Shadow of the Beautiful World

Merlin stood alone at the elevator entrance on the fifth floor underground.

He hid in the shadows, put on the black combat uniform specially bought for stealth combat, wore a black hood on his head, and held two stick-shaped electric shock devices in his hand.

He adjusted his breathing, allowing himself to enter a state suitable for fighting.

Fury and Firth were trying to get out of here, and he had to buy them time.

He has made up his mind not to go with Fury. From Fury, he thought of another person who was closely related to the Pegasus project, and she was still alive.

Ms. Carter, perhaps, he could get more useful information from Ms. Carter.

As for Fury, Merlin believed that with Fury's vigilance and wisdom, he would definitely be able to escape here with Foss.

Most importantly, Firth is strong enough to protect Fury even in danger.

He also knew that Firth had been secretly communicating with some Cree people. After Firth unearthed some secrets, it was hard to say whether those Kree people would land on Earth like the Skrulls.

Earth has enough troubles with aliens, so don't get involved.

Ding

With a soft sound, the elevator door opened in front of Merlin's eyes, and several young agents with guns were about to rush out of the elevator. Merlin took a step forward, and accurately hit the chests of the two agents with two short sticks wrapped with blue electric current at the top. The strong paralyzing electric current knocked them to the ground.

The black mist suddenly rose, and the other agents who were caught off guard rushed back into the elevator while screaming.

Ding

The elevator doors closed again.

Bang, bang, bang

Several dull gunshots sounded in the elevator, followed by desperate and terrified screams.

Ding

Five seconds later, the elevator doors opened again.

Merlin came out of the elevator carrying a short stick. He stretched his neck and straightened his collar. Behind him were several agents who were knocked out and then stacked together.

Quick! Quick!

On the fifth floor underground, at the entrance of the stairs of this huge archive room, under the leadership of several old agents, two teams of agents rushed into the brightly lit archive room. In this warehouse full of huge iron cabinets, they passed through They searched one channel after another.

Under the leadership of Director Kohler, they tried to find out Nick Fury, who had betrayed the organization, and a dangerous woman who was wanted and suspected of being a foreign spy.

And just as these agents were looking for it, a hand was quietly placed on the switch on the wall, and with a soft bang, the lights in the entire archive room were suddenly extinguished at this moment.

The agents were confused by the sudden darkness, but the next moment, the sound of a heavy object being knocked down sounded in the darkness, accompanied by the angry or terrified screams of their companions.

Bang, bang, bang

One after another, the agents were precisely knocked down in the darkness, as if a ghost was wandering through the room.

The remaining agents held pistols in their hands, and any sign of trouble would attract their fire.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful the bullet is, it can't hurt the dark wind.

boom

Merlin appeared behind an agent, and the short stick in his hand carried a huge electric current, and it stabbed the agent's lower back. He trembled all over and fell to the ground screaming in pain.

The agents around him turned around and pulled the trigger, but the billowing mist covered them like a mask.

The sound of the stick hitting the flesh was so horrifying. After just a few seconds, the last agent who was still persisting rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. Merlin shook off the blood on the short stick and began to look for the next target. .

This archive room shrouded in darkness is like his hunting ground in the dark.

There was a female agent who was quick-witted, and she rushed to the wall, trying to turn on the lights again, so that the guy in the night could show his figure.

But the moment she turned on the light, she saw Merlin knocking the last of his standing companions to the ground.

The entire file room was silent.

The 5 veteran agents who entered here, plus 20 rookie agents, were all knocked down in less than 5 minutes.

and she

This lucky girl was the last one.

The ground was full of unconscious agents, and there was some pungent smell of blood.

The girl thought that the light would bring her a sense of security, but at this moment, when she saw the attacker wearing a black combat uniform and a hood looking back at her, under the light, the girl felt a wave of The indescribable horror and fear, like the tide, submerged her bit by bit.

She watched the guy walking towards her step by step with two short sticks in his hand.

She held the pistol in both hands, but her arms were shaking constantly. She tried to pull the trigger, but couldn't!

Fingers are getting weak!

She is just a trainee agent who has just received five months of training. She has only shot targets, but she has never really shot. More importantly, in the face of a monster who knocked down 25 agents with his bare hands, can this pistol really protect her?

Merlin walked step by step towards the frightened girl who was stuck against the wall. He looked at her, and he could feel that the girl was trembling all over.

Fear had overwhelmed her.

this is a real noob

Is Kohler crazy? He actually brought these rookies who hadn't completed their agent training here to join the battle?

Isn't he afraid that these rookies really die here?

Or, that incompetent, that lunatic, actually doesn't care about the lives of these people at all?

Don't! Don't come here!

The girl screamed, and she pointed the gun at Merlin, and there were tears in her beautiful eyes, tears of fear.

Don't come here! I'll shoot! I really will!

child

Merlin stood 3 meters away from the girl. He spread his hands and said to her in a hoarse voice:

Didn't your instructor teach you? Before you shoot, put the safety on!

ah?

The girl agent suddenly looked down at her pistol. The next moment, Merlin's figure suddenly disappeared and dissipated into black smoke. When he reappeared, his left hand had already strangled the girl's neck, pulling her off the ground easily. He lifted it and pressed it against the wall.

The girl was so frightened that she didn't even struggle.

And Merlin stretched out his hand and picked up the girl's ID card hanging on his chest. He looked at it, then shook his head and let go of the terrified girl, letting her limp on the ground along the wall.

Merlin squatted down. He reached out and patted the girl's face. He said:

Agent Maria Hill, I regret to tell you

Your mind is very sharp, but the training of agents is very poor!

Get ready to go back and practice!

After finishing speaking, under Agent Hill's horrified gaze, Merlin's figure disappeared before her eyes as if he had never existed, just like a real ghost.

The girl folded her arms full of fear. She looked left and right, trying to find Merlin. But she couldn't find it. Ten seconds later, the girl dropped the gun, covered her face with her hands, and let out a weak cry

She was scared to cry by Merlin

Merlin ignored the collapsed rookie agent Maria Hill. When he walked out of the file room, he saw a strong man in a military uniform standing at the end of the passage, looking at him with unkind eyes.

From this strange guy, Merlin felt a special aura.

A little more dangerous than those agents.

swish

The soldier raised the gun in his hand and fired wildly at Merlin. And Merlin's figure seemed to be scattered by bullets, roaring in the air with a dark posture.

boom

Merlin, who had condensed into a solid body, punched the soldier on the chin, knocked him back a few steps, pulled the gun from his hand, and threw it on the ground. But after being punched by Merlin, the soldier just shook his neck and put on a fighting stance again.

This made Merlin even more surprised.

He was injected with the super soldier serum, although it was only half of the normal skill, and the increase in strength was limited, but the strength of 800 pounds was not something that anyone could easily bear.

This shows that this guy in front of him is weird!

ah!

The soldier let out a roar, raised his fist and charged at Merlin, hitting him on the head. Merlin's figure disappeared again, dodging the blow, and swung the two short sticks in his hand, carrying a violent electric current, and smashed hard on the soldier's back. This was enough to paralyze the attack of a bull, but only made the strong man's movements stagnate a little.

He turned around and grabbed Merlin in his hand in a grappling gesture.

But as the darkness dissipated, he grabbed an empty space again.

Merlin inserted the electric shock baton back into his waist, and pulled out the fighting knife in his boots. He held the handle of the knife backwards, and when he passed by the strong man, he stabbed the knife into his thigh.

It felt like being pierced into a piece of tough leather.

Skrulls!

Merlin blurted out, then dodged an elbow from the disguised alien.

After realizing that the person in front of him was not from the earth, Merlin didn't care about it anymore. In just one minute, the alien was stabbed seven times, and the blue-purple blood flowed on his skin. Everywhere.

Bang, bang

With all his strength, Merlin hit the alien with two heavy punches on the shoulders, knocking him half-kneeling on the ground.

Merlin fixed the guy's head with both hands, and swung his left leg and knee, like a fired heavy cannon, hitting the Skrull's face fiercely.

click

With a muffled sound, the bridge of the nose of the alien warrior with tremendous strength and astonishing physical strength collapsed, shaking his body amidst the spurts of blue-purple blood, and finally fell to the ground.

Fu

Merlin stretched his arms and took a step back. He looked at the injured and exhausted alien on the ground. This guy was almost exactly the same as the Skrull on the dissecting table.

Sure enough, it was these pretenders who were making trouble.

boom

Just when Merlin was about to tie up the alien, a gunshot sounded from behind him, and the bullet pierced Merlin's body like a layer of mist.

Merlin turned his head and looked at the assailant behind him.

It was a serious man in a blue suit, tie, rimless glasses, and gray hair.

That's Kohler!

Although Merlin never met him, Merlin had seen a picture of him at Fury's.

Let him go!

Seeing that the pistol could not hurt Merlin, Kohler drew another gun from his waist. That's not the pistol style on Earth, it looks like some kind of energy weapon.

You black mist monster!

Kohler held an energy gun, and he said fiercely:

You sabotaged our operation! Damn it! We didn't intend to make you an enemy! All we want is that woman!

Being pointed at by the energy gun, Merlin felt a hint of danger. This energy weapon from aliens seemed to be able to hurt him. So he stood up, spread his hands, looked at Kohler, or at the Skoru in front of him disguised as Kohler, and said:

Ferth is on our side! No matter what you want to use her for, you have to pass our level first!

We don't want to do anything! We don't want to hurt her at all!

Kohler said:

All we want is to survive! Why can't you understand! The Kree are the real warmongers! They are coming, to your planet! That tyrant Ronan the Accuser will burn your world to the ground! Believe me, he'll do that! That madman loves war, loves killing and that's how he destroyed our homeworld!

It has nothing to do with me.

Merlin's fingers drooped slightly. He looked at Kohler in front of him, and he suddenly said something Kohler couldn't understand.

Expelliarmus! (Disarming Curse)

With a light hook of Merlin's finger, the Disarming Curse flew out precisely, and the energy gun in Kohler's hand jumped away from Kohler's finger as if it had a consciousness of its own.

The energy gun seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand, and was thrown into Merlin's hand the next moment.

This fantastic scene made the Skrulls stunned for a moment.

But Merlin didn't give him any more time to react. After getting the energy gun, he pulled the trigger.

Crack, crack, crack

Three scorching rays shot at the Skrull disguised as Kohler. The latter raised his arm, and an energy shield blocked his body, blocking the rays of light, while he rolled on the ground in embarrassment.

Merlin wanted to pursue him, but behind him, the nearly unconscious Skoru fighters hugged Merlin's legs, and at the same time shouted in an obscure alien language:

Go! Talos! Go! They're going to Louisiana! Go find them!

boom

Merlin raised his foot and kicked the alien's face, knocking him out completely. But when Merlin turned around again, the alien Talos was no longer in front of him.

That guy runs so fast!

But it's okay, there's still you!

Merlin lowered his head and looked at the unconscious Skoru at his feet. He breathed a sigh of relief, put the alien's gun into his magic pocket, and stretched out his hand, intending to lift the alien up.

And at this moment, accompanied by the sound of the safety of the pistol being released, a familiar voice sounded behind Merlin:

Don't move! Or I'll shoot you!

This voice made Merlin stop in place as if struck by lightning.

He turned his head and looked in disbelief at the young man in the uniform of an agent holding a pistol behind him.

The brown hair, the gray eyes, the serious face when the mouth is pursed, and the slightly higher hairline in the past few years

Phil Coulson

How will you be here?
