Chapter 38 37.The Last Night in Auckland (Part I)


Ms.

Carter was 60 years old, and the old man was tired from coming to Oakland from New York, and after a short chat with Merlin, she ran out of energy and left the rest of the work to Fury.This seemingly kind lady is not a good-natured character, and in the more than 20 minutes she chatted with Merlin, she dug through all the details of Merlin's past 21 years in a moisturizing and silent way.Under her guidance, Merlin told her almost all of his stories.The most important ones, of course, were hidden by Merlin.Including the Coulsons, including the undersea people Vico and Arthur Jr., including the samurai Orkena of Wakanda, including the Wayne family who reached out and Bruce's whereabouts, and more.If you promise someone else something to keep secret, you must do it, this is Merlin's criterion.Fury, who succeeded Ms.

Carter and Merlin, was also a very cunning agent, and he knew that Merlin had been moved by Ms.

Carter's words, so he no longer deliberately guided him to join the Strategic Science Corps.Instead, he generously opened a room for Merlin to rest, and gave him 3 days to think about it before giving them an answer.To be honest, Merlin was really tempted.Not just because of Ms.

Carter's encouragement, and not just because of Fury's generous offers.The two most important reasons for his motivation were, firstly, that the Strategic Science Corps did have a way to help him through the transformation period of the serum.According to Ms.

Carter, it took Captain America Steve nearly three months after becoming a super soldier to fully grasp the power of body modification.And it is precisely because Mr.

Howard has tailored a reasonable training plan for Steve that Captain America's potential can continue to be explored, allowing him to grow up at the fastest speed, and become stronger and stronger in the war, until he becomes a hero who can turn the tide.Secondly, Fury has hinted more than once that the organization of the Winter Soldier is likely to be the official intelligence organization before the collapse of the former Soviet Union, but now due to the turmoil of the times, those originally powerful intelligence organizations have degenerated into mercenaries or assassination organizations.Merlin has made a feud with them, killing their strongest warriors, and those men will not rest on their laurels.Rather than Merlin facing the ensuing retaliation alone, it would be better to commit to the Strategic Science Corps, which would be capable enough to thwart the retaliation of Merlin by those organizations.Most importantly, Merlin is selfish.After joining the Strategic Science Legion, he can use the power of this agency, whether he wants to continue to find legendary wizards, solve the problem of dark forces once and for all, or turn to science to free himself from the predicament of being threatened by demons.It's a multiplier with less.But he still couldn't make up his mind right away.Past experience has taught him to be cautious, to think repeatedly and carefully before making a decision, and to judge the situation.He had a sense of uneasiness about the future, though he didn't know where it came from."

You don't look like you're sleeping well."

The next morning, when Merlin got up for breakfast, he met Fury.The latter was eating alone at a table, and there were many people eating, but judging from their expressions and movements, these guys should have been agents who came to defend Ms.

Carter with Fury."

I didn't sleep well, after all, I had you by my side."

Merlin sat across from Fury with breakfast, and he looked at the high-ranking agent in front of him who was cutting bread, this guy was really bad.Merlin also noticed that Fury's method of cutting bread was odd, not cutting it diagonally more conveniently, but cutting around the corners of the bread.He thought it was funny and asked, "Why do you cut bread like that?"

Is this also one of the provisions of the Strategic Science Corps?

”Fury glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "I don't eat triangular bread...""

Why?"

Merlin asked, and Fury said angrily, "Because on the battlefield of the Vietnam War, I encountered a triangular bomb disguised as bread on the dinner table."

Do you want to keep asking?

”"Okay, okay."

Merlin didn't ask any more questions, so as not to anger Fury, and just as he was about to eat, Fury put something on the table and handed it to Merlin, it was a black watch, which looked no different from a normal watch."

For you."

Fury picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and said to Merlin, "A new product from the logistics department, which is equipped with a new GPS locator and a miniature bomb that can be used to escape after being imprisoned. ”"Huh?"

Merlin's eyes narrowed, he took a bite of the fruit, picked up the watch, and said to Fury, "You should know that if I really want to run, then you can't catch me with this thing, right?"

Even if it exploded, it wouldn't hurt me. ”"So I didn't hide its 'little secret' from you."

Fury didn't care, he picked up his glass, took a small sip of wine, and said to Merlin: "Whether you want to accept our kindness or not, you will enter the surveillance range of the Strategic Science Corps."

This thing is actually a sign of sincerity. ”"Merlin, when you take it with you, it means that you are willing to live peacefully with us, it means that we are friends, at least acquaintances.You take it with you, and we'll know where you are, and we'll be able to save you if you're in danger, if you're willing to let us know, of course. ”"Are all agents so cautious?"

Merlin snorted, and in front of Fury, replaced his worn-out watch and put the new watch on his wrist.This action made Fury smile.He stood up, patted Merlin on the shoulder, put a wad of money in Merlin's hand, and said, "Although you are not yet a full member, I will give you your salary and allowance for this month."

Go out and play for the next few days, and I'll let you know when I leave. ”Fury left the dining room, and Merlin looked left and right, chewing on the food in his mouth, picked up the wad of money, counted it, and put it in his pocket with satisfaction.He took the last sip of the soup, pressed a note under the plate, wiped his mouth, and turned to leave the hotel.Before leaving Auckland, he was going to a place.—————————————————— "Alas, it's all ruined." ”Merlin, wearing a baseball cap, stood at the entrance to the black neighborhood as if he were standing on a post-war ruin, and at least a fifth of the houses had been completely destroyed in the night's scuffle.The apartment where he used to hide was completely blown up by a third, and the upright wreckage exuded a sad atmosphere.A cordon had been set up around the neighborhood, but there were no police officers to maintain order, no reporters to report the news, and it was as if it had been completely forgotten except for the local residents who were searching for things in the rubble.Merlin could probably guess that it was the Strategic Science Corps that had put pressure on the local media to completely block the news here, in order to hide people's eyes, or rather, to keep the rest of the city's inhabitants from feeling fear.This is a necessary information control, and even in modern society, people's acceptance is not always strong.If the local media rashly broke out such a dangerous incident, it is likely to cause panic and even trigger a series of vicious incidents that should not have happened.Merlin's hands were in his pockets, and he walked through the rubble-strewn streets, which should have been cleaned up urgently, and the corpses, guns, and blood stains in the ruins were all covered, and of course, in some remote corners, there were faint blood stains.And after Merlin turned on his vision, he could even see that even in the sunlight, there were still some weak ghosts floating on the ruins.They wandered in the ruins, reluctant to leave.But these weak spirits are not resistant to the sun's rays, just as ice melts in the sun, and in another 2 or 3 days, it will be "clean".Merlin also gets information from Fury about the outcome of the shootout and attack that night.The nearby police and firefighters arrived just in time, and it is said that there was another secret force to help, but in short, most of the people were evacuated before the building collapsed, and there were not many real dead and wounded.This is probably the only piece of good news out of all the bad news."

Sir, sir, let's contribute a little bit to the rebuilding of our community."

Merlin walked around the corner and was greeted by a group of people standing there, calling for donations from locals and passers-by to rebuild the neighborhood.A little girl with messy hair stood beside Merlin, holding a donation box and looking at the big brother with expectant eyes.Merlin looked back, and behind the fundraising field, where the basketball court should have been, many children were standing there blankly, with no smiles on their faces, and no longer chasing the ball, as if they were also feeling sorry for this unwarranted disaster."

Okay."

Merlin took out his unheated salary from his pocket, kept only a tenth for himself, and put the rest into the donation box that the kid was carrying."

I'm sorry, kids, and I wish you all a safe life."

He touched the surprised little girl's somewhat messy hair, and said sorry that the child didn't understand at all.Then he stood up, turned around and prepared to leave.But just as he turned around, a child's scream came from the edge of the basketball court.The scream was miserable, like an abused cat.Merlin walked over and found that it was a couple of guys with messy tattoos on their shoulders, beating up a little boy.And the most coincidental thing is that the child, Merlin knows.That's the kid who was sent by Merlin to make a phone call that night.He completes the task given to him by Merlin and contacts the steward of Wayne Manor, who hires Spiritbutterfly to save him.It can be said that without this little boy, Merlin would have been captured by the Winter Soldier long ago."

Hey!"

Several of the men who were beating the child heard a sound behind them to stop them, and the guy with a fierce face turned his head and looked at Merlin, who was wearing a baseball cap and a trench coat behind him.He scolded viciously: "Get out of here!

It's none of your business!

”"I didn't call you!"

Merlin ignored the fierce man, he reached out and took off his baseball cap, and said to the little boy who was holding his head and squatting on the ground, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, "You, child, do you need help?"

”The frightened little boy looked up, there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth and nostrils, he looked at Merlin with some blankness, and after Merlin took off his hat, the little boy's eyes burst with surprise.Apparently, he recognized Merlin.The boy's expression caught the attention of the fierce sweat, and he moved his shoulders to Merlin's eyes, stretched out his fingers, and slammed them on Merlin's chest.He said in a fierce voice, "Do you know that child?"

His father owes us money, and he can't pay it back, so you can pay it back!

”"Okay."

Merlin's expression didn't change, he looked left and right, pointed to the alley not far away, and said, "There are a lot of people here, let's go there and talk about it." ”"Let's go!"

As soon as the leader waved his hand, the five people pushed Merlin into the alley, and the little boy who was thrown in place was a little dazed and a little afraid to look at the few people who walked into the alley.A moment later, he heard a scream, which caused the little boy to hurry to the side of the alley, thinking that Merlin had been beaten by the fierce men.But the child poked his head out of the alley, but was surprised to find that Merlin was holding the big man's neck with one hand, easily lifting him in the air, as if carrying a little chicken, and behind Merlin, the remaining four strong men, in less than 1 minute, had all hit the street.Blood was spilled everywhere, filling the alley with the smell of panic."

Is it the money owed to you?"

Merlin asked calmly, the man who was choked by his neck couldn't speak at all, Merlin shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Since you don't speak, then I'll acquiesce to you." ”"Bang" Merlin shook his hand, and the guy was thrown several meters away, and he was smashed into the corner of the alley where the Winter Soldier had smashed the masonry that night, and his head was bleeding.Merlin, who had settled a debt dispute, clapped his hands happily, he looked at the blood on his fingers with some disgust, he wiped the blood from one of the guys at his feet, and then turned around to see the little boy standing at the mouth of the alley.He walked over and patted the boy on the cheek, and he said, "Go, good boy, don't look at this." ”The child followed him, looking back from time to time, and after a few minutes of walking, Merlin suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

Did your father and uncle get out?

”"My name is Eric, Eric.

Stevenson. ”While wiping the blood on his face, the boy said with some sadness: "My father and uncle are gone, they say that my father is dead, I don't believe it, my father always says that he wants to take me home to see, he says that our family is far away, that place is called Wakanda...""

Wakanda?"

Merlin's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "What's your father's name?"

”"Njob, my uncle's name is James."

The boy looked up at Merlin, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Can you help me find my father and uncle?"

You're so good at fighting, you're sure you'll be able to help me find them. ”"Enjob?"

Merlin recalled the name, and if he remembered correctly, it should have been the person who confronted the mysterious Black Panther Majesty that night, and it should have been a prince of Wakanda.The Panther King said that he had betrayed Wakanda with outsiders, and that he would send Nchob back to the Council of Elders for sanctions.I don't know what happened to them now.Merlin's thoughts, by the boy Eric thought it was a trade-off, Eric grew up in the black community has seen a lot of such things, he gritted his teeth, took Merlin's hand, and said to Merlin: "Come with me, boss, I'll show you something!"

”"It's like...""

Be my payment for you!"
