In the afternoon, the furniture ordered by Merlin was finally delivered. After the layout was completed, the empty house finally seemed like a home.
Merlin used the bank card that Fury gave him, withdrew some money from the funds set aside for the task, and then took his new partner, Silvet, out for a turn, buying some necessities and some food.
Because of his job needs, Hewitt also got a brand new computer. He assembled the computer with ease in Merlin's garage, and sorted out a humble office for himself.
Fortunately, Merlin was a somewhat conscientious boss, and he didn't let Sylvett take care of himself.
"This is the work allowance I advance to you."
Merlin stood beside Silvert and placed a few hundred dollars on his desk. He pointed to the house next to him, and said to the energetic Helvett:
"Your room is on the second floor. If you want to eat something, go to the kitchen. Occasionally one of my distant cousins will go home and live. I will take you to dinner with him someday and get to know each other."
"Oh, yes, and this!"
Merlin took out his chest-mounted holster and his matching gun from his car, and put the thing in front of Silvert, he said:
"Every time you go out, remember to bring this."
"Uh, sir, I am not an official agent yet."
Silvert touched his thinning hair and he said to Merlin:
"According to regulations, I can't hold a gun yet."
"Listen, Silvert, this is for you."
Merlin said with a long heart:
"The Hell's Kitchen is a terrible place. The security here is very poor. It is totally incomparable to the environment when you were in the Secret Service Academy. I don't want to receive news that you were robbed and injured when I was out on a mission."
"You are also a public officer now, you work for me, I have to guarantee your safety. This thing is not for you to hurt people, but for you to protect yourself."
"OK then."
Rookie Hewitt put the holster and pistol in the drawer of this second-hand desk. He told Merlin:
"Then sir, when will we start the mission?"
"tonight."
Merlin looked at his watch and he said to Hewitt:
"I'm going out now. I'll be back at about midnight."
"What about me? What am I doing?"
Silveret was stunned for a moment, and he asked carefully:
"I don't need to go out with you, right?"
"Why? Are you afraid of going out in the field?"
Merlin asked back, and Silvet smiled.
Merlin opened the door and said to the partner behind him:
"You can go to rest first, make dinner for yourself, and search and organize the information from tomorrow. Or...you can help me clean the room if you really have nothing to do."
"Om"
Merlin started the car. He lowered the window and told Silvette behind him:
"Call me if you have any questions."
After talking, the black car rushed out of the garage, turned into the road in front of it, and soon disappeared into the block.
Watching Merlin leave, trainee agent Hilvert stood on his hips and stood in the garage. He looked at the shabby office in front of him and said to himself:
"It's not difficult to deal with, although it seems a bit stingy. So what should I do now?"
The trainee agent thought about it. After a few minutes, he picked up the vacuum cleaner and walked into the room.
Well, just think of cleaning as the first task of his upcoming agent career!
—
Merlin drove the car, wandering in the night of Hell's Kitchen.
The speed of the car is not fast. As the vehicle moves forward, Merlin's dark perception is like a moving heterogeneous radar, passing through this remote street. He is using this search method to find hidden aliens.
This method is very inefficient, but it is the best way Merlin can think of.
The aliens would pretend to be like the guys that Merlin had met in Hell's Kitchen before. They were not really dark creatures.
Many are infested with consciousness by ghosts or little demons. They are essentially humans, but they have already crossed the boundaries of spiritual events, and have more or less some strange abilities.
These people are the instability factors in Fury's eyes, and are the targets Merlin needs to find out from the vast crowds of New York.
In addition to these weak aliens, there are some more powerful ones.
Some dark creatures that rush into the human world from or other places, such as pure blood demons and demons that exist as entities.
Some fantasy creatures hidden in humans, such as vampires and werewolves who often wander around in the night.
Theoretically, a submarine like Vico is also a goal to be recorded in Merlin's mission.
But contact with these guys is risky.
Merlin must hide himself, then approach and observe them quietly.
Finally, some dangerous creatures that Merlin needs to avoid temporarily, some very powerful guys.
For example, in the Wall Street neighborhood of Manhattan, Merlin once discovered a dangerous half-devil. That guy gave Merlin the feeling that he was facing a real super-level demon. The demon breath from that guy even covered Wall Street.
It does not cover up its existence at all, indicating that it is very confident in its own strength, as if to warn its peers not to provoke it.
Merlin had collected information about the guy, and he knew that the half-magic was called Dimon.
His apparent identity is the owner of an investment company on Wall Street, and he often enters and exits the upper-class society of New York.
And there are several powerful half-magic like Dimon in the Manhattan area. There is a clear distinction between them. The river does not violate the well water, and it seems to have its own fixed sphere of influence.
"Click"
With a soft sound, Merlin's camera disguised as a cigarette case was retracted.
On the street beside him, there is a couple who is kissing passionately, and the lady in that couple looks beautiful, but in Merlin’s dark perception, the dark magic she emits is obvious, it should be a disguised adult The cub succubus.
"Well, good luck, brother."
Merlin gave pity to the fluttering man. He shook his head, turned the steering wheel, and left the intersection.
He is only responsible for records, not for saving people.
And based on Merlin's personal experience, most people who can be related to the devil are not worth saving.
In the next block, it was a place close to the edge of Manhattan that Merlin had never been to before.
But here, he discovered something unexpectedly.
He parked his car on the side of the road and looked at the bar on the edge of the block in front of him, or a nightclub.
In Merlin's eyes, this place is almost full of all kinds of weird magic, more importantly, Merlin can faintly see a layer of green fluorescent halo that binds the dark magic and prevents them from escaping. .
"Different gathering place?"
Merlin closed the door, and his eyes narrowed:
"And the aura... is it some kind of magic?"
Merlin was interested. He looked around, then put on a baseball cap and walked towards the bar in front of him.
But at the entrance to the nightclub, Merlin was stopped. A bald man in a white vest looked at Merlin. He asked in a deep voice:
"Is this the first time?"
"Yes."
Merlin nodded, and the strong man took out a weird card from the box in hand and held it in front of Merlin's eyes. He asked:
"What is on the card?"
Merlin's eyes narrowed, and there was a faint glow on the quirky card. In the state of spiritual vision, the card facing away from him seemed to show some kind of reflection, which could make Merlin see clearly.
On that card is an image of a demon.
"demon."
Merlin answered the question. The strong man smiled a little. He turned his body and said to Merlin:
"Please, sir. There is a great show tonight."
A young man standing behind Merlin saw that Merlin had walked in, and he was eager to take a step forward. The strong man in the vest, holding the same card, asked:
"What is on the card?"
The young man learned from Merlin's tone:
"demon!"
"Uh"
The card was turned over, and it turned out to be a funny frog, which made the young man's eyes widen. He clearly saw that the strong man had not changed his cards at all.
"You cheat!"
He screamed, trying to break into the nightclub, but the next moment, he was dragged by two indifferent strong men and dragged out.
Merlin, who had already entered the nightclub, did not notice this episode.
He followed the blood-red carpet on the ground and walked towards the interior of the nightclub, accompanied by the loud music sounds into his ears. In front of Merlin, under the turbulent and chaotic light, a scene of demons and dances was exposed.
There are people who are looking for fun.
Their appearance is no different from that of ordinary people, but this is just appearance.
In Merlin's eyes, the nightclub was like an exhibition hall for alien creatures. Dancing corpses manipulated by ghosts, devil-changing girls, drunken vampires, back-bearing wings, demon with werewolf wrench wrists, beautiful creatures like legendary goblins, and other weird, Merlin hadn't seen it before, and he couldn't call a weird guy with a name.
Merlin even saw a dwarf who was dragging his beard on the ground and was drinking with the elves.
It was barely knowledgeable Merlin, and he was completely stunned at this moment.
He had never seen so many aliens come together before, and he also told Frey that there are not many aliens in New York City. But now it seems that that is just Merlin's illusion.
He didn't find the gathering place of these aliens before, and now it seems that the number of aliens in this city is considerable, and they do have their own circle, provided that the right place is found.
At this moment, Merlin's head began to hurt.
He realized later that he was too blindly optimistic about his task.
He told Silvert that this task could be completed in at most a year. But now it seems that the heterogeneous monitoring list that Fury needs may well take several years to have a preliminary result.
"Hi, handsome, are you here for a drink?"
Behind Meilin, a coolly dressed beauty reached out and held Meilin's arm, and issued an ambiguous invitation. Merlin glanced back at her, then shook his head and released his hand politely, he said softly:
"Sorry...I'm not interested in ghosts."
After he finished speaking, he got rid of the corpse lady and walked into the chaotic crowd in front of him, as if he had merged into a heterogeneous ocean.
He came here, not for fun, he came to perform the task!
After 20 minutes...
"Furan"
Merlin happily finished a large glass of eccentric cocktail. He felt the taste of this wine was very good. He put the glass on the table and said to the half-angel barman in front of him:
"Another drink! By the way, give my friends a drink too!"
Merlin's words just fell, and several strangers around him suddenly gave cheers.
It's that simple to make friends in the bar. Merlin took out the camera disguised as a cigarette case. He said to the people around him:
"Marty, come to smoke a cigarette."
"No, brother, I don't like the taste."
The handsome guy in disguise dismissed Merlin's good intentions. The latter shrugged and withdrew the cigarette case. The soft click of the "click" would not be noticed by the surrounding loud music.
In this camera, at least 30 different photos have been saved, this is the result of Merlin's 20-minute work.
"Bring me a cigarette."
Just when Merlin was going to put the camera back in his pocket, on the other side of his body, a lazy voice said:
"I hurried out and forgot to bring it."
Merlin turned his head, and beside him, there was a young man in a yellow trench coat with messy hair and pale complexion who was handsome and unruly. To Merlin's surprise, this guy is not a strange person, he is a person!
The real human being is not infested with the breath of the devil or the devil, but he has a breath of magical power on his body.
Merlin narrowed his eyes suddenly.
"Here, brother."
Merlin took out his cigarette case from the other pocket and handed it to the lazy fellow, who took it in his hand, glanced at it, and whistled:
"Silk cigarettes, my favorite!"
After that, he skillfully took out one and dangled it on his mouth. Merlin handed over the lighter in time, and when the guy lit the cigarette, Merlin asked softly:
"What's your name, brother? Are you a wizard?"
"Furan"
The guy spit out a beautiful smoke ring, he gestured to the bartender in front of him, then propped his arms on his body, turned his head to look at Merlin, and in the shadow of the smoke, the eccentric young man replied:
"Call me Constantine, the wizard's words...barely."
"Also, brother, your sneak shot is too obvious. Many people have noticed you. Are you looking for something here?"
Merlin's face changed slightly, he looked around, spreading the dark perception that had been suppressed. Sure enough, in the corners around the bar, there were indeed a few bad eyes staring at him.
But Merlin was not too nervous. He reached for the bartender's cocktail and said to Constantine around him:
"I am indeed looking for something, and I have found it."
He raised the wine glass to the young man in front of him. He said:
"The first Mr. Wizard I met, are you interested in chatting alone?"
