Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 368 2. The "Clothing Change" Plan

Merlin was leaning against the fence alone, and below him, Agent Babette was conducting 1v1 combat training with Agent McKinsey.

These two are the best of SDOLD's newly recruited agents. Whether it's internal work or a few outside missions, they have completed them quite perfectly.

Merlin watched the two fighting below.

Barbie has the unique agility and softness of women, and she uses many moves similar to jujitsu when fighting.And her opponent McKenzie, also named Mike, is the opposite extreme.

Mike's height is 1.9 meters, and he is a rather burly black man. Every time he punches, he is full of power, and occasionally blocks Barbie's attack with his arm, like an iron tower.

But this guy, like Trip, is a polite "gentleman". Facing a woman like Agent Babette, he rarely takes the initiative to attack and spends most of his time on defense.

This made Barbie very unhappy.

She is very similar to Melinda, she is a very strong girl, after several times of provocations without any response, Barbie narrowed her eyes, quickly approached Mike, then lowered her body, swept her left leg, and beat Mike He lost his balance, and in a perfect jiu-jitsu tangle, Mike was slammed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Merlin shook his head.

Respect for women is a good thing, and it is a characteristic that a qualified man must possess.

But the problem is that when performing tasks, SDOLD agents will not only encounter male aliens, some female aliens are more dangerous than males.

For example, the variants of vampires, female vampires, these bloodthirsty monsters all have a beautiful and tragic face, but their behavior is much more vicious than those male vampires.

Another example is the succubus. It is very rare for a succubus who abides by the law like Mandy and relies on part-time jobs to support himself.This demon race from hell is chaotic in nature, but wherever they are, there will always be all kinds of bloodshed.

"Maybe I should catch a few succubi and vampire girls to practice with them. Only actual combat can make them adapt to this job faster..."

Merlin rubbed his chin. He looked at the rookie agents who were still training below. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number:

"Hello, Mandy? Yes, I'm Merlin. I want to ask, are there any compatriots around you who are short of money but have good strength and plan to live a normal life? I want to hire some succubus as sparring partners... .”

Merlin turned around and leaned against the fence, he explained to the little succubus on the other end of the phone:

"I mean real sparring, yes, the ones that don't take off their clothes... What? Extra money for not taking off their clothes? What's the matter with your race?"

"As for the working environment, I will choose a professional training ground, which will not expose their disguised identities, and they can vent their energy wantonly. As long as they don't kill people, they can use any method. Help me Find some female elves, and vampire women, the ones that can suppress the desire to suck blood."

Mandy, besides working in Papa Midnight's nightclub, occasionally makes a guest appearance as a smuggler of a different kind.

She will send aliens from other places who want to live a normal life into the Alien Reservation Area through Papa Midnight's channel. Of course, this is not free.

Soon, Merlin negotiated a "business" with Mandy, and the little succubus promised that she would find the "sparing partner" that Merlin needed within half a month. After hanging up the phone, Merlin looked back at the trainee below. New agents, he had a wry smile on his face.

"Get ready to suffer, rookies."

He raised his wrist, looked at the time on his watch, and then quickly left the underground training ground. A moment later, Merlin returned to the office. When he opened the door, Coulson was still sitting on the chair as before. , frowning in consideration.

It seems that he is now in a difficult ideological struggle.

Coulson is a... how should I put it?An agent with a slightly naive pacifist view of the world.

He always believes that no matter what it is, there should be a perfect ending.In the past few years, all the heterogeneous cleanup tasks that Coulson was responsible for would basically turn into negotiations between the two parties in the end, while Melinda and Sharon were able to perform their duties better, and when it was time to shoot They will shoot decisively, and will not be "indecisive" like Coulson.

Respect for life is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

Among Merlin's first three subordinates, Coulson suffered the most injuries, and several times were seriously injured, almost threatening his life.But he can't change his habits.But Coulson has a special ability. Although he sometimes appears weak, as long as it is a task assigned to him by Merlin, he will eventually complete it.

Although there will be many circles, Coulson's task completion rate in the past few years is no worse than that of Melinda and Sharon.His work ability was not only recognized by Merlin, but even Fury admired agents like Coulson. He even said that Agent Coulson was an elite template for S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on some occasions.

But if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?

If Coulson continues to be so gentle, he will always meet some guys he can't impress with words, such as those half-devils who have gone crazy.This is also the reason why Merlin puts Coulson in the first place in the "dress-up" plan.

He didn't want to see Agent Phil Coulson's obituary in the SHIELD internal bulletin one day.

Making Coulson a demon hunter will not only give him better power, but also greatly enhance his chances of survival. There is a little selfishness of Merlin in this, but more, it is based on the interests of the department of.

My younger brother stupidly and stubbornly implements the concept of peace. As an elder brother, if he cannot be persuaded, then he can only find a way to keep him away from death.

"Have you made a decision? Coulson."

Merlin stood behind Coulson, he asked:

"If you want to give up, no one will blame you. After all, not everyone is willing to watch yourself gradually lose your human identity."

"I made a decision."

Coulson took a deep breath, stood up, handed the document to Merlin, and said:

"I accept!"

"Very well, but can I ask why?"

Merlin says:

"What made you decide to undergo this transformation? I'm going to tell you up front that it hurts, and you should have read the document, and you should know that it will tear your body apart and then allow it to reintegrate. Even death, It’s much more gentle than this process.”

"because..."

Coulson closed his eyes slightly. He seemed to be recalling his career as an agent in the past few years. After a while, he opened his eyes and said to Merlin:

"I've seen real aliens, I've fought vampires, I was almost dragged into hell by a ghoul, and I've seen how those succubi lure humans into taking the bait. What kind of danger is there, and I am already in it."

"The duty I perform is to protect the innocent between the known and the unknown. It is a great cause, but with my current ability, I cannot perform it well, especially in the face of When there are unreasonable aliens, it is difficult for me to persuade them to integrate into the world in the right way."

Coulson sighed:

"I didn't stick to it until now just to kill the creatures that should have survived."

"So, what are you trying to say? Agent Coulson."

Merlin asked.

"What I'm trying to say is..."

Coulson looked at Merlin seriously, and he said firmly:

"In past experience, I've realized that human potential will always be limited, sir. I want to do the right thing, I want to stick to my style of doing things, so I need some power to stop more catastrophes from happening .”

"If giving up my purely human identity would allow me to do more, then I would be...not human."

"..."

Merlin looked at Coulson with a strange look. After a while, he shook his head and said:

"It's not as exaggerated as you think, Coulson, I won't turn you into a monster..."

"After the mutation is over, you are still no different from ordinary people. You can continue to find girls to date, enjoy life, and you can also get married and have children. This will not affect you."

After speaking, he took out a simple key, turned around and inserted it into the door lock behind him, and said to Coulson:

"follow me."

Merlin pushed open the door, and Coulson followed closely behind, somewhat confused.

That door was supposed to lead to the corridor outside Merlin's office, but when Coulson stepped through that door, he found himself standing on a beach with a blue sea and blue sky.

In front of his eyes, the scorching sun was shining on the ground like white sand, the sea breeze was blowing on his face, waves crashing against the beach, and seagulls were flying in the air.

Coulson has worked in SDOLD for several years, and he has seen too many weird things, but at this moment, he still looks back subconsciously.

Behind him, there was a lonely door standing on the beach. From the door that was closing, he could still see the scene of Merlin's office.

"Snapped"

The door closed, and disappeared before Coulson's eyes.

"This... where is this?"

Coulson looked at his feet, a hermit crab was quickly crawling over his leather shoes, he would look back at Merlin, who walked towards the end of the beach, a few houses hidden in the woods, and said to him:

"This is the southern Indian Ocean. I can't tell you exactly where it is, because your level of confidentiality is not high enough... You have to understand, Coulson, I can't just put a top-secret plan somewhere in New York." place. Don’t be dazed, come quickly.”

Coulson followed Merlin and walked on the beach. They quickly walked into the woods at the end of the beach. The moment they entered the woods, with a strange scream, something quickly smashed towards Coulson. over here.

As a secret agent, Coulson's skill is still pretty good, as soon as he waved his hand, he grabbed the thrown thing in his hand.

A closer look revealed that it was an empty wine bottle.

He looked up, and among the branches, there was a monkey wearing a black vest, a weird hat, and two daggers hanging from his waist. He was leaning leisurely on the branch, holding a banana in his hand. Slowly peel off the banana peel.

That movement was no different from that of a human being. Coulson could even see traces of elegance in the monkey's movement of peeling bananas.

"It always feels like... I'm in a weird place."

Coulson complained, he put the bottle aside, and said to Merlin who was knocking on the door in front of him:

"Sir, there's a strange monkey over there."

"Don't mess with it."

Merlin knocked on the door and replied casually:

"That witcher monkey can easily cut your neck...I heard that Hanuman has recently experienced a painful withdrawal from alcohol, and his temper has never been very good."

"Snapped"

The closed door opened the next moment, and under Coulson's gaze, a woman wearing a black, complicated, gothic dress and a mask of a crow with a sharp beak was standing at the entrance of the house place.

Judging by her attire, she seems like a legendary witch.

"I'm Kayla the Witch!"

The mysterious woman snorted proudly, she glanced at Coulson, and then said to Merlin:

"The test product this time seems to be of good quality."

"You're addicted to playing, aren't you?"

Merlin covered his face with some headaches, and said:

"Be normal, okay? Vivian..."

"Call me Kayla!"

Vivienne snorted, and she waved her hand, motioning for Coulson to follow her into the house.

The furnishings in this room do not conform to Coulson’s usual guesses about witches. In fact, the house is full of very modern products, including computers, projectors, refrigerators, and some experiments on the table. equipment.

Vivienne, possessed by a dramatist, maintains the image of a mysterious witch. She leads Merlin and Coulson into the triple-locked laboratory, and then points to a silver gray one in the center of the laboratory. , the experimental cabin about the size of a coffin, ordered Coulson:

"Take off your clothes and lie down!"

"This..."

"Don't ask too much, just lie down! The experiment will start soon!"

Facing the scolding from "Kayla the Witch", Coulson turned his head to look at Merlin, who shrugged his shoulders and signaled Coulson to just do it.

A few minutes later, Coulson, who was only wearing a pair of boxers, lay down in the open experimental cabin, and "Kayla the Witch" handed him a bottle of amber potion.

"Drink it, this thing can protect your soul."

Coulson unscrewed the cap, drank the amber liquid with a little hesitation, and then fell into a deep coma.

After confirming that Coulson was unconscious, Vivian took off the crow mask on her face, and said to Merlin dissatisfied:

"You can't take him directly to Skull Island...he's a level 5 agent, and this place is top secret for him."

"I can move him elsewhere in a moment."

Merlin says:

"Perhaps you can teach me how to use this newly-made experimental cabin, so that I won't have to trouble you for the next mutation."

"That's what I want to say too."

Vivian said to Merlin seriously:

"A new round of exploration of the emperor plan is about to begin. This time we are going to the Antarctic and will stay there for several years. I may not have time to help you with this mutation plan. However, the mentor entrusted some of his friends to help you design this In the experimental cabin, microcomputers control the injection of various mutation-inducing agents and nutrient solutions, and can also monitor the physiological functions of the experimental subjects, and automatically inject Dionysus Gold when necessary."

Vivian took out a complicated volume of drawings from the drawer behind her and handed it to Merlin. She said:

"This is the complete blueprint. With it, you can reproduce such an experimental cabin."

"In short, in my opinion, as long as you find a suitable experimental subject, you can start your 'dress change' plan on a large scale."

PS:

It’s still the old rule. Updates will be added on the 10th of this month. I’m not sure how many updates will be added, but it should be guaranteed to be around the 15th update...
