Merlin is a keen person.
Whether it is Ms. Carter, Nick Fury, or Pierce himself, Merlin is almost born to be an agent.
In his early years, his life of great displacement and fusion with the deep darkness within him brought him a sharper sense than ordinary people.
And those things experienced during the wandering process, those people, also set up a fairly correct value for Merlin.
He wants to do good, and he has the ability to do good.
Doing good is not difficult. It is rare to do it all the time and treat it as a career in adulthood.
Merlin spent more than ten years at S.H.I.E.L.D., who had witnessed the most debilitating period of S.H.I.E.D., during that time, he learned tolerance and low-key.
In the resurgence of S.H.I.E.L.D., Merlin followed Carol Danfoss in an attack, almost alone, and ushered in the hope of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the World Security Council.
Later, with the step-by-step expansion of SHIELD, Merlin also occupied a high position.
He built the supernatural affairs monitoring and interference system for S.H.I.E.L.D. from scratch, and set up a new order for this alien land together with the North American Magic Congress.
His experience is a legend, and what is even more commendable is that even after entering the management who sits in the office every day, Merlin still has not let his senses degenerate.
He is still as sharp as he was when he was young, like the best hunter.
Pierce had been mentally prepared for the fake Fury exposure.
He didn't think how long that crappy fake could hide Merlin, but he didn't expect that the guy was exposed so fast!
Hell, this is less than a month?
This month, Merlin has been dealing with frequent supernatural affairs all over the world, and has met with the counterfeit goods no more than 5 times, just like this...
He was still exposed.
And listening to Merlin's meaning, he seemed to feel abnormal from that guy's insistence on the insight plan.
Those alien **** claim to be the most cunning group of pretenders among the stars, but are they so unskilled even to lie? It can be guessed in a few words...
Do not.
Pierce shook his head slightly.
Things are not so simple.
If you think about it, Merlin's character may indeed quarrel with Fury when he sees Fury reopen the insight plan, but this Deputy Director of SHIELD is not a person who is used to solving problems through quarrels.
When he rarely gets out of control, he is always restrained and sensible.
So, the reason why the two men will quarrel so fiercely this afternoon is actually Merlin guiding in secret?
Is he verifying his guess?
Pierce sat on the sofa, and he looked at Merlin, who was frowning and thinking.
Well, it is not impossible.
Fake Fury was exposed in advance, which made Pierce a little caught off guard, but this is not a bad thing.
At least he did not put him in extreme passiveness.
He leaned on his cane and quietly looked at Merlin. Under his old body, his thoughts were jumping fast.
"Merlin's thoughts were led to the Skuru people. Hearing what he meant, he decided not to move, and set a trap for fake Fury and his associates."
"Until Carol Danvers returned from the stars, he was sweeping them all away, um, it really was his style."
"But it takes a month."
"Carroll Danvers, the lady who could stand alone against the Cree’s battleship formation more than a decade ago, would only be more terrifying in a decade...if she was dragged back, once she intervened in this Things, then the variables will increase too much."
Pierce, who was sitting on the sofa, regained his thoughts on one side, and he frowned slightly and thought:
"That is to say, before Merlin was strongly aided and fake Fury was completely exposed, there was still a month to complete all the arrangements..."
"Time is a little tight, but the problem should not be big."
"Using the Golden Apple can allow Fake Fury to continue to advance the insight plan, but also use him to attract Merlin's attention and more easily arrange the rest..."
"No, no, the tyrant's loss of control has proved that Merlin has enough resources in his hand to track many targets at the same time. At the critical moment, it is no longer allowed to make mistakes that underestimate the enemy."
"So, you have to find something for Merlin to do... It's not enough to fake Fry alone."
Thinking of this, Pierce decided to dig deep, he frowned and asked:
"If Fury is really replaced, then one month is enough for him to do a lot of things."
"For example, the Insight Plan. I talked to him about this. The first phase of his plan is probably not just the three air-to-air carriers in the Nubany Industrial Park."
"You also know how terrible the results will be once the project is executed. I mean, maybe we should prepare early."
"indeed."
Merlin nodded, he said:
"According to the construction speed of those three motherships, one month is really enough for him to make more...but this is not a bad thing."
"Ok?"
Pierce looked at Merlin in surprise:
"You mean, do you want to let the insight plan be pushed forward? Did Fury convince you?"
"No, he just reminded me."
Merlin says:
"Although his strong words are very disgusting, there is one thing he did not say wrong."
"According to the information we have received before, around 2012, that is, three years later, there will be a special astronomical situation that will happen once every 5000 years, called "Skyball Interchange."
There was a trace of worry on Merlin's face. He said:
"When that phenomenon occurs, thousands of dimensions in the universe will be penetrated by special energy, just as thousands of oil tankers on the sea collide with each other."
"Collisions in space are all secondary issues, and extremely terrible intrusions will definitely occur by then."
"Actually, according to the frequency of supernatural phenomena that S.D.O.L.D. has been monitoring worldwide, the signs of heterogeneous invasion have already appeared before the celestial intersection."
"Those frequent supernatural events will only increase in the next 3 years, peaking in 2012, and then slowly falling back... This process may continue for 10 years or even longer."
Merlin moved his finger, he said to Pierce:
"We really have to prepare in advance..."
"The insight plan cannot be used to deal with public security incidents around the world. Direct trials without interrogation will result in the death of many people, which is tantamount to destroying the rule of law and order that we have been insisting on."
"But it can be used to resist the invasion of foreign enemies."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He spread his hands and said to Pierce:
"There is also an intelligent weapon project that has entered the final stage. The fifth impact of the source of fire will inevitably produce more free intelligent weapons than ever before. That will be the final stage of the impact of intelligent weapon events on order."
"Relying solely on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s monitoring around the world may not be sufficient to deal with this global incident.
"So, let him make it."
"The more he builds, the more cards we will face in the face of such emergencies in the future. The advantage of the insight program is that it can be launched into the air at any time, just like plug and play..."
Merlin reached out and stroked his eyes. He said to Pierce:
"In fact, if the heterogeneous invasion during the celestial sphere meets into normalization, then we are expected to take the initiative to produce more insight motherships in the future."
"Oh, this idea is good."
A smile appeared on Pierce's face, and he was both relieved and awkward at the moment.
Fortunately, Merlin finally recognized the insight system he proposed, although his starting point was very different from Pierce's starting point.
But from his point of view, the insight system should continue to be promoted in the future, and truly become a part of the defense force of the order system.
But what is awkward is that Merlin did not consider using it to maintain order in the world at all.
Merlin only regarded the insight system as a weapon, an external weapon.
But in fact, it can do more.
In Pierce's mind, the insight system can completely resist the foreign enemy while maintaining order stability within the world, and there is no conflict between these two things.
If Pierce is given more time, he is confident he can convince Merlin to try, but the problem is...
3 years.
Merlin may not launch the first batch of insightful motherships until 3 years later, and Pierce...
Can he wait another 3 years?
The old man touched his already skinny wrist, plus he had signed a contract with the devil, no doubt, he could not wait for 3 years.
It's a shame, that's what fate does.
"I will apologize to Fury tomorrow."
Merlin reached out and picked up the tea cup on the table. He took a sip of the cold tea and said to Pierce:
"I will not intervene in the relationship between him and the insight plan, but I will continue to pay attention to him, all this will happen in secret."
"If it is confirmed that he is a fake, then we have to confirm whether the real Fury is already before attacking them..."
Speaking of which, Merlin's tone became low and sullen.
Neither he nor Pierce spoke again.
If Fury is really dead, it means that the two people lost a common friend in the past unknown.
But if he is still alive, then Merlin will definitely rescue him!
No matter where he is...
"You have to be prepared, Merlin."
A few minutes later, Pierce reached out and patted on Merlin’s wrist. The old man said softly to Merlin:
"If Fury is false, then your succession is justified."
"If Fury is true, after making such a stubborn and unthinking decision, he is obviously not suitable for continuing to serve as the director of SHIELD. I will give him a decent retirement ceremony."
Pierce said to Merlin with absolute sincerity:
"So one month later, no matter what the outcome is, you really have to take over the SHIELD. This is a heavy responsibility, a terrible burden, not to mention that a bad era is coming..."
"Can I still trust you? Merlin."
Pierce asked.
Merlin looked into the old man's eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.
"Will you, as in the past, unswervingly maintain order and regard this drudgery as a lifetime cause?"
"No matter what kind of pressure or difficulties you face, can you stick to your heart and do the right thing?"
"Do you carry the safety of the entire world on your shoulders and carry the burden of the well-being of countless people?"
Pierce leaned on his cane. He looked at Merlin and asked one question after another with a serious expression.
This changed Merlin's expression, he said:
"What is this doing? Pierce... are you making me swear? When did you believe this?"
"Oath is a must."
Pierce said:
"A lot of people think that becoming a secret agent is becoming a running dog of the official and powerful, and dealing with some inexplicable troubles for the powerful all day long."
"Like stupid people always think that there is no real justice and axioms in this world, and use narrow and paranoid thoughts to hate everything in this world."
"But only we know..."
"This is a job that needs an ideal to support. When we choose to carry that heavy responsibility in the dark, only the ideal can support us to continue."
"And for ideals..."
Pierce took a breath and said:
"Isn't it right to make an oath?"
There was a smile on his old face. He looked at Merlin like he looked at his juniors. He said:
"Remember the moment we encountered the Cree invasion, what did I say to you?"
"Ok."
Merlin nodded, his memory was good, he said softly:
"This world needs a new order in order to get rid of its muddled future. We must realize the imperfection of this world, and then use both hands to push it towards a better future."
"You also said that you are a person of faith, and you want me to be a person of faith."
"That's what I expected from the industry's rising stars."
Pierce waved his hand and said to Merlin seriously:
"And now, you are already a person of faith, and you have walked with me on the same road."
"And you, you will eventually inherit the faith that I and Frey had adhered to."
"You will be our successor and continue to adhere to the order of this world in the future...and let the new order come."
"Merlin, every old man wants to see a good heir before he dies. This is human nature."
Pierce raised his cane, as if joking, as if performing a ritual, tapping on Merlin's shoulders, his smile with a trace of seriousness.
He says:
"And you..."
"Just the best and most perfect successor I can find."
Ps:
Thank you for your concern, rest assured, the story line will not be affected, after all, the old author~
The fact is that the style of the web is not suitable for this heavy story.
The rhythm of the previous story is indeed a bit problematic, but rest assured, this is the final heavy pressure plot.
I promise!
