Merlin pursed his lips, he looked at Josie, and he said:

"Wow, you're so awesome, Josie, have you discovered this?"

"Ha, Merlin."

Josie snorted proudly, she shook the bucket waist and added a glass of wine to Merlin. She said:

"I have been dealing with all kinds of people for decades, and I can see what you think at first glance."

Merlin did not respond to Josie again.

He has lived a bad time this time. The parchment reminder made him feel a sense of depression that was about to come, and there was an argument between him and Fury today.

As Josie said, I just thought it was a spark that triggered all the negative emotions in Merlin's heart during this period.

This is normal.

Merlin looked at the shaking liquid in the wine glass in his hand, and in the wine he could see his slightly distorted face reflected.

He has lived in a "game" for nearly 40 years of his life. He was born because of this game, preparing for it, and thinking about the end every day after guessing the truth.

And now, the end is coming.

In this case, if he is not nervous at all, it means he has given up resisting.

When facing this moment that determines fate, who is not nervous?

"I'll treat you this glass of wine."

Josie stood up straight, and she said to Merlin with her waist:

"The men in my hometown have this habit. If they are afraid, if they don't know what to do, they will drink some alcohol and let the alcohol help them make their decisions."

"Look at how good you look."

The bar owner knocked on the table and said to Merlin:

"After drinking this glass of wine, you will fight like a man! There are still a few sisters and brothers in your family waiting for you to come home. What's the point of staying with me! Get out after drinking!"

"good!"

Merlin raised her neck and drank a glass of wine. He stood up and put a few pieces of money on the bar. He said to Josie:

"I may not come for a long time...I mean, if I can drink here next time, I might as well give up one order, right?"

"It's also considered giving me some good luck."

"OK."

Josie rudely gestured to Merlin's middle finger, and she said:

"Next time I will charge you twice the amount of wine."

"Hahaha"

Merlin smiled and shook his head, he pushed open the bar door and walked out.

At this moment, Icarus, who had been silent, said:

"Alexander Pierce sent a text message 10 minutes ago, inviting you to sit at his house, which is said to be related to the Insight Plan and Nick Fury."

"All right."

Merlin reached out and pulled her collar, and he said:

"I'm going to find him, too."

"Swish"

The light of the street light twisted slightly, like a hole in the open door, and Merlin took a step forward.

The next second, he stepped into the living room of Pierce's mansion in Washington.

Pierce was sitting on the sofa and reading the book, when Merlin's sudden appearance scared him.

The old man covered his heart and glared at Merlin, he said:

"Before you appear next time, please make a call to make me feel a little mentally prepared? I am in my 70s and I am really afraid that one day I will be scared to death by you."

"Don't say that."

Merlin was moving, and he sat on the sofa and said to Pierce:

"You are still healthy, Pierce, you can live for a long time..."

"Don't comfort me."

Pierce put down the book in his hand, and he waved his hand, and he said:

"I'm very open-minded. I'm not afraid of death. What I'm worried about is other things, such as, I heard, you had a fight with Fury today?"

"How do you know?"

Merlin looked at Pierce in surprise and said:

"That happened in East Africa. Did you, an old agent, also put eyeliners in SHIELD?"

"What do you think of?"

Pierce picked up the cane on his legs and said:

"It was Fury who called me to tell me that he said that he was a little oversighted in the afternoon. I asked me to comfort you... That guy just couldn't bear to leave his face, as if his face was so expensive."

“This is not a question of comforting or not.”

Merlin shook his head, he looked at the old man Pierce, and he said:

"What I want to know is, about the restart of the Insight Program... have you intervened?"

"I?"

Pierce shook his head calmly:

"I didn't. I went to Fury that day to do the abolition process of the Insight Plan."

"But I don't know what he was thinking, and suddenly told me that maybe the insight plan could be implemented..."

Speaking of this, the old man frowned and said to Merlin:

"This is not the point. The point is, Fury told me at the time that he would do a good job of communicating with you, but now it seems that he actually didn't tell you about this, right?"

"It's not just this thing he didn't tell me."

Merlin looked at Pierce and said:

"Have you noticed that Fury has become a little bit since he was attacked by the Winter Soldiers..."

Pierce's eyelids twitched, but he still asked:

"You mean, Fury was brainwashed?"

"No, he didn't."

Merlin shook her head:

"I took the opportunity to check during the afternoon quarrel. Fury was in a normal state of mind, and there was no sign of brainwashing or being controlled to think."

"But he suddenly became so extreme that I couldn't help but think in a worse direction."

“What about?”

Pierce asked:

“What’s the worse situation?”

"For example, it was replaced."

Merlin squinted and said:

"You probably haven't forgotten what happened in 1994..."

"Skuru?"

Pierce's face changed drastically, and he clasped his cane tightly, he said:

"This is a serious charge, Merlin, do you have evidence?"

"I don't."

Merlin shook her head:

"This is the worst thing. Skuru's soul changes with the body's changes, and it is difficult to find problems with the soul-catching spell."

"Unless I kill Fury now and see if his body will change color, we can't detect if he is the guy we are familiar with."

"And if this bad guess comes true, then what was Fury replaced?"

"Is it the time for the Winter Soldiers to attack? So was the incident of the Winter Soldiers specially set up by the Skuru people to break into SHIELD?"

Merlin made a series of assumptions:

"Is that winter soldier also pretended to be the Skuru people? The most important thing is that if Fury was a Skuru people, then how many people are real in SHIELD now?"

"What is he doing to restart the Insight Program at this time?"
