"Please, don't kill me. I'll do whatever you want."

"I'll tell you about A-Train. You want to know about A-Train, right?" The Invisible Man's demeanor had shifted completely. He eagerly spilled all the information he had, willing to cooperate fully.

"Ask me anything. I know a lot about Vought, from top to bottom!" The Invisible Man continued, trying to prove his value to the group.

Butcher and the others indeed had some questions for him, particularly about the mysterious screen.

"This thing," Butcher said, pointing to the screen that had seemingly followed them, "do you know which superhero's ability this is?"

The Invisible Man, being a member of The Seven, was well-versed in the superhero world. If anyone could recognize such an ability, it would be him.

However, to their surprise, the Invisible Man looked around the room with confusion, unable to see what Butcher was pointing at.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand," he said. "Are you pointing at the wall?"

There was nothing but the wall where Butcher had pointed.

"Seems like you really want to taste that anal bomb," Butcher threatened, raising the detonator.

"Wait, wait, don't be rash! My life is in your hands; I swear I'll cooperate fully. But I really don't get what you're asking," the Invisible Man pleaded, his arrogance from minutes ago completely gone.

"This screen," Hughie said, trying to explain, "it's floating right in front of us. What is it?"

Despite almost popping his eyes out in an attempt to see, the Invisible Man still couldn't spot the screen.

"What the hell are you talking about? There's no damn screen in front of you!" he shouted.

Butcher, Frenchie, and Hughie exchanged glances, realizing that the Invisible Man wasn't lying. He genuinely couldn't see the screen.

"Right here, can't you see it?" they confirmed further, but the Invisible Man remained clueless.

Not only had he never heard of a superhero with such an ability, but he also couldn't see the screen at all. This only deepened the mystery for Butcher and his team. If it wasn't a superhero's doing, then what was it?

**Real World**

"Ha! Another 100 RMB in the account!" Jiang Cheng was thrilled. Making money had never been this easy.

In less than ten minutes, he had watched four videos and earned nearly 300 RMB, which was almost his daily salary. Not to mention, he had acquired a perfect physique instantly, something that would have taken countless hours and money to achieve otherwise.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng's overall health had drastically improved. His previous lifestyle of long working hours, lack of exercise, and unhealthy diet had left him in a suboptimal state. Now, he was genuinely healthy.

If just one health point had such an effect, Jiang Cheng was eager to see what more points and other benefits could do. He was too excited to continue coding and swiftly shut down his computer. Why bother with overtime when he could make better use of his time?

"Xiao Jiang, heading home?" his colleague Zhou Yuan asked, surprised. He lowered his voice, "Director Zhou hasn't left yet."

Director Zhou was their department head, and despite the company's no-overtime policy, leaving before the director was usually frowned upon.

"I have some urgent matters to attend to," Jiang Cheng said, brushing off Zhou Yuan's concern.

"You should at least inform Director Zhou," Zhou Yuan advised kindly.

Jiang Cheng cursed internally. Wasn't leaving work on time a basic right? Yet, he knew how the corporate world worked after three years in the job. Normally, he would follow Zhou Yuan's advice, but not today.

"Screw it," he thought. "I'm done with this."

Ignoring Zhou Yuan's advice, he left swiftly. Zhou Yuan sighed, watching Jiang Cheng leave, lamenting his youthful impulsiveness.

At the bus stop, Jiang Cheng eagerly opened the magical short video app and started scrolling. He wasn't specifically looking for Marvel videos this time but stumbled upon one shortly after boarding the bus.

**[Video: The First Alliance of Professor X and Magneto]**

In a dimly lit room, an elderly Professor X and Magneto were discussing with Wolverine about sending him back to the past. Professor X explained that in 1973, he had no powers and couldn't read minds, so Wolverine needed to guide him. Wolverine was also tasked with finding the young Magneto to form an alliance between the then-opposing sides.

After all instructions were given, Wolverine lay on a stone slab, and Kitty Pryde used her powers to send him back.

The scene transitioned to Wolverine waking up in an unfamiliar bed, looking at himself in the mirror and then at the world around him, exclaiming, "Holy shit!"

Clearly, Wolverine had successfully traveled back in time.
