Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 110 1. The Emperor's Plan [33100]

Fury didn't give Merlin much information.

Obviously, the National Security Agency will not just hand over all the secrets in its hands to the newly rebuilt S.H.I.E.L.D.The game between institutions is a long process, and those troublesome things are naturally done by Pierce and Fury.

For Merlin, the document in front of him was just another task.

After experiencing the story of Carol and the Cree, Merlin felt that no matter how weird the mission was, he would not be surprised.

But that night, after Merlin opened the document in his own room at base 084, he realized that he still knew too little about the truth of this world.

Under the light of the desk lamp, Merlin carefully read the document in front of him.

He found that this document did not seem to be handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D. by the National Security Agency, but rather something that was investigated by the Strategic Science Corps, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In other words, Fury is likely to know the existence of the Emperor's plan before.

And this "assessment" was just his putting his hand into the plan openly.

There is not much dry content in this document, just some simple descriptions about the emperor's plan, mainly about the origin and evolution process of this plan and this organization.

"The Emperor Project originated in 1943. On the Pacific battlefield of World War II, the USS Lawton (Lawton), a ship responsible for transporting military supplies, was attacked and sunk by a huge creature while sailing. Nearly a thousand people on the Lawton were all killed. (Note : It was later found out that the famous archaeologist Professor Landa was one of the few survivors of the Lawton, and Professor Landa died in the 'Skull Island' exploration accident in 1973.)”

"In 1946, in order to cover up the supernatural phenomenon behind the USS incident, President Truman secretly set up the 'Imperial Organization'. This is a team that specializes in investigating unidentified giant creatures on Earth."

"In 1954, taking advantage of the opportunity of the victory of World War II, the Monarch Organization achieved globalization. In August of that year, the Monarch Organization truly captured the traces of giant creatures for the first time. The military was very frightened by this. Therefore, led by General Eisenhower, in the Pacific Ocean A nuclear test of a hydrogen bomb was conducted on Bikini Atoll."

"Its real purpose was to attack and destroy the super-giant creature code-named Godzilla (Godzilla) that appeared in the Pacific Ocean, but it ended in failure."

"During the Cold War, the Emperor Organization has always been independent of government agencies and has its own funding channels and personnel structure. However, after the Skull Island incident in 1973, the Emperor Organization, which was on the verge of disbandment, was incorporated into the National Security Bureau system and continued to Searching the globe for traces of supergiant creatures."

"However, due to Dr. Landa's accidental death, the emperor's plan lacked qualified commanders, which caused the emperor's plan to be put on hold for a while."

"In May 1991, Japanese scientist Serizawa Shiro and his assistant Vivienne Graham, who had just joined the Imperial Organization, accidentally discovered that in the crater of Mona Island, there were not only KONG and The third super creature besides Godzilla."

"The exact news was immediately taken seriously by the National Security Bureau, and the Emperor's plan was officially restarted."

After reading this, this introduction written from the perspective of S.H.I.E.L.D. ends here.

Merlin frowned, looking at the short report in front of him, from which he could perceive three very important events.

The first is the nuclear test conducted by the US military in Bikini Atoll in 1954. This incident actually happened in history. It is said that its purpose was the US demonstration against the Soviet Union.

But now it seems that the purpose of this matter is not simple.

And this incident also showed that the first super creature tracked by the Emperor's plan was immune to nuclear bomb attacks.

Secondly, in 1973, in a place called Skull Island, the Emperor Project tracked down the second super creature named KONG. Although the information about this matter is unclear, Merlin can guess that this time their contact with KONG was not the same. Not smooth.

Finally, in 1991, in the West Indies, Project Imperial discovered a third super creature.

In other words, this organization with a long history has had extremely limited contact with super creatures so far, but it still exists.

Merlin shook his head. He turned to the second page and found that it was a black and white photo, which should have been taken from the sky.

He picked up the photo. In the photo, there was a boundless sea. In the sea, there was obviously a huge shadow swimming. On the water, a giant creature that looked like a dinosaur could be seen. Three-plated dorsal fin.

On the back of the photo, Godzilla's name is marked.

"Godzilla..."

Merlin narrowed his eyes. The creature in front of him was very similar to the huge monster that appeared from the Pacific Ocean a few days ago when the Cree launched a dismantling beam.

Fury showed him the video taken by the fleet at that time. In the blurry video, the monster, which was at least 120 meters above, absorbed the beam emitted by the Kerry dismantling ship and returned it with a blue light. This saved the earth, which was supposed to fall apart.

In other words, the sea monster named Godzilla is actually the real savior who saves the earth.

"So, you are actually a monster of good intentions."

Merlin pointed his finger at the photo in front of him, and he picked up the second photo, which was a satellite image overlooking the sea from the air. On the satellite image, an island in the sea was outlined with a red pen, very similar to It looks like a skeleton.

On the back of the photo, there are a few words written.

"Skull Island-KONG"

The third photo is a color photo. It is a volcano. In the photo, many American soldiers can be seen building fortifications at the crater.It should be an active volcano, and smoke is coming out of the crater.

There are also a few words written on the back of this photo.

"Mona Island - Rodan"

This is all the information in Merlin's hands.

To be honest, Merlin looked a little confused. Although the existence of Godzilla has been confirmed, the other two super creatures have no real photos to show their existence, which makes it difficult for Merlin to imagine their appearance.

However, Fury has promised that tomorrow, personnel from the Emperor Project will take Merlin to the West Indies to conduct a safety assessment of the two super creatures that they can currently locate.

What Fury means is that Merlin is not just going to make a simple evaluation, it is best to find out the specific composition of the emperor's organization and some secrets hidden in this organization.

This is not difficult for Merlin.

And after reading these materials, Merlin himself was very interested in these super creatures that only existed in legends.

He was looking forward to tomorrow's evaluation project.

Early the next morning, Merlin took a helicopter from base 084 in Nevada to the airport in Florida, where members of the Monarch Project would greet him.

And Merlin didn't set off alone, beside him, there was a "professional assistant" specially arranged by Fury for him.

Coincidentally, that was Merlin's acquaintance.

"Miss Maria Hill, why are you staring at me?"

Merlin leaned on the seat of the helicopter, and he looked at the young lady opposite him who was wearing a suit, high heels, carrying a suitcase, and wearing glasses, pretending to be a civil servant.

The lady had short brown hair with slanted bangs in front of her forehead, and she had a delicate face with a calm gleam in those pale blue eyes.When she is not talking, she always gives people a serious feeling.

But in fact, Merlin has seen another posture of this lady, that weak and helpless expression after a mental breakdown. At that time, she was no different from an ordinary college graduate.Seriousness and calmness are her disguises.

Yes, this girl is the rookie agent who was scared and cried by Merlin at Pegasus Base.

Not seen for a few days, she has completed her agent training and became one of the first recruits after the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D.

And it seems that Fury expects a lot from her and trusts her a lot, that's why he asked Hill to follow Merlin to perform the assessment task.

But now, the Level 1 agent was quietly looking at Merlin, who seemed to be resting, with his eyes closed, with a mixture of anger and curiosity.

Merlin couldn't hide her small movements. In the dark perception, Agent Hill's movements of turning his head and blinking were so clear that Merlin couldn't ignore them at all.

So he asked directly:

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

When Merlin spoke suddenly, Hill was startled. She hurriedly lowered her head, shook her head, and said softly:

"No, there isn't, sir. Your face is well washed."

"Then why do you keep looking at me?"

Merlin opened his eyes, he looked at Agent Hill, he could feel the nervousness of the novice agent in front of him, he said:

"Have you seen me before?"

"No, sir!"

Hill raised her head, she looked at Merlin with a calm look, and she replied:

"We're meeting for the first time."

"No! We are not!"

Merlin shook his head, and said to the surprised Hill:

"You recognize me, don't you?"

Merlin's sharp gaze behind the glasses made Hill feel a little overwhelmed. After a few seconds, she pursed her lips and nodded.

"Yes, I recognize you, sir. You were at Pegasus Base, where you knocked out 5 agents' attackers in five minutes. You let me go that day, but it turned out that I, and Other novice agents have to go through a more rigorous combat assessment before graduation."

"Well, it was my fault."

Merlin shrugged, looked at Hill, and asked:

"But I'm more curious, how did you recognize me?"

"Your voice, sir."

Hill did not hide anything, she said frankly:

"I grew up learning music, and if it wasn't for my parents, I'd be more likely to be a musician than a secret agent. But the nice thing about studying music for years is that I can pick out those unique parts of everyone's voice."

"Although you deliberately emphasized the tone that day, sir, in the field of voice, just such a disguise is not enough."

Hill pointed to her ear, she said:

"Unless you use a voice changer, I can clearly distinguish your voice."

"good."

Merlin nodded. He leaned on the chair and said to Hill:

"I know now why Fury recruited you. You have special talents, which is good."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir."

Hill still had that calm expression, and she expressed her thanks very restrainedly.But Merlin's next words made Hill frown.

"Give me the gun in your arms and the dagger in your sleeve after you get off the plane."

Merlin looked out the window at the approaching airport, and said softly:

"This time it's an assessment mission. In name, we are the staff of the World Security Council. I don't want people from the Emperor Organization to doubt our identities. Don't bring guns and anything else that will reveal your identity!"

"What if we are in danger?"

Hill asked in a low voice:

"What if we need to save ourselves? Weapons are very important at that time."

"Trust me, little Hill."

Merlin looked out the window and said softly:

"If you encounter danger on the territory of the Emperor Organization, a small pistol and dagger will not be able to protect you... The things this organization is researching, relying on bullets, cannot be defeated."

"Then we should be more prepared in advance."

Hill frowned and said to Merlin:

"Sir, it is a necessary ability for agents to prepare for possible dangers in advance."

"Don't worry, little Hill."

Merlin turned around, pushed his glasses, and showed a gentle smile to Hill, he said:

"I'm here."

"When in danger, I can at least bring you out safely."

Merlin's answer stunned new agent Hill for a moment, but recalling Merlin's battle scene at Pegasus Base, Hill couldn't help but nodded again.

Although as an opponent, Merlin would make people feel intimidated.

But now he is a teammate, a senior, and an officer, which makes Hill feel at ease.

A few minutes later, the helicopter landed on the edge of this remote airport. Hill handed the pistol, dagger and the documents in the box to Merlin. Hand over the documents to Hill.

After the plane stabilized, Merlin let out a sigh of relief, making himself behave more like a public researcher.

It's not difficult, Merlin's glasses already gave him a bookish look, as long as he hides his aggressiveness, he looks like a real researcher.Not to mention Agent Hill.

She is different from an action expert like Merlin. She learned camouflage skills in the Secret Service Academy, which was taught by the black widow Natasha herself.

Hill pulled a pair of round, gold-rimmed glasses from her pocket, brushed her hair back, and painted her lips with light lipstick, making her look like a perfect research assistant.

Merlin jumped off the plane, covered his hair, and reached out to support Hill's arm very gentlemanly.

In front of the two of them, there was already a lady in a short skirt waiting for them.

"Hello, Dr. Merlin, I am a third-level researcher of the Emperor Organization."

This young lady with a South American Latin style extended her hand towards Merlin. She smiled and introduced herself:

"My name is Vivian Graham, you can call me Vivian."

"Hello, Ms. Vivian."

Merlin smiled and shook hands with the lady, he said softly:

"I'm Merlin...Merlin Nicholas Grant. This is my assistant Dawris."

As he spoke, he showed a trace of interest belonging to a researcher, and he said to Vivian in front of him:

"I can't wait to meet Dr. Serizawa. His research on the behavior of ancient deep-sea creatures made me suddenly enlightened. Is he here now?"

"No, the tutor is not here."

Vivian showed a hint of apology, she pointed to the plane behind her and said:

"The mentor is waiting for you on Mona Island. We are happy to accept the assessment and supervision of the World Security Council. In fact, for the current situation, we really need more resources to study those..."

"Ancient Titan."
