Five minutes after Merlin received the message, he was in Tucker's "secret stronghold", which was actually a cleaned sewer beneath Hell's Kitchen.As a landlord in a not-so-"legitimate" business, Tucker had many strongholds of concealing goods, and after learning from Ida that someone was chasing her, Tucker took the child to his most hidden hideout.When Merlin arrived, Ada was sitting cross-legged on Tucker's bed eating, looking at her gobbling up and her dirty, emaciated face, and it should not be so easy for this child to live alone for a while."
Well done, Tucker."
Merlin took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to the black guy in front of him, which was the promised reward before."
You've really done me a great favor.""
It's nothing, help each other."
Tucker laughed as he took the money, he glanced at the girl behind him, and said to Merlin, "Then I won't disturb your communication with this child, I'll go up first and give you a lookout." ”"No, you go straight home."
Merlin advised: "This child's background is not so simple, you as an ordinary person should not get involved, forget about this matter completely...
Forget it, come on, Tucker, look here, I'll show you something good. ”Under Merlin's guidance, Tucker subconsciously raised his head, only to see a burst of white light from the red 'wooden stick' in Merlin's hand, and then he seemed to have been hit on the head with a heavy hammer, and all his thoughts fell into extreme stagnation.Using an Oblivion Charm to wash away all of Tucker's memories of Ada, Merlin put away his wand and said to the sluggish black guy in front of him, "Rest well tonight, don't mess around with your 'girlfriends', and, don't forget about donating to church this month." ”"Let's go back," Merlin threw a Spiritual Guided Mark of Axy at Tucker, causing him to climb to the ground like a monkey in a daze, and soon disappeared into the night.After Tucker left, Merlin straightened his clothes and walked into the small house that had been carved out of the sewers.The chandelier above the house glowed beige and illuminated the hidden things in the hiding place, the boxes were filled with bullets, there were several new guns in the corner, there was plenty of food and water on the other side, and a television set hung on the wall.Apparently, this is a makeshift shelter that Tucker has made for himself.It looks quite cozy."
He's quite crisis-conscious."
Merlin pouted, he knew Tucker wasn't a good guy, but the guy was pretty good when he had to.He turned his head to look at Ada, who was sitting on the bed, the girl had washed her face, she was no longer dirty, she had a distinctly half-blooded character, short black hair and large brown eyes, she was holding a rifle about her height in both hands, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Merlin with some difficulty.The kid was very perceptive, and she should have spotted Merlin talking to Tucker just now.So she took the local material and tried to protect herself with the weapon Tucker left behind.However, when she saw Merlin's face illuminated in the light, Ada's eyes widened, and she lowered the heavy gun in her hand."
Mr.
Merlin?"
Ada, or Daisy, she knew Merlin.At St.
Agnes' orphanage, she could see Merlin with food to see the children almost every week.And she had a good relationship with Eric, who always took Ada, who was still young at the time, to play with him when he was in the orphanage."
Why are you here?"
Seeing a trusted acquaintance, Ida was relieved, she picked up the biscuit at hand, and while eating, she asked, "Did you ask Tucker to save me?"
”"Well, yes."
Merlin crouched down and looked at the little girl sitting cross-legged on the bed in front of him, he looked at Ida's emaciated face with some scars, and he asked, "I went to Long Island to see, what has happened in the past few months?"
”Merlin's expression turned sad at the mention of Long Island, and there was still a trace of fear in the child's eyes.She stammered to Merlin, "It's a monster!"
”"The monster killed my grandparents, I ran out of the chaos, they chased me, and then another guy saved me, but he kept following me, and I was scared, so I ran back to Hell's Kitchen and stole ...
I mean, I live alone. ”"Why don't you go back to the orphanage?"
Merlin asked, "Don't you believe Father Paul and the nuns?"
”"I would have liked to go back."
Ida waved her hand, and she called, "But I can't go back."
That guy kept chasing me, he hurt a lot of people, he, he's like a madman!
”"That guy, what does he look like?"
Merlin reached out and stroked Ada's hair to calm the somewhat restless child, and he asked softly, "Why is he following you?"
”"He's wearing very old clothes."
Ida blinked and said to Merlin, "His hair is messy, he always carries a suitcase, it's so dark that I can't see his face clearly, but I remember when he spoke, he stuttered a little, oh yes, his eyes are yellow, it's weird anyway."
After he killed the monster, he shouted at me that New York was not safe, that some bad people would hurt me, that he was my dad's friend and that he was going to take me to meet my dad. ”With that, Daisy looked up and looked at Merlin with a blank eye.She was a child, and in such a situation, it was natural to rely on the adults around her, and she asked, "Mr.
Merlin, is what he said true?"
Is my dad really looking for me?
Then why did they throw me in the orphanage in the first place?
”"It's a complicated question, Ada, uh, I mean, Daisy."
Merlin said to the girl in front of her, "Daisy is your real name, I know it from your mother, I have met her, she asked me to find you and bring you back to her." ”"My mother?"
Daisy looked at Merlin with some blankness, she had grown up in the St.
Agnes Orphanage, and the words "mom and dad" were a little unfamiliar to this child.She looked at Merlin as if confirmed, and asked, "My real mother?"
”"Yes."
Merlin took out the black-and-white photo that Jiaying had given him from his pocket and handed it to Daisy, "This is her." ”Daisy took the picture in her hand, she looked at the oriental woman in the long dress in the black and white photo, and after a moment, she looked up and said to Merlin, "She's so beautiful." ”"Yes, it's a pity that she's not pretty now, you probably cry when you see her face."
Merlin sighed, he stood up and held out his hand to Daisy, "Let's go, come home with me first, and I'll arrange for you to meet your mother."
She may take you out of the country, but if you don't want to go, I can find a way to keep you going, at least in this matter, you have the right to decide. ”The little girl grabbed the picture in her hand, she jumped out of bed, took Merlin's hand, and followed him out of Tucker's hideout.Although there is a "revelation" of the Dark Divine Book, Merlin really can't associate the image of the "World Destroyer" with the little monkey-like girl next to him.She is the daughter of Inhuman Jiaying, and it is likely that there is a long-standing Inhuman family behind Jiaying, that is to say, Daisy was born with extremely good Inhuman genes, if the prophecy about her destruction is true, it means that Daisy will inevitably have extremely terrifying destructive power after transforming into Inhuman.From Merlin's career point of view, he prefers that this child will spend his life as an ordinary person, and the transformation of the Inhuman is controllable, especially for an Inhuman of good blood like Daisy, she can completely not accept the transformation.From this point of view, it may not be a good thing to let Jiaying take her away.As the leader of the 'afterlife', Jia Ying will definitely transform her own daughter, and this will make Daisy a destabilizing factor.Although Ms.
Carter did not know Daisy's background at the time, it was because of the kindness of her heart and the desire to stop Hydra that she placed Daisy in the St.
Agnes Orphanage, and used the resources at hand to cover up her existence.But there is no doubt that Ms.
Carter is doing the right thing."
You can sleep in a random house on the second floor tonight."

Merlin took Daisy home, and he said to the little girl, "I remember that there must be some clothes left by Eric here, and they are in his cupboard, you go and choose them, and then go and freshen up, and if you are hungry I will take you out to eat." ”"I ate at Tucker's, I'm not hungry."
Daisy stood beside Merlin, and the months of living alone gave this girl a very capable image, and she looked up with a hint of anticipation in her eyes."
When are you going to take me to my mother?"
Mr.
Merlin. ”Merlin hesitated for a moment, and he said, "I'll arrange it as soon as possible, you go to sleep first, and tomorrow morning, I'm going to talk to you about something more important about you." ”"Hmm."
Daisy nodded, grabbed her mother's picture, hummed a quirky song, and walked up to the second floor, where a moment later she ran down with a slightly wide pajamas, ready to take a shower and rest.This kid who dares to steal alone on the territory of the fierce Russian gangsters is really not afraid of life at all.Merlin sat on the couch, thinking about Daisy and trying to find a better solution.A few minutes later, Merlin suddenly looked up.Victor, a raven flying in the sky near the neighborhood, shared a picture with him, of a man with a suitcase walking towards Merlin's house in the dim evening light.As Daisy said, the man was wearing an old-fashioned suit that didn't look like it fit well, and it was a bit wide, and the man's hair was messy, like a down-and-out unemployed man.He seemed a little nervous, and as he walked, he looked around warily.In Victor's vision, Merlin could clearly see that this man did indeed have a pair of yellow eyes.Moreover, he exudes a...
Not too good to describe the taste.It's like some kind of beastly breath, irritable and restless, full of aggression, but that aggression is well hidden under the dejected exterior.At least for ordinary people, at first glance, this down-and-out man doesn't pose much of a threat."
Little Daisy, I'm going out to buy something."
Merlin shouted in the direction of the bathroom, "You go to bed obediently, I'll be back soon." ”"Oh."
Daisy answered.Merlin took a pair of black gloves from his pocket, put them on his hands, opened the door, and walked out of his room.I happened to meet the man walking down the street.Merlin stood in front of his house with his left hand in his pocket, and he looked at the down-and-out man in front of him, who always had a flattering smile, and said, "This is private land, sir, and I don't welcome strangers very much." ”"I'm not a stranger."
The man put down the suitcase in his hand, with that strange smile on his face, rubbed his hands a little rustically, and said to Merlin in a hurried tone, "I'm just going to take that girl, it's not safe for her to stay in this city."
I don't want to hurt anyone, actually, I'm a doctor and I've saved a lot of people. ”"Doctor?"
Merlin looked suspiciously at the man in front of him who seemed to have come out of the picture of the previous era, the latter sensed Merlin's suspicion, he smiled, squatted down, opened his suitcase, he pointed to the neatly arranged various medicine bottles and syringes, all kinds of medical equipment, as if to prove his identity."
I'm really a doctor, my name is Zarvin.
Johnson, I still have my own practice in Brooklyn, I also have a medical license, I'm willing to help other people, I'm just...
I'm just—" The man spoke, his tone stammering, as if he wanted to say something to convince Merlin of him, but there seemed to be some kind of force preventing him from pleading in such a low voice.After a moment, he looked up, and there was already a fierce glint in his strange yellow eyes."
I just want to take my most important treasure, you...
Get out of the way!
”"Split personality?"
Merlin also has a wealth of medical knowledge, and the expression of the man in front of him at this time, and the slightly hideous face, represent that his spirit is in a very unstable state, much like a split personality.A fierce and irascible personality was emerging from his consciousness to replace the down-and-out and gentle personality that had been before."
I can't give Daisy to you."
Merlin stretched out his right hand, and the beating black mist formed a sharp dagger in his hand, and he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was getting more and more irritable, and said, "No matter what you came for, your situation is obviously not suitable for taking care of a child. ”"That's not up to you!
You don't have the power to take her away!
”The irascible Dr.
Zarvin was like a real beast, gasping for breath as he grabbed the syringe in his suitcase and was about to plunge the needle into his arm.Merlin waved his hand, and the whizzing shadow knife shattered the needle in Zarvin's hand with precision, and the strange drug with the pungent smell was spilled everywhere in the sound of plastic shattering."
Mr.
Merlin, what's going on outside?"
At this time, little Daisy's voice sounded in the room, and when she heard this voice, the grumpy doctor Zarvin, who was already ready to attack, suddenly stopped in place, he seemed to be a little frightened, as if he didn't want Daisy to see him now.He glared at Merlin fiercely, grabbed the suitcase in his hand, turned and ran out.It's so fast...
That's definitely not the speed that a normal person should have."
What's wrong?
Mr.
Merlin, I hear shouting outside. ”Daisy, who was wearing wide pajamas, pushed open the door, she stuck her head out, looked at Merlin who was squatting on the ground, checking something, she asked with some concern, "Is something going on?"
”"No, nothing."
Merlin used a test tube to absorb some of the strange medicine left on the ground, he turned to Daisy and smiled, and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have a job, so I'll find a sister to take care of you." ”"You have to be obedient and have a good night's rest, you know?"
