Secrets are abominable things.
Merlin, who was searching for clues in the basement, once again deeply understood the truth.
When he and Ms. Carter just met, in his eyes, Ms. Carter was just a kind old lady.
Then he went to work in SHIELD, Ms. Carter’s image became a powerful agent master, and then Ms. Carter and the old Steve
elope
, and Ms. Carter’s image became a hidden secret. Old witch.
You see, secrets like this always make people look ugly.
Of course, Tucao is Tucao, and the things that should be done are still to be done.
In the basement below Ms. Carter’s house for several years, Merlin found many documents arranged in chronological order, including most of the major events in the entire world after World War II and the 1990s. Summarize.
Merlin found many interesting things in it.
For example, the leader of the mutants, the magnetic king of Eric Magnet, who was able to manipulate the magnetic force, was hated by government agencies and was constantly pursued, not only because of his dangerous thoughts, but also because Magnet had participated in the campaign against President Kennedy. Assassination.
For example, Ms. Carter had been in contact with the undersea people in the 1970s, and she also helped an escaped Atlantis princess. It is said that her highness princess fell in love with a mortal and was chased and killed by the undersea people. Then with the help of Ms. Carter, she escaped with a fake death.
Wait, how is this story so similar to the story of Arthur’s parents in Maine?
Is the princess of the underwater people like land people and elopement, is it the tradition of Atlantis?
Another example is that the North American government hates Magneto so much, but it has never killed the Mutant Brotherhood behind him, not simply because the Mutant Brotherhood is powerful, or because in the earlier time, Magneto and Professor X had Together, they stopped the Cuban missile crisis, which was almost a gunfire.
That is to say, the leader of the mutants saved the human civilization that was almost caught in the war of destruction.
Seeing the records of these secret events with your own eyes is like walking in a real historical corridor in person. The feeling of ingesting secrets dispelled Merlin's inner doubts.
But he did not forget his purpose of coming here.
He put those files in his pocket, while collecting other materials, while continuing to search in this basement, in this dark basement, he said to himself:
"Maybe when you are free, you can use these secret files as a lace tabloid to relieve boredom."
After a while, Merlin had a harvest. He took out some of Carter’s diaries from a box.
Well, as an agent, the habit of keeping a diary is really bad.
Merlin still remembers that Tony Stark was looking for his trace in the world, and finally he found the clue from Ms. Carter’s calendar.
But what do you say?
Considering that Ms. Carter's age is old and her memory has declined, in order to prevent herself from forgetting some important things, it will make sense to record them in the form of a diary.
Not everyone wants to bring secrets to the grave.
What's more, from Merlin's perspective, Ms. Carter's diary does not seem to be so simple. She seems to be leaving clues deliberately, maybe she foresees something that is not very good.
Merlin leaned against the darkness, and he opened his diary.
"August 14, 1989:"
"Michelle Carson has a problem with this person. He presided over an unauthorized operation a few months ago and tried to steal the Pim particles from Pim as a treasure. The result was found to directly lead Pim and Howard. Conflict. I now feel more and more that this may be a well-designed conspiracy, the purpose is to split the two think tanks of the Strategic Science Corps."
"I'm getting slower and slower, the effect of SSS serum is undoubtedly declining, I should have discovered this fact earlier, but it's too late now. Pim can't listen to any explanation, Janet's tragedy stunned His mind made him more cynical and his behavior was more and more extreme. Perhaps Pierce’s suggestion was correct, and it’s a good thing to let Pimm leave.

"But Michelle, he left a month ago, and now he has become the legal department manager of a technology company...maybe he was corrupted by money, it is a pity."
This diary seems to be about Pim Hank's breakup with the Strategic Science Corps, and Merlin knows the whole story.
But in Ms. Carter's diary, there was an SSS serum agent unheard of by Merlin, which made him puzzled and curious.
He flipped backwards, and in a diary in the back, he found information about SSS serum.
"August 8.1989:"
"SSS serum is still a problem, although Professor Berthold Sternberg warned us when he first made the serum, this unstable serum may be invalid at any time. But now it seems that SSS The follow-up research plan for the pharmacy must be canceled. Dr. Sternberg has been missing for several years, and no one can complete the incomplete, even incomprehensible formula he left behind."
"The smartest person I know, my good friend Howard gave me a good rest, he will find a way to treat me, but from Howard's eyes, I saw a touch of sadness, I know, I probably haven't run out of time."
"Steve came to see me at midnight. I didn’t want him to see me suddenly aging like he was going to die, but Steve didn’t care about it. I could feel the attachment and love in his eyes, which made me feel happy. ."
"I used to think that I would end up lonely with the thoughts of him, but the benevolent God still let him return to me. At my bedside, my Steve told me that he would save me. "
"Steve's determined expression worried me a little. I can't guess what method he would use to save me, but maybe, he would take risks for this, but he is old and no longer a young warrior. .. I don’t want him to be hurt as a result."
"I said my worries, but Steve told me that Howard would go with him? Could it be that Howard already knew the secret of Steve's existence? Or was Steve destined to tell him? Why should he be like this? do?"
The last few questions left in this diary made Merlin stop reading.
If Howard Stark knew about the existence of old Steve before his death, why didn't Steve come forward to save his friends when Howard encountered a crisis?
The former Captain America should not sit back and watch his friends in danger.
Or... is this all planned by Howard Stark? He planned his death?
"No, not like this!"
Merlin shook his head, he analyzed:
"If you start from this perspective, a more reasonable explanation should be, Howard Stark, in fact, is not dead at all? The scene I saw with my own eyes was just a scene in which I foresee the crisis and thus escaped from death?"
"This is interesting."
"Unfortunately this question is doomed to be unanswered now. Whether it is Old Steve or Howard Stark, they are well-thought-out people. If there is some kind of secret between them, then unless I really Find them, otherwise it will be difficult for me to guess the truth."
Merlin regretted putting this idea aside.
He continued to open his diary and looked further.
"1991.2.12:"
"He is back!"
"Just like a ghost, he returned in the middle of the night. Steve, who has been around for more than a year, looks like a servant. He is getting older than I remember, like a real old man, not a superhero."
"Steve told me that he found a way to save me. But I need to go with him to an ancient country in the East. It is said that in a mountain, a secret that has been passed on for thousands of kilometers is recorded."
"It is said that the original origin of the SSS serum is there, and if we can find the knowledge of that origin, maybe we can make a real SSS serum instead of the now dangerous dangerous incomplete products."
"But it doesn't make me feel at ease!"
"As someone dealing with secrets, I know that exploring any secret has a price. Steve must have kept some important information from me, for example, how did he know the origin of SSS serum? Who shared this secret? For him?"
"I know that if I question Steve directly, he certainly won't tell me that he is sometimes just as stubborn as a child."
"We will set off in a week, I hope that during this trip, I can find the information hidden by Steve, I don't want my lover to take risks for me again."
"If I need Steve to bear the terrible cost of living, then...I would rather die."
"I hope everything goes well."
"They should have found Daisy during this trip. Is this SSS serum related to strangers?"
Merlin suppressed his inner speculation. He continued to turn the diary backwards. After skipping several travel notes of Ms. Carter and the old Steve, several pages of the diary were torn off, which caused Merlin to frown.
The torn pages should be the specific process of their exploration in the ancient eastern country, but it seems that there are secrets that Merlin cannot know.
On the next page, Merlin saw Ms. Carter’s summary of that exploration.
"3.7.1991:"
"After a long journey, we returned to New York... This trip was too tiring and crisis-ridden."
"The Hydra, the organization that I thought had disappeared for a long time, actually appeared again. Although the leader Red Skull was lost, their power did not seem to be completely eliminated, but it was like the Strategic Science Corps. These decades."
"This is unmistakable bad news."
"Steve and I are aware of the seriousness of the problem. If the Hydra’s will persists, then it means that in the "paper clip" operation that I presided over, there must be some Hydra molecules that are good at disguising. To the Strategic Science Corps."
"When we didn't find out, the dark seeds had been planted in the vigorously growing tree, which absorbed the nutrients of the tree and was growing, which would eventually destroy us from the inside."
"If it weren't for this unexpected trip, the venomous snakes hiding in the dark would eventually replace us in a grand way, live freely in the sun, and use the economy and power to wantonly transform the world of the new century."
"Not good, so bad."
"Steve rushed to the base where the "paper clip" action materials were stored, but I think it is too late to make up for the mistakes of the year."
"Perhaps at this moment, it is also the best choice to let the Strategic Science Corps disintegrate, but this matter has to take its time, to find a perfect opportunity to let this organization that I have been serving for a lifetime be taken care of by me The fire that I ignited myself was completely burned."
"After Steve’s departure, I left the little Daisy that we took back to New York alone at the door of the St. Agnes Orphanage. This is a poor child. Although I don’t know the ones who burned down the mountain manor Why did the Hydra catch this child, but if it is what Hydra needs, then I better not let them get it."
"I will prepare a fake identity for this child. I will do my best to protect her. Her life must be kept secret. The kind nuns and priests in the St. Agnes Orphanage will raise her up."
"In March 1991, the St. Agnes Orphanage, where the baby was placed at the door at night, was a girl."
Merlin's eyes narrowed. There were not many children who met these three conditions, and the appearance of a child he had met with him before, which he had seen with his own eyes, also appeared before him.
"It's Ada."
"That doomed little Ida!"
"Jiaying's daughter, a stranger who may destroy the world in the future... has always been by my side?"
At this moment, Merlin did not feel the impermanence of fate. On the contrary, he felt an indescribable horror.
The feeling that appeared several times in the past, once again came to his mind.
"Arranged...all this is arranged."
Merlin closed his eyes and said:
"Interlocking, how many secrets have you buried beside me?"
"The most important thing is, what do you want me to do?"
His finger unconsciously shook the diary in his hand and brought it to the last page. This time the time span was quite large, and it also recorded another thing that surprised Merlin.
"1995.1.6:"
"I failed..."
"I underestimated the hidden power of Hydra, and I also underestimated Fury's obsession with order maintenance, even though he had been informed in advance about the strategic scientific legion being split, but he was still reluctant to accept this. As a result, it also reversed all my secret arrangements."
"But this is not to blame him. For the sake of secrecy, I did not tell Fury the news of the reappearance of the Hydra. Maybe I made a mistake, but think about it and let Fury stick to the enemies, Constantly attracting Hydra’s attention may be a better choice."
"Agents need to have a hole card at any time. Fury is in the light. I am dark. After going through this incident, those Hydra must be celebrating each other, and Fury's new S.H.I.E.L.D. will surely become the nine heads. The snake’s next hideout."
"This is actually a good thing. It's too difficult to pull them out of the darkness one by one, and if they get together, they may be able to wipe out all the Hydra in a single net with a precise capture operation! It's like putting it down A bait, waiting for the gathering of greedy fish."
"And Fury, who is stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, may give me a surprise. This agent I recruited by myself does have a personality defect, but if he is sharp enough and collects enough information, maybe he can Stop the deterioration in advance."
"To be honest, being defeated by the "students" taught by myself is not something that makes people feel happy, but I have nothing to do with the matter."
"I want to "disappear"."
"Only by jumping out of the plight of the quagmire can I get a better overview. But before leaving, I should choose a helper for Fury..."
"Old Steve suggested to me that maybe Merlin Riley, who was recruited by me and had an unknown destiny, was a very good candidate."
