Time is a wonderful thing. Those things that were thought to be boneless and will not be forgotten will slowly fade in the passage of time, and eventually become an ordinary experience.

Occasionally it feels that it happened yesterday, but more often, the alienation brought about by that kind of time makes people feel that it is more like a million years ago.

Memory is also a wonderful thing.

In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival in 1994 had arrived. Merlin sat in his office in Paris and wrote a report quietly. He is summarizing and counting the work of the European branch to counter and absorb the intelligence personnel of the former Soviet Union during this year.

After completing the Norwegian expedition, Merlin helped Gartler to complete the task of opposing hostile agents for the next half a year. They went to Eastern Europe, Central Asia and even Moscow several times. Collapsed and nowhere to hide, intelligence workers who had nowhere to go were brought back to their organizations.

Just like in 1992, Merlin and Button and Fry recruited Natasha in Sokovia.

During this year, Merlin also almost witnessed the cruel and cold "transformation" of several large intelligence organizations left over from the former Soviet Union.

According to the information collected by the European branch, the organization "Red House", which has trained top agents such as Natasha, has been attacked and eroded by other intelligence organizations.

In this year's rapid decline, until now there are only two or three kittens left. This strategic science army's one of the biggest opponents during the Cold War has completely disappeared.

Opposite the ocean, the Strategic Science Corps encountered the same situation, but its members are still struggling to support it.

Recently, the situation has changed.

According to the information Merlin had received from Fury, the incompetent Kohler, who is currently in charge of the strategic crisis intervention and espionage logistics department, was currently suppressed very badly. His poor work ability made him not only unsuccessful in this year Suppressing Nick Fury, with Pierce's secret help, Fury became more and more confident, but began to fight back.

At present, there are fewer and fewer agents willing to obey Kohler in the organization. The incompetent's authority to whitewash himself is gradually collapsing, while Nick Fury, who is nominally a level 3 civilian agent, has recovered strength day by day.

The attempts of other institutions hidden in the dark to nibble at the original Strategic Science Corps have basically been dashed. Now it seems that the incompetent Kohler has been treated as an abandoned child, and it is difficult for him to get help and support from the upper ranks. .

Now only one opportunity is needed, and Fury is confident that he can completely rid Kohler from the throne of the director.

The most intuitive expression of Fury's advantage is:

In the last month, Merlin has been deliberately suppressed by the agent level, and finally upgraded from level 1 to level 2. This represents Kohler's control of the strategic risk intervention and the espionage logistics department's personnel system, which has also been completely broken.

In addition, Merlin's own situation has also changed a lot in the past year.

As Merlin's own magic level became higher and higher, the dark magic in his body became more and more gentle and submissive, and it was no longer a terrible problem.

On the other hand, Merlin finally finished the standard magic textbook "Standard Spell. Elementary" two months ago, and began to move towards a more complicated magic stage.

He also began to study potions by himself, which is equivalent to the medicine and treatment of the wizarding world. It was between Merlin who was very interested in medicine and had some basic medical skills, so his progress in this area was ok.

But the potion involved a lot of weird materials, which made Merlin had to travel between Paris and London once a month in the second half of 1993, just like other wizards, he had become a diagonal Frequent visitors in the alley occasionally ask Hermione to find some rare items for him.

All in all, whether it is an agent or a wizard, in these two occupations, Merlin has almost passed the entry stage.

"Didi, Didi"

The sudden ringing of the cell phone ring interrupted Merlin who was struggling to write.

At the moment just after the Spring Festival in 1994, another thing that made Merlin happy was that he could finally get rid of the brick-like communication tools he had before.

Earlier this year, Stark Industries released a more convenient and thinner communication device. It is said that it was designed by the genius designer Tony Stark. Its appearance is unexpectedly similar to the mobile phone sent to Merlin by Afu. .

After this conference, Merlin was finally able to take out his small mobile phone with fairness.

He picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and put it in his ear:

"Hello, Fury? Is there anything important about the overseas call at this time?"

"Your secondment is officially over, Merlin, back to New York."

Fury's voice sounded tired and dignified. He said:

"Constantine disappeared a week ago, and Agent Hitville, who assisted him, also disappeared mysteriously a day ago... Merlin, 2 hours ago, your house in the **** kitchen was burnt with my car. "

"Snapped"

The pen in Merlin's hand made a soft sound under heavy pressure. Agent 2 narrowed his eyes. He seemed to be thinking. After thinking about it, he asked:

"Little Eric and May are all right?"

"I am in Queens now."

Fury replied:

"It is safe to see how many of them are at present. I have also deployed staff on the side of St. Matthew's Church. But the attacker is mysterious. I have checked all the monitoring equipment on the streets of Hell's Kitchen, but I have not found any useful information. The fire in your house is a bit bizarre."

"Okay, I see."

Merlin stood up, picked up his coat, opened the door, and he said to Fury:

"I hurried back as quickly as possible to protect my family, please."

"Ok."

Merlin hung up the phone and returned to his hotel room as quickly as possible. After ten minutes, wearing a gray casual suit, dragging a trolley case, and carrying a backpack, Merlin took a taxi to the airport.

He did not forget to call Gattler. He told Gattler about what happened in New York. The latter did not stop Merlin, but used the relationship to arrange him in the most recent direct flight to New York.

Nearly 9 hours later, at dawn, Merlin, dragging the box, stood on the street of Hell's Kitchen.

In front of him, it was his former house, but now, only a piece of rubble left by the house is left in that house.

Merlin walked into the ruins that still smelled of burning smell. He crouched down and touched the burned debris with his gloved fingers. The fire was so thorough that almost nothing was left in the ruins.

But this is not the case in Merlin's eyes.

He reached out and took off his rimless glasses. In the state where Lingshi was turned on, he could clearly see a trace of marks left on the ruins of the sea of ​​fire. Among those ashes, there is a faint smell of sulfur, which ordinary people simply cannot catch.

It is not really sulfur, but a residue derived from the power of demons, which is a kind of magical energy.

Merlin grabbed a handful of ashes from the heat. He opened his hands and let the ashes fall from his fingertips. He carefully distinguished the odor of sulfur in the ashes, and after a few seconds, Merlin put on his glasses again.

That breath is familiar.

He was also loyal to knowing who the mysterious murderer was.

Morris...

The rabid Morris, the "son" of the Sannomiya, once formed the guy of the cult in the **** kitchen. Merlin had a relationship with him before going to Europe. Under Fury's push, Kohler once joined forces with the New York Police Department to eradicate the cult of Morris, and the rabid dog disappeared at that time.

More than a year, it was enough for Merlin to forget this person, but now, it has appeared again.

And this time, its goal was very clear, it was for Merlin.

In the dark, Merlin picked up his cell phone and dialed Fury's phone. He said to Fury:

"I know who the attacker is, Fury. Can you contact Master Ulysses. Bloodstone?"

"I haven't contacted Ulysses in 4 months."

Fury said in a low voice:

"Master Bloodstone will not be in contact with the outside world when performing tasks, but this time, I doubt that the master is in trouble. Listen to what you mean, it was those dark creatures who attacked this time?"

"Yes, half a demon."

Merlin says:

"Remember the **** mad dog destroyed by Kohler a year ago? The missing cult leader is back. And you are right, he came to me, can you please..."

"boom"

Before Merlin's request was finished, a strange blast sounded in the darkness not far away, as if a bomb had been detonated.

Merlin raised his head and saw a dark red and white arc of light shining in the night sky, just like the same lightning that tore the darkness, in that direction... it was St. Matthew's Church!

"Protect my cousin, Fury! The half demon appeared, I'll hang up first!"

Merlin turned off his cell phone, pulled out his wand, and the whole person turned into a rolling black smoke, rolled up his salute, and rushed towards the St. Matthew's Church a few blocks away.

In less than a minute, Merlin's figure appeared in front of St. Matthew's Church. In front of him, the door of the quaint church that had been more than 100 years old was torn apart, and flames were burning in the church, among which there was also call for help the sound of.

Merlin held the wand and rushed into the church. He looked at the blazing flames in front of him, and the nuns who hurriedly evaded in the flames.

"Aguamenti! (Water Calling Charm)"

When Merlin's wrist turned, a slightly more complicated spell was released in conjunction with the magic power. At Merlin's fingertips, the top of the wand Lola shone with the magic light, but wherever it pointed, there was a spark like a passive water flow. It was like a small rainstorm in a church.

Summon water spell.

Summoning the auxiliary magic of Qingquan, combined with the meal-making technique that can make food, can complete a less abundant but absolutely full lunch in an instant.

Under the constant scouring of the cool raindrops, the burning flame in the church extinguished little by little, and a strong devilish atmosphere remained in the church, but in Merlin's dark perception, there was no demon's whereabouts.

He inserted Lola back into the wooden box around his waist, and then walked into a messy church. The terrified nuns gathered and prayed silently. Under the church's sermon, Merlin saw the old acquaintance, Father Paul.

The latter seemed to be terrified. He was paralyzed on the steps of the preaching platform. His black robe had burnt areas. He held the rose rosary tightly, lowered his head, and chanted the sacred scriptures quickly. But his body is trembling, which represents the situation of ordinary people after experiencing a spiritual event.

"Father, how are you?"

Merlin crouched in front of Father Paul. He patted Father's shoulder and said softly:

"What happened just now? Can you tell me?"

Hearing the call, the praying priest opened his eyes, he saw Merlin, and he was a little surprised:

"Merlin? You haven't appeared in more than a year. Eric said you went to Europe on business..."

"Yes, I just came back."

Merlin said:

"As soon as I got out of the car, I saw the church catching fire. I came to help. What happened just now? I heard a loud noise and the light from the sky. The intertwined, dark red and White light. What the **** is going on?"

"That's...that's..."

The priest recalled the incident just now, his body trembling more violently, he clenched the rosary, closed his eyes, and said like a dream:

"It's a demon! I saw... The twisted, grisly, ugly demon broke into the church, it broke our gates arbitrarily, it spewed out the fire of hell, and wanted to burn us to death. But. ..But it must be the grace of the gods. A white light appeared in the church. It hurt the demon and the demon escaped..."

"God! Christ is on, there are really demons in this world."

Speaking of which, the priest stood up hurriedly, walked under the icon of the wall, and stood there more sincerely than ever, while thanking his own **** with a thankful voice while drawing a cross on his chest.

The dazed nuns also prayed with the priest. For a time, this messy church seemed to become holy.

Merlin did not disturb them. He stepped back a few steps and searched through the burned ruins of the church. Eventually, on the ground near the church door, Merlin found a thick blood stain like cooling magma.

He knelt in front of the blood stain, took off his gloves, wiped it with his fingers, and placed it under his nostrils and sniffed.

The pungent smell of sulfur caused Merlin to frown tightly.

Father Paul did not lie. This was indeed a demon, or half-devil blood. Sure enough, a demon came to the church, but was expelled by mysterious forces. If it was indeed the half-devil Morris, then it must have come here for little Eric.

Merlin felt a sense of urgency, and the half demon obviously already knew all his news. It is trying to hurt friends around Merlin, follow its actions, the next step...

It should be May.

His cousin, his only relative in the blood.

"Damn!"

Merlin stood up. He put on his gloves and looked back at the praying priests and nuns. He shook his head, dragged his luggage, and left the church.

On this late Christmas night, which seemed extremely cold, Merlin's eyes flashed a deadly cold light. He picked up the phone, dialed it, and put it in his ear. He said softly:

"Hello? Tucker?"

"I am Merlin...I need some weapons! Yes, real weapons!"
