Chapter 335 16. I don't agree with this marriage! - Thanks to the Taipal Brothers, the village head of Xinshou Village, for the Silver Alliance【910】

"boom"

Whitehall's body fell in this secret, unknown underground laboratory.

The expression on his face was definitely not peaceful, his eyes gleamed with pain, and as he was dying, the sweat was oozing from his forehead.He instinctively tried to breathe more air, but the life force he snatched from Jiaying was no longer enough to support him to continue living.

He is still in good health, even healthier than some young people in their 30s.

But his soul was already full of cracks due to the excavation of the Dementia Curse, and it might be shattered in the next moment.

He was dying.

"The obelisk..."

Merlin ignored the dying Whitehall, he had already plundered enough information from Whitehall's mind, and identified the last Hydra leader in the New York area, a guy named "Chief", and of course A clue to the mysterious man who rescued Whitehall from the prison of the Strategic Science Corps.

He took the box brought by Whitehall from the soldier next to him controlled by the Imperius Curse, and pointed his wand over the box. Under the effect of the Unlocking Curse, the combination lock of the box made a light click It made a sound, and opened outwards in the next moment.

The pale golden obelisk with an irregular geometric shape and various strange notches lay in the box.

This thing exudes a kind of cold power, and Merlin can feel that a dangerous energy is flowing on the surface of the obelisk, as long as he is a little careless, he will be counterattacked by that power.

Fortunately, he learned the correct holding posture of the obelisk from Jiaying before.

He first found the most central rune circle among the three large planes on the surface of the obelisk, and then put one finger in it. Then, he used the remaining few fingers to buckle on the corresponding, Several runic circles located on different planes.

This holding method did not activate the power contained in the obelisk, but behind Merlin, seeing that Merlin took the obelisk out of the box safely, the dying Whitehall showed an undisguised look in his eyes. disappointment.

He found this obelisk before 1945, but he has not yet been able to crack the secret of the obelisk. He and his mentor Red Skull are convinced that this obelisk contains the absolute secret of the Inhumans .

Not being able to find that secret is definitely the biggest regret in his life.

"How did you...know about it?"

Whitehall leaned against the corner with difficulty, his mind was constantly echoing with great pain, his nostrils were bleeding, and he asked word by word:

"You know, its secret?"

"I know."

Merlin looked back at the soul that was about to dissipate, and said:

"Jiaying who was dissected by you, the alien who gave you a second life, she told me all the secrets about this thing."

"Jiaying?"

There was a flash of understanding in Whitehall's eyes, and his tone became weak.

"It turns out that her name is Jiaying...Okay, okay. It seems that if you do something bad, you will be punished...The secret I wanted to know the most, but I killed it with my own hands."

He looked at Merlin, with a pleading twinkle in his eye, and said:

"I'm... dying, can you, can you tell me that knowledge... please."

"Tell me first, who is Robert? Where did you find this obelisk in 1945?"

Merlin crouched down, he looked at Whitehall.

The Dementia Curse is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to completely read all the details of a person's life in a few seconds. After all, there are some omissions of memories that Merlin cannot see.

He raised the cold obelisk in his hand, and while using the Axi sign to induce Whitehall's will, he said:

"You tell me what I want to know, and you tell me what you want to know."

"On a small island in the Atlantic Ocean."

Whitehall shook his head, breathing weakly, and said to Merlin:

"There is a cemetery, the cemetery of aliens... There is a small starship that has fallen in it. The technology at that time was not able to quickly clean up that cemetery while keeping the main body. The war did not allow us to stay for a long time, so we just Just took this obelisk... that alien, I've seen him, he's... he's blue."

"alien?"

Merlin's eyes widened:

"The origin of aliens has something to do with aliens?"

"Ha ha."

Whitehall gave a sardonic, feeble smile, and said:

"They...professed to be noble, they...are just slaves! It's your turn...Tell me, the secret, and I'll tell you...Who is Robert."

"The obelisk contains the Terrigen crystal used for the transformation of aliens. Your guess is correct. This thing is indeed an important item inherited by aliens, but it is also dangerous."

Merlin said to Whitehall:

"The obelisk can only be opened with the correct method, any other attempt will lead to disastrous results."

"After the crystal in the obelisk is fully released, it is enough to infect all life forms in a small town. Only people with alien genes can survive and complete the transformation. Other lives will be transformed into inorganic substances."

"You should be thankful that you didn't 'violently open the box', otherwise you and your subordinates would have died!"

"Now it's your turn."

Merlin strengthened the strength of Axi's seal, he asked:

"Tell me, who is Robert?"

And Whitehall's consciousness at this time was on the verge of disintegration, which made the Axi seal lose its effect. Facing Merlin's question, he answered the wrong question and said:

"Go to...that cemetery, there is an instrument there that can...open it."

"boom"

Whitehall gave Merlin the last clue, as if he had completely completed his mission, the expression on his face froze, and his breathing completely stopped at this moment.

Merlin confirmed that Whitehall was dead, he stood up and looked at the corpse at his feet.

Whitehall's death isn't something to mourn, but it's disappointing not being able to find the last missing piece of the puzzle.

He frowned, thinking about the information he got from Whitehall's mind, the inner secrets about Hydra.

Especially that "Robert".

Merlin can be sure that this is definitely not the real name of the guy who released Whitehall, but with only one name, he has no way of finding information about the current leader of Hydra.

After a while, Merlin took out the page of the Dark God Book from his pocket, then took out a pen, and wrote a sentence on the yellowed parchment.

"Who is Robert in Whitehall's memory?"

"To give, or to give back?"

This answer was expected by Merlin. He curled his lips and wrote:

"What do you give? What do you want to give back?"

"Searching for the secret of the infinite formula."

"Within 3 months, become lovers with one or more of Carol Danvers, Maria Hill, Elizabeth Braddock, and Elsa Bloodstone."

Two options quickly emerged on the parchment, the former is not bad, it is the same style of seeking mystery as before, but the latter and that note... what the hell?

The Dark God Book is trying to induce me to choose the second option?

why?

Merlin frowned and wrote again:

"What does this have to do with them?"

The answer from the Dark God Book this time has the same mysterious style as before, and there is also only one sentence:

"Because 'they' want to see."

"'who are they?"

Merlin wrote down this question on the parchment with a pen, but this time, his handwriting did not appear on the parchment at all. The Dark God Book seemed to have no interest at all, and he was unwilling to answer this question, even accepting this question. .

Merlin looked at the two options in front of him. He didn't hesitate too long, picked up the pen, and drew a circle on the first option.

It's not that he doesn't like the four female friends listed, he just doesn't like being disturbed by external forces and making a choice on such a fairly formal matter, not to mention the secrets he knows, and the things he's doing. It is a heavy and dangerous burden.

At least until the Hydra incident is over, he is unwilling to start a relationship.

"Swish"

The black, snake-like cold energy ran along the pages of the book, wrapped around Merlin's fingers, and quickly turned into shackles, locked on Merlin's right arm, just like the feeling brought by the shackles before, weak Acupuncture, and blocked part of the magic power.

Merlin has tried it before, and before completing the task, it is impossible to undo the shackles extended by the power of the god of the underworld, Xithorn.

A paragraph of words quickly emerged on the parchment, which was the news that Merlin wanted to see.

"Robert Redford, is a hidden identity."

"In 1970, a captain used this identity to carry out secret activities on the Vietnam battlefield. He spent the most memorable years of his life there, so he regarded this hidden identity as his second name."

When the information is written here, it seems that some kind of interference has occurred, making it impossible for the next text to appear.

A few seconds later, another line of text appeared before Merlin's eyes, explaining this strange situation:

"The former holder once used the dark divine book to set a protective spell on that real name."

"Unless Mrs. Hydra really dies, or gets the complete Dark Book, it is impossible to continue revealing the secret."

"Any prophecy and divination magic will be invalid for 'Robert'."

This answer did not satisfy Merlin, he thought for a while, swiped his pen, and wrote down another question.

"You failed to give me complete information, the mission is void?"

The parchment hesitated for more than ten seconds, and then slowly withdrew the energy shackles on Merlin's right arm with a very reluctant gesture.

Merlin chuckled, and wrote down another question with a pen.

"Is this captain the current Hydra leader?"

The parchment gave the answer.

"Maybe."

"Is he in S.H.I.E.L.D. now?"

"Maybe."

Seeing that the parchment began to repeat meaninglessly again, Merlin shook his head, and put away this unreliable parchment that was trying to control other major events in his life.

To be honest, Merlin had suspected before that it might not be the god of the underworld Sithorn talking to him behind this page. In the words of the demigod Ye Jackal, Sithorn is already the kind of life that has reached the top of the universe. He shouldn't be so boring as to pay attention to such a small agent like himself.

From the question and answer this time, Merlin was basically sure that the one who talked to him through this page was most likely not Sithorne.

It should be a group of guys who are very idle, know everything, and hope to do something.

Merlin looked at the obelisk in his hand with a little disappointment. He looked at the weird runes around the obelisk. The interlacing of circles and lines seemed meaningless.

But Merlin's expression became weird under observation.

He took out a piece of paper, gently pasted it on every corner of the obelisk, and then manipulated his magic power to pick up a pencil, like an invisible hand rubbing the runes on the surface of the obelisk.

After a while, Merlin spread out the rubbed paper and put it in front of his eyes.

It was a densely packed, meaningless and irregular figure composed of lines of different thicknesses and rings of different sizes.

Like a weird password.

Merlin looked at the picture in front of him, rubbing his chin, lost in thought.

This should be some kind of secret language, or simply an encrypted map.

Most importantly, he had seen this kind of interlaced symbols and lines before!

In Ronan the Accuser's flagship Dark Asterisk, there are many similar weird graphics, that is to say, this thing is related to the Kree?

Merlin looked at the obelisk shining coldly under the light in front of him, his eyes narrowed.

"Whitehall has studied the aliens all his life, and his understanding of the history of the aliens is even deeper than those of the real aliens. He said that the aliens are slaves of the aliens...the aliens belong to the Cree slave?"

"How is this possible? Carroll said that Ronan and his fleet clearly arrived on Earth for the first time, and their mark on Earth is C-53...representing an unexplored world, but Whitehall He also said that there is a cemetery of aliens and a crashed starship on an island in the Atlantic Ocean, he should not lie to me about this matter."

"The Cree came to the earth before, and it is estimated that it was a long time ago, before the birth of human history. They created aliens at that time? But why, why did they throw aliens on the earth again? "

"and many more."

Merlin stretched out his fingers, rubbed his forehead, and said:

"If I remember correctly, there should be two Cree prisoners of war in the isolated island prison. When this is over, I will find a way to ask them about the Cree and Inhumans."

He looked down at the obelisk, thought for a while, and then simply took out the pages of the Dark God Book.

He had a more convenient way to open the obelisk than to look for the illusory cemetery in the Atlantic Ocean.

Merlin wrote on the parchment:

"I'll take over the task just now. Tell me how to open the obelisk in this laboratory without destroying the integrity of the obelisk. Is it a deal?"

A few seconds later, with the cold energy returning to Merlin's right arm, a word also appeared on the parchment in front of him.

"make a deal!"
