Chapter 50: The Mountain Rain is Coming

The atmosphere in the gym was so stiff that it almost froze. Matt www.biquge.info face was rather terrible, he clenched his fists, and his whole body trembled slightly. Peter, who had no idea what had just happened, had no idea what to do, and kept looking at Matt, who had fallen into a strange silence, hoping that he would give him a hint, while Sticks, after a few fumbling around, found a chair and sat down, making a good look.

And in the end, it was the woman named Erica who spoke first, breaking the silence.

"To tell you the truth, when the master promised me that there would be a surprise tonight, I was really expected to be you." The long-haired wild beauty came to Matt with a catwalk, stopping less than two meters away from him. "Our last meeting wasn't pleasant, but I did miss you a little."

"You're also his student? You already knew this? Completely ignoring her teasing, Matt's face was terrible.

He suddenly felt a sense of betrayal. Even though the two of them have broken up, Matt, who was in love at the time, was really emotional. And now the revelation of Erica's identity, and the fact that she's here, makes Matt think of a rather brutal possibility.

At that time, she had been sent by the sticks, and the relationship they once had was just a woven lie.

"Is this how you greet the lover you haven't seen in a year? I don't remember you being such a ruthless guy. And if I'm not mistaken, you were the one who accosted me in the first place. Erica had a wistful expression, fully exerting her charm in what seemed to be a casual moment.

Looking at the woman's flirtatious appearance, there were a few more black lines on Peter's head. Matt's eyes can't see, and I really don't know who this woman's acting skills are for.

And Matt apparently didn't buy her either.

"Answer my question head-on." He gritted his teeth, and his tone grew colder. "When we met eight months ago, did you know who I was?"

"Honestly? I don't know. Erica gave her answer, but the wariness and suspicion on Matt's face did not dissipate. She gritted her teeth, and the feeling of resentment disappeared from her face. "But I said a while ago that we were one kind, and I felt that way. And now it seems that there are more similarities between us than we thought. ”

"Similar? Iβ€”" Matt was about to retort loudly to Erica's words, but his tone suddenly paused, as if he had suddenly remembered something. Matt finally didn't finish what he wanted to say, and he lowered his head slightly in frustration. "Yes, I do have a lot in common with you."

Peter watched in confusion, but he could not interject, so he could only sit quietly and watch the situation unfold. The three of them, especially Matt and Erica, seem to have a rather interesting history between them. Of all the people present, Peter was the only one who knew nothing about it, and he was naturally excluded from the discussion.

But he didn't complain about it. Now the fire of gossip in his heart has begun to burn. Based on the information revealed in their previous words, the situation in front of him was much more interesting than he had imagined.

After simplifying things and sorting them out, the story can almost be made into a movie. Matt and his sister met by chance without knowing each other's identities, and had an earth-shattering romance, and finally broke up. However, after the masters who haven't seen each other for many years introduce each other, the two discover the identities behind each other, and as they fight side by side, this relationship has signs of resurgence.

Just as Peter was making up for it, Sticksman interrupted Matt and Erica's conversation.

"I'd appreciate it if you could let go of the little things between you for the time being." He also found a place to sit down. "Get down to business first, and then you want to be in love, it's up to you to duel or love and kill each other, that's none of my business."

"I'm okay with that." Matt nodded, his tone still quite stiff. "But when this is over, I don't owe you anything anymore. Don't show up in front of me in the future. ”

"Why didn't I see you being so wolf-hearted." The stick smacked a few times, but he nodded. "Don't worry, I don't want to come back to a hellish place like New York. I'm far away, old man, and it's good that you're out of sight. ”

"My background, this is what you promised me." Erica also made her request, and her expression became unusually heavy. "Since you don't want to be my father, then you should at least tell me who my blood relatives really are."

"That's nature, I'm not a backsliding." Sticksuo nodded again, agreeing to her terms. At this point, both Erica and Stickser turned their gaze to Peter's face, who had not spoken.

Peter shrugged his shoulders as he looked at him. "Why are you looking at me like that? It feels so weird. ”

β€œγ€‚ My goal is to get Kim and his forces out of New York as quickly as possible. It would be even better if he could be brought to justice. Peter stated the conditions he had already made, but Erica's reaction was far more violent than he expected.

"Kick Kim out of New York?" Erica seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and at this point she finally turned her attention entirely to Peter. "Kim, you're referring to Wilson. Fisk: yes? Could it be that you are the Red Mask who has been making a lot of noise lately? ”

Faced with Erica's question, Peter hesitated slightly. Although it is very likely that they will fight side by side after this, Erica is still a stranger after all, and looking at the current situation, it is uncertain whether this cooperation can be negotiated in the end. Peter was understandably cautious in this regard.

However, he soon made a decision. A month ago, he was afraid that the secrecy of his dual identity would be more important than his own life. However, there are already many people who know this little secret of his. Matt, Gwen, George, as more and more people know his identity, now he has begun to take this matter less seriously than before.

And if he doesn't do something soon, Kim will know who he is, and that's the worst possible outcome.

"It's such an obvious thing, even if I deny it, I'm afraid it's useless." He readily admitted.

"Are you sure you're going to 'kick' him out, not to assassinate him? There is a big difference between the two," Erica asked the question with a frown after a moment of contemplation.

"Assassination is our last resort." "We're not going to think about killing."

Peter and Matt spoke almost at the same time, but gave very different answers. Erica was stunned for a moment, but immediately burst out laughing.

"Should I say you are brave, or should I say you are ignorant?" When she laughed until she was almost out of breath, her laughter gradually stopped. Erica wiped the corners of her eyes before speaking again. "Matt, you've been teaching this lad for so long, but you're playing this little game of playing housework?"

Peter was accustomed to this reaction, and was not resentful. Erica wasn't the first to laugh at his dreams. He just put his hands in his pockets and waited quietly for Erica to finish.

"It's hard enough to assassinate him, and you now want us to bring down his organization completely? More than two-thirds of New York's police officers receive a salary from him, and at least forty percent of politicians and businessmen have a stake in him. The complexity of the relationship is not something you can imagine. This is not a war that can be fought by a few people. What's more..."

At this point, she glanced meaningfully at Matt and Peter: "You can't even agree on the same page. That's how you want to challenge Kim He? ”

"If I didn't have the courage to try, I would have gone home and slept a long time ago." Peter spread his hands. "I'm almost in an unending relationship with him now. Whether you help or not, I'm going to do it. ”

"I promise to do you a favor against Kim, who is our common enemy. But if your request is too difficult, there's nothing I can do. After all, it's exactly what you say, and my ten lives are not enough for you to sell, old man. The stickman on the side also opened his mouth. You should be fine with this condition, right? ”

"Reasonable." Peter agreed, but he hadn't finished his words to Erica. "But I'm curious, where did you get all this information about Kim?"

"My adoptive father was one of those businessmen and politicians with whom he had an interest."

Hearing Erica's answer, Peter's eyes lit up, and it was clear that he had thought of something. But Erica quickly discovered this and directly pointed out Peter's careful thoughts.

"Don't even think about it, it's my personal action. If you dare to involve my family, you will be the first person I will kill. With Erica's warnings and threats, an inexplicable murderous aura emanated from her body.

Peter could only nod his head and agree to her offer.

At this point, the greetings before the start of the program officially end. Peter had already had a little understanding of the two new acquaintances, and their purpose was confirmed. And just as they were about to start the main drama and start discussing the plan in detail, a slight muffled snort interrupted them.

-----

The bullseye that Peter and Matt had stuffed in the locker room finally woke up. And this time, it was clear that something was not right with him.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Just a few hours ago, the face distorted by hatred and cruelty had a baby-like innocence. Facing the four people standing in front of him, Bullseye just giggled vigorously, and a crystal saliva was left at the corner of his mouth. And the moment his gaze rested on Peter's eyes, he seemed to recognize something terrible. He screamed loudly, and tried to crawl away from Peter.

Peter frowned and took a step forward. Although the guy in front of him pretended to be stupid and had good acting skills, he didn't believe that someone with such strong skills would have a nervous breakdown so quickly under his interrogation. As soon as it was in his mind, Peter would immediately know what the hell was going on with the guy in front of him.

A hand suddenly rested on his shoulder, and Peter looked back, but Matt shook his head at him.

"His physical condition... It's not pretending. ”

"How is that possible?" Peter cried out. "Is this guy so psychologically fragile? I didn't use any harsh sentences on him. ”

"Looks like it's the after-effects of soul searching." The stickman crouched in front of the bullseye frowned. He reached out and pinched Bullseye's face from side to side, then grabbed his arm again. Placing his finger on the wrist of the bullseye, the stick closed his eyes. After a moment, he lowered the bullseye's hand and nodded affirmatively.

"Nei Xi counterattacked the brain, he was already a complete fool. Boy, how many times have you used Soul Searching on him? It's the first time I've seen this in all my years. ”

"Soul seeking? I didn't use that, I justβ€”" Peter hesitated, trying to choose a more appropriate one. "I'm just trying to get him to listen to me."

"Soul searching, soul dementoring, these things are all the same. Do you fool think that playing with other people's minds won't have side effects? The meanness in the tone of the stick seemed to be a little different from the usual. Damn it... How did your master teach you... Wait, Matt, this kid doesn't know this, where did you learn that? ”

"Uh... I figured it out myself? Peter said with some uncertainty, and the answer seemed to anger the other man.

"Pondering? Spiritual things, you dare to think about them casually? The stick seemed to be about to roar out, but he thought of something, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Wait, if you figured it out, how did you not know the consequences of doing so? According to your knowledge of soul searching, it is impossible for forty or fifty people to be stupid without a master to teach it. ”

"Wait, that's not what I know of mind control." Peter suddenly thought of Kilgrave and Damon, and immediately raised his own objections. "I've seen a guy who was controlled by another Adept for five years, and then he recovered after he got out of control."

"That's different." The stick shook his head, and the cane in his hand tapped the ground a few times impatiently. "The real Adeptus is not like you. Either they use other methods to achieve this effect of control, or they are born with mental powers far beyond ordinary people, and you are different. In every way, you are not yet beyond the limits of what an ordinary person can reach. You're using 'technique', not 'power'. And all this is impossible to learn without a teacher. ”

"Butβ€”" Peter was also confused by the stick. These..."

"Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, don't worry about it." With a wave of his hand, he said he didn't want to talk about it anymore. "Anyway, it has nothing to do with the old man. Besides, isn't it a lot more convenient for this guy to become like this now? A fool is much easier to manage than a professional killer. ”

Although Peter looked impatient on the surface, his heart was as he said, and he was suddenly much more relaxed. And this point made him suffer a little.

New York, Manhattan, King's residence.

Following Wesley's suggestion last time, Jin He renovated his sky villa with more than 500 square meters again. Although this more retro decoration does look more substantial, as his residence, Jin Ji always feels a little uncomfortable.

However, if it is used to receive guests, the grade is significantly higher.

Kim took out a pair of teacups, which were laid out on the table, while he himself began to rummage through the cupboard for the tea leaves Wesley had given him last time. At that moment, a bright light flashed through the window, and less than half a second later, a deafening thunderclap followed. At this moment, Jin Ji noticed that a light rain had begun to fall outside the window.

He hurriedly took a few quick steps to close the floor-to-ceiling window that led to the balcony, and just then, the sound of porcelain clashing sounded from behind him. His form froze for a moment.

"If you can prepare tea in advance, you can be considered to have a heart." A mature, seductive and noble voice came. A wry smile flashed across Kim's face, and he turned to salute the lady who was now sitting at his table.

She wore this black and green dinner gown, and a dark green down cape on the back. She is undoubtedly a beauty among beauties. What makes people feel strange is that it is very difficult to confirm her approximate age just from her appearance. The appearance of a young girl, the figure of a ** son and the temperament of a middle-aged lady are fused together, giving her a unique charm.

Yet the most powerful people in New York City are bowing to her.

"Ms. Viper, it's a great honor to have you here."

"Honored? Come on, you don't even dare to mention my title, so why bother pretending here. The woman sitting there said in a languid voice. You don't have to be so restrained. Anyway, you are also a core member of the organization, and in terms of status alone, you can be on an equal footing with me. ”

Hearing this, Jin couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and hurriedly pressed his head lower.

"Don't dare!"

"It's boring." As if to confirm what she had said, she made a hache herself. "Forget it, since you're not in the mood to greet you, I won't force you. You know why I'm here, right? ”

"For that shipment, of course." Kim nodded. "All the arrangements have been made in the future, and there will be no mistakes."

"Then don't make any mistakes. As our allies for so many years, the cooperation between us must be perfect. And, that person is the key to our next move, and heβ€”" Lady Viper stopped abruptly and fell into her own memories. It was a moment before she came to her senses. "After all, he used to be my little lover."

"Yes!" Kim nodded vigorously, pulling a document from his bosom and handing it to Lady Viper. "This is a series of arrangements under the subordinates, and we will definitely be foolproof, and we will definitely deliver the goods to the headquarters safe and sound."

"I'm not going to look at that." Smiling and glancing at Kim, Lady Viper pushed the document aside. "No matter how good or bad the decoration is, it has nothing to do with me. I just want the results. ”

"Yes! Subordinates understand! Jin He hurriedly lowered his head again, but a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. And this point was well hidden by him and did not let the other party find out.

"Then I won't bother you, after all, you are also a big man with a lot of opportunities. It's not like an idle person like meβ€”" She put the half-drunk cup of tea back on the table and stood up herself. With the support of her high heels, she didn't look much shorter than the two-meter-tall Jin. "I'm here just to make sure, and there's nothing else to do. Say hi to Wesley, his taste is always good. ”

"Yes, sir!" Kim nodded again. Viper stretched and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window that opened to the balcony and opened the door. Breathing in the moist fresh air, a look of intoxication appeared on her face. She stepped into the rain, then turned to face Kim.

"Long live the hydra!"

"Long live the hydra!" Jin also responded immediately. Just then, a green flash lit up on the balcony, and when the light faded, she disappeared.
