Whew"

Amid the clown's maniacal laughter, the projection on the Aegis command ship went out.

Everyone present was silent.

In this chaotic day, they were silent quite a lot.

"Give me the phone!"

Merlin, clenched his fists, said to Coulson, who was beside him.

The latter immediately handed the phone to Merlin.

Without Icarus, Merlin could only make his calls in this slightly backward way.

With a cold expression, he dialed a series of numbers, and then put the phone to his ear.

A few seconds later, the phone was connected.

There was no sound on the other side of the microphone, as if waiting for Merlin to speak.

"Pierce..."

Merlin said indifferently:

"Is that what you desire to see the new order? unleashing a virus on a city..."

"That's not what I released!"

Pierce's voice seemed a little old and weak at this moment.

He seemed to be trying to prove himself, and he said in an urgent tone:

"Trust me, Merlin, that wasn't my plan, it was beyond that..."

"You're working with a madman like the Joker, Pierce."

Merlin said in a low tone:

"You think you can control him? That's the result..."

"Merlin, I..."

Pierce wanted to say something more, but Merlin wasn't going to listen anymore.

He interrupted Pierce indifferently, saying:

"Let the three Insight Motherships on the West Coast turn their sights to Raccoon City, where thousands of virus carriers are rushing out of the mountains, and once they enter the city, the situation will be completely out of control!"

"I'll let S.. L.D.'s agents travel to Raccoon City to save as many innocents as possible and build defenses to stop the virus from spreading..."

"If you still have a little conscience, Pierce..."

"The order has been given!"

Pierce said:

"They're turning, and they'll be there in about five minutes."

"I still have a conscience, Merlin, believe me, it's not what I want to see, but there is still a chance to redeem everything, you come to Washington, we will meet..."

"I'll tell you everything, after integrating the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, you'll have enough power to..."

"Meet?"

Merlin chuckled, and he said:

"Of course, we need to meet."

"Alexander. Pierce, take everyone you can find, and preferably another bulletproof garment..."

"I'll see you."

"I'll go and say goodbye to you..."

"Get ready!"

"Smack"

Coulson's phone was crushed in Merlin's hand, and he looked back at everyone, and after a moment of silence, he said in a hoarse tone:

"Mission change."

"The Aegis command ship immediately changed course and headed to Raccoon City as fast as it could, taking control of the situation before it deteriorated again..."

"I refuse!"

Hill gritted his teeth and said:

"You need us more."

"No, Ciel, they need it more!"

Merlin's pitch rose a few degrees, as if he were scolding.

He said:

"I have the ability to protect myself, but they don't..."

"The virus has been released, what should they use to protect themselves? Rely on those helicarriers that only create killing? ”

"Ciel!"

Merlin put his hand on Ciel's shoulder, and he looked at the emotional commander in front of him.

He whispered:

"When the weak are most helpless, we have to hold back the disaster with hope, S.H.I.E.L.D. may no longer exist, but that doesn't mean you have to give up your oaths and beliefs."

"They need you more than I do."

"We need you, we need all those who have good intentions."

Merlin took a step back, and he looked at S. L.D. high-level agents.

He said:

"There is no time to waste any more, and now I command, S. L.D. Agents, get ready for the rescue at once, and you're going now! ”

"Hermione, I might need you and your Aurors too..."

"Needless to say, Merlin."

Hermione pursed her lips as she said:

"We'll help."

Coulson and Melinda looked at each other, they had tried to persuade Merlin as Hill did.

But after seeing Merlin's expression, they knew that persuasion was useless.

Merlin had already made up his mind.

The most important thing is that the chief is right.

Compared to a great wizard who can confront several Avengers head-on in the case of serious injuries, the 700,000 people in Raccoon City who are isolated and helpless obviously need them more.

It's brutal...

But to make a choice, it's not that hard.

"You!"

Ciel, whose eyes were red, gritted her teeth, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Merlin, and she said in a strong tone:

"Follow me!"

"Coulson, you're taking command of the mothership for the time being!"

Ciel threw down a sentence and turned and walked out of the cabin.

Behind her, Merlin sighed, nodded slightly to the other agents, and followed with his cane.

In a break room outside the bridge, Merlin pushed the door open, and he looked at Hill, who was facing away from him, with his arms crossed, and said:

"Ciel, I..."

"Bang"

In the next second, Merlin's whole person was pushed to the wall by Ciel.

The Commander of the Mothership stood on tiptoe and kissed Merlin on the lips in a gesture that had never been more proactive.

Merlin was a little resistant at first.

But soon, he grabbed Hill's slender waist, and the two kissed together, and the feelings that had been brewing for many years and had never crossed the thunder pool quietly erupted at this moment.

After 1 minute, their lips parted.

Merlin looked down at Ciel, whose face was already covered with tears.

She looked at Merlin, and she said:

"You're going to die, aren't you? You don't want to live anymore, do you? ”

"I didn't."

Merlin took Hill in his left hand and wiped the tears from her cheek with his right hand, and he said gently:

"I'm still trying to survive, and like you, I'm fighting..."

"Let's stay and help you!"

Hill hugged Merlin tightly, and she said:

"Please, let us stay..."

"You've done enough for this world, you're about to die because of that justice, why can't this world give you more..."

"Be selfish once, I beg you, be selfish once, okay?"

"You're asking me to choose between myself and 700,000 people?"

Merlin stroked Ciel's short hair, and he whispered:

"We've known each other for more than ten years, Ciel, if it weren't for those damn things, if it weren't for that damn fate, maybe, we would have married and had children..."

"If you take those extra factors out of that, you're the best fit for me."

"But alas, it's already this far."

He reached out to stop Hill from undressing, he closed his eyes and kissed Hill on the forehead, and he said:

"Don't let me be burdened with another debt at this last moment."

"Good! I'll go there! But you have to promise me! ”

Hill clenched Merlin's wrist, she stared into Merlin's eyes, and said:

"You have to promise me that you will survive!"

"When I come back from Raccoon City, I'm going to see a Merlin intact, and you'll have to promise me!"

"When I come back, you can't refuse me anymore..."

"Whether you have a wife or a girlfriend, I don't care!"

"Do you hear that? Merlin! ”

"I don't care!"

Hill stood on tiptoe again and bit Merlin the lip, as if to leave a mark of himself.

In the midst of that smell of blood, she said to Merlin:

"We've wasted more than a dozen years..."

"Don't make me wait any longer, don't leave me alone all my life, don't let me not wait for the person I want to see..."

"You're going to survive... This is my only request. ”

Merlin looked at Hill with pleading eyes, he couldn't refuse the request.

After a few seconds, he pursed his lips and smiled.

He helped Hill fix his hair, and he said to the commander in front of him:

"Okay."

"I promise you."

"Now, it's time to go, Ciel, save those people... Protect yourself. ”

A few minutes later, a Kun fighter jet sailed away from the command ship with Merizashi and Dr. Serizawa on board.

Coulson personally piloted the plane, and the moment they flew away from the command ship, the deck was full of people.

S.. L.D.'s agents stood there, they raised their hands, put them on their foreheads, and said goodbye to Merlin.

The witchers also learned everything from Gatler, and they put their fists to their chests to pay their respects to the master of the Wolf School who had made a difficult decision.

The members of the watch team watched the Kun fighter fly away, and the taciturn soldier76 whispered:

"He's a hero, there's no doubt about it."

"Hehe, I used to try to be like him."

Beside him, the Grim Reaper reached out and took off his white mask, he looked at the flying plane, and said:

"Now I know that I can never be like him."

Beside them, Dr. Ziegler tightened his grip on the healing staff in his hand, and the mechanical warrior Yuan Urn, who was protecting her, said angrily:

"Is he your chief... He was a true samurai. ”

"Yes."

Ziegler closed her eyes and let the wind blow her blonde hair, and she whispered:

"That's my chief, Merlin. Riley, I've had the privilege of working with him, and I'm proud of that. ”

On the other side of the watch team, the members of the Thunder Task Force, who were out of place with the group around them, were also quite quiet.

Even the Road Rage Mark, who has never cared much about foreign objects, is quite calm.

"You gave him your winning drink?"

In front of the Thunder Assault Team, the Kree Mineva, who had picked up the sniper rifle again, was on the side of the Warrior. Rogge Says:

"Do you think he'll use that?"

"Maybe."

Brave. Rogge said in a somber tone:

"But I prefer he doesn't need it."

"You know what? Minerva, I've always hated Merlin, after all, he deprived me of my glory and made me unable to go home... But now, I don't hate him anymore. ”

"How can such a person be hated..."

Outside the crowd, at George's hovering chair, Moira folded her hands as she watched Merlin's fighter disappear into the clouds, and she said to George, beside her:

"He's not coming back, is he? We'll never see him again..."

George didn't answer.

His brain domain is 70% developed and he is one of the smartest people in the world.

He had repeatedly calculated all the possibilities of Merlin's death, but no matter how he calculated, no matter how many factors were added, the probability of Merlin's survival...

It's too low, it's too low.

The scariest thing is...

He really, probably didn't want to live himself.

"Have hope."

George reached out and took Moira's fingers, and said:

"Believe in miracles..."

At the moment when the Quint disappeared into the clouds, Merlin looked back at the command ship, and Hill was not on deck, she was preparing to sail.

But Merlin knew that the silly woman must be praying for herself, too.

"Sir, you don't need to send everyone to Raccoon City."

Coulson, who was piloting the plane, whispered:

"With the help of the wizards, we can easily build a magical defense that isolates most of the city, and with the demon hunters guarding there, there will be basically no problems."

"I mean, maybe the Overwatch and Thunder Strike teams can stay and help you. Hill was a little impulsive, but she was right. ”

"The innocents need help, but you... You need it too. We can't leave you alone with that..."

"Let you go, and you will go!"

Merlin sat in his seat, a little distracted, and seemed reluctant to say much on the subject.

He whispered:

"Do your job, Coulson."

"Just as you have tried to find a way to help everyone in all the past events, try to save all those in need as much as possible."

He said to Coulson in an accentuated tone:

"Don't underestimate the virus that can create zombies and tyrants, it may have evolved into multiple variants, even if it is a highly resistant witcher, be vigilant."

"You may need to stay there for a long time until the Raccoon City incident is completely resolved, so..."

Merlin sighed, and he said:

"You are not allowed to come back without my orders!"

"This..."

Coulson looked back at Merlin, and nodded helplessly when he saw the stubborn expression on Merlin's face.

Merlin turned his head to look at Dr. Serizawa, and he said:

"Doctor, tell me more about how this 'ssonic' instrument works."

"Okay."

Dr. Kotozawa, who seemed a little uneasy, tried to calm himself down.

He opened the case and explained to Merlin how to use the instrument.

The Quint fighter plane landed quickly from the sky, and a few minutes later, it was suspended at the edge of New York Harbor.

As the door of the fighter plane opened, Merlin reached for the box that was being held in the hand by the silent Dr. Serizawa, and pushed the doctor back into the cabin.

"I know you're worried about Vivien."

Merlin said to the astonished doctor:

"I'll help you find her, and I promise you, she'll be safe..."

"You're just a normal guy, doctor, and you shouldn't be part of this adventure. Raccoon City will also need the help of a good biologist like you. ”

"Coulson!"

Merlin turned and walked towards the empty dock with the box in his hand, and said:

"Bring Dr. Serizawa back!"

Dr. Serizawa tried to rush off the plane, but Coulson pushed him back into his seat.

Coulson looked at Merlin who was leaving, and he suddenly felt a sense of urgency, and there was some inexplicable sadness and worry in his heart.

The next moment, he opened the hatch, jumped out of the plane, and he rushed towards Merlin.

Dr. Serizawa was stunned for a moment, and then jumped down.

"I've always had a problem!"

Coulson stood behind Merlin, he clenched his fists, and he said to Merlin:

"You... Who are you? ”

"I..."

Merlin carried the box, and he stopped where he was, but didn't look back.

Faced with Coulson's question, he closed his eyes, felt the slightly fishy sea breeze, and he whispered:

"Just a guy from Wisconsin who wants to do something good..."

"Coulson Farm, Lola... Father, mother... And you, Phil... Alas, I'd love to go back and see it again..."

"But alas, it's time to say goodbye."

"Dobby! Send them back! ”

"You... You are... Merlin! You are..."

Coulson's eyes widened, and the answer in his heart was about to come out.

Those vague pictures, the vague figures in the picture, and Merlin's back perfectly coincided at this moment.

He's just...

He's the one forgotten by everyone...

Brother...

"Nope! No! ”

"Dobby! I command you, stop! ”

Coulson screamed and reached out, trying to grab Merlin's shoulder.

But Dobby, the leprechaun, had already touched his body.

In the light of the Transfiguration Charm, Coulson and Dr. Konza were sent back to the mothership high in the sky.

The next moment, the command ship started at maximum power, and like a shadow, rushed in the direction of Raccoon City.

Merlin looked up at the marks left in the air, and he reached for the collar of his coat.

In the wind, he walked slowly along the pier with a suitcase in one hand and a cane in the other.

On the ground where the roar of KONG can already be heard.

Merlin reached out to open the box, and he looked at the contents of the box.

He whispered:

"Your Majesty, it's time to send you home."
