"Bang"

In the wee hours of the morning, the door to the mystery house was violently pushed open, and Liana, the border queen still in her pajamas, strode into the hall.

In front of her, the Riley family has almost all the people they can fight.

Merlin sat on the couch with an electronic document in his hand. Fury sat across from him, and Raven whispered to a grumpy Lorna.

The two housewives sat on the other side, where the unconscious Laura was being treated by Xuanlan.

"I heard that my brother was replaced by those bastards?"

Liana walked up to Merlin, and she asked:

"Really?"

"It's not clear."

Merlin did not reply, as if he had not heard, and Fury, who was sitting there cross-legged, spoke:

"When Ms. Hermione sent Laura back, she relayed to us the little girl's words, and she said that she saw Logan using projections to discuss things with a group of mutants."

"Among them are your brother, Coloss, and Professor Charles, and others."

Fury glanced at Liana, and he said:

"But Logan has been determined to be a Skrull disguise, which means that there is a good chance that the guys he was discussing with were his accomplices."

Liana pursed her lips, she hadn't taken the Skrull invasion seriously.

After all, there are more than 1,000 Skrulls, no matter how much they wave, what flowers can they turn over?

But now, after her only loved one is suspected to have been replaced, Liana realizes the seriousness of the problem.

Suppressing the anger and impulsiveness in her heart, she glanced at Merlin, then turned to Fury and said:

"According to this statement, if even Professor Charles and Logan have been replaced, doesn't that mean that Utopia Island is the hardest hit area for the replacement of the Skruls?"

"It's possible."

Fury shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Because of the particularity of utopia, I didn't send agents there before, and fortunately I didn't, otherwise with the professor's ability, those agents wouldn't be able to hide at all."

"They're not that strong."

The Carol mistress, who was sitting on the side, turned back to Fury and said:

"Even if it is a close confidant of the Empress Skrull, those highest-ranking Skrull warriors can barely imitate two-thirds of the original at most of their special abilities."

Carol is the one who knows the most about the Skuruls, and her words carry a lot of weight.

And Elsa, who was sitting next to her, also spoke:

"That's true, don't scare yourself, if the Skrulls can be strong enough to fully simulate the ability, after they replace Professor X, they can easily occupy this world, where do you need to engage in any intrigues?"

"But what about Logan?"

Hermione, who had been helping Xuanlan treat Laura, turned her head and asked suspiciously:

"Although I haven't seen the specific battle process, judging from the little girl's injury and Daken's description, the Skurull's imitation of Logan's self-healing power has reached almost the same level as the original, and the combat experience is even higher than that of the original Logan."

"That's a coincidence."

Carroll earnestly explains:

"As an alien life form, the Skrulls already have a certain self-healing ability, coupled with the simulation at the molecular level, so that it has Logan's self-healing factor, and the natural effect of the two by two is extraordinary."

"The most important thing is that Dai Ken also said that the fake Logan reached some kind of agreement with the ancestral wolf Romulus a few months ago, and that ancestral wolf has been studying the secret of the self-healing factor for nearly a thousand years, and it is only natural that the fake Logan has been strengthened."

At this point, the mistress paused.

She glanced at Laura, who was unconscious, and said:

"Rather than dwelling on this particular individual, I'm more curious now about whether the sudden exposure of the fake Logan will arouse the vigilance of the Skrulls."

She looked at Fury, and she said:

"Will this have a ripple effect that will disrupt your ongoing 'hunt'?"

"That's why I'm here overnight."

Fury rubbed his forehead with a headache, and he said to the others:

"The news is blocked, but it certainly won't be hidden for long, the Skrulls also have their own internal contact system, and once the fact that Logan is dead is confirmed, the Skrulls will definitely adjust internally. The plan was completely disrupted..."

"That's a good thing."

Merlin, who had not spoken, suddenly said something that immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The projection of the Raven Maharaja placed the electronic document in his hand on the table, and he stood up and walked over to the unconscious Laura.

He reached out and stroked the little wolf girl's scarred face, and a trace of regret flashed in his blue eyes, but it was fleeting, and he said:

"That's a good thing, Fury, haven't you been struggling to seize the initiative? This unexpected event is a great opportunity! ”

"How?"

Fury looked at Merlin, waiting for his explanation.

This moment seems to go back to the scene when the director and deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D. discussed some covert operations.

"Zatanna, you are the best stage magician in the world, you tell me, what is the most important point of stage magic?"

Merlin didn't immediately answer Fury's question.

He turned to look at Miss Magician.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and she quickly replied:

"Create a point of attraction, attract attention, make them ignore my other actions... Magic, a visual scam. ”

"yes, that's it."

Raven withdrew his finger, and he said to the others:

"It doesn't really matter if Logan dies or not."

"According to the information Fury has compiled so far, the Kree attack is an established fact, and if the Skurulls are not willing to be captured and die generously, then no matter how they adjust internally, the direction of their plans will not change."

"To provoke human civilization against the Cree, to incite malice, to make two civilizations go to war, not to the death, and then they will profit from it."

"They hide in the shadows and make up a conspiracy, and the initiative is on their side, so it won't work."

The raven accentuated his voice, and he said:

"We're going to put pressure on them on the surface, force them to move faster, force them to show their feet."

"And when they are attracted to the pressure on the surface, you will have more room to act in the shadows, and you will be more calm, and the combination of light and darkness will allow the Skrulls to take the initiative to walk into the trap we have set."

"Exactly?"

Raven, whose eyes were cold, asked.

Her lovely little sister has been wounded, and the Arrogant Queen is holding back her strength to get revenge.

"Concrete..."

Merlin and Fury looked at each other.

The two old yin bi exchanged glances, and among the people seated, Fury was probably the only one who could guess Merlin's thoughts.

Well, the old yin ratios will always be attracted to each other.

"It's only been 2 hours since the fake Logan was killed, and the body of the fake Logan was brought back, and Strange handled the scene specifically, and the Skrulls couldn't find any useful information when they went there."

"As far as they're concerned, all they know now is that Logan is going after Laura, but they don't know the exact outcome, and that's the advantage."

"Fake Laura's death to make the Skrulls think that the fake Logan hunt was successful, and make them think that the identity of the fake Logan has not been revealed."

Merlin let out a sigh of relief, and said:

"Liana, you pick a time tomorrow to meet your brother, 'reveal' the news of Laura's death to Colossus, and tell it that the others are blocking the news and not telling me."

"Then, Raven, tomorrow afternoon, you take Lorna to Utopia Island, make a louder noise, and force Charles to hand over the murderer!"

"Carol can also go with him, as long as the fake Charles dares to peek into your mind, teach it a lesson!"

"Although the main body is still on the side of the angelic realm, tomorrow at midnight, the projection I left on the earth will appear in person..."

Merlin narrowed his eyes, and he said:

"Pressure, put pressure on them, enough pressure will make them adjust their strategy, Fury, you and your hunters act when they see the opportunity, I won't get involved in your affairs, you are much better at seizing opportunities than I am."

"But the fake Logan is dead."

Lorna, the silly girl, hadn't reacted yet.

She grabbed her hair and said to her brother:

"Uncle Egghead just said that the Skrulls also have their own contact system, and if they can't contact the fake Logan, no matter how similar we are, we will be exposed."

"You don't have to worry about that, girl."

Raven waved his hand, and he turned to look at the glasses lady, who noticed Merlin's eyes, and she pushed the black-rimmed glasses, and whispered:

"The communicator collected from the fake Logan is being cracked, and the language of the Skurulls, while obscure, is not much of a problem if it is simply a simulation."

"Okay, speed it up."

The Raven Lord turned his head to look at Fury, and he said:

"I wasn't going to get involved in this, I know you have a plan and you've already started to implement it. Because of the sudden chain of events caused by Laura, it is likely that the game that you could have won will fall into a losing situation. ”

"So, I'll help you, Fury."

"But I can't come forward until the last ring, there are a lot of people in hell staring at me."

"Once the old immortals notice what you're up to, they're likely to come in on a whim, like Mephistopheles, who fears nothing in the world."

"Once there are other Lords of Hell involved, it's going to be hard to wrap things up."

Merlin said to Fury:

"I'll make sure that no one interferes in this matter, so you just let it go, and let those Skrulls see how powerful the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is!"

———————————

After the others left, accompanied by Xuanlan, Merlin walked into the cage of the mystery house.

In the cell, surrounded by pillars of light, Daken, who had been knocked unconscious, had awakened.

The rebellious son of the wolf was sitting on the edge of the bed bored, playing with his bone claws, and playing with himself quite happily.

"Daken, I have to thank you for saving me from the Skruls."

Merlin levitated in front of the cage, and he looked at Dacon, who had his head bowed, and said:

"Although you had some small 'unpleasantness' before, now it seems that it should be a write-off, and I should compensate you. But I think you probably don't need to make amends, you're a proud person at heart. ”

"Where do you see the pride in my heart?"

Daken suddenly raised his head and looked at Merlin with a strange smile, and he said:

"I'm actually a person who does all kinds of evil, there is no place for dignity in my heart, and I can do anything for my goals..."

"Oh, really?"

Merlin pointed to his ear, and he said:

"But that's not what your heart says, Daken, there's no point in hiding your thoughts from my eyes, I can hear the most sincere voice from your heart."

"Don't expect that trap set for you mentally by the ancestral wolf Romulus to work... That stuff doesn't make sense to someone like me. ”

Raven Maharaja stretched out his fingers, and in the beating of the orange halo of his fingertips, he said:

"It's not some kind of mind control, it's a power you can't comprehend. Anyway, proud Wolfblood, now, I need to work with you on something. ”

"You hate your father, you hate Logan and want to kill him with your own hands, but in your heart, you also long for the real Logan to return to this world..."

"I can tell you that those who were converted by the Skrulls are not dead, but only after defeating them can the poor people be brought back."

"Logan is among them, if you want to pick up your father, then work with me."

Merlin looked at Daken and said:

"I can do this with coercive, absolutely impossible means that you can resist, but I don't want to do that, I will give you the opportunity to choose, as if you were the reward for saving Laura, fair trade."

"I want you to disguise yourself as a fake Logan and continue to contact those Skrulls to create the illusion that the fake Logan is still alive."

"It's useless!"

Daken scoffed at Merlin's plan, and he flicked his odd hairstyle and said:

"If those people can be perfectly disguised as Logan, then it means that they can perfectly disguise themselves as anyone, I don't have that ability, I can't fool them, I can't speak their language."

"None of this is a problem."

Merlin handed Daken a bracelet encrusted with red gemstones, and he said:

"This thing is called the Orb of Deception, as long as you come into contact with other people, you can temporarily change into their appearance, and the power of magic can guarantee that as long as you don't get close to the Skruls, no one will be able to detect your anomaly."

"The best thing is that in this situation, as long as you don't seek death, no Skrull will dare to approach you."

"Why?"

Daken put the orb in his hand, and he looked at Merlin, and he asked:

"Why are you so sure?"

"You've got a lot of questions, kid."

Merlin waved his hand, and he said:

"Because the Skrulls are not fools, and in the case of being hunted down by 2 Hell Lords, no Skrull fool dares to take the initiative to approach you, a hot potato... At most, they will contact you through the communicator..."

"Huh?"

Daken's eyes widened, and the non-mainstream young man said:

"2 Hell Lords? Hunt me down? ”

"Don't ask why."

With his hands behind his back and a gentle smile on his face, Merlin said to Daken:

"My friends and I will definitely be ruthless in order to ensure the effect of this 'show', so you'd better serve a snack."

"If you are really affected, then you will really die, but don't worry, the border of hell is under our control, and if you go to hell, we will send you back to continue acting."

"In order for you not to suffer more pain and suffering, I mean, Daken... You'd better think of it as a real life-or-death escape. ”

"Get ready, in 30 minutes, the battle royale begins."
