Chapter Seventy-Eight: Sword Soul
At an altitude of nine thousand meters, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aerospace aircraft carrier turned on all background reflective panels and disappeared from the naked eye and ordinary radar detection.
In the conference hall, Lin Yi leaned on a chair and looked down at the monitoring screen projected in front of him.
Half of the purpose of his trip was the scepter inlaid with the Mind Gem, and the other half was the mission he had volunteered to take on.
The first half of the story has already been achieved, and the second half is still a bit out of line.
After all, it was a bit unrealistic to expect Loki to tell him that the answer was true, and even if he said it, Lin Yi wouldn't necessarily believe it.
Therefore, it is still necessary to rely on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capture of gamma rays to find the location of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
After finding the location of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, he will naturally be able to find his mission target.
However, for the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Lin Yi doesn't plan to start for the time being, this thing is relatively hot to hold, unlike Loki's Spiritual Scepter, which can be used as his own trophy, and no one can say anything wrong.
And he is not afraid of provoking Thanos because of this, after all, even if he doesn't provoke, Thanos will come to Earth sooner or later.
"This guy has a ...... that is verbose"
Bruce Banner said with a smile on his face.
"He did it on purpose."
Steve said with a calm face.
"From the first time we met, he was trying to influence Lin Yi, and now Dr. Banner again."
Lin Yi raised his head when he heard this, and said with a smile.
"The captain is right, but Loki obviously underestimated me because of this face, how could I not be as smart as I could not detect his ulterior motives......"
“……”
The corners of Steve's mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked at Thor who was holding his arms and asked.
"Thor, do you know something?"
"......" Thor was silent for a while, but still spoke, "He has an army called Zetari, this army does not belong to any planet, and if Loki wants to take them to attack Earth, he will definitely use the Cosmic Rubik's Cube in exchange." ”
"An army from the extraterrestrial ......," Dr. Banner frowned slightly, "so he plans to use the Cosmic Cube to open a portal so that his army can invade Earth?" ”
"But why do they need iridium metal?" Natasha asked, "I checked the rich man who had one of his eyeballs removed, and he kept metal iridium in a secret safe. ”
"Stabilizer."
A voice came from outside, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Loki needs a stable and persistent portal to teleport his army, not ...... like when he came"
Tony, dressed in a suit, walked into the conference room, his eyes sweeping over the faces of everyone at the conference table.
"I believe that even the Zetari army in Thor's mouth can't everyone have the same good physique as Loki, right?"
"I agree." Thor nodded repeatedly, with a hint of arrogance in his words, "Although Loki has always neglected to exercise, he is an Asgardian after all. ”
"They're probably on a battleship or something......" Natasha retorted.
"Oh, you expect that short, narrow portal to teleport a battleship intact? Come on, it's a portal that can travel through space, not a woman's ......."
Speaking of this, Tony Stark paused.
"I almost forgot that the shuttle kid was here."
Natasha: "......"
“…… Wait a minute! ”
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Mr. Stark, what do you mean by shuttle boy?"
“…… That's what I'm called. ”
Tony Stark shrugged and stepped onto the console that belonged to Nick Fury.
"They call you a shuttle — oh, tell me, how does that guy usually look at all four screens at the same time? With only one eye......"
"Shuttlers?"
Lin Yi suddenly rolled his eyes and looked at Natasha on the side.
"In fact, I have my own code name."
"We can modify it."
Natasha spread her hands.
"Why, Space Traveler, I think it's okay."
Thor looked at it with some confusion.
"But I have better."
Lin Yi smiled politely.
"Oh yes?"
Thor asked with interest.
"What's that?"
"Sword Soul."
“…… What the? ”
"That's what Chinese is called, I'm not sure if it translates into English, but you can call me Blade Master."
“…… Juggernaut? ”
Thor raised an eyebrow and looked at him suspiciously.
"In our country, only the strongest swordsmen can be judged like this, and even Vandal would not dare to call himself ...... so."
Although he didn't say it directly, there was a sentence between Thor's words - "Boy, are you worthy?" ”
"You'll see."
As he spoke, Lin Yi smiled slightly, and glanced at Tony on the other side of the console.
As the crowd turned their attention to him, Tony casually taped a few small objects under the console.
His movements were very hidden, but he still couldn't escape Lin Yi's eyes.
Tony and Banner discuss topics that no one else understands, and the two finally come to some agreement and go into another room together to track down the Rubik's Cube.
Thor found his old friend Coulson to ask about Jane's current situation, and Lin Yi began to chat with the American team after proposing to change the codename.
After a while, Tony suddenly walked out, his eyes scanning around Lin Yi.
"What's the matter, Mr. Stark?"
Lin Yi was keenly aware of his gaze.
"There's something I need you to come over."
Tony smiled and said to Steve next to him.
"Captain, can I borrow your little fan for a while, don't worry, I'll pay it back."
"......," the corners of Steve's mouth twitched.
Lin Yi also stood up helplessly, and instructed Steve as he walked.
"If you have time, use this software more, send it to Moments or something, believe me, you will soon be obsessed with him."
"I will, thank you."
Steve smiled slightly, watched the two walk into another room, and then raised his phone with some confusion, looking at a software called VX that had just been registered by Lin Yi.
"Is this thing really interesting?"
……
……
"What's the matter, Mr. Stark?"
Lin Yi asked after Tony.
"In order to track down the Rubik's Cube, we need to start with Loki's scepter......"
Tony said as he glanced back at the tall Lin Yi.
"So you want me to bring out the scepter for you to study?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.
"That's right, and I'm very interested in your means of folding space." Tony said.
"We'll talk about that later."
Seeing the two of them walk into the room, Dr. Banner stepped out from behind a screen and greeted Lin Yi with a smile.
"I've been staying here, so I know very well that you're here on a mission to rescue your companions, and I think you'd love to track down the Rubik's Cube, right?"
"That's right."
Lin Yi nodded, then gently stretched out his hand, and a scepter suddenly appeared in his hand.
Tony's sunglasses flashed through the stream, but Jarvis didn't detect anything.
“…… I'm getting more and more interested in you. ”
"I'm honored, but there's something I have to warn you about."
Lin Yi said as he put the scepter in his hand on the shelf on the table.
"This scepter has the power to control the minds of humans, and without my isolation, this gem could inadvertently affect your minds, especially Dr. Banner."
As he spoke, Lin Yi looked at Banner, and Tony couldn't help but look over.
"Okay, I'll try to control myself."
Dr. Banner said with a smile on his face.
Seeing Dr. Banner start scanning the scepter, Tony steps over to the other screen to review the scanned data.
Lin Yi thought about it, walked over to Tony's side and whispered.
"Mr. Stark, I see you put some gadgets under the S.H.I.E.L.D......."
“……”
Tony asked without looking back.
"So what?"
"Can you tell me what you're doing......" Lin Yi asked pretending to be curious.
"Nothing inconvenient, I'm trying to hack S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system."
"Why, you think Fury is hiding a lot from us?"
"Of course, he's the king of agents after all, but that's okay, in a few hours, I'll know all the secret secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D......."
"So...... You did the same thing with my phone? ”
Lin Yi said with a smile.
"......" Tony finally turned his head and glanced at him.
"Don't worry, I don't mind."
Lin Yi smiled and looked at Tony with a serious expression.
"Mr. Stark, can you tell me what you think of the photos stored on my phone?"
“……”
Tony completely stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Yi seriously.
"Before that, I really thought you were just a powerful 18-year-old boy."
"Age is not everything." Lin Yi said lightly.
"But it definitely means something." Tony said earnestly, "Forgive me, kid. ”
"I understand." Lin Yi said with a smile, "Trust is a long-term thing. ”
Lin Yi knew that in Tony's eyes, he was also an unstable factor, but because of this face, Tony was willing to be gentle.
So Tony hacked Lin Yi's mobile phone and wanted to spy on him secretly through this kind of personal belongings he carried.
As for scanning the phone's storage, Tony didn't care much about it, after all, an eighteen-year-old child, in addition to those things that everyone knows, what other unspeakable secrets can there be.
But what he didn't expect was that Lin Yi's mobile phone really had something that interested him very much.
Maps of otherworldly continents, completely different skies, unfamiliar constellations, tall giants, blue-eyed dead people, and...... A strange race called the Strangers.
"I'm sure you saw those pictures too."
Lin Yi said softly.
"I killed one of those white creatures and got something......"
“……”
Tony glanced at him, then refocused his gaze on the screen in front of him and whispered.
"We can talk about these things later, well, go to my Stark Building......"
"No problem."
Lin Yi had a satisfied smile on his face.
"I'll go back and bother after this is over."
