"It is said to belong to a legendary, mysterious kingdom composed of valiant female warriors. They live on a secluded island, possessing powers bestowed by the gods, and guarding some important 'mission'?"
Every word Lin Tian said struck Diana's heart like a heavy hammer!
He actually knew all this?!
Family records?! What kind of family records would contain these things?!
Could he really be connected to the Olympian pantheon?!
Or is he simply a god hidden within human society?
Diana felt her mind was in complete chaos!
She looked at Lin Tian's face, which wore a mysterious smile! For the first time, she felt unprecedented pressure and... a trace of fear!
This man is terrifying! He seems to know all my secrets!!!
No! We must leave immediately! We must report to Mother!!!
"Excuse me, sir, I have work to do. Please excuse me." Diana suppressed the shock in her heart and turned to leave.
however
The instant she turned around!
An accident has occurred!!!
Several burly men dressed in black trench coats and wearing sunglasses, who didn't look like good guys, suddenly rushed out from the crowd!
Their target! It was none other than the ancient Amazonian shield behind Diana!!!
They were even carrying some kind of energy weapon?! And it was emitting a crackling sound of electricity?!
"Oh no! Robbery!!!"
"Call the police immediately!!!"
The surrounding tourists screamed in terror and scattered in all directions!
The entire exhibition hall instantly descended into chaos!
Diana's expression changed! She was about to intervene immediately!
113. Step by step, trust begins to blossom! Diana is numb!
Although she didn't want to reveal her identity, she absolutely couldn't let Amazon's sacred goods fall into the hands of these villains!
however!
Before she could even make a move!
A figure! Faster than her!!!
It's Lin Tian!!!
Lin Tian seemed to be strolling leisurely, taking a few steps forward in what appeared to be a casual manner.
Yet, like a ghost, it appeared instantly in front of the robbers!
His movements were incredibly fast, yet they were filled with an indescribable elegance and grace!
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
A few crisp snaps of fingers? (Or some other sound?)
Those robbers, armed with energy weapons and looking menacing!
They were frozen in place, as if under a spell!
then
Their bodies! They actually started dancing a ridiculous dance uncontrollably?!
Tango? Waltz? And even… Swan Lake?!
The scene was extremely bizarre! And also extremely... hilarious?!
The tourists who were initially terrified were stunned by what they saw, their mouths agape, and they forgot to run away!
Diana, completely dumbfounded, stared at the farcical scene unfolding before her!
What kind of ability is this?!
Mind control?! Or some kind of higher-level reality distortion?!
Lin Tian actually resolved the crisis in this way?!
While everyone (including Wanda and Gwen, who were by Lin Tian's side, and who hadn't expected Lin Tian to make a move in this way) was in a state of shock and confusion.
Lin Tian acted as if he had only done a trivial little thing.
He walked up to the robbers who were still dancing wildly, easily took the energy weapons from their hands (which looked like some kind of cheap imitation?), and then "casually" knocked them all unconscious.
Having done all this, he turned around, looked at Diana who was still in shock, and gave her an "innocent" yet "self-satisfied" smile:
"Looks like I, this 'passerby,' have done you another small favor?"
Diana looked at the mysterious, powerful, and unpredictable man before her, who seemed to be "paying special attention" to her.
Curiosity, wariness, gratitude, and a strange flutter in my heart!
It has reached its absolute peak!!!
she knows!
I must find out everything about this man!
No matter the cost!!!
Looking at the complex and inquisitive light in Diana's eyes, Lin Tian knew that his "just right" "performance" had successfully aroused the goddess's "interest".
well.
The fish has taken the bait.
Next
It's time to slowly reel in the line.
He gave Diana an even more enigmatic smile, then turned and, with his two equally striking "female companions," calmly disappeared into the chaotic crowd.
Diana was left alone, standing there, watching his departing figure, lost in deep thought.
The dramatic "robbery" at the Louvre, and Lin Tian's uncanny ability to defuse the crisis with such ease, left an indelible impression on Diana Prince.
She became increasingly certain that this Eastern man who called himself "Lin" was no ordinary person! The secrets he hid might even be intricately connected to the Olympian pantheon and the origins of the Amazons!
A strong desire to explore and a vague sense of crisis (or perhaps anticipation?) drove Diana to take the initiative to try to understand this man.
Using the connections and resources she had accumulated over a century in human society (although she was usually very low-key, having lived for so long, she must have had some unknown networks of relationships), she began to secretly investigate Lin Tian's "background".
However, the result was still a blank.
Lin Tian and his equally mysterious female companions seemed like ghosts appearing out of nowhere in Paris, leaving no trace of their past. All available information pointed to the identity meticulously fabricated by "Zero"—a "mysterious tycoon/scholar from an ancient Eastern family." It was so perfect it seemed unreal.
This complete lack of information only made Diana more certain that Lin Tian's background was definitely extraordinary!
She decided to change her strategy.
Since we can't find the answer from the outside, we can only... look for a breakthrough from him!
Diana began to try to create opportunities to "bump into" Lin Tian.
She would "coincidentally" appear at the coffee shop Lin Tian frequented, order the same coffee, and then "casually" start a discussion with him about art, history, or philosophy.
She would be "invited by friends" to attend high-society dinners or art exhibitions that Lin Tian would also attend, and then "elegantly" walk up to him and have a deeper conversation with him.
She would even occasionally "ask" Lin Tian about some questions regarding the identification of ancient Greek artifacts (although she had no need to with her knowledge), in order to get closer to him.
Faced with Diana's obviously probing approach, Lin Tian was naturally happy to see it happen and "cooperated" perfectly.
He maintained that aloof, mysterious, and alluring demeanor.
During his conversations with Diana, he displayed an astonishing breadth of knowledge and profound insights that transcended his time. Whether discussing ancient Greek mythology, Renaissance artistic treasures, or the political landscape of modern society, he could speak eloquently and always offered fresh perspectives that even Diana found refreshing! This even inspired a sense of admiration and respect in the demigod princess who had lived for millennia, recognizing him as a worthy opponent.
During conversations, he would also "casually" reveal some "unique insights" about "divine power," "laws," and "cosmic mysteries." For example, he might "remark" on the immense power and "limitations" of the gods in ancient Greek mythology; "speculate" that there might be beings in the universe older and more powerful than the Olympian pantheon; or "discuss" the essential connection between life and energy.
These topics, brimming with philosophical speculation and a cosmic perspective, deeply captivated Diana, who too was searching for "meaning" and "truth"! She felt that this man was not only incredibly powerful, but also possessed an unfathomable intellectual depth! It was as if he had already touched upon the ultimate mysteries of the universe!
At the same time, Lin Tian also began to consciously show Diana some traits that were "similar" to her, in an attempt to establish a deeper level of "resonance".
He will demonstrate a desire for "peace." Although his peace ideals may be quite different from Diana's, at least their goals are aligned.
He would express his disgust and heartache over the "lies," "betrayal," and "war" that exist in human society, even though he himself is a master at manipulating people's hearts.
He would even show "sympathy" and "protection" for the weak at certain moments, even though he would kill without batting an eye.
Lin Tian portrayed himself as a "lonely deity" whose heart was filled with the contradictions and struggles of "light" and "darkness," who carried a heavy mission but also longed for understanding and warmth!
This complex and tragic "persona" was a perfect blow to Diana, who was also filled with inner struggle and loneliness!
She began to unconsciously feel sympathy and understanding for Lin Tian, and even... a slight impulse to "save" him?!
Of course, "spiritual communication" alone is not enough.
Lin Tian knew that to truly win over this goddess's heart, he needed to take some more concrete "actions".
He used "zero" surveillance to keep a close eye on Diana's life in human society.
He discovered that although Diana was powerful, she still encountered a lot of trouble when dealing with some of the "trivial matters" of human society.
For example, she might encounter obstacles at work because she is unfamiliar with certain rules of modern society.
For example, she might offend some powerful figures and cause unnecessary trouble because she is too "upright" and "inflexible".
For example, she might occasionally fall into an emotional trough, feeling lost and helpless, because of her deep-seated "disappointment" with humanity.
At these times, Lin Tian would appear silently beside her like a "guardian angel," though he might not always appear in person.
He might have "Zero" use internet technology to help her resolve work-related problems and remove unnecessary obstacles.
He might use the resources and influence he has (through Pepper) to subtly "warn" those powerful figures who dare to cause trouble for Diana, making them back down.
He would appear at just the right moment when Diana was at her lowest point (or perhaps simply convey a touch of warmth through a spiritual connection?), offering her the comfort, encouragement, and "understanding" she needed most.
Moreover, he did all of this in an extremely discreet manner, leaving no trace.
It made Diana feel as if she were truly being silently protected and cared for by some omnipotent being.
Under this continuous, subtle, and gentle offensive, coupled with the display of "omnipotent" strength.
Diana's heart, which had become somewhat frozen due to a century of loneliness and the trauma of war, finally began to... completely melt!
She found herself increasingly trusting this mysterious Eastern man!
She began to confide in him about her inner confusion, struggles, and even her secrets that no one else knew!
She regarded him as her only confidant in this cold and unfamiliar modern society! Perhaps even... a soulmate?!
She began to invite Lin Tian to coffee and dinner, sharing her views on the world and listening to his unique insights into the universe and life.
The way she looked at him gradually changed from initial wariness and scrutiny to curiosity, admiration, dependence, and even... a hint of indescribable affection?!
Lin Tian knew that the time was almost ripe.
It's time to throw out the final "bait" and completely lure this beautiful goddess into our "hunting range".
On a romantic evening, the two strolled along the Seine, admiring the dazzling lights of the Eiffel Tower.
The atmosphere was 89% positive, 39% good, and 64% satisfactory. (460)
Lin Tian, seemingly unintentionally, brought up ancient Greek mythology again.
This time, he didn't try to hint at it indirectly.
Instead, it's direct!
She revealed some of the most crucial secrets about Paradise Island that only members of the Amazonian royal family, and even only Diana and her mother Hippolyta, knew!
For example, is Paradise Island actually located not in the Greek seas, but hidden in a secluded magical dimension?!
For example, were the Amazons not born with divine strength, but rather blessed and transformed by the Olympian gods (mainly Zeus)?
For example, Diana's immense power did not solely stem from her Amazonian bloodline, but also from the unique... Zeusian blood within her!
He even "casually" mentioned the existence of the weapon capable of killing gods—the Godkiller?!
boom! ! !
