Another morning came, the sun pierced the darkness and spilled into the city, illuminating the world, but still some corners were occupied by darkness, and in those darkness, things that ordinary people could not know were still happening.

"Uh"

Victoria's steel sword touched a killer's neck. He looked very old, with white hair and a straight suit. He looked like a successful insurance salesman.

This old man's body is a bit rickety, he is no longer young, but maybe the temptation of money is endless, or it is to maintain the "dignity" of the Assassin League. In short, the old guy who should retire long ago has also joined the right Hunting of three young assassins.

But he failed.

At his feet, there was a sniper rifle severed by a sharp blade. His left hand was holding a dagger, but his wrist was cut by the sharp blade, making it impossible for him to fight back.

The icy long sword rested on his neck, and maybe his neck would be cut off in the next moment.

The old killer sighed. He dropped his dagger, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and seemed to be waiting for death.

He is a senior member of the Assassin League in New York, and one of the most powerful killers in the Continental Hotel in New York. It is the absolute confidant of Thalia, but unfortunately, he still lost.

But Victoria did not cut this sword.

The body was scarred and tired after a night of chaos, but Victoria, a well-trained military doctor, raised his wrist and looked at the time. On the black dial, the hour and minute hands pointed to the 8 o'clock position.

"Uh"

Victoria put the sword in her sheath and she reached out to the old killer in front of her. She said:

"Mr. Marcus, time is up, the hunt is over..."

"I still remember when you joined the Assassin League, you took care of us, you are a respectable senior, but IMHO, you should enjoy your retirement career, rather than continue to do these'dangerous' work."

The old killer opened his eyes and looked at Victoria. He shook his head and sighed in regret, then grabbed Victoria's hand and allowed her to pull herself off the ground.

The old man covered the wound on his left arm and said to Victoria:

"I didn't plan to come, it was Ms. Thalia who made us lose so ugly, so I temporarily gave us orders... but the era of the Assassin League may really be over. You young people, it is really not Now."

"There is no future for the decaying system."

Victoria turned her head to look at the sunlight above her head. She said:

"The legacy of the assassin that has been abandoned should also be re-executed... This is just the beginning, Mr. Marcus, never stop in front of the Brotherhood, but now, please allow me to say goodbye."

The young Assassin girl turned around and walked into the dark alley. Her pace was a little hobbled. It was not easy to defeat the old man, but it didn't matter, they won.

They completed their trials, and it was time to really start the reconstruction of the Brotherhood.

At the same time when the three young men finished the hunt trial, in the room on the second floor of the Continental Hotel, Merlin put the pocket watch back in his pocket, and then threw a portable Animus virtual instrument to Tully who was sitting and sulking. Ya, he said:

"This, you can try it first. You can think of it as a time-killing game, or as an answer."

In the sunlight outside the window, Merlin said softly:

"What is a real assassin? Where does their power come from? In the history of mankind, what role did the assassin play... All your questions can be answered from those ancient memories."

"Talia, you are also the daughter of the assassin, and you also have the blood of the assassin..."

Merlin launched a shifting spell, and his figure quickly disappeared into the room in the light distortion, but his voice still echoed in the room:

"Your father used to be a member of the Brotherhood. Listen to history carefully. Don't let him down."

After Merlin disappeared, an indifferent Thalia turned her head to look at the black Animus virtual instrument thrown on the table by Merlin. She stared at the thing with some doubt in her eyes.

Lars Al Gore never revealed information about the Brotherhood of Assassins when she was alive.

Maybe it was Thalia’s growth that made him feel disappointed, maybe it was to protect his daughter from getting involved in the eternal struggle between the Assassin and the Templars. But after Master Ninja's death, Thalia inherited the withering Alliance of Assassins, and she also learned the seemingly absurd stories from the dense volume left by her father.

She is a person...not a faithful person.

But now after seeing how the three young men defeated the Assassin's killers in the dark, Thalia is also interested in this mysterious heritage.

Maybe... maybe myths and legends should be treated with due respect, maybe, she should try, as Merlin said... to become a true assassin?

In this contradictory mentality, Thalia reached out her hand, and after confirming that the black instrument was not equipped with a bomb or other deadly mechanism, she put the virtual instrument on her head.

The white light was beating in front of her eyes, like searching for the memories and inheritance of the past in the bloodline and genes. After a few seconds, a picture unfolded in front of Talia's eyes.

The yellow sand is long, the desert is lonely, and in the dust storm covering the sky, a person with a camel is marching hard in the wind and sand.

Thalia’s third-party perspective looked at the staggering person. She thought the person’s back was familiar...

"father?"

—————————————

"Uh"

Merlin's figure appeared in the ghost base. He was already familiar with this place, so his teleport fell precisely to the destination he wanted to go.

In front of him, there is a biological research room at the bottom of the base of the ghost base. Through the glass door, you can clearly see that Dr. Moira and Miss Lilian are busy in the laboratory.

Speaking of which, the biological laboratory was supposed to be located on the first basement floor like the data room, but because of the problems of the last Dr. Moira’s experiment, most of the staff at the base had a food poisoning incident. The room was moved to a more "safe" place.

Merlin pushed open the door and walked into the laboratory.

"Hi, Lilian, the skirt is very beautiful, and it suits you well."

He greeted researcher Miss Lilian, who raised his head and gave him a sweet smile. The young botanist asked:

"Sir, are you here to inspect the work?"

"I just want to see the subordinates who work hard and encourage them by the way."

Merlin made a serious joke. He turned to look at the closed area at the back of the laboratory. His expression became more serious:

"Yes, I'm here to check the progress of the ‘Dress Up’ plan. I think you should give me some good news.”

"Come with me."

Dr. Moira, wearing a white lab coat, put down the petri dish in her hand. She flicked her hair and said to Merlin:

"It happens that the third batch of conversions is in progress. In addition, Lilian and I found some interesting things while collating A.I.M's research materials. I think you may be interested, but this can be said later."

Under the leadership of Dr. Moira on high heels, after undergoing triple identity verification, Merlin entered the conversion warehouse connected to the biological laboratory. This is a fairly empty area with nearly 30 silver-gray conversion warehouses.

The appearance of these conversion bins is like an enlarged hamster cage, but the principle of their operation is not much different from the first generation of conversion bins designed by Vivian.

The temperature here is so low that it can even make ordinary people feel cold.

Merlin walked to the front of the conversion bin closest to him. He reached out and brushed the ice mist on the glass of the conversion bin. Through the glass, he saw a young man lying in the conversion bin, in a deep sleep brought by the low temperature. Four hoses continuously transporting various liquids are connected to his body, and a special vital signs instrument monitors the conversion process in real time.

Merlin noticed that the soldier's personal information was on the nameplate next to the conversion silo.

"Experimental Body No. 76: Jack Morrison."

Merlin looked at the nameplate, and Icarus's lens quickly listed information about the soldier.

He was a captain of the Army's 107th Corps, participated in the Afghan War, retired due to injury and joined the Logistics Division of the European Division of SHIELD, and last year became a Level 4 agent because of his outstanding performance and loyalty.

Merlin looked at Jack Morrison's information. The agent applied to enter the "dress up" program because he wanted to heal his finger disability.

And the approver of his participation in the plan is... Butler.

Not at all as expected by Merlin.

"Sympathy, ha."

Merlin stared at the soldiers in the transformation warehouse, and he shook his head without paying more attention to him.

The experimental bodies included in the first phase of the dressup plan are all internal members of SHIELD. At least at this stage, Fury has not yet planned to share this body strengthening technology with other organizations. This is also Merlin's idea.

The transformation of the demon hunter was originally a mysterious magic experiment, but with the help of advanced technology and years of efforts by excellent researchers such as Moira and Lilian, SDOLD finally mastered all the variables in this ritual, Enhanced technology has finally matured, and it has entered the mass production stage.

These mass-produced versions of the Aegis Hunter are destined to be an ace in the future affairs of the Aegis Bureau.

"Lilian's talent in the field of botany is amazing. She creatively incorporated her research on plant regenerative cells into this "mutation transformation" process, making the originally painful transformation into what it is now."

In the cold conversion room, Ms. Moira whispered Merlin the progress of the ‘dressup’ plan:

"The low temperature environment caused the subject to fall asleep, and the mutation inducer was injected into the body without consciousness, but the neutralizer mixed with plant regeneration genes will also be injected at the same time."

"You should be very clear that the transformation process is actually tearing the original mortal body, with the help of heterogeneous genes, reshaping the extraordinary physique for the experiment, and injecting new, strange powers."

"This tearing process will bring terrible pain, but the plant regeneration gene neutralizers cultivated by Lilian have changed this process. It will make the cells of the human body tougher and more plastic. Complete the transformation of the body without being torn."

Ms. Moira said in a very academic tone:

"Lilian’s efforts made this originally painful and desperate transformation safer and more controllable. The first and second batches of 60 Aegis Hunter transformations were all successful, with no personality or emotional aspects. Confused."

"The only drawback is that, due to the effect of plant neutralizers, the newly born second-generation demon hunters have a slightly weaker perception of magic power than you "original", and their physical fitness and growth will also be affected. ...But they are still'super warriors' in the eyes of ordinary people, and fully meet the requirements of SHIELD."

"Ok."

Merlin nodded. In his perception, the vitality of the individuals in the 30 transformation bins in front of him is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people, but it is weaker than the first generation of demon hunters he himself transformed.

But as Moira said, S.H.I.E.L.D. needs a group of "super fighters" that can intervene in different situations. The number is a very important factor. The weakening of individual strength can be filled with the number. From this point of view, The "Dress Up" plan is undoubtedly successful.

"The production version is always a bit worse than the manual version, and the crash fighter needs more time to grow, which everyone can understand."

Merlin clapped the conversion bin on his hand. He looked back at Moira, and he asked:

"How long will it take for this group of Aegis Hunters to complete the transformation?"

"Because of the adoption of new technology, their conversion time is a little longer. About a month later, SHIELD will harvest another 30 demon hunters, then the fourth batch, the fifth batch, until the final completion The quota of 1510 people may take several years."

Moira said:

"But if you can grant us more funds and make more conversion warehouses, then the progress of the "replacement" plan will proceed faster."

"There is no need to hurry anymore."

Merlin shook his head, and he explained:

"A qualified demon hunter is not only required to complete the transformation, but to recast the extraordinary body is only the first step. They also need to learn alchemy, swordsmanship, magic seal, etc. systematically. These trainings will take a lot of time. And resources, the current progress is just right."

Looking at the silver-gray conversion bin in front of him, he said:

"Furthermore, we have mastered this technology. After the tactical system of Aegis Hunter is fully mature, we can expand at any time...it is only a matter of time."

"Ok."

Moira didn't care about her proposal being rejected, she continued to introduce the current situation of the dress-up plan to Merlin, and Merlin also followed Moira through the entire conversion room. After confirming that the "change-up" plan was steadily advanced , Merlin then marked a "√" in the column of "Dress Up" in the database of Icarus.

There are a lot of things he has to pay attention to now. Without the help of Icarus, who has strong computing power, Merlin and his assistant Sharon will be busy.

"You just said, did you find something interesting?"

After walking out of the transformation room, Merlin said to Moira:

"What is it?"

"The "Death" project."

Moira answered seriously:

"A.I.M researched the "death" variant. We have successfully restored all the steps of the project. If you feel it is necessary, we can restart this research at any time."

"Oh, I remember."

Merlin held his chin, and he said with interest:

"It's the variant of the black mist that imitates my combat mode?"

"It's kind of interesting...show me."
