Chapter 716 Wilson's Decision, Seriously Injured Matt Murdock (1/2)
Chapter 716 Wilson's decision, seriously injured Matt Murdoch
Wilson and Wesley returned to the car and left the Pepsi House with their packed lunches.
"What he predicted may not be true." Wesley said in a deep voice, "Maybe he just happened to see you and Mrs. Gao talking in the park, so... he was playing tricks."
"But it may not be fake, right?"
Wesley wanted to say something, but the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
When the call was connected, a vicissitudes of life and cold Chinese pronunciation came from it.
"Okay, I got it."
A few seconds later, Wesley looked at Wilson with an inexplicable expression, "Mrs. Gao, she wants to talk to you."
"Where?"
"Your residence, she is heading there."
Wilson took a deep breath, "Now I know why Stark came to Gaius.
Notify our people not to disturb Gaius's Pepsi House, let alone provoke the owner of the Pepsi House.
If anyone disobeys, just kill him!"
"Is it necessary to take it so seriously just for a fortune teller?"
"The world is changing, Wesley.
The devil in Hell's Kitchen, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Hulk, Tony Stark, etc., the world is moving in a direction that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
I have a hunch that there will be more and more extraordinary people like this in the future.
Unless we also have a power that can match them, it is better not to provoke these extraordinary people. They are not as easy to deal with as ordinary troubles.
If possible, I hope to reach a cooperation with Gaius." Wilson smiled, then changed the subject and said, "But this seems impossible."
"Why? We can give him what he needs."
"No, we can't give him what he needs.
Aaron Gaius seems easygoing, but he is actually very cautious.
He doesn't know who I am, but I can feel that he knows what kind of person I am.
But from beginning to end, his attitude towards me...no fear, no disdain, no disgust, no awe, only indifference and the most basic courtesy.
Such a person must not be underestimated. He treats me as an ordinary stranger, and we should treat him like a stranger accordingly.
He will not be our enemy, but he will not be our friend, provided that we do not take the initiative to provoke him.
An enemy with powerful power is not terrible, but such a person who can know the future to a certain extent is terrible."
"I understand." Wesley nodded seriously, "We can't control other people, but I promise that our people will not disturb him."
......
Gaius Pepsi House, Pharmacy.
Aaron drew a dense array of spells, and a golden bullet floated in front of him, absorbing the magic of the runes bit by bit.
Ziz! Ziz!
As the spells continued to blend, golden aura flowed out from the surface of the bullet, but along with the aura, there were also extremely fine cracks.
Aaron held the bullet in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little toothache when he saw the fine cracks on the surface.
"The solution of the unicorn horn was only used to make a semi-finished product, sandwiched between the seventh and eighth enchantments.
But it is also an improvement."
At this time, Abe's voice came to his ears, "Master, someone is coming."
"Huh?" Aaron put away the bullet and walked out of the pharmacy.
But as soon as he came out, he saw a scene that made him speechless.
Matt Murdock, with his upper half of his face covered, walked in tremblingly. He was covered in blood, and sharp knife wounds were almost everywhere on his body. His nightgown was also wet.
"What's the reason this time?" Aaron asked, suppressing his anger. "It's almost eleven o'clock at night, and you come here like this. You are not afraid of nightmares, but I am afraid!"
"Please." Matt was breathing weakly, "I don't want to disturb you, but I swam out of the river and am the closest to you."
"Shut up!" Aaron rolled his eyes and said coldly, "I made an exception last time, but I will never do so this time.
My sympathy is also limited, so don't expect me to save you."
"I know." Matt nodded reluctantly, "I just want to borrow your place to rest for a while. Only your place is not searched, so it is safer."
Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly, and the two guests who came here to eat a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind, but he said nothing.
"Can I make a phone call?"
"What if I say no?"
Matt was silent for a few seconds, and took out a few soaked bills from his blood-stained clothes, "This is all I have, but it should be enough to make a phone call."
Aaron:......
Six, you are really six!
"Who to call?"
"Claire, you should know her."
"Haha!" Aaron couldn't help laughing, "You are really calm and rational. You can even think of calling a doctor directly."
"Can I have the phone?
I am much more seriously injured this time than last time. I need her help."
Aaron snorted and reluctantly handed him the phone, "Take care of yourself. Remember to clean up my place after she comes.
Also, I have been sleeping on the second floor tonight. I don't know what happened, but I don't want the store to be stolen, understand?"
After saying that, he picked up Abe and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor.
......
The next day.
Aaron woke up early in the morning, signed in, and carried Abe to the first floor.
But as soon as he came down, his face darkened, "Hou Lixie! Wasn't what I said last night clear enough?
Why are you still here with me? It's fine if you didn't leave, but why didn't she leave?"
"Matt was going to leave, but I persuaded him to stay." Claire said embarrassedly, "He's in a very bad state now, so it's better not to take any action."
"What does that have to do with me?" Aaron said unhappily, "If he really wants to leave, do you think you can persuade him?"
"Can't you have a little sympathy?" Claire frowned.
"You're talking to me about sympathy?" Aaron seemed to have heard a funny joke, "There's an ancestral motto in our family that says, don't be a good person unless you're ready to face trouble."
"And him." Aaron pointed at Matt Murdoch lying on the sofa, "He's a trouble in my eyes.
You should have more say than me! Do you dare to say that you haven't been implicated by him?"
Claire opened her mouth and was speechless.
She did move once because of the incident, and was arrested and tortured by several corrupt policemen.
But she did not agree with Aaron's actions, because Matt was a hero who secretly guarded the city every night.
Thanks to him, ordinary people like them can feel a sense of security, and providing him with some help within their ability is also a kind of repayment.
"You shouldn't be such a person." Claire was a little distressed, "When Kilgrave was harming people, didn't you also help Jessica? Why..."
"The reason why I helped Jessica Jones kill Kilgrave is because Kilgrave listed me as a must-kill target.
If I don't kill him, he will find a way to kill me, so I cooperated with Jessica Jones.
In fact, I especially regret working with her, because if I work alone, my efficiency will definitely be much higher."
Claire's mouth twitched, and she rubbed her face in disbelief. His temple, "Then why did you ask him to call me last night?"
"I have sympathy, but not much." Aaron curled his lips and said confidently: "I pretended to know nothing. He came to my house in the middle of the night as a thief, and I would not be implicated by him.
But it was wrong for him to lie here the next day. What if he was recognized and walked out of my store? Even if I didn't save him, it would become that I saved him."
Claire:......
That makes sense, no, it seems that something is wrong.
"Then what should we do now? Leave?"
"Stay here first!" Aaron sighed deeply, "What's the difference between him walking on the street in a black suit and exposing himself? Go to his house and find him a decent piece of clothing. When he regains his mobility, leave here for me."
Claire nodded and left the Pepsi House immediately.
"Thank you." Matt said weakly.
"Shut up!" Aaron cursed angrily, "What happened last night was a coincidence, but if it happens a third time."
"I can't guarantee that." Matt forced a bitter smile. He knew Aaron didn't want to get into trouble, but the problem was... he couldn't control it when the accident happened.
"I don't care if you can promise or not. If it happens a third time, I will throw you out without hesitation. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
"I know."
"Since it's already like this, tell me, how did you get so seriously injured?" Aaron looked at the wounds on Matt's body with interest: "Knife wounds, and each one is very even, shoulders, chest, abdomen, back, waist, legs have the same wounds.
A person can injure a master like you like this. This city is really getting more and more dangerous."
"I thought you were not interested in this kind of thing."
"But I am interested in the living environment. I have to know this world, no, the world is a little bigger. I have to know how many dark sides of this city that can threaten me are hidden, especially the part you led to me.
If someone retaliates against me, I have to know who it is!" Aaron said seriously, while controlling his heartbeat, so as not to let a blind vigilante with a well-developed hearing feel anything unusual.
Matt was silent for a few seconds, and hesitantly uttered the two words "gangster".
"Forget it!" Aaron sneered, "I have seen New York gangs before, but there are probably not many who can play with knives to this extent!"
"Japanese gangs."
"Hmm?" Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is interesting."
"It was a trap." Matt said in a deep voice, "In order to lure me out, they killed an old woman. She had no relatives in the world and was alone..."
"Sorry to interrupt, I am not interested in the old woman's experience.
Maybe she is very pitiful, but there are many such people on the street, so can you talk about the main point?"
"That person is very special. He can slow down his heartbeat, lower his body temperature, and fight like a ninja.
No, he is a ninja."
"Ninja?" Aaron raised a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth. He happened to have a ninja army under his command, maybe he could pull it out to play.
No, that would be too eye-catching. Although life is a little boring now, it is stable!
"You were agile and decisive, and I was at a disadvantage."
"And you managed to escape?"
"More or less!
I led him to the gasoline barrel, then blew up the light and burned him to death.
But when I was seriously injured, the mastermind brought people over, and the mantis stalked the cicada, while the oriole was behind.
But I was luckier, I broke out of the window and jumped into the river, barely saving my life."
"Is this what happened last night? It was really exciting!"
"By the way, you should know this city very well!
You are blind, but your other senses are extremely developed. I think you can't hide many things from you."
"What do you want to know?"
"How many people are like you?" Aaron said directly. When asked, "Kilgrave, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and you Matt Murdock.
I already know four abnormal people, I want to know if there are any others."
"As far as I know...no."
"Well..." Aaron pondered for a moment, "Let me put it another way, people like you who can deal with dozens of people, or...creatures."
"Why are you asking this?"
"If I meet one, I can hide in advance."
"I have heard of bars opened by vampires, and I have also heard of people who are abnormal in their bodies and have terrifying self-healing effects that cannot be killed, but these are rumors, and these rumors disappeared within a few days."
Maybe not! Either they were destroyed, or they were captured and studied by some organizations, or they escaped.
It is better to believe it than not to believe it.
He still remembers the old man and woman he met at the charity gala, the unprecedented powerful psychic ability, and the terrifying energy buried deep in his body and in deep sleep. These are the reasons why he lives a low-key life!
That is, his permission in SHIELD is not high enough, and he cannot access encrypted supernatural events, otherwise he can just check the database directly.
"Anything else besides these?
Have you heard of rumors about mythical creatures such as angels and demons?"
"Haha!" Matt smiled speechlessly, but accidentally touched his wound, causing his smile to be a little distorted, "If you want to know about these, I can recommend a church to you.
I have a good relationship with the priest. He is a very kind and considerate person. He certainly doesn't mind explaining the Bible to you."
"It seems that I haven't heard of it."
"I have been living in Hell's Kitchen. Even if my senses are well developed, the information I can get is very limited.
Besides, even if demons and angels really exist, it is not our turn to care about them. There is Satan in hell and God in heaven, right?"
Aaron:......
