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

Chapter 707: It's not that he didn't come, it's that he's already lying down.
The three remaining members of the Defenders set off from the sewers of Hell's Kitchen, intending to find a way to the Hand's castle tower.

During this process, they also exchanged information about the Hand and Matt.

"I wonder what the Hand promised and said to Matt that made him trust them so much."

As Luke Cage spoke, he led the way, with Jessica Jones following behind, using her flashlight to survey the surroundings: "Perhaps it's because Erica's death was too much of a blow to him, and Erica wasn't even killed by the Hand."

On the other side, Iron Fist Daniel gave a completely opposite answer after a brief moment of thought.

"Perhaps the Hand showed Matt something, like they promised to resurrect Erica."

The two people walking in front stopped involuntarily and looked at Daniel. After a moment of silence, Daniel asked, "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

"The premise is that the Hand can really bring the dead back to life? Can they do that?"

Faced with this question, Daniel was also uncertain: "In Kunlun, I have heard many similar stories. Resurrection itself is a thing that goes against the laws of nature. Either the act of resurrection itself has huge hidden dangers and problems, or a sufficient price must be paid, otherwise it cannot be done."

"If it's true, the Hand certainly wouldn't choose to pay such a huge price; there's definitely something wrong with the method they've come up with."

Jessica Jones stopped and looked up after confirming their location: "Hmm, that should be the Japanese castle up there, and it looks like the entrances and exits around here are the passageways... wait, they're blocked off by fences."

"Excuse me, ma'am..."

Luke Cage was about to ask Jessica Jones to move aside when she kicked the fence away. Her image as a detective had almost made the Defenders forget that she was also a superhuman. She tossed her hair and walked in. The two grown men exchanged a glance and then quickly followed.

"I love this girl so much, buddy."

Iron Fist glanced at Luke Cage: "Then you should ask her out for dinner or something."

"...Let's wait until next time. Now is not a good time to talk about this."

Things unfolded exactly as they had expected. Although the castle tower had appeared out of nowhere, it was still connected to the underground sewer system, and the wastewater inside still needed to be discharged as usual. The three of them walked through the sewer system step by step. Suddenly, Jessica turned off her flashlight and whispered, "Be careful, there's light ahead."

"It looks like the light of a torch."

Daniel looked carefully, and after confirming the source of the light, the three of them exchanged glances in the darkness, nodded to each other, and quickly followed. As the light gradually cleared, the section connecting to the sewers finally came into view: it was a dungeon, and inside were imprisoned some people. There were also some immortal ninjas guarding them.

The three defenders, witnessing all of this, pondered a question: Did Matt know all this?

They almost immediately dispatched all the undead ninjas, and then took the opportunity to prepare to release the prisoners. However, when Jessica Jones saw one of the prisoners being held alone, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Tanti?!"

The girl imprisoned in the dungeon was none other than "Dagger" Tanti Bowen. This discovery astonished Jessica, who immediately removed the dungeon bars and helped Dagger up: "What happened? What are you doing here? Are you alright?"

“A woman was killing someone in the alley, luring me and Tyrone there, and then subdued us… I’m alright.” “The Cloak isn’t here.” Having checked the surroundings and confirmed this, Iron Fist crouched down and asked Dagger, “Do you know where he was taken?”

"I...I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that woman's goal might be Talon. Oh my god...without the suppression of his light abilities, his shadow dimension teleportation ability will go out of control..."

The group exchanged glances, then realized that the Cloak's actions, which had sealed off the entire Hell's Kitchen, were likely not simply a matter of him going out of control. Rather, the Hand had captured him and used his abilities to create a space that isolated Hell's Kitchen.

So it seems that all the necessary steps for the appearance of the Sky Keep were nonsense. This was just a conspiracy by the Hand. Poor Matt was completely unaware of this. Jessica Jones, who had just realized this, immediately looked up.

“We have to go up there and tell Matt what really happened here.”

"I'm sorry, you can't go anywhere."

A voice speaking in heavily Japanese-accented English rang out. The Silver Samurai, wielding a katana, strolled up to the others, drew his longsword, and activated his powers, aiming it at them. Luke Cage immediately rushed forward to fight, and the Silver Samurai swung his sword in response. But just as they were about to clash, a steel fist, sensing danger, pulled Luke Cage behind him.

The slash easily cut through Luke Cage's skin, which even anti-materiel sniper rifles couldn't penetrate, and blood flowed out.

“Be careful, his blade is very sharp... you can’t handle him.” As Iron Fist spoke, he gathered his energy in his right fist, allowing the power of Iron Fist to be nurtured within it: “The only one among us who can fight him is probably my fist. The power of Iron Fist is not material, but true immortality. His blade can’t hurt me either.”

“I’ll stop them here to buy the prisoners time to escape. You guys hurry up and find Daredevil and tell him the truth.”

Luke Cage and Jessica Jones exchanged a glance, then grabbed Tanti, whose strength had not yet fully recovered, and rushed forward, leaving only Iron Fist and Silver Warrior to face off. Silver Warrior looked at Iron Fist and nodded slightly: "Perhaps your fist is strong, but you only have one chance. Once I strike you, you will surely die."

“I am well aware of this, so I am very grateful that you did not ambush us.”

"This is the natural thing for a samurai."

Daniel seemed somewhat surprised: "You're a samurai?"

"I'm just a ronin now, so I serve the ninjas."

The fight between the two was about to break out when Daniel suddenly frowned: "Did you hear anything... strange?"

"What's that sound?" After listening carefully, the silver warriors were certain that there was indeed a similar sound, and after a brief pause, they found it increasingly strange.

Why does it sound like a motorcycle?

"Hey hey hey!"

The chains of burning hellfire instantly hooked around the Silver Knight's neck, throwing him into the air until he crashed to the ground. Then, Ghost Rider, who had emerged from the sewers on his motorcycle, dismounted and looked at the bewildered Iron Fist: "What's wrong? Am I late?"
