Shadow of the Beautiful World

boom

In the early hours of the morning, the door of the mystery room was roughly pushed open, and the border queen Liana, who was still in her pajamas, strode into the hall.

In front of her eyes, the Riley family has almost all the people who can fight.

Merlin was sitting on the sofa, holding an electronic document in his hand, and Nick Fury, the one-eyed dragon, was sitting opposite him, and Raven was quietly comforting the irritable Lorna.

The two mistresses sat on the other side, where the unconscious Laura was being treated by Xuan Lan.

I heard that my brother was replaced by those bastards?

Liana walked up to Merlin, and she asked:

Really?

It's not clear yet.

Merlin didn't answer, as if he didn't hear it, Fury, who was sitting there with his legs crossed, said:

When Ms. Hermione sent Laura back, she relayed what the little girl said to us. She said that she saw Logan discussing matters with a group of mutants using a projection.

Among them is your brother, Colossus, Professor Charles, and others.

Fury glanced at Liana, and he said:

But Logan has been determined to be a Skrull in disguise, which means that the guys who discussed things with him are very likely to be his accomplices.

Liana pursed her lips, she hadn't taken the Skrull invasion seriously before.

After all, there are only more than 1,000 Skrulls. No matter how bad they are, what flowers can they find?

But now, after her only relative was suspected to have been replaced, Liana realized the seriousness of the problem.

She suppressed the anger and impulse in her heart, glanced at Merlin, then turned her head and said to Fury:

According to this statement, if even Professor Charles and Logan are replaced, doesn't that mean that Utopia Island is the hardest hit area for the replacement of Skrulls?

It's possible.

Fury shrugged and said:

Because of the particularity of Utopia, I didn't send agents there before, and fortunately I didn't. Otherwise, with the professor's ability, those agents couldn't hide at all.

They're not that strong.

Mistress Carol, who was sitting on the side, turned her head and said to Fury:

Even for Queen Skrull's cronies, the most advanced Skrull fighters, the imitation of special abilities can barely reach two-thirds of the original version at most.

Carol knew the most about the Skrulls, and her words carried a lot of weight.

And Elsa, who was sitting beside her, also said:

That's true. Don't scare yourself. If the Skrulls can be strong enough to fully simulate, after they replace Professor X, they can easily occupy the world. Why do they need to engage in any conspiracy?

But what about Logan?

Hermione, who had been helping Xuanlan treat Laura, turned her head and asked suspiciously:

Although I haven't seen the specific battle process, judging from the little girl's injury and Daken's description, the Skrull's imitation of Logan's self-healing power has almost reached the same level as the original version. Higher than the original Logan.

That's a coincidence.

Carol carefully explained:

As an alien life form, the Skrulls have a certain self-healing ability, coupled with the simulation at the molecular level, it has Logan's self-healing factor, and the natural effect of adding two or two is extraordinary.

The most important thing is that Daken also said that the fake Logan reached some kind of agreement with the ancestor wolf Romulus a few months ago. That ancestor wolf has been studying the secret of the self-healing factor for nearly a thousand years. , it is only natural for the fake Logan to be strengthened.

Having said that, the mistress paused.

She glanced at the unconscious Laura, and said:

Compared to being entangled in this special individual, what I'm more curious about now is whether the sudden exposure of the fake Logan will arouse the vigilance of the Skrulls.

She looked at Fury, and she said:

Will this incident have a chain reaction and destroy your ongoing 'hunting'?

That's why I came here overnight.

Fury rubbed his forehead with a headache, and he said to the others:

The news is blocked, but it must not be kept secret for long. The Skrulls also have their own communication system. Once the fact that the fake Logan died is confirmed, the Skrulls will definitely make adjustments. The plan has been completely suppressed. It's messy...

It's a good thing.

Merlin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said something, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Raven Lord's projection put the electronic document in his hand on the table, he stood up, and walked to the unconscious Laura.

He stretched out his hand to caress the scarred face of the little wolf girl, a trace of pity flashed in his blue eyes, but it was fleeting, and he said:

This is a good thing, Fury, haven't you been suffering from not being able to seize the initiative? This sudden incident is a good opportunity!

How to say?

Fury looked at Merlin, waiting for his explanation.

This moment seems to be back in S.H.I.E.L.D., when the director and deputy director discuss some covert operations.

Zatana, you are the best stage magician in the world, tell me, what is the most important point of stage magic?

Merlin didn't immediately answer Fury's question.

He turned to look at Miss Magician.

The latter froze for a moment, and she quickly replied:

Creating points of interest, attracting attention, making them ignore my other movements...magic, visual deception.

Right, that is it.

Raven withdrew his fingers, and he said to the others:

It doesn't really matter whether the fake Logan is dead or not.

According to the information that Fury has sorted out so far, the attack of the Cree is an established fact. If the Skrulls are not willing to be captured and die generously, then no matter how they adjust internally, their plan will not change. changing.

Instigate human civilization against the Cree, provoke malice, and let the two civilizations go to war without end, and then they benefit from it.

They hide in the shadows and make up conspiracy, and the initiative is on their side. This is not acceptable.

The raven said, emphatically speaking:

We need to put pressure on them in the open, force them to act faster, and force them to show their feet.

And when they are attracted by the pressure on the bright side, you will have more room to act in the dark, and you will be more calm. The combination of light and darkness will allow the Skrulls to take the initiative to walk into our design. into the trap.

Specifically?

Rui Wen asked with cold eyes.

Her sweet little sister was hurt, and the Pride Queen is trying to get revenge.

specific...

Merlin and Fury looked at each other.

The two old Yinbi exchanged glances. Among the people sitting, probably only Fury could guess what Merlin was thinking.

Well, old yinbis are always attracted to each other.

It's only been 2 hours since the fake Logan was killed, and the fake Logan's body was brought back, Strange specially dealt with the scene, and the Skrulls went there and couldn't find anything useful Information.

For them, they only know that the fake Logan went after Laura, but they still don't know the specific result. This is their advantage.

Fake Laura's death to make the Skrulls think that the fake Logan's hunt was successful, and make them think that the fake Logan's identity hasn't been revealed yet.

Merlin let out a long breath, and he said:

Liana, pick a time tomorrow to meet your brother, 'reveal' the news of Laura's death to Colossus, and then tell it. The others blocked the news and didn't tell me.

Then, Ruiwen, tomorrow afternoon, you take Lorna to Utopia Island, make a big noise, and force Charles to hand over the murderer!

Carol can also go with you, as long as the fake Charles dares to peek into your hearts, teach it a lesson!

Although the main body is still on the side of the angel kingdom, tomorrow at midnight, the projection I left on the earth will show up in person...

Merlin narrowed his eyes and said:

Pressure, put pressure on them, enough pressure will make them adjust their strategies, Fury, you and your hunters play by ear, I will not get involved in your affairs, you are much better at seizing opportunities than I am .”

But the fake Logan is dead.

The silly girl Lorna hasn't reacted yet.

She scratched her hair and said to her brother:

Uncle Braised Egghead said just now that the Skrulls also have their own communication system. If they can't get in touch with the fake Logan, no matter how we pretend, it will be exposed.

You don't have to worry about that, girl.

Raven waved his hand, he turned to look at the glasses girl, who noticed Merlin's eyes, she pushed the black-rimmed glasses and said softly:

The communicator collected from the fake Logan is being cracked. Although the Skrull's language is obscure, if it's just a simple simulation, it's not a big problem.

Okay, speed up.

Lord Raven turned his head to look at Fury, he said:

I didn't intend to participate in this matter. I know you already have a plan and have already started to implement it. Because of the sudden chain of events triggered by Laura, it is very likely that the game you could have won will fall into the predicament of failure. .”

So, I'll help you, Fury.

But before entering the last ring, I can't directly show up. There are many people in hell staring at me.

Once those old immortals notice your ongoing plan, they will probably join in on a whim, such as Mephisto, who is afraid of chaos in the world.

Once other hell lords are involved, it will be difficult to finish this matter.

Merlin said to Fury:

I'll make sure that no one interferes with this matter, just let it go and let those Skrulls see that the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is amazing!

———————————

After the others left, accompanied by Xuan Lan, Merlin walked into the cage of the mysterious house.

In the prison cell surrounded by beams of light, Daken, who had been knocked out before, had woken up.

This rebellious son of the wolf was staying in a large cage of light beams, sitting on the edge of the bed bored, playing with his own bone claws, playing with himself quite happily.

Daken, I have to thank you for saving my Laura from the Skrulls.

Merlin hovered in front of the cage, he looked at Daken with his head down, and said:

Although you were a little 'unhappy' before, it seems that it should be written off, and I should compensate you. But I think you may not need compensation. You are a proud person in your heart.

How can you tell I'm proud?

Daken suddenly raised his head, looked at Merlin with a strange smile, and said:

I am actually a person who does all kinds of evil. There is no place for dignity in my heart. For my goals, I can do anything...

Oh, really?

Merlin pointed to his ear, he said:

But that's not what you say in your heart, Daken. It's pointless to hide your thoughts from me. I can hear the most sincere voice in your heart.

And don't expect the trap that Romulus, the ancestor wolf, set in your mind to work... That thing is meaningless to a person like me.

Lord Raven stretched out his finger, and in the beating of the orange halo on his fingertips, he said:

This is not a means of mind control, it is a power that you cannot understand. In short, proud descendant of wolf blood, now, I need to cooperate with you to do something.

You hate your father, you hate Logan, you wish to kill him yourself, but in your heart, you also long for the real Logan to return to this world...

I can tell you that those converted by the Skrulls are not dead, but only after defeating them can those poor people be brought back.

Logan is among them, if you want to get your father back, then cooperate with me.

Merlin looked at Daken, and he said:

I can use coercive means that you can't resist to complete this matter, but I don't want to do that. I will give you a chance to choose, just treat it as your reward for saving Laura, a fair deal.

I want you to pretend to be a fake Logan and continue to contact those Skrulls to create the illusion that the fake Logan is still alive.

it's useless!

Daken scoffed at Merlin's plan. He adjusted his weird hairstyle and said:

If those people can perfectly disguise themselves as Logan, it means they can perfectly disguise themselves as anyone. I don't have that ability, I can't fool them, and I can't speak their language.

These are just minor obstacles.

Merlin handed Daken a bracelet inlaid with red gemstones, and he said:

This thing is called the Orb of Deceit. As long as you touch other people, you can temporarily change into their appearance. The power of magic can guarantee that as long as you don't get in close contact with Skrulls, no one will be able to notice your abnormality.

The most wonderful thing is that in the current situation, as long as you don't seek death, no Skrull will dare to approach you.

Why?

Daken put the orb on his hand, looked at Merlin, and asked:

Why are you so sure?

You have so many questions, son.

Merlin waved his hand and said:

Because the Skrulls are not fools. Under the circumstance of being chased and killed by two hell lords, no Skrull fool would dare to approach you, a hot potato...they can contact you through the communicator at most...

ha?

Daken stared wide-eyed, this non-mainstream young man said:

Two hell lords? Hunt me down?

Don't ask why.

Merlin put his hands behind his back, with a gentle smile on his face, he said to Daken:

In order to ensure the effect of this 'show', my friends and I will definitely be ruthless, so you'd better take care of yourself.

If you are really affected, then you will really die, but don't worry, the border of hell is under our control. If you go to hell, we will send you back to continue acting.

In order for you not to suffer more pain and suffering, I mean, Daken...you better treat it like a real life-and-death escape.

Get ready, after 30 minutes, the battle royale begins.
