Ten minutes later, Merlin walked out of the town in the south of Wales.

At midnight, Merlin's expression seemed a little complicated, and his mood at this time was also very complicated.

He was self-doubting.

This is normal, and anyone who realizes that their life may have been arranged in advance will subconsciously doubt it.

In those memories that seem real, those laughter, sadness, happiness, and sorrow that are within reach may just be the scenes that other people want you to see, want you to think.

In such a life, how many realizations are true?

The answer to this question may not be so easy to accept.

It's like who would have thought that Peggy, who was regarded as the "king of agents" of the previous era. Ms. Carter, after retiring, would actually plan to destroy the organization she had built with her own hands.

Who would know that the treacherous Fury is actually Peggy. A chess piece that Ms. Carter uses to attract the attention of Hydra.

Should this news be told to Fury?

"It's a real headache."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he reached out and took out his wand, and said:

"Let's focus on the present first, and find Daisy first."

Early the next morning, Merlin, who had woken up from a bizarre nightmare, washed up, changed his clothes, and pushed the door open. Head to St. Agnes' Monastery a few blocks away.

Although Eric had graduated from the school attached to the monastery a few years earlier and went to MIT for college, Merlin continued to visit St. Matthew's church once a week after Eric left.

It wasn't for confession, and he didn't convert to the faith, it was just a habit that he developed during that time when he was recuperating, and he would sit alone at the back of the church, pondering questions that he could hardly answer.

Another reason is that after knowing that the Sisterhood of Divine Grace behind St. Matthew's Church was the property of the Assassin League, Merlin made a pact with Talia, and if Thalia found out any news about Hydra, he would contact Merlin through some members of the Assassin League in St. Matthew's Church.

The church and the attached monastery did contain hidden members of the League of Assassins, but Merlin did not bother to look for them.

It's an unnecessary thing.

As long as Thalia is still in her mind, she will not make some trouble on S.H.I.E.L.D. territory, and now the Assassin League is in a posture of survival, and Thalia needs Merlin's help to rearrange the 'eyes and ears' in North America.

In this case, she wouldn't be stupid enough to fool Merlin with fake news.

"Yo, Merlin."

As Merlin entered the church, Father Paul, who was preparing for this week's Mass, waved at him, and the priest seemed to be in good spirits, with the usual gentle expression on his face.

Merlin walked up to him, and without greeting or greeting, he said bluntly:

"Father, I need your help in finding a child who used to live in the orphanage of St. Agnes."

"Oh? Who is it? ”

The priest did not refuse this request, and although he did not know Merlin's profession, he knew that Merlin was a kind man, as can be seen from his adoption of Eric and little Matt. Even after Eric went to college, Merlin would visit the children at the orphanage from time to time, bringing them some fruit and food.

"Ada."

Merlin Says:

"In March 1991, the little girl who was put at the door of the orphanage, I remember a period of time, everyone said that she was in bad luck."

"Oh, that kid, I have an impression."

The priest made a cross on his chest, and he said to Merlin:

"The child was adopted by different families, but every family that adopted her had some unfortunate things, and over time, no one wanted to adopt her, until last year, an old couple adopted little Ida, and if I'm not mistaken, they should be living in New York, on Long Island."

"Oh?"

Merlin's eyes blinked, and he asked:

"Didn't the couple suffer bad luck?"

"I haven't heard of that."

The priest replied in confusion:

"I haven't heard from Ada since she was adopted, but the child has sent back a few photos. You can wait, I'll fetch it for you. ”

"Well, I'll just wait here."

Merlin rubbed his swollen forehead, and he sat down in the chair at the back of the church, quickly lost in thought.

Yesterday he received too much information, and he urgently needed to analyze it carefully.

From '92 to '94, the plan to crack down on the Strategic Science Corps from other organizations such as the Department of Defense, the NSA, and the CIA was initially promoted by Ms. Carter behind the scenes.

But the tenacious Fury led Merlin and his group, gritted his teeth and went through the most difficult times, successfully turning the tide and putting S.H.I.E.L.D.'s career on the right track.

It also allowed the Hydra elements, who should have lost their hiding place, to find a new tree and continue to gather in this increasingly prosperous tree.

Ms. Carter's adventure failed, or rather, the unforeseen course of events, forcing Ms. Carter to revise her plan.

It's ironic to say.

But the information behind this incident makes people laugh at all.

Merlin's eyes narrowed, and the thoughts in his head raced fast.

"I experienced the situation firsthand, at that time, Fury alone could not resist the combined forces of those departments, and there was a lot of luck in our victory, or rather, the Hydra elements who were unwilling to defeat felt threatened, and they secretly helped us."

He rubbed his forehead, and a glint flashed in his eyes:

"So, among the people who helped Fury and us at that time, there must have been a Hydra element... Well, it's a new direction, and it's worth continuing to look into. ”

"Then who will start with that?"

Merlin moved his fingers, figure after figure flashed through his mind, and after a moment, he decided on his target.

"At that time, the members of the World Security Council who absolutely supported the rebuilding of S.H.I.E.L.D. Even including Alexander. Chief Pierce, and the agents who followed Fury at the time, the agents from the European Division... And those 'friends' of Fury in other departments, they are all suspicious. ”

Thinking of this, a helpless smile flashed across Merlin's face, and he raised his head to look at the reliefs of angels and myths on the dome of the church, and he whispered:

"Am I counting this, and En will take revenge?"

"What are you talking about? Merlin. ”

Father Paul's voice rang out behind Merlin, who held a picture frame in his hand, and when Merlin looked up, the priest handed it to Merlin.

Merlin took the frame, and he casually said to the priest:

"Nothing, Father. Also, I want to thank you for your help. ”

"May I ask, did you find this kid for anything?"

The priest asked with some concern:

"I know you're a public official, could it be that little Ida did something wrong?"

"No, don't think about it, Father."

In a gentle voice, Merlin said to the priest:

"I just accidentally met a woman who was probably the mother of little Ada, and she asked me to help her find her daughter..."

"Oh, I see."

The priest breathed a sigh of relief, and he sent Merlin to the entrance of the church, and said to Merlin:

"If you need help, Merlin, I can mobilize the Church members to help you find Little Ada."

"No, Father."

Merlin smiled and said:

"I have my own way, you go and get busy, I'll respect the child's opinion about little Ida and her mother."

"That's good."

The priest waved to Merlin and walked back into the church.

Merlin picked up the picture frame in his hand, and inside was a little black-haired girl in a white dress, standing in front of a fountain, being held by a kind old lady, waving at the camera, looking happy.

At a young age, the child had a beautiful embryo, and her eyes were very similar to Jia Ying.

This should indeed be Jiaying's lost child for 10 years.

Well, she should be 11 years old this year. And it seems that she gets along very well with the old couple who adopted her, and perhaps, her life is quite good now.

A child's smile is always contagious, and Merlin reached out and took the picture out of the frame, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

But ten minutes later, Merlin was standing in front of a slightly older house on Long Island, his expression ugly.

The house in front of him was empty, and from the neighbors on either side of the house, Merlin had heard that the old couple who had adopted Ida had died in the vampire war that had broken out last year.

As for little Ada...

People around here haven't seen her in months.

"Is it such a coincidence?"

Merlin sensed the strangeness behind this.

For an adopted child like Ada, if something goes wrong with her foster family, she is usually sent back to the orphanage, which is St. Agnes'. But the problem is that Father Paul also said that he had not heard of Ida since she was adopted.

This proves that little Ida was not sent back after the old couple suffered bad luck.

Maybe something happened to her, or... Taken captive.

Merlin hadn't forgotten that Jiaying had told him that there was a person with serious violent tendencies who had been looking for little Ada.

After a few minutes, Merlin turned around, and he looked at the happy and sunny smile of the little girl in the photo in his hand, and his expression was not very good. He took out his phone, pressed the number, and prepared to call Ciel, to mobilize some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources to search for Ada's whereabouts.

But the next moment, Merlin dispelled that idea.

At present, the cooperation between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Inhumans is still kept secret in a small area, but if he makes this call, it will be known to everyone.

In the current situation, this is clearly inappropriate.

Merlin thought about it for a while, so he called another person, and there was not only one way to use official power to find someone.

"Tucker? I'd like to ask you a favor to get your 'friends' in New York moving, help me find a girl... Her name is Ada, she is 11 years old, and I will send you her picture shortly. ”

"Don't worry, I know your rules, I won't let you do it for nothing."

——————————

In the afternoon of the next day, on the edge of Hell's Kitchen, Tucker, a black man who already had his own power, hurriedly drove his pickup truck to his own warehouse.

Several of his subordinates were waiting for him there.

"You say you found her? Where is that girl now? ”

Tucker asked, posing bossy.

"She's here, Boss."

A thin, hemp rod-like fellow flattered Tucker said:

"We locked her up in the warehouse, this little girl is very bold, she has been stealing from the Russian gangsters for some time, but she misses her hand and is chased by several people to our territory. As soon as we got our hands on her, we hid her here, and the Slavs didn't dare to come here. ”

"Well done!"

Satisfied, Tucker pulled a wad of money out of his pocket and threw it to his subordinates.

"Go play, I'll take care of that."

The pile of money was more than 5,000 yuan, which made a few horses very happy, and they made a small windfall.

However, they didn't know that in order to find Ida in the fastest time, Merlin asked Tucker to issue a bounty of $30,000.

In other words, Tucker, a black-hearted boy, cheated 80% of his subordinates' profits with a shake of his hand.

"It's easy to get this money."

Humming a song, Tucker walked to the side of the warehouse and carefully unlocked it, only to see a dirty-looking little girl in shabby clothes lying on the other side of the warehouse, holding a knife, trying to cut through the shell of the container.

"Hey, you're supposed to be Ada?"

Tucker took out his phone and carefully distinguished the picture of the girl in front of him and Merlin gave him, well, except for some weight loss, almost identical.

While calling Merlin, he pretended to be very kind, and said to Ada:

"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people. We're good people, yes, we're all here to help you. You should go and have a meal, come with me, I'll take you to dinner, and someone will pick you up in a moment. ”

Tucker smiled all over his face, trying to look kind.

But Ida curled up in the corner of the container in horror, and she looked at Tucker, who screamed:

"Get me out!"

"He's coming! He's going to kill you! There's a monster chasing me! ”

"Please, let me go, it's good for both of us."

"Monsters?"

Tucker wasn't an uninformed person, he found the Death Eaters when the dragon was making trouble in New York, and he knew that there were monsters in the world.

But he couldn't afford to provoke Merlin, so he could only reassure:

"I have a very good friend, and he will come to protect you. Now come with me, little girl, you look like you need a break, you look hungry, don't you? ”

"Let's go to dinner with Uncle Tucker first."
