41. The trouble left by the hive (Part 2)
Andrew Garner and Merlin knew him, and he was quite familiar with him. Because he was theoretically one of the employees of SHIELD.
He is currently an external psychologist who is hired by S.d.o.l.d., and leads a very professional team every quarter to provide psychological counseling and evaluation of all field agents of S.d.o.l.d.
Once Dr. Andrew believes that a field agent is no longer suitable for field work for various reasons, the agent will passively enter the observation period, and after confirming that he or she is transferred to civilian work.
It is a very powerful job and important, but Merlin has always trusted Dr. Andrew.
On the one hand, this doctor is indeed very professional and dedicated.
On the other hand, it is also because of his identity... it is quite special.
He is the husband of Melinda May, a 7th-level agent commander of SHIELD.
Melinda is an old agent of s.d.o.l.d. and one of the "three generals" who first formed s.d.o.l.d. from scratch with Merlin.
In the current S.H.E.L.D. management system for supernatural affairs, Melinda is a very important node. As the leader of the 12 branches currently distributed in North America, her importance is self-evident.
She is Merlin's most trusted and reassuring subordinate. Because of this, Dr. Andrew Garner was also placed on the protection list of SHIELD.
"I can only recommend him for you."
In the office of the Trident Building, Merlin said to Medusa and the Black Bat King who had put on a long skirt and suit:
"I won't get involved in this too much, because Dr. Andrew's identity is more sensitive, and I have to stay away from it. I can understand your idea of saving your loved ones, but I don't allow you to force him into a foreigner."
"I mean, no matter what the choice of Lord Andrew, you can't force him!"
Merlin looked at Medusa and the Black Bat King, and he stretched out a finger and said with a serious expression:
"Note, this is not a request!"
"I can understand."
Queen Medusa glanced at her husband, and she solemnly and seriously replied to Merlin:
"We promise in the name of the Inhuman Dynasty that we will never make any forced moves."
"Yeah, very good."
Merlin reached out and pressed the phone on the table, and he said:
"Sharon, you can invite Melinda and her husband in."
A moment later, the door of Merlin's office was pushed open. Agent Melinda, who maintained his usual cold expression, nodded slightly to Merlin, and then turned around to look at the other two people in the office.
Melinda is an excellent and powerful witch hunter, and she can sense the power contained in these two people in front of her.
They are not ordinary people, nor are they aliens, but they are much more dangerous than most aliens.
Dr. Andrew Garner followed his wife, and he stretched out his hand to Merlin very friendly. This doctor is a real senior intellectual, a real social elite, and a polite attitude to anyone.
Well, it's really different from his black compatriots at the bottom of society.
Merlin likes to deal with such polite people, he stands up and holds Dr. Andrew's hand stretched out, and he says:
"In the past, I would have assigned Melinda tasks, but today's situation is special... I mean, today's things are mainly about you, Dr. Andrew."
"Um?"
The psychology doctor looked at his wife in surprise, and said to Merlin in a gentle tone:
"From your expression, Director Merlin, I guess, it shouldn't be a good thing?"
"Uh, it depends on how you understand."
Merlin shrugged, he gave Melinda a look that made her feel at ease, and said to Andrew:
"I remember complaining to me when I went to your wedding last time, saying that husbands should protect their wives, not let their wives protect their husbands in turn... I mean, if you make a choice, then you have the power to protect Melinda."
Merlin pointed to the two people standing by the sofa and said:
"These two are His Majesty Blackcad Bertgang, the Inhuman King from Atiran, and Queen Medusaris Amaqueline Portagan, who are here for you."
"Inhuman?"
Before Andrew could speak, Melinda's expression changed suddenly.
Unlike Andrew, as a senior agent, she knew very well the relationship between Inhuman and Humanity. She almost immediately understood why Merlin wanted to summon her and her husband.
"no!"
Melinda slapped the director's desk and protected her husband behind her. She said to Merlin in a fierce tone:
"I don't agree!"
"Melinda, listen to them first, this is polite."
Although Dr. Andrew didn't understand what was going on, he didn't want to see his wife having a conflict with her boss. He reached out and placed his hand on his wife's shoulder and mediated softly:
"I believe Director Merlin won't force me to do anything."
"right."
Merlin said to his subordinates:
"Don't worry, Melinda, I can assure you that the choice will always be in Andrew's hands."
"I'll answer for him!"
Melinda was very strong and said without any hesitation:
"Just disagree!"
"All right."
Merlin shrugged, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and then said to the four people in the office:
"Now time is left to you. I will not interfere with what will happen next. I also hope that the two of you can abide by our agreement. I don't want me to see a building shattered by sound waves when I come back..."
After saying that, he patted Melinda on the shoulder behind him and whispered:
"This is about saving an innocent little girl... Melinda, your husband has the ability to save her. Of course, this is just a choice, I said, the choice has always been in Andrew's hands. If he is not willing to take risks, I can assure you that no one can disturb your life as before."
"You shouldn't have let us come!"
Melinda glanced at her boss and she complained:
"You should just refuse them!"
"But you know your husband's character better than me. He is a real good man and a kind man."
Merlin said:
"If one day he knows that he has the opportunity to save a life that is about to die, but he is stopped by you or me without knowing it... What do you think the result will be? After all, there should be no concealment between husband and wife."
Melinda's expression became silent, and Merlin softly persuaded:
"What's more, you've also seen statistics on the frequency of supernatural events, and you should know that no matter how hard we try to stop it, it will always come in that bad era."
"In that coming era, having the power to protect oneself and one's loved ones...maybe it's not a bad thing. Andrew is already lucky than most people, at least in the face of a possible terrifying disaster, he still has the ability to fight against it."
"Believe me, Melinda, this may be a good thing..."
——————————
"Swish"
A conversation was still in Merlin's office, but the owner of the office had already arrived at another place.
A place thousands of miles away.
An old friend was already waiting for him as he emerged from the twisted light of the Spell.
She still wore a white hunting suit, brown breeches and orange-red boots, and a white-haired swordsman, who was carrying a long sword, seemed to have been waiting for a while. She was even bored to stand by the cliff and fish with a wooden stick.
"Have anyone ever told you that your figure is really good, maybe you should change into a more feminine outfit."
Merlin walked to Chilia and said:
"Like a skirt or something."
"oh?"
There was a scar on his face and the cool-looking Cialia said expressionlessly:
"So you're teasing me? Are you living impatient?"
"No, no, no, just praise."
Merlin said:
"For good women, the necessary appreciation is a virtue... not to mention that praise does not cost money."
"You will die when Elsa hears it."
Chilia showed a strange smile:
"But... let's just praise it."
She threw away the fishing rod in her hand, and as the white light jumped, she appeared more than ten meters away from Meilin, then reached out to hold the hilt of the sword behind her, and she hooked her finger at Meilin:
"Come on a fight!"
"Why?"
Merlin said in surprise:
"I didn't mess with you, did I?"
"No, no, I just saw you defeating those three aliens alone and defeating the Black Bat King, so I think you may have grown to the point where you can become my opponent."
Chilia slowly pulled out the sword behind her, she said:
"And Elsa asked me for something, some thin-skinned man was embarrassed to ask me for help... You want to collect metal onions buried deep in the crust of the dead world, right?"
"right."
Merlin nodded.
"Then let's fight me."
Chilia was moving her wrists, and a white light was jumping on her sword blade. It was the power of the elder blood in Chilia's body. It manipulated space and teared space, and was one of the most superior power elements among all the talented powers among the stars.
Compared with Cialia, Merlin's so-called talent is not worth mentioning at all.
"I really want to fight?"
Merlin moved his fingers, and as the purple lightning bouncing, the golden Skati warhammer hangs outside Merlin's palm, and the black symbiosis on his body also covered him in a squirming manner, and the power of the Three Palace Demon was also awakened.
Tripartite...
It seems that Merlin knows the difference between him and Cialia very well, and he will use the bottom-up tactic from the beginning.
"I really want to fight!"
Chilia moved her wrists, and the light on the blade kept cutting the space. She reached out and plucked a strand of white hair on her forehead. She stared at Merlin with her green eyes, and then said frivolously:
"You can't beat me, that's for sure, but if you persist for a long time, you are a thin-skinned man, if you let me have fun, my sister will give you some rewards..."
"All right."
Merlin held the Scarty Warhammer and, in the pulsation of purple lightning, he entered the tricentral form again.
The tall armed demon appeared before Chilia, who was like a doll, and Merlin sprayed flames from his nostrils. He was like a demon, and said to Chilia in a muffled voice:
"Say it first...Don't slap in the face..."
"He appears so handsome, but he says such a cowardly."
Chilia sneered, and as the white arc of light jumped, she pulled out hundreds of figures in the air, and a powerful sword dance splashed out.
"You can always make me look at you with admiration... last longer, man, let me have some fun in you!"
7 minutes later, Cialia returned to the sword and returned to the sheath. Her face turned rosy, and she seemed to be enjoying the previous battle.
Behind her, Meilin, who was half kneeling on the ground, was withering his face, trying his best to soothe the power of the riot in his body. At his feet, the miserable symbiosis Beowulf had no strength to make a gurgling sound.
It's like being completely drained.
"Yeah, 7 minutes..."
Chilia looked back at Merlin, and she hugged her arms and said:
"It's not bad, it's beyond my expectations. I thought you couldn't even hold on for 3 minutes."
"Exceeded awards and more awards."
Merlin reached out and picked up the limp Beowulf, he said:
"Also, as a girl, can you not speak so lustfully? Emotions... are easily thought of by mistake."
"hehe"
Chilia made a sarcastic voice, but she did not say anything else, but reached out to Merlin:
"Where is the thing? Give it to me. The next time you go to see Elsa, I will give you half a planet's metal onion, but I advise you to be careful and control the strange thing close to the rule level, which is not that simple."
"All right."
Merlin accepted the warning and put his hands in his pocket. The next moment, a large metal cabinet was placed beside the two of them, where black stones were stored.
"I haven't figured it out yet, what do you want this thing?"
Merlin said:
"It just opens the key to a desolate world..."
"Haha, stupid!"
Chilia gently stroked her fingers on the metal cabinet, and the cabinet disappeared. She flicked her white hair and said to Merlin:
"This thing is more important than you think... I heard that you SHIELD are also collecting some things that you can't understand? Do you call it the 084 item?"
"right."
Merlin nodded.
"Very good. This black stone that can open doors to different dimensions in the same time and space is an upgraded item for item 084. This is also one of our daily tasks."
Chilia explained:
"It may also be your future work. In short, you just need to understand that these things cannot be controlled by ordinary people."
"Uh, OK."
Merlin didn't plan to ask more. He was not ready to contact the mysterious organization behind Cialia, but before Cialia left, Merlin asked:
"About that desolate world... can you give me a key to get back and forth?"
"Um?"
Chilia looked at Merlin in confusion and asked:
"What do you want that thing? You took out the metal onium in that world. Although Elsa bridged it with glaciers, it was already very unstable and worthless."
“No, it has.”
Merlin flicked her finger and said seriously:
"Don't you think that for some superpower villains..."
