Chapter 21: Luke Cage

Recently, she's been investigating several serial corpse mutilation murders in Hell's Kitchen.

Seeing that the clues were found, this morning, her lead boss called her into the office to talk and told her to give up the investigation.

"Impossible!"

Without even thinking about it, she refused her boss's order.

But her boss warned her that the case was now handled by the CIA, and they had no right to intervene!

Knowing that there is a big secret hidden here, the unwilling Misty finds Luke Cage and expects his help.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it first. ”

Having dealt with Misty more than once, Luke knows who the other person is, and he also knows that every time the other party finds him, it will be a big problem.

After thinking about his girlfriend, he didn't agree to it, but would consider it according to what the other party said.

"Whew... The situation is like this......"

Handing over a bag of papers, Misty explained as she motioned for the other party to open it and take a look.

"Recently, there have been a number of serial murders and mutilation cases in Hell's Kitchen.

At first, everyone thought it was a vendetta or a fight between gangs......"

"Luke, you know.

Those gangs often do this kind of stupid thing! ”

"But this time, things changed after we got a corpse by chance!"

Opening the file tape and flipping through it casually, Luke fixed his eyes on a photograph.

In the photo, it is a dead body.

Male, of Mexican descent, looks to be around 30 years old.

There were obvious gunshot marks on his body, which visually showed the cause of his death.

But... The strangest part is his head!

"Shet, what is this?!"

Luke Cage holds up the picture and asks Misty a question.

If it weren't for his understanding, Misty wouldn't have been able to joke with him about this kind of thing, he wouldn't have believed it!

"I don't know, Luke... Really, it looks like a mysterious lifeform.

In short, it can't be human! ”

(κ’ͺꇴκ’ͺ; Huh??

Seeing Luke looking at her suspiciously, Misty shrugged helplessly.

"Luke, I didn't mean to lie to you, I really don't know."

Misty didn't hide any information, she really didn't know much about the creature.

"So, it's true!"

Luke Cage was really surprised.

In the past, he was all man-to-man, with a body of steel, and he beat his opponents like a street hero.

It's as natural as bullying little brothers, and every time, I always have a sense of accomplishment.

Now, Misty... What's going on?

Let him fight monsters?

Hey, Misty... You're too confident in me, aren't you?!

I'm just a little thicker than ordinary people, and my strength and ability to resist hits are a little bit stronger!

Luke complained in his heart while listening to the other party's explanation.

β€œ...... Some of the information I know is in that folder.

The number of that creature will never be small, conservatively estimated to be between a dozen and a dozen! ”

"They can reach out with some kind of fleshly changing whip blade, that kind of power is very strong and fast.

The good news is that they are limited to human flesh, so firearms are still quite lethal to them!

But the bad news is also obvious.

We know too little about them, and it's easy to suffer a big loss! ”

Misty paused, looking at Luke expectantly.

"Luke... Now, are you still willing to take this commission? ”

Silent.

Pinching a photo, Luke's eyes filled with anger.

It was a black gangster who had been severely lectured by him during a robbery of an Asian two days earlier.

The other party promised him that he would not do it again next time, and asked him to let himself go.

I didn't expect that now, two days later, I saw the other party's body from the photo.

Moreover, in a cruel way of dismemberment!

Fack!!

He exhaled deeply, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and put the photos and documents back into the file bag before solemnly saying to Misty.

"This case, I, Luke Cage, took it!"

……

When I got home, I handed the food to my girlfriend, went to the study, and took out the documents and photos in the file bag.

One after another, Luke looked at it very seriously.

Not only the information of the various deceased, the report of the examination, but even the speculation of some police officers.

In the end, it is the clues that Misty obtained in the investigation.

Thinking, he held up a photograph.

The man in the photo, in his forties, has slightly pale skin.

He was thin and not tall, with deep-set eye sockets, long thin cheeks, and short black hair that was yellow at the roots.

He was wearing a gray shabby coat and his eyes were evasive, looking like an addict.

Mocha Sas, his name.

Below the name, there is also a line of small letters - Black Fungus Bar.

There is no need to investigate at all, and Misty has prepared the direction for him next!

"If she hadn't been stopped by her boss now, I'm afraid she would have found out the truth a long time ago!"

Shaking his head amusedly, Luke picked up a picture and put it in his arms.

"Still, that's fine."

......

Eight p.m., Black Fungus Bar.

The stage flickered, followed by the music, along the dancing crowd, and in the innermost corner, Mocha Sass was sipping a beer with a worried face.

"Falke, Falke......"

He cursed incessantly, knowing that he hadn't been home for two weeks.

Every time I think of my wife, I feel a heart-piercing pain.

Can... He didn't dare go home!

That monster, the monster that took over his wife's body!

"Damn, damn it... How could such a monster appear in the world!! ”

Pulling his hair hard, Mocha broke down and wanted to cry.

He was terrified, and he endured it alone... Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon!

At the table to his left, Luke Cage awkwardly declined a girl's invitation once again, sipping a drink in his sunglasses.

He had been sitting for more than 20 minutes, and he didn't want to startle the snake, so he decided to wait and watch for a while.

After 30 minutes, the ballroom grew noisier as the bar became more crowded.

Bang!

Unable to stand the noisy atmosphere, Mocha scolded, slammed his glass down on the table, got up and pushed open the side door of the bar, and staggered out.

Quickly standing up, Luke Cage followed in the footsteps of the other party and quickly left the bar.

Trample... Trample......

His feet were heavy, and he was holding on to the wall with one hand, and after walking for a while, Mocha couldn't help but bend over and vomit.

"Shet, I've drunk too much......"

Wiping his mouth, he looked up, and suddenly found a "wall" standing in front of him.

Startled, the man hurriedly stepped back, only to find that the place where he vomited just now was some... Not quite right?

β€œ......”

Luke looked depressed, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the filth from his clothes disgustingly.
