Early the next morning, Merlin arrived at the SHIELD headquarters building in downtown New York as scheduled.
The specific location of this building is kept secret, and from the appearance, it does not look like a secret institution at all, but like more and more high-rise office buildings.
As far as Merlin knows, there are three office buildings like this in S.H.I.E.L.D. alone in New York City, each building is responsible for handling different affairs.
Fury always wanted to find a place around New York to build a real headquarters belonging to SHIELD, but it was difficult.
Not to mention the funds required for the construction of the new headquarters, just because of the nature of the secret work, Fury’s proposal is hard to pass by Congress.
But as time went into 1995, things had changed.
Under Pierce’s proposal, S.H.I.E.L.D. changed from a national defense organization to an operation and logistics organization under the jurisdiction of the World Security Council.
In other words, Merlin's institution began to shift from the shadows to the foreground.
Secret work has become one but not all of the new mission of SHIELD. As a large-scale international organization that has just been established, it is not normal to have its own office building in bustling New York City.
According to a recent rumor that Merlin had heard, Fury's proposal for a new headquarters has already begun to be discussed in Congress, and it is highly likely that it will be passed.
It is said that Fury has already given a name to the new headquarters building without a shadow.
He was going to call it the Trident Building.
Hmm... this is in line with the naming style of Frey who has always been a little bit of the second.
Of course, Merlin doesn't care about these things. Three years have passed since he entered SHIELD, but his time in the office building is almost rare.
From the day Merlin became an agent, he seemed to be outside the main structure of SHIELD.
Fury needs Merlin to deal with some sudden supernatural phenomena for him. The supernatural phenomena are all known to be mysterious. These things that cannot be known by ordinary people need to be kept secret. Even with Merlin's name, they are also sealed in those secret files.
Many staff members do not even know that there is such a person at the top of SHIELD.
Those who really know that Merlin exists are very interested in this mysterious Level 5 agent.
You know, the most senior agent in SHIELD, Nick Fury himself, is only a level 6 agent.
Merlin in a gray suit carried a handbag and frameless glasses, and dressed like a young and senior salesman.
He walked into an elevator unobtrusively, and at the moment the elevator closed, he took out his ID card and swiped it in a hidden groove of the elevator. A small green light illuminates on the elevator panel, and Merlin’s fingers are rhythmically double-clicked.
"Wow"
With a soft sound, the originally slowly rising elevator immediately accelerated, and after 40 seconds, Merlin came to the 34th floor of the building, almost approaching the top floor.
"Ding"
With a soft sound, the elevator doors opened.
A busy work scene appeared in front of Merlin.
Men and women in black uniforms are busy in the workplace, they are walking around holding documents in their hands, or they are constantly tapping on the keyboard with their fingers.
In the conference rooms on both sides of the corridor, there are ongoing meetings, and on the large TV hanging on the wall, there is a world map marked with many red dots, which seems to represent what is happening around the world at this time.
The early morning sunlight rushed down the high-rise glass into the large office area, taking care of a busy scene.
To be honest, Merlin’s first impression here is not like a secret organization, but like a busy business company.
Merlin reached out and pushed his glasses, put his left hand in his trouser pocket, and carried a handbag on his right to the inside of the office.
The sudden appearance of this strange little brother naturally attracted the attention of these house agents. Many people were watching him wherever Merlin had walked. There is also a more vigilant guy who has picked up the phone. But when the agent was about to make a call, he was pressed on the phone with both hands.
"Sir Merlin."
A voice rang behind Merlin, and the bald house agent Japas Hitville shook his finger at the vigilant agent, then he adjusted his clothes and hurried towards Merlin.
The latter turned his head to look at him, and a smile appeared on the calm face.
"Long time no see, Hitville."
"Um, indeed."
Heatville also had a smile on his face when he met again. He made a "please" gesture to Merlin and whispered:
"I rarely see you here, sir. Please come with me, your office is in front."
Hitville made a gesture to the others and signaled them to continue working. Then take Merlin to the quieter high-end office area.
Merlin noticed that the nameplate on Hitville’s chest had changed. He said:
"Are you a Level 2 agent now?"
"Yes, I was promoted just a month ago."
Hitville said:
"Thanks for your blessing. After participating in the action to bring down Kohler, I got an internal award and was promoted. Of course, I'm far worse than you, sir."
"You can't say that."
Merlin shrugged and said to Hitville:
"Although I rarely come here, I also know that the promotion of domestic agents is slower than that of field agents. You can be promoted so quickly, which shows your ability. Speaking of it, Hitville, I still have fewer assistants. Would you like to go to the field agent and give it a try? I think you are also suitable to run around the world with me."
"Uh, forget it."
Although it was clear that Merlin was joking, Hitville still subconsciously touched his bald head. It seems that the last half-magic event was quite a psychological shadow for him.
After walking for a few minutes, he took Merlin to the office by the window. The door of the office was marked with the name "Merlin Riley" and called "Special Operations Supervisor".
Heatville turned around and said to Merlin:
"This is your office, sir. It was there a long time ago, but you haven’t been here, it has been idle, but don’t worry, we have someone to clean it twice a week, so it’s very clean, just like the new one. same."
Merlin nodded, took out his ID card, swiped it gently on the door lock, and the office door opened in response.
"By the way, sir, I have got the information from the director. Your assistant will come to your office to find you later."
Hitville looked at his watch and reminded him:
"About 15 minutes later."
"Well, yes, I came here today for this matter."
Merlin walked into the office and said without looking back:
"Go busy with you, Hitville, I might leave here in the afternoon...seriously, the atmosphere here is really depressing."
While talking, he placed the handbag in the drawer of his desk.
Merlin reached out and opened the black computer in front of him. There was a blocked interface on the screen, which required Merlin to enter the ID and password. This thing was distributed together when he started, but in the past three years, except for the period when he was sitting in the office of the European branch, Merlin used it very few times.
It is now 1995, and a new generation of personal computers has begun to slowly spread. The latest computer in front of us is more advanced than the one used by Merlin in the European branch.
He opened the mailbox first, and Agent Hill had sent him a revised assessment report of the imperial organization earlier today.
Merlin clicked on the report and received a glass of cold water on the water dispenser next to him. While drinking water, he began to browse the magically revised assessment report.
As Fury reminded, this original dry goods is sufficient, there are many secrets, and the evaluation report covering specific photos has been modified into a large and general article.
In the report written by Hill, only a bit of "secret" is shown in the key position. This document guides ordinary people to ignore the real by exaggerating some external facts about the imperial organization and the imperial plan, and some outdated confidential information. Core elements.
All the information of Raton, KONG and Skull Island did not appear on the file.
Godzilla was known to many people because of the reason for the recent dismantling of the Cree's beam, so this mysterious monster cannot be simply ignored.
Hill simply posted the Lawton incident during World War II and the truth of the Bikini Atoll nuclear bomb test in 1954, to prove the existence of Godzilla, and use long stories to convince the security representatives to convince them, The imperial organization has always mastered Godzilla's activities.
In short, Merlin spent 10 minutes reading the report, and he found it perfect.
Agent Hill's writing ability is far above Merlin's. She spent one night to complete the new requirements of Frey and Merlin's report.
After letting Merlin read it, he felt that there was no need for him to modify or make suggestions.
So he thought about it for a moment and returned a letter to Hill with only four simple words:
"Great! Come on!"
And just as Merlin finished writing the email, a rhythmic knock on the door rang in the office.
"Come in!"
Merlin leaned on the office chair and shouted softly.
The next moment, a familiar face appeared in front of him.
Phil Coulson in a black suit held a file bag in his hand and walked into the office a little anxiously. When he saw Merlin sitting on an office chair, the young man with a high hairline Just froze in place.
Merlin also froze.
He didn't expect that Fury's new partner was actually Phil...
It was actually his younger brother.
Since the end of the Cree incident, Merlin has been deliberately keeping a distance from Phil. He is worried that the dangerous work he is doing now will involve Phil.
He also intends to find an opportunity to give Fury a suggestion to put Phil into the internal affairs system, just like Hitville, to do some logistics and management affairs. But I didn't expect that Phil this guy continued to choose the future of field agents and action experts.
This made Merlin a little angry, and also a little frightened. Is this a coincidence, or did Fury discover his potential relationship with Phil?
It stands to reason that this will not be...he clearly hides well, and has never revealed the existence of the Coulsons to anyone.
But Merlin is not easy to get angry now, let alone refuse to face his new assistant.
Because, behind Phil, there is a newcomer.
It was a woman, a young woman with black hair and a height of about 1.70. The outline of the cheek has obvious traces of Orientals, short hair, wearing a black uniform like Phil, and looks very capable.
But those smart eyes mean that this is a very newcomer.
Like Phil, she held a file bag in her hand and looked at her new boss with a hint of curiosity.
"Don't introduce yourself?"
Merlin held a pen in his hand and tapped it on the table. After the glasses, his eyes became sharp, and he looked at the two young people in front of him, just like an interviewer.
He behaved as if he didn't know Phil at all.
But Phil wasn't panicked. He glanced at the women around him. These two people should be friends whom the College of Secret Service knew. The lady nodded to Phil as if encouraging him.
Phil took a deep breath and placed the file bag in his hand on Merlin's desk, then took a step back and began to introduce himself.
"Hello, Chief Merlin, my name is Philip J. Coulson. I am from..."
On the surface, Merlin listened carefully to Phil's self-introduction. In fact, he had been thinking about Phil's stay.
As one of the few Level 5 agents currently in SHIELD, he certainly has the right to refuse Phil's entry. He is also certain that he can persuade Fury to transfer Phil into a civilian position.
But there are risks in doing so, and it will make Fury doubt his intentions. Merlin knows how savvy and hard to deceive is hidden under Fury's appearance.
Second, with his knowledge of Phil's character, even if he dismissed him, Phil would still find a way to continue to be a field agent. He had a stubborn character since he was a child, hidden under the appearance of always smiling.
People, that's it. The more you deny someone, the more he tries to prove himself.
So instead of letting Phil follow other field agents, he should keep him handy.
This is much more convenient whether it is protection or training.
Merlin's eyes changed at this moment, and he seemed determined.
He reached out and knocked on the table, interrupting Phil's self-introduction. He raised his head and looked at Phil. He briefly said:
"Okay. You are welcome to join my team of agents, Phil Coulson."
"Now, please introduce me to the lady next to you... what is your name?"
The girl sitting on the side probably didn't expect that Merlin would ask her so directly, the expression on her face was a little surprised, but soon, she immediately stood up and answered in a calm and clear voice :
"Reporter, my name is May, Melinda May."
"Well, talk about your own experience."
Merlin picked up Melinda's file while listening to her introduce herself.
But he only looked down, and his eyes suddenly changed. In Melinda's file, in the field of recommenders, there is a name he is very familiar with.
Peggy Carter!
This girl...like him and Fury, was personally recommended by Ms. Carter!
This made Merlin even more curious. What background and identity is hidden behind the young girl in front of him?
