American comic: The Succubus Sovereign, Gwen throws herself into his arms at the beginning.

"Good girl." Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Very good, the ideological work has been done.

Next, it's time to assign the "tasks".

“Iris,” Lin Tian looked into her eyes, his tone becoming serious, “I need your help.”

"Tell me! As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely help you!" Iris said without hesitation. She was now filled with the impulse to do anything for the person she loved.

“I need you to stay by Barry Allen’s side,” Lin Tian said slowly.

"What?!" Iris was stunned! Let her stay with Barry?!

“I know this might be a bit unfair to you.” Lin Tian showed an apologetic expression, “but Barry Allen, and the Star Labs behind him, are very important to my plans.”

"I need someone who can get close to them, understand their movements, and even influence their decisions at critical moments."

“And you,” Lin Tian gripped her hand, looking intently at her, “are the only one who can do this, Iris.”

"Believe me, all of this is for a better future for us."

Lin Tian's words were half true and half false.

He really needs Iris as his "insider".

But "for a better future"? Ha!

As Iris listened to Lin Tian's words, her inner thoughts once again began to struggle.

Should she be allowed to stay with Barry? Should she be forced to play the role of a "good friend"? Or even deceive him?

This made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, even a little disgusted.

But when she thought about how this was Lin's request, for their "shared future," she realized...

Finally, Iris nodded with difficulty: "Okay, I promise you. But you can't make me do anything to hurt Barry!"

This was her final bottom line.

83. The shackles of the heart, remotely controlled! Iris is moved, but the poison of love deepens!

"Don't worry," Lin Tian assured with a smile, "I'm not interested in him. I just need to know what he's up to."

Of course, if Barry is oblivious and insists on opposing him, then things might change.

And so, guided by Lin Tian's superb acting skills and masterful rhetoric...

Iris West, the female protagonist who was supposed to become the Flash's wife, not only fell completely in love with him, but also willingly became Lin Tian's "double agent" planted within the Flash team!

Lin Tian looked at the beautiful prey before him, whom he had already manipulated completely, yet who was still immersed in "love" and "a sense of mission."

My heart was filled with a wicked sense of satisfaction.

Very well, the chess piece has been placed. Now it's time to make good use of her to stir up trouble in this world.

We should also go and "visit" that poor Lightning Boy.

I wonder what he thought when he discovered that the girl he loved not only loved someone else, but was even secretly "monitoring" him.

What a fascinating expression that will be!

Lin Tian suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

After spending that passionate and "appointed" morning with Lin Tian, ​​Iris West left the hotel with extremely mixed feelings.

Walking on the familiar streets of the city center, looking at the still busy crowds around her, Iris felt as if she were living in two different worlds.

One is a journalistic world filled with sunshine, friendship, and the pursuit of truth. In this world, she is Iris West, Joe's daughter, Barry's childhood friend, an ordinary girl striving to live a good life and pursue justice.

The other is a secret world filled with darkness, power, and forbidden temptations.

In this world, she is Lin Tian's woman, a "partner" of a mysterious being, a "double agent" who carries secrets and may even have to deceive his closest people.

The stark contrast between these two worlds filled her with a mixture of excitement and fear, sweetness and guilt.

She returned to her apartment and looked at herself in the mirror, radiant with love and exuding a charming allure. She felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Is this still her?

Is she really going to embark on such an unknown and dangerous path for that man?

Reason told her that she should immediately pull back from the brink, stay away from Lin Tian, ​​and get everything back on track.

But the memories of emotions and bodies are like the deepest imprints, making it impossible for her to let go.

She couldn't forget Lin Tian's domineering yet tender embrace, his deep, penetrating eyes that seemed to see right through people, and even more so, the intense, soul-stirring experience of last night.

She discovered that she was completely poisoned.

He was poisoned by a substance called "Lin Tian," and there was no antidote.

"Sigh," Iris 870 sighed and slumped weakly onto the sofa.

Just then, her cell phone rang.

It was Barry who called.

As Iris watched the name flashing on the screen, her heart clenched, and a strong sense of guilt welled up inside her.

She hesitated for a long time before pressing the answer button with trembling hands.

"Hey, Iris?" Barry's familiar yet concerned voice came from the other end of the phone. "Are you alright last night? I came looking for you, but you were already gone. Did those robbers hurt you?"

Hearing Barry's sincere concern, Iris felt even more distressed.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her voice choked with emotion.

“I’m fine, Barry, thank you for your concern,” she said, trying to sound calm. “I was just a little frightened yesterday, so I went home early.”

"That's good." Barry breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, do you know that Asian man who appeared later? Did he give you any trouble?"

Mentioning Lin Tian made Iris's heart race instantly, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed.

"No, no," she quickly denied. "He just happened to be passing by, helped me out, and then left."

She didn't dare tell Barry the truth.

She was afraid to see the disappointment and hurt in Barry's eyes.

Was she also afraid that Lin Tian would be unhappy?

"That's good." Barry didn't seem to doubt it. "But that person is really strange and dangerous. Be careful if you encounter him in the future."

"Okay, I understand," Iris replied guiltily.

The two chatted briefly about everyday things before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Iris felt completely drained, her body limp.

It feels awful to lie to your best friend.

But what can she do?

She has made her choice.

She has no choice but to keep walking down this road.

For Lin's sake, and for their so-called "future".

But she didn't know that the moment she hung up the phone...

Lin Tian, ​​far away at his secret base in the South Pacific, smiled with satisfaction.

"Well done, my little reporter." He had taken in all of Iris's performance through "zero" real-time monitoring.

It seems that the "mental imprint" I planted earlier has been more effective than I expected.

Not only could he sense Iris's emotions and general thoughts at any time, but he could also subtly influence her judgment and choices, making her unconsciously start to protect herself?

well.

This chess piece is becoming more and more useful.

Lin Tian decided to give this "obedient" young reporter a "reward".

He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and transmitted a wisp of extremely weak yet alluring and soothing Hehuan True Qi through that mental imprint, across a vast distance, into the depths of Iris's consciousness!

While Iris was alone in her apartment, feeling frustrated and struggling, she suddenly felt an indescribable warm current surge through her entire body!

It felt like Lin Tian was gently embracing her and whispering in her ear!

All the unease, guilt, and confusion gradually dissipated under the soothing warmth and magical energy!

What replaced him was an unprecedented peace and tranquility, as well as an even stronger longing and dependence on Lin Tian!

"Lin," Iris murmured unconsciously, a blissful, infatuated smile on her face.

She felt as if she had found her final destination.

No matter what the future holds, as long as I can feel his presence, as long as I can give for him...

It seems like it was all worth it?

Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction as he sensed Iris's emotions had completely calmed down and were now filled with "love".

well.

The "remote control" at the spiritual level is remarkably effective.

It seems that this is the way to "manage" and "appease" the "queens" scattered across various worlds in the future?

It saves time and effort, and allows you to keep track of their thoughts at any time.

Simply perfect!

Lin Tian felt even more cheerful.

He began to think about who he should choose for his next "remote flirting" target.

Is it Natasha, the young widow who was chasing after him in Europe and suffering immense inner turmoil?

Is she still the same Spider-Gwen who trains hard in Queens, eager to prove herself?

Or should we just do it together?

Hmm, this idea seems pretty good?

Lin Tian's lips curled into a devilish smile.

It seems that occasionally playing this kind of "emotional remote control" game is a good way to relax after a long period of tedious training.

Since that night when she crossed the line with Lin Tian and willingly became his "informant" within the Lightning Squad, Iris West's life seems to have entered a completely new, yet contradictory and exciting mode.

By day, she remains the same dedicated and capable female reporter, tracking various news events in the city center, maintaining a close relationship with Barry and Joe, and striving to play a "normal" role.

But her heart was constantly occupied by that man who was like a phantom.

Although Lin Tian no longer appeared in front of her as frequently as before, he seemed to be everywhere.

He would provide her with various "exclusive news leads" through anonymous encrypted messages, enabling her to achieve outstanding results in her career and become a hot news star in the city center.

This made her not only enjoy the joy of success, but also rely more on Lin Tian's omnipotent "intelligence capabilities".

He would also, at just the right moment, through that mysterious spiritual link, transmit a warm and alluring "comforting" energy to her when she felt tired, frustrated, or disappointed by Barry's "slowness," soothing the turmoil in her heart and making her feel that she was not alone, as if she were being "watched" and "cared for" by him at all times.

This kind of "remote control" ambiguity and care, like the most exquisite poison, seeped into the depths of Iris's soul little by little, making her dependence on and infatuation with Lin Tian grow day by day, and even begin to look forward to his next "arrival".

She knew this was very abnormal and dangerous.

But she was like a child who craved candy, knowing it might cause cavities, yet still unable to resist the sweet temptation.

She even began to proactively collect all information about Lin Tian—of course, information that had been "zero-screened" and "processed".

She learned that Lin Tian seemed to come from an extremely ancient and powerful Eastern lineage, possessing incredible and mysterious power.

She learned that Lin Tian seemed to be fighting against a more evil and terrifying cosmic force, and that everything he did was for some grander kind of "justice".

She learned that Lin Tian was surrounded by a group of equally powerful and loyal "partners" who seemed to be fighting for a common goal.

This information further shaped Lin Tian into a mysterious, powerful, and tragic hero burdened with a heavy mission, yet forced to walk on the edge of darkness!

This gave Iris a newfound understanding, sympathy, and even admiration for Lin Tian, ​​in addition to her infatuation!

She felt that she was the only person who could understand Lin Tian's inner loneliness and struggle.

She felt it was her responsibility to help him and support him, even at the cost of anything!

It must be said that Lin Tian's combination of "brainwashing" techniques was remarkably effective.
