Chapter 236 Zhang Yuning’s ex-boyfriend

Chapter 236 Zhang Yuning’s ex-boyfriend

Marvel main universe.

Earth, New York.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Zhang Yuning woke up on the subway seat.

She was wearing a shabby hoodie, hot pants and two long white legs with loose canvas shoes.

The hood and hanging hair covered half of his face.

Zhang Yuning's eyes moved slightly and he looked around.

There were only a few passengers sitting sparsely in the empty and old subway car. There were faded graffiti and chewing gum residue on the floor. The cold white lights in the tunnel outside the car window kept flashing.

"Hello fellow passengers, Lexington Avenue has arrived. Passengers who need to get off please..."

When the subway announcement rang, Zhang Yuning stood up without hesitation, walked out of the subway door that slid open, found an exit and walked quickly.

[Welcome to the main world of reincarnation, the main Marvel universe (Earth-616 universe) - SSS level]

[You have obtained a new identity and automatically loaded skills: English Proficiency, Cree Language Proficiency]

[The camp has been randomly selected for you - the Kree Empire camp plot line]

【Please start your reincarnation adventure! 】

A series of cold voices sounded in the back of my mind.

Zhang Yuning stepped out of the escalator.

What hits us is sunshine, air, busy traffic and people, row upon row of high-rise buildings and buildings, honking horns and chaotic conversations one after another, car exhaust and the aroma of ice cream and candy mixed together.

Finally back to the modern world.

"ha……"

Zhang Yuning looked around and breathed out gently.

…

The main Marvel universe is the universe with the largest number of superheroes, the most complete and complete background settings, and the richest major events and plots among all Marvel multiverses.

At the same time, it is also famous in the world of reincarnation.

The hub of reincarnation.

This is the name given to this universe by the reincarnators.

The opening time of the main Marvel universe is said to be as early as that of the Resident Evil movie universe. Some people even suspect that this is the first universe where the world of reincarnation is opened, and the first universe where reincarnators come.

But the Marvel main universe gave a completely different answer than the Resident Evil movie universe.

This place has not turned into some type of doomsday wasteland world because of the messing around of the reincarnators. It is still full of vitality and everything is still competing for success.

Because the background limit of the main Marvel universe is too high.

Not to mention the existences such as the OAA, the Tribunal of Life, and the Five Gods in the background. The earth alone, the so-called "little broken ball", is covered by several heavenly father-level existences.

In the Nine Realms system, the earth belongs to the World Tree Atrium - the "human kingdom" of Midgard, and is protected by Odin from being invaded by other countries in the Nine Realms.

The earth also has a magical protection system constructed by the three holy sanctuaries, which are protected by the Supreme Mage Ancient One to protect the earth from intrusions from other magical dimensions.

The god systems include: Nordic god system, Greek god system, Chinese god system, Egyptian god system...

Government agencies include: SHIELD, Spear, Hammer, Sword...

Civil society groups include: Avengers, Defenders, Illuminati, X-Men, 198, Young Avengers...

There are different corresponding grades in high, medium and low.

Why do reincarnators act so recklessly?

How can reincarnators make waves?

Due to the long opening time, the local natives of the main Marvel universe have reached a strange ecology of balanced coexistence with the reincarnators. Many high-ranking natives not only know the existence of the reincarnators, but have even explored ways to coexist with the reincarnators. model.

It is precisely because of this harmony that the main Marvel universe has become a refuge for many weak reincarnators in the world of reincarnation, a transit point for many travelers from the world of reincarnation, and the well-known "hub of reincarnation."

According to incomplete statistics from the Reincarnation Forum, the main Marvel universe is the universe where reincarnators choose to drop the anchor of the world the most.

Here, you can not only enjoy comfortable and convenient modern life, but also explore the extraordinary and holy ability system. It can be said to be the best of both worlds. Although there is also the risk of being affected by the super war, as long as you don't live in New York, Los Angeles, Latvinia, etc. In this place, this risk is still acceptable.

And Zhang Yuning's visit to the main Marvel universe this time is not at all for a major plot line event.

She glanced at the clock and calendar hanging in the street shop. It was ten o'clock in the morning, which was still early. The shop had not yet closed, so Zhang Yuning decided to enjoy the modern life that she had not seen for a long time.

The sailing life on the cruiser Liema was protected by Fu Qinghai, but after all, it was a space travel life, not so comfortable and comfortable.

She walked into a Prada store on the street, picked out a few black clothes and boots at the counter, changed them in the fitting room, and threw the shabby clothes given by the world of reincarnation into the trash can.

When I got to the checkout counter, I realized I had no money.

The world of reincarnation didn’t give her any money either.

It's not a matter of not enough money, she doesn't have any money.

"Madam, you look so beautiful in this outfit. I suggest you match it with this..."

The black female clerk next to her was still introducing her dutifully.

"well."

Zhang Yuning shook her head and sighed.

Black smoke surged out from her body and quickly dissipated. All the clerks and customers in the store suddenly fell into some kind of hallucination. Run, or pray loudly and squat on the ground with your head in your hands.

Zhang Yuning opened the store door and walked out.

The illusion suddenly disappeared and the luxury store returned to normal. Everyone in the store was in shock and did not notice that there was one missing customer.

But he didn't expect that he would be stared at as soon as he went out.

A young man in a peaked hat approached Zhang Yuning, handed an album in his hand, lowered the brim of his hat and whispered:

"This is your first time in the main Marvel universe. Do you need a reincarnation map of New York City?"

Zhang Yuning glanced at him: "No need."

Zhang Yuning walked forward, but the young man followed him rather persistently and said in a louder voice:

"It's really useful. The new location of the Daily Bugle, No. 4 Youngsey Street Building, Latvian Embassy, ​​Fiske Building, X Manor... can all be found in my map. It only requires 3 assimilation points. It's a good deal. of."

Zhang Yuning ignored him and walked alone.

The young man looked at her tall back and shouted:

"I also work part-time to handle the admission procedures for Empire State University. If you want to be classmates with superheroes..."

Zhang Yuning's back disappeared at the street corner.

The young man sighed helplessly.

…

The reincarnator just now wasn’t lying.

The place names he mentioned are indeed closely related to the characters in the plot. If you often hang out nearby, or directly visit your home, you may be able to connect with the superheroes.

Daily Bugle: J.J. James and Spider-Man.

Building 4 West Young Street: Fantastic Four.

Latvian Embassy: Doctor Doom.

Fisk Building: Kingpin.

X Manor, of course, goes without saying, Professor X.

But Zhang Yuning is not a pure newcomer who has come to the main Marvel universe for the first time. She knows that this is useless. People here are not bumpkins who have never seen reincarnation before.

The same goes for Empire State University.

This college is located in upper Manhattan. It is an Ivy League private school. Its famous students include Emma Frost (White Queen), Peter Parker (Spider-Man), Johnny Stone (Human Torch), etc. The school's motto is "Excellence" "(Excelsior, also a famous saying by Stan Lee), the school features scholarships for students from mutants, superhumans, aliens and parallel worlds.

Reincarnators can be classified into the last category.

But Zhang Yuning is not a newcomer who has just entered the world of reincarnation. She has already passed the stage of needing a scholarship.

Zhang Yuning came to New York's Chinatown, located in the southern tip of Manhattan. The streets were humid and the air was slightly damp, as if it had just rained. She followed the bustling flow of people and walked under the densely extending signboards.

Jinjiang Hotel, Xiyunlai Hotel, Porridge, Noodles, Noodles, Buddha's Destiny, Vegetarian House... Among all the colorful neon signs with traditional Chinese characters, Zhang Yuning found her destination.

"Old Lin CD and video tape rental".

A shabby green sign and a crooked light box.

There is also a line of small words "VCD DVD various discs" below.

Just like any video rental store you can find anywhere in the United States.

But Zhang Yuning knew it was not that simple.

It looks like a video rental store with a bleak business.

In fact, it is a secret prop shop for the reincarnations.

When she pushed the door open, two people just walked out, talking to each other as they walked:

"The big plot event this time should be the 'Kree-Skrull War'."

"That's right, it's spread all over the 616·BBS, and everyone agrees that this is a big incident."

"But we don't even have a spaceship, how can we participate in a war between two interstellar empires."

"Hey, what are you worrying about? We are at our level and want to fight in an interstellar war? We are not qualified to be cannon fodder."

Zhang Yuning ignored their discussion, walked straight to the counter, and pressed the copper bell.

"Dingling bell"

A short, bald, hunchbacked old man walked out from behind the door. He wore a pair of round and thick reading glasses on his rosacea nose.

"Please take a look."

The old man said casually.

Zhang Yuning rolled her eyes:

"I don't understand, speak Mandarin."

"Oh, just take a look."

The old man switched to Mandarin in a second.

Zhang Yuning tapped her fingers on the counter table:

"I am a reincarnation."

"Oh?" The old man pushed up his glasses:

"Understood, please tell me."

Zhang Yuning continued:

“I wanted something a little less popular.”

"What do you want, pretty girl? Let me tell you."

Zhang Yuning stared at the old man's cloudy eyes and said slowly:

"An old movie from 1973, produced by Warner Bros., "The Exorcist."

The old man lowered his head and rummaged through the counter, took out an old video tape, and pushed it in front of Zhang Yuning:

"Give."

Really... Zhang Yuning raised her eyebrows.

"It's not over yet. In 2003, "The Call from Hell" was directed by Miike Takashi."

"Well, this is indeed a bit unpopular. Let me look for it."

The old man turned back and walked back to the inner room. There was the sound of rummaging for something, and finally he came out holding a CD:

"found it."

Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved... Zhang Yuning thought to herself.

"Also, in 1999 in Hong Kong, Wu Zhenyu starred in "The Old Corpse in the Village"."

"You're asking the right person...here, this one."

The old man rummaged through the pile of discs behind him, took out a dusty CD, and put it in front of the counter.

Two discs and a video tape were piled in front of Zhang Yuning.

After inspecting the goods, I am very satisfied.

She named several more names one after another.

"Pennis, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Silent Hill and Return of the Clown, and The Amityville Horror."

The old man shook his head and said:

"There are no discs for these."

"Some are indeed out of stock, and some are because... the last batch of people who came to me to buy discs have died in that universe, and the discs have been left there."

Zhang Yuning was slightly disappointed when she heard this.

"But." The old man added:

"If you really want to go, I can contact the owner to arrange the goods. There are no CDs, only items. The items may not be complete, and the price is relatively expensive. Please consider it."

Zhang Yuning said without hesitation:

"Let them adjust the goods, don't worry, the points will take care of it."

The four thousand points Fu Qinghai gave her are still on her account.

"OK, all right."

The old man slowly took out a piece of white paper and a pen, pushed it on the table, and said:

"Leave your contact information and address. There is no deposit. Full payment is made in advance. It will be delivered to the place where you wrote within three days."

Zhang Yuning thought for a while. She had just arrived in New York. She neither checked in at the hotel nor applied for a phone card. She had to write down the name of a five-star hotel and her own name first.

She lowered her head and wrote.

The old man's dull eyes looked at Zhang Yuning quietly, and reminded him in a leisurely tone:

"Young girl, let me give you a suggestion."

"Silent Hill, the return of the clown, and the ghost chasing the soul. Don't touch these three universes. They are not as simple as a few urban evil spirits or resentful ghosts. This is what Abo said."

Zhang Yuning looked up at the old man, nodded, said "Thank you, old man", and said no more.

Of course, she knew that the world view structure behind Silent Hill and Haunted Hill House was very grand, and it was by no means a mere exaggeration of horror to frighten the audience. But the clown came back, and she didn't know why. Wasn't it a children's horror movie? However, Zhang Yuning still paid attention to these words.

She didn't look down on him just because he was a dying, decrepit old man with a bald head.

Others may not know it, but Zhang Yuning, who was born in the horror movie universe, has heard of this old man's origin.

Perhaps in tribute to the late Xiangjiang filmmaker, he called himself "Lin Ying". He was a reincarnation person who received the orthodox inheritance of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master School. He was known as "Lin Celestial Master" and specialized in catching and playing ghosts in the world of reincarnation. senior Taoist priest.

He is also a guest elder of the "Xingshi", the largest Chinese society in the world of reincarnation, but he has announced that he has "retired from the world." The Xingshi is a large-scale reincarnation society that is as powerful as a perfect human being. Although he claims to have retired, Zhang Yuning is suspicious. The old man is still involved with Xingshi, and the "owner" he talks about might be Xingshi.

In fact, this is not Zhang Yuning's first visit here, but the old man may have forgotten it.

When Zhang Yuning came to the main Marvel universe for the first time, she witnessed with her own eyes that there were three reincarnators, two young guys, two white people and one black man. They bullied the old man for being slow and refused to give him anything when he went back to the inner room to get something. The assimilation points grabbed the things behind the counter and ran away, but the old man didn't chase them and just let them leave with a smile.

Three days later, Zhang Yuning came to New York Chinatown again. Three heads, two white and one black, stood in the middle of Chinatown, with racist insults such as "white pig" and "nigger" written next to them in blood. , but the entire New York City seemed to turn a blind eye. From then on, Zhang Yuning guessed that the old man must be related to the awakening lion.

Zhang Yuning handed the white paper with the address and name to the old man. After taking it, the old man raised his glasses to confirm it carefully, then picked up the landline next to him and started making calls.

Zhang Yuning couldn't understand Cantonese, so she could only wait patiently.

Can one movie be seen within another movie?

Could there be a comic within another comic?

of course.

In the TV series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier", the Winter Soldier explicitly mentioned the Lord of the Rings series and had an argument with Falcon about the difference between "wizards" and "mage".

In the movie "Avengers: Infinity War", Spider-Man proposed to Iron Man to use the method in the old movie "Alien" to defeat Ebony Maw.

There are many similar scenes. In many new movies, scenes that pay homage to old movies frequently appear. It may be a screen on the street or a TV in the house.

And this gives reincarnations many opportunities.

As we all know, knowing the plot is very helpful for reincarnation adventures. However, due to the inability to return to the real world, many unimpressive movies, comics and games cannot be replayed. However, there is such a group of people who specialize in traveling between various places. In the world of reincarnation, collect information about other universes in this universe, including but not limited to game cartridges, video tapes, DVDs, books, comics... and so on.

And make profit from it.

Old Lin's CD and Video Tape Rental is a shop engaged in this business.

After hanging up the phone, the old man lowered his eyes, counted the things in front of him and counted in a low voice, plus the items that needed to be transferred by the owner, and finally gave a quotation:

"There are 786 assimilation points in total. It's your first time here, little girl. I'll give you a total of 780 points."

Zhang Yuning nodded and said:

"I still need ten reincarnation beacons. I won't look for another store. I bought them from you. Give me a discount."

The old man nodded:

"Ten beacons normally sell for 2,000 points. I'll charge you 2,600. Take everything together."

Zhang Yuning paid the assimilation points, successfully completed the transaction, and stuffed two discs and a videotape into her inner pocket. This was a piece of clothing she brought out from the Warhammer 40K universe. There was a pocket sewn on the inside, which belonged to the alchemist Lao. The pocket where Ste solidified the Invisible Telescopic Charm.

Fu Qinghai even gave her this.

The club’s only space equipment.

Fu Qinghai really doted on her.

"Crunch."

At this time, the sound of opening the door came from behind.

Zhang Yuning turned around and looked back. The visitor also saw Zhang Yuning. Both of them were stunned:

"Zhang Yuning?"

"Ran Jianian?"

…

In uptown Manhattan, inside a high-end restaurant.

At the table by the window, a man and a woman sat facing each other.

Zhang Yuning looked at the man in front of her and frowned slightly.

He actually entered the world of reincarnation.

It's really fucked up.

Zhang Yuning thought to herself.

Across the table was a fashionably dressed young man.

Very fair skin, short round hair dyed red, a thin iron chain around his neck, a pair of sunglasses stuck on his forehead, wearing a loose pilot jacket, with a red No. 91 Bulls jersey underneath, Rodman or Artest, who knows? Fat khaki crotchless pants and a pair of Adidas Rose 7 sneakers.

Why did I fall in love with such a man in the first place?

Zhang Yuning thought rather self-deprecatingly.

"When did you come in?"

the man asked.

He looked at the woman in front of him with great interest. She crossed her legs, crossed her arms, and leaned back on the chair. She looked cold and distant... but she was still so beautiful.

No, she is more attractive than ever.

Before entering the world of reincarnation, she was just beautiful, but now, she had a deadly and dangerous feeling, like a black poppy, swaying and poisonous.

"A long time ago."

Zhang Yuning said lightly.

"Oh my god, I really didn't expect that I would meet you again after entering the world of reincarnation. Maybe this is... fate."

The man spoke with emotion and spread his arms.

The woman's eyes were cold and unmoved at all.

Ran Jianian looked at Zhang Yuning's expressionless face, considered his words and said:

"To be honest, after we broke up, I have been..."

Seeing that the woman's face was getting colder and colder, he wisely kept silent.

The waiter brought out two plates of steak, said "please use it with ease" and turned to leave.

"I'm just curious about one question."

Zhang Yuning leaned forward and put one hand on the table.

"When you entered the world of reincarnation, what day of the year and month was it?"

"Well..." Ran Jianian raised his head and thought for a moment.

"It seems to be October 21, I can't remember the exact date."

He put his hands in his pockets pretending to be cool and shrugged:

"I can't help it. I've been hanging around in the world of reincarnation for too long."

Same time as I came in.

Zhang Yuning nodded and said nothing more.

"Yuning." The man stared seriously into Zhang Yuning's eyes and said seriously:

"We had conflicts and misunderstandings at the beginning, but now, the world of reincarnation has given us a chance to start over, and it has given us all a chance to start over. Why should we..."

Zhang Yuning's face remained cold and did not respond.

The man thought for a while, then changed his words. He snapped his fingers, and a wisp of flame floated out from his fingertips.

"You see, I am now a gamma-level mutant. I joined the Awakening Lion not long ago. You should know that I have three reincarnation newcomers under me. I have a foundation in the reincarnation world, Yu Ning , I can give you a better and safer life, follow me, I will apply to the society for you to join my team, and I will give you all the resources the society has given me..."

"Are you done?"

Zhang Yuning interrupted impatiently.

"I'm leaving now."

"Yu Ning, listen to me."

As the man spoke, he reached out to grab the woman's hand on the table, but he didn't expect her to retract back as if she was electrocuted, and shouted coldly:

"Do not touch me!"

Ran Jianian's eyes flashed and his face changed slightly:

"What, you have a boyfriend?"

"snort."

Zhang Yuning sneered, stood up, pulled out the seat, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence:

"none of your business."

"Hello……"

The man turned his head and looked at the woman's leaving figure. He felt unwilling and shouted.

Zhang Yu walked out of the restaurant without looking back.

The steak on the plate was untouched.

…

InterContinental Times Square.

Zhang Yuning stood alone in a red phone booth and dialed a number from memory.

"Dududu..."

"Hello?"

A young male voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Ron, it's me."

Zhang Yuning said lightly.

"Wow, Zhang, you really came to the main Marvel universe."

Ron's voice still sounded happy.

Zhang Yuning told the club that she was coming to the main Marvel universe, and Ron's anchor world happened to be the main Marvel universe, so he gave Zhang Yuning his phone number.

"Ron, I have no money. Do you have any? This is the hub of reincarnation. I don't want to activate my abilities too frequently. If you have money, come over and give me some. It's not assimilation points, but cash, dollars."

"Cash? Small question, where are you? I'll be right over."

Zhang Yuning had just finished reporting her address when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure passing by at the corner of the street.

Um?

She frowned.
