Chapter 7 Daredevil Returns in Vain

As Schiller returned to the apartment again, he could clearly feel that someone was following him. The improved vision brought by the spider sense allowed him to see that someone seemed to be watching him on the other side of the apartment building.

The apartment building opposite was an all-glass structure, and there was a small window inside that reflected light differently from other places, so Schillerming felt it keenly.

His choice to open a clinic in Hell's Kitchen was not without purpose. After these few days of observation, he has basically figured out the daily routine of the residents in the apartment building.

Most of the people living here are office workers and elite gold-collar workers. Most of them are single, have very regular working hours, and have a fixed circle of friends.

Living among such a crowd, it is too easy for agents to find loopholes.

But Hell's Kitchen is different. Although it is the largest slum gang gathering place in Manhattan, New York and even the United States, it has a high population density, a large flow of people, a large number of strangers, and gangs of all sizes are nested in each other. It is really the most dangerous place. It was a suitable place for an outsider like Schiller who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Although life in a high-end apartment is comfortable, it is not necessarily as free as Hell's Kitchen. Schiller believed that if he stayed in that apartment for a few more days, at least four or five of his neighbors would become S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and there would be all kinds of people with unknown origins who would try their best to get close to him. , to obtain certain information, it may be his own, or it may be Stark's. This is the way SHIELD does things. They don't care whether you need privacy or not.

Hell's Kitchen is slightly different from Gotham. Although Hell's Kitchen also has countless gangs, large and small, the dangers are worse than Gotham.

There are more poor people, gamblers and drug addicts there. There are no scarecrows or clowns, nor any big-name villains.

The vast majority of people there are ordinary people. Although guns and drugs are rampant, the victims are more ordinary people than special people with supernatural powers.

Schiller plans to make it his first Marvel base.

Stark was very efficient in his work. It didn't take long for him to find a way to encourage some congressmen to allocate a hospital quota and put it in Hell's Kitchen.

Some lawmakers took the opportunity to trumpet their kindness. New York claims to never give up on any of its people, but they never expected this hospital to actually open. You know, it's Hell's Kitchen. A place where even the devil will be cooked.

Where to open a hospital? Don't be kidding me. Unless the hospital can be built like a concentration camp, with tanks and cannons piled at the entrance, and the doctors and nurses inside all carrying machine guns, there might be some hope, otherwise all the medicine there will be destroyed overnight. The space will be snapped up.

But no matter how unbelieving the congressmen were and how numb the people of Hell's Kitchen were, a small psychological clinic was still established in Hell's Kitchen.

As the most well-known and largest slum in Manhattan, the eight blocks here are just a nickname.

In fact, this place is much wider than the eight blocks. There are dozens of intricate streets, large and small, and there are about hundreds of gangs intersecting here.

Some people say that the boss of Hell's Kitchen is Jin Bing, but in fact this is not the case. In fact, Jin Bing's business scope extends far beyond Hell's Kitchen. His criminal industry chain exists throughout the eastern United States and even the East Coast.

His business spans the United States. Hell's Kitchen may have been involved in some of his drug and contraband business, but he didn't actually live here or keep an eye on it.

Daredevil, who was born in Hell's Kitchen, is his mortal enemy, but they have almost never set the battlefield in Hell's Kitchen. Spidey, who has had several fights with Kingpin, is still just an ignorant high school student at this time.

Kingpin's ambitions go far beyond unifying Hell's Kitchen, and he doesn't care about the chaos in Hell's Kitchen. Because there are all kinds of riots, robberies, kidnappings, fights and missing persons cases here every day, making some troubles is nothing at all.

Therefore, when Kingpin, who was far away in San Francisco, heard that several of his men had gone crazy in Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, he only thought that they had taken too many drugs and did not take it to heart at all.

But in Hell's Kitchen, a terrifying rumor gradually spread - they heard that there was a terrifying strange doctor living in the psychological clinic opened on Ninth Lane at the end of Mary Street, and everyone came to the door. The gang members who collected protection money or extorted money from him all ran out in fear before long, and then went crazy.

When this incident first started, several well-known gangsters who did not believe in evil had led their men in. But before long, they felt like they had encountered some kind of monster. He started fighting with the air crazily, struggling, screaming, running away, and crying, as if he was possessed by some ghost.

This incident caused quite a stir, and almost the entire Mary Street heard about it, and the rumors spread quickly.

From one word to the next, everyone has heard that you must not go to the Ninth Alley. There is a terrible curse there that will make you see the things you fear most, and eventually you will be frightened to the point of going crazy.

Later, Schiller, who lived there, began to go out for activities. Everyone heard that he was the owner of the clinic who lived in Ninth Lane. People realized that it was not actually a ghost, but a weird psychiatrist.

According to Schiller's explanation, the gang bosses had done too much to worry about, and he just gave them some friendly psychological counseling.

As for why they get mad at gain and loss? Maybe it's because evil is punished.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The people in Hell's Kitchen would be damned if they believed what he said, but for everyone who lives here, it is their consensus that evil people will be rewarded.

No one who was born in Hell's Kitchen feels guilty. Crime is normal here, and criminals are the majority of people here. Do you feel guilty? What kind of conscience do you expect from a man who has been selling guns and drugs, getting into fights, threatening and extorting, and gambling since he was a teenager? How could such a person feel guilty? Are you still so guilty that you're going crazy?

Everyone who heard about this thought that Schiller was a black magician who could put curses on those people.

As for Schiller, he would not explain. The fear gas brought from DC is indeed very useful. Although it is only the initial version, it is still very effective against ordinary people without special powers.

From the moment he discovered that he could travel between the two worlds with objects in his hands, he had the idea of ​​killing him.

Although the power systems of Marvel and DC are different, there are actually many things that can be sold to each other. Of course, there are also many things that can be exchanged with each other to deal with the enemies of both sides.

For example, if Schiller used fear gas in Gotham, once the news got out, and Jonathan saw the symptoms of those patients, he would definitely think that it was his own fear gas.

But in Marvel, how could Jonathan know about Marvel's situation? Schiller naturally does not need to pay any copyright fees.

After this terrifying rumor spread, almost no gangsters would come to trouble Schiller.

Of course, the consequence of getting involved with this group of criminals is that a superhero comes to your door.

On a slightly cold night in Manhattan, Schiller had just made a cup of hot coffee. He closed and locked the door of the clinic, preparing to end the day's fishing work, have a good sleep, and continue to harass Stark tomorrow. .

Just when he put the coffee cup on the table, he heard a crisp sound from the door. Then he turned around and saw a tall man in red tights standing outside the door in the dim light. .

Schiller turned around, picked up the coffee cup, and said, "You seem to be a little late, Mr. Daredevil."

"Do you know me, doctor?" Daredevil said.

"Of course I know you, Daredevil. You're famous in Hell's Kitchen," Schiller said.

"But you seem to have been here not long ago," Daredevil said.

"But I am more familiar with your other identity, Lawyer Matt."

Daredevil was obviously shocked, and he didn't know how Schiller figured out his true identity.

Before he could ask, Schiller said: "You have achieved outstanding results at Columbia University, and your career path has gone very smoothly after graduation. Not only have you become a good lawyer, but you also seem to have opened a A law firm of your own. Matt, can you tell me why you want to become a Daredevil? Isn’t the pride of supporting justice enough for you?”

"Lawyer, help justice..." Daredevil snorted coldly and said, "Maybe you think so. Yes, most people think so. They think lawyers should speak out and defend vulnerable groups, but in reality superior……"

"Actually? Do you think lawyers shouldn't do this?"

"Of course I should, I mean..."

"You think you can't do it as a lawyer? So, you want to take another approach. But what you can't do as a lawyer, can you do it by wearing a ridiculously tight suit and a mask? Yet?"

Daredevil said angrily: "My decision has nothing to do with you!"

"You know what? Your tone just now sounded very much like a rebellious little boy." Schiller said.

Only then did Daredevil realize that he had fallen into Schiller's language trap from the moment he entered the door. He had been guiding the rhythm of the conversation, which not only exposed his true identity, but also touched the sensitive points in his heart. . He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "I have to admit that you are a good psychiatrist, and you are good at using some tricks in conversations. But I still have to ask, who are you? Are you coming to Hell's Kitchen? What's the purpose? Why are those people crazy?"

"You have too many questions. I can only answer one tonight. Obviously, I have been working for a day and am very tired. You can't disturb my rest. After all, I am not a gang member and I have not broken any laws." Schiller said .

"But you drove those gang members crazy."

"You have no evidence."

"It's the police who need evidence."

"Do you think you are nobler than the police?"

"Stop talking in circles with me," Daredevil said.

"If you listen to me carefully, you will know where I come from and how I know your identity."

Daredevil has a headache. He really doesn't like dealing with these cunning opponents, which requires him to stay highly focused at all times. And because of the shock in his heart just now, he no longer remembered the conversation he had with Schiller when he first arrived. If he was asked to recall it now, his mind would go blank.

But if he couldn't answer, it would make him look stupid, so he remained silent.

"It seems that you have forgotten the conversation we had a minute ago. I really don't know. To become a superhero, you don't have a good memory." Schiller mocked.

Daredevil was secretly annoyed and vowed to remember every word Schiller said in the future.

"Two years ago, I taught at Columbia University. I saw the list of outstanding graduates, and your name was on it, Matt. When you filled in the destination after graduation, you said you would open a law firm. Also in Kansas, although I am a psychology professor, I know your former teacher, and he told me in his words that you did realize your dream. "

"Don't change the subject. What I want to know is, how do you know Daredevil is Matt?"

"You may not remember that when you first started on this road, you were wearing the black and yellow clothes your father wore during matches. After I came to Hell's Kitchen, I once went to see an underground boxing match. It happened to be Yes, the boss there seems to have never changed the style of clothing worn by boxers in order to save costs.”

"I understood that Daredevil might have been born here, and he must be related to the underground black market boxers. After investigation, the gang members you killed were all related to the death of your father. And your father's death was found Of course, it’s not difficult to know your identity.”

"Why are you investigating me? Do you have a guilty conscience?" Matt asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that if you want to rent a house, you have to know who the landlord is and what he does. It's best to have good dealings with him."

"I'm not the landlord here." Daredevil snorted coldly.

"Oh, really? Then it seems that I have found the wrong person. I should go to Kingpin. But I seem to have become enemies with him. I vaguely remember that one of the gang members who came to visit me mentioned him. The boss is Jin Bin.”

"Jin Bin? Do you have news about Jin Bin?"

"That's a bit of it. Just think of me as paying your rent. I heard one of his men say that their boss is very impatient with a boy named Daredevil. He plans to find someone to kill you, a fly. , so you’d better be careful lately.”

Finally Daredevil hurried back to his station.

It wasn't until he went back that he realized that none of his goals tonight had been achieved.

He neither found out who Schiele was, nor warned him to calm down, nor found out whether he had any relationship with the gangsters.

I don't know what method he used to drive those people crazy.

Matt patted his head. He suddenly felt that Schiller's metaphor was correct. He was like renting the house to an unknown tenant. This tenant also paid the rent in advance, which made him happy in a short period of time. There was no way to take any forceful measures to make him move away, so he could only be allowed to roam around Hell's Kitchen without hesitation.
