The noon sun shines on the seaside town, and the warm light seems to dispel all shadows, but in fact, no matter how strong or hot the sun is, the ubiquitous shadows will accompany you like shadows.

Merlin's infiltration into the temporary military base went smoothly.

A mere warehouse and the guarded soldiers could not stop his silent infiltration.

After dispersing the smoke to the maximum extent, Merlin's existence is difficult to detect even in the sun. The warehouse is filled with cameras by those wary soldiers, but there are no more advanced lasers and sound wave detectors. For Merlin, this place is like a public place where you can come and go freely.

"Secret, where do you put the secret?"

Merlin was searching in the warehouse, and he passed by the patrolling soldiers, like an invisible ghost, looking for anything valuable in the warehouse.

But a few minutes later, Merlin was disappointed to find that there was no paper material here that he could read. The running computers were just searching for some special frequency radio waves.

It seems that the Ministry of Defense's operation this time is very secretive.

Merlin looked around and saw that he was unwilling to leave like this, so he decided to take some risky measures.

The gathering and dispersed black mist appeared in the corner of the second floor of the warehouse. Merlin squatted in the shadows, and he whistled at the soldier who was in charge of guarding the carbine nearest to him.

The slightly fat soldier immediately turned around, but at the moment he turned around, what caught his eyes were a pair of dark red eyes that were shining.

"legilimens!(Soul-capturing Curse)"

Merlin's lips moved slightly, and as the magic dissipated, the eyes of the soldier who looked at him immediately became loose.

At this moment, Merlin's eyes were like a vortex of some kind of light flowing, attracting all the soldier's attention.

The moment when the four eyes met, Merlin's will was like an invisible hand, exploring into the spirit of the soldier in front of him. The fragments of memory from the soldier immediately poured into Merlin's will.

It was like a door to memories, open to him.

Soul-Seeing Spell, a relatively unpopular magic that Merlin learned from Bellatrix's memories. It is hard to call it black magic, although its effect is very evil.

The soul-catching spell is an effective means to draw important information from the target's mind.

It can be used to read the memory and emotions of the subject, which sounds very powerful, but in fact, there is a reason this magic is classified as unpopular magic.

First of all, the effects of the soul-catching curse are also different from the feedback from different people.

For people with weak will, a soul-catching spell is enough to dig out all the secrets in their hearts. However, for those with strong will, they can even be immune to the influence of the soul-catching spell when they are focused. Even if the spell is successfully released, the memories that can be seen from the hearts of those with strong will are quite limited.

And most importantly, the effect of the soul-catching spell cannot be strengthened by increasing magic power. So this thing is like a spell to bet on luck. When you are lucky, you will gain a lot of money and have poor luck, and you may expose yourself.

Secondly, in the wizarding world, there are many magics that can enhance the mind, and there are special brain closure techniques to fight against the soul-catching curse. Of course, that kind of magic is even more unpopular than the soul-catching curse, extremely complex, with a single effect, and generally ineffective.

Finally, using the soul-catching spell will leave mental damage to the subject. The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic can reversely hunt down the user through the magic aura left on the subject.

The superposition of multiple factors has made the seemingly awesome magic of the Soul-Surface Curse go downhill after it was invented.

To this day, except for some dark wizards and knowledgeable great wizards, few people have specialized in soul-catching spells.

But whether a skill is useful depends on the occasion.

At least on this occasion, the newly learned soul-catching curse allowed Merlin to seize the most important breakthrough.

Memories from this unknown soldier unfolded in Merlin's mind, and almost all the scenes of his birth, growth, love, and breakup were known by Merlin.

Well, it seems that the soldier's will is not very firm.

Merlin quickly browsed the memory fragments, as if he was watching intermittent movies.

"This is not useless. Wow, your private life is really messy."

Merlin frowned, and he flew past the peachy scenes in the soldier's mind. In a few seconds, he successfully found what he needed.

It was in a dimly lit base, a tall figure in military uniform was assigning tasks to the soldiers in front of him.

"Jess! You took a team to protect Dr. Powell at the base camp."

"Team 2 follows me, Agent Simmons will serve as our guide. This time the mission is very important! Don't relax!"

"Col. Burns, we found that signal appeared in California!"

"What are you waiting for! Let's go immediately!"

The brief memory ended at this moment, and the soldier who had been read in front of him had already begun to stagnate. He was under great mental pressure. If he continued, the soul-calculating spell would cause irreversible permanent mental damage to the soldier in front of him.

"obliviate!(Forgetful Spell)"

Meilin immediately withdrew his will, his wrist flipped, and the next moment, a forgetful spell was thrown on the soldier, and Meilin's figure also disappeared from the spot.

The process lasted less than 10 seconds, but Merlin had found what he needed.

In the soldiers' memory, he discovered three important figures.

Dr. Powell, Agent Simmons and Colonel Burns.

Among them, Dr. Powell stayed in the base camp, and the two remaining people were the ones who led the team to operate.

Merlin was sure that from the memories of the two commanders, he could find the secrets he was looking for, about the secrets of mechanical life.

For an agent with super-executive ability, having a goal means being able to act. The black mist in Merlin was searching quickly in this temporary base. After a few minutes, he found an agent writing something in the tent in the corner.

The guy was wearing a black suit and curly hair. He looked in his 30s and showed a serious aura all over his body. He frowned, muttering something in his mouth, and writing the pen in his hand on his notebook.

His appearance matches the information Merlin searched for, and this guy should be an agent of Simmons's Defense Department.

Merlin thought this guy was writing confidential documents, so he floated in the air curiously and looked at it. But the contents on the notebook disappointed Merlin.

This guy is not writing any confidential documents at all. He is using himself as the protagonist and writing a story similar to a memoir based on his past experiences.

"Is the agent's hobby?"

Merlin shook his head, and he appeared behind Agent Simmons. With his wrist waving, the green light representing the sleeping curse shot out from the top of the wand, accurately hitting Agent Simmons' body.

The will of an agent must be much stronger than the will of the soldier with a chaotic private life just now.

So before casting the soul-catching spell, Merlin had to weaken the will of this guy who likes to write. As we all know, in a sleep state, human will is the most vulnerable.

Agent Simmons, who was hit by the sleeping spell, almost immediately fell on the table. After a few seconds, a low snoring sounded in the tent.

Merlin walked forward, raised the guy's head, pushed his eyelids away, and looked at him.

"legilimens!(Soul-capturing Curse)"

"Swish"

The same memory fragments poured into Merlin's mind, but this time he saw a lot less memories. This proved that the agent in front of him was really a determined person.

However, as a secret agent, this guy knows too many secrets, even a little bit, is enough for Merlin to be surprised.

"Judy, no! Don't leave me"

The first scene I saw was the experience of Simmons breaking up with his girlfriend when he was young.

It seems that this guy is still a love-infatuated person.

But unfortunately, this kind of soap opera was not what Merlin wanted. He quickly opened another piece of memory.

"The activity of the fire seed is one-third weaker than the last observation, and it should have fallen into a state of slumber."

Accompanied by the conversation, an inaccurate picture unfolded in front of Meilin's eyes.

It was like a secret base. In front of Agent Simmons, there was a silver-gray metal pyramid surrounded by strange words, which was fixed above the base in an upside-down posture.

Agent Simmons looked up at the huge metal obelisk, and he said to another person beside him who seemed to be a researcher:

“What are the results of the wake-up test?”

"It can still wake up normally."

The researcher replied:

"Although the fire has weakened, its function has not declined, and it can still give any machine an unimaginable vitality. But this awakening is uncontrollable and irreversible."

"The secrets contained within it will be the beginning of a new era for us."

Agent Simmons said in a voice mixed with awe and vigilance:

"But if it falls into the hands of a bad person, it will easily destroy our world. What I want to know most now is, where does these mechanical life nbe-1 come from?"

As he spoke, Agent Simmons turned around.

Merlin's breathing also became heavier at this moment.

At the end of this fragment of Agent Simmons' memory, what caught my eye was a huge, terrifying steel giant fixed on the base wall with cold frost.

It looks like a robot flying over a mountain, but it is several times more ferocious than flying over a mountain.

The mechanical giant frozen in the secret base was silver-white, and his whole body was filled with a sharp domineering aura. Even though it had been frozen, the expression of contempt on the anthropomorphic face still made people feel a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Just like the feeling of the ancestors of ancient times when facing those mysterious mythical creatures

It makes people want to worship.

"What the hell is this?"

Merlin felt a great shock and doubt in her heart:

"Is nbe-1 also a Cybertron? Why is it frozen in the Ministry of Defense base! The most important thing is whether it will wake up?"

"Also, that mysterious fire, which can give mechanical vitality, what does this thing have to do with those Cybertrons?"

Merlin found the answer he wanted in this base, but the answer came with a larger unknown doubt. He could be sure that flying over the mountain concealed some things from him, but the question now is, do you know about the fire and the frozen Titan Mechanical Giant?
