"Go stop him!"
Seeing Merlin disappear into the office, Pierce grabbed the phone on the desk and turned to Fury and shouted, "He's going to start a horrible conflict, oh my God, stop him!"
”Fury also knew that the matter was urgent, and he rushed to the door of the office, but the moment Merlin disappeared, Fury actually knew that no matter how fast he was, it would be impossible to stop Merlin, who was already murderous.No one knows Merlin's execution better than he does.After Fury disappeared, Pierce's phone was also dialed at this moment, and on the other end of the phone, a gentle voice rang out: "Pierce?
Why call at this time?
Is there anything urgent?
”"Gideon—" Pierce's eyes flashed, and he said, "I just received the news, Hive...
Dead, your God, dead. ”On the other end of the "......" phone, Gideon, a member of the World Security Council with a great background, and a great philanthropist.
Malik's breathing became heavy at this moment, and it took several seconds before he said in a bitter voice, "Really?
”"You can assume I'm lying to you."
Pierce said calmly, "But our Godslayer has already come to look for you, so you better be prepared." ”"Pierce..."
The person on the other end of the phone was not irritated by the news, he hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked, "Tell me honestly, is all this in your plan?"
Including the one you sent the other day...""
I've always had hope for Merlin.""
I was very conflicted when you told me that you had a way to stifle the threat he posed, I always thought that he might be our best successor and bring a real new order to this ugly world, but you thought he was a threat, I compromised, I left everything to you to run the business, but it turned out that my expectations were correct." ”"Merlin has done a feat that no one could have imagined, he freed the Hydra from the faith of the hive, he gave me and gave you true freedom...
So, I decided to continue believing in him. ”"That is, you are going to give up on us?"
Gideon laughed twice, his tone becoming sonorous, and he said, "You think I'm going to help you keep your secret?"
You think I'm going to keep your presence hidden from that godkiller?
”"You're going to do it!"
Pierce said firmly: "From the moment we set foot on this road, you should know that great causes need sacrifices, many, many sacrifices, and now, we are only one step away from the final victory...
You will make great sacrifices, and I believe in you, Gideon, and I have always believed in you. ”"What's more, you have more precious things to guard than your distorted beliefs in the hive, my old friend...""
Stephanie, your daughter, my niece...
Her wonderful life has just begun. ”"Pierce!
You wretched!
”Gideon.
Malik roared, "You can't get her involved!"
”"It's up to you, my friend."
Pierce's words were gentle, like a kind reminder: "We need you to make sacrifices. ”"The devil must have a face for the warriors to have a goal, and only when evil really falls, will the pursuit of justice stop...
Hydra will fall today and fall apart completely, but a new order will rise tomorrow and shine on the whole world. ”"Gideon, haven't you always wanted to control the entire Hydra?"
Pierce whispered, "Now, you're the leader of all the hydras. ”"Good luck on your journey, my friend, wait for me in the other world, and I will bring you the news of victory.""
I'm already very old, you don't need to wait too long...""
Go ahead.Death, for you and me, is liberation..."
————————————————'Icarus, retrieved 'Gideon.
Malik'. ”Merlin's figure floated in mid-air, and before his eyes, the beautiful sunset was swaying in the large pool of the private estate in the mountains of Virginia, and the halo of water reflected the water waves cast a dreamy color over the beautiful large house with a lavish golf course.It's not far from Washington, D.C., and the low-key Mr.
Gideon is said to have spent his weekends here.On the lens in front of Merlin's eyes, about Gideon.
Malik's information is listed in front of his eyes in the form of screenshots, and judging from the retrieved information alone, the politician is really very enthusiastic about public affairs, and several charitable foundations under his name have ongoing charitable activities around the world.As Pierce said, it's really hard to believe that such a person born with a golden key in his mouth could be the head of an evil organization."
Lord Merlin, I retrieved Amanda.
The evidence Waller showed to Mr.
Fury, it was all true, hidden in the complex flow of cash flows, and it must have taken a long time for the WikiEye to find these loopholes. ”Icarus's voice rang in Merlin's ears: "This doesn't look like a temporary coincidence, according to my judgment, about Gideon.
There is an 85.47% chance that Malik is the leader of Hydra, and from the current intelligence synthesis, he is the last head of Hydra you are looking for. ”"Hmm—" Merlin moved the fingers of his left hand in the air, his right hand touching the Shadow Blade, the shaking shadow hanging around his body so that he could not be detected by any surveillance equipment.He had made up his mind to do the right thing, but until then, he had to make sure that the man who was about to die by his knife was not a pathetic substitute.In the previous confrontation, about the golden cicada shelling, Hydra played too slippery."
I'm curious, what are the other 14% of your absolutely sane inferences?"
Merlin asked."
Not enough information, Lord Merlin."
Icarus replied, "Hydra's internal forces are too complicated, and I don't rule out that in addition to the Red Skull faction, the A.I.M. faction, and the Hive Cult faction that you are about to destroy, there are any other Hydras who continue to hide...
You probably haven't forgotten Peggy.
Ms.

Carter's advice before leaving. ”She said she had thought Hydra was the enemy, but then she found out that Hydra was not."
You mean, there may still be a Hydra that hasn't been discovered?"
Merlin fell to the ground, and in the shadows, he walked past the door, guarded by four armed bodyguards, and said, "That's the 14% you didn't conclude?"
”"13.53 percent to be exact."
Icarus corrected: "Including all unknown intelligence and speculation, as well as other possible outcomes. ”"Well, I noticed you used 'me' again..."
Merlin said, "You regained your sense of self?"
”"It's your delusion, Mr.
Merlin."
Icarus said in an emotionless voice, "I'm just a sane and indifferent artificial intelligence, and I don't have the 'self-awareness' you understand. ”"Well, you're an emotionless electronic creature, I understand, I understand."
Merlin was like an invisible, inaudible ghostly wind, his fingers touching the closed door of the manor, and in the high-speed vibration of the atomized fingers, he 'melted' into the wall in front of him, and he whispered, "Seal all the communication equipment in this room, and I want to have a good talk with Mr.
Gideon." ”The next moment, Merlin's figure appeared in the current member of the World Security Council, Gideon.
Malik's study.It was a very quaintly decorated room, not extravagant, but the Impressionist paintings hanging on the walls, the precious family collection of Monsieur Gideon, the books placed on the shelves, and the elaborate fireplace gave the study an air of quiet and elegance.Merlin stood by the wall, and he looked at the old man behind his desk.He looked very old, his well-made blue blazer was casually thrown on the sofa, and he sat at the long L-shaped desk, with a loose belly, a severely out of shape, and a little bald.He unbuttoned his shirt, unbuttoned his sleeves in an unseemly late fashion, looked haggard, and held a wine glass in his hand with a bottle in his hand.It seemed that he had been pouring himself a drink for a long time before Merlin arrived."
Godslayer...
You're a bit slow. ”Old Gideon's voice was a little fluttering, and he looked up at Merlin with no fear in his eyes.Like a mad believer after the collapse of his faith, perhaps in a world where there are no gods he believes in, there is nothing left for him to be nostalgic for.At least on the surface, that's what it seems."
Come here!"
Gideon beckoned to Merlin, pointed to the chair in front of his desk, he took a glass from the wine cabinet behind him, poured some wine into it, and said to Merlin, "I know what you're here for, so drink something with me before you do." ”Merlin strolled forward, reached out and took the glass, and said to the drunken Gideon, "In what name, then?"
Mr.
Gideon?
”"Huh" Gideon looked up at Merlin with a sneering gaze, and he said, "You still call me Gideon?"
Shouldn't you call me 'Speaker'?"
I don't believe you've been hunting us down for so long, and you don't even know my code name in Hydra..."
Merlin didn't answer, but Gideon.
Malik really seemed to have his faith shattered, he staggered to his feet, took his glass, ignored Merlin behind him, he walked to his family collection, drank the wine from the glass, and said, "I have noticed you since you killed the banker, Merlin.
Riley, Fury's Beagle. ”"You weren't a nuisance when you first appeared, and it was a foolish mistake that we focused on something greater and ignored you, and you quickly showed more lethality than we expected.""
You are like a ruthless hunter, cautiously searching for a target, poor baroness, lady Hydra, unlucky Whitehall, despicable chieftains, one after another, my 'council' has been shattered by your constant hunting, and your reputation for murder has terrified my subordinates who are not smart enough and not firm enough.""
You and Fury, you have joined forces to push me and my faith into a corner, little by little.forced me to have to resort to ethereal myths...
It's a pity that the myth ...
The myth also failed. ”Old Gideon picked up a beautiful sculpture in his cupboard, admired it as he had done countless times, and then suddenly it seemed like a shake of his hand, and the sculpture smashed to the ground, shattering.It's like Hydra now."
We wanted to create a new order," Gideon turned to Merlin, not looking at the broken sculpture at his feet, "but now, it's all over." ”"You believe in a god who feeds on flesh and blood, sir."
Merlin looked at the wine glass in his hand, the amber liquid was mellow, he raised his head, poured the wine from the glass into his mouth, then placed the empty glass on the table, and said to Gideon, "Without wine, I can't drink the garbage lies you tell...
What kind of new order can an evil god bring to this world?
You're just deluding yourself. ”"No, no, no, no."
Gideon smiled and shook his head, he spread his hands and said to Merlin: "That's the faith that maintains the supposed existence of an organization, you see, young man, if an organization wants to survive for a long time, it needs faith." ”"As for the hive...
Look at the way I am now, do you think I am a sincere believer?
”The self-proclaimed "Speaker" Hydra sat back at his desk, he opened the drawer, and took out a golden, delicate ring, he put the ring in his hand, rubbed it gently, and he whispered: "Maybe in the time of the ancestors, faith was still sincere and mysterious, but have you ever wondered, Merlin, why does an evil faith last for more than 3,000 years?"
Have you ever wondered why those of us who live in the new age and have grown up in an atheistic education still obey that foolish legend?
”The old man held up the ring in his hand, and on the emerald face there was a purest and unadorned Hydra emblem, and he put it in front of Merlin's eyes, and he said, "Faith?
Faith is just a trivial thing, what really brings us together is profit. ”"The real Hydra died long after the defeat of the Red Skull, and those of us who came after it only came together because of various interests, but the more greedy people are, the more they will put a layer of bluffing on top of their greed.""
Some people use faith as a cover, and some people act in the name of order."
The old man threw the golden ring on the table, he pulled out a meaningful smile, he looked at Merlin, and said, "This world is full of greedy bastards, and I am only one of them, I am just not very lucky, the ancestors say that the powerful and invincible gods still have not been able to bury you in that world." ”"It's a pity, as long as the greed in human nature remains, young man, you will never want to destroy the Hydra...""
I can see the killing intent in your eyes, you have made up your mind, then come, kill me, and bury you at the same time."
Gideon reached out and pulled away his shirt, his eyes closed, and he said, "Let this all end, in the blood that flows, once and for all." ”()
