596 The Beginning of Piety
A month later, New York, West Chester. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Have you taken the things?" Summer asked softly as she looked at Nicole who came out of the cloakroom.
Nicole held out her hand, and a thin necklace was picked up in her hand, and underneath it was the iconic dark red Daredevil pendant.
"One last task, one last wish." Nicole smiled and looked at Summer with a faint look, "Will you be in a better mood after this time?" ”
"Of course." Summer nodded, grabbed Nicole's graceful body with one hand, the Infinity Gauntlet light flickered, and the two instantly traveled through the parallel universe and came to the Daredevil dungeon.
When I came here, it was afternoon.
It's New York again, and it's cold rain again.
The hazy sky is full of dark clouds, and the drizzle is lying on the shoulders of pedestrians, making people feel more cool.
Unlike the well-built hell's kitchen in the Overworld, the hell's kitchen in the Daredevil's world is still filthy and dilapidated.
The cold wind swept through the light rain, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, making the place look extremely bleak and desolate.
"This is what I think of Hell's Kitchen." Nicole sighed softly and grabbed Summer's arm tightly with one hand. Summer took a deep breath, the damp and moldy smell filling his lungs, and the feeling of déjà vu came back to his mind.
The Hell's Kitchen in the Overworld is already a bright place, with buildings lined up one after another, and it seems that even the sunlight favors it, making it vibrant and vibrant.
And Hell's Kitchen here makes summer feel like a world away, as if reminding me of the small apartment I once lived in. I remembered that warm but sad childhood.
Surrounded by these dilapidated buildings, dirty streets, and decaying urban areas...... The dripping rain couldn't wash it all away, it was rotting to the bone.
"Remember the old man?" Summer asked.
"Frozen in the freezer remember Matt?" Nicole raised an eyebrow, "Aren't we here to find him?" ”
"No, I'm talking about him." Summer raised her head slightly and gestured ahead with her chin.
Nicole looked around, but saw a middle-aged man, carrying a black garbage bag in one hand, maintaining the posture of putting it in the trash can, and holding the lid of the trash can with the other, looking stupidly here.
Under this cold light rain, the man's action of taking out the garbage should have been completed quickly, but he was stupidly stunned, letting the raindrops fall on his body, and he didn't know whether it was rain or tears in his eyes.
"Boss? Madam? Mike's voice trembled, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Summer is silent. Nicole smiled unexpectedly and nodded to Mike.
Mike wiped his wet face and warmly greeted Summer and Nicole to come in, and although the small storefront looked shabby on the outside, it was unusually warm on the inside.
A middle-aged woman's babbling blaming voice came out: "Why have you been there for so long, and you don't know how to put an umbrella when it's raining outside, you ......"
The woman's voice stopped abruptly, because she saw two strange tall men and women, although they were also wet with rain, but they could not hide the noble and majestic temperament of these two people.
"This is the boss I always tell you, the benefactor who saved my life." Mike spoke.
"You ...... Good. The middle-aged woman said a little timidly. Summer is fine, but Nicole's aura is too strong, especially after becoming a Valkyrie, her beautiful eyes are like torches, and she is not angry and self-assured. When she looked at the middle-aged woman with a scrutinizing attitude, the middle-aged woman subconsciously lowered her head, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Looks like you've built a family. Congratulations. Summer said.
"You gave me a lot of money, boss." Mike laughed self-deprecatingly, seeing that his wife was too cowardly to speak, and hurriedly added, "Of course, she and I really love each other." ”
Mike said as he took off the hat on his head, which had some hair and had become a Mediterranean hairstyle.
"When you opened the portal and called Darwin away, I knew that the burden had fallen on me, and I had been helping you take care of the refrigerated cabinet, which and the people inside were intact." Mike's smile was a little sad, "I know you'll be back." ”
"Oh." Nicole couldn't stand Mike's smile like this, turned around, and leaned on Summer's shoulder.
There were no more of her burning eyes like torches, and the atmosphere was much warmer, at least Mike's wife had already remembered to pour water for the two of them.
In fact, Mike's wife has never believed in the existence of these two people, and does not believe that there is such a person as "Summer" at all. This is her second marriage, she is lucky to find a down-to-earth man, and this man does not mind the daughter she brought, although the daughter is still in the rebellious period of youth, but Mike maintains the family relationship and atmosphere very well.
The only thing that makes his wife uncomfortable is that Mike is a stubborn man, and when she meets him, Darwin has already been called away by the summer, and she meets a man who is sticking to the small shop.
To say that Mike is down-to-earth, it can also be said that Mike is not enterprising.
After the two lived together for so long, the wife found that Mike had a lot of property, but they were all sold step by step, and finally only this small shop remained. He obviously has a huge amount of wealth, but he will not take advantage of it, and only wants this so-called stability. He always said that his good friend was gone, that Hell's Kitchen was a place of cannibalism, that he couldn't lose, and that he couldn't afford to lose, because his boss had given him an important task and he needed to wait for his boss to come back.
Until today, the wife finally saw the mysterious boss, but trembling under the eyes of the boss and his wife, and she finally believed that this ordinary and ordinary Mike might really have an important task on his body.
"Good work." Summer didn't know what to say, and while he was fighting around outside, there was still someone silently supporting him and guarding his promise.
"You saved my life, and that's what I'm supposed to do. It's just ......," Mike looked a little guilty, "I didn't keep Hell's Kitchen safe, and when Darwin left, I was afraid to fight in the lead." ”
"Don't say it, you've done a good job, I'm back to wake up a real Hell's Kitchen Guardian, as for you......" Summer looked at Mike, and also at the middle-aged woman who came with a hot water kettle, and said, "Come back with me?" ”
"I don't know, I already have feelings for this place." Mike laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's strange that I would like it here." ”
"What do you think?" Summer looked at the middle-aged woman.
"I, I don't know, where are you taking us?" The middle-aged woman had a worried look on her face, instinctively resisting the strange man's proposal, even though he was Mike's boss.
"It's New York, and it's Hell's Kitchen. There is better security, a better environment, and you will be sheltered by me, this is my promise to you. Summer said.
"I don't know what you mean." The middle-aged woman was a little stunned, is there another New York in this world?
"I'll see Darwin, right?" Mike asked suddenly.
"Of course, he will be happy to see you." Summer smiled and nodded.
"There, we will be safe and our children will be well educated." Mike, apparently with some absolute confidence in Summer, said, "Maybe we should really get out of this place of right and wrong." ”
The middle-aged woman hesitated, but nodded hurriedly after Nicole's gaze swept over.
Nicole said lightly: "I'm used to controlling other people's destinies, and I know it's not good to be powerless to resist, but such a decision is beneficial to you, and no one knows better than me and Summer how rotten and dirty Hell's Kitchen is here, and you can only live in fear here." In my hometown, you will have a lot of friends to take care of, your quality of life will be qualitatively improved, and your children will go to the best schools, which Mike deserves. ”
"Uh-huh." The middle-aged woman whispered.
"Let's go, take me to him." Summer stood up, the hot water on the table still steaming, and he didn't seem to want to linger here too long.
When Summer and Nicole came to the front of the refrigerator, a familiar scene came to mind, it was still the refrigerator that the two of them bought, and it looked of good quality.
Summer pushed open the cabinet door, and the cold air overflowed, and Summer saw two stiff corpses inside.
Daredevil Matt, Phantom Slayer Erica.
Unfortunately, there is only one resurrection token left in the summer.
After motioning for Mike to leave, Summer resisted the frozen Matt and took out the resurrection token.
Swish.
The familiar night demon landed steadily, subconsciously bent slightly, maintaining a vigilant posture, and listening attentively, Matt scanned the familiar and unfamiliar figure.
"You killed me." Matt's voice was gentle, and he said lightly.
So, do you still remember the moment you were possessed by the "beast"?
"You resurrected me?" This time, Matt's voice trembled slightly, as he scanned out the freezer and found Erica's icy corpse.
"More than ten years later, I finally got you back." Summer said softly, "As for Erica, I can't find it back, maybe the Hand here still exists, and they also have a way to resurrect people, you can try." ”
"What did you say?" Matt asked in amazement, more than ten years?
Summer stretched out her hand, and Nicole on the side handed the Daredevil Pendant to Summer's hand.
Just as the Daredevil did more than a decade ago, Summer held the pendant in the palm of her hand and shook it firmly with the Daredevil's palm.
"I'm sorry I didn't protect it for you, after all, this is your territory, isn't it?" Summer said softly.
Matt held the pair of D pendants in his hands, and without saying a word, slowly, clenched into a fist.
Summer suddenly remembered the introduction to the Daredevil Pendant.
So......
Hell's Kitchen,
Where dreams arise?
Or, where dreams fall?
