Chapter 302 Cooperation

"So, the purpose of Captain America's appearance in Hell's Kitchen is not just to chat with a few of us, right?"

After a brief exchange, Jessica glanced at Steve, who looked a little heavy in front of her, and then asked Steve about the purpose of appearing in Hell's Kitchen.

Although Luke Cage's previous words were ridiculing, they also somewhat represented the inner thoughts of the defenders.

Appearing in Hell's Kitchen as a member of the Avengers carries an unusual meaning.

In particular, considering the characteristics of the Avengers, Steve's appearance does not seem like something worth making people happy about.

"In fact, I did need your defenders' assistance for one thing when I came here."

Although Jessica's question was not polite, it fit Steve's thoughts exactly.

After all, Peggy's safety was involved, and no matter how calm Steve tried to hide on the surface, he still couldn't hide his inner anxiety in his words and deeds.

Steve's eyes swept over the members of the Defenders in front of him, and paused on Ah Xing's body for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "Vampire, according to SHIELD's intelligence, there is a vampire who has appeared in Hell's Kitchen and has been with him. The Defenders fought, so I'd like to know the specifics of previous battles and..."

Having said this, Steve's eyes paused for a moment on the 'Jin Bin' that was shattered under Ah Xing's "Tathagata Palm" on the ground: "If you are willing to tell me the relevant information about this robot."

Although Steve's goal before coming was vampire intelligence related to Dio, now that he has seen the existence of the 'pacifist-Kingpin', as a member of the Avengers, he naturally cannot turn a blind eye.

Hearing Steve reveal his purpose, the members of the Defenders looked at each other subconsciously, and then Luke Cage spoke, with an obviously helpless smile on his face and said: "It seems, Captain, come on It's the right time, we have been working hard to fight vampires recently..."

"Can you tell me where the vampire is?"

Luke Cage's reply undoubtedly cheered up Steve's mood.

After hearing the content of the other party's words, he quickly asked.

"In fact, that's what you see in front of you."

In this regard, Luke Cage didn't say much, but pointed directly at the broken parts on the ground and replied.

"You mean the robot and the vampire?"

Following the direction pointed by Luke Cage, Steve looked down at the robot on the ground again, with a look of obvious astonishment on his face.

Obviously, Captain America did not expect that the vampire he was looking for would be related to the robot in front of him.

…

"How are things going?"

Hell's Kitchen, Kingpin's Hideout.

Dio always had a devilish smile on his face. He looked at Jin Bin's transformed and even larger body, raised his slender and golden eyebrows, and asked aloud.

"I have followed the clues you gave me and asked all the underground forces in Hell's Kitchen to launch a search."

Facing Dior's inquiry, Jin Bin's face glowed with a cold tone, and he answered in a cold voice without expression: "It's just that the clues about the target were too rudimentary after all, so the whole search process was not as smooth as imagined. If , Master Dio, if you can give more clues, maybe the progress of the entire search will be faster."

"Unfortunately, the clues Jiuyou gave me are only this few."

[From the legend of Peggy Carter...]

[The legend from Jin Bin...]

Hearing Dio mention Jiuyou's name, Jin Bin's mechanical eyes flashed slightly.

Although the original body was destroyed in the previous battle with the defenders, Jin Bin's brain survived, and under the transformation of Dr. Chen, it was perfectly transplanted into the body of the pacifist and regained a new life. Today's Kingpin, although he has lost his vampire power,

But feeling the power of the 'pacifist' controlled by his brain, he could feel that his power was increasing instead of decreasing. His power now was much stronger than when he was a vampire in the past. .

At the same time, after being transformed into a robot, the expression on Kingpin's face became even colder, making it impossible to see his inner emotions.

However, Li Ran was helped by the system.

You can still clearly know what's going on in Kingpin's heart, no, now he only has one head left, and the reaction in his head.

Through the legend displayed on the system data panel, Li Ran easily knew that Jin Bing and Peggy behind him were not as calm as they seemed on the surface.

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Dio's eyes swept over Peggy's rejuvenated face behind him, and once again fixed on Jin Bin in front of him, grinning and said: "Don't pay too much attention, Jin Bin. As far as I know, Penglai has sent Someone comes to New York to look for the so-called reincarnation. Compared to us, Penglai is more anxious and hopes to find the other person, so we only need to keep an eye on the person in Penglai to find the location of the reincarnation."

"I understand, Master Dio."

After hearing Dio's words, Jinpin nodded in reply without hesitation.

"I will arrange to keep an eye on Ah Xing."

Looking at the loyal Kingpin in front of him, Dio turned his eyes in disbelief and suddenly asked casually: "Speaking of which, Kingpin, do you hate me?"

[The legend from Jin Bin...]

Facing Dio's sudden inquiry, Jin Bin's brain fluctuated.

"How is it possible, Lord Dio? Without you, I would have died in the previous battle with the defenders."

On the surface, Kingpin changed his tone and said as if he was grateful.

"Yeah?"

Listening to Jin Bin's words of gratitude, he took another look at the legend displayed on the data panel.

If the system hadn't clearly displayed the legendary data, Li Ran might have almost been deceived by his opponent Jin Bing's superb acting skills.

In the antique store, Li Ran curled his lips as he looked at the legend on the data panel.

In front of Jin Bin, Dio still kept the smile on his face and looked at him meaningfully: "In fact, I don't care whether you are grateful or resentful to me. For me, whether you are grateful or resentful, after all, it is just When a person faces a being more powerful than himself, the excuses he comes up with to comfort his own incompetence. If you still retain these emotions in your heart, it only means that you, Jin Bin, are still just an ordinary person, a mortal. I, Dior, don’t have these boring thoughts. I only have the simplest belief in my mind, and that is: to win and then dominate everything!”

[From the legend of Peggy Carter...]

[The legend from Jin Bin...]

I have to say that Dio's series of unscrupulous speeches sounded quite bluffing.

Even Kingpin and Peggy were shocked by the thoughts revealed in his words.

However, the two people here were not ordinary people after all, so after a brief trance, Peggy quickly came back to her senses and looked at the strange man in front of her, the vigilance in her eyes becoming more solemn.

The Dio in front of him was more powerful than the soldier before, and of course more dangerous.

…

[From the legend of Steve Rogers...]

"Joseph Joestar?"

In front of the defenders, Steve tried hard to digest the information revealed by everyone, and couldn't help mumbling.

"correct."

Turning his head, with the help of his super senses, even if he couldn't see, Matt still accurately positioned Steve. Nodding his head gently, Matt continued to talk about the Defenders and vampires. The encounter process between them, and Joseph Joestar, a vampire hunter who appeared briefly but left an indelible impression on everyone: "...It was with the help and teaching of Mr. Joseph Joestar Underneath, I learned the power of ripples, and finally used the power of ripples to kill Kingpin who was transformed into a vampire by Stone Ghost Face."

When talking about killing Kingpin, Matt's tone paused, and the expression on his face turned a bit bitter: "To be precise, I think he killed him."

Steve: "You think so?"

"The power of the ripples did destroy Jin Bin's body, but obviously the destruction was not complete. None of us expected that under this situation, Jin Bin's head was still not destroyed, and was destroyed by Joseph Joe. It was saved by Dio, the vampire king in Mr. Star's mouth. Later, Dio transformed it into a kind of robot called 'Pacifist' and mass-produced it. This is how we just fought the scene with the Pacifist. .”

Joseph Joestar, Ripple, Kingpin, Pacifist…

What happened in Hell's Kitchen was much more complicated than he originally expected, especially the appearance of vampire hunters, as well as the connection between Ripple and the 'Pacifist Kingpin', which made Steve originally just pursue Dior. The idea of ​​​​rescuing Peggy has produced obvious changes.

The existence of the pacifists, and Danny's sacrifice.

Steve couldn't turn a blind eye to this.

Of course, the most important thing is that, according to what Matt mentioned, whether it is Kingpin becoming a vampire or today's pacifist robot, there is the shadow of Dio.

Therefore, whether it is for Hell's Kitchen or for himself, Steve feels that he must join the battle of the Defenders.

Moreover, Steve had a hunch in his heart that Kingpin should have the clues he wanted, whether it was Dio or Peggy.

The Defenders and others certainly welcomed Steve's expressed desire to fight with them against the Kingpin.

In any case, as a member of the Avengers, Steve's combat effectiveness is quite guaranteed.

However, although the addition of Captain America is gratifying, Jessica's expression is not too optimistic when thinking of the situation faced by the defenders in front of her.

"The famous Captain America is willing to fight side by side with us against Kingpin. Of course I welcome it with both hands, but the problem we are facing is not just a battle problem, but Kingpin as the target, who seems to be hiding intentionally. You should be aware of your own traces. If Kingpin hides, with his power in Hell’s Kitchen, it will not be easy for us to find each other."

Jessica's words quickly awakened Luke Cage and Matt who were excited about Steve's joining.

Indeed, as Jessica said, the Kingpin has regained control of most of Hell's Kitchen's dark powers.

If the other party wants to hide, there is no way for them to do it alone.

Coupled with the cover of mass-produced pacifists who are not much different from Jin in appearance, it will not be easy for the defenders to find traces of Jin Bin, but will become more difficult.

"About this," Steve said, looking at the frowning defenders and others in front of him, attracting everyone's attention: "I should have a way to solve it."

"It just so happens that I know someone who is very good at searching."

…

"So, this is why you came to me, Captain?"

SHIELD, after listening to Steve's description, Natasha raised her slender eyebrows and looked at him and said.

"I thought you could accomplish everything by yourself. For example, you rushed into Nick Fury's office and got out the vampire information on your own, and then rushed to Hell's Kitchen single-handedly. If you hadn't Kingpin thing, maybe now you’re fighting in Hell’s Kitchen with the Defenders.”

From Natasha's words, it was not difficult for Steve to hear the other party's dissatisfaction.

"But, you also hid things about vampires from me before. Don't tell me, you don't know the existence of vampires."

"I really don't know about that time on the ship."

"What about the others?"

Looking at Steve, Natasha replied: "I admit that I did hide this information from you, but this is all for your own good, captain, I have read your information and know Dior Something about Peggy.”

"We're a team, Natasha."

Blinking his eyes and looking at Natasha in front of him, Steve said in a sincere tone: "The meaning of a team is to trust each other, not to hide from each other. If everyone does this, then the meaning of the Avengers' existence will be What is it, maybe there are differences between us in this way, but I hope that this team at least does not need to hide from each other and can be honest."

Although Steve has a good idea about the Avengers, the veteran has obviously forgotten that today is not seventy years ago, and the Avengers are not the team he led in the past.

This is a special group with aliens, billionaires, agents, and unexpected products of experiments.

But it can't be maintained just by so-called trust.
