Chapter 169 Aftermath



"Sir, what is your opinion of Merlin?"

"Based on our interactions today, he is a capable person who can also control himself."

"Do you think the disciplinary measures he took were reasonable?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know the details of this matter very well, so I can't answer you at the moment."

"Sir, after Merlin cast the spell, and the white raven passed through your body, did you feel any discomfort?"

"Em...it's like a person starts work at nine in the morning and finishes get off work at nine at night, a total of twelve hours of busy work. The work is continuous and there is no time to catch your breath even if you want to be lazy. After finishing, you are still immersed in a world of exhaustion and cannot break free."

Merlin's magic infused a sense of lightness into every capillary in the body, with the heaviest parts feeling the most pronounced sensation, sweeping away the leaden heaviness.

If it weren't for Merlin's magic, I wouldn't have realized how exhausted my body was.

The reporters, instructed by the American authorities, wanted the celebrities present to express their condemnation of Merlin.

But nobody's stupid enough to jump out and condemn the other party the moment Merlin leaves.

What if Merlin's abilities are like Voldemort's, and he can sense when people speak ill of him, and ends up like Mirren?

The celebrities present either remained neutral and went through the motions, or directly became Merlin's supporters.

......

"name?"

“William, William Gibson.”

"Profession?"

"******"

"When did you become Merlin, and where did you obtain your magic?"

"I'm sorry, I've repeated myself many times, including all the tests you've done on me, I'm really not Merlin."

I don't know what happened at the time; I lost control of my body, and when I woke up, I was in the hospital with tubes all over my body.

William was deeply distressed; this was the fourth time he had been interrogated.

His performance at the first Nobel Prize ceremony was shown to him by his interrogators.

He'd never seen himself so cool before, even cooler than the protagonist in a fantasy movie. He'd thought Bill was the main character, but it turned out he was the real protagonist.

Or the main character who gets to show their face in front of everyone on the entire planet Earth.

Twelve hours have passed, and it is now conservatively estimated that at least three billion people across the entire planet recognize his face.

It has become the domain with the most visits recently.

The encrypted data released by Zheng Li from the American side caused great trouble for the American side and also angered people in other countries.

William felt pretty good about not having to go through interrogation, as he could keep watching the videos to relive the experience.

After all, it's him in the video, even though he wasn't the one operating it.

It's like how some people enjoy watching deepfake videos.

Having such a highlight in one's lifetime is enough; making a fortune as an internet celebrity afterward is a piece of cake.

William knew that if he could get out alive, Hollywood moguls would be waving their cash around trying to sign him.

Even though he had no prior acting experience.

"Okay, you still claim you're not Merlin. Do you even know Merlin? Did you actively cooperate with them in this operation?"

"No, I don't know Merlin, or rather, I know of his existence and some basic information about him, but I have never communicated with him through any channel."

He used my body without my knowledge; Merlin didn't ask for my consent.

"Then think carefully about all the people you've met during this time and list them all out."

"I'd like to ask when I can leave?"

"If you cooperate fully, you'll be able to leave very soon."

That night, William stopped breathing in his bed.

"Sure enough, all the signs indicate that his body is nearing failure. It's already quite an achievement that we've kept him going for so long."

"Why doesn't he feel it himself? He doesn't seem to realize that his body is about to give out?"

"I don't know. It must be Merlin's tampering with his body that had the effect. Magic is a field we don't understand at all."

We'll have to wait for a detailed autopsy to see if any new findings are discovered.

According to the current test results, the same protein found in William's body is present in yours.

"Okay, I need you to make a judgment: will it have an impact if the autopsy is performed 12 hours later, or will it affect the results if the equipment is not precise enough?"

If we can't delay any longer, we need to cooperate with the European side.

The American side originally wanted to bring William back to America as soon as possible.

It's highly unlikely that William is Merlin himself, but this is at least the first body Merlin has parasitized on Earth, making it of great research significance.

America doesn't want to share with the Europa League.

However, considering the timeliness of the research, they chose to conduct an examination in Stockholm first.

The research report and specific samples obtained should be shared with the Europa League.

There is now more research that can be done on the corpses, and it would be best if the Europa League could be kept out of it.

William was an American, and the Americans wanted to take him back, so the Europeans didn't dare to openly obstruct him.

"I don't know, there are just too many unknown variables. Maybe we can get more information by dissecting it here, but if we dissect it on the way back or on the plane, we will miss a lot of information."

Witten, we shouldn't listen to those politicians; the best course of action is to conduct joint research with the Europa League.

If we miss a discovery, who knows when the next opportunity will come?

Witten was the highest-ranking person in the American faction in Stockholm. He was not involved in the plan to force Merlin to reveal himself; on the contrary, he voted against it during the internal discussion.

As a mathematician and physicist, Witten needed to listen to the opinions of the experts present at this time.

Therefore, Wei Teng was not affected; he was only briefly restrained at the scene.

After a moment's thought, Witten said, "Contact the Europa League and prepare to organize a joint dissection experiment!"

He planned to act first and inform the authorities later.
