Shadow of the Beautiful World

puff

Under the streetlights on the Detroit highway, Deadpool held two black sharp blades, piercing through the chest of the enemy in front of him.

He raised the two knives and lifted the pierced enemy into the air. Under the illumination of the street lights, it was like a duel stage, and the Deadpool player won the final victory.

The blood continued to drip, and gathered at Deadpool's feet to form a pool of blood.

Tonight, he avenged himself.

Looking at Ajax's blood-stained face and eyes full of pain and despair, Deadpool felt extremely refreshed. This feeling of personal revenge is 10 times better than that of Vanessa xxx! It's 100 times more refreshing than the feeling of masturbating yourself.

At this moment, in the heart of Deadpool who has had his revenge, even the pain of his girlfriend abandoning him has become very faint, just like the smoke that has disappeared, let it go with the wind.

In this scene of killing and being killed, in the bloody atmosphere, Deadpool is like a philosopher, having a new understanding of life and life.

He suddenly felt that his past life was not a tragedy, no...it wasn't.

It was a comedy, a comedy that life had given him, and he hadn't really understood it until this moment.

Ah, how funny!

How long are you going to pose for?

Merlin looked at Deadpool who was stunned there, and said:

Clean up the corpse after finishing the work, and then go to meet Jessica and Cage, and someone will send you back to where you should go.

swish

Deadpool immediately drew back his two knives, and let the cut body hit the ground. He put his hands together on his forehead, and said to Merlin in a hippie smiling voice:

Okay, sir! I'll get to work right away. Also, does this operation count as work for the Thunderbolts? Can I get an extra sentence reduction?

You think beautifully.

Merlin said to Deadpool:

Do you think this operation is as difficult as the usual tasks performed by your Thunder Special Attack Team? Besides, you only have the last two years of your sentence left. Don't worry, maybe the next operation is over and you will be free.

I heard from little sister Heiying that you recruited many of them into S.H.I.E.L.D.

Deadpool crossed his arms and said to Merlin in a dissatisfied tone:

Why don't you recruit me? Are you looking down on me? I think I am also very suitable to work in S.H.I.E.L.D. I think I will definitely become an excellent agent, yes... I am confident that I will be as good as you agents!

Uh, you are in a special situation, Wade.

Merlin considered his language and explained to Wade:

Look, everyone has something they're good at or something they're not good at, right?

Um.

Wade nodded, Merlin patted his shoulder with a smile on his face, and continued:

And I haven't known you for a day or two. I think that a free man like you must not be able to stand the constraints of the system. When you do things, you don't like to put rules on yourself, right?

Well, you know me well, Merlin.

Wade put his hips on his hips, laughed loudly and said:

Yes, I am the man who symbolizes freedom.

Um.

Merlin also nodded, and he said earnestly:

So, you see, your future is actually not in S.H.I.E.L.D., maybe, being a freelance mercenary is more suitable for you, work when you want to work, rest if you don't want to, and make money quickly, what do you think?

Well...

Wade scratched his hood, he felt that what Merlin said was quite reasonable.

So a few seconds later, he nodded, picked up the disgusting corpse on the ground, and said to Merlin:

Well, I don't need your recruitment, Merlin, let S.H.I.E.L.D. go to hell, I'm going to enjoy my life when I'm free.

Well, let's go.

Merlin watched as Deadpool smashed Ajax's chopped-up body into the back seat of the little pink electric car, which carried a transvestite in a red tights in a burst of pleasant electronic bells. The lunatic, and a corpse still dripping blood, slowly disappeared under the streetlight.

call...

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't imagine how Fury would comment on this matter if he really recruited Wade to S.H.I.E.L.D. Maybe the director would rush into his office with a knife.

Well, the mere S.H.I.E.L.D. really can't stand the toss of Deadpool.

but...

Merlin looked at the blood remaining under the street lamp, he pushed Icarus' frame, and said:

I just found something interesting in that guy's memory. Some of his customers are from the military. He has bought superpower slaves from his laboratory many times. It is said that they are serving a special experimental project. ...

What project?

Icarus asked curiously.

Super Soldier Project...

Merlin waved his hand and threw a cleaning spell on the ground under his feet. The blood stains were quickly cleaned up. Merlin said:

Of course, it's not Steve's, but the new-age super-soldier project that the Ministry of Defense has been promoting. Its real name is the 'biological cell technology enhancement project'. It seems that preparations have been started since 2001. Unfortunately, Ajax doesn't know much, but from what he's gathered, the project seems to be somewhere in the west.

swish

After Merlin finished speaking, on the lens in front of his eyes, several academic papers related to the keyword of biological cell enhancement were retrieved. After sorting and filtering according to time and relevance, only 2 papers were left.

And most importantly, these two papers are from a research team.

Merlin looked at the author of the paper, he looked at the names, he narrowed his eyes, and said softly:

Bruce Banner, Betty Ross... Interesting, check their background and family information.

Hold on.

Icarus said something, and a few seconds later, the identity information of the two people was projected onto Merlin's lens. There was nothing to say about Bruce Banner's information. This guy is very smart, with 7 doctorates and 4 master's degrees. , who was once called the smartest person in the world, has almost disappeared since he was hired as a professor of physics at Culver University in 2001.

But the background of this beautiful lady, Betty Ross, surprised Merlin a little.

Her information is protected.

Icarus says:

I followed the information circuit and entered the database of the Ministry of National Defense, only to find the specific information of this lady, her father...

Thaddeus.e. Ross, 'Thunderbolt' Ross...an old friend of Pierce's, a well-known hardliner in the Ministry of Defense Staff, who used to be in charge of District 7 and was reassigned to other projects...well, The timing was just right.

A gleam flashed in Merlin's eyes, and he said:

His daughter is also teaching at Culver University, and she published a paper with Bruce Banner. It seems that the military has also learned how to hide an important experiment in a university as a normal scientific research project.

Allow some resources to monitor this experiment, Icarus.

Merlin said to his artificial intelligence lady assistant:

According to the information in Ajax's memory, no matter what kind of research the Ministry of Defense wants to carry out, they should have entered the final step. Perhaps soon, we will be able to get a 'big news' .”

Mission list update.

Icarus responded, and she asked:

Do you need to share this news with the S.H.I.E.L.D. data intelligence monitoring center?

No, not for now.

Merlin looked at the darkening night around him, and said softly:

Wait until the 'reckoning' is over.

———————————————

A few days later, the private jet of the rich man Bruce Wayne landed at the airport in New York, which represented the end of the long-distance trip of the Merlin family and his friends.

After walking out of the airport, two taxis were waiting there. Dupont and Chas Chandler, who were wearing sunglasses and suits, waved to Merlin, indicating that their taxis could carry passengers.

Um...

Spectre and Noise, the two first-generation omnics from the S.H.I.E.L.D. combat series are as perfectly disguised as any other Cybertronian.

Merlin's sleek black Raptor pickup was also parked in a parking space not far away, and the group of people divided into three cars and quickly returned to their home. Merlin barely rested, took a shower, changed his clothes, and returned to his office in the Trident Building.

During the time he was away, Sharon was helping him with some unimportant affairs, but the really important work still had to wait for Merlin to handle it personally.

And among these tasks waiting to be processed, there is a task that has already been prepared and is only waiting for Merlin and Fury to issue action instructions.

Merlin called it reckoning.

The communication information inside the database brought back by the 'Watch' team has been deciphered and transcribed.

In Merlin's office, Agent Hill, who came on behalf of Fury, reported to Merlin the progress of the liquidation:

Currently, in SHIELD's internal system, 15,575 people have been marked, of which 12,415 have been identified, and 22 special response forces are in place, including several s.d.o.l.d. will be involved in this operation.”

Even counting the peripheral personnel, we have less than 100,000 people...

Merlin shook his head and said:

Nearly one-fifth of them are HYDRA. My God, it's a miracle we've made it this far.

Sir, your statement is not quite accurate.

Hill looked at the tablet in her hand, and she said seriously:

Not all the identified personnel are real Hydra. A large part of the low-level agents think they are serving the will of S.H.I.E.L.D. They are just being deceived... The real Hydra elements are only A handful, less than 4,000 people.

That's terrible too, Hill.

Merlin leaned back in his office chair, his hands folded on his stomach, and he said to Hill:

Once these things are exposed, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau will no longer have any credibility at all. It is certainly a kind of self-purification to find out the corrupt elements inside, but such a large-scale operation will inevitably cause those who have no problems to feel threaten.

Director Fury has undergone frequent personnel transfers recently.

Hill said:

He is doing his best to avoid the impact of this 'liquidation' operation on the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. Let me tell you that there is no need to worry about the pressure from the World Security Council, as long as we can complete the 'liquidation' in the shortest possible time, then there will not be too much external pressure.

Okay, let's get started.

Merlin rubbed his forehead and said:

Don't wait any longer, arrest those Hydras who have been identified, and then conduct a review of the remaining suspected members! No matter how careful you are, this kind of thing can't end satisfactorily... long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!

Well, okay, I will pass your opinion on to Director Fury.

Hill nodded, and she said to Merlin again:

In addition, sir, because of the sudden resignation of Agent John Gartler, the European branch lacks a strong commander. Therefore, what Director Fury means is that he will handle the operations of the North American part, and you will temporarily Acting Commander of the European Division until Operation 'Liquidation' is fully concluded.

OK.

Merlin said blankly:

Yes, I will go to Paris immediately. In addition, I need to transfer several commanders of s.d.o.l.d. to go with me. The data room of the ghost base will provide us with a temporary communication system that can ensure the safety of communication. During the liquidation , all information and instructions will be interacted through this system.”

The long confrontation will be over.

Merlin stood up, put his hands on the table, and said to Hill:

We will pull out the snake that lives and grows in our shadows with our own hands, and it will cause us pain, and we will bleed, and even become weak...but it must be done.

it's necessary.

Merlin says:

There is no need to hesitate any longer, let's begin. Let us end this long overdue war with our own hands.
