At that moment, another middle-aged man from the crowd suddenly stepped forward. This man was very tall, about 1.9 meters, but not very muscular—he looked a bit scholarly and frail. With brown hair and a high nose bridge, he had the air of a handsome aristocrat. After walking up, he smiled and said to the other middle-aged man, “Sorry, we’re here as tourists. He… well, he has some issues with his head and often forgets some very important things. There are actually medical cases like this—we usually call it transient global amnesia, or TGA for short. By the way, here’s my business card. I’m an expert in this field.”

As he spoke, the handsome middle-aged man took a business card from his pocket and handed it to the other man. The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before taking it, then examined it carefully for a while before saying, “You’re British? Emmaens Hospital—I think I’ve heard of it. Isn’t your hospital quite famous? Especially for neurology and such…”

Just like that, the two of them started chatting enthusiastically by the roadside. In just a short while, it seemed they had already become good friends. The handsome middle-aged man even got the other man’s phone number. Only after they waved goodbye did the handsome man return to the group.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry to say that we may have encountered something science can’t explain. This is indeed Los Angeles, USA, and the date is June 26th… Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is James Evans, but you can call me James.” The handsome middle-aged man spoke politely.

The others exchanged glances. Among them, a tall, muscular Black man said, “You can call me J. I won’t reveal my full name. Mr. James, can you really confirm that this is Los Angeles, USA? And that the date is June 26th?”

James smiled courteously and said, “That’s right, I’m quite sure. Besides the temperature here, I’m afraid I just secretly checked that gentleman’s phone—the date on it was indeed June 26th.”

“Oh my god…” J sighed. “Don’t tell me we’ve been abducted by aliens? I’ve seen a lot of movies, and there’s always something like this in them…”

“Stop joking around!”

At this moment, the young man with glasses shouted loudly, “Don’t talk nonsense about aliens without any logic! That’s not scientific at all! How could this possibly be Los Angeles, USA? And on June 26th? Do you know what month it was before I woke up? I was about to buy winter clothes! Are you telling me I’ve been in a coma for over half a year? That’s not scientific at all, okay? Do you know what it means to be in a coma for more than half a year? If that were true, no matter how good the medical conditions, we wouldn’t even be able to stand up right now. Muscle atrophy and the adaptation period would keep us in bed or on rehab equipment for another six months! I—”

But the Black man suddenly moved in front of the young man, grabbed him by the neck with a cold sneer, and said, “Show some respect, will you? We’ve all been through this weirdness—not just you. So don’t shout at me like that again. I hate it when people treat me with that attitude. This is a warning. Next time… there might not be a next time, got it?”

In an instant, the young man’s face turned red. Only when the Black man let go did he collapse to the ground, coughing loudly. Most of the people around looked at the Black man with fear.

(So strong… That speed and precision are already beyond many special forces soldiers from various countries. J? I think I’ve heard that name before—wasn’t it the name of a champion in some underground French boxing ring? Is it really him?)

Henry Clark’s eyes flickered, and his smile grew even brighter. But just then, his smile suddenly froze…

At the same time as the young man with glasses was coughing, a black sedan drove past the group and stopped at a residential hotel not far away. A man and a woman got out of the car…

There was nothing particularly strange about this, but unfortunately, Henry Clark didn’t have poor eyesight. He could clearly see the faces of the two people, and he could even lip-read and see their conversation just now. Not only that, but his memory was far beyond what most people could imagine. So… he remembered the faces of these two people! And the appearance of this residential hotel! And this street! And…

This was Los Angeles, USA! This was the very street where the male and female leads escaped their room in the sci-fi movie “Skyline”… Just now, he had seen the main characters from that horror movie with his own eyes!

Yes, this was “Skyline”!

Chapter 3: Hypnosis and Spider-Man

Henry Clark’s background was beyond anyone’s imagination. He was born in a top-secret laboratory—not from a mother’s womb, but from a mass of artificial amniotic fluid, rubber, metal, and nutrient liquids…

Of course, things like his background had almost nothing to do with his current situation. Or perhaps the only connection was that both were equally bizarre?
