Melinda's self-introduction didn't last long.Because Merlin asked her a very sharp question."
Melinda, I'm curious, what do your parents do?"
Merlin put down Melinda's file, his hands propped up on the table, his eyes behind his glasses staring at the girl in front of him, and he asked softly, "And, why did you choose to be an agent?"
Your file shows that you have won international awards in figure skating, and that a beautiful girl like you is clearly more promising to become a remote athlete or an actress than to become a secret agent. ”"Can I not answer this question?"
Melinda's expression was a little tangled, which made Coulson, who was sitting next to her, a little surprised and curious.The two of them are friends who met in the Secret Service Academy, and in the special training that was extended to 8 months, Coulson had never seen Melinda, who had a generous personality and super execution, showing such a tangled expression."
No, you have to answer."
Merlin said with a straight face, "You may not be very aware of the special affairs that my operations team is responsible for, and Agent Coulson should know something about this. ”"There are a lot of unexpected situations that arise when dealing with the special events that we are dealing with, and I have to make sure that I really know my subordinates...
You can refuse, Melinda, but I'll return your file to Director Fury. ”"May."
Coulson patted Melinda's arm with some concern, and the latter gritted his teeth and looked up at Merlin's piercing eyes.After a few seconds, she whispered reluctantly, "My father is a businessman, and my mother...
He is a senior field agent in the Strategic Science Corps and has served under Ms.
Carter for more than 25 years.I chose to become a secret agent when I was graduating from college and Ms.
Carter talked to me and she said that I had some kind of talent and persuaded me to join S.H.I.E.L.D. ”"I see."
Merlin's inner doubts were solved.He nodded, and asked, "Do you know Miss Sharon?"
”"Acquaintance."
Melinda said with a blank face, "We grew up together in a community, Sharon took the entrance exam for the S.H.I.E.L.D. secret service academy this year, and maybe next year or the year after, she will also become a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”"Good."
Merlin picked up the file in his hand and returned it to the two newcomers in front of him, he looked at the watch on his wrist, and said to them: "Now go and go through the entry formalities, there is a new mission at 3 o'clock this afternoon, we will meet at the gate of St.
Agnes' Abbey in Hell's Kitchen when the time comes, remember to bring the gun." ”"You two, do you have a problem?"
Merlin drank the water from the glass in his hand, stood up, took out his handbag, and looked at the two newcomers in front of him.They certainly don't have any problems."
See you in the afternoon."
Merlin waved at them, then pushed the door open, and walked away.Watching Merlin leave, in the office, Agent Melinda turned to look at her friend, and she whispered, "He's the Merlin who took you on a mission before?"
You say he took part in the war with the Cree?
I don't look like it...
He's too young, and he's unlike any other agent we've ever seen. ”"That's what you haven't seen him look like on a mission."
Coulson, recalling what he had seen at the Pagasus base and Louisiana, said to Melinda, "Our cohort was supposed to graduate in six months, so why did we have two more months of special training?"
It's because Chief Merlin single-handedly defeated almost 40 students...
So Director Fury thinks that our training is not enough. ”"And he personally captured a Kree interstellar agent captain, which many people know.Finally, Chief Merlin he...
How so?
I think he has some other weird abilities. ”Colson frowned, gathered his file, and said to Melinda, "I've seen with my own eyes, the scene where he disappeared into thin air before my eyes.And then there's Natasha and Instructor Patton, who also have a lot of respect for Chief Merlin, and think he's a very good field agent, and I think that says a lot. ”"Awesome, awesome."
Melinda pursed her lips, and the young girl said, "But I still feel a little strange about him." ”"No stranger than you, you never told me that your mother was also an agent."
Coulson said to Melinda with some surprise: "I always thought you were an ordinary girl, but I didn't expect you to be a person with a background." ”"Come on, Coulson."
Melinda didn't want to talk about it, she shook her short hair, and said: "In this industry, it's not a good thing to have a background, which means you have to work several times harder to get your peers to look at you."
I didn't mean to hide it either, my mother said she didn't want me to get special care for her reasons until I became a senior agent. ”"Why?"
Coulson asked like a curious baby, Melinda's face changed, and she said, "Because the bullets are flying, they don't bypass you just because you have a background."
Ms.
Carter also said that it is better not to be too famous as an agent in this profession. ”"Let's go, let's go through the onboarding process, and then go have a meal to celebrate our onboarding.I don't want to miss the first official mission of the afternoon. ”——————————————————————— Merlin picked up little Eric at St.
Agnes' monastery and asked Father Paul about his recent achievements.Although this 14-year-old child who was adopted by him is not a genius, he is also a very good student.Although Merlin neglected to take care of him due to various emergencies in the past period, he took good care of himself and achieved excellent results in 5 exams.This pleased Merlin, so he took little Eric to a lobster dinner and bought him a few new games as a reward.Near 3 o'clock, he dropped Eric off at his cousin May's house and drove back to St.
Agnes' Abbey.Coulson and Melinda were already waiting for him at the monastery gates.They came by car.Merlin saw at a glance the car that had not been seen for 6 years.That's Lola.The red, classic 1962 Corvette has a photo plate and is very well maintained.Merlin stepped forward, he reached out and stroked Lola's body as he had done before, and under his glasses, a look of nostalgia flashed."
The car is good."
He said to Coulson, who was standing next to the car, and then took out two magazines full of holy silver bullets from his pocket and threw them to Coulson and Melinda: "Replace this!"
Then follow me. ”Coulson didn't hesitate and quickly changed the magazine.Melinda looked at the strange silver bullet in the magazine, and she asked Merlin in front of her, "What is this?"
Sir. ”"Holy Silver Bullet."
Merlin gave a brief reply, then beckoned to them and motioned for them to get into the car.Lola is a two-seater old sports car that can't fit 3 people, so this mission, Merlin has to drive his own car.After Fury became the director, Merlin also benefited.He got a brand new Ford with a black body, a streamlined design, a lot of power, and most importantly a low-key one.Merlin started his car and took a turn down the streets of Hell's Kitchen, heading deep into New York's most chaotic neighborhood.In the back seat, Melinda was still asking, "What is the Holy Silver Bullet?"
Sir, is this bullet a special bullet?
”"It's a weapon against the aliens."
Merlin turned the steering wheel and said to the newcomer behind him: "When you joined the company, you should have been told some things, and I won't repeat them."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
What I'm trying to tell you is that my group deals with problems that ordinary people can't handle.The aliens that hide in the crowd, the creatures that are born in the dark, and the strange supernatural events, these are the things you will have to face in the future. ”"It's hard to hurt them with normal bullets, but Holy Silver bullets can.This time, the Holy Silver Bullet is my support for you. ”Merlin whispered: "The next time you pick up the bullets, remember to show your ID and explain the reason, and the logistics department will distribute a certain number of holy silver bullets to you at the same time."
But those machine-made holy silvers are very formulaic, and they have no soul...
So, you'd better take some time out and learn how to craft the Silver Weapon yourself. ”"That's a bit too idealistic, isn't it?"
Melinda pursed her lips and reached out to load the Holy Silver Magazine into her matching gun.Hearing her complain, Merlin smiled and said, "You can all accept that there are aliens in the world, why can't you accept idealism?"
Listen to me, newcomer, when you are confronted with those aliens, it is difficult for materialism to protect you. ”Ten minutes later, Merlin's car stopped in front of Hell's Kitchen's famous Josie Bar.Merlin walks into the slightly shabby bar with Coulson and Melinda.It would be afternoon, and there would be few people in the bar and the sound would be light.Merlin looked left and right, then walked straight to the corner of the bar, where there was a guy in a yellow trench coat drinking alone."
Tell me, Zakang, what's the trouble again?"
Merlin sat across from the drunken guy, and he looked at Konstantin, who looked a little haggard in front of him.This guy is now a S.H.I.E.L.D. mystery advisor, receives a monthly stipend from S.H.I.E.L.D., and occasionally tries to cheat Fury out of some funds.His half-dead detective agency is still in business, and I've heard that business has been doing quite well lately, and this guy has solved a few rather tricky paranormal events in the past few months, so at least in Manhattan, he already has some fame.Some people call him "Exorcist Detective", of course, more people call him "Zakang", I have to say, this nickname is really appropriate.And because of Konstantin's lavish spending habits, coupled with the fact that this guy always likes to provoke some troublesome women, Merlin will think that he is quite down-and-out whenever he sees him.The two had been married before, but after the Half-Demon incident, they became colleagues.Although the relationship between them is not friendly, they can be regarded as real acquaintances."
It's you."
Konstantin picked up his glass, glanced at Merlin, and quickly lost interest.His gaze fell on the two newcomers behind Merlin, and then quickly gathered on Melinda's face, which went all the way down, resting on her chest for a few seconds, and then resting on the girl's waist.This very impolite gaze immediately attracted Melinda's angry gaze."
I said Fury would send someone to solve the problem...
It turned out to be you. ”Retracting his aggressive gaze, he reached and fumbled through a few pockets of his trench coat, eventually pulling out a crumpled note and tossing it to Merlin.Merlin picked up the note and spread it out in his hand, revealing that it was a strange sign.A dark red ring dotted with an inverted pentagram.This is a sign of the devil of hell, and in magical knowledge, the pentagram is often associated with these things."
I found it on the edge of Hell's Kitchen."
Constantine waved his hand and ordered another glass of wine, and said to Merlin: "A bunch of thugs have tattooed this thing as a sign, and I suppose those fools don't understand the meaning of this sign."
But its appearance in Manhattan is not accidental, especially after the death of Maurice the rabid dog, and the paranormal forces of Hell's Kitchen have been dealt a great blow...
The appearance of this sign is likely to represent some big people who are eyeing this place. ”"It's your job, Konstantin!"
Merlin frowned and said, "We pay you every month, not for you to push your work to someone else.You can't just throw me a clue and other information?
”"Hell, you're asking for a lot!"
Zakang scolded, and then said, "There is a warehouse at the intersection of 13th and 7th streets, which is the base camp of those thugs, you can go and check it out."
You might find something.As for why I'm pushing this job out—" He glanced at Merlin, and said, "Your ancestral home is 'hell,' Merlin.Shouldn't I leave the matter of dealing with your fellow countryman to you?
”Konstantin's statement made Colson and Melinda behind Merlin look dazed, but Merlin's expression became silent and serious, and after a moment, he said to Konstantin: "Okay, I'll deal with it."
But your attitude upsets me, so I'm not going to pay for your drinks this time, you can figure it out yourself. ”"Hi Man!
Don't be so stingy!
”Zakang's expression suddenly became richer, and he said to Merlin: "I've been a little tight lately, otherwise...
You pay for my drink, and I'll tell you something you're sure you're interested in, okay?
”Merlin looked suspiciously at the smiling Zakang in front of him, and after a few moments, he placed a few pieces of money on the table.Zakang glanced at it and shook his head: "I owe money for several drinks, which is not enough." ”"Hell!"
Merlin cursed, took out a few more pieces of money, and put them on the table.He looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said to Merlin, "Be careful lately...
If you can't use magic, don't use it, or just go out and hide. ”"The Magic Congress, it's eyeing you
