"There is a large-scale spatial disturbance in the Mexican region, with a radiation area of 76.87 square kilometers, and the range of runaway is still expanding, and the energy level is rising rapidly."

Beneath the ground of the 21st Century Bell Telephone Company, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Occult Affairs Surveillance Defense and Logistics Support Department.

Abbreviated as S.. In L.D.'s department headquarters, the shrill sound of warning echoed through the surveillance room.

On a magically shaped world map, a red punctuation dot shines in the Gulf of Mexico, representing a massive disturbance of unknown energy.

It could be a rupture at the spatial level, or it could be a biological invasion from another dimension.

Or maybe some of the dead tried dangerous experiments that led to extremely bad consequences.

This kind of thing was rare in previous times, but as a particular date draws closer, this kind of bad thing has become commonplace.

In the shrill siren, the staff of the entire monitoring room were busy according to the normal process.

Several teams of demon-hunting agents as close as the Gulf of Mexico were mobilized, and a special response unit deployed in Florida was ordered.

"The energy has broken through the limit, the level of the situation has changed, and it is currently an A-level situation!"

An agent with headphones shouted, indicating that the situation was getting worse.

The atmosphere in the monitoring room also became more tense.

A few minutes later, Agent Coulson, dressed in a crisp suit, strode into the surveillance room.

This S.. L.D.'s current head had just gotten the news, and he looked at the spreading red areas on the magic map in front of him, and asked in a deep voice:

"Is the energy type confirmed?"

"It's confirmed, sir."

The agent at his hand replied:

"It's an M-3 energy reaction!"

"Oh, it's related to the alien."

Coulson nodded, and he looked at the surveillance screen on the other side, where three teams of demon hunters had begun to enter the anomalous energy zone with the help of the leprechauns.

In the footage of the recorder they carried, Coulson could see many twisted and hideous magical creatures jumping out of the black halo on the surface of the sea.

Most of them have the appearance of alien creatures, some resemble werewolves or vampires, and some beholder-like creatures scurrying around the air.

It looked chaotic.

But the Demon Hunters were experts in dealing with this anomaly, and they, led by the three commanders, soon set up oversized magical traps on the coast.

Use the overlap of dozens of Arden's seals to lock the monsters that jumped out of the other space in the anomaly zone.

"Air support will arrive in 4 minutes!"

The voice of the communications agent rang out, and on the magic map in front of Coulson's eyes, the aircraft icon of 2 formations took off from the base in Florida.

It was the 2 Quint fighter combat formations of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Special Response Force.

They will be responsible for killing the invading aliens in the blockade zone, and sending off the creatures of the other dimension with a dense sea bombardment.

"The anomalous disturbance energy level is still rising."

But Coulson was not so optimistic.

He frowned as he looked at the ever-expanding black aperture on the screen, and after a moment, Coulson turned his head and said to Agent Lincoln beside him:

"Request for assistance from the Wizarding Congress, I need wizards to go to the Runaway Zone and seal those rifts before the space is completely out of balance."

"Yes, sir."

Agent Lincoln nodded, and he turned to leave.

Ten minutes later, at the same moment that the Kun-style fighter formation had completed its bombing mission, in the light of the large-scale teleportation technique, more than a dozen wizards dressed in different costumes appeared in the blockade area.

Faced with the constant black halo spreading on the surface of the sea, the wizards quickly took measures.

The light of several large exorcism spells quickly spread to the surface of the sea, expelling the aliens who were still rushing out of the black light back to their original world.

With the help of the Demon Hunters, several circles were set up along the coastline to counter energy and stabilize space.

"The anomalous energy level is decreasing!"

In the monitoring room, the communications agent in charge of monitoring the scene shouted:

"The countermeasures were successful! A-Class Situation Over! ”

The next moment, the atmosphere in the monitoring room became relaxed. Once again, L.D. stopped a terrible supernatural event, and once again they saved a city.

But Coulson didn't show too much joy either.

He said to the agent next to him:

"File the incident, then submit it to the big database, rule the logistics department, send out the cleanup team, and clean up the sea."

After speaking, Coulson took one last look at the surveillance footage of the scene, the black light that represented the shattering of space was rapidly closing, and the sea was full of mess left behind after the bombing.

The entire sea was covered with those alien stumps and severed arms, and the strange blood they flowed out stained the sea surface with flowers.

A state of affairs like today's is S. L.D. has been a daily routine for the past few years.

Since S.H.I.E.L.D.'s law enforcement powers expanded from North America to most of the world, S.H.I. L.D. also underwent several expansions.

It has gone from being a medium-sized department during Merlin's time to one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s largest subordinate agencies.

But in the face of increasingly frequent paranormal events around the world, Secretary Coulson's resources are still very stretched.

Minister Coulson, who has a distinctive hairline, returned to his office, sat in his chair and thought about it, then looked up some data on his computer, and finally called a phone number with a frown.

Moments later, the phone was connected.

"Coulson, I've taken note of the A-Class Incident Report you just submitted to the Big Database."

The voice of Merlin, deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., rang in Coulson's ears, and he said:

"Well done."

"Just following the normal process, sir, it's not to be appreciated."

Coulson said very modestly, he paused, and then said:

"But sir, my request to expand the Aegrail Witcher staff, which I submitted 1 week ago, hasn't been approved... It's been stuck in the review process for more than 4 days! ”

Coulson Says:

"I know that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal resources are also very tight, but due to the influence of the 'Celestial Sphere Convergence', the frequency of supernatural events around the world has almost doubled in recent times..."

"2,000 Demon Hunters are just exhausted!"

"More than two-thirds of the agents have been on the job for three months straight, and the number of casualties is rising. L.D. is in dire need of a fresh boost! ”

"Huh? Unapproved? ”

Merlin's bewildered nasal voice came as he said:

"I was the first to approve your application... How can you get stuck in the review process? ”

"Huh?"

Coulson was also stunned for a moment.

Merlin is S. L.D.'s direct manager, theoretically all applications from this department must be reviewed by Merlin, and he thought that Merlin was stuck on the application.

But now it seems, things are not simple.

"I'll deal with it, Coulson, you stabilize the situation first."

Merlin whispered:

"It will take at least half a year for the new batch of Aegis Demon Hunters to be selected and formed, and it will not quench your thirst far from water, if you really need help, I suggest you contact the European Ministry of Magic."

"As far as I know, the frequent occurrence of the paranormal has also caused several ministries of magic in Europe to find it tricky, and if you send an invitation at this time, I don't think those old-fashioned European wizards will be less likely to turn it down."

Merlin Says:

"Partnering with them would greatly reduce the cost of S. L.D. Working pressure in the European region. ”

"In addition, there are registered heroes of the Hero Association, which can also be used as a help when dealing with supernatural situations, as well as X-Men, Inhuman Organization Afterlife, etc., these are all powers that you can call."

Merlin said to Coulson:

"I'll send them an invitation in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D., but how to fight them together, that's the question you have to think about and solve..."

"Oh, by the way, Ciel's Aegis command ship has completed its first voyage and is back in port."

"That ship is currently under my command, and I will inform Hill that the combat force of the Aegis Command Ship will also join S. . L.D.。 ”

"It couldn't be better."

Coulson's frown loosened at this moment, and he said to Merlin:

"With the support of an aerospace carrier, at least in North America, we will be under a lot less pressure... Thank you, sir. ”

"Thank you for what I did."

Merlin smiled and said:

"It's my job to help you who are fighting on the front line to solve your worries... Now, go ahead and get busy, and I'll take over the selection and training of the second batch of witchers. ”

"Okay, sir, goodbye."

Coulson hung up the communication, and Coulson's kind face disappeared from the lens in front of Merlin's eyes.

The moment the phone hung up, Merlin's expression became serious.

"Icarus, inquire about the review process for the Aegis Witcher's expansion plan."

Leaning back in his office chair, Merlin said:

"I've approved it, and according to the normal workflow, the plan should have entered the implementation process."

"Wait a minute."

Icarus executed the search query procedure, and in the bounce of the data stream, about S. The official follow-up of L.D.'s Witcher Expansion Plan was quickly completed.

But when Icarus projected the current state of the document into Merlin's eyes, Merlin frowned deeply.

"Fury?"

The proposal that should have been implemented is currently being "shelved", and the handler...

It's Nick. Fury.

"The reason for the shelving is that there is a mismatch between the investment and the return, which will cause a huge waste of resources..."

Merlin read the words, and the doubts in his eyes were even greater, and he said:

"What the hell is this."

"The 'change of clothes' plan of the first batch of Aegis Demon Hunters was promoted by him himself! How did it become a 'waste of resources' now? ”

"Is Fury's last eye blind too? Couldn't he see what the 2,000 Asq.i.l.d. Witchers had accomplished over the years? ”

"Maybe it's because of Nick. Fury has other plans. ”

Icarus, projecting several documents onto Merlin's lenses, said:

"When I was searching for the documents just now, I found several very interesting documents from the director's office."

"Nick. The day after Fury completed the spine surgery, he began to draw a large amount of money from the Ornic Group, and the Nubani Industrial Park also suspended the production of smart products in favor of a 10-level project with a level of secrecy..."

"And this, a proposal approval order for the Imperial Organization."

Icarus Says:

"The Aegis command ship commanded by Agent Hill seems to have a special mission on its first voyage."

"Above all, Merlin, these orders are kept secret."

The artificial intelligence lady said to Merlin:

"Theoretically, all actions related to the Wisdom Machine and the Imperial Organization must be approved by you, and this is the scope of your work."

"But many of them bypass the normal workflow and aren't submitted to you... Instead, after the director's approval, it directly entered the implementation process. ”

"So..."

Merlin narrowed his eyes and looked at the files on the lenses that were encrypted with Level 10 clearance, and he said:

"Fury is starting to do something from us again... Unblock them, Icarus! I also have level 10 clearance. ”

"Unblocking failed."

Icarus Says:

"I tried them just now, but they were locked by Fury's personal authority as the director, and only Fury could open them. Obviously, he didn't want anyone else to see it. ”

"Hmm..."

Merlin pondered for a moment, then stood up and reached out to the black trench coat hanging from the hanger.

Beowulf made a grunting sound, quickly jumped into Merlin's palm, and then quickly extended into the shape of a trench coat.

Merlin pushed his glasses, he picked up the Blood Jade Cane, and said:

"Then let's go and see what the hell Fury is up to."

"Huh"

In the distortion of light, Merlin's figure disappeared into the office, and when he reappeared, he stood on the deck of the Aegis command ship resting in the secret S.H.I.E.L.D. dock.

The helicarrier is hovering in an underground dock, and ground crews are cleaning it up.

Merlin didn't alarm the others, he hid in the shadows in the corner, quickly spreading his senses, and soon, in the helicarrier's containment vault, Merlin found some residual breath.

It belongs to the beast, and it's quite familiar.

He used the Transfiguration Charm to reach the containment vault and threw a spell that swept across the chamber like a blue light curtain.

A moment later, a tuft of brown hair was collected, and Merlin held it in his hand.

“KONG...”

Merlin looked at the hair in his hand.

He quickly confirmed the source of the hairs, which immediately reminded Merlin of the conversation he had had with Vivien a few months earlier.

At the time, he rejected the Imperial Order's bold offer to interfere with the reproduction of the Ancient Titans, but it now appears that the proposal was approved by Fury.

And without Merlin's complete knowledge, the space carrier has already completed the capture of KONG.

"It's crazy!"

Merlin clenched his fingers, a coldness flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, his figure disappeared again, and through an ultra-long teleportation, he came to the industrial area of Nubani, located on the edge of the Nigerian savannah.

The moment Merlin appeared in the Smart Tower, a piercing warning sounded in the Smart Tower.

Moments later, a group of heavily armed combat mechanized soldiers, led by Agent Hitwell, stormed the construction workshop beneath the tower, surrounding the invaders.

Merlin stood there with his cane, looking at the project under intense construction in front of him, and he didn't say a word.

And behind him, the new assistant to the director, the bald Japas . Agent Hitwell couldn't help but shudder the moment he saw Merlin's back.

"Tell Fury!"

Merlin ignored the Robot soldiers around him who were aiming their weapons at him, and in a cold voice, he said to Hitvel agent behind him:

"I'm waiting for him here..."

"About what's in front of you... I need an explanation! ”
