Chapter 1029: Chat
Upon hearing Tony mention Rochester and the flaming skeleton, Lin Rui knew that Tony must have already carefully researched the incident from SHIELD.
Although SHIELD didn’t investigate too deeply due to the information Lin Rui provided, what they knew was enough to shock people.
“Is that flaming skeleton really the thing from mythology?” Tony asked again when Lin Rui didn’t answer immediately.
After watching the surveillance footage from the local police in Rochester and receiving information from Lin Rui, Tony had been very interested in the flaming skeleton.
In the past, Tony wouldn’t have believed in anything supernatural like gods, heaven, hell, or devils. After all, compared to aliens, things like heaven, hell, and devils were too magical.
However, after this incident actually happened, Tony felt it wasn’t so difficult to accept. Moreover, Lin Rui was involved in this.
Events involving Lin Rui were never ordinary, and Tony had come to this conclusion after knowing Lin Rui for so long. Therefore, after Lin Rui came back, Tony was very eager to know what had happened.
“Do you not believe it?” Lin Rui asked Tony when he heard him continue to question.
From Lin Rui’s answer, he had already admitted that he was involved in the incident. Anyway, he had no intention of concealing it after he came back.
“Judging from your tone, the flaming skeleton really comes from hell? What about the devil? Have you seen it?” Tony leaned forward with interest and continued to ask.
“In fact, what happened a week ago was similar to the myth I told you about. The flaming skeleton was just a victim controlled by the devil and essentially a good person. Moreover, he didn’t come from hell; he is just an ordinary earthling.” Knowing that Tony was very interested, Lin Rui stopped teasing him and began to explain.
“As for whether hell and heaven exist, to be honest, I’m not sure. But there is definitely another world similar to them that exists. Like the thing that possessed Harry’s father in the previous Green Goblin incident, they should all come from those other worlds.” As for whether devils, heaven, and hell really exist, Lin Rui explained it like this.
“From another world? Was Earth always this lively? Not only do we have invasions from other civilizations in the universe, but now even things from other worlds are joining the party,” Tony said with a blink of his eyes, upon hearing Lin Rui’s explanation.
“Well, that’s why Earth is actually very fragile. For so many years, Earth has been developing safely thanks to strong luck and people who are willing to risk their lives to protect it. And now, the responsibility of protecting Earth has fallen on us,” Lin Rui said with a serious tone, in response to Tony’s sigh.
“I’ve been prepared for this for a long time, and haven’t we always been doing this? By the way, you haven’t explained how you returned to Earth and why you didn’t contact us when you first returned,” Tony nodded and started to ask Lin Rui how he escaped from the countless space portals and returned to Earth.
“I’m not quite sure how I got back to Earth. I guess it was just luck. With so many space portals, I never expected to end up back on Earth,” Lin Rui said helplessly as Tony persistently asked for an answer.
Speaking of his experiences traveling between countless space portals, Lin Rui, who had regained his memories, still had a deep sense of it. Although it was brief, each space transfer allowed Lin Rui to see different worlds and scenes.
Especially, Lin Rui saw the ordinary world he had lived in before. If it weren’t for the mental seed left by the Ancient One in Lin Rui’s consciousness, Lin Rui might have been trapped in that endless space transfer forever.
Although the experience of infinite space transfer, coupled with the help of the Psychic Power seed left by the Ancient One, caused some problems in Lin Rui’s consciousness, he still managed to recover later, at least Lin Rui thought so. Moreover, this experience made Lin Rui feel that his consciousness and the whole person had been sublimated.
In addition, Lin Rui felt that he could now use a small part of the power of the Magic Cube, thanks to that unexpected infinite space transfer. Perhaps, there are many undetectable spatial energies hidden within Lin Rui’s body at this time.
“Good luck? Then your luck is really good enough. I heard from your Asgardian friend Thor that when the spatial portal erupted, they couldn’t even determine where you went.” Tony said incredulously in response to Lin Rui’s answer.
“Indeed, when I was transported by Bifrost to Asgard, I saw countless worlds. You might not believe it, but I even saw you and Peter in an underground laboratory at that time.” Lin Rui shook his head lightly and continued.
Upon hearing this, Tony’s eyes suddenly lit up. Because when Lin Rui was transported by Bifrost to Asgard, Tony and Peter did sense Lin Rui’s existence for a moment in the underground laboratory. At that time, Tony and Peter conducted many experiments trying to find any sign of Lin Rui’s reappearance, but Lin Rui never appeared again.
“So it really was you! Did you experience unimaginable dangers in that situation?” Tony asked seriously, staring at Lin Rui closely.
As a top physicist, Tony understood very well what could happen to a person during infinite space travel. If things had gone wrong, Lin Rui might have been trapped in that transfer energy forever. Even if luck was on his side, he might have been transported to a remote and desolate place or lost in the vastness of space.
“Well, it was indeed very dangerous, but I made it back. Also, I was injured when I returned to Earth through the spatial portal and lost my memory at that time, so I didn’t contact you immediately.” Lin Rui nodded and continued, not hiding his memory loss.
“Memory loss? Have you fully recovered now?” Tony still sounded nervous when he heard about Lin Rui’s memory loss.
“I’ve fully recovered now, don’t worry. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come back.” Lin Rui smiled and reassured Tony.
“Well, I believe you. Anyway, it’s the best that you could come back safely. By the way, did you have any interesting experiences on your solo journey?”
“Well…”
