"Whitehall is dead?"
Gordon reached out and fumbled for the broken glasses, and said, "Then I have to thank you for Jiaying, no, for all the Inhumans who have been hurt by that madman." ”"And this."
Merlin took out the box containing the obelisk from his pocket and put it in front of Gordon's eyes, and he said with a blank face, "You can take the obelisk that Whitehall has taken." ”Gordon opened the box, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the surface of the obelisk, and the next moment, he stood up abruptly and said to Merlin, "What about the contents inside?"
What about the Terrigan Crystal?
You took it?
”"What?"
Merlin asked with a blank face, "You mean, the crystal isn't in there?"
”"You don't know?"
There was a hint of suspicion in Gordon's tone, Merlin stood up and walked to the table, he looked at the obelisk held in Gordon's hand, and said, "How do I know?"
You only told me how to hold it, but you didn't tell me how to open it. ”Merlin's answer seemed to be shirking responsibility, but Gordon knew that what Merlin said was most likely true.The obelisk is made by the Inhuman ancestors, and it carries a completely different knowledge system from the earth's technology, and only the oldest Inhuman families know how to use the obelisk, and it is impossible to force it with external forces.Despite Merlin's strange abilities, Gordon didn't think he could reveal the obelisk in just a few days.The most important thing is that if it is not opened in the right way, the obelisk will be permanently damaged, and when forcibly cracked by external forces, the Terrigan crystal inside the obelisk will be quickly transformed into mist, and then indiscriminately attack all life around it.Now that the obelisk is still intact and Merlin is still alive, it seems to be enough to prove that this obelisk, which has been emptied, should indeed not have been opened by him."
Are you sure the dangerous Terrigan Crystal isn't in there?"
Merlin frowned and asked, "Could it be that you feel wrong?"
”"It's gone, there's no doubt about it."
Gordon placed the obelisk in the box, shook his head, and said to Merlin, "I have to tell Jiaying about this." ”"Wait, she's having dinner with her family."
Merlin said, "Don't bother them now.This family...
It's not easy. ”Gordon hesitated, then nodded.More than an hour later, Daisy went to a nap in the company of her parents, the gentle Zarvin was taking care of her daughter, and Jiaying put on her mask again and walked into Merlin's bedroom.At a glance, she saw the obelisk that had been placed on the table and the broken black round-rimmed glasses that she would never forget for the rest of her life.She stepped forward, reached out and stroked the broken glasses, Gordon whispered something to her, and Jiaying turned around, bent down, and thanked Merlin sincerely."
Thank you, Mr.
Merlin, for taking away the greatest nightmare of my life.""
Nothing, it's work."
Merlin replied casually, saying, "Let's take a look at your obelisk first, Gordon told me that the obelisk I desperately grabbed was empty." ”"Empty?"
Jiaying's face changed under her mask, she turned around and picked up the obelisk, the place where the object was cold in the hand, but the metal was no longer destructive, which meant that the source of the obelisk's power was gone.Jia Ying turned her back to Merlin, her fingers moving quickly, with a special rhythm, touching the scattered rune circles and lines on the surface of the obelisk, as if she were typing a complex password.A few minutes later, with the sound of some kind of precision machinery opening, the irregular, geometric obelisk slowly opened from above.It's like a metal flower that opens in layers.But inside this thing, it's really empty."
Could it be him?"
Gordon asked in a low voice beside Jiaying."
No, it's not him."
Jia Ying said in a tone mixed with disappointment and regret: "Only the members of the Inhuman family in the ancient inheritance know how to open the obelisk, Mr.
Merlin is not an Inhuman, and even if he knows how to open it, in the process of repeatedly touching the obelisk, he will be assimilated into inorganic matter by the power of the Terrigan Crystal...
The fact that he is still alive proves that he did not open this thing. ”"Maybe it's Whitehall, maybe someone else.""
Whitehall didn't hold the obelisk all the time, either."
Merlin said, "According to our investigation, the obelisk disappeared five years ago, and Whitehall got it three years ago, and maybe when Whitehall got it, it was already empty. ”"No, it should have been opened recently."
Jia Ying put the obelisk back together, and she turned her head to look at Merlin: "The energy that Gordon felt on the East Coast calling for the Inhuman is not fake, did you encounter any strange people when you were chasing Whitehall?"
”"Hmm...
Yes!
”Merlin rubbed his forehead, and he said, "There's a man who can convert his body into different substances at will depending on what he touches, and he's been holding me back from pursuing Whitehall, and that's a tough opponent.Oh, by the way, Whitehall called him Number 13, and that guy seemed irrational, he must have made some kind of test subject. ”"Where is he?"
Jiaying asked."
It took a lot of effort for me to catch him at the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, and Lincoln is testing him to determine if he's an Inhuman and when he's transformed."
Merlin said calmly, "I have a guess, maybe that No. 13 is the Inhuman that Whitehall transformed from Terrigen Crystals?"
”"Possibly."
Gordon nodded: "Logically makes sense. ”"Gordon, you go to Lincoln."
Jia Ying said to Gordon, "Help him determine the situation on the 13th, I'll wait for you here." ”"Hmm."
Gordon was really obedient to Jia Ying, and he disappeared into Merlin's bedroom in a flash of blue arc light.Looking at Gordon's disappearing figure, Merlin said with a playful expression: "He really defends you, and he has a kind of heartfelt admiration for you...
You say, will he...""
Gordon is my adopted son."
Jiaying knew what Merlin was going to say, she sat on the chair, took off her mask, and said to Merlin with a calm face: "He is an abandoned baby that I picked up on my journey to the world before I met Zarvin, he was born with a disability, maybe this is the reason why he was abandoned by his parents, in this world full of pain, there are too many such things." ”"Oh, I almost forgot, you're an immortal too."
Merlin patted his forehead and said, "I'm curious, how long have you lived?"
”"More than 200 years."

Jia Ying replied expressionlessly: "The time when I was born was at the height of the French Revolution, my family has a genetic trait, we are all long-lived, but the heirs are difficult, you guess it is difficult to understand how happy Daisy and my family were when she was born, Daisy, my daughter, she inherited the fine blood of my family inheritance, she is destined to do great things in this life." ”"That depends on the kid's choice."
Merlin flicked his fingers, took out a cigarette, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, he said: "Even parents are not qualified to plan the path of their children's lives, in my opinion, maybe Daisy will be happy all her life as an ordinary person." ”"What did you say to my daughter?""
She just told me that she was going to stay with her father and take care of her father for me, and she asked me to stay with her...
I know Zarvin, and with his character, he won't stop me from taking Daisy, so it's definitely you!
”"I just told the kind child that her father was sick and needed to be taken care of."
Merlin said calmly, "It's Daisy's own choice. ”"It's true that Zarvin's body is weak, he drank those damn potions himself, and turned himself into a madman, and now, he is sober, and seems to have changed back to the elegant man he once made me intoxicated with him overnight, but alas, he will run out of oil in seven years at most."
Jia Ying looked at Merlin and said, "You changed his memory, right?"
Mr.
Merlin, erasing all the painful, dark, and unbearable pasts gives him a chance to start over, but I wonder why you did that?
”"I have some questions, too."
Merlin lit a cigarette, and in the rising smoke, he looked at Jiaying, and he said, "Zarvin pushed an entire village into the abyss to bring you back from the dead, but after that, you seem to have a great change of heart, why is this happening?"
Lincoln told me before that an Inhuman transformation only requires a tiny amount of Terrigan Crystals to complete, but you and Gordon have been collecting obelisks all these years. ”"The number of Terrigen Crystals you have in your hands must be more than is needed to keep the 'afterlife' running, what are you hiding so many dangerous crystals for?"
Merlin spread his hands and said to Jia Ying: "You see, an organization that claims to be peaceful, but has weapons that can cause a massacre at any time, if it is only a verbal guarantee, it is really difficult to reassure us. ”"When you cross the door of death, you have to leave something behind."
Jia Ying lowered her head, and she replied in a low voice: "After Zarvin resurrected me, I lost some of my feelings, which is the disadvantage of longevity, and when you live long enough, feelings will naturally become very indifferent.Many of my ancestors ended up taking their own lives because they lost all their feelings, and my feelings were not as bad as those of my ancestors, but that death, coupled with the news of my daughter's disappearance, intensified the process. ”"Zarvin didn't know this, he was in despair, and then he came to me, and he swore to me that he would find his daughter, but at that time I was recovering, and under the influence of the cold will, I said a lot of things to him that should not be said, very vicious...
I hurt him again. ”"He begged me to transform him into an Inhuman in order to gain the power to find our lost daughter, but he is an ordinary man, and contact with the fog will only kill him.I rejected him, and he found a way to do it himself, and as a result, he went crazy, and even almost hurt some of the children in the 'afterlife', and Gordon was furious, he had always disliked Zarvin, so he threw him out of the afterlife. ”"As for your second question, the answer is actually quite simple."
Jia Ying raised her head, a hint of indifference flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said, "My deepest connection to this world is my daughter, my Daisy, if she is hurt, then why should I continue to be kind to this world that is constantly hurting me and my people?"
”"Mr.
Merlin, someone like Whitehall...
There are a lot of them in this world, do you think they deserve to continue to live?
They wantonly hurt those innocent people, they do evil things and get away with it, they can live in the sunshine with dignity, while my compatriots, those innocent children, can only hide secretly in the mountains. ”"Is this world fair?"
Jiaying said: "Maybe let them experience what it's like to be monsters, and maybe, let the bad guys who call us monsters become monsters themselves, it will be the best punishment for them...
You tell me?
”"But in this world, there are always more good people."
Merlin waved his hand, and he said helplessly: "The world is like this, the rain will fall on everyone, whether they are good or bad.It's useless if you hate them, the world is yours, but it's also theirs, good and bad.Believe me, Ms.
Jiaying, I hate those who do evil deeds more than you do.But you have to admit it, it's part of the world. ”"Without ugly sin, the beauty of justice is unappreciated.""
You want to get revenge on the bad guys who hurt you, but in my experience, once this kind of thing starts, as your revenge engulfs the bad guys, there will be more people involved, and I mean the innocents you want to protect."
He breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Jia Ying sitting in front of him, like a statue, and said, "You are a dangerous person, Ms.
Jia Ying, there is no doubt about this, you can't control the desire for revenge in your heart, you are planning a very dangerous thing, I can't turn a blind eye." ”"Are you going to arrest me?"
Jiaying raised her head, she looked at Merlin, and she said, "What did you do to me after bringing back and taking my daughter back?"
”"Nope."
Merlin shook his head, he walked towards Jiaying, he bent down, made eye contact with Jiaying, and said seriously, "I advise you to give up those...
Your intentions, your revenge, your painful memories, everything, let it go, ma'am. ”"You can live in New York as a normal person with your daughter and your husband, and you can spend enough time to make up for your love for your daughter and guilt for your husband.I can assure you that no one will bother you. ”"Gordon is a good leader, and I think it will be reassuring for you to have him lead the afterlife.""
I...
Can't do it. ”Jia Ying closed her eyes, and she said bitterly: "Those memories, those pasts, those hurts...
I can't, Mr.
Merlin, I'm not as generous as Zarvin, I'm just a woman, a hurted, careful-eyed woman. ”"So I'll help you."
Merlin drew his wand, and he said to Jia Ying: "Write a letter to Gordon, as a mother and adopted son parting, let go of the past that overwhelmed you, and like your husband, accompany your daughter and start a new life."
Even if it's for Daisy's sake, you should know what kind of life is best for her. ”"I mean, please think about it...
In your heart, is revenge important?
Or is it important to have a daughter?
”Jia Ying looked at the wand in Merlin's hand, and after a few minutes, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she said, "Then...""
Excuse me, Mr.
Merlin
