Falsifying history is good business

Whether a suggestion can be adopted often does not depend on whether it makes sense, but on the identity, position, cognitive level and even strength of the person involved.

In terms of identity, Lin You is "just" a corrupt old aristocrat of the "Sunset Empire" who should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago, while Nick Fury is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the highest chief of the intelligence agency with nominal global investigation and law enforcement powers.

From a standpoint, Lin You tends to prioritize protecting the interests of the British Isles, while Nick Fury believes that he is looking at the world from a higher level and has a higher vision and perspective.

In terms of cognitive level, SHIELD and even the entire Muggle world have an extremely superficial understanding of the magical world; the fragmentary information is obviously not enough to support them in making an accurate judgment on Lin You's suggestion.

In light of all of the above, Director SHIELD ultimately has only one choice left - power or weakness.

Suggestions from the powerful are always more likely to be taken seriously; the stronger the power, the more attention they will receive. Although Nick Fury has little knowledge of the magic world, he believes that wizards are ultimately human beings, and the most basic things in human nature are always the same.

So, when Lin You left a message saying "This is the second time I remind you" and Apparated away, the Director of SHIELD jumped up like a frightened rabbit.

"Each department reports its results. How about the energy reaction monitoring data? Electromagnetic, thermal, radiation, sound waves, light waves. Who can tell me a clear result?"

Unfortunately, the final result was exactly what Nick Fury least wanted to hear.

"The target started in Los Angeles, broke into the San Francisco branch, the Rocky Mountain base, and finally arrived at the Washington headquarters. There were a total of four locations, but no effective monitoring data was obtained, sir. The only thing detected was the air movement caused by his arrival and departure."

Nick Fury said angrily, "The target moved over 2,500 miles in two minutes, and you tell me that no energy fluctuations can be detected from him?"

"No, to be exact, there is definitely energy movement in the target, but we cannot detect it. If you really want me to explain it, I can only say that it's just like Leonardo da Vinci couldn't measure nuclear radiation. It's not that nuclear radiation doesn't exist, but that people in Leonardo da Vinci's time didn't understand the relevant knowledge. Our understanding of magic is no more than Leonardo da Vinci's understanding of nuclear energy."

Nick Fury was speechless for a moment, and after a moment he asked, "How is the communication with those 'Purifiers' going?"

"The gains are limited. Every generation, those people would abandon children with magical talents and take the initiative to cut off ties with the wizarding world. To this day, apart from some historical knowledge passed down orally within the family, they know no more about the wizarding world than we do. Our greatest gain over the past few decades is that we have saved a group of children who would have been abandoned. Unfortunately, these children do not have outstanding magical talents. I think it is not only due to the dilution of their bloodline, but also because they have not received formal magical education. Don't wizards have their own education system and institutions?"

"Idiot..." The Director of SHIELD almost lost his temper, "That is to say, the British Earl is still our best way to contact the wizarding world."

"Yes, in the top core of the British royal family and British intelligence agencies, Earl Gove's peculiarity is almost an open secret."

Nick Fury scratched his forehead, trying to keep his thoughts calm: "We need to formulate a more thorough surveillance plan; if we can't find the Forrest Manor and the official level refuses to communicate, then we will start with their family's property. But remember to slow down, take light steps, and never rush..."

"What about Los Angeles?"

"We will maintain minimal monitoring of the Lux Bar and will not contact or interfere with the people and affairs inside the bar."

After repeated consideration, the director of SHIELD felt that there was reason to accept Count Goff's advice and keep a distance from Lucifer; after all, he was the master of hell, and in comparison, SHIELD was indeed just a slightly stronger ant.

However, when the same question was asked to Count Goff, Nick Fury obviously made a completely different choice; in the Director's opinion, although SHIELD is just an ant in Lucifer's eyes, it is a well-deserved behemoth compared to the Forrester family and even the British intelligence agency behind him.

Without mentioning the new targeted deployment started by SHIELD, let’s talk about Lin You. After leaving SHIELD headquarters in Washington, he received a call from God and rushed to the Garden of Eden.

"The Norse pantheon has come to a conclusion," God said straight to the point. "Your quill pen will be needed for the specific implementation."

Lin You asked just as directly: "How to change it?" "All members of Loki's line will be expelled, including Fenrir who killed Odin, and Jörmungandr who died with Thor." God paused for a moment and said, "The plan proposed by the gods is: after expelling Loki's line, Odin cannot increase the number of main gods in the Norse pantheon for any reason or in any way; this plan will take effect permanently, and Odin will swear on the survival of the 'Nine Realms' that he will never violate it."

The writer laughed out loud: "It's like removing the firewood from under the cauldron, and everyone gets what they need! Odin avoided the worst outcome of Ragnarok, and the gods permanently weakened the power of the Norse pantheon. Although Loki was the most pitiful, he also got the opportunity to establish his own sect. It's hard for you to discuss for so long, and finally come up with a plan that is acceptable to all parties."

God seemed to be thinking about something, with a rather emotional look on his face: "It is indeed not easy to mediate such a sharp conflict. There were times when I thought that the world would completely lose the Norse pantheon."

Lin You observed calmly, as if trying to read something from God's expression. After a while, he asked casually, "In the most popular version of Norse mythology, everyone believes that the reborn world and the remaining gods will eventually be under the throne of God. I find it incredible that Odin did not suspect you for this, but instead let you mediate successfully."

"Whether it is a human or a god, whether they act fairly or not can be concluded through observation." God's answer also seemed nonchalant.

"What's going on with the Endless Family?" Lin You seized the opportunity to ask, "They showed up too suddenly, catching me off guard!"

The writer's questions were frank and straightforward. They were not a result of a momentary impulse but rather the result of careful consideration.

The large-scale riots caused by the imprisonment of the Sleepyhead are an undeniable fact. As the author and Earl Goff, Lin Youruo would seem to have something to hide if he did not ask.

"Not only are you surprised, I am surprised too." God answered with equal frankness and calmness, "This is an old story from more than 30 years ago. I always thought that when the first Great World Plan failed, it was completely destroyed and could not be recovered."

"and then?"

"Then, just after our first big world plan failed, the real dimension started the film and television adaptation of this story. As a result, it attracted attention again, and the related story took shape again in the virtual dimension; but it was different from the original comic story and became mainly based on film and television images. However, it was not until the moment of fusion that I discovered these regenerated information fragments."

"I see."

Lin You nodded slightly, as if he accepted God's explanation. He suddenly laughed again: "Lucifer had been complaining before, saying that the blame that shouldn't have been put on Him was forced on Him. He must be talking about the difference between the comics and the film and television content, right? In the comic story, He didn't lose to the Sandman, but the film and television drama changed the result?"

"That's true. In the comic story, Lucifer didn't fight with Sandman, so there was naturally no winner or loser."

Lin You was gloating more and more: "When He comes back, I will let Him tell me everything in detail. The Lord of Hell was defeated on his own turf. I can tell this joke for at least a hundred years. Hey, he wouldn't stay in Hell and not return to the human world because he lost and was ashamed, right?"

God couldn't help but smile: "Who knows? Maybe Lucifer is not that petty, but there are too many trivial matters in hell, and he has been delayed in the human world for too long, so he has to stay and finish his "business" before leaving? I won't simply conclude that he is narrow-minded and can't afford to lose."

"Ha - when we meet again, I will repeat to you exactly what you said; it will save me the trouble of choosing my words. By then, even if He gets angry and embarrassed, it won't be my fault." Lin You laughed heartlessly.

God smiled but said nothing, apparently not taking this childish "prank" seriously.

"The time has come to join the gods."

"Well, it's better to deal with it sooner rather than later when encountering difficulties." Lin You cheered up, "I hope everything goes well. I don't want to go through the experience in the time restricted area again, so don't let any accidents happen again."

"Don't worry, this time is different from the time restricted area. I... and the gods are watching us personally!" (End of this chapter)
