Tony had to believe the authenticity of the news that Lin Rui sent back after watching the close-range combat scene on SHIELD. Who would have turned into the terrifying appearance of that skeleton if he hadn’t been cursed by the h.e.l.l demon?
“So this hothead who beat Falcon and a special operations team is still a good guy,” Tony said in a strange tone after watching the video.
It was difficult to imagine Ghost Rider as a good person based on his appearance. After all, appearance is still important, and Tony’s Iron Man suit appears very impressive. And, like Mirage Knight and Spiderman, their battle suits have unique characteristics that do not make people afraid of them.
“According to what Jackson said, he should be considered a good person. However, I’m not sure how Jackson is doing now,” Peter said with concern.
“If he is able to handle this guy cursed by the devil, then since a day has pa.s.sed and nothing seems to have happened, that means Jackson has resolved it,” Tony said. Since there were no further updates on the A-level incident, it seemed that Lin Rui had already taken care of it.
“So, is he not coming back on purpose now? Or is there some special reason?” Peter asked with a frown upon hearing Tony’s words.
“Perhaps both. We don’t really know what Jackson has gone through. The former Thor of Asgard said that Jackson was sent away by countless s.p.a.ce portals in Asgard. At this point, Jackson probably still doesn’t know what state he’s in. However, I think he’ll come back on his own when the time is right,” Tony said, his eyes flashing as he spoke. He seemed much calmer now.
“Then should we just wait like this? We must give a reasonable explanation to Uncle Lin Hai. His son hasn’t been home for a long time,” Peter said helplessly.
“There’s not much we can do, but if you can’t stand it anymore, I’ll go there in person. I think I still have some pull and can’t let JARVIS continue to deceive them like this,” Tony said, knowing that Lin Hai often asked Peter about Lin Rui’s situation.
“So, what are we going to do now, Mr. Stark?” Putting the news about Jackson aside for the moment, Peter, who had just experienced the invasion of Earth by extraterrestrial civilizations, was still interested in continuing this exciting life.
“Now? I have a lot of things to do. As for you… go back and be a good high school student. Spiderman also needs to protect his neighborhood, and I’ll call you if something comes up,” Tony replied seriously after hearing Peter’s question.
Peter: “…”
Then, Tony sent Peter, who was almost recovered, back. Meanwhile, Daredevil left after being aware of a situation that had occurred on the League of Defenders side. In the absence of Mirage Knight, Daredevil needed to return and investigate the situation.
After Peter and Daredevil left, Tony remained on the couch in the underground laboratory, thinking about the series of events that had recently occurred. These events included the search for the Magic Cube, the encounter with extraterrestrial civilizations in Siberia, the appearance of a dimensional s.p.a.ce in London to battle the Dark Elf, and finally, the large-scale invasion of the Dark Elf. These experiences had given Tony and the others a firsthand look at what it was like to fight against an extraterrestrial civilization.
Tony and his alliance were able to successfully fend off the invasion of the Dark Elfs, highlighting the importance of their alliance. This also gave Tony and the others a glimpse of the powerful strength of other civilizations in the universe. In light of the numerous problems facing the Earth, Tony realized that threats from beyond the planet could not be ignored.

“Where did Jackson go? He still has so much to do back home!” Tony muttered to himself as he lay on the couch, feeling helpless.
As Iron Man, Tony, like Spiderman Peter, has had to face more and more challenges and responsibilities. He has come to understand that with great power comes great responsibility. Many of the things they encounter are beyond their control, and they must learn to deal with them as best they can.
In times like these, Tony knows that he needs the help of Lin Rui, a clever and resourceful individual. Despite the fact that Lin Rui has not yet revealed his secret, Tony does not mind. His primary goal is to protect the Earth, and he is willing to work with anyone who shares this goal, regardless of their secrets.
Huh~
“Let’s forget about that kid. He can come back whenever he wants. I just heard from Rogers that there are some leads in the investigation into Killian, so I have to get back to work.” Tony sat up and got off the couch, muttering to himself.
After that, Tony left the underground laboratory. It had been a while since he had seen Pepper, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to rest and spend some time with her to make up for the times when he had been too busy to see her.
…
“Achoo!~~” Just as Tony and Peter were thinking about Lin Rui in New York, Lin Rui, who was wandering in a small city in the northern United States, suddenly sneezed.
“Hmm~ I wonder if anyone is thinking about me?” Lin Rui muttered to himself as he rubbed his nose.
Lin Rui pulled down his baseball cap and walked towards a small supermarket. After leaving Rochester, he and Bucky had stopped a car on the side of the road and continued their journey without a specific destination. However, at this time, Lin Rui had to be more careful not to reveal his face or whereabouts, just like Bucky. After all, Lin Rui felt that he was more important than Bucky and needed to protect himself more carefully.
“I have to make the most of this opportunity for a vacation. Besides, with me by Bucky’s side, I can testify for him if anything happens,” Lin Rui thought to himself as he walked towards the supermarket.
Lin Rui’s memory has indeed been fully restored. When Ghost Rider saw through Lin Rui’s soul with the Penance Gaze that night, his memory had already been restored. However, Lin Rui did not immediately choose to return to his previous life when his memory was restored.
After learning about the Dark Elf invasion, Lin Rui decided not to return for the time being. Tony and the others now have the Elven Holy Spring Water, which allows them to recover quickly, so Lin Rui does not need to worry about them.
Lin Rui also felt that it might not have been a coincidence that he was sent from Asgard to Earth by the Magic Cube’s s.p.a.ce energy and met Bucky. He suspected that many unexpected things may happen during this trip with Bucky.
The encounter with Johnny a few days ago was a good example of this. If Lin Rui had not been strong enough, he might not have been able to help Johnny.
