There is a saying circulating in the wizarding world that no matter how experienced a thief is, he is not as good as a lock-opening spell.

The translation means probably "the wizard is the most powerful" and "only magic can deal with magic."

Although it has some ridiculous meaning, this sentence obviously makes sense. When you encounter troubles of blocking the road, it is much more useful to find professionals to help you than to do it yourself.

Now Merlin wants to rescue a child from a guy who can jump freely in space, the best way is to find another helper who can jump without space.

It is rare for people to have such abilities, but fortunately, Merlin happened to know one.

"Swish"

Three seconds after hanging up the phone, accompanied by the blue light, Gordon, the Inhuman, appeared in the basement where Merlin was.

He still had the same dress that lasted for thousands of years, with a brown jacket, a black shirt, khaki pants and a pair of clean leather shoes.

He walked out of the light with his hands behind his back. Although there was no expression on his face without eyes, Merlin could feel that this guy should be in a good mood. Perhaps because his recent cooperation with S.d.o.l.d. has been very smooth. In a few months, the two organizations have joined forces to save more than 100 aliens.

This efficiency is much better than the previous organizational fighting alone in the next life.

"What are you looking for me?"

Gordon asked in a cold tone.

Merlin knew that this cold tone represented Gordon's dissatisfaction with him, because Merlin turned his beloved adoptive mother into an ordinary woman who cared for her husband and children without his permission.

"I'll ask for your help."

Merlin didn't have much greetings. He played with this exquisite little demon sculpture in his hand and said to Gordon:

"There is a mutant who can travel through space as freely as you, kidnapped an innocent little girl, and I was chasing it, but that guy was too fast to catch up with it."

Merlin looked at Gordon:

"What do you recommend?"

"suggestion?"

Gordon snorted:

"You can set a trap, but I doubt it might not be so stupid to step in. The only way to chase the space jumper is to be faster than it. Maybe I can try it, but the question is, why should I help you? Merlin."

“Because we are friends?”

Merlin deliberately said in an uncertain tone:

"Because I helped you before? Because you are a kind person?"

Gordon's brow frowned. He knew Merlin was squeezing him in words, but he could not refute.

"Okay, I'll help you."

Gordon said a little unhappy:

"But you have to tell me where that guy is? I can track its space jump point, but on the first contact, I have to have enough time to ‘remember’ the energy frequency of its jump space."

“How long does it take?”

Merlin asked.

"3-5 seconds."

Gordon said:

"It is not that simple to identify the energy frequency of a particular space jump."

"I'll create opportunities for you!"

Merlin stood up straight, he moved his wrists, looked at the address information that was quickly refreshed on the parchment, and he said to Gordon:

"Follow me closely."

"Swish"

The next moment, the Spell of Movement was activated. According to the address information given by the Dark Book, Merlin instantly came from the basement of Detroit Street to a farm outside Toronto.

The moment he appeared from the twisted light, the red devil in front of him grabbed the screaming Lorna and jumped away from the hiding place again.

Before leaving, the bastard turned his head and looked at Merlin. There was an undisguised sarcasm on his ugly face that looked extremely similar to a demon, and it was provoking Merlin.

"Bang"

The shadow flying knife that Merlin threw out hit the farm wall with a slight difference.

"Yeah, it's almost."

Gordon next to Merlin said:

"It's really fast. You have to help me limit it, or just chase him like this. After about 2-3 times, I can remember how often he breaks through space."

"You'd better get faster."

Merlin picked up the parchment again and glanced at the address refreshed on it, which was on a coast in California.

This crosses most of North America, which is a great burden for Merlin. The longer the distance she has to cross, the greater the magic power Merlin has to consume and the pressure he has to carry. Computer terminal::/

He took a deep breath and activated the movement spell again.

As the light shifted, Merlin saw the red devil Asazo who was leisurely waiting for him on the coast.

The moment Merlin jumped out of space, he shook his hand and threw out the Shadow Flying Knife, trying to hit the Red Devil, but Asazo faced the coming Shadow Flying Knife, the demon mutant sneered, held Lorna's hand, and once again jumped out of place in the flash of red light.

This bastard

It is playing with Merlin in this way.

"Furo"

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his forehead to relieve the stinging eyebrows. The bad consequences of using the shapeshift spell multiple times in a short period of time are emerging.

"continue!"

Gordon appeared behind him, and the tone of Inhuman was very serious, he said:

"It's almost parsed."

"Let me breathe a sigh of relief."

Merlin said, then picked up the parchment paper, and updated the address marked on it to the heart of the Brazilian plains in South America, which was a farther distance than this jump.

"Can't you chase it yourself?"

Merlin said:

"Your jump speed is comparable to it, right?"

"If it realizes that there is another space leader chasing it, it will definitely break the space more carefully, and the speed of parsing the jump frequency will be slower."

Gordon explained:

"In the process of blind pursuit, I may throw it away. I don't have the weird thing in your hand, and I can predict the place where the red devil will land."

"All right."

Merlin pulled out his wand. The pressure brought by casting a spell without a wand was too great. He needed the wand to help with such a long distance jump.

"Swish"

Merlin's figure disappeared again. This time when he appeared in a strange place, he stabbed him with a strange dagger.

Merlin saw the viciousness and cunning shining on the red devil's face. Obviously, this guy realized that Merlin could track him down, and he set up a trap and tried to sneak attack him!

But isn't this better?

Merlin didn't dodge and let the dagger pierce into his chest. The light feeling of the blade entering his body changed the face of the Red Devil. It immediately tried to jump away from Merlin, but the rising black mist wrapped it up at this moment.

"Swish"

Asazo's figure quickly jumped out of the fog-covered area and returned to the bound Lorna. It reached out and grabbed Lorna's arm and was about to jump away again.

But behind it, Merlin stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly.

"Bang"

Asazo's jumping movement became stiff at this moment.

Relying on the fog burst that moment just now, the fog on the red devil's wrists and legs made Merlin prepare for the puppet exercise. While his fingers were moving, Asazo was forcibly suppressed in place like a puppet.

"Swish"

Three shadow-flying swords shot out from Merlin's hand and tried to pierce the Red Devil's body.

But the latter immediately noticed the problem. The strong smell of sulfur exploded, and it used the magic power of the squirting out to knock out the mist on its body.

"puff"

A shadow flying knife stabbed into its abdomen. The moment the sharp blade entered the body, the solid energy flying knife quickly spread into black mist, like a jumping chain, trying to tie Asazo again.

But the Red Devil was faster this time, and even the entangled black fog could not keep up with its speed. As the red light jumped, Asazo and Lorna disappeared in front of Merlin.

"Catch it!"

Almost at the same time, Gordon's voice sounded, and a blue light shone behind Merlin.

This short few seconds of fighting finally left enough time for Gordon to analyze Asazo's jump frequency, and he "remembered" that frequency.
