... In a retro-style office, sat an eighteen or nineteen-year-old Eastern youth.
The youth was diligently looking at some mission reports, his mature demeanor strikingly out of place with his youthful appearance.
"Interesting, Cybertron's machine life has also come to Earth to join the fun."
"Waking up in this time frame after sleeping for twenty years, it's indeed as complicated as I expected."
Lin Luo finished reading the information and muttered to himself.
Over 120 years ago, Lin Luo transmigrated to this peculiar fusion World composed of many Worlds like U.S. Comics, MCU, DC, Super God, Armor Heroes, and so on.
At the beginning of his transmigration, he was very confused, not knowing how to face this World.
It wasn't until he realized the true nature of this World through a heaven-sent golden finger that he finally knew what he should do.
He spent a hundred years establishing a super organization composed of the Universal Immigration Bureau (for alien resettlement), the Civilization Trade Bureau (for inter-Planet or inter-civilization trade), the Civilization Guard Bureau, and so on.
Its name was... Men in Black.
As the leader of the organization, Lin Luo set four phases of goals for Men in Black.
At the current stage, similar to the original movie, it was to conceal the truth about aliens on Earth from the World.
However, because it was a fusion World, the incidents handled were more numerous and complex than in the original work.
Oh, it must be mentioned that this fusion World also had the background of the original "Men in Black."
Therefore, in terms of military strength, there were many weapons not inferior to top-tier Universal civilizations.
Bang... Bang... Bang... Knocking sounds came.
Lin Luo put down the documents and stretched.
"Come in."
Click.
The office door opened, and in walked a well-dressed, dignified blonde old woman.
Special Agent O.
The Men in Black's ranks were divided into three levels: Level Three, Level Two, Level One, Senior, Special, and X-level.
Special Agents were further divided into Branch and Headquarters.
Headquarters Special Agents had higher authority than Branch Special Agents.
"Boss, these are the files of the personnel awaiting review that you requested." Agent O smiled as she handed over the file bag.
"Thank you."
Lin Luo took it, opening it as he asked with concern, "O, you've been working here for over seventy years, haven't you?"
"I joined the organization at twenty-five, and this year I just turned a hundred." Agent O replied.
"Seventy-five years, huh." Lin Luo felt a slight melancholy.
He himself was over 140 years old; if it weren't for a physique-enhancing potion he developed earlier, he would probably have been buried over forty years ago.
For every level up in Men in Black, besides equipment upgrades, one would receive a strengthening potion that could enhance strength, brain region development, brain activity, and anti-aging properties.
One could decide whether to inject it; once injected, it was effective for life with no side effects.
Agent O was a hundred years old, but she looked at most fifty, and as for her strength... uprooting a weeping willow was no problem at all.
"How are things between you and Agent K?" Lin Luo asked, as if gossiping.
"This..." Agent O's eyes darted away, clearly embarrassed to discuss the topic.
"It's still the same; Agents can't date, so we try to keep our distance."
"Hmm?" Lin Luo raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Is there such a rule? How come I, the founder, don't know about it?"
Agent O shook her head, "There's no such rule; it's an unspoken agreement among us Special Agents."
Speaking of which, Agent O's eyes suddenly filled with longing.
"We don't want personal feelings to hinder our work. Before we complete the goals you've set, none of us Special Agents plan to start a family."
"Nonsense." Lin Luo's face showed displeasure, "How are personal feelings a hindrance?"
"How about this, pick a day, I'll be the Master, and organize a wedding for you and Agent K. Then, inject you both with a Special-grade physique modification, restoring your ages to when you first met."
Upon hearing this, O froze on the spot. Coming back to her senses, she waved her hands to refuse, "No... no..."
"It's decided, this is an order. When K returns from his mission, I'll tell him myself." Lin Luo said unequivocally.
With things said to this extent, Agent O couldn't say anything more and sighed, "Boss, why bother?"
Lin Luo looked at Agent O and said, "O, remember, in this strange World, we never know whether tomorrow or the apocalypse will arrive first."
"So, all we can do, besides completing our missions and being absolutely responsible for our identities, is to live in the present."
"Alright." O compromised, "If you can convince K, I'm fine with anything."
"Mm." Lin Luo nodded, handing the documents back to O, "Back to the main topic."
"Help me arrange it; I'll personally conduct the review for this batch of new recruits."
"You'll personally conduct the review?!"
O's eyes lit up, her expression nostalgic and expectant.
She herself had joined the organization after being reviewed by the Boss.
The first time she saw an alien, she was terrified, curious, and at a loss.
But the Boss made her realize that no matter what aliens or alien civilizations... once they came here, they had to obey the rules of Earth civilization!
No one could act recklessly in front of Earthling, the Master!
That kind of assertiveness made her proud of her identity as an Earthling.
This was also one of the reasons she was willing to devote her life to MIB.
"Alright, please wait." O turned to make arrangements.
Lin Luo watched O leave and began to ponder the information of the pending recruits.
His sudden decision to conduct the review was not a whim.
Several names among them had caught his attention.
The appearance of these names seemed to signify... the opportunity to initiate the second phase had arrived.
Walking... to the pending member review room.
Due to the increasing number of alien infiltration incidents on Earth recently, MIB also faced a shortage of personnel. All branches across the World recruited and sought out many "excellent talents."
More than a dozen elites from across the U.S. sat in spherical chairs, diligently writing a stack of test papers without the aid of tables.
Buzz—!
The automatic door opened.
Lin Luo walked in, accompanied by Chief Examiner Agent Z and Assistant Agent C.
"Stop now, the answer sheets are void." Agent Z interrupted the diligently answering recruits and loudly announced, "Let me introduce you, this is our Boss, and he might also be your Boss."
"You don't need to know his name; you only need to know that he is the creator and leader here. You can just call him Boss."
"Boss?"
Everyone looked up.
When they saw the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Eastern youth standing in the middle, their minds momentarily crashed.
Not only was he an Easterner, but... he was so young?
At the same time, Lin Luo was also observing the recruits awaiting review.
Out of fifteen people, excluding seven he hadn't seen before, the rest were all familiar faces.
From left to right, first... a big-nosed British man, aged forty to fifty, from British MI7.
His name was Johnny English, a name few might know, but he had a very famous title.
Mr. Bean.
Next to him sat a British youth in a brown suit and glasses, named Eggsy, from the World-class spy organization—Kingsman.
Ada Wong from Umbrella Corporation, Jean Grey from X-Men, and... Black Widow Natasha from S.H.I.E.L.D., and Level Eight Agent Phil Coulson.
There were also Gotham vigilante Catwoman, Selina Kyle, and Black Canary Dinah Laurel.
Among these people, except for the latter two, most were Agents who had infiltrated using their real names and fake documents to investigate.
Alas, they overestimated themselves.
With the capabilities of the organizations behind them, they were like a great-Grandpa and a grandson compared to MIB; even combined, they weren't on the same level.
A data scanner could simply scan a face, and a lifetime's worth of information would be displayed.
Not only individuals, but even their behind organizations were thoroughly exposed.
So, the question arises.
Why, knowing the truth, did Z, as the chief examiner, still allow them to come here for review?
This was a form of arrogance.
MIB simply didn't take these people seriously.
If they passed the review, they would try to recruit them; if they were eliminated, a memory stick would be used to check their eyesight, an easy fix.
It seemed very showy, but MIB simply had that kind of power.
Lin Luo showed a somewhat approachable smile and said:
"The papers you have are useless, throw them in the trash. Next, I'll first help you expand your Worldview."
"This..."
The unidentified pending members looked at each other, unsure whether to obey the young Boss's order.
"Alright, Boss."
Natasha replied with a smile, unhesitatingly throwing her test paper into the trash can.
Jean Grey, Coulson, Mr. Bean, and Eggsy did the same.
Catwoman and Black Canary, while discarding theirs, had two exquisite and beautiful faces full of indifference.
Lin Luo didn't mind either, his gaze fixed on Catwoman and Black Canary.
"Before you go, I have a question for the two of you: why do you want to join this organization?"
Catwoman Selina stretched her waist like a cat, and with a casual, melancholic demeanor, said:
"I'm a thief. The Police and some special agencies have a pile of my criminal records. Someone told me that coming here I could live with a new identity, well... that's it."
After speaking, she provocatively winked at Lin Luo.
This woman had no idea who she was facing.
Lin Luo smiled in response.
If it were before, he would have tamed this little cat into submission, but now... he wasn't in the mood.
At least not now.
Black Canary next to her replied, "I want to know some things that ordinary people don't know, and then become a hero like my mother."
"You will do it. Soon, your mother, the original Black Canary, will be proud of you." Lin Luo replied.
The subtext was, you passed the review.
Upon mentioning her mother's title, Black Canary's gaze towards Lin Luo turned to surprise. After a moment of stunned, she smiled and thanked him, "Thank you."
"Mm."
Lin Luo nodded, his aura and voice suddenly amplifying.
"Alright everyone, follow me, I will lead you to understand the true face of the World."
"Oh, a word of caution: do not touch anything on the way, and do not have any contact with any living creature, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
Snap—!
As his voice fell, Lin Luo snapped his fingers.
The walls around the entire review room instantly disappeared, revealing a vast, airport-like space.
"This is the entrance to the Interstellar Port, approximately 5 times the size of a 4F-class airport." Lin Luo introduced, then led everyone inside.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
Such a large area was just an entrance? What kind of interstellar joke was that?
Even more preposterous was... as far as the eye could see, there wasn't a single pillar supporting the ceiling. Wait... were those spaceships flying up there?
At this point, some Agents could no longer contain their patience and secretly used various miniature photographic devices to take pictures.
However, for some unknown reason, their devices collectively malfunctioned. They all stood bewildered for a moment, then could only follow everyone forward.
Once they walked further inside, they finally understood what "the true face of the World" meant.
All sorts of strange creatures, carrying luggage, walking along, passing through something emitting a green light, probably a portal, and disappearing.
Worms, big-headed four-legged creatures, large insects like mantises and spiders, and even energy beings... everyone's pupils dilated in shock.
Fortunately, everyone present was among the most excellent people on Earth.
Aside from the shock, no one fainted on the spot from fright.
Natasha and Coulson exchanged glances. Both, having witnessed many grand scenes, subconsciously clenched their fists.
What kind of organization was this!
They were still wrestling with criminals and Terrorists, while these people were managing aliens in an orderly fashion.
"MIB is primarily responsible for protecting Earth civilization and alien immigrants, inter-civilization trade, and concealing the fact of aliens on Earth."
Lin Luo said, arriving before a portal equipped with a special identification door frame.
Oh, don't misunderstand, he didn't need identity verification.
As the creator, Lin Luo's consciousness was connected to MIB's main terminal; going anywhere was just a thought away.
It was for the group of kids behind him.
"Boss, may I ask you an awkward question?" Natasha stepped forward and asked.
Lin Luo replied, "Speak."
"You just said... one of MIB's missions is to conceal the fact of aliens on Earth? Then Superman..." Natasha trailed off at the end, hesitant to continue.
"Good question." Lin Luo smiled and said, "If Superman wasn't a handsome human species, but a strange species three meters tall, with eight legs, six arms, and five heads..."
"Can you imagine what he would encounter on Earth? Can you imagine the scene of him saving people?"
"Uh." Natasha's mouth twitched slightly. She tried to imagine an eight-legged Superman descending from the sky to save people.
Hiss!
Her sanity plummeted.
"I understand what you mean. Regarding human aesthetics... it is indeed a big problem."
Aesthetics?
To put it bluntly, it was still a World that judged by appearance.
"However, with the way the times have developed, it's almost time for humanity to know the truth."
Lin Luo said this inexplicable sentence again, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Then he waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go. I still have to go to school; I can't spend too much time here."
What?
Go to school?
"???"
Natasha, Coulson, and the others had question marks floating above their heads.
The leader of such a terrifying organization still had to go to school?
What kind of school?
Universal Interstellar High School?
Laughing... they passed through the portal and arrived at an equally vast venue.
The ceiling was five hundred meters high from the ground, and the surrounding walls had countless claw marks, like those of dinosaurs.
Looking down from an eight-meter-high suspended walkway, one could clearly see several motorcycles parked on the ground.
A blue heavy truck with red Fire patterns—a Western Star 4900, a rusty yellow Chevrolet Camaro SS.
There were also a GMC SUV, a Pontiac Solstice GXP, and a Hummer H2 rescue vehicle...
