Five minutes after Merlin received the message, he arrived at Tucker's "secret stronghold", which was actually a cleaned sewer under Hell's Kitchen.

As a local tyrant who is engaged in a less "legal" business, Tucker has many strongholds for hiding goods. After knowing from Ada that someone was chasing her, Tucker took the child to his most hidden hideout.

When Merlin arrived, Ada was sitting cross-legged on Tucker's bed eating, watching her voracious look and her dirty and thin face. It shouldn't be so easy for this child to live alone for a while.

“Good done, Tucker.”

Merlin took out a stack of money from her pocket and handed it to the black guy in front of her, which was the reward he had agreed to.

"You really helped me a lot."

"It's nothing, help each other."

Tucker laughed and took the money. He glanced at the girl behind him and said to Merlin:

"Then I won't disturb your communication with this child. I'll go up first and give you a look."

"No, you go home."

Merlin reminded:

"The background of this child is not that simple. As an ordinary person, don't participate. Forget about this matter completely. Come, Tucker, look here, I'll show you something good."

Under Merlin's guidance, Tucker subconsciously raised his head, and saw the red "wooden stick" in Merlin's hand emit a white light. Then he felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer, and all his thinking fell into extreme stagnation.

Using a forgetting spell to wash away all Tucker's memory of Ada, Merlin put away his wand and said to the dull black guy in front of him:

"Get a good rest tonight, don't hang out with your 'girlfriends', and don't forget to donate to the church this month."

"Go back,"

Merlin threw a spiritually guided seal at Tucker, making Tucker climb onto the ground like a monkey, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

After Tucker left, Merlin tidied up her clothes and walked into the small house opened in the sewer.

The chandeliers above the head of the house emitted beige light, illuminating the hidden things in the hiding place. The boxes built were filled with bullets, and there were several 70% new guns in the corner. There were enough food and drinking water on the other side, and a TV was hung on the wall.

Obviously, this is a temporary shelter made by Tucker for himself. It looks quite cozy.

"He is quite a sense of crisis."

Merlin curled his lips. He knew that Tucker was not a good person, but this guy was quite reliable when necessary.

He turned his head to look at Ada who was sitting on the bed. The girl washed her face and was no longer dirty. She had obvious mixed-race characteristics, with short black hair and big brown eyes. She held a rifle about the same height as hers in her hands, and pointed the muzzle at Merlin with some difficulty.

This child is very keen. She should have discovered Merlin who was talking to Tucker just now. So she used local materials and tried to protect herself with the weapons left by Tucker.

However, when she saw Merlin's face illuminated under the light, Ada widened her eyes and lowered the heavy gun in her hand.

"Mr. Merlin?"

Ada, or Daisy, she knew Merlin.

When she was at the St. Agnes Orphanage, she could see Merlin taking food to see the children.

Moreover, she and Eric have a good relationship. When Eric stays in the orphanage, he always brings Ada, who was still young at that time, to play with him.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing a trustworthy acquaintance, Ada felt relieved. She picked up the cookies on her hand and asked while eating:

"Did you ask Tucker to save me?"

"Yeah, yes."

Merlin squatted down and looked at the little girl sitting cross-legged on the bed in front of him. He looked at Ada's thin, scarred face, and he asked:

"I've seen it in Long Island. What's going on in the past few months?"

When Merlin mentioned Long Island, Ada's expression became sad, and there was still a trace of fear in the child's eyes.

She stammered and said to Merlin:

"It's a monster!"

"The monster killed my grandparents, and I ran out in the chaos. They chased me, and then another person saved me, but he kept following me, and I was scared, so I ran back to the Hell's Kitchen and then stole me. I mean, I live alone."

“Why not go back to the orphanage?”

Merlin asked:

"Don't you trust Father Paul and the nuns?"

"I wanted to go back."

Ada waved her hand and she called:

"But I can't go back. That person has been chasing me, he hurts a lot of people, he, he is like a lunatic!"

"What does that person look like?"

Merlin reached out and stroked Ada's hair to calm the anxious child down, he asked softly:

"Why did he follow you?"

“He was wearing very old clothes.”

Ada blinked and said to Merlin:

"I have a messy hair, always carrying a suitcase. It's too dark. I don't see his face clearly, but I remember when he was talking, he stuttered a little. Oh, by the way, his eyes are yellow, it's weird anyway. After he killed the monster, he shouted to me, "New York is not safe, and said that some bad guys will hurt me. He said he is my dad's friend and wants to take me to see my dad."

Speaking of this, Daisy raised her head and looked at Merlin with her eyes wide open.

She is a child, and in this case, she will naturally rely on the adults around her, she asked:

"Mr. Merlin, is he true? Is my dad really looking for me? Then why did they throw me in the orphanage?"

"This question is complicated, Ada, uh, I mean, Daisy."

Merlin said to the girl in front of her:

"Daisy is your real name, I know from your mom, I've seen her, she asks me to find you and bring you back to her."

"My mother?"

Daisy looked at Merlin with a daze. She grew up in the Orphanage of St. Agnes since she was a child. The words "Mom and Dad" are a little unfamiliar to this child.

She looked at Merlin, as if she had confirmed it, and asked again:

"My real mom?"

"right."

Merlin took out the black and white photo that Jiaying gave him from her pocket and handed it to Daisy:

"This is her."

Daisy took the photo in her hand, and she looked at the oriental woman in a long skirt in the black and white photo. After a moment, she raised her head and said to Merlin:

"She's so beautiful."

"Yes, it's a pity that she's not pretty now. You'll probably be scared to tears when you see her face."

Merlin sighed, and he stood up and reached out to Daisy:

"Let's go, go home with me first, I will arrange for you to meet your mother. She may take you out of this country, but if you don't want to leave, I can also find a way to keep you. At least in this matter, you have the right to decide for yourself."

The little girl grabbed the photo in her hand, and she jumped out of the bed, grabbed Merlin's hand, and followed him out of Tucker's hiding place.

Although there is the "revealing of the Dark Book", Merlin really cannot associate the image of the "world-destroying person" with the girl like a little monkey beside him.

She is the daughter of Yiren Jiaying. There is probably a Yiren family behind Jiaying that has been passed down for a long time. In other words, Daisy is born with extremely excellent Yiren genes. If the prophecy about her destruction is true, it means that Daisy will inevitably have extremely terrible destructive power after she becomes Yiren.

From Merlin's career perspective, he hopes that this child will spend his life as an ordinary person, and the transformation of Yi Ren is controllable, especially for Yi Ren with excellent bloodline like Daisy, she can completely avoid the transformation.

From this perspective, it may not be a good thing to let Jiaying take her away. As the leader of the "afterlife", Jiaying will definitely transform her daughter, which will make Daisy an unstable factor.

Although Ms. Carter did not know Daisy's background at that time, but because of her kindness and the idea of ​​stopping Hydra, she placed Daisy in St. Agnes' orphanage and used the resources at hand to cover up her existence. There is no doubt that Ms. Carter's approach was correct.

"You can sleep in any house on the second floor tonight."

Merlin took Daisy home and said to the little girl:

"I remember there should be some clothes left by Eric here, just in his cabinet. You go and choose and then wash. If you are hungry, I will take you out for dinner."

"I ate at Tucker, I'm not hungry."

Daisy stood beside Merlin, living alone for several months gave this girl a very capable image. She raised her head and had a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"When did you take me to see my mother? Mr. Merlin."

Merlin hesitated for a moment and said:

"I will arrange it as soon as possible. You go to bed first. Tomorrow morning, I will tell you something more important about you."

"Um."

Daisy nodded, grabbed the photo of her mother, hummed a weird song, and walked up to the second floor. After a while, she ran down with a slightly wider pajama, ready to take a shower and rest.

This child who dares to steal things from the fierce Russian gang territory alone is really not afraid of being alive.

Merlin was sitting on the sofa, thinking about Daisy, trying to find a better solution.

A few minutes later, Merlin suddenly raised her head.

Raven Victor, flying in the sky near the block, shared a picture with him. In the dim light of the evening, a man with a suitcase was walking towards Merlin's house.

As Daisy said, the man was wearing an old suit, which didn't look very fit and was a little wide-minded, and the man's hair was messy, like a down-and-out unemployed person.

He seemed a little nervous, and while walking, he looked around vigilantly.

In Victor's vision, Merlin could clearly see that this man did have yellow eyes.

Moreover, he exuded a scent that was not easy to describe.

It's like the breath of some kind of beast, irritable and uneasy, full of aggressiveness, but the aggressiveness is well hidden under the appearance of being down and out. At least for ordinary people, at first glance, this down and out man does not have much threat.

"Little Daisy, I'll go out and buy something."

Merlin shouted in the direction of the bathroom:

"You go to bed well, I will be back soon."

"oh."

Daisy responded.

Merlin took out a pair of black gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands. He opened the door and walked out of his house.

I happened to meet the man walking along the street.

Merlin had his left hand in his pocket and stood in front of his house. He looked at the down-and-out man in front of him who always had a smile of charming smile. He said:

"This is private land, sir, I don't welcome strangers very much."

"I'm not a stranger."

The man put down the suitcase in his hand, with a strange smile on his face, rubbed his hands in a rustic manner, and said to Meilin in a short tone:

"I just want to take that girl away, it's not safe for her to continue to stay in the city. I don't want to hurt anyone, actually, I'm a doctor and I've saved a lot of people."

"doctor?"

Meilin looked at the man in front of him who seemed to have come out of the picture of the previous era. The latter felt Meilin's suspicion. He smiled, squatted down, opened his suitcase, and pointed to the various medicine bottles, syringes and various medical equipment that were neatly placed in the box, as if he was proving his identity.

"I'm really a doctor, my name is Zalvin Johnson, I have my own clinic in Brooklyn, I also have a medical license, I'm willing to help others, I'm just me."

The man spoke, his tone became stuttering. He seemed to want to say something to make Merlin believe him, but there seemed to be some force to stop him from praying in such a humble tone.

After a moment, he raised his head, and a fierce light had already shone in his strange yellow eyes.

"I just want to take away my most important treasure, get out of here!"

"Is personality split?"

Merlin also has rich medical knowledge. At this moment, the expression of the man in front of him and his slightly hideous face meant that his spirit was in a very unstable state, which looked like a situation of personality splitting.

A fierce and irritable personality is emerging from his consciousness and is about to replace the previous down-and-out and gentle personality.

"I can't hand Daisy over to you."

Merlin stretched out his right hand, and the jumping black mist formed a sharp dagger in his hand. He looked at the increasingly irritable middle-aged man in front of him, and he said:

"No matter why you came, your situation is obviously not suitable for caring for a child."

"That's not your final say! You don't have the right to take her away!"

The irritable Dr. Zalvin was like a real beast. He gasped, grabbed the syringe in the suitcase and was about to stab the needle into his arm.

Merlin waved his hand, and the whistling shadow knife accurately shattered the needle in Zalvin's hand. The strange drug with a irritating smell sprinkled everywhere in the sound of the broken plastic.

"Mr. Merlin, what's wrong with it outside?"

At this time, Little Daisy's voice sounded in the room. When he heard this, the irritable doctor Zalvin, who was already ready for attack, suddenly stopped in place. He seemed a little panic, as if he didn't want Daisy to see what he was now.

He glared at Meilin fiercely, grabbed the suitcase in his hand, turned around and rushed out.

Very fast

That is definitely not the speed that normal people should have.

"What's wrong? Mr. Merlin, I heard a shouting outside."

Daisy, wearing her big pajamas, pushed open the door. She stretched out her head and looked at Merlin who was squatting on the ground and checking something. She asked with some concern:

"Is something happening?"

"No, nothing."

Merlin used a test tube to draw some weird medicines remaining on the ground. He turned his head and smiled at Daisy, saying:

"I suddenly remembered that I still have a job, so I'll find a sister to take care of you."
