Chapter 321 Accident
As May arrived, things calmed down in Hora again. Although everyone knew that things would quiet down for a while every month, and everyone was well aware that there would be such a relatively peaceful period every month, people always maintained a certain degree of vigilance during the relaxation process.
Ling Zhan, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed and at ease, just like an ordinary person relaxing in their leisure time.
However, this was not because he was blind to potential dangers, but because he unexpectedly discovered an interesting phenomenon in the process: he did not seem to need to focus too much, and things would always find him in various unexpected ways.
Of course, when important information comes in, Ling Zhan will still treat it with a highly serious attitude.
After all, he knew that all the hardships he had suffered before were due to his own shortcomings.
Now, he is gradually correcting these problems and striving to become more mature and reliable.
It must be said that this rare tranquility is all the more precious.
When not on missions, Coulson would find opportunities to meet with Ling Zhan, and the two would chat like old friends. Their conversations usually revolved around S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra. (Classified information, of course, would not be disclosed unless a deal was needed between them.)
There's still no word from Osborne, but his vital signs are stable, which is good news.
Peter's life is just like theirs, as always, only not as heavy and tragic as Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man's at the moment.
The transformation of Stark Industries has been successfully completed, thanks in no small part to Pepper's meticulous management. Under her efforts, all aspects of the company's affairs have been handled in an orderly manner.
Meanwhile, the development of Stark's suit was also proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner. Stark even excitedly stated that once the development was successful, he would definitely let Ling Zhan see this masterpiece that combined Ling Zhan's armor data and fragments of the Heavenly Palace Armor.
As for Ling Zhan himself, his university life remains the same. He visits occasionally, and people at the school are used to it. However, his social skills are much better than before, so he still has a small circle of friends.
This unhurried and tranquil life, which he may not have found particularly special in the past, now fills Ling Zhan with nostalgia.
He used to dream of becoming a hero in a tokusatsu drama and saving the world from danger.
However, when he actually tried it, he suddenly realized that it was nothing more than a case of loving dragons but fearing them in return.
Don't take on a job you're not qualified for!
Feelings are one thing, but since I'm here, I'll do my best to make a difference.
At the same time, deep in his heart, he still harbored a sliver of fantasy about returning to his original world.
After all, he clearly remembered how he died of suffocation before arriving in this strange place.
That feeling was so real that he could never forget it.
After finishing breakfast, Ling Zhan let out a soft breath and silently prayed that no more unexpected events would occur in the coming days so that he could rest in peace, recharge his energy, and prepare for the upcoming major event of the Avengers.
After praying, he went out.
Ling Zhan rushed to Stark Tower in a hurry, running wildly without paying any attention to his surroundings, and accidentally bumped into a girl.
Ling Zhan's current physical strength is incomparable to what it used to be, not to mention he is wearing magical protective gear.
Given Ling Zhan's current physical strength, which is vastly different from what it used to be, coupled with the magical equipment he was wearing for self-defense, the impact of this collision was considerable.
Most people would probably be thrown off balance by the impact, but for Ling Zhan, the force did not have much of an effect on him.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault for not watching where I was going." Upon seeing this, Ling Zhan quickly reached out to help the girl up and apologized repeatedly.
The first thing he saw was a blanket of white, and his gaze immediately shifted to one side.
As he helped the girl up, his gaze inadvertently swept over her, and the first thing that caught his eye was a field of pure white, which looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
Ling Zhan quickly looked away as if he had been electrocuted, not daring to look at him again.
After all, he accidentally bumped into the other person, so it would be very unethical for him to take advantage of the situation.
He is not the same person he used to be!
"No, it's nothing, it's partly my fault too."
The girl's voice was quite nice, a different feeling from Lixing's.
After the girl regained her footing, Ling Zhan noticed her clothing.
She was wearing a black mini-skirt that reached just above her knees, a black inner layer, a crimson leather jacket, and tall boots.
'Holy crap, that outfit looks familiar!'
Ling Zhan was suddenly startled, and his body stiffened. He slowly raised his head, looking directly at the girl, as if trying to confirm something.
The girl was beautiful, with a stunning figure, a slightly mature beauty, and long, flowing hair. Her appearance, which didn't require much makeup, was something many women dreamed of.
Ling Zhan's mind was filled with familiar warnings, but he just couldn't remember them.
Headache.
Seeing Ling Zhan frown, the girl thought something was wrong and suggested that he go to the hospital to get checked out.
"It's alright, take this. I'm sorry for bumping into you and taking up your time. See you later."
Ling Zhan noticed the broken phone on the ground, apologized, took some money as compensation, and then left in a hurry.
He still has something to give to Stark, which might take quite a while, and he has other plans for the evening.
Before the girl could react, Ling Zhan had already left.
Looking at the money in her hand, she knew the other person had seen the broken phone on the ground. The phone was actually broken to begin with, and she was going to get it replaced today.
It was clearly my own fault for not looking where I was going and getting hurt, yet I still made the other person spend money on me.
That man looked better than most Americans; he looked like an East Asian.
The girl smiled, picked up her phone, and caught a glimpse of a piece of paper out of the corner of her eye.
It looks like that person dropped it, but now it's her turn to be conflicted.
Her brother is waiting for her, but what if this piece of paper is really important and Ling Zhan can't find it when he comes back?
After some deliberation, the girl decided to wait a while. If she exceeded her limit, she could only pray that the paper was not important to Ling Zhan.
Half an hour later, the girl sighed and left.
……
"Wanda, why did it take you so long to get here?"
A tall, silver-haired man anxiously questioned the girl.
The girl named Wanda told the man what had just happened.
"Alright, you've done what you could. It's not your fault. We'll be staying here for a while. Wanda, if you feel bad about it, you can go there from time to time. If that thing is really important to that person, he'll find a way to get it."
“You’re right, Pietro.”
The two chatted as they left.
