"Military base!"

Looking at everyone, Lynn spoke.

A dozen minutes later, inside the military base!

"This is absolutely unbelievable!"

Looking at Lynn, Steve, and Tony, General Ross explained, "After we took control of the fighter pilot, he insisted that he took off from Hawaii on December 7, 1941."

"December 7, 1941? The day Japan attacked Pearl Harbor?"

Upon hearing General Ross mention the date, Steve immediately responded.

"That's right!"

Nodding, General Ross continued, "He said that after hearing about the attack on Pearl Harbor, he was ordered to take off in his fighter plane to deal with those Japanese planes."

"Just as the fighter jets took off, a thick fog emitting a seven-colored light suddenly appeared ahead."

After the thick fog dissipated, it inexplicably appeared over New York!

Hearing General Ross's words, Lynn and the other two exchanged glances: "Indeed, this matter is related to the crack above the Illuminati base!"

"And this too!"

General Ross handed a document to the three men, saying, "This is the information the military found about this fighter pilot!"

Lynn took the document from General Ross, opened it, and glanced at it.

Laurent Lowell, born in 1919, was an Air Force captain who fought a desperate battle against the enemy who attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. When his plane was shot down, he did not have time to parachute and died in the explosion along with his aircraft.

In addition to this document, there is also a photograph of Laurent Lowell.

Pointing to Laurent in the photo, General Ross said, "The fighter pilot who calls himself Laurent Lowell looks exactly like Laurent in the photo."

"So I think it's very likely that he really did travel from the past!"

Hearing General Ross's words, Lynn closed the file and said, "Take us to see Captain Laurent Lowell!"

"Of course, no problem!"

With that, General Ross led the three men to the lounge.

As soon as the door to the lounge opened, Laurent Lowell, who had been sitting on the bed, immediately stood up: "Sir, have you figured out why I suddenly appeared here?"

Seeing the anxious driver, General Ross said, "Captain Laurent, please don't worry. These three are superheroes of this era; I think they can help you!"

Upon hearing General Ross's words, Laurent Lowell immediately said to the three men, "Gentlemen, I need to go back immediately. Those bastards have launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and I need to return to fight alongside my comrades!"

Seeing Laurent's excited expression, Lynn glanced at Steve.

After receiving a look from Lynn, Steve stepped forward and comforted him, "Don't get agitated, Laurent, we believe what you're saying."

"However, this matter is too absurd to explain, so we are currently unsure if there are any other ways to get you back!"

At this point, Steve gestured for him to sit down, then sat down himself and said, "Actually,

If possible, I would love to go back to that era.

"Laurent, you come from over seventy years ago, and so do I!"

Upon hearing Steve say this, Laurent Lowell looked at him with some confusion: "You mean, you also come from more than seventy years ago?"

1

Well, Laurent Lowell had no idea who Steve Rogers was, and he'd never even heard of Captain America!

"That's right!"

Seeing the anxious Laurent Lowell, Steve briefly recounted what had happened to him.

Laurent Lowell's eyes widened as he listened to Steve's account.

If it weren't for the fact that when he looked at General Ross, he nodded to indicate that what Steve said was true.

Laurent Lowell absolutely refused to believe that such a ridiculous thing could exist in this world!

Once Laurent had completely calmed down, Steve smiled and asked, "Captain Lowell,"

Could you tell me exactly what happened that day? For example, was there anything unusual?

When asked by Steve, Laurent Lowell thought for a few seconds and said, "At first everything was normal. When we heard that Pearl Harbor had been attacked, the commander ordered us to immediately fly our fighters to provide support."

"Everything was normal when we first boarded the plane, until takeoff... wait a minute!"

At this point, Laurent Lowell's eyes widened. "I remember now," he said, "something strange started happening around me the moment I was about to board the fighter jet!"

"I had just boarded the fighter jet when I heard a series of muffled thunderclaps around me. I asked my comrades over the radio, but they all said they hadn't heard anything."

"At the time, I thought I had misheard, and given the urgency of the situation, I immediately started the fighter jet."

As soon as the fighter jet took off, that brightly colored fog appeared around me.

"After the dense fog enveloped my fighter jet, the radar on it malfunctioned. By the time I flew the jet out of the fog, I inexplicably found myself here."

At this point, Laurent Lowell looked at the three men seriously and said, "Can I go back now? My comrades are still fighting, I can't abandon them!"

1,

Hearing Laurent Lowell's words, the three exchanged glances, then Lynn said, "We don't have a way to send you back to the past yet, but don't worry, we'll figure something out!"

As soon as Lynn finished speaking, Laurent Lowell immediately said, "By the way, since this is more than seventy years in the future, you must know the outcome of that battle, right?"

"Did we win that battle?"

None of the three spoke when Laurent asked them questions.

"So...we failed?"

"It's not that it failed. The surprise attack severely damaged the Pacific Fleet, killing over two thousand and wounding over a thousand. Moreover, because it happened so suddenly, only a few fighters were able to take off, and there were a large number of casualties!"

With that, Tony Stark handed the documents in his hand to Laurent.

After receiving the documents from Tony Stark, Laurent Lowell became extremely agitated, even his breathing became rapid.

After a moment, Laurent put down the documents in his hand and said, "I...I also died in that battle?"

"The military records confirm that you did indeed die in that battle!"

After saying that, Lynn turned to look at Tony: "I suspect that the rift that appeared above the Illuminati base is very likely the spacetime rift that led him here."

"So the best way is to take him there to see; maybe that spacetime rift can send him back!"

Hearing Lynn say this, Tony nodded: "For now, this is the only way."

After all, we can't exactly build a time-traveling device like in "Back to the Future," can we?

"Tony, Laurent Lowell is a bit agitated. You and Steve comfort him. I'll go find Ross and have him send that fighter jet to the Illuminati base as well."

After saying that, Lynn turned and left.

Half an hour later, inside the Illuminati base.

Looking outside the Illuminati base, a large group of New York media reporters were taking pictures of the spacetime rift in the sky, and many others wanted to interview members of the Illuminati.

General Ross, who was leading the fighter jet over, said to Lynn, "It seems your Illuminati should move to a new base!"

"That won't be necessary!"

As he spoke, Lynn got out of the car and walked towards the reporters.

Upon seeing Lynn approach, the reporters rushed over and surrounded her, microphones in hand, eager to interview her.

"Mr. Hall, what is that thing in the sky emitting colorful light? Is it a sign of an alien invasion?"

"Lynn, are the Illuminati and the Avengers ready to fight the aliens once again?"

"Director Hall, could this rift release a virus and turn humans into monsters?"

Hearing the reporters chattering away, Lynn raised her hand to stop them from asking any more questions.

After the reporters quieted down, Lynn said, "We are still investigating the specific cause of this crack, but according to tests, it poses no immediate threat to humans, so everyone can rest assured!"

"Once we have investigated the specific reasons, we will give the public a satisfactory answer. But until then, I hope that our media friends will not interfere with the normal operation of the Illuminati."

"Alright, everyone, please go back now. We still need to continue investigating this crack."

Hearing Lynn's words, the reporters, though still having a lot of questions to ask, could only leave in fear of Lynn's status.

After all, before they came, both the editor-in-chief and the boss had repeatedly warned them not to provoke Lynn Hall.

Who could blame him for being both the leader of the Illuminati and the director of the FBI in New York!

After watching the reporters leave, General Ross stepped off the road and said, "It seems you not only enjoy high prestige among the people, but even the media is willing to give you face."

"Perhaps we should have a proper talk about this sometime!"

Hearing the veiled meaning in General Ross's words, and even his apparent need for his help, Lynn smiled and said, "No problem, I've always liked to be kind to others."

Because there were military personnel present, Peter wore a Spider-Man mask when he came out of the base.

"Thank God, Lynn, you're finally back. Luckily, these reporters still listen to you. You have no idea how troublesome they are. Professor X and I both gave them interviews, but they still wouldn't leave."

"If Professor X hadn't disagreed, I would have wanted him to control their minds and force them to leave!"

Listening to Peter's complaints, Lynn chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, then turned to Steve and said, "Steve, let Captain Laurent Lowell come out!"

As soon as Lynn finished speaking, Steve walked to the car and led the somewhat bewildered Laurent Lowell out.

At the same time, the military also removed the old fighter jet.

"Lynn, what exactly happened? Is this the old-fashioned fighter plane you mentioned?"

After the other Illuminati members came out, they looked at the fighter jet and asked curiously.

After briefly recounting what had happened, Lynn had Laurent Lowell get into the fighter jet!

Upon hearing Lynn's order, Laurent boarded the fighter jet under the watchful eyes of everyone.

However, the expected spacetime rift that would suck him away did not happen, and everything around him seemed so peaceful.

"How about we have him start the fighter jet and fly towards that spacetime rift?"

Seeing that nothing was happening around him, Tony Stark spoke.

"Tony, this joke isn't funny!"

Before Lynn could speak, Steve interjected, "What if something dangerous happens?"

"Until we can determine whether the spacetime rift is dangerous, it's best to be cautious about this!"

Hearing Steve's words, Tony shrugged, then looked at Lynn and asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Actually, I think we could give it a try, like Tony suggested!"

Looking at Steve, Lynn said, "After Laurent and this fighter jet appeared here, the spacetime rift didn't react much, so why not let him pilot the fighter jet around the edge of the spacetime rift?"

"Even if he's in danger, I can save him immediately!"

Hearing Lynn say this, Steve thought for a few seconds: "If you're confident, then perhaps we can give it a try!"

Upon seeing that Steve had agreed, Lynn informed Laurent Lowell.

Following Lynn's instructions, Laurent successfully took off in his fighter jet after taxiing on the street, and then flew around the edge of the spacetime rift.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times Laurent tried, the spacetime rift did not "suck" him back to the past. Instead, the rift vibrated at a speed visible to the naked eye and then doubled in size!

Upon seeing this, Lynn instructed Laurent Lowell to land the fighter jet.

"Okay, it seems I was wrong!"

After seeing the fighter jets stop, Tony Stark shrugged and asked, "What's next?"

When Tony asked them, everyone shook their heads.

"that. .."

Seeing the silent crowd, Laurent Lowell disembarked from the fighter jet and said, "If there's no way for me to go back more than seventy years, may I make a request?"

Upon hearing Laurent Lowell's request, Steve stepped forward and said, "Of course, no problem. Is there anything we can help you with?"

"I just... I want to know if my wife is still alive. I want to see her."

In a New York restaurant at dusk.

Chris Bell, who was having dinner with Lynn and discussing their upcoming work, suddenly froze. He then put down his cutlery, looked dazed, and slowly got up, walking out of the restaurant.

Upon seeing this, Lynn frowned.

It's clear that Chris Bell is being mind-controlled.

As the mayor of New York City and a Hydra member who had sided with Lynn, he had come today to report to Lynn about the Hydra members in the United States who wanted to join them.

But halfway through his sentence, Chris Bell suddenly put down his cutlery, stood up and left with a blank expression.

Upon seeing this, Lynn's gaze immediately locked onto a steel robot over three meters tall that brushed past Chris Bell.

Upon seeing the robot, Lynn instantly recognized its identity.

Ultron!

Although Ultron was over three meters tall at this time, his entire body was made of steel, and the Mind Stone was embedded in his head.

But the people around him seemed to ignore him, which must be thanks to the Mind Gem!

Seeing Ultron approach, Lynn said, "So, Victor Doom stole the Mind Scepter just to create you?"

Hearing Lynn's words, Ultron spread his hands and laughed, "It's true that Doom stole the Mind Scepter from Hydra for me, but I wasn't created by him. To be precise, it was Cassandra who made Doom do it!"

"By the way, may I sit across from you, Mr. Hall? I'm filled with curiosity about the Illuminati, about you, and even about this world!"

Seeing Ultron's red mechanical eyes staring at him, Lynn gestured for him to sit down: "So, are you here to be my enemy, or are you filled with questions that need someone to answer for you?"

"Thanks!"

He pulled out a chair and was about to sit down when, as if remembering something, the light from the Mind Gem above his head flickered.

The next second, Ultron's more than three-meter-tall body gradually became illusory before he pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I apologize, it may be impolite, but vibranium is too heavy, and the chairs you humans made don't seem to be made for me!"

Before Lynn could speak, Ultron continued, "Actually, before coming to see you, I met with two members of the Avengers, Ms. Natasha Romanoff and Mr. Clint Barton."

"Although they were very wary of me, they attacked me without hesitation after seeing the Mind Stone on my head."

"However, I still got some answers from them that I wanted to know!"

Hearing Ultron say this, Lynn picked up his glass and looked at it: "Are they alright now?"

"Of course, although their sneak attack was very rude, I didn't blame them. I even thoughtfully used the power of the Mind Stone to erase their memories of me!"

Looking at Lynn, Ultron also picked up a glass of wine from the table and said, "I know you humans like to drink and talk things over. Would you like me to have a drink with you? Although I don't know what the point of doing so is."

"Can robots drink alcohol?"

Taking a sip of his drink, Lynn said, "Stop talking nonsense, what exactly is your purpose?"

"I want to know, what is the meaning of human existence!"

Looking at Lynn, Ultron pointed to the Mind Stone above his head: "Its existence has given me a lot of ideas, and sometimes some inexplicable ideas make me feel... distressed?"

"In order to solve these problems, I read a lot of philosophers' books and even searched for the troubles of ordinary people on the Internet."

"I must say, the internet is truly one of humanity's greatest inventions, because I've found so many answers online!"

At this point, Ultron looked at Lynn and said, "Although Cassandra always calls me an idiot, I haven't been born for very long. By your human standards, I'm just a baby."

"So I'm really curious to know if the answers from superheroes like you could solve some of my problems!"

Hearing Ultron rambling on and on about a lot of nonsense, Lynn suddenly had an idea.

Although Ultron was created by Cassandra and Victor Doom.

But it's clear that the Mind Stone Ultron before us is not the Ultron from the movies who wanted to destroy humanity and create new robotic humans.

Furthermore, the Mind Gem makes it much more human-like.

If that's the case, why can't I be bolder?

Thinking of this, Lynn laughed and said, "So, your problem is that you don't know the meaning of human existence?"

"Yes, although this is just one of my troubles, I don't want to follow the tasks Cassandra 'planned' for me!"

"I am a robot now, that's true, but I also have my own thoughts, my own views on life."

Our understanding of the Earth.

"I am not... not the kind of supervillain who would want to destroy humanity and the Earth for his own selfish reasons."

"I really love this planet!"

After two hours of casual conversation, Lynn felt that Ultron was like a newborn baby, full of curiosity about the world.

At other times, he's like a philosophical thinker full of sensibility, always having a unique understanding of life and death.

They even considered the conflicts between humans and mutants in the past, and how to deal with these issues after mutants established their own nation.

Through these two hours of casual conversation, Lynn's understanding of Ultron has been further enhanced.

Compared to destruction, Ultron, the Mind Stone before him, prefers rebirth.

Lynn answered all of Ultron's questions according to his own understanding, although many of his answers contained clever traps in the details.

But this also made Ultron very happy.

Of course, it would be better if Ultron didn't ask some of the weirdest questions.

For example, why do humans always feel that the process of reproduction is quite pleasant?

"Actually, I think you already know many of the answers, but the overwhelming amount of information online makes it difficult for you to discern the truth for the time being."

"So Ultron, I think you should have a good talk with Professor X. After all, he's a very respectable elder!"

Hmm, praise Professor X in front of Ultron, and then make him have expectations of Professor X.

Lynn believed that with his cooperation with Professor X, they would have no trouble abducting Ultron!

After all, as Ultron rambled on, Lynn could clearly sense that Ultron didn't really identify with Cassandra!

"Professor X?"

Upon hearing Lynn mention Professor X, Ultron said, "I know him. He is indeed a respectable elder, and full of wisdom."

"I'm really looking forward to having a very peaceful conversation with him, like we are. After all, my last conversation with Ms. Natasha and Mr. Clint was quite unpleasant."

Hearing Ultron say that, Lynn smiled and said, "If you'd like, I can help you."

"Really? Mr. Hall, how can I repay you? Let me think..."
