Jessica waited outside the conference room of the 21st Century Bell Telephone Company's underground base, the private investigator took a glass of water from the water dispenser next to her, leaned against the wall as if no one was around, drank the glass, and then sneakily stuck the cup to the wall, eavesdropping on the conference room.She is not an ordinary person, and in her early years she also encountered a relationship with Matt.
Murdoch had been infected by chemical agents, and that incident caused Jessica's family to leave her, and it was a blessing in disguise that Jessica's physical aspects were unexpectedly strengthened.But a disaster is a disaster, and it can always change a person, and that accident also created this girl's alcoholic and rebellious outlook on life.Of course, when she encountered the purple man later, it was another sad story in her sad life.In short, her perception is stronger than that of ordinary people, and with the help of the sound gathering effect of paper cups, she can hear the movement in the conference room made of soundproofing materials, the sound is very weak, but she can barely hear that in the house across the wall, there is a person being beaten.The sound of the punch hitting the flesh made Jessica can't help but shrink her neck.After a few minutes, the door to the conference room was opened from within, and Merlin's voice rang out, "Stop eavesdropping, come in, Jessica." ”The private investigator immediately threw away the paper cup in his hand, and walked quickly into the conference room with a very deferential attitude.
Cage had been beaten to the ground, and his invulnerable defenses were useless in front of Merlin.Merlin, on the other hand, was unscathed, and even his hairstyle didn't become any more disheveled.He sat in his chair and sipped his tea with a calm face, while Luke.
Cage grinned and stroked his cheek, and the unruly temperament on his body was completely knocked out.But most people with superpowers are quite confident in their abilities, and having confidence in themselves is the first step and prerequisite for becoming a hero.Because they have power, they are more in awe of power than ordinary people."
Mr.
Cage told me about what he was hiding.Some guys who advocate biomodification and evolution are secretly cooperating with the Ministry of Defense to find suitable prisoners for biomodification in many prisons on this continent. ”"The methods are extremely cruel, the survival rate of the reformed is very low, those guys have blood on their hands, and even though the victims are not innocent, they cannot be allowed to continue to go crazy."
Merlin said to Jessica: "Mr.
Cage has been 'persuaded' by me to realize his mistake of going it alone, and he is more than happy to help us find those madmen." ”"It's a pity that I haven't had time to track down the clues attached to him recently, so I'll leave this matter to you, Jessica, as a private detective, you should be proficient in tracking and secret searching, so I hope that the two of you can work together to find out the bastards who used prisoners to conduct illegal biological experiments in the shortest possible time.""
I'm willing to accept this commission."
Jessica nodded immediately, she didn't want to disobey Merlin, but after a few seconds of thinking, she still asked in a low voice, "But how is the pay?"
My apartment rent has been delayed for two months...
I mean, I need money. ”"You guys one by one..."
Merlin couldn't help but rub his forehead, he said, "Why are you all living so miserably, maybe you should quit drinking?"
This will allow you to save some money. ”"Not every superpowered person can be as high as you and don't worry about money, Lord Merlin."
Jessica complained: "As far as I know, the few capable guys are doing very badly, on the one hand, we have to hide our abilities from being discovered by the people around us, and on the other hand, we are not willing to engage in some 'business' with quick money like those criminals." ”"Okay, okay, don't sell badly.I will inform the Finance Department to pay both of you this month's allowance in advance. ”Merlin took his wallet out of his pocket, pulled out a few bills and handed them to Jessica, and said, "This is a little bit of my personal support for you, and the medical expenses I paid to Mr.
Cage, if I know that you are using this money to sell alcohol...
Then I'll take the time to 'talk' to you again, and besides, from now on, you should call me 'sir.'" ”"Yes, sir."
Jessica quickly took the note from Merlin, put it in her pocket, and said to Merlin, "Who are we going to contact?"
Sir, will I contact you directly?
”"No, I'm not responsible for a case of this level."
Merlin flicked his fingers, and he said, "There will be someone to take you through the formalities in a while, and Coulson will arrange a special informant for you regarding the progress of the case."
Let me remind you once again that you are now officials, so whatever you do, be mindful of the influence and means, and try to be as gentle as possible while keeping you safe. ”He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, then stood up and looked at Jessica and Luke.
Cage said: "The two of you are codenamed 'The Defenders,' and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do in this new system...
You, Jessica, pay attention to your image in the future, and don't make yourself like a rebellious girl. ”"Alright, I'm leaving, you guys wait here for a while."
With that, he pushed open the door and left the conference room, and a moment later, through the bathroom door, he came to the mystery room.As usual, Xuanlan stood at the door, waiting for Merlin."
You see, I said, if all goes well, I won't need it."
Merlin returned the suitcase containing the Dreadhammer to Xuanlan, who took it in his hand and said to Merlin with a gentle face, "This also proves that you don't need this cursed power to solve the trouble in your hands, I still believe that these powers should not be activated, and they were sealed for a reason." ”"I hope so."
Merlin took off his glasses, he looked at Icarus in his hand, who no longer responded to him, and said, "But I still have something missing...
The loss of an assistant, a friend, makes me a little regretful. ”"It's not without the possibility of her being repaired.""
Any machine can be repaired, it's only a matter of time," Xuanlan said. ”Merlin didn't answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xuanlan, "I need to go to the ice room." ”"Wait a minute."
Xuanlan quickly returned the Dread Hammer to Merlin's collection room, and then opened the sealed ice chamber for Merlin, where the modified Kree mechanical sentinels were still there, still in a state of shutdown, like a giant steel box."
Without Icarus, this thing can't be restarted in sapient mode."
Merlin looked at the mechanical creature in front of him covered in ice edges, he took a small box from his pocket, and said, "But fortunately, this is not irreparable. ”He opened the box, and Xuanlan saw that the box contained several crystals like crystal shards, and some slightly strange power lingered on the crystals, and that energy reminded Xuanlan of the bumblebee robot that had been reorganized in the workshop of the Mystery House."
It's...
The Tinder of Cybertrons?
”The housekeeper asked, "You want to use it to turn the 'Hunter' into a real mechanical being?"
”"Hmm."
Merlin nodded, and he walked over to the sentry at the end of the ice room, and he said, "We need it...
Its presence is an important deterrent for those stubborn and dangerous spellcasters.I think the mystery house also needs some extra defenses. ”"The power of the strange spirit entrenched in the basement is a hidden danger, it is difficult to touch, difficult to understand, and difficult to resist for any flesh and blood life, but it is not so dangerous for mechanical life that does not have flesh and blood and a real soul."
Merlin said to Xuanlan, "Although there is also a danger of being corrupted, if those forces explode, this machine will at least give you time to escape." ”"I can't escape, master."
Xuanlan lowered her head, and she whispered, "If you leave the mystery house, my existence will soon dissipate." ”"I'll figure it out."
Merlin reached out and took out a shard of fire from the box and placed it on the surface of the large metal mass in front of him, he thought about it, took out another shard, and threw it on the surface of the Sentinel Hunter's body, he said, "We will find a way together, Icarus's sudden disappearance made me realize that I could lose you at any time...
I have a few friends, so that's something I don't want to see. ”Merlin's words were only sensitive, but behind him, Xuanlan looked at him with a slightly moved gaze.In Xuanlan's long life, it was rare to receive such straightforward and frank care.Her first owner, the mysterious Mr.
Leonardo da Vinci, created her, but only saw her as a tool to assist in experiments, and after the mysterious house was infected by spirits, he decisively abandoned the place, allowing Xuanlan and the house to be infected by spiritual power.Merlin freed the Mystery House and freed Xuanlan from a long period of closure, for Xuanlan, Merlin was not just the owner.As he himself said, they were more like friends, friends who helped each other, and went further than the previous relationship between the master and the steward, which was a rare treat for a spirit feared by the casters.A soft "click" came from the depths of the ice room, interrupting Xuanlan's thoughts.The housekeeper looked ahead, and saw that the two shards of fire that Merlin had placed on the surface of the Sentinel Hunter's body were rapidly losing their luster, and the energy inside them seemed to be rapidly transferring, and the crystals that existed as solids became pale and fragile, and in the cold temperature of the ice chamber, those two crystal shards quickly collapsed from the inside and turned into white powder.On the surface of the metal box where the Sentinel Hunter was down, brilliant streamers flowed through the dents on the surface of the body, like some kind of liquid flowing on the surface of the metal, which quickly penetrated into the interior of the Kerry metal in just a dozen seconds of lingering.A dull loud bang rang out in the ice chamber as if an old engine had been activated, and a choking puff of black smoke erupted from the awakened body of the Sentinel Hunter, like a cry when a new mechanical life was born.Under the gaze of Merlin and Xuanlan, the two-person tall giant metal fast body in front of him began to split rapidly, and in the collision sound of the mechanical module and gear parts inside, it quickly deformed in a dazzling and futuristic posture.The first transformation always took a little longer, and a few seconds later, a sentry hunter with a big change appeared in the ice chamber.Thanks to the Kree's heavy design of the Sentinel's war mode, Merlin's life-filled machine is a little heavier and more robust than the average Cybertron.It is slightly shorter than its former sentinel form, but it also reaches 7.5 meters, with heavy, black, angular outer armor on its chest and limbs, heavy square armor on its shoulders, four parallel weapon slots, and its arms still retain the posture of the previously modified sword-type hand armor, which looks aggressive.The weapon equipped with this sentry has been transformed into a three-barreled energy cannon that can be held under the transformation of the fire, and is equipped in the weapon slot behind the sentry, because the Kree sentry also has a melee mode, so after being truly mechanized, it is also equipped with a mechanical shield that can be stretched on its left arm, and in the weapon slot behind it, there is also a one-handed spiked warhammer for melee use, with a Kree style.Its head is very anthropomorphic like other Cybertrons, but compared to other Cybertrons with movable mouths, the robot's mouth is a shield-shaped device, and the two separate antenna-like radar branches above its head give it a silent and reliable feel.Its eyes, the information collectors, were long hexagons, and a beige light danced in them, and there was a hint of confusion in that light, probably not yet adapted to this new life form.Merlin took out his phone and activated the Cybertron conversion APP, and he said to the robot in front of him, "@%¥@!"
*¥#@(Hello, Hunter.) ）”The hunter lowered his head and looked at Merlin, there was data beating in his eyes, and after a moment, he took a step forward and half-knelt in front of Merlin's eyes, and replied in a hoarse, slightly deep voice: "*%¥#!"

(Hello, Knight Merlin!)
）”"Hmm..."
Merlin nodded, he glanced back at Xuanlan, and said, "It should have a new name...
Represents a new life. ”"Call it 'Horus.'"
Xuanlan reached out and stroked the monocle on her left eye, and she whispered, "You lost Icarus, you deserve another brave eagle." ”"Horus?
Sounds pretty good. ”Merlin savored the name, he looked back at the black robot in front of him, and said, "Then, from now on, you will be called 'Horus'." ”()
