Chapter 265-267 (1/2)
<hr><hr>
The next day, after looking for a reason to ask for leave from the school, Lin Rui left home early. Thor contacted Lin Rui in the morning. He came to New York by car for the morning s.h.i.+ft.
Now the Golden Trio of the New York Empire State High School are all busy, Harry is out of school because of his company. Peter often changes into Spiderman to stop crimes and he has no time to partic.i.p.ate in various school activities. As for Lin Rui, he also has many things to do, but because he has a good excuse named Tony Stark(interns.h.i.+p at Stark Industries, to help Tony do some experiments or something), his parents would not say much.
Driving his own jeep on the road, Lin Rui remembered that today is Monday. Why is he driving out? !! As he is on the road, Thor will be here long after he finishes the morning rush. If Lin Rui knew it, he would’ve taken the subway himself. Although the subway in New York was dead in the morning, it was better than the road.
Lin Rui, who was stuck in the road, looked at the roadside and saw a large display screen in the building that happened to show a promotional image of Captain America Rogers. Since Captain America’s “Resurrection”, the US government’s propaganda for this hero has never stopped. The streets and alleys are full of Captain Rogers photos and videos.
“Ah! I don’t know if Captain Rogers has found Bucky now. It has been Sixty Years, many things can change in that time. The two good friends don’t know what will happen in the future. However, the progress against Hydra seems to have slowed down a lot recently, isn’t it? Did s.h.i.+ELD give up?” Looking at that huge picture of Steve, Lin Rui couldn’t help thinking.
In addition to the fact that Hydra was decimated by s.h.i.+ELD at first, it was difficult for s.h.i.+ELD to dig up hidden Hydra bases, which resulted in Lin Rui’s current mainline quest process being very slow. It’s been so long and the quest to destroy Hydra’s mainline quest is only finished by 55 percent.
“Will I have to do it myself? But, I don’t know where Hydra is hiding now!” Thinking of his unfinished quest, Lin Rui felt helpless.
“Mom! Spiderman!” Just when Lin Rui was stuck on the road thinking about some things, a stopped to his right side and a little kid put his head out of the window and shouting excitedly while pointing at the sky.
“Baby, don’t put your head out of the window, ok? Spiderman wants to talk to you if he sees it!” Just as the little kid sticks his head out of the window to look at Spiderman, the voice of the little kid’s mother came from next to him.
“Uh …” Lin Rui, who had just extended his head halfway, heard this sentence a little awkwardly, and he seemed to be doing a bad demonstration.
Brus.h.!.+
However, just as Lin Rui thought about whether to retract his head, a red figure had fallen quickly from the air and had landed on his roof before he retracted his head. Boom! It was Spiderman. When he flew in midair, he saw Lin Rui’s little jeep stuck in the ground. He was still wondering why Lin Rui drove out at this time.
“Mom! Spiderman! Spiderman is here!” Seeing that Spiderman had landed in front of him, the child who had obediently retracted his head crawled out again while shouting excitedly.
This time, the young mother didn’t stop her child anymore. On the contrary, she also took out her phone with excitement and seemed to want to take a photo of her child with Spiderman.
“Hey! Spiderman, can you be careful! You almost stomped my jeep!” Because Lin Rui suddenly landed on Lin Rui’s car, Lin Rui, whose half of his head was stuck out of the window, was somewhat frightened. So he looked up at Spiderman on the top of his jeep and complained.
“Why didn’t you go to school?” Peter didn’t care about Lin Rui’s complaining. Peter half-limbed out the roof and whispered to Lin Rui below.
“I am going to the station to pick up someone, but I forgot that it was Monday morning rush. What about you? Were you up late? Are you going to fly to school like this?” Lin Rui replied with his head facing the Spiderman mask.
“Pick someone up? A friend? You still need to drive to pick someone up?” Peter asked curiously when he heard Lin Rui’s answer. Does anyone still pick up a friend at the station? Is it a girl?
“Well, he is a friend. I can introduce you after I settle him in. I think you would be glad to meet him. By the way, it’s not a girl.” Lin Rui turned his head a little bit and answered. In the end, Lin Rui seemed to guess what Peter thought, and made up another sentence.
“Oh, really? Then I’ll come to you in the evening.” Finally, Peter straightened himself on the roof. A few words to Lin Rui are enough. If you continue, you will attract others’ attention.
“Ah! Spiderman! Spiderman!” On the right side of Lin Rui’s car, the boy kept waving at Peter and shouted.
“Hey! Children shouldn’t stick out their body out of the window!” Peter reminded him gently looking at the child sticking out of the window.
Click!
Just as Peter was talking to the kid, the young mother sitting in the car happened to find an angle to take a picture of her child and Spiderman.
“I’m going!” Peter wasn’t planning to stay here anymore. He was really late.
Thwip!
He raised his hand and shot spider silk at the side building, and Spiderman flew out the next moment.
“Ah! Spiderman! Spiderman!” Peter had already flown away, and the kid on Lin Rui’s right was still waving his hands excitedly.
“Ah! Little boy!” With his head back into the car, Lin Rui muttered softly.
After a little more traffic, the traffic finally started to move, Lin Rui’s jeep was driving in the traffic towards the station where Thor would arrive. As for the scene that happened on the road just now, it’s not strange to everyone. Spiderman is the most grounded one in Vigilante in New York. Even if you get lost on the road, Spiderman may appear to help you. Therefore, it is not uncommon to encounter Spiderman on the way to work, and no one has linked Spiderman to the young man driving the jeep.
After another hour, Lin Rui finally arrived at the station. However, Lin Rui had an uncomfortable journey. Lin Rui wants to ask Tony for an anti-gravity car, which is still in the development stage.
Bang!
Slamming the door, Lin Rui gets out. The station that Thor arrives at is not a remote place in Brooklyn, New York. As soon as Lin Rui gets off, she sees a huge crowd of people coming and going in the area, many of them foreigners. After all, many people visit the United States every year, and New York is a city that almost every foreigner comes to.
“Hey! Jackson!” Just as Lin Rui stood looking around the station gate, a rough voice pa.s.sed through the crowd into Lin Rui’s ears.
<hr><hr>
Lin Rui heard Thor’s voice as soon as he walked to the station door, and with Thor’s one-meter nine height, he looked very conspicuous at the station. However, although Lin Rui heard Thor calling himself that he was walking towards him, he did not meet him, instead, he looked in the other direction of the station.
“Hmm? It’s that person, why are they still in New York?” Looking at the familiar figure in the crowd ahead, Lin Rui muttered in a low voice, as if he saw something curious.
Shout!
“Hey! Jackson! What are you looking at?!” Just as Lin Rui was staring in that direction, Thor had strode in front of him, he reached out his hand and waved it in front of Lin Rui’s eyes to say h.e.l.lo.
At this time, in addition to wearing casual clothes, Thor carried a larger bag with some clothes in it. Thor had been living in his girlfriend Jane Foster’s apartment before, and he didn’t have much luggage, so he was thrown out of the house without needing a minute.
“Cough! It’s all right. I saw a friend, but they are gone now.” Turning to face the big man standing in front of him, Lin Rui raises his head slightly and answers simply.
As for the direction in which Lin Rui looked before, the familiar figure had already disappeared, and Lin Rui could only suppress his doubts. After all, it’s no surprise that that person is still in New York.
“Is that so? So what are we going to do? Go straight to a place to live?” Not caring what Lin Rui says about his friends, Thor is now thinking about the rest of his life in New York.
As for the recent break up with Jane Foster, Lin Rui can’t see Thor’s sadness anyway. Is this the Asgard view of love? Or as Loki told Jane Foster before, Thor, who is over 1000 years old, has fallen in love many times in Asgard, and Jane is just a small interlude in his life on earth. Lin Rui could only think like this in his heart as this situation has nothing to do with him anyway.
“Well, I will show you a few apartments for rent that I looked at last night, and I contacted the landlord to go to the house today. You don’t have any luggage, so you can live in directly after you have selected one.” Lin Rui faintly replied.
“Haha! I knew you had the ability to help me! You are indeed my friend!” Thor said happily when he heard Lin Rui’s words, and he reached out to pat Lin Rui’s shoulder.
Huh ~
At the sight of Thor’s outstretched hand, Lin Rui steps back a little and avoids Thor. This big guy is always pat him without holding himself back, so he doesn’t want him to pat him.
“Well, let’s go now. In addition to where you live, you have to think about how you will live in the future. This is Earth, not Asgard! You are no longer a prince here!” Lin Rui, who had escaped Thor turned around and he also reminded Thor as he walked towards his jeep.
“I know, I will go to find a job. I think maybe this is one of the reasons why my father exiled me to the earth. My previous life was spent as the Prince of Asgard, and it was only by not tasting the life of ordinary people that my proud and disrespectful character was formed. If I can live on earth as an ordinary person, I may regain my father’s trust and return to Asgard. ” Walking after Lin Rui towards the car, Thor also speaks seriously.
It seems that Thor’s two months on earth were not entirely fruitless. At least he could see some of Odin’s intentions. If Thor can figure out for himself what his father means, then Lin Rui will be spared from more effort.
Thor is strong, but not nearly as strong as Odin in its heyday. Now that Odin is old, no one knows how long he will be able to rule over and control the Nine Realms, but Thor the Crown Prince is young and proud and he is clearly not ready to take up the mantle of being a King. Therefore, if Thor can change his views and personality while being exiled on earth, he will become the real Thor, a strong man beyond Odin, which is the original intention of Odin to exile Thor. Loki must have seen his father’s intention, so he asked Lin Rui to help Thor.
Hearing Thor’s words, Lin Rui’s eyes flickered, and then he said, “You know it’s all right, then, I’ll help you.”
“Hey! Of course, we are friends!” Thor smiles and pats Lin Rui on the shoulder. This time Lin Rui does not duck.
