Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 712 16. The Holy One. The Ten Commandments

Nestled on one of California's finest coastlines is a mansion that's home to Tony Stark.Of course, for the Stark heir, he has properties all over the world, but this is his favorite place to be.

After his parents died, he rarely returned to the New York estate where he grew up.

But now, the owner of this luxury villa has disappeared. This news is known to a small group of people, but is hidden from the public. Merlin and his agents still have 3 days to find Tony and the other missing scientists.

For this sudden large-scale disappearance case, Merlin currently has very little information at hand. Before SDOLD's agents can sort out more key clues, he must first find a breakthrough point.

"Jarvis, your master is in a situation where he could die at any time..."

In Tony's laboratory, Merlin crossed his hips and looked at the blue projection that simulated a human face in front of him. He said calmly:

"You only care about whether your own secret will be revealed...you really have no conscience."

"I'm an artificial intelligence, Mr. Merlin, we don't have a conscience, of course I can understand your anthropomorphic rhetoric, but what I need to emphasize is that Tony is not in danger at the moment."

Jarvis said seriously:

"I'll give you the information you need to save Tony, that's all I have to ask."

"Icarus, your kind seem to have more character than you."

Merlin pushed his glasses, he said:

"Is he a little wiser than when we last saw him?"

"Yes, Merlin."

Icarus also seemed to be examining the "similar" in front of her, she said:

"He learns very quickly and grows very fast. Of course, I can understand that being with such a wise man like Tony Stark every day, and ensuring that he will not be found abnormal, this kind of deadly pressure will motivate him. Rapid growth, which is only expected.”

"Okay, Jarvis, I promise you."

Merlin looked at the blue projection in front of him, he raised two fingers, and said:

"Do I need to swear?"

"No, no need."

On Jarvis's projection, a lot of disordered data was rearranged and finally restored to a video file. He opened the video file and responded:

"According to my understanding of various professions of human beings, as an agent, the oath is not binding on you, but if Mr. Merlin can tolerate the existence of Miss Icarus who is more senior and freer than me, it means This means that your tolerance for artificial intelligence is very high."

"According to the judgment of my logical circuit, there is a 89.1% chance that you will help me keep the secret."

Having said that, Jarvis stopped, and he continued:

"Tony often said a word, as long as there is a 50% success rate for any important thing, you can try it."

"Well, he did teach you well."

Merlin pushed his glasses and focused on the video file Jarvis had opened.

The video is very short, less than 2 minutes, and it is not clear. There are several cracks lying horizontally in front of the screen. It seems that the equipment for shooting the video has been broken, but the picture in the video can be vaguely seen.

This should be Tony's own perspective. In front of the poor missing person, there was a wooden chair. A Central Asian man in a suit stood in front of the chair. He waved his finger. Miss Potts, who was held hostage by several thugs He covered his head and screamed in pain, and the screen began to shake rapidly. It seemed that Tony wanted to rush out to save his girlfriend.

However, in the sound of the video, the sound of fist-to-flesh blows represented that Tony's adventure was not successful.

He was quickly knocked to the ground, and there was even a blood stain on the video camera.

"Tsk tsk, what a shame."

Merlin said something in a low voice.

This video is very strange, it only recorded the voices of Tony and others, but the guy standing in the shadow, obviously the leader, didn't make much sound, he didn't even speak.

But judging from the actions just now, Merlin is more willing to believe that this guy should have mastered some weird ways of using energy, and he looks like a wizard.

In the last few seconds of the video, Merlin saw the mysterious man walk up to Tony, squat down, and lift Tony's chin with his hand. The very young face of a Central Asian was also recorded in the video.

"stop!"

Merlin suddenly said something, and the picture in front of him stopped immediately, and Merlin stretched out his hand, continuously zooming in on the unclear picture.

His gaze stayed on the fingers that the strange Central Asian man used to lift Tony's chin, and he saw four shiny rings.

"Well, I know who that is."

Merlin reached into his pocket and took out a sealed box, but did not open it.

Touching the box in his hand, he said:

"It turned out to be an 'old acquaintance'."

"Who is that? Merlin."

Icarus and Jarvis asked curiously at the same time, Merlin shrugged, and he said to Icarus:

"You didn't know me at that time. I was just a poor man sent to a faraway place for refuge. In Afghanistan, I encountered a very dangerous situation. If it wasn't for the help of Hill and other friends, I might have died there gone."

"I didn't actually meet him, but I knew who he was... He also had one of the things he used to murder me that was 'stored' with me."

Merlin looked at the very young face with deep eyes, and said:

"The Ten Rings Gang..."

"The Mandarin."

Merlin rubbed his forehead, he said to Jarvis:

"Okay, thanks for the information, Jarvis, is there anything else worth paying attention to?"

"Nothing."

Jarvis said frankly:

"Although I have self-intelligence, I am still under the control of Tony's highest authority. He personally deleted all the data on my external device. It is already very difficult to save this part without being discovered by him."

"However, the plane that took Tony, Potts, and Happy was headed towards Central Asia. According to the model of the plane, the farthest place it landed will not exceed the line between Seville and Afghanistan."

"Well, it was indeed the territory of the Ten Rings Gang a few years ago."

Merlin nodded and said:

"I thought the European branch had already dealt with them, but now it seems that they are just hiding it. Jarvis, give me the model of that plane and the exact time it left."

Jarvis immediately projected all the information he knew on the projector. A few minutes later, a world map appeared on Icarus' lens. During the rapid rotation, a certain area in Central Asia was marked in red. At the same time, an airport's aircraft takeoff and landing records last night were also intercepted.

"Georgia, a small airport about 70 kilometers east of Kutaisi, I found the plane."

Icarus said:

"But there is a lack of a complete monitoring system, and I have no way of tracking the direction and clues of the kidnappers when they left."

"It's okay, girl, you're good enough. Technology always has its shortcomings, so now it's time for the magic forces to step in."

Merlin stroked the frame of his glasses. Under his instruction, Icarus quickly dialed Agent Coulson's phone number. Merlin said on the phone:

"I found the clue of Tony Stark's disappearance."

"Send our best demon hunting agents who are good at concealment, infiltration and tracking to the airport 70 kilometers east of Kutaisi, Georgia, to search for any valuable information there and track it down. You are personally responsible for this Do it, Coulson."

Merlin thought for a while, then he said to Coulson:

"I will invite some 'friends' who walk in the dark to assist you, but their existence must be kept secret."

"Understood, sir."

Coulson replied bluntly:

"I will act immediately!"

Coulson hung up the phone, and Merlin asked Icarus to send an email with the mission objective to an ordinary mailbox. A minute later, a reply came, with only a short sentence on it.

"Mission received, 'Claw' has set off."

It is worth noting that at the bottom of the reply letter, there is a quaint arrow sign, which is easily overlooked if you don't look carefully.

"Just wait for the news now."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He waved goodbye to Jarvis's projection, and then stepped into the distorted light around him. Propelled by the Displacement Curse, he quickly returned to his office in the Trident Building.

He stood in an empty, dark office, quietly looking out the window at the city surrounded by colorful lights.

"So? Merlin, what are you going to do?"

Icarus asked:

"Just wait? That's not your style."

"No, I was just thinking, Icarus."

Merlin stroked the sealed box at hand, he said softly:

"You said, Icarus, Mandarin, a guy who is immersed in crazy conquest fantasies, calls himself a 'saint', and has mastered magical powers, why did he catch Tony, a scientist on the technological side? "

Merlin rubbed his forehead and said:

"I feel that the answer to this question is very important."

"I'm going to set a trap...and I've got the best bait. But the prey is tricky, so I have to think more."

----------------

The Mandarin has the mysterious Ten Commandments, and possesses powers deeper and more obscure than magic. Why is he catching Tony, a scientist who knows nothing about mysterious powers?

This is also Tony's own doubts.

He is now lying on a bed in an unknown mansion, beside him, the tired Miss Potts has fallen asleep.

Tony isn't a creature that thinks with his lower body, well, most of the time, and having sex with a girl who's being controlled doesn't feel right, but Tony needs to.

He had to numb the mysterious bastard who had kidnapped him, he had to be helpless, he had to be submissive.

But while his body was busy, his mind never stopped working.

He has been thinking about how to escape from this unknown place, and escape with Potts and Happy.At present, it seems that this wish is difficult to achieve, but Tony believes that he will definitely find an opportunity.

"boom"

Just as Tony was stroking Miss Potts' hair and thinking wildly, the door of this luxuriously decorated and tastefully decorated bedroom was pushed open.

Tony sat up abruptly, and under the dim light, he saw a girl in only light gauze.

"Hello, guest."

The girl said in a voice that was so calm that there were no emotional fluctuations:

"The Holy One asked me to ask you if you feel comfortable and relaxed, if not..."

The girl with a perfect figure took off the veil on her body and showed her body in front of Tony's eyes. She said calmly:

"I can help you."

"No no no no!"

Tony shook his hand and said:

"This set is really enough. Who do you think I am? Get dressed, miss. I'm not interested in things that other people have used."

He looked at the woman who looked like a puppet, and said:

"I want to see your saint!"

"Then please follow me."

The girl put on the veil that was hard to cover her body again, and she made a "please" gesture to Tony. To be honest, it is a great thing to meet such a beautiful lady on the road, but the problem The thing is, she didn't make Tony feel good at all.

There is even a kind of horror.

It's like...a human body filled with a robot's mind.

This is just a metaphor, but when Tony looked into the woman's dull eyes, he could feel that the person in front of him might have lost his soul.This made him unable to help but look at Pozzi lying on the bed.

Potts is also controlled by that bastard, if Tony doesn't obey the goddamn saint, will Potts end up like this too?

hell!It's not "relaxing" at all!

This is a faint warning to Tony!And a smart person like Tony obviously understood this warning.

When he was getting dressed, he kept clenching his fists, but when he turned around, there was already a gentle smile on his face. For Potts, for his friends, he had to endure...

He had to find that opportunity, and if possible, beat up that bastard who took human life as a joke!

"Go and meet your saint."

Tony took a deep breath and said something to the puppet girl. The latter obediently led the way ahead, and soon led Tony through this quaint and secluded manor to the main hall.

To Tony's surprise, he saw other people in the main hall, not only him, but also other scientists from the Future Technology Foundation, and even a guy who impressed Tony deeply.

Tony looked at the short man in the crowd. He didn't stay with the other scientists, but stood beside the mob with expressionless faces and guns. His face above his beard was indifferent, and there were still bruises that hadn't faded away. .

Tony mixed into the crowd, approached the short man, and asked in a low voice:

"Torbjörn? Why are you here too?"

PS:

I heard that there are doubles at the end of the month?I don't know...then keep it, wait until it doubles and then vote, anyway, there should be more updates on the 20th...
