Merlin, who was finally free, sat on the train, and at this time, it was quiet midnight.
He was wearing a light windbreaker, wearing gloves, covering his face with a cowboy hat, leaning against the window, as if resting.
There was a travel bag at his feet, and at his hand was a small water bottle filled with water. He looked like an ordinary tourist, and seemed to be exhausted by the long journey.
The whole car was quiet, most passengers were resting, and one or two people who were still awake did not make a sound.
This car is bound for the central United States, and its destination is Madison, Wisconsin.
After walking through the land, Merlin finally decided to return to where it all started.
He hadn’t figured out what he would do in the future, and he didn’t know what other stories were waiting for him in the future, but after so many things, Merlin finally decided to face the emotions hidden deep in his heart, he would go back and see .
Look at father, mother, and his brother Phil, though, they don't remember him anymore.
"Click"
The door of the train compartment opened, and a person carrying a suitcase walked into the compartment.
He took a steady pace, approaching Merlin step by step. As the man was getting closer, Merlin's left hand, which seemed to have fallen asleep, moved manually, quietly holding the knife handle inserted in the boot.
The goal of the coming person is him... This is easy to feel.
But to Merlin's surprise, the man did not launch an attack.
Instead, he sat so carelessly on the chair opposite Merlin, put the suitcase at his feet, took off his hat, took off the frog mirror, then reached out and knocked on the table.
It's like saying hello.
Merlin took off the cowboy hat that blocked his face. He sat upright and looked at the person sitting opposite him.
A sturdy black man with short hair and sharp eyes. He seemed to have been a soldier. His body exudes a cold, unattractive breath. A hemostatic bandage was still attached to his forehead, and the wound appeared to have been left recently as if it had just been sutured.
This wound, which shouldn't appear, seriously damaged the indifferent temperament of this guy in front of him, making him look a little funny.
He looked at Merlin, and Merlin also looked at him.
"Do I know you? Sir?"
Merlin asked.
"No, you don't know."
The man shrugged and said to Merlin:
"But I know you, I knew you two years ago."
He took something out of his pocket and put it in front of Merlin.
It was a newspaper that had been cut down, and it was already a little yellow. The news about the Chicago bombing was written on it.
That was indeed what happened two years ago, an accident caused by Merlin.
"Introduce myself. My name is Nick Fury. I am a senior agent of the Strategic Science Corps. Since 2 years ago, I have been following news about you, Mr. 89084, or... should I call you, Merlin? "
Nick Fury glanced at Merlin's posture. He shook his head and said to Merlin patiently and calmly:
"Remove your hand from the knife handle, Merlin. I came here alone to express my sincerity."
"The battle between you and the Winter Soldier on the outskirts of Auckland cannot be concealed from us. Actually, my injury was left that night. I went to help you at that time. As a result, I lost 7 of the best fighters, even me I was almost buried in the explosion."
"You have been tracing me?"
Merlin let go of the handle holding the knife. He leaned on the seat and looked at Fury in front of him. He said:
"Why? At that time, I should still be a unknown shrouded in doom."
"Because this is our responsibility, Mr. Merlin."
Fury explained:
"The Strategic Science Corps is a defense organization. The prototype of this institution was established during World War II. It once helped Captain America. Steve Rogers defeated. After World War II, we collected a lot of dangerous things from Germany. Those things should not flow into the people."
"Since then, in addition to continuing its mission of defending the people, the Strategic Science Corps has also searched for and contained various dangerous items around the world."
"This includes some dangerous supernatural items and scientific artifacts that should not be spread, such as the bell you encountered in Chicago. And the design drawings of the "implosion" bombs used by the Winter Soldiers in battle, etc. ."
"Of course it includes some dangerous creatures."
Agent Frey glanced at Merlin, who said meaningfully:
"This world is not what ordinary people see. Under the appearance of order, this world hides many unknown forces. Mutants, aliens, and other special creatures, ghosts, demons, demons, or even bad intentions. Aliens and so on, you have already seen a part of this real world, and you even participated in it and became a member of them."
"That's why I paid attention to you from the beginning, Mr. Merlin. Do you think that letting a person like you walk in the city is something that doesn't need to be worried by the authorities?"
Fury's explanation made Merlin nod, and he could understand the logic.
No government can allow uncontrollable factors to integrate into the people. After knowing that there are supernatural creatures in the world, it is reasonable for the government to set up an agency to deal with these factors.
The only thing that has kept Merlin in doubt is the purpose of this institution.
He asked straightforwardly:
"So what are you going to do with my freak? Mr. Fury?"
"Should I grab me and throw me into prison? Or find some of these methods to wipe me out completely? Or simply, treat me as a mad scientist's test?"
Merlin's question was malicious, but Fury responded very easily. He knocked on the table and said to Merlin:
"neither!"
"We will provide you with a job, a job away from the people, will absorb you into us. If you don’t want to accept it, then we will give you a new identity and prepare a house for you in certain safe areas. , A new life, on the premise that you have to accept our supervision. This is a... well, prudent defense measures."
He looked at Merlin, he said:
"Of course, that is the future. You just helped us solve the most dangerous and ugly maniac killer of the last era. I think that we should be able to talk calmly, right? "
Merlin did not answer immediately, he made a "please" gesture.
Fury leaned forward, he was lying on the table, he looked at Merlin:
"What did you see on the night of December 17, 1991?"
"I saw the whole process of how the Howards were killed."
Merlin did not conceal anything:
"Their brakes failed and hit trees on the roadside. I wanted to help, but Mr. Howard, who was seriously injured at the time, asked me to leave with his wife and something in the trunk. But the Winter Soldier came too It's almost time, I want to take them away, but I can't do it. The Winter Soldier hit Mr. Howard. In the struggle between me and him, those things are also broken."
"What it is?"
Fury asked solemnly, Merlin gave him a glance, and asked unexpectedly:
"Don't you know what that is?"
"I am not sure."
Fury said:
"Mr. Howard’s position in the Strategic Science Corps is detached. He is one of the founders of the institution. He has a very high degree of autonomy. What he wants to study and what he has studied is difficult for others to know. But I I think that what caused Mr. Howard to kill him is definitely not a mess... super soldier serum, right?"
"Ok"
Merlin nodded and said to Fury:
"A total of 5 bags of serum. In the explosion I triggered, most of the liquid was evaporated to dryness. In the end, only a small bag was left, just a little residue. When Mr. Howard was dying, he told me to direct that thing directly. Drink it..."
"Did you drink?"
Freed squinted, and Merlin shook his head:
"I didn't drink it directly."
"I injected it..."
In Fury's gaze, Merlin reached out and took Fury's sunglasses on the table. With five fingers tightening, the sunglasses made a low click. After a while, a pile of glass powder appeared on the table. The frame of the frog mirror has been rubbed into a small metal ball by Merlin with two fingers.
"it's a pity."
Fury looked at the mass of powder and said with regret:
"That's my favorite glasses..."
"Uh, I will pay you."
Merlin gave a little embarrassment, he apologized to Fury, and then looked at him calmly, he said:
"I don't want to do this. In fact, I've been thinking about whether to return it to you. But unfortunately, the Winter Soldier has been chasing me down, nowhere, I can only take a risk."
"No, we didn't blame you, Mr. Merlin. The injection of serum by you is better than falling into the hands of someone like the Winter Soldier."
Fury stood up. He seemed to have finished asking. He lifted his suitcase and subconsciously wanted to grab his sunglasses in his pocket, but he grabbed an empty one.
Fury looked back at the powder on the table. He shrugged and said to Merlin:
"But since you have been injected with serum, come with me."
"The next conversation is not for me to tell you, there is a person who is worthy of respect waiting for you. I guess, you should hear her name."
"What if I don't want to go?"
Merlin sat in the seat without getting up. He looked at Fury and he said:
"Maybe I don’t think I should have a relationship with you?"
Hearing Merlin’s words, Fury’s progress stopped, he looked back at Merlin, his sharp eyes shining with the smile of the winning ticket, he said:
"You know, Mr. Merlin, scientific research is a very complicated thing, something like the super soldier serum, although it has appeared decades ago, its structure and composition are still a mystery today. "
"That kind of stuff is not just finished after the injection... If you want to safely pass the upcoming conversion period, then I believe that you will make the right choice. After all, you are going to see it, but then The person who helped Captain America complete the conversion training..."
"She is probably the best person in the world who knows the super soldier serum."
"So, are you sure, are you going to refuse?"

Although Merlin would like to refuse Fury, but ten minutes later, he followed Fury honestly and returned to an upscale hotel in downtown Oakland.
The big man in Frye's mouth was waiting for him in a hotel room.
It was a lady in a wheelchair, wearing a black floral skirt, black hair mixed with white hair was curled up, and there was a little wrinkle on her face, but when she laughed, she still had a charm.
It's like a weathered old man.
But outside her room, the dozen or so fierce breathing, armed guards, and this completely emptied hotel, all represented her identity and power.
"Hello, Merlin. My name is Peggy Carter, director of the Strategic Science Corps. Of course, you children may be more familiar with my other identity..."
The lady smiled, she said calmly:
"I am indeed the girlfriend of Captain America Steve Rogers, but that was more than 40 years ago."
"Sit down, Merlin, no need to be nervous. Let's have a good chat, about your serum, about your past, and, about your future."
Merlin honestly sat on the sofa opposite the lady. Although Ms. Carter spoke very kindly, as a real power person who has led the Strategic Science Corps for more than 40 years and has experienced war baptism, she has a gentle voice A hint of irresistible meaning.
In the face of such a lady, no matter what she said, Merlin would subconsciously obey.
Perhaps this is the personality charm that people often say.
"I heard your story from Fury, Merlin, they all said you were a dangerous person, but I don't think so."
Ms. Carter looked at Merlin and she said:
"I saw your deeds of saving people, in Central City, in Ci En Port, and this time in Auckland. Yes, there are indeed many people who were injured or even died because of you, but you also saved a lot of people, which is even more valuable. Yes, no one asked you to do this..."
"You decided to do it yourself."
"Being forced to do good deeds and doing good deeds voluntarily may have the same result, but for the rescuer itself, they are two completely different concepts. When I see you, I always involuntarily Think of Steve...Although you and him may be two completely different people."
Ms. Carter folded her hands on her abdomen. She said to Merlin:
"Take off your glasses, Merlin, let me see your face."
This request made Merlin hesitant. He said:
"Ms. Carter, my eyes may scare you..."
"scaring me?"
Peggy Carter made a burst of laughter. She looked at Merlin. She said:
"Boy, I have experienced too many strange, bad, disgusting, or sad things in my life. I have seen too many things, but none of them can scare me...Look, how Beautiful eyes, like the most beautiful embers after the flames burned out."
Ms. Carter turned her wheelchair and came to Merlin. She reached out her hand and gently touched Merlin's cheek, observing his eyes, just like looking at the most beautiful gem in the world.
In Ms. Carter's eyes, Merlin did not feel any disgust or resistance. This was the first time he had been treated so kindly by strangers.
He was somewhat at a loss, not knowing how to respond to this sincere goodwill.
Until a few minutes later, Ms. Carter's wheelchair backed a little. She squinted and with a soft smile, she said to Merlin:
"Merlin, do you want to be a hero? Just like Steve."
"I..."
It is no exaggeration to say that every child in this land grew up listening to the legendary story of Captain America when he was young. When facing Carter's problems, he was speechless.
Ms Carter smiled and said to Merlin:
"I know, I know that the perfect person like Steve may be the only one."
"But he has everything that you have. You have all seen darkness, you all yearn for light, you are all willing to help others, all have compassion for the victims, and even the source of strength is exactly the same... ."
Ms. Carter reached out and gently held Merlin's slightly cold hands. She said softly, with a hint of encouragement:
"Merlin, give yourself a chance, give it a try."
