Secrets are a very abominable thing.Merlin, who was rummaging in the basement for clues, once again understood this truth deeply.When he and Ms.
Carter first met, Ms.
Carter was just a kind old lady in his eyes.Then he entered S.H.I.E.L.D., and Ms.
Carter's image became a powerful secret agent master, and then Ms.
Carter and Old Steve "eloped", and Ms.
Carter's image became an old witch with secrets.You see, there is such a thing as a secret that can always make people look hideous.Of course, complaining is complaining, and what should be done still has to be done.In the basement beneath the house where Ms.
Carter had lived for several years, Merlin found a number of chronological documents that contained summaries of most of the major events that had taken place in the world from the aftermath of World War II to the nineties of the twentieth century.Merlin found a lot of interesting things in it.For example, the leader of the mutants, Magneto Eric, who can manipulate magnetism.
Lanchee was hated and hunted down by government agencies not only because of his dangerous ideas, but also because Magneto had been involved in the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy.For example, in the 70s, Ms.
Carter had contact with the underseamen, and she also helped a fugitive princess of Atlantis, who is said to have fallen in love with a mortal, was hunted down by the underseamen, and then faked her death with the help of Ms.
Carter.Wait, how does this story resemble the story of Little Arthur's parents in Maine?
Could it be that the princess of the seaman likes landers and elopement, is it already a tradition of the Atlantean royal family?
For another example, the North American government is so disgusted with Magneto, but it has never exterminated the mutant brotherhood behind him, not simply because the mutant brotherhood is powerful, but because earlier, Magneto and Professor X teamed up to prevent the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was only a little bit off.In other words, the leader of the mutants saved a human civilization that was almost in a war of destruction.Seeing the records of these secret events with your own eyes is like walking in the real historical corridor, and the feeling of ingesting the secrets dispelled a trace of doubt in Merlin's heart.But he hasn't forgotten what he's here for.He put all the documents in his pocket, and while recovering the other materials, he continued to search in the basement, and in this dark basement, he said to himself: "Maybe when you have nothing to do, you can use these secret files as a city tabloid to relieve your boredom." ”A moment later, Merlin had a catch, and he pulled some of Ms.
Carter's journals out of a box.Well, as an agent, the habit of keeping a diary is really bad.Merlin still remembers that Tony.
Stark travels around the world in search of his tracks, and finally finds clues from Ms.
Carter's calendar.But how to say it?
Considering Ms.
Carter's advanced age and memory loss, it makes sense to keep a diary of important things so that she doesn't forget them.Not everyone wants to take the secret to the grave.What's more, from Merlin's point of view, Ms.
Carter's diary doesn't seem to be so simple, she seems to be deliberately leaving clues, maybe she foresaw something not so good.Merlin leaned into the darkness as he flipped through the diary in his hand."1989.8.14:"" Mishuel.
Carson is a problematic person, who presided over an unauthorized operation a few months ago in an attempt to steal Pym's treasured Pym particles, which was discovered, leading directly to the conflict between Pym and Howard.I now feel more and more that this may have been a well-conceived conspiracy to split the two brains of the Strategic Science Corps. ”"I'm really getting sluggish, the effect of the SSS serum is undoubtedly decreasing, I should have discovered this fact earlier, but it's too late now.Pym listens to no explanation, and Janet's tragedy overwhelms his mind, making him more cynical and more extreme.Perhaps, Pierce's suggestion was correct, and it was a good thing to let Pym go. ”"But Mishoel, who left a month ago, is now the legal manager of a technology company...
Maybe he's corrupted by money, it's a pity. ”This diary entry seems to be about Pym.
Hank's break with the Strategic Science Corps, Merlin knows what happened.But in Ms.
Carter's diary, there was a Merlin's unheard of SSS serum drug, which made him a little puzzled and a little curious.He flipped back, and in a journal entry in the back, he found information related to the SSS serum."
August 29, 1989:""The SSS serum still has a problem.
When Professor Sternberg first created the serum, he warned us that this unstable serum could fail at any time.But now it seems that the follow-up research plan for the SSS potion must be cancelled, Dr.
Sternberg has been missing for several years, and no one has been able to complete the incomplete, or even incomprehensible formula he left behind. ”"The smartest person I know, my good friend Howard told me to rest, he would find a way to treat me, but in Howard's eyes, I saw a touch of sadness, and I knew that my time was running out.""
Steve came to see me at midnight, I didn't want him to see me suddenly aging like I was about to die, but Steve didn't care about that, I could feel the affection and love in his eyes, and it made me feel happy.""
I thought I would die alone with a longing for him, but the merciful God brought him back to me.At my bedside, my Steve said to me that he would definitely save me. ”Steve's resolute expression made me a little worried, I couldn't guess what method he was going to use to save me, but perhaps, he would take a risk for it, but he was old and no longer the warrior of his youth...
I don't want him to be hurt by that. ”"I voiced my concerns, but Steve told me that Howard would go with him?
Could it be that Howard already knows the secret of Steve's existence?
Or was Steve destined to tell him?
Why did he do it?
”The few questions left at the end of the diary made Merlin stop reading.If Howard.
Stark knew about the existence of old Steve before he was alive, so why didn't Steve come forward to save his friend when Howard was in crisis?
The former Captain America should not sit idly by and watch his friends be in danger.Or...
It's all Howard.
Stark planned?
He orchestrated his death?"
No, it's not!"
Merlin shook his head, and he analyzed: "If you look at it from this point of view, a more reasonable explanation would be, Howard.
Stark, in fact, is not dead at all?
The scene I saw with my own eyes was just a scene where I had a premonition of a crisis and faked my death to get out?
”"That's interesting."
Unfortunately, this question is destined to go unanswered now.Whether it's Steve Sr., or Howard.
Stark is a very thoughtful person, and if they really keep some kind of secret between them, then it will be difficult for me to deduce the truth of the matter unless I actually find them. ”Merlin regretfully put the idea aside.He continued to flip through the journal and look further back.February 12, 1991: "He's back!
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
”"Returning in the middle of the night like a ghost, Steve, who has been over a year old, looks like a dusty man, he is older than I remember, like a real old man, not a superhero.""
Steve told me that he had found a way to save me.But I need to go with him to the ancient country of the East, and it is said that in a certain mountain, a secret that has been passed down for thousands of miles is recorded. ”"It is said that the original origin of the SSS serum is there, and if we can find the knowledge of that origin, maybe we can make the real SSS serum instead of the current dangerous cripple.""
But that doesn't make me feel at ease!""
As someone who deals with secrets, I know that there is a price to be paid for exploring any secret.Steve must have been hiding some important information from me, such as, how did he know the origin of the SSS serum?
Who shared this secret with him?
”"I know that if I confronted Steve directly, he wouldn't tell me that he was sometimes simple and stubborn like a child.""
We'll be leaving in a week, and hopefully I'll find Steve's hidden message on this trip, and I don't want my lover to risk it for me again.""
If it takes Steve to live at a terrible cost, then...
I'd rather die. ”"Let's hope everything goes well.""
They should have found Daisy on this trip, this SSS serum, is it related to Inhuman?"
Merlin suppressed his speculation as he continued to flip the journal backwards, and after skimming over a few of Ms.
Carter's and Steve's travels, several pages of the diary were torn out, which made Merlin frown.The torn pages should be the specific process of their exploration in the ancient country of the East, but it seems that there are some secrets that Merlin cannot know.On the next page, Merlin reads Ms.
Carter's summary of the exploration.March 7, 1991: "After a long journey, we returned to New York...
The trip was too tiring and dangerous. ”"Hydra, the organization I thought was long gone, has reappeared.Despite the loss of their leader, the Red Skull, their power does not appear to have been completely wiped out, but has survived the decades, just like the Strategic Science Corps. ”"It's really bad news.""
Steve and I are both aware of the seriousness of the problem, if the will of Hydra has always existed, then it means that in the 'Paperclip' operation that I presided over back then, there must have been a well-disguised Hydra element absorbed into the Strategic Science Corps.""
Before we knew it, the seeds of darkness had been planted in the thriving trees, and it was growing by absorbing the nutrients of the trees, and it would eventually defeat us from within.""
If it weren't for this unexpected trip, the vipers hiding in the dark would eventually replace us, live freely under the sun, and use economy and power to wantonly transform the world in the new century.""
It's not good, it's not good.""
Steve rushed to the base where the Paperclip operation materials were kept, but I thought it was too late to make up for the mistakes of the year.""
Maybe at this moment, it would be the best option to let the Strategic Science Corps dismantle, but this matter has to be slow, and we have to find the perfect opportunity to let this organization that I have served all my life be completely incinerated by a fire that I have lit with my own hands.""
After Steve's departure, I was left alone by little Daisy, who we had brought back to New York, at the door of the St.
Agnes Orphanage, a poor child.I don't know exactly why the Hydra who burned down the manor in the mountains wanted to capture the child, but if it's something Hydra needs, then I'd better not let them get it. ”"I will create a false identity for this child, I will do everything in my power to protect her, her background must be kept secret, and the good nuns and priests of St.
Agnes' orphanage will raise her as a man.""
In March 1991, at the St.
Agnes orphanage, the baby who was left at the door at night was a girl."
Merlin narrowed his eyes, there were not many children who met these three conditions, and the appearance of a child who had crossed paths with him and who he had seen with his own eyes also appeared in front of him."
It's Ada.""
That doom-ridden little Ada!""
Jiaying's daughter, an alien who could destroy the world in the future...
You've always been by my side?
”At this moment, Merlin did not feel the impermanence of fate, on the contrary, he felt an indescribable horror.The feeling that had appeared several times in the past came back to him again."
It was arranged...
All of this was arranged. ”Merlin closed his eyes and said, "Interlocking, how many secrets are you buried by my side?"
”"And most importantly, what exactly do you want me to do?"
His fingers subconsciously flicked the diary in his hand, bringing it to the last page, this time with a large time span, and another thing that surprised Merlin.January 6, 1995: "I failed...""
I underestimated the hidden power of Hydra, and I also underestimated Fury's obsession with maintaining order, even though he had been informed in advance of the news that the Strategic Science Corps was going to be dismantled, he was still unwilling to accept this result, and foiled all my secret arrangements.""
But I don't blame him, for the sake of secrecy, I didn't tell Fury about the Hydra's reappearance.Maybe I made a mistake, but if you think about it, it might be better to let Fury stay surrounded by enemies and keep getting Hydra's attention. ”"At all times, agents need to have hole cards, Fury is in the light, I am in the dark, after experiencing this incident, those Hydras must be celebrating each other, and Fury's newly built S.H.I.E.L.D. will inevitably become Hydra's next hideout.""
It's a good thing, it's too hard to pull them out of the darkness one by one, and if they come together, they might be able to catch all the hydras with a single precise capture!
It's like dropping a bait and waiting for the greedy fish to gather. ”And Fury, who is stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, may be able to surprise me.This agent, who I have personally recruited, does have character flaws, but if he is sharp enough and gathers enough information, he may be able to stop the situation from deteriorating in advance. ”"To be honest, being defeated by the 'students' I taught by myself is not something that makes people feel happy, but at this point, there is nothing I can do.""
I'm going to 'disappear.'""
Only by jumping out of the quagmire can we have a better overview of the overall situation.But before I leave, I should choose a helper for Fury...""
Old Steve suggested to me that maybe Merlin, who I had personally recruited and was burdened with an unknown fate.
Riley is a good candidate. ”()
