Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 448 33. Newcomer Entry

Merlin slept for almost three hours, and at 5:55 in the morning, he opened his eyes on time.

Merlin sat up beside the bed, and according to the habit he had developed over the years, he picked up the water glass next to the bed and drank it down in one gulp.The feeling of the cold liquid flowing through the throat made him feel very comfortable.

Stretching his arms, he went downstairs to wash his hands, and prepared breakfast for the early Mr. Gu Gu. After finishing all this, he returned to the bedroom and stood in front of the closet.

The wardrobe is still those clothes, casual suits of the same style in various colors, trench coats, and several sets of men's hunting suits with a very medieval style.

Merlin's fingers slid through the clothes in the closet, and finally selected a gray suit with a light blue shirt.

In the full-length mirror, Merlin buttoned up the button, then looked around, and after confirming that there was no problem, he picked up the glasses on the table.These are not his original rimless glasses. His glasses were given to the gorilla Winston. The current ones are brown sunglasses that Merlin bought casually from a street stall.

But fortunately, with the help of Princess Su Rui who is here, she will probably make another pair of glasses for Merlin soon, so this pair of overused sunglasses probably won't last long.

"click"

With a soft sound, the case of the golden pocket watch in Merlin's hand was flipped open. He checked the time, then went downstairs, cut a few pieces of bread and red sausage, and prepared himself a glass of juice with ice.

After 10 minutes, Merlin stretched out his hand and patted the head of Gu Gu who was dozing on the sofa, told Gu Gu to take care of the house, and then disappeared into the living room in a flash.

He didn't go to the ghost base.

He came to the SDOLD headquarters in the basement of the 21st Century Bell Telephone Company, and today he had a special matter to deal with.

"Sir, you are being visited."

Just after Merlin sat in the office and signed several documents, Agent Lincoln's voice rang through the telephone on Merlin's desk, and he said to Merlin:

"It's a lady named Pamela Lillian Eisley. She said that she is here to apply for the job."

At the end, Lincoln's tone carried a hint of strong doubt.

Obviously, this young man is wondering whether a secret organization like SDOLD will openly recruit certain positions to the society?

"Bring her in, Lincoln."

Merlin reached out and pressed the call button, and he said to his headquarters assistant:

"She's my guest."

"Well, yes, sir, just a moment, please."

Lincoln hung up the communication, and a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Merlin's office. Immediately afterwards, Lincoln walked into Merlin's office with a lady in a green dress, carrying a handbag, and large-rimmed glasses. .

The lady is very young, she looks only in her 20s.

She is impressive because she has beautiful long red hair, and she has a beautiful appearance and a good figure. The pair of sunglasses on her face that almost covered most of her face also gave her a mysterious look Feel.

This is a woman who can easily attract the attention of men.

But she was a little nervous at this time, she was holding her resume in her hand, and she looked a little lacking in confidence.

The tension stems not only from the serious and dark feel of SDOLD, a government agency, but also from the person who introduced her to the new job.

Miss Pamela was born in Gotham since she was a child. She knows everything about Gotham very well. Like other young girls, she occasionally fantasizes about the rich and wealthy son of Gotham, Bruce Wayne, appearing in her life. .

As a result, a few days ago, her dream came true.

The handsome Mr. Bruce really appeared. He drove a luxury car, took his mysterious son, and invited Miss Pamela to dinner at the most luxurious restaurant in Gotham, and then offered a new job to Miss Pamela who had just lost her job. jobs.

Miss Pamela couldn't refuse this kind of super treatment. Although she didn't like working in a secret service, she still took the Wayne family's private plane and came to New York today to participate in this special "recruitment" ".

"Ok?"

Merlin, who was reading the document, felt Miss Pamela in front of him froze for several seconds. He raised his head in doubt, looked at the young girl in front of him, and said:

"Why don't you sit down?"

"Uh, sorry, I lost my mind."

Pamela was pulled back from her memories by Merlin, the young lady apologized a little awkwardly, and then sat down on the chair very ladylike.

She looked at Merlin, and began to habitually observe the chief agent in front of her.

This very serious secret service officer is about 30 years old, about 2 meters tall, and looks a little thin, but from the perspective of Pamela, a professional biologist, Merlin's figure is very well-proportioned, and he is Exercise regularly.

His sitting posture is very standard, and his hand holding the pen is strong and powerful. Although he wears strange brown glasses, he can still feel that he is a person full of energy.

And he has that special temperament, just like Bruce Wayne, he seems to belong to that kind of man with a story.

Well, look carefully, it's a little handsome.

However, Pamela quickly noticed that there was a slightly weird protrusion on Merlin's forehead, like a bony spur, and that his fingers were a little slender, not like a man's hand, and when he was thinking, his The fingers will curl up into a special posture unconsciously.

For ordinary people, such a posture is very awkward, but the agent in front of him behaves very naturally, which proves that he often uses this special gesture.

"Is there something on my face, Miss Pamela?"

Merlin picked up the pen, signed his name on the document, and said without raising his head:

"Why do you keep staring at me?"

"Uh, sorry."

Miss Pamela, who was called out for her petty tricks, apologized again. She said with some embarrassment:

"Hi sir, Mr. Bruce referred me for this job and told me that your organization needs the involvement of a biologist."

"Ah."

Merlin reached out to take the resume handed by Pamela, he opened it and looked at it, he said:

"It's not just Bruce, there are other people who recommended you to me. They are all real heavyweights in the circle of biologists. They recognize your ability and insight, Miss Pamela..."

"You may call me Lillian, sir."

Pamela folded her hands on her stomach, and she took off her sunglasses, revealing her flexible, pretty green eyes.

She said to Merlin:

"I am also very honored to receive such high evaluation from my predecessors."

"You haven't got your Ph.D. in Biology yet?"

Merlin looked at the resume, he frowned and said:

"No, judging by the time, you should have graduated from Dr. Jason Wood."

"You know Dr. Jason Wood?"

Pamela's eyes widened in surprise, but then she was relieved.

She was dealing with a secret service chief, and it would be abnormal for the organization not to investigate herself before accepting her into the job.

Pamela's complexion changed, and she explained:

"I was really supposed to graduate last month, but... some bad things happened. Anyway, I resigned from Dr. Jason's lab, and I fell out with Dr. Jason because of it."

"I heard that Dr. Jason has a bad reputation in the circle of biologists?"

Merlin asked casually:

"He has some anti-human tendencies?"

"This...I'm not very good at evaluating my previous mentor."

Pamela replied with some embarrassment:

"But it turns out that the rumors are not necessarily false. On the third day after I left office, Dr. Jason was caught by Batman for conducting illegal and inhuman human experiments, and then he was thrown into the Gotham City Jail by the police. inside."

The girl raised her head, she said to Merlin with some fear:

"Actually, I have to be thankful that I left early, otherwise the subject of that biological experiment might be me. My friend who stayed in that laboratory, another student of Dr. Jason, a biology graduate student, John Dr. Sen injected an overdose of plant toxins, and by the time Batman arrived, John had died tragically."

"Then you're lucky, Lillian."

Merlin put down his resume, and he said to Pamela in front of him:

"That's fine, our department needs lucky people... well, I'm just kidding, don't be afraid, Lillian, I don't need you and the agents going through the fire with guns, I just need you on the defensive Just complete our project in the strict laboratory."

"That...sir, can I ask, what is the project you need me to complete?"

Pamela asked:

"So that I can prepare in advance."

"It's bioaugmentation."

Merlin said frankly:

"You should have heard of the name of Dr. Vivian Graham, right?"

"Well, I've heard of it."

Pamela nodded and said to Merlin:

"Actually, I admire Dr. Vivienne a lot. Her research on ancient biology is world-class. Several papers she has published in recent years have caused a sensation in the industry. But Dr. Vivienne seems to support the government. She doesn’t work, so she doesn’t have deep connections with the industry and doesn’t hold seminars, which is really disappointing.”

"That's good."

Merlin knocked on the table and said:

"Vivian was in charge of this project before, and she recommended you to me. She thinks you are fully qualified for this job."

"In addition, this biointensified test has entered the stage of human trials, and Vivian helped us design a set of test procedures."

Merlin said to Pamela in front of him:

"I need you to improve this process, and if possible, simplify it further...I mean, it's best to shorten the test time while retaining the enhanced results."

"Of course, you need to join the job first before I can tell you the contents of this plan."

Merlin folded his hands on the table and said to Pamela:

"We can talk about your treatment first... Don't be so nervous, Miss Pamela, I know, in the eyes of ordinary people, working for the Secret Service is a terrible thing, but I can assure you, Those are just nonsense rumors."

"You'll get a lab of your own in Kansas, and the first phase of the research funding is around 500 million, and you can use it freely. Plus, we'll give you a colleague...you've heard of Moira. Dr. Audreyen?"

"Ah."

Pamela nodded, she said in detail:

"Dr. Moira's accomplishments in the field of genetics are as powerful as Dr. Vivian's in the field of ancient biology. She was also a world-renowned female biologist. Her focused and calm research style made us younger generations I adore it. But unfortunately, Dr. Moira is just like Dr. Jason. They are the kind of people who can do everything for the experiment, and then...she ruined her own reputation, and then disappeared mysteriously. Really pity."

"Very well, she will be your colleague for the next period of time."

Merlin said to Pamela:

"I hope you will get along well and work together."

"???"

A series of doubts suddenly appeared in Pamela's eyes.

She looked at Merlin suspiciously, seeming to suspect that Dr. Moira's mysterious disappearance a few years ago was kidnapped by this secret service organization.

This girl...associative power is really powerful.

When Merlin saw Pamela's expression, he guessed what the girl was thinking, and he said:

"Don't think too much, Moira's story is more complicated than you think. I can only tell you that she cooperated with us voluntarily."

Merlin's cell phone vibrated suddenly at this moment, he took a look and found that it was a message from Su Rui.

Merlin took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and said to Miss Pamela in front of him:

"Then, you have three days to consider whether to accept this job."

"Lillian, I will arrange for Agent Lincoln to take you to your future workplace to have a look, but if you choose to refuse in the end, then we will use some special methods to erase all your memories of S.H.I.E.L.D.. .Rest assured, this will not affect your cognition and other memories."

He stood up, adjusted his cuffs, and said to Pamela in front of him:

"Finally...you can call me Merlin, or you can call me sir."

"We really need excellent people to join us, to protect the lives of ordinary people from being disturbed by those mysterious affairs. I very much hope that you can also join this correct and great cause."

"I have a small request, Sir Merlin."

Pamela also stood up, and she said to Merlin:

"Before coming here, Mr. Bruce has already introduced me to the work content of SDOLD. I am also very interested in those aliens that only exist in legends. I am willing to accept this job."

"However, I still want to take time to complete my doctoral thesis, so I may need to conduct some other experiments in the laboratory after work, and I can guarantee that it will not affect my work efficiency."

"Oh?"

Merlin asked curiously:

"What kind of experiment? I heard from Vivian that you and Dr. Jason are working together to study some secrets about plants?"

"Yes."

After talking about her profession, Pamela seemed very excited, and she said to Merlin:

"It's about a special plant toxin that can parasitize living organisms under certain conditions, and form chlorophyll similar to plants in organisms, and endow organisms with the weak ability to manipulate plants."

"I regret that Dr. Jason has misused my research to harm others."

"But please believe me, Chief Merlin, once I complete my experiment, then mankind's relentless pursuit of conquering death will take another big step forward!"

"Uh, okay."

Merlin felt vaguely aware of these professional explanations, and he didn't care about them. He shot at Pamela, and said gently:

"You can spend your time as you like, Lillian, I just need to see the results."

"And, welcome to SDOLD."

"Welcome to SHIELD."
