When Merlin rushed to Mei's house with exhaustion, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening.
He knocked on the door. A few seconds later, the door was opened, and a worried May appeared in front of him. When the emotional cousin saw Merlin, who was safe, the worries on his face disappeared.
She took Merlin's hand and looked at him while saying:
"Are you all right, younger brother. You just called and said you were in the hospital, which scared us all."
"Nothing."
Merlin shook his head, he said to his cousin:
"I met a child on the road. In order to help an old man, he suffered a car accident."
He said to May:
"The child's eyes were infected by the leaked chemical liquid. This life may have been..."
"Oh, God."
May is a fairly devout pan-believer. She heard this terrible thing and immediately made a cross on her chest to pray for the ignorant child.
"this is too scary."
A few minutes later, on the sofa in the living room, Ben who knew this matter also said with pity:
"The child's life hasn't started yet, so the light has been taken away. That's too bad, his parents...too negligent."
"I heard Jack say in the kitchen."
Eric was sitting next to Charlie, and the fast-growing boy said to others:
"They all said that Jack was not a good person, and he was connected with some gangsters in previous years. But Jack loved his children very much. After his child was born, his wife abandoned Jack and his children, but from Since then, Jack has become a duty. He is in the underground boxing field of Hell's Kitchen every day, relying on punches to support himself and his son."
"Your news is well-informed."
Merlin opened the refrigerator and handed two drinks to Eric and Charlie. He took off his coat and looked at the clean table again. He froze and asked:
"Have you not eaten yet?"
"No."
Although Charlie only stayed at Mei's house for a long time, she was already familiar with the house.
Dissatisfied she said to Merlin:
"Everyone is waiting for you! May is too spoiled for you. She said that if you don't come back, we can't start eating first. I'm very hungry now, Merlin. I ate an unhealthy airplane meal this day!"
"Really?"
Eric, sitting next to Charlie, rolled his eyes. He said to Charlie:
"Then maybe, tonight I can take you to the Mick Hall, where the pizza is delicious, and there is also a very quiet place, just for us to know each other. You see, Merlin is my guardian, he is also Your temporary guardian, in theory, you should still call my brother."
"you?"
The pretty girl Charlie looked up and down at Eric. She deliberately showed a disgusted expression. She said:
"Forget it, you are not my dish."
"Eric!"
Merlin glared at his unreasonable "adult son", who shrugged and was not sad because of Charlie's words.
He is a very smart child with a high EQ. After spending most of his time with Charlie, he knew that Charlie did not hate him.
This means that he still has the opportunity to chase this beautiful and generous girl.
"Are you still chatting?"
May leaned out of the kitchen and shouted to the men in the living room:
"If there is time, which gentleman can come and help me cut vegetables?"
"I'll go."
Merlin stood up and said to Ben:
"Brother-in-law, you have been working for a day, so just take a rest. I have been on vacation for a few days and I am very busy."
He walked into the kitchen, moved his ten fingers, picked up the knife, and with a dazzling and skilled movement, in a very rhythmic dance, quickly cut a large basket of vegetables into strips of almost the same thickness. .
Beside him, Mei wearing an apron curiously looked at her brother's skilled knifeman, she couldn't help but ask:
"You know how to use a knife, Merlin... are you really a bridge tunnel designer?"
"I am."
Merlin replied as usual:
"Would you like to take another look at my engineer's certificate? As for the knife, when I was a kid, I had already started to learn to cook myself... Speaking of it, sister, I have always heard that I have a younger brother ?Why have we known each other for almost 6 years, but I haven’t seen him yet?"
"Oh, you said Richard."
Mei took out the baked pizza from the oven and replied:
"Richard really does not have much contact with Ben. I and Ben have been married for almost 11 years. I have only seen him less than 20 times, and it is basically Christmas every year, but their brothers have a good relationship. ."
May said:
"Oh, by the way, Richard's child was born just 3 months ago, and Ben and I went to the child's baptism."
Hearing Mei's question, Melin finally asked the question deeply buried in his heart. He lowered the knife, looked back at his cousin, and lowered his voice.
"Speaking of all, Mei, you and Ben have been married for so long, you plan to..."
"When are the children?"
May seemed to guess what her brother wanted to ask. The busy movements in her hand stopped, and then she said as usual:
"Actually, I don't plan to have children."
"Ok?"
Merlin frowned, and he said:
"The Riley family is the only two of us..."
"It's your business to pass the blood, Merlin."
May glared at her brother, she said:
"Ben and I were once unmarried, because my mother, your aunt, had a failed relationship, and I haven't come out of the shadows of my childhood. This is a kind person, he is in I was chased by me for four years in college. After graduating, I was obsessed with waiting. I was moved by him, but that does not mean that I must have a child to inherit what I do."
She flicked her hair and said freely:
"I and Ben only need to spend our entire lives, or do you have any opinion on my decision?"
"Uh, okay."
Facing the suddenly strong sister, Merlin shrugged and said:
"Of course I respect your decision, sister, I just have some regrets, you obviously like children so much."
"It's different, Merlin."
May sprinkled yogurt on the vegetable salad, she said to her brother:
"I like children, I like to take care of other people, I like to help others, it does not mean that I need a child myself. You see, you are also 27 years old, not too small, but you have been living alone, I I am actually worried about you. When will you find a good girl to marry and have a few children, I will take care of them for you."
"Damn it."
Merlin patted his face gently:
"I was so crazy, I took the initiative to mention this topic. Forget this topic, May, it's time to eat."
Merlin brought the steaming pizza to the table, and Charlie cheered. She rushed to the table, ready to eat. At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked.
Ben froze for a moment, then ran to open the door. After a while, Merlin heard Ben talking to the others. The approacher, a man carrying a handbag, and a woman holding a baby, followed behind herself. And walked into the living room.
"Richard?"
Mei, who was walking out of the kitchen while carrying the vegetable salad, glanced at the visitor behind her. She said in surprise:
"I told you my brother just now, which is a coincidence. Quickly, go wash your hands with Mary, put Peter in the bedroom, and then come and eat."
Seeing Mei and the comrades greeting, Mei Lin, who was sitting in a chair, looked at the couple who were walking towards the bedroom curiously.
Richard Parker, and Mary Parker.
These are the two guys who only hear their names but don't see them.
Merlin recognized his sister six years ago. During this period, he and his cousin often met each other, basically maintaining the frequency of once a week.
From his cousin May, he knew that Ben had a younger brother, and compared to Ben Parker, who is just an ordinary engineer, his slightly mysterious younger brother Richard was much brighter.
According to Ben, Richard Parker is a biologist, and his wife Mary Parker is his assistant in the laboratory.
The husband and wife work for the government. I heard that they have been hosting a large-scale project since a few years ago, so they rarely go home and rarely contact Ben. At least in these 6 years, Merlin had never seen this family member.
But tonight, they suddenly appeared.
Merlin instinctively felt that there might be some factors that he was not familiar with, but that did exist.
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling, or at the end of the sky.
He was thinking about something.
A few minutes later, the Richards also sat at the dining table. Both of them were wearing glasses. They looked like a researcher-specific book gas and looked a little silent. Merlin was looking at Richard while eating.
This is a man with 6 points similar to Ben. He sat on a chair with a modest smile and spoke with Ben and May. His smile is very shallow, his eyes always bend when he smiles, giving a gentle first impression.
But Merlin noticed that while he was looking at Richard, Richard was also looking at the people around him with a secret look.
Merlin is familiar with that kind of look. Basically, every agent in SHIELD has such a look.
That's the same kind of look.
This... interest Merlin.
"Richard, this is Merlin, May's brother. I told you about him."
Ben picked up a piece of pizza and introduced it to his brother with a smile. With a smile on his face, Richard nodded to Merlin.
"Hello, Merlin, this is Richard, Ben's brother."
Merlin also responded with a false but sufficient smile with a fake and real:
"Hello, Richard."
He responded decently, and then raised a toast to Richard, who also responded with apple juice. The two people who met for the first time seemed to communicate very friendly.
But the two people's eyes shone with a less friendly light.
Merlin pushed his glasses, and he used to diffuse the dark sense outwards, but this time, he discovered something extraordinary.
In the living room behind them, Richard put his handbag on the sofa. It was an ordinary briefcase looking at the mountains, but in that handbag, in addition to some paper documents, Merlin also sensed a cold gadget.
If his perception is correct, it should be...
A gun.
And from the outline, it is still the kind of firearm that Merlin is very familiar with, because he also has an identical one.
That's the agent's gun. The most important thing is that there are a few bullets in the magazine of the gun that emit the cold feeling unique to Holy Silver.
This is interesting.
Merlin raised his eyebrows slightly. As far as he knew, it seemed that there was only one SHIELD in the department currently equipped with holy silver bullets.
He looked at Richard who was chatting with Ben, and a thought came to his mind.
Richard Parker, his counterpart? And still a colleague?
"Richard, I heard Ben said, do you work for the government?"
Merlin picked up the glass and took a sip of wine, seemingly asked casually:
"Coincidentally, I am also a public official."
"Really?"
Richard looked back at Merlin, with a disguised smile on his face, he said:
"Where do you work, Merlin?"
"New York Bridge and Tunnel Authority."
Merlin whispered the name of the disguised institution, and he stared at Richard's eyes. The latter's expression changed slightly.
he knows!
He really knew!
This slight expression change can't be filled with Merlin.
Richard is indeed an agent of SHIELD!
There is no doubt about this. Now I don't know, which department is he from, and how high is the agent level?
A moment later, facing Merlin's gaze, Richard showed a slightly puzzled expression, he said:
"I have never heard of this institution."
"how about you?"
Merlin asked:
"Where do you work?"
"This is a secret. I can't disclose it."
Richard said a little embarrassedly. He looked up at Merlin, then shook his head slightly:
"I can only tell you that the nature of my work is slightly different from yours. I do research work."
"Oh, got it."
Merlin nodded, and he understood what Richard meant.
Obviously, Richard is not willing to let his brother know his identity. He is telling Merlin in this way that he is a research agent, which should be in the logistics department.
No wonder Merlin has never seen him.
"So in a sense, we are also peers. I occasionally study some...slightly weird things."
Merlin smiled, and Richard smiled. He nodded and said:
"It is true."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce."
Richard stretched his hand to hold his wife's shoulder, he said to Merlin:
"This is my wife, Mary."
Richard introduced:
"She and I work in the laboratory together."
Mary Parker's face was a little bad. She seemed sad. She barely smiled at Merlin and nodded at him. Then she lowered her voice and said something to Richard.
Richard's expression also became a little bit sad at this moment.
The words Mary said were so slight that normal people could not hear them, but they could not hide Merlin who spread the perception to the whole room, and he heard them clearly.
Mary said to Richard:
"It's time to go. Tomorrow's plane is very early. I have to pack things when I go back."
This sentence made Merlin's eyes narrow.
What kind of mystery are these two colleagues working on?
