Chapter 554 MIB (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
Under Ryan's gaze, the guy who smashed the glass and rushed into the subway car quickly rolled on the spot and stood up. After shaking off the glass on his body, he took out a certificate and walked forward and said, "Hello everyone! I am a member of the subway bureau. Now please go to the front car. There is a foreign object invading the circuit system."

"Foreign body invasion?" Ryan and Hermione looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. This was a high-speed subway train. How could a normal person catch up with the subway train from behind and then smash the glass and rush in?

For safety reasons, Ryan and Hermione simultaneously drew their wands and pointed them at the place where the young black man had just rushed in. However, the other passengers on the train seemed very calm and were still doing their own things.

"Hey, you guys, there's an invasion of foreign objects!" The young black guy shouted loudly, looking a little exasperated. Only then did Ryan realize that this guy looked like Will Smith.

"I think I've seen this movie before. Next--" Ryan was thinking when a sound of twisting metal rang out. Then the tail of the entire subway train disappeared, and a big mouth full of teeth appeared in everyone's sight. In an instant, the whole carriage was in chaos, and everyone screamed and ran to the front carriage.

"You know you're going to run away, right? Don't run, sit down. It's just a 600-foot-long bug." The black guy muttered, and suddenly he saw Ryan and Hermione standing there. "Hey, you two, this is not the time to cosplay, you should--" He stopped here and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

The two young men whom he thought were playing cosplay simultaneously raised the small wooden sticks in their hands and shouted at the big bug behind them: "stupefy." In an instant, two red lights flew out from the wooden sticks and hit the big bug behind it. After being hit by the two beams of light, the big bug screamed, then slowly closed its eyes and stopped chasing the subway train.

"Oh my God!" The black guy looked like his eyes were about to pop out of his head. "Wait, what planet are you from? I remember that in New York, if you want to possess powerful lethal weapons, you must register, and I never remember you two being in New York."

"What planet?" Hermione was surprised by the question and said seriously, "We are pure human beings! And we are British."

"I don't remember any British people being able to knock out a bug that big with a small wooden stick emitting red light." The black guy said. "I know that many aliens like Earth's culture after coming to Earth and are even obsessed with it, but not many are as obsessed as you are."

Maybe because of the effect of the spell, the big bug didn't catch up again. The train went forward for a while and then slowly stopped. Looking at the sign, Ryan found that they had arrived at the subway station of Block 81. The black guy stopped talking and said to Ryan and the others, "Ah, I have something to deal with first. You guys go to the subway entrance and wait for me." After that, he walked to the front of the car where other people were standing.

"What did he just say?" After the black man left, Hermione asked curiously. "Aliens, have we come to a sci-fi world?"

"It shouldn't be, otherwise there wouldn't be such an old subway still in operation." Ryan said, "Of course this world should be different from our world. There can't be such big bugs in the subway in the normal world. But I don't know the specific situation."

When they were going out, the two men passed by the door of the front carriage and happened to see the black man holding a silver stick in his hand and saying something to the people in the carriage. Ryan vaguely heard some words like "exercise"?

"I feel like this scene is a little familiar." Ryan thought. "It seems to be a story from a science fiction comedy, probably called Men in Black? But which episode is this the beginning of?"

While he was thinking, the black man came over and took out an oval-shaped object like a mobile phone and pointed it at them. Hermione was a little nervous and seemed to raise her hand to attack him, but Ryan held her back. Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't be nervous, this should be a camera phone with an Internet connection. He may need to authenticate us."

As expected, after the cell phone-like device beeped twice, the black man said to Ryan and the others, "It's obvious that you don't have permission from the MIB to live on Earth. Of course, I can understand the problems you alien refugees are facing. It's very likely that you don't dare to contact us for safety reasons. But I can tell you that the Earth is a safe neutral zone. You don't need to hide your identity. So I hope you can go to the MIB headquarters now to apply for a visa to live on Earth." "Well, sir, you may have made a mistake." Ryan looked at the man in front of him helplessly. After confirming which world this was, Ryan immediately determined that the black man in front of him was Agent J, the protagonist of the Men in Black movie. "We are indeed pure Earthlings, but we are wizards and come from another world."

"Wizard?" After hearing this, Agent J looked at the wands held in Ryan's hands and said, "I can understand that you may like Earth's culture very much, and you may even think that you are the wizards in the Harry Potter book. But I need to tell you that as aliens you must register with the MIB, otherwise-"

Before he finished speaking, Ryan used his magic wand to point at the multi-function communicator in his hand. Then, in his surprised eyes, the multi-function communicator turned into a little hamster that kept moving its cheeks.

"This is simply--" Agent J looked at the hamster in his hand in amazement. After a few minutes, he was sure that he was not hypnotized or saw a holographic projection. The young Asian man in front of him was really a wizard as he said. "I think we can go out and find a place to eat and talk."

More than half an hour later, in a restaurant, Agent J listened to Ryan's description of his identity and the reason for coming here (traveling to different worlds to exchange technology and materials). After the description, he sat there stunned for a while before regaining his composure. Then he said to Ryan and the others: "Well, although you are not aliens and should have no ill will towards us. But I suggest that you still come to our MIB headquarters to register, so that it will be much more convenient for you to come next time."

"Where are you?" Ryan asked.

"An organization that theoretically does not exist in various occasions. It was originally established by the Federation, but now it should have forgotten us. This organization is responsible for receiving refugees from other planets." At this point, Agent J glanced at Ryan and the others, thinking of the shock he felt when he first learned about Ryan and the others, especially Hermione's name. "Maybe, maybe there will be guests like you from other worlds in the future."

"That sounds great. We can think of you as Earth's customs!" Ryan said after a smile. "So when is the best time for us to register?"

"Just for these two days. I think you can't find a place to stay for the time being, so I can provide you with a place to stay. Once I contact the headquarters and have them prepare the registration form for people from the other world, I will personally accompany you there." Agent J said after thinking for a while.

"Is this too much trouble for you?" Ryan was a little embarrassed.

"No, of course not." Agent J shook his head. "It's my job, not to mention that I get several days of paid vacation for hosting travelers I've never seen before."

After finishing the last bit of food on the plate, Ryan and his friends took a car to an apartment in New York. As soon as he opened the door, Ryan found that the apartment was tidy and all daily necessities were available.

"This is a safe house. You can stay here for the next two days. Just don't leave this place more than two blocks away. There's food in the refrigerator, and this." He took out two silver Bluetooth headsets. "You'd better take these with you. I'll contact you when everything is ready."

"Okay, thank you, we won't be too far from here." Ryan took the two communicators and said goodbye to Agent J, which also marked the beginning of his life in New York in 2002.
