Chapter 139: Jessica Jones
4/5 weekly chapter, enjoy.
“Jessica Jones, she has an ordinary past. She was missing for eight months a year ago. No one knows where she went or what she did during that period.”
“Now, she is running a private detective agency in Hell’s Kitchen, but business has been withering.”
Barbara’s hacking skills need not be questioned, the true identity of the mysterious woman was quickly dug up by her.
“From her previous experience, one can deduce that her superpowers are not innate. I found out that Jessica Jones was in a car accident three years ago and was exposed to radioactive chemicals…”
«Oh my God, why does this experience sound so familiar?»
Whenever radioactive chemicals were ntioned, Barbara couldn’t help but think of that terrible guy.
“In short, that car accident caused Jessica Jones to be in a coma for a long ti. I suspect that the source of her superhuman power is this car accident.”
Barbara speculated.
Skye was impressed by Barabara’s investigation.
In only a few minutes, the true identity of this person has been found through her blurry face. Only a select few of the Rising Tide organization that Skye knows can do this.
“Oracle, I think we can get along very well in the future.”
Skye smiled and said to Barbara.
“Well, now that we have found the location of the target, then we can set off.”
Skye left the carriage and sat in the driver’s seat.
The modified van started instantly and drove towards New York City.
The direction is obviously Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan.
“Skye, if Jessica had already made contact with that… S.H.I.E.L.D., then what should we do?”
Barbara still couldn’t utter “S.H.I.E.L.D.” smoothly.
What a strange na!
“Well… if that’s the case, then we have to persuade her first and reveal to her the true face of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Skye shrugged.
“S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are very good at brainwashing people. You can never imagine how evil they would use their manipulative skills. And at a ti like this, we should be quick with Jessica and run away.”
“S.H.I.E.L.D. will not let go of any opportunity to catch us.”
When she said these words, the expression on Skye’s face was both solemn and serious, making it clear that she was not joking.
“But–”
Soon, Skye changed the subject.
“The surveillance video recording of Jessica Jones was discovered only by us yesterday, and we deleted all the records after it was discovered, so S.H.I.E.L.D. is inherently a step behind us.”
“Although there were five or six witnesses at the ti, it would still take a lot of ti for them to get the news into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s hands.”
“If we hurry, we should be able to get in touch with Jessica Jones before S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Barbara is not as confident as Skye, how could such a huge international organization like S.H.I.E.L.D. react so slowly?
She even wondered whether this video might be a decoy deliberately released by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Wait!
Barbara suddenly realized that she had forgotten sothing.
Mathison is still lurking on the hill!
She and Skye drove away, what about Mathison?
Barbara glanced imperceptibly at Skye in the front seat and noticed that she was concentrating on driving.
So Barbara moved her lower body unnoticeably, letting most of her body be placed outside the blind spot of the rearview mirror.
This way she would not attract Skye’s attention to any small movents.
After that, Barbara placed her right hand quietly on her chest and pressed it in through her clothes.
That’s right, there is a bug installed by Mathison.
Because Barbara is going to et people from the Rising Tide organization, she must not wear headphones, so she can’t communicate with Mathison using conventional ans.
So Mathison took out this bug and added an interconnected vibration feedback system to it.
Barbara only needs to tap the bug lightly, and Mathison’s earphones can clearly hear the “buzz.“
And Mathison can also make the bug on Barbara’s chest vibrate slightly by tapping on the earphones.
In this way, the two can communicate through Morse code.
And the vibration feedback is almost silent, so there isn’t any worry that Skye would be able to notice Barbara’s anomaly.
“Mathison, Skye is now taking to the pseudonymous detective office in Hell’s Kitchen. You have no transportation. What is your next plan?”
A few hundred ters above Skye’s van, Mathison easily followed behind with a hang gliding wing.
Hearing a “buzz” sound from Barbara in the earphones, he instantly understood the aning of this Morse code.
So he also responded back the sa way.
There was a tingling sensation in Barbara’s chest.
“You don’t need to worry about now, I have already contacted the rental company, and they will send a car here soon.”
“What you need to worry about is yourself.”
“I just listened to your conversation. Jessica Jones is a powerful superhuman. You have to be careful in your next eting; don’t irritate that woman.”
“I will be there soon.”
Soon the ssage Mathison wanted to express was cleared, and the corners of Barbara’s mouth curled up unconsciously.
Although she didn’t hear the words from Mathison himself, his intention of worrying about her was obviously genuine.
This made Barbara’s heart burst with joy.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to get into a confrontation with soone for no reason, maybe everything will be over when you get there.”
“I hope so.”
Afterwards, the two stopped communicating.
Mathison followed Skye’s car all the way to Hell’s Kitchen.
Before entering Hell’s Kitchen, Mathison took out a bracelet and put it on.
After activating the bracelet, an invisible ultrasonic wave was emitted from it to wrap Mathison.
This is to avoid being found by “the red masked vigilante” in Hell’s Kitchen. It was a special item made by Mathison.
It didn’t take long for Skye’s car to stop in an alley.
On the opposite side of the alley is the pseudonymous detective office, a very shabby small building.
Skye walked with Barbara into this building.
“Oracle, you are on your first mission, so there are many things you do not understand yet. I advise you to watch, try not to speak, and carefully observe how I communicate with the superhumans.”
Skye turned her head to remind Barbara and then continued upstairs after seeing the latter nodding.
When the two of them disappeared in the corridor, Mathison quietly appeared from the depths of the alley.
His outfit at this ti was neither his original appearance nor Phantom Kid.
Rather, he was wearing dark red tights…
