The first half of 2009 was spent in a very delicate atmosphere.

The people of New York seem to have forgotten everything that happened half a year ago.

They are still busy with their lives, just like no matter good or bad things, everything will pass in time.

Forgotten.

Or be remembered first and then forgotten.

But in the seemingly calm city, some things are no longer as good as before. What happened in the past makes the world unable to return to the past.

Just as the relationship between mutants and humans became tense again, although both sides were still very restrained, a monument commemorating the deceased had been erected on a street in Queens.

That was to commemorate the 179 innocent mutants who died in the chaos of New York.

Everyone knows who killed those mutants.

But under the circumstances at that time, it was difficult for them to blame the perpetrators.

Another example is the New York Heroes Association...

Organizations that were once popular have become a past tense.

In the second month of the disaster in New York, despite many supporters petitioning the official, the association and its branches in other cities still declared disbandment.

In addition to the indelible destruction of the heroes who were controlled in disasters to the city.

In addition to the heroes' own inner self-blame.

There are more profound factors in this matter.

After all, this organization is a semi-official organization. After the disappearance of SHIELD, which is backstage, and the new organization Sky Eye will take over the defense of supernatural affairs in North America, the necessity of this organization's existence will be greatly discounted.

The attitude of the Sky Eye and SHIELD toward superpowered people is completely different.

Or to put it more clearly.

Amanda Waller's attitude towards superhumanity is different from Merlin Riley.

For people outside the New York area, too many things have happened in the past six months.

The Colorado evacuation operation, which lasted more than four months, just ended more than a month ago.

Those who were evacuated from the infection prevention zone were assigned to live elsewhere.

And all kinds of sensational rumors spread throughout the country along with them.

About Raccoon City, About Viruses, About Zombies, About Resident Evil...

etc.

In these 6 months, at least in this continent, it is really not peaceful.

"I'm back."

Commander Maria Hill, standing in front of a tombstone in a cemetery outside New York, whispered:

"Sorry, I'm a little late, but there are a lot of things in Raccoon City..."

The commander, who was thinner than half a year ago, wore a black windbreaker.

The original short hair has also grown long, and the long chestnut hair is flying in the already warm wind.

She put her hands in her pockets and looked at the simple tombstone in front of her.

The place was cleaned very clean, and when Hill came, several bouquets of white flowers had been placed in front of the tombstone.

On those flowers there are small cards that read:

"Thanks to Raven."

This should be sent by those people who were sent to Sulfur Port for refuge in the disaster half a year ago.

At that time, the Assassin Brotherhood suppressed the executives of the ready-to-go reserve in the name of ravens, forcing them to open the road to the sulphur port and let the panicked people take refuge.

The number of people in that group was about 100,000, and they were told that it was ravens who protected them.

Before his death, the clown uploaded some information from the big database to the Internet. Although the official quickly cleared the information, the news about the mysterious raven is Merlin. Riley has spread.

The official did not deny this either.

After that, citizens always send flowers in front of Merlin's tombstone.

This is gratitude.

"They haven't forgotten you."

Hill looked at the flowers swaying in the wind, and she smiled and said:

"After all, there are some people who are a little conscience, right?"

The commander stretched out his hand and stroked the cold tombstone in front of her. She closed her eyes and said softly:

"I know, you must be still worried about the raccoon city..."

"Don't worry, the innocent people over there have been rescued. They have been placed in a new place and started a new life."

"The city was abandoned, the surrounding mountains and plains were blocked, and the primary infected people were almost cleaned up, but there were still some alienated monsters hiding in the ruins and mountains."

Hill was like reporting a mission to Merlin, she said:

"There are still people who are there to hold on to prevent them from running out and causing trouble."

"Oh, by the way, 1 month ago, I disbanded s..l.d...."

"Those people stayed there for more than five months because of your order, and we sacrificed some of our companions, but fortunately the mission was finally completed."

"Many people don't want to leave. I think they don't miss the dangers of raccoon city. No one wants to stay there. I think they just don't want to go back to the world of ordinary people..."

"We are out of place with them after all."

Hill chuckled, she was afraid to take the tombstone, she said:

"I introduced those guys who don't want to leave to other departments. They are all very popular. Merlin, the demon hunting agents you have trained are like hot items, and are snatched by others."

"Some people went to the Sky Eye Society, some went to F. and .a, some were recruited by the Ministry of Defense, and some were also taken away by the witch hunters in Europe, and some chose to join the French Society and the British Ministry of Magic."

"You don't need to worry about everyone's livelihoods, everyone has a new future."

"There are those who stayed, including me, you don't need to worry about our lives. After the official ended the assistance, Black Light Investment Company and Wayne Group took over the assistance to us."

Hill said:

"What about us, we have changed from an official organization to a private research organization..."

"Your friends are very energetic. We have lived there more than we have at S.H.E.L.D.."

"Dimon, that's always a bit of a demon with you. I hope we can develop special vaccines to solve some of the things that happened in hell."

"Well, look at what I'm saying now, Merlin, Half Demon, Hell..."

"I'm no longer an ordinary person, just like you."

Hill smiled, she withdrew her fingers and plucked her long hair, she said:

"Stuck left me a senior executive position in his group, but I declined him."

"Colson also refused to recruit from Wayne Industries and the Lakes Group. He was stubborn and stubborn. He said he would never leave there without your orders..."

"So, Merlin."

Hill sighed, she put her hand back into her pocket, she looked at the tombstone, silent for several seconds, and finally, she said:

"I'm all right, you don't have to worry..."

"Just a little lonely..."

"You'll be back, right?"

"You won't let me wait, right?"

Hill's voice swayed in the wind, no one answered her, only a rustling sound.

"He won't."

A few seconds later, another woman said behind Hill:

"He will not leave behind those who miss him and love him, he will not have it before and will not have it in the future."

Hill turned around and saw Ms. Carol walking towards her, who had a handful of white flowers in her hand, and it seemed that she was also here to worship Merlin.

When Hill saw Carol, he was a little panicked.

It's like being accidentally knocked out by his wife when he was having an affair with his husband.

Although this description is not very...

appropriate.

"I know he has a lot of lovers..."

Carol was very calm, she said:

"Are you one of them?"

"I'm not!"

Hill immediately retorted, she said:

"We are just colleagues and friends. I have absolutely no relationship with him."

"colleague?"

Carol placed the flowers in front of the tombstone, she stood up and glanced at Hill, and she said:

"It doesn't feel very similar, but it doesn't matter."

Carol stood beside Hill, and she whispered:

"Compared to the issue of how much debt he has caused, I just want him to come back now... the family is almost in trouble. If he doesn't come back, something big will happen."

"Um?"

Hill glanced at Carol in surprise and asked:

"Are they Merlin's sisters?"

"right."

Carol said helplessly:

"There are very bad girls. They are planning something. They don't tell me, but they sneak out at night... playing some games of drag fighting in the city."

"I heard that in recent days, seven executives in New York's heterogeneous reserves have been assassinated."

Hill blinked, she said:

"Did they do it?"

“Not all.”

Carol said calmly:

"After Merlin left, the aliens in New York City were very restless. I have read past documents. Ravens have suppressed them too hard for the past decade, so they are now bounced back."

"Those dead executives are unwilling to continue to cooperate with the Sky Eye who is trying to control the situation. They are seriously inclined to go alone. They begin to blatantly violate the constraints set by Merlin... It is also expected that the children are full of righteous indignation."

"They killed 4 of the most happy people who danced."

Captain Marvel had a smile on his lips, and she said:

"The action is accurate and the movements are fast. Before the storm blows, the Supreme Family is also working with them."

"The Supreme Grand Duke, who seemed a little confused with Merlin, also cooperated with the children's actions."

"It's worthy of being Merlin's sister... It's amazing."

"What about the remaining 3?"

Hill plucked her hair and she asked:

"The remaining 3 executives are... Oh, I get it, you can kill, right?"

Hill narrowed her eyes and said:

"Although I haven't returned to New York for a long time, I still have some friends here. I heard from them that you doting on Merlin's sisters very much. You have helped them deal with a lot of trouble in the past six months."

"spoil?"

Carol shook her head, she sighed, and she said:

"How can it be called spoiling?"

"The children lost their brothers because of this world. This is what the world owes them. Those aliens dare to put their targets on them. They are seeking death, aren't they?"

"not to mention..."

Carol looked at the tombstone in front of her and said:

"I don't want Merlin to have a destruction of the peace heritage left by her."

"He wants to see peace and order, which is a trivial request, and I have never rejected him..."

"You just said the kids were planning something dangerous?"

Hill asked:

"Aren't you going to stop it?"

"Why should I stop it?"

Carol turned his head and looked at Hill, she said:

"Some anger cannot be buried in your heart. The longer you suppress it, the deeper the entanglements of those inner demons."

"When you are angry, you will make a war cry and completely burst out the flames accumulated in your heart."

"Only in this way can they win peace of mind and continue to live their lives."

"It is natural for children to avenge their loved ones. What reason do I have to stop them?"

"Aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble?"

Hill said:

"Aren't you afraid that they will mess with people they can't afford?"

"Can't you afford to mess with me?"

Carol pursed her lips and said:

"Don't worry, Maria Hill, many people are paying attention to these children. Not only me, but also believe me, in this world..."

"There is no one they can't afford to offend!"

Carol's words made Hill blink, but she did not refute.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Carol raised his wrist and looked at the time. She said to Hill:

"I may have to 'go out' later. Now there is still some time. Do you want to have a couple of drinks? Let's talk."

"In what name? Ms. Carol."

Hill said:

"I have to rush back to Raccoon City in the afternoon. If I'm going to be late, I have to have some reasons."

"Just in his name."

Carol pointed to Merlin's tombstone and said:

"I want to hear the story between you and my boyfriend, too."

"This sounds weird."

Hill shrugged and she said to Carol:

"Go to Josie's bar?"

"Well, just go there."

Two women with complex relationships walk out of the cemetery.

In the sunlight, a black car was waiting for them.

After the two ladies got into the car, the car turned silently and then merged into the city.

But before the quiet cemetery had calmed down for a few minutes, another visitor arrived.

Miss Zatanna, wearing a small suit, fishnet stockings and high boots, and wearing a magician's hat, also walked into the place with a bouquet of flowers.

She looked at the flowers in front of Meilin's tombstone, blinked in surprise, and then sniffed again.

There is still a pleasant perfume smell in place, and there is more than one...

Merlin...

Are you still thinking about so many girls after you die?
