Shadow of the Beautiful World

Except for the obelisk of 45084-7, 65084-2, 87084-1, and 89084-1 were all stolen?

In the underground warehouse of Base 084, Hill frowned as he looked at the list that Merlin handed over. She asked softly:

What are these things?

follow me.

Merlin waved to Hill, and he led Hill into the warehouse. In front of their eyes, one sealed box after another was being opened, and several internal affairs agents were recording the data at the scene.

Of the more than 40 boxes that have been opened, four are empty, a testament to the seriousness of the problem.

From the period of the Strategic Science Corps to the period of S.H.I.E.L.D., agents would recycle some messy things almost every year, some of which were extremely destructive.

At present, the total number of No. 084 items owned by S.H.I.E.L.D. has exceeded 400. If the calculation is based on the terrifying probability in front of you, then without anyone noticing, S.H.I.E.L.D. has probably lost one-tenth of it. Ask for more quirky items.

45084-7 is an obelisk, you already know that.

Merlin pointed to the three empty boxes at his feet and a large empty safe next to the wall, and said to Hill:

According to the description on the list, 65084-2 is a broken red belt that can move in space.

87084-1 is the experimental product of the failed Tianma project, the prototype of the photon engine aircraft named 'Asis'.

As for 89084-1

Merlin looked at the small box at his feet, and said to Hill with a normal expression:

It's a magical object called 'Ustu's Green Bell'. It is said that Fury recovered it himself, and that thing almost killed me in 1989. Hill, among the four known Of the stolen items, the Green Bell and the Obelisk are two of the most dangerous.

It's terrible.

Hill frowned and looked at all this. She could already imagine what Fury's expression would be after knowing this bad influence.

Mr. Merlin, do you have any clues?

Hill asked:

Can you guess who took these things?

From the current point of view, the biggest suspect is undoubtedly the Ministry of National Defense.

Merlin said in a heavy tone:

I just 'asked' several directors of the base using the method of a wizard, and their suspicions can basically be ruled out. These few things should have been taken away during the period when the Ministry of National Defense took over Base 084 Yes, but we don't know now, whether those crazy soldiers have used their own brains, or they don't actually know about the theft of items.

You mean, there are other suspects behind this incident?

Hill looked at Merlin, who nodded silently.

Now is not the time to talk about this. If you really want to know, I will tell you about it after this matter is over. The premise is

Merlin looked at Hill, lowered his voice, and said softly:

You have to let me see your memory. I have to make sure that you are not one of them.

this

Hill hesitated, but after a few seconds, she seemed to have made up her mind, then raised her head, looked into Merlin's eyes, and said:

Okay! After the matter is over, I will show you my memory.

One more thing. If I remember correctly, when the Ministry of National Defense took over the 084 base, it was a female colonel named Hale who was in charge of the base's defense.

Merlin said to Hill:

That was several years ago. I need you to use SHIELD's intelligence system to help me find the current information and location of Colonel Hale. Once you find her, I will handle the rest.

Hill nodded. Before she could answer, a voice sounded behind the two:

Sir! We have a fifth stolen item!

What's the code name?

Merlin turned his head and asked, the heavily armed agent looked at the mark on the box, and he said:

41084-3!

Hill immediately picked up the list, glanced at it, and the beautiful female agent's eyes became strange. She handed the list to Merlin, and Merlin looked down, his expression became a little playful.

41084-3 Blood comparison samples of Captain America Steve Rogers before and after receiving the 'Super Soldier Project'. Those guys, what are you planning to do with this thing?

Merlin narrowed his eyes and said:

As far as I know, even in 2001, cloning technology is not advanced enough to produce a living person by relying on some DNA and a bunch of data that may have expired, right?

That is impossible.

Hill also shook his head and said:

Even the biological geniuses organized by the emperor can't do this. Unless, use magic?

magic

Merlin immediately remembered the figure of Lady Hydra, he nodded and said:

I really can't rule out this possibility. I'm going to the wizard's library to see if I can find information about it. By the way, Hill, what happened last night

Nothing, sir.

Hill subconsciously turned her face away at this moment, she felt her cheeks getting hot, she whispered:

I have to thank you for preventing me from doing more humiliating things.

I mean, drink less alcohol in the future, your drinking capacity is too bad.

Before Merlin left with the Displacement Charm, he lowered his voice and said to Hill:

If you must drink, just make sure I'm by your side, okay?

Um.

swish

Merlin's figure appeared in the mansion in New York. The girl Elsa said she was going to Las Vegas, the casino, so she didn't come back with him.

This is actually just as well.

Merlin looked around, and quietly returned to his basement. He released several magic barriers around him, and then took out a rusty bronze and green bell from his pocket.

Ustu's Green Bell

Hydra did take a lot of things from SHIELD's base, but at least the theft of this thing has nothing to do with them.

However, since Hydra is already doomed to take the blame, it would not be a big problem to carry one more.

Merlin put the ice-cold green bell exuding a scorching demonic aura in his hand. This thing was no different from the green bell he remembered. It still looked ordinary, yet dangerous inside.

It's the last one.

Merlin put the green bell in the cabinet under his test bench, and in that cabinet, the red pot, which was as unremarkable as the green bell, was quietly placed there.

Only the last part of this set of magic weapon is left.

The Silver Wheel of Nayulas.

Merlin closed the door of the cabinet in front of him, and he read the name of the last magic weapon, but compared to these two magic weapon parts that were obtained without any effort, the last silver wheel was really hard to find, even when it appeared There are very few gossips.

This is a very normal thing. After all, it is a strange thing that seals the ancient demons. As long as the sealer did a little trick, these things are destined to be difficult to find.

Merlin's ability to find two in a short period of time is already considered an explosion of his character.

But speaking of it, when it comes to matters related to demons, Merlin's luck seems to be a little weird.

But the clue to the line of the obelisk was still broken.

The aliens in the afterlife couldn't track down the location of the stolen obelisk. They just knew that the obelisk was probably in the hands of a dangerous person. The abnormal recovery of the aliens on the east coast recently should be It is related to the obelisk.

In the memory of the baroness, Merlin also found the news of another leader of Hydra, the disciple. If Merlin's guess is correct, then the obelisk may have fallen into it a few years ago. In the hands of the mysterious Hydra leader.

Are they trying to create their own alien army?

Merlin looked at the sunlight outside the window. Although two Hydra leaders had already died in his hands, as he learned more and more about Hydra, he was still a little uncertain what the lunatics were going to do. What an idea.

In the next few days, Hill continued to stay at base 084 to check the disappearance of the strange object. After 4 days, Hill's final result gave people a headache.

Of the 176 odd objects stored in Base 084, including obelisks and green bells, a total of 11 were stolen

This is definitely not good news.

At the same time, Merlin took Fury's order and went to two other places where 084 items were stored. Fortunately, in these two places that have been firmly controlled by S.H.I.E.L.D., the 084 stored here The items were not stolen, which also proved that the theft of those rare objects was absolutely inseparable from the negligence of the Ministry of National Defense.

The mess left by the group of soldiers with a strong desire for control but insufficient ability a few years ago still failed to cover up in the end.

On the afternoon of his return to New York, Fury met with General Thunderbolt Ross of the Ministry of Defense. No one knows what the two of them talked about, but I heard that General Ross, who was very tough, His complexion is very ugly.

It is said that that night, three of the stolen strange objects were sent back to Base 084, but the remaining eight strange objects were not so easy to find.

Merlin had been waiting for Hill to collect information about the General Hale who was stationed at Base 084 by the Ministry of Defense. He instinctively felt that the whereabouts of this colonel should represent the final answer to the theft case.

But Merlin waited and waited. He didn't wait for Hill's report, but another person came.

Ha, Merlin boy!

In a certain afternoon, the old Stan with a cane was carrying a handbag and stood in Merlin's living room. The old man who came suddenly looked up and down Merlin's room. He said to Merlin:

Where you live, uh, it's really simple. I finally understand why you can't find a girlfriend. You have to spend money, Merlin. Girls are very realistic in this era. You have to throw money to capture them. Heart.

The old man sat on the sofa and gave the opportunity to Merlin who was sitting next to him:

In my era, you needed to invite girls to watch movies and have a big meal. In this era, you spend more and buy some gifts.

Oh, Stan! Please.

Merlin looked at the chattering old man in front of him with a headache, and said in a low tone:

I'm really busy right now, and I don't have time to discuss chasing girls with you. What are you holding?

This one.

Old Stan waved the book in his hand with a smile. He handed the book to Merlin. The latter took it in his hand and found that it was a comic book. On the cover was a blond woman whose painting style was very similar to that of Carol. The scene of fighting the fleet in the stars.

This is the comic book I promised you. It was just released today. This is the first one! I also signed my name on the title page.

Captain Marvel. The Year of the Stars

Merlin read out the cover title of this comic, he looked at Old Stan unexpectedly, and said:

Are you going to draw a series?

More than that, I plan to draw a new system!

The old man beamed and said:

Some film companies have come to me to talk about film adaptations. They like this system very much. To be honest, I am also looking forward to it. Oh, yes, and this!

Stan pulls from his pocket a folded sheet of paper that appears to have been ripped from some notebook.

Merlin took care of the paper and spread it out in his hands, and found that there were several phone numbers on it, many of which were crossed out with a brush, or marked with asterisks, and only one number was not marked.

This, I found it in the Veteran's Club.

Old Stan lit his cigar and said to Merlin:

This should be the contact information that mysterious old Steve left when he attended the banquet that night. I tried to call, but it was always transferred to voicemail. I think since it is not a wrong number, it means It seems that it can be dialed, it is nothing more than a few more attempts.

Merlin looked at the number in his hand, and after a moment, he said to Stan:

Thanks, Stan, that number means a lot to me and I really want to thank you.

No, I volunteered to help you, after all you helped me too.

Old Stan waved his hand, and he said to Merlin:

I really want to help, just buy a few more tickets after the movie is shot

While talking, Stan took out the paper and pen, looked at Merlin, and urged:

Let's tell a few more stories, Merlin. I think the stories you've experienced are all great. It's still the old rule, pick something you can tell and tell me.

Uh ok, let me think about it. Speaking of which, Stan, have you ever heard of a life in this world called 'Alien'?
