10. Raid【15/100】
"The loss of the universe's Rubik's Cube was the most painful thing in Howard's later years. Although I didn't know the reason at that time, my depressed state during that year left a deep memory."
Ms. Peggy Carter, who was very weak, personally sent Merlin to the door with the help of her niece.
She held Merlin's hand and said softly:
"Howard is my best friend and the founder of the Strategic Science Legion. Without him, there would be no you who are now. He died in a despicable murder, and there was too little that I could do for him."
"I'm too old."
Ms. Carter said with regret:
"But you, Merlin, I hope you can try to get our lost cosmic cube from the Kerry to comfort Howard's soul."
The lady said word by word:
"Howard is the smartest person I have ever met. If he thinks that the universe cube is the key to the significant improvement of human technology, then it is necessary for us to get it back for our own future!"
"If it hasn't been taken away by the Kerry, I promise to do my best to bring it back."
Merlin promised Ms. Carter:
"That thing that belongs to us is, and after it is stolen, it should have returned to the original owner."
"good."
Ms. Carter nodded, she thought for a while and said to Merlin with a smile:
"I'm retired, and I have nothing to reward you. All I can give you is blessing, Merlin. When we met, I asked you if you want to be a hero like Steve."
The old lady stretched out her hand and helped Meilin brush her hair, and she whispered:
"You are very similar to him now."
"You are already on that road. Go forward bravely, kid."
Merlin didn't know how to answer for a moment. Every time she met Ms. Carter, she liked to compare herself with the legendary hero who had disappeared from history. This put a lot of pressure on Merlin, but indeed, he could also feel the expectations Ms. Carter had for him.
To be honest, it is not annoying to be expected by others.
He took a deep breath, nodded seriously to Ms. Carter, and then turned toward the entrance to the villa.
There, Pierce's car was still waiting for him. The luxury car would send him directly to meet with other agents, then take the arranged jet aircraft and rush to Louisiana as fast as possible.
After knowing the secret of Tianma's plan, Merlin already knew what he was going to do.
Ms. Carter watched Merlin leave, after the car disappeared on the street. She reached out and patted her niece Sharon Carter beside her.
The old lady looked at her niece and said softly:
"Sharon, what do you think of Merlin?"
Miss Sharon helped her aunt back into the room, and she sat beside her aunt and said softly:
"Merlin has a secret, there is no doubt about it. I can feel that he is pursuing identification, from those around him, or from himself. Past experiences are still affecting him, and he is trying to make himself the kind of person who can be relied on by others."
"He is trying to be a hero."
"Well, the observation is good."
Page Carter held her niece's hand, and she closed her eyes like an ordinary old lady, she said:
"Merlin is still a little immature now, but he is growing rapidly. He will soon become an excellent agent. I thought it would be difficult to find a true successor in my lifetime, but in Merlin, I saw a glimmer of hope."
"Maybe, in the near future, he will take over me and become a new confidentiality agent."
On the Louisiana farm, Nick Fury was anxiously waiting for the news.
He is now located in Maria Rambo's farm. This woman was Furth's partner in the Tianma Project, a test flight pilot, and a single mother. After her best friend died in the crash, she quit her job and took her daughter back to her hometown farm.
Fury and Fus snatched a plane from the Pagasos base and flew directly here. They arrived at midnight yesterday and successfully found Maria and her daughter Monica.
Both Maria and Monica recognize Furth, but the problem is that Furth can't remember them.
I can't remember it at all, as if my memories of them were completely wiped out.
For the whole day afterward, Maria and Monica tried to help Furth recover his past memories, but with little success.
The Kerry's memory blockade of Furth was very strong, like a lock, tied tightly in Furth's mind. Unless a complete key could be found, it would be difficult to fully open the lock.
The worst thing is that after Kohler's raid, Fury is now almost in a state of panic. This old agent is experienced, has a lot of experience, has a lot of knowledge, and has enough courage and wisdom, but he cannot withstand the absurd situation in front of him.
The Scluts' ability to transform is really too buggy.
Fury now looks like everyone is disguised by the Scru people. Any emergencies will make him go with his plants and soldiers. His pistols will never leave him.
"Drip, drip"
The BP machine that Fury fixed on his arm suddenly rang. He looked down and saw that it was a message from Merlin, and he would arrive here soon.
This made Fury breathe a sigh of relief almost immediately.
He walked back into the room and watched the little girl Monica look at the old photos with Furth while Maria was making supper in the kitchen.
Fury leaned against the door and said to Fus:
"Don't remember it yet? Carol Danvers."
After a few seconds, Furth raised his head, the blonde woman looked confused, she didn't even react, Fury was calling her just now.
"Sorry, but I really don't feel this name, it's like a stranger's name."
Furth grabbed her blonde hair, and she looked at the strange photos in front of her and said to Fury:
"Can you understand? It's like watching other people's stories entirely."
"This means we haven't found the key yet."
Fury was a little regretful, he said anxiously:
"I haven't found that way to break through the blockade. I recall the nodes in the past, but there is one thing I can be sure of now. Carol, you are an earthling, there is no doubt about it."
"What do you want to say, Fury?"
Furth, or rather, Carol looked up at the black agent, and she said:
"Are you suggesting something?"
"I mean, if one of the Scru and the Kerry wants to be bad for the earth"
Fury looked directly into Carol's eyes and asked:
"Will you help us? Or continue to pretend that you are a Kerry and join the invader's side?"
"I"
Carol didn't know how to answer this question.
Now all the evidence she found in her own hands proves that she is a real earthling, but the thinking in her mind repeatedly reminds her that she is a noble Kerry warrior.
These two kinds of self-cognitions were rushing wildly in Carol's mind. She didn't want to be deceived, but it was difficult for her to go against her self-instinct.
So, after a few seconds, she raised her head and said calmly to Fury:
"I don't know. But if they do something bad, I will try my best to stop it!"
"This is not the answer I want, I thought we were friends."
Fury vomited a noise, he didn't know how to evaluate Carol in front of him.
He only knew that this woman with powerful power was indeed pitiful. She lost her identity and lost all memories of the past, just like she had died and was resurrected again and again.
No wonder Merlin said that Carol is very similar to him in the past, and she is indeed very similar. Her situation is even worse than Merlin in the past.
Although Merlin lost everything, he had at least himself.
This woman even lost herself.
"We are friends, Fury."
Carol said seriously:
"So no matter what happens in the end, I will protect you from harm."
"Okay, this at least gives me some peace of mind."
Fury shrugged, what else he wanted to say.
But the next moment, Carol's eyes suddenly looked behind her. She stood up and clenched her fists. The blue and red energy jumped on her fists. She shouted loudly at the empty living room behind her:
"Who is there! Come out!"
"Swish"
The shadows were removed, and fully armed Merlin and Natasha appeared in the living room.
When seeing these two people appearing out of thin air, the little girl Monica screamed in fear and hid behind Fury quickly. Maria, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard her daughter screaming, and rushed out with a meat-cutting knife. Then she saw the tense scene in the living room.
The black lady wanted to rush over to protect her daughter, but was stopped by Carol.
"It's you."
Carol lowered her fist and she recognized Merlin.
The latter glanced at the energy dissipated from Carol's fist. He confirmed Carol's identity and threw a document to her.
"I found your past, Carol."
Merlin said to Carol:
"Look carefully, it's the life you lost."
After saying that, Merlin pulled Colt out of her waist and pointed at Fury in front of her, and said seriously:
"Confirm identity!"
Fury's eyes widened and sighed helplessly, and he said weakly:
“Triangle”
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Merlin's mouth.
The next moment, his gun pointed at Monica, the little girl hiding behind Fury, and Natasha's pistol also pointed at Maria Rambo beside him:
"Confirm identity!"
"Merlin, they've been with us all the time, they're real."
Carol grabbed Merlin's pistol, but Merlin dodged and signaled Carol to calm down.
Merlin looked at the little girl and the former pilot beside him and said to Carol:
"The Scolus disappeared, they are probably nearby, and you should understand that we have to be more cautious."
After saying that, Merlin took out another document from his magic pocket. He looked at Maria Rambo, who looked angry beside him. He opened the document and asked:
"Person Maria, please tell me your identity number in the Tenma Plan!"
“5741850901ml-47n1!”
Maria glanced at Carol, and Carol nodded to her.
So Maris thought for a few seconds and then accurately stated her original number, exactly the same as in the file.
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, signaling Natasha beside him to put away her pistol, and then said to Maria:
"Madam, now ask your daughter a question, it's better to be a secret that only you two know."
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that her daughter was suspected, the former pilot suddenly became angry again, and she asked sharply. Carol comforted her former friend, and she whispered to Maria:
"Ask, Maria, do you remember the Scoru people I told you? It's for Monica."
Maria obviously distrusts Merlin who broke into her house, but she trusts her friends who have come back from the dead.
Under Carol's dissuasion, Maria turned her head and wanted to ask a question. When she saw the little girl who was originally frightened, she quickly grabbed the utility knife at her hand, and her body also changed instantly.
"Don't move! Cautious Earthlings!"
The leader of the Scoru people, Taros, an alien who had transformed into Kohler, stood behind Fury. The sharp knife in his hand pressed against Fury's neck, and with just a slight stroke, Fury would die on the spot.
This leader was taller than the ordinary Sclut. He bound Fury and kept retreating under the threat of the two muzzles in front of him and Carol's photon cannon.
His yellow eyes were shining with a cunning light, and in a weird voice, he said to Merlin and Natasha who were aiming at him with guns in front of him, and Carol with energy shining with his hands:
"No one is injured, no one is bleeding, and no one is dead. So let's guess how long this peaceful situation can last."
Seeing her daughter turning into a monster, this sudden blow made Maria collapse a little. She waved the sharp knife in her hand and screamed at Taros:
"What's wrong with your daughter! You are such a mess! Bichi! I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing Maria rushing out, Natasha, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, slapped her neck with a palm, allowing the mother who cares about her daughter to "rest" for a while.
"This is a matter between us! Taros."
Carol stepped forward and she shouted:
"Don't involve others!"
"You are the ones who attacked us first."
The green scalp of the Scoru Taros reflected a strange light under the light in the living room. He looked at Carol, and the alien's eyes shone with anger, he said:
"We have no malice at all, we have no interest in your world, we are just for you! We are just for Carol Danvers! We even need only one news, but you killed my friends and captured my subordinates. It was the dispute you started first."
"You have lost a friend, friend, if you don't calm down, you will most likely lose a second one."
Merlin reached out to Carol's shoulder and said softly to Taros:
"Don't forget, you have hostages, so do we!"
Under the cover of Carol's figure, his other finger was slightly hooked. Behind the aliens, the closed door in the living room seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand, and the gap expanded little by little in silence.
Merlin opened her hands and walked forward, threw the gun in her hand to the ground, and he said to Taros:
"Don't you want to know where Mar Will left behind?"
At this moment, at the same time when Merlin attracted Taros' attention, a silent black arrow shot out from the door, accurately passing through a gap that was only a finger wide, and stabbing hard behind Taros.
The strong current attached to the arrow burst out in an instant, paralyzing the caught aliens and Fury who were held hostage in place.
Meilin's body turned into black smoke, wrapping the two people in front of him in an instant.
"Bang"
As the black mist rolled, Fury's body was thrown back, while the tall Taros was strangled by Merlin, who was half-fogging, and slammed hard on the floor.
The young agent looked at Taros' yellow eyes, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:
"No one is afraid of you here!"
"Alien miscellaneous!"
Chapter completed!
