[Zhongyingmei] Crowdfunding a heroine

At five o'clock in the morning on September 9, it was raining lightly in Baltimore.

The rain was lingering, and Lainate stood at the entrance of the underground passage, tiptoeing and listening to the street performers playing "ifidieyoung". This seemed to be a couple. The man's fingers were dancing on the guitar, and the woman was singing, as if no one was around. Exchange a vague and ambiguous line of sight from time to time.

The singing sounded far away, and the incoming subway crushed the lingering sound. Lena, carrying bread and coffee, came over and held the child's hand.

There were not many people on the subway, Lena closed her eyes to catch up on sleep, Lainate lowered his head, and took out Lena's cell phone.

The latest page was the morning news from Baltimore, reporting that the ogre had been caught with the help of a special FBI team.

The second page is about the mass fighting that took place in the Eastern District. Surprisingly, after the fighting was over, the surviving members walked into the police station to surrender one by one. The news column used a question as the title: Conscience Discovered?Or is there another picture?

The third page shows that the strongholds of local black/evil forces in Baltimore are frequently attacked, and the public security in the city has improved significantly.

Lennart reached over the leg of the woman next to her to touch her other pocket, and Lena opened her eyes and held the brat's flailing hand.

In that pocket of hers was a small box containing three tubes of injections.

Kind contribution from Hydra.

GGK1202, a superpower enhancer, was developed by Hydra, and these three tubes are the most stable results. The side effect is just to make people collapse after the effect ends... As for the previous failed product, it caused it without any effect. side effect.

When the subway arrived, Lena took the child and walked out. The crowd was like raindrops falling on the glass, diverting at various points. It was not until she returned to the hotel that Lena had a chance to eat two bites of bread. Couldn't eat well.

Lainate took a sip of the coffee secretly, and said twice, why would he like to drink such bitter things when he grows up?Mingming frowned while drinking... He looked up at Lena and asked, "Do you want to use that thing for me?"

"Why do you think that?" Lena asked.

Lainate rolled his eyes: "Because I won't die? Just recharge me and I can be alive and kicking."

"However..." His voice paused, "If you want to use it yourself, you can, because you can be resurrected after death, just to consume me. But if I die when you die, and you don't consume the heart to make it If I am resurrected, you cannot be resurrected."

"...Don't guess casually, has no one ever told you that you talk a lot?"

The child whimpered and turned his head away, ignoring her.

The rain outside was getting bigger and bigger, blurring the whole city. She didn't realize until soon after she came to Baltimore that Lainate was the biggest hook the mysterious man gave her. They shared their lives, or in other words, the balance of their lives was dominated by Lena. Dominant, she could theoretically live forever.

When she first came to Baltimore, she was very confused. This is a pure and strange city. Her past was all in Kansas, and she almost stayed in New York as an adult, fighting for a better offer.

Baltimore is different, where black drug lords gather, robberies and shootings happen every night, Lena walks 300 meters on a street and is bound to be harassed by crack addicts, the blue light district around Hopkins There are black people and raging social loafers wandering around all the year round, and she has a child with her.

Every time she gets pulled over, Lena wants to lift the boy up and tell the group that this guy is more dangerous than all of you put together, please get out of here, okay?

Originally, Lena stayed in this city just to wait for the deal between Hydra and the local forces...but after a long time, she wanted to do something.

Strangers passing by in this city, some will have a bright future, some will fall into darkness, some will have their spines broken, and some will end their lives early because of the bad crime rate.

And Lena can change most of the city's problems—she clearly has that ability.

Maria emerged and looked at her with a smile. The old man's face was slightly distorted under the reflection of the rain outside the window.

Most of the main members of the power gang have had nightmares for many days in a row, but the more Lena knows, the more powerless she feels.

——The irony is that this is one of the most important economic pillars of Baltimore. If this huge group of forces is completely destroyed, the most likely result is that half of the city's families will lose their source of income, causing a large number of middle-aged laborers to have nothing to do. Loitering in the streets, there will be more cases without restraint.

During this time, Baltimore's prisons are almost filled with people Lena thinks must be punished. Strange horror dreams and red-haired old women appearing in the shadows have gradually become Baltimore urban legends.

You can't save everyone, she told herself.

And you're not a good person—when you don't have the ability, Lena's choice is the choice of ordinary people. She protects herself wisely, doesn't mind helping others within the scope of her ability, and withdraws as soon as it involves herself... Now her ability has inflated her Her ambition is gradually losing her sense of dread and dread, and she feels that the current self is very dangerous.

Psychic powers are used a lot, sometimes Maria will inadvertently appear in every corner of the room, or go out with Lena, her living characteristics are becoming more and more obvious, they communicate occasionally, but more often, will remain silent.

Maria would speak of her snow-capped mountains, of her children who sleep forever, of the never-extinguishing closets of her old house, of the old man's red hair gilded by the sun, of his slow speech... These were Lena The ones that have not been set, seem to be automatically completed by the world. The characters in the novel have a complete life. She sometimes thinks that the other party really exists, but as long as she has a thought, Maria will disappear and not stay in the world. Little trace.

So Lena went to see a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist in Baltimore judged that she had schizophrenia and paranoia with a cigar in her mouth, but it was still possible. This unlicensed medical con artist has broken his head.

When Lena returned to the hotel room, Maria had knitted a smoky gray scarf of the same style for Lena.

The moment they opened the door, they looked at her together, so she closed the door expressionlessly and went downstairs to the bistro to order a cocktail.

……

On this rainy morning, Lena ordered a pasta at the tavern. The sauce was too much, and it was a bit salty. When she lowered her head, her hair would occasionally fall to the plate, so the fugitive suddenly realized , it's time for a haircut.

Leaving New York seems to be a past tense, everything is calm, Captain America and Iron Man are still exchanging soul states, so their news is less seen on social networking sites, and Lainate's ability is activated like last time to sweep everyone into it. To accumulate energy for a long time, we can only ask them to endure this state for a while.Lena dyed her blond hair black and had minor plastic surgery. The name on the new ID is Lena Lee, a Chinese-American.

The dining table was swaying suddenly, Lena turned her head, and found that the next table was dizzy from drinking early in the morning, with a big tongue clasping the shoulder of a waitress, the woman was struggling, Lena frowned slightly, as long as she wanted to, she would It can make this man faint, and everyone will think that he passed out drunk.

But at this time, a waiter came over and pulled the woman who was being pressed by the man. The man cursed a few words with his mouth open, and poured a glass of cold beer on the woman's head.

She hadn't seen this waiter recently, he seemed to have just arrived, he was tall from the back, but he was surprisingly silent during his actions.

Lena rested her chin and poked the spaghetti in front of her with a fork out of sheer boredom. The man fell down on the table in response and swallowed the remaining half of the curse.

The waiter was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to test his breath, only to find that he was just asleep and snoring.

Molly, the owner of the bar, came over and apologized to Lena after confirming that nothing happened.

A woman who lives on this street can come back intact every day when she goes out, Molly understands that no matter what the reason is, the other party is someone she can't afford to offend.

"No need to apologize, help me make another spaghetti with less meat sauce." Lena turned her head away, and happened to meet the waiter's eyes.

……Um?

……No way.

Molly glared at the stunned waiter, frowned and said, "Clark! Hurry up and help in the kitchen!"

Lena: "..."

Lena covered her forehead, staring at the rain curtain splashed on the window, not knowing how to organize her words for a moment.

Ten minutes later, the plate was gently placed on her table, but the people beside her did not leave.

She stared down at the noodles in front of her and squeezed out a word: "Sit."

Clark looked at her and was about to speak when Lena made a silent gesture. She lowered her voice and approached him, and said, "Shut up Kent, if you don't ask me, I won't ask you."

Clark sighed: "I just wanted to ask if there is anything you need help with?"

"No," she said grimly, "nothing."

Lena looked away: "How long will you stay in Baltimore?"

"I'm not sure," Clark said in a steady tone, "I want to travel around the world, how about you?"

"Traveling the world? Sounds cool," Lena said. "I've got something else to do. Tell me about your travels if we meet again."

"...Actually, I can talk about it now." Clark turned his head, and Lena had already stood up.

"See you next time!" She walked towards the stairs, patted Molly on the shoulder halfway, and said, "I paid for the meal."

After leaving Clark's sight, Lena rushed upstairs like a gust of wind. Maria and Lennart were leaning on the sofa watching "The Simpsons" like grandparents. The room was filled with the aroma of coffee, and Lennart was holding Sipping a cup of hot milk, Maria was knitting a scarf, which Lena suspected was for herself, so that all three of them would have a soot gray scarf.

She gently closed the door, her feverish mind slowly cooled down, she broke away from the strange state of "meeting an old friend in a foreign country, and I was wanted", and couldn't help knocking her head.

...That's fine, Clark is just an ordinary person, and he shouldn't be involved in his own affairs.

Lena's life right now is a mess.
