Merlin has seen mutants, and he has had contact with mutants.
Although he has not been in contact with mercenary Lingdie for several years, when he was weak, the intersection with Lingdie was always vivid.
When the beautiful mercenary of the chicken thief rescued Merlin in 1992, he kept hiding, and he was not very willing to reveal his strength. But at the last minute, in the face of the devastating explosion initiated by Wakanda female warrior Okay, her ease of resisting the flame storm and the traces of crimson energy erupting like butterfly wings remained in Merlin's heart.
Even now, a few years later, Merlin still doesn't think he can beat the Butterfly.
But he also knows that Lingdie is a relatively strong group of all mutants, and she cannot be used as a benchmark to measure the strength of all mutants.
Just like now, in the city of Kandahar, when the night is about to come, Merlin encounters the weird alien Gordon.
"The ability to cross space is certainly not the power of a bad street."
In the dimly lit bistro, Merlin lifted the dark compartment of the bar and held a blue-grey steel cane in his hand. As he sorted out his combat equipment, he said to the young man carrying Lincoln:
"Although this is my first encounter with the strange race of aliens, I can be sure that Gordon, who can'jump around', will not be a third-rate character in the alien population."
He put on two black gloves, he moved his five fingers, and hung a pendant inlaid with sapphire around his neck, and said to Lincoln:
"You have to make a decision as soon as possible. Do you want to go home? Or do you have to face your own destiny bravely. I will help you if you helped me."
"I do not know."
Lincoln was a little tired, but also said blankly:
"This is the first time I have faced these things. It is different from all the things I have encountered before. If Gordon said it is true, I am actually not a pure human being, then after I "awaken", Will I change back to the original gentle me, or will I be swallowed up by the agitated instinct in my heart?"
The young man said to Merlin:
"This is my biggest worry. I don't want to be a monster."
"Then do you have a solution to the problem?"
Merlin walked up to Lincoln with a cane of blue and gray. He said to the young man:
"I've told you that, for your problem, even if I helped you change your memory, it's useless. That just delayed the time when the problem broke out, and you still have to face it a year or even a few months later. this problem."
"I..."
Lincoln seemed hesitant.
This is the right one and the right doubt. Anyone with self-intelligence will not blindly believe a stranger's words about strange power.
An adult with a complete mind should not believe that any extraordinary power will come so easy.
In fact, judging by Merlin's experience, the cost of pursuing any power is not easy. Even those little wizards who used to be masters must master the basic magic through years of careful study.
"If you are faced with a thing and you don't know how to choose it, it means that you know too little about it."
Merlin held out his hand and put it on Lincoln's shoulder. He said:
"Let's'ask'."
"Ok?"
Lincoln looked at Merlin doubtfully, who blinked at him:
"I mean, find him in person and ask clearly. Be prepared, this may be a bit dizzy..."
After that, the shifting spell was launched.
Merlin and Lincoln's figures were twisted at this moment, as if the light was spinning rapidly. In a blink of an eye, the two disappeared in this closed environment.
Lincoln felt that there were countless rays of light beating in front of his eyes, maybe only a second had passed, or maybe a long time had passed. His time concept was a bit misaligned at this moment, like being thrown into a high-speed rotating washing machine. After spinning a thousand times, his feet stood on the solid ground again.
The young man covered his stomach subconsciously. At the end of the shifting spell, he turned his head, rushed to the side, and began to gag painfully.
It's like the person who is seasick just ended a sea voyage.
And Merlin had long been used to the oppression of the mind and body caused by this shifting curse. He stood on the edge of this desolate canyon and looked north.
At night, at the end of his sight, he could vaguely see the dim light of Kandahar City.
This slightly cold canyon cliff under the night was a place that was investigated by Raven Victor earlier today. The straight-line distance from Kandahar is about 15 kilometers later.
It is quiet, remote enough, and a good place to talk to strangers.
Even if the chatting fails and triggers the battle, it won't attract anyone's attention. Merlin looked at the cliff over 30 meters high at his feet, and he nodded.
Well, if the communication process is not so "peaceful", then after the battle, this is also a good place to throw away the corpse.
He looked back. Lincoln, who was pale, was wiping his face. He was trying to stabilize his spirit. Merlin glanced back, and the blue-grey cane in his hand tapped on the cliff under his feet.
In the sound of the collision of metal and stone, Merlin put his wand on his neck and shouted towards the deserted canyon cliff except the two of them:
"Come out, I know you are watching us! Maybe you don't need to use force to solve this matter, we can talk about it."
Under the blessing of magic power, his voice echoed in the night around the canyon like a loudspeaker.
The stranger Gordon brought Lincoln from Afghanistan to Afghanistan, and tried to take this young man in front of him, which shows that he did not give up him so easily.
He hides very well, at least under Merlin's darkness perception and wide-range observation of the sky flying Raven Spirit, Merlin did not find his trail.
But he must be observing this through some method.
Merlin can be sure.
But no one answered Merlin's call, as if the stranger had given up.
He and Lincoln stood on this remote cliff in the cold wind, and in the unsettling night around, time passed by one minute and one second. Lincoln held his backpack nervously, and looked around with a wind-swept gesture. Any wind and grass would attract his attention.
Merlin also kept silent. He closed his eyes and felt the surroundings escaping.
Lincoln did not notice that under the shadow of the night, a faintly invisible black mist filled with magic was affixed to his body.
It's like a little trap.
He was waiting for Gordon to jump into this trap.
"It's really cunning."
Merlin says:
"He is waiting for us to lose vigilance. Seriously, Lincoln, maybe next second, he will..."
Before Merlin's words were finished, a figure appeared behind Lincoln in the faint light. He stretched out his hand and grabbed on Lincoln's shoulder. Between the flashes of the blue arc, he took the unexpected young man "Jump" off the cliff.
From the emergence to the departure, this process does not even take a second.
When Merlin looked back, nothing was left behind him.
But did he fail?
not at all!
Merlin felt that the ray of mist that he had attached to Lincoln's body was taken nearly a thousand kilometers southeastward in an instant. But that mist of mist, like a beacon in space, set Merlin a precise position.
The next second, the shifting spell was launched.
It was like chasing and fleeing, and the next moment Lincoln was taken away, Merlin's figure also disappeared on this cliff.
When he appeared again, he had come to another place far from Afghanistan.
In the distance in front of him, there is a white snow mountain straight into the sky, where the temperature is colder than the night in Afghanistan. But to Merlin's disappointment, after looking around, he found that this was not the strange nest.
Here is just another trap.
A trap against him.
In front of him, the alien Gordon was holding his weapon, and Lincoln was restrained further by another guy. Behind Merlin, there are also three menacing men. Together with Gordon, they surrounded Merlin in the center.
Several other people are no different from ordinary people in appearance.
But in front of Merlin, the appearance of the stranger Gordon seemed strange to ordinary people.
As Lincoln said, he has no eyes, not for any vicious injury. His face between the forehead and nose is flat, just like a natural eyeless person.
He must have sensed the world in other ways.
"This is a stranger's internal affair."
Gordon, holding an arc-shaped short sword, said to Merlin in a cold and plain tone:
"We also have no intention of meeting with the outside world, you can still leave safely now."
On Gordon's arm, the wound cut by Merlin had stopped bleeding, but Merlin could still smell a bit of blood.
Merlin looked around. Behind him, a muscular guy was naked with his upper body clenched with a pair of fists larger than ordinary people, representing that he was a powerful alien.
On the left and right sides, there is a pair of masked ladies, they are very similar in shape, even wearing the same clothes, they look like twins, and in the hands of both of them, there is a flame-like energy shining.
Coupled with the stranger Gordon who can travel through space at will, the trap of these four people looks very deterrent.
"You should find more people."
Merlin reached out and tapped on his sapphire pendant, and Kerry Tech's half-covered mask quickly put on his lower half of the face, making his voice sullen.
He said to Gordon:
"This is fair."
The blue-grey cane in Merlin's hands quickly deformed in the dark, just like the process of the transformation of the Cybernite, full of the feeling of future technology in the swift.
In a blink of an eye, the weapon module from the Decepticons warrior turned into a large-caliber, extremely deterrent weapon.
"Uh"
Gordon's reaction was the fastest. At the same time that the cane began to change, he appeared in Merlin's eyes in the flash of the arc, with the dagger in his hand. But Merlin did not shy away, allowing the blade to pierce his chest.
Amidst the translucent mask, he gave Gordon a weird smile.
He lifted both hands, left hand wand, right hand energy gun, and two very different weapons fired at the same time.
"Stupefy (sleeping spell!)"
"boom"
The twins around Merlin also reacted quickly. The flame arrows they threw were fast and fierce, but Merlin was not afraid of the flames. Between the beating fire, the green sleeping spell passed through the flames and hit the the left with precision.
She fell to the ground almost immediately, and in this terrible battlefield, she made a sweet snoring sound.
On the left hand side of Merlin, the red ray excited by the energy cannon is even more powerful. The weapon from mechanical life ignores the beating sparks, just like a fierce fist, blasting on another girl.
The flame of her body was pierced, and then screamed and smashed and flew out.
However, Merlin uses the lowest mode of firepower, barely a "stun" mode.
In Gordon's "gaze", Merlin's body shattered into a smoky mist, and the power behind him just roared and punched his fists, hitting Merlin.
This scene looked like a roaring stranger, smashing Merlin into powder with his fist.
"Back!"
Gordon yelled at the somewhat alien stranger boxer in front of him, but the latter just stood upright, and a precise hand knife hit him on his thick neck.
Merlin, who appeared behind the boxer, smiled again at Gordon. The fingers of his left hand gently tickled, and the wisp of magical mist wrapped around Lincoln, like a snake, quickly rushed to hold Lincoln's difference. Physically, then...
"boom"
With a dull explosion, the poor child fell to the ground with blood before he could show his ability.
Between the black mist surge, Merlin manifested himself calmly.
The Cybertron gun in his hand changed into a blue-grey cane again, accompanied by the waving of the wand Lola in his left hand, in less than 2 seconds, the young alien who was all overthrown, as if invisible Strangled his neck and was lifted into the air from the ground.
Their expressions were painful. Obviously, the magic hand that strangled their necks was not gentle.
"You have a hostage."
Merlin looked at Gordon who jumped back to Lincoln. He said:
"I have four."
"Of course, before I broke their necks, at your speed, at least 3 can be saved, but the problem is here..."
In the dark, Merlin's voice became a little colder, he said:
"Dear Mr. Gordon, have you decided which one to give up?"
In this strange area, the atmosphere in front of him became frozen. Gordon did not answer. As the commander of this ambush, he obviously made a mistake.
A very common and fatal mistake.
He has seriously underestimated Merlin's strength. Of course, this is not to blame him. It can only be said that Merlin's low-key disguise is too perfect.
It makes people ignore his other equally deadly skills and abilities outside of the mysterious fog.
Gordon had no eyes, and Merlin could not see his inner emotions through the eyes. After a silent confrontation between the two sides for a few seconds, Merlin said again:
"Of course, this is the internal affairs of your strangers."
"I never knew you, and I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I was only interested in two things. Lincoln's safety, and some things about you strangers..."
"Gordon, let go of the weapon. Let's talk calmly."
