Shadow of the Beautiful World

Sister! Mei!

Amidst the wailing, Merlin suddenly appeared half-kneeling beside Mei who was lying on the ground, looking at her sister covered in blood, Merlin's eyes were full of nervousness.

Merlin, May is not injured.

Relax, she just passed out from the blast.

Icarus' prompt sounded in Merlin's ears. The artificial intelligence lady has the function of life scanning, and her judgment is correct. Merlin's fingers rested on Mei's wrist, and the magic power quickly circulated in Mei's body. Indeed, Mei just passed out and was not injured.

The blood on her body should have come from other people who were knocked down by the explosion.

Merlin held his sister's hand, and he found that the black ring on May's right little finger flickered. It was the souvenir that Eric brought back when he returned from Wakanda.

The high-tech and gadgets from Wakanda allow the ring to support an energy shield at critical moments. Eric brought back a large number of rings. Everyone in the family has one, even little Peter has one .

Thank goodness.

Merlin kissed his sister's hand. At this moment, he was very grateful that Mei was a person who valued feelings. She always carried the gift that Eric gave her.

The shield held up by the ring when it exploded protected Mei from the explosion at all, but others at the scene of the explosion were not so lucky.

Sister, wake up.

Merlin stretched out his hand and released a water-calling spell, sticking cold water to his fingers and sticking it to Mei's cheek. A few seconds later, Mei, who was stunned by the explosion, opened her eyes blankly. The younger brother with a tense face.

Mei's memory was still at the moment when the bomb exploded. When she saw Meilin, all the fear in her heart was released.

She hugged her brother tightly, her body was constantly trembling, this woman who was always kind to others, seemed to have lost her soul at this moment, trembling so much that she couldn't even speak a word.

She was just an ordinary person, facing the sudden explosion just now, when the flames splashed, wailing and blood filled her mind.

At that moment, death is no longer an illusory concept and a perceptual description in the poet's mouth. This is a real brush with death experience, which is enough to truly frighten people living in peace.

Don't be afraid, sister, don't be afraid, I'm here.

Merlin hugged his sister, he patted his sister's back lightly, and used the Yaxi seal to calm Mei's spirit.

It's all over, it's all over.

Brother? Brother...

Mei, who came back to her senses, hugged her younger brother even tighter, like a koala. She still had some chaotic thoughts and couldn't understand how Merlin suddenly appeared after the explosion...

Although she always knew that her younger brother might be hiding some secrets, at this moment, she suddenly realized that her younger brother was probably really not an ordinary person.

Now go home and be good, okay?

Merlin stretched out his hands and supported Mei's bewildered face. He said to his sister:

I'll take care of the rest, come, follow me.

Merlin stretched out his hand to cover Mei's eyes, preventing her from seeing the miserable scene on the ground around her, so as not to stimulate Mei's spirit again by the bloody scene, and to prevent the bad scene from leaving an unhealable psychological shadow on her sister.

He sent his sister to the edge of the square, and then told Dobby, the leprechaun, to send Mei back to Merlin's home, and told Ruiwen to take good care of Mei through magic communication.

After doing all this, Merlin turned his head and looked at the Charity Square, which looked like a battlefield that had been attacked.

He didn't even need to look, just based on his perception of vitality, he knew that the explosion just now killed 17 people... Except for the lucky Mei, almost everyone in the square was injured.

And the instigator of all this was among those injured.

Merlin walked up to the young black man who was lying in a pool of blood. This comatose guy still had strange energy fluctuations in his body.

Looking at the fallen young man with an indifferent look, he said to Icarus:

Notify the nearest hospital to send an ambulance, clear the road traffic, then notify the police station in Queens to send someone over, and finally...call me the surveillance on the scene, as well as this guy's identity information, he should be a superhuman. ..and maybe a goddamn superhero.

Seriously, Icarus...

Merlin rubbed his forehead, and said in a low tone:

I'm really, really kind of fed up with these bastards running amok.

This young man seems to have been teleported.

Icarus called out the surveillance at the explosion site and projected it on the Merlin lens. He saw the scene of Tyrone emerging from the empty air, and also saw the young man trying to hug the bomb.

Merlin closed his eyes and explored with the remaining energy in the air. After a while, he said to Icarus:

The other end of the remaining energy is in Hell's Kitchen, call out the monitoring over there!

A few seconds later, the surveillance from Hell's Kitchen was also projected in front of Merlin's eyes. He saw a series of movements of the robber, the blonde girl and the black man in full. , the terrified girl who threw out three white light daggers, he was silent for a moment, and said:

That girl and this guy... are both superhumans.

Merlin looked at the black Tyrone lying in a pool of blood at his feet, and then at the messy square behind him, he said:

They were inextricably linked to the tragic death of 17 innocent people.

Find her identity and bring her back!

———————————

New York is regarded as the base camp of S.H.I.E.L.D., and s.d.o.l.d.'s operation efficiency is also extremely fast. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hunting agents arrested Miss Tandy very smoothly...

Because she didn't want to escape at all.

She was even praised by pedestrians on the side of the road for capturing three robbers. She was as popular as a superhero, and she felt that she had done a good thing.

Although Tai Long was a little worried about leaving, but because he had no contact information, he could only follow the police back to the police station in Hell's Kitchen to assist in the investigation.

Ten minutes later, a serious S.H.I.E.L.D. agent appeared in the police station in Hell's Kitchen. It wasn't until this time that the rich girl, whose family had fallen, left her hometown and came to New York to find a new life, realized that she was several blocks away. what happened in the square.

Snapped

The door of the Hell's Kitchen police station was pushed open, and Merlin walked into the police station. The sheriff on duty immediately stepped forward, said a few words to Merlin, and then pointed to the location of the interrogation room.

Miss Tandy is under control.

The girl was sitting in the interrogation room, and two S.H.I.E.L.D. Witcher agents were watching her.

She was looking at the news report on the wall. On the TV screen, the well-known reporter Miss Louise Lane was broadcasting live news on the front line.

On the square behind her, there was still blood that hadn't been scrubbed clean. The police cordoned off the crime scene, and there were still crowds of people around. Everything looked so bad.

The blond chick was pale, and she knew she was in trouble.

Snapped

Merlin walked into the interrogation room, and he threw an accident briefing on the table in front of Miss Tandy, probably to let the young man understand what happened more intuitively, Merlin stretched out his hand and pushed his glasses, Icarus stretched out A ray of light used holographic projection to play the scene where Tai Long carried a bomb and exploded in the crowd.

The entire interrogation room was shrouded in projections, as if returning to the moment when the bomb exploded in the Charity Square, the flames, the wailing of the crowd, the terrified fleeing, and the fragmented body, all of these were performed so realistically that the blond lady couldn't bear it. I closed my eyes.

17 people died, 5 people are still being rescued, and 13 people were injured by your reckless actions.

In the interrogation room of the Hell's Kitchen Police Station, Merlin stood in front of Tandy. He looked at the shivering girl in front of him with a calm and indifferent look. He said:

Is there anything you want to say to me?

I... just protect myself, I didn't... didn't mean to.

Facing Merlin's gaze, the rich girl who ran away from home explained incoherently:

I didn't know about the bomb. The little brother came to help me. He probably wanted to take the bomb away to avoid harm... But, this was an accident, really, we are not...

Yes, you didn't mean it, and everyone didn't mean it.

Merlin says:

But who speaks for the wounded and who is responsible for the dead? Maybe before you show off your ability to meddle in something you shouldn't, you should take a few seconds to think about the possible consequences.

They were going to hurt other people, and they were going to hurt me.

The blond lady looked at Merlin, she said anxiously:

We just want to help.

But this is the result of your help.

Merlin let the projection freeze in the scene where the bomb exploded, and he said to the blonde girl amidst the blood dripping:

Maybe the next time you encounter something like this, when you think you should help...don't help, okay? Things that you do with good intentions may not necessarily become good things. What's more, the facts have proved that you have no ability to handle those things.

But I can understand it, young man.

After Miss Tandy was silent, Merlin's tone suddenly became strangely gentle. He walked slowly behind the little blond girl, and said softly:

I don't know where I got the inexplicable ability, but I feel that I am the chosen one, I always feel that I am different, and I always want to make a career.

At the beginning, it was to stop petty theft and teach those bastards who were showing off their might. The idea was always simple at the beginning, and the pure joy of doing good things supported you to use it continuously.

It's like a child who is curious about the world and full of kindness.

Merlin stretched out his hand and put it on Miss Tandy's shoulder, this action made the rich girl's body tremble. Merlin's voice, like that of an intimate big brother, came from behind her.

Soon, however, fighting petty crimes will no longer sate your rapidly growing vanities, and you will yearn to do something truly ... 'great.'

Those dangerous scenes that you can't handle at all will be mistaken by you as your own stage. You think you can do more, and you can even do things that you shouldn't do...But you ignore You guys tend to overestimate yourself.

And this is what happens when you overestimate yourself!

Merlin pointed to the holographic projection in front of the two of them. The scene of the bomb exploding in the crowd was so dazzling.

I'm not worried that you're going to hurt yourselves... I'm worried that you're going to hurt someone else. And now, watching it, young man, what I'm worried about has happened, and it's not the first time gone.

If you don't attack those three gangsters, they won't throw grenades, they will just walk away with the stolen money, yes, losing money is a bad thing, but at least no one will be hurt. Now? No Wrong, the 17 dead people were homeless, and they gathered in the square at this noon time just for a trivial lunch. They died and no one would speak for them.

You think you are doing good deeds and protecting the innocent. From a moral point of view, it seems that you should not be reprimanded.

It's the robbers who are at fault, aren't they?

Merlin asked softly:

If they didn't do bad things, if they changed the time, if they didn't have the bombs, none of this would have happened... Even we step back and say it's just bad luck for you, if those bums didn't get together at that time Together, if those charity workers don't help others, it will all work out.

In short, you are not wrong, superheroes are not wrong, right?

Faced with Merlin's malicious speculation, Miss Tandy trembled with anger. She opened Merlin's hand on her shoulder, and she shouted out of control:

No, that's not it! I don't want to see it all, but...

Look, that's why I don't like you guys.

The corner of Merlin's mouth pulled out a trace of sarcasm, and he said mercilessly:

At this point, you still have no responsibility at all. Someone died because of your incompetence, but you just want to shirk responsibility.

You're just kids...

Children should stay at home honestly, instead of going out to the streets to do what the police should do. You want to use words to wash the blood off your hands? But I'm sorry, son, I can see through the soul, the soul is won't lie...

Now, you have been arrested on suspicion of abuse of superpowers and intentional injury, Ms. Tandy Bowen. You and your companion will be brought to court in the near future. I hope that what happened to you will make others who did not do the same thing as you Well-prepared kids realize the magnitude of the problem.

Merlin waved his hand, and two witcher agents stepped forward, handcuffing energy-shielding handcuffs on Miss Tandy's wrists. She struggled, but she was no match for a well-trained witcher.

Merlin looked at her, and he whispered:

Oh, what a pretty face...

Oh, what an ugly soul...
