American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 112 Questioning Azu, Understanding Azu, Becoming Azu

Under Daredevil's heightened senses, the female agent remained completely unaware. Knowing he could not rely on others, Daredevil felt the cold, numb sensation gradually spreading from his hands to his shoulders, threatening to engulf his internal organs if left unchecked.

Instinct tells Daredevil that something terrible will happen once the cold seeps into his heart.

Driven by the fear of death, Daredevil gritted his teeth, pulled a dagger from his waist with his left hand, and shakily slashed at his right elbow on the edge of the toilet.

"Ahhhh!!!" With a miserable scream, the knife pierced the arm, but failed to cut it off.

Firstly, Daredevil isn't left-handed, so his left hand isn't as strong as his right. Secondly, Daredevil ultimately couldn't bring himself to be ruthless, so he didn't exert enough force.

"Please, please let me go~ I'll apply to withdraw from the operation and won't be your enemy, sob sob sob~ please." Daredevil pleaded tearfully, leaning over the toilet.

"Hehehe~~" The only response Daredevil came from the sewers: the clown's laughter and the rapidly spreading chill.

"Please let me go~ Waaah~" Daredevil continued to plead, but it was no use.

In the face of death, Daredevil painfully pulls the knife stuck between his bones.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

After a scream, the pale-faced Daredevil once again pointed the knife at his wrist and then slashed it hard again!

Perhaps due to the intense pain and cold, Daredevil's strike went astray, failing to penetrate the previous wound and instead creating another opening beside it. Because of his greater determination this time, the wound was deeper, but he still failed to sever the arm.

"Oh no! F**k!!" Enduring the pain, he pulled out the knife, blood flowing all over the ground. This time, Daredevil was in so much pain that he gasped for breath.

Forcing himself to calm down, Daredevil aimed at the wound and then slashed down heavily. This time, Daredevil didn't miss; instead, he chopped off his right hand.

The instant his right hand slashed down, Daredevil clutched his wound and fell backward, trying to get as far away from the toilet as possible, while simultaneously attempting to leave the stall and seek help outside.

With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s medical technology, as long as the severed arm is relatively intact and not too badly damaged, it can be reattached.

However, no matter how Daredevil tried, he couldn't break down the door to the cubicle, not even with a knife. The door, which was usually so fragile, was now as solid as an impenetrable wall.

What made Daredevil even more desperate was that his severed right hand, in Daredevil's despairing gaze, transformed from a broken arm into a black, ugly spider-like monster that lunged at Daredevil.

"Shhhh!!!" Daredevil yelled, kicking the oncoming monster away and slamming it against the wall. Then Daredevil frantically stabbed the spider-like monster with his knife.

The spider monster was incredibly resilient. Even after being stabbed several times by Daredevil, it continued to attack him until Daredevil finally tore it to pieces, at which point the spider monster finally died.

"Hoo~" Daredevil finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the spider monster die completely, collapsing against the stall door. The next second, Daredevil saw a clown with twisted joints all over his body, his head twisted as if it had been turned 180 degrees, staring at Daredevil as he slowly crawled out of the toilet with a smile on his face.

Although it was the first time he had seen it, Daredevil was absolutely certain that this was the Pennywise that Xiao Xian had mentioned.

"Oh~f**k! f**k! f**k!"

Daredevil pounded on the door frantically, nearly scared out of his wits as the Joker crawled out of the toilet. He cursed as he continued to pound on the door.

At this moment, Daredevil was filled with regret. If he had known it would turn out this way, even at the risk of defaulting on Kingpin's high-interest loan, Daredevil would not have taken this bizarre mission.

Daredevil previously thought that no matter how scary the supernatural was, it couldn't be scarier than Kingpin. After all, the supernatural wouldn't ask Daredevil, who was in debt, to fight in underground boxing matches and drink with others, nor would it make Daredevil wake up with a sore butt the next day after drinking with others.

But now Daredevil would rather drink with Kingpin and his guests than encounter this thing.

Finally, as the Joker crawled out and adjusted his joints, Daredevil smashed through the door that was blocking his way and scrambled out of the toilet, shouting as he ran.

"Help! Something strange! Pennywise! Pennywise! It's coming!"

"What are you shouting for? Pennywise has appeared? Where is he?"

Xiao Xian, his clothes slightly disheveled, walked out of the room and looked at Daredevil, who was yelling. Inside the room, two beautiful female agents, Sharon Carter and Maria Hill, were also slightly disheveled, their faces flushed, and they were constantly fixing their messy hair with their hands, looking at Daredevil with very resentful eyes.

"Right behind me." Daredevil glanced back at the empty corridor and paused, wondering why Pennywise hadn't chased after him.

"It should still be in the toilet. I found it there; it crawled out of the sewer. Look at my hand, that's what Pennywise did!" Daredevil showed his right hand to Xiao Xian, "Go get rid of it!"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Xiao Xian glared at Daredevil with dissatisfaction and said coldly. Now that Pennywise was definitely gone, it didn't really matter whether he went or not.

The key question is, how dare Daredevil, a defeated opponent, speak to me like that?

"I'm sorry." Looking into Xiao Xian's eyes, Daredevil was about to show his hands in a wronged manner and question Xiao Xian's sense of responsibility as the captain, but under Xiao Xian's gaze, he didn't dare to refute him and instead humbly lowered his head to apologize.

If he hadn't died at Pennywise's hands, but instead escaped only to be taken away by Xiao Xian's feverish gaze, that would have been too tragic. Daredevil thought to himself as he looked at Xiao Xian's slightly reddened eyes, "If only Xiao Xian and that monster Pennywise could have died together."

"Take me to see." Seeing that Daredevil had readily admitted defeat, Xiao Xian didn't dwell on it any longer and instead said to Daredevil.

To be honest, no wonder Ah Zu was so arrogant, Xiao Xian thought to himself as he looked at Daredevil, who didn't even dare to talk back.

The deterrent and control that violence brings is far more direct than that of money, power, or charisma.

Xiao Xian is currently just a junior superhero, and his abilities are far inferior to Superman's. But the fact that Daredevil, a superhuman from an opposing force, has already achieved this level of power against him is simply intoxicating.

Xiao Xian couldn't even imagine how awesome it would be if he became a superman.

At that time, let alone Daredevil, even if it were President America, if she stood in front of him and spoke in a slightly impolite tone, Xiao Xian would make her kneel down and sing "Conquer," and it would have to be the Chinese version, with perfect pronunciation.

"I'm a little scared. I'll take you there right away." Under Xiao Xian's threatening gaze, Daredevil withdrew his refusal and could only obediently lead the way. When they reached the entrance to the restroom, at the boundary between the men's and women's restrooms, Daredevil said somewhat awkwardly...

"I heard strange noises coming from the women's restroom, so I thought I'd go in and check it out. I was mainly worried that some women had been attacked by Pennywise."
