Infinite Possession of Beauty
Chapter 58: ConversationSeeking Recommendation
Ended the battle for financial companies in the Midtown Circle.
The four of them found a Chinese restaurant nearby as a temporary base.
"So, who are you and why did you appear in the midtown financial company to fight these weirdly dressed ninjas?" Jessica raised her slender eyebrows and looked at the weird people in front of her, especially in Ma A few eyes rested on the mask on Te's face.
"The Defenders, a team that joins forces to fight against the power of Shouhehui." Although the help of Luke Cage and A Xing enabled Matt to successfully defeat the Shouhehui Ninja entrenched in the financial company of the Midtown Circle, they have repeatedly The battle still left some scars on his hands, and Matt panted back while covering the stab wound on his shoulder.
"Guardian? It sounds like the name of a third-rate gang."
"I said before, I should change the name." Luke Cage shrugged and glanced at Matt sitting in the chair.
A Xing: "No, I think it sounds pretty good."
Luke Cage: "A Xing, are you sure you really know what the defenders mean?"
A Xing: "I see, you only say that you simply don't like being nicknamed, just like the nicknames that the old man gave you, you also don't like it."
Luke Cage: "That's because Dad's nickname is really not that good."
A Xing: "Since you have so many ideas, why didn't you bring them up when you first named them."
Luke Cage: "That's because I didn't even want to join you at the time."
Ah Xing: "Then why do you propose it again now."
Luke Cage: "That's because the name is really bad, and it's been complained about."
...
Looked at A Xing and Luke Cage who were bickering with each other with interest.
Jessica turned her head and said to Matt, who was treating the wound on the chair, "It seems that your teammates seem to have this objection to the name defender."
"But at least when fighting, they are my reliable back." After dealing with the wound on his arm, Matt clenched his fist and felt the impact of the injury on his movements, turning his face to Jessica and asked: " Who are you? I don’t think a private investigator can do what you are."
"Perhaps, I am the one who is more special." He said to Matt, Jessica immediately explained the reason for her appearance in the Midtown Financial Company: "I recently encountered a threat because of a case. After tracing it down, it was found that all of this was related to an organization called Shouhehui. After following the clues, I came to the Midtown Circle Finance Company and I met you."
"You know about the hand-to-hand association, this is not something that private investigators can touch." Matt frowned and asked.
"I have my own news channel." Jessica pretended to be mysterious.
"In fact, your so-called news channel stands by your side."
In the antique shop, Li Ran used the avatar to observe the situation in the Chinese restaurant and couldn't help but silently add something to Jessica's words.
...
"I heard that your recent plans have not been going well, Mrs. Gao."
Looking at the battle traces left by the defenders and others at the Midtown Financial Corporation, a thin, silver-haired old man approached Mrs. Gao and said in a hoarse and low voice.
"I was negligent." Mrs. Gao leaned on a cane, glanced over the situation of the financial company in the Midtown Circle, and paused at the big hole in the wall: "I thought it was just a few small mice that were solved easily, but it turned out. big trouble."
"Time is running out, I can feel that the strength maintained in the body is gradually fading."
The skinny old man reminded Mrs. Gao beside him: "It seems that time has found us again."
"Relax, my people have found clues about iron fist in Cambodia, and we will continue to live for a long time."
For centuries, not only did Mrs. Gao and the others let go of life and death, on the contrary, they were even more unwilling to face the arrival of death. The original purpose of the establishment of the Shouhehui was that the five people existed in order to continue to live forever.
"Hope, everything goes well." The skinny old man nodded, looked at everything in the Midtown Circle Financial Company, and said: "Do you need it or not, I will take care of these guys for you."
"No need." She shook her head, Madam Gao turned around slowly on her crutches, and said as she walked: "Sometimes, there are some things that don't need to be done by ourselves. I just know that there are people who are just like us. These troublemakers hate them."
"You mean... Jin Bin?"
...
"So, what else does your news channel tell you?"
In the Chinese restaurant, Luke Cage asked Jessica while eating not very authentic Chinese food.
"More than you think... Is this shrimp?" Turning to Luke Cage, Jessica asked suddenly, pointing to a dish that came up in front of him.
"No, it should be a pork dish." Next to him, Matt replied calmly.
"How do you know that you can't even see it?!" Even though Matt had been clear in the previous battles, but after hearing him understate the difference between the dishes, Jessica couldn't help it. Surprised.
"A kind of instinct. When your eyes cannot see, the abilities of other sense organs will be magnified to replace the functions of the eyes."
"I know that this kind of ability is somewhat similar to our minds in martial arts." A Xing said, showing a sense of existence.
"You are all a bunch of weird people." Jessica couldn't help but glanced over the few people in front of her, and then laughed at herself: "Of course, me too."
After converging her emotions, Jessica began to talk about the news she had received from Li Ran about the Shouhehui: "As far as I know, the Shouhehui is a very old and evil organization, and they hold a very magical power. I came to New York with evil motives and recruited a group of people. The parties in my case disappeared because of them, although I still don’t know what their motives are."
Luke Cage: "Can you tell me what magical power they hold?"
Jessica: "Does immortality count?"
"..."
Jessica's words silenced the two present. Although Matt has been fighting with Shouhehui since the past, he is also not clear that they actually possess such a mysterious and terrifying power.
"How is it possible to live forever?" Luke Cage shook his head, somewhat unacceptable.
"It's impossible for a human being to block the blade with his body or kick through the wall with one foot."
Wait a minute, what's going on with this visual perception?
Jessica's words were inexplicably familiar to Li Ran's ears.
