Merlin drove the car and sped down the road to Queens.It's past midnight, and even bustling New York has become quiet.Merlin's fingers were on the steering wheel, and he was in a terrible mood.It's not just because of the bad news that has broken out in the cluster over the past few days, but more importantly, Merlin doesn't know how to tell May and Ben the news of Richard and Mary's death.He knew how much his sister was emotional, and he also knew how much his brother-in-law loved his relatives.This is terrible bad news.It's bad news enough to crush a family, and Merlin doesn't even know how he can face little Peter, who is only 2 years old."
Perhaps, it's all because of me," Merlin sighed as he looked out the window into the night.Those secrets that could only be placed in the bottom of his heart were like a mountain pressing on him at this moment, and even made him unable to breathe.And just when Merlin was hesitating about how to relay the bad news to his relatives, May's phone call went to Merlin first.Looking at Mei's avatar lit up on the screen, Merlin didn't even dare to answer the call, he parked the car on the side of the road, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he picked up his phone.As a result, before he could speak, Mei's crying voice rang out first."
Merlin!
Come back soon, something happened. ”"Little Peter...
Little Peter is missing!
”Merlin's eyes became extremely cold at this moment, and he said to Mei on the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, sister, I'll go back immediately." ”The next moment, the Ford parked on the side of the road started again, and in the manner of a racing start, rushed into the night traffic.Merlin didn't know what happened, but it wasn't hard for him to guess that this should be the follow-up to the Richard and Mary incident."
It doesn't matter who you are...""
You're really...
I'm tired of living!
”Ten minutes after —————————————————, Merlin arrived at May's house.Ben was sitting on the couch, comforting the crying pear blossom with the rain Mei, while Charlie and Eric were also sitting depressedly on the chairs on the side.A dull and sad atmosphere enveloped the house, giving one a sense of foreboding."
Merlin, you're finally back."
When she saw her brother, she got up from the sofa and threw herself into Merlin's arms, and she sobbed and said to Merlin: "It's all my fault, I pushed little Peter out to buy something, but as soon as I finished the bill, I found that Peter in the cart was missing...
Someone took him, Merlin, someone took Peter, stole it from our house!
”"Don't worry, I'm here."
Merlin patted his sister's trembling shoulder, and he helped May to sit on the couch, and he turned his head to look at Ben.The silent and worried brother-in-law immediately replied: "We just searched the whole street and called the police, but...""
Merlin, there's something wrong with this!"
Charlie, the girl sitting behind Merlin, clenched her fists and shouted, "We went to see the surveillance, and no one touched the stroller at all, it was like magic, and little Peter disappeared for no reason!"
This is certainly not something that ordinary people do!
”"It's definitely something that can't be captured by a camera."
Eric also helped beside him and said: "I hacked into the CCTV of that store, Charlie is right, it must not be an ordinary person..."
The two children realized that Ben and Mei, who didn't know anything about Merlin's profession, were still around, and Merlin didn't want his sister and brother-in-law to know his identity."
Where's that store?"
Merlin asked."
It's at the end of this street, east of that intersection."
Charlie replied quickly."
Charlie, take care of May."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up, and said to his sister, who was constantly crying and blaming herself, "I'll go to that shop and take a look, don't worry, May, whoever took Peter away, I'll bring him back safe and sound." ”Speaking of this, Merlin's expression was slightly sad, and he said, "I promised Richard and Mary that I would protect their children." ”"I'll go with you."
Ben immediately stood up and went to get his coat, but was stopped by Merlin."
No, brother-in-law, you stay at home."
Merlin subconsciously looked at his wrist, but there was no watch there.He looked back at the clock on the wall with some regret, and he said to Ben, "You still have to work tomorrow, not to mention, my sister also needs you to take care of it."
Erik, you come with me. ”"Good!"
Eric didn't hesitate, and under Charlie's worried gaze, he stood up and followed Merlin out of the house.Due to the proximity, the two did not drive, but walked to the store where Peter had disappeared.As he walked down the street, a silent Merlin suddenly said to Eric, "Little Peter's parents died in a plane accident in South America at noon today. ”"Huh?"
When Eric heard the news, the expression on his face immediately became shocked.He looked at Merlin and said, "You must be joking, aren't you?"
This is not true!
You're just kidding me, they...
How could they...""
It's true."
Merlin accentuated his tone and said, "I was going to tell you the news tonight, but Peter suddenly disappeared the night after his parents' accident...
Erik, tell me, do you think it's a coincidence?
”Eric is a very smart young man, and after Merlin's reminder, he immediately realizes what is going on behind this matter.He said, "Then we...""
I'll go to Peter, as for you..."
Merlin shoved something into Eric's hand, it was a pistol full of holy silver bullets, he took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and said to Eric, "In 5 minutes, you go back to May's house, and you will be responsible for protecting them until I go back."
I'll reach out to my friends and help you in the shadows. ”"Hmm!"
Eric nodded vigorously, he held the pistol in his arms, and then he heard the man on the other side of Merlin's microphone say, "Dobby?
Did you sleep?

I need you to do me a little personal favor. ”———————————————— 5 minutes later, Merlin arrives at the convenience store where Peter has disappeared.He pretended to be a customer and walked around the small shop.Eric and Charlie's speculation is correct, surveillance cameras are not a panacea, and cameras shoot at a fixed frequency, and once the speed of some creatures exceeds this frequency, the surveillance cameras will not see anything abnormal at all.But if it's a different kind of hand, then they will definitely leave some inconspicuous clues on the scene.That's what Merlin needs.Ten seconds later, Merlin came to the counter with a box of silk card cigarettes, and while checking out, he turned on the dark perception to the limit, and at this moment, Merlin smelled a trace of the smell that was close to dissipating.It was a faint smell of blood.Merlin's action of paying stopped at this moment.He knew who had taken Little Peter.Merlin left the convenience store with the cigarette, he walked to the trash can, opened the cigarette, and put the cigarettes in the box into the iron cigarette case that Fury gave him, and the two extra cigarettes were lit by Merlin and the other was thrown into the trash.In the night, a faint wind blew Merlin's trench coat, and in the drifting smoke, Merlin dialed another number."
You rarely call me."
A gentle voice came from the microphone, and he said, "So it makes me a little curious, what is there that can work on Minister Merlin's mastership?"
”"I was just on a business trip a while ago, Aeginus."
Merlin puffed on the smoke ring and said, "As a result, as soon as I returned to New York, I heard about the vampires making trouble here, and those guys have been restless lately.I mean, are you just looking at it?
Not ready to take action?
”"There are few of us."
The high-ranking Auror of the Wizarding Congress on the other end of the line explained, "To carry out a large-scale operation, the cooperation of the S.D.O.L.D. is necessary, but the problem is, there seems to be a bit of chaos on your side lately. ”"I'm back."
Merlin said, "There's no more confusion. ”"So, what do you mean by calling?""
Assemble your men."
Merlin snuffed out his half-burned cigarette by the trash can, clenched the steel cane in his hand, and said softly, "In two hours, we'll go get rid of the vampires."
If the rats in the night want a real war this time, then I'm definitely with you. ”The Auror on the other end of the line didn't answer immediately, and after a few seconds, he asked in a cautious tone, "I have to make sure first, Minister Merlin, what do you mean by 'settle'?"
”Merlin replied in a calm tone, "Maybe I didn't make it clear just now, so I'll explain again, I want these guys to 'die'." ”"When I say 'death,' I mean it very seriously.I want the kind of people with blue noses and swollen faces, brains splashing, frightened faces, full of regrets...
Die!
”Merlin's tone was very light, but the killing intent that came out made the high-level Aurors on the other end of the microphone stunned for a moment.After a few seconds, he laughed dryly: "Hehe, after coming back from this business trip, your anger is really big." ”"Some people are responsible for having wonderful families, while others are responsible for protecting them."
Merlin replied with a word, he looked up at the night overhead, and he whispered, "This is our mission, this is our duty, this feast that the vampires intend to hold in New York, we have been absent for too long...
It's always rude to be late, so we'll have to hurry. ”Merlin's figure turned into smoke at this moment, and quickly rushed into the sky of the dark alley, and Victor, the spirit of the raven, let out a hiss, and under Merlin's order, he also rushed out in the direction where the bloody qi disappeared.Suspended in mid-air, he connected to Victor's horizon, and in a perceptual way, he quickly searched for his target among tens of thousands of lives.And on the phone in his ear, the high-ranking Auror Auror Athenus had confirmed that Merlin really planned to do it.Then his voice became serious, and he said, "Even if you add your S.D.O.L.D.We can't clean up the whole of New York at once.There are more than 400,000 vampires in the city, and millions more on the entire East Coast, and once they get the news, the problem will be serious. ”"No, no."
Merlin shook his head, and he said, "Let's change the way this time, we clean up district by district, and start with...
Well, let's start with Queens.I'll be waiting for you here in 2 hours...
Don't be late. ”With that, Merlin hung up.He called Fury again, and since the two had just argued, Fury's tone was not good when he answered the phone."
What's the matter, Merlin?""
Richard and Mary's son, kidnapped by vampires."
Merlin said, "I'm going to get him out and clean up New York by the way, the weapons we just bought from Elsa are just in time." ”"Hell!
Merlin, you were suspended just 30 minutes ago!
”Fury said, "You don't have the authority to launch such a clean-up operation at all!"
”"Oh, Fury, what do you mean—" Merlin asked in a cold tone, "You're going to stand by on this matter?"
Little Peter's parents, but...""
Don't talk about it."
Fury interrupted Merlin's sarcasm, saying, "Agent Coulson is in charge of this operation, and you've always valued him anyway, haven't you?"
”"You join the operation as a temporary consultant, and when it's over, stay at home honestly and wait for the review!
The weapons are in the S.D.O.L.D. weapons warehouse, and I'll give Agent Coulson access to them. ”"Thanks, Fury."
Merlin thanked Fury, and then sent mission instructions to his three supervisors, Coulson, Melinda, and Sharon, and two hours was enough time for a total of 80 agents from the four operational teams under the command of S.D.O.L.D. to assemble and prepare.Of course, before this sudden action begins, Merlin must do a good job of gathering information in advance.He wants to start a war, and he can't let his warriors rush into battle with a black eye.He was suspended in the sky of Queens, his perception superimposed on that of the Raven Spirit, scanning back and forth through the streets of Queens like a double radar.Merlin remembered the precise location of one vampire stronghold after another, and he was now in a very calm state, but the anger in his heart was always there.Tonight, he will no longer join the fight as Agent Merlin.In its place, a warrior in search of his loved ones."
I guess this is the life I'm meant to live..."
In the Queens sky, in the howling cold wind, Merlin closed his eyes, and he whispered, "Make a choice, then live for it, fight for it, and finally, die for it." ”"It's tough, but finally...""
I made a choice.""
Little Peter, wait for me, uncle...
Pick you up and take you home soon. ”()
