"Huh"

Merlin's figure distorted in the light and appeared in the Montana wilderness, a wind-powered power station that was lit up at night like a lighthouse in the wilderness.

In front of Merlin's eyes, McRae, dressed in the uniform of a power station employee, was leaning against the entrance of the power station, smoking a cigar boredly, and when he saw Merlin appear, the cowboy whistled and gestured to Merlin.

"The entrance is inside."

He glanced at the knocked out employees at his feet and whispered:

"They have to make contact with the ground every few hours, so there's not a lot of time left for you. Also, did you come alone? Can I help you? ”

"No, I don't."

Merlin glanced at McRae's dress, and said:

"You've done your job, now get out of here and head straight back to the ghost base. Your onboarding is over, and you're well suited for this kind of stealth reconnaissance mission. ”

"Well, it's not that hard."

McRae spat out a puff of smoke rings, and he said:

"The people here are honest people who don't even know they have a secret research lab underneath their feet. The M guys are very good at hiding, they must have some other entrance and exit around here, I'll go find that place. ”

He reached out and touched the huge revolver at his waist, and he said:

"After you make a fuss underground, maybe I'll be able to catch a few fugitives there."

"Whatever you want."

Merlin dissipated into a black fog and penetrated deep into the power station in front of him, and his voice rang in McCree's ears, saying:

"Because of your excellent work efficiency, Miss Ash's bail application will take effect tomorrow morning, work in peace, rookie."

"Thank you then!"

McCree waved at the black mist drifting behind him, then smoked his cigar and strode away into the night beyond the power station.

He left 2 days ago to find it in Montana. M's base, what Death Knell told Merlin that day, was only an approximate location, and Death Knell himself didn't know where that base was.

On the one hand, he is really busy, and the ghost base is still receiving prisoners of radical mutants every day, and on the other hand, Merlin also wants to see if McCree is as tough as he is rumored.

He was not disappointed.

This cowboy has a strong tracking skill, and it only took 2 days to find this huge wasteland. M's stronghold also successfully infiltrated it, sending the specific coordinates back to Merlin.

He was smart and didn't take this opportunity to run away.

Maybe he felt something.

Of course, theoretically, it is impossible for McCree to spot the Raven Spirit Victor who has been hovering and flying above his head for the past two days, he is just an ordinary person, and he can't see that hidden spirit.

"A good tracker, a really smart guy."

Merlin entered along the downward vertical vent of the power station. M's underground base, while whispering:

"Maybe he really wants to get away from his old life... Be a good person from now on? ”

"Okay, okay, I'll give you this opportunity, but you have to take it."

"Huh"

The next moment, he crossed the vent and landed silently. In the passage of the M underground base, Merlin looked left and right, and was just going to look for some in this place. M's incriminating evidence, by the way, to check what those mad scientists are doing in this place, only to hear a terrible wail coming from the ground, that wail is full of pain and despair, which makes people shudder.

Merlin frowned, the voice was somewhat familiar.

He thought for a moment, entered the vent again, and headed further underground.

————————————————————————

"Ahh

In the underground testing ground of .M Labs, a very inhumane biological experiment is being carried out.

Several instruments that were constantly emitting extremely strong energy were fixed to the front of a test chamber, and the beating dangerous energy was pumping energy forward at a specific frequency, and in the test module, a man in large shorts was wailing bitterly.

The man was Merlin's "acquaintance".

He had a relationship with Merlin at the Snow Mountains base in Canada, where he was sent by the commander to recover the experimental artificial Rubik's Cube. M Institute George. Tarleton.

The guy who is mediocre in every way, but still has good luck.

"Ahh Let me go, and beg you. ”

George's head was fixed to the energy converging point of the biological pod, and he felt as if his head had been stuffed into hot water, and his mind was beating rapidly, as if a hot steel drill had been inserted into his head, still stirring.

It was a painful feeling.

On the stairs around the test site, several senior researchers are quickly recording the data of the experiment with the posture of a researcher.

They ignored George's wailing, or rather, they had become accustomed to this wailing after being in this biological laboratory for so long, that they had become numb.

It was a trial and a severe punishment.

Because of Merlin that day, George who escaped from the Snow Mountain base knew it well. M wouldn't just let him go, so after fleeing Canada, he left North America and took refuge in Europe, but as a researcher, he still underestimated him. M's hidden strength.

Two months after he fled, he was killed in a hotel in France. M's secret agents captured and brought back to North America.

The commander of the Snow Mountain base apparently blamed George, who was scapegoated by the higher-ups and is now being executed.

And as a ruthless scientific research organization,. M's punishment was quite characteristic, they didn't kill George outright, but instead sent the researcher into an experiment.

This experiment is called "Smart Brain Development".

It works by catalyzing the subject's brain at a specific frequency through high-energy rays, which sounds a bit fantastical, but M's strength in this area is definitely excellent.

The technology developed by this brain has a complete theoretical basis, but there are still some flaws in the experimental application, and the results of their experiments with monkeys are not very good, in this case, forcing George into this experiment is actually equivalent to a "scientific" death sentence for him.

"Don't! No! ”

George, who was immobilized in the bio pod, felt like his head was about to melt.

I don't know if it's his delusion, in the constant catalysis of that high-energy ray, he feels his head start to deform... His face also appears to be elongated, and his head is getting bigger, like an inflated balloon.

It's too painful.

It's so painful!

"Help me!"

George's consciousness in despair had become blurred, all sorts of thoughts and ideas were beating in his burning mind, it was as if he had been exposed to something more terrifying and advanced, but it was not what he wanted.

He screamed like a beast, his voice getting hoarse.

"Help me! It doesn't matter who it is! Help me! ”

"Bang"

George's call in despair seemed to be answered by some higher will, and just as he was about to lose consciousness in this cruel laboratory, a billowing black mist suddenly burst out of the ventilation duct at the edge of the experimental field.

The thick black mist filled the entire underground test site at this moment, and before the base guards in charge of security could react, the impact of energy mixed in the darkness hit them fiercely, rolling them in place, and then being strangled by the tentacle-like black mist in the air, and lifted into the air.

"Smack"

With an indifferent face, Merlin swung his vibranium sword and slashed the arm-thick cable with a single sword, forcibly halting the cruel experiment in an arc of lightning.

In the proving ground, George let out a high-pitched wail.

"Bang"

The experimental chamber turned outward, and in the escape of high-temperature gases like water vapor, Merlin fell lightly on George as if he was not bound by gravity. Tarleton ahead.

In the escape of the hot gas, Merlin saw the current George, the honest man he had saved once that day.

And George's current situation made the well-informed Merlin can't help but gasp.

It's terrifying!

George's well-proportioned limbs were completely deformed.

His arms and body remained the same, but his head... It became extremely huge, extremely bloated.

Merlin visually estimated that George's current body size should be 12 feet, that is, about 3.6 meters, and his head alone is 2 meters tall, and a normal body with a huge head makes George look both terrifying and funny.

And with the enormity of his head, his eyes, nose, mouth and ears are elongated, and the whole looks like an enlarged version of a human head, hideous and distorted.

These. M's mad researchers, who have turned their former companion into a monster...

"Mei... Mr. Merlin? ”

After the energy generators in his head stopped working, George felt that his head that was about to melt finally returned to normal, and he opened his eyes in a daze, only to see Merlin floating in front of his eyes.

And those who are choked by the dark tentacles and hung around the proving ground, constantly struggling. M researchers.

On George's distorted head, those eyes suddenly sparkled with hatred.

A force.

He felt the anger that accompanied him, a strange power gathered in his mind, and he wanted to kill the bastards who had ruined him, and that power erupted.

Merlin felt a powerful psychic force coming at him, and he immediately dissipated into a black mist and reunited in another place, and at the same time, he felt that those who had been trapped by him. Researcher M and the security guards were weakened at the same time, and when he looked back, the expressions of the guys became glazed.

Their brain activity was forcibly stopped by the psychic power that burst out of George's body.

Their brains were ruptured by a huge force...

After George woke up, he completed the first step of revenge.

"Stop!"

Merlin shouted loudly:

"George! Stop it! You can't control it yet! You're going to kill everyone in this base! ”

"I... I do not know. ”

Before George was transformed, he was just a very mediocre research institute, and he also had the luxury of expecting himself to have superpowers, but when he really had superpowers, he was a little overwhelmed.

Under Merlin's reprimand, he hurriedly withdrew his strength, he looked at the researchers in front of him who had died because of him, his face was refreshed with revenge, but there was a kind of fear and worry after killing.

Combined with his terrifying and funny head, this expression looks so weird.

"I'll help you, calm down!"

Merlin retracted the black mist and let the brain-dead bodies fall to the ground, and he hovered over the huge head of George. In front of Tarleton, he said to the poor man, who had just conducted a terrible biological experiment:

"I'll take you out of here, there's a professional biologist who will treat you... But you have to control yourself. You now have a lot of psychic power, and if you don't control it, you'll indiscriminately kill any life that comes close to you, that's not what you want, right? George, I know, you are a kind person. ”

Merlin comforted George, who was in a state of mania and dazedness, with words while gently pinching the Seal of Axifa with his fingers, but the biological transformation of the guy in front of him didn't know whether it was successful or failed, but the psychic power he possessed now was huge, so huge that it was difficult for Merlin's spiritual induction to work.

"yes, I'm a good guy."

George took a deep breath as he tried to lift his head, but the heavy, gigantic head prevented him from making the move. He looked at Merlin as if asking for help, and the latter stretched out his hand, and a black mist burst out, like a hand holding a heavy object, and Merlin's control of gravity finally made it difficult for George to get up.

But his head was too big.

It's too heavy.

He staggered in place, like a clown trying to keep his balance, and as soon as Merlin withdrew his gravity, he would immediately fall due to his huge, heavy head.

"What did they do to you?"

Merlin asked:

"Why did they make you the way you are?"

"This is the brain development experiment, a fundamentally complete experimental project, damn it, they're going to kill me."

George tried to touch his forehead with his hand, but he couldn't, his hand was less than 1 meter, but his head was more than 2 meters above and below, and his hand could only touch his ear with difficulty.

He knew that he had turned into a deformed monster, which made George both sad and angry.

"So you look like this, the experiment was successful? Or did it fail? ”

Merlin couldn't help but ask:

"Is there any chance you can recover?"

"It should be... It must have been a success, right? ”

George himself was not sure, saying:

"The previous test samples were all monkeys, and they all died because of brain explosions without exception, if you hadn't intervened in the experiment in time, I'm afraid I would..."

"Well, don't be sad."

Merlin glanced at George as he was now, and said:

"Well, ugly is a little ugly, but you're at least alive. I'll take you away, George, but I'll have to search this base first. ”

"Speaking of which, is there anything you can tell me about the secrets of this base?"

Merlin asked, and George held his head sadly, saying:

"Yes."

"There are a lot of them."

"They're working on biomodification here, they're trying to replicate the abilities of a lot of mutants, including you, they're calling that experiment 'Reaper,' they've created a very intelligent orangutan, oh yes, they've also found Captain America, Steve. Rogers' Fall..."

"Wait, George, you just said they found who?"
