"What the happened? Why is there another S-Class incident? Did it happen suddenly?"
Merlin handed over command to Agent Gattler, and before he even had time to say goodbye to the little wizards, he returned to London at the fastest speed with a shifting spell.
At a hidden military base on the outskirts of London, he saw Maria Hill waiting for him, and the military aircraft that was ready to fly.
The appearance of the Fury's official assistant, a level 4 secret agent of SHIELD, seems to represent the seriousness of the matter.
Faced with Merlin's inquiry, Agent Hill handed a stack of photos to Merlin, and then took Merlin on a direct flight to South America. In the undulating aircraft cabin, Merlin looked at the documents and photos, and his expression became more and more ugly.
The photo looks like it was taken by satellite. At the center of the topographic photo, there is a bright, irregular light shining, just like in Argentina in South America, something exploded on the ground, and then was satellite It's time to shoot.
The ground explosion that can be directly observed by the satellite, and the familiar shape of the light in the photo, gave Merlin an unpredictable hunch.
Hill sat next to Merlin and whispered this incident for Merlin.
The first sentence she spoke confirmed Merlin's bad guess.
"Sir, you can understand this incident as an unexpected nuclear explosion."
"Ok?"
Merlin looked back at Hill and he said:
"Is there a nuclear bomb in Argentina? Is something wrong with the national test? Or is it a sign of war?"
"Neither, listen to me slowly, Chief Merlin."
Hill took out several files from the bag he carried and handed it to Merlin. She explained:
"This time is not a conventional nuclear explosion, otherwise Director Fury will not ask you to go to Argentina immediately. This time the explosion was a large particle collider made by a private laboratory, and the equipment was designed to study quantum entanglement. Phenomenon. The energy bombardment caused by its explosion is equivalent to the energy generated when a small nuclear bomb explodes."
Agent Hill's cheer surfaced with a little luck, she said:
"But unlike the devastating explosion of a nuclear bomb, this time the dissipated energy dissipated in a short time. The location of the laboratory was not in the downtown area, so there were not too many casualties. This is unfortunate I’m lucky."
"Quantum entanglement?"
When Merlin heard the scientific terminology, he frowned, opened the file, and said:
"In that case, what does Fury ask me to do? This kind of thing can't be handled by SHIELD?"
"We must manage."
Agent Hil helplessly turned Merlin over the last few pages of the document. She pointed to one of the personnel files with the word "top secret" and said to Merlin:
"Because this matter is related to some old things left by the Strategic Science Corps, but also involves some secrets during the Cold War."
Hill added a tone, she said to Merlin:
"These files were obtained by Mr. Fury and me from Ms. Carter a few hours ago. Ms. Carter urged Mr. Fury to be sure to select the most trusted agent to handle this matter."
"Fery really looks up to me..."
Merlin flipped through the personnel file in his hand. He pointed to the black and white photos and said with a headache:
"So, this Pim Hank, Bill Foster and Elias Starr, what is the relationship between the three of them? Where are they now?"
"There is also the Goliath plan, what is this?"
"I heard Ms. Carter say that the Goliath plan is a study similar to the'Super Soldier' ​​plan initiated by the Strategic Science Corps in the 1960s and 1980s."
Agent Hill said to Merlin:
"Ms. Carter did not elaborate, but according to her, the experiment was finally successful. Dr. Pim Hank and three of his assistants who were in charge of the experiment successfully developed a result called the "Pim Particle", That special kind of particles can change the distance between atoms, so as to enlarge and shrink the human body."
"Human body? Zoom in or out?"
Merlin quickly glanced at the document filled with various technical terms. After hearing Hill's explanation, he was a little surprised to say:
"Are you sure it was something that the technology of the last century could make?"
"Frankly, I don't believe it, sir."
Agent Hill dialed her black hair and she said to Merlin:
"But Ms. Carter doesn't have to lie to us. According to her, Pim Hank is the smartest person she has ever seen, even smarter than Mr. Howard Stark. And Dr. Pim is the first generation of Ant-Man, He can use Pim particles to shrink his body to the size of an ant, or he can enlarge himself to about 60 feet tall and become a real giant."
"He was not content to be a researcher only. From the 1970s to the 1990s, he and his wife, as well as his assistant, Ms. Janet, used the Pim particles several times to successfully prevent the looming cold war crisis. There are records in the archives of SHIELD."
"Um... what happens later?"
Merlin looked at the file and he asked again:
"I seem to have heard from Fury that Dr. Pimm withdrew from the Strategic Science Corps in 1989?"
"Yes."
Agent Hill says:
"Before departure, Chief Fury told me this story."
"It is said that during a certain operation in the 1990s, Dr. Piem lost his wife and his temperament changed greatly. Later he discovered that the senior members of the Strategic Science Corps tried to secretly copy his research results, which directly angered After Dr. Pim, he beat his boss and then withdrew all his research results from the Strategic Science Corps."
"Ms. Carter and Mr. Howard tried to persuade him, but with little success. It is said that now, Dr. Piem is trying to establish his own research company. He has his own laboratory and a strong source of funds."
"Well, he doesn't look like a favorite guy."
Merlin turned the document to the last few pages, and he saw the record of the conflict between the top of the Strategic Science Corps and Pim Hank. According to official records, Pim was not a rule-based person.
Pim in the record is an arrogant, inaccessible, quick-tempered, highly controlled and eccentric genius who is not very good at dealing with people.
"Yes."
Agent Hill also agreed. She pointed to the photos of several other people in the document and said to Merlin:
"Dr. Piem Hank had three assistants, namely Dr. Bill Foster, Dr. Janet Van Dyne, and finally Dr. Elias Starr, except for Dr. Janet. In addition, neither of the other two assistants could bear the eccentric temper of Dr. Piem."
Hill added:
"This time it was Dr. Elias Starr's laboratory."
"Let me guess."
Merlin put the documents together and he said to Hill:
"Elias Starr learned something from Pim Hank but didn't fully learn it. After leaving, he planned to do his own research and it turned out to be wrong, right?"
"Yes."
Hill nodded:
"That's why we went to Argentina, sir."
"If it wasn't for this explosion, we didn't know that Elias Starr was able to make his own particle collider that specializes in quantum entanglement. That thing can't be designed casually. Ms. Carter also It has been said that Dr. Elias Starr was actually expelled from the Strategic Science Corps because Dr. Pimm reported that he stole things in the laboratory repeatedly."
"Ms. Carter didn't catch his evidence, but now it seems that Elias Starr did take some terrible knowledge from Dr. Piem Hank."
"So?"
Merlin asked:
"What is the mission of our two? To confirm Elias Starr's death, or to bring back the knowledge stolen by him?"
"Both."
Agent Hill said in a calm voice:
"The Goliath plan was terminated for no reason, Chief Merlin. Any product of this plan is dangerous."
"I heard Ms. Carter said that the correct use of Pim particles is known only by Dr. Pim and Dr. Janet, and Dr. Bill Foster who once volunteered to do experiments, not even her and Mr. Howard. Yes. Dr. Pimm’s ability to keep secrets is as strong as his scientific research ability."
"This explosion is a tragic reminder. The dangerous knowledge must be recovered and must be sealed."
Hill said seriously:
"Leaving it out will only cause more trouble."
"Ok."
Merlin nodded, he probably understood his task. Fury sent him, presumably by borrowing his powerful senses, trying to find some clues from the ruins of the destroyed laboratory.
He looked at Hill, looking at the serious expression on the face of the Level 4 agent. He couldn't help saying:
"The way you talk is more and more like Fury, Hill. Even the expression is exactly the same, which is not a good sign."
He said to Hill:
"Will you come to work at S.D.O.L.D.? Our job is very easy. There is no problem. We have two weekends a week and occasionally travel at public expense. I think you must be more relaxed here than Fury."
Merlin's joke made the frosty Hill also smile.
She reached out and brushed her hair, leaning on the uncomfortable cabin seat. She rubbed her dark circles caused by lack of sleep, stretched again, and said to Merlin:
"Forget it, sir, I thank you for your kindness..."
"but?"
Merlin closed his eyes like he was resting, he said:
"I knew that there must be a "but", right?"
"Yes."
Hill shrugged. She smiled and whispered back:
"But I'm naturally scared of ghosts... I can shoot at a group of armed thugs without changing my face, but the lowest-level little evil can scare me. I still remember that last time I was on a business trip with you I was shocked when I first saw Raton, and I didn’t sleep well that night. So, SDOLD is definitely not for me."
"Well, girl, understandable."
Merlin said with a smile:
"After all, I cannot expect every female agent to be as powerful as Melinda."
He raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said to Hill next to him:
"It took a few hours to get here, just sleep for a while."
"It's okay, I'll sort out the documents again, sir, you rest."
Hill showed a helpless expression to Merlin, she said:
"I'm used to staying up late."
That's what it said, but after ten minutes, Hill's eyes closed with the vibration of the plane, her head deflected sideways, and finally leaned on Merlin's shoulder.
The feeling of a heavy shoulder and the fragrance from Hill's hair made Merlin stunned for a while, but he didn't push away the tired girl.
"Poor Hill, what was it like tortured by Fury's guy."
He shook his head and maintained his sitting posture, waving his fingers gently, and a military blanket fell on Hill's body.
He quietly threw a sleeping spell on Hill, not malicious, but used this method to make the girl sleep better. Although the Sleeping Mantra sounds dangerous, in fact, in the wizarding world, many wizards also use it to treat insomnia symptoms.
Well, it is still a very effective treatment.
Judging from the girl's heavy dark circles, she really needs a good rest.

Seven hours later, the plane landed at an airport in a valley on the edge of Argentina. Hill and Merlin drove to the side of the ruins of Elias Starr’s private laboratory in the fastest speed.
The energy of the quantum entangled particle collider exploded, almost destroying all 3 floors above the ground, plus the laboratory below 5 floors, leaving a miserable pit in place.
Seriously, this pit is much larger than the one Merlin made in the Malfoy Valley.
The destructive power represented by the two is not at the same level.
"Didi, Didi"
Hill in protective clothes held a Geiger counter in his hand, and in the slightly sharp sound of detection, Hill gestured to Merlin.
"The radiation has fallen back to a point where it will not cause harm to the human body, and you can take off this cumbersome clothing."
"No! Don't take it off!"
Merlin's eyes fell on the bottom of the big pit that was more than 10 meters deep. In the shadow of the remaining building, he vaguely saw something. He said seriously to Hill:
"Don't bring people close, and then you come with me. In addition, Hill... you are well prepared."
"What's wrong? Sir."
Hill also followed Merlin's gaze to the bottom of the pit, but she saw nothing. She looked around and remembered the news that the dozen scientific researchers in the laboratory all disappeared in the explosion. She was hesitant and asked with some fear:
"Is there anything I can't see here?"
"Relax, not a ghost."
Merlin reached out and pulled the protective clothing away. He took off his glasses and looked at the shadow at the bottom of the pit. He said:
"It's'clean' here, but it's not empty."
"There is something in the shadow, like..."
"A living ghost."
