New York, Queens, when the sky was dark, the purge came to an end.In Merlin's frowning gaze, dozens of "ghost fans" in handcuffs, looking frightened, and dressed not like normal people, walked into the prisoner van under the escort of the agents with loaded guns.Among them were unkempt boys and girls, who looked like they had been tortured for a long time.and a handful of handcuffed, flattering-looking vampires."
Melinda seems to have told you, Coulson."
Merlin said to his subordinates, "We will not accept prisoners this time.Do you misunderstand the words 'eradication' and 'deterrence'?
”"No, sir."
Coulson replied in a low voice, "I carried out the order, and the vampires were alive because they were cooperative, they didn't fight us, and they took us to destroy a hidden stronghold that the vampires used to imprison their 'prey', from where we rescued a dozen missing people." ”Coulson said to Merlin very seriously: "I think it's worth it and right to exchange their lives for the lives of a dozen of my compatriots." ”Merlin didn't immediately answer Coulson's explanation, he glanced at the poor people who were put in the ambulance, and he said, "Well, this is doing good."
You're right, Coulson.What about those 'ghost fans'?
What are you going to do with them?
”"They're going to be put in a psychiatric hospital."
Coulson said with a look of disgust: "Many of them have already drunk human blood, they are not normal people, and they cannot be released into society." ”"Then why is it so troublesome?"
Merlin asked, "Why don't you purge them on the spot?"
You should know that several trials over the past few years have proven that once you become a 'ghost fan', it is basically impossible to go back. ”"I know that I was in charge of those trials, and I know the results of the trials very well."
Coulson's tone was a little low, and after a few seconds, he said, "But I still think they should have a second chance, even though they probably don't need to."
But whether they are willing to turn back is one thing, and whether we give it or not is another. ”Coulson looked at Merlin and said, "We're a conservation organization after all. ”Merlin shook his head, he didn't discuss this with Coulson anymore.He reached out, took his ID and gun out of his pocket, and handed it to Coulson, who said to Coulson, "It may be some time before I can get back to S.D.O.L.D.This time, I really Fury. ”"In my absence, you were the acting minister."
Merlin lit a cigarette, he took a puff of smoke, and said to Coulson, "The vampires will not be suppressed like this, this deterrent operation can calm down some of the vampires, but the one who set off the division within the vampires.
Forrester is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it will certainly find a way to fight back. ”"During this time, you will be under a lot of pressure."
Merlin looked at Coulson, and he accentuated his tone, "It's the same thing when you're the executor of orders.But when you're in command, it's a different story.I want you to know the difference between being kind and being kind to the majority, and I want you to give the right orders and make the right judgments when necessary. ”"I—" Coulson looked at the ID in his hand, he didn't know how to answer Merlin's persuasion.But Merlin doesn't care, anyone grows up under pressure, and he believes Coulson won't let him down.And just as Merlin turned to leave, Coulson suddenly stepped forward, and he said to Merlin: "Sir, I think, maybe Melinda or Sharon, is more suitable than me to lead temporarily...""
Nope."
Merlin looked back at Coulson, he saw the worry and pressure in Coulson's eyes, he thought for a while, and said to Coulson: "I know you have always wondered why among the three of you, I am especially partial to you and value you very much. ”"You are indeed flawed...
Phil. ”Merlin looked back at the light of dawn covering the city in front of him little by little, and he whispered, "You are not as strong as Melinda, nor as decisive as Sharon, and you will hesitate to carry out some of the colder orders.You're always trying to find a way to get things done without hurting other people, even if it puts you under a lot of stress and even danger. ”"There are flaws in your soul that can't tolerate you choosing between one life and many lives, and you take it as a sign of weakness, yes, in many cases, it's really weakness.""
But do you know why Fury agrees with me letting you lead S.D.O.L.D." on your behalf?"
Merlin pressed the cigarette in his hand on the railing next to it, and said to Coulson, "Your flaw means that when our lives are hanging by a thread...
We can count on you, and we don't have to worry that you'll sacrifice us to save everyone else, because you're always going to try to save everyone, you know?
”Merlin held out his finger and tapped it on Coulson's chest as he did 10 years ago, and said, "That's why I pulled you in here, and I put you in this position...
Those flaws are your strengths.I'm sure you won't make me regret it, and you won't let yourself down. ”"I'm not going to stay in S.D.O.L.D. forever, Fury...
He has a lot of plans, and perhaps fate, has already laid out the path for me. ”"One day, when I need to leave, I wish I could leave without worry," Merlin said. ”Coulson didn't answer, he looked at Merlin's ID and gun in his hand, he didn't know how to respond to Merlin's sudden persuasion, he could even feel that there were other meanings in Merlin's words.But that's what he is now, and he can't understand it."
Give me your watch."
Merlin spoke, and Coulson immediately untied his watch and handed it to Merlin.It wasn't an expensive watch, it was just an agent's watch, and although it was of excellent quality, it wasn't a famous brand or any meaningful souvenir.Merlin waved the watch in his hand, he took out his official car keys from his pocket, and threw them to Coulson: "This thing belongs to me, you can go to the logistics department to get another one."
Help me put the car back in the base garage, I won't need it until I rejoin. ”"I'll go first, I still have some things to do."
With that, he waved his hand to Melinda and Sharon, who were not far away, and walked to the taxi that had been waiting for him on the side of the street for ten minutes, and then drove out of the neighborhood to the accompaniment of cheerful Indian music.From this moment on, S.H.I.E.L.D.
Level 7 Agent, Merlin Riley, head of S.D.O.L.D., was officially suspended.——————————————— "Oh, oh my God. ”Ten minutes later, Merlin rubbed his forehead and walked out of the taxi with a painful expression.He took a few bills out of his pocket and handed them to the young, Indian-looking driver in his mid-20s, who complained, "Dupunde, my friend."
It's not the first time I've ridden in your car, I tip you handsomely every time and call you to help me when I'm not driving myself.Hell, where am I not doing well enough to make you torture me with all this headache-inducing music every time you pick me up?
”"Huh?"
The young Indian driver, this handsome little brother, said to Merlin with a blank face: "Mr.
Merlin, don't you like the music of my hometown?"
But why didn't you say it before?
I saw you with your eyes closed, and I thought you were enjoying it. ”"Shet!"
Merlin scolded, "You were born in Brooklyn!"
You haven't been to India at all...
It's not your hometown. ”He glanced down at the watch on his wrist and said to Dupende, "Just wait for me here, I'll be back in 20 minutes at most." ”With that, Merlin hurriedly turned away and walked towards a warehouse in the distance.Behind him, the Indian driver, Du Pengde, shouted: "Mr.
Merlin, if you are waiting for the service to be paid, I will start the timer now!"
You'd better hurry. ”Merlin ignored the shouts of the guy behind him.Du Pengde is actually barely a friend of Merlin.Ever since Merlin sat in his car a few years ago and received his business card, when Merlin wasn't driving, he would basically call Du Pengde to pick him up.This guy drives very steadily, and when necessary, he can also dare to drag race in the streets of New York.On top of that, Duppon was lucky, almost to the point of a strange situation.From the first time Merlin sat in his car, Merlin found out that Dubander, a guy with a bad taste in music, almost never encountered a red light when driving...
At least in the time Merlin was in his car, Merlin had never seen this driver waste time because of a red light.Duppon himself probably didn't even notice this, he just thought he was a lucky man.But Merlin is different.For a while, Merlin was plagued by bad luck, so he had an almost stubborn insistence on this ethereal thing.After discovering Du Pengde's good luck, Merlin has been keeping in touch with him, he has no other thoughts, just pure hope that Du Pengde's strange luck can change his own bad luck a little.But for now...
It doesn't seem to have any effect."
But keep going, there's always something to be gained, right?"
Merlin looked at the warehouse in the middle of nowhere in Brooklyn in front of him, he moved his fingers, and his figure quickly disappeared without anyone paying attention.Merlin waited patiently in the warehouse for nearly 15 minutes, and when the time agreed between Quinn and the butler who had issued the task of kidnapping Little Peter arrived, Merlin, who was standing in the dark, heard the sound of the warehouse opening.He barely wasted a second, and the moment the butler, who was protected by four bodyguards with big shoulders and round waists, walked into the warehouse, the black mist that rose enveloped all the five people in front of him.

“Legilimens！
(Dementor Spell) "In the diffuse black fog, the old butler in his 60s was broken through by Merlin's will before he could react.But unfortunately, the old butler didn't know much, at least not as much as Merlin thought.Even the simple ring he carried on his finger had been handed down to him by his father, and the butler did not know what the pattern of value meant.Still, Merlin found the clues he needed.The old housekeeper's father was also a housekeeper, and his father and his two generations served the same family.A family of bankers who migrated from Europe to New York at the outbreak of World War II and have been passed down to the present day.That's what Merlin needs...
“Obliviate!
Merlin put away the black mist, threw a few Oblivion Charms on the five people who fell to the ground behind him, and then walked briskly into the warehouse as he came.A few minutes later, he returned to Dupende's car, and he said to Dupende: "Go to the West End, Greenwich Village, and...
Turn off the damn music before I blow your head out!
”Greenwich Village is a symbol of New York's multiculturalism, but Merlin's destination is not here, to be precise, a set of high-end estates not far from Greenwich Village.It was the mansion of the old butler's master.In Merlin's search memories, it was the owner of the butler who issued the order for the kidnapping of Little Peter.Most importantly, in the old butler's memory, his master, a wealthy but low-key banker from the upper class of New York, had a similar ring on his finger.That banker definitely has something to do with Hydra!
Merlin's knowledge of the Hydra organization comes from the information left by Ms.
Carter.During the Second World War, Hydra was an intelligence and armed organization in the service of Hitler, and was the base camp for the development of evil weapons for ***.It was also the biggest opponent of the Strategic Science Corps, which was later formed.According to the records left by Ms.
Carter, this organization has disappeared into history with the defeat of *** Germany.In the 60s and 70s, the Strategic Science Corps also launched Operation "Paperclip", recruiting a group of people from the Hydra scientists to work for the Strategic Science Corps, and those scientists were strictly monitored and did not make any big trouble.But now, Merlin has seen the Hydra emblem again.The dark red symbol like a skeleton octopus made Merlin wonder if the original "Paperclip" operation was really successful, and if Hydra had really disappeared?
He still remembered that at Ms.
Carter's house at the time, the mysterious old Steve had also reminded him that Hydra was probably not dead yet.Perhaps, this damn organization is hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
No sooner had Richard and Mary died than little Peter was kidnapped."
Merlin stared at the secluded mansion in front of him, and he whispered, "What do you want?"
”The dark perception spread outward, and under Merlin's invisible search, he soon discovered the secrets inside the mansion in front of him.The seemingly secluded mansion is surrounded by state-of-the-art surveillance cameras, and nearly 30 security guards patrol around and inside the mansion."
So, you really have a secret."
Merlin's eyes narrowed, and his body turned into a black mist, seeping towards the mansion in front of him.The banker kept his house well-guarded, but unfortunately these tactics were of little use to Merlin.A few minutes later, Merlin found his target in the dining room, the benevolent banker, sitting at the dinner table, enjoying a pleasant breakfast with his wife and the little girl who looked like his granddaughter."
If you're innocent," Merlin picked up his wand, and he looked at the happy family of three, and he whispered, "Then I will definitely apologize." ”The next moment, the three sleeping spells that were connected continuously were thrown on the three people in front of them.()
