Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"Stop talking nonsense, say it or don't."

Using this ridiculous question as a basis for trading?

"Look at you, in such a hurry!" The old man chuckled. "It's nothing that can't be told, I'll just tell you."

"That little girl and her brother, they've been here for about..." The old man suddenly stopped, looked down at his hands, and began to calculate.

"It's probably... well, it should be over a thousand years ago."

Lin Yi wanted to curse but stopped himself.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Stop spouting nonsense."

"Tsk, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you, why would an old man like me lie to you!"

"Maybe you'd be happy just fooling people?" Lin Yi sneered, completely disbelieving the old man.

"The old man never talks nonsense!"

"That's complete nonsense!"

Boom!

The old man tapped his cane on the ground.

"You young man, really... no one believes an old man when he tells the truth."

"Does this look like it's been here for a thousand years? Has it grown this long in a thousand years?"

Lin Yi gestured with her hand, "She's only a little over a meter tall, and you're saying she's over a thousand years old?"

"Hmm? Didn't the old man say that?" The old man feigned confusion.

"Those who come here will only have a one-year memory."

What do you mean?

"That means no matter how long you've been here, your memory will be reset after a year, so these people will only ever feel like they've been here for a year."

"Of course, your physical age will also be reset."

Lin Yi was skeptical: "Are you serious? You're not making this up?"

The old man cast a sincere glance my way: "Then take a look."

Indeed, the old man didn't seem to be lying.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, then turned to the little girl and asked, "Little girl, do you remember how long you've been here?"

The little girl frowned and lowered her head when she heard this.

It wasn't that she didn't intend to pay attention to Lin Yi, but rather that she started calculating things like the old man.

After calculating for a long time, he finally spoke in a clear voice: "It should be... 1003."

"Ha!" Lin Yi laughed immediately, then turned to look at the old man with disdain.

"Look, you're saying that his memory only covers one year, and that he can only go back one year. You old man are just talking nonsense. He remembers everything himself, it's 1003."

"One thousand... and three years?" Lin Yi's smile froze, and he turned around abruptly to look at the little girl.

Holy crap? Is this little girl talking nonsense too?

Does she not understand the concept of a year?

"How long have you been here?" Lin Yi asked, somewhat exasperated.

"One thousand and three years, three hundred and sixty-six thousand and ninety-five days," the little girl said confidently.

She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and added, "My name is Man K! Don't call me a child!"

"Okay, okay, MoK."

Lin Yi was stunned. Had it really been a thousand years? Was that right? A thousand years? That didn't seem like something a child would do.

...The name is strange too. What is MoK? It sounds like Monkey.

猴？

Hmm? Doesn't that sound a bit like Morgan?

"impossible!"

Before Lin Yi could figure it out, the old man next to him let out a thunderous scream, startling Lin Yi.

What are you doing?

"Impossible!" The old man stared at Mo K as if he had seen something earth-shattering.

"How could you possibly remember how long you've been here! Nobody can remember, nobody should remember!"

The old man pounded his cane on the ground, revealing his inner turmoil, which left Lin Yi completely bewildered.

Mo K seemed to have not expected the old man to react so strongly. He was somewhat at a loss, clutching the hem of his clothes and subconsciously looking around for a place to hide.

Tony frowned and subtly moved in front of her, blocking most of the old man's view.

Lin Yi frowned as he looked at the "mad" old man.

"Enough, old man, what's wrong with you? It's just that you remember how long you've been here. What's so shocking about that? Don't you remember too?"

The old man's breathing quickened, and he continued to tap the ground with his cane.

"This is clearly impossible, this shouldn't be happening..." the old man repeated, as if answering Lin Yi's words, or as if talking to himself.

Lin Yi looked at Tony speechlessly.

Tony didn't understand, shook his head, and indicated that he was also helpless.

Lin Yi glanced at MoK again.

This world is truly bizarre. If what Mok said is true, how have children's behaviors and personalities been preserved for over a thousand years?

If it's because the old man said he reviews memories and physical condition every year, then why doesn't MoK review his memories?

This is very strange. A thousand years of memories cannot possibly be the mindset of a child.

Forget it, let's not look into this anymore.

The old man didn't seem to have gone crazy enough, so Lin Yi didn't bother with him anymore.

Looking up at the huge clock face overhead, it was still spinning backwards.

Lin Yi took out the gem and asked Tony, "You said my memories told me to retrieve the watch face. Did it say how?"

Tony looked at the enormous watch face; it was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

He tilted his head and stared at it for a while before shaking his head and saying, "No, he only told me to take back the watch face, but he didn't give me the time or opportunity to ask in detail."

"but……"

Tony reached out towards the watch face, and a faint, pale green light flashed across his palm.

"The time display on this dial is very erratic and... bizarre."

"I can feel that time is trapped within it; this dial seems to capture countless timelines and bind them together."

"It's like..."

Tony was having trouble finding the right words.

"A complete mess?" Lin Yi interjected from the side.

"Yes, that's what I mean. It's very chaotic, and in some periods, the beginning and end are connected, forming an impossible cycle."

Want to recycle watch dials, but don't know how?

Lin Yi touched his chin, his body lifted off the ground, and he quickly floated to the center of the dial.

The hands reverse, and the bottom of the dial melts like a candle.

He took out the Dimensional Gem and examined it. The Dimensional Gem was still unusable, lying quietly in Lin Yi's palm like an ornament.

If this thing works, Lin Yi could try a large-area, continuous energy output, which might bring about new changes to the dial, but right now...

As he pondered, several small balls rapidly approached from below Lin Yi.

The small ball is likely a sensor or detector, emitting light from its center and constantly scanning the dial as it flies.

Lin Yi didn't need to look down to know that Tony had released it.

In a short while, the three-dimensional model of the dial was constructed.

As Lin Yi landed, he saw Tony stretch out his hand, with a small virtual watch face model projected onto his palm, rotating counterclockwise in sync with the watch face in the sky.

Jarvis's voice rang out at that moment.

[Unable to analyze the constituent materials, sir.]

[I cannot understand its operating mode, sir.]

[I cannot determine how the watch face can be recovered, sir.]

Tony clicked his tongue: "Isn't there any useful information?"

"Of course, sir. The tests show it's a huge, counter-clockwise rotating dial, sir."

Tony: "..."

Lin Yi almost burst out laughing. This Jarvis seemed to be more humorous than any previous version or timeline.
