The midday sun shines on the seaside town, and the warm light seems to dispel all shadows, but in fact, no matter how strong and hot the sunlight, everywhere shadows will follow.
Merlin infiltrated the temporary military base smoothly.
A warehouse and the vigilant soldiers could not stop his silent penetration.
After spreading the smoke to the maximum, Merlin's presence was difficult to detect even in the sun. The warehouse is filled with cameras by vigilant soldiers, but there are no more advanced laser and sonic detectors. For Merlin, it is like a free public place.
"Secret, where do you put the secret?"
Merlin was searching in the warehouse. He passed by the soldiers on patrol. Like an invisible ghost, he was looking for anything of value in this warehouse.
But a few minutes later, Merlin was disappointed to find that there was no paper material that he could read. Those running computers are only performing searches for radio waves of a particular frequency.
It seems that this time the actions of the Ministry of Defense are very secretive.
Merlin took a look around, and he just left without reconciliation, so he decided to take some risky means.
The scattered black mist appeared in the corner of the second floor of the warehouse. Merlin squatted in the shadows. He whistled at the nearest soldier holding a carbine and armed with a carbine.
The fat soldier immediately turned his head, but the moment he looked back, it was a pair of dark red eyes that were shining brightly.
"Legilimens! (Dementor)"
Merlin's lips moved slightly, and as the magic dissipated, the eyes of the soldier looking at him immediately became loose.
At this moment, Merlin's eyes were like a vortex with some kind of light flowing, attracting all the soldier's attention to it.
At the moment when the four eyes faced each other, Merlin's will was like an invisible hand. He dived into the spirit of the soldier in front of him, and the fragments of memory from the soldier's scattered pieces immediately poured into Merlin's will.
It was like a door to memories, opened to him.
Dementor, this is a relatively unpopular magic that Merlin learned from Bellatrix's memories. It is difficult to call it black magic, despite its very evil effect.
Dementor is an effective means to draw important information from the target's mind.
It can be used to read the memory and emotions of the subject, it sounds very powerful, but in fact, this magic is classified as unpopular magic for a reason.
First of all, the effect of Dementor Charm has different feedback on different people.
For people with weak will, a dementor is enough to dig out all the secrets in his heart. However, for those who are determined, they can even be immune to the influence of the Dementor spell when they are focused. Even if the spell is successfully released, the memory that can be seen from the hearts of those who are determined is quite limited.
And most importantly, the effect of Dementor cannot be enhanced by increasing magic power. So this thing is like a spell to bet on luck. When you are lucky, you will have a lot of gains and bad luck, and you may expose yourself.
Secondly, in the wizarding world, there is a lot of magic that can enhance the mind, and there is a special closed brain to combat the dementor. Of course, that kind of magic is even more popular than Dementor, it is extremely complex and has a single effect, and it is generally not useful.
Finally, the use of dementor spells will leave mental damage to the subject, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic can hunt down the user in reverse through the magical breath remaining on the subject.
The superposition of multiple factors makes the Dementor Mantra, which looks so powerful, has been going downhill since it was invented.
Today, except for some black wizards and knowledgeable big wizards, few people will study dementor mantras.
But... whether a skill is good or not depends on the occasion.
At least on this occasion, the newly learned Dementor spell let Merlin seize the most important breakthrough.
The fragments of memory from this unknown soldier unfolded in Merlin's mind. Almost all scenes from his birth, growth, love, and breakup were known to Merlin.
Well, it seems that the soldier's will is not so firm.
Merlin quickly glanced at the fragments of memory, as if he were watching intermittent movies.
"This is not... this is useless. Wow, your private life is really chaotic."
Merlin frowned. He glanced at the peach-colored images in the soldier's mind. Within seconds, he successfully found what he needed.
It was in a dimly lit base, a tall figure in military uniform was assigning tasks to the soldiers in front of him.
"Jess! You took a team to protect Dr. Powell at the base camp."
"Team 2 follows me, Agent Simmons will be our guide... This time the task is very important! Don't relax!"
"Colonel Burns, we have discovered that signal appeared in California!"
"What are you waiting for! Leave now!"
The brief memory ended at this moment, and the soldier who had read the memory in front of him was already crumbling. He was under great mental pressure, and if he continued, the Dementor would cause irreversible permanent mental damage to the soldier in front of him.
"Obliviate! (Forgotten Curse)"
Merlin immediately withdrew his will. His wrist turned over. The next moment, a forgetting spell was thrown on the soldier, and Merlin's figure disappeared in place.
This process lasted less than 10 seconds, but Merlin had found what he needed.
In the soldier's memory, he found three important figures.
Dr. Powell, Agent Simmons and Colonel Burns.
Among them, Dr. Powell stayed at the base camp, and it was the remaining two people who took this team into action.
Merlin can be sure that from the memories of those two conductors, he will be able to discover the secrets he is looking for, the secrets about those mechanical lives.
For a super-executive agent, having a goal means acting. The black mist of Merlin's incarnation searched quickly in this temporary base. After a few minutes, he found an agent writing something in the tent in the corner.
The guy was wearing a black suit, with curly hair, and looked more than 30 years old. There was a serious breath all over his body. He frowned tightly, and said something silently in his mouth. The pen in his hand wrote in a notebook. Non-stop.
And his appearance matches the information found by Merlin, this guy should be Simmons... an agent of the Department of Defense.
Merlin thought the guy was writing confidential documents, and he looked curiously in the air. But the content on the notebook disappointed Merlin.
This guy is not writing any confidential documents at all, he is taking himself as the protagonist, according to his past experience, writing a story similar to a memoir...
"Agent's hobby?"
Merlin shook his head, and he appeared behind Agent Simmons. Between the waving of his wrists, the green light representing the sleeping spell was shot from the top of the wand and hit the Agent Simmons body with precision.
The will of an agent must be much stronger than that of the soldier whose private life was chaotic.
So before casting the Dementor, Merlin had to weaken the will of this guy who likes to write novels. As we all know, in sleep, human will is the most vulnerable.
Agent Simmons, hit by the Sleeping Curse, lay prone on the table almost immediately, and a few seconds later, a low snoring sound sounded in the tent.
Merlin stepped forward and lifted the guy's head up, opened his eyelids, facing each other.
"Legilimens! (Dementor)"
"Uh"
Again the same fragments of memory poured into Merlin's mind, but this time he saw much less memory. This proves that the agent in front of him is really a determined person.
However, as a secret agent, this guy knows too many secrets, even just a little, enough to surprise Merlin.
"Judy, no! Don't leave me..."
The first picture I saw was when Simons and his girlfriend broke up when they were young.
It seems that this guy is still an infatuated person.
Unfortunately, this soap opera was not what Merlin wanted. He quickly opened another piece of memory.
"The activity of the fire is a third weaker than when it was last observed. It should be in a state of deep sleep."
With the sound of dialogue, an unclear picture unfolded in front of Merlin's eyes.
It was like a secret base. In front of Simmons, it was a silver-grey metal pyramid surrounded by weird characters. It was fixed on the base in an inverted posture.
Worker Simmons looked at the huge metal obelisk from an upward perspective. He said to another person around him who seemed to be a researcher:
"What are the results of the wake-up test?"
"It can still wake up normally."
The researcher replied:
"Despite the weakening of the fire, its function has not decayed, it can still give any machine unimaginable vitality. But this kind of awakening is uncontrollable and irreversible."
"The secret contained within it will be the beginning of a new era for us."
Simmons said in a voice mixed with awe and vigilance:
"But if it falls into the hands of the bad guys, it will easily destroy our world. What I want to know most now is that these mechanical lives...NBE-1, where does it come from?"
Talking, Agent Simon turned around.
Merlin's breath also became heavier at this moment.
At the end of Agent Simmons's memory fragment, what came to mind was a huge, terrifying steel giant fixed on the wall of the base with cold frost.
It looks like a cyborg flying over the mountain, but no matter whether it is head or appearance, it is several times more than that of flying over the mountain.
The mechanical giant frozen in the secret base is silver-white, and the whole body is filled with a sharp domineering, even if it has been frozen, but on the anthropomorphic face, showing that contemptuous expression, can still It makes people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
It's like the feelings of the ancient people in the ancient times when facing the mysterious mythical creatures...
People can't help but want to worship.
"What exactly is this?"
Merlin raised a great shock and doubt in his heart:
"Is NBE-1 also a Cybertan? Why is it frozen in the base of the Ministry of Defense! The most important thing is...will it wake up?"
"Also, that mysterious fire, which can give mechanical vitality, what does this thing have to do with those Cybertronians?"
Merlin found the answer he wanted in this base, but the answer came with a larger unknown doubt. He can be sure that flying over the mountain concealed something from him, but the question now is, does flying over the mountain know the fire and the thing about the frozen, giant Titan?
Merlin narrowed his eyes as he continued to search through Agent Simmons' memory.
But the following memories are Simmons' memories of his past career, and there is nothing Merlin needs. He wanted to find the location of the secret base, but he found nothing.
Seeing that the sleeping Simmons began to tremble because of mental pressure, Merlin retreated slightly with consciousness.
He is not a cruel butcher, and he will not destroy an upright life because of his curiosity.
Although Agent Simmons is not a department with himself, it can be seen from his memory that he has also made his own efforts to protect order.
Although he has some less serious hobbies, it doesn't hurt.
"Uh"
The oblivion spell was cast on Agent Simmons' body. As the agent entered a steady sleep again, Merlin turned and left the tent.
He planned to go to Colonel Burns. He had a feeling that the final answer to the fire and the mechanical giant was in the mind of Colonel Burns.
However, just when Merlin was going to continue to go deep into the base to find the colonel, his communicator was suddenly activated.
The sound that flew over the urn of the mountain, and the lack of emotional wave sounded in Merlin's ears.
"The beach at the end of 3rd Street, to the northeast of you, under a reef of 1454 yards...I found B-127, but it was with a human girl, and its state was very wrong... Come on , Merlin!"
"I need your help!"
