30. Freedom comes

"Oh, the effort failed."
In a huge silver-gray building in the swamp, in a secret room, a guy sitting in a chair was sighing and looking at the monitor in front of him.
On the monitor screen, Merlin held Laura's hand and was strolling toward the building. No matter the guards holding weapons, the new mutants made, whether they were flying bullets or various strange abilities, they could not harm the invaders.
Even without using the super-level magic of the ancient body, Merlin's power cannot be underestimated. With his manipulation of magic, the magic shield around him can easily resist the shooting of large-caliber bullets.
After all, he is already a great wizard who has mastered two super-level magical magic, so he still needs to have the same qualities as he should have.
As for the guy sitting on the chair, he was dressed in a strange dark red robe, just like the legendary vampire lord in the medieval legend, but he was not a vampire.
He had flowing black hair, pale face, and a quirky diamond-shaped sign on his forehead. He was wearing coquettish, lace-edged gloves, and he leaned against a chair, looking at Merlin, who was showing off his might on the screen, and the agents who had already rushed into the building from the underground sewage outlet.
He shook his head and said softly:
"It's just a little bit short... Alas, I'm still too anxious, but who knows that Ms. Lingdie actually has such a thing as a past with the tricky Mr. Merlin?"
"Things of the world are messing with people."
The guy stood up from the chair, and he looked back and behind him, where there was a working instrument, like a treatment chamber.
And in the cylindrical treatment chamber, there was a naked girl lying all over, which was a clone, and her face was exactly the same as Grey Qin in the X-Men.
"My dear Miss Madeline."
The weird guy, with his hands on his back, looked at the clone in the experimental compartment, and he whispered:
"It seems we can only see you later, but it's okay. I've collected enough genetic fragments and I'll definitely make a perfect you, and you, you will fulfill my expectations."
He stretched out his hand, and a ball of energy flame fell on the working experimental cabin, wrapping the experimental cabin in an instant. The burning flames illuminated the mysterious guy's face. He narrowed his eyes and said:
"You and your future husband, your children, will bring me hope...the hope of ending the apocalypse completely."
"That won't be too long..."
After burning the clone that was about to be completed, the guy turned around and looked at Merlin in the surveillance screen. He curled his lips and said disdainfully:
"As for you, stupid, stubborn executors of justice, hehe, enjoy your victory."
"I will eventually save the world, whether you want it or not."
"Buzz"
As the teleportation light jumped, the guy disappeared strangely. After he disappeared, the secret room collapsed, as if it had been hit by the most violent explosion.
All traces left by this mysterious guy in the building were wiped out by the explosion, and it was obvious that he did not want Merlin to notice him, nor did he want these tricky heroes to destroy his plans.
Although, no one knows what the plan was.
———————————————————
"boom"
The scorching fire of hell filled the passage in front of him under Merlin's call, like a rapidly moving fire wall, suppressing all the soldiers and mutants who blocked him in front of him to retreat.
A female mutant who can constantly teleport himself appeared from behind Merlin, waving two purple energy knives toward Merlin.
Laura subconsciously popped out her claws, but was stopped by Merlin's eyes.
“Should it.”
Merlin whispered:
"I don't want to see your hands stained with blood anymore, girl, at least tonight."
Laura shook her head stubbornly. She looked back and saw that the woman who jumped out of the teleportation had been controlled by the floating black fog. As Merlin's fingers danced, she rushed to the soldiers in front of her stiffly.
This is not the only mutant to be controlled.
Merlin's move this time was very "gentle". He did not kill too many people, but used the Black Mist Puppet Fighting Technique to control them, just like he was controlling his own soldiers.
As his fingers continued to move, the controlled soldiers and mutants were already fighting with others rushing out of the building with wooden faces.
The dissipating black fog is still constantly controlling more people.
This slightly evil puppet trick was learned by Merlin from the power projection of the Three Palaces that came to reality. It is said that this is one of the tactics that the Three Palaces are best at. When the super-level demon was rampant in hell, he could easily control a hell legion and transform the enemy's power into his own by relying on this control technique.
Merlin obviously can't reach that level, but it's still okay to control dozens of people.
"Take me to the lab."
Merlin said to Laura:
"You should know where those assholes are tormenting those poor people, right?"
Laura nodded, she glanced at the chaotic battlefield behind her, and then pulled Merlin into another spiraling ladder.
Looking out from the window, Commander Colson's witch hunter and combat team's airborne have also been completed. They formed a temporary encirclement outside the building. Some guys who wanted to escape rushed out and crashed into the encirclement.
This is what Merlin wants to see.
A battle of annihilation.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Merlin patted his head and took out the wand from his waist. As Laura looked curiously, he raised the wand. After a moment of chanting, a large-scale space anchor was applied to the building. The space here was completely blocked. No teleportation technique, whether it was magic or teleportation from mutants, could no longer take effect.
"That's fine."
Merlin took back his wand and said to Laura:
"Continue to lead the way, kid, it's just magic, nothing to be surprised about."
Laura pursed her lips. She seemed to want to speak, but she didn't say it in the end. She kept silent as always. She led Meilin all the way up and soon arrived at the experimental area on the third floor.
While fierce battle broke out below the building, it was already in chaos. People in research uniforms were tiring up their things, or running around like headless flies.
This is exactly the same as the scene in Laura's memory, a passage full of despair, with laboratories on both sides of the passage, and there are painful crying sounds.
"It's noisy!"
Meilin looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and he stretched his finger forward. The rolling black mist rushed towards the passage in front of him like a roaring giant snake, and roughly fixed everyone in front of him.
The entire chaotic experimental area immediately became quiet, except for the screams of the unattended experimental subjects.
This quiet made Merlin feel satisfied, and he pulled Laura into the nearest lab.
A young boy was lying on the hospital bed. He seemed to have just been injected with serum containing x gene fragments. The blood vessels on his arms burst and the muscles on his face were twisted. He was in pain and even breathing became difficult, like a fish thrown in the sun and struggling.
"Save me...please...please..."
The boy looked at Merlin and Laura beside him in despair. Laura wanted to rush up to help, but Merlin reached out to stop him.
This girl can only kill people, but she can't save people.
"Moira?"
Merlin contacted the Watch Team's military doctor with Icarus, and he said:
"Come to me, someone needs help."
A few seconds later, the window of the laboratory was smashed by a metal stick. Dr. Moira, wearing Valkyrie armor, jumped into the laboratory. She nodded to Merlin and walked to the painful boy. She checked his condition and said:
"It's so bad. These bastards didn't do genetic matching at all. They just inject genetic fragments casually. It's so unprofessional. It's really vulgar... Also, Merlin, I've played enough military doctor games. You'd better find a real doctor to come over quickly. My own experiment has been delayed for too long!"
"We're looking for it, but it's not that easy either."
Merlin answered Moira's words while taking Laura out of the ward. He looked at the "doctors" and "nurses" tied to the place in the passage in front of him, and he whispered:
"They are all researchers, aren't they?"
Merlin looked at Laura and asked:
"Each of them has been involved in the experiment with you, right?"
Laura nodded, she didn't know what Merlin was going to do.
"Girl, are there any innocent people among these people?"
Merlin asked again, Laura turned her head to look at the people in front of her, she distinguished their faces, she recalled what these people did in the past, she tried to find a few innocent people, but unfortunately...
No.
In this sinful building, those truly kind people cannot stay, and being able to conduct this tormenting experiment on children without psychological barriers also seems to mean that these people, no matter how old they are, no matter how their lives are, are far from being kind and innocent.
Laura finally shook her head at Merlin.
"Um."
Merlin raised her head and said to those who looked at him:
"I'm sorry, I want to tell you that you have been arrested and that you will face legal sanctions and trials. I want to tell you that you will repent for all your confessions in prison and spend the rest of your life to atone for your sins."
"But... the bodies in the morgue in the basement do not allow me to do this, nor do I do the ghosts who yell around you."
"There is only one judgment that the vengeful spirits shaped by your sins desire..."
Merlin stretched out her hand and gently covered Laura's eyes, he said:
"Go and pray for their forgiveness..."
“In hell.”
"Wow"
The scorching fire of hell rose from everyone's feet, and the scorching flames were like swallowing snakes, tangling around the guys who had committed numerous crimes.
They were in pain, they were afraid, they were frightened, and they cried loudly.
But they cannot make sounds and struggle, just like those children who are tied to a hospital bed and can only passively accept unknown fate and torture.
In Merlin's eyes, every part of the passage was filled with traces of earth-bound spirits, and the weak spirits were roaring, and they died of ugly sins, and now they were comforted.
Laura reached out and tried to pull away Merlin's hand that covered her eyes, but heard Merlin say to her:
"Be good, don't watch good kids."
So Laura calmed down.
In fact, for a mutant like Laura, who has a keen senses, she knew very well what Merlin did.
At the moment when the silently burning pillars of fire were extinguished, and at the moment when the ashes were rolled up and drifted, in front of Merlin, the spirits leaned over to Merlin one by one to pay tribute. The spirits of several cute children ran around Merlin, laughing, and they waved goodbye to Merlin.
After the final desire is satisfied, these weak spirits will completely dissipate and return to the world.
Merlin imposed a small magic on Laura, so that she could see the dying spirits, and he knew that among those spirits, there were Laura's friends.
The little girl saw things that ordinary people could not see, but she was not afraid. She searched for those spirits, and finally she found them.
It was a girl who was thinner than Laura. She floated to Laura and showed a big smile to Laura. She stretched out her hand and wanted to hug Laura, as if she was wishing her friends peace for life.
Laura reached out her hand in vain, trying to keep her, but the already satisfied spirit body could no longer exist.
The little girl and several other spirits that were familiar with Laura waved to Laura, and then dissipated like the most beautiful halo. The dark blue light spots were scattered around Laura. This scene looked very beautiful.
“They went to a better place…”
Merlin walked forward and stood beside Laura, he placed his hand on Laura's shoulder and he whispered:
"In the eyes of wizards, death is not the end, but the beginning of another journey. Bless them, Laura. You may not understand it yet, but every journey will have an end, and after crossing the end, the story will continue."
"Um..."
The little girl turned around and threw herself into Meilin's arms. The tense silence that had been tense was finally broken at this moment. She burst into tears, like a truly sad child.
She still couldn't let go of her friend's departure like Merlin, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to her eternal farewell.
She's just a child...
"I have no chance to live a stable life in my life."
Merlin hugged the crying girl, he stroked Laura's hair, and he whispered:
"So you kids, you must live the life you want to live and cherish it for me."
"Now, the revenge has been avenged, the revenge has been gone, my child, you are free."
Merlin turned around and waved to Moira who was standing not far behind him and watching this scene quietly. He said to Laura, who was covered in tears:
"Follow the elder sister."
"I have to stay here. I still have some personal grudges and need to be dealt with."
