In Merlin's room, Colossus finished his request, but Merlin did not immediately reply.On the one hand, he has a lot of troubles now, on the other hand, he is not very familiar with mutants, and listening to the description of Coulix, the creature that took away his sister, which is suspected of being a demon, is probably not a character that can be dismissed casually.In this case, Merlin does not intend to step into this troubled water right now."
Please help me, Mr.
Merlin."
Colossus pleaded sincerely: "I won't let you help in vain, although I don't have much money, but I am barely a warrior, if you can help me find it and help me rescue my sister, I will definitely repay you." ”"No, don't talk about repaying it yet, Piot."
Merlin waved his hand, he didn't agree, he didn't refuse, he said, "The biggest problem now is that you don't know where your sister was taken, and you don't know the specific information about that demon or devil, which is very difficult.Even if I'm willing to help you, in the absence of my real name, it's hard for me to pinpoint the specific...""
You just said that your sister was taken away by a demon wearing a red and earthy yellow robe?"
Before Merlin could finish his words, a cold voice sounded behind the two people.Raven, who was holding clean plates and cutlery, stood behind them at some point, and the girl looked at Colossus, and she asked in a calm tone: "That guy's voice, is it always grunting, like a whisper that can't be heard clearly?"
And, are there two pale red horns on either side of its forehead, and his skin is also pale red like blood, and there should be luxurious gold bracelets on its wrists, and there are two?
”"That's right!
Right!
And that's what it is!
”Colossus stood up with some excitement, he looked down at Raven, who was only up to his waist, he squatted down and said to the little girl in front of him with an indifferent face, "How do you know what that demon looks like?"
Have you seen it before?
”"You're probably talking about Velasco."
Raven didn't answer Coloss's question, she handed the plate and cutlery in her hand to Colossus, and she said, "Help me wash the plate and I'll tell you more about it." ”"Hmm."
Without hesitation, Colossus stood up, took the plate and walked to the kitchen sink, and began to wash the dishes seriously.Merlin looked at his pale sister, and he frowned and said, "Raven, do you know anything about the demons of hell?"
”"Hmph."
Raven ignored him, sat on the sofa by herself, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and watched the cartoon."
We should talk."
Merlin said to Raven in a gentle voice: "You live here now, and according to the speed of your body's recovery, you are estimated to live here for a long time."
We can't be so confrontational and not talking all the time.I know you don't have a crush on me, and that your loss of power does have something to do with me, but I think we might be able to solve this in other ways. ”"You're a mature kid too, what do you say?""
Three conditions!"
Raven stretched out three fingers, she looked at Merlin expressionlessly, and she said, "You promise me, I will get along with you." ”"You speak first."
Merlin changed his posture and leaned back on the couch, he turned to Colossus and said, "Piot, help me take care of the kitchen by the way." ”"Oh, okay."
Coulis is really a simple guy, in the face of Merlin's request, he did not refuse, but very seriously brushed the other dishes.On the side of the sofa, Raven's tone was not hurried, and said slowly: "First of all, you can't talk to me like a brother, I don't know you well, Merlin, no one knows what will happen in the future, but at least now, you and I are just strangers who have just come into contact!"
”"Yes."
Merlin nodded, and he said, "You want equal rights to talk, no problem." ”"Second, you'll have to help me find something."
Raven said, "Something that will speed up my strength recovery. ”"For example?"
Merlin asked rhetorically, "You've got to give me an example, right?"
”"Like those two things you hid in the basement!"
Raven pointed to her feet, and she said, "The Green Bell and the Red Jar, and the Lost Silver Wheel, they have demonic powers that I can use to use, and some magical artifacts that are biased towards positive energy, you have to find them." ”"That thing is too dangerous!"
Merlin frowned and said, "I won't give it to you unless I'm crazy."
Raven, there are three demons that don't know the details of it!
”"I know."
Raven replied expressionlessly, "The Three Ancient Demons, Abni Gaza, Russ, and Gast, are known as the Three Demons.Legend has it that they ruled the galaxy more than a billion years ago.But that's just a lie, the three of them together can be considered a powerful demon lord, but to me, they are not very threatening...
They are far from the third house. ”"Looks like you know a lot."
Merlin stared at his sister and said, "Where did you know this?"
”"The temple of Azax contains a picture book of famous demons and devils.""
When I was bored as a kid, I would read it, and I read it as a storybook, and that's it," Raven said. ”"Okay."
Merlin nodded, and he said to Raven, "I can consider helping you collect those strange things, but can you take the knowledge in that book...""
If you get a strange thing back, I'll copy the book for you."
Raven turned her head to look at the two blue cats and gray mice chasing each other on the screen, her eyes flashed, and she said to Merlin without looking back, "Don't expect me to give it to you for free." ”"I guessed it."
Merlin said with a lack of interest: "After all, you are such a cold girl.What about the third thing?
”"The third thing..."
Raven was silent for a moment, and she said to Merlin, "You have to hunt those sons of the three palaces instead of me, get their power seeds, and then absorb them, so that the power seeds in your body can be sublimated to the highest form as quickly as possible." ”"Why?"

Merlin's expression became serious, and he said, "I'm not you, Raven, I don't have as much talent and as good luck as you, you know, once I ingest the power seed again, I will...""
Half-demon?"
Raven pulled out a sarcastic smile as she said to Merlin, "Isn't that inevitable?"
The last time we met, I said that your efforts were in vain.From the beginning of Sannomiya to play this Gu raising game until now, no son of Sannomiya has been able to escape the end of becoming a half-demon, and even I can't escape that fate. ”"I don't know why you're resisting this inevitable outcome, and I don't care."
Raven accentuated: "But I need you to fight against Sannomiya with me."
This time it has taught me that it is not enough to bury it completely on my own, I need help, and it seems that you are a good fit for now. ”"Last time you said, the seed in my body is special."
Merlin closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he spoke, "And it's not just you, many people say so.Can you tell me what makes me special?
”"You have seen my original sin."
Raven said in a calm tone, "Can't you guess?
Or are you afraid to face that truth?
”Merlin's fingers tightened, and he whispered, "You mean, in my body...
Also original sin?
”"Hmm."
Raven nodded: "Sannomiya gave you a trace of its core power, but you have never faced it squarely, or even understood it.It's like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand, but this matter will not disappear just because you choose to escape, you will have to face it sooner or later. ”"It is precisely because you carry an original sin that you have not lost your mind because of it, but you live more like a person than all the other sons of the three houses...
I chose to let you go. ”Raven said, "If you can activate your original sin, if I can find a way to control my original sin, then the two of us can join forces...""
What can it be?"
Merlin looked at Raven, who had suddenly stopped talking, and asked, "I feel that you are planning a very dangerous thing."
Sister, are you planning to take a risk?
”"You don't have to worry about that!"
Raven waved her hand a little irritably, and she said, "I already have a plan, you just need to do your thing." ”"I need to think about it.""
It's a big problem," Merlin said. ”"Yes, the seal I gave to the third house can last for a few more years."
Raven said: "But I hope you don't think about it for too long, once the third palace is broken, we will both be finished." ”"One last question."
Merlin sat up straight, and he said to Raven, "Your original sin is arrogance, I already know that, but what is my original sin?"
Can you tell me?
”"I don't know."
Raven said calmly, "Unless you activate it, no one knows what kind of original sin you carry."
But what is certain is that it must be powerful, even enough for you to rival a demon lord like the Seven Lords of Hell. ”"Also, I made an appointment with Daisy today to go to the zoo to see the seals...
You're going to send me there later. ”"But I still have a job."
Merlin hesitated and said, "Otherwise, I'll find someone else...""
You're going to send me!"
Raven repeated her words again, and she stared at Merlin with a look that made Merlin a little unable to refuse."
Okay, I'll send you there."
Merlin sighed, he took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant Barbie, telling her that he was not going to the office today, and asking her to send everything that needed to be done to the mailbox.A moment later, as Merlin pondered about original sin, Coulis returned to the coffee table after cleaning the kitchen, and he looked at Raven with a look of nervousness and anticipation in his eyes.This is probably the first time in the past ten years that he has really come into contact with news related to his sister."
Velasco is a powerful demonic wizard."
Raven said to Colossus as she watched the TV, "It's the Lord of Hell's Frontier, and I've heard that it has also received the evil inheritance of the Elder Gods.So if your sister was taken away by it, then you can die. ”"Why?"
Colossus nervously asked, "Will that demon wizard hurt her?"
”"No, Velasco isn't a bloodthirsty demonic wizard."
Raven explained: "But it has been seeking to expand the territory of the Hell Frontier, often clashing with the Seven Lords of Hell, it is best at manipulating the will of living beings, and will plunder powerful warriors in various dimensions to serve it, your sister's potential must be strong, otherwise Belakis would not risk being killed and run to the human realm to kidnap her." ”The little girl glanced at Colossus, and she said with a hint of pity: "But your sister has been with that madman for more than ten years, and she must have been brainwashed repeatedly, and she has become the most loyal dog leg of that demon wizard." ”"Professors are the best at decoding minds."
Instead of despair, on the contrary, his tone was full of stubbornness: "He can definitely solve the evil trick set by the demonic wizard, now if I can find my sister...
Miss Raven, can you help me?
”"It could have been."
Raven glanced at the pensive Merlin, and she said in a somewhat low tone, "I could have easily sent you and your friends to the border of hell.But now that I'm sealed with magic, I won't be able to help you unless you can find something strange that will restore my strength. ”"What do you need?"
Colossus stood up, the big man exuding an indescribable sense of power, and he said to Raven, "I'll go find it now!"
”"Wait a minute, Piot."
Merlin said, "Don't forget the business.If your sister is still alive after living on the border of hell for more than ten years, it proves that her life is not in danger in the short term.But not necessarily you, your missing compatriots. ”"You go back and calm down first, and I'll contact you when it's time to go."

Merlin watched the hopeful Colossus leave his house with a vigorous pace, he glanced at Raven, and he said, "You did it on purpose, right?"
”"I'm helping him, Merlin."
Raven said expressionlessly: "He needs help, you don't want to help him, don't you want me to help?"
You are so domineering!
”"Ah, whatever you want."
Merlin rubbed his head with a headache, and he stepped aside, holding the energy spectrum in his hand, and called Fury."
Fury, can you be sure that the Cosmic Cube we found last time is still in S.H.I.E.L.D.D.?""
Why do you ask?
Merlin. ”Fury asked, "Do you perceive anything?"
”"I'm investigating a case of a mutant going missing, and there is a spectrum of energy in the case that looks like a cosmic Rubik's Cube."
Merlin said, "You'd better go to the thing's hiding place now, after the 084 theft, I don't have any confidence in our security measures right now...
Hell, S.H.I.E.L.D. is almost a public toilet, and those people can come and go whenever they want. ”"That's how you describe it—" Fury didn't know how to respond to Merlin's bad metaphor, but after a moment, he said to Merlin, "You're investigating the disappearance of mutants?"
Just about...
I'm planning to ramp up our Avengers recruitment efforts, and Pierce has made it clear that he's going to support our operation, so...
The matter of recruiting Logan is up to you. ”"Yes."
Merlin said: "It is said that Logan is also on the list of missing people, and he happened to be looking for him along the way.Also, how is the investigation on Hydra's side?
What's new?
”"Nope."
Fury said with some regret: "It may be that your killing frightened them, anyway, in the last few days, several lines I found have been broken."
They sensed the danger and went into a 'deep dive' state.But I'll keep looking into it, and I'll let you know as soon as I get any news. ”"And, Merlin, about that 'dress-up' plan you submitted...
I agreed.Start secretly in your department, don't make a big splash, and any candidate who enters the project will have to go through your memory search to make sure there are no problems before mutating. ”"I'll help you cover up the news, yourself, and stay safe.""
After all, the bullets fired in the open are easy to dodge, but the daggers in the shadows are difficult to prevent..."
