Chapter 21: New York in Turmoil

In the night of New York, two addicted guys are looking for their own target, after careful selection, they choose an office worker who looks a little honest, from his tired appearance, they think that this guy should have just finished working overtime, and now want to go home as soon as possible.

This kind of target is the most suitable target for robbery, as people in a hurry may choose some shortcuts home, and most of these shortcuts are on the middle of nowhere, and dark places are the place to start.

The two quietly followed the overtime worker who wanted to go home as soon as possible, and he did not disappoint them, and it didn't take long for him to turn into a dark street, intending to take a shortcut home, and then the two were forced to stop by gunpoint.

"Hi friend, the two of us have been a little tight lately, if you can give a little help, we will thank you very much, of course, if you don't want to, then what are the consequences, you should understand. Thompson shook his gun-wielding hand, which he had to do in order to get new drugs from the Mexicans.

"I'm just an office worker, I don't have any money, I still have children to support, I need money......" The robbed office worker is not rich, otherwise he would not choose to work overtime, he needs money to support his family, and he is under great financial pressure.

"Don't talk nonsense, either you give us money or I'll give you a bullet, there's no third option!" Thompson snapped, interrupting the other party's complaints.

"Aren't you afraid of superheroes?" Suddenly a voice came from Thompson's side, asking Thompson.

"Superheroes, Daredevil and Hellcat are now in Hell's Kitchen with those Irish guys, but they don't have time to care about such trivial things as us, after the signing of the Sokovia Agreement, those famous superheroes have begun to disappear, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Wonder Girl, have been missing for a long time, except for the new guy in the skeleton suit, who cares what we do, what are you worried about, Joseph?" Thompson explained, confused by his partner's sudden words.

"That's not what I asked......" Joseph, another looter, answered Thompson's question with a shudder, then swallowed as he looked at the masked man in the sky who was about to be forgotten.

Thompson followed his companion's gaze and saw a Charles in a clown mask, then collapsed to the ground and uttered his name: "Acrobat!"

"Did you miss me?" said Charles, smiling as he greeted the two criminals who had collapsed.

"Run. Charles's greeting reminded Thompson of the acrobat's notoriety, and he immediately summoned up the courage to call his companions to run, and as he ran, he watched to see if the acrobat caught up.

The acrobat was still in the air, not at all to stop the two from escaping, and after rejoicing, the two slammed into the invisible wall that Charles had made with his mental strength, and the whole person stuck to it.

"It seems that the two of you are also conscious people, but you actually stopped and didn't plan to escape, is it your hidden conscience in the depths of your heart that is preventing you from leaving?" Charles also landed behind the two at this time and asked.

"We surrender. "There was no cleverness with Charles at all, Thompson and the two simply surrendered, they were just robbing, and this crime was not worth their desperate efforts.

"Yes, yes, alas, I didn't plan to do anything to you, what are you running?" Charles was very satisfied with the two of them knowing each other, but the guy who was robbed also ran away immediately after Charles appeared, and he didn't even say thank you, which made Charles very dissatisfied, but I saved you, and then erected a telepathic wall in front of him.

"Uh, Mr. Acrobat, is this place out of the way?" asked Nathan, the office worker who had been stopped, awkwardly looking back.

"Have you forgotten something, do you need me to remind you?" Charles asked dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, oh, thank you so much for your help, so can I leave now?" said Nathan, giving him a nervous look at Charles.

"Of course...... They robbed you, not me, and if you leave, there will be no victims on the police's side, how can they still be convicted. Charles looked at Nathan, who was a little reluctant, and ordered Nathan not to leave.

"You're not going to do anything to me, are you?" said Nathan, asking worriedly if he would be on Charles' spoof list, as "The Acrobat" never had a good reputation.

"Don't worry, I'm very busy today, I don't have time to play, you, put away the gun, and when the police come, I'll hand these two guys over to the police, and I'm going to help the others." Charles used his domineering appearance to find the next target to be saved, signaled the victim Nathan to start supervising the two robbers, and then disappeared in front of the three.

Nathan looked at the guns on the ground, and then at the two fierce robbers in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and said very helplessly: "Otherwise, we will be separated like this today, okay?"

"I'm sorry, I forgot to restrict the movement of these two people, and besides, I heard what you just said, and I remember your face, don't think about leaving, understand. Charles reappeared, carrying a woman wrapped in a quilt with no face, and nodded at Thompson and Joseph, who were about to pick up the gun, before disappearing again.

Looking at the robber in front of him who kept bending down to pick up the gun, but couldn't move anymore, Nathan's heart collapsed, but he still honestly picked up the gun on the ground and waited for the police to come.

After Charles disappeared, the three of them were so frightened that they continued to be silent, and sirens were heard in the distance, but no one came, and after a long time, the robber, who was standing in a stiff position, finally noticed something and reminded Nathan: "Maybe, you need to call the police, that guy may not call the police." ”

Nathan finally took out his mobile phone under the reminder of the robber, pressed the 911 button, and the result was indeed as they guessed, the police did not get the report, Charles did not report the crime at all, but the police also told them another thing, that is, the acrobat is crazy today, arresting people everywhere, so the current police station is a little insufficient, if the robber has been restricted by the acrobat, Nathan can take a taxi to send the criminal to the police station, and the police station can reimburse the round-trip fare.

"So, shall we take a taxi to the police station now?" Hanging up, Nathan asked timidly about the two robbers who were still on hold.

"Of course, I still hope that the police department has a way to lift us from the restrictions, and I don't want to stand like this forever. The robbers, who didn't know that there was a time limit for the point, agreed with Nathan and asked Nathan to take them to the police station first.

On the other side, Charles had just rescued the last person trapped in the fire, looking up at the sky, wondering if he had forgotten something, but before Charles could think of anything, a message came from Laura's side that Daredevil, who was calling around in Hell's Kitchen every day, was missing, and Trish asked Charles to find him.
