In general, after the loss of vision, a blind person's other senses become sharpened.This is the body's instinct to make up for it, and in order to continue life and fill the defects caused by the lack of vision, other organs will try to "replace" the role of the eye.Merlin knew this, and he could understand the sound Matt made when he heard him move.But what he couldn't understand was how little Matt, who couldn't see things with his eyes, accurately distinguished his identity.Perhaps sensing Merlin's doubts, Little Matt whispered, "I can smell you." ”"Huh?"
Hearing this, Merlin immediately raised his arm and sniffed it.He didn't smell anything, he was a clean person."
You don't smell like anyone else, Mr.
Merlin.When you took me to the hospital, I remembered the taste. ”"It tastes like ice cream, and there's always a special coldness," says Matt.So you sit here, and I know you're coming. ”"But I can't smell anything."
Merlin looked at the unfortunate child in front of him, he smiled and said, then reached out and stroked little Matt's hair.It's been more than a year since he took Matt Jr., who had an accident, to the hospital.The 9-year-old has changed a lot from the last time Merlin saw him.His chestnut hair grew a little, and the freckles on his face had faded a little, and if you looked closely, the kid actually looked quite handsome in sunglasses.He's a little taller and thinner than he was a year ago.And, presumably because of the loss of sight, the child seemed more stable and silent than his peers.He spoke like a little adult."
Your father went to a boxing tournament in Russia and was going to become a professional boxer."
Merlin looked at little Matt and said, "Before leaving, he commissioned me to come and see you, and if he could, he intended to let you stay at my house."
Let me ask you, would you like to?
”"Daddy...", little Matt's expression became sad at the mention of his father.He folded his book, turned around in his chair, and held his cane in both hands, almost exactly like Merlin, who was now sitting on the edge of the bed with a cane.The child, who was wearing sunglasses, "looked" at Merlin in his own way, and he said: "Did he really go to Russia?"
”"Of course."
Merlin said without changing his face: "If you want to see him, I can take you to Russia now." ”"You're lying!"
Little Matt suddenly erupted.At this moment, the child clenched the guide stick in his hand and screamed at Merlin, "You are all lying!
Priests, nuns, and you, you are all liars!
My dad didn't leave, so he wouldn't leave me alone!
”"He's just in a hurry, because the league is about to start, and he doesn't even have time to say goodbye to you, Matt!"
Merlin's tone became a little softer, and he said, "He's a good father, you should know that better than anyone else, he went so far just to give you a better one...""
Daddy is dead!"
Matt's next sentence completely interrupted all the lies that Merlin had worked so hard to weave.Merlin looked at the sobbing little Matt in front of him with some surprise, and at this moment, he suspected that someone else had revealed the news of Jack's death to Matt.Who is it?
Could it be Sister Maggie?
Could it be that Merlin mistook the nun?
Is her heart so vicious?"
I heard gunshots..."
Little Matt took off his sunglasses, he wiped his tears a little awkwardly, and he said to Merlin intermittently, "When I got into the taxi, I heard the voices of those people talking to Dad.They swear, they beat my dad, I wanted to go down to help, but the driver with the strange accent wouldn't let me go down, I heard my dad bleeding, I heard my dad being knocked to the ground, I heard ..."
They shot ...
Daddy's heartbeat stopped, I heard it!
I hear them all!
You're all lying to me!
”Merlin stood up, he reached out and pressed the somewhat agitated little Matt, and he said gently, "No, that's not true. ”"That's just some auditory hallucinations, which happens occasionally with a kid your age.Listen to me, normal people's hearing can't hear those sounds, you heard it wrong. ”Merlin reached out and gently hugged Matt's head in his arms, and he whispered: "Trust me, your father is still alive, he is in Russia, in Moscow, I don't have to lie to you, child."
I can take you there, and I can even get him back to New York to accompany you. ”Caught in his arms, Matt stopped struggling, he became quiet, seemed to be listening, and after a few seconds, he said to Merlin, "Your heart is beating a little faster, you're lying." ”"Huh?"
Merlin looked at the child in his arms suspiciously.As if to confirm that what he heard was not fake, Matt continued: "There's something in your veins that flows with your blood.There are a lot of weird things in the left pocket of your clothes, there are guns, there are sticks, there are a lot of boxes covered together, and in that box, something is beating...
I could hear it beating violently, like lightning bolts that had been sealed. ”Matt raised his head, and he looked at Merlin suspiciously: "How can you put so many things in your pocket?"
”Merlin's expression became serious at this moment, he let go of Matt, crouched in front of him, he looked at the child, and asked, "What else can you hear?"
”"I can hear a lot."
Little Matt's expression was also a little dazed at this moment, he raised his head, "looked" at the window in front of him, he reached out and opened the window, he felt the night wind, and the sound of the wind, he said: "There are birds chirping in the park, boats moving in the water, Tucker is bullying the women again, I heard him whip them." ”"I heard that there was a car accident at the 11th Street corner, and the girl who was hit was not injured, but the driver's heartbeat was getting weaker and weaker.""
I heard a car come to a halt."
Matt Jr. stood up, and he looked to the east side: "Right on the edge of 6th Street, someone got out of the car, he's knocking on the door, he's calling your name." ”"Wait a minute..."
Merlin felt the phone in his pocket vibrate at this moment, he took out the phone, and glanced at it, it was Coulson calling.He picked up his phone, put it to his ear, and the next moment, he heard Coulson's voice."
Sir, are you home?
I'm on your doorstep right now. ”At this moment, Merlin's eyes looked at little Matt, and he knew...
The child in front of him lost his sight in an accident, but he got something more.Something surprising enough."
I'm not home right now."
Merlin asked, "Are you looking for me at this time?"
Colson. ”"Jimmy encountered a paranormal event in Central City, and while he was investigating, he accidentally discovered that the person had something to do with you, sir.So he called and asked, do you need to deal with this personally. ”"Huh?
Central City?
”Merlin's brow furrowed, and he said, "Is it Mr.

Henry?"
”"Yes, Henry.
Allan. ”Coulson replied, "He's involved in a murder case that Jimmy has confirmed has something to do with the paranormal." ”"Well, how could someone like Henry kill someone?"
Merlin smiled, and he casually asked, "Who is the deceased?"
What does it have to do with Henry. ”Coulson's tone became a little heavy at this moment, and he said to Merlin: "The deceased...
It was Mr.
Henry's wife, Lady Nora. ”"Snap" The mobile phone in Merlin's hand was completely crushed at this moment, under the uncontrollable force.————————————— "Huh" in the glow of the long-distance shapeshifting charm, Merlin, wearing a trench coat and a cane, appeared in Central City, in front of the Allen Mansion in his memory.His body had not yet healed, and the long-distance displacement across half of North America had put some pressure on him.He coughed a few times, then walked with his cane to the sealed mansion in the darkness of the night.The Central City Police officers had already put up a cordon banner around them, and as Merlin was walking towards them by the light of the streetlights, they were intending to prevent him from entering the scene of the crime.Merlin took his ID from the pocket of his trench coat and placed it in front of the cops.The conspicuous sign of the Level 6 Agent Supervisor made these cops stand in awe.According to the rank comparison between S.H.I.E.L.D. and other departments, a Level 6 agent is equivalent to a major in the army and a detective in a divisional police department, of course, this is only a theoretical class, since agents and police are not a system, so when necessary, these police officers can completely ignore Merlin.But in general, no one wants to get into trouble with an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., which belongs only to the World Security Council.So the officers took a step back and made way for Merlin.Merlin's expression was very gloomy.Although he has not had much contact with the Allen couple in the past few years, this couple occupies a very important place in his life.They, like Old Stan and Vico, had given Merlin the strength to persevere when he was desperate.Especially the kind-hearted Alan couple are Merlin's memorable friends.But now, his friend has suffered bad luck."
Sir!"
S.D.O.L.D.
Level 3 Agent Jimmy Wu, who was collecting evidence in a messy room, immediately greeted his commander when he saw Merlin.Merlin waved his hand and motioned for him to go about his business.He stood in the living room covered in blood and stains, and the events of the past were still vivid.He remembered the delicious breakfast he had eaten at Allen's mansion, the slightly fearful but still kind look on Lady Nora's face, and the sincerity with which Henry had kept him.Merlin closed his eyes and stroked the chair next to him, which was still sitting next to the table as before, years later.He sighed.A few years ago, he thought that the Allen couple had escaped the doom that followed him, but a few years later, the doom that had been dodged had returned."
Did you find anything?"
Merlin asked.Beside him, Agent Jimmy looked at the notes in his hand and said to his officer, "There hasn't been much of a valuable discovery, Chief Merlin.We only detected a faint residual energy in the house, and those energies were dissipating rapidly, and the deceased was stabbed in the heart with a knife, and the murder method was precise, and the deceased did not suffer much before he died. ”"It wasn't Henry's doing!"
Merlin said, "Definitely not him. ”"But there are only his fingerprints on the dinner knife, which are very clear."
Agent Jimmy was a little embarrassed and said, "And there were only his children at the scene at the time, except for Mr.
Henry."
While we know there must be something hidden in this, we can't prove it, the energy is so weird that we can't even leave evidence that it ever existed. ”"Then check!"
Merlin said to the agents beside him, "Put down all the things you have at hand, focus on this matter, and find out!"
Find out the results!
”"Yes, sir."
Agent Jimmy accepted his new assignment, and as a member of S.D.O.L.D., he was used to dealing with the chatter of the gods."
Where are Henry and his children?"
Merlin asked, and Agent Jimmy replied, "Mr.
Henry is now at the police station, and Barry Jr. was temporarily taken to his home by a sheriff who was a friend of the deceased and Mr.
Henry.The body of the deceased is in the morgue of the police station, but with all due respect, sir, there is nothing suspicious about that body, I have already seen it. ”"Hmm."
Merlin nodded, he stopped talking, and turned to leave the house.Standing in the night, Merlin glanced back at the Allen Mansion behind him, and he could imagine what a happy and peaceful place it used to be, but now it had become a place of death.A place of ominous and calamity.He clenched his fists.He didn't know if it should have happened, and he didn't know if it really had anything to do with him, but the guilt in his heart had never been so strong.Merlin wants to do the right thing, he wants to fight for order, he wants to fight for the people he cares about, he fights for the people he loves, but this time, the people he cares about may be hurt because of him.This made Merlin's heart very heavy, and the pressure almost made him breathless.Under the dim starlight, he raised his head and looked at the sky above him, he gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "Does it have to be like this?"
”"You guys!""
Do you have to do this!!
