"15 months ago, when two mutants in Tennessee'Xia Xia Zhi Yi', provoked a group of drug dealers, resulting in 6 people including them being blocked in the apartment and burned alive."

"11 months ago, an alien who had left the organization was hijacked on a passenger plane returning to Europe. He stood up and wanted to help, but he broke the plane’s deck with too much force, causing the plane to land On the sea, 27 people are missing... Basically, it can be concluded that the missing person is dead."

"Eight months ago, a group of terrorists hijacked a hotel in the Middle East. Several superhumans suspected of being remodeled wanted to succeed, but they disrupted police negotiations, forcing terrorists to detonate bombs in advance. I’m still a fan."

"Five months ago, a cruise ship was stranded on the California coastline. Someone went to help and rescued 7 people, but their actions were too rough. The ripped cruise ship lost buoyancy, allowing the remaining 11 to be rescued. People are always buried in the icy sea."

"A month ago, the gangsters in Harlem, New York broke out again. The cause of the melee was the assassination of three high-level gangs by an unknown guy. At least 49 people were injured in the melee that broke out at night, if not our non-editor. Agents Luke Cage and Jessica Jones came forward to stop the confusion, and the number of casualties will be even greater."

"Then today, two young people want to do good things...but another 17 people died in an accident."

In the office of the chief of the Trident Building, Merlin put a copy of the accident information in front of Furui, and he said:

"As the saying goes, when the good people stop standing up to stop the evil, the evil will triumph. But let's be honest, look at these events. I'd rather those "good people" who want to do good things to be safe. Stay, they intervene and make things worse."

Merlin looked at Fury and said softly:

"This group of people is doing mischief under the banner of'justice. The most terrible thing is that they think they have done nothing wrong. Fury, the World Security Council's concerns are correct. This growing "heroic move" is not What we need, we need to take some measures."

Fury didn't answer immediately. He looked at the documents on the table. After ten seconds, he looked up and looked at Merlin. He said:

"I remember, you admired Batman in Gotham before. If I remember correctly, the Gotham bat is almost the first batch of "superheroes", right?"

"It's true, I still respect him, Fury."

Merlin held his arms and said to Fury:

"Every action he can effectively stop the crime, and deliberately keep a low profile, he will never force the hero to deal with the matter that the police handles and the police can handle. The most important thing is that Batman is for any unexpected situation. All are prepared..."

"He is the template for all superheroes, everyone should learn from him, but it is a pity that not everyone who stands up to stop evil is Batman."

Merlin pointed to the document on the table and he said:

"These people...these people lack experience, lack of reason, lack of planning, all they have is the ability to not be well controlled, and the blood that is nowhere to be placed, and they are reckless and blunt thinking filled with justice, It’s just the temperament.”

"I really doubt, what are they fighting for? Is it to protect the innocent? Is it purely to do good? Or is it just for a superhero addiction? To win praise and satisfy their narrow vanity ?"

Merlin pursed his mouth and shook his head:

"It's not that I used malicious intent to try to figure them out, Fury... but unfortunately, what they did was no better than I thought."

"They beat the criminals into meat sauces with bare hands on the streets. Under the encouragement of "justice", they acted as judges, juries and executioners themselves. This is certainly very refreshing and very fulfilling, but it is a social order. Is powerfully provocative. Bad guys need reason to kill, but these heroes don't seem to need it."

"They use their own ideas rather than the rules of order as the principle of action. They do not restrain their desires at all. While fulfilling justice, they are also satisfying their growing private desires."

Speaking of which, Merlin pushed his glasses, and a projection of the file appeared in front of Fury. It was a guy dressed as a cowboy. Merlin pointed at him and said:

"This guy, three months ago, was arrested in Texas by SDOLD agents. He called himself "Robin Hood" and maintained the law and order of his community for a few months. He did a good job and sent many thieves into it. The police station. But the problem is that he is a drug addict. When maintaining order, he stole the bank's vault at least 4 times."

"And this guy, the compulsory police in Los Angeles, hooked up 15 married women in 2 months, and made 4 of them pregnant, and was finally united in the warehouse by the unbearable husbands, if not When the police go, he is expected to be killed alive."

Merlin spread his hands and said to Fury:

"So, are they good people or bad people? Protectors? Or destroyers of order?"

"That's what I want to say, Fury, people are very complicated creatures, and when there is no power, everyone keeps himself safe."

"With power, but without the will to control it, they will do a lot of ridiculous and even scornful things. Unfortunately, most ordinary people who are new to power will not take the initiative to go Restrain yourself."

Merlin whispered:

"I don't hate them to fight crime. Really, I appreciate this kind of behavior, I appreciate their courage. I also wish that group of villains die."

"But the problem is that the trouble they caused is obviously worse than what they did. You see, even Batman, who is a benchmark for superheroes, is often complained by the citizens of Gotham City, not to mention others. ?"

"A few years ago, when these "heroes" appeared, they were praised and welcomed, but now, a few years later, they have started to complain and be resisted. I don't think it is "protected" by them People are ungrateful, and a large part of this is because of their uneven quality."

"The profession of superheroes is very promising, and heroes are not something everyone can do."

Merlin murmured a lot, he looked at Fury, waiting for Fury's response.

But the stewed egg director did not answer immediately. Instead, Shi Shiran looked at the documents, he said:

"You asked a tough question. Do you have a plan?"

"Have."

Merlin says:

"I have a less mature solution, and I will bring it next time. I think it can effectively restrain this group of guys who are constantly trying on the edge of laws and rules."

"I mean, if they want to be a hero, then they have to behave like a hero."

Merlin shoved his glasses, and there was a flash of light in his eyes:

"They have to abide by the rules of the heroes, not unsupervised and wanton."

"I actually have a plan here."

Fury raised the papers on the table. He looked up and said to Merlin:

"Pearce and I noticed this problem when those superheroes were just born. We have a secret plan to advance. But I have to get his permission before I can disclose this plan to you."

"Well, Merlin, go ahead and prepare your plan. Once Pierce has given me an answer, I will send you a message as soon as possible."

"I used to think that I knew a little about the secrets of SHIELD."

Merlin stared at Fury. After a few seconds, he said:

"It seems that there are still many things I don't know, but you made preparations in advance, which is really your style."

"Well, I will wait for your news, and I also believe that you will not let me down."

He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, then said to Fury:

"Then I will go first."

"Well, go."

Fury watched Merlin push open the door and went out. He looked at the documents that Merlin had brought on the table. The director of the egg-bearing shook his head. He picked up the telephone on the table. After a while, the call rang. .

"Pierce, I plan to allow Merlin to also intervene in the "Insight" program."

Fury said to the phone:

"what do you think?"

"I proposed Merlin to join long ago, Fury."

On the other side of the phone, Alexander Pierce's voice became cheerful, and he said to Fury:

"I always think that Merlin is the most suitable person to execute and supervise the "Insight" plan. You always think that Merlin has some idealism. You think he may not accept the relatively extreme concept of the "Insight" plan."

"Merlin is still an idealist, Pierce."

Fury said:

"However, he has learned to incorporate the necessary realistic means in idealism, and the recent superhero riots around the world have made Merlin seem to be intolerable. Like us, he has also seen those lawless guys The threat of order, and he is already preparing to deal with this threat."

"of course."

Pierce exclaimed:

"Merlin has always been the protector of order. He is as eager to see the birth of a new order as it is because of the resistance to darkness in Merlin's heart. He has been fighting with the other side of himself. He has never been trapped in In the dark, as I said, he is a real hero."

"He is more worthy of praise and awards than the ignorant, stupid, pretending hypocritical heroes. Fury, Merlin will be your best successor..."

"I think I can work for a few more years."

Fury joked:

"I am not so anxious about arranging successors, but... indeed, as you said, in the current SHIELD, no one is more suitable to take over the position of director than Merlin."

"You are old too, Fury."

Pierce said softly:

"Just like me, the future belongs to such excellent young people as Merlin. We idealists, those of us who believe in order, should not be greedy for power..."

"Give him the insight plan, I believe Merlin will make the right judgment."

————————————————

After leaving from the Trident Mansion, Merlin returned directly to his home.

His sister May Riley was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Two girls, Rui Wen and Lorna, spoke with Mei. They knew about Mei’s experience today, and Laura seemed to sit heartlessly. While watching TV, the wolf girl occasionally looked back at Mei, indicating that she was also following Mei's situation.

For a child with communication difficulties, this step is already very good.

"Merlin, some things..."

When she saw Mei Lin's strange appearance in the living room, Mei put down the tea cup in her hand. She looked at her brother with many doubts in her eyes.

Her younger brother seems to have become stranger all at once.

"I confess."

Merlin raised his hands and made a surrender. He sat on the sofa and said to Mei who was watching him:

"I am not an employee of the Bridge Tunnel Authority, and I am indeed not an ordinary person..."

Merlin looked at his sister's eyes. He took out his agent's certificate and placed it on the table. He said to Mei:

"I am still an agent. To be precise, I command more than one-third of the agents in this country. I am one of their leaders."

"Besides, I am still a wizard."

He pulled out his wand again and placed it on the table.

Mei looked at something on the table blankly. After a while, she put down the glass in her hand and asked seriously:

"I can accept that you are an agent. After all, you are always in a haunt, but the wizard? Brother... Are you sure you are not talking nonsense? Is there really magic in this world?"

"You just saw how I appeared."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand to hold Mei's wrist. He and Mei appeared on the roof of a building at the next moment in the light jump of the shifting spell.

The pale-faced sister looked at the swaying ground below. She screamed and hugged Merlin like a koala. She screamed:

"Okay, I believe it, take me back! You nasty brother."

"Uh"

The two returned to the living room. Under the protection of Merlin's magic, Mei did not feel much uncomfortable, she was just a little difficult to accept the true identity of her brother.

"So the magic you performed before for Peter... is it actually magic?"

May stared at her brother, she said:

"And when Peter was missing..."

"I almost overturned New York City for the little guy. Tens of thousands of vampires died because of Peter, but they really deserve to die."

Merlin shrugged. He put his hand on Mei's cold fingers. He said:

"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't confess to you earlier, and what happened today, I should have protected you better."

"No, it's not your fault, Merlin. What happened today..."

Mei's expression also became dark, she lowered her head and said:

"I read the news, 17 people are dead, I know them... I know each of them, and although they are homeless, they are all very good people, and never hurt others because of their bad life. People. I can’t figure out, brother, why... why do they encounter such terrible things."

"This is a regrettable accident. Sister, life is always full of accidents."

"The ability not to be used properly, the responsibilities of both the protector and the protected, and the obligations that must be fulfilled when performing justice. These are all troublesome things that must be paid attention to at all times."

Merlin patted Mei's palm lightly, he comforted:

"We are already thinking of a way, and I assure you that the illusory hero will soon have nowhere to go, and such an accident will soon not happen again."
