looked like a hungry wolf with a thirst. But even so, it doesn't give people much edge. On the contrary, the gaze is very reserved. It's like a knife in its sheath.

The beard on the chin has also been groomed, but perhaps due to the stress, a little green can now be seen, as well as a few unshaved stubbles.

"Are you...... Peter parker? ”

Hearing this, Parker nodded. Then he took out the press card he had prepared from his pocket and handed it to Frank in front of him. As he stretched over, he said with some surprise: "It's a little hard to imagine that you would actually live in such a place, I thought you would have a secret base full of high-tech." It's the kind of person who shouts sesame to open the door and "snorts~" when he opens the door. ”

"Not everybody is Tony Stark." didn't care about Parker's words, probably because it used to be a military habit, so Frank's every sentence was very concise and straightforward. Or maybe he hadn't talked to anyone else in a while. The whole person sat there and seemed a little silent.

Turning on the light, the originally dim room had a little more light. With a sofa and a coffee table made of cardboard boxes and wooden planks, there was only a makeshift bed and a workbench left in the room.

While Parker was looking at the Punisher and the Punisher's room, on the other side, the Punisher was also looking at the two in front of him.

Needless to say, Parker, as the most famous and mysterious journalist, is still very immature in appearance. But maybe it's because of the overalls bonus, so it's generally more reliable. With a strong body, it seems that there is a certain foundation in martial arts, but it is also thought of as such. As someone who specializes in finding superheroes and even some supervillains to interview, it makes sense to connect with martial arts...... After all, some can't even protect themselves under the law.

But.

Looking at the ashes behind Parker, under the camouflage of the tender white branches, in Frank's eyes, under the subconscious, the ashes looked the same as Parker, but the appearance was very ordinary, like a little sidekick.

"I should have said that you are only allowed to come alone." Frowning, as a retired soldier and especially as a vigilante. Whether it's the underworld or the white way, there are many people who want his life. As he was now, Frank had quietly reached for the pistol pinned to his waist.

Hearing Frank's words, Parker scratched his head in annoyance. He glanced at the ashes beside him, and then at Frank, who was full of vigilance in front of him. Parker said helplessly: "Mr. Ash, please remove the disguise first......

Hearing Parker's words, Ash nodded casually. Then the soul that had been poured into the white branches was quickly extracted. Then, under Frank's gaze, the reporter's body began to distort rapidly, as if a spatial singularity appeared on her body, and then distorted the light around her. And that spatial singularity, or the distorted center is not recognized...... It's a twig.

Looking at the ashes that had returned to their original state, the punisher did not react for a moment, but only stood in place with some familiarity. Look at the familiar medieval armor and the glow that looks like molten iron. The Punisher quickly remembered the figure he had seen during the Battle of New York.

"Are you...... Ashes?! ”

Looking at the ashes in front of him in disbelief, Frank looked at Parker beside him in surprise. There was a slight doubt and incomprehension in his eyes, and the feeling seemed to ask: "How big is the hatred, you still have to bring this guy to kill me?!" ”

Ash didn't feel much discomfort, instead stood there looking curiously at the guns that had been placed on the tool table. Although Ash knows something about the firearms in this world, it is the first time that he has seen it up close like now...... When I saw this kind of thing before, I was often in battle, and I didn't have much time to observe.

Looking at the disbelief on the punisher's face, a wry smile also rose on Parker's face, and then he helplessly explained, "Actually, Mr. Ash is not a rough person...... Well, in general, Mr. Ash is still very talkative. ”

"Then why did you bring him?"

Sighing helplessly, Parker also explained with a bitter face: "I said it was accidental, did you believe it......"

Looking at the silent Frank, Parker shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Well, Mr. Ash is not from this era, but because of cultural differences, he is out of step with our time. If Mr. Ash is allowed to walk around the city, something terrible could happen......" After a pause, Parker added, "Just like the last battle of New York, so ......"

didn't continue, Parker also looked at Frank in front of him helplessly. Listening to Parker's explanation, Frank also fell silent. Finally, he shook his head helplessly. Frank compromised, "That's all. ”

Hearing Frank's words, Parker breathed a sigh of relief. In the final analysis, Frank, as the first masked vigilante to be interviewed by Parker, represents the untapped market of masked vigilantes. People are obviously more interested in the stories behind the masked vigilantes than the glamorous superheroes...... In particular, some people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic wish that there would be more news that can criticize the government.

Glancing left and right around him, Parker nodded.

"Do you usually work here? …… Of course, you can choose not to answer, and I won't force it. If there's anything inconvenient to tell me, I won't report it. Quickly getting to work, Parker took out a pen and a small notebook from his bosom and looked at the punisher in front of him.
