Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Not long after this idea came to him, Lin Yi suddenly felt something was wrong.

Huh? Could this old guy know something and is trying to fool me?

What good does this do him?

Once this thought took hold, Lin Yi felt that familiar feeling of old friendship quickly fade away.

His gaze remained unchanged, but he was already on high alert.

Could we analyze it this way? The manager knows about the existence of the dimensional gem, but since the dimensional gem is with him, the manager doesn't have enough confidence to deal with him. Therefore, he wants Lin Yi to believe that it is his power and use it without restraint, and then he will have to pay it back at some point in the future.

Suppressing that thought for the moment, Lin Yi followed up on the question, asking, "So, is there any way to fuse them?"

How should the manager answer this question? Lin Yi pondered in his mind.

The manager's lips curled up slightly, which Lin Yi couldn't see, but he could strangely sense it.

"I have a guess that, based on your personality and behavior patterns, the trigger condition is probably only reached under extremely dangerous circumstances."

"In other words, facing sufficient danger, or engaging in open combat."

"This spatial ruin is an opportunity. Perhaps you should come with me to the ninth floor. The monsters there might help you recall those memories."

The answer was standard and similar to one of the possibilities Lin Yi had guessed.

The idea that one wants to use dimensional gems without restraint is perfectly reasonable.

"What kind of monsters are on the ninth floor? How strong are they?" Lin Yi asked again.

As for the monsters on the ninth floor, it's obvious they must be incredibly powerful.

The administrator recalled for a moment and said, "Historically, the ninth level has appeared only a handful of times, but the strongest monsters on the ninth level are all of the same species."

"It is a pure black humanoid creature that can change its abilities depending on the challenger, and in some cases it may even transform into another version of you."

"This is the worst-case scenario. He will have all your skills and strength, but at the same time retain his own abilities. It's like challenging another version of yourself who has more skills and is more powerful, so it's extremely tricky."

"You may not remember, but we gave it a name back then, Yingou, also known as Yingzhao Renou."

Hey~

The moment the words "reflecting doll" appeared, Lin Yi felt as if a clear, ringing sound, like the tinkling of a wind chime, enveloped him.

Lin Yi was a little stunned, because a strange feeling rose in his heart.

As a child, it seemed as if a dam had burst, and many images and information flooded into Lin Yi's mind like a stream.

The information felt incredibly familiar, as if it had always belonged to me.

Lin Yi's consciousness was enveloped by the stream.

Standing in the stream, he saw—another version of himself.

Standing in the void, he wore a golden energy battle suit, his face cold and stern as he faced off against a huge black statue.

The statue was pure black, like a shadow, but its shape was exactly the same as the one in front of it.

In his hand, he held a pure black battle axe, an unnamed battle axe from the Kryptonian race.

Is that really... myself?

Just by looking at the images, Lin Yi felt an overwhelming sense of oppression. He hadn't experienced that suffocating feeling in a long time, and he even subconsciously wanted to use the dimensional gem to resist the impact.

Then he saw himself standing on a huge crevice.

No, that's not a gap; it's more like two transparent spatial boundaries colliding and tearing each other apart.

The surrounding area was an endless expanse of pale white, with nothing at all. Light came from all directions, and Lin Yi stood there without even casting a shadow.

That's dimensional gaps colliding!

No one explained it to Lin Yi, but the message just appeared on its own.

The scene shifted again, and Lin Yi's gaze seemed to have boarded a time machine. The scene kept rewinding, and various substances gradually emerged in the space that had been colliding. Buildings took shape, and fragmented continents began to solidify from their broken state.

Finally, he stood atop countless fragmented continents, the boundless sky collapsing, and thousands of monsters falling from the sky like drowning monsters.

A manager appeared beside Lin Yi.

Judging from this situation, the two seem to be joining forces to face the greatest disaster in the dimensional gap world.

Did the previous collision destroy the dimensional gap world? Did they fail?

No, even though it's so familiar, why does it feel like I'm watching a movie? Is this how memory recovery works? Lin Yi didn't know.

After these two images flashed by, the next images began to flash faster.

Images of the metal-masked man and the rune-covered lizardman flashed by all at once, clearly existing in Lin Yi's previous memories.

Talk to cloaked Morgan and place the orange gems in various locations.

When the image of an out-of-control child unleashing destruction flashed before his eyes, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.

Long black hair, a young child, and that face that looked a little younger than it does now... Luger?

Was that a scene from when Eli lost control as a child? Was I present at that time?

Could it be that the loss of control was related to himself?

Images flashed by, emerging from the stream like watching a movie.

However, these memories are fragmented, and whether they are images or information, they have almost no continuity. It's like selecting fragments from thousands of memories.

The stream quickly disappeared, and Lin Yi saw the last scene.

He saw himself from his memories sitting opposite the manager in a bamboo grove.

The scene was strikingly similar to the question-and-answer session he had just had with the manager.

In my memory, the manager of that time period did not wear a mask. From his appearance, he was a very ordinary young man with a gentle smile. When he smiled, you couldn't see his eyes. He was so ordinary that he would disappear into a crowd.

He seemed to be talking to his past self.

Although the manager was smiling, Lin Yi sensed that something was off.

His smile was stiff, as if he had said something terrible and was trying his best to restrain himself.

Then, the scene freezes; the bamboo forest swaying in the wind stops, and the manager is also frozen in place.

The image of myself sitting with my back to the bamboo chair suddenly stood up.

He turned around, his gaze precisely locking onto Lin Yi.

Holy crap, what's going on? This sudden eye contact startled Lin Yi so much that he shuddered.

Standing opposite yourself, so close to yourself, gives you a strange feeling, unlike looking in a mirror.

Lin Yi tentatively waved in front of himself.

In my memory, I didn't make any movement; my gaze remained fixed on you.

He spoke.

"Beware of the managers."
