Shadow of the Beautiful World

Ah, this is x-23!

At the entrance of the swamp, more than 20 minutes later, Agent Commander McCree appeared in front of Merlin with the Watch team and the Thunderbolt team under the distorted light of the transfer spell.

Appearing with them, there are also those fake X-Men who have already rested. After being released from the explosive collar, they are also willing to join this annihilation operation. Of course, facing Merlin's request, they are not No right to refuse.

When she saw the little girl standing hand in hand with Merlin at the entrance of the swamp, the impostor Storm immediately took a step back in fright. The young girl named Sophie looked at the girl next to Merlin in fear, and she said to Merlin :

Where did you find her? Hasn't she been destroyed?

swish

Probably the counterfeit Storm Girl broke the little girl's code name, and the sharp steel claws jumped out of the girl's fist immediately. She stared at Sophie and was about to rush out to kill her, but was forced to stay where she was by Merlin.

What x-23! She has a name.

Merlin glared at the terrified fake Storm, and said:

Her name is Laura, don't use that code name anymore!

Yes, yes, I was wrong.

The fake Storm is very afraid of Merlin, especially when they are being guarded by Merlin's heavily armed subordinates.

The young girl bowed her head cowardly to admit her mistake, and then waved to the little girl Laura, wanting to show kindness, but Laura, who was picked up by Merlin, ignored her at all.

This girl, well, Icarus has checked her physical condition, and it seems that she has gone through a terrible experiment, which caused the child to be indifferent to everything, like a preset killing machine.

Those bastards who transformed the New Mutants probably did the same with her.

In short, after paying three apples, two cans of Coke, and being pierced through the heart by steel claws 15 times, Merlin barely eliminated the girl's hostility. He searched the child's memory, but she seemed to have been cleared of memory.

In those scattered memory fragments, Merlin only saw the child undergoing cruel experiments and various killing training scenes. He only knew that this girl was called Laura, and in that home, her code name was x-23 ,, Other than that, he knew nothing about this girl's past.

Still, he and Laura had come to an agreement.

Well, a mutual aid agreement.

She'd take Merlin to find the bastards who made the New Mutants, and Merlin would take care of them and get Laura's few friends who were still there.

Sir, the demon hunter team and the action team have been assembled. They are led by Chief Coulson, and they are ready for airborne operations at any time.

Agent McCree in combat uniform said to Merlin:

We are also ready to enter the operation, but the question is, where is our target?

Behind, in the swamp.

Merlin pointed behind him, and he said:

It's a building protected by an optical concealment device. I went to see it just now. Their defense facilities are quite complete, so you need to infiltrate from another direction, and then Coulson will take most of them for airborne combat. De, don't touch her!

Merlin's reminder was still a step late.

Little Cheap Deadpool, the well-known death-killer of Thunderbolt, always couldn't control his hands. When Merlin and McCree were talking, he stretched out his hands, trying to touch Laura's hair who was standing there.

puff

Laura kicked Wade's leg fiercely and knocked him to the ground. She threw herself on Wade's body, piercing Wade's chest with four sharp steel claws, and piercing out from his back. The cheap Deadpool was completely pierced within a second.

Bright red blood was spilled everywhere.

Wow.

The commander of the Thunder Special Attack Team, Kerry Yong. Rogge was spattered with blood, he took a step back with disgust on his face, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on his face, he looked at the fierce girl, he turned his head to the side Holding a gun, Widowmaker with an indifferent face said:

I've been on Earth for more than ten years, but I still can't get used to the fact that kids on your Earth are so fierce?

Well, generally speaking, they don't fight like that.

Junkrat Jamieson next to Yon Roger took a step back, this guy beat his mechanical leg, and said in a strange tone:

But this kid probably doesn't fall into the 'average' category.

Hey, it hurts, asshole.

Wade, with his heart pierced, screamed:

Who will help me, ah, this cute girl is so scary, I'm going to be scared to death, drive her away, hell! Drive her away!

Okay, Laura, don't be like the bastard.

Merlin stepped forward and lifted the little girl from Deadpool. He took out a handkerchief and helped Laura wipe the blood on her face. He said to Laura:

We just made a deal, right? You take me to that place, and then I help you rescue your friend. Leave that bastard alone, we should go.

Um.

Laura nodded, and she looked back at Deadpool who was being lifted from the ground by Roadhog, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

It's really weird today.

Meet two unkillable guys in a row

Okay, follow Laura.

Seeing Laura stepping into the swamp, Merlin waved his hand and said to the people behind him:

Everyone pay attention to concealment, especially you, Wade, you have the last two years of your sentence left, and you will be free with a few more missions, but if something goes wrong again, you are ready to sit in prison for the rest of your life.

The environment of this swamp is very bad, and there are dark pits that can easily bury a person everywhere, but it is precisely because of this harsh environment that Laura escaped from that home here to hide from other people. The hunt for test subjects.

This child is very adaptable to the environment, and she is also very familiar with this swamp, just like her own back garden.

She led Merlin and his party to walk quickly in the swamp, bypassing one dangerous area after another. After ten minutes, they came to a pool emitting a foul smell.

right here.

Merlin pointed to the pool and said to the people behind him:

Go down from here, there is an underground sewage outlet, that is where Laura escaped from at that time, McCree, you take them down here, and then wait for my signal, remember to control the underground of that building immediately 2-3 floors, there is a dormitory area, and many children are imprisoned there.

There are a few of you!

Merlin turned his head to look at the fake X-Men who were following behind the watch team and Thunderbolt. He held Laura's hand and said to them:

I know that you are forced to become mutants, but I think you should also know the story of the X-Men, they defend their people, fight crime and evil, they know they are doing the right thing, so they have nothing to do fear.

I don't expect you fakes to become like them overnight, but I hope you don't live up to the power you've been given!

Merlin said to the impostors:

You have already got the ticket to the extraordinary world, so use it well. You don't need to be the shadow of others all your life, you can also have your own story, and now is the moment of your choice.

Either have the courage to do good things, or pretend that all the pain you have seen and experienced does not exist, and find a corner to bury your head in.

In short, do what a superhero should do.

Merlin didn't say much to these young people, he nodded to McCree, then turned and left with Laura.

Hey Merlin, won't you come with us?

Deadpool stood by the pool, moving his body, as if in a diving competition, and turned his head to ask:

Where are you and that fierce little girl going?

Us.

Merlin glanced down at Laura, he smiled at the nervous little girl, and said to Wade without looking back:

We're going to 'knock', Laura is going home and the family should come out to greet her.

This is the most basic courtesy

—

Sorry I read your memory, Laura.

Merlin took Laura's hand, and two people, one big and one small, walked in the dark swamp. It was midnight at this time, and the swamp was very quiet, only the croaking of frogs echoing from time to time, as well as those in the dark. Weird voice, um, pretty penetrating.

As Merlin walked forward, he said to the silent Laura:

I know it's hard, but you've stabbed me a few times too, so we're even.

Laura didn't speak, she quietly looked at the piece of land covered by vines in front of her, where home was located, the advanced optical cloaking device could ensure that the building would not be found, in fact, under normal circumstances , and no one would go so deep in this inaccessible place.

The closer she got there, the more nervous Laura became.

She couldn't forget everything she suffered there, being tied up on the experimental table, injected with genetic serum, tortured, infused with Adamantium alloy, and trained to kill.

She watched the children she grew up with disappear one by one. At first, she didn't know where the children went. The villains who took care of them lied to them that the children were sent home.

Laura had looked forward to being sent home, even though she hadn't seen her parents since she was born.

But once, Laura accidentally saw the experimental subjects who unfortunately died in the experiment being sent underground, she sneaked in, and as a result, she saw those friends who were sent home in the morgue.

Unfortunately, not every child who receives the x gene can successfully mutate, and not every child is as lucky as Laura and those fake X-Men.

Although, even the life after successful mutation is far from being happy.

Laura will never forget that night, how she carried out her first hunt, and the faces of those friends who died unfortunately kept appearing in her mind, and an anger rising from her heart made her unable to Continue to live in despicable lies.

She slipped out of the dormitory, as if in training, and killed the guys who were in charge of experimenting on the children one by one on their beds.

That's very simple. For mutants who have been raised as killers since childhood, killing people is really a very simple matter.

That night, the whole home fell into chaos because of Laura's hunting.

what's on your mind?

Merlin's sudden question interrupted Laura's memory. She raised her head, pursed her lips, and looked at Merlin, still silent as before.

I get the feeling that you're thinking about something not so pleasant.

Merlin reached out and stroked Laura's hair. He said:

I can probably guess what you are thinking. I have seen how you left that magic cave. It is not easy to come back to face it. I guess your heart is full of anger and you want to take every A man who hurts your friend is shredded.

Merlin smiled. He suddenly stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of Laura's nose. This action made the little girl subconsciously take a step back.

Merlin looked into those big black eyes, and he said to Laura:

But there's no need, Laura, there's no need to let pain and anger define you and your past. Well, you may not understand, but it's okay. Listen to me, killing people is not a glorious thing in the outside world. You Every time you decapitate a person, you will strip away a trace of your humanity, and it will make you more unscrupulous next time.

Also, in many cases, it's not fair or worthwhile to exchange one life for another. The reason why I brought you back here, Laura, is that I hope to show you another way.

I like a tough little girl like you. You remind me of my sister. I don't want to see you go forward alone in the dark, and finally embark on a road of no return. You should be with the two in my family. Like a stupid girl, enjoy the life you just started, instead of carrying these heavy and dark things.

Merlin shot Laura, and he said:

I will let you see that this world does not belong to the despicable. There are always people serving the light, and evil is like shadows. All it takes is a gleam of fire to make them disappear.

They hope to shape you according to their evil will, but you are still alive, and you can choose another life, which is the best revenge for them.

That's enough, we'll help you with the rest

Hold my hand tight, girl.

Merlin urged, Laura looked at Merlin's outstretched hand, she hesitated, she looked at Merlin, as if she wanted to see Merlin's heart through these eyes, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

Few people in this world can do it.

So, in the end, the little girl decided to follow her instinct.

She stretched out her hand to hold Merlin's hand, and Merlin smiled at her, the scorching flames of hell danced on Merlin's other arm, like a flaming banner, waving between Merlin's hands, A series of terrifying lava fireballs roared and hit the hidden building in front of them.

The next moment, a large silver-gray building appeared in front of Merlin and Laura.

Amidst the ear-piercing siren, Merlin stretched out his hand and pulled out the Zhenjin long sword from the flames. He lowered his head and said to the little girl who was looking at him.

Put away your claw, you won't need it today.

Come on, Laura.

Let's go home.
