Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 58 16. Fury's Call

Rabid Morris is a demigod!

Merlin had guessed this for a long time, but he was really sure when he really sensed Morris' aura that was as thick as a wall and as hot as a flame.

Morris really is the real son of the devil.

And he and Merlin are completely two extremes.Merlin has been restraining the erosion of self-magic power, trying every means to preserve the purity of human reason and soul, but Morris is doing the opposite. He allows the magic power to infect himself, and actively accepts the dark power, Immerse yourself in it.

The moment Morris poked his head out, Merlin could clearly see that the pupils of Morris' eyes had completely turned into burning flames, and on his smooth scalp, there was also horniness similar to demon scales.

The bloatedness of his body was not caused by obesity, but because the muscles of his body were continuously strengthened under the stimulation of dark magic power, which had already caused his body to appear distorted.

Morris is losing the last shred of his humanity.

The transformation of a half-demon begins with the soul. Once the body shows signs of demonization, it means that the soul has been transformed.After his body is completely distorted by the dark force, Morris will have a true half-devil form.

From then on, he is no longer a human being, nor will he completely become a demon.

That would be the worst possible fusion of two species, and a true monster would be born.

"Swish"

At the moment when Morris was facing each other, Merlin subconsciously grasped the black fighting knife on his waist, and he was ready to put all his eggs in one basket.

However, Morris acted as if he hadn't seen him. The bald head skipped over where Merlin was standing. He looked around and showed a puzzled expression.

He didn't see Merlin!He failed to find Merlin under the shadow cloak!

opportunity!

The moment Morris turned his head, Merlin quickly followed the opened window and slipped out of the fourth floor.With the fastest speed, he rushed out of the base camp of the hell mad dog.

Merlin 2 years ago may have been a little reckless, but after experiencing so many things, he has learned to be cautious.

He still doesn't know Morris's strength and background, let alone Morris's background, so if he starts a war rashly, the chance of winning is very small.

The defective half-demon made by Morris can resist bullets and grenade explosions, so Morris's ability must be even more amazing. To deal with such a half-demon, Merlin must be fully prepared.

At the very least, he had to find some methods or weapons that could effectively kill the demons.

A few minutes later, Merlin was back in the car.

He picked up the brick mobile phone he was issued with a sullen expression, dialed a number, and after a while, the call was connected.Nick Fury's voice sounded in the microphone:

"Were you busy just now?"

"You almost killed me, Fury."

Merlin said angrily:

"I was collecting information about a dangerous half-demon just now, and the information you sent almost exposed me."

Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Merlin's mind.He pondered for a moment, and tentatively said to Fury:

"But Fury, I found something. The half-demon I tracked down just now is transforming ordinary people in Manhattan, turning them into monsters in an extremely cruel way, and I suspect that it is planning some very dangerous things. thing."

"I heard you said before that in the Strategic Science Corps, there is a master who is responsible for dealing with supernatural phenomena, right? Can you ask him to help me deal with this dangerous half-demon?"

"not now."

Fury replied with some embarrassment:

"After Kohler came to power, he began to hunt down our secrets. I have sent that master to Europe for temporary shelter. Now that he is back, he can easily be caught by Kohler."

"The incompetent again?"

A trace of disgust flashed in Merlin's eyes, and he said:

"Can't we get rid of that incompetent and obstructive bastard? Let Button lie in ambush, and he can be easily eliminated with one arrow."

"and then?"

Fury was also a little helpless, he said:

"After Kohler is solved, the people behind him will send another one, who may be more difficult to deal with than Kohler. Moreover, political assassination will cause endless troubles."

"Let's not talk about Kohler for now. His existence is just an unnecessary trouble. Come to my safe house immediately, Merlin. Something happened, and it's very important."

"I need your strength."

"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes."

Hearing Fury's solemn tone, Merlin didn't hesitate too much. He turned the car around and drove towards Fury's safe house in Brooklyn.

Twenty minutes later, Merlin came to an old residential area. He parked the car in the underground parking lot, took the elevator all the way to the 20th floor, looked around, and sensed the situation in the room with his dark sense. , After confirming that Fury was among them, he knocked on the door.

3 rhythmic taps, then 2 rapid taps, and finally 4 rhythmic taps.

Although the time has come to 1992, the ancient and effective method of secret code is still popular among the spy community.

"Snapped"

The door was opened, and Fury looked at Merlin, nodded to him, and signaled him to come in.

Merlin walked into the living room, he seemed to be the last to arrive, the living room was already full of people.

There was Agent Barton whom he knew, Agent Victoria Hand whom he had met once, and a middle-aged man who he didn't know with a tough aura who was sitting on the sofa and smoking a cigar.

Finally, there was an acquaintance that Merlin hadn't expected.

More than a month ago, the black widow Natasha Romanov was just "invited" back.

She was leaning against the window, obviously out of the same circle as the other three.And when she saw Merlin walk into the room, Natasha winked at him covertly, as if greeting him.

"Let me introduce you, Merlin."

Fury closed the door, turned around, and said to Merlin:

"You have already met Agent Hand. The gentleman next to her is John Gartler, the senior secret service director of the European Division. He is also an excellent agent personally recruited by Ms. Carter. He just flew from the European Division to New York. Come help us."

"Hello."

Merlin nodded friendly to the old agent in front of him. The latter was smoking a cigar and exhaled two puffs of smoke from his nostrils. He looked at Merlin with sharp eyes. After a while, he turned his head to look at Fury, he said :

"The others are fine. Both you and Hand are my old friends for many years. I am absolutely assured of you. I have also heard about the abilities of Barton and Natasha, and I don't have much for them. Worrying. But this kid..."

"Fury, are you sure you want to let him participate in this operation? Even if you count the time in the Secret Service Academy, he has been an agent for less than a year."

John Gartler looked at Fury, and he said seriously:

"This isn't a game, or some bloody test... this time we're going to be on the battlefield. You might as well call Felix or Weaver."

"Felix is ​​far away in North Africa, and the mission Agent Weaver is carrying out is shady. I don't have much choice, Gatler."

Fury shook his head, and he said to the others:

"Don't worry, everyone. I assure you, Merlin will not hold us back. In fact, I plan to hand over the most critical part of this operation to him!"

"I agree!"

The silent Hawkeye Barton nodded, agreeing with Fury's proposal.And Natasha, the black widow who was leaning aside, also flicked her fingers and said softly:

"Well, indeed, there is no one more suitable than Merlin to rescue the hostages."

"Hey, wait!"

Merlin was still a little confused about the situation, he looked at everyone in front of him, he raised his hand, interrupting their discussion, he looked back at Fury, he asked:

"So what the hell is going on? Why did the old cowboy say we were going to war? Did you call me here just to take me to war?"

"Almost, Merlin."

Agent Victoria Hand pushed his glasses, and introduced Merlin with a very rational voice:

"We just received news that riots broke out in the capital of Panama, a South American country. A group of anti-government armed forces broke into the embassy and took many hostages. We will rescue the hostages from there as quickly as possible."

"Why us?"

Merlin asked again: "Shouldn't there be someone to do these things?"

"Because Pierce is among those hostages."

Fury said in a serious and heavy tone.

"Pierce? That's not our..."

Merlin looked back at Fury, who nodded and said softly:

"It is our backstage in the World Security Council and the former leader of the Strategic Science Corps. This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Poor Pierce just landed in Panama, preparing for a round of summit talks. As a result, within an hour, a rebellion broke out in the capital. The group of bloody rebels did not capture the parliament building or take over the communication station. Entered the embassy and got Pierce caught."

Agent John Gartler took off the cigar in his hand, let out a playful laugh, and said:

"It seems that the people behind Kohler don't plan to wait any longer. They want to cut off the backbone of us and kick us out."

"Yes."

Fury stretched out his hand and put it on Merlin's shoulder. He said:

"If Pierce is killed by the 'insurgents', then the possibility of us wanting to take back the Strategic Science Corps is completely zero. Without Pierce standing for us in the World Security Council, Kohler and the wolves behind him will put Every piece of meat on our bodies was eaten clean."

"Merlin, I don't have much time for you to prepare. We have to leave for Panama immediately, and this matter must be resolved before dawn."

Fury said to Merlin:

"A few of us are responsible for breaking into the embassy and attracting firepower. And you, you are responsible for breaking into the basement of the embassy and rescuing Pierce and everyone else. Is there a problem?"

"No problem."

Merlin shrugged. He glanced back at the five people in the room. He lowered his voice and said to Fury:

"But is the situation so dire now? Do all of you commanders need to go to the battlefield desperately? What about the others under your command?"

"Kohler is still the nominal director. Even if he mobilizes agents from the European branch, he will be aware of it."

Fury explained softly:

"That Kohler guy can't do things well, but he's good at messing up one thing."

"If he sensed that we were going to rescue Pierce, Pierce's head would have fallen before we arrived. In fact, the news of Pierce's capture has not yet officially reached Congress. Temporarily blocked the news."

"Not only do we have to save Pierce, but we also have to save his face and his position on the World Security Council, which is the last thing that matters."

After Fury finished speaking, Agent Gartler stood up like an old cowboy, walked behind Merlin, and said to Merlin in a joking tone:

"And now, this important task rests on your shoulders. Agent Merlin, if you accidentally miss it, the future of us people will be dark."

Merlin wasn't worried about this, he was puzzled by another question.

He told Fury and Gartler:

"If it's just to save people, wouldn't it be enough for me to go alone? It's more convenient and faster to go alone."

This question caused Agent Gartler to show a nervous expression, and Fury's face was also a little weird. He coughed lightly and explained:

"You can't handle this matter alone, Merlin, trust me. You need support, you only need guidance, and most importantly, you can't cover the evacuation of so many wounded by yourself."

"And these old foxes, it is impossible for you to take all the credit alone."

A light and fluttering voice came over.The black widow Natasha leaned against the window, she folded her arms and explained to Merlin:

"Think about it, little Merlin. Our officers led us, risking life and death, to break into the army from a long distance, and rescue our boss who was in trouble from the brink of hell."

"This is a life-saving grace!"

"As long as Pierce can gain a firm foothold in the World Security Council, then the future career paths of our Chief Fury and Chief Gartler will definitely be bright."

At this point, Merlin finally understood why he had to bring so many people together for a rescue mission that he could complete alone.

He shrugged and said nothing more.

Those standing here are indeed a group of old fried dough sticks!

But it doesn't matter, they are on their side now, that's enough.
