Chapter 23: Matt is missing!
Ever since he formed an alliance with Daredevil that night, Lin Rui had been waiting for news from him. However, he did not receive any reply until Friday. Although he was a little anxious, Lin Rui didn't call again to ask, he believed that Daredevil would make arrangements.
"Hey, Jackson, what's on the agenda for this weekend?" asked Tom as he walked on his way out of school with his arm around Lin Rui's shoulder.
"Well, I'm going to report from the Daily Bugle this weekend, you know. Lin Rui replied.
"Ah, yes, what about Peter, what about you?" remembering that Lin Rui had found himself a part-time job, Tom turned his head to look at Peter on the other side.
"I was going to visit Harry's company, and he promised to introduce me to an associate professor of bioengineering who he hoped would make me his assistant intern. Peter later asked Harry for help, although it was only an introduction, but with Peter's grades and hard work, it should be fine.
"Ahh Their high school life has only begun for half a semester, and these friends around him are all thinking about internships one by one.
"There's a difference between an assistant intern and an internship, but you can understand it that way. Peter didn't explain much to Tom either, and replied casually.
"Harry must be needless to say, as Osborne's young master, he thinks he should also start to get in touch with the company's affairs. In this way, I'm the only one who is the most idle now!" As he spoke, Tom unexpectedly found that he had been unknowingly pulled out of a level by everyone, and when he was still thinking about having a good time in high school, Lin Rui and the others had already found their future direction. Thinking of this, Tom's mood unconsciously went down again.
Lin Rui and Peter didn't notice Tom who suddenly didn't speak next to them, they had their own thoughts at this time. Lin Rui was thinking about whether he would receive news from Matt tonight, and the report on the "Clarion Daily" over the weekend would not go well. Peter, on the other hand, was worried about whether the associate professor at the Osborne Group would accept him as an assistant intern, and if he succeeded, he would be able to meet Gwen while he was working.
If Lin Rui hadn't focused too much on their own affairs at this time, they would definitely have noticed Tom's unusual mood. Of course, even if they found out, they wouldn't feel anything. After all, everyone is different, and they don't need to be responsible for the lives of others. In this way, Lin Rui and the others returned home with their own thoughts, and this weekend will be a holiday without activity.
After dinner, Lin Rui, who returned to the room, put his mobile phone on the table, and if there was a message or call, he would see it as soon as possible. He then turned on his computer and began to search for information about Tony Stark, the Frankensteins, the Jayston Gangs, and even Wilson Fisk and the Russian gangsters. Lin Rui has been doing these things for nearly a week, but he hasn't gained much.
Tony's news is a big push on the Internet, because he doesn't care about what others say about him. Where to go to a drinking party every day, which girl to chat with for more than five minutes, and which star to disappear with at night, these messages can be detailed to every minute and every second. However, it didn't help Lin Rui at all.
As for the rest, there is not much news, the Frankenstein family is a noble family with a long history on the surface, and the information on the Internet is also some ordinary introduction. Although some accusations against the family can be found in some corners, they do not form a comprehensive picture.
The Jeston Gang does have some introductions, but it is only a gang in New York, and it will not involve their base camp and some trading locations and content at all.
Wilson Fisk, that is, Jin Ji, Lin Rui unexpectedly did not find a trace of information about him on the Internet, and could only say that he hid it too deeply. There is also very little news about Russian gangsters, and it is impossible to find effective information by relying solely on the Internet public, after all, there is no such magical group as the sunrise masses in the United States.
After flipping through more than a dozen web pages, Lin Rui, who still had no gain, looked at the mobile phone on the table again, hoping that it would move a little.
Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Buzz ~
It seems that Lin Rui's strong expectation has taken effect, and the mobile phone on the table suddenly began to vibrate, and a call came!
Brush!
Stretching out his hand, Lin Rui had already quickly scooped up the phone in his hand. didn't have time to look at the caller ID, Lin Rui had already pressed it in the next second.
"Hey, Matt, you're finally calling me!" Lin Rui couldn't wait to say as soon as he connected. He'd been waiting for almost a week, and if there was no news tonight, he'd be going to Manhattan to find Matt.
“...... Hello, I'm not Matt. However, after a little silence on the other end of the phone, an unfamiliar female voice came from the other end.
"Uh...... Wait!Who are you?" Lin Rui, who was sure that he had heard correctly, was stunned, and quickly looked at the phone number, it was indeed not Matt's, so he asked in surprise.
"My name is Claire and I'm a friend of Matt's. I also know Matt's other identity, and I need your help. Just when Lin Rui was puzzled, the woman on the other end of the phone quickly introduced herself, and at the same time indicated that she needed help.
"Do you know Matt's identity?!What's going on?Claire?" Hearing the words of the woman on the other end of the phone, Lin Rui suddenly became nervous. A person who knows Matt's other identity, a person who comes to him when he encounters something and needs help, then needless to say, it is Matt who has an accident.
"It's Matt, I haven't heard from him for two days! there's no one in the basement, there's no place he's going to heal, and I'm worried that something has happened to him. This call was given to me by Matt the other day and said that if something happens to him, I can call this number for help. Sure enough, Claire on the other end of the phone quickly said what had happened to her.
"Matt is missing?!Is it because something happened to me when I went to collect information about the Jaston Gang?" Hearing Claire's words, Lin Rui's brows furrowed tightly and he thought that this was the most likely scenario.
"Can you help me?" I don't know who to ask for help!" When Lin Rui was a little silent on his side, Claire on the other end of the phone asked anxiously. As one of the few people who knows Matt's other identity, Claire is very worried about Matt.
"Don't worry, I'll help you. I'm going to find Matt, and whatever happens to him, I'm going to bring him back. All you have to do now is calm down, carefully search for clues before Matt's disappearance, and notify me immediately if you find anything. Feeling Claire's worry, Lin Rui hurriedly agreed. Regardless of whether Matt had an accident because of his own reasons, Lin Rui would not let it go, they are allies now!
"Thank you! Stay safe! I don't want you to go missing. ”
"You too!"
Hanging up the phone, Lin Rui had already thought quickly. Matt was missing for two days, the day after he investigated the Jestons. If he had been caught then, the situation would have been very bad now, provided he had not been killed outright.
But of course, Lin Rui thinks that Matt will not die so simply, he is a street hero in the Marvel world, and the aura of the protagonist will envelop him. However, Lin Rui didn't know that because of his appearance, Daredevil's protagonist aura may not be so strong. After all, according to the original script, Daredevil would not provoke the Jayston gang.
"System, do you have any special props that you can recommend to help find people?" After thinking about it for a while, Lin Rui asked the system for help.
Brush!
As soon as Lin Rui's words fell, something that emitted green light popped out of the system mall in his mind. Then the voice of the system came out: "The Armlet of the Confederates, a bronze armband endowed with mystical magic, possesses magical abilities. Worth 100 reward points, are you sure to redeem them?"
Call!
The next moment, the green light dissipated, revealing a palm-sized metal object inside, a square, slightly curved miniature version of the armguard, a bit like a prop in the medieval war scenes in Europe and the United States.
"Sure!" Before he could figure out the effect of this armband, Lin Rui had already bought it. Although he is not very wealthy now, he will not be stingy with a hundred reward points.
Brush!
The next moment, the Confederate armguards that existed in his mind had already dissipated into bits of fluorescent fluorescence. In reality, the fluorescent glow on his right arm converged, slowly forming a small armguard.
"How does this work? Looking at the arm guards that were automatically equipped on his body, Lin Rui then asked the system.
"The Arms of the Alliance are magical items that can help you find the Allies in a special way. All you have to do now is let it know that Matt is your ally, and it will show Matt's location at this point. Knowing that Lin Rui was in a hurry now, the system quickly explained the use of the lower armguard.
"How do you let it know that Matt and I are allies?"
"Simple, you just stick the business card Matt gave you earlier. As long as an item belonging to an ally can be bound to an identity, it's very simple. The system then reminded.
"Okay!" Hearing the system's words, Lin Rui hurriedly took out Matt's business card. It's a good thing he didn't throw it away, otherwise there would be no way to do it now.
Call!
Directly pasting that business card on the arm guard on his right arm, Lin Rui stared at it nervously, waiting for the follow-up changes.
Buzz~Buzz~
Lin Rui was not disappointed, and as soon as the business card touched the armguard, a faint green light emanated from the armguard, which was still dull, and quickly connected to the business card. This lasted for a few seconds, before the green light retracted and the business card slipped off the armguard.
"That's fine?" Looking at the arm guards that had not moved, Lin Rui asked again.
Call!
Before the system could answer, there was movement on the arm guard again. I saw a few ripples on the surface of the armguard, which was originally metal, like flowing water, and then the ripples disappeared, and the entire armguard became as smooth as a TV screen. At this point, there are two small green dots on this display, one of which is bright green, while the other is faint.
"The little green dot represents your allies, and if you put your mind to it, you'll know where Matt is now. "The system is on the side of the timely reminder.
"Got it!" Following the system's reminder, Lin Rui quickly knew Matt's location through the arm guards, and also knew that his condition was not very good at this time.
Brush!
In the next second, Lin Rui had already equipped the phantom suit and rushed out of the window. The operation to rescue Daredevil has officially begun!
