3.084 The theft of the base
"I knew that every time you call me, there was nothing good."
The next morning, when Merlin opened the door, she saw Miss Elsa, a consultant for ASUS, who looked unhappy. She was wearing her own windbreaker and hunting suit for work, and looked ready to set off.
"Don't care, Elsa."
Merlin replied:
"The agents under my command have been very busy lately, so I have to find myself a trustworthy partner."
"Wait, don't talk."
Elsa twitched her straight nose, she approached Merlin and sniffed on his clothes, the female agent said with a playful look on her face:
"You have the smell of perfume on you. I think you have a good night's life last night. Is there a girl in your bed who is not awake now? Do you want me to guess who it is?"
"Stop making trouble."
Merlin took a step back expressionlessly, and he explained:
"I just sent my colleague home last night, uh, she drank a little more."
"Just send it home? Didn't you do anything else?"
Elsa asked with a gossip:
"Tell me, Merlin, why don't I know, you, a guy who is not slandering all women, has such a wonderful nightlife? Or do you want to tsk to your colleagues, rabbits don't eat grass beside your nests. Chief Merlin, if I remember correctly, it's prohibited to have sex between employees within S.H.I.E.D.?"
"I said no, it's not!"
Merlin's eyes twitched, and he grabbed Elsa's wrist slightly roughly. As the witch hunter screamed, the two of them disappeared from Merlin's home under the shining of the shape-shifting spell.
As for last night, things were really simple, not as complicated as Elsa thought.
After dinner, he and Hill went to Hell's Kitchen to listen to the famous Josie Bar. The two drank some wine, and Merlin sent Hill home.
That's all the story.
"Swish"
As the light was twisted, Merlin appeared in the slightly scorching desert with Elsa. Perhaps in order to punish Elsa for being unrestrained, Merlin used an ultra-long-distance shapeshift spell this time.
Come directly from New York to the depths of Nedahua desert.
This long-distance displacement brings both body and spirit pressure to the human body and spirit. At the moment of landing, Elsa shook Merlin's hand away and rushed to the side to retwine in the unbearable dizziness.
The girl with long orange hair reached out her hand behind her viciously and gestured to Merlin with a rough gesture.
She knew that this must have been intentional by the bad-hearted Merlin.
"Next time you speak, be careful, my Elsa, you are a girl after all, don't talk like those rude men."
Merlin Shiran stood beside Elsa, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to Elsa.
The latter took it in her hand and wiped her cheeks. She raised her head and stared at Merlin. She almost screamed:
"I hate teleportation! Did you hear it? Merlin, I hate teleportation! Especially you hate your teleportation! You bad-hearted bastard!"
"This is a small punishment, which allows you to learn not to care too much about your boss's private life and respect your friends' personal privacy."
Merlin looked around the harsh environment, and he said to Elsa:
"Let's go, let's go a few kilometers further."
“Where to go?”
Elsa asked with an unhappy look:
"Where is this damn desert? Have you sent us to Africa?"
“This is Nevada.”
Merlin said:
"There is a base for SHIELD here. I'm going to find something in it, and your search senses can come in handy."
"Hate you!"
Elsa kicked the stone under her feet away, as if she was holding a stone and was like a Merlin.
But when Merlin stretched out her hand, she still hugged Merlin's arm like before, and then as the black fog rolled, the two of them rushed towards Base No. 084.
Base No. 084, this is not a strange place.
Merlin has been here several times. A few years ago, when SHIELD was first built, he came here with Fury to re-accept the base that had too many secrets from the Ministry of Defense.
With Merlin's current confidentiality level, he knew that there are at least three confidential bases like Base No. 084, SHIELD.
In the desert of North Africa, near the Atlantic Ocean, there is a base called the "sandbox" and is also the place responsible for the storage and management of dangerous goods and special training for agents. It is managed by Agent Felix Black, and it is also one of the trusted Level 7 agent commanders under Fury.
But compared to Gatler and Ms. Victoria Hand, Merlin didn't know much about Agent Felix.
Also, in Barrow, Alaska, there is an alien shelter base, which specifically detains some dangerous alien prisoners who are not guilty of death.
Finally, there is the Isolated Island Prison in the center of the Atlantic Ocean. While the management of aliens is becoming more and more strict, I heard that there is already a feeling of being overcrowded on the Isolated Island Prison.
However, after reading Jiaying's letter, Merlin was basically sure that the obelisk that Ms. Peggy Carter had recovered from the battlefield of World War II should have been stored in Base No. 084.
This is the first secret base established during the Strategic Science Legion. If sorted by time, the No. 084 item recycled in 1945 should be the first batch of stored items placed here.
Merlin took out his agent's ID and the pass issued by Fury, and he had almost no effort. He was escorted by several fully armed agents and entered the warehouse of Base No. 084.
This is an underground warehouse with 4 floors. The internal situation is exactly the same as when Merlin came last time. Each warehouse is filled with metal brackets and iron cabinets, and all kinds of strange things are filled with them.
These are items No. 084
SHIELD inherited a system of the Strategic Science Legion. They called everything that cannot be understood, dangerous, and should not have flowed into the people as Item No. 084.
But to be honest, most of the items No. 084 are not as dangerous as they seem to be. Most of them are just some mysterious things. But that's it, during the daily containment process, SHIELD's special containment team occasionally encounters some very dangerous things.
"The time was from September 1945 to July 1946."
Merlin said to Elsa:
"What I'm looking for is placed in a black box with a standard gray eagle emblem. You can sort it in time and wait for me here after you find it."
"Where are you? What are you doing?"
Elsa asked.
"I, go get some of the things left here."
Merlin's expression became a little sad at this moment. He gave Elsa a few words, then returned to the surface, and led by the base employees, he came to the storage room of the experimental area.
He hadn't forgotten that Richard and Mary told him that they had left some things they had on weekdays here and did not have time to take them out. They asked Merlin to tell me about the things they brought back to Mei and Ben's house.
Merlin has never had time to get these things. He has time now, but unfortunately his family is no longer there.
A few minutes later, the staff brought out what Richard and Mary left behind.
A black handbag was a little bit gray.
In that handbag, there were several books, several documents, and several small devices.
All of these have been checked by the staff here, and there is no risk of leaking the secrets. Merlin plans to take these things back and hand them over to him when Peter grows up.
A moment later, Merlin returned to the underground warehouse. Elsa seemed to have found what Merlin needed, but the girl stood in front of the black box, lowering her head, frowned, and looking at the box in front of her.
"What's wrong?"
Merlin walked up and asked.
"That's what you want, 45084-7."
Elsa pointed to the box under her feet and said to Merlin:
“But it’s a little weird.”
“How to say it?”
Meilin squatted down and looked at the box in front of her. The box was metal and seemed to have a special mezzanine inside, which could block Meilin's dark perception.
Faced with his problem, Elsa also squatted down. She reached out and touched the welded interface of the box. She said to Merlin:
"It looks completely sealed, but if you look closely, you will find that the seal has been opened and these welded traces were sealed again behind it. Look! According to the degree of oxidation comparison of the metal layer, it was opened at least 5 years ago."
"Um?"
Hearing Elsa's words, Merlin immediately stretched out his hand and touched the fully enclosed welding and melting interface. As Elsa said, although from the surface, the secondary welding and melting interface seemed seamless, the touch from the tip of his finger told Merlin that the slightly thick welding and melting layer was indeed the traces left after the two welding and melting.
Merlin's expression immediately became ugly. He stood up and shouted at the agent who was guarding the side:
"Call the supervisor of the base! Block the warehouse immediately!"
A few minutes later, under the shooting of a video recorder, under the gaze of several senior agents in the entire base, an agent holding a crowbar walked forward and opened the box slightly roughly. At the moment the metal box was unveiled, a few screams suddenly came out of the scene.
Elsa guessed it right.
The box that should have been stored in the dangerous obelisk is empty!
"Where did the stuff go?"
Merlin's face was so gloomy that it was awesome. He turned his head to look at the several agent supervisors behind him, and they also looked at each other, their faces full of surprise and innocence.
"Sir Merlin, we can take out all the surveillance data to prove that no one has ever touched this box in the years before you!"
A female agent supervisor explained:
"It is placed on the bottom floor of the base. There is a layer of steel plate in the concrete wall around the warehouse. The warehouse is supervised 24 hours a day, and there are 27 cameras inside. The picture is directly synchronized with the monitoring department of the headquarters. Unless it is a ghost, no one can take that thing away. Unless the things in this box are lost before we take over the base again."
"If you want to blame, wait until the review is completed! Everyone, there have been terrible mistakes in your work, I hope this mistake can be made up!"
Merlin waved his hand to interrupt the female agent's explanation. He walked aside, took out his cell phone, and informed Fury of the matter.
To Merlin's surprise, Fury did not show an angry tone.
"Merlin, Agent Tracy entered S.H.I.E.L.D. She has any reason to betray our secrets. And I think what she said should be right. The time of the obelisk stolen should indeed be something that happened during the Ministry of Defense's takeover of the base. Of course, the review still needs to be done, and Hill will be responsible for this."
"No, Fury, I'm not just worried about this."
Merlin said to Fury:
"To be honest, I'm not too worried about the Obelisk. No matter who took it away, there was no movement for several years, which means they have not found a way to turn it on, and we still have time to make up for this mistake."
"What I really worry about is the other things that this incident caused."
Merlin said in a serious tone:
"Does a 084 item be lost mean we also lost other 084 items? I don't believe that those guys will only take away an obelisk Fury and give me permission!"
"I'm going to check all the 084 items we have in person."
A ray of light flashed in Merlin's eyes, and he whispered:
"I want to confirm how many precious things we have taken away in a daze."
On the other side of the phone, Fury hesitated for a while, and after a few seconds, he said:
"Okay, I'll give you permission. But don't make it known to everyone, you have to do this in private."
"Well, Hill will be in charge of this with me."
Merlin said:
“If necessary, I would also like to welcome other colleagues as supervisors of this internal review.”
Four hours later, Hill led an action team to Base No. 084 and took control of the base from Merlin. When Hill entered the underground warehouse, Merlin was already waiting for her with a list.
The two met, which was a little embarrassed, but Hill was a mature agent after all, so she quickly adjusted her mood and took the list handed over by Merlin.
After only one glance, Hill frowned.
Chapter completed!
