In the hospital once attached to the Strategic Science Corps, Merlin and Fury were looking through the glass, looking at the person lying on the hospital bed in front of them, receiving help.That's Jasper.
Agent Hitvel.A first-class agent who assisted Konstantin in sorting out the New York outlier list last year, and was exceptionally admitted early because of his excellent work performance.But now, the young man is lying in the emergency room, and a week has passed, and he shows no signs of waking up.Merlin had also worked with Hitwell for a while, and he had a good impression of the young man of Indian origin."
Hitwell wasn't really a good agent."
Fury folded his arms and said to Merlin beside him, "This young man lacks self-confidence and courage, and he once told me that if he could, he would volunteer to be an internal agent.He didn't even want to have a gun, he just wanted to be able to sit in his office and do what he could.I checked his information, he was born as an orphan, and when he was a child, he almost lost his life to gang fighting. ”"But he's a very qualified assistant, and I gave it to Constantine, who was only responsible for providing some rudimentary information, but Hitwell gave me a comprehensive list, which included almost all the information of the aliens, and each one of them was marked and verified very clearly.That list can be used as a standard template for an organization's internal documents. ”Fury shook his head, and he said with some regret: "If this young man never wakes up again, our organization will lose a very good assistant."
Young people like him and you are the hope for the future of the organization. ”"Don't worry, he'll wake up."
Merlin had a cup of coffee in his hand, and he took a sip of the slightly bitter liquid.In his vision, he could see the young man in front of him.He told Fury, "Heatwell's weakened soul is recovering, and he can't wake up now because his body is too tired.In a few days, he will wake up, recuperate for a month, and he will be discharged from the hospital. ”"Well, I hope so."
Fury reached out and put his sunglasses on his face and walked out of the hospital with Merlin.The two of them sat in the car, and Fury drove the car all the way in the direction of Hell's Kitchen."
Here's what you want."
Merlin puts the coffee on the helm table, takes a piece of paper out of his pocket, and hands it to Fury.The latter shook the steering wheel with one hand, took it with the other, glanced at it about it, nodded his head, and put the note close to his body.What is recorded on it is the complete materials and process for making the Holy Silver Bullet, which is also what the two people said before."
Come to work, Merlin."
Fury turned the car into a street, honking his horn and urging the car in front of him to hurry away, and said to Merlin, "Khloe is being suppressed by Pierce very badly now, he is already too anxious to make trouble for us."
I've promised you that your office will be assigned to you as well, and I need someone I can trust to help me with something. ”"Do you still want to sit in the office?"
A look of annoyance tugged at the corners of Merlin's mouth, and he said to Fury, "Forget it, I've been sitting in Gatler's office for a year, and that job really isn't for me."
I'd better continue to be in the field, and it's good to be a free-to-go movement specialist. ”"That'll do fine."
Fury nodded, and he said, "I've probably been traveling a lot lately, and now that Kohler's threat is gone, I'm going to start recruiting new people."
Agent Weaver has everything ready, only our Secret Service Academy is about to be established, and I need to find some good young people like Hitwell to fill in the future of the organization. ”"Do you want to come with me?""
Well, that sounds interesting."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said with a look of regret, "But maybe not recently, I have to hurry up and study magic."
I could only keep those books for three years, and now, a year and a half has passed. ”"Hmm...
Can that magic, I mean, be passed on?
”Fury narrowed his eyes and asked softly, "If I help you find some gifted apprentices, can you...""
Theoretically, yes."
Merlin leaned on the passenger seat, he rubbed his forehead, and said to Fury: "But we better not do this, I heard that the Ministry of Magic here in the United States has a more rough style, they are hiding in a corner of this land, monitoring the magic activities in North America, once our private teaching of magic is detected, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble." ”"Fury, don't you know, those wizards take inheritance very seriously, and many of them are not very good at ordinary people's senses.They call ordinary people 'Muggles', well, a humiliating word, you know what I mean?
”"Well, I understand.Sounds like a variant of the descent theory. ”Fury regretfully gave up on this tempting idea.As the head of the Secret Service and the future leader, he must want his organization to be as strong as possible, and the power of Merlin's magic that night is really coveted by Fury.But he still has sense, and when his organization is still at a low point, it is best not to provoke a magical force that sounds very large."
But in fact, there is no compromise in this matter."
Merlin looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said to Fury, "In the wizarding world, there is a kind of people called 'Squibs', which means those who have magical talents, but are unable to release magic.Somewhere between wizards and ordinary people, they know a lot about the paranormal, and some of the Squibs are insightful.And most importantly, the existence of squibs is actually quite common, and wizards are relatively loose in the management of squibs. ”"You mean, we can recruit some?"
Fury's eyes lit up, he touched his chin, and muttered, "Are they easy to find?"
”"At least it's much easier to find than a hidden wizard."
Merlin said: "I've recently asked a few friends to help you ask where the Squibs in North America are congregating.Don't recruit too much, Fury, one or two knowledgeable advisors are enough, too many people will attract attention, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”"I can understand that all we need is consultants."
Fury patted Merlin on the shoulder, and he said, "To deal with those things, you can just get out of the way."
You're now my top agent specializing in the occult. ”"That's a bit weird."
Merlin glanced at Fury, he looked at the old flight jacket Fury was wearing, and he smiled and said, "This dress is good, right?"
”"Well, it's good."
Fury is very satisfied: "I never have to wash, I never get dirty, I can repair myself if I am damaged, except that I can't be bulletproof, and I wear more old-fashioned clothes, everything is fine." ”"Actually, there's the latest suits and uniforms for sale there.""
I just don't know what you like, so I didn't buy it," Merlin said. ”"Then next time you come back, bring me a trench coat."
Fury said, "I want the black ones, the cool ones!"
Well, a thin black sweater and pants, and if you have combat boots, a pair. ”"Okay, no problem."
Merlin nodded in agreement, "Before your next birthday, I'll get it for you." ”As Merlin spoke, Fury's car stopped on the side of the road, and Fury opened the window, pointed to a house on the side of the road, and said to him, "Your house is burned, and I will rent you a new one, or the same as before, as your safe house."
I'm not going to give you field assignments lately, so hurry up and learn magic...""
The stronger you are, the more confident our organization will be in the face of those strange things."
Merlin opened the car door and looked at the white house in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Fury and said, "Thanks, this house looks good." ”"Of course it's good."
Fury crossed his arms and leaned against his new car, and said, "The rent of this house is very expensive, I only helped you pay the first month's rent, and you can pay it yourself after that."
It comes with a yard and garage with all the furniture, the place is quiet and remote, and no one will bother you. ”"Let's go in and have a look."
Merlin took the key from Fury, and the two walked into the house, which was a typical American cottage with two floors, wooden frames, and furniture that was a bit old but not a big problem.But in the courtyard at the back of the house, Merlin found something strange."
Is this also a gift?"

Merlin pointed to the rusty, two-tire old car on the edge of the yard, and said to Fury, "Or is it the 'collectible' left by the previous tenant?"
”"Well, I don't know about that."
Fury looked at the old car that had been scrapped in confusion and said, "I remember the last time I saw it, there was no such thing."
Forget it, find a trailer and tow it away. ”"Wait."
Merlin walked over to the old car, and he looked at the car in front of him, as if he had seen the car on Coulson's Farm that he had restored with his own hands.Lola, the car he left for Phil, was just as rusty and unattended as the car in front of him at first.Merlin reached out and touched the hood of the car, and he turned back to Fury and said, "Leave it here, this is the Dodge Challenger, a classic old car."
If I have the chance, I'll refurbish it and treat it as my own car. ”"Looks like you're very knowledgeable about cars."
Fury snorted, he raised his wrist to look at the time, and said to Merlin, "Then whatever you want, I'll go first, I found a few nice young people the other day, I have to meet them."
If things go well, you'll be able to meet our rookie agents in a few months. ”"Then I won't send you."
Merlin opened the lid and began to inspect the interior of the old car.Behind him, Fury turns away, and Khloe can't trouble him anymore, which means that Fury can finally really get to work.He sat back in his car, took a document from under the bridge, looked at it a few times, and then started the vehicle and headed for the airport."
The first stop on a trip at public expense...
Wisconsin. ”"Wait, Merlin seems to have been born there, too?"
—————————————————————— "Here, cheers!"
”That night, in Merlin's new home, Eric Jr., May and Ben, and Merlin himself, the family stood at the table and toasted to Merlin's new home.The meals on the table were all taken out, and the house was not cleaned up much, but the family gathered here to bring a precious warmth to the empty house.Merlin and Ben are drinking beer, while May is helping little Eric cut the pizza, the classic movie "Back to the Future" is playing on the TV, the lights in the room are dimmed, and Merlin enjoys a rare relaxation and reunion under the dark night.He drank a glass of wine and suddenly remembered something that had been forgotten in his mind.He stood up, took out two bags from the room, handed them to Mei, who was busy, and said: "When I first went to Europe, I bought this dress, but I never had time to come back halfway, I was supposed to give it to you for Christmas in 92, but it dragged on for more than a year in a blink of an eye, but fortunately it is not too late." ”"Oh?
You also brought me a gift?
”May took the bag from Merlin's hand, and she glanced at it and saw that inside the bag was a beautifully decorated box.She took out the box, opened it, and a purple dress appeared in front of everyone.Illuminated by the light, the rainbow-like streamer reflected on the dress, made of unknown materials, was like a real work of art.Ben and little Eric let out a sigh of surprise, and May reached out and stroked the purple dress, the material was very soft, not at all like the fabrics she had seen before."
It should be expensive, right?"
Mei looked up at her brother and said, "You should save your money instead of spending it like this." ”"But it's not expensive, my sister."
Merlin leaned back on the sofa and explained to May, "I bought this dress in an old shop in London, it's not as expensive as you think, and I haven't given you a gift since we met." ”He said to his sister, "Take it, sister, as a reward for helping me take care of Eric these days." ”"Okay, then."
May couldn't refuse any more, so she put away her skirt, and Eric looked up and complained to Merlin, "Don't I have a gift?"
”"Yes, it's in my box, go find it yourself."
Merlin touched Eric's head, who let out a cheer and rushed into Merlin's room, but a moment later, a scream of frustration came out.Wearing an old cloak, Eric rushed out of the room and said to Merlin, "Old clothes!
Damn it!
Are you going to send me away with this?
”"But don't you think it's cool?"
Merlin said: "Put it on like Zorro!"
Don't you like Zorro the most?
”"That's right."
Fourteen-year-old Eric put on his hood and excitedly made a few grand thief-like poses, and the funny young man drew laughter from all three.The laughter echoed in the darkness, and outside the window, the first snowflakes fell after the Spring Festival in '94, representing the end of the year.and, the hope for the coming year.()
