Being mind-controlled?
Seeing this, Darian connected it to the mission name and instantly imagined a two-hour long plot.
He looked elsewhere, trying to find the faceless man holding a phone with a pink heart displayed on the screen.
He didn't find the faceless man, but he did see a man in a purple suit.
[NPC: Zebediah Kilgrave]
[Codename: Purple Man]
[Affection: 0]
[Comments: Hypnosis, Kink, Bondage, Exhibitionism.]
Darian was dumbfounded.
It was his first time seeing an NPC with so many keywords, and each one was more unbroadcastable than the last.
This wasn't a Purple Man; 'Hentai Protagonist' would be more fitting.
At this moment, Kilgrave was leisurely enjoying his meal, while Jessica stood expressionlessly beside him, like a soulless puppet.
Clearly, the person controlling Jessica was Kilgrave.
How enviable. Oh no, what a despicable superpower!
However, from his small physique, he probably couldn't withstand a single blow from Jessica.
Besides that, Darian also saw a familiar figure: Matt Lawyer's ex-girlfriend, Erica!
[NPC: Erica Natchios]
[Affection: -30]
[Comments: The Hand's top assassin, Daredevil's girlfriend]
[Status: Being mind-controlled]
Like Jessica, Erica also stood by Kilgrave's side, one on his left and one on his right, like personal bodyguards.
Darian didn't expect Erica to also be controlled by Kilgrave.
She didn't have Jessica's strength, and he only hoped Kilgrave hadn't had time to do anything yet, otherwise Matt Lawyer's head would be glowing green.
Crash!
Suddenly, a red short staff shattered the glass window and shot rapidly towards Kilgrave!
Before Kilgrave could react, Erica by his side had already acted, raising two sai to precisely block the incoming staff.
Seeing this, Kilgrave was both shocked and angry, and he roared, "Who is it?!"
Bang!!
The restaurant wall shattered in response!
A muscular black man broke through the wall, charging in like a wild bull, knocking Erica aside, and rushing towards Kilgrave!
[NPC: Luke Cage]
[Affection: 0]
[Comments: Strong and hard, the man who can withstand a single blow from Jessica]
But before Luke Cage could get close, Jessica blocked in front of Kilgrave, punching Luke Cage hard in the head!
Bang!
Accompanied by a dull thud!
Luke Cage was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a load-bearing wall, which immediately cracked with spiderweb-like fissures.
At the same time, Matt, in his Daredevil uniform, jumped in through the window.
Taking advantage of Jessica intercepting Luke Cage, he quickly rushed towards Kilgrave, attempting to subdue him.
But just then, a sai attacked from behind, deeply piercing Matt's back.
Matt grunted, staggered, and nearly fell.
"Stop him for me!"
Kilgrave reacted and immediately shouted loudly.
At his command, the stunned waiters and diners in the restaurant immediately swarmed Matt like rugby players.
Matt dared not harm these ordinary people. After dodging several tackles, he was eventually overwhelmed and pinned to the ground by the frenzied crowd.
Looking at the subdued Matt, Kilgrave sneered, "It's you again, Daredevil. I didn't expect you to bring a helper this time. You almost succeeded."
"Bastard!!"
Luke Cage stood up again, furiously charging towards Kilgrave once more.
However, Kilgrave merely glanced at him indifferently.
"Stop for me."
As his words fell, the previously enraged Luke Cage actually stopped, his eyes gradually becoming vacant.
This was Kilgrave's special ability.
By releasing a pheromone through his skin, anyone who inhaled or came into skin contact with this pheromone could be mind-controlled by the Purple Man through his words.
Even a command to commit suicide would be carried out without hesitation!
It was this ability that allowed Kilgrave to easily control Jessica and Erica, and now Luke Cage.
"This is bad."
Sensing that Luke Cage was completely controlled by Kilgrave, Matt's mood instantly plummeted.
In recent days, Hell's Kitchen had seen multiple riots, with many strangers fighting each other. Matt followed the clues to Kilgrave and discovered his ability to control others.
Not only that, Matt also found that Kilgrave had controlled Erica. His face immediately turned green, and he rushed over to rescue Erica, but was severely injured by the controlled Erica.
Matt couldn't understand.
Why, every time he saw Erica, she didn't remember him, and her attacks were always so ruthless.
Kilgrave had originally wanted to control Matt, but fortunately, his willpower was strong enough that he barely managed to break free from Kilgrave's control and escape.
But Matt didn't give up and continued to look for opportunities to save Erica.
During this time, he met Luke Cage, who was also investigating Kilgrave. Coincidentally, Luke Cage's one-night stand, whom he had met by chance in bed, was also controlled by Kilgrave.
So the two hit it off, devised this girlfriend rescue plan, intending to ambush Kilgrave and quickly subdue him, not giving him a chance to use his abilities.
However, their plan failed.
Not only did they fail to subdue Kilgrave, but they also lost a teammate.
Now Kilgrave had Jessica on his left, Erica on his right, and Luke Cage, the black and hard beast, beneath him.
With such a formidable lineup, even if Matt went all out, he had no chance of winning.
Surrounded by three powerful figures, Kilgrave said triumphantly to Matt, "Daredevil, even if you can resist my ability, what good is it? Your companions still obediently become my pets. With these powerful pets, I will soon become the of Hell's Kitchen."
"Gurgle gurgle!"
An untimely sound suddenly rang out.
Kilgrave paused, then turned to look at the source of the sound.
He saw Darian sitting in a corner seat of the restaurant, drinking ice Water with a straw, leisurely watching them, just like a bystander.
Seeing Kilgrave look over, Darian chuckled, "Why are you looking at me? You guys continue. You'll become what of Hell's Kitchen again?"
Kilgrave: "..."
Matt: "..."
All his attention had been on Kilgrave just now, and he hadn't noticed Darian was also there.
Matt quickly shouted, "Run! He can control everyone!"
"Too late."
Kilgrave snorted, thinking Darian was just sitting too far away to hear his command.
He immediately shouted at Darian, "Come here!"
"Gurgle gurgle!"
Darian continued to drink his ice Water, unmoved.
"Come here!"
Kilgrave frowned, raising his voice again.
"Gurgle gurgle!"
"Come here!!"
"Gurgle gurgle!"
Kilgrave: "..."
Is this guy deaf?!
