Merlin is a very sharp person.Whether it's Ms.
Carter, Nick.
Fury, and Pierce himself, felt that Merlin was almost a natural fit for the job of a secret agent.The upheaval of his early years of exile, combined with the deep dark power within him, brought him a sense far more acute than that of ordinary people.And the things and people that he experienced in the process of wandering also established a fairly correct value in Merlin's heart.He wants to do good, and he has the ability to do good.It is not difficult to do good deeds, but it is rare to do it all the time and treat it as a career in life.Merlin has been in S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than ten years, and he has witnessed the weakest time of S.H.I.E.L.D., during which time he has learned to be patient and low-key.And in the battle for the resurgence of S.H.I.E.L.D., Merlin followed Carol.
Danfoss charged, almost single-handedly, for S.H.I.E.L.D. to usher in the hope of a resurgence in the World Security Council.Later, with the gradual expansion of S.H.I.E.L.D., Merlin also held a high position.He established a system of monitoring and intervening in occult affairs for S.H.I.E.L.D. almost from scratch, and together with the Magical Congress of North America, he set a new order for the aliens of the land.His experience is legendary, and even more commendable is that even after entering the management where he sits in the office every day, Merlin still did not allow his senses to deteriorate.He is still as sharp as he was when he was younger, like the best hunter.For the fake Fury's exposure, Pierce has long been mentally prepared.He didn't think that crappy fake would be able to hide from Merlin for long, but he didn't expect that guy to be exposed so quickly!
Hell, it's been less than a month, right?
Over the past month, Merlin has been dealing with the occult affairs that are frequenting the world, meeting the imposter no more than 5 times, and that's all...
He was actually exposed.And listening to Merlin, he seemed to sense something unusual from that guy's insistence on Project Insight.Those alien bastards claim to be the most cunning of the stars, but are they so unskilled at lying?
can be guessed in a few words...
No.Pierce shook his head slightly.It's not that simple.If you think about it carefully, with Merlin's character, he may indeed quarrel with Fury when he sees Fury restarting the Insight Project, but this deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a person who is used to solving problems through quarrels.He rarely gets out of control, he has always been very restrained, and he has always been very sensible.So, the reason why the two of them quarreled so fiercely this afternoon was actually Merlin secretly guiding?
Was he validating his guesses?
Pierce sat on the couch, looking at Merlin, frowning and contemplative.Well, it's not impossible.The fake Fury was exposed early, which caught Pierce off guard, but it wasn't a bad thing.At least it didn't put him in extreme passivity.He leaned on his cane and quietly looked at Merlin, his mind racing rapidly under his old body.Merlin's train of thought was directed to the Skurull, and he decided to stand still and set a trap for the fake Fury and his accomplices."
Until Carol.
Danvers returned from the stars, catching them all, well, his style. ”"But it's going to take a month.""
Carol.
Danvers, that lady was able to fight the Kree battleship formation alone more than ten years ago, and it will only be more terrifying after more than ten years...
If it is dragged until she returns, once she intervenes in the matter, then the variables will increase too much. ”Pierce, who was sitting on the sofa, rethought the thoughts that had been set up on one side, and he thought with a slight frown: "That is, there is still a month to complete all the arrangements before Merlin is reinforced and the fake Fury is completely exposed...""
Time is a little tight, but it shouldn't be a big problem.""
Using the Golden Apple, you can let Fake Fury continue to advance the Insight Project, and you can also use him to attract Merlin's attention and arrange the rest of the things more calmly...""
No, no, the Tyrant's runaway incident has proven that Merlin has enough resources in his hands to track down many targets at the same time, and at critical moments, there is no room for making the mistake of underestimating the enemy again.""
So, Merlin has to find something to do...
Fake Fury alone is not enough. ”Thinking of this, Pierce decided to get to the bottom of it, and he frowned and asked, "If Fury is really replaced, then a month is enough time for him to do a lot of things." ”"For example, the Insight Project, I talked to him about this, and the first phase of the project that he planned was probably not just the three Aerospace Heliers in the Nubani Industrial Park.""
You also know how terrible that project can be if it is executed, I mean, maybe we should have prepared for it.""
Indeed."
Merlin nodded, and he said, "At the pace of construction of those three motherships, a month is indeed enough time for him to make more...
However, this is not a bad thing. ”"Huh?"
Pierce looked at Merlin in surprise, "You mean, you're going to let Project Insight go ahead?"
Did Fury convince you?
”"No, he just reminded me."
Merlin said: "As disgusting as his rhetoric is, there is one thing he is not wrong about. ”"According to the information we got before, around 2012, that is, three years later, there will be a special astronomical situation that occurs once in 5,000 years, called 'celestial sphere convergence'."
Merlin had a hint of concern on his face, and he said, "When that happens, thousands of dimensions in the universe will be penetrated by special energies, just like thousands of oil tankers on the sea crashing into each other. ”"Collisions in space are secondary issues, and there will definitely be an extremely terrifying xeno-invasion event.""
In fact, based on the worldwide frequency of paranormal phenomena that S.D.O.L.D. has been monitoring, signs of xenosexual invasions have appeared before the Celestial Convergence occurs.""
The frequency of occult events will only increase over the next three years, peaking in 2012 and then slowly declining...
This process can last 10 years, or even longer. ”Merlin moved his fingers as he said to Pierce, "We do have to be prepared...""
The Insight Project cannot be used to deal with law and order around the world, and a direct trial without trial will lead to the death of many people, which is tantamount to undermining the rule of law and order that we have always adhered to.""
But it can be used to defend against foreign invasions."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he spread his hands, and said to Pierce: "There is also the intelligent machine project that has entered the final stage, and the fifth impact of the fire source will inevitably give birth to more free intelligent machines than before, and that will be the last stage of the impact of the intelligent machine incident on the order. ”"S.H.I.E.L.D.'
s surveillance around the world alone may not be enough to deal with such a global event.""
So, let him make it.""
The more he makes, the more cards we have in the future when we face these kinds of emergencies.The advantage of Project Insight is that it can be launched at any time, like plug and play..."
Merlin reached out and stroked his eyes, and he said to Pierce, "Actually, if the Xeno-invasion event during the Celestial Sphere Convergence becomes normalized, then we are expected to take the initiative to produce more Insight Motherships in the future." ”"Oh, that's a good idea."
A smile appeared on Pierce's face, and he was both relieved and awkward at this time.Thankfully, Merlin finally accepted the system of insight he had proposed, albeit with a very different starting point from Pierce's.But judging from what he meant, the insight system should continue to be promoted in the future, and truly become a part of the defense force of the order system.Sadly, Merlin didn't think about using it to maintain order in the world.Merlin simply sees the insight system as a weapon, a weapon to the outside world.But in reality, it could do so much more.In Pierce's mind, the insight system can maintain the stability of the world's internal order while defending against external enemies, and there is no conflict between the two things.If Pierce is given more time, he is confident that he will be able to convince Merlin to try, but the problem is...
It's been 3 years.Merlin may not launch the first Motherships of Insight until 3 years later, and Pierce...
Can he wait another 3 years?
The old man touched his already emaciated wrist, plus he had signed a contract with the devil, there was no doubt that he could not wait for 3 years.It's a pity, fate is playing tricks on people like this."
I'll go and apologize to Fury tomorrow."

Merlin reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, he took a sip of the tea that had cooled down, and said to Pierce, "I won't interfere with him and Project Insight, but I will continue to keep an eye on him, and it will all be done in secret." ”"If it's confirmed that he's a fake, then we'll have to confirm if the real Fury has been—" Merlin's tone became low and gloomy at this point.Neither he nor Pierce spoke again.If Fury is dead, it means that the two have lost a mutual friend in the unknown past.But if he's still alive, then Merlin will definitely rescue him!
No matter where he is..."
You have to be ready, Merlin."
After a few minutes, Pierce reached out and patted Merlin on the wrist, and the old man whispered to Merlin, "If Fury is fake, then your successor is rightfully deserved." ”"If Fury is true, after making such a stubborn and thoughtless decision, it is also clear that he is no longer suitable to continue as the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I will give him a decent resignation ceremony."
Pierce said to Merlin in an absolutely sincere tone: "So in a month's time, no matter what the outcome, you will really take over S.H.I.E.L.D., this is a heavy responsibility, a terrible burden, not to mention that there are bad times to come...""
Can I still trust you?
Merlin. ”Pierce asked.Merlin looked into the old man's eyes.He hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently."
Will you remain steadfast in maintaining order, as you have in the past, and make this drudgery your life's work?""
No matter what kind of pressure you are subjected to, no matter what kind of difficulties you face, can you stick to your heart and do the right thing?""
Will you carry the safety of the whole world on your shoulders and carry the burden for the well-being of countless people?"
Pierce was on his cane, and he looked at Merlin, asking one question after another with a serious expression.This made Merlin's expression change a little, and he said, "What is this doing?"
Pierce...
Are you making me swear?
When did you believe in this set too?
”"An oath is a must.""
A lot of people think that being a secret agent is like being a lackey of the government and the powerful, dealing with shady problems for the powerful all day long," Pierce said. ”"Just as the foolish always think that there is no real justice and justice in this world, and dislike everything in this world with a narrow and paranoid mind.""
But only we know...""
This is a job that needs to be supported by ideals, and when we choose to shoulder that heavy responsibility in the dark, only ideals can support us to continue walking.""
And for ideals," Pierce sighed, "isn't it right to make a vow?"
”With a smile on his old face, he looked at Merlin as if he were a junior, and said, "Remember what I said to you when we were confronted by the Kree invasion?"
”"Hmm."
Merlin nodded, his memory was good, and he whispered, "The world needs a new order to get it out of the quagmire of a future."
We need to recognize the imperfections of this world and then push it with both hands towards a better future. ”"You also said that you are a man of faith, and you want me to be a man of faith.""
That's what I was expecting from a new star in the industry."
Pierce waved his hand, and he said earnestly to Merlin, "And now, you are a man of faith, and you have walked on the same path as me. ”"And you, you'll eventually inherit the faith that Fury and I once held on.""
You will be our successor and continue to uphold the order of this world in the future...
And let a new order come. ”"Merlin, it's human nature that every old man wants to see a good successor before he dies."
Pierce raised his cane as if joking, as if performing some ritual, and tapped it on Merlin's shoulders, his smile tinged with seriousness.He said, "And you...""
It's the best, the most perfect successor I could find."
