Chapter 415: Thinking about this question
Lin Nan rushed towards Pluto, but he disappeared into the air at an incredible speed. At the same time, the remaining Hydra troops also retreated quickly, and the whole city fell into a strange silence again.
After the battle, the Avengers gathered to discuss the next plan. Tony suggested retreating temporarily and formulating a more detailed strategy, but Lin Nan felt that time was running out and he couldn't wait any longer. He believed that his brother's situation was getting more and more dangerous, and Hydra's plan was also advancing rapidly.
"We can't wait any longer." Lin Nan said to the Avengers, "If Hydra successfully opens the Chaos Realm, the entire world will fall into an unprecedented disaster. We must act immediately to find and destroy their base."
Captain America nodded in agreement, "We will not abandon any innocent person, especially your brother. But we need more information to formulate an effective plan."
Lin Nan understood their concerns, but he also felt the urgency of time. He decided to take action on two fronts. On the one hand, he would cooperate with the Avengers to find the secret base of Hydra, and on the other hand, he would use the secret method of his family to enter the alien world alone to find his brother.
In the dead of night, Lin Nan stood in front of an ancient altar and lit seven candles representing different elements. In the center of the altar was the jade pendant that was connected to his brother. As he chanted the spell, the jade pendant emitted a faint light, gradually forming a crack leading to another world.
"Lin Yu, here I come. He stepped resolutely into the crack.
Lin Nan felt a strong tearing sensation, as if his body was being pulled by an invisible force, and his consciousness gradually blurred in the chaotic space. This was not the first time he had traveled through an alien world, but the feeling this time was completely different from before. His heartbeat accelerated, sweat slid down his forehead, and the scene before him became distorted and weird.
The moment he entered the chaotic realm, Lin Nan realized the danger of this space. This was a realm where the concepts of time and space were lost. An invisible pressure permeated the air, as if to completely crush his spirit. The ground under his feet was sometimes solid, sometimes illusory. Lin Nan took every step very carefully. He could feel a pair of invisible eyes watching him in the dark.
"Lin Yu, where are you..." He silently repeated his brother's name in his heart, but deep in his heart he could not help but feel tired and powerless. Two years of pursuit had exhausted him, and his body and mind were under tremendous pressure. Despite this, he still couldn't give up, because this was his responsibility, and this was his only relative.
Lin Nan walked forward in this strange land, stopping from time to time to observe his surroundings. Memories of the past flashed through his mind, and those times spent with his brother seemed so far away in this chaos. When Lin Yu was a child, he always hid behind him, looking up at him with eyes full of admiration and trust. However, the distance between them seemed to be getting farther and farther.
"Perhaps, I was wrong from the beginning..." This thought suddenly popped up in Lin Nan's mind, and his brows furrowed. Although he always believed that everything he did was for his brother's good, at this moment, he began to doubt whether such protection deprived his brother of the space to grow. On the day Lin Yu disappeared, they had a fierce argument, and Lin Yu yelled at him: "I am not your appendage! I have my own way to go!" This sentence was like a thorn, deeply piercing Lin Nan's heart.
"Perhaps, I forced him to take this path of no return." Lin Nan's mood became heavier, and this feeling of self-blame enveloped him like a shadow, making it difficult for him to let go. He shook his head, trying to get rid of these distracting thoughts, but they were like maggots on his tarsal bones, tightly entangled with him.
Suddenly, Lin Nan's steps stopped. He felt a weak energy fluctuation in front of him. It was Lin Yu's breath. Although it was extremely weak, he would never make a mistake. Lin Nan's heart beat violently, as if injected with new strength, and he ran in that direction regardless of everything.
"Lin Yu! Is that you?" He shouted, but the only response was an empty echo. The surrounding scene gradually became clearer, and he saw a tall tower made of black stones not far ahead. The top of the tower was flashing with a strange light, and it was that light that attracted Lin Nan.
As he approached the tower, he found that the stairs leading to the top were extremely steep, and every step seemed like climbing an insurmountable peak. Lin Nan gritted his teeth, forced himself to concentrate, and climbed up step by step. However, as he moved forward, the invisible pressure gradually increased, and every step he took seemed extremely difficult, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
"I can do it, I will definitely find you." Lin Nan kept encouraging himself in his heart, forcing himself to keep moving forward. However, the fatigue deep in his heart became increasingly difficult to ignore. He began to feel his legs as heavy as lead, and his breathing became rapid and disordered.
"Why... why do I feel so powerless?" Lin Nan stopped, leaning against the stone wall and breathing heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead onto the ground. He suddenly realized that this area was not only testing his body, but also destroying his will. The invisible force came not only from the outside world, but more from his inner fear and doubt.
Just when Lin Nan was about to give up, a whisper suddenly came from the top of the tower. The voice was both familiar and strange, as if Lin Yu was calling him. Lin Nan raised his head suddenly, and a glimmer of hope in his heart was ignited again. He forced himself to move forward.
"Lin Nan, why do you always have to bear everything alone?" This sentence echoed in his ears, and he didn't know whether it came from Lin Yu or from himself. Lin Nan was stunned. He had never really thought about this question. He was always used to taking responsibility, used to protecting his brother, and used to taking all the problems on himself to prove his existence.
"Perhaps, my brother doesn't need my protection..." This thought flashed through his mind, causing Lin Nan to hesitate for a moment. He stood halfway up the mountain, clenching his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. He was afraid, afraid to face such a possible fact - perhaps Lin Yu's disappearance was because he couldn't stand such protection.
However, he immediately suppressed this thought. Lin Nan didn't want to think about it anymore. He couldn't bear such a blow. His brother was his only relative and his only concern in this world. He had to find him, no matter what the cost.
When he finally reached the top of the tower, he saw a shocking scene. Lin Yu was imprisoned in a huge crystal, his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping in an eternal dream. The crystal emitted a strange light, as if it was absorbing Lin Yu's vitality.
