Chapter 290: Charitable Gifts
In New York's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, sin grows when night falls.
Although the global joint investment company has gone bankrupt, the Russian gangs have been dismantled, and even the largest drug production and trafficking organization in Hell's Kitchen has disappeared with the disappearance of Mrs. Gao.
But this New York ghetto is still in chaos, because the chaos and evil caused by poverty and lust are never lacking. The source of evil that cannot be curbed cannot be eliminated.
Matt still plays his role as a justice lawyer during the day, and changes into a nightwalk at night to become Daredevil, who guards the innocent.
Lurking on a rooftop, Matt listened carefully to the sounds of Hell's Kitchen.
Filter out all the irrelevant noises and focus on the frightened screams and helpless cries for help...... But after a long time, Matt didn't hear anyone in need.
"Again, why is the security environment in Hell's Kitchen getting better and better lately?" Matt said confusedly.
In the past half month, Matt has found that there are fewer and fewer crimes that can be heard at night, and he has not even punished criminals for a week.
In the past, this was unthinkable, and it was good luck to be able to go out only three times in a night.
"It looks like this coalition of forgivers is really changing New York."
That's the only reason Matt can think of.
Not long ago, Tony Stark announced plans to renovate Hell's Kitchen to create one of the world's most advanced eco-friendly energy communities. The old vacant houses were acquired, and then the renovation began.
Unlike the previous practice of global co-investment companies, Stark Industries has money, so there is no need to implement low-price acquisitions through some illegal means, but Stark Industries' largesse has increased the property prices of the whole of New York by a few percentage points.
The acquired people rejoiced and lined up to welcome the engineering team with the green flag into Hell's Kitchen.
The involvement of big business brings not only money, but also strong security, so that the restless guys in Hell's Kitchen have to keep to themselves.
Matt attributes the change in law and order in Hell's Kitchen to the Forgiveness Alliance, and considers whether to accept Tony Stark's invitation to become a member of the Alliance.
Tony Stark even promised Matt that if he was willing to join, he could tailor a combat suit for him, which would greatly improve his defense while ensuring flexibility.
Matt listened very attentively, although others thought that the emblem of the Forgiveness League was a bit too green, but Matt himself was blind and didn't care too much about the color.
As he pondered this, all of a sudden, Matt heard a long-lost cry for help.
Matt was full of excitement, and the feeling of blood boiling came back to him.
Reaching out and pressing on the railing, Matt jumped down, his palms with sensory gloves scratching large sparks on the wall. With the magnetic levitation power of the sensor glove, he can jump directly down from the roof of the eighth floor.
Landing on the ground easily, Matt ran in the direction where the distress cry came.
With his familiarity with Hell's Kitchen, it took Matt less than a minute to get to the scene of the accident. However, instead of the vicious gangsters threatening innocent civilians, he saw a large man with a tattooed face sitting on the ground in horror.
Obviously a macho man who can scare others into turning around and running away with his eyes, but at this time, he is crawling and trying to run out of this small alley, shouting loudly as he runs: "My God! ”
It turned out that the scream just now was made by this macho man, which was really surprising.
Matt can't see, but he is able to sense everything through his hearing.
On the other side of this macho man, there was no one else, because Matt couldn't hear any heartbeat and blood flow at all.
However, Matt also discovered that there was a doll in the alley.
It's like a doll used to display clothes in a store, with only human form, not human flesh and blood. But on the contrary, this puppet seems to be very exquisite, and even its facial features are no different from a real person.
The only thing that could make ordinary people see the difference was a long wound cut by a dagger on the puppet's chest. The real bionic skin rolled out like a real wound, except that no blood flowed out, revealing the metal structure inside.
It is also because of this situation that the powerful tattooed man in front of him will be so frightened that the six gods have no owner, and he can't stand steadily.
Obviously, the tattooed man thought that the other party was a human and planned to greet him with a dagger, whether it was robbery or murder, and the real criminal should be him.
But Matt didn't bother to clean up the criminals at this time, because he heard the metal puppet move towards him. Robbers are like weeds to Hell's Kitchen, and they can be found everywhere after dark, but such eerie metal dolls are far beyond Matt's expectations.
The wrist blade on the sensor glove popped out, and although it was unknown if it could cause effective damage to the metal puppet, Matt could only fight for it.
However, surprisingly, the metal doll did not have the slightest intention of attacking Matt, but walked quickly in front of Matt and said, "Are you Daredevil?" I'm a fan of yours, can you sign it for me?! ”
Matt was stunned on the spot, will this robot still fan idols?
"What the hell are you? Intelligent robots, or aliens? Through his communication with the Forgiveness Alliance, Matt probably heard about the invasion of the Frost Giants, so he knew that aliens were more than just a science fiction story.
"No, no, no, you're mistaken, I'm a resident of Hell's Kitchen, and I live in Block 8 on Twenty-Third Avenue. My name is Breno, and you saved me once more than a year ago, that little boy in a wheelchair, do you remember? The robot explained.
A long memory came back to his mind, Matt had saved too many people, but there were not many little boys in wheelchairs, so it took him a moment to finally remember.
"Breno, you...... How did it come to be like this? Matt asked, shocked.
"Oh, you said this robot, that's not me. I'm still at home, it's my robot butler, and I can remotely control him to do a lot of things for me, like going out in the middle of the night to buy some takeout. The robot explained.
"Remotely controlled robots?" Matt breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if it was just a tool, then there was nothing to worry about.
"However, this robot is probably not cheap, Brenor you have so much money, it is better to install a mechanical prosthetic limb for yourself." Matt said.
"I didn't buy this, it was given by a company called Tinder. They say there's a charity fund dedicated to providing us with disabilities with this remotely controlled robot that we can use to take care of our own lives. And it also gives away bionic skins, which will not scare others. It's just that I'm unlucky, I actually encountered a robbery, and this set of skins was broken, and I don't know if I can replace it for free. The robot said with emotion, but its facial expression was a little stiff and looked a little weird.
Matt was about to comfort him, when he suddenly asked, "Are there many disabled people like you who have received gifts?" ”
"I think it's not a lot, as far as I know, more than 100 people with disabilities have received this kind of charitable gift. We're also tweeting videos of our robots, and we're planning to have a robot party in a while. Breno said excitedly.
Hundreds of robots! It looks like a sturdy adult male at the very least, and with a realistic shape and a metallic body, it's definitely a very powerful force.
If they all show up in Hell's Kitchen, it can have horrific consequences.
Although Matt was willing to believe Rorschach, he felt a little chilled when he thought about it.
"What exactly do you want to do, Rorschach?" Matt couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
