Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

Peter's eyes widened in disbelief: "What? Is this really your dream? How did you do that?"

Lin Nan shrugged: "I don't know how I did it either, it seems to be some kind of talent."

Peter stared blankly at the swirling vortex and thick red fog filling the sky.

“Lin, what can we do here?” Peter asked.

"We can do many things, such as secret meetings, and no one can find us."

"Information can be exchanged, and no one can eavesdrop."

"This is a small, independent space that belongs to us alone."

Lin Nan's voice excited Peter again. He gestured wildly and said, "Shadow, right, Lin? You really are building your own power!"

Lin Nan was stunned. Was this going to drag on forever? He said irritably, "Instead of calling me Shadow, let's call me Code. Let's use numbers as our codenames. I'll be Agent Zero, and you'll be Agent One."

What started as a casual remark turned into an agitation for Peter: "So who's Agent Number Two? Is it Harry? Or Uncle Norman, or Attorney Matt?"

Seeing Peter's excited expression, Lin Nan's speechlessness disappeared, and she became serious.

For the first time, he began to seriously consider the feasibility of this topic.

Yes, the world is so dangerous, why can't we pool our strength and act as a whole?

Lin Nan never expected that a casual remark she made to Harry Peter back then could actually become a reality.

This lucid dream is a place that is absolutely impossible to track. As for those higher-dimensional beings, apart from feeling a glimpse of their gaze when they first acquired the ability, they have not appeared again for a long time.

We have the venue, but where are the personnel?

Peter Parker definitely qualifies, and Green Goblin could also be considered, but only if his Green Goblin persona is eliminated.

Attorney Matt is one of them, as for Harry…

He should have been injected with some serum, but not completely. Once a method to erase the Green Goblin personality is found, he can be injected with the full serum and then the second personality can be erased.

Including myself, that makes five people. The rest of the candidates...

Iron Man is an option, but Tony is proud and unruly, which is an unstable factor. Let's find an opportunity to test his attitude towards "The Knight" first.

Suddenly, Peter's call interrupted Lin Nan's thoughts: "Lin, are you alright?"

Lin Nan snapped out of her reverie and smiled, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about what you mentioned, about building the cipher."

“Really! That’s great! You don’t know, I was prepared for this a long time ago. I even secretly texted Harry, and he told me not to rush you. I didn’t expect this day to come so soon!” Peter rattled off one sentence after another.

Lin Nan said with a wry smile, "Right now, my abilities are insufficient; I can only bring one person in."

Peter comforted her, "It's okay, Lin. You've improved so quickly. Last time I came in, I only lasted a few seconds before you kicked me out."

Lin Nan nodded in agreement: "Alright Peter, you should go now. See you tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Peter's figure disappeared from the red mist, and Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

He could sense how important it was to improve the synchronization rate and compatibility, as it not only allowed him to mobilize more of the Dream Capsule's power but also enabled him to do more things.

Perhaps when everything reaches 100%, some changes will occur.

Improving synchronization requires a combination of dream training and actual combat. Dream training improves quickly but superficially, while actual combat is more solid. Each has its own strengths.

Where should we go next to cause trouble?

Chapter 59 The Old Guy

The laboratory on the top floor of Stark Tower is no longer the elegant and glamorous place it once was.

The wall was smashed open, the floor was a mess, and all sorts of mechanical parts were scattered on the ground.

Tony, with his hair a mess and his eyes bloodshot, looked at the scene before him with a complicated expression.

At the center of the magnetic field, a triangular crystal the size of a fingernail floats, yet it seems to contain the vast energy of a star.

Success! The new element has been successfully synthesized.

The laboratory was silent, save for the low rumble of the machinery. Tony stared blankly at the crystal, then at the 100% stability reading on the screen.

"Jarvis, record all the data. We really succeeded," Tony said softly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Stark, the new element has been successfully synthesized. Its energy characteristics match the theoretical model by over 99%..."

Tony didn't hear what was said after that. In that instant of success, exhaustion overwhelmed his consciousness like a tsunami.

When he regained consciousness, the first thing he felt was relief.

Tony slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a bed in the rest area of ​​the laboratory.

He touched his chest blankly, the familiar metallic feel still there.

He sat up and looked down. The new core of the triangular pattern was embedded in the position of his sternum, soft yet stable.

Jarvis's voice rang out: "Good afternoon, sir. The new reactor core is operating stably, with no abnormalities or toxic reactions. Congratulations!"

Tony forced himself to sit up and moved his slightly numb arm.

He took a deep breath. Although the smell of engine oil and welding still lingered in the air, the feeling of surviving the ordeal made him feel incredibly refreshed.

He survived, not only because of the inheritance left to him by his father Howard, but also because of the mysterious knight who reached out to help him in the last moments of his life.

Who exactly is he? Could he really be an old guy from the same era as my father who is still alive today?

Countless questions flooded his mind again. The knight not only possessed the technology of a completely new route, but also knew everything his father had left behind.

Tony's emotions were somewhat complicated, but he also knew that this was not the last time he would cross paths with the Cavaliers.

There will likely be more interactions in the future.

Tony stood up, his eyes gleaming: "Jarvis, don't give up on that theoretical model we created based on the signal from the knight. Maybe in the future, we can actually synthesize even stronger elements."

"Also, help me schedule an appointment with Nick Fury. I have something to discuss with him."

"Okay, sir."

After doing all that, Tony Stark called Pepper Potts again to tell her the exciting news.

He came back to life!

At the same time, Lin Nan suddenly sat up in bed, because the numbers on his wrist began to jump wildly: [Causality Value: +35, +50, +350, +200, +200…]

Current causality value: 864/1000

How could there be such a sudden increase in causality? Has Tony Stark already synthesized the new element?

Also, what's the reason for those two numbers 35 and 50? Is it because Parker and Gwen were together a long time beforehand, and it was under his influence?

Or is it because the idea of ​​creating a cipher was proposed?

In any case, this time it was a great success, and maybe it won't be long before I can draw another dream capsule.

Lin Nan happily lay down again, resting her head against the headboard.

My phone vibrated. I picked it up and saw a message from Peter: "Lin, it seems like Harry will be free soon. We can get together. Also, some men in black suits asked me about the Knights today, and they also asked me some questions about you."

Upon seeing this message, Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat.

What caused S.H.I.E.L.D. to suspect his identity again?

Coulson wasn't completely fooled; he just couldn't equate Lin Nan with the Knight for the time being.

However, it has been largely confirmed that the Knights and Lin Nan have an inseparable connection in their social circles.

Lin Nan replied to Peter: "If Harry comes out, we can definitely get together. Those men in black are from S.H.I.E.L.D., what did you say?"

The message came back quickly: "I said I didn't know, and then we talked about some trivial things between you and me."

“Very good, remember to enjoy life, Peter.”

Lin Nan put down his phone. The threat posed by S.H.I.E.L.D. to him had been greatly reduced. Since that was the case, he might as well make the best of it and let things take their course.

Lin Nan closed his eyes and entered the lucid dream space. This time, he didn't practice anything, but instead tried to control the mist with his consciousness to see if he could turn it into a table runner or a bench.

Otherwise, if there are more people in the future, there can't be no place to sit. That wouldn't be a code, but a joke.

Tables, chairs, and benches are very simple. In his past training, he had tried to condense the dense fog into various shapes to strike. With this experience, condensing some tables, chairs, and benches was naturally a piece of cake.

The code-breaking agents will be tentatively numbered eight; the number cannot be too large.

Too many people are hard to hide, and each person must be chosen with utmost care, possessing both sufficient power and trustworthiness.

If there are too few, the combined power will not be enough, so eight is the most suitable number.

We can't let it be like that code, where everyone is a traitor. We need to eliminate this kind of thing from the root.

As for his own identity, he will temporarily lead the organization as a "knight".

Of course, every superhero in this world is very unique, and this organization was not created for command and control.

Instead, it's a loose alliance similar to the Avengers, where members exchange information and fight side-by-side when necessary to defend against external enemies.

After thinking for a while, Lin Nan waved his hand to clear away the tables and chairs and began to observe the dreams of the people around him.

Although from the outside, only fragments of the dream can be seen, this is enough for the current stage.

Lin Nan searched for a long time among the dense vortexes before finally finding Tony Stark's dream vortex.

Inside that vortex, Tony, clad in armor, lay on a sports car eating a hamburger.

Before long, an armored man descended from the sky—it was the knight!

Hmm? Is there something else I need to do?

Then Tony asked, "What did that old guy leave you?"

The Cavaliers said, "You've left me with a lot, but the most important thing is this: Howard is proud of you!"

"Pride? I'm far superior to him, but he certainly has a far-sighted vision. Knight, how did you and my father meet?"

At this moment, the dream faded, probably because Tony woke up.

Lin Nan was speechless for a long time. Tony mistook the "Knight" for his father's friend? What kind of imagination is that!
