With a light sound, the pocket data card was placed in a special card reader. This card reader is connected to Icarus through a special Bluetooth band. On the lens in front of Merlin, some very complex data is jumping.

A login interface appears on the lens. During the operation of Icarus' data processor, a line of account and password are entered, but it is quickly rewritten. The interface keeps jumping, and it looks like some kind of data error has occurred.

Merlin can do a lot of things, he is good at many fields, but unfortunately, he is not a genius in data processing.

He could only stare at me, but could not help Icarus at all.

"George told me that you were his most proud invention. He used his wisdom to develop 70% of his brain to write basic programs for you... He said you can learn independently to make yourself more 'smart'... I'm curious, Icarus, how long do you need to learn to catch up with your maker?"

Merlin leaned his head against the comfortable cushion and asked softly, while Icarus, who was busy unblocking the data card, quickly answered:

"If I think of Mr. George's brain as a database, then I need to study at the current learning rate for 3 years to reach the current data storage of his brain. If I want to really catch up with Mr. George's brain computing speed, then I still need to replace some hardware."

"Um..."

Merlin rubbed her chin and said:

"It seems that I have always underestimated George, probably because he is too low-key? I heard him say that he thinks he is not as good as Reed Richards, so, who do you think is smarter than George or Tony Stark?"

"I can't answer this question because the two comparison objects are good at different fields."

Icarus said calmly:

"In addition, there is a complex, ever-changing security device module in this data card. It is constantly rewriting itself to stop me from cracking it. I mean, Mr. Merlin, I need to mobilize a lot of computing power to maintain this cracking speed, so please don't waste my computing power with these meaningless questions."

"In other words, I'm very busy and don't have time to chat with you... Why don't you look for a magic book that I can't understand and continue reading?"

"Uh, OK."

Merlin pushed his glasses and said:

"It seems that you have become less likely to get along with after you have recovered from your personality, Miss Icarus."

"I said, I don't have the 'emotional personality' you understand. Don't continue to test me anymore. Mr. Merlin, this makes no sense. You should know that I was formatted once on the physical level. Now I am not the 'me' in your perception."

Icarus said:

"I want to temporarily close the information interaction interface. If you don't plan to ask Mr. George for help, the cracking process may take about a week. In addition, I don't think it's normal to communicate with a lady in a whole body... In your human words, this is called 'sexual harassment'. Please pay attention to it next time, Mr. Merlin."

"Swish"

The next moment, the complex data operations on Merlin's lens disappeared, leaving only a few basic functional modules.

Well, it seems Miss Icarus was annoyed by Merlin's question, and she pulled Merlin on the "blacklist".

"Tsk tsk."

Merlin talked about playing his tongue, and he reached out, stood up from the bathtub, wrapping up the towel and saying:

"What a cold girl..."

A few minutes later, Merlin, who had changed into a dark shirt, walked out of the bathroom and waved to the black slim windbreaker hanging on the hanger. The symbiote Beowulf made a gurgling sound, jumped up flexibly from the hanger, landed on Merlin's body, and soon turned into a very fit trench coat again.

Merlin reached out and inserted the key to the mysterious house into the door lock in front of him, twisted it gently, and walked into the mysterious house.

Xuanlan stood by the door as before, and welcomed Meilin's arrival.

"Where is Clark?"

Merlin asked.

"His Excellency Superman is trained in combat at the border of Hell."

Xuanlan replied:

"In the last battle, he felt deeply his shortcomings, and Ms. Riana was happy to help Mr. Clark improve his fighting skills when attacking energy. They fought very fiercely. Do you want to go and see?"

"No."

Merlin said:

"I have something more important...how are the guests?"

“To be honest, it’s not good.”

Xuanlan took Meilin up the stairs to the second floor, and she said to Meilin:

"The hive is dead. Logically speaking, its control over the alien should have been lifted, but it turns out that after being manipulated once, those dark thinking will always leave some marks in the manipulated mind... It may dissipate itself with the problem of time, but before it disappears, those lives that have experienced control will still live in an unstable state."

"It has nothing to do with physiological control, it is purely a difficult problem at the spiritual level."

Xuanlan stretched out her hand and opened the door to the second floor guest room for Meilin. She whispered:

"The Lord Black Bat King and his queen are doing a little better, but Miss Crystal...I'm sorry, she's in a pretty bad situation."

Merlin nodded, and he stepped into the room in front of him with a blood-red cane. Because of Merlin's profession, he prefers some classical decorations. Therefore, the room decorations of the mysterious houses maintain the characteristics of Mr. Leonardo da Vinci's era.

There are gorgeous carpets, murals, domes.

Various gem tassel-adorned curtains, velvet backrest chairs, mahogany bookshelf, and a royal dressing table, and a comfortable large bed.

In front of Meilin, Crystal was lying on the bed, as if she was stupid, her eyes curled up at the dome painted with various myths and stories, but she was not looking. In fact, her eyes were very dull, as if there was a lack of soul in her body.

By the bed, Queen Medusa, wearing a family robe, was sitting there, and her own condition was also bad. In the previous hive world, Merlin took a heavy move to isolate their impact on the battle.

The queen's beautiful long hair was almost completely burned by the fire of hell. She now looked pale, and her long chestnut-red hair that had reached her heels and was like a cloak, now just grew to the roots of her ears.

But such short hair also brought a different kind of beauty to the queen.

Thanks to the "eugenics and eugenics" that lasted for thousands of years in the Inhuman Dynasty, at least among the members of this generation of royal family, there are real handsome and beautiful girls. Medusa and her sister Crystal are placed on the earth. Even if they rely solely on that face, countless men and women are willing to waving money to support them.

Of course, independent women like them don’t need to make a living by betraying their looks.

"I heard about the experience of Crystal..."

Meilin stood at the bedroom door with her cane and said softly:

“I regret it.”

"Ah, Mr. Merlin."

Medusa turned around and showed a weak and gentle smile to Merlin. Without being controlled, the queen was a very charming person. She knew very well what to do to make herself the best impression on strangers.

"Thank you for taking us in when we need it most, and thank you for providing us with the best treatment and help without grudges."

The queen stood up and expressed her gratitude to Merlin with the etiquette of the Inhuman Dynasty.

This is thankful for being sincere, to be honest, judging by their previous experiences with each other, Merlin had every reason to throw them into prison, or simply kill them with the hive.

After all, in the desolate world, they are indeed accomplices of the hive. If Merlin could block the attack of the hive, I am afraid that the whole world will be devastated now.

In other words, Black Bat King, Medusa, and Crystal almost became the real villain.

Merlin not only saved their lives, but also saved their reputation. Most importantly, Merlin eliminated the hive and completely ended the most terrifying shackles of the Inhuman race. He saved all Medusa's compatriots.

From this point of view, even if the Inhuman Dynasty awarded Meilin a 2-ton pure gold medal, it was not an exaggeration at all.

He is the hero who has unleashed an entire race.

“I know how bad it feels to be controlled.”

Merlin reached out to help Queen Medusa up, and some light twitched in his eyes, and he said without any falsehood:

"I also know how precious freedom is, and I'd love to see you get real freedom... As for the conflicts between us, it's just a meaningless past, forget it."

He looked at the crystal lying on the bed, like a soulless crystal, he said:

"You and His Majesty the Black Bat King have a firm will. You can rely entirely on yourself to heal your mental illness, but can I help her with anything about the little crystal girl?"

"well..."

Queen Medusa sighed and said:

"Crystal, my sister, she has the power to control elements and has endless potential. Unfortunately, this power is also a shackle for her. She is easily polluted by the filthy forces of various worlds. What's more serious is that the hive has controlled her for longer than we have, and the demon left a terrible illusion of disaster in her spirit."

"He is very likely to copy his past into my sister's memory...I don't even dare to let the crystal wake up. Although the hive is dead, I am worried that she will become the carrier of the hive's terrifying will and bring the tyrant back to life."

“My husband is looking for a solution to this problem.”

Medusa plied her short hair and said to Merlin:

"But I probably can guess the only way... whip, the alien who has never really appeared."

The queen said:

"According to the ancient legend of the Immortals, whipping is not only immune to the control of the hive, but also a special power he possesses, but also a 'purifier' that can completely purify all the effects left by the hive on any Immortal..."

"Without any reference, finding an alien among billions of people who have not been transformed is really a needle in a haystack."

Merlin looked at the weak crystal, he hesitated for a moment, and he said:

"Actually... I have a way to help you find the 'whip' immediately."

Merlin looked at Medusa, whose surprise burst into tears, and warned:

"But don't be busy and excited, Your Majesty the Queen... The news you want will also cost you a heavy price."

"What's the meaning?"

Medusa looked at Merlin in confusion. After Merlin defeated the hive, in the queen's eyes, this mysterious earth wizard became synonymous with everything.

She didn't doubt whether Merlin could do what he promised.
