New York has been bustling these days, and the Stark Industries Expo has attracted people from all over the world.
But Luke and Selena's life is very peaceful.
Fudge has already got the home improvement repair company out, and Luke's investment has followed suit.
Now the few old workers and more than a dozen temporary workers have begun to receive the information sent by the little snail, running around the streets and alleys of Manhattan, door-to-door to solicit business.
Bent Bennett, a former employee of the Department of Defense, is already a special researcher at the New Hope Laboratory in Nassau County. He has a separate establishment and enjoys the budget alone, without having to argue with others.
The name New Hope was chosen by Luke thousands of times, and it was the New Hope from the previous life.
Luke hopes that the various technologies in this laboratory can be like the "piglets and poultry" in the farm, which can go in small and thin, and come out fat and fat.
And then Minty and Nikki are having a hot fight—it's true. Hit hot.
Monica's neighborhood is in Harlem, and the homes of the three girls are actually not far away, and commuting is not troublesome.
As long as there is nothing wrong, the three of them will go to Nikki's house for a fight, and then Nikki will drive the two of them home.
With new friends, Minty hasn't had time to come and play with gold nuggets recently.
It was quiet for a few days, and it wasn't until nine o'clock that night that Luke went out with Selena and Nugget.
"Are you sure it's an important lair for the Hand?" Selina asked after him.
Luke knew that she just thought it was too boring to bury her head in the sewer, so she just said casually: "I have photographed the ninjas in red going in and out twice, and they were carrying things. They are pissing with hands. Will do things like moving bricks."
Selena: "What do you think is in there?"
Luke: "Snail's calculations, those things are probably people."
Selena was surprised: "The Hand...doesn't seem to engage in human trafficking? At least our information doesn't show such news."
Luke: "Yeah, so I'm curious who they're going to get there."
While chatting, the two got out of the sewer.
The deodorization system of the battle armor in the alley was activated, and a cloud of smoke floated in the darkness, and then there was silence again.
The two people in stealth went straight to their destination—an old factory building by the river in Manhattan.
The two of them and the dog didn't stay outside. Luke entered from the front, and Selina blocked the back door and groped inside.
After entering, the two felt that something was wrong here.
It's too quiet here, it doesn't look like there are people active.
Apart from the walkways, most places are visibly deserted and dusty.
As a stronghold, this situation is very abnormal.
After a while, Luke touched the top floor of the sixth floor with his supernatural perception, walked straight into a room, and frowned.
In the room, more than a dozen half-grown children were locked in iron cages one by one, with infusion tubes inserted into their bodies.
The infusion tube did not inject any liquid into the children, but drew blood from their bodies, pooled it into a glass jar, and then flowed into a stone container that was a bit like a coffin and a bit like a large bottle.
Luke's face darkened.
This doesn't seem like a good idea.
The identities of two or three children were quickly confirmed on the lens. They did not have any criminal records, but were civilians with real information.
Then, the number of children whose identities were locked increased, more than half of them.
Luke snorted coldly, raised his hand to wipe his waist, and threw it out violently.
Two bat darts spun out and sank silently into the darkness.
With two puffs, the two ninjas in red fell from the high corner and hit the ground heavily.
Luke lifted his invisibility in the darkness outside the door, his black cloak drooped, and his blood-red eyes gleamed.
Today he came wearing a bat armor, originally he didn't intend to kill, but the scene before him made him extremely angry.
Batman doesn't kill people, but these Hand ninjas don't count.
After the two ninjas fell, there was still no systematic kill prompt.
Luke walked over, picked up the two corpses and walked out the door.
The detection function of the armor has been activated, and the data obtained is very abnormal.
With a sullen face, he tore off the ninja's clothes, and saw a very obvious incision in the shape of a Y on the man's chest.
Luke immediately tore off the clothes of another ninja beside him, and also found a Y-shaped incision on his chest.
He squinted his eyes, stood up, and the two bodies where his thoughts moved were taken into the first space.
System: Kill two resurrected ninjas from the Killing Guild, and the task is completed.
The total task experience is 3000, and the points are 3000.
The task contribution rate is 100%, gain experience 3000, points 3000.
Luke sneered: Interesting.
The only things that can be brought into No. 1 space are dead objects, such as dead people, or dead animals and bugs.
These two ninjas didn't show any signs of being killed, so they shouldn't be dead, but their "corpses" could be put into space one.
After the corpse was taken away, the system issued a kill prompt.
The order is reversed, and the "resurrected ninja" in the system prompt reveals a lot of information.
However, Luke didn't want to delve into this issue for the time being, as there were more than a dozen children whose blood was drawn.
Saving people is what Batman should do.
Walking into the room again, Luke already had an extra medicine kit in his hand.
He casually tore off the locks on the iron cages, pulled out the infusion tubes from the children, and then bandaged them to stop the bleeding. The detection function of the battle armor was constantly reporting the physical conditions of these children.
For the time being, their lives are not in danger, but when they will die is another matter.
Selena's reminder came: "The situation is not right. I called the police, and the police car is coming, but there are also people from the Hand, and there are quite a few of them."
Luke saw a group of ninjas in red on the drone approaching from the dark alley, and sneered: "It's okay, you and the Cerberus don't move, and the fish that escaped the net or the next batch of reinforcements will do it again. Give them all to me."
While speaking, he walked out of the room where the child was held, and stood in the passage outside the door.
He didn't activate the invisibility function, just stood there quietly.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking wind came from the right side of the passage, followed by more than a dozen shurikens spinning out of the darkness.
Luke wiped his hands around his waist, and a series of bat darts swarmed towards the right side of the passage like a swarm of bats coming out of their holes to hunt.
In the soft clanging, the flying shuriken was directly hit by the bat dart, and the arc drawn by the bat dart was even more unpredictable, disappearing into the passages on both sides.
There was a continuous muffled sound of puffing, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, but there was no scream.
On the right side of the passage, it was quiet again.
Luke looked sideways to the right side of the passage, as if he could penetrate the darkness over there.
The next moment, his figure disappeared into the air, as if a strong wind had blown through the passage, countless dust rolled up and covered the passage on the right.
