In this black and white world, a figure was running in a panic.
Panting heavily, the vertical striped suit on his body looked very retro. It was the kind of outfit worn in old American movies from the 50s and 60s. The running man was even wearing a bowler hat, which was relatively rare in the 21st century. Or at least, other than the elderly or those who participated in the retro fashion week, very few people would choose such an old-fashioned hat.
The running man was called Wade. He was an ordinary Caucasian in his forties, and there was nothing special about his appearance. He belonged to the category of ordinary people who would not stand out even if thrown into a crowd.
Wade had just been chased by a man, a strange man with a strange iron mask. He looked like a mugger on TV. Wade was so scared that he turned around and ran.
Just as he was about to take a small path to avoid the masked man, he suddenly stepped into this black and white world.
This place was too strange. Was this New York? Why was there no color in this world? Why were there so many strange cars on the road?
Wade wanted to find a passer-by on the street and ask his questions.
"Sir, sir, hello!" Wade asked the passerby, but no one in the crowd paid him any attention. He felt that he should be rude and grab a person's shoulder to ask, but his hand directly passed through the person's body.
"This? This... "Wade was instantly speechless. He did not know what had happened. Was he dead? What he needed now was his soul. Otherwise, how could he explain everything that had happened?
Just as Wade was in a daze, a strong hand grabbed Wade's shoulder. An unfamiliar male voice came from behind. "You should go back. This is not a place you should be." As he said that, Wade felt a heavy blow on his neck, and then he fainted.
The person who knocked Wade out was naturally Li Jie. He was patrolling the half-dimensional space as usual. When he found a fragment of the dimensional gap, he was considering whether he should go to another small dimension to take a look.
The man in the striped suit rushed out from the other side of the dimension. Li Jie did not stop him immediately. Instead, he observed him moderately. From various characteristics, Li Jie could be sure that this was a human.
Whether it was his physiological characteristics or various reactions, as well as the way he spoke, it allowed Li Jie to confirm that the other dimension should be a world close to Earth's civilization.
Carrying Wade on his shoulder, Li Jie decided to go to another dimension to see if there was a chance to gain some prestige.
After setting the coordinates with the Guardian's pendant, Li Jie placed Wade on a bustling roadside and injected him with energy. He would probably wake up in half a minute. After suffering a heavy blow from Li Jie, this person would probably have a short period of memory loss.
Moreover, the gap in the dimensional fragment would move over time and was not fixed in the same place, so Li Jie was not worried that Wade would be able to find the dimensional gap again after waking up. Moreover, the gap in the dimension fragment would move over time and not be fixed in the same place, so Li Jie was not worried that Wade would be able to find the dimension gap after waking up.
And now, Li Jie finally had a chance to take a look at this world.
This place looked like a big city on Earth, but it had a different temperament.
Dim street lamps stood on both sides of the road, and the orange light gave off a warm feeling. But where there were no lights, the doorways of the buildings were like the huge mouths of monsters that chose people to devour.
A towering building stood tall, and they ruled the sky above the city. There were no high-rise lights that Li Jie was familiar with, whether it was landscape lights or warning lights.
Their image in the night sky made people unconsciously think of the legendary medieval Mage Tower. Li Jie walked on the road, wearing a gray hoodie. It was not conspicuous on the street, but it was obviously different from this world.
The passers-by at night were in a hurry on the street, looking like they were in a hurry to go home. Most of them were wearing suits and hats that Li Jie had only seen in old movies. These people were paying attention to Li Jie in the hoodie, but no one's eyes stayed on Li Jie for long. At most, they glanced at him and left in a hurry.
Occasionally, a few cars passed by on the street, but they were all old models. Li Jie could recognize some of them. They were classic models introduced by Cadillac in the sixties.
Could it be that this small dimension was actually Earth in another timeline? Li Jie had a rough guess.
He passed by a bar that was still open. In this dark night and the dim yellow light of the city, this was the only place with some color. Because there was a neon sign at the entrance of the bar.
The color of the city made people feel inexplicably depressed, which made Li Jie feel very uncomfortable.
He noticed that there was a poster on the dirty wall of the bar. Perhaps it was more appropriate to describe it as a wanted poster. Li Jie had never seen a real wanted poster in real life. He had only seen this kind of thing in movies and anime.
Just like all movies and TV shows, in the center of the wanted poster was a large portrait of a person. The entire wanted poster was about 25 x 25 cm.
[Wanted poster: New York's most wanted criminal, Nick Fury. Crime: Robbery, first-degree murder, assassination of a city official. Reward: 20,000 USD. Signed by Wilson Grant Pfister, Mayor of the City of New York. Date of issue: October 15, 1965.]
Li Jie was sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. The name that appeared in front of him was indeed Nick Fury. In his own world, S.H.E.L.D. (although he was currently in prison), but in this world, he was a wanted criminal?
However, looking at the photo of the wanted poster, Li Jie could not tell that it was Nick Fury at all. Because although the wanted criminal on the wanted poster was also a one-eyed man, he was a white man.
Moreover, Li Jie could confirm that this was indeed the New York of Earth from another timeline, another dimension!
Just as Li Jie was looking at the wanted poster, he was surrounded by a group of people. There were about a dozen of them, with shoulder-length hair and short-sleeved denim shirts. Their muscular arms were covered in tattoos, and they had purposely grown beards. They also had tight leather pants and pointed leather shoes. From the way they dressed, it seemed that they were not people to be trifled with.
"Kid, this is the territory of the Sky Fire Gang. We don't welcome people like you here." A man violently pulled on Li Jie's shoulder, wanting to drag him to the back and teach him a lesson.
This was an era where racial discrimination was very serious. It was even a very dark era. The man who pulled Li Jie had the words "White Supremacy" printed on his shirt. Just by looking at this slogan, it was obvious that this group of people was related to a certain party.
The man who pulled Li Jie was a bearded man, but he did not pull Li Jie at all. Li Jie coldly looked back at this fellow. This wasn't the dimension he was in, so he didn't mind starting a fight in this dimension.
Just as Li Jie was about to teach this group of people a lesson, something that looked like an iron bucket flew over from afar and made a rumbling noise.
The flying iron bucket was painted a gaudy golden-red color. Li Jie's eyesight was very good. Even from afar, he could clearly see that this thing was not an iron bucket, but a robot.
However, as he was used to seeing robots in his previous life, the sudden appearance of this robot made Li Jie very uncomfortable. This was because this robot had a round body, cylindrical arms and thighs, and a similarly round head.
This kind of robot looked very much like the protagonists of the robot cartoons in the East Ocean in the 60s and 70s, such as Ironman 28 and the like.
"Surrender! This is Iron Man, the defender of justice in New York. Surrender!" the rotund robot said in an unpleasant electronically synthesized voice.
Li Jie, who was just about to teach these guys a lesson, was dumbfounded. Wait, what did this round robot just say? Iron Man? This was the Iron Man of this world? If Tony Stark in his own world saw this, would he feel that this was simply too low?
Just as Li Jie was stunned, the group of gang members who seemed not to be easy to deal with, who were surrounding Li Jie, immediately moved.
The big man who had grabbed Li Jie's shoulder snorted. "Looking for death again? Doesn't this Iron Man know his place? "
"Everyone, pick up your weapons and kill this guy!" The big man waved his hand and a dozen of his men rushed into the bar and then quickly rushed out again, all of them holding various weapons in their hands.
There were assault rifles and shotguns. Li Jie even saw some assault rifles with grenade launchers hanging on them.
Has this world become so chaotic? Although New York in the other world was also chaotic in the 60s and 70s, it was not chaotic enough to use grenade launchers to fight in the city center!
Li Jie did not leave at this time. Instead, he stood to the side and watched the show. This is Iron Man. Even in another world, he is still Iron Man. Although this Iron Man is ugly … Against a group of gangsters with assault rifles, it should be no problem.
Under Li Jie's expectant gaze and the gangsters' gunshots, Iron Man lived up to expectations … and was blown up!
Wait, Iron Man was blown up? Li Jie rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not hallucinating. The round Iron Man was blown up and turned into a firework in the night sky.
The gang members who did all this did not think that they had done anything great. Most of them just snorted a few times or spat on the ground to show their disdain.
The leader of the gang, Big Beard, turned his head and saw that Li Jie had not left. He snickered and said, "Are you so scared that you can't walk? I'll send you on your way in a while! "
After saying that, he pointed the muzzle of the assault rifle at Li Jie's head. At that moment, a voice came from afar. "Stop!" Then, a gunshot rang out.
