A dark hoodie, a sloppy small shoulder bag, and a compact camera, this is Jessica Jones' classic three-piece set when she worked.

When facing the anxious and sad woman this morning, Jessica suddenly changed her mind not because of her conscience, but because of another reason.

When she continued to ask several questions calmly and asked clearly the abnormal situation before her child disappeared, Jessica quickly came up with a name in her mind based on these abnormalities.

Tebdia Kilgrave.

Purple man.

The nightmare in her heart that can never be erased.

This terrible woman was able to control her and use her language, just a word, and a stranger she didn't know could even die for her.

It can be analyzed from Jessica's intense reaction that the two obviously have a very unpleasant past memory.

In fact, Jessica can't tell whether she has gotten rid of her.

Zi Ren has a very strong language power. It is completely impossible for people who are controlled by her to never think about relying on their own strength to get rid of her in their entire lives.

But Jessica escaped and used her own power, but... she began to doubt now.

Jessica was afraid that this was just her self-righteousness. She thought she had broken free from the shackles of Zi Ren, got rid of her mental control and escaped. In fact, this was just another game for Zi Ren, she let her go, like a cat and a mouse.

Jessica has seen those people and has personally experienced that those who are controlled by the Purple Man are like walking dead bodies, not... more terrible than that.

It’s like the mind and the body are separated, and the mind is trapped behind a screen, and that screen is your own body. The mind that cuts off the connection with the body’s signals can’t do anything. You can only watch your former body complete the things you don’t want to do at all.

Watching myself assaulting strangers, watching myself stabbing a sharp knife into the lower abdomen of my closest relatives, watching my hands covered in blood, watching myself walking onto the rooftop... and then jumping.

You can't feel pain, but you can taste despair that is more suffocating than death.

That was a really...a very terrible experience.

It is precisely because it is so terrible that Jessica never believed that she had escaped the demon. She felt that all this was like a dream. Her current experience was dreaming, or the terrible memories that used to be the nightmare.

She kept numbing herself with alcohol, and only in this way could she enjoy a moment of peace.

But now, the purple man appeared again, how can this prevent Jessica from being anxious and panicked?

When he was cheering up, Jessica was still a very qualified detective.

Even if things are falling to a very bad point, she still needs to calm down. It is this way that she needs to be more calm, peel off the threads and find truly valuable clues.

Jamietri, a nameless, fell down and killed ten New Yorkers. Five people could call this name, and the remaining five were called Tom or Jack, the son of the middle-aged woman, the missing unlucky guy.

According to the clues provided by the middle-aged woman, he hangs out with a group of Irish people.

All Jessica could think of was the Irish Gang in Hell's Kitchen, a group of bastards who did everything they wanted but still claimed to be sticking to the so-called bottom line.

Although she is a private detective, Jessica doesn't like to get involved with the gangsters. Even if her power can handle most of the trouble, she still has a natural sense of staying away from these things.

In other words, her heart did not keep pushing her to become a superhero, not because she was afraid, but because she didn't like trouble.

Gangsters are always entangled with trouble.

It is not a troublesome to ask for a small person named Jamie Trier among the lower-level personnel. After swollen his third eye socket with his fist, Jessica got the news he wanted as he wished and stuffed his camera.

It seems to be related to the Purple Man.

Recently, some kind of rumor appeared in Hell's Kitchen. It seemed that a new player wanted to intervene in this big cake. He swept away some scattered small groups at an extremely fast speed, and soon gathered a force that cannot be ignored from three or five people--

And these people were very loyal, especially the leaders, almost completely loyal to this invisible existence.

Jessica's face was serious, which was indeed very consistent with the characteristics of Zi Ren's ability, because she only needed a light sentence, and these people would strive to die to show their loyalty to her, and even take out their true hearts.

And Jamie Tri, the lowest and small figure among the gangsters, of course, could not be exposed to the high-ranking existence of the Purple Man.

But the boss above him can.

According to the clues obtained by Jessica, the guy in charge of Jamie Tri's area went to Ireland with others to help, and when he came back, he seemed to have become a different person and began to expand wildly.

You know, it is not the 1950s and 1960s when the US gang was in its heyday. People were killed by guns and as long as there was no evidence, a few people were given the blame, the territory could be robbed.

*The mansion just turned a blind eye and didn't care too much.

But that was because the departments were in chaos at that time, and the interests were very complicated. No one paid attention to these matters of the lower-class civilians. Even with telephone and fax, the messages were still relatively closed, which gave the Black* faction room to survive.

Now... although the interests still exist, they are far less complex and huge than before, because the operating rules of the * Mansion have been improved. If you want to succeed, you must follow the rules instead of using brute force. There are countless pairs of eyes hidden in the dark who supervise each other. If you want to step on the other side, no one dares to do anything too outrageous.

The developed network puts everything almost on a transparent level, and the living space of the black *People has been repeatedly compressed.

Although they still exist, they rarely engage in bloody and violent businesses, such as robbery, charging protection fees, etc., and the main source of funds disappears from the eyes of ordinary people.

It can be said that they gave up activities that easily cause panic to ordinary people, which greatly reduced their exposure and seemed to disappear, which extended their survival time.

After giving up this part, they all turned into the black business. The current * Gang no longer had the same street fighting scenes as before. They were more like businessmen, but they were completely illegal businessmen.

So this kind of continuous expansion is simply crazy. Even in the 1950s and 1960s, there were no such crazy guys.

They would never think that after they stole it, they would be theirs. This is the United States, and there is no power that can surpass the * Mansion.

Now I haven't reacted. Once I come back to my senses, even relying on the power gathered by the New York Bureau, I can destroy them.

*National prisons are never short of empty rooms.

This behavior is completely self-destruction.

However, Jessica did not think it was a problem with Purple. The terrible thing about her ability to control people's hearts is not just that she can control others, but the controlled person is actually still smart.

They will not foolishly achieve their goals, and will even use their own minds to solve problems.

If the Purple Man wants to integrate the dark power of Hell Kitchen, then even if he gives orders, these insignificant cannon fodders will not be so reckless. They will still try not to attract the attention of the police and slowly expand their power.

Now the crazy actions of these cannon fodders... Obviously, the Purple Man's purpose is not to integrate Hell's Kitchen.

Jessica didn't know what the Purple Man was, but she must have other plans.

And Jamie Trier is an inconspicuous victim of this grand conspiracy.

According to the clues found, Jessica targeted a newly opened film and television peripheral store on the edge of Hell’s Kitchen.

Obviously, a guy like Jamie Trier must not be able to reach the existence of the Zi Ren, but his boss is loyally completing the tasks left by the Zi Ren.

Everyone was constantly expanding outward, and naturally, Jamie Trier also received such a notice.

But he didn't know what to do.

Let him scare ordinary people, and take out a knife to make a fortune after nightfall. Perhaps Jamie still has some experience and can do it a little.

But grab territory? Please, a series of banned businesses such as arms, products, etc. are the sources of funds for the Modern Gang. There has been no clear division of territory for more than 60 years, because the territory has been in full swing on the streets, and I am afraid no one knows what to do.

Just as the miserable middle-aged woman said, her child, Jamie Trier, was indeed a little clever.

After a long thought, he and his companions finally set their sights on a newly opened store. The location of the store is very delicate, on the edge of Hell's Kitchen, and almost left the block. In fact, half of the store's location is outside the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood.

A shop selling film and television peripherals.

Such a place, and it is a newly opened business... no one has visited it.

Jamie Trier didn't know what his boss meant. After thinking about it, he decided to charge some protection fee symbolically, and then show his face to be considered completing the task.

His intuition told him that the chaos in Hell's Kitchen is not normal now.

Jamie Trier didn't know anything about Jin Bing, nor did he know Mrs. Gao, or even Zi Ren. He was just one of the most inconspicuous garbage in Hell's Kitchen, but garbage also had the wisdom of garbage and their way of survival. This is the basis for them to survive in this chaotic neighborhood.

Unfortunately... this time his cleverness did not bring good luck as usual. On the contrary, he chose a path to ruin hell.

Jamie disappeared, just after coming to this surrounding store.

Jessica repeatedly compared many clues and finally targeted the store. Jamie disappeared after coming here, or... he disappeared here, in this store.

There were two other people who came with Jamie at that time, and the three of them came to the surrounding store together.

According to the memories of the gangster who was beaten by Jessica, Jamie was used to doing things in the morning, which means that he and his companions came here during the day.

But as Jessica investigated around the store, she found that not only did there be no witnesses in this incident, but no one nearby felt something unexpected happened that day.

That day seemed as quiet as ever, but in fact, because there were few things in Hell's Kitchen that could affect the edge of the block, it was not only quiet, but also quiet.

However, after Jessica continued to understand in depth, she immediately realized that this incident seemed to reveal some strangeness.

It is not surprising that no one saw how Jamie and others came out, because maybe they couldn't come out, but no one saw Jamie and others come here, that would obviously be abnormal.

Unless Jamie did not come to the store, all the clues Jessica got were wrong.

After discovering this, Jessica returned to the place where she found the news. After some argumentation and investigation, she found a clue that she didn't know whether she should be happy or distressed.

Jamie and others did come to the store because he also posted a selfie on Twitter at the time.

Then this extends another problem.

Where did Jamie Tri and the other three go, or... why no one has seen them? It was not when they left, but when they came here, someone saw them.

Jessica had long discovered several very good perspectives to observe the surrounding stores. She had talked to the owners of these houses that could see the entire view. Their answers were very consistent, but they had never seen these three people at all.

But Jessica obviously would not believe it, because the seat she is sitting now can almost see the situation in front of the streets outside and the surrounding shops at a glance, and there is no possibility of subconsciously ignoring Jamie and others.

And Jessica is not asking alone.

One person may be lying, and two people may be colluding, but Jessica asked almost everyone near the surrounding store, but the answer was very consistent. They had never seen three people enter the store that day.

It is impossible for everyone to lie together. Even if they hide a common secret, everyone will not let the secret be told together.

Things seemed to be a little troublesome, and Jessica felt that it might be beyond the scope of her ability to solve it.

Of course, there is another possibility and the most reasonable explanation, that is, Jamie and others have never been here.

But Jessica instinctively believed that this was not the case. There was something wrong with this store. The key to the problem lies in this store. This judgment did not come from her superpowers, but was simple, woman's intuition.

After half a second of careful consideration, Jessica was ready to find out in person with a pair of depressed dead fish eyes.
