4. Secret Archives [9/100]
"I must be crazy."
"Yes, I must be crazy! I will take a woman I have known for less than a day to a military base with the highest level of confidentiality!"
On the way to the deserted mountains of Nevada, Fury was driving while chattering and complaining:
"If this matter is discovered, I will definitely go to the military court. You two are fine. One can go to the alien shelter, and the other can hide it and no one can find it. In the end, I will take the blame."
"It proves that you are a good guy, Agent Free."
Furse, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said with a smile:
"Helping a woman in trouble is a very noble act in Hara, and the Kerry men are proud of it."
"Yes, Fury is such a passionate person."
Meilin, who was sitting in the back seat, asked casually while observing the surrounding environment:
"Tell us about that Tianma plan, Fury, you just said that we initiated that plan before?"
"I can't tell you."
Fury said with a stern face while turning on the steering wheel:
"That's a military secret."
"Then choose something that can be said."
Merlin urged:
"You can't let us enter that place without knowing anything, do you?"
"Okay. But you will be disappointed, because I don't know much."
Fury hesitated for a few seconds and then said softly:
"The Tianma Plan is a plan started in the 1980s. I don't know very well about the specific content. At that time, I just joined the Strategic Science Legion and, like you, was a rookie in the organization."
"I just know that the plan was initiated by Mr. Howard Stark, aiming to study new energy. He was a real genius who gathered a group of scientists as talented as him to build the Pagasos base in this mountain."
"In 1989, there were rumors that their research had made important progress. But in the second half of 1989, the plan was suddenly terminated for unknown reasons."
Fury looked up and looked at Merlin in the rearview mirror, and he said:
"I had just started pursuing you. I didn't know much about the specific situation, but later I heard that because of this, Mr. Howard's relationship with the Strategic Science Legion became alienated. Ms. Carter dissuaded from many ways, which made Mr. Howard dismiss the idea of leaving the institution."
"Wendy Lawson?"
Fuss, who was in the co-pilot, suddenly spoke a name. She looked at Fury and said:
"Do you have any impression of this name? In my chaotic memories, I remember that she always wore a Tianma Plan coat and was busy all day long at the base. We often called her 'Dr.'
"I have no idea."
Fury thought for a while, shook his head, and he said:
"Maybe someone knows more inside information about the Tenma Project, but that's definitely not me. After all, I'm just a poor-level 3 civilian agent."
While speaking, Fury's car turned into a fork in the mountain and drove forward for another 20 minutes. They arrived at an extremely secret military base, in a valley, surrounded by barbed wire and steel walls. The door was closed and a watchtower was built on both sides of the road behind the door, which looked very vigilant.
"Are you sure it's here? Fury?"
Merlin looked at the base hidden in the shadows of the valley and said:
"Didn't you say that this place has been abandoned?"
"I'm sure it's here."
Fury rolled down the window and put his finger on the verification device on the roadside. He said to Merlin:
"The Tianma project has been terminated, but there are other experiments on this base that are continuing. Don't ask about these things, your confidentiality level is not enough."
"Dou,Dou"
With two light sounds, Fury's fingerprint verification passed, and the door in front of the vehicle slowly opened.
"You guys go, I'll do your backup plan."
Merlin said, and then quietly entered the Shadow Cloak. He was still in the car, but he disappeared to avoid any unexpected situations.
Fury's car drove all the way into the base parking lot without any obstacles.
After parking the car, he threw a baseball cap to Furth, he said:
"Try not to speak up later, just pretend you are my adjutant. This is a military base, so don't cause too much trouble."
After saying that, Fury put on his sunglasses, pretended to be a secret agent, and walked into the base with the silent Furth.
"Hello, Agent Free."
They were greeted by the security staff at the base. He held the record book and asked:
“Did you come for business without your advance reservation at the Pagasos base?”
"Um."
Fury nodded and said:
"I was ordered to review the relevant documents of the Tianma Plan. I will not take it away, it is just a routine filing."
After hearing Fury's words, the security chief's expression changed. He put away the record book and said to Fury:
"Then come with me, I'll take you there."
Fury and Fuss followed the base staff to a visiting room, and he told Fury and Fuss:
"You two are waiting here, and I will send the documents immediately."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
"Clang"
There was a light sound, then the key sounded, and the door was locked tightly the next moment.
"Damn!"
Fury immediately realized that the problem was wrong, and he grabbed the lock and tried to open the door. Behind him, Fus raised his fist and said to Fury:
“Get out of here!”
After saying that, she was about to open the door, but the next second, the locked door opened again.
Merlin stood at the door, holding the knocked staff member in his hand, and he said to Fury and Fuss:
"Let's go, I've found the archives."
After saying that, he threw the fainted staff member into the house, locked the door, and took Fury and Fuss to the archive room on the 5th floor underground.
But all three of them neglected a little, and they did not carefully check the staff.
Ten minutes after they left, the knocked guy woke up leisurely. He looked around and twisted the lock of the completely locked door. A hint of anger flashed across his face, but soon, the muscles on his face began to twist and change. After a few seconds, the guy turned into a green alien in black.
He has sharp ears, a body like green fibers, no hair, but there are a few strange black spots on his head.
This is a Scru!
After he became a prototype, he raised his arm and opened a weird projection device. He said to the device in an obscure alien language:
"Taros! They are here! That woman, an earthling, and finally there is a guy who can be invisible. They are at the base of Pagasos! Come!"
On the projection of the Skuru people's arms, a familiar figure is reflected.
Kohler!
The incompetent Kohler!
This guy's projection answered in the same obscure language:
"Wait for us there! Be sure to catch her this time!"
Kohler, Kohler who had arguing with Fury before
It was actually the Scru people pretended to be!
Fury and Fuss were searching for information about the Tianma Project in the archives. Merlin hid his body, wandering and watching at the entrance of the fifth floor underground.
The staff of this base have shown a disagreement attitude, so they must be more vigilant in their actions. If there is any disturbance, they must leave immediately.
After all, this is a real military base, and Fury and Merlin are active intelligence workers and real public officials. Once they are found trespassing the base with strangers, they must go to the military court.
Merlin hid in the shadows, and he perceived the surrounding environment vigilantly. After the dark perception spread, he could perceive anyone who approached him as soon as possible.
Nothing can escape his perception, even an ant
"Meow!"
A cat's meow suddenly rang behind Merlin, which scared Merlin, who was fully focused.
He suddenly turned around and saw an orange cat squatting behind him, tilting his head, looking at him curiously. And Merlin didn't feel the cat's approaching at all!
What's more, Merlin was still in the shadow cloak at this time. Logically speaking, this cat could not see him!
But judging from the curious expression shining in the cat's eyes, it not only saw Merlin, but also wondered why this human was squatting at the entrance of the stairs stupidly?
"How did you come here? Little guy?"
Because she was helped by the ugly cat Crucker Mountain in danger, Merlin was still full of kindness towards the creature Kitten.
He escaped from the shadow cape, squatted in front of the cat, stretched out his hand and stroked its head.
This made the orange cat moan comfortably, and Merlin noticed that there was a silver pendant hanging around the cat's neck. He put the silver-like pendant on his palm and found a line of text on it:
"Dear Gugu, I will send you home, I swear - Mar Will"
"Is your name Gugu?"
Merlin patted the kitten's head, and he was like talking to the kitten, he said:
"Mar Will, is she or him, your master?"
"Meow"
Gugu stretched out his claws and pushed Merlin's hand away from his pendant. It seemed that he didn't like others touching the pendant. This made Merlin smile. He took out a little magic cat food from his magic pocket. This was a small bag of samples given to the female shopkeeper of the round glasses last time when she bought cat food for Crook Mountain. Merlin kept forgetting it in her pocket.
Now it finally has its use.
The carefully crafted cat food by the wizards made the cool kitten's tail start to sway. Merlin placed the cat food on the ground, and Gugu lay there and began to feast on it.
This made Meilin smile. He turned around and began to use his perception monitoring base again.
However, a few minutes later, the faint sound from the passage behind made Merlin frown. He entered the shadow cape and quietly approached the passage behind.
After turning a corner, he unexpectedly saw that Furth was talking to someone on the base phone.
The weirdest thing is that there is a special device on Foss' wrist, which looks very sophisticated. She connected the phone cable to the device, and it was obvious that this was definitely not talking to someone on Earth.
This discovery made Meilin squint.
He didn't dare to get too close to Furth. Before, Furth could feel Merlin's existence at Pancho Bar, which shows that Furth also has super perception ability.
Merlin hid around the corner, spreading his dark perception in the slightest posture, just like a eavesdropper, eavesdropping on the sound of Furth talking to the mysterious man.
"Yong, I just read the information about the Tianma Project. Lawson is from Kerry and she is one of us."
Furth said to the person on the other end of the phone in a confused voice:
"The data here is that she died in a crash. What the hell is going on? Why are our people on the planet C-53? They also participated in local trials?"
"Foss, I don't have the authority to tell you too much, but what I can tell is that Lawson is an agent of the Kerry Empire. Her real name is Mar Will. A few years ago, she discovered a special energy in the direction of the planet C-53. She accepted a mission to come to this planet to study this special energy. She claimed that this energy can permanently help us end the war with the Scroogs."
The man named Yong answered Furse's question in this way, which made Merlin, who was eavesdropping, narrow his eyes.
Sure enough, there are spies from other planets on Earth, but they are not Scrooges, but Kerry!
"What about me?"
Fuss asked again, with a hint of anger and panic in her tone, and she said:
"I found evidence, Yong, I found evidence of my life on Earth. I worked with Mar Will at that time. When she was Lawson, the Earthling, I was her good friend and when I went to see the Supreme Wisdom before this mission, she also appeared in the appearance of Lawson!"
"The highest wisdom you know will only appear in the appearance of someone who remembers the most! Brave! Part of my memory is blocked! Don't you think, should you explain something to me?"
Faced with Furth's questioning, Yong whispered:
"That sounds like a Scruian disguise, listen to me, Furth"
"No! That's not!"
Furth's voice became more intense, and she screamed:
"I remember! I remember those memories! Those memories that keep popping up in my mind! I have been here! I have lived here! Even, even."
"Stop!"
The man named Yong scolded:
"Don't forget your training and understand your enemies. You may be your enemies too! Don't be affected by emotions."
"Bang"
Before the man's words could be finished, a ball of dark magic that was thrown over like a spear destroyed the entire phone.
Furth suddenly turned around and saw Merlin standing up from the corner. The agent looked at her. He looked at Furth deeply, and he said:
"The time to visit relatives is over, Furse, someone is coming. Hurry and leave this with Fury. I'll delay their pace!"
"How much have you heard?"
Furse asked gritted his teeth and Merlin shrugged:
"Not much, but it's enough for me to guess the truth."
Merlin looked at Furth and he said seriously:
"Stop letting that alien brainwash you anymore. Fouse, you are an earthling, you are our fellow countrymen, not the cannon fodder of the Kerry!"
"How do I know that all this is not your conspiracy?"
Furth gritted his teeth, like a stubborn girl, she said to Merlin:
"Maybe, you are trying to brainwash me like them! Are you trying to let me fight for your interests?"
"So you go find it yourself."
Merlin turned around, and he heard a lot of messy footsteps rushing into the ground, and he said to Furth:
"Go to find evidence that you were born on Earth and grew up on Earth. I'm sure that one day you will stand on our side and say goodbye to Fury for me. I'm going to another place to look for evidence."
"The next time I meet, Furth, I will let you accept it all."
Furth looked at Merlin's back as she disappeared into the air, and she shouted:
"Why should I help me so persistently? Merlin, are you trying to use me too?"
"The reason is very simple, because"
Merlin's low voice rang in Furth's ears:
“I understand the feeling of homelessness, too.”
