Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 83 1. Fury's Fantasy Journey【6100】

Organizations such as the Strategic Crisis Intervention and Logistics Intelligence Service have their own strongholds in various regions of North America.

After joining this secret service agency for 2 years, Merlin also knew a lot of secrets about it.For example, Merlin knew that somewhere in California, there was a place similar to the Secret Service Academy, which was close to the Nevada desert, and it was specially used for field agents to conduct actual combat training.

It is said that some laboratories involved in dangerous experiments are also located in that secret base.

Fury has been there since May.It is said that it was to train a group of new recruits he personally recruited.

Fury has great hopes for this group of new agents. At this point in time, it is only a matter of time before the downfall of the incompetent Kohler who has been causing trouble for him. Fury may soon regain control of the entire agency. Under such circumstances, without a group of trustworthy agents under his command, it would be very troublesome to carry out the work quickly.

After all, in the past two years, Kohler's perverse actions have almost ruined the good foundation left by the original Strategic Science Corps.

Once Fury returns to power, these experienced veteran agents, including Victoria Hand, John Gartler, Barton, Natasha and Merlin, will be promoted to the middle level of the agency immediately, to that From time to time, the vacant positions they left at the grassroots level will be gradually accepted by this group of newcomers.

And when these new agents personally recruited by Fury really grow up, Fury will be able to truly realize complete control of the organization from top to bottom.

At that time, the Strategic Science Corps, which once shined in the Cold War, will be truly reborn!

Well, that's for later, though.

If all goes well, it will take at least 4-5 years for this to really materialize.

"boom"

Wearing a black casual suit and carrying a suitcase, Merlin pushed open the door and walked into the fully guarded laboratory.

Outside the laboratory, at least 40 heavily armed soldiers are guarding. Those are members of the special operations team belonging to the Strategic Crisis Intervention and Espionage Logistics Division, and they are all composed of soldiers drawn directly from the army.

Being able to mobilize this standard armed force means that something really happened this time.

"Fry? What's going on?"

Merlin walked into the laboratory and saw Fury standing in front of the dissecting table, who was holding an ice pack and applying it to his forehead.After hearing Merlin's voice, Fury turned his head and waved to Merlin.

"You come first."

Merlin walked over, and Fury stared at him, to be precise, stared at his face, looking back and forth, as if to find something.This made Merlin a little strange, he asked:

"what happened?"

"How did you come so quickly?"

Fury looked at Merlin suspiciously and said:

"From New York to California, at least 6 hours, right? It's only been 4 hours since I called you!"

"It's the private jet Ms. Carter helped me find."

Merlin frowned and replied:

"You can call her and ask, and, what the hell is going on? And the smell...disgusting."

Fury motioned for Merlin to wait, and he stepped aside to make a phone call.After a while, Fury hung up the phone, and then said to Merlin:

"Well, you are indeed true. As for why..."

Fury turned around and opened the black cloth on the dissecting table behind him, revealing the corpse of a strange creature.He said to Merlin:

"I was raped by this guy just now, and I almost died in its hands. So now, everyone looks like an alien in disguise."

"Why do you always encounter such things?"

Merlin complained that last time in Manhattan, Fury was almost attacked by a shapeshifter. He seemed to be very unlucky, always meeting those creatures that could transform and camouflage.

But soon, Merlin was attracted by the weird creature in front of him.

It was a humanoid corpse.

It looks slightly taller than Fury, about 2 meters tall.The whole body is covered with green, strangely textured skin, which feels like some kind of smooth fiber.

The creature's skin was covered with lines. It had arms and legs like a human being, but its face was more like the goblin Merlin had seen.

The chin is full of folds, the eye sockets are deep-set, and there are a pair of pointed ears. There is no hair or lips, but there are black stripes similar to hair on its scalp, which looks very strange.

Merlin noticed that there were blue-purple blood stains on the nostrils and the edge of the mouth of this creature, which looked very strange.He stretched out his hand, opened the eyelids of the corpse, and saw a pair of blue-purple eyes that were the same as its blood.But those eyes have completely lost their luster.

In the heart of this creature, there are 2 bullet holes, which are its fatal wounds.

Merlin picked up the tweezers and took out the two deformed holy silver bullets from the wound. He threw the holy silver bullets into the plate on one side, and while observing the creature's wound, he asked Fury:

"What the hell is this thing? And how did you kill it? Its muscle tissue is very developed, and its strength is at least twice as strong as yours. If it really wants to kill you, you should be dead."

Merlin asked, and Fury replied with a hint of gloom:

"This should be... a Skrull."

Fury sat on a chair beside him, with ice packs on his eyes, and said:

"If I heard correctly, that's what the weird woman called them, and she said, these guys are a kind of shapeshifter. As for how I killed it...it's simple."

Fury took out a smaller gun from his pocket, and said to Merlin:

"I've always carried two guns with me since I knew there were ghosts and ghosts in this world. This monster transformed into the rookie cadet I was out with today and it took one from me gun, but I still have one...that's why it died."

"So what's going on?"

Merlin put on medical gloves and a mask, ready to start dissecting the corpse in front of him, and asked:

"The more you talk, the more confused I become. Who are the weird women? How did you meet them?"

"Don't move!"

Fury stopped Merlin from picking up the scalpel, and he said to Merlin:

"A special forensic doctor will come to dissect it. After the autopsy is completed, we have to send it to the Bridge and Tunnel Authority, and they will be in charge of finishing."

"Okay, then I'll listen to your story."

Merlin put down the scalpel with some regrets. He almost went to medical university back then, and he also chose Potions when he was studying magic, which proved that he was really interested in medicine.

Merlin sat on the chair on the other side, and Fury began to talk about the bizarre things he encountered today.

"Early this morning, I was a bit like usual, leading those rookie agents to conduct detection and counter-detection training in the city. As a result, I received a call."

Fury recalled what happened in the morning, he said:

"It was a security call from a movie theater. He told the police that last night he found a woman suspected of being an alien who fell from the sky, fell into a Blockbuster store, and destroyed some things. He said clearly. The police We passed the call to our office in New York, you know, we're in the line of work to check on these nonsense things."

"New York transferred the call to me because I was the commander closest to the crime scene. So I rushed there."

Fury shrugged:

"At that time, there was a rookie agent who was recruited by me in my car. I didn't have time to send him back, so I drove him there. Then we met a woman in a phone booth."

"A queer woman!"

Fury aggravated his voice, and he described to Merlin:

"She has blond hair, is tall, and wears a strange green dress, which looks a bit like a diving suit. She calls herself a member of the Star Troopers, and she calls herself Firth. She came to Earth to find the Skrulls who sneaked here, Saying that they are going to launch a subversive war on Earth."

"Hmm, sounds like a lunatic, or a young man obsessed with movies."

Merlin commented and got Fury's approval.

"Yes! That's what I thought at the time. I thought she probably escaped from a mental hospital, until she sent a wave of light with her fist in front of me and blew up a wall."

Fury made a punching motion and said:

"Like this! Whoosh...bang!"

"Light wave?"

Merlin became interested, Fury thought about it, and he described in detail:

"To be precise, it's like a thickened electric current, which is very powerful. I suspect that the woman fired it with some kind of weapon, but I didn't see a weapon on her arm."

"Star Troopers can also emit light waves, which means she is very dangerous."

Merlin closed his eyes and thought, he said:

"It may be soldiers from another planet. Let such a man who carries weapons and treats the city as a battlefield rampage, no wonder you want me to come here immediately..."

"Do not."

Fury shook his head, and he said to Merlin:

"That woman! She doesn't look like an alien, Merlin. Although she keeps talking about the space translator, I can hear it! She speaks our language, and she has an accent from the Northeast .”

"If it weren't for her ability to shoot light cannons with her fists, I would definitely think of her as an American through and through."

"Ok."

Merlin shrugged:

"An ordinary woman can't smash a wall with her fist. From your description, it doesn't look like magic. Where is that woman now?"

"She ran away."

Fury said a little unhappily:

"There was a disguised Skrull attacking us, she rescued me, then ran out after the guy. Me and the rookie agent gave chase, but on the way, the real rookie called me and said I threw him At the crime scene. And this guy!"

Fury pointed to the alien on the dissecting table, and he said:

"This guy just grabbed the gun... It seemed like it was trying to threaten me, but it didn't realize I had another gun. That's the whole story."

"You mean, this rookie in alien disguise even tricked you?"

Merlin asked back, he knew that although Fury was an ordinary person, his perennial spy career made him very observant. What's more, Fury had been with the group of new agents for 2 months, and he was very sensitive to them. Already very familiar.

"Yes, exactly the same!"

Fury said with some palpitations:

"There is no difference, Merlin, it makes me feel a little scared. If what the woman said is true, there are really a group of Skrulls who have sneaked into the earth, then they may disguise themselves as anyone! Like the president, like you, or even It's... another me!"

"Don't be afraid."

Merlin comforted:

"At least you are not what they pretended to be."

Merlin pointed to his eyes, and he said confidently:

"They can disguise the body, they cannot disguise the soul!"

"That's why I summoned you!"

Fury said seriously:

"I received news that there was a motorcycle apology case nearby. According to the clues provided by the owner of the motorcycle, the bike thief should be the woman Firth."

"You want me to track her down?"

When Merlin asked, Fury didn't hide anything, and he said frankly:

"Among all the agents, you are the only one who can track her without being discovered by her. When facing these supernatural phenomena and characters, Merlin, you know, I don't have many choices."

"Do you have a photo?"

Merlin nodded. He picked up his suitcase and said to Fury:

"Give me some more information."

"Fortunately, surveillance captured her face. Unfortunately, that's all we have."

Fury handed a photo to Merlin, who took it in his hand and glanced at it.In the photo was a woman in a weird outfit, not the very beautiful type, but surprisingly heroic.

Like a real female warrior.

"give it to me."

Merlin put the photo in his pocket, turned around and left with the suitcase in his hand.

Fury stopped him, he raised his BP machine, and shook Merlin:

"Merlin, remember to use this link!"

"why?"

Merlin looked at Fury suspiciously. It is already 1994, and more convenient mobile phones have begun to replace BP machines.Merlin has also seen Fury's new mobile phone, which is much lighter than the previous bricks.

"First of all, the information security of this thing is guaranteed. Kohler has been watching us."

Fury said with disgust on his face:

"That bastard even traveled all the way to California to try and win over our new agent."

"Secondly..."

Fury's face was a little embarrassed. He took out a smashed mobile phone from his pocket and said:

"When fighting with the Skrulls, this thing broke..."

"Uh, okay!"

Merlin shrugged, waved his watch with BP function, and said to Fury:

"Remember to read the information...wait for my message."

Fury watched Merlin leave, and he himself sat back beside the alien's corpse, thinking about the bizarre thing that happened to him, but a few minutes later, the door was pushed open again.

Fury, who was awakened, looked back, and saw a guy in a suit and leather shoes, with gold-rimmed glasses, standing indifferently at the door of the laboratory, looking at him.

"Kohler!"

Fury frowned and said:

"What are you doing here?"
