The newly established S.H.I.E.L.D. inherited the mission and responsibility of its predecessor, the Legion of Strategic Science.

It is not just a simple intelligence organization. Just as Fury recovered dangerous Green Bells from Chicago in 1989, Merlin's organization also has the responsibility to contain, monitor and preserve dangerous items.

And in this organization, there are signs that represent different meanings.

084, it is one of them.

In the system of the Strategic Science Legion, 084 represents a dangerous supernatural thing that cannot be used or studied. Every item 084 will be kept in the most appropriate way.

And the 084 items are also rare.

The original item No. 084 was a mysterious item collected by Ms. Carter from the end of World War II. It is said that once the thing touches any life, something terrifying will happen.

In the decades from World War II to the present, the Strategic Science Legion has also collected many 084 items, such as the Green Bell in Chicago, which is the No. 89084-1 item, representing the first 084 item collected in 1989.

As for Meilin

His code name in the Strategic Science Legion was 89084-2.

Of course, he only learned about this after joining S.H.E.L.D.

A day later, Merlin returned to the Imperial Villa on the coast of the edge of Skull Island.

He returned secretly, deliberately bypassed the observers of the Imperial Organization Mark and Emma, ​​and appeared in Dr. Serizawa's office in an abrupt manner.

"I discovered something."

Meilin said, shocking Dr. Serizawa, who was sitting on the chair and writing hard. The Japanese biologist subconsciously covered his heart and looked at Meilin with a terrifying look.

"Can you knock on the door next time?"

Dr. Serizawa, who took more than ten seconds to calm down, said to Meilin angrily:

“I have a bad heart.”

After saying that, he reached out to take the photo handed over by Merlin. The photos taken in the dark were not effective. Merlin was not a professional cameraman, and the photos were blurry.

But when Dr. Serizawa saw the skeletons emitting fluorescent light in the darkness in the photo, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

“Where did you take this?”

He asked with a serious face, Merlin pointed at her feet, and he said:

"The underground, about 200 meters deep from the ground, is just under the nests of the skeleton lizards, where there is a huge tunnel deeper into the ground. I didn't go down to explore, but I think this should be the passage you have been looking for, the underground world, it is on Skull Island."

"The nest of the skeleton lizard?"

Dr. Serizawa took off his glasses and stared at the photo in his hand. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the fluorescent emitted by the bones on the photo, and said to Merlin:

"Did you see these light spots?"

"Um."

Merlin nodded, and he was also wondering why these bones shone in the dark.

"This is a trace left by long-term growth in the nuclear radiation environment. These skeletons are faintly radioactive, and there is no doubt about it."

"radioactivity?"

Merlin's face changed slightly, this is not a good word.

"don’t worry."

Dr. Serizawa probably saw Merlin's concerns, and he explained:

"No longer-term contact, such radioactive skeletons will not have a bad impact on humans. In fact, the photos you brought back just prove the Imperial Organization's speculation about the living environment of the ancient Titans."

"Tell me, we still have some time."

Merlin looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Serizawa:

"Tomorrow morning, I will take Doris out of Skull Island, and I don't want to alarm anyone else."

"Um."

Shiro Serizawa nodded:

"I didn't tell you to Vivian and the others."

“That is, you have made a decision?”

Meilin looked at Serizawa, the latter nodded, shook his head again, and he said seriously:

"I want to meet your boss first. If what you told me is indeed the future plans of your institution, then I think maybe the Imperial Organization can try to cooperate with you."

"So, in 7 days, Fury will be waiting for you at the cafe at Bangkok Airport in Thailand."

Merlin pulled open the chair and sat opposite Dr. Serizawa.

He handed a specific address to the doctor of biology in front of him, who put the note in his pocket.

He looked at the dark photo in front of him, he organized the language, then pointed to the fluorescence of the photo, and explained to Merlin:

"Just a day ago, the carbon-14 detection of the volcanic rock we removed from Raton was completed. The rock on Raton appeared much older than we predicted that it would be more than 100,000 years. After repeated discussions between Vivian and Emma, ​​we believe that the rock should have come from the Permian."

"To be precise, it was nearly 260 million years ago."

"Just kidding?"

Merlin widened his eyes and said:

"You mean, Raton has been sealed in a volcano for nearly 260 million years? Such a large creature has been sleeping for 200 million years without eating or drinking. Doesn't it need to be supplemented with nutrients?"

"If the time you detected was right, then it should have been damned."

“拉顿当然需要进食!”

Dr. Serizawa shook his head, he strengthened his tone and said in an excited tone that the researcher should have:

"But the eating of the Titans is a different concept from what we imagine. Laton has been 'eating' for 200 million years of dormant, and this is what it eats!"

As he spoke, his fingers clicked on Merlin's photo.

"The energy radiated by radioactive elements is the 'food' of Raton and other sleeping Titans!"

"I still have some doubts, but the photo you brought has proved everything! The Titans, including Godzilla, all survive with nuclear energy, or atomic energy!"

"This is the only speculation that could explain the birth of Titan."

Dr. Serizawa emphasized his tone and said to Merlin:

"You also know how huge Godzilla is. If it really relies on flesh and blood to survive and meet the heat demand of such a huge body, then the creatures in the entire ocean would probably have become extinct tens of millions of years ago."

Dr. Serizawa moves his fingers:

"I even have a more amazing guess. Raton, when the flame Titan was sealing itself, its body might not be so huge. At that time, it was probably an ordinary Permian giant creature, but for 200 million years, the continuous ingestion of radiation from the earth's center world made its body mutate and become extremely huge."

"Merlin, this theory can perfectly explain how those ancient Titans survived the Permian extinction!"

A trace of splendor flashed in Dr. Serizawa's eyes. He took the globe on the table excitedly, pointed to the map, and explained to Merlin:

"The hollow world of mantle layer under our feet must have been formed at that time!"

"The research of geologists shows that the Permian crust movement was very active 250 million years ago. The continuous impact of the sections allowed the rich atomic energy activity on the earth's surface to rapidly subside, thus extincting 95% of the life in the Permian by destroying the ecology."

"But in the hollow world formed by crust activity, there may still be air and environment as rich in atomic energy as the Permian."

Shiro Serizawa waved the photos of Merlin, he said:

"This is the evidence! Look at these radioactive bones! The creatures in the underground world must have grown up in an atomic energy-rich environment!"

"They are likely descendants of huge creatures living in the Permian. Their ancestors were sealed underground by various methods, or coincidences, during the mass extinction of organisms that occurred at the end of the Permian period, thus escaping the disaster in the mass extinction."

"Those Titans, Godzilla, Raton, they survived in that environment!"

"Under the radiation of atomic energy, they evolved bit by bit over a long period of time. I guess they must have organs like an atomic furnace in their bodies that can generate huge heat energy by themselves, which can explain why Raton was sealed for 200 million years but is still alive."

Serizawa became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up and walked around the desk. Obviously, his mind was moving rapidly, based on his outstanding research, and the photo sent by Merlin was the heaviest key to unlocking the secrets of ancient Titans.

The secrets about the birth of those Titans have been completely outlined in Dr. Serizawa's mind.

But Merlin still has problems. He knocked on the table and said to the excited doctor of biology in front of him:

"But Raton was found on the ground. It may not come from the hollow world beneath the mantle layer."

Dr. Serizawa took out the photo of Raton from the drawer. He looked at the huge creature of fear. He smiled and said to Merlin:

"As for what will happen to Laton on the surface, we might as well make a bold guess."

"Over the long time, the sleeping Raton was involved in the movement of the earth's crust, slowly pushed from the ground, and finally, by chance, we discovered it! Wait! I know, our previous guess about Raton was wrong!"

The PhD in Biology put Raton's photo on the table, and he sat in a chair and thought for several minutes before Merlin said:

"It's not that volcano that made Raton."

"It was the heat that was constantly radiating from Raton's body that formed the active volcano on Mona Island!"

Dr. Serizawa gritted his teeth and said:

"Even if it is sleeping, it still has enough power to change the world. We underestimated the rattle before."

"Okay, Doctor."

Merlin is not a real biologist, and he has not studied much in geology.
