When Merlin woke up again, the first thing he saw was a beautiful woman staring at him.

She has a typical oriental face, her skin is very good, and her blows can be broken.

Her eyes are blue, not the sea blue common to Europeans and Americans, but more like the pure blue of the sky. Her hair was drooping, and her black hair was mixed with a different purple, which looked very beautiful and very supple.

She also wore a black leather dress, dressed like a female ninja, with a chic trench coat outside the combat uniform, and the heavy katana was thrown by the bed.

The mercenary who completed the task was sitting by the bed, looking at Merlin with curious eyes.

To be precise, looking at Merlin's eyes, that's different eyes.

"Cough, you, what are you looking at?"

Merlin asked weakly. The beauty shrugged. She stood up, took a few steps back, and sat on the sofa next to it.

she says:

"I am looking at gold!"

"What gold?"

Merlin asked back, unclearly.

The beauty snorted, held out her fingers, and while playing with her nails, said:

"Someone gave 5 million just to save me a life. You know? Now in my eyes, you are as valuable as equal amounts of gold."

"Really?"

Merlin closed his eyes, and he knew that it was Bruce's family who hired this powerful beauty.

He had never planned to use the number Bruce left him, but he used it at the deadly time last night, and it did save his life.

Alas, I don't know how to repay him.

"What is your name?"

Merlin leaned slightly against the bedside, and he looked at the beautiful mercenary in front of him.

The latter picked his black hair with purple hair and said lazily:

"What's the matter with this? Depending on how you look, you can't afford me. You are not a beautiful type, not a type I like, or forget it. After you are safe, we are okay."

"I always need to know the name of the benefactor. After all, you saved my life. Maybe in your opinion it was just a business, but that was my life..."

Merlin said softly but stubbornly:

"Although for you, I may not be able to help, but if you need it, I will certainly try my best to help. I don't like to owe human relations very much."

"..."

Meilin's words made the beauty silent for a moment. She looked at Meilin and she said:

"Well... you are not like an American, but like someone from my hometown.

The beauty turned up and exposed her beautiful figure in front of Merlin without any care. She lay on the sofa, looking around in her small bag, found a crumpled business card, and threw it to Merlin.

She akimbo and said aloud:

"Then remember it, kid."

"Call me Lingdie, the best and most beautiful mercenary in the world. Oh, yes, and another reminder..."

Lingdie held out her finger, and a crimson energy turned into a sharp blade in her hand. She shook the energy knife, she said:

"I'm a mutant. So do you seem to be?"

"Um... right."

Merlin didn't want to explain the problem too much. He took a few minutes of silent rest, then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stood up, picked up the water beside the bed, and sipped it out.

He looked back at the clock behind him. It was 9 o'clock in the morning, five hours and 57 minutes passed since he last drank water...

Really hanging.

Lingdie, who was watching TV boringly in this hotel room, glanced at Merlin with some surprise.

She didn't care about Merlin's actions. She knew that many mutants had quirky quirks, and it was impolite to ask about it rashly.

"Where are you taking me?"

Merlin stood by the window and looked down at the bustling street below. It should still be Auckland, but it should be at the other end of the city, very close to the airport.

"Anywhere you want."

Lingdie ripped a bag of snacks, and while eating, said:

"As long as you are safe from this chase."

"I'm going to take you to Canada. The Mutant Brotherhood has a base there. As long as you are willing to join Magneto's organization, there will not be too many unsightly debris in the world to provoke you."

"Magnetic King?"

Merlin shook his head. He knew that this powerful mutant was said to be one of the two leaders in the mutant society.

However, since Magneto has planned many attacks against humans in the past decade, in the minds of human beings, Magneto is equivalent to a real villain.

What's more, even Magneto's love for mutants is useless, because Merlin is not a mutant at all.

He said to Lingdie:

"I don't want to go there, I want to stay here."

"???

Lingdie looked back at Merlin, she asked in surprise:

"Why do you stay here? Do you die?"

Merlin did not answer, and Lingdie chattered:

"Do you know how famous the Winter Soldier is in the mercenary world?"

"In the past ten years, he served the Soviet government. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he began to serve an organization. The task completion rate he took over was almost 100%, and many of them were extremely dangerous political assassination tasks."

"Being targeted by such a ruthless character, even me, will be a headache. You... Merlin, it’s not that I underestimate you, your ability is very unstable, and obviously there is no systematic development, you are not him at all. Opponent."

"He turned out to be the Winter Soldier, good name."

Merlin nodded, he didn't care what Lingdie said.

In Lingdie's gaze, Merlin turned to look out of the window. He looked at his hand. He said:

"Those people died because of me, Lingdie."

"Before you came, I was hiding in an apartment. In order to kill me, the Winter Soldier fired a rocket at the apartment. His subordinates also threw a lot of explosives in that block."

"They should not suffer such a fate. The reason why they will get this result is only because I was hiding there, and they have not been able to leave in time."

Merlin looked out the window with an unspeakable gaze, he said:

"I'm not a bad guy, I just have bad luck, and my luck has always been bad."

"I implicated them, I implicated a lot of people, I was doomed... I like monsters, I still hope that I can go home one day, I should have known for a long time, I don’t have a home, it’s not that my family does not accept me , But I don’t deserve to hug that home."

"I will only hurt them..."

"So you feel guilty? Do you want to sacrifice yourself to maintain order?"

Lingdie sarcastically said to Merlin:

"I live longer than you think, Merlin, I have seen many people like you. Do you want to know the result? Let me tell you, even if you die, the fight will not stop. People like the Winter Soldier, as long as he is still alive, he will not stop to kill, do you want to end this?"

"Can... kill him and everything will end temporarily."

"But the question is, can you do it? Merlin baby, I ask you, have you killed anyone?"

Lingdie comfortably lay on the sofa and stretched her body like a supermodel, she said:

"Violent violence is certainly low-level, but in the real world, this is always the best way to solve problems. Don’t talk to me about world peace... Even a powerful mutant like Professor Charles can control all the world’s politicians in an instant. No one can truly achieve world peace."

"In my long life, if there is anything that is immutable, it is the hatred between people of the same kind... This is the original sin, do you know? The original sin that cannot be eliminated! So don’t be that kind of naive Thought, it’s really important to live a good life. Don’t forget, you’re worth 5 million! It’s much more expensive than the average person.”

Scolded by Lingdie as an elder, Merlin nodded silently, and he seemed to give up his naive thoughts.

A moment later, in Lingdie's gaze, he turned around and limped into the bathroom.

Lingdie continued to focus on the soap opera in front of her, until nearly 8 minutes later, Merlin had not come out of the bathroom. Lingdie suddenly realized that she didn't hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom a few minutes ago.

"Damn it!"

Lingdie kicked the bathroom door, and there was no one in it.

At the same time, downstairs in the hotel, on the street, Merlin got into a taxi, and he said to the driver:

"Auckland Railway Station, thank you."

After 30 minutes, Merlin with sunglasses and baseball cap walked to the locker in the train station. He took a key from the boot's mezzanine and opened the locker in the corner in front of him. There was a Black mug.

He took out the thermos cup, twisted it open, poured out the melted water, and poured the blue liquid from the sachet into a syringe that had just been bought.

Merlin put the needle tube in front of him, and he looked at the thick blue liquid in the needle tube.

Reflected on the liquid were Merlin's pale paper face and his eyes under sunglasses.

The flame was beating in the shadowy eyes.

"How can you let me watch the innocent die with peace of mind? The burden of the past made me breathless..."

"Just be me... naive."

"puff"

The needle tube accurately penetrated into the blood vessel of the arm, and the blue liquid was injected into Merlin's body little by little.

He didn't know what the consequences would be if the serum was injected into the body like this, but perhaps Lingdie was right. In the real world, which is different from fairy tales, perhaps, violence should be the way of atonement.

But to control violence with violence requires strength!

"boom"

The empty needle fell to the ground and was crushed by Merlin.

His body began to tremble, and the serum worked. I don't know if this kind of trembling body is a normal reaction.

A pain erupted in Merlin's will. It was a sign that the body structure began to tear at the cellular level. The fatal crisis appeared again. The black smoke rolled over his arm, but he failed to complete the black mist. Manifest.

There is a kind of power blooming in the body of Merlin. It is preventing the dark magic from continuing to erode the body of Merlin. It is also preventing the body of Merlin from turning into dark smoke.

Merlin curled up in the corner, and the sharper shadows of his senses covered him like running water, as if pulling him into another dimension.

He hugged the body with both hands, and a violent pain rushed from the depths of the body, and it hurt.

It was like 2 years ago, in the wilderness of Wisconsin, on the night he lost everything, the pain he suffered.

The power of darkness is like a cocoon. In the rise of smoke, Merlin is wrapped little by little.

The absorption of super soldier serum requires huge energy to catalyze, Merlin does not have those sophisticated equipment. Fortunately, he was not injected with a full dose of serum, and if it was just energy, he was not lacking.

"If, this is a game..."

"Then let it...be fair."

—————————

An hour later, he changed into a loosely dressed Butterfly and rushed into the train station.

The light in her blue eyes flickered slightly, like an invisible signpost, guiding Lingdie to the train station all the way, she followed the invisible signpost until she reached the locker. edge.

She could feel that a painful life was hidden here.

Lingdie glanced left and right. She stretched out her hand, covering her fingers with crimson energy, and then scratched hard at the empty corner.

With a slight sound similar to the breaking of glass, Merlin curled up in the shadows and was caught by Lingdie.

"Run! You run again!"

Lingdie scolded and waved with one hand, crimson energy wrapped around Merlin's body, and bound him to death, it seemed that he was going to take the 5 million guys away.

Merlin did not resist, and his situation was not very good.

The sweat from his whole body had completely wet his clothes, and it looked like he was being taken out of the water. He lowered his head and asked in a hoarse voice:

"how did you find me?"

Lingdie glared at him and said impatiently:

"I can sense the hearts of other people. Although I don’t like this ability, it doesn’t mean I won’t use it. I really underestimated you, Merlin, you can actually... wait, your eyes !"

Merlin's eyes changed.

The light in his eyes was like a beating flame. At this moment, it had completely solidified into a dark orange-red light spot, just like the coal embers left behind after the flame was burned.

Lingdie noticed that Merlin's face was no longer as pale as before, but instead became rosy.

His slightly thin body also became strong.

Even his size jumped up 15 cm in just one hour. The original fitted pants and clothes seemed to be smaller than usual.

"What did you do to yourself?"

Lingdie asked in surprise:

"Did you accept any evil transformation? Or did you drink something like a magic potion?"

"It's nothing."

Merlin moved his arms, and as the black smoke rolled slightly on his arms, the spirit butterfly bound his energy ring and was squeezed out little by little.

He put on his sunglasses again and said to Lingdie:

"I just... embraced those things that have been calling me, I found out that the more you want to escape, the more you will meet your destiny."

"So I decided to live myself a little bit more dangerous, just like you."

"A road to darkness is indeed terrible, but for people who have no way to go, it is at least a road."

"Now, I am on the way."

Merlin looked back at the slightly surprised spirit butterfly. He narrowed his eyes and showed a kind smile. He said:

"Speaking of it, you have telepathy, right? Ms. Lingdie..."

"Can you do me a little favor?"

"Help me find the Winter Soldier. All this should be over..."

"Of course, before that, I have to take a shower and eat something... look at the smell, it's really unpleasant."
