28. Dark Walker
The noise in the living room immediately attracted attention.
"Bang"
The door of the living room was suddenly pushed open, and the old butler Jarvis, holding a shotgun, rushed into the living room with murderous aura. He was also a good soldier when he was young, but he lost his military post for some special reasons. After chance, he became Howard's personal butler.
Although he has been away from the world of fighting and killing, Jarvis can still become a good soldier again as long as he needs it.
However, Jarvis, who was carrying a gun and rushing into the living room, saw only the lonely young master. There was no trace of other people here.
He hurriedly put down his gun and comforted Tony, who was a little manic.
Tony grabbed Jarvis's hand, and he kept saying:
"I just knew, I just knew! Jarvis, my parents' death was not accidental and someone murdered them! I got it."
He rushed to the edge of the living room, grabbed the phone, dialed a string of numbers, and a few minutes later, the phone was connected, and Ms. Page Carter's low voice rang in the microphone:
"Tony, what's wrong?"
"Aunt Peggy, I get it!"
Tony gritted his teeth and said:
"My parents were murdered, you don't need to hide these from me and tell me who killed them?"
"Don't be anxious, Tony, say slowly. Tell your aunt, where did you know the news? Did anyone tell you?"
On the other side, Page Carter pressed the button on the table while trying to calm Tony down with words.
In less than 10 minutes, several helicopters roared into the night sky of Manhattan. Under the command of Nick Fury, the agents of the Strategic Science Legion blocked all the neighborhoods near Howard's mansion in an almost inaccessible manner.
They also activated special detection equipment.
It was a life detector similar to sonar. The secret that Merlin could walk invisibly had been guessed by the agents. The naked eye might not be able to capture this "ghost", but under the same invisible sound wave lock, even if Merlin could hide his body in the shadow, he could not escape.
The dark perception given by the spiritual vision allowed Merlin to feel the slightly vibrated air, but unfortunately, at his speed, he could not avoid the detection of these sound waves. At the end of his sight, the entrance of the Hudson River had been martial law by soldiers. It was obvious that someone was deliberately waiting or trying to capture him.
Merlin didn't know what these people were coming, and he didn't want to guess. He just wanted to leave here, leave this mess and big trouble.
"Swish"
A black fighting knife jumped into Merlin's hand, which was the spoil he received after a battle with the Winter Warriors.
If he can, he doesn't want to hurt people, but under pressure to protect himself, he may
I had to start a bloody escape.
"There are living organisms moving in the woods 1,370 meters near the bridge! Suspected target! Be prepared!"
Several improved sonar detectors set up under the helicopter quickly locked the target. In the night sky of Manhattan, Nick Fury took a communicator and shouted at the agents on standby on several nearby helicopters:
"Be careful, agents! The goal this time is very important and dangerous."
"According to the information we have received so far, the target is likely to have two abilities: concealment and energy firing. The infrared detector you wear can detect it! Be sure to be careful not to get too close to the target! Change it to rubber bullets and stun guns. Our mission is to capture, not kill, and do not use lethal force!"
"Set off!"
With Fury's order, four military helicopters quickly passed through the night sky and hovered above the woods. At a distance of dozens of meters above the ground, 20 well-trained agents held weapons, wearing body armor and head-mounted infrared detectors, and fell into the ground below with agility.
The guns they carried were filled with rubber bullets. This thing was a special bullet specially used for storm and peacekeeping. It has extremely strong kinetic energy, but it will not cause fatal injuries unless it hits a fragile position in the human body.
Some agents were holding black stun guns, which was also a non-lethal weapon often used by the Strategic Science Legion.
Those involved in the operation were excellent field agents of the Strategic Science Legion. If Merlin had not been related to the death of the Howard, who had an extremely important identity, Fury would not have the right to organize such a force in a place like Manhattan.
From this perspective, Agent Fury also took great pains to capture Merlin.
The agents fell to the ground, and they communicated in sign language in a very professional manner, and then surrounded Merlin from several directions under Fury's command. It was like a pack of wolves entering a hunting state, and under the command of the head wolf, they began to surround the prey.
No one of the agents involved in the operation, including Fury, who directed the operation, thought Merlin could escape under such circumstances.
But Fury overlooked one thing.
Although he has been pursuing this supernatural creature for two years and has been targeting him since the Chicago bombing, his understanding of Merlin is limited to the abilities that Merlin shows, hiding in the darkness and explosions that can cause extensive damage.
Unfortunately, this is not Merlin's full ability. The contract of the Three Palace Demon made him suffer, but it also made him get some very precious things.
For example, spiritual vision, such as the dark perception given by spiritual vision!
Fury believes it is safe to start fighting hundreds of meters away from the encirclement, but it is not!
From the moment the agents fell into the woods, the actions of these agents could be sensed by Merlin, who raised his attention to the extreme in the dark.
He half-squatted on the ground, his fingers pressed against the cold soil, and his ears were slightly raised.
In Merlin's pupils, the light that was always like a flame was expanding little by little.
This was the first time since Merlin left home that he had so proactively raised his dark perception to the limit. The power from the super-level demon Three Palaces did not disappoint him.
In the darkness, the wind, fluorescence, sound, and even the slight vibration of the earth became Meilin's eyes and Meilin's ears. His perception seemed to be magnified unlimitedly. He received too much information at this moment.
The information that came to her face was so much that Merlin could hardly react, but he was far superior to ordinary people's soul strength, and at this moment he helped Merlin survive the terrifying information flow.
It was like an invisible radar, open in Merlin's spirit, one agent after another approaching him, their positions were under Merlin's control.
"East side"
He reached out and pulled his baseball cap down, took out the small kettle from his pocket, and drank a sip of water.
He ran towards the east without hesitation. Since he could not maintain concealment in front of sonar and infrared detectors, Merlin simply let go of the shadow cloak and poured every bit of power he could control into his perception of the outside world.
Merlin's sudden movement was immediately noticed by Nick Fury, who was commanding the battle in the sky. In the sonar map in front of him, the light spot representing Merlin was moving towards the east. In that direction, it was the biggest gap when the siege of his agents was about to be formed!
"He noticed it! Farke!"
Fury swears, and he immediately realizes that there is something wrong with his prediction about Merlin.
"This guy probably has some kind of super sense."
"Team 1, move forward quickly! Team 2, move clockwise! Others move eastward! Fast!"
Fury issued a new command in the communicator, and 20 light spots began to move rapidly on the sonar map in front of him.
Fury was relieved that at the speed of the trained agents moving, they should be able to intercept Merlin before he broke out of the encirclement.
But Merlin can "see" the information that Fury can see on the sonar chart by relying on dark perception.
He ran quickly, gasped, his brain still kept running at a rapid speed, calculating the positions of the five agents who were approaching on the side. At the moment when the two sides were about to meet, Merlin suddenly stopped and quickly turned to the other side.
The action changed too quickly, so that Fury had no time to inform the team members. The next moment, five agents holding guns ran to Merlin. Their infrared detector clearly outlined Merlin's figure in the darkness. The heat emitted by his body was displayed very clearly on the infrared detector.
But as soon as the agent in the lead raised his gun, Merlin raised something at him.
It was a strong light flashlight that could be bought everywhere on the street, stabbing at the agent with night vision goggles like a lightsaber in the dark night.
The dazzling light made the agent subconsciously turn his head. The trained agent almost instinctively made a defense, but Merlin's fist that rushed out of the darkness was obviously faster, and before the agent blocked it, it fell heavily on his face.
"Click"
The head-mounted infrared detector made a low collision sound, and his eyes were attacked, causing the agent to stagger back. The stun gun in his hand was held in Merlin. The young man pulled the trigger at the agents in front of him, holding the rubber bullet flying towards him.
"Swish"
The fishing net flew out of the muzzle and threw it on the agents' bodies. The strong current that followed made the three agents in front of them tremble and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Merlin's abdomen, legs and shoulders were constantly hit by flying rubber bullets.
pain!
It hurts a lot!
But this kind of attack does not hurt lives, and Merlin cannot smoke.
He could only bear the pain that could make ordinary people lose their ability to move in an instant. Merlin curled up on the ground with a rubber bullet, but he gritted his teeth and refused to faint.
His soul is stronger than the average person, which means Merlin can endure stronger pain.
The most important thing is that two years ago, in the wilderness of Wisconsin, he even suffered the pain of his soul tearing. Now this pain is nothing to him.
Merlin's tenacity and his patience for pain are also his weapon.
He rolled on the ground, snatched up the rifle that fell to the ground, and almost no aim was needed. During the rolling and stop, he pulled the trigger towards the figure in the darkness in front of him.
"Bang, bang"
The remaining two agents were accurately hit by the rubber bullets flying out, and the two bullets accurately hit their chests. This sharp counterattack made them fall almost at the same time.
Another advantage of having super perception is that when Merlin holds a gun, he doesn't need to rely on his eyes to aim.
As long as he is within the range he can perceive, he only needs to rely on the guidance of his consciousness and then pull the trigger.
"I'm sorry."
Merlin held the rifle behind her, held the fighting knife of the Winter Soldier in her hand, limped to the fallen agents, and quickly repaired the knife on their legs, causing them to be injured and causing them to lose blood.
Most importantly, they are disabled from the ability to act.
After doing all this, Merlin could feel that there were five more agents approaching him quickly. They should be attracted by the gunfire, or someone was in command!
Meilin raised his head and glanced at the helicopter hovering in the night sky in the distance. He rubbed the painful wound, picked up an electric stun gun from the ground, and staggered towards the other side of the woods.
"Agents are injured! Team 4, go and rescue them!"
Fury was very angry at this moment, and he found that he had underestimated a guy who could cause several supernatural phenomena.
In less than 10 seconds, he lost 5 agents.
This made Fury realize that his understanding of Merlin was not enough to make him develop a special arrest plan for Merlin.
From what we have seen so far, in addition to super perception, this guy also has an extremely strong will. Not everyone can continue to fight back after being attacked by rubber bullets. Of course, it is not ruled out that Merlin may have a certain degree of physical strengthening.
As time goes by, things get worse.
Merlin, who got the weapon, became increasingly difficult. He knew that he could not fight with the number of opponents for a long time, so he began to use ranged attacks to cause trouble for Fury's agents.
Within 3 minutes, the four agents were accurately knocked down, and Fury added another one to Merlin's positioning.
This cunning No. 89084 seems to be a sharpshooter.
Relying on the perception of darkness that extends to the limit, Merlin repeatedly hits the agents chasing him in almost impossible positions with rubber bullets.
Before becoming an agent, Nick Fury was also an excellent soldier. He realized that several of Merlin's shootings were attacks in his visual blind spots. It seemed that he didn't need to see those pursuers to lock their positions out of thin air.
This is so weird!
It's like when playing a fps shooting game, you turn on the automatic aiming plug-in.
"He's going to run away! Shit, we have several brothers injured, sir, apply for a trial of lethal force!"
Seeing Merlin get closer and closer to the banks of the Hudson River, the agents chasing him can finally suppress their anger. They are all the best field agents of the Strategic Science Legion. When have they ever been tricked like this?
Yes, it's just a joke!
In the eyes of the agents, the target they were pursuing was not an ordinary person who had experienced the supernatural phenomenon at all. This was clearly a soldier with skillful means, or simply a vicious thug!
The agent's application echoed in Fury's ears, and he thought for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice:
"Approved for the use of deadly force! Try to capture it alive!"
"receive!"
The agents who received the order threw the toy guns in their hands aside and pulled out the pistols with real bullets from the holster on their legs.
They spread outwards and opened fire at Meilin hundreds of meters away in every direction. The whistling rain of bullets mixed with the smell of death made the dark force that had been dormant in Meilin's body begin to stir up.
But this
Isn't that what Merlin wants?
As Fury's surprised gaze, Merlin stopped and ran.
He turned around, and the torn windbreaker on Meilin was rushing in the night wind.
He stood there, standing in the rain of bullets, and raised his middle finger toward the helicopter in the night sky in the distance.
The next moment, Merlin lowered her head, rushed towards the agents who shot behind her like she was dying.
Seeing Merlin's reaction, Fury's expression suddenly changed.
"Back! Back! Stop shooting! This is a trap!"
However
It's too late.
A brass bullet mixed with scorching flames drew a dazzling arc in the night and shot towards Merlin's heart.
The moment before this deadly gadget touched Merlin's body, Merlin, who was running hard, was as if she was broken out of thin air by an invisible fist. Her whole body rose into the air in an instant and turned into a deadly black storm.
In the shocked gaze of the agents, the black, mixed with immortal Mars, was like a storm like a burning black smoke from wood, whistling towards them in a posture that swept everything, like a hunting devil.
Dangerous! Dangerous!
Every agent's crisis sensing was calling the police frantically, and they turned around and ran away.
But where can human speed be comparable to the storm that is moving forward at full speed?
In Fury's roar, the dozen best and best agents under his command were almost wiped out by the black storm, and then there was a dazzling explosion like a huge amount of explosives gathered together.
At the moment when the black smoke drifted, one-fifth of the woods were completely destroyed under Merlin's final counterattack. The fierce power, the blowing Fury's helicopter, was shaking in the air. After the smoke disappeared, more than a dozen seriously injured agents were thrown into the mess, as if they were bombarded by artillery.
Yes, Merlin didn't take their lives. At the end of the explosion, he tried his best to control the direction of the dark magic explosion.
He has no grudges and grudges with these agents, neither has the power nor the intention to take their lives. He is not a killer, and he has no intention to be a butcher with blood stained with his hands.
This is just a warning.
The wounded, the blood, and the final explosion were all warnings from a dark walker who was forced into a desperate situation.
That's very simple, it can be simply summarized in one sentence.
Don't look for me
Chapter completed!
