Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

It's rare to find a PhD who, even after drinking, still knows how to share the benefits.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated with an unusual frequency, causing his expression to change slightly.

He quickly pulled out his phone and glanced at it; the message was from Coulson's encrypted channel.

The message was very short: [Lin, inform the Knight that Loki has arrived and taken the Tesseract and Black Widow. War is about to begin. S.H.I.E.L.D. requests assistance!]

Those few words made Lin Nan tense all over.

How could it be so fast? It doesn't make sense according to the timeline. The Battle of New York is coming, and this peaceful happiness will be shattered.

It's not surprising that Loki was able to steal the Rubik's Cube; what's surprising is why it happened so quickly, essentially disrupting the timeline.

Peter and Harry had never seen Lin Nan look so pale. Knowing that something serious had happened, they exchanged a glance.

Harry strode over and asked in a low voice, "Lin, what happened?"

Lin Nan didn't say much, his expression was solemn, and he looked around.

"Friends, go to bed early tonight, I'm heading back now."

He hurriedly put down his wine glass and turned to leave.

Dr. Otto's voice came from behind: "Lin, do you need my help?"

Lin Nan paused, turned around, stared at Dr. Otto for a few seconds, and smiled, "Doctor, go to bed early tonight too."

After observing for several days, he discovered that this future Dr. Octopus, if not controlled by artificial intelligence, is a very kind, knowledgeable, and generous elder, worthy of being befriended.

Although bringing Dr. Otto into the Codex organization now is somewhat risky, he is no longer the novice who just entered the world and has the confidence to face the risks.

After saying that, he strode away, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

Gwen gently held Peter's hand: "Peter, go home and get some sleep."

“Gwen…”

"No explanation needed, my boy."

"Okay...Gwen...I'll explain it to you later..."

Lin Nan returned to her apartment and stared blankly at the full moon in the sky when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw Tony standing outside, dressed casually, with a serious expression.

"Tony, come in and let's talk." Lin Nan stepped aside to let him in.

As soon as he came in, Tony took out a tablet, placed it on the table, and pushed it over: "This is a video recording from Nick Fury. Take a look."

Lin Nan took the tablet, opened it, and examined it closely, her brows furrowed.

Judging from the video, this god of mischief is not as childish as in the movie. He is cunning and composed, with very clear goals, and his skills in magic and illusion seem to be quite advanced.

"Well? This gentleman in the horned costume is the god of trickery you mentioned before, isn't he?"

Lin Nan nodded: "He's stronger than I imagined, he's very troublesome."

Tony nodded: "Will you make a move?"

"Of course it will. This is war, not child's play. Tony, when you get back, first raise the security of Stark Tower to the highest level."

You mean…

"He is arrogant and conceited. For him, this war is not about declaring war but about putting on a show. He will definitely go."

Afterwards, the two leaned on the coffee table, whispering and exchanging opinions.

“Okay, let’s do it that way, but he took a female agent with him. What do you think his purpose is?” Tony asked.

Lin Nan stroked his chin, thinking for a while.

In the original comics, Black Widow did not appear at the Tesseract research site; Loki took Barton with him, but in this universe, he took Black Widow instead.

Lin Nan thought for a while and said, "I don't know. He's lived for so many years, his thoughts are hard to fathom. I'll contact you anytime if I have any ideas."

"Okay, I'll head back now. Contact me if anything comes up."

"Okay, Tony."

Tony opened the door and was about to walk out when he suddenly stopped and said jokingly, "Old man, if you fight well enough, I'll really call you uncle. If you don't, you'd better watch out."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Nan's reply, he closed the door and turned to leave.

Lin Nan was speechless. He shook his head, picked up his communicator, and sent a message to Wanda: "Wanda, go to bed early with Pietro tonight."

The message was quickly replied to: "Okay, Lin, you too."

Chapter 90 The First Cryptographic Meeting

After Tony left, Lin Nan meditated in the dark for a while, restoring her mind to its best state, and then sent a message to Attorney Ma: "Attorney Ma, go to bed early tonight."

Attorney Matt replied with an "OK," in a very aloof manner.

After sending the message, he put his phone aside, sat cross-legged, and his consciousness quickly and familiarly entered a lucid dream.

The synchronization rate and compatibility have been improved to over 80%, and this space is gradually becoming very similar to the real world.

After mobilizing the energy of [Harmony], one vortex after another appeared in the sky.

Lin Nan waved his hand, condensing the mist into a long table, several chairs, and a few walls, making it look like a real conference room.

Upon closer inspection, however, the surfaces of these substances faintly emanate a misty aura, and they are not so solid.

After doing all this, he looked up and searched within the vortex, his consciousness stirring.

The first figure appeared, its outline gradually becoming clearer. Peter Parker, dressed in red pajamas, was like a drop of clear water merging into a deep pool, creating ripples.

When he landed, he staggered slightly and looked around warily and in surprise: "Lin, your abilities have improved so much again. This space now looks almost the same as the real world."

Lin Nan didn't explain further, but just smiled and said, "Parker, find a chair and sit down. It's going to get lively here soon."

The moment Peter Parker appeared, Lin Nan felt a slight increase in the burden on his consciousness, but compared to before, it was like a drop in the ocean, negligible.

It seems that the improvement in synchronization rate and compatibility is not a simple multiple addition, but an exponential growth.

He did a quick calculation and figured he could bring in at least six more people.

Then, with a flick of his finger, Matt, wearing his old trench coat and red sunglasses, appeared silently beside Parker without his cane.

As soon as he came in, he took off his sunglasses and greedily looked at everything in front of him.

"Lin, this is truly an amazing experience."

Unlike Peter, who was initially unsettled, he had a deep-seated sense of balance due to his long-term blindness.

He sat down on the bench next to Parker, the back of which was engraved with the number 2.

Lin Nan asked, "Attorney Matt, are you going to reveal your identity? There are some people here you haven't met before."

Matt thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Since we've already gone this far, there's no point in hiding our identities. Let's just leave it at that."

Then a third figure appeared, accompanied by crimson energy fluctuations.

Wanda, dressed in white bear pajamas with her long hair cascading over her shoulders, appeared and her gaze immediately fell on Lin Nan's face. She exclaimed excitedly, "Lin, is this what you meant by 'go to bed early'? What an amazing ability! The atmosphere here feels so welcoming..."

Lin Nan smiled slightly: "It seems you arrived before your brother. You can sit next to Attorney Matt, my Agent Number Three."

Wanda nodded obediently, sat down, and greeted Peter and Matt, the lawyer: "Hello, my name is Wanda, Wanda Maximoff, Lin's good friend!"

Attorney Ma shook hands very seriously. In this magical space, his radar senses were mostly deprived, but he could still clearly feel the unfathomable energy emanating from the girl.

She seemed to have a special ability; she didn't feel any discomfort upon arriving in this strange space.

Thinking of this, Attorney Matt had a sudden realization: Lin Nan had secretly accumulated so much power.

"Wanda, is Pietro still awake?" Lin Nan asked.

“He runs tens of thousands of meters before bed, which keeps his nerves in a state of heightened excitement, so he probably won’t have a good time falling asleep.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Pietro was wearing training clothes, his hair was messy, and his chest was rising and falling slightly. He had obviously just been dreaming about training when he was forcibly dragged out.

The moment the figure appeared, he felt his extreme speed power being stripped away, and he panicked. His eyes locked onto the people around him, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he spotted Wanda and Lin Nan.

"Lin, I see. Could you please be more specific next time? Where is this place? Am I dreaming?"

Lin Nan nodded: "Welcome, Pietro. You could say this is my dream."

Pietro's pupils contracted, but he didn't ask any more questions. He sat down next to Wanda and observed the other two strangers.

One looked like a student, and the other was older with a serious expression, but he also knew that those who could be gathered together by the knights were definitely not ordinary people.

He turned around and looked behind his chair, and noticed a number 4 engraved on the back of the chair.

"What does this mean? Does it mean I'm number four?"

Lin Nan nodded: "I have a few more friends. I'll explain everything to them when they arrive."

Pietro muttered something, but because there were strangers around, he didn't argue and just sat there quietly.

But his eyes weren't as obedient as they seemed; they darted around, looking everywhere.

This space is clearly not the real world. What does Lin Nan want to do by gathering them here?

Are we going to use them as weapons like Hydra?

No, no, that won't happen. Pietro shook his head and looked at Wanda beside him.

Wanda noticed that her gaze was gentle and focused only on Lin Nan, who was sitting there obediently.

Pietro smiled helplessly; his sister was truly naive.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for my sister to fall into this trap is hard to say, but if it's Lin Nan, it's more likely to be a good thing.

Just then, another figure appeared.

Norman Osborne was dressed in gold armor, and it seemed that his dream was about battle.

When Norman appeared, Matt tensed up slightly. Although he didn't do anything rash, he carefully observed the other man.

"Forest..."
