At dawn, Merlin was taken to the entrance of a villa in Brooklyn by a luxury car.

He was wearing his gray casual suit that would never be dirty, with some gifts in his hand. That was Pierce prepared for him, and I heard that Ms. Carter's situation was not very good recently, so this time, Merlin was also a substitute for Chief Pierce to visit the old boss.

When Merlin arrived, a young, somewhat familiar lady was already waiting for him at the entrance of the villa.

"Hello, Mr. Merlin."

The young, maybe only 20-year-old lady led Merlin in the front, she was very polite.

"When I last met, there was no time to ask."

Merlin said softly:

"You and Ms. Carter, are you?"

"I am Aunt Carter's niece."

This lady, who has 6 points similar to Ms. Carter, turned to look at Merlin. She smiled and said:

"Just call me Sharon."

She opened the door for Merlin and said softly:

"Go, Mr. Merlin, aunt is waiting for you."

"Well, thank you."

Merlin whispered gratitude to Miss Sharon, then handed her the gift in her hand and walked into the living room of the villa.

After entering the living room, he noticed that there were many photos hanging on the wall of the villa.

There are pictures of Ms. Carter who was young and handsome and Howard Stark, there are also pictures of Ms. Carter holding Tony Stark when she was young, and pictures of Ms. Carter when she was alone in the office. .

The photos are arranged in a certain order. Ms. Carter in the photos is more and more mature and older, and seems more lonely, always alone.

But at the end of the photo wall, in the last one, Ms. Carter regained her youth, like a sudden turn, and like a sealed, best memory.

In the photo, she smiled and embraced a young man who was also laughing.

The young man was wearing a warrior uniform from World War II. He held a round shield with a five-pointed star in his hand.

He has blond hair, big eyes and a handsome face.

This is a black and white photo, the background of the photo seems to be on the battlefield.

Before Merlin stood in the photo, he could probably guess the identity of this soldier, the most legendary superhero in history, Captain America Steve Rogers.

Ms. Carter is also a man who devoted her life.

Unfortunately, he disappeared in 1945, and until now, there is no news.

"Steve doesn't actually like this photo..."

Ms. Carter’s voice came from the living room. In her weak voice, with a trace of indelible memory, she said:

"He always thinks that the photographer didn't take his hair well. But I like it very much. In fact, I don't have many choices. When we were together, we basically spent on the battlefield without leaving a few photos. . I can only choose one of the best."

"It's actually perfect."

Merlin took another look at the photo, and he said:

"It's like the best memories, deep in my heart, and never fade."

"Oh, you young man, really speak."

Ms. Carter smiled. She said:

"Come in, Merlin."

Merlin walked quietly into the living room. He sat on the sofa opposite Ms. Carter, and didn't seem restrained.

In Oakland a few years ago, he met Ms. Carter. At that time, the woman had black hair mixed with some white hair, but now, her hair is completely white and her face has wrinkles.

It looks like it's like a teenager that has aged overnight.

She was weak, she leaned on the sofa, she had an infusion tube in her arm, and a respirator was inserted in her nostril. But those eyes were still gentle and bright, just like they were a few years ago.

Ms. Carter looked at Merlin. She smiled a little and said humorously:

"The doctor said that I can't be here for a long time, so we are pressed for time. Did you know? Always used to visit me. He would bring a lot of bad news and seek my advice, which annoys me. They just It’s not that an elderly person who has retired can live in his old age."

She sighed:

"I'm old and I can't help myself many times."

"I also heard about Pierce’s experience, but the present age is not my time after all. In peacetime, politicians use conspiracy as a means to fight opponents, which is disgusting, but we can’t change it. Yes. Fortunately, with your help, he survived, which is fine."

"So, talk about it, Merlin. What bad news did you bring me this time?"

"It's about aliens."

Merlin said truthfully:

"Fery encountered an alien attack called the Screw in California, and met a blonde girl who claimed to be a Cree, but she was actually an earthman, and she had participated in the Tianma Project. And From her, we know that whether it is the Cree or the Skoru, it is for some product of that plan."

Merlin stopped. He looked at Ms. Carter in front of him. He said:

"So, I came here to ask you, what is Tianma's plan... what is it? Why was it suddenly suspended?"

"Tianma Project...let me think about it."

Peggy Carter closed his eyes and seemed to recall the secrets in his mind. After a few minutes, Ms. Carter shouted to her niece Sharon who was busy in the kitchen:

"Little Sharon, I remember Howard left some documents in my garage. You can help me find some documents about the Tianma project."

Sharon responded and walked out of the room.

Peggy Carter turned to look at Merlin. She said:

"The Tianma Project is an energy experiment hosted by Howard. He once told me something. The purpose of the experiment seems to be to discover new energy. He said that if the experiment is successful, it is equivalent to inserting science and technology into human civilization. Winged, so he called it the'Tianma' plan."

"Then Wendy Lawson, this name, do you have an impression?"

Merlin asked, and Ms. Carter nodded:

"Yes, I remember quite clearly."

"Dr. Lawson is a top scientist in high-energy physics invited by Howard from Europe. She entered the Tianma program and I did it for her personally. I remember that the doctor was a very talkative person, Curious about everything... She is about the age of Howard, with silver hair, but full of energy, and often stays up late to work."

"Because of her joining, the experimental process of Tianma Project has been promoted very quickly."

Ms. Carter said to Merlin:

"I remember that in 1988, Dr. Lawson produced a prototype of a new energy engine. Howard completed the assembly of the prototype using the equipment of his own factory...They installed it in a very designed On the beautiful, avant-garde silver plane, they gave the plane a cool name..."

"They called it "Asis", I have seen the plane in person, it is really beautiful, like a silver shuttle."

Peggy Carter smiled at Merlin, she said with regret:

"But it's a pity that the plane crashed during the test flight. Dr. Lawson and the test pilot died in the disaster. I remember that time, Howard was very angry and anxious because he was checking the wreckage of the plane and No source of energy he gave to Dr. Lawson was found... he thought it was that thing that caused the crash of Assis."

"He thinks that everything is a mistake that he made too urgently. Without the energy source, the Tianma project lost the material of the root cause, and naturally could not be promoted. In 1989, it was declared ended."

Carter's story about Tianma's plan ends here.

But Merlin's expression was not clear. On the contrary, his eyes were full of seriousness. He looked at Ms. Carter and he said:

"But according to the information I got... Madam, Wendy Lawson, her real identity is the spy sent by the Cree to the earth. Her real name is Mar. Will."

Merlin recalled what he had heard about the conversation between Firth and the alien "Yong" and told Ms. Carter all this. He said:

"It is said that she discovered a special wave of energy on the earth. She thought that energy would help the Crees defeat the Screw, so she came to the earth."

"Ok?"

Ms. Carter's expression suddenly became serious. She looked at Merlin. She said:

"Can you confirm the authenticity of this news?"

"Yes, I can."

Merlin nodded and said:

"This is what I heard from a Kerry soldier."

"Ah... if that is the case."

Peggy Carter's eyes narrowed. A bit of enlightenment flashed in the eyes of the agent queen of the last era. She whispered:

"If this is the case, then everything will be explained."

"Howard’s frustration at the time was not to blame Dr. Lawson and the female pilot for killing him. He should have discovered Lawson’s true identity from the wreckage. He was anxious to shut down the Tianma project not only because the energy source was destroyed, It's because... Howard realized the seriousness of the problem."

"If Lawson is really an alien, but also because of the energy source, it means... the energy source, maybe not destroyed."

Ms. Carter’s fingers were clenched. She looked at Merlin. She said:

"That energy source should have been taken away! By the Cree!"

"You have been talking about'energy source', what exactly is that thing?"

Merlin asked curiously:

"Is the Tianma Project inspired by that'energy source'?"

"You shouldn't ask this question."

Peggy Carter glanced at Merlin, who said slowly and with a hint of sternness:

"Because this is top-secret intelligence. But since the incident happened and Wendy Lawson's identity was confirmed, then as a member of the Strategic Science Corps, Merlin, I can tell you, but you must control your mouth. !"

"You should know that in 1945, my lover Steve Rogers disappeared?"

Ms. Carter sighed. She looked down and said to Merlin:

"It wasn't just Steve who was missing at the time, but also a super energy source obtained by the mad scientist. The leader of the group of madmen Schmidt called it the "universe cube", which is a blue cube. The energy polymer, which contains energy, can easily tear our world, but it is very stable, as if it is permanent and calm."

"Steve drove the strategic aircraft used to blow up the West Coast and fell into the Arctic Ocean."

"Howard, who was still young at the time, did not want to believe that his good friend died like this. He funded an expedition to search for the missing Steve in the Arctic Circle. Maybe it was a temptation to make a mistake, he couldn't find it. My friend found the universe cube."

Peggy Carter opened the album at hand and took out a photo and handed it to Merlin.

The latter is in the hands. The picture shows Howard in his youth, using a mechanical creation in his hand, holding a luminous cube.

"After getting the cube from Howard, he has been trying to study it. Howard believes that it is a kind of more advanced civilization's technological creation. By studying it, it can quickly improve the world's technological level."

"But that thing was too dangerous because we stored it in the warehouse of the Strategic Science Corps until 1980... Howard relied on the continuous progress of technology and finally produced a device that can smoothly extract the power of the universe's Rubik's cube."

Ms. Carter shook her head:

"Also in that year, he got Wendy Lawson to help him. Now it seems that it is simply to lead the wolf into the room!"

"But if that Lawson really came for the Universe Rubik's Cube, then she certainly did not die in 1989. Maybe, she just came off with a fake death and took the Universe Rubik's Cube away from the earth..."

"No! Madam, I can basically be sure that she did not take it away!"

Merlin said to Ms. Carter:

"The Cree never said that Lawson had returned to the mission, and if she had really returned to Hara, then Firth, who was a bystander of that incident, could not have a life. The most important thing is, The Scoru came to earth to find what Lawson left on earth."

"This shows that she may have taken the Rubik's Cube, but she hid that thing somewhere, and I suspect that Marvel might have actually died in the crash."

"Firth? Who is that?"

Ms. Carter nodded, she approved Merlin’s analysis, and she noticed another detail:

"The name sounds strange."

"Firth is the earth girl who thinks she is a Cree. Fury is taking her to find previous clues, trying to remind her of her identity."

Merlin explained:

"Firth has remembered that she was a participant in the Tianma Project. She knew Wendy Lawson and participated in the test flight. After the plane crashed in 1989, she was taken to the capital of the Cree until Come back now."

"Time and events are indeed right."

Ms. Carter nodded and she said to Merlin:

"I read the report of the plane crash, because the two test pilots of the "Asis" plane were women at that time, so I remember very clearly. In those years, female pilots were still relatively rare, so I still Remember one called Maria. The other, like..."

Peggy Carter rubbed his forehead, she said:

"Carol?"

"Yes, aunt, you remember right."

While the two were talking, the voice of Ms. Carter’s niece Sharon sounded. The young girl took a dusty box and placed it on the coffee table in front of Merlin’s eyes.

Then he took out a document from the box and handed it to him.

Merlin took the document, turned the first page, and saw a picture of a blonde woman in a flight suit boarding the fighter. And the person in the photo is the Firth who has lost his memory!

Miss Sharon pointed to the pilot’s name in the document and said to Merlin:

"The female pilot who has been convicted of death is called Carol Danvers. There is another female pilot named Maria Rambo. She is a single mother. After Carol died, Maria resigned. After work, I took my daughter back to my hometown."

"Where is her hometown?"

Merlin asked while looking at Carol's profile.

Sharon Carter picked up another document, she looked at it and said to Merlin:

"The data records should be in..."

"Louisiana, right?"

Merlin looked at Sharon and said the answer in advance. Sharon froze and nodded.

Merlin picked up the file in his hand, and he said to Ms. Carter in front of her:

"Ferry is also there, and the Scoru people are likely to be there too. I can't delay the time. I have to leave immediately, Ms. Carter."

"Wait, Merlin."

When Merlin left, Ms. Carter suddenly shouted at him. When Merlin turned back, she heard Ms. Carter say:

"One thing, I need to please you."
