"Ah, finally back to earth."
In the airport waiting room of Bangkok, Merlin drank the Coke in one hand. He moved his shoulders and groaned comfortably.
He said to Agent Hill around:
"Dorris, help me get another cup."
Agent Hill did not refuse, but obediently took the cup in Merlin's hand. After a while, another drink with ice was delivered to Merlin.
"what happened to you?"
Merlin took the coke. He noticed the expression on Agent Hill's face. He asked:
"Is it uncomfortable? Still unhappy? The task is over, we returned to the prosperous place from that isolated place, shouldn't we be happy?"
"No, no, sir."
Hill was sitting next to Merlin. She flicked her short hair and said in a loss:
"I just think that this time I didn't help at all. Chief Fury sent me to assist you, but all the work is done by you alone. Maybe, I am really not a qualified agent."
"Ok?"
Merlin with a baseball cap sipped coldly. He leaned on the chair and looked out of the window of the waiting room in front of him. The plane that was flying up and down, he said softly:
"I'm not very good at comforting others, Daurice... Hill."
"But I know the truth. In the face of any job, no matter how well prepared you are in advance, when you first actually operate, there will always be such problems, and there will always be mistakes. Some mistakes are not counted. What, but some mistakes are fatal."
"Not to mention that you are now engaged in one of the most difficult jobs in the world."
Merlin says:
"Your performance this time was really unsatisfactory. I had hoped you would get more news from Vivian, but you are obviously not as shrewd as the scheming girl. But this is actually nothing."
"Fery asked me to bring you, probably to give you a personal experience of what an agent's life is like. I have also studied in the Secret Service Academy, and I know what the atmosphere is like on your side... .The restlessness of the young people, for the childish expectations of the future, stupid thinking that they will become heroes, I know very well."
"But actually?"
Merlin looked at the hill next to him and he said:
"Actually, the life of the agent is really wonderful. You have also seen Raton, the weird scenery on Skeleton Island, the creatures, etc. But there are not so many crises in this world that we need to race against to change So many mad, bad guys are thinking about destroying the world all day long."
"Collect information, organize information, fly around the world, deal with all kinds of people, disguise, cheat, and intimidate if necessary. This is our daily work, a little boring, but occasionally some surprises ."
Merlin drank the coke in his hand. He stood up, patted Hill on the shoulder, and said to the girl:
"Change your mood, think about the gains and losses of the past few days, and prepare to start working alone. Fury has high expectations for you. Perhaps in this newcomer, he is most important to you."
"Don't let him down."
After that, Merlin threw it away without looking at it, and the empty cup fell into the trash can next to it.
He picked up his suitcase, pulled down his hat, and said to Hill:
"Go, it's time to board the plane."
"Ferry is still waiting for us."
"By the way, tomorrow afternoon, there will be an assessment report in Washington. Those high-powered old ladies of the World Security Council urgently want to know the insider and security assessment results of the emperor organization... I am not good at this Host these, so you are responsible for this report."
"No problem? Agent Maria Hill."
"No problem! Sir!"
Hill's body was straight, she said in a capable and serious voice:
"I won't let you down again this time!"
—
That night, New York, Hell's Kitchen.
A taxi stopped at the entrance of Merlin's house. Merlin in a gray casual suit walked out of the car with a handbag. He took out his wallet, handed a piece of money to the driver, and said:
"Don't be so noisy next time?"
Along the way, the Indian-American driver kept talking, and there were songs from them, which made Merlin's head hurt. I wish I could give this guy something from behind.
But for the sake of driving this younger brother fairly well, he finally refrained.
"Okay, sir."
The young Indian driver gestured at Merlin. He handed a business card to Merlin. He said in an accented voice:
"If you need taxi service next time, sir, you can make this call and I will pick you up as quickly as possible."
"Oh? Do taxi drivers have this kind of business now?"
Merlin and the driver brother greeted a few words, and then watched him leave the street. Merlin looked down at the business card, and in the dark he saw the name of the brother.
"Du Pound? Weird name."
Merlin shook his head. He wanted to throw the business card into the trash, but after thinking about it, he put it back in his pocket.
Merlin took out the key and looked at the house that had been far away for a long time, and the unorganized garden at the door. He sighed a little.
But at the next moment, Merlin felt it, and there was a figure moving in the dark in the room where the lights were turned off.
This stopped him from opening the door, and suddenly his figure disappeared in the dark.
"Snapped"
In the dark room, a cold thing suddenly reached Nick Fury's neck, causing him to raise his hand subconsciously.
Fury guessed who was behind him, he whispered:
"You came back a little late...I have been waiting for you here for more than 30 minutes."
"I went to my cousin's house. The invasion of the Kerry hybrids some time ago scared her."
Merlin turned on the light and threw the canned beer in his hand to Fury. He also twisted a tin. He leaned on the refrigerator and looked at Fury who was cutting sausage. He said:
"Are you going to get yourself a supper in my house? Why not go home and eat?"
"No one in my family."
As Fury sandwiched the cut sausage into the hot bread, he took a bite and chewed the food while turning around and looking at Merlin, he said:
"My wife has gone on a trip and I have nowhere to go after work."
"Ok."
Merlin glanced at the black blindfold that Fury had on his left eye. He sat back on the chair, took some documents from the suitcase at his feet, and placed it on the table. He said:
"Although I think you must have trouble looking for me, I have no evidence...Look at this first."
Merlin pointed to the documents and said:
"I have collected all the inside information about the emperor organization, and before showing it to the big figures, I think it is necessary to let you see it first."
Fury didn't refuse, he ate the bread quickly, wiped his hands, and then sat on the chair.
He glanced at the shocking photos and documents, and Merlin could feel that Fury's mood and attention were changing. Obviously, these things also brought him a lot of shock.
And while the two men were talking about things at night, there was a snapping sound on the window behind Merlin. When Merlin turned his head, he saw an orange cat with a silver collar lying on the window, staring at him with yellow eyes, its tail still flapping against the closed window.
Merlin waved his hand, and the closed window was pushed open by the invisible magic. The orange cat jumped into the room sensitively, and then ran his tail upright, quickly ran to Merlin’s feet, rubbed his legs with his head, a pair of Obedient and welcoming.
Merlin hugged Cuckoo in his arms, took out a small piece of chic bone he had picked from Skull Island from his pocket, and put it on the mouth of Cuckoo.
The magical creature disguised as an orange cat sniffed the bone, then stretched out its claws and grasped the bone as if it had found a new toy.
Ten minutes later, after reading the first document, Fury looked up and saw the orange cat playing with bones in Merlin's arms. Fury was like seeing a monster.
"Mazefak!"
He took a sharp step back, then subconsciously covered his left eye and screamed at Merlin:
"Hi! Keep that thing away from me!"
"what?"
Merlin raised his head and looked at Fury. He put the coo on the table, and then held the two paws of the coo, shaking it in the air, just like playing a game with a cat. With a weird smile, he said to Fury:
"Why? See how cute it is. Right? Xiao Gu, look at how cute you are and how good you are."
I got a new toy, so the orange cat in a good mood meowed twice, as if to echo Merlin's statement. But Fury is one of the few people who knows his true identity. He is alert and looks at the kitten with a trace of fear. He said:
"Seriously! Don't joke, Merlin! That thing is dangerous... My eyes are proof, let it go away quickly! I want to talk to you about something!"
"Ok."
Merlin put the cooing back to the ground, he patted the cooing head, and said to the kitten:
"A little bit lately, I'll buy cat food for you in a few days, the kind you like best... Now go back to bed and go to bed."
He grunted and bit his own bone toy, as if he could understand Merlin's words, it quickly rushed up the stairs. On the balcony on the second floor, little Eric made a comfortable cat's nest for Gu Gou.
Seeing Gum go away, the frightened Fury sat back on the chair.
He looked at Merlin, he said:
"You guy, can get along with that creature..."
"As long as you ignore those horror features, Coogu actually gets along well."
Merlin lighted a cigarette lazily, he said:
"This guy is staying with me now. My cousin and Eric love it very much. And Carol told me before he left, the bitter beast is a cat-like creature, it will take the initiative Protect your own lair...so I mean, the next time you come, preferably when I am at home."
He glared at the mysterious Fury, who warned:
"The first thing I don't want to come back is to collect your corpse from cat dung."
"Speaking of this..."
Fury looked at Merlin, he lowered his voice and asked:
"You and Carol? Is it between you?"
"When did you become so gossip?"
Merlin did not want to talk about this issue. In the rising smoke, he said softly:
"We just have friends who have had the same situation."
"Okay, stop saying this."
Fury shrugged, pointing at the document in front of him, and said to Merlin in a straightforward manner:
"These files need to be deleted."
"What to delete?"
"All detailed research data and results on ancient Titans, including the locations of Skull Island and Mona Island, are deleted!"
Fury picked up a very vague picture and said to Merlin:
"It's like this kind of blurry, ambiguous photos that can be kept."
"Ok?"
Merlin frowned, and he said to Fury:
"I thought, would you want the World Security Council to know all the truth?"
"No, what they need is not the truth."
Fury said softly:
"What they need is peace of mind, what they need is the feeling of being in control, not something that will make people creepy even if they read it. If you put these things in this way, it will scare the big guys. ."
"More importantly, Merlin."
Fury knocked on the table, he said to Merlin:
"The representative seat of the World Security Council is not a lifelong system, and these things need to be shown to those who will eventually be replaced. Do you think they can protect this secret?"
Fury picked up the second document and he said to Merlin:
"The five life-long directors are the ones who will see the truth. In fact, if we want to keep a secret, then the best way is to know as few people as possible."
In the less bright lights, Fury's voice became lighter, he said:
"Secrets are always leaked because of stupidity. I have seen too many of these things. Idiots have learned a secret, just like a pregnant woman...want to spit out secrets. The secrets are hidden in them In my heart, it will make them sleepless."
"Ok."
Merlin nodded and said to Fury:
"I will notify Hill to change the assessment report."
"Speaking of Hill."
Fury looked up and looked at Merlin with his left eye. He said:
"How is she doing?"
"It's still okay."
Merlin shrugged:
"But she is very motivated and learns quickly. She has a special talent. As long as she cultivates hard, she will quickly become the qualified assistant you need."
"Ah, very good."
Fury nodded. He put away the two documents and put them in the suitcase he brought. He looked at the wrist watch and said to Merlin:
"Then I won't disturb you. Come to the office building tomorrow, your new office has been empty for too long."
"Oh, by the way, I have assigned you two new assistants. At the same time, you will also be responsible for the SO (supervisory staff) of these two new people until they become qualified field agents. In the next period of time, You continue to be responsible for liaising with the emperor organization. If there are new tasks, I will notify you."
Fury stood up, he patted Merlin's shoulder, he said:
"Have a good rest."
"Wait, Fury."
Merlin yelled Fury, who was leaving, and he said to his boss:
"In July this year, I may have to take a long vacation to report to you in advance."
"Long vacation?"
Fury asked doubtfully:
"Where are you going?"
"To deal with some private matters."
Merlin sighed with relief:
"Something borrowed from someone else should be returned."
