Shadow of the Beautiful World

Mazefak, that pain just now!

Fury sat in the chair, his fingers still twitching. That is the sequela after being attacked by a strong current.

Looking carefully, Fury's short hair is still standing upright, as if he has grown a little taller out of thin air. With an ice pack in his hand, he kept shaking his head, trying to wake himself up.

Beside him, Agent Button said with some hesitation:

Maybe, I should wait for that arrow just now.

No, Barton.

Fury shook his head, picked up an ice pack and applied it to his head. He said to the apologetic Barton:

You handled it very well just now. You and Merlin cooperated seamlessly. I don't blame you. In fact, I am very grateful to you for saving me from that ugly monster.

As he spoke, Fury stared viciously at Talos the Skoru who was trapped on the pillar in the room in front of him.

The latter was bound with chains, probably to prevent him from escaping. The chains were so tight that Talos looked like a metal silkworm chrysalis.

Facing Fury's glare, Talos shrugged helplessly and said in standard English:

I've said it, more than once. We have no ill intentions towards you people on Earth.

Where's Monica?

Carol Danvers, who was sitting on the other side, patted the table and asked:

Where did your people take that innocent little girl?

We didn't intend to hurt anyone.

Talos snorted, turned his head to look at Merlin, and said:

Release my captured subordinates, and we will return the little girl to you!

You're haggling, huh?

Fury stood up, standing in front of the alien, he whispered:

You don't want the life of the Skrull we captured, do you?

Anyway, if we can't get what we need, we will die!

Talos said to Fury in a serious tone:

When we laid traps to ambush the Kree Star Troops, we put our life and death on the line! Do you think the Skrulls are weaker than the Earthlings?

Then what exactly do you want?

Carol looked directly at Talos, and she said:

I've never heard that Queen Skrull has a free-moving army. I've heard of you, Talos, you are considered a 'big man' in Skrull civilization, and you betrayed your queen! Even we think you're crazy, so, what do you want?

We want to live!

Talos breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to everyone in front of him in a lonely and sincere voice:

We're just begging for everything we've done to escape the hell of war! Not all Skrulls are evil and our only hope of survival is in you! In your head ! Carol Danvers! Only you know where the lives of us exiles lie!

Feel sorry.

Carol shook her head:

I have no idea.

No! You know!

Talos said with determination:

You just haven't recalled it yet. If you can let me go now, I have something here that should wake up your sleeping memory.

The alien leader said seriously:

Trust me, folks. We really mean no harm!

While Fury, Carol and Barton were interrogating the Skrulls, on the farm near Maria's home, Merlin, Natasha and Maria were trying to find the little boy who had been taken away by the Skrulls. Girl Monica.

Merlin spread his darkness perception to the extreme, and he didn't find any life activities similar to Monica's. It seems that the Naskru people have taken the little girl to other places.

Look outside for another 15 minutes, then we'll go back!

Natasha, who is experienced in searching, said to the two people around her:

It's risky to act in the dark, not to mention that the Skrulls can disguise at will, we'd better not spread out.

You and Maria, Natasha, my speed is faster, and I will continue to look for them outside.

Merlin looked at the nervous Maria, and asked in a low voice:

If you find Monica, do you know what to do?

Ok, I know.

The bereaved mother held a pistol in her hand, and with a blaze of rage in her eyes, who had seen the Skrulls' camouflage with her own eyes, she said to Merlin:

My daughter loved eating strawberry cookies when she was a child, but after she got a tooth decay at the age of 4, I didn't allow her to eat it anymore.

Very well, this question is very important.

Merlin's figure turned into a puff of smoke in the dark night, searching for a place farther away, while Natasha and Maria searched in another direction together.

Merlin was in a bad mood, not only because the little girl Monica was missing, but also because Coulson who came with them also lost contact with them just now.

It is very possible that Coulson, who was guarding outside the farm, also encountered a disguised Skrull.

He had just met his younger brother who had been away for 5 years, and in the blink of an eye, he lost his younger brother again. Maybe, he is still in mortal danger now.

This feeling is really too bad.

Meow meow!

Just as Merlin flew over a row of abandoned houses on the edge of the farm, he suddenly heard a few cat meows in the dark, and the cat's voice was very familiar.

Merlin quickly turned a corner and searched for the sound in the darkness. A few minutes later, he saw a familiar kitten at the entrance of an abandoned basement.

It was lying on the edge of the basement, licking its paws and meowing.

It seemed that he was calling his master.

Cuckoo?

When Merlin saw the orange cat, he recognized its identity.

This was the cat he had met in Pegasus Base, with a silver collar and an ID badge around his neck, always lazy, but with a gleam of wisdom in his yellow eyes.

After seeing Merlin appear, the kitten turned its head suddenly, and its tail shook. Obviously, it recognized Merlin who had fed it.

Why are you here? Did you come with Fury and Carol?

Merlin knelt down and touched the kitten's head, the kitten pressed its head against Merlin with a hint of nostalgia.

Well, I forgot you can't talk.

Merlin tried to pick up the cat, but Gugu avoided Merlin's hand in a flash.

It quickly ran to the edge of the basement, then glanced back at Merlin, then ran along the edge of the basement to the house on the other side.

Merlin felt that he might be crazy.

But he really saw from Gu Gu's eyes that the cat meant to follow me!

Damn it! It's actually a magical creature, it must be, right?

Merlin said something, then turned into smoke, and followed Gu Gu over the fence of the farm.

After advancing in the darkness for nearly 5 minutes, Merlin felt that in a dark house ahead, there was a breath of life that looked like Monica.

The kitten nimbly jumped onto the window sill of that family, and lay there lying there, as if waiting for Merlin to make a move.

Thanks, Gu Gu.

In the shadows, Merlin put a few pieces of cat food in front of the kitten, then quietly opened the window and jumped into the room.

But to his surprise, there was another person in the room besides the little girl Monica who was already asleep.

Coulson!

He seemed alert, gun in hand, looking out the window along the way.

Colson!

Merlin appeared from the smoke, he turned on the lights in the room, and then called Coulson's name from behind. The latter was startled, and he turned around and aimed his gun at Merlin who suddenly appeared.

But after seeing Merlin, he immediately showed a smile.

Sir, you are finally here.

Coulson put away the gun and limped towards Merlin. And Merlin stood where he was, watching him carefully with his dark perception.

The eyes are exactly the same.

Cheeks, exactly the same.

accent, exactly the same

The outline of the soul is exactly the same.

The posture of action is exactly the same.

Hair heck, even that high hairline is exactly the same.

I rescued this little girl from the Skrulls, but he broke my communicator, so I had to find a temporary place to hide here. It's great to see you again.

Coulson had a familiar smile on his face, and his leg was still bleeding, as if he was really injured. With a concerned expression on Merlin's face, he said to Coulson:

You're doing great rookie. You're hurt and the kid is safe, so now it's time for us to go and take this girl with me, she's important.

Having said that, Merlin suddenly asked:

By the way, how is Lola? Where is she? Didn't she come with you?

Hearing this question, Coulson showed a difficult smile on his pale face due to injury, and he said to Merlin:

Don't test me, sir. I'm not from Skrull. I'm here with you to carry out the mission. You go to rescue Chief Fury. I stay outside alone to guard. There is no Lola at all.

All right.

Merlin finally showed a smile, and he nodded to Coulson:

Now I know you are real, hurry up and take the little girl away.

Coulson nodded. He dragged his injured leg and walked towards Monica who was sleeping on the sofa.

boom

But at the moment Coulson approached, Merlin suddenly threw a punch and hit Coulson hard in the abdomen.

This punch came so fiercely and so quickly that Coulson couldn't resist it at all.

Under the full force explosion, this punch of more than 800 pounds sent the whole body of the pretender in front of him flying from the ground, hitting the wall of the house like a cannonball.

Before the dizzy pretender got up, the fighting stick, which was shining with blue electric light, fell on his head. The pretender tried his best to dodge, but the stick still hit his neck.

Under the violent electric shock, the muscles on the pretender's face began to contort, and he growled to fight back.

But in the next second, the expressionless Merlin raised his left foot, kicked the wound on his leg fiercely, and then hit the guy in the chest with a stick.

The pain of the wound being attacked, coupled with the violent surge of electric current, made it very difficult for the pretender to resist. After a few seconds, he fell to the ground under Merlin's heavy blow, unable to get up again. up.

Merlin retracted the electric shock baton, he squatted down, and stood in front of the pretender.

He looked at the face that resembled Coulson and said:

Whether you're Coulson or not

If you dare to forget Lola, you should fight!

ah!

The sound of fighting woke up the sleeping little girl. She curled up on the sofa and screamed violently. Merlin stood up and pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose. He looked at the frightened Monica and said gently:

Little girl, I am your mother's friend, now I will ask you to answer. What did you like to eat when you were young?

Ice cream, donuts, and strawberry cookies.

When Monica heard the elder brother who had defeated the villain in front of her say that she was a friend of her mother, the little girl instinctively calmed down. When she heard Merlin's question, she quickly answered:

But after I was 4 years old, I had tooth decay, and my mother wouldn't let me eat it.

very good.

Merlin heaved a sigh of relief, he waved to the little girl, and let the little girl rush over and hug his leg. Merlin patted Monica on the head. The 9-year-old girl seemed really terrified.

Natasha, I found Monica and captured a Skrull. Tell Maria that she doesn't have to worry.

Merlin used the communicator to report the news, and the next moment, a more surprising news came back.

Okay, Merlin. Also, we found Agent Coulson, he was injured, but he said he injured the Skoru who held Monica, and we're taking them home.

Oh, is it so?

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Coulson was safe and sound. He looked down at the wound on the pretender's leg. It should have been injured by Coulson, but the alien's self-healing ability is really strong. The wound caused by the bullet, after just a few hours, healed. It has started to scab over.

It seems that it makes sense for Fury to recruit Coulson.

Merlin smiled, reached out to grab the unconscious pretender, and led the little girl out of the room.

He let Monica cuddle the sleepy orange cat again, then rolled them up with smoke, and rushed back to Maria's house after ten minutes.

—

Monica, my baby.

Maria hugged her daughter and wept with joy. Carol stood beside them, gently patting the shoulder of her once best friend.

Mom, that brother can do magic!

After seeing her relatives, Monica forgot her fear. She hugged her mother, pointed at Merlin and screamed:

He will become the wind!

Merlin shook his head, ignoring the child's praise.

He first fetched some cat food for tonight's hero, Gu Gu, and then went to see Coulson.

The rookie's arm was broken by the Skoru, but he returned the assailant with a single bullet. At this time, the rookie agent Coulson had cleaned up his wound and fell into a deep sleep.

Merlin didn't bother Coulson, he closed the door and walked into the living room.

Bang, bang

The captured and ashamed Skoru captive was thrown in front of Talos, and Merlin held his own Colt pistol and pressed it against the Skoru man's head.

And Fury stood beside him, with a gentle face and said to the desperate Talos:

Now, the earthlings lead by 4 points, and the Skrulls have 0 points

Fury looked at Talos, and he whispered with confidence:

So, Mr. Talos, are you still planning to say something?

Talos looked at his subordinate who was full of guilt. He sighed, looked at Merlin with the gun, and then set his sights on Fury. He said:

Okay, I say. If you really want to know.
