"Yes, it was Pierce who brought it up."
In Fury's office, Director Halo looked at Merlin with a serious face, and he replied, "At first, it was just a rough draft plan, and then after continuous revision, it became what it is now. ”Fury stared at Merlin for a few seconds before he said, "You're right, one of the original design ideas for this thing was that it could be used to suppress supercriminals if necessary." ”"But just like the question you just raised, I also have doubts, to gain insight into the firepower of the mothership, it is okay to use it to deal with ordinary crimes, if it is used to deal with super criminals, it is a little inadequate.""
But if we think about it differently, it's actually very suitable for dealing with the Intelligence..."
Merlin stretched out his finger and stroked the documents of Project Insight, and he whispered to Fury, "I mean the Robotics Hub that monitors Nubani, as well as the free Robotics entrenched in Wakanda, if they get out of control on a large scale, then relying on the Firepower Projection and Accuracy of the Insight Mothership, we can solve the problem in a short time." ”"You're a talent, Merlin."
Fury's eyes lit up, he rubbed his chin, and said, "That's a good idea, we can deploy it in East Africa first, as a supplement to the Smart Machine Program." ”"Yes, it's okay with smart machines."
Merlin nodded and said, "But not for humans, I still have the same point of view just now, compared to the social problems caused by superheroes, the trouble caused by the insight plan is obviously more terrible once it gets out of control." ”"Fury, you know me, I'm not a perfectionist either.I know sometimes we have to cut through the mess quickly.The reason I don't like superheroes is that they always judge good and evil according to their own ideas, and they ignore the rules and act recklessly. ”Merlin took a step back, leaned against the window, let the sun shine on him, and said to Fury, "But if we launch these flawed ships into the air and decide the life and death of a large group of people according to the ideas of a small group of people, then what difference will we have from those naïve heroes?"
”"More importantly, how can you make sure that this thing won't be misused?
What if it is used as a bargaining chip to intervene in the confrontation between countries?
”"I trust Pierce, but the other members of the World Security Council are also human beings, they represent their respective countries, they want to fight for their country's rights, they also have seven emotions and six desires...
That means that in extreme cases, they also have a soft underbelly. ”"So unfortunately, Fury, I won't approve of it, and I'm not going to join it."
Merlin said: "I'd rather use my own way, my own means to restrain those superheroes, to screen, to train them."
It may take a lot of time, it may fail, but at least it will not cause mass casualties, and it will not cause a war. ”"No regrets, at least no regrets to me."
Fury was very carefree, and after he walked back to his desk with his hands behind his back, Director Boiled Egg turned around, winked at Merlin, and then lowered his voice and said, "Because actually, I don't agree with Project Insight...""
Pierce was interested in it, but I...
Maybe it's because I'm too suspicious, but I've always felt like we'd better not send the ship into the sky until the hydra inside of us is confirmed to be cleaned. ”"Huh?"
Merlin asked in surprise, "After the death of the 'Speaker', do you still think there is a Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
”"No way."
Fury sat down in his chair, stretched, and said to Merlin, "They're so good at hiding, so good at hiding, I really can't rest assured...
So a little later, a little later, I'll have a good discussion with Pierce about it. ”"Merlin, Project Insight is never the ultimate solution to our problems, and in fact, even if you agree with it, I only use it as an adjunct.At the end of the day, Project Insight is only for the average person, but look at the world around us, Merlin, we're witnessing the emergence of new humans, people who can fly, tear through buildings with their bare hands, and race cars that are fast...""
Once their power is thrown into crime, it can render the order we have worked so hard to maintain meaningless in an instant."
Fury reached out and touched his blindfolded eyes, and said, "Even I am one of them, and I know what this power can turn into if it is not restrained, maybe times have really changed, and it has become something that makes me feel dazed and helpless occasionally..."
Sit down, let's talk, it's rare to have time. ”Merlin looked at Fury, who rarely saw such a tired expression on Fury's face, and he had the impression that Fury had always been the kind of cold-faced, hard-nosed tough guy he had imaged.This guy has been engaged in secret work since he was a military spy when he was young, and now he is in his 60s, and he is the king of agents in the true sense of the word.However, the king of agents will also be old.Merlin knows that Fury has recently begun to secretly inject SSS serum that can maintain youth, vitality and energy.
Agent Duggan said that the serum had terrible after-effects, and he didn't know if Fury could get through it.People, no matter how powerful and ruthless they are when they are young, once they are old, they will naturally become gentle and sensitive.That's probably why Fury invited Merlin to chat.Merlin sat in his chair, and instead of sitting upright as before, he changed to a more comfortable position, and he reached out and shook it, throwing a magic that could block out sound escape in the office.He took out two cigars and threw one to Fury, who took it in his hand, looked at the cigar, and said, "Agents shouldn't be immersed in this kind of enjoyment, the smell of tobacco will reveal their location, especially when they are lurking and scouting, a wisp of sparks will make the mission fail...""
You're not on the battlefield right now, you might learn to be kind to yourself."
Merlin flicked his fingers, and two flames floated in front of his eyes and Fury, who unskillfully placed the cigar near the fire, then took a puff and spewed out the smoke again.The two guys were just smoking, and after a few minutes, Fury suddenly asked, "Merlin, S.H.I.E.D."
What does that mean?
”"Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau."
Merlin opened his mouth to utter a barrage of words, and he glanced at Fury, who said, "You have a good name, and now you call it S.H.I.E.L.D. yourself." ”"No, no, no, I mean, Merlin."
Fury propped his head on his hands, he looked at Merlin, and he said, "What does it mean to you?"
”"Your question..."
Merlin frowned, he didn't know how to answer Fury's question for a moment, mainly, he didn't know what Fury was trying to ask.He hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Well, it means a line." ”"Being somewhere between the real world and the weirder world means that we, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., have to keep people from knowing what they're not ready to know, we're all a bunch of keepers, the difference is just how many secrets we know.""
If we don't protect the secrets that should be sealed, it means that we have to keep them safe before they hurt people, and people harm themselves and the world."
Merlin flicked his fingers and said to Fury, "In summary, S.H.I.E.D.It means maintaining order and shaping a better order. ”"Also, if you ever ask, I'll tell you, S.H.I.E.L.D. is still my home..."
Merlin had a fleeting smile on his face as he said to Fury, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
”"What does this have to do with whether I'm satisfied or not?
We're just talking, Merlin, you guy, be careful. ”Fury looked up and spat the smoke ring into the air, and he asked, "But you just said that we maintain order, Merlin, what do you understand, and what is the order that is maintained?"
”"You're all having strange questions today, Fury."
Merlin frowned, looked at Fury, and said, "Why do you ask?"
What do you know?
Or do you feel something?
”"Nothing, just a sudden whim."
Fury shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know, when people get old, they always think about a lot of things, especially at this time...""
I always feel that maybe a new era has arrived when we don't know it, and those superheroes, intelligent machines, etc., may be a sign of the arrival of this era.And that's something we've never faced before...
The new situation requires new ideas and new methods. ”"So, let me hear how your understanding of order differs from what I understand.In my memory, we never seem to have discussed this...""
Okay."

Merlin nodded, and he said, "What I think of as order is just beautiful things, everything that makes people feel warm, things that want to cry, I like those things, I like the feeling of being surrounded by order." ”"Your understanding is too subjective."
Fury smoked a cigar and as the smoke rose, he said, "But it doesn't sound like it's unreasonable, after all, the concept itself is not too correct."
Merlin, after all these years, have you ever had doubts about the duties you are performing?
”Merlin hesitated for a few seconds, he looked at Fury, and he said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
”"Of course, I've heard enough of the lies."
Fury leaned back in his chair and said, "Tell me." ”"Yes, and more than once."
Merlin said calmly: "When Mary and Richard died, when I learned that there was a Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D., many times when I found out that we were secretly monitoring the entire country, and even most of the world...""
Oh, then it doesn't look like you're the fearless hero that rookies rumored to be."
Fury smiled and said, "It turns out that you are also an ordinary person. ”"Yes, I'm not a hero, but considering our current situation, you can only make up with me."
Merlin laughed, he looked at Fury, and he said, "I long for order to come, but I also know that there are always people who are committing crimes, there are always people who are hurting others, we try our best to save most people, but sometimes, we can't save everything, we have to accept this cruel reality, otherwise, next time, none of us can save it." ”"Life should be like this, a family, yours and mine, it should be lovely, and a safe haven.Yes, our work is unsightly, dishonorable, and burdens people with sin, but outside of us, others can have such a life, and we can have it.Merlin snapped his fingers and said, "It's fair that sacrifice is rewarded." ”"You're really like me when I was younger."
Fury shook his head, he had a low smile on his face, and he said, "Of course, I didn't have the strange ability of yours at that time, I remember when I was the same age as you, during the Cold War, I did a lot of unseen people, those dark things, they changed me, I remember what I wanted most at that time was that the things I did were really useful." ”"I occasionally wish someone would say 'thank you' to me for what I did.""
Anyone who needs a decent "thank you" to do things is a sissy. ”Merlin blinked, as if he was deliberately provoking Fury, and said, "Are you really just here to do this job for the sake of someone else's thank you?"
”"No, but I feel like I deserve it."
Fury also laughed, and he said, "You deserve it, too." ”"Thank you, Merlin, for everything you've done for this world."
Fury's thank you made Merlin frown, he looked at Fury's face carefully, and after a few seconds, he said, "You are not normal today, to be honest, I seriously suspect that you have been drugged." ”"Well, maybe it's the after-effects of just starting to receive SSS serum."
Fury rubbed his forehead and said, "I've been thinking about these emotional questions lately...
Well, to get back to the previous question, your Superhero Registration Act, if it starts with a large-scale implementation, will definitely be met with the expected resistance, so we have to take it slow and take it step by step. ”"I think it might be better to have a semi-official civil society organization do this kind of initiative at the beginning."
Fury looked at Merlin and said, "Superheroes are born from ordinary people, so if we want to control them, maybe we should start with the minds of ordinary people."
I mean, if the vast majority of people feel that superheroes need to be controlled, then it's easier for us to get involved. ”"If heroes claim to protect ordinary people, then they should learn to listen to the protected.You know what I mean?
”"Got it."
Merlin nodded, and he said: "Subtly, conventionally, guiding public opinion and dividing and co-opting, it is still the same old-fashioned, but it is very effective. ”"Well, that's it."
Fury looked at the Superhero Registration Act in front of him, and said, "The world, order, the good things we guard, because these new factors have entered the node of order and chaos, we can't stand idly by, we need to help it." ”"It's like we've done countless times before
