It was too easy for Lauren to recognize Li Jie. Because no matter how hard he tried to hide himself, the future timelines on him that were as complicated as a spider web, those tangled timelines that represented the infinite future, were unique.
Lauren didn't know why Li Jie was so different, and she didn't care why. Compared to those things, she was more concerned about whether or not Li Jie could really affect those predetermined futures.
He could break those gloomy futures that were like static oil paintings in a frame. So, Lauren didn't hesitate to reveal her identity and special ability. She had had enough of living like a chess piece, which made her feel like she was living in a prison.
She stared at Li Jie one last time. "Whether you believe it or not, this is the last message I'll give you. It's up to you whether or not you can change those possible futures, or let the wheels roll over countless bloodshed. The explosion will happen at the end of the game. All I can see is that his name is Merlin. "
Lauren returned to the auditorium of the basketball court and found an excuse to take her companion away. That was all she could do. She was powerless to change what was going to happen.
Even though she knew how unjust it would be for thousands of innocent spectators to die in an inexplicable explosion, there was nothing she could do. However, there was nothing she could do. If Li Jie really had the ability to change the future, then she would just have to wait and see.
Li Jie watched Lauren and her companion leave the basketball court. It seemed that she wasn't joking.
When Li Jie returned to the auditorium with the three bottles of drinks, Peter couldn't help but complain, "Why are you so slow? You missed a good show just now. Thompson just got back on the court and scored an 11-0 climax. Now Oak High School has been beaten senseless. The point difference is now twenty-five points. I think the rest of the game will be garbage time. "
There were only seven minutes left until the end of the fourth quarter. Oak High School was still trying to catch up, but the point difference was too big. Their efforts seemed to be in vain. The fans in the stadium were in a climax of early celebration.
Li Jie looked around the entire basketball court. The attendance rate of nearly 15,000 people made the entire court look like it was filled to the brim. If what Roland said was true, there would be an explosion here. How many people would be killed? How many people would be trampled to death by the resulting panic?
Li Jie didn't think that Roland was joking. There had to be a reason why Nick Fury valued her so much. Li Jie did not intend to risk the lives of more than ten thousand people to prove that Roland was right.
Especially when there were many students from Metropolitan High School in the audience. He didn't want to attend any of his classmates' funerals in his grade. They still had a long life ahead of them.
"Peter, does your spider sense have any warning?" Li Jie did not care about Peter's complaints and quickly asked. That was because Peter's spider senses were never wrong.
Once any danger was about to happen, Peter's sixth sense would give off a strong warning.
"Why are you asking this? This is a basketball court, not the streets of Baghdad. "Peter shrugged.
"Listen, there's no time. I can't judge the accuracy of the information I just received, but I don't dare to take any risks. " Li Jie whispered to Peter and Harry in a low and quick voice, "There's a guy named Merlin who's going to cause an explosion on the basketball court."
"What?" Peter and Harry had 'are you kidding me' expressions on their faces.
"I'm serious." Li Jie said with a serious expression, "I can't even watch a basketball game in peace. These people who want to cause trouble are all f * cking sick! I'm going to catch whoever is causing trouble. This time, I'm going to kill him! I don't care if he's Hydra or the Mutant Brotherhood or some other organization! "Li Jie couldn't help but curse.
"A good weekend is ruined." Li Jie shook his head. "Peter, your sensing ability can detect danger. I'm afraid you'll need to walk around the audience a few more times to see if you can sense any danger. "
"I'll go to the high ground of the arena later to see if there are any suspicious people. Turn on your communication earpiece and keep in touch with everyone, "Li Jie said simply.
Harry also nodded. "Then you go to the east, I'll go to the west."
The three of them divided up the tasks. Li Jie felt that Roland's ability to predict the future was too inaccurate. She could see that there would be an explosion on the court, but she couldn't see where and how the guy named Merlin would detonate the bomb. This way, Li Jie and the others would have a general goal.
But now, Li Jie and the others could only search blindly for the guy who might cause the explosion in a limited time. As for directly evacuating the fans? Please, there were only six minutes left. How were they going to evacuate more than ten thousand fans without a panic stampede?
If the bomb didn't explode and a bunch of people were trampled to death, that would be the most ridiculous result. Time was passing by. Li Jie and the others were frantically searching for the guy named Merlin in the arena. There wasn't even enough time for them to call for backup.
If Roland had found Li Jie at the beginning of the game and said these words, then Li Jie would have more ways to do this. But now, Li Jie and the others were doing their best and leaving it up to fate. Now, the only thing they could rely on was Peter's spider warning.
And it was during this chaotic moment that Peter was scurrying around the arena trying to trigger the spider warning when he collided with a vendor selling pretzels and popcorn in the arena.
The vendor was knocked down, and the pretzels and popcorn he was carrying spilled all over the ground. Peter quickly helped the vendor up and said, "I'm sorry, brother. Are you alright? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. "
Peter's tone was a little impatient and even a little impolite. Normally, perhaps Peter would be more polite and considerate. After all, he was the one who collided with the vendor. But now, the lives of more than ten thousand fans in the arena were tied to him, and there were only three minutes left before the final bomb detonated. He didn't have time to tangle with a vendor. Just as Peter was about to leave, the popcorn vendor grabbed him.
"You knocked me to the ground, and you're just going to let it go like this?" The vendor didn't look satisfied with Peter's current attitude.
"Okay, okay. Brother, I still have important things to do. I'm sorry for knocking over your snacks. Just take it that I bought them all. Here's a hundred dollars, keep it. " Peter impatiently took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and stuffed it into the vendor's jacket pocket.
He was really in a hurry and didn't have time to tangle with the vendor over such a trivial matter.
"Wait, are you looking down on me? Do you think I'm just selling snacks in the arena, so I'm looking for trouble for a little money? " The vendor didn't seem to care about the fact that Peter had forced him to give him a hundred dollars. He even felt a little insulted.
"So, you just think I'm cheating you of your money, right? I'm just not satisfied with your apologetic attitude! "
"Brother, what the hell do you want! I have important things to do. "Peter struggled to break free from the vendor's hand. The Spider-man's strength was not something that an average person could contend with. In addition, Peter was a little impatient and didn't control his strength well. As a result, the vendor was directly knocked over by Peter's strength and fell to the ground again.
This time, the vendor was really angry. He immediately got up and waved his fist at Peter.
Li Jie, who had been observing the suspicious movements on the field from a high place, also noticed what happened on Peter's side. "Can I borrow your binoculars, sir?" Li Jie borrowed a pair of binoculars from a fan sitting at the highest point of the arena to see what was happening on Peter's side.
"Peter, you found the guy who's going to detonate the bomb? Hurry up and subdue him! "Li Jie thought that Peter was fighting with the suspect.
Peter replied through the earpiece, "No, I'm really unlucky. It's a snack vendor, and I knocked him over. Then they started arguing, and now they're fighting. "
Peter was agile, and the vendor couldn't hit him at all.
"Don't tangle with him, hurry up and leave," Li Jie urged. He used the binoculars to look at the vendor who was entangled with Peter in the distance. The vendor's back was facing Li Jie.
The vendor was a staff member who specialized in selling snacks inside Madison Square Garden. He was wearing a uniform with blue and white stripes. The words "Madison Square Garden Stadium" were printed on his back.
Behind this line of words, the employee's employee number, 606, and his name, Merlin, were printed.
Merlin? Merlin! Li Jie immediately called out to Peter through the earpiece, "He's Merlin!"
"What?" Peter was dazed for a moment, and Merlin actually punched him. Peter stared in disbelief at the peddler who was fighting with him. His eyes, which were originally grey, had now turned blood-red!
At this moment, Li Jie suddenly realized something. What did Roland mean when he said that everything in the future had been predetermined by the past?!
PS: Merlin is a minor character who appeared in Marvel Comics for about three chapters, but he did one big thing. Also, he's not a mutant or a mutant.
PS2: Someone said Roland, please explain. I need a character who can see the timeline, but not too strong. I originally wanted to use Madam Spider from the comics.
But if I used Madam Spider, it would involve the web of shadows and the multiverse, and it would be difficult to control the scale, and the book could collapse at any moment.
