Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 137, Part 55: A Fleeting Dream (Second Update)
2-22, Yoneka-cho.

A six or seven-year-old boy stared blankly at the doorplate in front of him.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?"

Everything before his eyes seemed like a dream, but the boy vaguely felt that he had heard of this place before.

"I feel like I've come here to do something?"

The boy's eyes suddenly lit up when a plump, white-haired old man walked out of the room in front of him.

On this day, a child whose origins were unknown appeared in Professor Agasa's home.

The PhD student only told others that he was the child of a distant relative.

But his neighbor, Yusaku Kudo, always teases the professor about how he was a rascal in his youth and now he has a son.

However, the adopted child did not take Professor Agasa's surname, but instead gave himself a rather strange, Western-style name.

Luca.

Unlike other teenagers his age, Luca doesn't seem to enjoy going out to play. Games, socializing, and sports seem to be of little interest to him.

Only when he came into contact with Professor Agasa's strange and unusual scientific experiments would the boy's eyes show curiosity.

However, this also resulted in young Luca being rather unsociable, with only his neighbor Shinichi Kudo occasionally exchanging a few words with him.

In the world of geniuses, it seems that there is no need for many fellow travelers.

He began working on experiments under the guidance of Professor Agasa at the age of seven.

On the same day, a radio capable of receiving multiple pay channels could be assembled using the available parts.

At the age of eight, he created a miniature circuit board; at the age of ten, he upgraded the existing engine and reduced its size by half.

Solar-powered skateboards, retractable harnesses, power-enhancing shoes, soccer belts—the inventions of young Luca always seem bizarre and whimsical.

One day, Luca, a boy, brought a spherical intelligent robot out of the laboratory and showed it to Professor Agasa.

"Doctor, this is Hello~"

From that day on, the school seemed unable to meet the needs of this gifted boy.

While Shinichi Kudo was still playing a childish high school detective game, the genius Luca's fame had already spread all over the world.

Interviews, investments, recruitment offers—all sorts of invitations poured in like snowflakes for the young man.

But young Luca didn't seem to care much about any of this, choosing instead to stay in Professor Agasa's old house, working day and night on his research, as if nothing was more important than the research in front of him.

However, the world of capital seems to be not as simple as the world of scientific research.

When you choose to reject their olive branch, all the goodwill will turn into a greater malice that engulfs you.

Among these malicious capitalists, the first to act was a mysterious organization whose members all used codenames of world-famous wines.

On the rainy night of Luca's 16th birthday, more than twenty armed men in black silently surrounded the ordinary old house.

Nearly half of these men in black are high-ranking members of the organization with code names.

Sending so many members of the organization to kidnap a defenseless young genius—even Gin, as the leader of the group, felt that his boss was making a mountain out of a molehill.

However, when these well-trained members of the organization broke into the old house...

Instead of being treated like lambs to the slaughter, they were met with countless dark machine gun emplacements and dozens of fully armed black and white intelligent robots.

The massacre began.

But the massacre did not last long.

So quickly, in fact, that by the time Shinichi Kudo, who rushed over after hearing the gunshots from next door, arrived in the yard, all that remained were mangled corpses. Overnight, news of the incident from this old house reached the ears of major powers around the world.

The main reason is that nearly half of the more than twenty men in black who died were spies from various powerful organizations.

FBI, CIA, KGB, MI6, Japanese Public Security Bureau.

In an instant, all the intelligence organizations began to re-examine this young genius in their eyes and quickly discussed how to take the next step.

However, before these intelligence organizations could even come to any conclusions, they did not.

The aftermath of that night did not end there.

Just before the first rays of sunlight were about to rise the next day, countless black and white intelligent robots shot into the sky in perfect unison, soaring straight into the heavens.

When these robots flew out of Beika Town.

Apart from one team of six robots that chose to fly together toward a small island in the continental United States, the remaining robots dispersed, each with its own clear objective.

Next.

In less than a day, all the black-clad organization strongholds hidden in various places were exposed. Some of these strongholds had been identified by various forces, but for various reasons, they did not choose to take action.

But many more are hidden forces that even the organization's own senior management is unaware of.

The six robots flew towards the military base where Karasuma Renya, the leader of the organization who had been hiding for many years, was located.

The once mysterious organization that spanned the world was so easily and simply eliminated.

The remaining major powers all chose to remain silent.

Because no one knows for sure whether these robots are all of them.

Nobody wants to know what the remaining programs will do after the owners of these robots die.

However, the person who started all this seemed to be isolated from the world, never stepping out of his laboratory.

Until one of the robots he released brought back a young chestnut-haired woman whose clothes were somewhat disheveled.

Yeah, it's impossible not to be confused, even though we're both in Beika Town.

But having flown back through the air exposed to the elements, the fact that she can still stand firmly is the last vestige of dignity this genius girl possesses.

Luca stopped what he was doing at the lab table, turned to the chestnut-haired girl, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"APTX4869? That seems like a good research topic~"

next moment.

The whole world seemed to be thrown into turmoil by this one sentence, and everything before our eyes seemed to shatter and turn into nothingness like a mirror image.

Memories intertwine, like a mirage.

When Luca opened his eyes again, he found himself still in the Orange family villa, in his own underground laboratory.

The [Solar Skateboard] that had just been synthesized was still in front of me.

Everything before seemed like a dream.

But the memories he had experienced were deeply imprinted in his mind.

However, before he could carefully reflect on the nearly nine years of experimental experience in his mind...

The dreamlike illusion before my eyes reappeared.

However, this time it didn't dissipate, but rather...
Gather!
