I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 693 The show is about to begin

"So, Daken has woken up? Okay, I see. He's willing to cooperate with us against the Hand? Well, I hope he'll cooperate with us going to jail, though I don't think he will."

After hanging up the phone with Logan at the Nelson-Murdoch law firm, Peter looked at Matt, who was still in shock, and then at Erica sitting opposite Matt, and asked, "So, is there anything else that needs to be adjusted?"

“No, no, it’s almost perfect—except for the heartbeat being too regular and fluctuating abnormally, it’s practically perfect.” Matt was referring, of course, to Erica in front of him, or more accurately, to Erica’s LMD: “It’s hard to imagine that S.H.I.E.L.D. has mastered such technology. At least to me (even though he’s blind), there’s nothing unusual about it.”

"Even if there's a heart problem, it doesn't matter. Anyway, when the Hand gets their hands on someone, there's no heartbeat... so they can't be considered dead."

Peter grumbled as he handed Matt a capsule: "Here, this is a nanobot specially made by Dr. Pym. It can help keep your heart steady and prevent the Gorgon from finding out what's wrong."

Matt didn't mind and swallowed the capsule directly, then took a deep breath.

Deakin was indeed very proactive in taking down the Hand, telling Logan a lot of information about the Hand. First, there was the Hand's leader—naturally a Japanese man codenamed Gorgon. He was highly skilled in martial arts and a mutant whose mutant ability was to petrify anyone who made eye contact with him. This was the origin of his codename Gorgon. Therefore, although he was not blind, he was used to covering his eyes.

Therefore, considering that the other party, like Matt, has used hearing instead of sight for location for decades, it is necessary to guess that the other party's hearing is at Matt's level and that they can also judge whether someone is lying by hearing other people's heartbeats.

In addition, Deakin revealed information about several Hand executives. First, there was Erika, who had already defected. Second, there was Silver Samurai, whom everyone had already met. Then there was a Japanese woman dressed as a ninja, but with a forehead shaped like Bullseye's and similar abilities. She might be one of Bullseye's imitators.

The last one is a crazy woman who has painted half of her face white. Matt recognizes her from the description. She is the former villain and Matt's ex-girlfriend, Mary Alice Walker, a schizophrenic superhuman, also known as Typhoid Mary.

I have no idea how Matt and this guy got together in the first place.

Matt clearly wasn't going to talk about that topic, and instead changed the subject to what happened last night.

"No matter what, the enemy's numbers are not small. Putting aside the overwhelming number of ninjas, the fact that we can't find their headquarters is enough to give us trouble, not to mention that I was chased all night yesterday."

Last night wasn't as romantic as the night before. His apartment was suddenly attacked by the Hand, and he and Erica fled overnight. They fought the Hand on the rooftop of Hell's Kitchen all night, barely getting any rest. He predicted that the Hand would launch another major attack tonight, probably to take back or kill Erica.

Thinking about this, Matt countered Peter's question: "Do you think there's a high chance that Fisk and the Hand will announce a partnership?"

"It's very likely, but the chances of both sides revealing everything are slim. The Hand may have only invited Kingpin to kill you and the traitor and cooperate with him, but in reality, they will most likely protect you and let Erica be killed."

After analyzing the demands of both sides, Peter concluded: "Kingpin agreed, making the Hand think he had succeeded. But as long as Kingpin conceals the fact that Bullseye has the healing factor, he can make the Hand believe that he is your sworn enemy."

“But in reality, since Lester isn’t dead, he can withdraw at any time, and the Hand thinks I’ll fight Fisk to the death, they’ll try to recruit me into the Hand.” Peter nodded.

“And Erica’s resurrection ritual is a good idea. I can blackmail the Hand into not joining them unless Erica is resurrected.” Matt continued along this line of thought: “Erica’s resurrection ritual and my succession ritual, or more accurately, the descent of the ‘Beast’, may be held together. When that time comes, it will be time for me to summon the entire Defenders League and wipe them out in one fell swoop.”

Peter nodded, and then both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Peter then asked Matt about it.

"Are you ready?"

"To be honest, I'm a little nervous. It's quite difficult to anticipate all of this."

"Shall we rehearse it again?"

"Of course, no problem. Uh, is there no problem with the agency?"

Peter scratched his head. Whether Matt's LMD could handle the disguise was not something Peter could be sure of; you'd have to ask the manufacturer, Nick Fury.

As the two stood up, the surrounding environment instantly changed from the Nelson Murdoch agency to the top floor of Hell's Kitchen. Matt's clothes also changed into Daredevil's uniform. With one Hand ninja after another appearing, copied from Deakin and Peter's memories, a great escape seemed imminent.

“I saw in the weather forecast that it would rain a little in Hell’s Kitchen tonight, so I added some weather elements.”

The sounds of wild beasts came from all around, and the air around them became humid. Matt took a deep breath and felt the sound of rain falling around him: "No, the simulation is perfect. To be honest, it's a bit too perfect. It's unbelievable that you guys train with these things all the time."

The beast chuckled amicably. The Danger Chamber was indeed an excellent and powerful facility, where they could simulate any scenario they needed.

Peter then turned to Gwen, who was familiarizing herself with and learning how to operate the danger room, and asked, "Gwen, how's it going on your end? Don't let your simulation go wrong tonight."

"Well, I've pretty much learned it. Don't worry, at worst I'll just have Ms. Foster memorize the operating plan."

Gwen said excitedly that Spider-Man's mission would finally include her, and although she was quite sure it was for safety reasons, it was still enough to make Gwen happy.

Peter looked at the simulated Hand soldiers in front of him, then at Matt, and then began another rehearsal.
