"Buzz"

The low, powerful sound of the engine echoed through the streets of New York, and a classic black Dodge Challenger muscle car sped through the streets, moving so fast that it was very, very nimble and not at all like a driver was driving.

It runs down the streets, shuttling back and forth through the slightly crowded streets, as if it had a real soul.

Actually, the car really doesn't have a driver.

Merlin leaned back in the driver's seat, his hands holding a lunch, and the steering wheel in front of him seemed to be held by an invisible hand, spinning on its own, and the scene was eerie.

"There are 17 forks in the road where you're going, and I've figured out the best way to go."

The iconic metallic sound of flying over the mountain sounded in the carriage, and a dark blue stereoscopic projection appeared before Merlin's eyes, and a red line was outlined on the detailed map of New York.

This is the best route that this mechanical life transformed into a muscle car has calculated in its own way.

Merlin glanced at the projection, and he skillfully picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks, and while eating, he said vaguely:

"It's up to you, just get me where I'm going safely."

"Hmm"

Flying over the mountain, this black muscle car with red stripes on the hood started quickly at the moment of the green light, and with a beautiful tail flick that stunned the other drivers on the road, in an almost 90° bend, perfectly turned into another road.

The whole process was extremely smooth, so steady that Merlin didn't feel the bumps at all, and the level of the Coke he had placed on the bridge didn't even change.

Frankly, the comfort of riding in this car is simply perfect.

Merlin is sure that his car is absolutely unique in this world, and the technological content of this mechanical life is at least a few hundred years ahead of this world!

The fly in the ointment of this car is that its chassis is missing a large piece, which greatly affects the external image.

After all, Fei Guoshan lost his right arm in the previous battle, and when he transformed into a car, he naturally had fewer parts.

Merlin finished his lunch as he drove over the mountain, and as he passed a street corner, he threw the lunch box outward, and under the effect of the levitation spell, the lunch box was perfectly thrown into the garbage can on the side of the street.

This scene was watched by the information collector that flew over the mountain and transformed into a bridge, and after a few seconds, the silent, cold mechanical creature asked:

"Merlin, is this what you call magic? Did you use this weird energy to repair my body? ”

"Yes, magic."

Merlin Says:

"It's a force that doesn't make sense at all, but it's a pity that you didn't carry your destroyed right arm, and the repair spell naturally can't repair the missing parts. Speaking of which, you've been fighting among the stars for so long and haven't you seen the magic of other aliens? ”

"We have very little contact with carbon-based life."

Fei Guoshan calmly replied:

"Carbon-based life and silicon-based life like ours are completely different in terms of civilization composition and beliefs. Especially after the destruction of Cybertron, every surviving Cybertron was drawn into a brutal war of exile... We don't have time for diplomacy. ”

"Well, that's a shame."

Merlin shrugged his shoulders, and he said to the flying over the mountain:

"Let's listen to a song."

"Wait a minute, the internet speed in your world is terrible, I need a few seconds to download. Oh, you have a lot of music, what do you like to listen to? ”

"It's soothing."

Merlin closed his eyes and leaned back in the driver's seat, and a moment later, a melodious serenade sounded in the car.

"I'll sleep for a while, and wake me up when I get there."

Merlin said a word to Flying Over the Mountain, and he closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

After learning magic, Merlin rarely really sleeps, and wizards use meditation to sense the magic in their bodies, and this special state can also be a good way to relieve fatigue.

The young wizards of Hogwarts House basically only sleep a few hours a night, while the official wizards do not sleep for a week or even a month.

Magic, it's really a very magical thing.

Flying over the hill didn't disturb Merlin's rest, and it even slowed down slightly, arriving at the S.H.I.E.L.D. office building five minutes later than expected.

"Merlin, wake up."

Flying over the hill with a nice flick of its tail, it parked perfectly in the open-air parking lot, and it woke up Merlin with a deep voice. The latter opened his eyes, looked at the building in front of him, stretched his body, then straightened his clothes, and said to Fei Guoshan:

"Wait for me here... Don't try to link to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal network, it's a specially encrypted network, and you will be caught if you force your way in. ”

"Huh?"

Flying over the mountain let out an emotionless and puzzled sound, and a projection appeared in front of Merlin's eyes, with dozens of secret documents in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database standardized.

The mechanical life said to Merlin:

"The network encryption methods in your world are too low-end, and I only need to divide a thread to easily break through your network defenses. Are you sure your organization is really the most secret-keeping force in the world? ”

Faced with the inquiry that flew over the mountain, Merlin was a little unsure of how to answer.

Cybertrons are mechanical beings, and for earthlings it is only a means of information technology, for them, it is more like an instinct engraved in their bones. A Cybertron baby who has just come out of the assembly shop uses information technology to far surpass the best information technology experts on the planet.

Merlin looked at the projection of data that was constantly shining in front of him, he hesitated for a few seconds, then lowered his voice and said to Feiguo Mountain:

Open database with highest privileges...

"What are you doing? Merlin. ”

Flying over the mountain did not immediately obey the order, on the contrary, it asked:

"Of the messages I've seen, you're Level 5 clearance, and you're not qualified to access the most heavily protected information in your organization... You're breaking the rules, Merlin, it's dangerous to do. ”

"No, fly over the mountain."

Merlin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the projection that shone with the light of data in front of him, and he said:

"It's a... Well, the necessary caution. I've received some news that there's probably some dark secret hiding within my organization, and I'm going to have to find out. ”

"I can't do that."

Flying over the mountain refused:

"This is not in line with the rules of the Cybertron Resistance, and actions that challenge order are condemned."

"You've seen that message, fly over the mountain."

Merlin Says:

"You don't have S.H.I.E.L.D. authority at all, and you're breaking your rules... Open that database, I'll help you find B-127, you're not familiar here, if your friend is as proficient in information technology as you are, if it wants to hide itself, then you don't want to find it even if you mobilize the world's satellites, and I... I can mobilize unique resources to help you. ”

"This is a matter of mutual benefit, Your Excellency Ensign Cybertron. If you're really fighting a battlefield, then achieving victory is your goal! ”

Merlin whispered:

"What I wonder now is, how much can you give to win? Are the rules you adhered to before victory worth it for you and your brother to die for? ”

Flying over the mountain, he hesitated for a moment.

A few seconds later, its emotionless voice rang out in the carriage:

"Database encryption cracking, estimated time, 58 seconds."

Merlin smiled, he waited patiently, and a minute later, on the projection in front of his eyes, an endless stream of secret documents were lined up. Merlin quickly skimmed through the contents of the documents, and after a few minutes, he pointed to a cash flow document and said:

"Tracing where these funds are coming from and where they're going... It has a problem and it shows up dialed to S.. I didn't receive the L.D. grant at all! Hell, there's a problem! ”

Merlin's fingers clenched.

In the beating of the data bytes in front of him, an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.

The reminder that mysterious old Steve gave him was true.

In the organization he was in, there was a shadow that he had been ignoring.

After a few more minutes, with the support of Fei Guoshan's powerful data tracking and arithmetic instincts, the complicated and cumbersome transfer procedures of those few cash transactions could not hide Merlin's eyes.

"Project 'Avengers'?"

Merlin looked at where the cash ended up flowing in, and he rubbed his forehead:

"Fury... Are you using me as cover? Is this your real purpose? ”

"There was an anomaly in the flow of the last cash."

The sound of flying over the mountain sounded again:

"It's gone..."

"Disappear?"

Merlin frowned, looking at the millions of cash that had disappeared strangely, and he whispered:

"Make a list of all the executors related to this cash!"

"Huh"

The data conversion on the projection shows Merlin one name after another, as well as photos that match those names, among which Fury's photo is impressive.

"You're you again?"

Merlin clenched his fists.

"Fury... What the hell are you doing? ”

"There are still some files that can't be unlocked, Merlin."

The search and cracking program flying over the mountain stopped at this moment, and there was a hint of helplessness in the tone of the mechanical life:

"That part of the file uses multiple layers of physical encryption, and I can't do anything about it."

"Then find out the information of these people first."

Merlin opened the car door, and he said to Flying Over the Mountain:

"When I get back, show me the search results."

"Merlin."

At the moment when Merlin left, the sound of flying over the mountain sounded in the carriage:

"Don't forget the B-127!"

"Don't worry."

Merlin reached out to unbutton the first button of his shirt, he looked at the S.H.I.E.L.D. building in front of him with a gloomy face, and said without looking back:

"What I promised you, I will do."

—————————————————

"Smack"

Several papers were tossed on Fury's desk.

Fury, who was working on business on the computer, glanced down at the papers, and then looked up at Merlin, who looked indifferent.

He didn't see any emotion on Merlin's face, he reached out and picked up the papers, and after a few moments, Fury's expression turned serious.

"Where did you hear about this? A swarm of mechanical life is about to invade Earth? Why didn't I get the message? And how did you gather all this information about the Cybertrons? ”

"I have special channels for information."

Merlin looked into Fury's eyes, as if to see through all the secrets hidden in Fury's heart, and said:

"I'm not sure if this news is true either, so I'm bringing it and giving it to you. It's up to you to judge, S.. L.D. shouldn't be involved in this? ”

"Mechanical life..."

Fury doesn't doubt Merlin's claims, as Merlin is a wizard and wizards are known to have many weird ways to gather information. At least Fury knew that some wizards would use prophetic magic to determine the direction of an event.

Maybe Merlin used those magical spells to get the news.

He looked closely at the papers Merlin had brought, and after a moment, he put them down, his hands crossed over his chin. He was thinking, and Merlin was waiting.

"Remember the secrets that Kohler revealed to us?"

A minute later, Fury stood up, took out a dusty document from the filing cabinet behind him, handed it to Merlin, and said:

"Kohler told us that the Department of Defense has always had a special program related to mechanical life."

Fury's finger pointed at the document, and he said:

"The name of that project is 'District 7.'"

"District 7?"

Merlin opened the file bag, and there were only a few pieces of paper inside. Puzzled, he asked:

"Can you confirm the authenticity?"

"Yes."

Fury nodded, and said to Merlin:

"The veteran generals of the Ministry of Defense kept this secret very solidly, and I used a lot of means to find some clues. That plan is real, but we don't know exactly where it is, but from the information gathered so far, the Department of Defense should have had brief contact with some special mechanical life during the Cold War. ”

"One year ago, the contact that had been interrupted was revived again, and we detected special data signals several times. Through the tracking of that signal, we were able to confirm the existence of Sector 7. ”

"You say, we already have the ability to recognize mechanical vital data signals?"

Merlin's expression changed slightly, and he walked to the window with the papers, as if by the light of the light to see the blurry pictures.

Where Fury had no idea, Merlin made a covert "pause" gesture, and the flying mountain in the parking lot below immediately stopped decrypting the S.H.I.E.L.D. database.

At the same moment, the door to Fury's office was pushed open.

An anxious-looking Agent Hill said to Fury:

"Sir, those special data signals have reappeared! They hacked into our database a few minutes ago! But it is blocked by a physical encryption wall. ”

"Smack"

Fury's palm slapped on the table, and he said with some anger:

"Those blue pools!"

"They want to snoop into our secrets!"
