"Yes, it was proposed by Pierce."

In Fury's office, the stewed egg director looked at the serious Merlin, and he replied:

"In the beginning, it was just a rough plan. Later, after continuous revision, it became the way it is now."

Fury stared at Merlin. After a few seconds, he said:

"You feel right, one of the design ideas at the beginning of this thing is that it can be used to suppress super criminals if necessary."

"But like the question you just raised, I also have doubts. It is okay to use the insight into the mothership's firepower to deal with ordinary crimes. If it is used to deal with super criminals, it is not enough."

"But if we change our thinking, it is actually very suitable for dealing with Zhiji..."

Merlin held out his finger, stroking the document of the insight plan, and he whispered to Fury:

“I’m referring to the intelligence hubs monitoring Nubani’s side, as well as the free intelligence machines entrenched in Wakanda. Once they are out of control on a large scale, then relying on insight into the fire projection and accuracy of the mother ship, we It can solve problems in a short time."

"You are really a talent, Merlin."

As Fury's eyes lit up, he rubbed his chin and said:

"This is a good idea. We can first deploy it in East Africa as a supplement to the Smart Machine Project."

"It's fine with Zhiji."

Merlin nodded and said:

"But it's not good for human beings. I still have the same view as before. Compared with the social problems brought about by superheroes, the troubles caused by the insight plan being out of control are obviously more terrible."

"Fery, you know mine, and I'm not a perfectionist. I know that sometimes we have to cut things fast. The reason I don't like superheroes is because they always judge good and evil according to their own ideas, ignoring them. The wanton behavior of the rules."

Merlin took a step back, leaning against the window and letting the sun shine on himself, he said to Fury:

"But if we launch these defective ships into the air and decide the life and death of a large group of people according to the ideas of a small group of people, what is the difference between us and those naive heroes?"

"More importantly, how can you ensure that this thing will not be abused? If it is used as a bargaining chip to intervene between countries?"

"I trust Pierce, but the other members of the World Security Council are also people. They represent their own countries. They want to fight for their own countries. They also have six passions...that means that in extreme cases, they also have weaknesses. "

"So sorry, Fury, I won't agree with it, nor will I join it."

Merlin says:

"I'd rather use my own methods and my own methods to restrain the superheroes, to screen them, to train them. This may take a lot of time, maybe it will fail, but at least it will not cause large-scale casualties, nor Start a war."

"No need to regret, at least no need to say sorry to me."

Fury was very free and easy. After he walked back to the desk with his hands on his back, the stewed egg director turned around. He blinked at Merlin, then lowered his voice and said:

"Because in fact, I don't agree with the Insight plan..."

"Pierce is very interested in it, but I...maybe I'm too concerned about it. I always think that before our Hydra is confirmed to be cleaned, we better not send the spacecraft to the sky."

"Ok?"

Merlin asked in surprise:

"After the death of "Speaker", do you still think there is a Hydra in SHIELD?"

"no way."

Fury sat in a chair, stretched his waist, and said to Merlin:

"They will hide too much, they will hide too much, I really can't rest assured...so after a while, after a while, I will discuss this matter with Pierce."

"Merlin, the insight plan will never be our ultimate solution to the problem. In fact, even if you agree with it, I will only use it as an auxiliary means. After all, the insight plan is only for ordinary people, but look Look at the world around us, Merlin, we are witnessing the emergence of new human beings, some people can fly, tear the building freehand, and the racing cars are running fast..."

"Once their power is committed to crime, in an instant we can make the order we strive to maintain meaningless."

Fury reached out and touched his eyes covered by the blindfold. He said:

"Even I am one of them. I know what kind of result this kind of power will evolve without restraint. Maybe the times have really changed, so that I occasionally feel at a loss, at a loss..."

He leaned back in his chair and glanced at Merlin. He said:

"Merlin... Sit down, let's talk, it's rare to have time."

Merlin looked at Fury. He rarely saw this tired expression on Fury's face. In his impression, Fury had always been the kind of cold-faced, tough-blooded man.

This guy has been a military spy since he was young, and is now in his 60s. He has been working in secret work and is the real king of agents.

However, the King of Agents will grow old.

Merlin knew that Fury had recently started secretly injecting SSS serum that could maintain his youth, vitality and energy. Agent Duggan said that the serum had terrible sequelae, and he did not know that Fury could not stand it. .

People, no matter how strong and cold they are when they are young, will naturally become gentle and sensitive once they are old.

This is probably why Fury invited Merlin to chat.

Merlin was sitting in a chair. He didn't sit in the same way as before, but changed to a more comfortable posture. He reached out and shook it, throwing a magic that could isolate the sound from the office.

He took out two cigars and lost one to Fury. Fury took it and looked at the cigar. He said:

"Agents should not be immersed in this kind of food, the smell of tobacco will expose the position, especially during the lurking investigation, a ray of Mars will make the mission fail..."

"You are not on the battlefield now, you may learn to treat yourself better."

Merlin flicked his fingers, two flames hovered in front of himself and Fry, who was not skilled at placing the cigar by the fire, then took a sip and sprayed out the smoke.

The two guys were smoking like that, and after a few minutes, Fury suddenly asked:

"Merlin, S.H.I.E.D., what does it mean?"

"Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau."

Merlin spoke a series of mouthful words, and he glanced at Fury. He said:

"You got a good name, but now you call it SHIELD yourself."

"No, no, I mean, Merlin."

Fury propped his head in his hands. He looked at Merlin. He said:

"What does it mean to you?"

"Your question..."

Merlin frowned, and he didn't know how to answer Fury's question for a while, mainly because he didn't know what Fury wanted to ask.

He hesitated for a few seconds and then said:

"Well, it means a line."

"Between the real world and the more bizarre world, it means that we, the agents of SHIELD, we have to prevent people from knowing what they are not ready to know. We are all secret guards, the difference is only Everyone knows how many secrets."

"If we don't protect the secrets that should be sealed, it means that we have to protect their safety before those secrets hurt people, and people hurt themselves and the world."

Merlin flicked his finger, and he said to Fury:

"In summary, S.H.I.E.D. means maintaining order and shaping better order."

"In addition, if you have to ask, I will tell you that SHIELD is still my home..."

There was a fleeting smile on Merlin's face, and he said to Fury:

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"What does this have to do with my satisfaction? We are just chatting, Merlin, you guys, be too careful."

Fury raised his head and threw the smoke ring into the air, he asked again:

"But you just said that we maintain order, Merlin, what do you understand, and what order is maintained?"

"Your question is very strange today, Fury."

Merlin frowned and looked at Fury. He said:

"Why do you ask? Do you know something? Or do you feel something?"

"Nothing, just a sudden whim."

Fury shrugged and said:

"You know, when you are old, you always think about a lot of things, especially at this time..."

"I always feel that maybe a new era has arrived when we don't know it. Those superheroes, wisdom machines, etc., may be the signs of this era. And that is something we have never faced before... The new situation requires new ideas and new methods."

"So, let's talk, let me listen to the difference between the order you understand and what I understand. In my memory, we never seem to discuss this..."

"Ok."

Merlin nodded, he said:

"The order I think is just beautiful things, everything that makes people feel warm, and want to shed tears, I like those things, I like the feeling of being surrounded by order."

"Your understanding is too subjective."

Fury smoked a cigar. As the smoke rose, he said:

"But it doesn't sound unreasonable. After all, the concept itself doesn't have too correct answers. Merlin, after all these years, have you ever doubted your duties?"

Merlin hesitated for a few seconds. He looked at Fury. He said:

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course, I have heard enough lies."

Fury leaned back in his chair, he said:

"Speak, tell me."

"Yes, and more than once."

Merlin said frankly:

"When Mary and Richard died, I learned that there were Hydra in SHIELD, many times when I discovered that we secretly monitored the entire country, and even most of the world..."

"Oh, it seems that you are not as fearless as the rookie rumors."

Fury said with a smile:

"So you are an ordinary person."

"Yeah, I'm not a hero, but considering our current situation, you can only make up for me."

Merlin laughed. He looked at Fury. He said:

"I yearn for the coming of order, but I also know that there are always people who are committing crimes, and some people are hurting others. We try our best to save most people, but sometimes, we cannot save everything, we must accept this cruel reality, otherwise Next time, none of us can save."

"Life should be like this, a family, yours and mine, it should be in love with each other, and, a safe harbor. Yes, our work is invisible, disgraceful, and will make people bear sin, But outside of us, other people can have such a life, we can also have.

Merlin snapped his fingers and said:

"It's fair to sacrifice in return."

"You are really like me when I was young."

Fury shook his head, with a low smile on his face, he said:

"Of course, I didn't have the strange ability of you at that time. I still remember when I was as old as you, during the Cold War, I did a lot of people who were invisible, those dark, they changed me. , I remember what I wanted most at the time was that the things I did were really useful."

"I occasionally hope that someone can say "Thank you" to me for the things I did."

"Anyone who needs a decent "thank you" for doing things is a mother."

Merlin blinked. He seemed to anger Fury deliberately. He said:

""Are you really doing this job just for the thanks of others? "

"No, but I think that is what I deserve."

Fury laughed, and said:

"That's what you deserve."

"Thank you, Merlin, thank you for everything you have done for this world."

Fury's thanks made Merlin frown. He looked closely at Fury's face. After a few seconds, he said:

"You are not normal today. To be honest, I seriously doubt that you took the medicine."

"Uh, maybe it's the sequelae of just beginning to receive SSS serum."

Fury rubbed his forehead and said:

"I've always thought about these emotional issues recently...well, let's talk back to the previous question, your "Superhero Registration Act", the large-scale implementation from the beginning will definitely suffer from the expected resistance, so we Go slowly, step by step."

"I think it might be better for a semi-official civil organization to carry out such an initiative at the beginning."

Fury looked at Merlin, he said:

"Superheroes are born from ordinary people, so if we want to control them, maybe we should start with the thinking of ordinary people. I mean, if most people think that superheroes need to be controlled, then we intervene in the situation. Will become easier."

"If heroes claim to protect ordinary people, then they should learn to listen to the protected ones. Do you understand what I mean?"

"understood."

Merlin nodded, he said:

"It's still old-fashioned, subtle, customary, guiding public opinion, and splitting up, but it's very effective."

"Yes, it is like that."

Fury looked at the Superhero Registration Act in front of him, and he said:

"The world, order, the beautiful things we are guarding, because these new factors have entered the node of order and chaos, we can't just stand by and we need to help it."

"It's like we have done countless times before."
