Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 66 The Devil in Hell's Kitchen

After the destruction caused by Thanos' snap began, the scope of the crisis instantly expanded to the entire universe, and for the Earth, the impact on some cities was even more serious.

Hell's Kitchen is one of them. Similarly, some masked heroes who have not been presented to the public have also been affected by this irresistible powerful force.

In Su Ze's impression, Daredevil should be one of the surviving superheroes, which is why he came to this law firm in the first place.

But what he didn't expect was that the situation here was obviously more complicated than he expected.

"Can you tell me in detail?" Su Ze looked directly at the old woman opposite him and tried his best to make his tone sound kinder.

"There's nothing much to say. As you can see, this place has been abandoned for a long time. The building has been blocked off since that incident happened." The old woman closed the door and did not come out or close it.

Su Ze looked back at the law firm's sign. "Are the people from this firm also on Shuomie's list?"

Hearing Su Ze's question, the old woman's expression changed obviously, as if she was reluctant to mention this word, and she muttered, "We usually don't say 'extinguished' directly here, but as far as I know, Fergie did disappear."

"Fergie?" Su Ze frowned.

"Oh, Fergie Nelson, he was a warm-hearted young man, very kind to the neighbors nearby, and that little girl named Karen Page, they were all good people, all good people. They didn't deserve to end up like this."

The old woman seemed to be thinking of something sad. The expression in her eyes became a little lonely, and she kept mumbling something in a low voice, but her voice was too soft and Su Ze could hardly hear it clearly.

However, at this time, Su Ze also found the images corresponding to the two names mentioned by the other party in his mind. Foggy Nelson was Daredevil Matt's college classmate and partner. The two opened this law firm together, and Karen Page was their salesperson.

The three people met by chance, and after having a common goal, they jointly set up this small law firm, speaking for the poor in Hell's Kitchen and resisting the oppression of capitalists and gang forces.

But compared to these two, Su Ze wanted to know the whereabouts of the other one of the three.

"Do you know where lawyer Matt Murdock is now?" Without too much nonsense, Su Ze directly asked the question he wanted to know most at the moment.

"Matt." The old woman opened her mouth, and then quickly remembered one of the owners of the law firm. In fact, a blind lawyer would leave a deep impression wherever he went.

After thinking for a moment, the old woman shook her head slightly. "I'm sorry, young man, I'm not sure where Matt is. Someone has done a missing persons census before, and I don't know if Matt is on that list."

"Is that so?" Su Ze fell into deep thought.

At this point, the old woman opposite sighed sadly.

"To be honest, I really hope he is still alive in this world, but you know, Matt's eyesight is not very clear. If he were alive, I really can't imagine what he would be going through now."

As a blind man, it is indeed difficult to live in such a chaotic situation, especially since his two friends are still on Shuomie's list, leaving him alone living in this world that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

No one could accept this kind of situation.

But just as the old woman said, this man is Matt, Matt Murdock, the legendary devil of Hell's Kitchen, who once gave the entire city's evil alliance a headache.

Su Ze believed that even after such a serious incident, Daredevil would not have any accidents.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Hell's Kitchen.

In the dark and smelly underground river pipe, Matt collapsed on the stone steps with wounds all over his body.

Beside him, several huge rats made squeaking sounds and kept trying to get closer to the seriously injured human following the smell of blood.

Matt coughed a few times and raised his hands to support his body to stand up, but he tried several times and failed because of muscle soreness. However, his actions frightened the mice and they dared not approach.

With a series of short squeaking sounds, the mice circled around Matt's body, as if they were waiting for the man to lose consciousness so that they could have a good meal. Matt seemed to have just experienced an inhuman torture. The severe pain in his body and the unclear mind made him suffer both physically and mentally.

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from a distance.

It was the sound of leather shoes stepping on wet ground, which was particularly obvious in this relatively quiet environment. Matt could even hear the muddy feeling of water splashing in the mud when the other person's shoes stepped on it.

Someone was coming. Although he was far away from where he was, judging from the sound of his footsteps, he was moving straight towards him in this maze-like underground sewer.

Is that those guys?

Matt gritted his teeth.

He didn't know the other party's identity or purpose, but he was very clear that he could not be caught by them no matter what.

This message must be spread.

His shaking fingers trembled slightly, and this time, relying on his strong willpower, Matt finally managed to stand up tremblingly.

He had to let the Avengers know what happened here, and let the whole world know about those guys' conspiracy. For this reason, he couldn't fall here no matter what.

After taking a deep breath, Matt's brain finally became much clearer.

But at this time, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. If Matt could see, he would be able to detect that at the corner behind him, a faint light from nowhere cast the shadow of a humanoid creature on the wall at the corner.

And with the sound of light footsteps and flowing water, the shadow became larger and more blurred.

That thing is getting closer
Matt clenched his fists and leaned his back against the wall to keep himself standing firmly. He didn't want that thing to see a dying Daredevil lying on the ground when it came in front of him.

The nerves at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Matt was ready to fight back. He knew that he was almost exhausted, but he absolutely did not want to die in this gutter in obscurity.

Just as he was gathering the last of his strength to attack the enemy—

"Don't get excited, I'm not your enemy."

A magnetic, emotionless female voice suddenly came into Matt's ears.

Matt didn't answer, but his fists stopped.

Maintaining his original posture, Matt tilted his head slightly and used the sound to judge the other person's heartbeat and distance.

"Finally I found you, the devil of Hell's Kitchen. Let me introduce myself. I'm Claire, from S.H.I.E.L.D."

The strange woman stopped about ten meters away. She looked at Daredevil, whose half body was hidden in the darkness, and tried her best to stay calm.

"I know I came at a bad time, but I don't know who to trust anymore."

Matt still had no intention of responding. He just panted softly, motioning for the other party to continue.

After a pause, the woman spoke again.

"I suspect that my boss is a fake person."
