Shadow of the Beautiful World

In the middle of the night in Africa, in the palace of Wakanda, Merlin was shocked by a message from Wade.

Hydra

Sure enough, they really have not been completely eradicated? Or is Wade losing his nerve again?

No!

Merlin's narrowed eyes flashed a tingling cold light.

Although Deadpool is full of mouth and liars, Merlin dare not neglect the Hydra matter.

Especially in the current period, all the ghosts and monsters seemed to come out in one go.

Merlin thought for a moment, and he said to Deadpool:

You continue to keep in touch with him, tell your friend not to panic, let him answer the call and break into the Hydra

I need to know what they are planning, and most importantly, I need to know who their current leader is! Wade, this matter is very important, let me know as soon as there is news!

Deadpool was a little twitchy, he said:

It's okay to help you. After all, we are very good friends. You also took good care of me when I was in prison.

But you also know that I'm a mercenary now and I charge money to do things. My asking price, um, I mean, my friend asked a very high price. This is still a life-threatening latent mission.

Hold on.

Merlin switched the call to wait, then turned to look at T'Challa behind him.

Most of his monthly salary is donated to charitable organizations. He must have no spare money on hand, but he has a benefactor by his side.

Merlin said to Prince T'Challa:

Your Highness, I have encountered a matter and need money, but I don't have a lot of money, what I mean is, you can lend me some, and then I can help you persuade your father to let him let go of the ban on you.

In this way, you can rush to your beloved and accompany her through the ups and downs.

swish

T'Challa didn't hesitate too much, he picked up his cell phone.

A moment later, a transfer message appeared in the prompt of Icarus, and the string of zeros dazzled Merlin's eyes.

Ah, the goddamn rich

The posture of transferring money was so chic, which made Merlin a little jealous.

20 million, is it enough?

T'Challa waved his fingers, and he said:

If it's not enough, I'll transfer it to you.

enough.

Merlin nodded, turned his head and reconnected Deadpool's phone, he said calmly:

1500w, is it enough?

Enough! Enough! You are getting more and more generous, Merlin.

Deadpool smiled happily, patted his chest and said:

I just like an employer like you, so please leave this matter to me.

Moments later, in Queens, New York, Bob, who was anxiously waiting for news, received a call from Deadpool.

What? Want me to go undercover in Hydra? Crazy! I won't do it! This is a terrible thing

Huh? 4 million?

Bob, who was still confused just now, immediately became interested. He was worried that he had nowhere to make money.

But taking the opportunity to bargain is a must-have skill for an old fritter.

So Bob rolled his eyes, and he said again:

Well let me think about it, this is a very dangerous thing, I mean if there is more

Deadpool seemed a little dissatisfied, he cursed a few words, and then re-quoted the price.

600w?

Bob was very satisfied with the price.

After all, he just lurks in Hydra again, and he can retreat after finding the answers to a few questions, and Deadpool also promised that the official side will completely clean him up this time.

Well, the price tag is quite appropriate.

Okay, deal!

Bob patted his chest and said:

Just wait for my good news!

—

Early the next morning, Merlin returned to New York with Prince T'Challa.

Infatuated, with the help and persuasion of Merlin, the prince who was finally lifted by his father rushed to the detention place where his wife was transferred.

Before this matter is over, T'Challa does not intend to leave Ororo one step away.

As for Merlin, just after returning to the Trident Building, he received bad news.

Cyclops Summers is missing?

Seeing the message sent by Coulson in the internal communication system, the corners of Merlin's eyes suddenly twitched.

Cyclops itself has no special background except being the commander of the X-Men. He has a younger brother who is also a mutant and a member of the X-Men, but other than that, he is just a guy from an ordinary family. young people.

But Cyclops' lover is anything but ordinary.

Jean Gray.

Under the arrangement of Merlin, a powerful mutant who is struggling to integrate the power of the Phoenix in an isolated place, an uncontrollable factor that can engulf the world in an explosive state.

Merlin once suggested to the extremely painful Jean Gray that she should find a spiritual support to persist in this painful fusion.

Qin chose love.

She chose Cyclops who had a crush on her.

But now, the problem is troublesome.

Qin's spiritual pillar is missing

If it wasn't an accident, it meant that someone was following Qin.

And the guy who planned all this must be very familiar with the relationship between Cyclops and Qin, and also very familiar with Qin's current state, so it is unlikely that he is a clown.

Merlin frowned thinking.

Only a few people in S.H.I.E.L.D. know about Jean, wait, Fury

Short-term memory from when the Skrulls copied and Hydra suddenly started to regroup.

ah.

Merlin clenched his fists, and everything seemed clear.

The worst situation is that these guys have joined forces to overthrow S.H.I.E.L.D. and the world order it protects, and the Joker is their executor.

but

Why a clown?

This question really puzzled Merlin.

Fortunately, the place where Qin is isolated is not in this world, and Merlin does not need to worry about the risk of Qin losing control for the time being.

But the problem is that once the missing Cyclops dies in this crisis, even if Qin finally successfully merges the Phoenix Force, it is estimated that it will lead to worse events.

So, the top priority is to find him.

Merlin sat on the office chair, he took out the parchment from his pocket with some hesitation.

He put the parchment that had been with him for many years on the table. The parchment was full of cracks, and it looked like it had become fragmented from repeated use.

And since being taught by the Supreme Mage last time, the parchment has been very inactive, as if it was frightened.

Merlin picked up a pen and wrote a question on the parchment.

Where's Cyclops?

swish

The same sentence pattern as before jumped out.

Task, or pay?

Merlin reached out and drew a circle on the task option.

The next moment, the parchment trembled, and it was very difficult to project a request in front of Merlin's eyes.

There is only one simple sentence above.

Represents what the parchment wants Merlin to do.

Survive, don't admit defeat!

This request stunned Merlin for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

He stroked the parchment, then nodded, and said:

I think so too.

A wicked smile like a stick figure appeared on the torn parchment.

It seems to be responding to Merlin's statement.

Immediately afterwards, the location information about Cyclops Summers was marked, but there seemed to be some kind of force preventing the parchment from telling Merlin everything.

The location information was exposed very slowly, and it was extremely difficult for every word to jump out.

With a soft sound, there was another crack on the parchment.

This made Merlin feel distressed from the bottom of his heart.

Although he hated the parchment at first, he later discovered that this guy is actually pretty good.

As Merlin said, it was an old friend.

East Coast, Jersey City, Suburbs

When the information appeared here, the magic resistance on the surface of the parchment had reached an unsustainable level. It trembled and let out a strange cry, and the magic power on the paper completely dimmed.

sorry

A sentence emerged on the parchment.

It means that at this final moment, the outside world has reached its limit.

Enough is enough.

Merlin reached out to smooth the parchment, folded it, and put it in his pocket.

He stood up from the office chair, stretched out his hand, and the black windbreaker on the hanger turned into a ball of black ooze, jumped into Merlin's hands, and quickly reorganized into the style of the windbreaker.

Merlin picked up the blood jade cane, and at the moment he entered the Transformation Curse, he looked back at his office as if feeling something.

I don't know if it's an illusion

Merlin could feel that this might be the last time he came here.

He shook his head, pushed his useless thoughts aside, and then disappeared into the empty office under the light curtain of the Displacement Curse.

On the other side, in Jersey City, New Jersey, not far from New York, Captain America Steve Rogers is sitting in a speeding car, beside him sits the chattering Iron Man Tony Star gram.

In the back seat of the car, there are Agent Sharon and Agent No. 76 in full armor, as well as the ghost agent Reaper wearing a black cloak and a white mask.

This is a standard action team with a high level of strength.

They were heading to the outskirts of Jersey City. Just this morning, according to road surveillance, the suspected Winter Soldier had appeared there.

Honestly, I don't know who he is or what his story is, I don't care about that.

Tony Stark was wearing his playboy-style clothes, holding a donut bought on the side of the road in his hand, eating while looking at the twinkling scenery outside the window, he said:

I know he killed my parents, Merlin told me everything, maybe he is a poor man who is controlled, but I have to take revenge

You have said this over and over again almost ten times.

Agent Sharon sitting in the back seat complained:

Maybe it's a bad idea to have you come along, can't even a donut keep your mouth shut?

He's nervous, Sharon.

While driving the car, the captain said:

He likes to talk when he is nervous, and the more nervous he is, the more he talks. I knew this when I fought on the islands last time.

What are you talking about, you.

Tony looked back at Steve dissatisfied, and he said:

Which eye of yours sees me nervous?

Oh, is it so?

Steve glanced at him, and he said:

Would you please take your hands off the Supermark box before you say this? Your hands never left the box on the way. I said, Tony, you can stay in New York and wait for the news.

Anyway, with your speed, once there is a firefight, you can rush over quickly.

whispering sound

Tony looked away from him.

He finished the donut quickly, then wiped his hands with a handkerchief, took off the amber sunglasses pinned to his collar, and put them on his face.

Shua, Shua, Shua

On the lens in front of Tony's eyes, various modules belonging to the artificial intelligence Jarvis went online quickly, making the scenery in the lens quite sci-fi.

Connect to the satellite and search the surrounding area.

Tony says:

Jarvis, keep an eye on your surroundings.

A few minutes later, the car stopped on the side of the road in the outskirts of the city, and Steve jumped out of the car. With his shield on his back, he stood on the side of the deserted road and looked around.

Pointing to a forest near the road by the sea, he said:

The trace of the Winter Soldier captured by the surveillance is here. He dragged something and headed towards the woods.

You can still see the remaining traces.

Beside the captain, Sharon squatted down with two swords on her back. She activated the witcher's senses, and she could vaguely see some remaining footprints in the shaking perception.

When the demon hunter's perception was hit to the footprints, the remaining traces quickly became conspicuous.

Ahead! All the way to the woods

Sharon blinked her green cat eyes and said:

Let's go look ahead and get ready for battle.

The silent agents No. 76 and Reaper both grabbed their weapons, and the captain also picked up his shield. He turned his head and said to Tony who was standing beside the car with a suitcase:

You are cruising at high altitude, monitoring the search, and supporting us at any time if we need it, okay?

Um.

Tony's fingers flicked on the suitcase at hand, and the red and yellow steel module flipped over, as if it had a life of its own, quickly covering Tony's arms, shoulders, and body.

He reached out to take off the sunglasses in front of him, and the tightly closed helmet covered his handsome face at this moment.

There is no nose, no mouth, only two glowing hexagonal eye sockets, and the blue light is also lit in the eyes.

The cool iron man nodded to the captain and the others, and the jets on his feet and hands were activated, propelling him into the sky at high speed.

Compared with before, the current Iron Man has been strengthened too much in terms of operational efficiency and combat effectiveness. He is already a real superhero.

With this armor, he can easily defeat 99% of the street heroes of the New York Heroes Association.

That is no longer a level of power.

Let's go too!

On the ground, the captain held his shield and led his team into the quiet seaside forest in front of him.

he also has a hunch

Maybe something special will happen to him today.
