22. Wasp Knight [97/100]

"It is running away, Merlin! To the northeast, very fast!"

The sound of flying over the mountains kept ringing in the communicator, and Merlin, who was flying in the sky, had to change direction again.

But his flight speed was limited to average birds. At the speed of the Cybertron running on the ground, Merlin's pursuit at straight-line distance had no chance of winning.

The agent flying in the sky estimated the distance between himself and the mountain, and he decisively called out his guardian spirit.

Accompanied by a slightly hoarse chirping, the dark red raven splashed out in the light, flapping its wings and flying around the Merlin.

"Victe, fly to the fastest to investigate!"

Merlin gave instructions to his guardian spirit, and the energy-body raven gathered its wings and rushed forward like an arrow from the string. The raven spirit Victor was very fast, and it had no physical body and was not subject to air resistance. In theory, the bird's flight speed could easily exceed the speed of sound, provided that Merlin's magic power was sufficient.

He shared his vision with Victor, and soon, in the sight of Raven Spirit, Merlin discovered a flying mountain and a yellow beetle chasing along a seaside road, both of which were fast.

Merlin decisively changed direction in the sky, and he planned to take a shortcut to intercept the two guys.

During the flight, Merlin asked through the communicator:

"What's going on? Flying over the mountain, didn't you say that your rebels can connect with each other? Why is it running away from you like a ghost? Have you scared it?"

"There is something wrong with b-127."

Flying over the mountain to answer:

"I found it near the seaside, and it was playing with the human girl at the time."

"Um?"

Merlin also felt incredible. He calibrated the direction and said:

"If I remember correctly, you told me that b-127 is your best secret agent, and then it came to Earth, changed its temperament and started playing with human girls? Are you Cybertronians so lively?"

“That’s why I said it’s not normal.”

Flying over the mountain while accelerating to chase the Beetle in front of him, he said to Merlin:

"I sent it a discernment command, and it should have replied to me. But without it it was like not receiving it, I appeared in front of it and the girl, and they were like frightened, and it took the girl and ran away. I don't know what's going on, but I have to figure it out."

Merlin clearly saw through the Raven Victor flying above the two cars, flying over the mountains and accelerating continuously, and within a few seconds he was parallel to the galloping yellow Beetle.

They were shouting, using Cybertronic language.

After a few seconds, your yellow Beetle trunk suddenly opened, and an arm covered with mechanical parts swung its fist and punched the car body flying over the mountain, staggering over the mountain.

The black muscle car lost its balance and was suddenly attacked by the b-127, which changed the direction of driving over the mountain. The car rushed out of the fence of the seaside highway and fell towards the cliff more than ten meters high below.

However, the yellow Beetle did not seize this opportunity to attack. On the contrary, after it succeeded, it accelerated rapidly and tried to escape from this place.

In the Beetle carriage, Merlin could also hear the girl's screams through the Raven Spirit.

This shows that there is indeed a human girl in that car.

"Okay, I'm going to go."

Seeing that he could not climb the cliff for a while, he had lost one arm and was a disabled robot. Merlin shook his head, and he quickly showed his figure at the crooked road below. On the road ahead of him, the low sound of the engine was already in his ears.

Raven Victor chuckled and closed his wings and landed on Merlin's shoulder. He stared at the road ahead with his master. After a few seconds, Merlin saw the Beetle rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

But he did not move, but stood in front of the galloping vehicle, as if he was seeking death.

In the Beetle's carriage, the human girl with white skin and brown wavy curly hair saw the man standing in the middle of the road, wearing a gray suit and carrying a handbag, and she screamed.

"No! Bumblebee, stop! You will hit him to death!"

b-127 also saw Merlin, but it did not slow down. On the contrary, the moment it was about to hit Merlin, the rusty yellow Beetle quickly changed its body, exactly the same as when it was flying over a mountain to deform. It turned into a robot in one second, and with the kinetic energy accumulated by the rapid Mercedes-Benz, its huge body jumped up, holding the girl in her hand, trying to cross over Merlin's head.

"Clang"

Several meters behind Merlin, the landing b-127 quickly turned back to the beetle's appearance. It made a crisp whistle sound, as if mocking Merlin.

But Merlin also let out a low laugh, mocking the Cybertan behind him.

In Meilin's hands, the black fog that was gathering and dispersing was binding the confused human girl and pulled her from the air to the ground. Just when b-127 jumped up just now, Meilin, who had already prepared, grabbed her accurately at that moment.

"Don't be afraid, kid."

Merlin looked around him, the girl who was bound by black fog and had her mouth sealed, was about 17 or 8 years old. He stretched out his hand and touched the hair of the girl with a terrified face. He looked at the Beetle in front of him who was parked in the middle of the road, and he said:

"Believe me, I'm here to help you."

In front of Merlin, he found that the girl's missing b-127 quickly turned around in the center of the road, aimed the headlights of his car body at Merlin, and it made a roar of unknown significance, which seemed to be a sound signal intercepted from the radio.

It seems to be a demonstration.

Merlin's fingers were placed lightly on the terrified girl's neck, and the action was very threatening and meaningful. This made the mechanical warrior in front of him dare not act rashly.

The two sides confronted each other for more than ten seconds. With the low sound of engines, they finally climbed up the cliff and flew over the mountain and arrived at the scene soon.

It rushed from the other side, blocking the retreat of b-127.

Flying over the mountain, it quickly transformed into a robotic form with its only left arm, waving at the yellow beetle that was constantly retreating in front of it, and advising in Cybertronic language.

As he watched as he flew over the mountain and began to communicate with B-127, Merlin also let go of the human girl, and he said to the girl:

"We don't get involved in the matter between them. Actually, compared to the b-127, I'm more curious about you, girl, how did you get mixed up with the Cybertron? And, how did you tame this car?"

"Who are you?"

The body of this human girl was still bound by the vaguely visible black fog. She looked at Meilin with some fear. The girl's personality looked quite tough. She gritted her teeth, like a hostile cub. She said to Meilin:

"Let me go! Evil mutants!"

"No, I'm not a mutant, kid."

Merlin took out his ID from her pocket and placed it in front of her, and he said:

"I'm Merlin, a 5th Agent of SHIELD, and I'm specializing in these supernatural events that happen to you. I just need to get some information from you and you can leave, I mean, go home."

Merlin waved his finger, and the black mist that bound the girl quickly dissipated. He said to the girl in a gentle tone:

"Believe me, kid, ordinary people should not be involved in such things. This will only cause you trouble, big and big troubles that you can't handle by yourself. What's worse, participating in such things may also involve your family. You have family, right?"

"So, you'd better answer my questions honestly."

Merlin's tone was very gentle, but it was full of a kind of strength that could not be violated. Coupled with his identity as a public official, the human girl couldn't help but hesitate. She looked back at the bumblebee that had turned into a robot form and was communicating with the strange red robot, that is, the b-127 in Merlin's mouth, and then looked back at Merlin.

After a moment, the girl sighed, and she said to Merlin helplessly:

"I don't know what's going on. My name is Charlie Watson, and I live in the town. I'm just a high school student. Some of the troubles that ordinary high school students should have. I don't know what you have to do with Bumblebee, but I'm sure it's a kind, well, a kind alien. It seems to have lost its memory. In the past few months I picked it up, it acted like a child."

She said to Merlin in a pleading tone:

"Really, I swear, Bumblebee has no threat to our world."

"Bumblebee?"

Merlin savored the name, and he looked up at the yellow Cybertan standing by the mountain.

It is shorter than flying over the mountain, about 4-5 meters. It has healthy limbs, but the metal shell is covered with rust, which looks very miserable.

Compared to the anthropomorphic and square face of flying over the mountain, the contour of b-127's face is much softer. To describe it in an unnatural term, b-127 looks like a "baby face" among Cybertrons. At first glance, it looks very pleasing.

The most important thing is that the robot with blue eyes has two yellow antennas on its head, which looks very much like a wasp's tentacle. Its color scheme, and its sharp buzzing sounds from time to time.

No wonder Charlie calls it Bumblebee.

It's really appropriate.

"Listen to me, Charlie."

Merlin looked down at the begging child and said softly:

"Whether your new friend threatens us is not by itself. What I want to ask is whether there have been other things happening in the past few months you have been with it, such as other mechanical lives chasing you."

"have!"

Charlie clenched her fists and said to Merlin:

"Those soldiers! They came to the town a week ago. They told us that it was a nearby military exercise, but then I found out that it was not like that. They were trying to catch bumblebee. I didn't dare to let it stay at home. During this period, it has been living in a reef cave by the sea. You see, its shell is rusted."

"Just a soldier?"

Meilin pursed his lips, and he felt that things should not be that simple.

Whether it is the warning of flying over the mountains or the strange signals captured from S.H.I.E.D., it proves that there should be Cybertrons lurking on Earth. But the question is, where are those mechanical lives now?

"Charlie, have your bumblebee sent any weird signals to the outside world over the past few months? I mean, in words that you don't understand."

Merlin asked.

The girl Charlie frowned and thought hard. After more than ten seconds, she raised her head and said to Merlin with some hesitation:

“It may have been once.”

"Just when I woke it up, it was lying in the abandoned garage by the sea, I bought it from Grandpa Paulson for $100 as a 16th birthday gift for myself."

Charlie said to Merlin:

"When I first twisted its car keys, I heard a faint sound that was the language that the robot who came with you spoke, probably if I remember correctly."

"When was that happening?"

Merlin asked, Charlie thought about it and replied:

"About 4 months ago."

“4 months?”

Merlin calculated the time and nodded.

This time is right.

Flying over the mountain told him that it received the news that the Decepticon faction sent warriors to Earth three months ago. In other words, it should be that when the Bumblebee was awakened by Charlie, the unexpected message attracted the attention of the Decepticons among the stars.

Judging from the time when they flew over the mountains to reach the earth, the time when those Decepticon warriors arrived on the earth should not exceed one month.

The military personnel of the Ministry of Defense arrived at the town a week ago, which means they had just locked in the Bumblebee's activity area.

"Woooo!"

Just as Merlin wanted to continue asking questions, Victor, the Raven Spirit patrolling in the sky, let out a sharp hiss. Merlin raised his head and shared the vision with the Raven Spirit, he saw that at the end of his sight, several military vehicles filled with weapons were quickly rushing out of the town.

It's from the Ministry of Defense

"They must have some special device to detect Cybertronic activity signals."

Merlin turned around and shouted to fly over the mountain:

"Take the Hornet and Charlie away! The soldiers are here, I will stay here to hold them back! Find a secret place and we will contact you later!"

Flying over the mountain nodded, it quickly changed back to the shape of a black muscle car, honking the hornet of the bumblebee that had turned back to the Beetle. Merlin sent Charlie into the interior of the Beetle car, and he reminded the girl:

"The situation is very obvious now. I'm here to help you. And those soldiers are here to catch your friends, so you'd better do it as I told you to protect yourself, do you understand?"

"Um."

Charlie nodded. She had been involved in this incident and it was too late to get out now.
