49. Between brothers (middle)
"This is the information you want."
In the office, Merlin reached out and pushed his eyes, and he looked at the transmission progress bar on the lens.
In Icarus' encrypted communication, some files are being sent to the database on the other side.
And in the projection of his lens, it was a guy wearing a sharp mask like a bat and a cloak.
That's Bruce Wayne, that's Batman, that's Avenger No. 006.
Merlin said in a serious and serious tone:
"These information cannot be leaked, Bruce, I must emphasize once, the consequences of it leak will be serious."
"I can understand."
Bruce said in a clean tone that belongs to Batman:
"I will encrypt it, and, in addition, I need kryptonite."
"I can probably guess what you want that thing for, but I can't give it to you now."
Merlin interrupted Bruce, saying:
"That thing not only has strong restraint on the Kryptonians, it has radioactivity itself, and it is very dangerous."
"Some of my friends are studying how to use it safely, and after that research is over, I will give you a message."
"Okay, then I'll wait for news."
Batman says:
"I need something else, the special metal you mentioned before, can suppress the self-healing factor."
"For Logan, ha?"
Merlin shook his head and said regretfully:
"I don't have much in my hands, but if it goes well, I will get a finished product in a while. I will lend you an analysis at that time. With the upgraded manufacturing power of Wayne Industry, it should not be difficult to copy it."
"Also, if you have time, go to Kansas and go as Batman, where there are ongoing tests that require test bodies, and that's a special armor for you."
Merlin said:
"It's one of your heroic equipment."
“I don’t need it.”
Batman said stubbornly:
"I have my armor."
"Stop making trouble!"
Merlin said:
"Think about what kind of guys your imaginary enemies are. Your armor is OK to deal with ordinary criminals. If you really want to open it, I just need to bounce my fingers to crush it."
"You need something more powerful, Bruce, this is not a request!"
Batman was silent for a moment, then nodded, and he said:
"I have some armor designs myself, but I lack the experience of fighting with more advanced enemies. If you have time, come to Gotham, I need to collect some battle data for you superhumans."
"Okay."
Merlin leaned against the chair and stretched his shoulders, he said:
"In a few days, I will go on vacation. In addition, Bruce, there is another very important thing, I want to tell you."
"Um?"
Batman on the projection tilted his head, he asked:
"What's up?"
"About Demian!"
Merlin staggered his fingers and placed them on the table, he said:
"Your kid has been harassing my sister recently, you'd better take care of him!"
“Hassment?”
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Bruce's helmet's mouth, and he said:
"It's just two children making phone calls and writing letters. Merlin, this can't be considered harassment, right?"
"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work!"
Merlin emphasized:
"You also know the energy on Damien, I sealed it, but with Damien's age, those forces that belong to the Third House will eventually return to him."
"He is not considered the son of the Three Palaces, but in theory, he is also considered the clan of the Three Palaces."
"Riwen's bloodline is very dangerous for her and Damian. I don't want the two young people to have an accident because of this. Can you understand my concerns?"
"I can, Merlin."
Bruce said:
"That's why I sent Demian to Tibet. Once, with my help, my son could suppress the darkness in his heart, but now, he himself feels that he is about to lose control, so I sent him to where I have been."
"If he can't control himself, then he has to stay there all the time. Talia will help me watch him, are you relieved?"
"Well, it's really you, you're ready for anything."
Merlin gave a thumbs up and waved, and he said:
"Then I'm relieved, oh, by the way, the last thing, can you help me with some special steel through your relationship?"
"What kind of steel do you need?"
Bruce asked:
“What are the requirements for materials?”
"First of all, the energy conductivity is better."
Merlin said:
"Secondly, flexibility must be guaranteed, and as for strength, it doesn't matter."
"Why don't you use your own channels to find it?"
Batman asked in surprise:
"You should have a wider connection than me, right?"
"Because it's a private matter, Bruce, I need to do a magic experiment with that steel, and I don't really want too many people to know about it."
Merlin explained:
"Since you are designing armor, it means you must have special channels, and your tone is very strict, so you don't need to worry about leaking the secret."
"The most important thing is that you are the richest of all the people I know."
"Okay, I'll find it for you, how much do you want?"
Bruce asked, and Merlin gestured at the finger, and he said:
"A lot of experimental materials, naturally the more the better."
"Let me get news."
Batman hung up the communication, Merlin pushed his glasses, and he clicked on the table, and Icarus quickly projected the work he was going to handle today before Merlin.
Merlin said with emotion:
"Oh, it's great to have a rich and reliable friend."
"Yes, the fair and honest Director Merlin."
Icarus whispered:
"Do you have to donate your salary next month?"
"Donate some, I can't use that much anyway."
Merlin clicked on a document before the projection, and he looked at it while saying:
"I haven't received any news from the Emperor's Organization recently. I don't know if Vivian and his friends are going smoothly in their actions to those ancient Titans, and I don't know if Vivian and Kotoze are still going smoothly in their relationship."
"The Imperial Organization seems to be conducting a large-scale scientific research operation recently."
Icarus said:
"It seems to be related to Kong. When I sorted out the documents of the Imperial Organization before, I found that they had a proposal, saying that they were planning to use cloning technology to create a partner for Kong."
"Is that nonsense?"
Merlin frowned and said:
"Although kong is likely to be the last orphan of its race, he is still underage? Is he so anxious to find a 'princess' for kong?"
"Bang, bang"
Just as Merlin's complaints ended, the knock on the door rang in the office. Merlin raised her head and saw Colson walking in.
"Colson? You're not staying in your office, why are you here for me?"
Merlin pushed his glasses and said:
“Is there anything important?”
“There is something important.”
Colson seemed to be very entangled. He hesitated for a moment, then took out a small projection device from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Merlin.
In the light and shadow, Merlin saw Colson quarrel with someone in his own garage.
After a few seconds, Colson didn't know what he did, and it directly caused the deformation of the classic car Lora parked in the garage.
This made Meilin's eyes twitch.
He probably guessed what Colson was doing here for him.
"Is this? What's going on?"
At this moment, Merlin was possessed by the drama spirit. He stood up from the office chair with a look of surprise, pointed to the projection, and said to Colson:
"What's going on with this Cybertron? Why is she at your house? If I read it right, this is your baby car, right? You even gave her a name."
"Yes, Lora."
Colson was like a child who had done something wrong. He stood in front of Merlin and said with a guilty look on his face:
"Sir, this is also the reason why I came here today. I want to confess to a major mistake I made."
"A few years ago, when the fire source incident just happened, my Che Lola had the same situation as the 'ghost' and 'murder'. She was awakened by a tinder fragment and became the first generation of intelligent weapons."
Colson raised his head, his eyes full of guilt, he said:
"But out of selfishness, I did not make Lola's matter public."
"Maybe it seems unconvincing to you, but in my opinion, Lola is like my family, she doesn't want to be known to anyone else, so I'll help her hide the secret."
"Is this how?"
Merlin pretended to be clear and wiped his chin. He sat back on the chair, thought for a moment, and then asked again:
"Then why do you have to take the initiative to reveal this secret now?"
"Because Lola's thinking is becoming more and more mature, it's like a ignorant girl growing up."
Colson showed a sad old father-like expression on his face, and he said in a tangled way:
"Lola secretly checked the files in my computer. She knew that there were mechanical life forms like her in this world. She had been secretly looking for those life forms."
"And when I didn't know, she drove herself out and wandered around, she seemed to have discovered the existence of Horus. I mean, she went to your house several times, sir."
"Ah? Is this true?"
Merlin reached out to cover her forehead to hide her surprise.
Lora has indeed occasionally come to Merlin's house secretly in recent years to chat with Merlin's knight Horus, or take Merlin around.
Her personality is no different from that of an ordinary girl. She will be bored if she stays in the garage of Coulson's house.
Lora and Merlin thought this was very concealed, but they didn't expect that Colson had discovered it long ago and he had dragged it until now.
"Yes, I had a few arguments with Lola over this."
Colson sighed and said:
"She said she didn't want to stay in the garage all the time, and she also wanted to go out and see the scenery of the world. I couldn't convince her that this secret could not be hidden, so I can only confess to you."
The next moment, Colson stood up straight and said to Merlin:
"I am willing to accept all the punishment, sir, but I request that Lola be incorporated into the mechanical combat unit of SHIELD, and form a combat squad with the 'Ghost' and 'Mutter'."
"She is right. She also has the power to make friends, and as her knight, I cannot keep her in banning her."
"Um"
Merlin rubbed his forehead and pondered for a moment, and afterwards he said to Colson:
"The incident between Lola did not cause any danger, so there is no need to punish it, but I think we should be more cautious about Lola's joining the mechanical combat unit."
"Let me talk to your car, it's time this afternoon."
"Also, Colson, didn't Lora say anything special to you?"
Merlin narrowed her eyes and placed her fingers under the table. The forgetting spell was ready to go. He looked at Colson and he asked seriously:
"Did she say something about me? Didn't you say she often goes to my house?"
"Uh, there isn't this one."
Colson said frankly:
"Lora said she only knew Horus, and Horus warned her not to get too close to you and your family, so she didn't have too much contact with your sisters."
"But sir, but your sister, little Lorna, her control over magnetism may have made her discover Lola's secret."
"Yeah?"
The forgetful spell on Merlin's finger dissipated, and he raised his hand and supported his chin, and he said:
"Well, then it seems that I'm going to have a good talk with a few girls in my family."
Watching Colson leave with relief, Merlin's expression collapsed, and he said to Icarus:
"It's so dangerous, it's just a little bit. And acting is so tiring."
"Is that so? Why do I think you are having fun with it? Merlin, you are such a perfect drama artist!"
—
At midnight, during the holiday, Dr. Ziegler, who was resting in the hotel, was suddenly awakened by the sound of his cell phone at the head of the bed.
She picked up her phone in a daze, put it in her ear, and asked in a drowsy voice:
"Hey? Who is it?"
"Dr. Ziegler?"
A very strange voice from Ziegler rang on the phone, causing all the doctor's sleepiness to be completely dispelled at this moment.
Although she is a logistics support staff member in the Watch Team, she is theoretically a special agent, and she has the vigilance that an agent should have.
"Who are you?"
The doctor asked, the man on the other end of the phone did not answer the question, and he said:
"Someone needs your help."
"I can't help you if you don't tell me who you are."
Siegler, sitting on the bed, opened the positioning and search function of his mobile phone, and this thing was included in the contact tools distributed by SHIELD.
"Hell Kitchen Warehouse No. 14, Shimada Gen is there, he is almost dead, only you can save him."
The voice said an address, and then hung up the phone neatly, causing the search program that had been started to fail.
Dr. Ziegler frowned on her face as she looked at the cell phone where the busy voice came from her hand.
"Shida Gen"
The doctor silently recited the name. This guy was the mysterious guy who was pursuing Dr. Ziegler crazy about his pursuit. Ziegler was tiresome and asked McCree to send him off.
She thought she would never hear about the name again, but unexpectedly, after the guy mysteriously disappeared for a long time, he actually appeared again.
But this news is really suspicious.
“Will this be a trap?”
Dr. Ziegler was no longer sleepy.
As a doctor, it is difficult for her to ignore a life that is about to die. What's more, although she hates it, Shimada Gen is indeed someone who has had an intersection with her.
People are always more tolerant of familiar people.
But the doctor still remains sane and she is now on vacation.
She didn't want the official power to intervene in this matter, so that the holiday she had finally got was ruined. After thinking about it, Dr. Ziegler picked up his cell phone and typed a number.
