The Ministry of Magic, an agency similar to the Wizarding World Police Department.Few wizards would like this institution, because no matter what country or continent, the Ministry of Magic plays a regulatory and punitive role.Merlin is not a novice wizard now, he has been immersed in magical knowledge for 3 years, and he is very aware of some of the traditions of the wizarding world.It is said that in various countries, the Ministry of Magic has spells to oversee cities, similar to the Scout Barrier in the City of London.No wizard can cast spells without the permission of the Ministry of Magic, and it is strictly forbidden to cast spells in front of Muggles.It is said that the North American Ministry of Magic was only established in 1963.Compared with those magic institutions in Europe that have been inherited for thousands of years, the Ministry of Magic in North America is an out-and-out "young man".Merlin learned from books that the establishment of the Ministry of Magic in North America was the result of a terrible disaster.That is, the tragic Salem witch trial that took place in 1962.That terrible incident seriously damaged the image of North American wizards in the eyes of their European counterparts, and for a period of time, North American wizards were even openly called "barbarians of the New World", which made the North American wizarding community very annoyed.But the Salem witch trial did expose the chaotic and chaotic reality of the North American wizarding world.At the call of some famous wizards of the time, the Ministry of Magic of North America was established in the second year of the Salem witch trial.Oh, the official name of the North American Ministry of Magic should be called "Magical Congress".This was to distinguish itself from the European Ministries of Magic and to show its independence.And the first thing I did when I heard that the Magic Congress was formed was to put the trial of those who were cruel and extremely hostile to wizards.The Purges are fallen sorcerers who hunt their own kind for their own selfish gain.The Salem witch trial, which resulted in the death of more than 20 people and the forced imprisonment of 200 people, was the work of extreme purges.Dark wizards who committed murder, trafficking in wizard populations, torture, and other atrocities were executed in the following years.It can be said that the slightly barbaric style of the Magical Congress of North America was established at that time.Merlin knew about the existence of the Wizarding Congress, and he also knew that in Carroll's hometown of Massachusetts, there was the only magical school in North America, the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.But he didn't really want to deal with the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, after all, the last time he was in London, the process of dealing with the Aurors was not pleasant.And for the reminder that Konstantin gave him, Merlin did not doubt it.Zakang is a person who has a terrible style, but such a terrible bastard can be like a fish in water in Hell's Kitchen, which proves Zakang's ability.He has his own news channels, and since Zakang has received the money, he will not deceive people in this kind of matter.In other words, Merlin's activity some time ago really made the Magic Congress target him.In fact, if you think about it carefully, the taboo in the wizarding world, Merlin has indeed violated almost all of them.He had an affair with demons, used magic in front of Muggles, illegally crafted forbidden portkeys, and worked for the Muggle government, gathering information on magical creatures.Truth be told, if Merlin was really caught, he would have been thrown into a magical prison for at least 20 years or so based on what he had done in the past.Zakon's reminder made Merlin decide that he would not use magic again for the next period of time unless necessary.At the very least, don't use magic in front of Muggles.There was a soft "click", and the magazine filled with holy silver bullets was stuffed into the black Colt pistol.Merlin placed the pistol in the holster around his waist and looked out the window.Beside him, Melinda also held a telescope, observing the warehouse hidden in the woods in the distance.It's afternoon, the sun is about to set, and the whole neighborhood is covered in a brilliant halo.Under the watchful eyes of the three agents, over the past 1 hour, more than 20 dressed or tattooed guys have entered the warehouse in front of them from all directions.In Merlin's spiritual vision, he could clearly see the faint black magic emanating from the warehouse.It was indeed dark magic from hell.The news of Zakang is true, this warehouse must be a stronghold similar to a cult."
They're gathering, and that's not normal."
Melinda whispered, "A secret society, maybe it's engaged in some illegal business, it may be illegal detention or...""
No, much more serious than those."
Merlin looked at the time, and he decided not to wait any longer.He said to Melinda and Coulson, "I'll go in from the front, and you two will be guarding outside."
Anyone who runs out of it, do not hesitate to shoot!
”With that, Merlin opened the car door, buttoned up his casual suit, and walked towards the warehouse with his gun in hand.Instead of using atomization while Coulson and Melinda were around, he politely reached out and knocked on the warehouse door.There were three soft "duke" sounds, and a moment later, the door opened.A black man with a strange Chinese character tattoo on his neck poked his head out, gave Merlin a vicious look, and said, "This is private territory, get out of here!"
”Merlin didn't answer, he looked at the little thug in front of him, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a scarlet point of light.This means that this guy has been exposed to the true magic of darkness and is beginning to be infected.The little thug was furious by Merlin's whole body, and he scolded and was about to close the door.But the next moment, his wrist was clasped by Merlin."
I'd like to participate in the party you guys are driving inside."
Merlin whispered.The black cultist wanted to resist, but Merlin swung his kick, and in the brute force explosion, the people in front of him, including the iron door, were kicked into the warehouse.The loud "bang" interrupted the strange ritual in the warehouse.In front of Merlin, in the warehouse, more than 20 unscrupulous fellows were kneeling around a rough stone altar, and they were still chanting words.On the floor beneath them, a mess of runes was drawn with some strange red liquid, and in front of the altar lay a little lamb that had just been slaughtered.These guys look like they're sacrificing, but their sacrifices are terrible.They were very good at killing sheep, and the sacrifice was stained with disgusting blood.To tell the truth, if there is really a devil watching them, such a bad sacrifice will definitely not let them win the favor of the devil."
Blasphemer!"
Seeing his brother smashing to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth and nose, miserable.The leader of the cult, a bald man with a bare shirt, roared angrily, and he grabbed the pistol in his hand and was about to fire, but Merlin was faster and more accurate than him."
Bang" The silver-white bullet flew out of the chamber of the gun, and accurately broke the palm of the bald man's hand.Because these people were all eroded by the faint dark magic, the Holy Silver Bullet caused the damage on their bodies to be higher than that of ordinary bullets.In the screams of the bald man, on the shattered palm, smoke burst out of his flesh and blood as if it had been burned.He yelled and incited the others to attack Merlin, and he himself took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the warehouse.But at the moment when this guy rushed out of the warehouse, with a coquettish shout, Melinda, who had been in ambush for a long time, kicked the panicked guy to the ground.Melinda stepped forward and quickly squeezed the handcuffs around the guy's wrists.But just when she thought it was over, she saw the bald man grinning at her, and there was a hint of contempt on that evil and hideous face."
Pop" bursts of scorching light like flames appeared on the bald man's skin, and he easily broke free from the strong handcuffs.Seeing this, Melinda threw a fist and smashed it into the guy's face, but it didn't make the other party show a painful expression at all, and her other fist was accurately grabbed by the cultist.Melinda felt like her wrist had been touched by a piece of red-hot iron, and the pain of her skin being burned made her scream, and then she was pinned to the ground by the bald head.The cultist raised his hand, and in the palm of his hand, the melted handcuffs were like daggers, and perhaps in the next moment, they would pierce Melinda's neck."
Bang" is another gunshot.The hideousness on the face of the bald man who was about to commit violence froze at this moment, and in his eyes, the light of life was rapidly dissipating.He looked at the young man with a pistol in front of him in disbelief, then looked down at his chest, where a holy silver bullet pierced his heart, stirring it up and killing him from the last of his life.The corpse, which had been blasted out of the chest, fell to the ground beside Melinda, and the stinking blood mixed with the strange smell splashed on the girl's face.Melinda quickly broke free from the fast-cooling fingers, and she was lifted up from the ground by Coulson, and Melinda's right wrist was already covered with a bloody wound.Her skin was scorched, and the unbearable pain made the strong and reckless girl pale.Without Coulson's support, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand up."
Thank you, Coulson."
Melinda, who still had blood on her face, whispered."
Nothing, nothing."
Coulson, who had just shot and killed the rioter, was still in the midst of his first killing, and this was not the first time he had shot.In Louisiana, he shot and wounded a disguised Scrul.But this time, he shot and killed a cultist at close range, and the scene of blood splattering obviously had a stronger visual impact on him.At the feet of the two men, the corpse that was emitting strange black smoke meant that they had truly stepped into Merlin's world."
You're hurt?"
One minute later, Merlin walked out of the warehouse unscathed as he straightened his cuffs.Behind him, more than 20 stunned cultists lay there, and the altar that exuded dark magic had been completely destroyed by Merlin.He looked at Melinda, who was sitting on the side, with a pale face, and the corpse in front of him, he walked up to Melinda, crouched down, and examined the terrible burns on his subordinates' wrists, he frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Didn't I tell you to shoot people when they saw them running out?
”"I'm sorry, sir."
Melinda, whose face was still stained with blood, said guiltily, "I thought I could capture him alive." ”"There's no point in capturing them alive."
Merlin took a small box out of his pocket, he motioned for Coulson to grab Melinda's arm, and he whispered to the two rookies, "These people are infected by dark magic, they have been exposed to taboos that they can't understand and shouldn't touch, their minds have been distorted...
In other words, they've gone crazy. ”"You can't get useful information from a madman.Hold back the pain!
”Merlin spoke, then opened the box, took out a vial, and carefully poured the amber liquid over Melinda's wound.The liquid and the wound touched, and a faint white smoke rose.Melinda gritted her teeth, but she couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and her other hand gripped Coulson's wrist tightly, and the force of that finger made Coulson grin in pain.But the biting pain lasted only a few seconds, followed by a comforting coolness.Melinda looked down and saw that the horrible burn wound on her wrist was no longer bleeding and was covered in a strange layer of liquid."
This!"
Merlin placed the vial filled with amber liquid in Melinda's hand, and said, "I call it trauma potion, it's a very useful gadget, remember to apply it twice a day, it will recover in about 5 days...
Don't get wet, understand?
”"Hmm."
Melinda nodded.Merlin stood up, took out his phone, and called the nearby police station, asking them to send someone over to clean up the mess.He looked down at the two embarrassed rookies, he shook his head, and said, "Now you know what kind of trouble my team is dealing with, right?"
”"This is unlike anything you've been to before, and I'm sure you may not have really been prepared.So I'll give you another chance to choose. ”"If you can accept it, then tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, go to work in the old place.If you can't accept it, go to Hitwell for a transfer, I've already greeted him...
Well, that's all for today, and I hope you can learn something. ”"Coulson, you send Melinda back.""
Hmm."
Coulson nodded, and he helped Melinda out of the blood-soaked warehouse.Merlin watched the two men leave, and it wasn't until they disappeared that Merlin took something out of his pocket, a strange badge of iron, with the sign of an inverted pentagram on it.He had found it in the altar, and it was it that gave these third-rate thugs access to magic.On top of that, behind this badge, there's a name written in demonic language...
That's someone Merlin knew."
Damon.
Hellstorm..."
Merlin looked at the name, then turned his head to look in the direction of Wall Street, he put away his badge, and he whispered, "The powerful half-demon hidden in Wall Street...
What do you want to do?
