The first phase of the "clean-up operation" carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Defence and the National Security Agency was carried out after the last phase of the last plane carrying the prisoner landed on the runway of the "Ghost" base. The end is declared.

In Merlin’s office, the SDOLD chief commander was standing in front of the window, looking at the radical prisoners who had been escorted out of the aircraft cabin below. He had a preliminary collated mission report in his hands. In total, more than 4,500 radical mutants were captured by the operation.

The vast majority of them are peripheral forces of the Mutant Brotherhood, and a small percentage belong to the backbone of that organization.

Most of these imprisoned prisoners are followers of Magneto’s dangerous ideas, many of whom have planned and participated in more than one disturbance to human society.

The arrest of these people represented the dangerous organization of the Mutant Brotherhood, and the organizational structure on the bright side was completely defeated.

But the matter is not over yet. This matter cannot be ended simply by catching people.

This action is not a perfect ending, because the smartest and most cunning handful of the radical mob, after the disappearance of Magneto, became aware of the danger, hid in the shadows in advance, and were still fighting the Brotherhood The banner of continues to call on variants of unknown truth to fight against humans.

"The retreat of the organization will cause the remaining radicals who are not determined to be moderate, and some people who do not want to cause trouble will be forced to maintain neutrality, but not everyone will give up."

Merlin, who stood in front of the window, withdrew his gaze, turned his head and threw the task report on the table, and then said to the commanders in front of him, who had been tired for three days under his command:

"The complex social form of mutants determines that they will always be born with extremes like Magneto. Magneto is not even the first, he is only the most dangerous one. Among these modern nomads, they really find themselves in the world. Before the positioning, their so-called'rebellion' will not stop."

He played with the golden pocket watch in his hand and said to the agents in front of him:

"This arrest operation is just the beginning, it is only part of our mission to combat the natural forces of the radicals. In the process of officially pushing the moderate leader, Professor Charles, to the foreground, we also need to continue to crack down on the active variants. Radicals."

"This task is not simple."

Merlin said softly:

"We just just finished the simplest part of this task. I hope you know that after the biggest radical organization was defeated, those extremists who had survived the raid would only be more careful. They will go underground, they will try to become ghosts wandering in the shadows, they will become more cunning and cruel, and the conflict between our two sides will become more dangerous."

"But, I think this is a good thing."

Merlin spread his hands and said to the commanders in front of him:

"After all, the shadow zone, but our territory. I don't think that in this battle on the battlefield, we will be defeated by a group of naive thugs who are full of extreme thoughts, what do you say?"

Melinda and Sharon nodded. They agreed with Merlin. Colson, who had not slept for 72 hours, took off his glasses. He rubbed his eyes and said with concern:

"Sir, what you said makes sense, but we still have to guard against those militants who have fled and launched revenge in the most recent period."

"Brother Mutants will have this tradition of revenge. Although losing the organization will make those extremist lunatics lose a lot of help, the lone wolf attack will be more difficult to guard against."

Coulson moved his fingers, and he said to Merlin and other companions:

"Those mutants have all kinds of abilities. They don’t even need guns or bombs. They are weapons themselves. This makes people invincible. Once an innocent person is injured, the pressure of public opinion only needs to be guided slightly and it will be Transfer to us."

"Those who fear that there is no chaos in the world will accuse us of instigating war."

"People don't really care much about the truth. They have always been blind. Especially in this era, they really believe in everything... Just a few fake photos, we will become the target. It's like being The Ten Commandments who tried to penetrate North America did just that...they were very good at reversing right and wrong."

Colson's question silenced the other agents.

To think about the problem from the perspective proposed by Coulson, the current situation really does not seem optimistic.

The contradiction between humans and mutants has been around for a long time. Some people do not like mutants, but others will support them in pursuing their own power. Although the official has begun to solve the problems of mutants from a higher level, it takes time. .

Before the problem is really solved, a period of painful period is still necessary.

"Colson's concerns are justified, sir, I mean, if there are other people, or other forces, trying to seize this opportunity and deliberately provoke the contradiction between mutants and civilians?"

Sharon said:

"All you need is a bewitched mutant, a slogan, or even a detonated bomb, which will probably make the contradiction between the two sharp again."

Merlin nodded, and the concerns of Coulson and Sharon were correct.

The issue of mutants is placed in the framework of human society, which will involve a series of very sensitive issues such as human rights, racial discrimination, democratic power, etc. Once the wandering mutants thugs have a little bit of brain flexibility, then a few are hidden in the crowd The bomb in the middle will completely detonate this big trouble.

"When you feel that the problem is getting more and more difficult, it means that the problem has entered the stage of solution."

Merlin didn't seem to care about this issue. He looked at the pocket watch in his hand and said:

"The situation is indeed serious, but this is not a bad thing."

He said meaningfully:

"It's not just that they will manipulate public opinion, agents. Once the followers of Magneto throw away the banner of freedom and begin to immerse themselves in planning dangerous terrorist actions, it means that they will truly become public enemies."

"For thinking guidance on such social issues, Director Fury is better than us. I believe that as long as the schizophrenic public opinion dare to jump out and try to stir the muddy waters, Fury will let them have a good memory, as long as the group I'm afraid that the **** in the world will no longer have to do anything..."

"By that time, I don't believe that SHIELD would be able to solve even a group of naive guerrilla soldiers."

"Furthermore, these are actually not issues that we need to care about, Coulson, and Sharon."

Merlin knocked on the table. He said slowly:

"If moderate mutants can't even solve such a thing, I don't think we are the right choice to vigorously support their superiors. Give Professor Charles a little confidence, and I believe he is well prepared in this regard."

"Okay, let's talk about S.D.O.L.D.'s tasks for the next period of time."

Merlin coughed softly. He opened the paper on the table and said to his subordinates:

"The Trident Headquarters has approved our application to set up a "Variant Affairs Monitoring and Management Team" within the department. This team is code-named "X" and is specifically responsible for any matters related to the mutants."

"Barbie and Trip, and your team, will be transferred to this group, as for the commander..."

Merlin glanced at his three generals, and finally found that whether it was Coulson or Sharon, they had other jobs. The only spare Melinda was also a long-term tutor at the SHIELD Academy.

He once again felt the lack of manpower. In the end, he could only say:

"For the time being, I will take the part."

"In the next few months, the two teams of Trip and Barbie and the X battle will continue to capture the **** members of the fraternity of the mutant brothers. The three branches of Philadelphia, Atlanta and Miami cooperate in their actions."

Merlin said coldly:

"Your work focus has shifted towards the mutants this time, and I need you to keep up the high-pressure situation and catch every guy who dares to show up until they dare not take big action again!"

"Sir, and those hidden guys, how do we find them?"

Merlin's assistant, Babbitt, frowned and asked:

"If we still have to take care of intelligence work, then our manpower will be insufficient."

"No, we are only responsible for arrests. In addition to the sources of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own sources, we also have special channels for collecting news."

As soon as Merlin finished speaking, his mobile phone on the table made a soft sound, indicating the arrival of the text message.

Merlin picked up the phone and saw a list full of names and addresses, as well as the characteristics of various variants.

At the bottom of the SMS list, there is an arrow icon made up of sharp edges.

This is a sign of the Assassin's League, and this list is a "gift" sent to Merlin by Ms. Thalia, who is far from Europe and is regrouping.

"The information, names, characteristics, addresses, and even past experiences and family relationships of the 284 radical mutants."

Merlin waved his cellphone to his subordinates, he said easily:

"This is what you will do next week."

"According to the picture, I believe that this should not be difficult?"

—————————————————————

The time busy with work always passes quickly. In a blink of an eye, Merlin has been staying at the base of ‘Ghost’ for almost half a month.

During this half month, the captured thugs are sent here every day, and then imprisonment and censorship procedures are carried out. The information of those criminals who have been involved in crimes and crimes has been sorted out. They will be in a month After that, he was sent to a special court for trial.

It is a mutant law enforcement agency composed of the World Security Council, the North American government and moderate mutants, which is equivalent to a redirected "jury".

The establishment of this mutant court also represents the group of mutants previously excluded from the social order, and has returned to the category of human society legally.

Professor Charles is very supportive of the establishment of this court. He served as a counselor on the issue of mutants. The old man was very active in the discussion of the trial process. He was very inclined to put a layer of rules on his ethnic group at the legal level. shackles.

He is a really smart man.

The professor is well aware that these seemingly opposite shackles to freedom, these legal principles, are not a bad thing for mutants.

This is a framework, and only by entering this framework can the mutants achieve freedom that is truly worthy of being championed.

As Merlin said to Ruiwen before.

In the "human" framework, all issues are internal issues, and all can be resolved through mutual contact and negotiation.

Once out of the "human" framework, internal contradictions will be transformed into external confrontation...When the mutants recklessly cut themselves off from the human society, the freedom they want to chase will only be borne by all polities in this world. Seen as the biggest threat.

By that time, the mutants were truly enemies.

Merlin had been paying attention to this matter until another thing arrived, temporarily letting him escape from the mutant's affairs.

"Have you brought everything?"

In Hell's Kitchen, at midnight, in the living room of the House of Blood, Merlin said to Elsa, who was packing up:

"Think about where to go?"

"I might go to my father."

Elsa packed her brown backpack. She stood up and looked back at the night outside the house of blood. She said:

"But it is also possible to walk around. After all, my father would not let me participate in Dracula's affairs, there must be his reason."

"Ok."

Merlin nodded, and tonight he seemed a little silent, and seemed to hold some words in his heart, trying to say, but unable to speak.

He took something out of his pocket and put it in Elsa's hand.

"Hold this."

He said that the girl in front of him said:

"It protects you when I am away."

Elsa looked at the blue steel square in her hand, and she was surprised to say:

"Isn't that your weapon? I remember, you told me it was locked."

"Su Rui helped me unlock my identity lock."

Merlin said to Elsa:

"You put your finger on its surface for 10 seconds and it will re-lock the user's identity."

"Do you care about me? Merlin."

Elsa holding the slightly heavy weapon, she stared at Merlin and said with ease:

"Why can't you just say it? It's so awkward."

Looking at Elsa's green eyes, Merlin turned his head slightly. After a few seconds, he said in a weak voice:

"Can you stay?"

"Do you want me to stay?"

Elsa looked at Merlin with a smile in her eyes. She seemed to tease him deliberately. She asked:

"I want to hear the truth."

"Ok."

Merlin nodded and said softly:

"I'm used to you being around and missing a piece of life, I will feel uncomfortable."

"Do not."

Elsa opened her arms and hugged Merlin gently. She kissed Merlin on the cheek and said in his ear:

"This is not the answer I want to hear, Merlin... but don't worry, I will be back soon..."

"Just like you can't bear me, I can't bear you...but you always don't take the initiative."

"Come on, let's go have a drink..."

"Go to my room..."
