"Is that so... But you are not..."
"I am quite special. I was blind in an accident when I was a child, but the amazing thing is that I didn't lose my eyesight. Instead, I can see the surrounding environment just like before, but the only difference is that there is no color."
"Oh! That's better than not being able to see. This can be considered a blessing in disguise," Ling Zhan thought Matt was joking. Although it was cruel, how could a blind person see anything?
"I guess so," Matt smiled, as if agreeing with Ling Zhan's words.
"Any other details?"
"Hmm... That's true. The way they disappear is very strange. How should I put it... The whole person disappears, but the process is very painful. I can clearly feel it."
As Ling Zhan listened to Matt's words, he felt more and more that the blind lawyer in front of him was not an ordinary person.
Suddenly disappeared. As of now, the Marvel movie world has not yet reached the point where those strange monsters appear.
Of course, this Spider-Man incident is very special, because it seems to be the content of the 94 version of Spider-Man.
Of course, it is unlikely that one can directly infer which version of Peter Parker is based on a Lizard.
Wait! This is not just the ordinary Marvel movie world!
Ling Zhan's mood suddenly became confused.
"Hey Hey hey......"
Matt waved his hand in front of Ling Zhan.
"Oh, Mr. Matt, thank you for the information, I have to go now!"
"That's good. I'm glad to be able to help you."
"Don't worry, Mr. Matt, I will solve this case!"
"I believe you!"
After Matt sent Ling Zhan away, he put away his smile.
He looked at the sky and it was still early, so he went into the house and planned to make himself a hearty lunch.
"Den."
Matt accidentally bumped into a vase and it fell to the ground.
Just when the vase was about to break into pieces, Matt caught it steadily.
"It was just a close call. I'd better be more careful next time."
Matt put the vase back in place and went back to his work.

"Ling Zhan, what do you say now?"
"It's almost certain, Zaruba. It's definitely Hora's trick."
"I mean the human."
"Oh! That guy is definitely not an ordinary person. I suspect that he had a strange encounter. There is no shortage of such people in this world. Remember that time at New York University?"
"I know, you're talking about the guy you called Spider-Man."
"I call their condition a genetic mutation."
"I see. This is what you always say: 'Rich people rely on equipment, poor people rely on mutations, right?'"
"Yes."
"Forget it. This has nothing to do with us. Since we are sure that Hola was responsible for this disappearance, we should find Hola as soon as possible to prevent it from causing trouble in the world!"
"Well, I already have a clue. Let's go to the missing places first."
......
Ling Zhan arrived at the place where he disappeared on November 11rd.
The person who died here that day was an 18-year-old woman.
Ling Zhan observed the surrounding environment. It was indeed a good place to kill people, and the disappearance of one person was nothing in "Hell's Kitchen".
This place is dark and dirty. It is a place that no one wants to come to in the morning and it doesn't attract much attention. It is even more so at night.
"Ling Zhan, there is a very faint smell, the kind that is about to dissipate. If I hadn't smelled it hard, I would have almost overlooked it."
"Are there any other clues?"
"It's very difficult. It's been many days since the incident. It's very difficult to smell that faint scent."
"Well, this is it?"
Ling Zhan saw an object and went forward to pick it up.
Ling Zhan looked at it carefully and found that it was a rectangular label supported by metal with the number 3 engraved on it.
"This thing must be useful. Let's go to the next place."
After Ling Zhan left the area, the police set up a cordon, but it was useless. Once the people in "Hell's Kitchen" felt that something was in the way, they would destroy it.
.........
The place where he disappeared on November 11th.
Ling Zhan searched carefully and found a label at the same place. It had the same shape and material, and had the number 4 engraved on it.
........
The place where he disappeared on November 11th.
The label is engraved with 5.
.......
Location of disappearance on November 11th.
The label is engraved with 8.
.......
Location of disappearance on November 11th.
The label is engraved with 9.
........
Ling Zhan returned home. He took out the labels and arranged them on the table one by one. He wondered if these labels had any special meaning.
These things were dropped at the places where the victims disappeared. Could it be that the Hora had some special eating habits?
In fact, as long as they are human, Hora will accept them all, after all, they eat souls.
But the amazing thing is that different types of Hora have different food objects and choices, just like humans, different people and different regions have different eating habits.
"For Hora, the Yin-I is the most attractive to them. The reason why they choose humans is precisely because humans have endless desires. Hora chooses this earth and humans. So do you think it is possible that Hora wants to taste a more delicious Yin-I?"
"Yes, it is possible. Through fear, one can increase the 'yin self' of others, and the speed is very fast. It is more effective than other methods!"
"But what do these labels mean?"
"What if these tags are death notices? Or are they a form of entertainment for Hora?"
"Have fun while hunting? It's not impossible!"
Zaruba thought about it and remembered that he seemed to have encountered this type of Hora during the endless years of following the Golden Knight.
“3、4、5、8、9，11月的3、4、5、8、9号，有这么巧吗？18、20、22、24、26岁，遇害日与标签数字一样，遇害者年岁皆是偶数，这些到底有什么联系？”
Ling Zhan must find the connection, so he decides to investigate the victim's identity information because the information released by the police is not complete.
"Looks like I have to ask those guys for help. I don't want to trouble them, but it will be much faster if they do it. It really proves what I've been saying before, 'The more you don't want to encounter something, the more it will come'."

"Stop following me."
A man in his 20s was running in an alley on West 34th Street, sweating profusely. He was just a low-level white-collar worker who left his hometown and came to Manhattan, New York to find a job.
Unfortunately, reality hit him hard, and now he is just an ordinary person exploited by capital. For this reason, he can only come to "Hell's Kitchen" because the rent here is cheap, but he soon finds that this ghost place is even more dangerous.
He succumbed to reality and learned to accept and compromise, so he was able to survive in this hellhole.
However, recently he always felt uneasy and felt that someone was following him.
As time went on, these feelings became more frequent.
Until the last few days, a strange man, very young.
But that appearance scared him, and the man was always with him. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he asked familiar people around him if they had seen a strange man, but everyone said no. He talked so much that people thought he was a lunatic.
Just like that, over the past few days, the man's spirit was very depressed. The young man not only followed him, but also held a small knife in his hand and looked at him with a playful smile.
The man once thought that this was just an illusion caused by his being too tired, but after a few days, he had no choice but to accept this reality.
No matter where he was, the young man would always keep a certain distance from him and look at him grimly.
Now, he was almost collapsed and was running away, but no matter how he ran, the young man could always be behind him, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"I can't stand it anymore, go to hell!"
The man picked up a stick and hit the young man.
The iron rod whizzed past, but in front of the man, there was nothing.
But the man turned around and found the young man standing behind him unharmed.
"Ah ah ah ah ah......"
The man went crazy. He screamed and fell to the ground, his eyes full of fear.
“Harvest time!”
The young man licked his purple lips and walked towards the man.
