Shadow of the Beautiful World

Oh, it's a failure.

In a hidden room in the huge silver-gray building in the swamp, a guy sitting on a chair was sighing and looking at the monitor in front of him.

On the screen of the monitor, Merlin is holding Laura's hand, and is strolling closer to the building, regardless of the guards holding weapons, or the newly created mutants, whether it is flying bullets, Or all kinds of weird abilities, none of which can harm the intruders at all.

Even without using the super-level magic of the ancient body, Merlin's current power cannot be underestimated. With his manipulation of magic power, the magic shield around him can easily resist the shooting of large-caliber bullets.

After all, he is already a great wizard who has mastered two super-level magics, so he still needs to have some face-to-face.

As for the guy sitting on the chair, he was dressed in a strange way, wearing a strange dark red robe, just like the vampire lord in medieval legends, but he was not a vampire.

He has flowing black hair, a pale face with a strange diamond-shaped logo on his forehead, and he wears coquettish, lace-trimmed gloves. He leans back in his chair and looks at Merlin on the screen. , and those agents who have rushed into the building from the underground sewage outlet.

He shook his head and said softly:

It's just a little short of the last... Sigh, I'm still too anxious, but who would know that Ms. Lingdie still has such a past with the troublesome Mr. Merlin?

The world is making fun of people.

The guy stood up from the chair, and he looked behind him. There, there was a working instrument, like a treatment chamber.

And in that cylindrical treatment cabin, there was a naked girl lying there, that was a clone, and her face was exactly the same as Grey Jean in X-Men.

My dear Mademoiselle Madeleine.

This weird guy looked at the clone in the experimental cabin with his hands behind his back, and he said softly:

It seems that we can only see each other later, but it doesn't matter, I have collected enough gene fragments, I will definitely be able to make a perfect you, and you, you will also fulfill my expectations.

He stretched out his hand, and a mass of energy flames landed on the running experimental cabin, enveloping the experimental cabin in an instant, the blazing flames illuminated the face of this mysterious guy, and he narrowed his eyes , says:

You and your future husband, your children, will give me hope... the hope of ending the apocalypse once and for all.

That won't be long...

After burning the clone that was about to be completed, the guy looked back at Merlin on the monitor screen, curled his lips, and said disdainfully:

As for you, stupid, stubborn enforcers of justice, hehe, enjoy your victory.

I will save the world eventually, whether you want it or not.

hum

In the beating of the transmitted light, this guy disappeared in place strangely. After he disappeared, this secret room also collapsed, as if it had been hit by the most violent explosion.

All traces of this mysterious guy in the building had been erased by the explosion, and it was obvious that he didn't want Merlin to notice him, nor did he want these tricky heroes to sabotage his plans.

Although, no one knows what the plan is.

———————————————————

boom

Under Merlin's call, the scorching hellfire filled the passage in front of him, like a rapidly moving wall of fire, pushing all the soldiers and mutants who blocked him back incessantly.

A female mutant who could continuously teleport herself screamed and appeared from behind Merlin, and rushed towards Merlin wielding two purple energy knives.

Laura subconsciously popped out her claws, but was stopped by Merlin's eyes.

Put it away.

Merlin whispered:

I don't want to see your hands stained with blood again, girl, at least tonight.

Laura shook her head stubbornly. She looked back and saw that the woman who jumped out of the teleportation had been controlled by the drifting black mist. With Merlin's finger dancing, she rushed towards the soldiers in front of her stiffly.

This isn't the only mutant being controlled.

Merlin's attack was very gentle this time, he didn't kill too many people, but controlled them with black mist puppetry, just like controlling his own soldiers.

In the constant movement of his fingers, the controlled soldiers and mutants were already sullen, fighting with other people who rushed out of the building.

And the escaping black mist is still controlling more people.

This slightly evil puppetry was learned by Merlin from the power projection of Sangong who came to reality at the beginning. It is said that this is one of the tactics that Sangong is best at. With the technique, one can easily manipulate an army of hell to transform the enemy's power into one's own.

Merlin obviously can't reach that level, but controlling dozens of people is still no problem.

Take me to the lab.

Merlin said to Laura:

You should know where those bastards are torturing poor people, right?

Laura nodded. She glanced at the chaotic battlefield behind her, and then pulled Merlin into another spiral upward staircase.

Looking out of the window, the demon hunters and the combat team commanded by Colson have also completed the airborne. They formed a temporary encirclement outside the building, and some guys who saw the situation and wanted to escape rushed out Crash into the encirclement net.

That's what Merlin wanted to see.

A war of annihilation.

Oh, almost forgot.

Merlin patted his head and took out his wand from his waist. Under Laura's curious gaze, he raised his wand. After muttering and engraving, a large-scale spatial anchor was imposed on this building. The space was completely blocked, and any teleportation, whether it was magic or the teleportation of mutants, could no longer be effective.

That's all right.

Merlin retracted his wand and said to Laura:

Keep leading the way, boy, it's just magic, nothing to be surprised about.

Laura pursed her lips. She seemed to want to speak, but in the end she didn't speak out. She remained silent as always. She led Merlin all the way up, and soon came to the test area on the third floor.

While a fierce battle broke out under the building, the place was already in chaos. Those people in research uniforms hurriedly packed their things, or ran around like headless chickens.

This is exactly the same as the scene in Laura's memory, a passage full of despair, with laboratory rooms on both sides of the passage, and there are cries of pain.

It's noisy!

Merlin looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, he stretched his fingers forward, and the tumbling black mist rushed towards the passage in front of him like a roaring giant snake, violently fixing everyone in front of him in place.

The entire chaotic experimental area immediately fell silent, except for the screams of the unattended experimental subjects.

This quietness satisfied Merlin, and he pulled Laura into the nearest laboratory.

A young boy was lying on a hospital bed. He seemed to have just been injected with a serum containing a fragment of the x-gene. The blood vessels on his arm bulged, and the muscles on his face were twisted. He was in pain, and even breathing became difficult. Like a struggling fish thrown into the sun.

Help me...please...please...

The boy looked desperately at Merlin and Laura beside him. Laura wanted to rush to help, but Merlin stopped her with his hand.

This girl can only kill, but not save.

Moira?

Merlin used Icarus to contact the military doctor of the watch team, and he said:

Come to me, someone needs help.

A few seconds later, the window of the laboratory was brutally smashed by a metal stick, and Dr. Moira, who was wearing Valkyrie armor, jumped into the laboratory. She nodded to Merlin, and then walked to the painful boy. Checking his condition, he said:

It's too bad, these bastards didn't do genetic matching at all, just injecting genetic fragments so casually, it's so unprofessional, it's really vulgar... Also, Merlin, I've played enough of the military doctor game, you'd better So hurry up and find a real doctor, my own experiments have been delayed for too long!

We're looking, but it's not that easy.

While answering Moira's words, Merlin led Laura out of the ward. He looked at the doctors and nurses who were restrained in place in the passage in front of him, and said in a low voice:

They're all researchers, right?

Merlin looked at Laura, and he asked:

Each of them took part in the experiments on you, didn't they?

Laura nodded, she didn't know what Merlin was going to do.

Girl, are there any innocent people among these people?

Merlin asked again, Laura turned her head to look at these people in front of her, she distinguished their faces, she recalled what these people did in the past, she tried to find a few innocent people, but unfortunately...

No.

In this sinful building, those truly kind people cannot stay, and being able to conduct this kind of torture experiment on children without any psychological barriers seems to mean that these people, regardless of their No matter how old they were, they were far from being kind and innocent, whatever their biography.

Laura finally shook her head at Merlin.

Um.

Merlin raised his head and said to those who were looking at him:

Everyone, it's a pity that I really want to tell you that you have been arrested. You will face legal sanctions and trials. I really want to tell you that you will repent for everything you have done in prison and spend the rest of your life. Time to atone.

But...the bodies in the basement morgue won't let me do it, and neither will the ghosts howling around you.

There is only one kind of judgment that those wraiths shaped by your sins crave...

Merlin stretched out his hand, gently covered Laura's eyes, and said:

Go and ask for their forgiveness...

In hell.

wow

The scorching flames of hell rose from under everyone's feet, and the scorching flames wrapped around the bodies of these guys who had committed numerous crimes like devouring snakes.

They were in pain, they were afraid, they were frightened, and they were crying.

But they can't make a sound, can't struggle, just like those children who are tied to the hospital bed and can only passively accept the unknown fate and torture.

In Merlin's eyes, there are traces of earthbound spirits everywhere in this passage, those weak spirits are roaring, they died of ugly sins, and now, they are comforted.

Laura tried to pull away Merlin's hand covering her eyes, but heard Merlin say to her:

Be good, good boy don't look at it.

So Laura fell silent.

In fact, for a mutant with keen senses like Laura, she knew exactly what Merlin had done.

At the moment when those silently burning pillars of fire were extinguished, at the moment when those ashes were rolled up and scattered, in front of Merlin's eyes, those spirit bodies bowed down to pay respects to Merlin one by one, and the spirit bodies of several lovely children surrounded him. Merlin was running, laughing, and they waved goodbye to Merlin.

After the last desire is satisfied, these weak spirits will completely dissipate and return to the world.

Merlin cast a little magic on Laura so that she could also see those dying spirits. He knew that among those spirits were Laura's friends.

The little girl saw things that ordinary people couldn't see, but she was not afraid. She searched for those spirit bodies, and finally she found them.

It was a girl who was thinner than Laura. She floated in front of Laura and showed a big smile to Laura. She stretched out her hand and wanted to hug Laura, as if wishing her friend a safe life.

Laura stretched out her hand in vain, trying to keep her, but the spirit body that has been satisfied cannot continue to exist.

The little girl and several other spirits who were familiar with Laura waved to Laura, and then dissipated like the most beautiful halo. Those faint blue light spots scattered around Laura. This scene looked very beautiful. .

They went to better places...

Merlin stepped forward and stood beside Laura. He put his hand on Laura's shoulder and said softly:

In the eyes of wizards, death is not the end, but the beginning of another journey, bless them, Laura. You may not understand it, but every journey has an end, and after the end, the story continues .”

Well...

The little girl turned around and threw herself into Merlin's arms. The tense silence was finally broken at this moment. She was crying like a really sad child.

She still can't let go of her friend's departure like Merlin, and she can't turn a blind eye to the eternal farewell.

She's just a kid...

In my life, I have no chance to live a stable life.

Merlin hugged the weeping girl, stroked Laura's hair, and said softly:

So you children, you must live the life you want to live, and then cherish it for me.

Now, the revenge has been avenged, the grievance has been resolved, child, you are free.

Merlin turned his head and waved to Moira, who was standing not far behind him, watching the scene quietly. He said to Laura, whose face was full of tears:

Follow Big Sister and leave.

I have to stay here. I still have some personal grievances that need to be dealt with.
