"Why are you still here? Are you planning to stay here for lunch?"
Merlin frowned and looked at Clark Kent standing in front of him. His father, Old Jonathan, went out to pay the fine, but the young man was still standing in Merlin's office. Please search on Baidu-
He held the ib's document in his hand, and he frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Facing Merlin's inquiry, Clark thought for a moment, and he said to Merlin.
"You are different from everyone I met before."
"nonsense."
Merlin picked up another document waiting to be signed. While looking at the contents of the document, he picked up the cup of water and took a sip of tea. He said
"I am different from the 99 people in this world. What do you want to say? Mr. Clark, I mean, if you don't have anything important, can you leave my office? You stand here and will disturb my work ideas."
"They always want to find the secrets I have hidden, but you are not."
Not only did the young black-haired man not leave, he sat in the chair in front of Meilin. He said to Meilin
"You seem to be disdainful of my secret."
"I'm very busy, kid."
Merlin was born in 1971, and Clark arrived on Earth in 1980. He was nearly 10 years older than the superhuman in front of him. He was fully qualified to call Clark a "child".
Of course, Clark was not satisfied with the title, but he did not refute it.
"Everyone who works in our business knows that everyone in this world has secrets, but not all secrets need to be revealed."
Merlin looked at the document in his hand. It was a request from the logistics department to approve funds to build a storage room. He frowned and thought for a few seconds. He did not sign it, but threw the document aside.
This means that Merlin rejected the grant request.
He picked up the phone and said to the assistant Barbie agent on the other side
"Barbie, check the Logistics Department. To be precise, it is the cash flow of the Catering Department. I suspect there is corruption there."
After hanging up the phone, Merlin looked up and said to Clark Kent who was looking at him.
"And I said before, you are not as rare as you think, Clark. I have seen more aliens than women you have talked to. I am indeed interested in the things you hide, but that is just curiosity, pure curiosity, and cannot be the code of conduct for agents."
"Unless, you are willing to tell me?"
Merlin leaned on the chair, he glanced at the ghost base behind him, then took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, he said
"I can take a few minutes for you, and I still have a meeting to host later."
"No, I didn't intend to reveal my past, we were not familiar with that."
The young man Clark stood up and said to Merlin
"I just have something to tell you."
He pointed to his ear, he said
"I can hear a lot of things, but for the most part, I won't take the initiative to listen. A few days ago, at night, I accidentally heard something about you and your base, and I felt your kindness to us, so I think I should tell you about it."
"oh?"
Merlin said curiously
"What's related to this base? Then I'll listen carefully."
“There are a group of people.”
Clark says
"They are planning to break through the defense line of this base and release all the mutants you locked up. Their action will be tonight."
"Um."
Merlin nodded expressionlessly, he said
"Very good, thank you for the news."
"Aren't you worried?"
Looking at Merlin's calm expression, Clark said
"That group of people is unusual. I don't know much about mutants, but I heard that there seemed to be powerful mutant ginseng in the prison robbery operation, and some very dangerous guys."
“Isn’t this better?”
Merlin pushed his glasses, he said
"Waiting for them to fall into the trap is much easier than I worked hard to find them. Well, Mr. Clark, I'm going to have a meeting, maybe you can leave with me."
He stood up and said to the young black haired man
"I suggest you better go to New York as fast as possible, ib monitor and protect aliens living on Earth. With their intervention, the Sky Eye will no longer destroy your and your family's lives."
"Well, I'll think about it."
Clark said to Merlin
"Thank you again for saving my father. He is really stupid sometimes, but he is a really good father."
"He didn't answer my question just now."
Merlin and Clark walked out of the office together, he asked
"Why did Old Jonathan stop you from saving him?"
"My parents discovered my talent at a young age, but they did not alienate me."
Clark said softly
"When I was a child, I couldn't control my abilities well and caused them a lot of trouble. When I was in school, my ability was out of control, so I had to change schools almost every semester. I had no friends, but they were my best friends."
"My father is a sincere believer. He believes that my coming represents some revelation from the Lord. He believes that I am destined to do great things in my life. Before my destiny comes, I must conceal my uniqueness and I must prepare for that destiny moment."
"He hopes I can be a hero, just like Captain America Steve Rogers, and he hopes I can fight for the good things in everyone's hearts."
Speaking of this, Clark smiled, he said
"I hope I can integrate into the earth, treat it as my home, and live with my family and fellow citizens. He doesn't want them to reject me. This kind of thing happened often when I was a child. Those children and teachers, they will alienate me, they don't understand me, they are afraid of me, even if I help them, even if I save them."
"Do you hate them?"
Merlin asked suddenly
"Will you hate those who slander you, those who alienate you?"
"How could it be?"
Clark shrugged, he said
"I'm not a lunatic or pervert. I won't beat them just because others insult me. I can understand them. It's normal for people to subconsciously reject things they don't understand."
"It seems that I said it wrong."
Merlin looked at Clark Kent next to him seriously, he said
"Your parents taught you very well, kids. Go home now."
He looked at the time and said to Clark
"After the security testing of ib is over, I can talk to you about another thing if you are interested."
"What's up?"
Clark, who was dressed like a farmer, looked back at Merlin, who had his hands in his pockets and said to him
"Didn't your father want you to be a hero like Captain America?"
"I can give you this opportunity"
—
It was night, almost in the early morning, the entire ghost base was quiet, and 30 minutes had passed since the lights were turned off. The mutant prisoners who were noisy had already rested now.
But in Merlin's office, the lights were still on.
He was sitting alone in an office chair, holding a handkerchief and applying sword oil to his two swords in a very professional way.
The silver sword Vlad had been wiped cleanly. Under the light, its blade reflected a deadly cold light. The half sword of the vibrating golden hand was held in Merlin. The sword was several times heavier than Vlad, longer and wider, and it was very powerful when swung.
Just like all Merlin's weapons, this sword also had its own name after it fell into Merlin's hands.
Merlin called it Buster.
That is the Black Panther God in the mythology of Wakanda. It is perfect to use it to name this weapon from Wakanda.
Under the light, Mei Lin carefully wiped the blade, and on the table in front of him was a black gun in the style of a sniper rifle.
The Cybertron weapon module was given to Elsa, but Merlin also had alternatives. It was 2002 now. It has been 8 years since S.H.I.E.L.D. got the Kerry energy weapon sample. Scientists have completed the reverse reduction of that kind of energy weapon. The gun in front of Merlin is the most complete product they have made.
It has two shooting modes: bullet and ray. It deals with different occasions and looks no different from heavy sniper rifles, but its technological content is very high.
However, those functions such as automatic aiming, automatic locking, night vision and multi-target tracking are not very useful to Merlin. What he is interested in is the ultimate penetration and ultra-long range of the gun.
"Barbie, Tripp, how about it?"
Merlin put down the steel sword Buster, he asked in the communicator
"Is there any abnormality?"
"No, sir."
Agent Barbie answered
"Everything is normal outside the world, the drone has been released, but no valuable clues have been found."
"Continue to patrol the outside world."
Merlin connects Victor's vision flying in the sky, looking around the ghost base, he whispers
"Catch any suspicious guy first."
"receive!"
Barbie and Trip responded at the same time, and the communicator fell silent again.
Merlin carried two swords behind her back. He walked to the window with the black sniper rifle and looked down at the surroundings of the ghost base. Clark told him that an organization was going to penetrate the base's defense tonight. Although there was no evidence to support this news, Merlin decided to set up a trap in advance.
After most of the forces of the Mutant Brotherhood were destroyed, the guys who dared to provoke S.H.E.D. were either not normal in mind or were really confident in their own strength.
Be careful is always nothing wrong.
More than ten minutes later, Merlin was standing by the window like a statue. The glass that was smashed by Clark today has not been repaired, which just gave Merlin an excellent sniper position.
He was like the most patient hunter, standing by the window, waiting for possible enemies.
"Swish"
As Merlin was gaze, a ball of light appeared strangely outside the wall of the ghost base. A petite figure walked out of the light carelessly. It should be a girl.
Merlin didn't shoot immediately. He wanted to see what the girl was going to do.
Under Merlin's secret command, Barbie and Trip's team had already closed from two directions towards the place where the girl appeared.
In Merlin's gaze, the mutant girl, who was suspected of teleportation, took out a few weird things and threw them under the wall, like some instruments, and the same spots of light jumped under the wall, and one guy after another walked out of the light.
In just a few seconds, under the inner wall of the ghost base, more than a dozen fully armed guys had gathered.
“Clear the obstacles!”
A low voice sounded from a pair of weird armor. The girl who appeared first shrugged. She took out a weird thing from her backpack, and while entering parameters, she said to the people around her.
"Leave it to me. You know, I can hack anything and anyone."
As soon as the girl finished speaking confidently, a roar of rays hit her wrist accurately. In the stunning mode, the strong current attached to the rays paralyzed the girl in an instant. She screamed and fell to the ground with trembling whole body.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Seeing his compatriots fall to the ground, a guy wearing dark red leather armor, wearing a hood on his head and holding two knives suddenly made a nervous and sharp shout. He seemed to be frightened, and ran and screamed.
"This is a trap! Abandon the ship!"
At the highest point of the base, Merlin held a gun in both hands and shot three points, the guy running around was blown up in his head.
But what surprised Merlin was that the guy had no head and he could still jump around and run around.
Merlin narrowed her eyes and pulled the trigger at another woman who was also holding a sniper rifle and wearing a weird purple armor. The female sniper with weird goggles fired almost at the same time as Merlin. The bullet she shot pierced Merlin's forehead without causing any harm to Merlin.
The rays from Merlin's muzzle also hit her goggles, and the high-voltage electricity burst out, knocking this female sniper with a great figure to the ground.
"Catch them!"
"This monster-like self-healing power"
Merlin whispered while using her shooting to suppress the trapped thugs
"I seem to have heard of it somewhere"
"Wad Wilson?"
