"Bang"
White Hall's body fell into this secret, unknown underground laboratory.
The expression on his face was definitely not peaceful, and pain shone in his eyes. As he was dying, the sweat was seeping out of his forehead. He instinctively tried to breathe more air, but the vitality he snatched from Jiaying was no longer enough to support him to continue to live.
He is still in good health, even healthier than some young people in their 30s.
But his soul has become cracked due to the excavation of the soul-catching curse, and may be broken in the next moment.
He is almost dying.
"Obelisk"
Merlin ignored the dying White Hall, who had already plundered enough information from White Hall's mind and identified the information of the last Hydra leader in the New York area, a guy named "Chief", and of course the mystery man who rescued White Hall from the prison of the Strategic Science Corps.
From the soldier next to him who was manipulated by the Soul-Reaper Curse, he took the box brought by White Hall, and pointed the wand above the box. Under the action of the unlocking curse, the box's password lock made a light sound and opened it out the next moment.
The light golden color, irregular geometric shapes on the outside, and various strangely marked obelisks lying in the box.
This thing exudes a cold power, and Merlin could feel a dangerous energy flowing on the surface of the obelisk. If you are not careful, you will be counterattacked by that power.
Fortunately, he had known the correct holding posture of the obelisk from Jiaying before.
He first found the rune circle at the center among the three large planes on the surface of the obelisk, and then placed one finger in it. Then he used the remaining few fingers to buckle the corresponding rune circles on different planes.
This way of holding did not activate the power contained in the obelisk. Behind Merlin, seeing Merlin take the obelisk out of the box safely, there was an undisguised disappointment in White Hall's eyes.
He found this obelisk before 1945, but he has not been able to crack the secret of the obelisk so far. He and his mentor Red Skull both believed that this obelisk contained the absolute secrets of the alien race.
Failure to find that secret is definitely the biggest regret in his life.
"How did you know it?"
White Hall leaned against the corner of the wall with great pain constantly echoing in his mind, and his nostrils were bleeding. He asked word by word:
"Do you know, its secret?"
"I know."
Merlin looked back at the soul that was about to dissipate and said:
"Jiaying, who was dissected by you, the Yiren who gave you a second life, told me all the secrets about this thing."
"Jiaying?"
A trace of clarity flashed in White Hall's eyes, and his tone became weak.
"So her name is Jiaying, okay. It seems that doing bad things has indeed punished me the secret that I want to know the most, but I personally stifled it."
He looked at Merlin, a whimper in his eyes, and he said:
"I'm dying, can I tell me, please ask you for the knowledge."
"Tell me first, who is Robert? Where did you find this obelisk in 1945?"
Merlin squatted down and he looked at White Hall.
The soul-catching curse is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to fully read all the details of a person's life within a few seconds. There are always some omissions that Merlin cannot see.
He raised the cold obelisk in his hand, and he said while inducing White Hall's will with Axis Faith and Ink:
"You tell me what I want to know, and you tell you what you want to know."
“On a small island in the Atlantic Ocean.”
White Hall shook his head, and he breathed weakly while saying to Merlin:
"There is a cemetery. There is a small falling starship in the alien's cemetery. At that time, technology could not quickly clear the cemetery without retaining the subject. The war did not allow us to stay for a long time. We only took away the obelisk and the alien. I have seen him, he is blue."
"alien?"
Merlin widened her eyes:
"The origin of Inhuman is related to aliens?"
"hehe."
White Hall showed a sarcastic and weak smile, saying:
"They claim to be noble, they are just slaves! It's your turn to tell me, this secret, I'll tell you who Robert is."
"The obelisk contains Terrigan crystals used for the transformation of the alien. Your guess is correct. This thing is indeed an important item of the alien heritage, but it is also very dangerous."
Merlin said to White Hall:
"Obelief can only be opened in the right way, and any other attempt will lead to disastrous consequences."
"After the crystal in the obelisk is completely released, it is enough to infect all living things within a small town. Only people with alien genes can survive and complete transformation, and other lives will be transformed into inorganic substances."
"You should be glad you didn't 'violent unboxing', otherwise you and your subordinates would have been finished long ago!"
"It's your turn now."
Merlin strengthened the efforts of Axis France and India, he asked:
"Tell me, who is Robert?"
White Hall's consciousness was on the verge of disintegration, which made Axis Fine and Indian lose its effect. Faced with Merlin's question, he answered the question irrelevantly:
"Go to that cemetery, there are instruments that can open it."
"Bang"
White Hall gave Merlin the last clue. He seemed to have completely completed his mission. The expression on his face became dull and his breathing stopped completely at this moment.
Merlin confirmed that White Hall was dead, and stood up and looked at the body beneath his feet.
White Hall's death is not worth mourning, but it is disappointing to fail to find the last link missing from the puzzle.
He frowned, pondering the information he had received from White Hall's mind, the inner secrets about Hydra.
Especially that "Robert".
Merlin was sure that this was definitely not the real name of the guy who released White Hall, but with just one name, he could not find the information about the current leader of the Hydra.
A moment later, Merlin took out the page of the Dark Book from his pocket, then pulled out a pen and wrote a sentence on the yellowed parchment.
"Who is Robert in White Hall's memory?"
"Take or give back?"
This answer was expected by Merlin. He curled his lips and wrote:
"What to pay? What to give back?"
"Looking for the Secret of Infinite Formulas."
"Within three months, one or more of Carol Danvers, Maria Hill, Elizabeth Braddock, Elsa Bloodstone became lovers."
Two options emerged quickly on the parchment paper. The former is quite good, and it is the same style as before, but what the hell is the latter and that note?
Is this the second item that Dark God Book induced itself to choose?
Why?
Merlin frowned and wrote again:
"What does this have to do with them?"
The answer to the Dark Book this time is as mysterious as ever, and there is only one sentence:
“Because ‘they’, I hope to see.”
"'who are they?"
Merlin wrote this question on parchment with a pen, but this time, his handwriting did not appear on parchment at all. The Dark God Book seemed to have no interest at all, and was unwilling to answer this question, and was unwilling to connect to this question.
Merlin looked at the two choices in front of him. He didn't hesitate for too long. He picked up the pen and drew a circle on the first option.
It’s not that he doesn’t like the four female friends listed, he just doesn’t like being disturbed by external forces, making choices on such a fairly formal matter, not to mention that the secrets he knows and what he is doing is a heavy and dangerous burden.
At least before the Hydra ends, he is unwilling to start a relationship.
"Swish"
The black, snake-like cold energy wrapped around Meilin's fingers along the pages, quickly turned into shackles, locked on Meilin's right arm, just like the feeling brought by the shackles before, with a faint needle and blocking part of the magic power.
Merlin had tried it before. Before completing the task, the shackles extended by the power of the god Sithorn of the underworld are impossible to untie.
A passage quickly appeared on the parchment, which was the news Merlin wanted to see.
"Robert Redford is a hidden identity."
"In 1970, a captain used this identity to conduct secret activities on the Vietnam battlefield. He spent the most unforgettable years in his life there, so he regarded this hidden identity as his second name."
When the information is written here, some kind of interference seems to occur, making the following text unable to appear.
A few seconds later, another line of text appeared before Merlin, which was an explanation for this strange situation:
"The former holder used the book of Darkness to set a protective spell on that real name."
"Unless Mrs. Hydra actually dies, or gets the complete book of the Dark God, it cannot continue to be revealed."
"Any prophecy and divination magic will be invalid for 'Robert'."
This answer did not satisfy Merlin. He thought about it, started to write another question.
"You failed to give me complete information, and the task is invalid?"
The parchment hesitated for more than ten seconds, and then slowly withdrew the energy shackles on Merlin's right arm in a very reluctant posture.
Merlin laughed and wrote down another question.
"Is this captain the current leader of Hydra?"
The parchment answered.
"Maybe."
"He's in S.H.I.E.L.D now?"
"Maybe."
Seeing the parchment start a meaningless re-reading again, Merlin shook his head and put away the parchment that was not reliable at all and tried to control the major events in his life.
To be honest, Merlin had suspected before that the page might not be behind the book, Xithon, the god of the underworld, talking to him. In the words of the demigod Night Jackal, Xithon is already the kind of life that reaches the top of the universe, and he should not be bored to pay attention to such a small agent as himself.
From this inquiry and answer, Merlin was basically sure that the person who talked to him through this page was probably not Sithorne.
It should be a group of idle guys who know everything and want to do something.
Merlin looked at the obelisk that was placed at hand in a little disappointed manner. He looked at the strange runes around the obelisk, the interlaced circles and lines, which looked meaningless.
But Merlin's expression became strange during observation.
He took out a piece of paper and gently pasted it on every corner of the surface of the obelisk, and then manipulated his magic to pick up a pencil, just like an invisible hand rubbing the runes on the surface of the obelisk.
After a moment, Meilin spread out the printed paper and put it in front of him.
It was a dense picture of lines of varying thickness and circles of different sizes, meaningless and unruly figures.
It's like a weird password.
Merlin looked at the picture in front of him, rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
This should be some secret language, or simply an encrypted map.
Most importantly, he had seen such figures with interlaced symbols and lines before!
Just in the accuser Ronan's flagship Dark Star, there are many similar strange graphics, which means that this thing is related to the Kerry people?
Merlin looked at the obelisk in front of him with a cold light shining under the light, and his eyes narrowed.
"White Hall has studied the Irvine all his life. His understanding of the history of Irvine is even deeper than those real Irvine. He said that Irvine is the slave of aliens, the slave of Kerry?"
"How is this possible? Carol said that Ronan and his fleet had arrived on Earth for the first time. Their mark on Earth was C-53, which represents a world that had not been explored, but White Hall also said that there were alien cemeteries and crashed starships on an island in the Atlantic Ocean. He should not lie to me in this matter."
"The Kerry people have been to Earth before, and probably a long time ago, before the birth of human history. They created the Inhuman at that time? But why, why did they throw Inhuman on Earth again?"
"etc."
Merlin stretched out her fingers and rubbed her forehead, and he said:
"If I remember correctly, there should be two Kerry prisoners coming in the Isle Island Prison. When this matter is over, I will find a way to ask them about the Kerry and the Inhuman."
He lowered his head and looked at the obelisk. After thinking about it, he simply took out the pages of the Dark God Book again.
He had a more convenient way to open the obelisk than to find the illusory, cemetery located in the Atlantic Ocean.
Merlin wrote on parchment:
"I took over the task just now. Do you tell me how to open the obelisk in this laboratory without destroying the integrity of the obelisk. Will it be a deal?"
A few seconds later, with the cold energy returning to Merlin's right arm, a word also appeared on the parchment in front of him.
Chapter completed!
