Coulson's execution is superb.

Less than 30 minutes after Merlin and Laura had finished breakfast, the people from Utopia had arrived at the place where S.H.I.E.L.D. was temporarily housed by the children.

At the head are guys that Merlin is very familiar with, the good-natured Coulis Piot, and some senior students of the Mutant Academy, who are all here to help. Because there were too many children, many children could only eat breakfast in the courtyard of the manor, and Colossus also brought a batch of medicines, enough for the injured to be treated.

"The professor will be there, Mr. Merlin."

Piot, dressed in a black leather jacket and a tower-like body, stood in the manor where the children were temporarily housed, directing the students of the Mutant Academy to help the children with fear and curiosity in their eyes, and said to Merlin beside him:

"After receiving the news from S.H.I.E.L.D., the professor took it very seriously, he knew that there were many injured people here, so he also sent a mutant doctor to help."

"Oh, is that guy?"

Merlin pushed his glasses and looked ahead, a weird mutant with blond skin was treating several children who were in terrible condition, who had been injected with X-gene fragments, but who had a terrible rejection response. And the golden-skinned man, stroking the pain on the children's bodies with his fingers, a glimmer of green beating on her fingertips, as if by some kind of magic.

"Yes, his name is Joshua, and we call him 'Elixir.'"

Colossus introduced Merlin:

"He only came to Utopia not long ago, and his abilities have just awakened, but they are very much needed by us, he can heal the pain of any illness, but he is better at treating injuries related to the X gene, and these children will definitely be safe and sound with him."

"Well, I don't doubt your abilities."

Merlin looked at the mutant known as the elixir, who noticed Merlin's gaze, and the golden-skinned young man looked up, gave Merlin a slightly shy smile, and then went about his healing work. Merlin also withdrew his gaze, and said to Colossus:

"I also believe in the Professor's determination to protect any mutants, which is why I entrust these children to you. But Piot, you can't take them right away. ”

He explained to Coloss:

"Most of these children are orphans, but a small number of them have been collected through illegal means. My agents are looking for their families, and where they end up depends on what their guardians think, and while most of the children have the X gene in their bodies, some are just ordinary people. ”

Merlin Says:

"Maybe they would grow up better in human society than utopia."

"Mm-hmm, I understand."

Colossus was quick to respond:

"Before I came, the professor specifically told me that we are here to cooperate with the work of S.H.I.E.L.D., not to try to steal your initiative."

"Hah, I know that the professor is really a benevolent and wise leader."

Merlin smiled, he said a few words to Agent Trip, who was next to him who was in charge of the manor's security, and then patted Coulis on the shoulder, and the two of them talked and walked out of the manor.

Of all the X-Men, with the exception of Butterflies and Storm Girl, Merlin and Cowlix have the best personal relationship.

Outside the manor were parked several cars, filled with water and food, which Coulson had sent to deliver. Colossus walked over to the unloading car, he lifted a box of water like a feather and put it at his feet, a power mutant like him was definitely a good hand at hard work.

"Speaking of which, Liana has met you recently, right?"

Merlin lit a cigarette as if it were a family chat, and he looked at the working Colossus, and he said:

"How's your relationship with your sister? How are you getting along? ”

"Uh, that's good."

Colossus grabbed two boxes of food and smiled innocently while piling them on the cart, saying:

"I know that Liana's situation is not suitable for a long stay in this world, my sister is the queen of another world, she still has a lot to learn, a lot of things to do, and she invited me to come and help her, but I prefer to stay in Utopia and help the professor do what I can than deal with demons."

"Liana's experience is something I can't imagine."

Colux said calmly:

"There may be a little bit of a gap between us, but I'm sure we'll eventually go back to the way we were when we were kids."

"That's right, it's hard to cut off the connection of blood."

Merlin spat out the smoke and said:

"How's Utopia doing? I've heard you're taking in a lot of homeless mutants there? ”

"Well, most of them are Ipsiron-level mutants, that is, what you call low-level mutants, and most of their transformations have problems of one kind or another, and they are different from ordinary people in terms of limbs and appearance, so it is difficult to gain a foothold in human society."

Colossus quickly filled a cart, and immediately a discerning agent stepped forward, took the cart, and brought food and water to the estate. The mutant turned back to help, and he replied to Merlin:

"High-level mutants don't have this problem, what the professor means is that Utopia will take in as many low-level mutants as possible so that they can really have a home, and as for our compatriots who are strong enough to protect themselves, it's up to fate. They are willing to come to us to welcome, they want to live their own peaceful life, and we will not interfere. ”

"That's good."

Merlin snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and the cigarette was quickly burned to ashes as the black mist pulsed.

"Magneto's Brotherhood is a negative textbook, any coercive actions will only make things worse, and now that there are more and more people in human society who are gentle on mutants, maybe in a few years, ten years, those conflicts between us will finally die out."

Director Merlin looked back at the children playing in the yard, and he whispered:

"Anyway, I don't believe in any irreconcilable conflict between mutants and humans, the world is big enough to accommodate many people. Oh yes, speaking of advanced mutants, I just happen to have a friend to introduce to you. He's a true advanced mutant, and it took me a lot of effort to subdue him, but he seems to have something left in his head that might require a professor to help him. ”

"Well, wait a minute, Mr. Merlin."

Colossus interrupted Merlin, and with a wave of his wrist, a watch-like instrument on his wrist was pulsing, and he said to Merlin:

"The professor is at the airport, and he's coming this way."

"What a coincidence."

Merlin pushed his glasses, and a twinkle flashed in his eyes, and he said:

"It's really fast, then you're busy here, I'll go meet the professor."

"Hmm."

Colossus waved to Merlin and went to continue to help carry supplies, while Merlin disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he came to the nearest airport, where he happened to see the X-Men's plane parked on the tarmac, and Professor Charles, who was in a wheelchair, was surrounded by several students into the S.H.I.E.L.D. car.

"I'll drive this car, you can go to the other car."

Merlin walked to the front of the car, gave a word to the two agents who were driving, and sat in the driver's seat, with the professor sitting behind him.

After seeing Merlin sit up, the professor also said to the students around him:

"Barbie, Caitlin, go find Auroro, I'm going to talk to Director Merlin about something."

"Okay, Professor."

Two young men, a man and a woman, looked curiously at Merlin who was sitting in the driver's seat, and they also left quickly.

A moment later, the convoy was launched, and Merlin handed over the task of driving to Icarus, who closed the window, leaned back in the driver's seat, and played with a cigarette, and whispered:

"I'm curious, Antellas, did you know that there was a base in Mexico that was constantly creating new mutants?"

"I don't know."

Professor Charles, who was sitting in the back seat, uh, stormed, and replied in a calm voice:

"If I knew, that base would have been shut down a long time ago... I don't care much about it, but Charles's desire to protect my people is affecting me, and I can't tolerate this kind of hurting mutants, and it's a mutant child. ”

"Do you really not know?"

Merlin asked in surprise:

"With Charles's psychic power, and so many miscellaneous powers, can't you peek through all the secrets of the world?"

"Hehe, I'm not a god, Merlin."

Berserk whispered:

"I'm just a slightly more powerful mutant, and I'm nowhere near omniscient... Well, Charles asked me to thank you for this incident for you, sincerely, without any perfunctory kind. ”

"Thank you you don't have to, that's my job."

Merlin waved his hand, he lit his cigarette, and after a few seconds of silence, he looked at the rearview mirror, looked at the onslaught in the mirror, and said:

"This time it's not over, the base we destroyed is just a branch of the organization, and I found some residual information in that base. Have you ever heard of the name 'Mr. Omen'? ”

In the face of Merlin's inquiry, Furious Attack stretched out his finger and pointed it on his forehead, as if searching for memory, and after a moment, he opened his eyes and said to Merlin:

"No, Charles doesn't have that name in his memory. He... Is that behind all this? ”

"Hmm."

Merlin did not hide the mysterious Mr. Omen, he told Attack everything he had heard from Namor, and restored the original story of the grievances between himself, Butterfly and Namor, and he said to Storm:

"That Namor, it's dangerous, he doesn't want to tell me too much about the mysterious Atlantis, and I think Mr. Omen's consciousness left in Namor's mind shouldn't have been cleared, and this matter needs your help."

Merlin Says:

"Namor is an unstable factor, and I can't keep him in the S.H.I.E.L.D. system."

"So you're going to throw this hot potato to me?"

The furious attack said dissatisfiedly:

"In your eyes, am I a garbage collector? Director Merlin, do you think that as long as they are mutants, Utopia will welcome them with open arms? No, we're not like that, Utopia has a whole screening system, and we don't welcome a restless mutant like Namor with a lot of grievances behind him. ”

"His entry into utopia will cause a lot of trouble, and maybe it will involve the newly stabilized mutant society in an even worse state of affairs."

"Oh?"

Merlin was surprised and said:

"Listen to what you mean, are you really trying to maintain the order of utopia? I thought you wouldn't be interested in this kind of thing. ”

"I told you the last time we met, Merlin."

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Stormy said:

"I was born out of Charles's will, and his obsession is also influencing me, I can not care about the future of utopia, but I have to defend that future with my own hands, can you understand? Even if Charles no longer resists my existence, I'm still far less free than you think..."

"No wonder you're so desperate for a truly independent body."

Merlin rubbed his chin and said:

"You also want to get rid of Charles's influence completely."

"Yes, that's my weakness."

Furious Attack calmly said to Merlin:

"You can use this weakness against me, in any way you can think of, as long as you can, Merlin, and I will accept my defeat with ease."

The atmosphere in the car became a little tense at this moment, but after a few seconds, Merlin suddenly smiled and said:

"We have made a pact, Ansrat, I respect the spirit of the contract, don't worry, I will find you a suitable body before the time comes. However, I'll leave Namor's affairs alone. ”

With a wave of his finger, the Chief said:

"It's a mutant, he's your clansman, and after you clear those remnants of consciousness from his mind, it doesn't matter to me whether you drive him away or take him in, and you don't need to report to me. Just help me out of a problem, okay? Friends should help each other. ”

"Friends?"

Furious Attack looked at Merlin, and he said:

"Do you really think of me as a friend?"

"Of course."

Merlin said softly:

"You helped me defeat Megtron, you're already my friend, everybody needs friends, Antellas, you're no exception, you know, the point of friends is that when certain moments come, they become... Very useful. ”

"Well, that sounds like a lot of sense."

Berserk smiled, and he stopped talking.

Ten minutes later, the manor where the children were housed was already in sight, and the furious attack adjusted his expression, and soon regained the trademark gentle face of Professor Charles.

Merlin stopped the car, he opened the door, took out the professor's wheelchair, and said to the furious attack beside him:

"I've already told you about Mr. Omen, no matter what he wants to do, it's absolutely inseparable from mutants, and since you have to become the guardian of mutants now, then this matter is inseparable from you."

He reached out and helped Attack to sit in his wheelchair, he patted Attack on the shoulder, and whispered:

"From the information gathered so far, that guy doesn't seem to be easy to deal with, so, I think we can cooperate on this matter... I hope that we can also have a good time working together. ”

Sitting in a wheelchair, Stormy waved his hand at Colossus and the mutants, and he whispered:

"Well, I hope we can work together happily."

"Friend..."
