"Ding Ding Ding"

In the dim room covered with smoke, the crisp sound of the phone suddenly rang out, and it kept ringing, making people confused.

After a while, the phone was picked up. A woman with an amazing figure standing in the shadow put the phone in her ear. She coughed lightly and said impatiently:

"Hey? Who are you? What's the matter with me?"

"I introduced it through some friends, and they said that you are the best mercenary you can find on the market now? I want to ask you, will you accept the commission?"

The old butler of Wayne Manor said in a plain tone:

"I need you to go to Auckland to help me save someone."

"Who to save?"

When the woman asked, Alfred replied:

"A man named Merlin, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, is thin and has an abnormally pale face. He is now being chased by a group of dangerous people, so there is not much time left for you."

"Time is not a problem, but you have too little information."

The woman, hidden in the shadow, plucked her long black hair and said softly:

"And I'm on vacation now and don't want to take on jobs."

“$500,000.”

Alfred casually quoted a price:

"I don't need you to take him anywhere. There have been too many people following me recently. I just need you to save him and make sure he is safe."

"Well, if you don't take it, this kind of bodyguard's life is the most troublesome."

The impatient woman refused in a bad tone, and she said that she was about to hang up the phone, while Lao Afu, who was on the other part of the phone, quoted another price:

"Then let's increase the price by 5 million."

"Okay! Wait a moment, I'll set off now!"

The woman simply reported a bank account, and she disappeared from the boredom she had just a second ago. She quickly hung up the phone and began to organize her equipment.

But before she could wear her combat clothes, a phone call from the bank came over. Her private financial manager told her that two minutes ago, her poor account had a total of 1 million dollars.

Well, that's the deposit in advance.

Such a refreshing customer made the mercenary on vacation extremely happy.

While humming a song, she picked up a heavy black samurai sword and shook her long soft hair. As her fingers waving, a crimson energy blade appeared on her fingers and then disappeared.

The mercenary wearing an extremely exaggerated and exposed black combat uniform took a step forward, took off a black windbreaker from the hanger, and stepped onto the spiral staircase towards the rooftop with two long legs.

A moment later, accompanied by the sound of a helicopter taking off, she drove her cool transportation away from her mansion in Las Vegas and galloped towards Oakland.

Fortunately, the straight-line distance between these two places is actually not far away.

The heroic mercenary leaned against the driver's seat. She looked at the sky under the night and thought about what to buy after getting all the 5 million US dollars. Although she had already earned 1 million, she made money by whether the guy was alive or alive, but reputation was still very important in the industry of working hard to get money.

Besides, if you can throw 100 people to save people without blinking, you must not be a guy who is easy to mess with.

In such a thing, the cost of default is really high.

"Well, Golden Merlin worth 5 million, hold on for another hour and a half, and my sister will come to save you now."

"Bang"

The wall in front of Meilin suddenly exploded and was penetrated by a fatal bullet. The bricks and stones on the wall were broken, and the bursting fragments hit Meilin's face and body, making him stagger in the movement of running forward.

He didn't dare to look back, but rushed forward and hid behind the wall at the corner of the dark alley.

He leaned against the wall, panting.

The pursuit and killing between him and the fatal killer behind him has lasted for a long time. The two of them have moved out of the block that has become a battlefield, and are now far away from the block just now.

Almost all you can see in Merlin the roads and woods leading to the suburbs.

When the shot just now came, Merlin opened his body to the outside with warning from dark perception. Otherwise, it would be this wall that exploded, but his heart.

The person chasing him behind him was the attacker who killed the Howards and his wife, and the attacker with a metal arm.

That guy's life activities are very strange, his vitality is extremely tenacious, but his thinking activities are almost nothing. As long as he has felt this characteristic once, he will never forget it.

He is here again.

After failing to kill Merlin last time and being seriously injured by Merlin's counterattack, he appeared on the battlefield with Merlin again.

And this time, Meilin, who had found all the trump cards, was already difficult to get him into obscene again.

He pulled out the magazine of the rifle in his hand and looked at it. There were probably only a few bullets left. After the bullets were exhausted, Merlin could not use long-range means to counterattack, which meant that he would have a head-on battle with the super killer behind him.

With his fighting method that only knows how to swing a turtle punch, there is no hope of winning.

"Bang"

Another shot, and the bullet tear a gap through the bullet hole that had just been pierced, almost flew over Meilin's shoulder.

This immediately moved Meilin.

He knew that the super killer behind him was probably equipped with infrared detectors or other things. The shadow cape's shielding effect could not be hidden from him.

I can only grit my teeth and try it out.

If he could catch him off guard with the Black Mist Storm like last time, there might be hope.

Merlin made up his mind and held the rifle in both hands. During the break after the Super Killer's third fire, Merlin suddenly jumped out of the hiding place. Under the influence of dark perception, the muzzle in his hand aimed at the Winter Warrior behind. Merlin pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Two bullets were placed on the low wall where the Winter Soldier was hiding. The last shot hit the Winter Soldier's arm. The dust and collision sparks splashed in the dark made the Winter Soldier quickly lower his lower body and use a tactical evasion posture to hide behind the low wall.

With his equally developed perception, he could hear Merlin's footsteps. Merlin must have planned to take advantage of the time when he was suppressed and rushed to him. This kid planned to use the same trick again and use the dangerous explosion of dark magic to severely damage him again.

But the Winter Soldier did not dodge. Instead, he took out a round grenade from the ammunition box behind his waist.

Just when Meilin was only 15 meters away from the Winter Soldier, a round thing suddenly threw it out from behind the low wall where the Winter Soldier was hiding, jumped on the ground twice, and hit Meilin's feet.

This thing is a little different from common grenades.

Its shell is silver-white. After being activated and smashed to the ground, it did not explode immediately. On the contrary, wisps of strange orange-yellow light emanated from the inside of the round grenade.

It looks beautiful at first glance, like the orange sunlight.

As time goes by, the orange-yellow light inside the shell becomes more and more powerful, and it can no longer give people a warm feeling. Instead, it is extremely dangerous.

It's like a small sun about to burst out.

Merlin did not retreat because of this. He crossed the grenade on the ground. He needed this dangerous stimulus to inspire the riot of the black fog to unlock the killing situation in front of him.

The second after he stopped, behind him, the orange light burst out in all directions like flowing flames, using the direction where the ball fell as the center.

Meilin's body was slapped by the scorching flames, and at this moment, it suddenly dissipated into a chaotic black mist. In the flash of the orange flame storm, it rushed towards the place where the winter soldiers were hiding in a posture of scattering their teeth and claws and drowning everything.

But the Winter Soldier did not hide. On the contrary, he stood up without any warning.

He stood behind the low wall, looking at the rolling black smoke rushing towards him, his cold, scarred face seemed to have a hint of sarcasm and ridicule.

This made Merlin feel that the problem was not good.

But there was no time left for him to regret it. Merlin tried his best to disperse the black fog and rushed towards the Winter Soldier.

But behind him, the orange-red flame that exploded suddenly seemed to have touched an invisible boundary when it covered the distance of 10 meters around. The destructive orange flame was pulled and suddenly closed by a more terrifying force the next moment.

It's like an invisible light spot expanding to the extreme and then closing again. In the second stage of this special explosive reaction, the pulling force generated is even several times stronger than the impact force during the explosion.

Meilin could feel that the black fog he had transformed into was like being thrown into a storm pulling backwards. His black fog could touch the body of the Winter Soldier as long as he crossed less than 1 meter away, but he couldn't do it!

It was like a black hole that devoured everything opened behind him. Amid Merlin's roar, all the black mist and the rolling smoke were dragged and drifted backwards.

The orange flames gathered back to the explosion origin within one second, and gathered all the broken things within a range of 10 meters together, forming a strange ball of stone fragments, smashing it to the ground, making a heavy sound.

Merlin, who had exhausted his strength, was forcibly separated from the smoke form and turned back into a human form.

He fell to the ground and he was very tired.

Never once transformed, I would be as tired as this time. It was like overdrawing all my energy.

His last trump card was broken and he had no choice but to do anything.

In this strange world, not only magic means can suppress Merlin's magical explosion, but it can also be easily cracked with the power of the right methods and technology.

The winter warrior walked to Meilin. He raised the sniper rifle in his hand and slammed it hard on Meilin's head with a heavy and hard buttstock. This heavy blow made Meilin's eyes dark.

But it was not over yet. The Winter Soldier took his lost fighting knife back from Merlin's boots.

With his hand swung, a round metal piece was thrown on Meilin. The beating blue current jumped back and forth on Meilin's body, and in just a few seconds, the young man was put into a coma.

After all this, the Winter Soldier reached out and took out the thermos from the unconscious Meilin's pocket, then carried Meilin on his shoulder, turned around and walked into the darkness.

The task is completed.

He wants to bring the product of this paranormal phenomenon back to his organization, and maybe Merlin will become his "companion" in a short while.

Merlin has great potential, he just doesn't want to embrace the darkness completely to gain power. But in that organization, personal will is not important at all. They have countless ways to distort Merlin's thoughts and brainwash him into the deadliest warrior.
