Chapter 25: The Good Times and the Bad Times
Lie spends the night in confusion, and the large-scale human trafficking case he solves with Blade and Spider-Man is also reported in the news, but the target is changed to the New York police. As for the attack on the vampire bar, I can't see any news on the news, and it seems that the official side is still very aware of the seriousness of this kind of thing, so in addition to the New York police cracking the case, the news is to report that a police officer was seriously injured and hospitalized in this case. This poor guy is Bob who was well taken care of by Lie and Blade last night.
And in a dark room in a skyscraper in New York, a white man is smashing a wine bottle into a television. The only light source in the room was smashed by him, but he didn't care, just smashing everything around him in a venting style, even in the dark he moved as easily as during the day. Destroying everything around him, the darkness turned into day, and the blinding light silenced the white man.
A short, blond man in sunglasses turned on the light in the room. "Deacon, that doesn't help." He reassured.
The white man is the head of the New York vampires that Lie and Blade have been looking for, Deacon. Fez. This time, when he saw another of his strongholds destroyed, Deacon was furious, but he could only vent his anger in the room. Because he didn't dare to go out, Deacon. Firth wasn't a pure-blooded vampire, he was converted a long time ago, he was a complete anti-human molecule who didn't care who he was human. Originally, he had his own master, and he was a little more restrained, but unfortunately his master was killed, and he began to build his own vampire empire in New York after getting everything from his master by his own means.
He became the representative of the non-purebred vampires among the vampires, and became a vampire force to be reckoned with. It was all wonderful, and with his radical style and the welfare of his subordinates, he called the wind and rain in New York for a century. But now it's different, first of all, a few years ago, a half-vampire named Blade suddenly appeared, he has more power than vampires, but he doesn't have the weakness of vampires, and he starts hunting vampires all over the world. Originally, it had nothing to do with him, but now he is in New York, and he is uprooting his power step by step.
On the basis of this annoyance, another Scarlet Grim Reaper came out, who did things more ruthlessly than the blade, and when the blade killed one, he killed a group. All of them are aimed at his forces, and the most hateful thing is that he can't beat anyone at all, not a single one! I can only watch the two of them demolish their own homes, but they are helpless. This time, they messed up one of their own orders again, and the blood food he was going to hold a blood feast was intercepted, which also made his vampires start to have some opinions.
"Quinn, how much have we lost now?" Deacon sat on the couch and asked the stocky man.
"We lost 60 percent of our business, and more importantly, a lot of our compatriots have been killed, and our numbers in New York have dropped by 5 percent." Quinn reported.
"Damn, how can this be, there are no vampires among them who can fight them! How could humans have such luck and even a half-vampire like Blade to help them. Deacon roared angrily, angry at the Crimson Reaper and Blade's power and at the vampire's lack of power.
"By the way, why are you coming to me?" Deacon asked.
"The committee is looking for you."
Hearing Quinn's words, Deacon probably knew what the reason was, but looking at the current situation, he couldn't help but go, after all, this time the matter was really big. didn't say anything, tidied up his appearance and went out. On the other side, Lie, who had not slept all night, was also handling his own affairs in the office. He had a bad time last night, and he didn't know how to solve these guys who would rather make a mess of the world for his own selfishness, and he looked listless in the office after not sleeping all night.
"Boss, although I don't know how you handled it, but the recent harassment incidents in our factory have decreased a lot." Barbara came in and reported the recent situation to Lie, thanks to Lie's chivalrous deeds during this period, these vampires who killed have not dared to come out to activities recently, and the corresponding attacks and harassments have been reduced. After all, this thing is the most tempting to vampires, and the purpose of the others is probably the same, just to study the ingredients of this potion.
"Got it, put the things and documents there, if it's okay, let me be quiet." The strong mood of not sleeping all night is not particularly good, and I am trying to avoid my bad mood from affecting others.
"Hey, Lie. Mr. Wayne, you'd better get out and about now than you're fit to be in the office. Barbara looked at the preoccupied Lie, and was not polite, and called him by his name.
Lie also understood that he really had no motivation to do things at the moment, so he stood up and hugged Barbara and left, leaving Barbara in the office to think about what Lie's move was all about.
Lie drove aimlessly through New York City, he actually had a lot of questions to answer, but he didn't know who to turn to, except for Bruce in Gotham. But obviously he couldn't go over at this time, and Barbara beside him still couldn't let down all his guard, after all, there was still a S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick behind her. Fury watched. And Diana, he was not ready to reveal his identity in front of her. Tony. Stark? Forget it, he will definitely be biased from the topic. After thinking about it, Lie suddenly found that he had worked hard for so long, but there was no one who could really talk and talk to heaven.
Before you know it, you've driven to Queens, and Queens and Brooklyn, which have a high crime rate, have dropped a lot recently because of the blows, but there are always some risky guys who come out to make trouble. As soon as Lie saw that there was a robbery going on in the alley, he saw the little spider from last night and a spider silk that caught this unlucky fellow. Thinking of Peter, who almost shook off his bottom when he saw him last night. Parker, Lie suddenly wanted to go over and visit someone.
"Ding-dong." The doorbell rang, and it was opened by an elderly man in his fifties, but the years had made the elder look older than he really was.
"Hello, you are Lie. Mr. Wayne? Why are you here? "Ben. Parker recognized Lie at a glance, and although Lie didn't often appear on TV, it didn't prevent Ben from getting to know this young and creative genius.
"Hello, Mr. Ben, I came very suddenly without an appointment, I am here to find your nephew." Yeol politely apologized to Ben, and at all times, he respected people of every class in society, and never belittled others at will because of his status.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne, Parker is out, but he's almost coming back, so if you don't mind, let's sit down first." Ben Xianglie invited.
"It is a great pleasure, sir." Lie was invited in at Ben's invitation.
The Parker family lived in a very ordinary apartment, not too big, but it felt very warm. Parker Sr. and his wife, May, were both kind and kind-hearted men, and when they came in, they gave Lie a warm welcome, during which Ben said that he was fortunate that he had invented a desperate potion that had brought him back from the clutches of death. Lie knew that he still had such a relationship with the Parker family. Chatting and chatting, the two of them talked about the current problems in modern society. Mr. Parker, what do you think of the society in front of you? Lie asked the question that had puzzled him, and perhaps he could hear the answer he wanted from this kind elder.
"Honestly, I think it sucks." Ben's answer frustrated Jeol, but Ben's words weren't finished, "But I feel like the world is being reborn." ”
"Why?" Lie asked.
"Because of a young man like you, Mr. Wayne." Before Lie could ask questions, Ben continued: "This world has developed too fast in the past hundred years, and when I was young, everyone's life was very simple, work, family, and friends. There was no racial distinction between mutants and ordinary people, and at that time, everyone greeted people from the bottom of their hearts and said hello. But now, when I walk down the street, I see everyone hurrying there with their mobile phones, oblivious to everything that is happening around them. ”
Ben tells the story of the world from the era when everyone was enthusiastic to the indifferent society it is today, and it can be seen that the old man's face is confused, confused and puzzled by the changes in this world. It was only later that he smiled and thought of some of the changes that had begun now. Speaking of Lie's invention, his many public welfare facilities, and Queens' good neighbor Spider-Man.
"The world does suck, Mr. Wayne, but people like you are always committed to making the world a better place. Maybe it's hard to see the effect, but you're working on it, aren't you? Whether it's your desperate situation and genetic repair potions, they have begun to ease the contradictions in society, and Spider-Man, the security of this Queens has also improved, isn't this all visible? ”
Root. Parker's words made Lie, who had been confused, suddenly have a goal, since this social problem is serious, then solve the social problem, who said that superheroes are only responsible for chivalrous and righteous maintenance of law and order, and it is not impossible to solve social problems. The world is changing so fast now, so it's up to him to lead the world in a better direction, is he still imaginary?
Just in Lie and Ben. When Parker continued to talk about the world and some phenomena of this society, most of them were Lie's questions, and Ben answered. For an old man who has experienced life and death, many of his words and life experiences have been of different help to Lie, especially an old man with a particularly positive outlook. And a good neighbor who goes out on daily patrols, Spider-Man Peter. Parker was coming in from home, and when he entered, he saw his uncle chatting with a young man who was not much older than him.
Hearing the movement, Lie turned his head and looked at Peter with a smile, "Hi, Peter, thank you for your help last night." ”
