6. The Invitation of Shadows--Brother Yun who is chasing the wind for "Xiaoyao" [33/40](1/2)
More than ten minutes later, Amanda Waller left the basement, and Merlin's eavesdropping and information collection ended here.
Eavesdropping on this conversation is valuable, and Merlin has collected a lot of useful information from Waller and Tefrey's chat.
For example, the Sky Eye will be trying to win over a mysterious woman named Diana, and for example, the Sky Eye will be looking for something in Smallville, Kansas. In the end, the Sky Eye will probably continue to observe the movements of people under the sea.
This represents the current trend of the new organization of the Sky Eye Society. It is not difficult for Merlin to guess that the Sky Eye Society is now in the stage of "recruiting people". The previous golden cross-dressed warrior Michael, who had a strange combat uniform, is probably the newcomer they recruited.
From Michael, we can see the standard for the recruitment of members of the Sky Eye. What they need is not ordinary agents, but like S.H.I.E.L.D., looking for those who have extraordinary power.
From this point of view, we can see that although the Sky Eye Society has not been established for a long time, it undoubtedly has lofty ambitions.
Of course, Merlin also collected some interesting private information from this conversation, such as Amanda Waller, this cold and fierce female agent, who was actually Fury's former student
No wonder the actions or expressions she occasionally showed were very similar to Fury when planning a conspiracy.
I don’t know if Fury knew that his disciple had become a competitor in his career.
However, these things can be discussed later. Merlin did not forget the purpose of invading the Sky Eye Club base. He left the circular office and kept wandering in this underground facility along the ventilation duct. After searching for several rooms, Merlin finally found the place where the Sky Eye Club store information in this base.
"Although it is a new student organization, the security is indeed not bad."
Meilin was hiding her figure and moved forward carefully in the dim data room. The room was full of motion-triggered sensors. Once Meilin accidentally stepped on it, the entire base would be alarmed.
Fortunately, he doesn't need to put his feet on the ground to walk.
After the lower half of his body turned into smoke, Merlin was suspended in the air a few inches from the ground. He looked at the secret lock in front of him that needed to match fingerprints and keys at the same time to open. He shook his head and pulled out his wand from his waist.
“alohora!”
As Merlin's wrist shaking, the complex and precise lock made a low sound of gear collision at the moment the spell fell. The next moment, the data cabinet, which cost a lot of money, opened its arms to Merlin.
He wore black leather gloves and searched for the on-site information left by the Batman in Gotham City from the large data cabinet. After reading several investigation reports, Merlin found a special letter that had been burned to pieces.
He picked up the letter and found that there was a strange seal under it, a red triangle sign dotted with arcs below.
"Bruce said of the logo of the Assassin League."
But the content in this letter is not as useful as Merlin imagined. It is actually a "invitation letter" with a warning nature. In this letter, the Assassin Alliance, as the sect leader, asked some forces that they had previously funded to develop, and after several years of wandering, they returned to the Assassin Alliance system.
Of course there are also common death warnings and other things.
This is not much different from what Fury told Merlin. No wonder the Sky Eye has not improved much after several months of investigation.
These guys are good at hiding activities. They have been hiding in history for hundreds of years. They rely on some ordinary agents and rely on these clues in their hands, so they can't even catch their tails.
The clues seem to be completely broken.
Merlin was a little helpless. He put the burned letter aside and began to look for other information from the Sky Eye Club. He took photos with his carry-on camera. But just a few minutes later, Merlin, who was busy copying the documents, suddenly had an inspiration in his heart.
"What's wrong with this letter."
He put down the camera in his hand, floated to the table, and looked at the invitation letter that had been burned for half.
"If this is a warning, then those gangs have two choices, either refuse and then be eliminated by the Batman Assassin of the Assassin League. Or follow and return to the arms of the Assassin League. But this thing is not a communicator for two-way communication. How could the Assassin League know whether these gangs refused or obeyed?"
"Send an inquiry, no matter how good or bad the result will definitely get a response."
Merlin narrowed his eyes, his mind was running rapidly.
"Excluding the fact that the Assassin League sent people to lurk in the gang, those forces that obeyed them would inevitably respond to the Assassin League. Therefore, there must be other information in this letter, maybe an address or a contact information, but it is certain that only people inside them can crack a secret word and a secret code."
"It's really a bunch of clever ghosts."
Merlin rolled up the half-burned invitation letter and put it in his pocket.
"I almost got cheated by you."
He put the documents behind him back to his original position, and then quickly left here through the route he came.
A few minutes later, his figure appeared again at Wayne Manor in Gotham City.
To be precise, it appeared in the bedroom before Bruce.
He really didn't know the code inside the Assassin League, but Bruce should know that although the guy was tight-lipped about his years in the Assassin League, Merlin could tell from his tone and expression.
Bruce was deeply involved with that organization, and he was definitely not as gentle as he looked on.
He must have been exposed to the core secrets of the Assassin League
"Hmm? No one?"
Merlin transformed into smoke and penetrated into his room along the window of Bruce's bedroom, but there was no one here. The quilts on the bed were neatly placed, and there was no sign of sleep at all.
“Have you gone out to work again?”
Merlin shook her head:
"What a dedicated night warrior."
He turned around, opened the window, stretched out his left hand, and between the dark red light, the spirit raven Victor appeared on his arm, turned his head and looked at Merlin, then spread his wings and rushed into the deep night outside the window.
With Victor's flight speed and reconnaissance range, it is possible to circle Gotham City, which has nearly 8 million people in about a few dozen minutes. It should be no problem to find Bruce, who is fighting crime in the dark.
Merlin himself sat on the chair in Bruce's bedroom, closed his eyes and began to meditate in this quiet dark night.
More than ten minutes later, quietly hidden in the darkness, Merlin, like a sculpture, opened his eyes, Victor sent back the message, and it found Bruce's location.
"Swish"
The shape-shifting spell was activated, and the next moment, according to Victor's coordinates, Merlin's figure flashed and appeared in a closed warehouse.
The moment he appeared, a spiraling bullet hit his head, penetrated through his forehead, and came out from the back of his head, bringing a wisp of fluttering smoke.
Merlin pushed his glasses and turned around and saw a bandit wearing a vest, holding a gun in his hand, and looking at him in a daze.
Merlin responded to him with a smile.
"Swish"
His figure disappeared from the spot, and in the movement close to the speed of sound, he punched the fierce man's stomach. Seeing the guy fly out like a baseball knocked out in a wail, Merlin shook his head, shook his left hand lightly, and the Cybertron weapon module appeared in his hand. After the deformation full of technology, a large-caliber energy hand cannon was raised.
He didn't even need to aim, but pointed the muzzle at the wall beside him and pulled the trigger. At the moment when the scorching light ejected, the solid wall melted quickly like a flame-burning cheese. It also led to several thugs on the other side of the wall being burned by the light and knocked to the ground.
This scene attracted the attention of Bruce, who was fighting fiercely and the gun-carrying thugs, and the battle between the two sides stopped for a moment.
As they approached, they saw a guy in a casual suit and a blue half-covered face armor walking out of the other side of the melted wall.
"Buu, Batman, I have something to ask you."
Merlin looked at Bruce, and he waved his right hand. The black mist wrapped in his hand flew out of his hand like a poisonous snake foraging. At the moment of leaving his hand, the scattered black mist roared, and in the form of dark tentacles, accurately wrapped around the bodies of the remaining thugs. Under the influence of the dark force that was increasingly tighter and tighter like a snake, these thugs howled and were lifted into the air, but no matter what, they could not break free.
Merlin showed mercy this time.
During his previous contact with Bruce, he learned that the dark warrior in Gotham never killed anyone. Although this does not conform to Merlin's values, this is Bruce's territory and Bruce's battlefield, so it is better for him to follow the customs.
"Stop! Don't move forward!"
Next to Bruce, a teenager in a red cape and goggles, looked like he was walking forward, holding a bat-shaped fighting knife in his hand and scolding Merlin, who was walking towards them:
"Stop!"
"Um?"
Merlin looked at the child who looked like an assistant beside Bruce, and he looked at Bruce again, and he said:
"Who is this?"
"Robin."
Bruce reached out and placed it on the young man's shoulder, he said:
"He is a friend. You go outside and guard me and he talks about something."
"But he looks very dangerous."
The stubborn child looked back at Bruce, who said to him:
"Don't worry, Robin, I'll be fine."
The child seemed to have a good relationship with Bruce. While walking out of the warehouse under Bruce's advice, he frequently looked back at Merlin. His eyes were definitely not friendly.
Watching the child named Robin leave the warehouse, Merlin took off the cover and said to Bruce in front of him:
"Who is this kid? I heard from Ah Fu that you had an assistant named Grayson before, but he went to Brookhaven to go to college. So, is this kid Jason?"
"This kid, he is very talented."
Bruce looked outside the warehouse and said:
"I discovered him a few months ago. He was stealing the tires of my car. He was a lone thief and was still famous in the slums. But you also know the current situation of Gotham. He steals things just to live. So I adopted him. He is not bad by nature and occasionally a little reckless and stubborn, but he also wants to do good things."
"You are really persistent in saving this city."
Merlin said:
"But I think, if you change your identity as Bruce Wayne, you can do more things like him. How many children are there in Gotham? You might as well invest in an orphanage and put them all together."
"Actually, I have entrusted Ah Fu to do this."
Bruce smiled under the bat mask, and he said:
"I won't waste resources. You just left, why are you back? Did you find something?"
"Yes, this!"
