Chapter 264: Lorraine's Choice

A warning from Dr. Pym's contract!

Merlin frowned, a little unclear, for what he remembered, Dr. Pym was an honest man, and had been diligently researching the Pym particles that he had stumbled upon.

Pym particles are tiny atoms that can shrink the body to the size of an ant and then return to the size of a normal person.

In the future, Dr. Pym has been using this item on the Ant-Man suit to carry out his missions.

Later, in Avengers IV, Scott Lang, the user of the Ant-Man suit, discovers that Dr. Pym particles can travel to the quantum realm, thus traveling back in time.

Pym Particle directly assumed the responsibility of saving the world, making Iron Man snap his fingers, defeat Thanos, and successfully exit.

It also allows Captain America Steve Rogers to travel across time and space, go back to green himself, and dance with the past Ms. Carter to enjoy his old age.

But...... That's the future.

At this time in time, Dr. Pym has only discovered the Pym particle for a short time, and he can't shrink himself, let alone enter the quantum realm to travel through time.

Merlin thought about it, but he didn't know what the reason was, so he might as well go directly to Dr. Pym, and immediately turned to Dr. Lawson and said:

"Dr. Lawson, I still have some business, so I won't bother you, I'll send you back to New York first."

"Okay, I'm sorry for Mage Merlin."

Dr. Lawson listened to Merlin's words, and directly closed his eyes, ready to shuttle.

At this moment, the Yuan-devouring beast suddenly jumped on Merlin's shoulder, showing a very humane expression of cuteness, as if it was going to go along.

Merlin had no choice but to take it with him, return to New York to drop off Dr. Lawson, and go straight to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. base.

Merlin walked out with a fried orange cat, and felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Dr. Pym's base is now surrounded by a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who are constantly approaching with some detection equipment.

As the director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau, Lorraine was anxiously discussing something with a special businessman, and frowned from time to time.

Suddenly, Lorraine saw Merlin appear in her spare eye, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and came over and said, "Merlin, something is wrong!" ”

Lorraine, who is in her forties, exudes the temperament of a strong woman, and has been the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than ten years, and she has already become very mature.

Although he reunited with his old friend Merlin, he didn't have too much joy, but asked very businesslikely.

"What's going on, why is there such a big battle?"

Merlin felt it carefully, and found that Dr. Pym's breath was in the laboratory, but he was surrounded by so many people, but there was no reaction.

According to Dr. Pym's character, he would definitely be furious if he was surrounded by so many people, but now it can be seen that Dr. Pym may really have an accident.

"Merlin, Dr. Pym is missing, I need your help!

Dr. Pym was in the lab just half an hour earlier, but then the security agent suddenly heard an explosion and contacted the doctor, but the communicator was slow to respond.

The agent could not reach the doctor, but quickly reacted, suspecting that he had been attacked by the Soviets, and quickly sealed off the entire base.

Soon, however, the agents found out that Dr. Pym had not left the lab, and that no suspicious person had approached the lab.

And the Wakanda vital detection device I brought with me showed that Dr. Pym's vital signs had been in the lab all along.

Merlin, I think it must be a supernatural force, maybe you can handle it. ”

Lorraine already had some wrinkles on her face, frowning slightly, looking not angry and threatening, but also had a flavor unique to a mature woman, which looked regrettable.

"I see, let them step back first, leave it to me here."

After Lorraine's description, Merlin already had a rough idea of what was going on.

Dr. Pym was probably the first to find the use of the Pym particle, and was shrunk and lost in the microscopic world, unable to escape.

It's just that for some reason, this actually touched the contract between them, and the connection between the contracts produced a warning.

"Okay, everyone retreat!" Lorraine didn't say much, frowned, and announced loudly.

"Yes, Director!"

Although the agents did not know who the young man who suddenly appeared was, it was natural for them to follow orders as agents.

After answering, he quickly packed up his equipment and quickly cleared the area.

"I don't know how many Hydra people are among these agents, Director Lorraine, you know what?"

After everyone was gone, Merlin teased Lorraine in front of him with a smile, and then relaxed.

The development of Hydra is in the hands of Horeth and Councillor Pierce in Wakanda, and Merlin doesn't know much about its new recruits.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Lorraine cooperated with the selection of some suitable personnel to join Hydra, and should have an idea of its number.

"You can try shouting long live Hydra, and see how many people you will know, my Hydra leader."

Lorraine hugged Merlin, took a deep breath of the smell of his body, and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Lorraine, you didn't drink the elixir I gave you, tell me why."

As soon as Merlin returned to the base, he found that Lorraine did not have the breath of elixir, and her body functions continued to deteriorate.

If it weren't for the heart-shaped herb that had been ingested and the body's functions had been strengthened, he might have been a half-hundred-year-old man by now, close to retirement.

"I want to grow old and then find a place with a wonderful scenery and die quietly."

Lorraine was silent for a while, but still said truthfully.

Ever since she discovered that Merlin possessed superhuman strength, and it was not an ordinary strength, he was strong enough to make ordinary people despair.

And she can only take Wakanda's heart-shaped herbs to obtain that meager strength, but it is difficult to match.

Therefore, she didn't want to be too entangled with Merlin, and focused on her career, and she didn't plan to use the elixir to slow down her youth.

Because, she didn't want to drag down Merlin's future, he belonged to magic, not to her Lorraine.

"Really?"

Merlin's spirit is stronger than ordinary people, I don't know how many times, and the Celestial Mind has become a passive.

He read Lorraine's thoughts in full, but he didn't know how to answer.

His feelings for Lorraine are really not deep enough, and even in his feelings, this is just a py relationship.

His life's quest was only one, and that was the stars and the sea, the heavens and magic.

"Well, I'm ready to hand over the position of head of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Congressman Pierce, and I'll concentrate on the Soviet side in the future.

When the Red House is settled, I think I'll find a quiet place to retire.

By the way, the Red House is a special institution on the Soviet side that specializes in training super agents, which is the one I've been investigating. ”

Lorraine was very open-minded, but hugged Merlin again, and then naturally talked about the Red House.

"Well, I'll respect your choice, Lorraine."

Merlin naturally knew about the Red House, which was the birthplace of the Black Widow, but he didn't expect that it hadn't been dealt with for so long.

But this was Lorraine's choice, and Merlin had no choice but to remain silent and respect her choice.

"Alright, you should go about Dr. Pym." Lorraine smiled calmly.

Merlin also smiled: "Okay, Lord Director! ”
