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

Lin Nan nodded and frankly admitted his inner desire. "Yes, I do want to become stronger. I don't want to rely on others anymore. I want to rely on my own strength and face everything alone."

The stranger smiled slightly, as if he had expected Lin Nan's answer. "There's nothing wrong with wanting power, but the key lies in how you look at it. If you just blindly pursue power and ignore its essence, you will only get lost in it."

Lin Nan felt powerless. He certainly understood these principles, but it was not easy to actually do them. He once thought that as long as he was strong enough, he could control everything, but reality broke his fantasy again and again. Now, what stood before him was not just a new challenge, but also a struggle of the soul.

"What kind of development do you want, Lin Nan?" the stranger asked, with a hint of encouragement in his tone, as if guiding Lin Nan to think deeply.

Lin Nan was silent for a while. He had been looking for an answer, but this question caught him off guard. What kind of development did he really want? To become a lone strong man? Or to fight side by side with his partners? His heart was struggling between the two.

"I... I want to become stronger, not to overwhelm others, but to be able to make my own choices." There was a hint of determination in his voice. "I don't want to be forced to follow others anymore. I hope to be able to make independent decisions and act according to my own wishes when facing any situation."

The stranger nodded slightly, seeming satisfied with Lin Nan's answer. "This is an important decision, and it is also the key to your development. Strength is the tool to achieve this goal. True strength comes from inner determination and belief, not external ability."

Lin Nan thought about these words. What he pursued was not just power itself, but the freedom and autonomy gained through power. He was tired of being guided by others and living under the shadow of others. He wanted to get rid of it all and pursue his own future.

"But I still wonder, 'How can I control this power instead of being controlled by it? '"

The stranger smiled and shook his head. "The answer is not with me, but deep in your heart. Only you can find the balance point - between desire and reason, between power and responsibility. You must face your own heart and look directly at the emotions that you have been trying to avoid."

Lin Nan felt a shock in his heart, as if these words hit his soft spot. He realized that he had been avoiding and trying to cover up his inner weakness with external strength. He had never really faced his own heart, never really examined his desires and fears.

"I have to go back." Lin Nan said suddenly, his tone full of determination.

"Go back?" The stranger raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised by the decision.

"Yes, I need to go back to reality and face the problems that I have been avoiding. Only by going back there can I really find the answers and truly achieve my goals."

The stranger nodded slowly, "This is the right choice. Remember, no matter what path you choose, what really matters is not how much power you have, but how you use it. You must learn to control your heart before you can control everything you have. He felt that his mood seemed to be calmer. He no longer felt confused. Although the way forward was still unknown, he knew that he had to go on. Whether fighting alone or alongside his partners, he must be guided by his own will and walk out a path of his own." Lin Nan looked at the stranger. Although the other party's identity was still mysterious, he knew that the other party had indeed helped him.

The stranger nodded and smiled, "No need to thank me. The real answer lies in your own heart. Go, Lin Nan, and find your own path."

As the stranger's voice fell, Lin Nan felt the surrounding scene begin to blur again, as if the world was gradually dissipating. He felt a warm force enveloping him, gently pushing him back to reality. He found himself standing in a familiar ruin, surrounded by the scene that was previously eroded by darkness. The air was still filled with the smell of decay, but at this moment Lin Nan no longer felt fear or powerlessness. He felt that some kind of shackles in his heart had been broken, replaced by an unprecedented firmness.

He knew that he had to find Steve as soon as possible and then go face Sothras together. But Lin Nan was different now. He was no longer the confused follower, but a person with his own goals and will.

Lin Nan began to search for Steve's trace in the ruins. Although the surroundings were still full of danger, his inner determination made him feel extremely calm and clear. He knew that this time, he was no longer fighting to prove himself, but to pursue his future and realize his ideals. I will find you. A ray of determination flashed in his eyes.

Lin Nan walked forward in the ruins, with a new determination and goal in mind. His steps were firm, but not without caution. Although the fog in his heart had been dispelled, he knew that this area was still full of unknown dangers. With every step, he carefully felt the surrounding atmosphere, trying not to miss any possible threats.

Suddenly, he heard a subtle sound not far away. The sound was like something moving quickly through the air, and Lin Nan's keen intuition immediately alerted him. He stopped, turned slightly sideways, and quietly observed his surroundings. His heartbeat began to speed up, but he quickly adjusted his breathing and tried to keep himself calm.

Just as he was about to investigate further, a red and blue figure swooped down from midair, bringing with it a strong sound of wind. Lin Nan instantly took a few steps back, taking a defensive stance, ready to deal with possible attacks. However, when the figure landed steadily in front of him, Lin Nan's nerves relaxed a little - it was a familiar face.

"Hey, you look a little nervous, buddy." The man stood up straight, with a hint of relaxation and teasing in his voice. It was the Spider-Man he knew.

Lin Nan relaxed his body slightly, but he remained alert in his heart. He knew Spider-Man was a good man, but in this hostile world, he dared not let down his guard easily.

"Why are you here?" There was a hint of confusion in his tone. He didn't expect to meet Spider-Man in this place.

"I should be the one asking you that." Spider-Man shrugged and tapped his fingers lightly on his famous red and blue suit a few times, as if to ease the tense atmosphere.
