When Merlin received the news, it was already early the next morning.

After learning that all four symbiotes had been sent to the ghost base, he took Sharon to Kansas.

"Sharon, I heard you've been having some trouble with Steve lately?"

Merlin said to his assistant as he walked to the lab:

"What the hell is going on? Is it convenient to talk about it? ”

"Nothing."

Sharon grimaced and replied to Merlin:

"There's something wrong with that person."

“？”

Merlin looked at Sharon in amazement, and he said:

"Steve provoked you?"

"No, but he's punching bags in the basement every night, it's really annoying, he doesn't need to rest, I need it!"

Sharon said dissatisfied:

"It's useless to say it many times, I know he's uncomfortable, and anyone who has that kind of experience like him will feel uncomfortable and find it difficult to adapt."

"I wanted to help him, but he didn't want to talk to me about those things... It's as if he can only survive on those memories, like a stubborn, hopeless bastard. ”

“......”

Merlin looked at her chattering subordinates in silence, and after a few minutes, Sharon had finished chattering and venting her frustration, and she noticed the strange gaze of her boss.

She touched her face and asked:

"Is there anything on my face?"

"Nope."

Merlin Says:

"But you have a secret in your heart... Do you like Steve? ”

"Nope! How could it be! Sir, don't talk nonsense! ”

Sharon took a sharp step back, and she said to Merlin in a fierce tone:

"Who likes an old man in his 90s? My explanation is normal. ”

"Oh, that looks like it."

Merlin shook his head, he continued to walk forward, Sharon followed him, the two did not say anything more, until they came to the front of the biological laboratory of the ghost base, Merlin turned around, and he said to Sharon in a serious voice:

"There's nothing wrong with liking someone, you've lived together for the past few years, and it's normal for some relationships to develop, not to mention that you're still facing a man like Steve."

"Although I hate to admit it, Steve is really masculine. Personally, I would love to see something develop between you, and as a friend, I hope you can find a good man. ”

"Sharon, I'm going to warn you."

Merlin whispered:

"Steve couldn't let go of his feelings for Ms. Carter, the feelings he imprinted so deep that he had to hold on to them tightly to continue to live in an era that didn't belong to him, but... But, remember, Sharon, Ms. Carter has let go. ”

"I can't tell you more, but I can tell you that Steve is just unrequited love right now, and he actually understands that himself, so you have a good chance."

A strange smile appeared on the face of the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he looked at Sharon's face, which was very similar to Ms. Carter's, he reached out and patted Sharon's shoulder, and whispered encouragement:

"Work hard, take that old man under your skirt, I'm sure you can do it, and you should do it too, if Steve can't completely let go of the past, it's hard for him to really adapt to this era, it's hard to really be the Captain America we need..."

"A soldier who always wants to go back to the past is just a deserter."

"So it's for his good, too."

Merlin thought for a moment, and he said to Sharon:

"Well, I'll give you a week's off, go out for a walk, and think about it."

"It's not an agent mission, and I'm not interested in letting my subordinates use beauty to complete the mission, it's a matter between you and Steve, and I don't interfere."

"Alright, you can go back to the Trident Mansion to hand over work."

Merlin waved his hand to the silent Sharon, and said:

"And don't be burdened, trust me, your aunt will love to see you and Steve together... After all, she had already won in the past, and from the moment Steve woke up, he was already a freshman, and it had nothing to do with Ms. Carter. ”

With that, Merlin turned around and pushed open the door to the biology lab and walked inside.

Agent Sharon froze in place, and the secret hidden in her heart was revealed by Merlin, which made Sharon a little flustered and a little embarrassed, but as an agent and witcher, her emotions quickly recovered.

She straightened her clothes and glanced at Merlin in the lab, she pursed her lips.

"Sir, you're sometimes, really... It's so nasty! ”

——————————

"It's dying, isn't it?"

In Moira's lab, Merlin looked at the red symbiote contained in a cylindrical biopod with his hands behind his back.

The thing rolled around in the creature chamber like a strange cloud of slime, and it seemed to be in pain, shivering, and still showing burns on its body.

And in the face of Merlin's question, Moira, who was standing beside him, said:

"It's not that easy to die."

The doctor of biology snorted, and she said with great interest:

"You've really found something really good for me this time, it's a surprise! I loved the surprise, the life forms of these alien creatures are really strange, this is really a creature beyond the impoverished imagination of humans. ”

"They're called symbiotes."

Merlin pushed his glasses and said:

"They're dangerous."

"Anything powerful will appear dangerous, Merlin."

Dr. Moira reached out and opened the valve parallel to the containment chamber in front of him, and soon a mouse was sent into the containment chamber.

Under Merlin's gaze, the trembling red slime soon seemed to have found its target, and it moved rapidly, and when it got close to the mouse, it stretched out its tentacles like a snake, as if it was observing the creature.

In the next second, it pounced, wrapped the mouse, and then dissolved into the small body of the mouse as if by magic.

"Look!"

Moira pointed to the computer at the edge of the containment chamber, where the life signals representing the existence of the guinea pigs were rapidly fading.

"It's devouring it... Repairing one's own damage in this way is like an efficient digestive process, it can convert almost any flesh into the nutrients it needs, and this transformation efficiency is extremely efficient. ”

On that computer screen, the Demon Hunters and Carlton, who was covered in symbiotes, were still playing. The scene of Drake's battle, Merlin looked at the glittering picture, and said:

"It's ugly."

"What?"

Moira didn't hear Merlin clearly, she looked at Merlin suspiciously, who shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the screen, and said:

"I mean, the form of this symbiote suit is ugly..."

"Obviously, this crazy rich man didn't really have a symbiosis with the symbiote, he was just controlled by this thing, just like the relationship between a rider and a mount, even if he escaped last night, he would be finally digested by this symbiote."

"You seem to know a lot about symbiotes, Merlin."

Dr. Moira removed her protective eye for research, and she looked at Merlin in confusion, and said:

"Where did you learn about this?"

"I'm a wizard, Moira."

Merlin turned his head and gave Moira a mysterious smile, and he said:

"Wizards always have many ways to get the knowledge they need, and of course, if you're interested, I can tell you everything about the symbiote right now..."

"No, I'm not interested!"

Moira raised her hands and crossed them in a gesture of refusal, and she said:

"Problem-solving is half the fun, and I won't let you deprive me of the fun of research. Merlin, why don't you go and look around somewhere else? When I've figured out the secrets of the symbiote, I'll give you that information. ”

"Okay, that's going to drive people out."

Merlin Says:

"You're such a ruthless person, Moira, George was just transferred back from Nubani, I think you should go to dinner with him... You're a couple after all, even if it's just in name. ”

"No time!"

Moira said as she typed the characters on the keyboard:

"It doesn't matter to me that he goes on any date with a big ass chick, as long as I'm there for me when I need it, and I'm very open in this regard."

"And what is love? It's nothing more than some hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, but we're not beasts controlled by instinct... Why are you still here? ”

Seeing Moira enter a frenzied state of work, Merlin shrugged his shoulders, and no longer bothered the mad woman, he followed the passage at the edge of the laboratory to a large containment chamber.

He looked at the unconscious man in the containment chamber.

Eddie. Bullock.

The unlucky guy who had interviewed him several times before, but all of them had his memory washed away, he was quite impressed by this reporter, because this guy was even willing to accept Merlin's oblivion curse in order to pursue the truth.

There are many journalists who claim that their job is to find the truth, but there are not many who can do it like Eddie.

Well, that stubborn Miss Louise might be like that, too.

But Eddie's situation is not good, actually, it is bad.

In Merlin's vision, he could see that Eddie's life force was shrinking, and his heart had shrunk by two punches from its normal form, to the size of a fist, and it looked very strange.

His endocrine condition also seems to be abnormal, and his liver has even disappeared, and under Icarus's observation, Eddie in this form should have died a long time ago, but he is still alive.

There was something in his body, something that kept him alive.

That's another symbiote...

A very strange guy, he didn't eat Eddie's flesh and blood, and even used his own strength to help Eddie "get fit".

The reporter now has muscles comparable to those of a fitness trainer.

Well, it seems that it is going to stay for a long time, so I cleaned up the "room" to make myself more comfortable.

"Turn it on."

Merlin rubbed his chin as if considering what to do with Eddie, and after a moment, he pushed his glasses and said to Icarus:

"I'd like to talk to Mr. Eddie."

"It's dangerous, Merlin."

Icarus warned:

"Judging from the battle between the demon hunters and it last night, the power of this guy's punch in the symbiote form is at least 10 tons or more."

"Is it only 10 tons?"

Merlin was surprised and said:

"No, in my understanding of the symbiote, in its fully symbiotic form, its strength should be no less than 50 tons, so it's really weak, right?"

"Click"

The door to the large bio pod opened at this moment, and Merlin stepped inside.

Eddie. Brock lay on the ground in front of him, and Eddie's eyes snapped open the moment Merlin stepped into the pod, but there were no pupils or eyeballs in them, replaced by a strange, compound eye-like substance.

Under Merlin's gaze, the guy jumped up from the ground in a strange posture, and the black slime quickly rolled out of Eddie's body, constantly stretching, pulling out strange silk threads, like some kind of weird candy stuck together, and like hairy disgusting slime.

In short, the scene is difficult to describe, somewhat disgusting, very scary.

Almost instantly, the black liquid formed a bumpy skin like a dark stratum corneum on Eddie's body, and it felt smooth under the light.

It wrapped around Eddie's torso, giving his arms, legs, and torso a muscular sense of power.

Beyond the strange skin, there were white, tattoo-like patches, and on his head, the symbiote formed a full-covered helmet, and his eyes became the same gray compound eye structure, with the same weird markings around the eyes.

This guy, he... No, it.

It straightened up in front of Merlin's eyes, like a black giant, its hands outstretched, its fingers full of hideous claws, and its mouth was so large that it was covered with strangely sharp teeth, which looked like shark's teeth.

There is also a constantly shaking tongue that seems to be free to retract and is covered in disgusting mucus.

Heavy, crazy, twisted, hideous, this was the first impression that the creature in front of him left on Merlin.

It also speaks...

"The liver, spleen, and stomach are all delicious, but unfortunately, we don't have much time..."

It twitched its nose as if it were sniffing Merlin, intimidating Merlin with a strange muddy voice, and its twisted tongue seemed to want to lick Merlin's face.

Merlin stood still, as if he had been stupefied.

But that's not the case.

"Ahem."

Merlin coughed twice, and he said to the symbiote in front of him:

"You're so ugly... Alien gangsters. ”

"Come and say hello to your pretty companion."

Goo-goo-goo.

Under Merlin's indulgence, Beowulf, who had been silent, quickly covered Merlin's body, and a terrifying and hideous back slowly stood up in the large biological cabin.

The momentum pressed the black symbiote that was still full of nonsense just now and kept retreating.

Beowulf, an ancient xenomorph from ancient times who was personally shaped by the symbiote god Nar, can't wait to have a good "chat" with the arrogant little character who dares to threaten his host and doesn't understand the rules at all.

Well...

It might hurt a bit.
