Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 7 No More X-Men?
"Please go to the front desk and show your identification." The security guard obviously had some impression of the rookie reporter who was still quite famous, and reacted immediately.
"Okay."
After walking to the front desk, Liao Yu looked at the blonde front desk beauty with an apologetic expression.
"Hi, I'm sorry, I don't have a formal invitation, call logs."
The blonde beauty faced Liao Yu with a standard professional smile and said, "Of course, it's just that I want you to show me the call history and register your information at the same time." ”
"No problem." Liao Yu handed over the mobile phone, and the mobile phone call interface showed multiple calls with "Peter Parker" today. Of course, the contact person who remarked Peter Parker is naturally not the contact information of the well-known Spider-Man, as for that number, of course, Liao Yu casually flipped through the phone book on the street, anyway, Liao Yu felt that the front desk lady would not generally verify the authenticity of the number.
Even if it is exposed, Liao Yu can use the excuse that this is the phone number that Peter Parker has been contacting him, maybe he has two phone numbers, and Liao Yu will be recognized as a liar at most, and he will not be in danger because of this.
Ten minutes later, Liao Yu was already sitting in the waiting area of the Clarion Daily.
Looking at the well-designed Horn Daily logo in front of him, Liao Yu gradually felt an inexplicable sense of unreality in his heart, as if he was still in the original world, and now it was just a game adventure with a new generation of VR equipment. Regarding the sudden throwing into another world, Liao Yu can't accept the sense of separation from the original reality well for the time being.
"Hello, I'm Peter Parker, may I ask if we've met before?" With a greeting that pulled Liao Yu back to reality, a man with glasses walked up to Liao Yu.
"Actually, I've seen you, and you don't necessarily see me." Liao Yu's polite words actually said unbelievable facts, but Peter Parker must not understand the true meaning behind it. "Excuse me, my name is Sue, can I take a step to speak?"
While Peter Parker was looking at himself, Liao Yu was also assessing the age and life stage of Spider-Man in front of him. Deadpool didn't appear frequently in major events in the early days of the comics, so Liao Yu couldn't confirm what period the Marvel world in front of him was through Deadpool just now. What's more, it is a real world after all, and Liao Yu, who has always been cautious, of course chooses to expand his sources of information as much as possible.
Led by Peter Parker, the two came to a small conference room, and Peter Parker turned around and pressed the lock button after Liao Yu entered.
"Okay, this Mr. Su, no one will come to disturb us here."
Liao Yu immediately took out the rhetoric he had already thought of.
"That's right, I'm sorry to come to visit you so presumptuously. I remember you've taken a lot of pictures of Spider-Man and you're almost the face of it, so I'm here to ask Spider-Man for a favor, and I hope you might be able to pass on a message to him. ”
Peter Parker frowned and looked at Liao Yu, and replied hesitantly: "Mr. Su, can I ask what the matter is, you must know that I am not actually his spokesperson or agent, otherwise, if you want to see me today, I am afraid you will have to make an appointment." ”
"Of course you can, I think you should know about the president's resurrection."
After seeing Peter Parker nod, Liao Yu continued to throw his chips.
"This afternoon I went to the President's Cemetery for personal reasons, where I was attacked by Presidents Kennedy and Truman, and I was drawn into the battle between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the President, and in the course of the battle, I came into contact with the necromantic magic of those Presidents, and I was able to unexpectedly obtain some of their memories after their resurrection."
Speaking of this, Liao Yu paused for a moment and looked at Peter Parker with a sincere face: "Do you need to Google the data on the scene to verify this battle?" ”
Peter Parker responded to Liao Yu with the same sincere expression: "No, no, no, no, I happened to see part of this battle from my online friends, after all, I am a journalist and need to keep an eye on the latest events." ”
More mature than I expected Spider-Man, it seems that the Spider-Man of this world has faded away from the youth of the campus, and has begun to improve its own technology to lay the foundation for the future Parker industry? The time had to be pushed back.
As the guardian of the city of New York and a good neighbor of the citizens, Spider-Man has enough technology to ensure control of the entire city in addition to mutation, so that he can rescue at any time, and real-time monitoring of New York City is only a small part of his means.
In a hurry, Liao Yu did not forget to continue to gain the trust of the other party: "In those memory fragments, these presidents discussed revenge in the Watergate Building. However, when I told S.H.I.E.L.D. everything, they wouldn't believe what I was saying, and swore that they could handle it. But...... To be honest, I have no confidence in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities. ”
"Their level of business really needs to be improved." Peter Parker, who is "Spider-Man", obviously knows this very well.
"Deadpool was very interested in what I said, but even if he rushed to Watergate by then, how could he stop so many zombie presidents by himself, so I wondered if I could contact other superheroes to help."
"I understand, I'll do my best, thank you for your efforts for peace." Parker nodded and stretched out his right hand to Liao Yu.
Looking at Spider-Man's outstretched right hand, Liao Yu's expression was a little trance for a moment, as if this hand shuttled between reality and illusion, shattered the barrier that had been deliberately ignored by Liao Yu, and came to him under the intertwined fate arrangement.
"Mr. Sue?" Peter Parker looked at Liao Yu, who was stunned, and asked with concern.
"Oh, it's okay, it's just that I suddenly remembered the close encounters with those presidents in the afternoon, and I can't slow down a little now, sorry, forgive me for being just an ordinary person. Also, just call me Sue. Liao Yu was embarrassed to reach out and hold Parker's hand tightly, this was the first time Liao Yu had physical contact with people in this world.
Parker comforted Liao Yu and said, "Okay, Sue." It's okay, no one can stay calm in the face of those resurrected undead, all you need is to go back and sleep at night. ”
"I hope so."
Liao Yu saw that the business was done, so he asked casually: "Iron Man is the boss of Stark Technology, and he also formed the Avengers, does he have so much energy?" You see, I'm already too busy working on my own papers every day. ”
"Mr. Stark may have a secretary to help him with all this, I don't know, I don't know. However, since the captain was rescued, the captain has appeared in most events in the Avengers, and Mr. Stark probably doesn't need to worry too much. ”
So the captain has only been rescued for a few years, and there has not been a civil war. Judging by Peter's demeanor, it seems that he has not joined the Avengers? It seems that there are a slight deviations from the manga.
Liao Yu thought about it while continuing to talk: "Captain Mi can't come out to deal with those undead, why don't you say other superheroes do it, X-Men?" Iron fist? Young Avengers? They probably don't have the symbolism of Captain Mikoku. ”
"There are not only immediate crises in this world, but in fact many crises are solved by these heroes in secret. As for the X-Men, there are no X-Men in this world anymore. As he said this, Parker couldn't help but glance at Liao Yu suspiciously, as if Liao Yu's successive strange behaviors had finally aroused his suspicions.
Liao Yu suddenly had an alarm bell in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart that this kind of direct investigation of the intelligence of important people would have huge benefits and risks.
"What's wrong with the X-Men, I'm sorry, I've been busy with my thesis before, so ......" Liao Yu tried to control his expression.
"Also, most people don't take the initiative to learn everything about mutants."
Parker slightly restrained his suspicions, and said with some sadness: "The truth is that since that incident, even the X-Men have been greatly affected and rarely show up now. If you have the chance to meet any mutants, try to be as friendly as possible to them, as most mutants aren't really harmful. ”
"I see, I thought that with the abilities of the X-Men, I would not be affected by that incident. Thank you for informing me, I'll try to change my mind about mutants. ”
What's the big deal?
Liao Yu has no impression of this, and he is not easy to ask about this kind of major event that affects the whole world. While quickly retrieving the memories in his mind, Liao Yu habitually scanned the surroundings left and right with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and then he suddenly noticed a detail that had been ignored before.
Liao Yu's body subconsciously paused for a few seconds, and then casually tore off the sticky note paper on the table, picked up the pen and wrote a few lines on it.
"If you need my help, you can call me directly, and it will also have the address of the hotel where I am staying now."
"Okay, I wish you a safe return to the hotel." Parker glanced at the information on the paper and whispered.
On the way back, Liao Yu began to think about the previous candidates. In addition to Spider-Man, who has the first priority, Liao Yu originally thought of Iron Fist, Daredevil Man, X-Men and Doctor Strange.
As a magical event, the most suitable person is naturally Doctor Strange, who was involved in solving the matter in the original plot.
However, Doctor Strange is precisely one of the most unpredictable superheroes in this, and as a Supreme Mage who can see through time, Doctor Strange has a very different view of many events than many heroes. In many major incidents, Doctor Strange has been in an erratic and neutral manner.
From Liao Yu's perspective as an ordinary person, one is a mysterious and unpredictable cold pond that travels through time and space, and the other is a supreme mage who has independently assumed the magic defense power of the entire earth many times, and he doesn't dare to say which side is more powerful. In the case that Liao Yu's own origin is questionable, he does not plan to face the mysterious Doctor Strange unless it is absolutely necessary.
Alas...... Liao Yu sighed lightly and turned into an alley according to the route in his memory.
As soon as he stepped into the alley, Liao Yu felt a chill rushing down his spine, and his heart seemed to be suddenly tightened by an external force, giving him the illusion that it was difficult to breathe.
He didn't have time to make a rational judgment, and instinctively gave up the move of lunging, jumped fit and crashed into the wall on the left. The next second after he jumped, a dark green beam of magic plowed past where he had just stood.
Liao Yu, who hit the wall, turned around in pain, quickly bent his knees, and adjusted himself to the state where he was most likely to burst his strength.
The shattered pavement in front of him could not attract half of his attention, and all Liao Yu's energy was focused on the uninvited guest who broke through the glass on the second floor, and the first enemy he encountered after entering the world, Franklin D. Roosevelt in a wheelchair.
