"I heard you came back with a baby last night?"

The next morning, outside Merlin's room, Fury, who was dissatisfied, was standing there. In front of him, Merlin, who had just finished washing and was about to have a meal.

"You have to call me first, Merlin!"

Fury said in a tone of scolding his subordinates:

"Sir Carter lives in this hotel, and it is now in a third-level alert. You can't just bring a stranger back without even asking!"

Merlin glanced at him and said:

"First of all, I reported at the front desk, and your subordinates did not stop me."

"Secondly, that's just a 12-year-old child, do you agents see who are enemies? What can a child do under the noses of dozens of agents with guns?"

"Finally, can we say while eating? I'm very hungry now and get angry early in the morning. Aren't you hungry?"

Merlin's words made Fury's forehead wrinkle at a speed visible to the naked eye. He stared at Merlin fiercely, and he said:

"You should be glad you have not officially joined the company yet! Otherwise, you should stay in the confinement room now! The Strategic Science Legion is a militarized organization, so you'd better change your overly free style in advance."

As he spoke, Fury touched his stomach, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around:

"Go and have a meal."

Merlin shrugged, followed Fury and walked down the stairs.

A few minutes later, the two sat in the corner of the restaurant, talking while eating a pretty good breakfast.

"Well, today's soup is good."

Fury took the spoon and drank the soup, sighed and said to Merlin:

"How is it? Have you considered it? Are you going to join us?"

"It's almost done."

Merlin bit the fruit and he looked up and said:

"What should I do? Submit a resume? Or write an application?"

"You have to do nothing."

Fury slowly drank the soup, and he explained:

"The Strategic Science Legion has a complete new process. You originally had to wait for a 1-2 year inspection period to review and train you, but in recent times, our institutions are seeking transformation. Now more than 50 years have passed since the end of World War II, and the former Soviet Union officially disintegrated last year and the Cold War was completely over. Some wartime systems are no longer applicable to future eras."

"So, you're lucky. You don't need to wait that long, because of the recommendation of Director Peggy Carter, you only need to go to the Secret Service Academy for 5-8 months of study and training. Of course, social relations review is inevitable. So if you hide something special, it's best to say it now."

"I told Ms. Carter everything."

Merlin said:

"Do you want me to repeat it again? You know my situation is special."

"Oh, you still don't understand."

Fury sighed, and he explained to Merlin:

"Ms. Carter is a senior agent. She has a lot more qualifications than me. I can't just ask her directly because of your affairs. And Ms. Carter is already semi-retired. She has stopped interfering in administrative affairs since a few months ago, so it's one thing you tell her. For the agency itself, we need to issue a complete report."

He stared at Merlin and said:

"To be honest, I'm also very curious. You have to know that the Strategic Science Legion has the authority to investigate national citizen archives. I've searched your archives but no! Your first 18 years are like a piece of white paper, and there is no record at all, so I'm very curious, how did you do it? Did you live in the wilderness before you were 18 years old and never entered this society?"

"I said, my matter is quite complicated."

Merlin doesn't want to discuss this issue much, he said:

"If Ms. Carter didn't tell you this, it means that she also thinks these things are not important. So don't ask anymore. If you have to issue a report, you can just make up for it yourself. I don't mind."

“But what if I’m curious?”

Fury picked up the gum on hand and gave it to Merlin, he said:

"What if I want to know? Not as a senior agent, but as Nick Fury, would you tell me?"

"magic."

Merlin briefly said:

"It was magic that caused all this, it was magic that erased my life for 18 years before, and it was also damn magic that made me. Just know this."

"really"

Fury shook his head, he no longer struggled with this issue.

Merlin was recommended by Ms. Carter himself, as Merlin said, if Ms. Carter thinks that Merlin's gap in the past 18 years is not a problem, then it is really not a problem.

Don't underestimate the power and majesty of a leader who has led an intelligence organization for more than 50 years. In the current strategic science legion, Ms. Carter may not be able to cover up the sky, but it is almost the same. The decision she made was that even Fury's commander, Alexander Pierce, who was about to take over as the leader, dared not question it.

After all, that's a living legend.

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Fury chewed the gum and said to Merlin:

"Are there any other requirements? Tell them all."

"Let me think about it."

Merlin rubbed her forehead, and after a moment, he said:

"That child, he saved my life that night, but unfortunately lost his father, so I hope you can help me properly settle him. Find a good family in New York and help him with the local admission procedures."

"Can."

Fury did not refuse. In fact, three hours after the child entered the hotel, all the information of the child was sent to his house.

The child's father might be engaged in some illegal things, but the child was not threatening. And without Merlin's words, Fury would also put the child under his nose. He did not forget the strange female warrior holding a spear that night. Maybe the child was related to the female warrior.

"Then, I hope you can find someone for me."

Merlin said a little hesitantly:

"My real name is Merlin Riley. As far as I know, there are only two people left in the Riley family. In addition to me, there is one of my cousins, who lives in Queens, New York. That is my remaining, well, the only relative who has blood connections."

Merlin looked at Fury, pointed to his head, and said:

"The more troublesome thing is that for some special reasons, my cousin completely forgot my existence. I hope you can help me use some official means to make her "remember" me again."

"Well, there's no big problem."

Fury looked at the watch on his wrist and asked:

"What's your cousin's name?"

Merlin said:

"My, her name is Mei Riley. She just got married a few years ago, and her husband is Ben Parker."

"Okay, leave it to us."

Fury stood up and tidied his clothes. He glanced at Merlin, and his expression suddenly became weird. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Merlin:

"You're bleeding after rubbing it."

"Um?"

—

On the other hand, in an unknown place, something closely related to Merlin is happening.

This place looks like a warehouse, with some heavy containers piled around it, and there were faint lights on the top, but the light did not really make the place brighter. Instead, because the lights were too dispersed, it made the place look darker and darker.

More than a dozen people were standing in the warehouse, with people dressed in all kinds of dresses, from well-dressed upper-class figures to workers in uniforms, and some bigwigs who looked scattered with patterns on their shoulders, exuding arrogance.

This should have been a completely different circle, but at this time, these people stood here and got along well. It was as if they were from the same place.

"Clang"

With the sound of the warehouse door being pushed open, everyone who was chatting in a low voice turned back to the entrance.

An old-fashioned car was parked at the door of the warehouse. The bodyguard opened the door and a big man walked out of the car. He was wearing a white suit, a bow tie, and clasped the outer cloak with both hands. He walked into the warehouse with steady steps, and in his sharp eyes, he was wearing a pair of weird glasses.

That style is not like the popular style now, but like the glasses, black and small round frames worn by intellectuals of the previous era.

His hair was neatly combed, but he already had white hair. His face was cold and looked like a Germanic character. In short, this man was out of place with everything around him.

It's like it doesn't belong to this era at all.

Seeing the boss walking into the warehouse, a man like the person in charge came up quickly. He nodded to the silent boss, then led the way forward, and introduced the situation by the way:

"Our people found him at a sewage treatment plant on the outskirts of Auckland. He was washed out by sewage. At that time, his condition was very bad, almost like he was blown up. It was really hard to imagine that he could escape even if he was injured."

"Well, don't underestimate these lives called 'super soldiers'."

The boss in a white suit nodded and said softly:

"Super Soldier Serum is indeed one of the greatest inventions of the last era. In my opinion, it is even greater than the atomic bomb. The latter can only bring destruction, while the former can bring rebirth. A self-evolution, the future prospect of mankind. But they use it for war, which is really short-sighted."

“Yes, yes.”

The local person in charge submissively agreed with the boss's statement, even though he himself believed that the super soldier serum itself was the best weapon. But in front of the boss, his thoughts and will were not important.

"Your Excellency hopes that you can use some 'technology' to help him recover. After all, at the current point in time, he is the most indispensable warrior in our organization."

"Your Mightiness?"

The big guy in the white suit snorted disdainfully:

"50 years have passed, and they are still playing this ancient hidden game. They are really addicted to being mice. It's ridiculous that I'll see him first!"

"As for orders, sir, please follow me."

The person in charge leaned over to salute, but the boss seemed very dissatisfied with the title, and he said:

"Call me Daniel. Don't pick up the things that should be thrown into the garbage dump."

"Okay, Mr. Daniel."

After saying that, the person in charge waved his hand, and the others in the warehouse immediately turned around and left, guarding outside the warehouse. The boss named Daniel was taken to a container. The person in charge personally opened the door of the container, and a cold air visible to the naked eye escaped from it.

It overflowed together, and there was a pungent smell of blood.

Daniel took out his handkerchief, covered his nose, and walked forward a few steps.

With the light in the container, he saw the frozen life in front of him, which was hard to call him a human being.

Most of his abdomen were torn apart, his left leg had completely disappeared, and only one-third of his right leg was left. In the wound on the abdomen, some of the internal organs were clearly seen missing, and there were broken bones on his chest. Most of his face had lost their skin, and even gloomy white bones could be seen.

His right arm was completely lost, but judging from the smooth wound, it should not have been damaged in a recent explosion.

And under the light, his identity could be vaguely seen on the remaining face.

This is a winter warrior!

It is hard to imagine that he actually survived the death explosion caused by the Wakanda warriors.

However, the winter soldier in this state is definitely worse than death now. Merlin's dark magic and Wakanda's explosion technology almost sent him to hell. But even to this level, he could still see his chest beating faintly in the cover of frost.

He is still alive, like a wild beast who is struggling to survive, living with all his might.

“He has been healing himself.”

The local person in charge stood beside Daniel and said to the boss:

"The super soldier's self-healing ability is amazing, but to be honest, such a serious injury has exceeded the limit he can bear. Without the help of external forces, he may never be able to recover. We can only seal him up by freezing."

"Well, it's a bit tricky."

Daniel reached out and touched the bloody wound of the Winter Soldier, saying:

"Even the self-healing serum extracted from the blood of the alien, it is difficult to take effect on such serious injuries. I will do my best, but when you go back, tell me, I am not sure, and even if he can heal in the end, it will be difficult to recover from his heyday. However, some biochemical technology measures can be used, just in time, I saw a very creative plan a few days ago."

"It's very feasible and very consistent with the current situation of the Winter Soldier."

The boss took a step back, he hooked his finger, and the bodyguard behind him handed a piece of information to him. He handed the information to the person in charge around him and said to him:

"Take this information back and let him see it."

"I'll take the Winter Soldier away first. His current situation is not suitable for staying here."

"Yeah, OK."

The person in charge waved goodbye to Daniel. He directed several people to deliver the container out of the warehouse, where a heavy truck was waiting.

The person in charge himself returned to his office and took out the information that Daniel gave him, with a line of big words written on the cover.
Chapter completed!
