"What?
Hydra again?
”The next afternoon, in an office in Washington, Pierce, wearing reading glasses, had just finished attending a regular meeting of the World Security Council when he waited for a document sent by Fury himself.The tired old man only glanced at it, and then frowned.He flipped through the papers in his hand, and then said to Fury, who was standing in front of him, in a playful voice, "You're really on a par with Hydra...
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. ”"That's a good thing, Pierce."
Fury said to his old boss: "Merlin is very lucky in this regard, he always catches the tail of that guy who is deep down, and speaking of which, we have turned in enough criminal information about A.I.M., what is the World Security Council going to do with this organization?"
”"Of course it's blocked!"
Pierce replied without a trace of fireworks: "Dare to participate in so many sensitive things, and conduct such inhumane human experiments, they are carrying out indiscriminate deeds in the name of scientific research, if we don't even pretend not to see these things, this highest-level world security council will simply be dissolved." ”He took off his reading glasses and said to Fury, "Next month...
All A.I.M. offices around the world will be forcibly shut down, and this resolution has been passed, so that your internal agents will be ready to take over all of the organization's properties in North America, and then allocate a tenth of the cash flow as S.H.I.E.L.D.'
s strategic reserve funds. ”"Well, that's good!"
Fury immediately smiled.As an international organization, S.H.I.E.L.D. receives funding from the World Security Council, but the problem is that money, this thing, is always not enough to spend.Especially after Fury embezzled some of the funds and built several secret bases, S.H.I.E.L.D.'
s cash flow was already in a very tight state."
Okay?
Don't worry, Fury. ”Pierce glanced at his subordinate, he shook his head, interrupting Fury's joy, he took out a document from the filing cabinet behind him, handed it to Fury, and said, "This money is not for you to spend lavishly, Fury, this money is going to be used for a secret operation that is about to begin."
Look at this, this is the outline of the action, and I need you to help me refine it and then put it in the World Security Council for discussion. ”"Project Insight?"
Fury looked at the papers in his hand, he looked at Pierce again, and he said, "You haven't given up on this plan yet?"
”"Of course."
Pierce stood up and walked to the window, looking at the crowded streets below and the setting sun in the sky, and said, "This plan was not approved back then, partly because of our lack of technology, and partly because of Ms.
Carter's conservative defensive thinking. ”"But, times have changed, Fury."
Pierce said with some emotion: "Look around us, one superhuman after another has been born, they can smash tall buildings with one punch, they can run faster than the fastest sports cars, and some can even fly...
The mutants, the ones who are starting to be active in the cities...
Well, superheroes, vigilantes.Their talents, their luck, make the efforts of ordinary people useless. ”"Of course, I don't dislike them, and I admire them for fighting crime to make people's lives better, but the problem is, Fury...", Pierce turned to his subordinates, "and you should understand that the line between good and evil is not so clear.They think they are doing good, but it is an indisputable fact that they are indiscriminately using violence and breaking the law. ”"It's like the Batman of Gotham City...
He really doesn't kill people, but in the past few months, he has broken the ribs of hundreds of people and thrown them into prison.I admire people like this, Fury, who can follow their heart's persistence and do great things that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, but the problem is...
Who gave him the power to fly around the city at night, doing what should have been a police officer?
”"Guess how many complaints have been about Batman in the past few months?
Where do those complaints come from?
”Pierce unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, he took off his expensive tie and threw it on the table, and he said to Fury: "The cops who have been robbed of the limelight and their jobs are angrily questioning, if Batman wants to do good, why doesn't he become a cop?"
”"You see, Fury, times have really changed, in our time, gangsters killed men and would send a bouquet of flowers to a sad woman to mourn.But now, they only kill women together, crime is becoming more and more rampant with the progress of the times, and it is difficult for us to curb crime with the current power. ”"I don't want to blame the cops, but the superheroes are really blamed for their...
Well, incompetence, but came into being, do they really want to be heroes?
Not necessarily. ”Pierce sighed: "If we can do what we should do well, then someone like Batman who knows how to exercise restraint should stay at home and enjoy life, instead of risking his life to fight crime...
They appear because of our incompetence, because we have not fulfilled our responsibilities!
”"It's a shame!"
The old man accentuated: "If we don't make changes, Fury, there will only be more and more superheroes, and there will be more and more supercriminals because of them...
It's a vicious circle where people start to worship heroes and despise the government, and that's the beginning of the collapse of social credibility, the beginning of the collapse of order. ”"We've got to stop it!"
Pierce told Fury: "It's not just about stopping crime, it's about stopping the collapse of people's inner convictions."
We brought back Steve for that purpose, and we're running Project Insight for that purpose. ”"Go to the criminals after committing a crime?
Isn't that the equivalent of killing a fox after eating a chicken?
”Pierce snorted, "Crime must be stopped before it happens!"
The moment the fox runs into the farm, it deserves to be shot dead!
”"You're right, Pierce."
Fury felt the papers in his hand feel a little heavy, and he said, "But...
If you're using artificial intelligence to detect crime, it's hard to convince other people, isn't that the equivalent of you're using a machine to determine who deserves to die?
”"No, no, Fury, Project Insight isn't that superficial."
Pierce shook his head, and he said to Fury, "It's a very complex algorithm, and I don't know much about it, but my tech experts tell me that it works."
You can go to someone you trust to test it, and if there is any problem, even the slightest problem, I will scrap this plan, not to mention, it is only a draft now, and when it is officially adopted, it is estimated that it will be a few years away. ”Pierce pointed to his head, and he said, "It's just an idea, but Fury, I know, you're the kind of person who, like me, is willing to give your life to maintaining order, including Merlin...
We're all the kind of people who can put our hands in the dirt and find the good things in this way. ”"We're not afraid to get our hands dirty, because we know we're doing the right thing...

Think about it, I'll wait for your reply. ”"Also—" Pierce glanced at Fury's papers on the table about Hydra and the Hive, his eyes flashing as he said, "I've agreed in principle to the Inhuman thing, and I'll help you submit this application to the Council."
You can start digging into the secrets of those conservative hydras now...
I will fully support you!
”"Just do it!"
——————————————————— half a month later, the ghost base.Agent Barbie sent Merlin a list, and Merlin took it, took it, and took a look, revealing that it was a list of radical mutants who had been arrested this month, along with several criminals who had done cruel things."
These guys...
No need to be imprisoned. ”Merlin picked up his pen and drew a few circles on the list, which he handed to Barbie, saying, "They have a lot of blood on their hands, and such people don't deserve a good time in prison...
Send it to Moira for experiments. ”"Sir," said Agent Barbie with a grim face, "the criminals who have disappeared in recent months have attracted the attention of the media, are we...""
Huh?"
Merlin looked up, he looked at Barbie, and he said, "That media?
”"The Planet, the Washington Weekly, and a few newspapers focused on these things.""
They're all trying to get to the bottom of the ghost base in a variety of ways, and we just expelled a couple of reporters who were trying to sneak into the base in disguise as staff members the other day," Barbie said. ”"Are they so bold?"
Merlin rubbed his chin, and after a moment, he said to Barbie, "Help me contact Agent Hill and ask her to issue a warning to those newspapers in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D."
In addition, I suspect that these restless newspapers may be related to foreign extremist forces, and I will send someone to check them to see if they are espionage. ”"Sir...
Agent Barbie hesitated for a moment, while Merlin looked up and stared at her, and he said, "What are you afraid of?"
”"Do you think what you're doing is wrong?
Do you feel ashamed that those deserved pieces of hell died on the bench?
Does the talk of those who don't know the truth make you doubt your duty?
”Agent Barbie didn't know how to answer, Merlin looked at her, and after a moment, he waved his hand in disappointment: "Forget it, put them in a felon's prison, since you think they should live, then let them continue to live." ”"Sir, I...""
Get out!"
Agent Barbie wanted to say something, but was indifferently evicted by Merlin.Barbie bit her lip, she was a little aggrieved, she also felt that these bastards who had hurt a lot of people should be damned, she just wanted to save the reputation of her department.But in the face of a cold look of Merlin, she finally didn't say anything, but turned around and left the office.After Barbie left, Merlin's indifferent expression disappeared immediately, he rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, and then stretched out his left hand that had been hidden under the table, and on that left hand, the scales of demon skin had already emerged, and the sharp claws made people shudder."
It's getting out of control again," he whispered, "you're starting to influence me again...
We all know that you're not going to just let me go, are you?
”"Hum" Just as Merlin struggled to suppress the restless demonic power in his body, he placed it in front of the table, and the large silver ring that was used as an ornament suddenly vibrate.This immediately caught Merlin's attention.This is the liaison insignia left by the Asgardian dwarven general Vostagg.With his recovered left hand, he held the emblem in front of him, and on the two staggered axes on the surface of the emblem, the beating light represented a force among the stars trying to make contact with the ring.Merlin infused the ring with magic, and moments later, the signature muffled voice of Vostagg rang through Merlin's head."
Merlin, the warrior of Midgard, the trusty Vostagger has helped you find the Asgardian named Skorch...
He is now a glorious attendant of the Golden Palace Guard. ”"I gave him your letter, and he was thrilled and asked me to bring him to Midgard.""
Heimdall didn't block our request, but Skorch's position is too low, and he's going to have to go through a series of applications to cross the Rainbow Bridge, so we expect to be in your world in a few hours.""
It's up to you to choose the location, remember to bring a badge, it will show us the way...
Also, getting something to eat, I've been running back and forth between kingdoms for a whole week, and I need a good meal to soothe my mood. ”"A message from your loyal friend, Vostagg."
Merlin listened to this message, he moved his body, stood up, and he whispered, "The Asgardians are really efficient, well, Randolph is going to meet his son, I don't know what it is, and most importantly, what surprise will he bring me?"
”Merlin smiled, he pushed the door open and walked out, before leaving, he made a special trip to Agent Barbie's office, and it turned out that there was no one inside.Merlin could only leave a sticky note on Agent Barbie's desk.There are only a few short sentences on it."
I'm sorry, Barbie, you're a good agent, I can understand your thoughts, I shouldn't have questioned you like that.""
From today onwards, you will be in charge of the containment and identification of criminals, and I am sure...
You're sure to do the job perfectly. ”"Also, about your conversion process is on the agenda, recently recuperate from your body, and, to appease your slightly stubborn boyfriend...""
If you can't convince him, then I don't mind doing it for you
