Chapter 196 Fanatic!
The former site of the Hand.
After the core members of the Hand and the five fingers were completely destroyed, the entire organization was handed over to Jessica by Hasward to take care of it and used it as a cover for the invisible empire.
As for the real invisible empire, it is in the shadow of the lowest level of the Hand.
Under the moonlight, Matt looked at the door of the union and sighed inwardly.
Since the last time Jessica slaughtered ninjas, Matt felt that he couldn't get along with Jessica, so he would never come here on his own initiative unless he was summoned by Hasward.
But today is different...
Matt touched the welt on his chest, and he could still vaguely feel the burning pain, and the previous battle couldn't help but come to his mind.
The mysterious man with dark black eyes and cracked roads around his eyes, with all kinds of strange attack methods, almost suppressed him to the point of being out of breath.
If it wasn't for the Quincy Extinguisher's ability to walk in the air, I'm afraid that he would have died in that dark alley now, and finally turned into one!
Thinking of this, Matt's face couldn't help but feel sad, his fists clenched, and he said bitterly: "If I had awakened the power of Quincy... I wouldn't have let them go at that time!"
That day, Jessica pulled the spirit bow with both arms and shot and killed nearly a hundred ninjas in one fell swoop, which made Matt quite envious.
But the hateful thing is...
No matter how he trained during this time, he did not inspire that power!
In addition to being able to control a small number of spiritual sons, it is impossible to condense a spiritual bow as strong as Jessica, let alone let him shoot arrows like a rainstorm.
It is precisely because he has not awakened the spirit bow and can only control a part of the weak spirit son, that is why he was pressed and rubbed on the ground by the mysterious man.
Although he escaped by luck in the end, he couldn't stop them from taking the boy!
Linked to the information revealed by another person before, they captured the little boy in order to sacrifice him to the god of darkness, which instantly inspired the heroic soul in Matt's body!
After putting all the known information together, Matt can basically tell.
This evil organization called 'The Zealots' has great plans, and judging from the skillful techniques and tone of those people, the children who were captured by them are not the only one today!
so......
To save the kidnapped children,
Even if he didn't want to see Jessica again, Matt could only bite the bullet and step into the building of the Hand.
The moment Matt stepped into the door with his left foot, the dark shadow cast by the moonlight instantly became like a living thing, wriggling and swallowing his entire being!
Matt didn't resist, letting the shadow drag him to the ground.
after a few seconds.
When Matt opened his eyes again, he found that he had come to the bottom floor. In front of him was a long bronze table ten meters long and four meters wide, with several seats on each side.
And Jessica was sitting on the right seat at the end of this long bronze table, and gave him a cold side glance: "What's the matter with you coming to me?"
Attitude is still as bad as ever...
Matt smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that he would not be hypocritical in the first place.
Just because he couldn't bear to see Jessica slaughter those ninjas, he dissuaded him with a sleazy opening, and as a result, Jessica mistakenly thought that he was unfaithful to Hasward, and now he is being targeted everywhere.
"I have something to ask for your help."
Matt shook his head, cleared out the messy thoughts, straightened his back and stared at Jessica and said.
Jessica narrowed her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she said, "What's the matter?"
"It's about a group called 'The Zealots.'"
Matt recounted what he had seen.
After listening to Matt's description, a sneer appeared on Jessica's face, and sneered: "Sorry, forgive me for refusing."
really......
Matt's face sank. Before he came, he had vaguely guessed that he was very likely to be rejected by Jessica.
"The kidnappings are all a group of children. They are going to sacrifice to the god of darkness. Don't you have any compassion and have the heart to watch those children die?" Matt was still a little unwilling, and tried to convince Jessie. card help.
"You seem to have misunderstood me a little, Matt Murdoch."
Jessica said coldly: "The order given to me by Lord Haswald is to hide the existence of the invisible empire and secretly accumulate the power of the Quincy, but it didn't let us meddle in our own business!
"Especially at war with such a mysterious organization, what if the existence of the invisible empire is exposed?"
"You should have seen the Battle of New York. If the Soul Soul Realm detects our existence, are you planning to let Lord Husward go to war with the Soul Soul Realm for this trivial matter?"
Jessica's eyes were cold, and she sent out a series of questions, which instantly left Matt speechless.
If they're going to take care of this, it means going to war with a mysterious evil organization!
At that time, they will be traced to the invisible empire by the Soul Society along the clues. Not only will they have to face the pursuit of death from the god of death, but they may even involve Lord Hasward!
In Jessica's mind, Hasward's priority is the highest, followed by the growth and development of the organization, and finally his own "selfishness".
Jessica was slightly moved by what Matt said.
But when she thought that doing so might expose Hasward and lead to the pursuit of the Soul Society, Jessica instantly extinguished that thought.
"I... want to see Lord Hasward!"
Matt was silent for a while, then stared at Jessica sharply, and said word by word, "It's not up to you to decide whether to save it or not, let the adults decide!"
The only person who can change Jessica's mind is Lord Hasward!
In other words...
He wants to save the kids kidnapped by the Zealots, and only with Hasward's permission can Jessica help!
But in this way, it will undoubtedly deepen Jessica's prejudice against him.
But Matt couldn't care anymore. He would rather be punished after the fact than be a cold-blooded person who could not be saved!
"Matt Murdoch!!!"
Mixed with furious voices, it exploded in Matt's ear like a thunderbolt!
boom!
Before Matt could react, Jessica suddenly disappeared from the seat.
The next moment, his neck was pinched by a slender palm, and the huge force made him unable to breathe!
"You...want to die?"
Jessica's eyes were red, and she said with murderous intent: "I should have told you that anything that would endanger Lord Husswald will be eliminated as soon as possible, including you!"
"Cough...cough...cough..."
Matt's face turned blue and purple, and his eyes were full of horror!
He didn't expect this woman to be so cruel, and she didn't even give him a chance to explain!
"Jessica, let him go."
A gentle voice came from behind, making Jessica slightly stunned.
Matt, whose consciousness was blurred due to extreme hypoxia, flashed a trace of ecstasy in his eyes after hearing this voice, because he knew that he was saved!
really.
Under the command of the voice, Jessica let go of Matt without hesitation, then turned and knelt down on one knee, bowing her head and said, "Lord Hussward... welcome home."
