There must be a secret between Richard and Mary, and their emotions have not been very normal since they entered the room.

Merlin felt this from the very beginning.

It seems that something bad is happening to them, or, to be about to happen.

"Brother, come with me."

Richard stood up and smiled apologetically at the others on the table. He held his wife's hand and said to Ben, who was eating. The latter raised his head and looked at his younger brother blankly. Richard said again:

"Mary and I have something urgent to tell you."

"oh."

It was supposed to be a word, but she wanted to finish the pizza in her hand, but Mei took a photo. At his wife's request, he looked at his dinner with some regret, then picked up the dining cloth, wiped his mouth, and followed his younger brother and sister into the bedroom.

The door was closed the next moment.

"They are so mysterious and sometimes mysterious between them."

May shrugged, she brushed her hair and pushed a bowl of cereal to Charlie, who was picky about vegetable salads, and she said to Charlie:

"Beautiful girl, you should eat more. It is a good thing to pay attention to your figure, but you should also pay attention to your health. Believe me, I have a deep understanding of this."

"But your figure is perfect, Mei."

Charlie looked at Mei's slender waist with some envy. She touched her own again, and she said to Mei:

"How did you maintain your figure? Can you teach me?"

"You promised to eat well in the future, and I will teach you."

Mei stretched out her finger and bounced Charlie's nose, who nodded, picked up the spoon and started dealing with the cereal in front of her.

"Sister, the pizza you make is still so delicious."

Meilin, who was sitting on the other side, gave Mei a thumbs up and ate while appreciatingly. But his attention had shifted to the diffuse dark perception.

He was listening to the voices in the bedroom.

If possible, Merlin doesn't want to use these methods to spy on the privacy of his loved ones.

But now, the Richards obviously have some secrets, and these secrets may affect their only relatives. This forced Merlin to treat them with caution.

Perceived like an invisible mist, under the control of Merlin, converged towards the bedroom.

After a moment, Richard's voice was clearly projected into Merlin's spirit.

"Ben, Mary and I are going to South America on a business trip tonight, and it may take us a long time to come back. I will leave Peter little to you first, and when we are not here, please be sure to take good care of him."

Richard spoke in a entrusted tone, and Ben's voice rang:

"Little Peter is my nephew. Richard, no need to say, May and I will take good care of him. But I always feel that you and Mary are a little strange today. Tell me honestly, is something happened?"

The house was silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, Richard's voice sounded again:

"No, brother. It's nothing. I just feel a little uncomfortable when I think about leaving my newborn son for so long."

“We are not good parents.”

Mary rang in the bedroom with a crying voice, she said:

"Maybe my son may not remember us when we came back."

"It's okay, Richard, I will take good care of Peter for you. When you and Mary come back, he will definitely be fat and fat. Maybe he will call you dad at that time."

Ben comforted his brothers and siblings, and he said optimistically:

"Just go and work, don't worry about the family. Mei likes children very much, she will definitely take good care of Peter Little."

"Well, of course I believe you and Mei, you will always be our strongest backing."

Richard said to his brother:

"I am absolutely relieved to hand Peter over to you."

The next moment, the door was pushed open.

Richard walked into the living room with his wife's hand and saw Merlin and Eric packing their tableware. They had almost eaten. The enthusiastic Mei was putting a large pot of fragrant pasta on the table, urging Charlie to eat more.

The rest of the dinner was quite smooth, with Richard and Eric talking about engineering and mechanical things. Mary, May and Charlie were discussing fashion issues in body shape and clothing.

The clock on the wall walked until 10 o'clock in the evening. The Richards and his wife were leaving. They were on a business trip tomorrow, so they had to go back and prepare for it now.

When Richards and his wife went out, Merlin said to her cousin and brother-in-law:

"It's dark outside, I'll go see Richard off, you guys stay at home."

After saying that, he walked out of the door with Richards and his wife.

There is no elevator in the apartment where Ben's house is located, so the three of them walked down the stairs.

All three were silent. Richard and his wife walked in front of each other hand, Merlin followed behind him. When they reached the corner of the second floor, Richard suddenly turned around. He looked at Merlin and then stretched out his hand:

"Richard Parker, a SHIELD Level 4 scientific research agent, I didn't expect that the famous Lord Merlin was actually my family."

"That's because you always don't come here to sit."

Merlin shrugged, and he held Richard's hand with a relaxed look on his face, and he said:

"And I often don't go to the logistics department. If I go there more frequently, we wouldn't be so strange."

"It's not your fault, Chief Merlin."

Beside Richard, Mary, who also had a smile, also stepped forward and said to Merlin:

"I am Mary Parker, a SHIELD Level 3 research agent. His disguised identity is Richard's wife, his real identity is also his wife."

"Haha, you're so humorous."

Merlin also held Mary's hand and said to the two colleagues in front of him:

"Go out for a walk together?"

"Well, actually, I also have some research questions, so I want to consult you."

Richard made a "please" gesture and said to Merlin:

"The opportunity is rare. After all, Mary's laboratory and I are far away in the mountains of Neihua State. In fact, we are not indifferent to each other, but what about the S.H.I.E.L.D., there are too many rules and holidays."

“Baseos Base?”

Merlin reported the name of the base he knew, and Richard shook his head:

"Far further than that, we are at Base 084."

"oh?"

Merlin said in surprise:

"It seems that what you are studying is indeed something amazing. As far as I know, ordinary laboratories are not qualified to be placed in Base No. 084."

"What Mary and I have been studying in recent years is indeed a shocking thing."

Richard moved his shoulders, and the scholar, who was very bookish, said to Merlin in a tone of emotion:

"The habits of those tree bees that break out of their shells are very troublesome. They are very fierce and have predatory properties far beyond the natural creatures we can understand. Most importantly, these young tree bees also have the characteristics of certain cold-blooded creatures. If you are not careful when feeding them, it will happen very dangerously. We now have to use mechanical sensors to feed them."

"etc."

Merlin stopped, and he frowned, and he looked at Richard:

"You just said, what you are studying is tree bees? I understand it correctly, is it that kind of fierce fire dragon?"

"yes."

Mary said:

"I heard that the mother sample of the tree bee was still captured by the commander, you took the agents with him. Don't you know?"

"Although the tree bee is dead, it has complete dragon eggs on its abdomen. We found those dragon eggs that still show signs of life, and successfully hatched them with the help of artificially simulated high-temperature nest environment."

"I have no idea."

Merlin rubbed his forehead with some headache, and he said:

"In fact, I just know a code name for many of the logistics department's plans. Fury is good at everything, but he is too suspicious. Even if he trusts someone, he will not tell him all the secrets."

"Oh, that's it."

Richard and his wife looked at each other, and the scientific research agent said to Merlin:

"For an old agent like Director Fury, it may be an instinct to doubt anyone. Our lab assistants are often rotated, and he will not let a scientific research assistant who is under level 3 stay in a lab for more than 6 months."

"Segmented management cannot allow every agent to know each specific action or plan content. Through a strict registration system and a complete and cumbersome division of intelligence authority, a foundation of secrets and stability is maintained."

Merlin complained:

"This is the management method that Fury advocates, the naked Cold War mentality. He is extremely fascinated by this method and is almost helpless."

"But you have to admit that it is a very efficient management method."

Richard and Merlin walked on the streets of Queens. After chatting for a few words, Richard said to Merlin:

"Mary's lab and I are about to migrate to a base in South America, and we will come back less often in the future. We have to keep our children at Ben and Mei's home. I was worried about it, but now I know that Merlin is also a member of our family, so I feel completely relieved."

Mary also smiled and said:

"With you in New York, Merlin, Peter Jr. will surely grow up safely."

"this"

Merlin said with some regret:

"Like you, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, going to a faraway place, maybe it's a few months to half a year."

He said to the Richards in front of him:

"But as long as I return to New York, you can rest assured. May is my relative, and Peter is my relative, and I will do my best to take good care of them."

"Of course we believe in you."

Richard patted Merlin on the shoulder. Although today was their first meeting, the blessing of several relationships made the relationship between the three of them quickly look like good friends.

Richard took out a key from his pocket and said to Merlin:

"I left some things in the storage locker at Base No. 084. Some of my notes and research materials are not precious, but very memorable. I originally planned to go back and get it back and put it here. But now, time is tight, so I guess I'm going to trouble you."

"Well, I'll get those things back whenever I have time."

Merlin took the keys and watched the Richards get into the car, drove into the street in the dark, and finally disappeared.

他舒了口气,不由的感慨世事无常.

Who would have thought that in SHIELD, he not only had colleagues, friends, but also family members except Colson.

But another thing Richard mentioned forced Merlin to worry.

那即是那几头幼年树蜂.

Fury is actually hiding things like this from him. Once he is deviled by the Demon France, he will find that SHIELD will raise dragons privately, and the problem will be much more serious.

There is also a saying that there is a biological invasion among magical creatures.

Tree bees are a specialty of Hungary. This fierce and aggressive fire dragon will not breed outside the mountainous areas where they live. Once the tree bees that grow up in the laboratory accidentally escape, no one knows what kind of chaos will cause.

And most importantly, there is also a Ministry of Magic in South America.

Once SHIELD is found in a South American laboratory, no one can guess what the Ministry of Magic will do if it is handled by South America.

但这件事,梅林不能直说

Because he didn't want to reveal the relationship between himself and Richard, although Fury probably already knew it.

Hell!

How many secrets did he hide from that cunning roe egg head?

梅林的内心变得烦躁了.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and looked at it. There was no number displayed on the screen, but Merlin knew who was calling.

In the night, he put the phone in his ear, and the next moment, a slightly rapid sound came over the mountain.

"Merlin! There is nothing in the Hoover Dam! You've been cheated!"

"What did you say?"

"I mean, there is nothing there, we invaded the computer program of the base. All the important information in it was transferred 5 days ago. Fortunately, we found the residual energy of the fire source, which means that the fire source is indeed in the hands of the Ministry of Defense, and we will continue to track it down, but Merlin! You have to be careful!"

飞过山的声音中有一丝严肃.

"White Hornet found some clues about you while browsing the files. Your Ministry of Defense is collecting your private information."

“我的资料是保密的.”

Merlin replied:

"Even in SHIELD's database, only a few people can view it. That's a physical encryption that you can't crack."

“这就是问题所在了,梅林.”

飞过山用一种低沉的金属声音说:

"Their computer has your separate encrypted files and physical key matching conversion codes. When we invaded the computer system, the encrypted files were being cracked in your organization, and it was obvious that someone was helping them."

"The Hornet has tampered with that document, but it won't last long, so you'd better have a way to deal with the crisis."

"Is this how?"

A sharp light flashed in Merlin's eyes. He was not afraid too much, he said:

"Thank you, fly over the mountain. I wish you to find the source of fire as quickly as possible. I'll hang up first."

梅林挂断电话,他抬起头,看着夜空.

Under the dim starlight, Merlin's mood was complicated and terrible.

这一刻,他终于确定了
Chapter completed!
