A few hours later, on a small plane flying from Nevada to New York, Merlin was wearing Eric's windbreaker, sitting in a wheelchair, and was talking to Eric.

He was holding a photo album in his hand. He looked at Eric, who was vigorous in the photo. He couldn't help but say:

"Ah, it seems that I really missed a lot. Not only did I fail to attend your graduation ceremony, I haven't been able to send you to college in person, so how is life at MIT?"

"That's it."

Eric, sitting on the couch, drinking Coke, said to Merlin:

"Not as good as I thought, but it can't be considered bad."

"What about Charlie?"

Merlin turned over the photo. The next page is a photo of Eric and the girl Charlie. From the background of the photo, it should be at May's house.

There was a smile on Merlin's mouth, he asked:

"Has the kid been doing well this time?"

"pretty good."

Eric sat up straight, and said to Merlin with a frowning eyebrow:

"Charlie and May get along very well. They often go shopping together to buy clothes. By the way, Charlie also found a new boyfriend."

"Oh?"

Merlin looked at the photos and asked casually:

"Is it a native of New York? Is she a classmate at Empire High School?"

"It's me! Merlin!"

Eric called:

"I didn't tell you before you left home for Afghanistan. Am I going to chase Li? 2 months ago, I got it!"

"You bastard, really..."

Merlin raised his head and glared at Eric with a slightly angry look, who was a little scared.

But a few seconds later, Merlin sighed, and he waved his hands helplessly:

"Forget it, it's your young people's business, I won't take part. But if you dare to do something excessive...I will interrupt your legs, do you believe it?"

"Hey, this is my first love."

Eric shrugged:

"Anyhow, I have a little confidence in me."

"Anything else happened during this period?"

Merlin put together the album, he leaned on the wheelchair, he said to Eric:

"Don't talk about trivial things, I mean, have any major events happened recently?"

"Let me think about it."

Eric put down the Coke in his hand. After a while, he moved his finger and said:

"The European Cup football game has started... er, but I doubt that you are asking for it. Oh, yes, five months ago, the president announced a full investigation of the CIA, and it was said that it was replaced by one-fifth at a time. One official is because of serious corruption within them."

"I heard Coulson say it was all your credit."

"Colson really dare to say anything."

Merlin rubbed his forehead with trembling fingers, he said:

"That really has something to do with me, but I can't tell you the rest. What else?"

"and also..."

Eric thought hard for a long time before he hesitated and said:

"In the past few months, there have been many cases of homeless disappearances in New York City. When I chatted with Coulson, he told me that it was because the vampire groups in New York were very active recently. Those missing, 70% They were all taken away by vampires."

"vampire?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes.

Although his skinny cheeks now seemed to have a kind of undisguised weakness, when he squinted, the kind of colder temperament than before still made Eric sitting opposite him subconsciously shake. body.

The young man could feel that after this escape from Afghanistan, Merlin seemed to have changed.

When talking about those threats, Merlin's tone and expression became colder than ever.

It's just like...

The same piece of real ice.

"Well, I know."

Merlin nodded. He looked at the time displayed in the cabin. He said to Eric:

"It's almost time to New York. You'll be home first. I have to go to the office."

"You should go home and rest!"

Eric said worriedly:

"An organization as large as SHIELD can't run without it. If you continue like this, you'll only be exhausted. Look at how you are now, hell, you've lost 40 pounds than before! Head up."

"I know."

Merlin waved his hand. He interrupted Eric. He said:

"I will take a break. After everything is set up, S.H.I.E.L.D. does have a lot of talent, but there are some things that I can only come by myself."

"Gatler managed S.D.O.L.D. for me for almost a year."

Merlin had ten fingers with some difficult activities. He said:

"I can't trouble him too much, he is also very tired, it's time for him to go back to Europe to rest."

Although Merlin's language is gentle, Eric looked at Merlin's slightly gloomy face. He can guess from Merlin's expression. Merlin should be for the agent of the Gatler agent this year...

Very dissatisfied.

————————————

One hour and 45 minutes later, the small plane landed at the SHIELD office at New York City.

When Eric pushed Merlin's wheelchair and walked out of the cabin, not far from their eyes, a black babysitter was already waiting for them.

Agent Colson, who was wearing uniforms and sunglasses and exuded seriousness all over the body, was standing by the car. When he saw Merlin, his expression changed, and he quickly walked towards Merlin.

"Sir, long time no see."

Coulson took off his sunglasses. He crouched down and looked at Merlin.

Merlin also looked at him, he looked at his subordinates, his brother, there was a touch of warmth deep in his eyes. But soon, the warmth in Merlin's eyes disappeared, replaced by a stern.

"When I leave, let you take care of S.D.O.L.D. for me, Coulson."

Merlin says:

"On the surface, Butler is acting minister, but part of the action and decision-making power is in your hands. But you see, Coulson, I have been away for 7 months, and I slept for another 9 months, more than a year. After time, when I woke up, I heard news that vampires raged in New York..."

Merlin clapped Coulson's hand. He said gently:

"This situation has really disappointed me, Coulson."

"You better give me a reasonable explanation."

Faced with Merlin's question, Coulson's expression was a bit ashamed. He stood up and opened the door for Merlin. He said:

"Speak on the road, sir. Director Fury and Dr. Hall are still waiting for you."

"Then let them wait again!"

Merlin says:

"My body is fine, and I think it's more important to do the right thing than a physical examination."

He waved at Eric standing outside the door, beckoning him to go home first, and after this car, there was another car that would send Eric back to Hell's Kitchen.

And at the moment the door was closed, Merlin said to Coulson:

"Go to the S.D.O.L.D. office first and call Melinda and Sharon! And Agent Gattler...I want to know what happened during the time I left."

While driving away from the airport, Coulson said to Merlin who was leaning on the back seat:

"Sir, Mr. Gattler returned to Europe four months ago. The news you sent back before the disappearance let us know in advance the plan of the Ten Commandments to move to North America. The European branch launched a targeted operation and intercepted Some extremists trying to transfer."

"Because of the conflict with the Ten Commandments, the current situation on the European side is very tense. Chief Gattler has even begun to recruit agents from North Africa and South America to support him."

"Oh?"

Merlin's eyes narrowed, and he didn't expect that Butler was still in trouble now.

"Then it means that the chaos of the alien order in New York has nothing to do with Butler. That is to say, the vampire chaos in New York is all a matter of your three agents?"

"Uh, so to speak."

Colson peeked at Merlin's expression from the rearview mirror. He explained:

"But the situation hasn't always been this bad, sir. Actually, the vampires have been in trouble for the last 2 months, and the part that caused the trouble is not a local vampire in New York...I mean, those first The guy who started making trouble is a group of lawless outsiders."

"Aliens?"

Merlin frowned.

He knew that creatures like vampires had a strong sense of territory. They were family units and occupied independent territory. Generally speaking, once a foreign vampire tries to beg for life in the territory of another vampire family, there are only two options.

Either abandon your family and merge into a new family.

Either fight the local vampire family with a real gun on the position and grab the site directly.

But now listening to Coulson's statement, in New York, there seems to be a third situation?

"Tell me in detail."

Merlin said.

Coulson turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the new office building of SHIELD, while explaining to Merlin behind him:

"Sir, you also know that before you left, the "Blood Presbyterian Church", the 13th family of the Americas, although they have been secretly fighting against the order we and the Magic Congress are advancing together, at least they have not confronted us on the surface. But recently For a while, there was a division within the Blood Presbyterian Church."

"The cause of the split is a group of vampires who have migrated from South America. They are abnormally not attached to any family of the 13th family. Instead, they are stirred up with a group of radical civilian vampires."

Colson said to Merlin with a headache:

"This directly led to the great increase in the strength of the civilian vampires that were originally suppressed by the 13 families. Under the leadership of a vampire named Deacon Forest, they officially began to split from the blood elders. The lunatics are a group of out-and-out'great vampires.' They claim to overthrow the ignorant rule of the Blood Presbyterian Church and establish a new vampire social order."

"The recent disappearances in New York are just incidents of friction between the two sides. According to our observations, sir, maybe a few months later, a civil war between vampires will erupt throughout the East Coast. And this vampire civil war, definitely It will affect vampires in other parts of North America. By that time... the problem is really serious."

"It's so loud?"

Merlin was a little surprised, and he also understood Coleson's pain.

S.D.O.L.D. is just a nascent department, and its limit for handling heterogeneous transactions alone is the A-level event.

But as Coulson said, the blood elders who command North American vampires will split internally, and millions of vampires will start to divide factions, and the preparation of the horror of the vampire civil war, even if it is only a precursor, is definitely worth it. It was an S-level incident.

Even if the current disruption still exists only in New York, it is not that S.D.O.L.D., which has insufficient power, can handle it alone.

"Don't the Magic Congress intervene?"

Merlin asked:

"Why do the wizards sit and watch the vampires so messy?"

"We are understaffed, sir."

Coulson said helplessly:

"The Magic Congress protects the order within the 17 heterogeneous protected areas that have just been established. At our request, we sent Aurors to patrol the three places of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn, but this is the power of the Magic Congress in New York. The limit can be achieved. They have to monitor other hot spots in North America, and there is not much power that can be assigned to us."

"The most terrible thing is, Chief Merlin, the internal chaos of the vampires is actually just an introduction. The chaos they cause is like a stone thrown into the water. The waves caused by the other strangers also start to move."

Colson said:

"Melinda and I have been busy soothing other aliens recently. Sharon's action team has also been hunting down the vicious civilian vampire madman. Agent Sharon himself was injured. In fact, she is still The Aegis Hospital is being treated."

"Is Sharon's injury serious?"

Merlin asked with concern.

He had promised that the missing Ms. Carter would take care of her niece. If something happened to Sharon, then Merlin would have violated her promise.

This is unacceptable to him.

"Actually, it's okay, just a skin trauma."

Colson said:

"Several vampires were hiding outside her apartment to try to attack her, but Sharon was killed with a holy silver bullet. She was not bitten by those vampires. This is really a matter of luck."

"Well... it seems that I did blame you."

Hearing this, Merlin's serious expression also eased.

He turned his head to look out of the car window, his weak, thin face reflected in the car window. After a while, Merlin said:

"Then go see Fury."

"Exactly, I have something to tell him."
