"Are you Barry?"
In Central City, at the home of Sheriff Joe West, Merlin handed the cane to Agent Jimmy, who was struggling to help the chief hold the heavy steel cane.
Merlin crouched down and stood in front of a gloomy boy. He looked at the child filled with sadness in front of him. He said in a gentle tone:
"I'm your father's friend, Barry, you can call me Uncle Merlin."
Barry did not answer, but the little black girl with braids who was sitting next to Barry said to Merlin:
"Barry didn't speak. He's been like this since yesterday. When my dad brought him back, he was like that."
"Barry didn't speak because Barry was sad."
Merlin said to the little girl:
"Are you a friend of Barry? Cute little girl."
"My name is Ayers West."
The little girl looked at Barry and she said:
"I want to be his friend, but Barry doesn't talk to me."
"You will definitely be his good friend."
Merlin smiled at the little girl. He looked back at the small bar. He said:
"You want to see your father, right? Little Barry."
Little Barry, who had not responded, raised his head immediately after hearing this sentence. He stared at Merlin. The 8-year-old said:
"Yes, Joe won't let me see my dad, Merlin...Uncle, can you help me? Can you take me to see my dad?"
"of course."
Merlin stretched out his finger and scraped Barry's nose. He said to the child:
"Of course I will help you, but I need you to promise me one thing."
"what's up?"
Barry stood up and looked at Merlin. Merlin pointed to Ares behind Barry. He said:
"After we come back, you want to be friends with Ayers, best friends, can you promise me?"
"Ok!"
Barry nodded vigorously. He turned around and gave Ayers a hug, then kissed on Ayers' cheek. This is how children represent intimacy.
Ayres was a little caught off guard, she screamed and pushed away Barry, and then ran into her room.
Barry didn't care, he looked back at Merlin, he said:
"Uncle Merlin, me and Iris are friends. Can you take me to see my dad?"
"It's such a clever ghost."
Merlin reached out and touched Barry's hair. He said to Barry:
"You close your eyes and count 1, 2, 3, after you count, you can see your father."
"You won't lie to me?"
Barry looked at Merlin with suspicion. The latter shrugged and smiled his pale face. He said:
"I'm your father's friend, how can I lie to you?"
Barry took a deep breath. He closed his eyes, held out his fingers, and counted softly:
"1, 2..."
Merlin put his hand on Barry's shoulder and wrapped Barry magically. The next moment, he and Barry disappeared into the room.
The Shifting Mantra is very oppressive to ordinary people’s spirits. Merlin has to maintain his magic carefully so as not to hurt the spirit of Barry, but Rao is so. When Barry opened his eyes, the child’s face was still white and his head was still white. Also dizzy.
But his father really appeared before him.
The haggard Henry was staying in his cell. The moment he turned around, he saw Merlin and Barry, his son, who appeared suddenly.
"father!"
Barry screamed, and the whole person rushed towards Henry.
Henry unconsciously opened his arms and hugged his son tightly in his arms.
The child's voice caught the detective's attention, but when he walked over, he saw Merlin's indifferent face blocking the door of the cell, holding the black document in Merlin's hand, causing the detective to shrug. .
He turned and left without disturbing the brief meeting of the father and son.
Merlin sent the detective away, and he looked back at Henry who was kneeling on the ground, helping Barry to sort out his clothes and hair.
His movements were so gentle and so full of emotions that Merlin couldn't bear to look at them anymore.
He knew that under Henry's stubbornness and the protection of his children, there were too few things he could do. Even secret agents cannot force a person to avoid their responsibilities.
Just ten minutes later, after Merlin sent Barry back to Officer Joe West's house, an unexpected person appeared beside Merlin with a shifting spell.
"Sir, there is urgent news from Agent Colson!"
S.D.O.L.D. special affairs consultant in a small uniform, with a toad mirror and a wooden wand-like wand hanging around his waist, the "little dwarf" Dobi accurately emerged from the halo of the migrating spell and appeared in Merlin.
Merlin looked at the gasping little dwarf, he knew that the trouble was coming again.
Both Coulson and Melinda, as well as Sharon, knew Dobby's existence, but they generally would not ask Dobby to send them a message. Dobby performed more important tasks.
But now that Dobby is here, it means something has to happen that Coulson cannot ignore.
Merlin sighed in relief as he looked at Dobby.
Merlin, a little tired because of Matt and Henry, asked in a low voice:
"whats the matter?"
Dobby sneaked a glance at the uncomfortable expression of the chief. The special adviser, nicknamed "little dwarf," hesitated, not knowing whether to tell Merlin the bad news.
But its hesitation caused Merlin's scolding.
"Dobby! Tell me, what happened!"
"Yes!"
Hearing his name, Dobbi straightened his body subconsciously. He hesitated for 2 seconds, then lowered his voice and said to Merlin:
"A crash occurred in South America...Two SHIELD research agents were killed in the incident. They... They are, Mr. Richard Parker and Ms. Mary Parker..."
Merlin's body shook at this moment, he looked a little shaky, his face turned pale at this moment, and the light in his eyes was as cold as the cold wind.
He looked at Dobby, who seemed to eat human eyes, making Dobby step back in fear.
"Where...where?"
Merlin's voice has never been so exhausted as he is now, he asked in a weird, non-undulating tone.
"Take me over."
With a slight tick of his finger, the steel cane held by Agent Jimmy fell into his hand.
Dobby reached out and put on Merlin's cane.
In the case of Merlin, this kind of shifting spell across continents still allows Dobby to release a little better.
In the dance of the little dwarf's fingers, the two disappeared in place in the distortion of light.
When they appeared again, they had crossed a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers and came to a remote canyon in the territory of Bolivar. Several military vehicles and S.H.I.E.L.D. official vehicles were parked in the canyon. At the bottom of the canyon, the wreckage of planes scattered within a few kilometers and still emitting black smoke looked like that. miserable.
So bleak...
"Have you found someone?"
Merlin stood at the top of the canyon. He looked at the scene of the disaster. At this moment, he realized that he had asked a stupid question. Looking at the state of the broken wreckage of the plane, he should know that under such circumstances, It is no longer possible to find the complete body.
He has only met with the Richards, but they are not just colleagues but family members. He had promised that the Richards would take care of their child Peter, but now...
What should he do to bring this bad news to his cousin's house?
After Peter grew up, what should he tell the child about this fact?
"boom"
Merlin seemed to have suddenly lost his strength. He was sitting on the ground all the way, startling the little dwarf next to him.
He sat there, staring at the wreckage below, he said:
"What exactly is going on..."
"Why... why is this happening?"
"One by one, is this proving something? Is this... reminding me?"
"you guys..."
Merlin clenched his fists. He looked at the sky. He gritted his teeth and said, word by word:
"What the do you want to do!"
—
"We don't want to do anything."
At the gaming table at the end of the stars, Saber also looked at the things in front of him with a surprised look. He is like explaining himself, saying:
"It really has nothing to do with us... at least it has nothing to do with me."
He turned his head to look at the death on the other side, he said:
"Is this what you did?"
Reaper didn’t look at him. The indifferent elf casually said:
"Am I like such a boring person?"
After a few seconds, Death’s tone also became a bit hesitant. Looking at the light curtain in front of him with one eye, he said:
"It looks like it seems that several lines ushered in a turning point at the same time... he is really, really unlucky."
"But I guess he wouldn't listen anymore if you explain it."
Overlord looked at the light curtain in front of him. He looked at Merlin's eyes filled with hatred and anger on the light curtain. He shrugged:
"Looking at his eyes, he hated us already. I really want to beat us up or even kill us... although he doesn't know our existence."
"No problem."
The of death calmly said like ice:
"The sharpening of the soul is also a trial. If he finally has the ability to vent his anger to us, then I will gladly accept this challenge. No explanation, no intervention, mediocre experience cannot breed greatness, let me see Look..."
"Under this pressure, what choice will he make."
—
In the afternoon of the next day, in the light of dusk, Merlin dragged his tired body, leaned on his cane, and walked into the St. Matthew's Church.
He sat in his previous position, closed his eyes, and set his cane aside, as if he continued to think about the answers to yesterday's questions that were not answered.
Ten minutes later, as yesterday, Father Paul, who had completed the sermon, walked into the church with the scriptures.
He saw Merlin at a glance.
I also saw the kind of sorrow and heavyness wrapped around Merlin. It seems that this young man has just experienced some very bad things.
The priest did not disturb Merlin immediately.
He knew that what Merlin needed now was to be alone and quiet.
So the priest went to the church and sat on a daily clean-up and reorganization. Until an hour later, Father Paul, who had finished a prayer, stood up. He looked back at Merlin, who was like a sculpture, just sitting in a chair, motionless.
This worried the priest a little. He came to Merlin and he looked at Merlin.
Although the latter closed his eyes, he also felt the approach of the priest. At the moment Father Paul spoke, Merlin suddenly asked in a hoarse voice:
"Father, I feel terrible."
"why?"
Father Paul asked, Merlin opened his eyes, and through the lens of the glasses, the priest could see the blaze of fire in Merlin's eyes.
The latter said in a low, sad voice:
"I have witnessed the tragic things, the things that have risen because of me, the evil consequences that have come from me, I want to avenge those tragic things, but I don’t know where to stab the sword, I want to vent the flames in my heart, but I don’t know where to ignite...can you enlighten me?"
"People who want to hurt us always exist, Merlin."
The priest held the scriptures, and in the evening when he spilled into the church, he told Merlin
"In order to protect ourselves, we do not hesitate to awaken the inner devil. When something cherished is taken away, our first reaction is revenge..."
"It's normal, Merlin, everyone has their own demons, it doesn't mean you have a problem."
Facing the priest's enlightenment, Merlin said nothing. After a few seconds, he said:
"I want to beat those who hurt them, I want to kill them, I want to see their blood overflowing the ground, I want to bury them, I want to listen to the screams when they rot under the dirt. .."
"I want to destroy their world and destroy their lives, just like the people they care about for me, the ones I love, do all this, this kind of thinking, does it mean that I am a bad person? "
Unlike the bland voice before, when Merlin said his inner thoughts, the sound of clenching teeth, the twisted expression, the flames in his eyes seemed to let Father Paul see a demon awakening in the church.
Maybe it's not an illusion...
But in response to Merlin's inquiry, Father Paul remained silent for a few seconds. He made a cross on his chest. He said to Merlin:
"No... it just means you are an ordinary person."
"Yeah, I'm just an ordinary person."
Merlin leaned back in his chair. He looked at the sculpture of Christ in front of him. He said:
"I'm an ordinary person, so I can't destroy, I can't save, I can't stop bad things, I can't do good things..."
"I want to do good things, I always want to do good things, I work very hard to do good things, and do my best to do good things. But why, my efforts are always accompanied by frustration, always accompanied by pain, always accompanied by injury... "
"How do I become a person that others can rely on..."
Merlin closed his eyes and said weakly:
"Teach me, priest..."
"This question is too difficult..."
