The invasion of the base of Pagasus was quickly responded to by the headquarters of the Celestial Eye Society.

The invasion came too suddenly, and lasted too short, and by the time the reinforcements of the Celestial Eye Society arrived, the agents who had awakened from the manipulation of the Mind Gem had already begun to spontaneously clean up the collapsed ruins.

"The enemy's goal is clear, it is for the Space Stone."

Because of the aggravation of her own disease, Amanda has been unable to walk. Waller sits in a wheelchair, pushed by his most trusted mysterious agent, Alice, and monitored by several agents.

She looked at the collapsed warehouse that was being cleaned by large machinery with a calm expression, and said to the communicator next to her:

"We didn't monitor the enemy's escape route, which indicates that they have the ability to use space gems, and the gamma energy left on the site also shows this, they left directly through space transfer."

"I said it a long time ago, Waller, and it was a mistake for you to leave that thing at the base of Pagassos."

Fury's voice came from the communicator, and he said slowly:

"According to your defenses, it is only a matter of time before the gem is lost."

"Isn't that planned?"

Waller was not provoked, on the contrary, she sat in a wheelchair, supported her chin with her left hand, and asked with a blank face:

"If you think there is something wrong with our defense system, then according to the original style of S.H.I.E.L.D., when you remove all the containment items here, you should take the Space Gem with you."

"But you left it here... Doesn't that mean you're happy to see gems taken away by unknown forces? I'm just carrying a black pot for you. ”

"Don't say it so badly, Waller."

Fury was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said:

"It's not my plan either, you should understand, Waller, it's about the level of Infinity Stones' affairs, and I'm just the executor, but trust me, it's a good thing."

"Such a dangerous thing that can affect the cosmic level will only cause a lot of trouble if it remains in the hands of humans, and the Pegasus Project in '87, the Kree invasion in '94, and even the inside story of World War II have something to do with it."

"From the point of view of us ordinary agents, sending it out is the right thing to do."

Amanda. Waller listened to Fury's explanation, she glanced at the rubble being cleared in front of her, shook her head, and waved Alice to push her out of the place.

Leaning back in her wheelchair, with her eyes closed, she said to Fury:

"It's not like you, you don't care about dangerous things."

"It's Nick. Fury is old and overwhelmed? Or is some of your plans already in progress, and the loss of gems is just one of them? ”

"Huh."

In the face of the disciple's unceremonious questioning, Fury laughed dryly, and he said in a short tone:

"You can guess, but I can guarantee that the Eye of Heaven will have nothing to do with this anymore, so take care of it, Waller. In addition, the Raccoon City base has 'healing' equipment ready for you. ”

"There's not much time left for you to make a decision, if you still want to live, call me, OK?"

With that, Fury hung up the communication.

Waller didn't speak, but let her friend push her wheelchair through the dimly lit passageway, and after a few minutes, Waller began to cough violently, and her face was unusually glowing with pain.

Alice, who was behind her, immediately took out a few bottles of medicine and water to help Waller take the smile.

The black-haired Alice crouched on the side of the wheelchair, she looked at Waller with a worried gaze, and she whispered:

"You're getting weak, Waller, don't be willful, whether it's a mechanical modification or a biological experiment, it can save you, as long as you nod."

"I..."

Waller, who was pale, bit her lip, and there was a hint of stubbornness in her painful eyes, but looking at Alice's concerned gaze, she smiled hard, reached out and gently stroked Alice's hair, and then put their foreheads together.

This slightly intimate action made Alice's cheeks flush a little.

"I know you're doing it for my good."

Waller whispered:

"Originally, I was alone, but now I am not without concern, so I will think about it again."

—————————————

Merlin pushed open the door and stepped into the treatment room of the Mystery House.

In front of him, there were two creature pods that didn't fit in with the magical attire of the place, and his butler was skillfully manipulating them.

In the biological cabin, two unconscious men were placed.

Billy the "Pretty Boy" who was transformed by Hydra into a Strengthened T tyrant. Russo.

And, Frank. Kasol.

The last host of the black light virus, the hero who calls himself the "Punisher".

Both of these guys were former good friends of Merlin's.

The friendship between the three dates back 12 years ago, when Frank and Russo, then Marines, fought alongside Agent Merlin against the madmen of the Ten Rings in Afghanistan.

That memory is not far away, but for Merlin, who is now in command of a side of Hell and has begun to compete for the king of hell, that memory is as long as it was from a previous life.

Although he was in the Mystery House, he had been following Ebony Throat's theft of the Space Gem, and then Merlin was surprised to find an old friend who he hadn't seen for 12 years.

Bringing the two injured virus hosts back to the Mystery House was a breeze, and Merlin collected a few other items while watching the previous theft.

"It's broken."

Raven set his gaze on the table at hand, where there were piles of dark blue shards, like broken gems or crystals, but in reality, they were pure energy aggregates.

He reached out and picked up a piece and looked at it in front of his eyes, a faint blue light illuminating his face.

He said:

"Although it is only an energy shell used to preserve the space gem, these fragments also contain a large and mysterious energy in contact with the original stone for many years, and may be used in other ways."

"It's also nice to use as decorations."

Xuanlan walked up to Merlin, she snuggled in the raven's arms, she looked at the beautiful pieces, and said to Merlin:

"Maybe I can make it into an ornament, a bracelet, or a ring or something."

"Then use it as you like."

Merlin turned his head and kissed Xuanlan on the forehead, he didn't care what the shards were for.

It's just a bunch of energy aggregates, something not too important to the Lord of Hell.

But the time for the two to enjoy the warmth did not last long.

"Oops, it's time for little Jonathan to feed."

After more than ten seconds, Xuanlan let out a scream, she raised her wrist, looked at the time, and hurriedly kissed Merlin on the cheek, and then walked quickly out of the treatment room with the pile of debris.

She was anxious to prepare milk for her godson, and Merlin couldn't help but pout her lips because of her anxious look.

Women, it's all like this, when you have children, you forget your husband...

After Clark's son officially became Xuanlan's godson, that is, his godson, the spirit body who was originally only devoted to the Raven Lord has now shifted most of his life to little Jonathan.

Because Louise. Lian has to go to work, and the baby has been fostered in the mystery house for the last few days, which makes Xuanlan more and more like a real mother.

Merlin wasn't jealous, he wasn't a naïve man, but the feeling of being taken away from a part of the attention made His Excellency Raven a little uncomfortable.

"But this is a good thing, there must always be concerns in life, and there is no nostalgia in a pale life alone."

Merlin whispered, then turned his head to look at the bio pod in front of him, he tilted his head, looked at the former GI in the bio pod with his eyes closed, and said:

"You're right? Frank. ”

"Yes."

Lying in the creature pod, the healing punisher responded in a low tone, then opened his eyes.

He looked through a glass and looked at Merlin who appeared between the biological pods, Frank had a strange expression on his face, he was silent for a few seconds, and then let out a long breath, and said:

"Long time no see, Agent Merlin."

"Long time no see, Frank. Kasol, or I should call you the Punisher. ”

Merlin looked at Frank, and he frowned and said:

"But it's good for old friends to meet, why keep your head down and don't dare to look at me? Afraid I'll find out your 'little secret'? ”

"I just..."

Frank, in the biopod, looked up, glanced at Merlin's eyes, and then glanced to the side.

The raven's eyes were so sharp that it was as if he was looking at a mirror, and all the hidden emotions and secrets in his heart seemed to be hidden.

This made Frank, who was already self-doubting, a little uncomfortable.

"Click"

Merlin reached out and pulled open the pod, and in the white squirt of cold gas, Frank walked out of the pod with his arm moving.

The black light virus in his body is frantically warning the host away from the dangerous raven.

But emotions are telling Frank that Merlin is trustworthy, and this contradiction on the physical and psychological levels keeps Frank standing by Merlin's side.

He didn't know what to do, so he looked a little at a loss.

"I said..."

Merlin raised his hand and placed it on Frank's shoulder, and he said:

"Do you have something unspeakable in your heart? Do you want to tell me, although I am not a psychiatrist, but as the old saying goes, sharing apples, one and a half, and sharing troubles is the same. ”

"Come, let's have a good talk, friend."

With that, Merlin turned and walked in the direction of the hall, Frank hesitated in place, he glanced back at Russo, who was being repaired, and after confirming that his brother was not in danger, he looked at the figure of the raven and strode after him.

Moments later, in the hall, two old friends sat on either side of the couch, and the ghost servants brought delicious refreshments to the burning fireplace.

Merlin looked at Frank as the Punisher's gaze rested on the flames burning beside him, which took on a pulsating phantom in his black eyes.

"I... I'm doubting myself. ”

After a dozen seconds of silence, Frank. Casor took the initiative to speak:

"I've been hiding from my former friends, not connecting with you, not staying at home much, Lisa and little Frank have been complaining that I don't care about them, no... I'm a father, how could I not care about my children. ”

"My wife, Maria, had just undergone her third surgery and was able to get out of bed and move around, and I would love to stay with her, but I couldn't. Maria may have sensed my anomaly as well. ”

This once resolute and unyielding soldier was very melancholy at this time.

He whispered:

"She never urged me to go back, every time I talked on the phone, she encouraged me, she said that the door would always be open for me as long as I wanted, no matter what I had been through in the past, but..."

Frank hesitated for a moment, as if he were afraid to disturb something, and said:

"But my experience is something I don't dare to tell them."

"I can't let them know that there's something dangerous in my body, and I can't even be sure if I'm the real Frank or if it's just a dead shell."

Frank looked back at Merlin, he touched his heart, felt his beating heart, and said:

"I often dream, but none of them belong to me, Merlin, and I will incarnate strangers in my dreams, looking back at their lives, and those people are enemies consumed by the black light."

"Their bodies and beings become a part of me, making me no longer pure, perhaps, the so-called 'Frank. Kasol' is just one of those devoured, and I'm just pretending to be that character. ”

The soldier gritted his teeth, and he said in a jerky tone:

"The love of Mary, the anticipation and attachment of the children, the warmth of family, those things I longed for, maybe never belonged to me."

"I'm just a monster that was created."

"Hmm..."

Merlin held a cup of tea, his eyes fixed on Frank, looking through flesh and blood to see the soul of his old friend.

The Raven Lord frowned, and beneath the extremely activated flesh of the Black Light Virus, he saw a large and chaotic soul, as Frank said, soul fragments from others, in a symbiotic way, existing in the soul of his own body.

This symbiosis made the soul's appearance look very ugly and indescribable.

"You're a monster, that's right."

Raven withdrew his gaze, took a sip of tea, crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and said slowly:

"You need to accept the appeasement of your soul, and you can't swallow other lives at will, your soul is already a little overwhelmed, and if you continue like this, in less than 2 years, you will fall into madness due to the conflict of wills and become a real monster."

"My sisters killed Albert with their own hands. Wesker, you've probably heard of the name, he's the first blacklight host, the same kind as you, and I don't think you want to know how ugly the blacklight virus is when it's out of control. ”

Merlin knocked on the table and said to Frank in front of him:

"But my advice to you is that you can think of your doubts from the other side."

"If you instinctively sustain Frank. Casul's appearance, your perception tells you to be Frank. Casul, you also have all the memories and emotions of Frank..."

"Well, you're Frank. Casor himself, just infected with some 'disease'. ”

Raven shrugged his shoulders, and he smiled, and he said:

"If you are sick, go for treatment, but don't turn away family and friends because of your own reasons. After all, you are only one step away from losing yourself, and if I were you, I would cling to my last pillar. ”

"So it seems to me that you really have only one problem, Frank."

The raven tilted his head, and he said:

"No matter who you think you are, what you are, in your heart, have you ever had a will..."

"You really want to be Frank. Casor? ”
