Falsifying history is good business

What Lin You said to Nick Fury was half a warning and half a reminder; S.H.I.E.L.D., which has been integrated into the DC world, seems to be a behemoth and has nominal global law enforcement power. In the eyes of others, it has a prominent status, but in Lin You's view, it is in an awkward situation.

A very important reason is that their strength has been greatly weakened - the same is true for Hydra.

This world has no Cosmic Cube, no Stark family, no Kree or Skrulls; therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. does not have super combat forces like Captain Marvel and Iron Man to back it up, and it does not even have an uncontrollable "ally" like the Hulk.

In the future, the only fighting force that Nick Fury can rely on most is Captain America - who has lost his iconic sound-absorbing steel shield after the rewrite; oh, maybe there will also be a Falcon with mechanical flying wings on his back.

These two superheroes are the products of S.H.I.E.L.D. or the U.S. military's own technology and have not been erased by the writer; also retained is the Winter Soldier from Hydra.

SHIELD only has very few combat forces left, and the environment in the big world is more complicated than that in the Marvel world; the founders of the Justice League are also prouder, more opinionated, and more difficult to communicate with than the members of the Avengers.

In the big world environment, if Nick Fury still retains the style of wanting to get involved in everything and wanting to control everything in the Marvel world, he will definitely suffer a lot.

"What? Is there something else?" Lin You saw through the wine glass that the Director of SHIELD was hesitating and he felt impatient.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has recently encountered a difficult problem. We have not been able to find the answer through all scientific means, so we would like to seek the opinion of His Excellency the Count - is it caused by magic?"

Lin You's response was very direct: "Did it happen in the UK? If so, then I haven't heard of any problems in the British wizarding world recently; if not, then it has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to get involved."

"It's not just happening in the UK, it's happening all over the world." Nick Fury hurriedly explained before the other party ordered him to leave. "It happened about three days ago, all over the world at the same time. SHIELD invited physiological and psychological experts from all over the world, but they couldn't explain this phenomenon."

"The whole world, and at the same time? Tell me in detail." Lin You finally became interested. His drunken eyes moved from the wine glass to the face of the director of SHIELD, waiting for him to continue.

Calculated based on the timeline of the big world, three days ago was the moment when the writer started to modify the logical background of the DC world and facilitate its integration with the big world.

Nick Fury was immediately encouraged when he noticed the other party's change of attitude: "Since 1916, a disease called 'narcolepsy' has appeared in the world. This disease has spread irregularly around the world regardless of ethnicity, country, geographical environment and other factors. The symptoms of patients are extremely uniform, and they all suddenly fall into a deep sleep and never wake up. The person with the longest illness has been lying in bed for more than seventy years, from the age of eight to eighty. According to statistics, over the past few decades, more than one million people have suffered from 'narcolepsy' around the world. The vast majority of patients die within a few years or more than ten years. Only a very small number of people who are well cared for survive..."

"Then what happened? These unfortunate people who were lucky enough to survive but had been immersed in a dream for decades and couldn't wake up, woke up together three days ago?" When Lin You heard half of it, his expression gradually became solemn, and his original drowsy state had long disappeared.

Nick Fury frowned slightly: "You knew about this?"

"I'm asking you now." Lin You reminded.

Nick Fury gave in again. "Okay, you're right. A total of 6,377 narcolepsy patients were counted by S.H.I.E.L.D., and they woke up at the same time three days ago. Considering that the caregivers, doctors, and family members may not be able to accurately time, I have reason to believe that they all woke up at the same time, as if someone had pressed the alarm for them collectively. I don't know if you knew it in advance or if you were just guessing, I don't care. I just want the truth, an explanation, an explanation that I can write in the report."

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury was already very humble in saying this - but Lin You still ignored him.

The writer turned his head and looked at the fallen angel, as if to verify: "Sleeping demon?"

Lucifer said nothing, just nodded.

Lin You asked again: "Is this the real reason why you wanted to meet me?"

Lucifer was a little embarrassed and nodded again.

"I told you, how can the Director of SHIELD have such a big face? Dealing with minor troubles on the street? I can't think of a more perfunctory excuse than this." Lin You's face was frighteningly dark. "Why, you were also scared when you found that someone who shouldn't exist suddenly appeared?"

"I just wonder if it's too much to say I was scared?" Lucifer asked.

Lin You said with a sour face: "Because I was scared. Are you sure that someone is not playing a prank on me, and it is indeed Morpheus who appeared?"

"Even if it's a prank, who can use the Endless Family to play a prank on you?" Lucifer asked again, completely extinguishing Lin You's fantasy.

As questions and answers were being asked here, Nick Fury felt uncomfortable and interrupted with dissatisfaction: "You two, there is a poor guy here who is confused. Who can explain it to him?"

"You may not like my explanation." Lin You said with a cold face.

"Everyone loves lies and hates the truth, but whether I like it or not, I have to listen to it," Nick Fury insisted.

"The truth is that there is someone in charge of dreams... Just think of him as a devil... In short, this is not something you can interfere with. I will handle it, so just leave it alone. We'll see each other again if we have the chance in the future!" Lin You impatiently ordered him to leave.

"This is not the truth I want, and I can't use this to get away from my job, Your Excellency. You have to let me know what Sandman is and the whole story..." Nick Fury still wanted to try hard.

"That's not your concern. The Sleepman is an entity that can have an equal dialogue with Lucifer. What else do you want to know? Do you want me to teach you how to defeat the Sleepman, seal Lucifer, and conquer hell? Get out!" Lin You's voice was stern, one louder than the other. The last sentence already carried the divinity of the true God, showing an effect similar to the "Holy Word".

In an instant, Nick Fury lost his mind and walked towards the door in a daze, as if he was under the control of the Imperius Curse.

Lucifer watched coldly and said sternly: "I have never seen you so angry. Do you want to express your fear or cover it up?"

Lin You was upset at the moment, and he was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and retorted: "A Lord of Hell who was so scared that he even threw the house keys to me, how dare you judge other people's fear?"

"I am different from you. I have not been directly targeted. And you... the sleep demon was able to hide from your eyes and integrate into the big world. It can't really be a prank, right?" Lucifer's face was full of gloating. "Since the sleep demon has appeared, the other members of the Endless Family must be involved."

Lin You squinted his eyes and reminded him: "You speak so loudly, which shows that you are very smart. Have you discovered your good father's conspiracy? Why don't you go out and shout on the street?"

"Will your quill pen be monitored by the gods at all times?" Lucifer asked suddenly.

"No." Lin You shook his head and raised his hand as if to pick up a pen, but stopped halfway; "Unless I take it in my hand and prepare to write, the gods will not pay attention." "Then what am I afraid of?" Lucifer spread his hands nonchalantly, "Besides, I am just commenting on a few facts. The first big world plan failed, and the DC story world was shattered like a thousand-layer cake; since then, we have never seen any member of the Endless Family. Now that it has reappeared, I am curious to ask a few more questions, and it won't bother anyone?"

"Just 'reappeared'? You're putting it too simply and too conservatively." Lin You snorted coldly, "When merging the DC world, I carefully checked the world fragments one by one, and did not see any information about the Endless Family. They don't exist in the DC world at all - at least they didn't exist before the fusion."

"But they are here now; how do you think they did it, and what happened?"

Lin You sneered: "I think? Humph, I think a soul came from the real dimension not long ago, and has learned to use the real factor; then it found the endless family information fragments that had collapsed to who knows where and integrated them into the big world."

"It's possible, but the likelihood is very small. Ever since you appeared, the gods have been looking for foreign visitors like you. If there are visitors from a new reality dimension, they cannot be hidden from the eyes of so many gods." Lucifer explained.

"Then there is only the second explanation." Lin You spread his hands, "God personally took action and hid the Endless Family, allowing me to merge with them unknowingly."

DC is God's DC, and God is DC's God; the layers of fragments before the fusion were pieced together by Him. It is very convenient for Him to make changes in this world.

"So what do you think is the reason? Is he deliberately targeting you, or is he simply using you once?" Lucifer asked.

"Maybe it's both situations." Lin You turned his mind over, thinking of some abnormal behaviors and abnormal requests of God during the fusion process.

It is not about confirming the true God by naming him, but about setting a standard line for "becoming a God"; anyone who crosses the line is a "true God."

Lin You was worried from the beginning whether this approach would lead to an excessive number of true gods emerging in the DC world; looking back now, he thought his idea was too conservative, and he ultimately suffered from the complexity of the comic book story system.

When the series was merged, people only focused on the main characters with higher reputations, and never expected that God had hidden a group of "people" in advance. Now it seems that the number of characters who will eventually achieve the status of true God in the DC world may far exceed the expectations of the writers.

The Endless family alone has seven more characters - at least.

DC's Lucifer is bound to occupy a position as a true God, and he is also one of the stronger characters; while Sandman is a character who can fight with Lucifer, and finally seize the flaw to win a small victory.

Even with the bonus of the protagonist's halo, it is enough to prove that the Sleeper has a good foundation; and the seven brothers and sisters of the Endless Family are equally strong.

What worries Lin You even more is that is God going to so much trouble just to have a few more true gods in the Garden of Eden?
Lin You never hesitates to speculate on the true intentions of the gods with the greatest malice.

"I remember that the appearance of a narcoleptic patient was the beginning of the story of the Sandman. The patient's awakening also means that Morpheus has resumed his activities?"

"Uh-huh..." Lucifer responded lazily.

Lin You asked again: "In the story, "He" should have been to hell and had a direct confrontation with you?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Then why are you still here?" Lin You asked in confusion, "Shouldn't you go back to hell and sit on the throne waiting for Morpheus to find you?"

"Why do you think I asked you to bring back the 'key' to hell? Although it was an excuse to meet you, it was not a lie. This key is the most convenient passage. Without it, it would take me a lot of effort to return to hell."

"Can this 'key' be used to lead people?" Lin You asked.

Lucifer smiled and said, "You want to go to hell with me?"

"Why does this sound so awkward?" Lin You complained helplessly, "But it's not wrong. I really want to go to hell."

"Want to see Morpheus?"

“Yes, but the most important thing is not to meet the Sleep Demon, but to see with my own eyes how you were defeated by the Sleep Demon. That scene will surely be circulated in the big world for a long time.” This time it was Lin You who gloated, and he returned all the anger he had been holding back.

Lucifer's face froze, and he immediately remembered the failure in the original plot where he fell short of success.

"Now that I already know the plot..." The fallen angel thought to himself.

"You know what you are thinking, but I suggest you not to do this." Lin You kindly reminded, "According to the original plot, your failure is a necessary step for Morpheus to regain his power; only when he regains all his power can Morpheus become the sleeper who reaches the level of a 'true god'. If you ruin the plot, it means you are ruining your 'father's' plan; do you intend to personally verify how deep His fatherly love is?"

Lucifer's face suddenly fell, full of "worry and anger", and he sighed deeply.

The fallen angel said quietly, "Hell is only Morpheus' second stop. His first treasure fell into the hands of John Constantine. Isn't that exorcist also your friend?"

"What do you want to say?" Lin You frowned slightly.

"I mean, if you really want to see Morpheus, you can contact him through John Constantine."

Lin You disagreed: "Finding Constantine from the vast sea of ​​people is much more difficult than going to hell."

"Not really. I'll help you look for it and I'll definitely find it." Lucifer took the responsibility.

"How can I be so polite? Why are you so polite?" Lin You guessed what the other party was thinking, and pretended to be polite to the fallen angel with a smile.

"No, you're welcome! I'm not being polite at all! I just don't want you to go to hell!" Lucifer cursed. (End of this chapter)
