Two miniature reconnaissance drones hovered over Hell's Kitchen.
High-definition optical lenses captured the bloody Carnage on the ground.
The Vought Tower, Clock Tower.
Four holographic split screens, each three meters wide, are suspended in mid-air.
On the screen in the center, Daredevil kicks down the clock tower stairs, forcing the Punisher to crash through a window and jump.
In the bottom right corner of the screen, the data stream is refreshing.
Motoko Kusanagi extracted the frame where Daredevil deflected the armor-piercing bullet.
"Sir, the target's muscle fiber density has increased by 340 percent compared to before, and a high concentration of unknown biological calcification has been detected in the spine."
That slash just now, the Blade's instantaneous speed reached 420 meters per second, exceeding the physical limits of a regular Super Soldier Serum.
Beside him, Tifa Lockhart looked at Daredevil on the screen, who was killing anyone in sight, and sighed.
"Two months ago, when the Ministry of Justice was evaluating municipal public interest projects, I saw Mr. Murdock's file."
"Back then, he represented the poor in Hell's Kitchen, and he couldn't even bring himself to charge a $300 legal fee."
"Every time I put on that red outfit and went out, there would be a few more wanted criminals with missing limbs at the police station entrance."
Tifa turned her head and glanced at the gangster whose throat had been slit in the video.
"What exactly the Hand put into his body to turn a living person into this state?"
" The Hand didn't put anything new into his head; they just cut the chain that was binding him."
Ada Wong walked to the other side of the control panel in her high heels, the hem of her cheongsam sliding open with her movement.
She pointed to another thermal image in the lower right corner of the screen, in which Joker was dancing wildly atop a chemical plant tower.
" The Joker killed all the police he trusted, and then transformed his best friend, breaking his spine. That despair had already pushed his nerves to the limit."
" The Hand simply took advantage of his vulnerability and cleaned away the moral impurities for him."
"This method is somewhat similar to how Doctor Shinigami modified the Shocker Riders in South America, except the Hand uses black magic that has been passed down for hundreds of years."
In the scene, Daredevil takes three steps across the slippery roof tiles.
When the Punisher turned around and fired three shots, Daredevil didn't even dodge, letting the bullets hit him.
But the bullet didn't penetrate the man; the black slime on his body simply expelled the bullet.
Nina tapped her right hand, which was clasped to her chest, twice on her left wristband.
"The way this modified body generates force through its joints and its center of gravity shifts is very unique."
" Dr. Horton and Dr. Sinclair were just looking for reference samples for bone strengthening. Should I capture him alive and send him to the lab?"
"Capture alive?"
Ada Wong turned her head, glanced at Nina, and chuckled.
"My dear little Nina, the blood on your palms hasn't even been wiped off yet, why can't you sit still as soon as you see a tough nut to crack?"
"Aren't you afraid he'll tear your beautiful gloves?"
Nina ignored Ada's teasing and pointed at Daredevil in the frozen image.
"If I shut down his movement space within three meters and break that protruding vertebra on his third lumbar vertebra, I can dislocate all the joints in his limbs within three minutes."
Motoko Kusanagi typed a few commands on the keyboard, bringing up the standby status of Vought International's Manhattan Special Operations Team.
"The two heavy transport planes stationed at the West End port are ready to take off at any time, and their onboard liquid nitrogen capture nets and powerful nerve-paralyzing munitions are already loaded."
" Nina can reach the skies 48th Street within eight minutes, provided the master gives the order."
The hall fell silent, and the three women's gazes simultaneously fell on the man standing by the window.
At Vought International, everything from a $30 billion the Pentagon defense contract to the life or death of a modified monster on the street depends on a single word from Lynn.
There's no need to rush to bring them back.
Lynn gestured to Motoko to switch the screen to a 3D strategic sandbox of Hell's Kitchen.
Nina lowered her arms and returned to her original position without asking why.
"Over the past few decades, Hell's Kitchen has become like the appendix in New York's stomach."
"On the surface, it's under the jurisdiction of the municipal government, but what's the reality?"
"Kingpin launders Kingpin and smuggles weapons here, the Hand hides in underground rivers hundreds of meters underground digging up dragon bones for cult sacrifices, and even S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the military like to hide their dirty accounts in underground banks."
Ada Wong looked in the direction he was pointing.
On the sand table, a dozen or so yellow dots representing Kingpin's remnants are being devoured by green dots representing the Joker Gang and dark red dots representing the Hand.
" The Hand, annoyed by the Joker's antics, unleashed her most potent weapon to clear the area."
" The Joker thinks it's funny and is pushing all the outlaws in the city into the fire."
"Let them bite. The Hand's beasts combined with the Joker's madness are the perfect broom to clean up this underground junkyard."
Tifa nodded thoughtfully and crossed out the plan for deploying the special operations mechs on the schedule.
"Sir, do you mean we should wait until they force out all the Kingpin and underground vaults Kingpin left behind, and then go and take what's there?"
"Not just Kingpin."
Lynn glanced at the screen where Captain America was fighting Daredevil.
"Those old Haozi from the Hand have been hiding underground for hundreds of years, holding many ancient relics and dragon bone resources that even Hydra covets."
"They hid very well before; even after three satellite scans, Motoko still couldn't find all the coordinates of their altars."
"Now that Daredevil has broken free of his coffin, every time he uses the Power of Black Sky within him, he resonates with a certain abnormal energy node."
Motoko Kusanagi pulled on the control panel with both hands, overlaying the Quake spectrum from 300 meters underground in Hell's Kitchen onto it.
Lynn turned her head to look at Nina beside her.
" Nina, a good hunter never pulls in the net as soon as the prey emerges from its burrow."
"Once this beast has wiped out Kingpin's Kingpin, we'll lure all those cowardly Five Fingers veterans under Madame Gao into the open and expose all their trump cards."
"At that time, whether it's Yasuo or our newly packaged heroes who come to clean up the mess, we can justifiably wipe out the entire Hell's Kitchen."
Nina lowered her head slightly. "It was my oversight, sir."
"It's not your fault, you did a great job."
Lynn casually offered a compliment before turning her gaze back to the screen.
In the scene, Captain America and the Punisher fight and retreat.
Dugan drove his armored vehicle into a brick wall at the street corner, and the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun rained bullets down at Daredevil's feet, forcibly tearing open an escape route.
Daredevil did not chase after the armored vehicle.
At the other end of the street, two modified water trucks covered in green balloons crashed through the roadblocks and sped towards them.
The loudspeaker on the roof of the car blared the Joker's ear-piercing laughter.
Two mad forces collided head-on at the intersection of 48th Street, and a new round of Carnage was ignited in the torrential rain.
" Motoko, clear the way for the captain and the others to retreat, and while you're at it, send a high-risk warning to Dugan's vehicle terminal."
"Tell them that the Hand's ultimate weapon has gone out of control, and that they should proceed to South America as planned. Leave the situation in New York to Vought."
"Instructions have been issued."
After Motoko finished her report, she zoomed out the live feed of 48th Street to a corner of the screen.
Ada Wong walked to Lynn's side.
"Boss, since the Hell's Kitchen show is going to continue for two more days, why don't you take a look at the other report card that just came out tonight?"
"Did Senator Thomson's hand shake when he signed it?"
"How could he be shaking? It's a $30 billion defense deal, and his foundation owns a 2% stake in it. He signed the contract faster than he got married when he was young."
Ada Wong pulled out a document and opened it to the first page.
The above is a "Transfer of Authority Agreement for All-American Superman Defense and Contingency Response" jointly signed by the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Congressional Military Committee.
"Starting at midnight tonight, except for the Presidential Guard in Washington, D.C.., all oversight authority over Superman crimes and high-risk experimental subjects in all fifty states will be transferred to Vought."
"The handover of assets at the military's six special biological bases will be completed by our internal audit team within the next 72 hours."
" Abomination! Blonsky has been locked in heavy solitary confinement."
" Dr. Samuel Sterns did not resist; instead, upon seeing our gene sequencer, he voluntarily handed over his privately held formula for gamma cell division."
