I'm a hero in Marvel

"Everyone, the enemy we are facing is the Ten Rings Gang. Their strength should not be underestimated." The Latvian representative, named Emily, spoke in a firm and calm voice, "We must unite and develop an effective response plan."

"But Lord Man is very powerful, at least an A-level existence." Li Jie finally couldn't help but interrupt, with a hint of anxiety in his tone, "I am only a B-level now, and I can't compete with him at all."

"Li Jie, you have to understand that fighting does not rely solely on strength." The SHIELD agent named Harris frowned slightly, his eyes sharp, "Wisdom and strategy are equally important. We must find his weakness."

"Weakness?" Li Jie sneered, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "Mandarin is the core of the Ten Rings Gang. His ability is almost impeccable. Even if we find the weakness, what can we do? He will never expose it easily."

"Do you want to escape?" Emily's voice suddenly rose, her eyes were sharp, and she stared at Li Jie, "What we need now is courage and determination, not cowardice. As a member of the Illuminati, aren't you willing to contribute to the organization?"

Li Jie's heart was shaken. He knew Emily was right, but facing the strength of the Mandarin, his fear surged like a tide. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "I'm not running away, I just want to protect everyone. If I go to fight, I will become a burden."

"If we don't act, the Ten Rings will continue to expand and eventually threaten the safety of the entire city." Harris spoke again, his tone full of urgency, "Li Jie, although your ability is not as good as Mandarin, in this operation, your wisdom and experience are irreplaceable to us."

"What can I do?" Li Jie's voice was low, with a hint of despair in his eyes. "I can't even guarantee my own safety, how can I face the Mandarin?"

"You can be our intelligence officer." Emily's tone softened a little. "Before the battle, we need to have a detailed understanding of the enemy's situation. Your observation and analytical skills will play an important role in this regard."

Li Jie's heart moved, as if he saw a glimmer of hope: "I... I can try."

"Very good." Emily smiled slightly, with approval in her eyes, "Then let's start making a plan now. Harris, you will be responsible for mobilizing the resources of SHIELD to ensure that our actions are not discovered."

"Understood." Harris nodded, a glimmer of determination in his eyes.

"Li Jie, you need to sneak into the outskirts of the Ten Rings Gang and collect intelligence in the next few days." Emily continued, "We will provide you with the equipment and support you need."

"I'll try my best." There was a hint of firmness in Li Jie's voice. Although he was still nervous inside, he knew that this was something he could do.

A few days later, Li Jie sneaked into the outskirts of the Ten Commandments Gang. Under the cover of night, he hid in a dark corner, his heart beating like thunder. He knew that every step he took could be a choice between life and death.

"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a low voice came from behind. Li Jie turned around suddenly and saw a burly man staring at him with sharp eyes.

"I... I was just passing by." Li Jie panicked and quickly made up a lie.

"Passing by?" The man sneered, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, "Do you know where this place is?"

"I just want to find a place to shelter from the rain." Li Jie tried hard to look indifferent, but he was actually thinking about an escape route in his mind.

"Take shelter from the rain? Do you think I will believe your lies?" The man approached step by step, and the shadow on his face made Li Jie feel suffocated.

At this moment, a voice from the headset rang in Li Jie's ears: "Li Jie, stay calm and be prepared to deal with it."

"What do you want to do?" Li Jie tried to calm his voice, but a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

"I don't like dishonest guys like you." The man's voice was low and threatening, with a fierce light in his eyes.

Li Jie's heartbeat quickened, and he knew he had to react. He took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his thinking: "I am not an enemy, I can help you."

"Help us?" The man obviously didn't believe it, and a sneer appeared on his lips. "What qualifications do you have?"

"I know some secrets about the Illuminati." Li Jie suppressed his inner fear and tried to make his voice sound firm. "I can tell you how to deal with them."

There was a flash of interest in the man's eyes, but he quickly returned to indifference: "Do you think I will believe you?"

"I can prove it." Li Jie's heart tightened, his mind racing, "If you let me see Lord Man, I can explain my worth to him."

"The Mandarin is not someone you can just meet casually." The man's voice was filled with disdain, "However, I can take you to see him, but you must be careful."

Li Jie was delighted. Although he knew it might be a trap, he knew it was his only chance. He nodded, trying to appear fearless: "I do."

A few minutes later, Li Jie was taken to a dark basement. There were several strange paintings hanging on the walls, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere. Mandarin sat on a high chair in the middle, his eyes were like torches, as if he could see through everything.

"Are you that small-time character in the Illuminati?" Mandarin's voice was low and majestic, making Li Jie feel suffocated.

"Yes, Lord Mandarin." Li Jie tried to keep himself calm, with a hint of respect in his tone, "I have some information about the Illuminati that I want to share with you."

"Information?" Mandarin smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "I'd really like to hear what value you can provide."

Li Jie's heart tightened, knowing that this was a life-or-death moment. He took a deep breath and mustered up his courage: "The Illuminati is working with S.H.I.E.L.D. and S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with you and the Ten Rings."

Mandarin's expression changed slightly, and he was obviously interested in the news: "Oh? Go on."

"I can tell you their plans and their weaknesses." Li Jie tried to make his voice sound firm. "If you can give me a chance, I am willing to serve you."

"Lan, are you reading those instructions again?" Li Jie couldn't help but speak, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Lan raised his head and smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Li Jie, these manuals contain a lot of knowledge that I have never come across before, especially the application of spatial abilities. I think they can help me improve my strength!"

"But you've been watching it for several days. Don't you feel bored?" Li Jie shook his head, trying to break Lan's concentration.

"Boring? How is that possible!" Lan's voice rose a few notes, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of persistence. "I must master this knowledge in order not to be defeated in the upcoming challenges. You know, Captain Rogers and Iron Man are not opponents that I can easily deal with."

Li Jie stood up, walked to Lan, and tried to persuade her in a gentler tone. "I understand your thoughts, but you also need to take a break. Focusing too much on these manuals may make you lose your instincts in combat."

Lan frowned slightly, seeming dissatisfied with Li Jie's suggestion. "I know you care about me, but I can't let my guard down. The enemy we are facing is too powerful, I must do my best."

"You are already very strong, Lan." Li Jie's voice softened, and his eyes showed concern. "I believe in your ability, but we cannot ignore the power of the team. We need to cooperate with each other to truly defeat those powerful enemies."

"Team?" Lan's mouth curled up into a sneer, "In this battle, who can rely on whom? I don't want to rely on others anymore. I want to be the strongest version of myself."

Li Jie's heart tightened, and he felt Lan's obsession was deepening. He knew that Lan's strength was the pride of the team, but her paranoia might leave her isolated and helpless. "Don't you think this is dangerous? If you only pursue personal strength, you might lose the tacit understanding between us."

Lan stood up, a flash of anger in his eyes. "Li Jie, you don't understand me at all! What I'm doing is not for myself, but for all of us! If I become stronger, we can face challenges together instead of being defeated by the enemy!"

Li Jie took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "I understand how you feel, but I hope you can be more rational. Strong abilities are important, but we also need spiritual communication and trust."

"Trust?" Lan's voice was full of sarcasm. "In this cruel world, what can trust bring us? Only strength is the most reliable!"

"Do you really think you can win like this?" Li Jie's voice gradually became louder, and the anxiety in his heart made it impossible for him to remain calm. "Don't you understand that strength is not everything? What we need is the harmony of mind, only in this way can we truly defeat the enemy!"

The argument between the two was intertwined in the air, and the tense atmosphere seemed to raise the temperature in the training room. Lan's eyes flashed a little shaken, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "I will not give up my pursuit, Li Jie! I will become stronger, even if I am alone!"

Li Jie sighed helplessly, feeling a sense of loss. He knew that Lan's determination was unshakable, but he also understood that overly obsessive pursuit would only make her fall into deeper loneliness. "I hope you can listen to me, Lan. We can practice together and become stronger together, instead of isolating ourselves from each other."

"Do you want me to give up the pursuit of strength?" Lan's voice was filled with despair. "If I don't work hard, I will be abandoned and defeated by the enemy! I don't want to experience that feeling of powerlessness again!"

Li Jie's heart was deeply touched. He walked forward, held Lan's shoulders, and his eyes showed determination. "I won't let you go through those painful things. I will always be with you. We are teammates and friends. I hope you can trust me."

Lan's eyes gradually softened, as if she was moved by Li Jie's words, but she was still struggling in her heart. "I... I don't know how to choose. I have too much fear and anxiety in my heart."

"Then let us face these fears together." Li Jie said softly, "No matter how difficult the future is, we must go on together. Only in this way can we truly overcome everything."

A trace of tears flashed in Lan's eyes, and he finally nodded. "Okay, I will try to let go of those obsessions and practice with you. But I hope you can understand that I still want to become stronger."

Since leaving Kamataki, she found that she could no longer freely read those mysterious books as before. Her heart was full of loss and longing, like a bird trapped in a cage, longing for the free sky.

"Lan, what are you looking at?" Li Jie's voice suddenly came from behind her, interrupting her thoughts. Lan turned her head and saw Li Jie looking at her with concern.

"I'm looking at the instructions for some magic books." Lan sighed, his voice low.

"Instructions? Why don't you just read the book?" Li Jie frowned, seeming confused by Lan's choice.

"Because... because I can't read freely like I can in Kamartaki." Lan's voice trembled slightly, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.

Li Jie sat next to her and looked at her seriously: "You are always so obsessed with the past, can't you try something new?"

"Something new?" Lan sneered, "Are you talking about those online novels? I heard there are a lot of unpleasant plots in them."

"But it is also a form of literature, Lan." Li Jie was a little excited. "You can find fun in it, and maybe it can inspire your own creations."
