More than a dozen minutes later, Merlin walked out of the town in southern Wales.

At midnight, Merlin's expression seemed a little complicated, and his mood was also very complicated at this time.

He is self-doubting.

This is normal. Anyone will subconsciously doubt when they realize that their life may be arranged in advance.

In those seemingly real memories, those laughter, sadness, happiness, sorrow, and sorrow that are within reach may just be the scenes that others want you to see and want you to think of.

How many real experiences are there in such a life?

The answer to this question may not be so easy to accept.

Just like who could have thought that Ms. Peggy Carter, who was regarded as the "King of Agents" of the last era, would actually plan to destroy the organization she built with her own hands after retirement.

Who knows that Fury, who is treacherous and ghostly, is also a piece used by Ms. Page Carter to attract the attention of Hydra.

Should I tell Fury this news?

“It’s really a headache.”

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he reached out to take out his wand, and he said:

"Prefer to focus on the front of you first, and find Daisy first."

The next morning, Merlin, who woke up from a bizarre nightmare, finished washing up, changed her clothes, and pushed open the door and walked towards the Monastery of St. Agnes a few blocks away.

Although Eric had graduated from the school attached to the monastery a few years ago and went to Mit to attend college, after Eric left, Merlin still went to St. Matthew's Church once a week.

It was not for confession, nor did he convert to faith. This was just a habit he developed during that period of time when he was recuperating. He would sit alone behind the church and think about some questions that he could not get answers.

Another reason is that after knowing that the Sisters of the Holy Grace behind St. Matthew's Church is an estate under the Assassin League, Merlin made an agreement with Thalia. When Thalia found any news about Hydra, she would contact Merlin through some members of the Assassin League in St. Matthew's Church.

There are indeed members of the Assassin League hidden in this church and its affiliated monastery, but Merlin did not deliberately search for it.

This is an unnecessary thing.

As long as Talia is still clear-headed, she will not make any trouble on S.H.E.L.D. The current Assassin Alliance is in a stance of surviving. Talia needs Merlin's help to redesign the "eye and ears" in North America.

In this case, she would not be stupid enough to fool Merlin with fake news.

"Yo, Merlin."

As Merlin walked into the church, Father Paul, who was preparing for the mass this week, waved at him. The priest looked very good in spirit and maintained a gentle expression on his face.

Meilin walked to him, without greetings or saying hello, but said straightforwardly:

"Father, I need you to help me find a child, who once lived in the Orphanage of St. Agnes."

"Oh? Who is it?"

The priest did not refuse this request. Although he did not know Merlin's profession, he knew Merlin was a kind person, which could be seen from the fact that he adopted Eric and Matt. Even after Eric went to college, Merlin would go to the orphanage to see the children from time to time and bring them some fruit and food.

“Ada.”

Merlin said:

"In March 1991, I remember that there was a time when everyone said she was in trouble."

"Oh, that kid, I have an impression."

The priest struck a cross on his chest and said to Merlin:

"The child was adopted by different families, but every family that adopted her would encounter some unfortunate things. Over time, no one was willing to adopt her. Until last year, an old couple adopted Little Aida. If I remember correctly, they should have lived in New York, on Long Island."

"oh?"

Merlin blinked, and he asked:

"Didn't that couple encounter bad luck?"

"I haven't heard of this."

The priest replied in confusion:

"I haven't heard from Ada since she was adopted, but the child has sent back a few photos. You can wait and I'll get it to you."

"Well, I'll just wait here."

Merlin rubbed his slightly swollen forehead, and he sat on the chair at the end of the church, and soon fell into thought.

He received too much information yesterday, and he urgently needed to analyze it carefully.

From 1992 to 1994, the plan to suppress and split the Strategic Science Legion from the Ministry of Defense, the National Security Agency and other organizations, was promoted by Ms. Carter at the beginning behind the scenes.

But the tenacious Fury led Merlin and his gang to grit their teeth and survived the most difficult period, successfully reversed the situation and put S.H.E.L.D.'s career on the right track.

It also allowed the Hydra elements who should have lost their hiding place to find a new big tree and continue to gather in this increasingly prosperous tree.

Ms. Carter's adventure failed, or, in other words, the unpredictable trend, forced Ms. Carter to modify the plan.

This incident really makes people feel ridiculous.

But the information revealed behind this incident makes people unable to laugh.

Merlin squinted his eyes, and the thoughts in his mind were running quickly.

"I experienced the situation at that time. At that time, relying solely on Fury, we could not resist the united power of those departments. There were many lucky factors in our victory, or in other words, those Hydra elements who were unwilling to fail had a premonition of the threat and they secretly helped us."

He rubbed his forehead and a light flashed in his eyes:

"So, among the people who helped Fury and us at that time, there must be Hydra molecules. Well, this is a new direction and it is worth keeping looking."

"Who will start from?"

Merlin moved his fingers, and figures flashed through his mind one by one. After a moment, he determined his goal.

"At that time, those members of the World Security Council who absolutely supported the reconstruction of S.H.E.L.D., even Chief Alexander Pierce, the agents who followed Fury at that time, the agents in the European division and the 'friends' of Fury in other departments were all suspected."

Thinking of this, a helpless smile flashed across Merlin's face. He raised his head and looked at the reliefs of angels and myths on the church dome. He whispered:

"Does I count as such? Will kindness be repaid?"

"What are you talking about? Merlin."

Father Paul's voice sounded behind Merlin. He held a photo frame in his hand. When Merlin raised his head, the priest handed the photo frame to Merlin.

Merlin took the photo frame and he casually said to the priest:

"Nothing, Father. And, I want to thank you for your help."

"Can I ask, what's wrong with finding this kid?"

The priest asked with some concern:

"I know you are a public official. Could it be that Little Aida made something wrong?"

"No, don't think too much, Father."

Merlin said to the priest in a gentle voice:

"I just accidentally met a woman who was probably Little Aida's mother, and she asked me to help her find her daughter."

"Oh, so that's it."

The priest suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He sent Merlin to the entrance of the church and said to Merlin:

"If you need help, Merlin, I can mobilize my fellow believers to help you find Little Aida."

"No, Father."

Merlin smiled and said:

"I have my own way. You can go and do it. I will respect the child's opinions on the matter between Little Aida and her mother."

"That's good."

The priest waved to Merlin and walked back to the church.

Merlin picked up the photo frame in his hand. There was a little black-haired girl in a white dress. She was standing in front of a fountain, being held by a kind old lady, waving her hands towards the camera, looking very happy.

The child had a beautiful appearance at such a young age, and her eyes were very similar to Jiaying.

This should be indeed Jiaying's child who has been lost for 10 years.

Well, she should be 11 years old this year. And it seems that she gets along very well with the old couple who adopted her. Perhaps, her life is quite good now.

The child's smile can always infect people's mood. Merlin reached out to take the photo out of the frame, and there was a gentle smile on his face.

But more than ten minutes later, Merlin stood in front of a slightly old house on Long Island, and his expression was ugly.

The house in front of him was empty, and from the neighbors on both sides of the house, Merlin heard that the old couple who adopted Ada had died in the vampire war that broke out last year.

As for Little Aida

People nearby have not seen her for several months.

"Is it such a coincidence?"

Merlin noticed the weirdness behind this incident.

If a child like Ada is adopted, she will usually be sent back to the orphanage, which is St. Agnes. But the problem is that Father Paul also said that since Ada was adopted, he has never heard of Ada again.

This proves that after the old couple suffered misfortune, Little Aida was not sent back.
