The Exorcist Detective

Hell's Kitchen, in a rental house, Li Kang took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, ate a peanut butter sandwich, and turned on the TV.

The so-called Hell's Kitchen is located in New York City from No. 30 59th to [-]th Street, and from Eighth Lane to the Houston River. Since the [-]th century, this has been a gathering place for the low-income class of New York City. At the same time, It is also a slum area with extremely poor security.

On the TV screen, the beautiful morning news anchor was playing a local news.

"Early this morning, an unusual case occurred in a warehouse near the Hudson River. It is reported that multiple Russian gang members were attacked and six boxes of semi-automatic weapons, including AK47, were left at the scene. The gang Members identified a vigilante who called himself Daredevil as carrying out the attack, but gang members denied that they had anything to do with the arms left at the scene..."

On the [-]th of this month, there were rumors that this group of Russian gangsters robbed a truck belonging to the Osborne Group. The driver of the truck was shot thirteen times and died on the spot. The three security personnel escorting the truck were shot indiscriminately. , the death was quite tragic, and the news caused a sensation at the time.

"Daredevil? This name is really familiar. If I remember correctly, he should be a superhero. Unfortunately, the memory of his past life is too long and the memory is a bit blurry. In my impression, this Daredevil should be a blind lawyer." Li Kang shouted He took a sip of beer and searched through the memories of his previous life.

The successive appearance of these superheroes shows that the world is about to be in chaos. In the near future, aliens will land in New York, and this place will become a cruel battlefield. Before that, it is best to make more preparations .

But then again, his head hurt so much that when he stretched out his hand to touch it, it hurt even more. Li Kang looked for a mirror and took a look. It turned out that there was a purple bruise on his left temple. Based on many years of experience, he could tell He was hit with a bottle.

"Damn, what the hell is going on?" Li Kang found some medicinal wine and wiped the wound, and gradually recalled what happened.

Just last night, Li Kang hooked up with a hot girl in a nearby bar. At that time, he invited the hot girl to drink a few drinks and did a very hot and sultry dance. Li Kang was planning to leave his phone number so that he could When they deepened their communication, the hot girl’s real boyfriend showed up with a few strong men.

After that, the situation took a turn for the worse. In the chaos, it seemed that the hot girl’s boyfriend smashed a beer bottle on Li Kang’s head. He was already very drunk, but after receiving such a heavy blow, he suddenly lost consciousness. , when he woke up, the person had been thrown into the garbage dump in the back alley.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Hell Detective, no matter which version he is, there is one thing in common, that is, he is handsome. Although Li Kang in the mirror looks a little embarrassed, but combined with his ruthlessness from the inside out, it is undeniable , he is an attractive man.

"It's really unlucky. I have an appointment with a client today. I hope this scar will not affect the business." After drinking the remaining beer in the bottle, Li Kang took a cigarette, got up and went downstairs. Open the door and walk to the detective station not far away.

It has been 20 years since he traveled to this world. In his previous life, Li Kang was an ordinary person on the origin earth. The origin earth is an ordinary world. There is no magic here, let alone super powers. All those superheroes only exist on the movie screen. On screen, or in a comic book.

The memory of the previous life has been a long time ago, but it is the memory of time travel, which is especially profound. In the multiverse, there are countless versions of Li Kang, including black people, white people, Chinese people, and even Indians. These versions Most of them have the same name, John Constantine, while the Chinese version of him is called Li Kang.

That time travel allowed Li Kang to awaken his talent for magic. More importantly, because he was born on the origin earth, he has many more attributes than ordinary people. His mental power is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even in his infancy, his mental power was higher than those of ordinary people. A mage who has practiced for many years is much stronger.

Magic is all kinds of energy that spread out in the universe. Some are from this universe, and some are from other dimensions. Magicians rely on spells to control these energies. Magic is similar to a program. The source code can change reality. A powerful magician, Similar to the crazy Scarlet Witch, she can even modify reality and do crazy things like erasing most mutants.

Therefore, the magic world attaches great importance to inheritance. Only those with the strongest spiritual power are worthy of using the most powerful magic.

Moreover, Li Kang's origin attribute makes the price he pays when casting spells much more subtle than others.

Anyone who is familiar with the Marvel world knows that there is a famous saying here: Rich people rely on technology, and hanging silk depends on mutation.

In this world, there are people like Iron Man who were born as arms giants and heirs of Stark Industries, there are also people like Captain America who relied on super serum to become extremely powerful super soldiers, and there are people like Spider-Man who were just mutated. A bite from a spider gives you superpowers.

Not to mention the X-Men who have mutated their genes due to evolution and become superpowers.

Li Kang did not have that kind of luck. In this life, his father was just an ordinary dock worker, and his mother opened a laundry in the Chinese district. Although the family was not rich, they lived a happy life.

But the good times did not last long. When Li Kang was 14 years old, a home invasion and robbery took place. In order to protect little Li Kang, his father and mother were shot several times and both died.

Hell's Kitchen is a place like this, where murders and robberies happen every day, because

Chinese Americans live a hard-working and frugal life and are one of the few races in the United States that can save savings. Therefore, many lawless criminals regard Chinese Americans as targets for robbery, especially in Hell's Kitchen. No one cares about how many Chinese Americans die. In the end, no one cares about this case. Asked.

Instead, those government officials imprisoned Li Kang in a juvenile shelter, hoping to find a family to adopt him.

Li Kang, who was only 14 years old at the time, escaped from the asylum alone and spent all his savings. With the memory of his previous life, he went to the Himalayas alone and actually found the legendary Sanctuary in the Doctor Strange movie. .

In the Holy of Holies, after a year of training, Li Kang stood out and became the most potential student. He even had the possibility of entering the Presbyterian Church. Even the Supreme Master Gu Yi praised him. Although he was only 15 years old, he had great potential. Beyond the wisdom of adults.

But Li Kang's talent aroused the jealousy of others, and that person was his roommate Casillas. Casillas shamelessly slandered him, saying that he planned to steal the private collection of Master Gu Yi, the Supreme Mage Gu Master Yi personally presided over the trial, and finally the Council of Elders unanimously agreed to expel Li Kang.

Then Li Kang returned to Hell's Kitchen, used the magic he learned to avenge his parents' blood, and then lived here, using the laundry left by his parents to open a small private detective agency, in his seat Underneath, there is a pool of brown blood, which was left by his parents to protect him. This private detective agency is the legacy of his parents.

Normally, in addition to normal cases, he would occasionally take on some dirty jobs of avenging others, and of course the rewards were very generous.

Over the years, with unremitting efforts, his magic skills have become increasingly advanced. Li Kang has become famous in Hell's Kitchen. Both black and white are afraid of him. This is also the effect he wants. If he wants to be in Hell's Kitchen To survive, one must feel genuine fear from evildoers who are crueler than demons.

Good people are bullied, and good people cannot survive here.

Today's Li Kang, those who are familiar with him will call him Zha Kang. This name is appropriate. Even Li Kang himself has to admit that the people of Hell's Kitchen always sum up the problems so well.

Looking back, over the years, people who have anything to do with him basically have no good ending, but this is the law of survival in Hell's Kitchen. Survival or destruction has never been a problem here in Li Kang.

Li Kang's motto in life is: Whoever doesn't let me survive, I will let him destroy.

But then again, who can stand in this Hell's Kitchen who is not a scumbag?

There have been very few commissions recently, and Li Kang was used to living a life of extravagant spending, which caused Li Kang to fall into a deep financial crisis. The rent was about to expire, and he had to find a way to get through this difficulty.

"Damn it, it's all that Daredevil, damn vigilante, ruined my business!" Li Kang cursed Daredevil in his heart. When free vigilantes showed up, no one came to the private room at all. The detective agency pays for justice.

While deep in thought, he walked into a dark alley, and suddenly a voice calling for help came from in front of him.

"Help! Please, don't hurt me." In front, a slender black girl was surrounded by three white gangsters. Two gangsters fixed the girl to the wall.

"Beauty, how can I bear to hurt you? We have always loved a beautiful woman like you very much. As long as you hand over all the money you have and let us give you an injection, you will You're free. If you don't obey, I'll scratch your pretty face." A young man with a devil tattoo on his face held a dagger and dangled it in front of the girl.

It's another ordinary day in Hell's Kitchen. The drama of Beauty and the Beast is performed almost every day in Hell's Kitchen. These gangsters are members of the nearby Scottish gang. Their stronghold is a striptease club. They rely on a kind of Mixing hallucinogens, controlling those helpless girls, and then using these girls to make money for them is a group of hopeless scum.

The addiction rate for this psychedelic drug is extremely high, and if this black girl is injected with this drug, it will be very difficult to escape their control in the future.

Li Kang had only heard people say that such a thing happened before, but he didn't expect that he would encounter it today. This area is the territory of the Scottish Gang. The Scottish Gang used to be very powerful in Hell's Kitchen, but now because of the Triads, The three forces of the Russians, the Hand and the Union formed an alliance and joined forces to squeeze the territory of the Scottish Gang.

Now, the Scottish Gang's influence in Hell's Kitchen has been drastically reduced, with only a few clubs still operating. In fact, they have been marginalized. The most profitable businesses, such as arms and hallucinogens, are no longer a part of them. , if it weren’t for his connections in the police community, he would have been squeezed out of Hell’s Kitchen long ago.

Devil Face took out a tube of hallucinogen from the bag, stuck out his tongue and licked the tip of the needle, then whispered in the girl's ear, "Beauty, as long as you have tasted the taste of this thing, keep your Piao Piao Yuxian, please ask us to give you two more, relax, you will go to heaven soon."

"Come on, come on, who's going to save me?" the girl cried, suddenly seeing Li Kang's figure, she seemed to see a life-saving straw, "Sir, please help me!"

Everyone in the Scotch Gang also discovered Li Kang. The devil face looked at Li Kang's Asian face, and he was alone again. He didn't take Li Kang seriously at all.

"Hey! Yellow-skinned monkey, you have nothing to do here, get out of here!" The devil spat with disdain.
