Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 472: Missing Lucifer

The controlled customers in the restaurant were collectively cast under the "Forgetfulness Spell", including John Dee and Ruby, and what happened in that small space was completely erased from their minds.

But the memory of a few people is easy to erase, but large-scale riots are difficult to cover up. Before Lin You intervened, the energy of the ruby ​​had spread to the entire southern United Kingdom, and even crossed the English Channel into northern France. In just one hour, thousands of violent cases broke out; from gang fights to neighborhood fights, many people seemed to have collectively lost their minds at a certain moment, and just because of one or two unpleasant "truths", they escalated from quarrels to violent attacks.

Fortunately, these cases are scattered in different places and among different groups of people, and would not attract special attention if no one linked them to each other.

Naturally, it was Lin You's subordinates who worked hard in the UK; outside the UK, SHIELD quickly noticed the abnormal phenomena and began to associate them, but without key clues, they were confused and could not find a way to investigate.

Through big data analysis, SHIELD investigators identified London as the center of the abnormality, but all investigations ended there and it was difficult to move forward. Their one-eyed director tried to contact Lin You again, but of course he was treated as a read but not replied message.

He threw the sleeping John Dee back to the mental hospital, and sent people to the Ministry of Magic to discuss a joint trial and borrow Dementors as executioners, and then Lin You returned to the manor.

John Dee's abuse of rubies also left considerable aftereffects at Forrester Manor.

Minerva turning into a little crybaby under her brother's strict scrutiny was just a small matter. The biggest problem was the old housekeeper. When he found himself speaking out his true feelings uncontrollably, the awakened old housekeeper seemed to have given up and simply put his idea of ​​urging marriage and childbirth out in the open, no longer hiding it like in the past.

In the end, Diana almost fled, not even bothering to continue "interrogating" the little crybaby. Not to mention Diana, even Lin You couldn't stand the atmosphere at home and hurriedly hid out.

Are you kidding? Legally speaking, the current Earl of Gove is only 18 years old.

Lin You, who had escaped from his home, hesitated again and again and decided to go visit his "old friend" Lucifer whom he had not seen for a long time. Although he could not see it in person, it would not be too much to ask about it afterwards, right?
I have always heard Lucifer complaining, saying things like "It's not my fault" and "I didn't lose" but I don't know the details, so Lin You's curiosity has been piqued. From the perspective of the writer, investigating the Endless Family is also of great significance.

With all these thoughts in mind, Lin You crossed the Atlantic Ocean and North America and came to Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States. Although Lucifer did not tell him what he planned to do after arriving in the United States, Lin You still remembered this part of the plot very clearly.

DC's Lucifer leaves Hell and opens a bar called "Lux" in Los Angeles. Lin You thinks that since Lucifer would rather take the blame for his failure and follow the plot to meet the Sandman, his activities in the United States will most likely follow the original plot.

But the outcome was a little unexpected.

There is no bar called "Lux" in Los Angeles, and even Lin You can't feel the breath of Lucifer in this city.

The change of events caught Count Goff off guard, but he didn't take it too seriously at first. The United States is so big, with so many big cities, it's normal for Lucifer to decide to change his taste. Lin You's way of dealing with it was to summon the little phoenix from Phoenix.

"Lucifer told me last time that He would go to Los Angeles after coming to America. Didn't you find Him? Hey, could it be that He hasn't come back from hell yet?" Little Phoenix knew almost nothing about anything.

Phoenix took Lin Youfei to the door of an eight-story building, pointed at the empty door and said, "This is the building that Lucifer bought. Now we just need to wait for Him to come back from hell to start decorating and opening. He told me that if I want to find Him in the future, I can come here."

Lin You stared at the building for a long time. It was almost empty inside and he could not see anything. He turned back to look at Little Phoenix and said solemnly, "I need you to do something for me."

"what?"

"Go back to hell and find Lucifer - not the real one, but the one who opened a bar in Los Angeles."

The little phoenix had a bitter look on his face and shook his head like a rattle. "No, there is a stench of sulfur over there. I've had enough of it in two thousand years. Why do you care what Lucifer does? He is the master of hell after all. Even if he is just an avatar, it is impossible for him to get into trouble on his own territory, right?"

“But He was supposed to come back.”

"There are tens of millions of demons in hell. Who knows how many troubles they cause every day? Maybe he was just tripped up by some unexpected incident and appeared again after a while."

Seeing Phoenix making all kinds of excuses, Lin You pretended to be angry and said, "What's wrong with asking you to make a trip? Even if it's really a wasted trip, I won't let you make a wasted trip. Do you understand me?"

"Oh...it's not that simple. I'm not Lucifer. It's troublesome to go back to hell, and it's even more troublesome to get out after going back." The little phoenix's miserable look reminded Lin You of his own sister. Minerva would also act like a spoiled child when she was lazy.

The problem is that Phoenix's real age is thousands of years old, and he is still acting like a child? Obviously he is not a good person!
Lin You grabbed the bad bird by the back of the collar and lifted him up, holding him in the air at the same height as his eyes: "Really not going?"

The little phoenix trembled under the gaze of two dangerous people and couldn't say "no" for a long time.

"Just because you don't say anything, does that mean you don't object?" Lin You was very pleased and raised his hand to open a dimensional door. "Since you said it's inconvenient to go back, then I'll give you a ride."

The dimensional door fits perfectly with the entrance of the building under the Lucifer Plate. There is hot magma flowing on the other side of the door, as if there is another world deep inside the building. The stench of sulfur drifts in from the crack of the door and slowly spreads on the streets of Los Angeles.

The little phoenix had a sad face, its limbs were stiff, and it looked back every few steps, but it did not receive any sympathy from Earl Goff. Instead, he urged it repeatedly: "Hurry up, the smell of sulfur is getting stronger and stronger. This stuff is poisonous. If the volcanic ash floats out, I will pluck your feathers and make them into a duster."

Faced with the oppression of the "evil forces", Little Phoenix lowered her head in humiliation and walked into the gate with staggering steps.

The dimensional gate suddenly disappeared, and only the smell of sulfur filling the streets proved that this place was once the closest place to hell.

Not long after seeing Phoenix off, Lin You was still considering whether to go back home and wait, or to wander around the United States, when someone approached him stealthily.

Lin You looked up and saw that the man who came over was wearing a suit and tie, with a wireless communication device that was a bit bulky at that time hanging on his ear. The thick and long wire extended from behind his ear and passed under his collar. From the 1990s to the early 21st century, this was the most common image of agents and official security in film and television dramas.

"From S.H.I.E.L.D., or the FBI? If you dare to say it's the CIA, I will take you to the newspaper office right now and expose the CIA's illegal activities within the United States." Lin You spoke before the other party, and his consecutive sentences almost confused the other person.

"Count... Your Excellency, someone wants to talk to you." The person on the other end took the headset from his ear and handed it to Lin You.

"I'm not used to that. Just tell me where he is and I'll go talk to him face to face."

"He... I... our commander is not here... I mean, for now we can only talk on the phone, and we can't meet right away. If, if you insist..."

"It's tiring to listen to you talk, I'd better let me watch it directly!" Lin You was speechless because of his stuttering. He simply focused his eyes and looked directly at the person who came; "Legendary Mind!"

Two minutes later, Lin You Apparated in front of Nick Fury. At the same time, at least six guns were pointed at him.

"Your confidentiality measures are really good. There are at least three links between the front-line surveillance personnel and you, the director, so I had to use several more magics to find your exact location."

"Two minutes and sixteen seconds, from a front-line agent to the supreme commander of SHIELD - is this what you call 'pretty good'?" Nick Fury asked back with self-mockery.

"Don't belittle yourself, Mr. Director. I'm different from other wizards. Don't use me as a standard. That will only make you feel the pain of incompetence and powerlessness." Lin You comforted the other party seriously, but his tone only made people more angry. "By the way, your predecessor, the Strategic Science Corps, had dealt with wizards as early as World War II. You should have an impression of how capable wizards are."

"Yes, we did have dealings with each other. But the problem is that on the eve of the end of World War II, to be exact, after the dark wizard who collaborated with Hitler was defeated, you disappeared without a trace. Both allies who fought side by side and enemies who confronted each other disappeared without a trace at the same time. How did you do it?"

"The magic world has its own national conditions. If they don't want to pay attention to you, why do you keep pestering them?" Lin You teased, "You should be happy that they didn't take back the magic shield from Captain America; that means wizards - at least decent wizards - still regard you as friends. After all, the goblins responsible for making the shield have always had different interpretations of ownership and usage rights, and they are not so easy to talk to."

In the DC world, there is no vibranium, no sound-absorbing steel, and no adamantium, so Captain America's shield naturally has to find another origin. Strictly speaking, the texture of the rewritten shield and the sword of Gryffindor are quite similar, and have similar "indestructible" properties.

Of course, this also brings a problem similar to that of the sword of Gryffindor, that is, the goblins' claim to ownership of the shield.

"Let's get back to the point. Why are you in Los Angeles, Your Excellency?" Nick Fury knew that the boy in front of him was comparable to the most difficult diplomat, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to negotiate and went straight to the point. "The Exit and Entry Administration has no record of your legal entry."

The Director of SHIELD specifically emphasized the words "legal entry".

Lin You asked back with a smile: "You were able to find me so quickly. Are you monitoring me or the bar? Are you concerned about why I appeared in Los Angeles or why I appeared in front of the bar?"

"As the future owner of that bar, isn't it normal for me to show my interest in it?" Nick Fury also adopted the strategy of asking a counter-question; like Lin You, he was not the kind of person who would reveal information easily.

"The person you sent was not very good. He stuttered and couldn't speak clearly."

"I think a person with firm beliefs and a pure heart is most suitable for the surveillance work there." Nick Fury retorted, "And what the Earl said is wrong. Even if he is the CIA, he will not break the law by acting domestically; because he can be said to be monitoring a foreign target who entered the country illegally - that is, you."

"So, you Americans have always had the habit of spying on your allies, right? Did you tell me something important? Was it the CIA, or S.H.I.E.L.D., or did you all do this?"

Count Goff, who is acting with confidence, gives the Director of SHIELD a headache.

"Let's get back to the point, Your Excellency. Why did you appear in Los Angeles, or in front of the Lux Bar?" Nick Fury asked, hiding his inner nervousness, "Is there something wrong with Lucifer?"

When the name "Lucifer" was mentioned, the director of SHIELD lowered his voice significantly, and the SHIELD members who were a little further away from him could not hear his voice clearly. It was obvious that even within SHIELD, even the core command level around the director of SHIELD, not everyone knew the true identity of the owner of the mysterious bar.

"Are you afraid?" Lin You's sharpness was praised even by God. It was very easy to detect the emotional changes of a mortal, even if that person was the so-called king of agents.

Nick Fury gritted his teeth so hard that his cheeks bulged. He whispered viciously, "That's the master of hell. If something goes wrong in America, who wouldn't be afraid?"

"Don't worry, the end of the world won't happen, at least not so soon." Lin You silently calculated in his mind that the most disaster-causing "disaster stars" in the Justice League are still in their developmental stage. It will take at least another ten years for world-class disasters to erupt frequently.

Only then will he, the Director of SHIELD, be troubled.

Nick Fury certainly couldn't guess what Lin You was thinking, and he didn't care about that: "I only care about Lucifer now; according to the agreement between him and me, he should come to hand over the ownership and decoration of the building at this time. But now not only is he missing, but the woman who often appears beside him is also nowhere to be seen."

"Let me remind you, Lucifer is not a human, and the one next to him is not a human either. You can't even define her as a female, because she is a high-level succubus." Lin You corrected.

"I don't care what he's called. The point of this discussion is not the damn wording."

"Then what else can we discuss? Lucifer is stuck in hell and won't return. What can humans do to him? I want to remind you again, Mr. Director, you'd better have a clear understanding of your own power. In the face of certain forces, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not much stronger than an ant."
