Shadow of the Beautiful World

Yo, I thought the busy Director Merlin had forgotten us old friends.

In the armory warehouse of the ghost base, Agent Natasha Romanov, wearing a strange black helmet with tactical goggles like spider compound eyes and leaning on a black sniper rifle, looked at Merlin who came out of the shadows. He whistled a little frivolously, and said to Agent Patton who was assembling a tactical bow beside him:

How long has he not been with us? Two years? Three years? Or longer?

He's the chief now.

Agent Patton replied solemnly:

Which bureau chief have you ever met who wants to charge forward? I heard that Chief Merlin is used to sitting in an office, and he may have grown fat.

Wow, you two, really are

Merlin walked up to the two old friends, he glanced at Natasha, then at Barton, and said:

I've heard that the two of you have now been upgraded to the chief and second combat master of S.H.I.E.L.D. Smash and Starscream are controlled by you, right? The base of a group of rebels in the Middle East was attacked a few days ago. It was declared over in 20 minutes, who of you did it?

This is a secret, Director Merlin.

Natasha flicked her long hair, she stretched out her hand, put it next to her mouth, and made a silent movement, she said:

Without permission, I can't tell you.

All right.

Merlin didn't ask any more questions. Although he was the deputy director, he also had his own scope of authority. He couldn't control the field department where Natasha and Barton were.

Speaking of which, I've been forgetting one thing before.

Merlin saw the black tactical bow in Barton's hand, and he suddenly remembered something.

He gestured to Barton and Natasha, signaling them to wait a moment, and then quickly walked out of the armory. A few minutes later, Merlin returned to his friend with a box.

Clint, I still remember, in 1994, I ruined a good knife for you.

Merlin handed the box in his hand to Button, and he said:

So, this thing belongs to you.

He looked at Natasha beside him again, and he shrugged:

As for you, Natasha, I have no present for you.

Tch, stingy man.

Agent Natasha pouted, but she was quickly attracted by Agent Button's gift.

After Barton opened the box, he found a golden war bow inside, which should be made of some kind of metal. There were complicated and cumbersome patterns on the bow, and a picture of a coquettish woman was shaped on the handle. The face makes this bow look very evil.

Old Bow

Barton looked at the gift Merlin gave him with some dumbfounding. He raised his head and said to Merlin:

I'm not used to this kind of bow. It's too heavy, and its range is not as good as a tactical bow. I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't carry this 'work of art' on the battlefield.

No no no.

Merlin waved his hands mysteriously. He pulled Natasha back a few steps and said to Button:

Clint, I'm a wizard. You have to believe that the gifts of wizards are not as simple as they seem on the surface. As for whether they fit your hand or not, you will know after a while. Oh, yes, a friendly reminder, it is sealed It's been around for 2,000 years, so it's not very tempered, and you have to be careful with it.

2000?

Barton picked up the golden, gorgeous and somewhat excessively ancient bow, and shook it in his hand. Well, the balance is pretty perfect.

He took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back and put it on the bowstring. He looked back at Merlin and said:

Is it so exaggerated? Are these cultural relics?

swish

The golden war bow was pulled away the next moment, and Agent Patton's expression changed immediately.

The moment he pulled the bowstring, he finally knew what Merlin meant when he said that the bow had a bad temper. The bowstring seemed to have a life of its own, preventing Barton from pulling it away. Barton even had auditory hallucinations.

It's as if a vicious woman is screaming in his ear, which makes the eardrums rise

swish

A turquoise light shot out. Under Natasha's surprised gaze, Barton's arrow rarely missed. The arrow hit the ammunition box in the armory warehouse. When the arrow burst, the ammunition The box is surrounded by a layer of gray rock at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What's with that voice?

Barton looked at the golden war bow in his hand, and he looked back at Merlin, who spread his hands and said:

This thing is called the Gorgon Battle Bow, and some people call it the Petrification Bow. It is a mythical thing, and the bow in your hand is sealed with the soul of a Gorgon, which was chopped off by Perseus. A legendary creature with a head.

Every arrow shot is endowed with petrified magic, but it's hard to control, unruly, you know what I mean? Clint, you want to shoot real magic arrows, and get the first The identity of evil spirits I heard people say that after you completely control it, you can even shoot the arrow of the soul, and the soul in the bow will fight for you, of course, this is just a legend.

Merlin pursed his lips, and said:

Maybe in the future, you can shoot arrows wrapped in the power of monsters. It's not that powerful, but it's definitely cool.

Well, it's really powerful when you think about it.

Natasha put her hand on Merlin's shoulder, and she said to Merlin:

Is there really no gift from me? My lord, I want a gift like that too

She swayed back and forth like a little girl, and said to Merlin:

Give me one too.

Uh, next time, next time

Merlin couldn't bear Natasha's attitude when she deliberately acted cute, and a woman with a perfect body was sticking to him, which made him a little uncomfortable. He took a step back calmly. On the one hand, he had already promised Elsa not to flirt with women. What's worse, he was no match for Elsa now.

The other team members are here, be more serious.

Merlin said something to Natasha, the goblin-like Black Widow changed back to the image of the indifferent and powerful female evil star in almost a second, she and Barton stood behind Merlin on the left and right, in front of their eyes, almost A heavily armed guy is walking into the warehouse under the leadership of S.D. Senior Agent Commander McGregor.

swish

McCree stopped in front of Merlin, put his two fingers together on his forehead, and gave Merlin a military salute in the style of American soldiers. He said:

Sir, the 'Watch' team has assembled, please issue an order!

Um.

Merlin nodded to McCree. He looked behind McCree. There was a soldier with short white hair, wearing a black combat uniform, carrying a pulse gun, wearing red tactical goggles, and carrying two swords. He was a dress change So far, the best agent in the plan is Jack Morrison, codenamed 76.

The other guy standing next to Morrison was weirdly dressed.

He wears a black, leather-like armor with a white skull mask and a long black cloak with Winston-designed jet boots on the legs, chest, waist and legs They all wear full-loaded ammunition belts and two black Hellfire shotguns around their waists.

The most peculiar thing is that when this guy walks in the shadows, there is always a looming black mist floating around his body.

It looks very weird.

Through the white skull mask, Merlin could feel a pair of vigilant eyes staring at him. There was a hint of curiosity in those eyes, and a hint of eagerness to try. He had an aura like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, as if he couldn't wait. Going into the fight.

Well, this Reaper is very aggressive.

Along with McRae, there is also Miss Heiying, a data information expert of the Thunder Special Attack Team, who is already in the state of being recruited.

After several missions with Thunderbolt, Sombra only has a few years left in his sentence, and George plans to place this talented young hacker in the data lab of Ghost Base.

Maybe because she knew that her prison life was coming to an end, this lady hacker was a little solid again. She was carrying a computer bag, a pulse pistol in her waist, stylish sunglasses on her face, and chewing gum in her mouth. A head of dyed purple hair fluttered back and forth.

Sir, when I came, the lunatic Deadpool asked me to ask you, when will you give him another mission?

Sombra said to Merlin:

He said he couldn't wait to get out of prison and enjoy his new life.

Wade

Merlin rubbed his chin, he said:

Don't worry about him, he will be busy soon, and when he is done, his sentence will almost be over. Speaking of which, Dr. Moira, why did you come with me? And what is the armor on your body? What's going on? If I remember correctly, this should be the 'Valkyrie' armor that Winston is still developing, right?

Merlin looked at the last person.

Dr. Moira O'Delaine.

She shouldn't be here, but now, this indifferent doctor is wearing the Valkyrie armor that Merlin has seen once, and ten mechanical floating wings are flying behind her. , she still holds the metal cane that can launch nano-robots to treat the wounded in her hand, and there is a head ring-shaped information collector connected in parallel with the armor on her head.

This set of equipment made her look like a mechanical version of an angel, but combined with her indifferent expression of always treating people as test subjects, there was a serious conflict in temperament.

Facing Merlin's inquiry, Moira said blankly:

I don't want to come either, but the gorilla entrusted me to help it test the performance of the 'Valkyrie' medical soldier's armor. I think, since it is a weapon prepared for future wars, the best test site should be on the battlefield superior.

All right.

Merlin originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, taking advantage of this opportunity to do an equipment test together is actually not a problem.

Dr. Moira is not the kind of character who needs protection from others. This biologist with a passion for genetic engineering has genetically modified herself so that she can manipulate weird biochemical energies.

In theory, Dr. Moira is also a metahuman, but she is often in the laboratory, so it is easy for others to ignore this.

soldiers!

Merlin stood in the armory warehouse, and he said to the agents in front of him:

You have received the mission briefing. Tonight we will carry out a targeted clearing operation. You followed Agent Natasha and Patton into a fortress occupied by terrorists. Your task is very simple. Clear the garrison there, clear the The leader of the terrorists.

Merlin held out his hand, and the photo of Dr. Lister of Hydra appeared in front of the agents in the form of projection.

He looked at the shadow again, and said:

Sombra, you have an extra mission. I need you to bring back all the data in the database of that fortress. If you complete this mission, your sentence will end, understand?

Sombra made an OK gesture to Merlin.

very good.

Merlin took out his pocket watch to check the time, and he said to everyone in front of him:

I will serve as your rear support for this operation, but I think that you may not need support. After all, you are the elite of the elite, and what you represent is the future war. Now, let's start the action.

With Merlin's order, Leprechaun agent Dobby and the three house goblin agents that he had recruited through great pains jumped out of the space. They stretched out their hands and stuck them on the agents' calves, and at the same time launched the transfer spell, Bring agents from North America to the preset battlefield in Eastern Europe in an instant.

Merlin turned around, stretched out his hands to Natasha and Barton, and then cast the transfer spell as well. The next moment, they appeared in the mountains outside the small city of Sokovia in Eastern Europe.

From where they were standing, looking to the east, they could still vaguely see the small city in the dark, lit up with lights, which looked very warm.

It's back to where we fought.

Natasha flicked her hair, she said to Merlin and Button:

That's where you caught me back then, when Merlin was still a rookie.

However, this country has not only not improved over the years, but the situation has become worse and worse.

Merlin shook his head:

It can't save Cortana, you take 76, McCree and Reaper attack head-on, Clint escorts the shadow to infiltrate the castle, Moira will cruise at low altitude to support you, if everything goes well, after we are done, Still have a cup of coffee in Sokovia.

Corna?

Natasha looked at Merlin with a strange expression, and she said:

At your age and mine, do you think it's appropriate for you to call me that?

You must have a nickname. I can't just call you Black Widow. That nickname always feels weird.

Merlin pushed the glasses, and Icarus projected the topographic map of the ancient castle hundreds of meters away on the ridge in front of him on the lens. Through night vision and thermal imaging, the living organisms in the castle were also locked one by one.

Merlin shared the information with the team members who were already in action, and at the same time made a tactical gesture to Moira who was flying the Valkyrie armor into the air.

He said:

Okay, let's go, everyone.

For the sake of other souls who deserve to live in peace, the scum entrenched here must be wiped out!
