Chapter 953: Lin Rui’s Plan

When Lin Rui’s memory was restored by Ghost Rider’s Penance Gaze, he also absorbed all the events that had occurred during the time he had lost his memory. This is why he was able to adapt to the critical situation so quickly. 

It was also fortunate that Lin Rui had not done anything harmful in his life, otherwise, he might have faced consequences under the judgment of the Penance Gaze.

After his memory was restored, Lin Rui used his knowledge of the Ghost Rider plot to help Johnny. It was beyond his expectations that the local police would invite SHIELD to assist. This is why he left a device in the motel room to send messages at regular intervals. 

The message that Lin Rui sent to JARVIS was to allow JARVIS and SHIELD to communicate. He wanted to prevent those who were not aware of the situation from interfering. Lin Rui preferred that he and Johnny would handle it themselves.

Lin Rui’s actions did carry some risk. JARVIS would know that the message was sent by Lin Rui and would likely mobilize a lot of resources to find him. However, Lin Rui and Bucky had left Rochester before SHIELD could locate them. They disguised themselves and used their professional skills to evade surveillance cameras along the way.

After leaving Rochester, Lin Rui had no fixed destination. Although he remembered some of the plots, the current timeline was completely different from what he remembered. 

Therefore, he did not know what might happen next. Nevertheless, he felt it was best to stay by Bucky’s side. The longer he spent with Bucky, the more he felt that he could help the Winter Soldier.

If the next plot centers around the Winter Soldier, then Bucky will likely be discovered by SHIELD soon. In the original plot, Rogers turns against Tony in order to protect Bucky, leading to a civil war. However, with Lin Rui present, he will try to prevent this from happening.

“In the original plot, it seems that someone used the attack on the head of Wakanda to frame Bucky, causing him to come back into SHIELD’s view and leading to a confrontation between Rogers and Tony. That person seems to have a lot of resentment towards superheroes because their relatives were affected by the war, and they planned a huge action to cause a civil war among the superheroes.” As he shopped for food in the supermarket, Lin Rui recalled some plots involving the Winter Soldier in his mind.

“However, since the New York War or the Ultron crisis has not yet happened, does that mean that the victim has not appeared and no one will do these things behind the scenes?” Lin Rui continued to think as he walked to the cashier with his purchases.

“Hello, I need to pay for these items,” Lin Rui said as he approached the cashier and caught the attention of the girl who was playing with her phone.

“Oh, sorry,” she said, putting down her phone and leaning forward to begin the transaction. “That will be $37.50.”

After paying for his items, Lin Rui was ready to leave the supermarket. However, just as he was walking towards the door, a middle-aged man who looked a bit downcast approached the store. He greeted the cashier and then walked toward the food shelves at the back of the store. A fat man also entered the store behind him.

“Hey! Scott, you just got out? Are you gonna throw a party for yourself?” the fat man who followed behind the downcast middle-aged man shouted. His accent had a distinct Mexican flavor.

“Not in the mood,” Scott replied without looking back as he searched for food on the shelves.

“You can’t always be like this! Do you have any plans for the future?” The chubby Mexican asked as he walked up to Scott’s side.

“I just want to find a simple job and see my daughter often…”

Lin Rui only overheard this much before pushing open the door and leaving the store. It seems that the downcast middle-aged man had recently been released from prison and had lost both his career and family. While there are many people like this in the world, Lin Rui cannot pay attention to every one of them.

Lin Rui returned to the simple motel where he and Bucky were staying instead of continuing to shop. On the way, he continued to think about what might happen next.

Although the New York War and the Ultron incident have not yet occurred, Lin Rui cannot guarantee that there will not be any other events that could lead to a civil war because the timeline is now disrupted. He feels that the forces at play in the world will not allow these things to pass easily.

“No matter what, I will try my best to prevent things from happening, just like before,” Lin Rui said to himself as he walked back to the hotel, organizing his thoughts.

Then, Lin Rui walked towards his room.

…

As Lin Rui and Bucky continued their journey with no fixed destination, a bright, multicolored light beam shot through the universe toward Earth. The beam crossed through space, and Earth’s technology was unable to detect its existence or trajectory. 

Just as the colored light beam approached the Earth, it suddenly disappeared, as if it had entered another space.

As the colored light beam in the universe disappeared, strange weather changes occurred on Earth, specifically in downtown New York in the United States. The sky was clear one second before, and the next second it was overcast with thick clouds and flashes of lightning.

The sudden change in weather caught the New York meteorological department off guard. This was because a similar weather change had occurred not long before and was accompanied by a colorful light beam falling from the sky, causing quite a stir in New York.

Although SHIELD had suppressed the arrival of the Bifrost, the public had become aware that the magical weather change and light beam in New York were not so simple after the alien invasion event in London. Therefore, when this severe weather change occurred again in New York, everyone stared at the sky, particularly at the location where the thunder was most intense.

Rumble!

As countless people in New York watched, a violent roar came from the swirling black clouds. Then, a dazzling, colored beam of light pierced through the clouds and shot down in front of everyone’s eyes.
