Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 86 4. Secret File [9100]

"I must be crazy."

"That's right, I must be crazy! That's why I took a woman I've known for less than a day to a military base with the highest level of secrecy!"

On the way to the deserted mountains of Nevada, Fury complained endlessly while driving:

"If this matter is discovered, I will definitely have to go to a military court. You two are fine, one can go to an alien planet for refuge, and the other needs to be hidden, and no one will find it. In the end, I will have to take the blame."

"That proves you're a good guy, Agent Fury."

Firth, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said with a slight smile:

"Helping a lady in distress is a very noble act in Harrah, and the Kerry men are proud of it."

"Yeah, Fury is such an enthusiastic person."

Merlin, who was sitting in the back seat, observed the surrounding environment and asked casually:

"Tell us about the Tianma project, Fury, you just said that we initiated that project before?"

"I can't tell you."

With a straight face, Fury said while turning the steering wheel:

"That's a military secret."

"Then pick something to say."

Merlin urged:

"You can't let us enter that place without knowing anything, can you?"

"Okay. But you'll be disappointed because I don't know much either."

Fury hesitated for a few seconds, then said softly:

"Project Tianma is a project launched in the 80s. I don't know the specifics. At that time, I just joined the Strategic Science Corps, and I was a rookie in the organization just like you."

"All I know is that the project was initiated by Mr. Howard Stark to study new types of energy. He is a real genius. He gathered a group of scientists who were as talented as him to build a Pegasus Base."

"In 89, there were rumors that their research had made important progress. But in the second half of 89, the project was terminated abruptly for unknown reasons."

Fury raised his head, glanced at Merlin in the rearview mirror, and said:

"I just started chasing you. I don't know much about the specific situation, but later I heard that because of this incident, the relationship between Mr. Howard and the Strategic Science Corps became alienated. Ms. Carter persuaded Mr. Howard to give up and leave. agency thinking."

"Wendy Lawson?"

Firth on the co-pilot suddenly said a name, she looked at Fury, and she said:

"Do you remember this name? In my confused memories, I remember that she was always wearing the coat of the Pegasus Project and was busy in the base all day long. We often called her 'Doctor'."

"I do not know."

Fury thought about it, shook his head, and said:

"Maybe someone knows more about the Tianma project, but it's definitely not me. After all, I'm just a low-level civilian agent of level 3."

While talking, Fury's car turned into a fork in the mountain, and after driving forward for another 20 minutes, they came to an extremely secret military base, which was in a valley surrounded by barbed wire and steel structures. The wall is enclosed, the gate is closed tightly, and watchtowers are built on both sides of the road behind the gate, which looks heavily guarded.

"Are you sure it's here, Fury?"

Merlin looked at the base hidden in the shadow of the valley, and said:

"Didn't you say that this place has been abandoned?"

"I'm sure it's here."

Fury rolled down the car window, put his finger on the verification device on the side of the road, and said to Merlin:

"The Tianma project is terminated, but there are other experiments continuing in this base. Don't ask about these things, your confidentiality level is not enough."

"beep, beep"

With two soft beeps, Fury's fingerprint verification passed, and the door in front of the vehicle slowly opened.

"You go, I will make your backup plan."

Merlin said something, and then quietly entered the shadow cloak.He was still in the car, but he had hidden his figure to avoid any accidents.

Fury's car drove all the way into the parking lot of the base without any obstruction.

After parking the car, he tossed a baseball cap to Firth, saying:

"Try not to speak for a while, just pretend that you are my adjutant. This is a military base, so don't cause too much trouble."

After finishing speaking, Fury put on his sunglasses, assumed the posture of an agent chief, and walked into the base with the silent Foss.

"Hello, Agent Fury."

They were greeted by the security personnel of the base. Holding the record book, he asked:

"The Pegasus base didn't have your advance appointment, did you come here for business?"

"Ah."

Fury nodded, and he said:

"I was ordered to come here to review the relevant documents of the Tianma project. I will not take it away, it is just a routine filing."

After hearing Fury's words, the face of the security officer changed. He put away the record book and said to Fury:

"Then come with me, and I'll take you there."

Fury and Firth followed the base staff to an interview room, and he said to Fury and Firth:

"You two wait here for a while, and I will send those documents over immediately."

After speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

"bang"

There was a soft sound, and then the key sounded, and the door was locked tightly the next moment.

"Damn it!"

Fury immediately realized that the problem was wrong, and he grabbed the lock and tried to open the door.Behind him, Firth raised his fist and said to Fury:

"Step aside!"

After finishing speaking, she was about to blast the door open, but the next second, the locked door opened again.

Merlin stood at the door, holding the stunned staff member in his hand, and he said to Fury and Firth:

"Let's go, I found the file room."

After finishing speaking, he threw the fainted staff member into the house, locked the door, and took Fury and Firth to the file room on the 5th floor of the basement.

But all three were negligent, they didn't check the staff carefully.

Ten minutes after they left, the stunned guy woke up leisurely. He looked around and twisted the completely locked door lock. A flash of anger flashed across his face, but soon, the muscles in his face It started twisting, changing, and after a few seconds, the guy turned into a green alien in black.

He has pointed ears, a body like green fibers, and has no hair, but there are several strange black spots on his head.

It's... a Skrull!

After he became the prototype, he raised his arm and opened a strange projection device. He said to the device in an obscure alien language:

"Taros! Here they come! That woman, an earthling, and finally a guy who can make himself invisible... They're at Pegasus Base! Come!"

On the projection of the Skrull's arm, a familiar figure was reflected.

Kohler!

Clueless Kohler!

The guy's projection replied in the same obscure language:

"Waiting for us there! This time we must catch her!"

Kohler, Kohler who had a fight with Fury before...

It was also pretended by the Skrulls!

——————————————————————————————

Fury and Firth scour the archives for information on Project Pegasus.Merlin concealed his body, hovering and watching at the entrance of the fifth underground floor.

The staff at this base have already shown a lack of cooperation, so they must be more vigilant in their actions. If there is any disturbance, they will leave immediately.

After all, this is a real military base, and Fury and Merlin are still active intelligence workers and real public officials. Once they are found to bring strangers into the base, then the two of them will definitely go to a military court.

Merlin hid in the shadows, and he vigilantly perceived the surrounding environment. After the darkness perception spread, he could immediately sense anyone approaching.

Nothing can escape his perception, even an ant...

"Meow!"

A meow suddenly sounded from behind Merlin, startling Merlin who was concentrating on it.

He turned his head suddenly, and saw an orange cat squatting behind him, tilting its head, looking at him curiously.And Merlin didn't feel the cat's approach at all!

What's more, Merlin is still in the state of the shadow cloak at this time, logically speaking, it is impossible for this cat to see him!

But judging from the curious expression shining in the cat's eyes, it not only saw Merlin, but also wondered why this human being squatted at the entrance of the stairs stupidly?

"How did you get here, little guy?"

Because of being helped by the ugly cat Crookshanks in times of crisis, Merlin is still full of kindness towards kittens.

He broke away from the shadow cloak, squatted in front of the cat, stretched out his hand, and stroked its head.

This made the orange cat moan comfortably, and Merlin noticed that there was a silver pendant hanging around the cat's neck. He put the silver pendant in the palm of his hand and found a line of text on it:

"Dear Goo Goo, I will send you home, I swear.——Ma-Vell"

"Is your name Gu Gu?"

Merlin patted the kitten on the head, as if he was talking to the kitten, he said:

"Mar-Well, what a strange name... Is she or he your master?"

"Meow"

Cuckoo stretched out his claws, and pulled Merlin's hand away from his pendant. It didn't seem to like others touching the pendant.This made Merlin smile, and he took out a little bit of magic cat food from his magic pocket. It was an extra packet of samples that the shopkeeper with round glasses gave me when he bought cat food for Crookshanks last time. It is forgotten in the pocket.

Now it's finally useful.

The cat food carefully made by the wizards made the cool kitten's tail start to flick. Merlin put the cat food on the ground, and Goo Goo just lay there and began to eat.

This made Merlin couldn't help but smile, he turned around, and began to monitor the base with his perception again.

But a few minutes later, a faint sound from the passage behind made Merlin frown.He entered the shadow cloak and quietly approached the passage behind.

After turning a corner, he unexpectedly saw that Firth was using the base phone to talk to someone.

The weirdest thing is that there is a special device on Firth's wrist, which looks very sophisticated.She hooked up a phone line to the device, and it was clear that she was definitely not talking to someone on Earth.

This discovery made Merlin narrow his eyes.

He didn't dare to get too close to Firth. Firth could feel Merlin's presence in the Pancho bar before, which showed that Firth also had the ability of super perception.

Merlin hid around the corner, and he spread his dark perception with the slightest gesture, just like an eavesdropper, he eavesdropped on the voice of Firth and the mysterious man.

"Yong, I just read the information about the Tianma Project. Lawson is from the Cree, and she is one of us..."

In a confused voice, Firth said to the person on the other end of the phone:

"It's recorded here that she died in a plane crash. What's going on? Why are our people on planet C-53? Are they involved in local experiments?"

"Ferth, I don't have the authority to tell you too much, but what I can tell is that Lawson is an agent of the Kerry Empire. Her real name is Mar. Well. A few years ago, she was on the planet C-53. Discovered a special energy, she accepted the mission to come to this planet to study this special energy, she declared that this energy can permanently help us end the war with the Skrulls."

The man named "Yong" answered Firth's question in such a way that Merlin, who was eavesdropping, narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, there are spies from other planets on the earth, but they are not Skrulls, but Kerrys!

"what about me?"

Firth asked again, with a hint of anger and panic in her tone, she said:

"I found evidence, Yong, I found evidence that I lived on Earth. I was working with Ma-Vell at the time, and I was her good friend when she was Lawson from Earth... And before this mission, when I went to meet the highest wisdom, she also appeared in the form of Lawson!"

"You know... the highest intelligence will only appear in the form of someone with the deepest memory! Yong! My memory is blocked in part! Don't you think, you should explain something to me?"

Facing Firth's questioning, Yong said softly:

"That sounds like a Skrull disguise, listen to me, Vers..."

"No! That's not it!"

Firth's voice became more intense, and she screamed:

"I remember! I remember those memories! Those memories that kept coming in my head! I've been here! I've lived here! Even, even..."

"Stop!"

The man named Yong scolded:

"Don't forget your training, know your enemy, you may be your enemy! Don't be affected by emotions..."

"Snapped"

Before the man finished speaking, a cloud of dark magic power thrown over like a spear completely destroyed the phone.

Firth turned around suddenly, and saw Merlin standing up from the corner. The agent looked at her. He took a deep look at Firth, and said:

"Visiting time is over, Fers, someone is coming. Hurry up and get out of here with Ferry. I'll delay them!"

"How much have you heard?"

Firth gritted his teeth and asked, Merlin shrugged:

"Not much, but enough for me to guess the truth of the matter."

Merlin looked at Firth, and he said seriously:

"Don't let that alien brainwash you again, Firth...you are a human from Earth, you are our compatriots, not the cannon fodder of the Cree!"

"How do I know that all this is not your conspiracy?"

Firth gritted her teeth, like a stubborn girl, she said to Merlin:

"Perhaps, you are trying to brainwash me just like them! Trying to make me fight for your interests?"

"So go find it yourself."

Merlin turned around, he heard a lot of messy footsteps rushing into the ground, he said to Firth:

"Find the evidence that I was born and raised on the earth. I'm sure, one day, you will be on our side... Say goodbye to Fury for me, I'm going to another place to find evidence .”

"The next time we meet, Firth, I'll let you take it all."

Firth looked at Merlin's back disappearing into the air, and she shouted:

"Why are you so persistent in helping me? Merlin, are you trying to use me too?"

"The reason is simple, because..."

Merlin's deep voice sounded in Firth's ears:

"I also understand... what it's like to be homeless."
