A month after the Cybertron invasion ended, Merlin's life was back on track. He was not particularly anxious at the moment, so on the first day he returned to work at Trident headquarters, Merlin began to deal with the affairs left over from the Cybertron invasion war.

In this war, not only robots fight each other, but also some other things that need to be paid attention to by Merlin.

For example, the results of the first action of the newly formed Thunder Special Attack Team.

The information brought out from the military base occupied by the Decepticons and the people brought out from there.

"Clang"

A large box was placed in Merlin's office by two agents, filled with paper documents and several hard drives filled with information. These were the information that was brought out before the base was blown up.

"Thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest."

Merlin said to two agents who were escorting the information back to New York from the ghost base. The two young agents nodded to Merlin with respect and then turned and left.

Given the nature of Merlin's work, most of the work he does is kept confidential, but just those events that can be known to others are enough to gain a lot of "fans" in S.H.E.D.

It is their nature for young people to worship heroes. In the agent industry, in SHIELD, who else can have a more legendary story than the story of Chief Merlin?

Any greatness takes time.

Merlin has been in SHIELD for almost 12 years since he entered SHIELD. He is the real veteran of this organization.

He made great contributions to the rise of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he became deputy director in his 30s. He was praised by the world's major members many times. He turned the tide in the mechanical invasion not long ago.

Fury once praised Merlin as the best elite template for S.H.E.L.D. agents, and is worth learning from.

This kind of publicity has a bit of inspiration, but as the saying goes, if a lie is repeated a hundred times, it will become the truth. What's more, Merlin has indeed done many feats that ordinary people cannot do.

Of course, Merlin himself didn't care about this. He was just doing what he thought was right and persisted until now.

"Come on, let me see."

Merlin easily lifted the box that needed two agents to lift it with one hand, placed it on the coffee table on the sofa, poured himself a glass of water, and then looked at the documents like reading a story.

These things have been backed up at the Ghost Base, and George, who works in the data room there, will be responsible for converting these things into data files and uploading them to the new database of SHIELD.

The Cybertronic data war is actually not a bad thing. At least this war reminds the big guys how backward the database model they are currently using.

S.H.I.E.D. was the first to react. With George's first-hand coordination, several databases established using new encryption technologies have been put into use.

Those databases have been shown to have strict permission systems to ensure that agents at all levels can only find what they should see in them. Looking for and keeping secrets is the duty of agents of SHIELD. As Merlin said, their existence is a wall that has always been established in the known and unknown worlds to ensure that ordinary people will not be threatened by those dangerous secrets.

"Well, most of it is about Cybertronic technology."

Merlin spent more than ten minutes browsing the documents in the box. As he expected, while cooperating with the Decepticons, the Ministry of Defense "Seventh District" has been trying to copy the magical technologies of the Cybertrons. And over the years, they have already had many research results that can be put into application.

Of course, these achievements are now "shared" to SHIELD.

None of these are things Merlin needs to care about, throwing the documents written with scientific terms aside and starting to focus on the rest.

A few years ago, after General Thaddeus Ross, who was in charge of the work in the Seventh District, resigned, Major General William Stryker, who secretly took charge of the work in the Seventh District, not only continued to maintain scientific research on the Cybertron, he also launched a research project he has been advancing.

Research on mutant abilities.

That is the "x weapon" trial that is notorious among the mutant population.

Wolverine Logan, Deadpool Wade, and even the mysterious mercenary Domino who Merlin had seen once, are the products of the experiment that lasted for a long time.

Merlin didn't know why William Stryker was trying to target mutants so crazy, but this did not prevent him from trying to solve the trouble at hand through the information about mutants compiled by William Stryker.

Merlin hasn't forgotten yet, he has an agreement with the dangerous mad attack

Crazy Attack hopes to get freedom at the thinking level, but that is something Merlin can never give him.

No one can realize better than Merlin that once he is out of trouble, the monster born in radical thinking will bring the threat of avoiding terror to the world.

But vain and delaying time are useless. The crazy attack has grown to an extremely dangerous level. Before the five-year time limit comes, he must come up with a plan.

"Heaven, no, Mr. Stryker of hell, I hope you can bring me some 'luck'."

Merlin looked through the documents in front of him and muttered softly.

Stryker has conducted three phases of x-weapon tests in the past 20 years. According to Deadpool and Wolverine, the mutants who died at Stryker's hands are already an uncountable number.

His hands were covered with blood, and it was impossible for such a scum to continue to live.

During the explosion at the Decepticon base, Wolverine took Stryker out of the base, but neither Merlin nor Fury asked about Stryker's final whereabouts.

There is no need to ask.

To be honest, there is no need to care about the final outcome of such a scumbag.

However, Logan seemed to use some less "just" means to get clues about his chaotic life from Stryker. On the way back to prison, Wolverine disappeared.

No one knows where he went, but according to the locator and life reactions that Logan carried with him, he should have gone back to Japan again

Maybe he went to find his robbed son again.

Merlin flipped through the documents, and soon a thin document caught Merlin's attention.

He put the document in his hand and read it carefully.

This is not an experimental report, but a conjecture based on x-gene research.

Judging from the stains stained on this thin document, this conjecture may have been written by a scientist casually, and it was not even submitted to the upper layer.

This also seems to mean that the feasibility of this conjecture is indeed very low, so low that even the person who wrote it does not think it will succeed.

But Merlin continued to read.

"Through repeated research on the x gene, we came to the conclusion that the x gene definitely did not appear when humans were born."

"It is a mutation that occurs due to external forces!"

"Although it is not possible to infer the original source of the x gene from the existing data, we can basically be sure that this mutation in human genes seems to be chaotic and uncontrollable, but in fact there is a set of undiscovered rules inside."

"The abilities of mutant people are strange, and the weak differences in gene chains may lead to completely different abilities. We have tried to find connections between each other in these complex and cumbersome abilities, but unfortunately, we failed, or we have new guesses."

"If we think that mutants can have all the abilities that we can imagine in theory, then is there such a ability that can affect and interfere with the release and generation of other abilities?"

Seeing this, Merlin narrowed his eyes and felt that he seemed to have seized a glimmer of hope to solve the problem.

He continued to look down.

"This is not a hypothesis based on unreasonable conjectures. Please note that in all the samples of mutants we have collected so far, the sample named Mary, numbered 478, has shown a part of this characteristic."

"No. 478 can temporarily strip away the abilities of other mutants by touching the skins of other mutants and transfer them to themselves. In theory, No. 478 can have the possibility of coexisting multiple abilities."

"And our source of guesses is the mutant ability of No. 478, which is completely opposite to the ability of mutant! Or, closed!"

"Maybe, there is a certain mutant in this world. He or she can also erase the abilities of other mutants through contact or approach, or even permanently or for a long time, so that the gene chain of mutants can restore the normal form of human beings."

"But unfortunately, so far, we have not found that mutants with this ability appear. In other words, he or she may have appeared, may have appeared at some point in the past, but may have appeared in the future. This uncertainty is too high."

"So, all in all, the idea of ​​turning other mutants back into ordinary people through their mutants' abilities is fun, but it's really hard to become a reality."

"Unless, we find that natural 'mutant killer'."

"PS: After reading my guess, Bob from the Accounting Room came up with a very interesting idea. He told me that some special mutants have family inheritance characteristics, such as the most famous family of Storm Girl Ororo. In every era of that family, a powerful mutant who can manipulate the weather will be born. This shows that the mutant's abilities can be transmitted through blood."

"Bob told me that maybe we can find the 'mutant killer' who can heal all mutants by searching for past history, but unfortunately, relying on the resources I have at hand at present, it is impossible to complete this huge project, not to mention that General Stryker is not a patient person either."

After reading this guess of nearly a thousand words, Merlin placed the document on the table, supporting his chin with one hand, and the fingers of the other hand were jumping on the table.

He was thinking, thinking about the inspiration this seemingly nonsense guess brought him.

"Cho Tan, a royal member from Yi Ren, told me that in Yi Ren's inheritance, there is a mysterious 'whip', which was the killer weapon prepared by the Kerry people to curb Yi Ren's power. The Yi Ren, who had never appeared, had a suppressive lethality against other Yi Ren, and even the hive."

"This is the insurance left by the Kerry."

Merlin whispered:

"If the x gene, if the appearance of mutants, also comes from some kind of force among the stars. If they also appear as test subjects or weapons of war, then their creators might also leave similar insurance."

"From this point of view, the content of this conjecture is actually not groundless."

"If there really exists, then a mutant can erase all the abilities of other mutants."

Merlin's eyes narrowed, he stood up and inserted the key of the mysterious house into the door lock. The next moment, he walked into the mysterious house, greeted Xuanlan, who was standing aside, then quickly walked to the fireplace, and picked up the parchment of the Dark God Book placed on the wooden rack.

He quickly wrote down a question.

"Does the mutant that can erase other mutant abilities exist?"

The next moment, a sentence appeared before Merlin.

"Yes, he exists!"

Seeing this answer, Meilin suddenly felt relieved.

But he was very restrained and did not continue asking.

It takes a price to know any secret, especially the mysterious parchment in front of him will no longer use it recklessly before Merlin fulfills all the previous promises.

It may give Merlin the whole world, but unfortunately Merlin cannot afford that price.

What's more, he still has time.

As long as that mutant exists, he will have 5 years to find him.

Of course, all this must be carried out without hiding the mad attack.

However, it would be a bit too risky to put everything on this mysterious mutant. Merlin felt that maybe he needed a plan B.

He put the parchment back on the wooden rack in front of him, and he sat in the sofa by the fireplace, looking at the thundering flames in front of him, he whispered:

"Ah, Mr. Stryker of Hell is really, thank you for your 'gift'."
Chapter completed!
