Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Unexpected
When the waiter who delivered the lunch came out of the presidential room in Kilgrave, Peter immediately took out his watch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ After ten minutes of patient waiting, Info put on a gas mask and pressed a button in his hand.
The fire alarm of the entire hotel suddenly sounded at this moment, and the fire sprinklers on the ceiling, which were automatically activated, began to create a drizzle in the hotel room. Less than ten seconds later, the hotel's public address sounded the somewhat panicked voice of the front desk lady.
"This is not a fire drill, I repeat, this is not a fire drill. All customers are asked to follow the directions to the fire escape..."
The crowd inside the hotel panicked and began to rush towards the fire escape. And that didn't include Kilgrave, who was having dinner. He frowned and lowered the half-drunk glass in his hand. Sitting across from him was a blonde woman who looked to be at least ten years younger than him. She had a big smile on her face, but there was only a dullness in her eyes.
"Stay here, don't move until I return." Kilgrave gave his order, completely unaware that if the 'fire' did spread here, she would be under his command and watch herself burn to death.
Just then, the door to his room was pushed open. Luke. Cage walked into the room, his expression as serious as ever.
"Mr. Kilgrave, we should have visitors."
"Red Mask! Did he fall into the net himself? He sneered, but in the next moment, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked at the already opened bottle on the table.
-----
Under Peter's control, the twelfth floor of Kilgrave's house has become a so-called island. The building's elevator had been locked by him, and the staircase door had some of his gadgets installed on top of it, capable of giving anyone who tried to pass through a small surprise.
If his perception is correct... There were four people in Kilgrave's room, and he was all about himself, Luke. Cage, and Matt, and another unknown person in there. However, whether the other party was an enemy or just another innocent victim, Peter could not have stopped his plans for the sake of the other party.
He now creates a rather difficult problem for Kilgrave. Go, or stay.
If he chooses to stay, then the anesthetic in his body is about to start to kick in gradually, when the time comes for a mad Luke. Cage was a threat that was more than Peter's group combined. Of course, the other party can still use blood to maintain their control over Luke just like last time. But according to Peter's guess, he must have had to consume a lot of blood. And if the other party decides to consume it, he may need to consume more blood to maintain his control.
Of course, if the other party stays inside and doesn't get out, Peter is afraid that he will have to use some other methods to open the battle.
And if the other party chooses to rush out, then they will have to face Peter's other arrangement...

Kilgrave decisively chose the second option. He used a knife to cut a small wound in his arm, and tucked a glass under the wound. A feeling of exhaustion had risen in the depths of his mind, and he knew that the effects of the medicine had begun to kick in.
"Take our captives and send me out." He immediately turned to Luke on the side. Cage gave the order, and the other man nodded. Luke put Matt, who was still unconscious, on his shoulder and followed behind Kilgrave.
However, after opening the door to the suite, Kilgrave was surprised to find that the hallway was not only sprayed with water, but also shrouded in a fog. Luke choked on a few breaths of the air and coughed. His ability is to receive enhanced skin, and his respiratory system is not much stronger than that of a normal person.
And at this moment, a dense burst of gunfire rang out at the end of the corridor. Despite not seeing the attacker's appearance, Luke still relied on his instincts to block Kilgrave one step ahead, blocking all the dozen bullets with his back. And as if he was worried about Matt on his shoulder, the gunfire stopped.
Almost at the same moment, a flashbang exploded in front of their eyes. In the next moment, Peter, who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, rushed up to him with his clothes already drenched. The short stick in his hand slammed into Kilgrave's jaw, causing his head to tilt back forty-five degrees and his head to dizzy. Peter's next blow landed on Kilgrave in the abdomen. After these two heavy blows, he also collapsed directly to the ground with a strong physique, and only barely got up after a few seconds.
Before they could fight back, however, Peter had retreated back into the fog and was nowhere to be seen. In the presence of another attacker, Luke naturally did not dare to leave the injured Kilgrave alone here.
After inhaling too much smoke, Luke is in terrible shape right now. There seemed to be a raging flame burning in his lungs, and every breath he took was filled with a burning pain. And once in the middle of the fight, the symptoms only worsen faster. All he could do now was cover himself and Kilgrave's mouths and noses with a damp cloth and try to inhale as little of the gas as possible.
And for some reason, a strange feeling of dizziness rose from his mind.
-----
Five minutes later, the fire escape was less than ten meters away. Peter came to Kilgrave and Luke, who had fallen to the ground. Cage was beside him, kicking their motionless bodies.
"I'll you... I still have at least three arrangements that I don't use..."Looking at the powerful enemy who fell at his feet, Peter couldn't even speak. After the fire elevator, he also deliberately set up a trigger trap. After they open the door, the person who walks in front will once again experience the taste of a flashbang at close range. And on the next step, Peter applied a layer of lubricant to it, believing that whoever stepped on it would have to fall.
Peter's series of traps are all aimed at trying to hinder the other side. Mindy proposes several traps of mass destruction, but they are all rejected by Peter and George.
"It's really calculating...", and Mindy also appeared behind them at this moment, and there was a bit of strangeness in her tone. She looked at Peter with a rare look of admiration. "Start by doing your hands and feet on the water spray pipe on this level, and add a water-soluble anesthetic paper packet to it. Then use that pungent gas to damage the other person's olfactory function. In this way, the other party will be directly knocked out by your medicine unintentionally. β
Not... I just think Kilgrave's weakness is anesthetics, so I just put a little bit of this stuff in every link... He complained frantically in his heart. He felt that he was almost half crazy, and the contrast between such a powerful enemy being dealt with so easily made him almost crazy.
Peter didn't tell the truth in his heart, but just nodded his head incomprehensibly. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and helped Matt, who had been abandoned by Luke who had been found to be wrong. But looking at Luke and Kilgrave at his feet, he suddenly had a headache again.
Prior to this plan, he expected to escape after recapturing Matt. But now that Kilgrave is in his hands, he doesn't know what to do.
Just then, Peter's walkie-talkie suddenly rang. He pressed the connect button, and Gwen's panicked voice came from the other end of the intercom.
"Terrible news, a group of people have just walked into the hotel, and they seem to have some bad intentions."
"Ill-intentioned? Let's be specific. β
And just then, George's voice interjected. "Nine, heavily armed. Each of them had at least four guns hidden under their clothes. Andβ" His voice paused here. "The dress of the person in charge... It looks like the 'bullseye' you mentioned. β
