21. Go to Gotham

"That's all about the 'bio-samurai'."
In the temporary residence of Nandarbat, the samurai under Talia placed a CD in front of Merlin.
The latter put the CD into the computer at hand, and while waiting for reading, he looked at the samurai, he asked:
"Can you give me a detailed introduction to this plan? When did it start? What is its purpose? Most importantly, after Master Ninja died, how are you going to deal with this plan?"
Faced with Merlin's problem, the samurai organized the language and explained:
"First of all, the system of biochemical samurai was a plan set by Master Ninja a few years ago. At that time, the organization was split. When Master Ninja's disciple Slade Wilson left the organization, he took away a group of advanced members with radical thinking. In order to make up for the weakening of the organization's combat power, Master Ninja decided to use biological technology to strengthen the combat power of the lower-level samurai."
"He turned his subordinates into monsters."
Merlin frowned and said:
“Is there a lot of transformed warriors?”
“As far as I know, at least hundreds of warriors have been transformed in the several laboratories that are planned to be implemented.”
The samurai said:
"Most of them died in the battle to attack Gotham City. After that failure, Master Ninja gave up this plan. In terms of current biological technology, the combat power of these transformed "biochemical warriors" did not reach the level that Master Ninja expected. This experiment has theoretically failed."
"give up?"
Merlin turned his head to look at the screen. The information on the CD was cracked, and several folders and more than hundreds of documents were interpreted. He asked while holding the mouse and checking the technical documents:
"What about the experimental host responsible for biotechnology development?"
"We paid him the last amount of funds and after recovering all the information, we unilaterally cut off contact."
The samurai said:
"The test was hosted by Joseph Douglens, a PhD in biology who is now in Gotham with his family."
"I thought, with your style of doing things, you would choose to kill someone and silence him."
Merlin learned about the ins and outs of the Batman who suddenly appeared and disappeared, and completed Fury's instructions. He was not interested in the obscure knowledge shining on the screen, so he took the CD out of the computer and put it in his pocket.
He looked at the samurai in front of him and said in a teasing tone:
"But I didn't expect that you would occasionally show mercy."
"Dr. Dougluns is a partner of the Assassin League and has served us for years before the 'biochemical warrior'."
The samurai explained seriously:
"We have always been very generous to our friends. We have not disturbed Dr. Douglens's life, and in fact, we have been secretly protecting him."
"In Gotham?"
Merlin said:
"Under the noses of your biggest opponents? I thought Master Assassin had evacuated Gotham after he was defeated by Batman a year ago."
“That failure was a shame.”
The samurai was silent for a moment, she said:
"But the Assassin League never gives up because of failure. Gotham is a land of unsuccessful fall, and we will eventually purify it."
“This kind of thinking is too dangerous.”
Merlin stood up and persuaded:
"Master Ninja is dead, your energy is severely damaged, so it's better not to play such a dangerous game again."
"I mean, these days of getting along, we have a good sense of you modern monks, so I don't want us to stand on both sides of the war next time."
Merlin said to the samurai in front of him:
"Please convey my meaning to your new leader, and I believe that Talia is smart enough to make the right choice."
"I will."
The samurai nodded to Merlin and she said:
"The hostess asked me to convey our kindness to you. No matter when, Mr. Merlin, you will be a distinguished guest of the Assassin League. The hostess also hopes that you can take good care of Master Demian for her, for the sake of your friend."
"This statement"
Merlin frowned and said:
"So, Talia finally made a decision. She really didn't plan to send her son to her? She just felt so relieved and handed Demian over to me? What if I didn't send him to his biological father, but took him with me? I like this kid very much, too."
"The hostess said, maybe that's better."
The samurai conveyed Talia's words calmly, and she said:
"The hostess thinks that if you were asked to teach Master Demian, it might be better than letting him follow his biological father."
"She thought beautifully, but unfortunately, I don't have that time."
Merlin shook his head, raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said to the samurai in front of him:
"Then please tell your hostess, I will leave with Damian. We will wait for her all night in Gad. If she changes her mind, I welcome her to see her off. I believe Damian will also hope to talk to her mother before leaving."
"I will tell you."
The samurai nodded, then turned around, disappearing into Merlin's room in the blink of an agile blink.
"A Ninja."
Merlin sighed.
This group of senior members of the Assassin Alliance are proficient in concealment and assassination. They walk silently, and the assassination in the dark is like a fish in water. For Merlin, these dangerous techniques do not pose much threat. But for others, such scenes that only appear in the movies will definitely make ordinary people frighten.
Although the power of the Assassin Alliance was weakened by a large portion of its power after the internal cleft and this attack, they were still dangerous, without a doubt.
Merlin took out his cell phone and dialed a number. After a moment, he said to his subordinates on the other end of the phone:
"Elsa, you have a new mission to go to Gotham City to find a PhD in Biology named Joseph Douglens. And tell him about our existence and ask him to accept our supervision. If possible, persuade him to leave Gotham and settle in New York."
On the other end of the phone, Miss Elsa Bloodstone, who was staying in her store, asked while wiping the counter:
"Is this person important? He is also an alien?"
"No, he's an ordinary person."
Merlin replied:
"But he has quite dangerous knowledge, and I tend to include him in our system, and at least not let this knowledge be leaked casually."
"OK."
Miss Bloodstone, who has been idle recently, answered neatly:
"I'll leave this afternoon."
"Be ready for battle, Elsa."
Merlin reminded:
"It may be more than just looking for him."
"Don't worry, Merlin, I can fight anytime."
Elsa responded, and after a few greetings, she hung up the phone.
Merlin dialed another number and chatted with another consultant, "The Little Demon", Dobby, who told him that it was carrying out a mission assigned by Merlin, tracking the mysterious "baron" near New York, and also running back and forth between New York and Skull Island to assist Dr. Vivian in studying mutation experiments.
It had found some clues, and it was obvious that there was a force to protect the Hydra, but in the face of the elusive investigation of Dobi, the news about the "baroni" was collected bit by bit.
Everything is going as planned.
This satisfied Merlin. After sending Demian to Gotham, he might be able to solve two problems at once.
"It's time to leave."
Merlin looked back at the house where he had lived for several days. The furnishings in this house were luxurious. Lars Al Goul was not living for a long time. The taste of the dead old assassin in his collection was unquestionable.
But unfortunately, this residence built in the snow-capped mountains is not as comfortable as Merlin's old house in New York.
His mission here is over.
It is time to leave this remote place and return to human society.

"You're sleeping here tonight."
A few hours later, Merlin and Demian were already in a hotel in the capital of Nepal.
Because he received the money given by Talia, which represents "apologies", Merlin has become much more generous this time. He booked a suite, where he lives in the living room and Demien lives in the master bedroom.
"Do you still have a midnight snack?"
Merlin asked while taking the packed gift from Demian out of his pocket:
"Maybe we can try the snacks in the city tonight?"
"Forget it."
The expressionless little boy hugged his arms and looked at the furnishings of the hotel suite in disgust. He said with some slight urgency:
"I'm a little sleepy, I want to have a good rest."
"This is not like you."
Merlin leaned against the wall and looked at Demian, and he said:
"Aren't you always full of energy? Are you worried about meeting your father tomorrow? It's completely unnecessary. As far as I know, at least during the day, Bruce is a very kind person."
"Don't guess what I'm thinking."
Damian glared at Merlin.
After getting along on the snow-capped cliff, the relationship between this child who always looked indifferent and Merlin was much closer, but the indifferent character he had cultivated since childhood by the ninja master did not change much.
This cannot be reversed overnight.
"Well, everything is as you wish, Master Damien."
Merlin bent down in an exaggerated tone and made a "retreat" posture, he said:
"I'll go out for a walk, I'll bring you some snacks back."
"unnecessary."
Damien waved without looking back:
"As a soldier, it is necessary to strictly control your diet. I don't have the habit of eating late-night snacks. I advise you not to indulge yourself too much. Merlin, the habit of overeating is fatal to the soldier."
"Damn!"
Merlin complained:
"You're just a 7-year-old brat, don't preach me."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out. He left the Raven Victor in the hotel room to prevent Damian from having an accident.
Then, as the light of the shape-shifting curse shone, Merlin's figure appeared on the snow-capped cliff outside Nandalbat City the next moment. He looked at the dim city of Assassin under the night, and then set his sights on the towering snow-capped mountain behind him.
Merlin put a hood covering the wind and snow on her body, then turned into disgust, and went deep into this snow-capped mountain in a flight close to the speed of sound.
Whether it was White Wolf or Talia, they advised him not to pursue the secrets in this snow-capped mountain too persistently, but Merlin is not a person who will give up easily.
There is an unknown force hidden in this snow-capped mountain, and that force is enough to help him.
These days, Mei Lin spent his searching for the snow-capped mountains, but what disappointed him was that after several days of searching, he never got any results.
On the one hand, this mountain range is too large, and relying on Merlin's speed, it is completely impossible to search all places in a few days.
On the other hand, perhaps those unknown forces are unwilling to open the door to him at this moment.
Anyway, after a few hours, Merlin, who had gained nothing, returned to the hotel where Gaddou, and he had his hair turned white and took off his hood in disappointment.
Raven Victor gathered his wings and stood on the chandelier in the room. He yelled at Merlin a few times, as if conveying some news.
Merlin looked back at the closed bedroom door, and he could vaguely hear the sound coming from the bedroom.
Demian is not the only one inside.
This made Melin smile. He walked to the coffee machine in this room, started boiling water and making coffee. After more than ten minutes, the bedroom door opened, and Talia, with a hooded hood, walked out from inside. She walked straight towards Melin and sat on the chair beside Merlin. At her hand, there was a cup of steaming coffee.
"I thought you really wouldn't come to send your son."
Merlin held the coffee and said to Talia, who was sad, said:
"I thought under the influence of power, you had become a cruel and ruthless woman within a few days. Now it seems that maybe I'm thinking too much."
"I don't want to just hand him over to Bruce."
Talia lowered her head, her voice full of reluctance:
"I want my son to stay by my side. He is my son and has nothing to do with Bruce."
"The bloodline connection cannot be cut off in just one or two words."
Merlin persuaded him like an old friend:
"You should learn to let go. Demian will live well with Bruce. He has everything he deserves, and most importantly, he will be exposed to the life he deserves, rather than continuing to live in a hellish deadly weapon."
He took a sip of bitter coffee and said:
"You guys are almost ruining this child, he doesn't even have a childhood."
"He also inherited the bloodline of Lars Al Goul, the training he received, and the life he had in the past, all that he had to go through."
Talia said:
"As the grandson of the Ninja Master, Damien will never have a peaceful life in his life, and this is his destiny."
"Let him choose it."
Merlin had no intention of arguing with Thalia in this regard, he said:
"He is an excellent child, and he will definitely be able to control his life. As for you, Talia is interested in telling you, how are you going to deal with the mess at hand?"
Chapter completed!
