Shadow of the Beautiful World

Since Merlin led the Watch team to bring the data of Hydra's internal communication database back to the Trident Building, more than a month has passed, and more than a month has been prepared for the liquidation of Hydra's remnants. moon.

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, has done almost nothing in the past month except for this matter.

Through a series of seemingly normal personnel transfers, he mobilized the marked Hydra elements to a specific department, such as the entire Trident Building, where almost every floor has mobilized Hydra molecular.

Of course, this kind of large-scale transfer cannot be hidden from some very keen guys. During this month, several senior agents have accidentally disappeared. Also very busy, they are responsible for arresting those who defected.

With the help of the Aegis Demon Hunter who is good at tracking and already has a complete combat system, few defectors can escape this deadly pursuit.

In addition to the hunting team on the bright line, Fury also used several dark lines.

Wolverine Logan, who was wandering in the East Ocean area, personally killed several defected agents of the East Ocean Branch, and Captain America Steve Rogers, who is still pretending to be his identity, also played with his old buddy Dum who was about to retire. Agent Duggan is reunited, and two hyper-executive superhuman old men roam the vast west on classic vintage motorcycles like the best hunters.

This small-scale hunting operation is just a precursor. With the internal communication program of Hydra being monitored by Icarus and the data room George of the ghost base at all times, the internal series of those Hydra elements who have a premonition that something is not good is fundamental. It can't be hidden from Fury and Merlin who have already controlled the overall situation.

After Gideon Malik, the Hydra's last head, was cut off, the Hydra elements who fell into a state of leaderless dragons were like rats gathered in a sailing wreck. All day long they feel that the end is coming.

But no matter how hard they struggle, they can't escape this net that is getting tighter and tighter.

On March 26, 2005, it was an ordinary day, and Merlin was sitting in the office of the Supreme Commander of the European Division.

This office was once used by John Gartler. Although the internal affairs agents of the headquarters of the European Division had re-arranged the office before Merlin arrived, in some details, Merlin could still find that Gartler stayed in the office. under the traces.

For example, a cigar box fixed in a drawer, such as the table next to the sofa, which is often used to play Gwent, and some very subtle burn marks on the desk, it should be Gartler Traces left when using witcher potions.

Merlin was sitting in this office, he couldn't be happier.

But fortunately, he looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and as it was getting closer to 8 o'clock in the morning, he could finally resolve the bad emotions that had no place to rest in his heart.

Countdown 5 minutes!

On Icarus' lens, in a special communication system that spans all S.H.I.E.L.D. branches throughout the world, Nick Fury sent a message.

It's a long story, but anyone who receives the message knows what it means.

Icarus.

Merlin leaned back on the chair. He reached out and took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it under his nose and sniffed it lightly. He said:

Prepare to drop 'bait'.

swish

On the mirror in front of Merlin's eyes, a miniature world map was unfolded. On the map, red icons were used to mark the various branches of S.H.I.E.L.D. The green signals marked with Roman numerals are placed one by one in each red icon.

This means that Icarus has prepared completely different evacuation signals for Hydra elements in different regions.

Snapped

A ball of flame appeared in front of Merlin's eyes, and he lit the cigarette that Merlin put near his mouth. He took a deep breath of smoke, and then slowly exhaled the smoke from his nostrils.

The entire office was silent, the entire headquarters of the European branch was also silent, and the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.

3 minutes countdown...last status report!

Nick Fury posted again, and this time, in that black comm box, catchers from all over the world responded one by one.

The East African headquarters and branch are ready!

The Central Asian Task Force is ready!

The Belarusian contingent is ready!

The Swedish laboratory branch is ready!

The Australian headquarters and branch are ready!

The South American headquarters and branches are ready!

Island Prison is ready!

The slingshot base is ready!

...

Merlin looked at the communication signals of the five arresting task forces led by him under the lens, and he said softly:

European headquarters and branches, ready!

After another few tens of seconds, Fury sent another message.

1 minute countdown, 'bait' release!

wow

The green signals marked on the lens of Icarus were released almost at the same time, and the evacuation signal translated into more than a dozen languages ​​was put into the internal communication system of Hydra by Icarus. . Malik has the highest authority in that special communication system, and this information was put into the mobile phone or computer of every Hydra element at the same time.

The highest alert! The organization's information has been exposed, and preparations have been made for the response. The evacuation location is the parking lot on the third floor of the Trident Building!

The highest alert! The organization's intelligence has been exposed, the response work has been prepared, and the evacuation location is the rooftop apron of the Paris headquarters!

The highest alert! The organization's intelligence has been exposed, preparations have been made for the response, and the evacuation location is Dock No. 3 of the Island Prison!

...

Each different location has a different evacuation point set by Icarus. For the artificial intelligence lady, it is not difficult at all to coordinate and send such information.

Merlin stood up. He walked to the window of the office, opened the blinds, and looked at the internal affairs office area of ​​the European headquarters. Under his gaze, several internal affairs agents with panicked expressions stood up from their workstations and headed towards the elevator or escape. The passage went through.

Other agents looked blankly at their companions who left suddenly, and some enthusiastic people even asked if they needed help.

However, on the wreck that was about to sink, the rats had nowhere to go.

Run, little girl, run quickly.

Merlin took down the burnt cigarette butt, which was burned to ashes in the scorching black mist. He looked at the fleeing Hydra elements, admiring their expressions of fleeing in a hurry.

Snapped

One of the fastest-running senior agents of the European branch pushed open the door leading to the rooftop apron. He rushed out panting with a gun in his hand, and looked behind him from time to time, as if there was a real hunting party. are chasing him.

However, the moment he rushed onto the tarmac, what greeted him was not the fleeing helicopter symbolizing freedom, but a whole heavily armed task force.

lay down your weapon!

The agent commander Lincoln Campbell, who followed Merlin to the European branch, looked at the Hydra elements who were gathering more and more in front of him. Behind him, dozens of black guns had already been aimed at them.

As soon as Lincoln gave the order, these guys would be beaten into a sieve.

But not everyone is willing to sit still, those guys with weapons when they run away clenched their guns to fight back, but before they pull the trigger, there will always be bullets flying from other places piercing through them body of.

Obviously, these task forces were not the only ones ambushing on the tarmac. These guys had deployed snipers in other places in advance.

One last warning!

Lincoln raised his hand, he looked at the Hydra elements in front of him, he said:

Throw away your weapon! Squat down and put your head in your hands!

Under the threat of black guns and snipers who didn't know where they were hiding, those internal affairs agents who had almost never been on the battlefield quickly succumbed in the suffocating confrontation.

To be honest, many of them are still at a loss. For many junior agents, they don't even know the existence of Hydra. Even the Hydra communication app they use is installed under the orders of their superiors. Up.

They always thought they were serving the secret department of S.H.I.E.L.D....

While the arrest work was going on on the rooftop, Merlin also pushed open the door of the office and walked into the work area.

He clapped his hands, and focused the attention of all the agents in the huge work area on him. The deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D. spoke with a kind tone and a gentle smile to those internal affairs officers who looked at him. Agents said:

I guess everyone is very confused about what happened just now. There is no need to worry. It was just an exercise for special circumstances.

Also, I know that among you, some smart guys didn't act according to the 'instructions' they just received. They hid well, which is great. It shows that they are more vigilant than others.

Merlin scanned the entire work area, his expression became indifferent, and he said:

But now game time is over...

Guys who are hiding, will you stand up by yourself, or will I pick you out one by one?

He looked at the dazed agents in front of him. After 10 seconds, no one stood up. This is normal. When facing a bad disaster, everyone has a fluke mentality.

Merlin pushed his glasses, and he said to Icarus:

Announce the results.

The next moment, the mobile phones of a dozen people hidden in the crowd rang at the same time.

Different mobile phone ringtones are mixed together, either cheerful or elegant, just like a lively chorus. However, in the current scene, these sudden mobile phone ringtones are like a reminder, making those lucky guys His complexion changed drastically.

But before they could escape or fight back, the invisible black mist took over the control of their bodies.

Okay, the 'exercise' is over.

Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He used puppetry to control the dozen or so people to leave the work area stiffly. Then he said to the others:

The rest of you, keep working.

Merlin led the guy under control into the elevator, repeating the previous steps floor by floor. When he reached the underground parking lot, there were already more than 100 people following behind him.

These smart and cunning guys escaped the bait, but unfortunately, the monitored software they installed on their mobile phones or apps exposed them. Of course, even if they felt the threat in advance, it would be useless to uninstall the software in advance .

After this round of arrests is over, there will be a second round of investigations. Those Hydra elements whose identity information has been mastered by S.H.I.E.L.D. will hardly escape the second round of investigations.

In the underground garage, in front of Merlin's eyes, more than a dozen prison cars had been prepared, and a hotel not far from the European headquarters had also prepared rooms for detention and interrogation in advance.

The arrest operation of the Island Prison was the first to end, and it had been managed by s.d.o.l.d. After Merlin was promoted to deputy director, the place where many secrets were stored was also directly managed by Merlin. There were less than 10 Hydra elements in that prison , the action was over in less than 5 minutes.

The same is true for the slingshot base and several other bases, which were basically cleared within 10 minutes.

The arrest operation at the Paris headquarters ended after 25 minutes, and the arrest operation at the Trident Building in New York ended after 37 minutes. The longest time-consuming operation was at the Australian headquarters, where it took 1 hour and 17 minutes to end the operation. .

Agent Victoria Hand, who has a good relationship with Merlin, is in charge of the operations there, but there seems to be a little confusion.

More than a dozen Hydras hijacked some agents and confronted Victoria. After the negotiations between the two parties failed, Agent Hand ordered the commandos to attack and directly killed the dozen or so Hydras who were stubbornly resisting.

What is ironic is that after the second round of investigation of the seven agents who were held hostage by the dozen or so Hydras, it was discovered that one of them was a well-disguised girl who was also one of the hidden Hydras. .

Furry, what's going on in New York?

Merlin watched the prison car leave the parking lot with the captured Hydras. He used Icarus to connect to Fury's communication. He asked:

Is everything going well?

It went well.

In the Trident Building, Fury sat in the monitoring room of the building, watching the agents on the monitoring screen who were escorted out of the building by the task force, and he said to Merlin:

The second round of inspection is going on now... Well, this building has finally become a little cleaner. It seems that even the air has become sweeter.

That's just your illusion.

Merlin says:

I will stay in Europe temporarily to wait for the results of the preliminary interrogation. In addition, the rookies of SHIELD Academy can start to be assigned. With so many people arrested, our normal work system will definitely be affected...

I know.

Fury replied:

The personnel changes in the European branch have been sent to your mailbox. Fill up the vacancies for senior agents as soon as possible. A promotion and salary increase will always stabilize people's hearts.

OK.

Merlin nodded, and he said to Fury:

Tomorrow at the latest, I will give you the summary report.

He hung up the communication, walked into the elevator, and said softly:

The broken ship of Hydra finally sank.
