"That's the case, Fury."

After a snowy slope in a snowy mountain canyon, Merlin used his mobile phone to contact Fury, who was on vacation, and he gave Fury a general account of the current situation, which he concluded:

"Not to mention that the mutant Logan you asked me to find may be in that base, just say that there are hundreds of mutants trapped in the base, I don't think it's the right choice for us to give them to the Brotherhood like this."

"Magneto's power in Canada has swelled so badly that we should find a way to weaken it."

"And what do you need me to do?"

Fury asked on the other end of the phone:

"Do you need me to give you permission to mobilize the Special Response Force?"

"No, you don't."

Merlin Says:

"The agents of my department are enough to solve the situation at hand, after all, with the X-Men operating with us, they will be in charge of the main attack, we just need to do the rescue and put the finishing touches on it."

At this point, Merlin paused, and he said:

"But after all, it's a Canadian operation, a military operation in another sovereign state, and once it's discovered, we have to have a prepared statement..."

"Oh, I see."

Fury's tone became cold:

"You called me to get ready to take the blame, right?"

"Well, so to speak."

Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I'm trying to keep the situation under control and I won't make it difficult for you. But in case of uncontrollable factors, then it is up to you to take the action. It's like we worked together before, I do things, you finish... No problem, Fury? ”

"What could I have been wrong with?"

Fury Says:

"You've already started to mobilize agents from your department, haven't you? Can I stop you from going out and saving the innocent who are trapped? Am I going to stop you from doing your duty? ”

The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. sighed helplessly, and he said:

"Anyway, next time... Report ahead so I can prepare, okay? ”

"Hmm."

Merlin answered, and just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly asked again:

"Fury, about Hydra..."

"I'm looking it up."

Fury's tone became a little more serious, and he said:

"I found something interesting on the line of the Far Star Project that you found, and it should be a clue related to the ancient legend of Hydra. If I'm not mistaken, then the thread of this line should go straight to the 'conservatives' in the Hydra system, that is, the most traditional faction. ”

"Also, Merlin, the comparison results of the spectrogram you sent a few days ago came out, the energy that made the mutants disappear is somewhat similar to the energy emitted by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but not exactly the same, if you can, remember to bring back the radioactive source of those energies, it may be able to bring me new ideas."

"yes, I see."

Merlin answered and hung up.

Beside him, Auroro also ended her contact with the X-Men, she took off the communicator in her ear, and said to Merlin:

"That's it, Hank will be here soon with the rest of the Troops, probably... Well, about 25 minutes. ”

"25 minutes?"

Merlin was slightly surprised, and said:

"From New York here?"

"Yes."

Auroro chuckled, and she said:

"We mutants are not antiquarians, we will also use the power of technology, Hank is our technology officer, he is one of the most intelligent people in the world, as early as a few years ago, he invented a very advanced flying machine... An aircraft that is more than 2 times faster than the military's most advanced fighters. ”

"Well, it looks like I'm underestimating you."

Merlin smiled, he raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and he said to Auroro:

"I'm going to gather my fighters, and in 30 minutes, we'll meet here. The Mutant Brotherhood plans to start attacking in a few hours, and if we're fast enough, we'll be able to wipe out Magneto this time, but of course, to be on the safe side, you'd better have the Professor come over... If he can fight, then we won't be helpless against Magneto. ”

"The professor will come."

The Storm Girl's expression was slightly worried, and she said:

"The professor used some special drugs that gave him some strength for a while, but they damaged his body."

Merlin's expression changed a little, he glanced at the base in the distance, and said:

"Professor Charles, as rumored to be, is a really good guy who can fight for the innocent."

"The professor is a good leader, too!"

Storm Girl Says:

"A lot of people are willing to follow him."

"Is he really?"

Merlin asked rhetorically in an uncertain tone, but he had no intention of arguing with the Storm Girl, so Merlin stood up and left the valley in the light of the Transfiguration Charm before Auroro could contradict him.

In Merlin back to S. When L.D. was at his base camp in New York, the two demon hunting teams that had received the order to assemble in advance were already sorting out their equipment.

In the years since its establishment, the department has moved away from its initial youth and has a complete and mature set of action plans.

Because of the peculiarities of heterogeneous agents, in S. At least one team is on standby at all times in L.D. headquarters to ensure that in the event of a disturbance of the kind, the situation can be intervened in the shortest possible time, and the recent time for new agents to complete special training in the department is absolutely sufficient.

"Sir!"

Seeing Merlin appear, Level 4 Field Agent Commander Jimmy. Wu immediately reported:

"The 2 demon hunting squads with a total of 40 people have been assembled, and the warriors are changing their costumes, and they can set off in 10 minutes."

"We have 30 minutes."

Merlin said to Agent Jimmy:

"Let the newcomers also be ready for battle, and integrate them into the team of two old agents, this time the operation is less dangerous, and can be regarded as an armed training."

"In addition, if we have three medical officers bring enough necessary medicines, we may also have to take on part of the rescue mission."

"Yes, sir."

Jimmy gets the order and immediately turns around and goes to carry it out.

This Chinese agent was one of the first to enter the S.C. An old agent of L.D., who first worked as a field agent in Coulson's and Melinda's group, was sent to Central City to investigate the murder of Lady Nora, and then returned to headquarters during the Vampire Wars, where he was promoted to field agent chief after Coulson, Melinda, and Sharon were sent out.

Jimmy's resume is also very bright, he has fought vampires, beaten werewolves, dealt with ghoul wounding cases, and single-handedly captured fleeing succubi, and he is also very good at learning, and his super execution makes Merlin very satisfied.

But the problem with this guy is that he was originally brought out by Coulson, so his style is very similar to Coulson's, and he is a moderate agent who is unwilling to solve problems with violence.

So, next, Merlin plans to send Jimmy to Philadelphia to continue to partner with Coulson, and the two of them must be a good match.

However, this will have to wait until Barbie, Trip, Lincoln and Mike, who are still a few rookie agent commanders, grow up.

Ten minutes later, in the training ground on the fifth basement floor of the 21st Century Bell Telephone Company, Merlin looked at the more than 60 agents in front of him who were ready to go, he coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Agents. This time we're going to get involved in a dispute between mutants. ”

"I know that some of you are clever and will surely ask, what does it have to do with us that mutants are fighting each other to live and die?"

"The answer is yes, guys, S.. L.D.'s department is responsible for intervening and quelling the paranormal, and the unique social phenomenon of mutants also falls under the category of paranormal events, so we must take care of this matter! ”

"But I'm not going to let you just rush into the mutant battlefield and fight to the death with those who wield dangerous powers... Remember, we are in a support role in this operation, our mutant allies will help us open the battlefield, and all we have to do is follow them and rescue some of the poor people who have been illegally imprisoned. ”

Merlin accentuated his tone, saying:

But that doesn't mean you can rest easy. I need you to keep your eyes open, like you're at war, you know? Shoot at hostile unknown creatures, and call for support when you can't solve a problem! ”

"I'm not going to be with you, Agent Jimmy will be your commander, and Advisor Elsa and Advisor Dobby will be your supporters."

Merlin Says:

"You've done a great job against the anomalous, so I'm looking forward to seeing if you'll be as good as you've been against the most vicious human villains."

After speaking, he looked at Jimmy beside him, as well as Elsa who had just arrived, and Dobby, the little leprechaun standing on the edge and not being seen by ordinary people, he looked at the time, then turned around and walked to a door leading to the utility room next to him, inserted the key to the mystery house into it, and used any door to calibrate the position into the snowy mountain canyon of Canada.

The moment Merlin opened the door, a cold wind rushed into the basement with snowflakes.

Merlin turned to the side and said to the heavily armed agents behind him:

"Now, let's go!"

Led by Jimmy, more than 60 agents rushed through the door, while Merlin and Elsa stood at the end, and Miss Bloodstone complained dissatisfiedly:

"Little girl Raven is still waiting for supper... You'd better hurry! ”

"It's 2 o'clock in the morning, and she hasn't slept yet?"

Merlin frowned and said to Elsa:

"She's still a patient, you should let her rest early!"

"She played her Gwent hand so well."

Elsa said with some confusion:

"She's beaten me several times, so I can't interfere with her routine."

"You witchers are hopeless."

Merlin shook his head, glared at Elsa, and said:

"Then let's go, hurry up and finish this, and go back and make her supper."

"Dobby!"

Merlin said to the leprechaun at his feet:

"You are in charge of rescuing the wounded, and as before, if someone is wounded, take him out of the battlefield."

Dobby, dressed in a small suit and wearing toad glasses, gestured "OK" to Merlin, then fastened an ugly fluffy hat to his head and walked briskly into any of the doors in front of him.

On the other side of the door, the X-Men have assembled.

As soon as Merlin stepped out of any door, he saw a familiar man, sitting boredly on a tree stump, wiping the katana in his hand, and his long purple hair looked very flowing in the night snow.

"Butterflies... You're here too? ”

"Yo, Merlin."

Butterfly heard her name being called, looked up, and saw Merlin.

She stood up, brushed her hair, walked to Merlin's side, and put her hand on Merlin's shoulder with a little ambiguity, she looked at the base in the snow in the distance, and said:

"There's no way, I have to pay it back if I owe a favor, Old Man Charles called in person, I can't help but come."

"And how much did you charge them?"

Merlin chuckled and said:

"I remember you said that this kind of rescue mission is $100,000 at a time, right?"

"Didn't receive a dime."

The spirit butterfly said pitifully:

"This time it's a day job for Old Man Charles."

"Oh. Why are you so generous this time? ”

Merlin Says:

"I thought you'd give a symbolic gratuity."

"Ugh..."

Spiritbutterfly sighed, and she said:

"I originally wanted to give them a discount, after all, I'm not an official X-Men, but after hearing that Wolverine Logan was also trapped in that base, I couldn't ask for any more money."

"How?"

Merlin asked curiously:

"He's an acquaintance of yours? An old friend like me? ”

"No, I owe him a favor."

Spiritbutterfly held her katana in the snow, and she whispered:

"Logan's man with severe amnesia is a very complicated person, Merlin, he has helped a lot of people, me, Pai Huang, the White Queen and many others owe him favors, but unfortunately he can't remember it himself... But he can't remember that it's him, and we can't just pretend it didn't happen, you know what I mean? ”

"Look over there!"

Spirit Butterfly stretched out her hand to the other side, and Merlin turned her head to see that around Storm Lady Auroro and Beast Hank, there were many mutants gathered that he had never seen before.

"Many people who came today are not just here to help Old Man Charles, many people are here to help Wolverine."

"Sounds like that Logan has a complicated past?"

Merlin Says:

"So, he's actually a hero who has helped a lot of people?"

"No, he's not a hero."

Lingdie said firmly:

"He has also done a lot of wrong things and committed a lot of sins, but at least in the circle of mutants, he is a true legend like the kind old man Charles, the domineering Magnit, and the loner Raven."

"Also, for the sake of us being friends, let me remind you."

Spirit Butterfly looked left and right, and she whispered in Merlin's ear:

"See the woman with a scar on her face and a black combat uniform? Her name is Domino, and she is very low-key, she is actually a well-known mutant, and after a while the battle starts, let your ordinary soldiers follow her. ”

"Why?"

Merlin asked:

"Does this Domino have any special abilities?"

"Her abilities... But it has made countless people salivate. ”

Spirit Butterfly snorted, and she said:

"She's known as 'Lady Luck's illegitimate daughter, and she's been through a lot of battles without a single scar on her body."

"Her abilities... It's lucky. ”
