American comics: A salted fish becomes a saint by hanging up

"You don't look well," Natasha noticed Lin Nan's abnormality and frowned, "Are you okay?"

Lin Nan forced a smile and shook his head. "It's okay. I'm probably just too tired lately. I'll just take a rest for a while."

However, he knew in his heart that this was not just due to fatigue. The discomfort gradually spread to his limbs and internal organs, as if some strange force was spreading in his body. The feeling became stronger and stronger, sometimes even making him feel short of breath and his heartbeat accelerated.

"Lin Nan, you must be careful," Tony whispered to him after a discussion. "If you feel anything wrong with your body, you must tell us immediately. His heart was full of contradictions and hesitations. He did not want to affect their actions because of his own problems, but the changes in his body were becoming more and more difficult to ignore. One night, when he was tossing and turning in bed, the burning sensation suddenly became so intense that it almost made him jump out of bed.

He covered his chest, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and his blood was boiling in his body, as if it was burning. Cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and he clenched his teeth, trying to endure the sudden pain. At this moment, his vision began to blur, and the world around him seemed to be gradually distorted, and the colors became weird and unfamiliar.

"No...something's wrong..." Lin Nan murmured in a low voice. He tried hard to stand up, but found that his limbs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

As the pain intensified, his consciousness began to blur, and fragments of memories and blurred images flashed through his mind. He saw Lin Hao's face, and that familiar but gradually blurred face kept appearing in his mind, as if calling him, or asking for help.

"Lin Hao..." He gritted his teeth and tried to catch the blurry figure, but everything gradually dissipated at his fingertips, replaced by darkness.

Just when he thought he would be swallowed by the darkness, a sharp pain came from his body, which made him suddenly wake up. He gasped and found himself kneeling on the cold ground. The air around him seemed to be vibrating, and a powerful force surged from his body.

He looked down at his hands and was surprised to find that his palms were covered with a thin, translucent black substance. This substance seemed to have seeped out from his body, with an unsettling sheen, like the tentacles of some creature.

"This...what's going on?" Lin Nan's voice was filled with fear and shock. He tried hard to shake off the black substance, but it seemed to have life, tightly clinging to his skin and constantly wriggling.

He struggled to get rid of this strange feeling, but every attempt seemed to be fighting against a certain force in his body. That force gradually controlled his limbs and consciousness, making him feel an irresistible sense of oppression.

"No... I can't let it control me..." Lin Nan screamed in his heart. He tried his best to concentrate and suppress the power in his body. However, the power became stronger and stronger, as if it wanted to swallow him up completely. The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Tony, Natasha and Spider-Man rushed in. When they saw Lin Nan's appearance, they showed shock and uneasiness on their faces.

"Lin Nan! What are you doing?" Tony asked loudly, his voice filled with anxiety.

“I don’t know…” Lin Nan shook his head in pain, his eyes filled with despair and fear, “My body…it’s changing, I…I can’t control it!”

Natasha quickly stepped forward and tried to support Lin Nan, but as soon as her palm touched the black substance on his body, it was immediately bounced away, as if that thing had a strong repulsive force.

"This is not a normal state," Natasha said with a frown, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes, "Lin Nan, your body seems to be eroded by some kind of force."

"I know... but I don't know how to stop it!" Lin Nan's voice was full of helplessness and fear. He could feel that power gradually invading his consciousness, as if it was going to swallow him up completely.

"Don't worry, we'll help you," Tony said firmly, "You have to stay calm and don't let it control your mind."

Spider-Man also acted quickly. He tried to use spider silk to isolate the black substance, but every time the spider silk touched that thing, it would be corroded, as if the black substance had some kind of powerful corrosiveness.

"This thing is wrong, we have to find a way to stop it!" Spider-Man said anxiously, his eyes full of tension.

"I feel... it's taking away my strength..." Lin Nan's voice became weaker and weaker, as if he would be swallowed up by that power at any time.

"We have to take action quickly!" Tony made a decisive decision, "We can't let Lin Nan be controlled by this thing!"

They quickly took Lin Nan to the medical room of the base, and Tony began to use advanced instruments to examine Lin Nan's body, trying to find the source of the power. However, the scan results showed that the energy fluctuations in Lin Nan's body were abnormal, as if being disturbed and eroded by some external force.

"This thing... doesn't belong to this world," Tony whispered, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. "It seems to be a foreign parasite that is gradually integrating and invading Lin Nan's body."

"We must stop it!" Natasha said firmly, "We can't let Lin Nan be devoured by this thing!"

Lin Nan lay on the medical bed, the black substance on his body gradually expanded, covering his limbs and torso. But the desire to survive in his heart made him fight desperately. He knew that he couldn't be swallowed like this, he had to find a way to get rid of this curse.

"I can't give up... I still have things to do..." Lin Nan vowed silently in his heart, trying to stay awake, even though the force was ruthlessly eroding his consciousness. Lin Nan's body gradually regained some control, but the black substance still existed, as if it had taken root in his body. He knew that this change could not be resolved in a short period of time, but he could not let it completely control him.

"I will find a solution," he said with a determined gleam in his eyes, "no matter what happens, I will not give in."

Although the changes in his body make him feel scared and powerless, he must keep going. This power may be the key to finding his brother, or it may be his biggest enemy. In any case, he must learn to coexist with this power and eventually find a way to get rid of it.

Lin Nan lay on the bed in the medical room. The pain in his body gradually eased, but the uneasy feeling still lingered.
