[Comprehensive British and American] How agents solve the single problem

31

Merlin was really angry.

When he was still a white cat, Phoebe learned to clearly distinguish his emotions-most of the time, Merlin put on a straight face and said that this was not allowed and that was not allowed, and it was just pretending, but it was definitely not now.

He was still wearing the same brown cardigan, with the same calm expression, but behind the pair of glasses, Merlin's bright eyes contained a dangerous color.

Before Phoebe could answer, she flinched instinctively.

To put the past aside, seeing Phoebe showing a guilty look, Merlin would definitely take the lead in softening his attitude, but not this time.The tall man was completely indifferent, he lowered his head and looked directly into Phoebe's eyes: "Why do you make such a claim?"

"I, I," whispered Phoebe under his question, "but I made it."

"You did not answer my question."

"Anyway—"

"Phoebe, answer the question."

Merlin turned sideways, dodging Phoebe's overstretched hand, completely refusing to accept her usual sticky coquetry.

The man raised his finger and repeated: "Why do you make such claims?"

It wasn't until this moment that Phoebe truly realized the seriousness.

Don't accept showing weakness, don't accept cheating, even the practice of acting like a baby will not work.Phoebe just stood up obediently, and suddenly felt aggrieved.

She didn't feel like she was doing anything wrong.

So the girl raised her eyes boldly: "I want to prove myself, I have the ability to be an agent, and I did it!"

Merlin: "..."

Perhaps in the entire Royal Secret Service organization, apart from Arthur, none of the members dared to look Merlin in the eyes when he was angry, let alone refute.

"If you're an agent," Merlin said seriously, "you're not qualified just because you don't obey orders."

"Can--"

"—no but, girl. You're lucky enough that the enemy wouldn't shoot in the flammables warehouse. What if they did? Yes, you're nimble and quick, but you're no quicker than guns and other hot weapons Every action of Eggsy and Roxy has been carefully planned, and your random appearance may even cause the entire plan to go wrong."

"I do not have!"

Phoebe's eyes widened in shock.

She didn't expect Merlin to say that at all, and Phoebe was still expecting his praise on the way back, but no, he completely denied her behavior.

"Merlin is always dissatisfied," Phoebe couldn't help raising her voice, "It's always not, no, no, what do I have to do to be satisfied!"

"Phoebe, you don't have to please me."

"Then I think it's good to do this, I saved Roxy."

"........."

Merlin was left with a headache by her indomitable logic.

He rubbed the space between his brows. After a whole day of logistical affairs, he had to personally direct the secret service operation. The almost loss of Roxie was enough to make him tired. Now he had to deal with such a Phoebe.

Even Merlin would inevitably lose patience in the face of such intense pressure.

"Phoebe."

He still has a lot of work to do, and Merlin has no time to continue pestering her now.

"Now I'll send you back to the room," he tried his best to maintain a calm tone, "we'll talk about this matter after I finish dealing with the rest of the matter tonight."

"I'm not talking to Merlin."

Merlin took a deep breath: "You betrayed my trust, Phoebe!"

Phoebe shuddered in disbelief, not sure if he was startled by the sudden impatience in his tone, or because Merlin had never said such a thing before.

For God's sake, when Merlin saw the girl's expression of the sky falling, he still couldn't help but soften his heart.

But no, he can't pamper her anymore, this is not only stepping on Merlin's bottom line, but also the whole Royal Secret Service.So the man was still stubborn, and he held Phoebe's arm: "Come with me."

Phoebe was in a state of shock and anger, allowing Merlin to take her back to the room, where she stood there as if petrified.

Merlin was afraid that there would be another accident after she reacted—such as running to a high place in a corner again, or simply running away from home in a fit of anger, so she turned on the bedroom monitor after returning to the office.

Fortunately not.

He temporarily put aside Phoebe's affairs and began to arrange to investigate the local gang infighting. He did not forget to ask Roxy to write a report and confirm the information and next steps with MI6 again.

It was night again when all the work at hand was finished.

Merlin put down the mouse, and he leaned back, sighing extremely tiredly.

The man's gaze inevitably shifted to another monitor, and Phoebe under the camera had hardly moved since Merlin turned on the monitor.

The petite girl threw off the shoes under her feet, climbed onto the bed despite being covered in dust, and curled herself up into a ball.Phoebe likes to be clean on weekdays, she would never do this, even if she doesn't care about this, I'm afraid she is really sad to the extreme.

Now she was lying on the bed with the quilt uncovered, not sure if she was asleep or in deep thought.

To be honest, Merlin really didn't expect Phoebe to rush directly to the mission site.

Merlin began to wonder what Eggsy's wish was - the logistics officer of the Royal Secret Service was extremely smart and scheming, and he made repeated mistakes in front of this cat-turned-human girl. I'm afraid it will drive countless bad guys who want to destroy the world mad.

He thought for a moment, and finally realized that the responsibility was still on him.Merlin never thought of avoiding Phoebe when deploying tasks or even talking about secrets. After all, Merlin in the past would not avoid white cats when working, so after she became a human, Merlin also felt that it was unnecessary.

Unexpectedly, the negligence at that time brought such a result.

He has to make sure the same thing doesn't happen again.

Merlin got up and left the office. He returned to his room, and the lights in the study were not turned on.He strode to the door and knocked on the bedroom door: "Phoebe."

But no one answered.

Merlin waited for a while, then opened the door directly.

The girl on the bed moved when the door opened, but she really didn't sleep.Merlin sat by the bed: "I don't think you had dinner."

Phoebe ignored him.

Merlin: "Fried fish?"

Even the fried fish lost its appeal, the girl turned over and wrapped herself in the quilt.

Merlin: "..."

Well, it looks like he has to get straight to the point.

"Phoebe," Merlin said, "Silence and cold war can't solve any problems. I don't know how to read minds. If you want to solve the problem and want me to understand your position and thoughts, you have to speak out."

That's a lot more useful than starting with dinner.

When Phoebe heard this, she turned over and sat up as if she had been electrocuted.

She didn't even change her clothes, it was still the same yoga clothes, and she still had her dirty little face.With blond hair draped over her shoulders, she looked embarrassed and pitiful, especially Phoebe's gray eyes were full of grievances and unwillingness, and tears could not stop spinning in her eyes.

"I can," she repeated angrily, "I did it!"

"..."

Before Merlin could respond, Phoebe crawled up to Merlin, grabbed the hem of the man's clothes and continued eagerly, "Why is Merlin always dissatisfied? I'm not satisfied with anything I do!"

"Okay, girl."

He raised his hand, and his broad palm fell on Phoebe's back, and Merlin patted her on the back symbolically, and comforted her: "I'm being careless, but you have to understand that I'm not picking on you for no reason. "

"You're picking on me."

"Phoebe."

Merlin softened his tone slightly.

"What happened today must never happen next time," he said. "You don't know how much risk you are taking. You are facing people who will kill you."

"I know, I can take it."

"Then have you considered me?"

"Hey?"

Phoebe blinked, then looked dazed.

Knowing so, Merlin shook his head.

"Roxy's glasses are malfunctioning, but not completely broken. I'm on the other side of the lens and witnessing all your actions, Phoebe. If it were me facing death and you sitting in a remote office Unprepared and unable to do anything, what should you do?"

Phoebe said nothing.

"I will not allow this to happen," he continued, "not just you, Roxy, Eggsy, Harry and all the other agents, I hope everyone can return safely after the mission. That's why The Royal Secret Service needs me to serve as an instructor to screen qualified people layer by layer, and I need to sit in front of the monitor to sort out information, plan tasks, and command everything."

"But, but I..."

"Loxy is in danger, I will arrange other agents to rescue her, the success rate is at least [-]%. And you are not included in the whole plan, girl, if you make any mistakes, have you ever considered my feelings?"

Phoebe opened her mouth in vain, "I" for a long time, but didn't say anything.

Merlin knew she was listening.

She knelt on the bed, her little face was in a state of embarrassment, but her clear eyes regained their former glory unconsciously.Phoebe lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said in a barely audible voice, "But, I really hope to help Merlin."

Merlin closed his eyes.

He could understand Phoebe's eagerness to gain recognition.

"It's my fault, girl," he said, "and I didn't take your feelings into account either."

"I didn't cause trouble for Merlin, did I?"

"is a bit."

The spirit that Phoebe raised just now faded away like a frost-beaten eggplant.

"But I'm also grateful to you, and it's an honor that you want my approval."

However, Phoebe is no longer an ignorant girl who just became a human being, and perfunctory words can't comfort her at all.

The girl snorted softly, and then entangled her as sticky as before.Phoebe threw herself into Merlin's arms and kept rubbing against his clothes. She didn't relax until the breaths of the two were so mixed that they couldn't distinguish each other.

"I also want to be a useful person," she said aggrievedly, "I want to help Merlin."

"You don't necessarily need to help me to realize your own value, Phoebe, you still have many choices."

"Many options?"

Phoebe looked up from Merlin's arms.

"What choice is there?" she asked, confused.

Her soft body was pressed against his chest, and her blond hair was close at hand. Merlin smelled a strange smell under the dust.Similar to orchids, it is almost inaudible.He froze for a moment, then realized that Phoebe had changed shampoo.

Sure enough, I still don't like the taste of the orange he picked.

At that moment, Merlin's hanging heart completely fell back. His point of view was correct, and it could be reflected from changing the shampoo—maybe Phoebe didn't realize it, but she was indeed approaching human beings step by step, becoming a human being with her own thoughts. young girl.

Under such circumstances, Merlin did not want to see his own likes and dislikes and thoughts controlling Phoebe's life.

So he thought for a moment and made a decision.

"We've got to move back," Merlin announced, "to my apartment."
