In 18 years of short life, Merlin is not without strange things.

For example, in 1980, when Merlin was 9 years old, he saw a meteor wrapped in a hot flame in the sky of his own farm and fell into the night sky in the southeast. It is said that it was a meteor hitting Kansas, and that was one of the most sensational events of that year.

There is nonsense rumor that the meteor is actually an alien spaceship.

As another example, in 1985, when Merlin was 14 years old, he saw from a television show that the water of Lake Michigan soared that year, which almost flooded Chicago. That was also a sensational event that year.

What’s more, Merlin actually remembers that one month after his birth, his parents died in the ambiguous memory of the night of the fire, the weird mysterious man in the blue cape and black suit, the flames that were separated by the mysterious man, etc. .

Merlin's slightly lonely character was never formed because of his nature, but because this child was more fortunate or more unfortunate than other mortals.

He knew from the beginning that under all normal disguise, the real trajectory of this world is another look.

Those myths are not fiction.

But even so, Merlin has never encountered such an embarrassing situation.

A person who doesn't look very normal, asked Merlin to become his "son"...

"I have two fathers."

Merlin took a step back. He looked at the mysterious person in front of him. He lit up the pipe wrenches behind him one by one. He said:

"I'm not interested in finding the third one, so sorry, I..."

"Before you refuse, mortal, listen to me."

Before Merlin's refusal was spoken, the white-haired man interrupted him.

He looked at Merlin, still expressionless. He let the dark red flames on his fingers jump, as if he was enduring extreme impatience. He said:

"Your unique soul has the smell of death, which is the advantage that those stupid mortals can't reach. Your birth is accompanied by death, and you have passed at least one death, which makes your soul more pure and precious, In my eyes, this purely means potential."

"Now the world is getting more and more filthy, like a smelly pond, and there are fewer and fewer fish like you."

He increased his tone:

"I am kindly giving you strength, mortal, you should not refuse. In addition, I think you should look at this..."

The man's fingers were scratched in the air, a beating halo fluttered in front of Merlin's eyes, and in that fragmented halo he saw his father James Coulson.

He was falling in the pool of blood. In the chaotic picture, there was a panicked crowd, and in front of those crowds was a fragmented black pickup. The twisted license plate number proved that it was opened by James on weekdays. car.

It collided with a bus.

Scattered everywhere, blood-stained glass, wailing wounded everywhere, and a breath of death everywhere.

And flames...beating flames.

The picture was not very clear, but Merlin could see that in that picture, James was crawling on the ground with difficulty, and the blood-stained blood traced a bright red trace on the road below him.

He is trying to escape from that hell.

But just when James stretched out his hand again, the flames, the erupting flames, completely drowned everything.

Such a reality made Merlin even hold his breath. The reflection reflected in his eyes, he could clearly see the despair, pain and unrevealable attachment in James' eyes...

"Om"

The suffocating picture spread out at this moment, and Merlin's breathing became more rapid. Looking at the white-haired man in front of him, he said:

"this is?"

"What will happen tomorrow."

The flame in the man's hand became a little fluffy. He looked at Merlin and said

"Of course, you can think of it as a joke. I promise you will not notice any abnormalities when you wake up. You will sleep happily until tomorrow, and then get the news that your father died, or..."

The light in the man's eyes jumped a bit, he said:

"Can you try to change it?"

"You mean, your contract?"

Merlin's brain turned fast, but he had also heard fairy tales and people who had seen superhero comics. He did not think that what appeared before him was an "opportunity."

So his eyes were full of doubts.

This look seemed to anger the presence in front of him, and under Merlin's gaze, the long hair of the white-haired man shook. It wasn't until this time that Merlin discovered that it wasn't white long hair at all, it was more like white smoke formed after the flame went out.

A faint firelight wrapped around the man's arm. He stared at Merlin, and a fierce breath leaked out, like an invisible and heavy force, pressing on Merlin's shoulder.

At this moment, the young man seemed to be carrying a mountain, he could even hear the moan from his bones.

The white-haired man moved his arms, and the black dress on his upper body shattered, and the burning red flame disappeared in the air, exposing his strong upper body. The body was covered with dark red unknown magic Pattern.

On the man's forehead, a pair of black horns also pierced the skin, and under the ears, there were a pair of thicker, devil horns like horns, as if they were the last embellishment as a demon. .

Even more frightening, a pair of eyes appeared on the demon's cheek, forming a strange square with his original eyes.

He was like releasing his true self. He...No, it moved the body comfortably, and said in a deeper voice:

"Bah, Mephistopheles' method is not easy at all. It's as disgusting as the old devil's cunning..."

"Mortal, I've been fed up with your whispering, maybe, I should just put a fire of **** into your body like any other "son", or endure the burning growth, then be Burned to ashes."

"I prefer this way of'selection', the most important thing is that I don't like...your eyes!"

The white-haired man in front of him no longer concealed his strength. The terrible oppression, just the oppression of breath, caused Merlin's body to fall to the ground like a collapsed stone pillar.

"boom"

Merlin kneeled humiliatingly on the ground, struggling to stand up.

"well!"

No longer covering his demon nodded with satisfaction, he threw a scroll filled with dark red runes in front of Merlin's eyes, and then hooked his fingers. Merlin's fingers were like being scratched by thousands of blades. In the same way, blood was scattered on the scroll.

He was forced to sign a contract, no one respected his choice at all, and no one wanted to hear his choice. All this was drawn into this dream, no, it was already doomed before.

"Very well, ants should look like ants."

The demon completed the contract, he took back the scroll with satisfaction, he looked down at the wailing Merlin, he said:

"The contract is completed, my "son". Your precious and pure soul belongs to me, and your poor father will be able to get "redemption". Bah, I really hate this hypocritical word, just like the angel who invented it. Hypocrisy! But unfortunately, another little guy rejected me, so... only one-half of'redemption', it's fair."

"Midnight the day after tomorrow...The contract was formally established, that is, I will give you..."

The demon stretched out his dagger-like fingers and tapped on Merlin’s forehead whose face was distorted by pain, and his strange dark red eyes shone with a malicious light:

"power!"

"Om"

The world around Merlin collapsed like shattered glass at this moment, and at the moment when the world collapsed, Merlin heard the devil's proud voice.

"Mephistopheles, old guy! Did you see that? I also have... my "knight"!"

Before Merlin fainted, only the last two thoughts echoed in his mind.

"Who is this demon? Mephistopheles, who is it?"

"The most important thing is not to say yes...I want to make my own choice?"

——————————————

"what!"

Merlin screamed, and the whole person sat up from his bed like an extreme shock.

He stretched out his hands breathlessly, moving in front of his eyes. He looked at his hands intact. The skin and flesh of those hands were so complete that there was no symptom of being cut.

He looked out of the window, and a bright moonlight was shining beside Merlin's window. Outside the window, it was another peaceful night on Coulson Farm.

"A...dream?"

Merlin walked over to the window. He opened the window and took a deep breath of the night air. He picked up the glass at hand and poured a sip of water.

That doesn't seem like a dream.

Everything is too real.

But if that’s not a dream, it doesn’t mean that James, tomorrow, may really...

wrong!

Merlin narrowed his eyes. If it was not a dream, it meant that James would not die because the demon had said that James would survive.

"Ah, I might be crazy."

Merlin grabbed his hair and returned to the bed. He stared at the ceiling above his head. He said to himself:

"I actually believed in a demon's promise, I actually believed in that contract."

"Forget it, don't let James go to work tomorrow."

Merlin closed his eyes and tried to make him sleep again. He thought it was difficult, but unexpectedly simple. After a few minutes, a slight snoring sounded in the room.

On the bedside of Merlin, in the dark that was not noticed, the mysterious man in a black suit and blue cloak was sitting there leisurely, as he said, he witnessed as a bystander Everything.

In the dark, he seemed to himself.

"I really didn't expect that the rude and arrogant, the third house like the barbarian, actually had the day of the contract... its politeness made me a little bit not know it."

"So, Dad, did you specifically modify the world line, and also modify the character of Sannomiya? By the way, if you can do this, can you help me change Pandora's character so that she won't bother me again. "

Another voice answered his question in the dark.

It was a deep, husky voice.

It's the voice of the big brother.

"Of course not, Phantom Moker, that's the power of fate. Do you really think that the name of Fate Bone is a joke? There is one last thing, come back when you're done."

"Of course, everything is as you wish, my overlord."

Phantom Moke stood up. He looked back at the sleeping Merlin, then opened the window and jumped into the night. Behind him, a gentle wind blew the window and closed it again.

all...

Be calm again.

—————————————————————

Early the next morning, the sun was shining and a really good weather.

Merlin woke up at 8 am and walked down the room. Anna Coulson, his mother, had already prepared breakfast for him and Phil.

Simple bacon toast is not really delicious.

"Mom, where did Dad go?"

After washing, Merlin sat on the chair, took the toast and took a bite. Well, it was still a familiar taste. He asked casually, and Mrs. Coulson, who was busy in the kitchen, responded:

"James is going to work, which is strange to say. The principal called this morning to let James go to school earlier."

"boom"

The toast in Merlin's hand fell on the plate. Before he stood up, Phil Coulson shouted to Merlin with his eyes rubbing down:

"Brother, you absolutely can't think of what kind of dream I had last night! A weird white-haired man asked me to sign a contract with him, but I refused at once. The coolest thing is that you never think of the man's true identity. . It's a..."

"demon!"

Merlin interrupted Phil's words, he rushed to Phil's side, grabbed his brother's hand, and rushed to the garage.

A moment later, the refueled Lola made a roar, and the red roadster rushed out of Colson Farm like an arrow off the string.

The solemn expression on Merlin's face made Phil, who was sitting next to him, dare not speak at all. This young man had never seen his always wise and calm brother.

There must be something big happening.

Lola galloped on the road from the farm to the school, and after turning a crook, Merlin's eyes widened sharply.

At the end of the street in front of him, the chaotic crowd screamed and tried to escape, while in front of the crowd, black pickups collided with the bus, broken and **** glass everywhere, and injured people everywhere.

In the wreckage, a familiar figure was trying hard to climb out of the hell.

"father!"

Phil screamed and stood up, but was pulled down by Merlin and pressed into the seat. Merlin opened the door himself and ran in the direction of James, and just after he ran out of 100 meters...

"boom"

Red, burning, bomb-like flames...

Completely, engulfed everything.

"Do not!!!"
