Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!
Chapter 125 Formal Conversation
Then, the door was pushed open, and General He, who had changed into a Zhongshan suit, walked in.
He Qiuyu took a deep breath, couldn't help but take a deep look at Lin Yi, and made a note in her notebook: confirming that the target possessed extraordinary hearing and was suspected of having X-ray vision...
General He entered the house and waved for the two guards behind him to stand guard outside the door.
"Xu Dong, go check on that young girl from before and make sure she's been safely sent home." As soon as General He entered, he dismissed the middle-aged officer who had previously received Lin Yi. The officer named Xu Dong showed no displeasure, saluted, and left.
General He then turned his gaze to Lin Yi, a kind smile appearing on his face.
He was dressed in a well-fitting dark Zhongshan suit, his hair was neatly combed, and with that smile, he looked like a retired elder from next door who still insisted on exercising and was in good spirits.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I am He Shoucheng. Please have a seat."
Lin Yi smiled as well. He had stood up out of politeness when he pushed the door open. Seeing General He's attitude, he also toned down his previous casual and relaxed demeanor.
"General He, just call me Lin Yi."
"Alright, Lin Yi." General He nodded with a smile, his tone gentle. "I heard you flew directly back from Niuyue? Are you tired? Do you need to rest first?"
"Or, should I have someone prepare some food? The food at our base isn't as good as what you get from chefs outside, but it's still decent."
See, the way big guys talk is different. He knew General He had a lot of questions to ask, but the first thing he did was ask if he was tired and if he needed something to eat.
Of course, there are some deliberate communication techniques involved, but these words undoubtedly sound different and more comfortable.
Lin Yi shook his head at this: "I have a lot of things to say, and I'm not in the mood to eat if I don't talk about them."
Despite his previous nonchalant demeanor, the matter was always weighing on his mind.
General He's smile faded slightly, but his expression remained gentle. He was not lacking in patience, but the uncertainty of waiting and the potential threats always made him uneasy. Lin Yi's willingness to take the initiative to talk was the best outcome.
My first impression of Lin Yi was quite good. Although this young man possessed unimaginable strength, his eyes were clear, and his demeanor lacked the common arrogance that often comes with one's abilities.
He was dissuaded when he came with only two guards, because given Lin Yi's demonstrated abilities, if he were to suddenly make a move, no one would be able to protect General He at close range.
That flight speed indirectly demonstrated his physical strength; they didn't think Lin Yi would be unable to withstand even a conventional weapon.
General He was naturally aware of this, but Lin Yi also expressed his stance through He Qiuyu. The fact that he needed to communicate with someone of sufficient rank demonstrated his clear-headedness and well-defined purpose, which was one of the reasons for his involvement.
Considering all these factors, the current situation is the best option, and Lin Yi's attitude from the beginning to the present has reassured General He somewhat.
"Is that so…" General He leaned forward slightly, placing his hands clasped on the table as if listening attentively. "It seems that what you're about to say is indeed not simple. Shall we 'talk' about it?"
"Let's chat." Lin Yi nodded, then looked at He Qiuyu, wondering why General He had sent the middle-aged officer away but kept He Qiuyu behind.
"General He, I know your rank, but this Miss He Qiuyu..." His meaning was straightforward and clear: as a diplomat, He Qiuyu seemed unable to participate in this conversation.
Upon hearing this, He Qiuyu showed no embarrassment or dissatisfaction whatsoever; instead, she chuckled softly. She glanced at General He, who nodded slightly, then reached into her clothes and took out a dark blue ID card with a special number and markings on the cover, gently pushing it in front of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi opened the documents.
The titles, affiliated units, and authorization levels above made his eyes narrow slightly for a moment, before revealing a hint of understanding and doubt.
In short, He Qiuyu is ostensibly an elite member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but her true identity is one of the heads of a highly special, top-secret department. This department reports directly to the highest levels and was established to deal with unknown and mysterious phenomena, as well as supernatural entities and events, both domestically and internationally. In other words, that's her job.
The reason for the confusion was the mention of supernatural existence on this department's website. Did superpowered individuals really exist in this world? Lin Yi remembered that there was no official information about superpowered individuals before he transmigrated, but thinking about it, it made sense. If they really existed, they wouldn't have put it out in the open.
But when I came here, I scanned the entire globe more than once and found no one with extraordinary abilities.
Could it be because there was no deliberate screening?
"I wonder if I can participate in the rest of the conversation now?" He Qiuyu asked in an inquiring tone when she saw Lin Yi push the documents back.
Lin Yi smiled slightly. "Of course, but I noticed... supernatural existence? If I understand correctly, you mean there are superpowered individuals on Earth?" He glanced at the two of them and continued, "I scanned the entire globe with my senses and didn't find any superpowered individuals... but there are some supernatural phenomena, though..."
He Qiuyu's body tensed instantly, so much so that she couldn't control the force of her legs and dragged the chair.
A slight creaking sound came from the meeting room. He Qiuyu and General He exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes scrutiny, caution, and a hint of curiosity.
Lin Yi spoke several times, and this was the second time he had uttered something that, while not particularly revealing, was extremely significant: "Perception, scanning the globe?"
"Mr. Lin, your abilities... are indeed beyond imagination." He Qiuyu's usually calm smile turned slightly bitter, as if he was thinking of something.
"Supernatural beings exist not only in living things, but also in non-living things."
"Some people do possess certain abilities, such as briefly generating a magnetic field in their body that is strong enough to attract metal, or rapidly reducing a cup of hot water to its freezing point within a minute."
"These abilities are very subtle, and compared to you, they certainly can't be considered superpowers..."
Ah... Lin Yi nodded outwardly, but felt a little embarrassed inside. Well, having spent a few years in Marvel, he subconsciously defined superpowered individuals as at least like Captain America, Steve Rogers, when scanning them.
"Alright, I'll continue. What I'm about to say might overturn some of your perceptions, and might even sound like a fantasy." Lin Yi took a deep breath, his smile gradually fading, replaced by an extremely cautious attitude.
