Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Peter realized his rashness the moment he spoke, immediately covered his mouth, and gave the Ancient One an apologetic look.

"I did not mean that……"

Her face turned bright red; she had spoken her true feelings and couldn't find an excuse for a while.

Gu Yi wasn't angry.

"It's alright, you're Peter Parker, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am. You know me?"

"Of course," the Ancient One said gently. "You are a kind and upright child."

Aside from being a bit blunt and lacking in tact.

"I know what you want to ask, but I can't tell you what I saw, or even whether I saw it at all." Gu Yi's words were once again the old riddle master's move.

"GOOD, does the sorcerer have a solution? Surely you can't say that either?" Lin Yi chimed in. He didn't expect the Ancient One to be so open and honest.

One is her, and the other is Strange, the old riddle master of Marvel.

Of course, it's not entirely incomprehensible; the more you say, the more mistakes you make, and the more you talk, the greater the future possibilities and uncontrollability become.

The behavior wasn't wrong, but I just felt uncomfortable.

"You'll have to find the solution yourselves; I can only point you in the right direction."

"Before that, Lin Yi, I need you to go somewhere."

Lin Yi remained expressionless and asked directly, "Where?"

Great, it felt like I expected. I knew there was still something for me to do.

"It was a library containing countless forgotten or forbidden pieces of knowledge, all kinds of magic, and even—the rules governing the universe."

"That place... never mind, I can't say much, you'll know when you get there." The Ancient One hesitated, glancing at Strange.

Sure enough, Strange became interested when he heard that there was such a library.

"Master, I'll go with you."

Gu Yi shook her head: "No, you can't go."

Strange paused, his hand still holding his teacup. "Master, why is that?"

The Ancient One explained, "There exists another side of you, a possible future, and I can trust the present you. But the future is not static, and you don't have time to face more challenges."

"So for the sake of the future and your safety, you can't go, at least not now."

"Believe me, you can't afford the consequences..." That meaningful look silenced Strange once again.

He simply said "oh" and gave up without hesitation. After a little thought, he could roughly grasp the seriousness of the situation. Although he didn't know the specific details, he had seen the consequences of unforeseen circumstances more than once. If he wasn't going, he wasn't going.

Lin Yi clicked his tongue. "You're not talking about Cagliostro's Lost Library, are you?"

Of all the places described, this is the only one that matches Lin Yi's impression.

That library is where Doctor Strange was born.

In order to reverse the absolute timeline and rescue his girlfriend Christine, Strange from another timeline travels to Cagliostro's lost library.

Strange, who was learning forbidden magic there, became increasingly entangled, eventually dragging the entire universe down with him.

Gu Yi gave Lin Yi a deep look, her tone slightly surprised yet also carrying a hint of matter-of-fact: "You really did know..."

"No, I don't know." Lin Yi chuckled, revealing a familiar, meaningful smile.

Come on, riddle master! Guess whether I know the answer or not!

In reality, Lin Yi knew nothing. The settings he saw before his transmigration were just that—settings. Recent events had already proven to Lin Yi that while the general direction of many things might be highly consistent with the initial settings, the specific developments were vastly different.

As for that library, who knows what's inside? The lore only mentions that Doctor Strange studied forbidden magic there. The vast amount of knowledge, even the rules of the universe, that the Ancient One spoke of is never mentioned.

"No, you do know some things, but perhaps not all of them," Gu Yi said confidently. "In that case, I feel even more at ease sending you there."

Well, you're not even going to ask yourself if you're willing, are you?

To be honest, I was a little curious about what was recorded in that library and all the different kinds of magic.

But I just don't really want to go along with the riddle teller's attitude.

However, Gu's next sentence made Lin Yi swallow back the words he wanted to say.

"To solve this, you need to go to another universe to find a solution."

"And that library contains the coordinates of that universe. Perhaps... there's a solution there too."

"I need you to go there and find these coordinates."

Lin Yi couldn't refuse.

"Okay, what's the book's title? I'll go check it out."

"I don't know," Gu Yiyi said, shrugging.

"Don't know? How do we find it?" Lin Yi scratched his head in confusion, then a terrible idea came to mind.

"No, you don't expect me to flip through each book one by one, do you? Haha, no way, there are so many books there..."

The laughter subsided as they talked, because the Ancient One nodded very formally.

"You're kidding, right..."

I flipped through the entire library, book by book. If I was lucky, I found the first one; if I wasn't...

"You should be able to read very quickly." Gu Yi smiled, affirming Lin Yi's abilities.

Lin Yi hissed; his superhuman physique made his reading speed unbelievably fast. If he were on Earth, he could read an entire library in minutes. But the Lost Library's collection... let's just hope it's not too outrageous.

"Wait me a moment."

Seemingly sensing Lin Yi's thoughts, Gu Yi got up and went to the back room. He returned a moment later with a coin in his hand.

"With this, I've cast a supplementary mental acceleration spell on it. Combined with the Time Stone's subtle effect on localized time freezes, it can help you quickly browse and memorize a vast amount of knowledge."

As she spoke, Gu Yi pushed the Time Stone toward Lin Yi.

"How do I use this?" Lin Yi took it. A faint golden magic circle was wrapped around the coin, almost imperceptible.

"Squeeze it hard; once you reach a certain pressure, it will automatically trigger, continuously fetching books for you and automatically flipping through them to save time..."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

Oh? That's a nice feature. But I still can't be happy. Even the Time Stone has been used for reading; Lin Yi has given up hope on the library's collection.

"Alright, when do we leave? Now?" Lin Yi agreed, planning to go and come back as soon as possible.

Ancient One shook her head: "We'll set off in half an hour. The library's location is very special and not suitable for ordinary teleportation magic."

……

Time flew by, and half an hour later, in the small house, Lin Yi stood in the center of the magic circle, while Gu Yi stood outside the magic circle.

The room had only one small window, and the lack of light made the room feel quiet and cold.

At this moment, the Ancient One's expression was no longer relaxed, but very solemn, with sharp eyes.

Lin Yi knew that she had something to say.

"Lin Yi, I must remind you, anything you see in that library about the Dark Dimension, forbidden magic, or anything involving the rules of the universe—just keep it in your memory. Unless absolutely necessary, never try to use it in reality!"

Lin Yi listened quietly and thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

As Gu Yi made him flip through the books one by one, Lin Yi wondered about Gu Yi's purpose in doing so.

If the goal is simply to find coordinates, that's a bit of a stretch; you could just look for books that might be related to the subject.

However, the Ancient One explicitly asked him to look through the books one by one, which was obviously very abnormal.

"Master, did you see my future, or rather... the future of our universe?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.

Just when he thought the Ancient One would continue to be the riddle teller and give the previous answer, the Ancient One fell silent.
