"Merlin:"
"I promised you that I will find the truth about the murder of Richard and Mary. So far, I have not found much information. The activities of the group are low-key and secret. It is a very difficult opponent. "
"But they still made some mistakes. I have found the leaked channels of Richard and Mary. But I am not sure if the clues I found are true or those people deliberately left us misleading, but I think, Regardless of its truth, it is worth our time to investigate."
"According to my investigation, all the remaining clues point to an ancient organization. An organization called the "Assassin Alliance" or the "Shadow Alliance"."
"Hill should have told you about the Batman that appeared in Philadelphia and Chicago. The Batman was manipulated to attack some specific targets, and Natasha brought back a lot of useful news. I will now send these messages. Organize it for you."
"First of all, the few places where Batmen attacked were all strongholds of the local gangsters. They used a'airborne' method to brutally kill everyone in those strongholds."
"Second, those Batmen did not disappear. After attacking Philadelphia and Chicago, their third target was Gotham City on the east coast, but they seemed to have suffered some unexplained failure there."
"Finally, after the local gangs were destroyed, another force quickly took over the vacancies they left behind. I initially suspected the Ten Rings' handwriting, but I later discovered that there was also a shadow of the Assassin Alliance behind this incident."
"This is the most obvious thing we can find in recent years related to the Assassin League. Therefore, if you want to track down the Assassin League, you may be able to check from Gotham, but be careful, that place starts from a dozen Years ago, it was already a place of right and wrong."
Friedrich's content rolled in Merlin's mind.
These batmens currently do not seem to have direct contact with Hydra, but if they are related to the deaths of Richard and Mary, it means that Merlin must deal with it himself.
He opened his eyes and turned his office chair to the back. On the wall behind him, there was a map of the East Coast.
He looked at a city on the north coast of the map, he said:
"Gotham... Bruce, it seems that he was born there."
"I don't know, how is he doing now."
A few seconds later, Merlin sent an email to Fury's mailbox, stating that he would take his annual leave early in the next half month to go to the Maldives for a trip.
In less than 10 seconds, Fury's reply came.
There is only a very simple answer.
"agree."
Looking at the answer, Merlin smiled. He reached out his phone and dialed Coleson's number:
"Hello, Coulson, I will be on vacation for the next half month. The command of the department is temporarily in your hands as before. In addition, book a ticket for me to leave New York tonight."
After finishing the call, Merlin looked at the time. At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, um, it was time to leave work.
He turned off the computer, stood up, stretched his body in the office, then returned to his home with a shifting spell, changed to a more formal suit, and drove to the Mick Hall.
This afternoon, he and Agent Hill will have a meal together.
Speaking of Hill...
Merlin did not hate this girl, but employees within SHIELD were not allowed to fall in love, so this dinner was actually more grateful to Hill for bringing him back from Afghanistan.
Facts have proved that when Merlin needs help, his friend Hill will be a very qualified aider.

One day later, a cargo ship stopped in the dock area of Gotham City. When the dock workers began to prepare for unloading, Merlin slowly walked down the ramp from the cargo ship.
He walked among the crowd, but no one noticed him.
Like an invisible ghost.
Merlin looked at the wharf in front of him. It was noon, and people on the wharf looked busy and bustling. But the dilapidated warehouses around the pier and the gloomy weather in the sky put a gloomy color on the city in front of Merlin.
This is his first visit to Gotham.
To be honest, the first impression this city left him was bad.
At the corner of the pier, Merlin turned into a black raven, flapping his wings and flying over this cold city. From the dock area to the urban area, in just ten minutes, Merlin witnessed 5 robberies.
Hell, it's just in broad daylight, are criminals in this city rampant to such an extent?
This made Merlin frown.
But this is not his business, he came to Gotham for more important things.
"Woo"
In a sharp tweet, Merlin folded his wings and fell lightly on top of an abandoned building on the edge of the city, according to the address Fury gave him.
The building has been burnt by fire, the outer walls have become dark, and the inside is filled with the unpleasant smell after the flames burned. The scope of the fire seemed to be very large, and the houses around this building were terribly burnt down. The disaster that occurred a few months ago, this block has not been revived until now, and the sight is all withered. .
This is the final place for those Batman activities in Gotham.
Merlin crooked his head. In the bird's vision, he swept the surrounding environment. After confirming that there was no one else, Merlin raised his wings and fell into the interior of the burnt building, deformed in a miserable darkness. The spell's light shone, and he resumed his human form.
"Woo"
Dark red spirit Raven Victor appeared on Merlin's arm. Merlin said to his pet:
"Go look around and notify me when someone comes."
"Woo"
Victor screamed and spread his wings into the sky.
After doing all this, Merlin pushed his glasses and began to look for the clues he needed in this destroyed building.
But to be honest, the results were very disappointing.
This building was obviously "cleaned up". Merlin found some traces of fighting below the floor. On the burnt black wall, there were obvious bullet holes and claw marks similar to those left by animals. There are some sharp marks.
Merlin squatted on the ground. He stretched out his hand and shoved the remaining ashes from the ground. In the vision of Soulsight, Merlin could detect the debris left after the burning of some creatures in these ashes.
But relying on the wreckage alone, there is no way to find the information he needs.
"So, on that day, who killed those Batmen?"
Merlin was thinking in the ruins.
"There was obviously a big battle here, and more than one person had fought. It should be a gangster's stronghold. If you can find the surviving guys, or some intimate people that night, maybe you can find something interesting."
He looked around, and the ash-laden building had nothing to look at.
Merlin walked to the window, he recognized the direction, and then in the light of the Transfiguration Charm, a black raven quietly plunged into the gloomy sky of Gotham City.
A few minutes later, Merlin fell in the alley behind Gotham Police.
To investigate such attacks in the city, it is a very good choice to start from the files of the police station.
He scattered the shadow on his body, and then opened the back door of the police station with an unlocking curse. Surrounded by hundreds of busy policemen, Merlin was like a wandering man, slow and unobstructed. It slipped into the data room of the police station.
"It should be November 2000."
Merlin looked at the iron cabinet with documents in front of him. He found all case files for that month in chronological order. But what surprised Merlin was that on the day of the Batman attack, in addition to some common thieves and robbery information, in addition to a few fire records about the battle that night, There is no trace at all.
It's as if it doesn't exist at all.
"Not right."
Merlin looked at the file in front of him and said softly:
"Unless the policemen in this city are blind and deaf, or are there other forces that interfere with this?"
He picked up the fire report and looked at it.
This recording method of stealing the sky and changing the day seems to be the cover-up technique that the official has always used. Merlin glanced at the author of the fire report.
"Sheriff James Gordon?"
Merlin waved his hands and threw the files back into the filing cabinet. He moved his fingers and felt that it was necessary to "talk" with the Gordon Sheriff.
Gotham is a terrible place.
It is a bustling big city on the surface, but under the bright appearance, the city has already exuded the unpleasant rotten smell.
Hell really exists, it is in the slums of Gotham.
Unbearable poverty and a life without hope will prompt many people to take risks, and for Gotham, this is a normal way of life. The people who steal in this city are not meant to become rich. Many of them are for life and have to live in the worst way.
What is more terrible is that the bureaucracy that was originally used to maintain urban order has fallen under the attack of the golden bullets of those who have a lot of wealth but are called wealthy.
No one in the upper class pays attention to the suffering of the lower class. In the bright night, what is hidden is a real evil city.
In this respect, it is difficult to find the same human as Gotham in this world.
In such a place, being an honest police... is really a very difficult thing, it can be said to be quite difficult.
But where there is darkness, there must be a group of people who yearn for light.
James Gordon was one of them. He was born in Gotham, grew up in Gotham, and became a policeman here. He did not accept bribes, feared threats, and relied on courage and ability to step into the position of sheriff.
But this is also the end of his career.
In a system of corruption and corruption, it is difficult for an upright person to become a "partner" of others. It is already the simplest challenge to be excluded from colleagues.
In the afternoon, Sheriff James Gordon dragged his tired body back to his apartment. It was no different from the previous ten years. It was all the same bad. Various thefts, robberies and murders were Sheriff Gordon's daily work, and because of the inaction of colleagues, Sheriff Gordon has maintained high-intensity work all year round.
This made him in his 40s, when he was very young, with gray hair and a vicissitudes in his face.
He carried a box of pizza and opened the door of the room. He heard the cheerful laughter of his daughter, which gave Director Gordon a smile on his tired face.
Barbara is his only daughter. At the age of 15, he has a young son who is boarding at school, James Gordon Jr.
These two people are the most important pillars of Gordon's life. In a sense, Gordon fought in Gotham's hell, trying to maintain the last glare of the city, also for his children.
But when Gordon put down the pizza and was about to tell his daughter to have dinner, he suddenly heard a strange voice from a man.
"Uh"
Gordon's face changed dramatically, and he pulled out his pistol and rushed into his daughter's room.
In the ghost place of Gotham, never underestimate the lower limit of criminals, they have no such thing at all.
"boom"
Barbara's door was knocked open, sitting on the bed, the 15-year-old girl with an excited face to listen to the story was startled, she looked back at her nervous father, and then looked at the sitting Merlin on the chair, after a while, she said to Merlin:
"Look, my dad is back."
"Yes, I saw it."
Merlin didn't care about pointing at his pistol. His fingers moved slightly, and an Axifal seal that affected the intellect was thrown out invisible. The nervousness of Sergeant Gordon, who was originally nervous, became dazed at this moment, and the pistol in his hand was also put down.
"Mr. Gordon, I want to ask you something..."
Merlin stood up and smiled at Barbara behind him. He looked back at Gordon again, with a strange light shining in his eyes:
"Please answer me honestly."
Sergeant Gordon is undoubtedly a determined man, but faced with the double influence of Axial Seal and Dementor, he finally broke through the defense of his will after resisting for a few seconds.
Merlin quickly found in Gordon's memory what happened that night a few months ago.
The sword-bearing batsmen screaming and flying in the night, a group of heavily armed soldiers in black, a stern, commanding female agent, and a weird figure jumping up and down in the burning building of the night, and finally a Confidential orders directly from a high-level government organization.
In less than 3 seconds, Merlin got what he needed.
He reached out his hand and applied two forgetting spells to Gordon and Barbara. He walked out of the room, opened the pizza Gordon brought back, picked a slice from it, and pushed open the door of Gordon’s apartment while eating. In the sound of the elevator opening and closing, he left the place.
He already has a direction to track down.
"Sky Eye will...Amanda Waller."
"There is also the duty policeman dressed like a drama actor...Batman? What a strange name."
"The most important thing is, why dress up as a bat?"
