Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 792 49. Between Brothers

"This is the information you want."

In the office, Merlin stretched out his hand and pushed his eyes, he looked at the transmission progress bar on the lens,

In the encrypted communication of Icarus, some files are being sent to the database on the other side.

And in the projection of his lens, it was a guy with a mask as sharp as a bat and a cape.

That's Bruce Wayne, that's Batman, that's Avenger 006.

Merlin said in a serious and serious tone:

"This information cannot be leaked, Bruce, and I must emphasize once, the consequences of its leaking will be very serious."

"I can understand."

Bruce said in that crisp tone that belonged to Batman:

"I'll encrypt it, and I'll need kryptonite..."

"I can probably guess what you want that thing for, but I can't give it to you right now."

Merlin interrupted Bruce, saying:

"That thing not only has a strong restraint on Kryptonians, but it is also radioactive, which is very dangerous."

"Some of my friends are researching how to use it safely. After that research is over, I will give you news."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the news."

Batman says:

"I still need something, the special metal you mentioned before, the kind that can suppress the self-healing factor."

"For Logan, huh?"

Merlin shook his head, and said regretfully:

"I don't have much in hand, but if it goes well, I will get a finished product after a while, and I will lend it to you for analysis. With the upgraded manufacturing power of Wayne Industry, I want to copy it. It shouldn't be difficult."

"Also, if you have time, go to Kansas and go as Batman. There are ongoing experiments that require test subjects. That is a special armor prepared for you."

Merlin says:

"It's one of your hero equipment."

"I do not need."

Batman said stubbornly:

"It is enough for me to have my armor."

"Don't make trouble!"

Merlin says:

"Think about what kind of guys your imaginary enemies are. Your set of armor is not bad for ordinary criminals. If you really want to open it, I only need to flick my fingers to crush it."

"You need something more powerful, Bruce, this is not a request!"

Batman was silent for a moment, then nodded, and said:

"I have some armor designs myself, but I lack the experience of fighting more advanced enemies. If you have time, come to Gotham and I need to collect some combat data of you superhumans."

"Okay."

Merlin leaned back in the chair, stretched his shoulders, and said:

"In a few days, I'll be there during my vacation. Besides, Bruce, there is something very important that I want to talk to you about."

"Ok?"

Batman on the projection tilted his head, and he asked:

"what's up?"

"About Damian!"

Merlin interlaced his fingers and put them on the table, he said:

"That brat in your family has been harassing my sister recently... You better take care of him!"

"Harassment?"

There was an odd smile on the corner of Bruce's visored mouth, and he said:

"It's just two children making phone calls and writing letters, Merlin, how can this not be considered harassment?"

"No, no, no!"

Merlin said in a serious tone:

"You also know the energy on Damian. I sealed it, but as Damian grows older, the power belonging to the third house will eventually return to him..."

"He is not considered a son of Sangong, but theoretically, he is also a family member of Sangong."

"Riwen's bloodline is very dangerous for both her and Damian. I don't want the two young people to have an accident because of this... Can you understand my worry?"

"I can, Merlin."

Bruce said:

"That's why I sent Damian to Tibet. Once, with my help, my son could suppress the darkness in his heart, but now, he feels that he is about to lose control, so I sent him to Tibet. Where I stayed."

"If he can't control himself, then he has to stay there, Talia will watch him for me... Are you relieved now?"

"Well, as expected of you, you are prepared for anything."

Merlin gave a thumbs up and waved, he said:

"Then I'm relieved, oh, yes, the last thing, can you help me get some special steel through your relationship."

"What kind of steel do you need?"

Bruce asked:

"What are the requirements for materials?"

"The first is that the energy conductivity is better."

Merlin says:

"Secondly, the flexibility must be guaranteed. As for the firmness, it doesn't matter."

"Why don't you use your own channel to find it?"

Batman asked in surprise:

"You should have more contacts than me, right?"

"Because this is a private matter, Bruce, I need to do a magical experiment with the steel, and I don't want too many people to know about it."

Merlin explained:

"Since you designed the battle armor, it means that you must have a special channel, and your tone is very strict, so you don't need to worry about leaking secrets."

"Most importantly, you are some of the richest people I know."

"Okay, I'll help you find it, how much do you want?"

Bruce hesitated, he asked, Merlin gestured with his fingers, and he said:

"There are a lot of experimental materials. Naturally, the more the better."

"Wait for my news."

Batman hung up the communication, and Merlin pushed his glasses. He clicked on the table, and Icarus quickly projected the work to be done today to Merlin's eyes.

Merlin said with emotion:

"Oh, it's nice to have a friend who is rich and reliable."

"Yes, just and honest Director Merlin."

Icarus murmured in a low voice:

"Are you going to donate your salary next month?"

"Donate some, I don't need that much anyway."

Merlin clicked on a document before the projection, and while reading it, he said:

"I haven't received any news from the Emperor Organization recently, and I don't know if Vivian's search for those ancient Titans is going well, or if the relationship between Vivian and Qin Ze is going well."

"The Emperor Organization seems to be conducting a large-scale scientific research operation recently."

Icarus said:

"It seems to be related to KONG. When I sorted out the documents of the Emperor Organization, I found that they had a proposal, saying that they planned to use cloning technology to create a companion for KONG..."

"Is it such a nonsense?"

Merlin frowned, and said:

"Although KONG is very likely to be the last orphan of its race, is it still underage? Are you in such a hurry to find a 'Wang Concubine' for KONG?"

"bang, bang"

Just when Merlin's rant was over, there was a knock on the door in the office. Merlin raised his head and saw Coulson walking in.

"Colson? What are you doing here when you're not in your office?"

Merlin pushed his glasses, he said:

"Is there something important?"

"There is something important."

Coulson seemed to be struggling. He hesitated for a moment, then took out a small projection device from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Merlin.

In that flash of light, Merlin saw Coulson arguing with someone in his own garage.

After a few seconds, Coulson didn't know what he did, which directly caused the deformation of the classic car Lola parked in the garage.

This made the corners of Merlin's eyes twitch.

He probably guessed what Coulson was doing here.

"This is? What's going on here?"

At this moment, Merlin was possessed of drama, he stood up from the office chair with a look of surprise, pointed at the projection, and said to Coulson:

"What's up with this Cybertronian? Why would she be in your house? If I'm not mistaken, this is your precious car? And you gave her a name."

"Yes, Lola."

Coulson is like a child who has done something wrong. Standing in front of Merlin, he said with guilt on his face:

"Sir, that's why I'm here today. I want to confess a major mistake I made."

"A few years ago, when the Tinder source incident just happened, my Che Luola had the same situation as the 'ghost' and 'noise'. She was awakened by a Tinder fragment and became the first generation smart machine."

Coulson raised his head, his eyes were full of guilt, he said:

"But out of selfishness, I didn't make Lola's matter public."

"Maybe it seems unconvincing to you, but in my opinion, Lola is like my family. She doesn't want to be known by others, so I help her hide the secret..."

"Is that so?"

Merlin pretended to be clear and wiped his chin. He sat back on the chair, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Then why are you taking the initiative to reveal this secret now?"

"Because Lola's thinking is maturing day by day, just like a ignorant girl growing up."

Coulson showed a worried old father-like expression on his face, and he said in a tangled manner:

"Lola secretly checked the files in my computer. She knew that there are mechanical life forms like her in this world. She has been secretly looking for those life forms."

"And before I knew it, she was driving around by herself... She seems to have discovered Horus' presence, I mean, she's been to your house several times, sir .”

"Huh? Is that so?"

Merlin covered his forehead with his hand to hide his surprise.

In the past few years, Lola did come to Merlin's house occasionally secretly, chatting with Merlin's knight Horus, or driving Merlin around.

Her personality is no different from that of an ordinary girl, and she would be bored if she stays in the garage of Coulson's house all the time.

Both Lola and Merlin thought it was a good concealment, but they didn't expect Coulson to have found out a long time ago... and he actually delayed telling it until now.

"Yes, I had a few fights with Lola about it."

Coulson sighed and said:

"She said that she doesn't want to stay in the garage all the time, and she also wants to go out to see the scenery of the world. I can't convince her that this secret can no longer be hidden, so I can only confess it to you."

The next moment, Coulson stood up straight, and he said to Merlin:

"I am willing to accept all punishments, sir, but I request that Lola be included in the mechanical combat unit of SHIELD, and form a combat team with 'Ghost' and 'Noise'..."

"She's right, she also has the right to make friends, and as her knight, I can't keep her locked up forever."

"Um..."

Merlin rubbed his forehead, pondered, and after a while, he said to Coulson:

"Because Lola's incident did not cause any danger, so there is no need for punishment, but regarding Lola's joining the mechanical combat unit, I think we should be more cautious..."

"Let me talk to your car this afternoon."

"Also, Coulson, didn't Lola say anything special to you?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes and put it on his fingers under the table. The Oblivion Curse was ready to be released. He looked at Coulson and asked seriously:

"Did she say something...about me? Didn't you say she often goes to my house?"

"Uh, not this one."

Coulson said frankly:

"Lola said she only knew Horus, and Horus warned her not to get too close to you and your family, so she didn't get in touch with your younger sisters too much."

"But sir, but your sister, little Lorna, her control over the magnetic force may have allowed her to discover Lola's secret."

"is it?"

The Oblivion Charm on Merlin's finger dissipated, he raised his hand, propped his chin, and said:

"Well, it looks like I'm going to have a good talk with the girls in my family..."

Watching Coulson leave with a sigh of relief, Merlin's expression also collapsed, and he said to Icarus:

"It's really dangerous, it's just a little bit. And...acting is really tiring."

"Really? How do I see you enjoying it, Merlin, you're an out-and-out showman!"

---------

At midnight, during his vacation, Dr. Ziegler, who was resting in the hotel, was suddenly awakened by the sound of a mobile phone next to his bed.

She picked up the phone in a daze, put it to her ear, and asked in a drowsy voice:

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Doctor Ziegler?"

A very strange voice from Ziegler rang on the phone, making all the doctor's drowsiness completely dispelled at this moment.

Although she is a logistics support member of the watch team, she is theoretically also an agent, and she has the vigilance that an agent should have.

"who are you?"

The doctor asked, and the man on the phone didn't answer the question, saying:

"Someone needs your help."

"If you don't tell me who you are, I can't help you."

Sitting on the bed, Ziegler turned on the phone's location search function while talking, which is included in the contact tools issued by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Hell's Kitchen Warehouse 14, Gen Shimada is there, he's dying...Only you can save him."

The voice uttered an address, and then hung up the phone neatly, so that the search program that had already started was returned in vain.

Dr. Ziegler looked at the mobile phone with a busy signal in her hand, and she frowned.

"Shimada Gen..."

The doctor muttered the name silently. This guy was the guy with a mysterious background who was madly chasing Dr. Ziegler at that time. Ziegler was tirelessly annoyed by his pursuit, so he asked McCree to dismiss him.

She thought she would never hear about this name again, but she didn't expect that long after that guy disappeared mysteriously, he would reappear.

But this endless news is really suspicious.

"Could this be a trap?"

Dr. Ziegler was no longer sleepy.

As a doctor, it is difficult for her to ignore a life that is about to die. What's more, although it is annoying, Shimada Gen is indeed someone who has intersected with herself.

People are always more tolerant of familiar people.

But the doctor remained sane and she is now on leave.

She didn't want the official power to intervene in this matter, so as to ruin the vacation she finally got. After thinking about it, Dr. Ziegler picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hi, Ash? Are you asleep? I'm Ziegler and I need your help."
