Shadow of the Beautiful World

What's wrong?

In Fury's office, the director, who was discussing the countermeasures with Merlin, watched Merlin answer a call on his mobile phone, and then he saw Merlin's expression become weird.

The Chief Secretary asked:

What happened?

Well, something unexpected, and probably related to the explosion of the tinder.

Merlin looked at the holographic projection of the world map that was beating on the computer screen in front of him. There were many detected energy singularities all over it. It looked like a sieve, and it would definitely make people with trypophobia scream and jump away.

With the help of the black technology obtained by S.H.I.E.L.D. over the years, things like holographic projections are already equipped in the offices and conference rooms of every high-level commander.

These are the remnants of the fire energy.

Merlin frowned, looking at the spinning projection in front of him, he said:

I don't rule out that Megatron may have taken away a batch of fire fragments, but even if only these are left, it is enough for us to have a headache. It is likely to be expressed in various supernatural events, and we don't rule out There may be more robots that can think and move in the world.

You just told me that before Mega was seriously injured and fled, he yelled to turn Earth into a second Cybertron?

Fury thumped his head hard, and he said:

Will these energies completely change the shape of our earth?

Merlin didn't answer. He stood up, walked to the window, glanced out, and after a few seconds, he turned back to Fury and said:

None of those big bosses showed up, which means that the problem is not so serious, but if the fire energy gathers in the same area, maybe it is possible...

And there's a problem.

Merlin put his hands in his pockets and said:

The news I got before said that the source of the fire seed is what Autobots and Decepticons want to get. It is said that the Megatron has been missing for hundreds of years because of it, but that guy can destroy the fire seed with his own hands. I think this It may explain the misunderstanding of our thinking all the time.

Tinder is important and precious, but it...

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a heavy tone:

Probably not irreplaceable. I make a worst guess, maybe in a corner of our earth, there is a second fire, otherwise, this cannot explain why Megatron is in a dilemma, Choosing to destroy Tinder instead of trying to compromise with us...it is a leader, and it is impossible for a leader not to know the art of compromise.

So, what is the earth we live on?

Fury laughed a few times, and said:

A treasure trove in the eyes of an alien?

Well... I can't answer that question.

Merlin took off his glasses regretfully, rubbed them in his hands, and said softly:

Calculating the time, the reinforcements of the Autobots may be coming soon, maybe today, or tomorrow, after they arrive, let them be the vanguard, go to the Decepticon gathering place in East Africa... and then kill all those bastards !

Aren't you going?

Fury asked:

Just leave the matter to the Autobots?

Of course I will, but I have to deal with emergencies first.

Merlin says:

There's a non-partisan robot running rampant over there in Harlem right now, I've got to go check it out.

He rubbed the corners of his brows, and said:

Maybe, more than one.

———————————————

swish

Merlin's figure came to the sky above Harlem in the distorted light, and the situation was worse than he imagined.

A robot that looks like an enhanced Bumblebee is standing on the streets of Harlem, with the corpses of tattooed jerks at its feet, and a huge fist on the dilapidated building next to it print.

Worst of all, this scene has attracted the attention and onlookers of many pedestrians.

Those guys who watched the excitement and were not afraid of big things stood on the street, taking pictures with their mobile phones, and there were noisy voices and discussions, which even attracted some reporters.

Icarus, block the network signal in the block, delete the Internet... alas...

Merlin pushed his glasses habitually, but no artificial intelligence was responding to him anymore, which made Merlin's mood worse.

He drew his wand from his waist and threw a cloud of magical energy into the air, creating a large, dazzling flash of light that drew the attention of everyone below to him.

swish

A dazzling white light jumped out from the top of Merlin's wand, and a large-scale Oblivion Curse was thrown on the onlookers in front of them. Most of the people's movements and expressions became sluggish, and some reacted slower, or were clever ghosts. They were lucky to escape the Oblivion Curse, but that's okay too.

On the street at the end of Merlin's line of sight, a black m.i.b truck had already parked there. Agent J was jumping out of the truck. He waved to Merlin, indicating that he would accept the next job.

Merlin landed on the ground, and he looked at the robot in front of him who maintained a defensive posture, with undisguised vigilance and bewilderment beating on his mechanical face, and Dupont who was trapped in the cockpit of the robot's belly.

The Indian boy seemed to have recovered from his panic. He was turning his head from side to side curiously in the cockpit, as if looking at the world in front of him from a higher perspective.

When he saw Merlin, this guy actually waved his hand and smiled at Merlin.

Hmm...he seems to be quite resilient.

Where are you going?

Merlin looked at the robot in front of him, thinking about how to communicate with it after losing Icarus.

He didn't even look around, but following his question, Jessica Jones, who was sneaking about to escape, stood obediently where she was.

The girl also grabbed the strong black man next to her who was also about to run away. The clothes on the guy's body were already torn by bullets, but there was no scar on his skin.

There is no doubt that this guy is also a supernatural person, but it is not clear whether he is a mutant, a different person, or a modified person.

Why do you always encounter these strange things, Jessica.

Merlin asked softly:

Vampires, purple men, robots... Are you born with trouble?

I don't want to either.

Jessica Jones, who was very independent in front of outsiders, was as obedient as a little sheep in front of Merlin. She said in an unlovely tone:

Maybe I'm really unlucky, and I can encounter unexpected situations in any case I pick up.

Jessica had seen with her own eyes how Merlin easily burned the purple man who terrified her to ashes, so seeing Merlin's arrival, she had no intention of running away, but the divine man around her used a mixed He looked at Merlin with disgust and hostility. Maybe it was the temperament of a public official in Merlin that he didn't like very much.

Stay there obediently, we'll talk about you and your new friend later.

Merlin waved his finger, and walked towards the 3-meter-tall taxi robot in front of him. As he moved forward, the robot clenched its fists. Even through a layer of steel shell, Merlin could feel the mechanical life. tension.

This is normal.

It has just been born, like a blank baby.

What a hassle.

Merlin complained in a low voice, then took out his mobile phone, and made a call to the ghost base in a strange way. For a long time in the past, Icarus was responsible for such matters as communication.

George, send me a program that can convert Cybertronian, and send it to the phone.

Merlin said to the phone:

ASAP.

Huh?

George on the phone asked suspiciously:

Why use a mobile phone? Icarus should have a complete translation module.

Icarus...ruined.

Merlin says:

She was radiated by the Cybertronian fire source energy at close range. I tried to restart it just now, but there was no response at all.

you!

There was a hint of anger in George's voice:

That's my most proud invention, Merlin, you really...forget it, come back sometime and let me see if there is any possibility of repairing it. And, the translation program you want has already been sent.

Merlin hung up the phone, picked up the phone, and found that there was an app with George's photo on the screen. He opened the app, put the phone to his mouth, and shouted to the robot in front of him:

Don't worry, I'm here to help you!

@@!%￥%￥@!#%@!

His voice was synchronously converted into Cybertronian, and the taxi robot in front of him was activated by the fragments of Tinder. It is theoretically considered a Cybertronian, and it must understand Cybertronian.

As Merlin expected, after hearing the comfort in Cybertron, the robot responded immediately.

!@%￥!%￥@%? (Who are you?)

It stared at Merlin, the hostility disappeared a lot, and it asked:

%￥%￥@!%￥% (Why are they attacking me and my knight?)

They're a bunch of bad guys, and there's no reason for bad guys to hurt good people, so don't worry about it.

Merlin explained:

But you should be quiet now, boy, and turn back into car form! And, Dupont is your knight? Why did you choose him? He's so weak...

Crack, click, click

Newborn Cybertronians are very simple, and their logical thinking is not as complicated as that of Bumblebee and Flying Over the Mountain. After seeing that Merlin can speak Cybertronian, the Taxibot instinctively followed Merlin's advice. instruct.

In the operation of countless mechanical modules and gears, it quickly changed back to the ordinary taxi form before, and then replied to Merlin with a car speaker:

Because I am the property of Mr. Dupont...he has absolute control over me, and therefore he is my knight...

Oh, poor boy.

Merlin shook his head, patted the hood of the taxi, and said:

You really sold yourself too cheaply... But then again, with Dupont's weird luck, I'm not surprised by this result.

You guys, get in the car!

Merlin turned his head and pointed to the taxi in front of Jessica and the power man, he said:

Come with me.

After finishing speaking, he opened the car door and sat on the co-pilot. Beside him, Dupont touched the steering wheel curiously. Although the car was exactly the same as before, even if Dupont had never entered the world of superheroes, He also knew that after today's incident, the value of his car would soar.

This made Du Pengde feel a strange sense of pride in addition to being frightened.

Hehe, what is driving a sports car or a luxury car?

Brother drives a robot!

You follow me to the Trident headquarters, Dupont.

Merlin said to the lucky driver brother:

Starting today, you will change jobs...

Can I refuse?

Du Pont asked pitifully, although he didn't know what Merlin did, but judging from the pomp of Merlin's every appearance, it was beyond what he, a little taxi driver, could have imagined.

What do you say?

Merlin glanced at Dubender, and he said:

Stop talking nonsense, drive, go to Trident headquarters...wait!

The moment Dupont's car started, Merlin's eyes suddenly saw another taxi parked on the street, its shape was exactly the same as Dupont's car.

It was obviously an ordinary taxi, but it brought a strange feeling to Merlin.

That's Chas' car!

Dupont said to Merlin:

Chas might still be in the car...

You wait here.

Merlin opened the car door and took out a hexagonal instrument from his pocket. It was the Cybertron data signal detector he had given to Fury before. When he was approaching Chas Chandler's taxi, he The humming sound from the detector in his hand also intensified.

Okay.

Merlin stood in front of the car a little speechless. He looked at Chas Chandler, who was unconscious in the driver's seat, and said:

The two of you are really good friends. You make money together, listen to music together, and now you even encounter weird things together...

boom

Merlin put the phone by his mouth and slapped the hood of the car. He said:

￥￥@%%%!￥@? (How long are you going to hide?)

￥@%...%￥%￥#%(? (I'm scared...can you stop hitting my boobs?)

The headlights of Chas' car flickered for a moment, and then answered in a hoarse, curt, frightened voice.

This made Merlin's eyes widen, and he immediately withdrew his hand.

How come it's still a female... er, female robot?
