Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
64. Letter of the 4th Tempter!

“Devil with fake smile holding Golden Feather

Who knew that the punishment under the moon was coming

Avalanche, strong wind, riot, earthquake, ulcer, sandstorm

When six disasters come together

I'll take back the badge of honor that doesn't belong to you

Sincerely, Phantom Kid”

New York, the home of Commissioner George.

George was thinking about the teaser letter Kid sent them, and could not fall asleep.

“Daddy, what are you reading? Why haven't you slept?”

At this moment, his daughter Gwen came by his side.

“Gwen, I have to work, tomorrow you have to go to school. Go to bed quickly. Good girls should not stay up this late.”

George smiled gently and patted his daughter's head.

"Is that your job?"

Gwen's cute big eyes opened wide, as she glanced at the card in George's hand.

“That's not something you should care about, little darling. All you need to do now is sleep well, it's too late. ”

George took Gwen and led her into the bedroom in a carefree giggle.

Only when Gwen falls asleep does George return to the study and check out the seductress' letter.

"Golden Feather ..."

As soon as the Golden Lamb Fur was mentioned, George thought of a very famous and rare treasure in Greek mythology, the Golden Lamb Fur, meaning wealth, and also symbolizing adventure and an indomitable will, and the pursuit and pursuit of happiness.

In other words, this should be the goal of the Phantom Kid.

But …

"What exactly is the Golden Lamb Fur and who is the smiling devil?"

Although the Phantom Kid only concerned himself with various gems, to be exact those that were of great value, even without reading the teaser letter, one would most likely think of the next target to become a gem as well.

But the problem is that New York has held three jewelry exhibitions held by different groups in recent months, as well as a large diamond auction, each with its own grand finale gem.

These four venues are held in four unconnected districts of New York, and who knows which of them is the concern of the Phantom Kid.

George knew that he would have to decipher the contents of the teaser letter as soon as possible, otherwise every show would have to be arranged for protection, and that it would cost the police a lot of manpower.

According to the first three Kid teaser letters, it can be seen that the key to solving the puzzle only exists in one or two codes, hidden inside the entire teaser letter.

The last letter is quite easy to handle. Through Queen Elizabeth, one can quickly relate the contents of the letter to the Twelve Knights of the English Round Table.

But the United States has hardly any kind of famous native mythology. Even if there are many folklore, it is not systematically used in everyday life.

After all, the time of the founding of the country was less than three hundred years, how could Americans build a historical and cultural heritage?

And six disasters, is there anything like that?

George knew that God had seven disasters.

Avalanches, hurricanes, riots, earthquakes, festering, sandstorms ...

Are these things really connected?

What's even stranger is that the NYPD hasn't received a call from the victim that Kid is targeting, because he didn't send them any notice. Or are the victims unwilling to call the police?”

There's too much to find out.

After thinking about it for a long time, George decided to call and ask ...

On the other hand, Mathison followed the ventilation ducts and eventually gained an early understanding of the internal structure of the Wilson Building.

There is more room for reporters to make movies, as well as dance halls, tables, audience seats, and podiums.

It seemed like it could hold more than three thousand people at once.

You don't have to think about it to know that not many high-class people will come. This so-called 'charity party' was just a show.

  Most of the people who would come were probably just Kingpin's men.

And it's likely that those reporters have been bribed again by him.

"If I'm not careful enough with this one, I'll probably get 3,000 guns pointed at me."

Mathison rubbed her chin, thinking.

"There are two monitors installed in each of the four corners, and there are almost no dead ends ..."

”Heh, is Kingpin really confident or what? There is actually no trace of the setting mechanism here at all. but yes, who in this world would dare to steal from Kingpin other than me?”

At first, he thought the environment here would be very dangerous and complicated, but in the end, he found that it was too monotonous.

"It seems I don't need to set foot here in the next few days ..."

After simulating the entire structure of the building in his head once, Mathison intends to go in person.

Before proceeding, he first went to the Kingpin's office quietly, then fired the card at a speed that no monitor could capture, and firmly inserted it into the Kingpin's desk.

Instead of returning to the roof, he went straight down the fork in the ventilation duct, landed directly on the first floor, and then spun around to the back of the Wilson Building.

There is an exit from the ventilation duct.

“Fiuh!”

However, as Mathison exited the vent, she heard a slight sound of wind.

Mathison's eyes flashed, her hands and feet exerted force at the same time, and she burst out of the ventilation duct in an instant.

Only Mathison's body came out of the alley. White clothes stained with rust were left in the mouth of the pipe and hit by a stick thrown out of nowhere.

Mathison landed and looked back. His body had been replaced with a set of ghost boy costumes.

What attacked him just now was a short red stick with a long rope tied at the end. From the sound that had just been heard, it could be concluded that the attacker had not done too much force in it; it was as if an ordinary person had thrown a stick. Receiving this blow on the head would cause a brief coma.

But clearly, to appear in this place at this moment, it was impossible for it to be thrown by an ordinary person.

The attack was more of a warning.

”You are not one of Kingpin's men. Why did you sneak into the Wilson Building at midnight?”

Along with a low voice, a man in red tights stepped out from the shadows.

"And why, yourself, are you here?"

Mathison asked back rhetorically. He recognizes the man in front of him as Daredevil, a hard-to-find street hero.

He knew that Daredevil and Kingpin were mortal enemies, and it was only natural that Daredevil would approach the Wilson Building to patrol. But with what just happened, it was clear that Matt had been waiting for him here early in the morning.

"I've been watching you ever since you slid into the sky toward the Wilson Building."

Daredevil has no intention of hiding what he knows.

"I can feel the wind moving, and the current of air as you glide makes your presence almost invisible, especially when I realize that you want to be here."

”At first I thought you were a Kingpin freshly hired meat, but he usually doesn't recruit new people at will unless he's planning another big move. So, I'm following behind you. But now that I've caught you sneaking into his building, I can say for sure that you're not one of his subordinates. ”

"Well, can you explain how you know I'm out of this channel, and why you just attacked me?"

Mathison suddenly finds it interesting that Daredevil is blind, which means he should not be aware of his identity as the Phantom Kid.

”My hearing senses are also different to normal people; I hear all the sounds you make in the ventilation ducts. With a little assessment of my 'voice', I can figure out where you're going to come from. ”

“Vents channels explain everything. If you are not a stranger here, you will not take it.”
