Chapter 117: Marvel World?
In an instant, a scroll unfolded slowly from Lin Yu's consciousness.
It was a room with exquisite decoration, where a Chinese youth in white pajamas sat cross-legged on a soft large bed, meditating with eyes closed in the standard posture of five hearts facing the sky.
Resting on his knees was a long sword like jade.
Judging by its style and shape, it was unmistakably a bronze sword from the Zhou Dynasty!
... Who is this?
Lin Yu looked puzzled, seemingly unable to recognize the identity of this Chinese youth.
Just then, the mobile phone placed on the bedside table suddenly rang.
The youth opened his eyes, raised a hand and grasped, actually pulling the phone into his palm out of thin air.
Telekinesis?
Or something like Qi?
Lin Yu became interested and immediately brought the image closer to the youth's side.
He saw him glance at the contact on the screen, answer the call, and immediately say, "Have you found it?"
"No."
A pleasant voice came from the phone, sounding somewhat troubled as it said, "The Sorcerer Supreme seems unwilling to see me. No matter how I search, I cannot find the location of the New York Sanctum."
The Sorcerer Supreme!
And the New York Sanctum!
This is indeed the Marvel World!
Lin Yu's eyes lit up first, then a hint of confusion and incomprehension surged in his heart.
He had only leveled up once, yet jumped directly from "The Outcast" to the Marvel World.
The gap in world power levels is simply too exaggerated!
Or is this just a Parallel World within the Marvel Multiverse, where the power level isn't actually that high?
... That's impossible, right? With the Sorcerer Supreme present, how low could it possibly be?
After a moment of thought, Lin Yu shook his head and decided not to dwell on this issue for now.
Since I am here, I must be at ease; anyway, with his strength, even a comic universe would not frighten him. At most, he would just tell the group members with insufficient strength to be careful!
Hearing the words coming from the phone, the youth couldn't help but frown.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "Since the Sorcerer Supreme does not wish to see you, then try to make contact with S. H. I. E. L. D. I just landed today and will arrive in New York by tomorrow at the latest."
"Alright, it's settled then!"
The voice on the phone agreed cheerfully, then promptly hung up.
The youth sighed, lay back on the bed, raised his phone, and looked at the screen while talking to himself:
"Less than twenty days left..."
Hearing this, Lin Yu became curious and brought the image closer to the youth's face. He saw that the lock screen wallpaper clearly displayed the date: April 15, 2012!
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu immediately looked enlightened.
If he remembered correctly, the plot of the first "The Avengers" took place in May 2012.
So the time the youth mentioned should be the Battle of New York on May 4, 2012!
No wonder he and his companion on the other end of the call were looking for the Sorcerer Supreme and S. H. I. E. L. D.; they must want to warn them about this event...
Undoubtedly, this Chinese youth is definitely a transmigrator!
But his name...
Lin Yu exited the scroll and turned his gaze back to the names on the list.
Now that it is confirmed to be the Marvel World, this 'Lin Lie' is most likely the game character he knows!
However, the Lin Lie in his memory should have been the 67th Iron Fist.
In the game "Marvel Rivals," which went viral on the foreign internet in his previous life, he was also a melee character who used fists. When did he start carrying a jade long sword with him?
Lin Yu thought for a moment and felt this must be related to this person's origin story.
He had only watched the games and movies and was not familiar with the comics, so he could not know.
But regardless, having access to a world with higher power levels is always a good thing.
Plus, there were two qualifications this time. Lin Yu did not hesitate and immediately cast a vote for each of the two prospective group members.
Time flew, years passed like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
During these five days, the five group members agreed on an order and started their live streams one by one.
Su Su Haoming's live stream content was very simple; apart from introducing Lin Yu's dojo at the very beginning, he just wandered around Jifeng City, recording his wonderful day of eating, drinking, and attending classes.
Regarding this leisurely and affluent life, the other three group members expressed great envy.
They wished they could immediately have Lin Yu find their own world to bypass the chat group and travel to the Frieren World.
Unfortunately, even with the help of the group live stream, finding a world coordinate in the endless void was not that simple; at least it could not be achieved in the short term.
After Su Su Haoming ended his live stream, the next to start broadcasting was Xiang Yunye from the Tang Brick World.
At that time, he was dealing with the locust plague problem coming soon, so the content was rather boring.
Only in this process, the Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Li Shimin encountered inside and outside the court, along with various famous ministers of the early Tang period, held some attraction for the group members.
As for the management of the locust plague, Lin Yu had already provided help, so there was no need to pay excessive attention to it.
After Xiang Yunye's live stream ended, it was Fan Xian from the Yu Nian World!
His live stream content was quite interesting; it was the two face-to-face confrontations in the court and the imperial study.
The cast included Fan Xian, the Qing Emperor, Li Li Yunrui, Lin Lin Ruofu, Chen Chen Pingping, and a host of officials of various ranks in the court.
In the court, Chen Chen Pingping left some face for the imperial family, did not speak to the extreme, but through various case details, subtly pointed the spearhead at the Long Princess's residence.
But in the Imperial Study, Fan Xian and Chen Chen Pingping were not so polite.
They not only directly revealed the Long Princess's private collusion with Northern Qi, but also gathered numerous pieces of evidence, bringing Fang Da, a patrol division general of the City Patrol Bureau who had nearly been silenced by the Long Princess.
Plus, Lin Gong had nearly been used by the Long Princess to become the center of the whirlpool in this case; the Prime Minister of Qing Kingdom, Lin Lin Ruofu, harbored hatred and thus chose to stand on Fan Xian's side, fanning the flames from the sidelines and adding insult to injury to Li Li Yunrui.
Facing the siege of everyone, Li Li Yunrui's performance was quite decisive.
She directly knelt before the Qing Emperor, stating that this case was the work of a maid in her service.
This maid was her confidante, who happened to be in charge of many matters of the Inner Treasury; when Fan Xian married Lin Wan'er, the financial power of the Inner Treasury would be transferred, and the maid did not want to lose this channel for accumulating wealth, so she took advantage of her name to strike at Fan Xian.
Fan Xian was not polite at all and immediately demanded that Li Li Yunrui summon that maid to confront her.
As a result, Li Li Yunrui's expression did not change, stating bluntly that the maid had already been privately disposed of by her; if they wanted to ask, they could only go down there to ask...
Such a ruthless and black-hearted move of shifting the blame truly made Fan Xian laugh in anger.
Chen Chen Pingping and Lin Lin Ruofu, however, remained calm and composed; not only were they not moved in the slightest, but they even showed a hint of a smile, as if they believed Li Li Yunrui had made an extremely foolish move.
In fact, it was indeed so; which one of those present was not a shrewd person?
Even if Li Li Yunrui had cleaned up her tracks as thoroughly as possible, they all knew it as clearly as a mirror in their hearts.
Especially the Qing Emperor, whose character was inherently suspicious and possessed an extremely strong sense of exclusivity.
If Li Li Yunrui had admitted it, it would have been fine, but she insisted on having her own way, keeping the Inner Treasury firmly under her control.
Little did she know, the more she regarded the financial power of the Inner Treasury as something within her grasp, the more dissatisfied the Qing Emperor became with her.
Ultimately, just as Chen Chen Pingping had predicted, the Qing Emperor, citing pressure from the ministers, convicted Li Li Yunrui of the crime of failing to strictly control her subordinates and expelled her from the capital, sending her back to her fiefdom, Xinyang.
Regarding this outcome, Fan Xian was extremely dissatisfied on the surface, but in reality, he was not at all surprised.
Li Li Yunrui was, after all, of the imperial family; with the Qing Emperor's character, he would absolutely not treat her the same as a commoner.
Forcing her to leave the capital and stay away from the center of power in Qing Kingdom was already the heaviest punishment among heavy punishments.
And what Fan Xian wanted was precisely this point.
As long as Li Li Yunrui left the capital, what she would encounter privately was anyone's guess!
Regarding the open and secret struggles in the Southern Qing court, the group members watched with great interest.
On the issue of how to deal with Li Li Yunrui, they took turns expressing their suggestions.
Su Su Haoming suggested that Fan Xian directly send people to intercept and assassinate the Long Princess's convoy.
Xiang Yunye thought doing so was too rash and believed it should be more detailed, such as investigating the appearance of Northern Qi's ninth-rank experts, using disguise techniques to change their faces, and disguising it as the work of Northern Qi.
Just as the Qing Emperor wanted to provoke Northern Qi, placing the blame on Northern Qi's head, it also secretly aligned with the Qing Emperor's intentions, surely reducing some trouble.
As for the final one, He He Jingfeng, this one was even more heavyweight.
He bluntly stated that Xiang Yunye and Su Su Haoming were not professional enough, believing that assassination matters still had to be adapted to local conditions.
Is the Yu Nian World not a feudal society? Then first create momentum among the people, spread the Long Princess's numerous bad deeds, and then find Lin Yu to purchase a single-person electromagnetic cannon, or a Lei Xi Mo Fa scroll.
Finally, execute this evil woman in the name of heavenly punishment, with full justification!
Once this strategy was proposed, Xiang Yunye and Su Su Haoming immediately fell silent.
Fan Xian also thought this plan was reasonable, so he adopted this opinion and began to arrange things in an orderly manner.
And after Fan Xian ended the live broadcast, He He Jingfeng, having learned from Xiang Yunye's lesson, did not rush to start broadcasting.
Until five days later, which is this very moment, he finally turned on the live broadcast.
In just a few seconds, four group members, including Lin Yu, rushed into the live broadcast room.
Looking at the empty rooftop in the live broadcast screen and He He Jingfeng standing on the rooftop, everyone couldn't help but feel curious and began to flood the live broadcast room with bullet comments.
【Yo, finally started broadcasting!】
【Where is this?】
【It's a rooftop!】
【Nonsense, who doesn't know this is a rooftop.】
【What I mean is, this looks so much like a school...】
"That's right, this is indeed a school!"
He He Jingfeng smiled slightly, walked to the edge of the rooftop, and gazed down at the two groups of people fighting below, saying leisurely: "However, the full name of the school is Tang Sect Martial Arts School!"
