Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 439 24. Reaper, Orangutans and Missing Persons

"This base is one of the largest research bases set up by those bastards in North America."

The big-headed George sat on a chair with some difficulty, leaning his big head against the edge of the back of the chair.With his current posture, he can no longer act like a normal person.

Merlin manipulated the gravitational force, lifted George in the air, and "pushed" him forward like a levitation.

The experimental accident in the underground test site has attracted the attention of many people in the base. Merlin didn't even need to spread his dark perception to sense that there were many people gathering and there were some rattling mechanical collision sounds.

Obviously, the base has realized that there are intruders, and they are trying to fight back just like last time.

George, who possessed super spiritual power in the "Intellectual Brain Development" experiment, also felt the gathering of those armed men, and a touch of fear appeared on his huge head, but Merlin didn't care.

As he walked forward, he asked:

"Tell me about AIM, what the hell is this organization? I mean, under the cover of a multinational technology company, this organization is really what it is, and you are a member of it. You should know it better than anyone else. "

Facing Merlin's inquiry, George's fist-sized eyes flashed a trace of undisguised hatred. He couldn't help reaching out and touching his big head again. He said:

"I'm also just a peripheral employee, and I haven't participated in their real confidential projects."

"I know that they conduct all kinds of inhumane experiments in bases around the world, those that are not allowed by law, beyond ethics, and appalling extreme scientific theories, including some anti-human thinking, these things are in the research of AIM There is a market in the blueprint."

George chattered on and on:

"As far as I know, AIM was established very early. In the early days, it seemed to be attached to another organization. When modern scientific theories were officially laid, AIM was researching the most cutting-edge knowledge at a speed far beyond the times. The first During World War II, AIM designed the most primitive version of energy weapons, and it is said that many key technologies in the launch vehicles of the Apollo moon landing program were lost from AIM’s data.”

"Actually speaking from my heart, I don't think this organization is inherently evil."

Despite the inhuman treatment, when George talked about AIM, he still had strong feelings. He said to Merlin with a complicated expression:

"I used to be a researcher with a dream, and I was invited to join AIM. Over the years, I have met many talented researchers and scientists in this organization. The philosophy of this organization is 'realize all possible science', It is a very pure organization of researchers, and more than half of the world's top researchers maintain a cooperative relationship with AIM."

"AIM provides them with the research resources they need and sufficient network resources, so that researchers from all over the world can have a platform to discuss their own ideas and realize those theories. At the same time, AIM also through this and the top interaction with researchers to reinforce its prestige in the scientific community. It has always done so.”

George said to Merlin with a sad face:

"You can't completely destroy AIM. It is like a shadow attached to the human scientific community. As long as science continues to move forward, AIM can be reborn from the ashes again and again."

"But what it's doing now is not advancing science."

Merlin said to George:

"They are on the side of the bad guys, and they are teaming up to challenge the existing rules. I have nothing against pure science. Maybe there is no good or evil in pure science, but those scientists are obviously addicted to using their own knowledge to create chaos. They're not innocent...I'm going to open the door."

Merlin held his wand and pointed to the closed alloy gate in front of him. He said to the big head George behind him:

"You'd better back off, bullets don't mean anything to me, but they can still hurt you."

"I want to fight too! Agent Merlin."

There was hesitation in the deformed George's eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said to Merlin:

"I can fight now too! I have strength too."

"You're still very inexperienced at manipulating that kind of psychic power."

Merlin turned back to George Tarleton who was suspended in the air and said:

"If you want to master this kind of invisible energy projection, you still need a lot of practice... However, if you really want to help, it's not impossible."

Merlin stood by the alloy gate, and he said to George:

"The level of power at the underground test site just now is enough to kill. I need you to lower the energy level of the projected power by half, then aim it at the passage in front of you, and release it in one go."

"I need you to stun them and give us a way into the base."

Merlin says:

"I want to see their research results, as well as the data you mentioned before, those things are very important."

"and many more."

Just when Merlin was about to open the door with the Unlocking Charm, George suddenly said:

"Maybe it doesn't have to be so much trouble."

"Ok?"

Merlin looked back at him. George was closing his eyes. His short hands, which did not match his big head, were groping in the air, as if he was sensing something.

"I can feel things, they're around me, and I can maybe manipulate them."

"what?"

Merlin asked:

"What did you sense?"

"data!"

george said:

"I feel the data transmitted in the optical fiber, the data instructions manipulated by the central defense computer, the commands that are constantly issued, the strings that dance in the computer, the internal logic database of the defense robot and the identification friend or foe signal, I can Feel... back off, Mr. Merlin."

The man with the big head suspended in the air stretched out his hands, as if there was a non-existent computer in front of him. His fingers tapped in the air. After a few seconds, Merlin heard the noisy and terrified voice behind the alloy door. There were screams, and the sound of guns firing. On the other side of the alloy gate, there seemed to be an infighting.

"Swish"

With a slight pull of George's hand, the alloy door in front of Merlin's eyes opened quietly.

This scene was like magic, but Merlin knew that it was not magic, but that George modified the data instructions of the base... He seized the data control of the base.

Merlin looked forward, and the passage in front of him was already filled with blood.

Those AIM armed robots who were supposed to stay with the defense personnel of the base to block the intruders, after George modified their identification friend or foe signals, these metal creations aimed their guns at their own people.

The "rebellion" of the defense robots was beyond the expectations of the security personnel in yellow jumpsuits. They were pierced by bullets from the front and behind. In the pool of blood, the robots slowly moved below. The crawlers, like soldiers guarding the king, guarded Merlin and George when George moved his hands.

"Can you use psychic power as a data interface?"

Merlin looked back at George, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said:

"This ability is really rare. How far can you manipulate data?"

"It's not big."

George opened his eyes, he seemed startled by the blood and corpses in front of him, he hastily closed his eyes again, and said to Merlin:

"About hundreds of meters, but if I focus on a certain direction, then I can feel the data that can be manipulated..."

While talking, George tentatively reached out and tapped in the air, as if turning on a switch.

In the control room on the second floor above the heads of Merlin and George, several security personnel who were sitting in front of the monitoring equipment and monitoring the internal images of the base suddenly heard a soft sound, and they raised their heads in a daze, and the result was Saw green gas wafting from the vent above the monitoring room.

Heck!

Someone activated the "final defense system" inside the base, and poisonous gas, violent poisonous gas was released into the monitoring room. The security personnel rushed to the door full of fear, trying to escape, but the controller of the alloy gate in the monitoring room , the data has been modified, causing it to be completely blocked.

Toxic gas is filling the monitoring room, they are finished...

"what have you done?"

In the lower passage, Merlin, surrounded by the defense robots, suddenly raised his head and looked above his head. He could feel several painful souls struggling above. He looked back at George with a slightly stern gaze. Let the latter be taken aback.

It's like a child who secretly did bad things was discovered.

"No, I'm just, just testing strength."

George argued:

"What's more, they help the evildoers, they deserve to die, don't they?"

"Yes! Damn them, for they've done bad things, they're villains."

Merlin glanced at George, and he said:

"The real question is, are you too? It's not them who made you what you are, George, what you owe, George."

"But they'll give away our whereabouts!"

George's tone became more intense, and he said:

"AIM's power is powerful, and once the higher-ups know we're alive, they won't let it go so easily."

"I have a way, and when it's over, I promise you, no one will remember what happened here."

Merlin looked at the fork in front of him, he waved his hand, and said to George behind him:

"You manipulate the robot to capture all the people in the base and drive them to the underground testing ground."

"You can take revenge, but I hope you don't hurt people at will. George, don't let power affect your mind. When I find those things I need, I will take you out of here, and I will find a way to heal you, actually , I've got an idea."

"Well, of course I believe you, Agent Merlin."

Under Merlin's control, George's body was placed on a four-legged robot. He lay there and manipulated the robot to carry him forward. He tilted his head and said to Merlin:

"You take the path on the left, which leads to the storage room, where many confidential things are stored. I have changed the permissions, and you now have the highest level of permissions in the base. As for me...I'm going to talk to Chat with my 'old bosses', we will meet up at the underground test site later."

After finishing speaking, those robots carried the big head George, and walked towards the right side of the fork. Where George walked, the lights in the passages flickered according to his will, just like welcoming the steel base. The master returned the same.

Merlin stood at the fork in the road. He watched George leave with a look of scrutiny and worry in his eyes.

Obviously, the newly born superhuman George Tarleton had amazing abilities, but that experiment not only distorted his body and gave him abilities, but also seemed to add something else to his soul and character.

Being able to quickly adapt to the newly obtained super intelligence, and looking at everything around him maliciously, doing some dangerous things as he pleases, this is not like what the honest, mediocre, even a little cowardly George could do...

"A restless ticking time bomb."

Merlin narrowed his eyes. He watched George disappear at the end of the passage under the carriage of the robot. He said softly:

"His ability...acts on the psychic power at the level of data and information. Is this a 'scientific version' of Professor Charles?"

A moment later, Merlin turned into black mist and floated into the passage on the right.George Tarleton's problems are turning around now, and he can still be guided to the right path.

A person who is suddenly empowered needs to be guided, and this initial guidance is important.

Just like the meaning of old Stan to Merlin, if it was not old Stan but another villain that he met on the train, maybe Merlin's life now would be very different.

The same is true for George. After the incident here is over, Merlin will bring George back to S.H.I.E.L.D. Let him act alone.

But now, Merlin has more important things to do.

"If what George said is true and AIM has found Steve Rogers who has been missing for decades, then many of my doubts can be answered."

Merlin quickly entered AIM's storage. He appeared in front of the warehouse. The scanner on the edge of the warehouse door emitted a blue light, scanning Merlin from the beginning to the end. A few seconds later, the warehouse door slowly opened , and a mechanical voice sounded at the same time:

"Welcome back, Dr. Merlin...All permissions of the storage system have been opened to you."

"Well, his ability is really useful."

Merlin straightened his collar and walked into the large storage in front of him. As a result, he saw a cylindrical glass cabin at the first sight. In the glass cabin marked with the nameplate of "Death", the thick black The fog rolled, sometimes converging into a human shape, and sometimes drifting away and disappearing.

This scene made Merlin narrow his eyes.

"Black Mist... Is this AIM's copy of my ability?"

"Well, it looks interesting."
