Six hours later, in London, England, which was shrouded in clouds, in the cold and heavy rain, in the traffic on the road, an inconspicuous black TX4 taxi slowly drove into the alley, stopped in front of an old apartment, and a middle-aged man pushed the car door and held up a black umbrella.

The man was very tall, wearing a thin black trench coat from the Spring and Autumn Period, rare hairless, with a shiny bald head, a pair of square glasses without borders on his hooked nose, and his sharp gaze looked around through the lenses.

His name is Merlin, the head of intelligence for the royal agents, and he coordinates almost all the work in the organization, and the reason why he came here, to the old apartment of a deceased agent Galahad, was only because someone sent him a text message.

[Merlin, I'm Eggsie, the cause of Harry's death is something else, I can't trust anyone right now, but Harry believes in you, and I'm willing to believe you, if you receive this text message, go to Harry's apartment immediately, and don't tell anyone about it]

[I'm only waiting for you here for half an hour, if you don't come, I'll take care of it myself]

The text message was scarce, and Merlin tried to call Eggsie, but the phone was turned off and no one answered.

Eggsy had been training for a year at the Royal Agents' headquarters, and during the year-long relationship with Merlin, Merlin knew very well what kind of person Eggsy was, and since Eggsy said that Harry Hart's death had other hidden circumstances, Eggsy must have some information that the Royal Agents did not have.

Merlin didn't doubt it, because he knew very well that the relationship between Eggsy and Harry Hart was beyond the master-apprentice relationship, and after a short thought, Merlin made the decision to go to the meeting alone, and did not tell anyone about it.

Of course, just in case, Merlin brought a full set of gear, including a bulletproof trench coat and his own pistol.

In front of the apartment, Merlin looked up, the old apartment with the black lights looked a little gloomy in the heavy rain, he never thought that he would actually see Valentine kill his friend, and similarly, he couldn't accept the fact that Harry Hart was no longer alive.

Merlin also had a key to the door of the apartment, and he inserted the key into the lock and pushed the door open.

The room was a little dim because of the dark light, but the air in the room was not muddy, not at all like there was no one for two days and two nights, it seemed that someone had opened the window to ventilate, and even the damp and cold air from outside had entered the room.

"No one?"

Looking at the empty room, Merlin frowned.

But suddenly, he felt something hard and cold against his lower back.

"Don't move, I can't guarantee that this broken gun won't go off."

A strange man's voice came from behind, followed by a big hand groping on his body, Merlin's heart tightened, the gun on his waist, the mobile phone in his pocket, the grenade disguised as a lighter, and the electric shock ring on his hand were all taken away.

The man pulled out another miniature metal detector and scanned Merlin to make sure there were no other metal objects before letting go.

"Who are you, what is your purpose, and where is Eggsie?"

Merlin was very calm, although he was in the background for many years, it didn't mean that he was not a qualified royal agent, but the person behind him didn't mean to answer, but directly threw the things that Merlin found along the door of the apartment and threw them in the corner of the alley.

"I beg your pardon, what we're going to talk about next is very important, and I need to make sure you don't have a bug on you."

The door closed, the lights came on, Merlin felt the muzzle of the gun behind his back move away, he turned his head to see a strange, Asian face, footsteps on the stairs, and Eggsy slowly descended from the stairs, finally appearing in front of Merlin.

"Eggsie, what's going on, who is this man?"

Merlin looked at Eggsy in front of him, frowned and asked, his tone very serious.

"Merlin, Harry isn't dead."

Merlin's pupils contracted suddenly.

"How is it possible, what nonsense are you talking about, I saw Valentine shoot Harry with my own eyes!"

Eggsy shook his head.

"Let me explain it here, Eggsie."

"Hello, Mr. Merlin, I come from an independent intelligence agency called the Federal Agent, which is similar to the Royal Agent, codenamed Red Star, and we have been investigating Richmond Valentine for a long time until the incident at Mission Church in the Southwoodlands."

Behind Merlin, Lin Cheng smiled and slowly spoke, handing back Eggsy's pistol.

"As you said, Agent Galahad was indeed hit in the brain by Valentine's bullet, but our technology is more advanced and managed to save his life, and Agent Galahad is now lying in our medical center undergoing brain reconstruction surgery, and I believe he will wake up soon."

As he spoke, Lin Cheng took out the photo that had already been printed and handed it to Merlin.

Merlin picked up the photo and couldn't help but widen his eyes, because there was not only a picture of Arthur and Valentine talking happily, but also Harry Hart lying on the operating table for surgery, which was taken by someone from the medical department entrusted by Lin Cheng during the operation.

"Valentine plans to use emerging technology to create an apocalyptic catastrophe that will affect the whole world, and Arthur, the leader of your royal agents, has joined his crazy plan, and even planted Valentine's black technology chip in his brain."

"At the moment, Agent Galahad's condition is not available for the operation, and after I have consulted with Eggsie, we have decided to use your power to get rid of this betrayer and obtain his chip and cell phone to determine Valentine's hiding place."

Lin Cheng briefly recounted what had happened in the past week, and at the same time observed Merlin's expression.

"How can this be ......"

After listening to Lin Cheng's narration, Merlin's face was gloomy and terrifying.

He never imagined that this would be the case, Valentine's plan to cause humans to kill each other, and Harry Hart was saved by an unknown intelligence agency that suddenly appeared, and the other party tried to unite himself to kill Arthur, and by the way, solve Valentine's apocalyptic crisis.

But in the end, the most difficult thing for him to accept was that Arthur actually abandoned the royal agent and chose to join Valentine's plan.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

After a short silence, Merlin looked at Lin Cheng and said slowly.

Hearing his words, Lin Cheng smiled slightly, because he knew that Merlin had made a decision.
