The worried middle-aged man obviously didn't notice the shadow quietly appearing behind him.

After walking through the dirty and dangerous lanes of Hell's Kitchen, the man came to a hidden factory.

The man looked up at the factory, his wife lying on the hospital bed at home flashed through his mind, and then he gritted his teeth and walked in.

"You came."

The guard at the factory gate noticed the middle-aged man's figure and immediately stepped forward and said.

"Um."

The man nodded, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at the pistol hanging on the guard's shoulder. It was obvious that this factory was not as simple as it seemed.

"Then hurry up, Mrs. Gao is already waiting for you up there."

The guard noticed the man's gaze, but didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he urged him.

here it is?

Hidden in the shadow of the corner, Li Ran silently watched the factory that appeared in front of him and the two people talking at the entrance.

The firearms on the guards reminded Li Ran that the situation was more dangerous than he imagined.

Although the use of firearms is common in the United States, the fact that an ordinary factory guard needs to use firearms during patrol is itself a doubtful point.

Or perhaps, this is no ordinary factory in the first place.

After confirming that the factory in front of him was unusual, Li Ran had no intention of staying any longer or breaking into it.

After all, judging from the conversation between the middle-aged man and the guard, it was obvious that the other party already knew about the situation in the factory, but still insisted on going inside.

Since the parties involved have already made a decision, why should he meddle in it anymore?

Although he lives in the world of American comics, Li Ranke has never had the idea of ​​​​turning into a superhero to save the world. On the contrary, living as he pleases is his goal.

Although, it is currently difficult to realize his idea in the high-risk world of American comics.

But at least, Li Ran already has an opportunity that can help him realize this idea.

Turn around and walk back along the path you came from.

However, just when Li Ran was about to leave, a burst of rapid footsteps came over.

Immediately afterwards, a dark red figure jumped over his head.

Daredevil?!

Although the figure moved extremely fast, Li Ran still recognized the other person's identity.

Surprisingly, it is the superhero who has become famous in Hell's Kitchen in recent times, Daredevil.

Of course, in fact, Li Ran knew more, such as Daredevil's other identity during the day, a talented blind lawyer named Matt Murdock.

Daredevil's sudden appearance was somewhat beyond Li Ran's expectation.

Stopping his original intention to leave, Li Ran looked back at the factory behind him.

His expression was a little tangled.

Leaving now can certainly minimize the risk, but you will definitely miss an opportunity to interact with Daredevil and earn legendary status.

Although there are many superheroes in New York City, there are actually not many that are suitable for Li Ran at his current level.

Daredevil is obviously a relatively safe existence among the many superheroes he has contact with. After all, Daredevil mostly fights gangsters from Hell's Kitchen, and the highest level is only at Kingpin's level.

It is far from the late stage of the American comic book world, where aliens invade and the earth is destroyed at every turn.

Therefore, after just stopping and hesitating for a moment, Li Ran quickly made a decision.

Of course, although the decision had been made, Li Ran would not just rush into the factory so stupidly.

Before going in, he decided to open a treasure chest first to calm down his panic.

…

"Mrs. Gao, people are already here."

In the factory, the man was led by security guards to the second floor and met the legendary Madam Gao.

Although Mrs. Gao was leaning on a cane and had a kind expression on her face, she looked like an ordinary old lady that could be seen everywhere in the man's hometown.

But after seeing the conditions of the workers on the first floor, the man didn't feel relaxed at all.

"Here you go, thank you for your hard work."

After waving away the guard who came up with the man, Mrs. Gao looked at the man in front of her with a smile on her face.

He said in a kind tone: "Since you have decided to work here, you should have thought clearly about the consequences. The work here is not as simple as outside. You can join and quit as soon as you want to join."

Thinking of what he had seen on the first floor of the factory, the man nodded with a heavy expression: "Mrs. Gao, my wife is sick and I need money very much."

"I know I know."

Mrs. Gao nodded, but said very cruel words with a kind expression: "Many of the workers who come to me are in this situation. I will never be stingy in this regard, as long as you can treat yourself like them."

He was blinded, and then he helped me work in the factory. I will definitely give your wife the money for her medical treatment."

Mrs. Gao's words made the man fall silent.

Even though he had always thought that he had made up his mind, when this moment really came, he still couldn't help but waver. After all, these are his own eyes. If possible, who can hope to become a person who can't see anything?

Where is the blind man?

Looking at the struggling man, Mrs. Gao did not say anything to urge him. She just looked at him quietly, with her kind expression always on her face.

"Mrs. Gao, will you really give me money to help my wife treat her illness?"

"absolute."

"I promised, I will work in the factory."

In the end, the man made his decision.

"well."

Seeing this, Mrs. Gao nodded with a smile, walked slowly to the drawer in the room, took out a small black bottle, stretched out her hand and handed it to the man: "Drink the poison in the bottle, and your eyesight will be reduced in three days."

It becomes increasingly blurry inside, until eventually you become completely blind like the workers working below.”

Opposite me, the man stretched out his hands tremblingly, took the bottle handed over by Mrs. Gao, and held it tightly in his palm.

He bit his lower lip hard, raised his hand to open the bottle and was about to drink it.

"Wait a moment."

However, Mrs. Gao suddenly turned her head to the side and reached out to stop the man's movement.

"The poison in the bottle will wait for a while before you drink it. It looks like there is an unwelcome guest in the factory."

With that said, Mrs. Gao turned around and walked out on crutches.

The courage I finally mustered up disappeared because of Mrs. Gao's sudden interruption.

The man looked down at the poison in his hand, his expression unclear whether he should be happy or worried.

However, neither the happiness nor the worry lasted too long, and were quickly broken by Mrs. Gao's sharp voice outside.
