Alien race, this is a very mysterious race.
The stranger Gordon once told Merlin that their system and civilization are completely different from the variants already known to the public.
Regarding the causes of mutants, after decades of research and inference by biologists, there has been a clearer explanation. It is said that there is a peculiar gene fragment called "X gene" in the mutant's genes. It is precisely because of the existence of the X gene that the mutants can evolve their strange abilities.
The first-generation mutants with historical records existed almost before the formation of human history, but they have not developed their own civilization and political system for as long as the main human civilization has developed.
To put it bluntly, mutants are like nomads living in a modern society. They have no culture, no inheritance, no history, and they have nothing but those weird abilities.
But strangers are completely different.
Although the cause of the aliens is also because there are more human parts in their genes, compared with the unstable and uncontrollable mutations of the mutants, the transformation process of the aliens appears much more orderly.
In Merlin’s communication with Gordon two years ago, he knew from Gordon that all aliens, but all transformations require the support of a special medium. If there is no such medium, then even aliens in the body Ordinary people with huge genes can only live in the form of ordinary people throughout their lives.
It is precisely because of the existence of this medium that strangers are hidden deeper and safer in human civilization than mutants.
Foreigners are more fortunate than mutants, they have their own complete heritage and social form.
Just like a closed kingdom, foreigners rarely appear to be as confused as the mutants. As long as they are transformed, they will have their predecessors lead them to adapt to their own abilities and teach them about the tradition of foreigners. And customs and taboos.
In Merlin's view, aliens are closer to human subject civilization, and their existence is like a minority belonging to human civilization.
Compared with mutants whose ideology is extremely chaotic, aliens are obviously more suitable for integration into human civilization.
If you let Merlin choose one of the mutants and aliens to form an alliance, then Merlin will definitely choose aliens...you know, among the mutants, there are many extremists, they are not even willing to consider themselves as normal people, They feel that they are more noble than ordinary people.
This idea alone determines that the mutants as a whole cannot coexist peacefully with humans.
And Merlin, although he is not a normal person in the true sense, but whether it is his duty or his cognition, it is determined that when facing choices, he will stand on the side of ordinary people.
In fact, apart from the Lingdie, Merlin does not have any favors for other mutants.
Not to mention, more than a year ago, there was a mutant who invaded his consciousness while he was in a coma.
Although that was to save him. But as an agent, it was much more uncomfortable to expose all the secrets in his mind to a stranger than to kill him.
Merlin spread the letter and placed it on the table in front of him.
The handwriting on the letter was quite subtle. It wasn't written by a rough guy like Gordon at a glance. What's more, Gordon was born with no eyes, and it was too difficult for him to write a letter.
This should be written by Jiaying, the strange leader who claims to live forever.
To be honest, Merlin is more willing to deal with the straightforward Gordon than Jia Ying, who he can't see through.
If Gordon is the tiger that protects other strangers in the "Afterlife" organization, then Jiaying...should be the fox standing behind the tiger, making suggestions for the tiger, and even directing the tiger to fight.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Merlin always feels that Jiaying... has a gloomy body that can’t tell the truth, like a soul shrouded in darkness.
Despite walking in the dark, Merlin did not like working with such people.
No one will like it.
"Dear Mr. Merlin:"
"Please forgive us for taking so long to share this information with you."
"The delay is so long, first because the information is recorded in ancient literature, we need time to go through, find, and transcribe. Secondly, about whether to share the secret of the Terrigan mist with you, this is in the "afterlife" There has also been intense discussion in China."
"You have to understand that the "afterlife" is not an organization where Gordon and I can speak arbitrarily. In our organization, there are also elders. They...like the elders in other stories, they are more stubborn and persuasive. They shared this secret and it took us a lot of energy and time."
"Fortunately, this event finally got a good result."
"The next thing I want to talk about is the oldest and most important secret about the inheritance of aliens. Mr. Merlin, I hope you can help us keep this secret for aliens, which is a matter of life and death."
"Before sharing the secrets about Terrigan Crystal, it is necessary for me to reorganize the origin of the alien from the stories I know. I know that Gordon once talked to you about this topic, but Gordon knew Not all."
"First of all, the birth time of the aliens was during the Mayan civilization. The process of the awakening of the first alien is still a mystery, but what is certain is that our birth was interfered by external forces, and the first alien, It was the beginning of the alien dynasty, but it is a pity that it is an out-and-out monster and tyrant."
"That's a story from a very ancient time. There are very few words and phrases handed down. I also know some details from my ancestors."
"It is said that the alien dynasty called that period of time "the first era."
"The ultimate of the first era was in ancient Egypt, with the help of some powerful human heroes, the alien nobles overthrew the tyrant's rule and banished it to another world. After that, the aliens got Real freedom."
This is the end of the first page of stationery. Merlin opened the second page of stationery. He continued to browse the brief history of strangers that Jia Ying said.
"After the death of the tyrant, the second era of aliens officially arrived. Our ancestors submitted to the royal family of the alien dynasty. We have our own social system, although I have never lived under the alien dynasty. But my ancestor was one of them, and in the handbook he left behind, I can see the history of the change of the alien dynasty."
"The transformation of the alien requires the participation of the Terrigan crystal, and this crystal appeared together with the origin of the alien. It is a bizarre, naturally born crystal, but only in the special city of Alien. It appeared in the crystal mine at the bottom of the land, and our ancestors, after a long time, summed up the mysterious connection between the stranger and the Terrigan crystal."
"Put the solid crystal into the water at the right temperature, and the crystal will produce the terrigan mist, and humans with foreign genes through contact and infection with the terrigen mist will wake up after a while. Special power. But if there is no alien gene, and you are rashly exposed to the Terrigan mist, you will be absorbed by the horror virus attached to that mist, and the infected human body will be transformed into inorganic matter in a very short time."
"The alien dynasty made a decision thousands of years ago, and the royal family, with their loyal subjects, manipulated the advanced technology city of Attila to live alone. As far as I know, they should not be on Earth now. But In thousands of years, the number of Terrigan crystals remaining on Earth is equally alarming."
"My ancestors did their best to collect some terrigan crystals that were lost, and the rest were collected by other strange families. The obelisk is the container used to store terrigan crystals."
"It is a seal made by the advanced technology of the alien dynasty. It is made of a special alloy and has no cracks on the surface. The obelisk has the power of the Terrigan crystal. Once opened, it will stimulate the Terrigan crystal. The destructive power transforms any living body that comes into contact with it into inorganic matter."
"Therefore, when you find the obelisk, you must remember the correct way of holding it."
"The correct way to hold is as follows:"
"First of all, we must ensure that the first contact point of the finger is the rune circle at the center of the three planes of the obelisk. Second, the remaining fingers must be clasped in the corresponding ones on different planes. In the rune circle, only this way can ensure that the destructive power of the obelisk is not activated."
Jiaying is a very careful person. In order to prevent Merlin from remembering wrongly, she even used stick figures to draw a three-dimensional view of an obelisk and the steps of correct contact.
On the last page of stationery, Jiaying used a few hundred words to illustrate the connection between the obelisk and SHIELD.
"This lost obelisk fell into the hands of the Germans at the end of the Second World War. Before they had time to study the secrets, the obelisk was taken away by the agents of the Allies."
"This is the truth I saw with my own eyes, that is, Ms. Carter took the obelisk. These are all facts I said, because that is what I saw with my own eyes. At that time, I was locked up in a German concentration camp in Austria. Here, if the agents of the allies enter the concentration camp one day later, I am afraid that at that time, I will encounter misfortune."
"But it's a pity that I thought I had escaped the disaster, but the disaster has always followed me. In 1991, I fell into the hands of those again, and this time, I failed to hide If the fate of being dissected is not my special ability, I am afraid that I will really die when the experiment is over."
Jiaying's remarks were understated, but Merlin recalled the scary, sutured wound on Jiaying's face. He could basically think of what terrible treatment Jiaying suffered in 1991.
She was cramped by a scalpel, and she still experienced all this when she was conscious...To be honest, Merlin did not dare to imagine that she would be as open-minded as Jiaying after experiencing that situation...
But what do you say?
After all, Merlin still doesn't believe that there is such a broad-minded person in this world. Perhaps the kind of gloomy temperament in Jiaying's body was derived from this incident.
She said she didn't hate humans, but Merlin learned a thing long ago... It's stupid to blindly believe a stranger, especially for his profession.
People will instinctively disguise themselves... Therefore, Jiaying, this woman needs to continue to observe.
Merlin looked at the last paragraph of the letter again.
In the previous large pages, Jiaying disclosed the secret to Meilin as the leader of the "Afterlife" organization. In the last paragraph, she made a request to Meilin as a mother.
"I am a person who has died once, Mr. Merlin. People who have experienced death are always more open-minded. I don’t care about the pain that humans have imposed on me. I only care about the children in the "afterlife" can have a bright future, no Need to hide and hide again, and, I hope to see my daughter...my Daisy before my mission is completed."
"please help me!"
It can be seen that the last sentence was written very hard, which caused some distortions in the graceful handwriting.
Meilin touched the letter paper, he seemed to feel Jiaying's helplessness and desire when he wrote this sentence.
He felt that he should help her.
If the news Jiaying gave him before is true, it means that Merlin can indeed help.
But the problem is that Merlin still can’t understand why, in 1991, Ms. Peggy Carter, who was in her 60s, why she traveled across the ocean to a remote small mountain village in the ancient eastern country, just to take away one. Baby in the baby.
Is there anything extraordinary about this baby? It is even worth hiding the identity of the old Steve for decades. Or did they appear there for other reasons, and it was just an accident to meet the little baby Daisy?
"boom"
Just as Merlin was thinking, the door of his office was pushed open again. Merlin grabbed the three pieces of stationery subconsciously, and between the mists, the high temperature burned the stationery into a cloud of ashes, which was handed over by Merlin. Sprinkle in the trash.
Entering his office was Fury's assistant, Maria Hill.
"Hill, did you enter the office without knocking on Frey's side?"
Merlin Tucao said:
"If so, why have people like Fury not fired you?"
"Uh, I was negligent."
Hill was a little nervous and said to Merlin:
"Just because there is a good thing, so I hope to tell you the first time."
"Good thing?"
Merlin looked at Hill and he said:
"Fery raised your salary?"
"It has risen a bit, but what I want to say is about you, Chief Merlin."
Hill took a black ID folder from her handbag and handed it to Merlin. She said in a serious way:
"This is what I just got from Hitville, and I am the second to know the news."
"Oh?"
Merlin took the document folder and opened it to see that it was his new document. The other information was the same as before, except that at the agent level, the Roman numeral 7 was replaced by 8.
In other words, from now on, Merlin was promoted to an 8th-level agent of SHIELD.
Well, this is indeed an unexpected joy.
But Merlin did not have a very happy expression. He frowned and looked at the document in his hand. After a while, he said to Hill:
"Who issued this document? Didn't Fury go to Europe this morning?"
"It was given by His Excellency Alexander Pierce."
Hill replied:
"The results of the East Coast vampire incident have made the members of the World Security Council feel satisfied. Therefore, in order to show the reward for the meritorious, Lord Pierce issued an order about your promotion."
"This is not in line with organizational processes, Hill."
Merlin glanced at the document. He shook his head and said to Hill:
"Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is a direct department of the World Security Council, and although Chief Pierce is already the Chairman of the World Security Council, he has no power to directly intervene in the appointment and removal of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"So don't make this public for now, wait until Fury comes back..."
"Also, Hill, I have recently helped you a lot. Let's have a meal together in the evening, I will treat you."
