Chapter Ninety-Nine: Speculation
It's a lot easier to deal with the people who come than Peter and Matt imagined.
Deprived of their self-awareness, these people seem to be preoccupied with the orders they say they have received, and their awareness of their surroundings drops to a very low level. It wasn't until Peter and Matt had brought down most of their men that the remaining three realized something was wrong.
And by this time it was too late. The light of the sword like snow lit up in the dim environment. The long, clay-sharpened knife came out of his hand, and under Peter's Force control, it made a strange trajectory in the air, wringing all the guns held by the three men into pieces. And Matt also appeared behind them at the right time, knocking them all unconscious.
Peter stretched out his right hand, and the long knife that was still flying seemed to be summoned, and immediately changed its trajectory and flew towards Peter's hand. He caught the long knife with ease, then quickly plunged it back into its scabbard. The full set of movements is clean and neat, without the slightest mud and water, and this attack that Peter has been practicing for a long time has achieved good results in the first actual battle.
Matt tied up the unconscious men. In most cases, non-lethal or non-permanent attacks that don't leave serious permanent damage are unlikely to stun people for more than ten minutes, and Matt's skills can't prolong this implementation too long. An extra layer of insurance is naturally better. And when he touched the body of the third person, he frowned. The smell of gunpowder and blood floating throughout the building suppressed his sense of smell a lot, and he didn't realize the problem until so late.
"This man is injured, and it's not light." Matt flipped the man over. He has an inconspicuous bullet hole in the body armor on his back. Although this is not an important location, if this person is placed here, he may die from blood loss.
Without hesitation, Peter pressed his hand to the wound. As he focused, a warm current poured out of his body and entered the wounded man's body through his hands. After only a few moments, the blood flow stopped. A faint hint of exhaustion crept through Peter's mind, and then quickly dissipated. Matt, who was on the side, hesitated for a moment, but chose to speak to remind Peter.
"There are so many injured people, if you save them all, you may not be able to hold on."
"It's okay, I'm a lot stronger now than I used to be. It's all right with that. Peter raised his fist and made a gesture to indicate that he was strong. Then he suddenly realized that this action was really done for the blind man, and he could only put his fist down in a daze.

"How much do you know about Red Mask?"
Kim's question echoed in George's ears, and his whole body trembled with surprise. Seeing him like this, Jin Ji was even happier.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that, it looks like you really know something." He said smugly. "After all, it's all just my guess. But it seems that I had good luck today, and this kind of surprise. ”
George's face remained grim and silent. Seeing him like this, Jin didn't shrug his shoulders disapprovingly and continued.
"Of course, I know you probably don't understand why I would make such a conjecture. I'm more accustomed to letting my enemies die in doubt, but I'm in a good mood today, and I have plenty of time to splurge on. Kim patted George on the shoulder and pulled him closer to herself. George's head shifted slightly to the left unnaturally, avoiding Kim's gaze.
"I believe that there are very few real accidents in this world. Most things have their own causes, processes, and effects. With a bit of emotion, Kim began his 'speech'. It dawned on him that it had been a long time since Wesley had been arrested.
"The Red Mask may be a bit famous now, and it has really done a lot of damage to me. But what is his essence? In the beginning, he was just a reckless man in a ridiculous uniform, waving his fists and brawling with the lowest thugs. Maybe he was lucky, but this act of courage and unscrupulous behavior could never change the city even a little! ”
"You're wrong, he changed the city." George finally spoke, his hoarse voice rather weak. "He dug up your cancer?"
"Cancer? Hahahaha! Hearing this, Jin couldn't help but burst out laughing. The body, which weighed nearly two hundred kilograms, also continued to rise and fall with his laughter. After a while, he regained his composure, wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye, and spoke again. "I'm sorry, but two of your words are so wrong."
"First of all, what do you think I am? Cancer? It's ridiculous! What do you think of those who have to beg for food in the black zone? A thief who does all kinds of evil? A bloodthirsty murderer? They are just people who have been forced by this country, this society to have to go down this path. ”
"Maybe someone as lucky as you would say that it was their own choice. But is it their choice that their families are so poor that they can't afford even basic education? Is it their choice to be detained by the police just because of the color of their skin? When they are stumbling into the so-called 'normal' rules of society and see no hope, isn't it natural to choose a simpler path that will bring happiness to themselves and their families? “
With that, Kim spread out his hands. "And I don't care about their births, their past. I gave them a job to live on their own, a corner where they could survive. And even if I'm gone, there's always someone else in that position. Because this society needs people like me to help it solve things that those businessmen and politicians can't solve. I'm just a necessary evil. ”
"It's just rhetoric." George said disdainfully. He has been working in the police department for more than 20 years and has seen almost every situation. His worldview is not shattered by a few words. "You're just a scoundrel who keeps hurting other people in order to satisfy his own greed."
"Okay, then let's keep our opinions to ourselves." Kim shrugged indifferently, he hadn't expected to convince George in the first place. "The second point that you are wrong is even more ridiculous, the current situation is not at all caused by that reckless man alone."
"Mess up a deal or two? Beat up a couple of minions who couldn't get on the table and send them to jail? These little things don't matter at all to the big picture, even if it's lucky enough to be mixed in with one or two big events, but what can he do alone? But..."
Kim patted George on the shoulder again. "But when you join, everything is different. If it weren't for you, how would the other police officers dare to take Wesley's hot potato? What's more, before he was just blindly trying his luck everywhere, now he can not only find out exactly where and when each incident happened, but even the actions of the police are providing him with all kinds of assistance in a hidden way. If there is no tacit understanding between him and the police, it would be an international joke. ”
"So I'm pretty sure there's one person in the top echelons of the New York police who's helping someone who is ignoring the law. And what you have done tonight confirms my suspicions. Don't you want to explain, how did you know to use a gas mask? ”
The hand that grabbed George's shoulder began to squeeze more and more, and Kim's vicious smile became brighter and brighter.
"Tell me everything you know about Red Mask. I've known him for so long, I don't even know a little bit about him, don't you think it's a pity? ”
Holding back the pain in his shoulder, a cold sweat broke out on George's forehead. But he kept his silence on the line. He knew that no matter what he did, it would be difficult for him to survive tonight. In this case, he can't drag that shy boy into the abyss.
Wait a minute...
Something suddenly occurred to George, and he glanced at the masked man standing beside Jin He, a look of horror flashing across his face.
"Looks like you're not going to speak. But that's okay, I think you've learned about my men's abilities through your partner. Originally, I wanted to leave at least a little dignity for you, so that you could keep your sanity. Of course, since you are so ignorant of current affairs..."
Kim snapped his fingers, and Kilgrave's demonic voice rang in George's ears. His eyes quickly lost their look.
