HOM-CHAPTER 316 LOST WEAPONS

After Lin Rui returned home for a day off, he spoke to his parents about whether they wanted to work for Stark Industries or Oscorp. But, as Lin Rui predicted, his parents who already have stable jobs had no such plans. Still, Lin Rui’s parents are grateful to Tony and Harry for giving them the chance.

There is no other good way that Lin Rui can think of to protect his parents. He cannot force his parents to work at Stark Industries. Therefore, Lin Rui only exchanged two Advanced Guardian Symbols from the System Shop for his parents which cost him five thousand Reward Points.

“This is only thing that I can do for the time being, I hope Hydra won’t have time to make a move on my parents.” Already sitting in a daze in the classroom, Lin Rui silently thinks about his own things, about how to destroy Hydra as soon as possible.

The best way to make Hydra give up on making a move on his parents is to beat them all up and push them behind bars or just outright kill them so that they don’t have a chance to mess with Lin Rui or his family again. Therefore, Lin Rui will hit Hydra in an all-round way from now on, and do his best to complete this goal.

After a few moments, Lin Rui turns to look at Peter, who is sitting next to him. In contrast to Lin Rui’s current lack of interest in the class, Peter is paying attention in the class. As his eyes pass over Peter, Lin Rui’s eyes move to the back of the room. There is an empty seat. It is Tom’s.

Tom has been missing for more than a week now and the Smiths can’t reach him. At first, they had thought that Tom was out having fun and he forgot to contact his family, but now the Smiths already know that something is wrong. When Lin Rui came back yesterday, he learned that the Smiths had already reported Tom’s disappearance to the police. But so far there has been no news.

Looking at Tom’s empty seat, Lin Rui was feeling very uncomfortable. Lin Rui was feeling even down when he remembers how haggard Tom’s parents were when the Smiths came to see him last night to find out if anything was wrong with Tom before he disappeared.

“Don’t worry, Tom, I will save you and get you back here!” Looking at Tom’s empty seat, Lin Rui swears silently in his heart.

“Hey! Jackson, are you okay?” Just as Lin Rui looked at Tom’s seat in a daze, Peter suddenly poked him and asked quietly.

Lin Rui’s little moves have long been seen by the teacher in the class, but Lin Rui is already the best student in the class, and he often works as an assistant beside Tony Stark. Therefore, the teachers in the school do not care much about his frequent leave of absence or daze in class. However, Lin Rui always influences others in this way.

“I’m okay, just thinking about Tom, his parents are very sad now.” At Peter’s warning, Lin Rui turns his head and whispers back.

“Don’t worry, we will definitely save Tom!” Peter said seriously knowing what Lin Rui was worried about.

“Yes, definitely!”

…

After school, Lin Rui plans to go to Tony and talk to him about joining forces to deal with Hydra but his cell phone suddenly rings. After taking out his mobile, he read the screen and realized that it was Coulson. Is there news about Hydra?!! Lin Rui’s spirit quickly picked up.

“Agent Coulson, is there any news about Hydra?” Lin Rui asked immediately after the call was connected, and Peter near him was also surprised and got closer.

“Uh … no, Mirage Knight, there is no news about Hydra as they have gone deep into hiding for the time being.” After hearing Lin Rui’s question, Coulson on the other side of the phone answered awkwardly. If Hydra could be found so easily, they would not have been able to lurk inside SHIELD for so many years.

“So what’s wrong, why are you contacting me? Except for Hydra, I don’t want to be distracted by other things.” Upon hearing that there was no news about Hydra, Lin Rui’s tone went down instantly.

“Well, the follow-up cleanup of the New Jersey Hydra Base is almost complete. Inside, we found a Blade that appears to be your weapon. That’s why I called to see if you wanted me to deliver that blade to you.” Ignoring Lin Rui’s change of tone, Coulson continued.

It turned out that SHIELD had almost completed the follow-up cleanup of the Hydra base, and had also found the Thunder Blade buried in the ruins. Because Lin Rui had used the Thunder Blade many times in his previous fights, SHIELD also clearly knew that the Blade belongs to Mirage Knight, so Coulson made such a call.

And now, Lin Rui’s Thunder Blade is at Coulson’s hand. Before making this call, Coulson also had SHIELD’s weapons department conduct a series of tests on the Thunder Blade. The experimental results have excited those weapons researchers at SHIELD. They have not seen any cold weapon that can have the energy absorption characteristics of the Thunder Blade. Had it not been Mirage Knight’s sword, they would not have returned it so generously.

“Oh, did you find the Thunder Blade? What about Fire God Artillery?” Lin Rui remembered the two weapons that he had left behind at Hydra base when he heard Coulson’s words. It was also during this time that he was thinking about how to deal with Hydra and how to protect his family while also rescuing Tom, and in these thoughts, he had forgotten about these two weapons.

“Fire God Artillery? What’s that?” Coulson asked, frowning slightly, as another apparently weaponized word came out of Lin Rui’s mouth.

While holding the phone, Coulson looked sideways. He is currently in the weapons testing laboratory on the third floor of SHIELD headquarters. Many high-tech weapons that they have harvested from the Hydra base are being tested here. Among them are the force field weapons and shock wave weapons used by the Alpha team to capture Lin Rui. These are weapons that SHIELD has never seen before.

“Well, it’s a weapon with a large barrel-like shape, and it’s mine.” Hearing Coulson’s doubts, Lin Rui went on to briefly describe the most obvious features of Fire God Artillery.

“Is that yours, Mirage Knight?” Although Lin Rui’s description is simple, Coulson is now at the weapon laboratory. He has seen an experimenter holding a weapon similar to the weapon described by Lin Rui.

“It seems that Fire God Artillery is also with you, then let Daredevil bring them over to me, you don’t have to come personally.” Lin Rui went on after hearing Coulson’s words.

“By the way, if you are going to test the Fire God Artillery, it’s best to be careful, it’s a bit powerful.” Lin Rui knew that SHIELD will do some tests on the Fire God Artillery and reminded them.

“Powerful? …” Hearing Lin Rui’s reminder, Coulson just saw that the experimenter had started testing with Fire God Artillery.

Buzz ~

Boom!

Before Coulson could warn the experimenter, the Fire God Artillery had been fired up in an instant. After an instant of charging, a blinding flash of light shot out of the barrel and hit the superalloy wall in front of it, which was used to test the weapon’s power.

When the dazzling light disappeared, Coulson and all the personals in the entire laboratory looked at the alloy wall in shock. The alloy wall that was able to withstand many high-powered weapons was now pierced by the Fire God Artillery. The hole led directly to the weapons warehouse behind the wall.

“Looks like you’ve seen it.” Lin Rui on the phone apparently heard the sound of Fire God Artillery bombarding the wall and spoke softly.

“Uh … that, yes. Mirage Knight …” Coulson suddenly responded when he heard the voice on the phone.

Seeing the great power of Fire God Artillery, Coulson had the intention to keep it here for research, but he would not force it if Lin Rui did not want to. Only if he had just said that he had not seen the Fire God Artillery.

“I know you want to study the Fire God Artillery, so I will lend it to you for a few days. But you are not allowed to destroy it.” Before Coulson had finished speaking, Lin Rui had guessed what he was going to say and had simply and generously agreed with his intentions.

“Thank you, Mirage Knight.” Coulson thanked him heartily. In fact, if it wasn’t for the Thunder Blade relying on internal energy to be used, maybe Coulson would have also asked Lin Rui to leave the Thunder Blade to him for research.

“Well, next time you call, I want to hear about Hydra.” Finally, Lin Rui has hung up.
