How wizards learn science and technology

"—Clear water is like a spring."

A gust of icy water splashed on Merlin's face, he was jolted and suddenly woke up.

His hands and feet were all tied to the chair and he couldn't move.The back of his head was still throbbing, and the butt of Cypher's gun was merciless.Merlin opened his eyes, and it took a lot of effort to see the person in front of him clearly.

Cypher retracted his wand and smiled.

"Honestly, Merlin," she said, "you're not what I thought you were."

Merlin twitched the corners of his mouth, but he didn't smile: "To each other."

Cypher was smartly dressed in a royal blue suit and black slacks.Coupled with a tall figure and a pretty face, she is almost no different from a model in a fashion magazine.If they met on the street, Merlin would never have imagined that the famous hacker Cypher would have such an image.

And she's a witch.

witch.

The word flashed through his mind, and Merlin couldn't help thinking of Phoebe Lovegood.I don't know how long he was in a coma. Did Phoebe wake up?

Hope she doesn't get too angry.

"You should really consider the possibility of job-hopping," Cypher continued casually, "that way we don't have to get into such an embarrassing situation."

Merlin didn't answer immediately.

He looked around and decided that he was supposed to be in the basement of an old building.

There is no way to tell the time, and Merlin can't deduce the action process of the agents, which is a bit bad, but fortunately his plan is still successful.

After all, Cypher couldn't have found the nanotracker.

"It's still free," he said calmly, "I still prefer sitting in front of the computer compared to the laboratory."

"So at this juncture, you still refuse to cooperate." Cypher sneered a few times, "It's nothing more than a poison|medicine formula, Merlin. You tell me, I can set a price for Kings|man, maybe next time we meet Still be friends."

"Please," Merlin said provocatively, "Miss Poppy's lesson is right in front of you, so don't make any dramas about the female devil ruling the world. It won't hurt to be your hacker."

Cypher's smile stopped abruptly.

She looked like she wanted to slap Merlin, but just when he was mentally prepared, Cypher didn't do it. Instead, she picked up her wand again: "I thought your little girlfriend would be inseparable It’s a pity, otherwise, I think our negotiation will go much smoother.”

"In the wizarding law, there are three forbidden spells," she said, "and one of them is the Cruciatus Curse, which causes endless pain."

Merlin's heart sank.

But Cypher didn't move, the wand just twirled around her fingertips.

"However, the mouth that the Cruciatus Curse couldn't pry open," Cypher said with a cold expression, "finally succumbed to waterboarding. I have to say, at least in terms of cruelty, ordinary people are far better than wizards."

She clapped her hands, the lights in the basement came on, and the array of instruments of torture fell into Merlin's eyes.

"One last chance, Merlin."

Cypher smiled beautifully but cruelly.

"What is the formula of the poison|drug?"

Now Merlin would be thankful for the blow on the back of the head.

At least the dull pain in the back of his head was tolerable, and the slight dizziness relieved him a little from the pain of execution.

Cypher's men threw him into the dungeon, and Merlin lay on the ground, taking a long time to get his breathing back to normal.He began to rejoice that his choice was quite correct: if Phoebe had to suffer this pain, even if she could bear it, Merlin would not forgive himself.

He took a breath and got up from the ground.

Merlin looked outside the dungeon. It should be an abandoned old manor or castle. The dilapidated dungeon was not sealed at all. Sitting on the edge of the iron fence, he could even see a dark opening.

Below the opening came the sound of waves.

You don't need to think about it to know that there is a cliff outside. Once the prisoners from hundreds of years ago lose their value, they can be thrown directly from here.

I just don't know when Harry and Eggsy will arrive, and Merlin doesn't think he can survive the next forced confession.

Fortunately, it was completely dark now, and Cypher and her men needed to rest. He had at least one night's respite.

Damn.

He felt almost numb on the left side of his body.

After the adrenaline subsided, Merlin gradually felt the cold. He tried his best to restrain the conditioned reflex of shivering, and tried to calm down the messy breathing again, but with little effect.

Just as Merlin was working hard, there was a slight rustling sound from the corner outside the dungeon.

He raised his head, and two blurred shadows stopped in the darkness.

Then one of the shadows came straight towards Merlin like crazy, it got through the iron fence and got close to him.

It's a black cat.

Merlin immediately became vigilant after seeing it clearly, but it didn't attack him.

The long-haired cat just whimpered, put its head on Merlin's hand, and then raised its head.The gray eyes shone brightly in the night, Merlin was startled, and immediately recognized the owner of these eyes.

"Phoebe?"

He spoke in disbelief.

"Your coat color...?"

Then the larger shadow outside the dungeon gradually turned into a figure, it was a man, he lowered his voice: "Phoebe, I'll go check the situation in the manor, maybe I can find someone who disables apparation. "

Phoebe transforms back into human form inside the dungeon.

Fortunately, the white cat changed its hair color, but she didn't.The moonlight outside the window cast a faint gleam on Phoebe Lovegood's long blond hair.She didn't look back: "Be careful, Sirius."

The man left without a sound.

The next moment, Phoebe stretched out her hands towards Merlin.

Her slender fingers touched his cheek, so soft and soft, Merlin almost fainted under her temperature.Phoebe's fingers were trembling. She tried her best to confirm Merlin's mental state. Under the moonlight, he could clearly see the tears in the young girl's eyes.

Merlin sighed, "I'm sorry, Phoebe."

"Do not."

Phoebe trembled.

"I'm sorry, I should share it for you, I should be by your side, I..."

She couldn't go on.Phoebe choked with sobs and took out her wand, and with a light tap, Merlin felt the bone-chilling chill dissipate.

It made him feel better.

Merlin raised his free hand and wiped away Phoebe's tears.

"It's all expected," Merlin comforted. "Someone has to bear the burden. It's better for me to come than you, not to mention Phoebe."

Merlin moved his body with difficulty, taking the initiative to close the distance with Phoebe for the first time.

"You are by my side now."

"..."

Phoebe blinked.

Complicated emotions flashed across her clear eyes, and the girl couldn't help but get closer.She was almost snuggling into Merlin's chest, but she was careful not to give the weight to him.

"Are you agreeing to me?" she asked.

Merlin: "..."

He was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Phoebe was referring to the sudden confession during the day.

It seemed she was serious.

Merlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she was the one who said not to talk about it, and she was the one who couldn't help asking questions—a dark and dirty dungeon is not a good time to talk about love.

Your double standard is a little too much, girl.

But I have to admit that Phoebe's untimely persistence gave him a lot of strength.

"Tell me about the situation first," he coughed lightly, "What's your plan?"

The author has something to say: Is it fun to bully Mr. Meilin? It's so much fun! !Miserable Merlin is so delicious [manually funny]! !

Thank you "Jiu Shao" and "A Jun" for the nutrient solution, I love you >3
