"Dum, I know, is a smart man who doesn't like to talk."

In Merlin's office, Dr. Reid tried to draw the Victor von Doom in his memory while holding a paintbrush, and said to Merlin:

"He is not handsome, but has a special temperament, the silence and tenacity are like a rock that doesn't speak. He is 1.88 meters tall. When everyone is in class together, he is also outstanding."

Reed said while writing and drawing with the pen in his hand:

"For a while, Doum's weird accent and his unique living habits were sneered by many people, and people called him "Bunzi and a Chinese dumb rogue, but Doum didn't care. He was not the kind of person who would doubt himself because of other people's words."

“Dum has a very strong learning ability.”

Dr. Susan also responded:

"I was in the same academy as Reed and Doom. Of course, compared to the two of their attention-prone 'new stars', I was just a very ordinary girl."

"Ordinary? No, you're not ordinary at all."

Merlin chuckled and said:

"Dr. Susan, don't be too modest. I don't think you are really ordinary for girls who can be pursued by Reed and Doom at the same time..."

"Uh, OK."

Susan smiled and said to Merlin seriously:

"You have exposed it, Mr. Merlin, in the academy, Reed and Doom were competing for the throne of the smartest man, but the third smartest man and the most beautiful girl always belonged to me..."

"No wonder."

Merlin also said seriously;

"Interesting souls always attract each other, and I can probably understand why Doom and Reed are rebellious because of you."

"No, their rebellion is not because of me, Merlin, they are not that short-sighted."

Susan shook her head, and she looked at the vivid portrait of Doum that Reed drew, and she said with regret:

"They became enemies because of something even more terrible."

"It's done."

Reed handed the portrait of the figure in his hand to Merlin, who took it in his hand. He looked at the face of the silent young man on the portrait. He shook his head and said to Reed:

"It's a good painting, but it's not like the current Doom."

Merlin took out the photos taken by the agents. In the blurry photo, Dum walked on the stairs of the castle in a green head. It could be seen that Dum had a metal mask on his face.

"Why did he wear a mask?"

Merlin shot the photo from his hand and said:

"Is it to hide the secret? Or..."

"Because he was injured, to be precise, his face was ruined."

Reed explained to Merlin in a tone of regret mixed with regret:

"It was a 'software' of a failed experiment, and at that time, I was on the scene."

"Tell me."

Merlin blinked and said:

“About that accident.”

"Ah, I said before, Doum once told me that his mother was a witch and her soul fell into the hands of the great demon."

Dr. Reed said in a low tone:

"I was very young and scoffed at magic, something I didn't know, but Dum believed that magic existed. In his second year of school, he secretly designed a weird instrument that he claimed could help him rescue his mother's soul trapped in hell."

“But there is something wrong with his design.”

Reed said:

"At that time, because of Susan, our relationship was not good. I recalculated Dum's experimental parameters with a feeling of ridicule and watching the fun. It turned out that there was a slight chance that his experiment would explode and would blow the entire experimental building away."

"I went to stop him, but Dum couldn't listen to my dissuasion at all. He insisted on activating the instrument, and I rushed to stop him."

Dr. Reed sighed and said regretfully:

"There was indeed a problem in the end of the experiment. Doom wanted to force the instrument to turn off, but it was too late. I could only take Susan out of the laboratory building. In the laboratory behind us, Doom was involved in the explosion. He was lucky to survive, but his face and his body...bad."

"The most important thing is that the school was very angry when Dumm conducted the experiment privately. They fired Dumm. He was kicked out of the school after he woke up. That was not my fault... But I felt guilty. Susan and I went to him to apologize, but Dumm did not respond to our apology at all. He told us... The science he values ​​disappointed him, and he was going to find another power."

"Magic, he was going to pursue the power of magic. That night, he disappeared, disappeared, and then never appeared again."

"Where did he go?"

Merlin asked:

"It is difficult for an ordinary person to get in touch with magic. He has to find a real spellcaster. Has he gone to Europe? Or elsewhere?"

"It seems to be Tibet."

Susan said with certainty:

"I remember Dum was looking for strange stories in the library for a while, and he told me that there were three magic nodes and a magic source in the world, right in Tibet, well, to be precise, in the Himalayas."

"This statement... cannot be wrong."

Merlin moved his fingers, and he looked at the two photos of Dumm in front of him, and he whispered:

"I probably understand. By the way, has Dum told you that his mother's soul fell into the hands of which demon?"

“He said it.”

Reed replied:

"I've said it many times, it seems, Mephisto?"

"Oh, I know it."

Merlin snapped his fingers and said:

"Master Hell, a cunning bastard, I have seen it with my own eyes. It seems that this guy has done a lot of evil things... Well, I have taken up too much of your time. If there is nothing else, you can leave. In addition, I wish your space experiments smoothly."

"bite"

Just as Merlin and Reed and Susan's discussion on Victor von Doom came to an end, a few minutes after Reed and Susan left, the data simulation program Icarus had been running also had results.

"There is no problem with this design. It can produce all the smart machines we have collected so far according to the instructions."

Icarus's voice rang in Merlin's ears, and the little sister of artificial intelligence said:

"Reed also reserved enough upgrade modules for this design. It seems that he has integrated the knowledge of the Cybertron. This is amazing. His wisdom... is quite terrifying."

"He is the smartest man in the world, Icarus, who represents the pinnacle of human wisdom."

Merlin bounced the drawings on his hand, and he said:

"Transfer it to the Onika Group and start the design of the prototype. This has been delayed for too long. After the prototype experiment is over, we are ready to start large-scale publicity. It is time to push it into the second stage."

"Counting the time, the fourth energy disturbance of the fire source should be about to begin. It is best to complete all the preliminary preparations before more natural intelligence machines appear."

————————————

On the other hand, while Merlin and Reed were discussing Doom's past with Susan, Deadpool Wade was also carrying out his last mission in the slums of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, South America.

Xiao Jianjian, who no one likes, is very happy now.

He sat on a bridge on the edge of the slum in his iconic red and black combat uniform, carrying two straight-edged knives, and two bullet-filled pistols inserted into the holster on his thigh.

He had a small speaker like a Walkman in hand, and there was a song with a cheerful melody.

The little bastard lifted up some of the headband and leaned on the pillar by the wall with satisfaction. While eating his favorite burrito, he fantasized about his upcoming freedom.

He was one of the few people in the Black Claw Mercenary Group with relatively few sentences. In addition, he has been doing some shameful black jobs for SHIELD in recent years. He will receive a reduction in sentence every time he performs a mission, so he has only more than one month left in prison.

And Merlin seemed to have mercy. The agent commander of Merlin's commander Colson told Wade that as long as he completes five more hunts for the remnants of Hydra, he will be free immediately.

The best thing is that SHIELD will pay for these five operations... This makes Wade, a little cash-strapped who has been in prison for several years and has been short of money, very happy.

He took on his last few tasks without hesitation.

Everything went smoothly, SHIELD issued intelligence, and then Deadpool tracked Hydra's escapees in several countries in South America. SHIELD had no law enforcement power in these countries, so it could only use this curve to save the country to eliminate Hydra's final military power.

"Well, I completed 4 tasks in one week, this is the last time."

Wade took a bite of the burrito, and his other hand slashed around his oily and bloody notebook, writing something that only he could understand. While writing, he kept chattering to himself:

"These Hydra bastards are really good at hiding, but they are still not as good as Deadpool. If I kill this group of escaped bastards today, I can go and hand in the job to the annoying Merlin. I will be free. My cousin is still locked up, but he doesn't care anyway, so I will enjoy my freedom first."

"Do you want to find Vanessa first..."

Deadpool's mind saw his perfect ex-girlfriend with a bulge-shaped front and a raised back. Vanessa's departure made Xiao Jianjian feel heartbroken, so he decided to start his new life.

"Forget it, she doesn't know me anymore, and she will definitely not be with me again...oh, they are here!"

Deadpool's fantasy was quickly interrupted by a buzzing car from afar. Little Killing hurriedly stuffed the remaining burrito into his mouth, like a squirrel, stuffing his cheeks bulging.

While chewing food with difficulty, he pulled down his mask and stood up by the bridge. Two bullet-filled pistols were beating in his palms for a week.

As the armed convoy below passed by the bridge, Wade closed his eyes, opened his arms, calculated the time, and then fell down like a falling angel.
