Chapter 491

Flicking through the newspaper in his hand, Ling Xiao couldn’t help shook the head. Things were moving a bit fast. It’s only a few days. The Union Allied Construction case is almost over. Like a newspaper headline, it clearly reads in black capital letters: “Union Allied Construction scandal.”

It didn’t take long for Matt Murdock to take over this case. The scandal about the embezzlement of funds within Union Allied Construction has been It was completely stabbed in the newspaper, and all the details and related data fell away. It is said that the New York prosecutors have begun to intervene in the investigation.

But it’s too late. Union Allied Construction’s Boss McClintock has taken sleeping pills and committed suicide. The assassin who tried to assassinate the dancing girl committed suicide by hanging himself in prison. All the funds of Union Allied Construction were transferred. Lance, who was in charge of finance, also disappeared.

The prosecutors investigated for a long time without finding any clues. In the end, the case could not be resolved.

As for Matt Murdock, Jessica Jones is in charge of the follow-up investigation, and Ling Xiao also began to focus on himself.

During the days in London, Ling Xiao was not at all idle. In his own factory, he secretly arranged a Spatial Shift Formation in the workshop where the wormhole appeared, and then placed it on the wall. The illusion and Defensive Formation are drawn.

Since the wormhole was completely closed, that place has not been of much use value. Usually, except for Ling Xiao, who will observe the changes of the space barrier there, others don’t care much, and Ling Xiao also specifically ordered the security of the factory area to ensure that the secrets would not be leaked.

That was when Ling Xiao established the third spatial shift base, and now Ling Xiao is trying to find the existence of the fourth wormhole.

After thinking for a long time, he still gave up his plan to establish a wormhole in Manhattan. That place was too sensitive. If Ling Xiao did establish a wormhole there, it would inevitably not attract the attention of Ancient One Sorcerer. He is not yet ready to deal with this Grand Sorcerer.

Abandoning the plan to build a wormhole in the high sky of Stark Tower, Ling Xiao had to find other places where there was spatial fluctuation, and after searching for a few places, he set his own eyes on 100 miles from the Manhattan coastline.

Here, the continental shelf suddenly descends to the steepest landslide and underwater cave in the world. This is the seabed Hudson great valley, which is not only full of extraordinary and peculiar lives, but also spectacular scenes. Including the dormant volcano called Seabed Mountain, which is thousands of feet above seabed.

After searching for a long time, Ling Xiao finally found a trace of spatial fluctuation in the belly of this dormant volcano.

Dormant volcanoes are different from extinct volcanoes. They have erupted in history but have been relatively static for a long time.

This type of volcanoes all have well-preserved volcanic cones and still have volcanic activity. Although there is no eruption at present, high-temperature gas is continuously ejected from some deep and unmeasurable fumaroles on the hillside , It can be seen that the volcano is currently dormant.

It is precisely because of the continuous scouring of the high temperature and water flow in these jet holes that the space barrier here has finally become extremely weak under the alternating impact of cold and heat after a long period of time, and it can occasionally be opened. Don’t know where the wormhole leads.

Entering the depths of the mountain hole, Ling Xiao immediately excavated a stone chamber with a radius of less than 100 square meters in the middle of the mountain, and then outlined a Spatial Shift Formation, plus Defensive Formation and illusion Array, a small secret base has been constructed.

The specific locations of these spatial shift bases in Ling Xiao’s hands are known only to him, and where these space barriers are weak, it is easiest to open the wormhole on Ellesmere Island in the Arctic, followed by the wormhole in Death Valley. , Then the wormhole in London, and finally here in New York.

There is a specific space coordinate. Through this Spatial Shift Formation, four space bases can also be connected. The only thing missing now is the source of power to support his space travel, and such things , And he is still placed in his own villa in Los Angeles.

Ling Xiao not at all rushed to return to Los Angeles. He didn’t finish the matter in New York. According to the news from Jessica Jones, Daredevil finally made new progress and took over at his latest In one of the cases, a somewhat lonely old lady was brought into sight, and this person was Madame Gao, one of the leaders of The Hand that Ling Xiao had been looking for.

Ling Xiao once again appeared in Jessica Jones’ office. It was still messy, and there was not much sign of sorting out.

Jessica just sent the addict next door away, and when she turned around, she saw Ling Xiao sitting in her chair, gave him an angry look, and said, “You can’t knock normally. Every time the door comes in, it appears and disappears unpredictably.”

Ling Xiao laughed helplessly and said: “Okay, I will respect your privacy in the future. Let’s talk about it now and find out What’s new?”

Jessica’s face immediately became serious when talking about business. She said with a serious face: “You made me stare at Matt Murdock. I found something very interesting.”

After a short pause, Jessica continued: “Remember the last time I mentioned to you that Daredevil released Russian Mafia who was a smuggled woman. , They kidnapped a little boy and led Matt Murdock into the trap. Matt Murdock stepped into the trap to save the child and was seriously injured and defeated. I attacked and rescued him. After he was well wounded, another man was killed. The Russian hiding place saved the little boy.”

Jessica stared at Ling Xiao closely, and said with a serious face: “You know what happened after Matt rescued the person Is it?”

Jessica took out a somewhat fuzzy picture from his own pocket, and mood grave said: “The two leaders of Russian Mafia went to meet these people. This is James Wesley, this It’s the two Head of the Russian Mafia, also this old lady.”

“Madame Gao!” Ling Xiao was slightly sighed, picking up the fuzzy picture, Madame Gao fuzzy face, who could have thought This old Chinese lady who seems unimposing in appearance is actually one of the Leaders of The Hand cruel.

Put down the photo, Ling Xiao looked at Jessica and said, and asked with concern: “Are you not hurt?”

“en?” Jessica was taken aback for a moment, then After understanding what Ling Xiao was talking about, she couldn’t help but ask in surprise: “How do you know I was discovered by this old lady?”

Ling Xiao glanced at Jessica, and then slightly shook the head and said: “With your technique, you shouldn’t just take such a fuzzy picture. It should be something that forced you to give up tracking and taking pictures. The only reasonable explanation is that you were discovered. “

“I can’t hide anything from you!” Jessica smiled bitterly, and said: “I just pressed the shutter, and there was a slight flash. The old lady standing outside several hundred meters found me. I don’t dare to wait any longer, so I just leave immediately.”

“putting it that way, you shouldn’t see your true identity.” Ling Xiao was slightly nodded first, and then his face was solemn. “But even so, you can’t be careless. Who knows if the old woman can find your trace by other means.”

Pause for a while, Ling Xiao lifts the head and looks Jessica, said solemnly: “Jesse, during this period of time, you will be a bit safer. Don’t worry about Madame Gao’s affairs. Focus on tracking and monitoring Matt Murdock. The fate between these two people is not shallow. Following him, you will definitely be able to find her again. When the time comes with Daredevil rushing in front, you are secretly investigating all Madame Gao’s situation, especially her interpersonal contacts.”

Ling Xiao’s words both reveal a touch of Madame Gao. The wariness, no, not Madame Gao, but the entire The Hand behind her, the wariness of K’un-Lun that exists in this World, what does K’un-Lun of this World look like?

“Okay, I will listen to you.” Regarding Ling Xiao’s instructions, Jessica simply had no idea of ​​rejecting her. In the following period of time, her eyes were mainly nailed to Matt Murdock, also James Wesley appears occasionally, and Wilson Fisk gradually reveals his true identity.
