"Well, you convinced me."
In Mick's Inn, Vivien didn't hesitate for long in the face of Merlin's persuasion.She looked at Merlin and replied, "I'll discuss this with my mentor, and if we come to an agreement, then my mentor and I will take some time out to help you study the ingredients of this potion and find ways to improve it." ”"But there's a catch, Merlin."
Vivien picked up the juice, she took a sip, and said to Merlin, "The Imperial Organization is now under the direct control of the World Security Council, and every research we conduct must be filed with S.H.I.E.L.D.I mean, if we decide to do this, then we're definitely going to have to write a report and tell Director Fury...
Only then will we be supported by funding and authority. ”"No, don't tell him just yet."
Merlin stopped: "He has enough things to do, don't let him worry about these little things." ”"Huh?"
Vivien was a very intelligent woman, and she almost immediately sensed the hidden meaning behind Merlin's refusal.She pushed her glasses and said to Merlin, "No, it's the rules of the process, we have to do it." ”"Well, okay, you can write a project application."
Merlin thought for more than ten seconds, nodded to Vivian, and said, "But this matter is an internal matter of S.D.O.L.D., so when you submit your application, you can submit it directly to my office, not Fury's side."
As a direct subordinate department of S.H.I.E.L.D., I have the authority to approve research projects below Class A, and I can also support you with some funds, as well as all the research materials, I will provide. ”"Below grade A?"
Vivien looked at Merlin with a strange expression: "A restarted super soldier plan, you actually said that it was an event below the A level?"
That's not right, Mr.
Merlin, this should be at least an S-class research project. ”"Seriously, it's getting worse and worse for me, Merlin."
Vivien said with some concern, "I've got to, you're making us do something dangerous. ”"You have to understand, Vivien, it's for your safety."
Merlin looked around, his fingers moving slightly, and a soundproofing charm was applied around him and Vivien.He lowered his voice and said to Vivien, "You should remember the tragedy of Richard and Mary, right?"
”"Hmm."
Vivien nodded, she had a good relationship with Richard and Mary, and had attended the funeral of the Richards on behalf of the Imperial Organization with whom they had worked together."
The accident was claimed to be a plane crash, but in fact it was not that simple."
Merlin stroked the glass and said in a low tone, "As far as I know, the last research project that Mary and Richard conducted before their deaths was related to human strengthening.Fury personally protected them, but he still failed, and some...
There are people who are not so safe and have been eyeing this field.Here's why I don't let you do your research with much fanfare. ”He looked at Vivien, and he said, "Just make it a B-level research project, and the research location should be in a place that only you know, I think Skull Island is very good, believe me, it's for you and Dr.
Kotozawa's good." ”Looking at Merlin's solemn expression, Vivien subconsciously clenched her fists, and after a while, she nodded and said to Merlin, "I will communicate with the tutor, and if there is any news, I will inform you." ”"Hmm."
Merlin looked at the time of his watch, and he said to Vivien, "It's almost ten o'clock, I'll send you back to where you live, and besides, I'll send a subordinate to protect you."
But it will not interfere with any of your actions, and it will only appear in times of danger and take you out of danger. ”"It?"
Vivien stood up and asked curiously, "Your subordinates, aren't they humans?"
”"Yes, a goblin."
Merlin said casually, "Don't try to study it, Miss Vivien, it's very timid, and you can't see it. ”"Okay."
Miss Vivien lifted her handbag and said to Merlin, "You are really a 'man of talent'. ”"Ha, that's a bad one."
Merlin went to the counter to pay the bill, then left the restaurant with Vivien and dropped her off in an apartment.He stood at the door of the high-end apartment and said to Vivian: "You have a good place to live in this scientific research conference, it seems that the person holding the meeting must be a wealthy group." ”"Well, it's an environmental seminar held by Osborne Industries."
Vivien nodded, and she spit out, "Norman.
Mr.
Osborne has always been enthusiastic about public affairs, and he is also a very talented scientist, and most importantly, he is very famous and wealthy, so at every seminar, some women in the name of scientists are mixed in.But this time, Osborne Industries' verification measures have done a good job, and at least some real researchers have come from. ”"Oh, yes."
Vivien seemed to remember something, and she said to Merlin: "I heard from a sister who works in the Osborne Biological Research Laboratory yesterday that in April of this year, Osborne Enterprises also seemed to have proposed a conceptual research project on the 'Human Enhancement' project, which is said to have been drafted by Mr.
Norman himself. ”"It's nothing, Vivien."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief as he said to Vivien, "Do you know how many biolabs are working on this project in the whole world?
The concept of human enhancement has maintained a high level of popularity since its inception, and I would find it strange if a technology company like Osborne Enterprise was not involved in this field...
But then again, so many people have been working together, but until now, they have not come up with a real finished product, which also shows the difficulty of this subject. ”"人は未開発の宝である。
(The human body is an untapped treasure)" Vivien suddenly said something in Japanese, Merlin didn't understand, he looked at Vivian, who said it again in English, and this time Merlin understood."
This is a phrase that the mentor occasionally says, it was his father who told him, and I heard that the mentor's father was forced to join the wartime research institute in Dongying during World War II, and they seemed to be imitating North America at that time to make their own super soldiers.""
There are rumors like this in every country."
Merlin shook his head, and he said, "But so far, the Super Soldier program has only succeeded once in the true sense of the word...
Well, if you count the Winter Soldier of the USSR, then it should be 2 times. ”"The Winter Soldier?"
Vivien blinked, and she said, "What's that?"
Sounds pretty imposing. ”"That's not something you should know, miss."
Merlin smiled, and he said to Vivien, "Go back and rest, I won't bother you, if there is news, we will call you." ”After watching Vivien enter the apartment, Merlin pulled out the phone and dialed an extremely long number, and after waiting for a few seconds, the voice of the Cybertron flying over the mountain rang out: "Merlin, is there something wrong?"
”"Is Bumblebee by your side?
Flying over the mountain, I have something to ask it for help. ”Merlin asked."
It's not here, it's carrying Charlie to Eric."

Fei Guo said, "If you have any problems, I can tell you about them." ”"I need Bumblebee to help me tamper with a pilot project application at some point in the future."
Merlin walked to the taxi that was parked on the side of the road and was waiting for him, and said to Fei Guoshan, "I'll contact you again when the specific time comes, I need Bumblebee to hack into the S.H.I.E.L.D. database and block this project application." ”"If that data isn't stored in your physically encrypted database, I can do it."
Fei Guo replied, "You can contact me then." ”"Well, yes, then I won't bother you."
Merlin hung up the phone, got into the taxi, and said to Dupende, who was on a hot dog, "Go to my house...
And, why do you keep eating this junk food?
You make a lot of money every month, right?
”"I'm going to support my family, Merlin."
While playing the steering wheel with one hand, Du Pengde replied: "And recently my cousin is coming to the United States to make a living, and I have to prepare an apartment for her, I heard that she is very beautiful." ”"Oh, the single dog Sichun."
Merlin laughed and said, "Understandable, understandable. ”Du Pengde glanced at the rearview mirror, and he snorted dissatisfiedly: "What a laugh!"
Aren't you a single dog too?
”"Uh..."
Du Pengde's rebuttal made Merlin speechless for a while, he thought for a while, and said to Du Pengde: "Forget it, don't go to my house."
Go to the House of Blood, you know that place, right?
”"Well, my dad went there to buy a talisman, and it was said to work quite well."
Du Pengde stuffed the last mouthful of hot dog into his mouth and said vaguely: "Miss Bloodstone is actually quite beautiful, but she loves money too much." ”Merlin chatted with Elsa, who had just returned to New York, in the Blood House, asking her some questions about the witcher's legacy, and then returned to his home, and after a while, Merlin's life seemed to be back on track, and the vampires who had been beaten up were settled, and the outliers in the rest of New York became a lot more settled.This made the agents of S.D.O.L.D., who had been nervous for some time, relaxed.As the time approached the New Year, several of Merlin's secret service directors also began to take turns on vacation, because the vampire war had just ended, and because of the S.D.O.L.D.'
s victory, Fury was also much more generous when approving leave funds for this department.Sharon went to the Maldives alone, Coulson took her parents to Tahiti, and Melinda and her fiancé went to Europe.In short, in this month, almost all the big and small things are handled by Merlin, which makes him start to get tired of office life again.Almost three months later, in the spring of 2001, on a gloomy night, Merlin got off work early and used the Transfiguration Charm to go to a hidden valley in Mount Todd on Staten Island.He stood alone under the gloomy sky, he looked out at the clouds overhead, and he seemed to be waiting for something.Tonight, if he's lucky, he'll be able to complete the Animagus Transfiguration Spell he's been preparing for a long time."
Victor, take a look around."
Merlin said to the Raven Spirit standing on his arm, "Don't let anything disturb me. ”"Woohoo!"
Victor let out an ugly scream, flapped his wings and rushed into the sky, Merlin looked down at his phone, today's weather forecast said that there should be thundershowers in the New York area tonight.This is the weather that Merlin has been waiting for.Speaking of which, the process of making the Animagus Transfiguration Potion is really weird, so weird that even an amateur alchemist like Merlin feels psychedelic.Compared to the refining of ordinary potions, the process of making this transformation spell potion is more like a mystical ritual.The first step was to put a single leaf of a mandrake in his mouth, and for a whole month, that step was not difficult for Merlin.Then on a full moon, the leaves are removed and placed in a crystal bottle filled with saliva and let it absorb the moonlight, which is not a difficult step, except for some nausea.Merlin strictly followed the potion-making process, and a moment before dawn came, he pulled out a hair and poured into it some dew that he had collected that had not been exposed to sunlight for seven days, and then added a chrysalis of the purest form of grimace moths that he had bought at great expense from Diagon Alley.After doing all this, Merlin buried the rather disgusting mixture into the shady valley of Mount Todd at the same time that the first rays of dawn fell.It's quiet enough and won't get in direct sunlight.Now for the final step.He had to wait for a natural weather with thunder and lightning, and then take out the potion that had been buried for more than three months.And for three months, every day at sunset, Merlin would place his wand on his heart and chant a strange incantation.It can be said that this is really full of mystery.Strange to say, in the first month, Merlin didn't feel anything abnormal, but from the second month onwards, every time he recited the spell, he could feel that when his heart was beating, it would feel like a second heartbeat, which was a very strange feeling.It's like a second heart is jumping.Merlin's luck was not bad this time, he only waited 3 months before a thunderstorm came.He had heard that some wizards with bad luck had to wait years to make Animagus potions before they encountered the natural occurrence of thunder and lightning.Ten minutes later, with the wind howling, the first dazzling thunderbolt streaked across the gloomy night sky, like a signal.Merlin's finger hooked upward, and the stones and dirt in front of him quickly deflected off the ground in the deflection of gravity, revealing the small pit where Merlin had buried the potion.And in that little pit, the crystal bottle was lying quietly.But in that crystal bottle, the disgusting mixture had turned into a mouthful of blood-red liquid that shimmered with a strange light.That's what Merlin needs.He picked up the crystal bottle, and in the growing thunder, he looked at the blood-red potion."
Drink, drink, this is my fate...", he whispered, and the next moment, the potion that glowed with blood was drunk.()
