Falsifying history is good business

On September 2001, 9, the entire United States was in chaos; civil aircraft were banned from flying, and Americans wanted to use a magnifying glass to see every bird flying in the sky from head to toe.

However, even if the entire country fell into panic and chaos, it would not affect the Director of SHIELD and Earl Goff.

SHIELD remained highly efficient and found the studio that made the custom wine cabinet in just a few minutes; and Lin You's dimensional space door was more convenient than any manned aircraft.

"I don't quite understand why a home wine cabinet is not built by a furniture workshop but a special music production studio." Lin You looked at the message sent by S.H.I.E.L.D., feeling puzzled.

"Because the purpose of our studio is to let music enter every aspect of daily life." The studio owner who received Lin You was an avant-garde young man in his early thirties, who did not seem very patient when he spoke; he had just been paying attention to the major events happening on the East Coast, but now he had to take time out to receive two uninvited guests.

"Tell me in detail." Lin You tried hard to ignore the other party's overly avant-garde outfit and kept himself calm.

"Do you know vinyl records?" the other party asked.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Lin You asked back.

"Well, since you're not a fool, it's easy to explain." It turns out that people who always dress avant-garde in their daily lives are not only avant-garde in their thinking, but also have little emotional intelligence. They can't even hear the dissatisfaction in Lin You's words; "The surfaces of the furniture ordered from our studio are made of materials and craftsmanship similar to those of vinyl records. You can completely regard them as a record with a special shape."

Lin You understood: "So you can put music on the furniture?"

"It is to infuse any sound; our studio has specially transformed a recording studio, allowing customers to infuse any sound they want on the furniture. It can be a thought-provoking aphorism, a couple's wedding vows, or of course a melody you like. These furniture are installed in your home, and with the onomatopoeia tools we provide, you can restore those sounds at any time."

Lin You asked again, "It shouldn't last too long, right? To preserve vinyl records for a long time, very strict conditions are required. When not in use, a layer of wax film must be applied to them. But the furniture we use daily can't do this. They can't be waxed every day."

"Hey, you're quite knowledgeable. That's right, so the place where the sound is injected is generally in a hidden place that is not easily destroyed, and the content of the injection cannot be too much. Do you want to see our results?" After talking for a while, the studio owner finally remembered that he was opening the door to do business.

"No need. I came here for a wine cabinet that I ordered from you before. Since it is a private order, each customer's product has its own characteristics, and you must be able to remember it easily." Seeing the other party's disappointment and indifference, Lin You turned his head and nodded to Nick Fury; "Where is your ID? It's time to provide this gentleman with some motivation for memory."

The director of SHIELD walked forward with a dark face and took out a black notebook: "FBI..."

When they returned to Lux Bar, Lin You was still confused: "You guys are using the FBI's identities to do things at will, don't they have any objections?"

Nick Fury replied: "When we are abroad, we usually use CIA documents. When we are in Commonwealth countries, we occasionally use MI6. Of course, we also have Israel's Mossad and others. We use whichever is more convenient."

“Is there still a department under my jurisdiction?”

"Does your department have any credentials for public use?"

"Huh?" Lin You suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, no."

Nick Fury curled his lips and stopped talking. If the intelligence agencies of the supernatural world were so easy to infiltrate, would it be necessary for the Director of SHIELD to personally step in and beg for cooperation repeatedly and humbly?

"Let's see what secrets are hidden in this wine cabinet." Lin You took out the onomatopoeia he had "extorted" from the studio. The so-called onomatopoeia was actually similar to the structure of an old-fashioned phonograph cartridge, but it added a large number of electronic components and made some improvements to keep up with the times, making the overall structure compact and exquisite.

"In order... this is the first one." Lin You found the first corresponding grid according to the disassembly order of Luban Lock, placed the onomatopoeia against the side wall of the grid, and moved slowly from top to bottom.

The onomatopoeia amplified by electronic components is a bit sharp and very fuzzy; compared with the clear original sound of the vinyl record, the sound quality can only be said to be better than nothing and can barely be heard clearly.

"Whoever hears this recording will know that I am already 'dead'."

The technique of infusing sound into the surface of furniture was apparently still immature, as only one sentence could be left in one square.

"I hope that the author will discover the secret, not any other god or devil."

"Then it's worth the whole day I spent learning how to inject the sound myself."

After "crossing" three boxes in a row, Lin You couldn't help but complain: "You talk too much nonsense. Don't you know what it means to get straight to the point?"

But if you think about it, it's understandable; if the secret of this wine cabinet is discovered, then it won't make any difference whether Lucifer leaves more or less words. It would be better for him to leave a few more words to make things clear.

Then, the words on the fourth box got to the point.

"I have left more than one clue about the secrets of God and the Endless Family."

"I don't know how many you have received, this wine cabinet is one of them."

Hearing this, Lin You was a little bored; because he had already obtained information about the Endless Family through the Phoenix and the Dream Vortex. Not to mention whether the information in this wine cabinet was repeated with the previous intelligence, just talking about the time, at this moment when the plan to rebuild the Endless Family was completed, what was the point of talking about these things?

The sound machine that was moving across the grid of the wine cabinet stopped, but Lin You quickly realized that something was wrong.

The clues about the bar and the wine cabinet were sent to Nick Fury a year later, and this time point was arranged in advance by Lucifer. Does this arrangement mean that Lucifer believes that the information contained in the wine cabinet does not lose its value due to the passage of time; even if it is made public after the plan to rebuild the Endless Family is completed, it is meaningful?
Thinking of this, Lin You found the sixth grid in the sequence with the voice recorder in hand and scratched it lightly: "The Endless Family is not an independent godhead now. They are all incarnations of God."

Just one sentence made the writer freeze in his tracks. As if he didn't believe his ears, he "wrote" on the same grid twice more, but heard the same sentence each time.

"The current Endless Family is not an independent godhead. They are all incarnations of God."

Nick Fury noticed Lin You's abnormality. He was surprised to see that Count Goff, who was always confident and often showed arrogance without scruples, suddenly had an indescribable fear and uneasiness on his face.

"What's wrong? What is 'endless'? What does God's incarnation mean? Is there something wrong with this sentence?"

Lin You did not answer, but roared in his heart: "What's the problem? It's a big problem!" If Lucifer's words were true, it would mean that the so-called "the gods jointly manage the Endless Family" was a complete lie and conspiracy. The Endless Family would be controlled by their original deity, that is, God; and this control represented more than one-third of the divine power in the entire world, or even close to half.

What would a God who holds half of the divine power and has the ability to fight against the combined forces of all the gods in the world do?
Just thinking about it, Lin You felt his hands and feet cold and his scalp tingling.

If the plan to reshape the Endless Family is a conspiracy to seize power, can you expect the God who promotes this plan to have good intentions towards other pantheons?
Even if you tell this to a dog, the dog won't believe it.

Lin You didn't bother to answer Nick Fury's question, and "slid" the voice recorder one by one in order.

"Because there are too many clones, God's power will be weakened for a short period of time..."

“He will definitely find a way to conceal his weakness, but it is inevitable that traces will be left…”

"Be careful, He will indirectly influence the branch gods and true gods related to the Endless Family..."

"I sincerely hope that this is not the first time you have heard this news through the wine cabinet..."

"That means the remodeling plan is over and God has gotten what He wanted..."

"But if you are really facing the worst situation, don't hesitate..."

"Start right away and make amends. There may still be a last chance..."

"Good luck to you, my friend."

After crossing the last grid, Lin You sat at the bar counter for a long time; he used a long time to sort out the mess of thoughts in his mind.

Lucifer's "message" mentioned a clue to verify the relationship between God and the Endless Family, that is, God will appear in a weak state for a certain period of time. This situation can actually be traced, because Lin You saw it with his own eyes.

When the reshaping plan was being implemented at the most critical moment, several supreme gods worked together to suppress the will of the great world and create opportunities for the writers to rewrite the underlying logic. God's performance at that time gave people a feeling of powerlessness, allowing the will of the great world to be distracted and interfere with the writers' work.

However, at that time, all the gods thought that God was paying attention to the changes in the direction of Hell and preparing to hunt down the "rebel" Lucifer, so they could not concentrate their full efforts.

But judging from Lucifer's message, could God's abnormal behavior at the time be just a cover-up? Was the so-called "distraction in order to capture Lucifer" just an excuse for God to cover up his own weakness?

After all, the holy light that lit up in hell at that time was too dazzling, and no one saw what happened during that time; it was even impossible to be sure whether a battle to hunt down a traitor really took place in hell at that time.

The second point worth noting in Lucifer's "message" is the number of "messages". The master of hell clearly stated that the wine cabinet is not the only carrier of "messages", and it is even just the last one used to make up for the loss; at the same time, the information given by other "messages" is actually consistent with the content carried by this wine cabinet.

Based on this deduction, we can draw an obvious conclusion: the message previously transmitted through the Little Phoenix and the Dream Vortex has been tampered with. The truth about the identity and ability of the Endless Family has been changed from "God's clone" to the innocuous "ability to influence the world outside DC".

It was the difference in the content of the two "messages" that made Lin You more confident in the authenticity of the "message" on the wine cabinet.

If it is not for some other purpose to cover up the truth, why would the content of the "message" be tampered with?
Since Lucifer's "message" could be tampered with, was the time of His "death" also tampered with? Was He really "killed" by God on the day He carried out the Reshaping Plan? Or was He "killed" long before that?

"Are you okay, Count?" Nick Fury looked at Lin You's increasingly gloomy face, and couldn't help feeling uneasy. "Are those words really left by Lucifer? I don't understand a word, but your appearance is starting to worry me."

Lin You glanced at the director of SHIELD and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Mr. Fury, based on your understanding of international geopolitics, if there is such a country in the world; its national strength and military power are absolutely superior to all other countries, even if all countries in the world work together, they cannot be sure to defeat it - what will such a country do?"

Nick Fury also took a deep look at Count Goff, confirming that he was serious and not joking. "If such a country appeared on Earth, I would first ask, do other countries have sufficient nuclear deterrence capabilities?"

Lin You thought about it seriously, and his thoughts fell into the depths of his soul; there was an unremarkable quill pen.

"Perhaps one of these countries has some deterrent power, but it's hard to say whether it's sufficient to be called 'sufficient'."

"That's an easy answer." Nick Fury said confidently, "If the overall policy of that powerful country is reckless, then a war aimed at conquest will soon break out; if that powerful country is relatively cautious, then it will first try to resolve the only country that poses a threat to it."

This answer was not unexpected to Lin You, but when he really heard it, he still couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Thinking about the warning issued by Lucifer at this moment: "Be careful, He will indirectly influence the branch gods and true gods related to the Endless Family..." Lin You couldn't help but be glad for the choice he made when rewriting the background details of the Endless Family.

"Destiny" is not his branch god. The only thing connected to him is the "Book of Destiny" in His hand.

Seeing that Lin You fell into deep thought after asking a question, Nick Fury became anxious: "What happened? Do you need me to remind you of the agreement we reached, Your Excellency?"

"The problem is very complicated and cannot be explained in a short time. If I were to sum it up in one sentence, it would be that a world war between the gods is about to break out."

"World War? Will the consequences be serious?" Nick Fury frowned.

"The gods are fighting, where do you think the battlefield will be?" Lin You asked back.

"Earth? Are you sure?"

"I also hope that my guess is wrong. I hope even more that the words left by Lucifer are all false. But I can't help but prepare for the worst."

Nick Fury was getting increasingly anxious: "What you said is just nonsense. Don't you have anything more constructive to say?"

Lin You's tone was cold, and his emotions were even worse than the director of SHIELD: "Many times, things don't change according to human will. You've also experienced the Cold War. If there were no nuclear weapons in the world, do you think anyone could have prevented the outbreak of the world war?" (End of this chapter)
