Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

"Lin, I'm out. Let's get together."

Then another location was sent, in an office building in Midtown Manhattan.

Before he could reply, Peter called. He pressed the answer button, and Peter's excited voice came from the other end.

"Lin, have you received news from Harry? He's free now."

"I received it and plan to check the location he sent."

"I am coming too!"

"it is good!"

Lin Nan changed into clean clothes, went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed to her destination.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw that familiar figure.

Harry Osborne stood in front of an office building, gazing up at the shimmering reflection of the glass curtain wall, a half-finished cup of coffee in his hand.

He looked thinner, his once round face had become sharper, his hair was cut short, and he was wearing a well-tailored black coat. He looked much more composed than before.

It must be said that the Osborn family's genes are very strong; in the face of such a major change, Harry has instead shown maturity and composure.

Lin Nan said from behind him, "Are you planning to stand here all day, or take me upstairs to have a look?"

Harry turned around and saw Lin Nan standing next to a taxi, waving at him.

"Lin, you got here faster than Peter."

"I'm just a little closer."

Harry walked over and gave Lin Nan a hug.

Lin Nan asked with some surprise, "How come you regained your freedom so quickly?"

Harry's expression was complicated as he replied, "Attorney Matt and Chief George put in the effort, and someone else gave it a push."

"Who is it?"

"Tony Stark."

Lin Nan understood, but didn't say anything more.

It seems Tony helped a lot behind the scenes without ever mentioning it.

"I never expected that it would be my father's rival who would come to my aid. Lin, don't you think that's ironic?"

Lin Nan patted Harry on the shoulder: "Harry, let's not think about this anymore. Let's look forward. What do you want to do after you came back this time?"

"I will reunite my father's business and rebuild the glory of the Osborne Group. Of course, I will not follow my father's old path. I am not denying my father, but I feel that some changes should be made."

Lin Nan nodded, about to say something, when she heard Peter's voice.

Turning his head, he saw him waving to the two of them from afar. Gwen beside him was also smiling brightly, her blond hair fluffy. The two of them stood there, a perfect match, like a golden couple.

After going through so much, the four of them reunited, and it was inevitable that they felt a little sentimental.

They found a coffee shop, sat down and chatted together, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Peter kept telling Harry funny stories, making him laugh out loud, as if those gloomy days had never happened.

After drinking three cups of coffee, Lin Nan felt even his burps tasted a bit bitter, and casually asked, "Harry, what are your plans for rebuilding Osborn this time?"

Harry stroked his coffee cup, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's start with energy. My father had a friend, like a technology partner, who came up with an idea."

"It's called an artificial sun. Stark Industries does such a good job with clean energy, and I think this project also has huge commercial value and can truly have the power to change the world."

Peter exclaimed excitedly, "Controlled nuclear fusion! If we can develop that, Harry, you'll change the world just like Mr. Stark!"

Lin Nan nodded, inwardly marveling that any technology from the Marvel Universe could change the world.

However, he felt that he had heard of this artificial sun somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

What is it? It should be an important plot point. There are some things I didn't remember clearly when I was too young to see them.

Peter became even more excited, gesturing wildly: "Controlled nuclear fusion! Before my father disappeared, he knew a friend who worked on this."

Harry's expression shifted slightly, and he pressed on, "What's your father's friend's name?"

"Otto Octavius, Dr. Otto, he is also very accomplished in the field of mechanical neural interfaces!"

With a snap, a bolt of lightning flashed through Lin Nan's mind, and he remembered!

The artificial sun, this Dr. Otto, is the later Doctor Octopus!

Harry and Peter were having a heated discussion when Gwen noticed something was off about Lin Nan's expression.

She asked in a low voice, "Lin, is there a problem with this project?"

These words immediately silenced Harry and Peter, who both turned to look at Lin Nan.

They had long been convinced of this friend's abilities, and his opinions and judgments were of utmost importance.

Harry asked somewhat nervously, "Lin, is there really a problem with the project?"

Lin Nan shook his head: "The project itself should be fine; the problem lies with Dr. Otto's robotic arm."

Harry was shocked. The mechanical arm had not yet appeared in the public eye and was still in the secret stage. If he were not a partner, he would not know about it. How could Lin Nan know about it?

But when I realized it was Lin Nan who said it, I felt relieved.

Peter became nervous because Lin Nan said that good things might not come true, but bad things would definitely happen!

"Lin, what's wrong with the robotic arm?"

Chapter 84 Sunday

Lin Nan pondered for a moment. Doctor Octopus, as Spider-Man's most troublesome villain, didn't rely entirely on his four mechanical tentacles, but rather on his extremely high intelligence.

If we could nip the birth of Doctor Octopus in the bud, wouldn't we be able to gain a helper who combines strength and intelligence?

However, this balance must be struck. Otto's fighting ability is not strong; his strength lies in the autonomous AI inside his mechanical tentacles. If it is suppressed too much, the four mechanical tentacles will become useless.

The three of them waited anxiously and quietly, still hoping for Lin Nan's reply.

After a long pause, Lin Nan finally said, "The problem with the robotic arm is that Dr. Otto gave the AI ​​too much authority. Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Harry paused, shook his head, and said, "Dr. Otto's AI design is already world-class, but it's not good if its autonomy is too low. It can't support overly complex operations, and the project's progress is too slow. What should we do?"

Lin Nan thought for a moment and said, "Harry, you can ask Tony Stark for advice. His Jarvis is the most perfect artificial intelligence right now, and he must have a better method."

“Stark? Will he… will he help?”

"Yes, believe me, Harry."

Harry noticed Lin Nan's expression change and suddenly understood many things. He lowered his head and said, "So that's how it is, Lin, thank you."

"You're welcome. It's what friends should do."

Peter and Gwen exchanged a glance, wondering what kind of cryptic conversation the two were having.

After a while, Harry couldn't sit still any longer and stood up: "Let's get together again later. I have some things to take care of. Excuse me, you three can chat."

After saying that, he put on his coat and left in a hurry.

The three of them were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Gwen looked at Harry's departing figure, then at Lin Nan, lost in thought.

“Lin, I’m really happy to see Harry get back on his feet, but I wonder how Uncle Norman is doing,” Peter said.

Lin Nan glanced at Gwen without showing any emotion and noticed that there was no surprise in the girl's eyes. Perhaps she had some guesses about the secret identities of these friends, but just didn't say it out loud.

"Norman... he'll probably be alright soon..."

Peter was taken aback and wanted to ask something, but he saw Gwen still sitting next to him out of the corner of his eye and forcibly held back.

At this moment, Gwen picked up her phone, glanced at it, and said apologetically, "My father needs to talk to me, so I have to go back now. See you at school tomorrow."

After saying that, he put on his coat and left.

Watching Gwen's departing figure, Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh. Peter, you must cherish such an understanding girl, and don't let her be tempted by some cat.

As soon as Gwen left, Peter leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What happened, Lynn? How is Uncle Norman doing?"

"It has returned to normal, and I believe it will be back in the public eye soon."

“Great!” Peter exclaimed.

Suddenly, the customers in the coffee shop all gasped in surprise, and the three of them turned to look at each other.

An urgent news broadcast was playing on the TV at the coffee shop counter. A female presenter, dressed formally and with impeccable makeup, announced the news clearly and with a serious expression:

"Breaking news! At 2 PM, Steve Grant Rogers has fully regained consciousness, is in good condition, and is currently under observation and rehabilitation training!"

A photo was attached to the upper right corner of the screen. In the photo, a blond, blue-eyed man was sitting in a room decorated in the style of the last world, wearing a gray T-shirt, looking at the camera with a complicated expression.

His face was thinner than in historical images, and his deep blue eyes, filled with the vicissitudes and complexity of life, pierced through the screen and touched people's hearts.

The crowd gradually became excited and started discussing the matter.

"My God! It really is him! He's still alive!"

"How is this possible? Could it be a fake?!"

"You're the fake one! How could official U.S. federal news be fake?!"

Lin Nan was stunned. This living legend, who had been sleeping under the ice for seventy years, had actually awakened so early, which was completely unexpected.

It's possible that his intervention altered too many plot points, causing a shift in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resource allocation and priorities, leading to Captain America's premature awakening.

However, Captain America's awakening means that the Avengers' assembly has officially entered the countdown, which is measured in days.

What about Loki? We don't know if he'll be here soon, but we need to hurry up and prepare. He now has a two-star physical shock capsule in his hands, so he's not as weak as he was at the beginning.

"Lin? Are you alright?" Peter waved his hand in front of Lin Nan.

"Thank goodness, this is really good news," Lin Nan said.

Peter smiled and said, "Yes, I never thought I would live to see this living legend. It's like he stepped right out of a historical film."

"Yes, I really didn't expect that."

After parting ways with Peter, the numbers on Lin Nan's right wrist started flashing again: [Causality Value +10, +100, +100, +97]
