[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Joanna didn't discuss her inner desire with Lucifer again.When Lucy asked her "Can you change to another one", Joanna woke up from the trance state.She immediately drank the wine in the glass, and then refused to have any discussion with Lucifer.

One of the reasons why she didn't like Lucifer's way of playing with people's hearts.But another more important reason was that she didn't dare to continue chatting with Lucifer.

Although the phrase "world peace" sounded almost like a joke to Lucifer, Joanna could also imagine how she would be ridiculed if Lucifer told Joanna's acquaintances about it.

But that wasn't the scariest thing in Joanna's eyes.What she is most afraid of is that Lucifer will induce her to tell the real reason for her longing for "world peace".

Under this high-sounding wish, what was concealed was a cowardly and selfish Joanna.

Whether the world is really peaceful, Joanna doesn't care.What she cares about is whether Steve will leave her.

To compete with the whole world for Steve's heart, Joanna had to admit that it was a stressful thing for her.And she had to face this weird pressure.

Although the first step of discussing countermeasures did not go very smoothly, neither Lucifer nor Joanna showed any impatience or sarcasm towards each other.Both of them knew very well that this might be their only chance to catch the thief.Especially for Joanna, whether she can find a proper solution is directly related to whether she can save her life.She still remembered that Lucifer once said that the tongue of lies cannot be peeled off unless she dies.If the other party came for the tongue of lies, there would be no reason to save her life, wait for her to live a happy life, and then snatch the tongue of lies from her in her dying years.

Joanna walked a little further away, so as not to be affected by Lucifer's confusion skills again.She retreated to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out the window: "So, does the other party know magic?"

Lucifer glanced at her: "Why are you running so far? What kind of shape are you making in front of the window? When is this? Can you close the drama on you?"

Joanna glanced at Lucifer: "I'm asking you seriously."

"I am also making a request very seriously."

Joanna had no choice but to go back to the sofa.

"Do I need to worry about my personal safety?" Joanna thought for a while and picked up the most urgent question.

"What do you think?"

Joanna nodded: "Need."

Lucifer shrugged and started asking Joanna about the surveillance records again.Joanna answered everything she knew in detail.

After the two chatted for a while, Joanna asked again: "Do I need...to ask my friends for help?"

Lucifer still maintained his usual way of answering: "What do you think?"

Joanna nodded and took out her mobile phone: "It is necessary."

Steve is abroad, and he won't be coming back for a while.Even if he could come back, Joanna didn't want to make him go all the way back to China because of this unfinished business.After thinking about it, the matter of the tongue of lies, so far, apart from Steve, there are only a few people who know about it.Tony, Natasha, Banner who are Avengers, and... Coulson who is unemployed at home.

The Avengers are busy!Just look at the frequency and length of Steve's messages.But Coulson?S.H.I.E.L.D. has collapsed, what else can he do besides go to the government to receive unemployment benefits?

Joanna called Coulson almost without thinking about it.

After learning about the situation, Coulson didn't immediately say whether to help or not. He pondered for a long time on the other end of the phone, and finally said "I'll get back to you" before hanging up.

However, Coulson never contacted Joanna again.When Joanna's phone rang again, Tony's name was displayed on the screen.Joanna, who thought that Coulson was still thinking about countermeasures, answered the phone as if nothing happened.

"Still in Los Angeles?" Tony's question was a little haphazard.

"Otherwise where else can I go?"

"Very well. We'll be there this evening."

"Today? What do you mean?" Joanna was at a loss, feeling that she couldn't keep up with the hacker's father's brain speed.

"You'll understand when you get there." Tony dropped the words in an unclear tone, and unilaterally cut off the contact.

Joanna couldn't figure out what was going on, and was convinced that the Avengers knew nothing about the suspect and Hannibal.In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Joanna even specifically asked Lucifer before Tony came to Los Angeles, so that he would not miss the trap no matter what.

But when Joanna saw Natasha and Tony getting off the Quinjet one after the other, Joanna knew that things might not be what she thought.But even at that moment, Joanna did not give up on her script, she still smiled carefreely, and greeted them enthusiastically to ask why they came together.

But when Steve got off the plane right after him, Joanna's smile froze on her face, and the good psychological defense line she had established collapsed at the moment.Joanna let go of the hand holding Natasha, like a child who has been caught doing something wrong, she unconsciously lowered her head.

Tony raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it a welcome ceremony? Why, seeing your boyfriend suddenly stop welcoming you?"

Joanna glanced at Tony: "Can you not make fun of me?"

Tony rolled his eyes, and without talking nonsense with Joanna, he walked towards Lucifer's territory.Lucifer stood at the door, saying nothing to let Tony in.

"Let me think about it, forcing Joanna to call Coulson for help. I guess you, a fallen angel, can't solve the problem. If you can't solve it, let's get out of the way. We who are engaged in scientific research and inventions and you guys The magic stick is different, my time is precious."

Lucifer showed a threatening smile: "You are still so arrogant in my territory? Chloe is not here today, don't think I won't throw you all out."

Tony didn't answer, stood still, and turned his head to wink at Natasha.

Natasha understood, and stepped forward to show Lucifer her SMS record: "I have already sent a message to Inspector Deke, and she will arrive in about ten minutes."

Lucifer was very dissatisfied with this threatening approach: "More than ten minutes is enough for me to throw you across the road."

"And we'll just lie there." Tony didn't have any celebrity self-awareness, "until Inspector Decker comes to visit us."

"you!"

"Come on, we are here to help, shouldn't angels be more humble and grateful?"

Lucifer couldn't say a long list of MMPs in his stomach, so he could only turn sideways in the end and welcome the Avengers in.

Steve was at the end, while Joanna stood nervously by the side of the road like that, holding the hem of her clothes, afraid to go up to greet Steve.

Steve was a little angry when he heard the news that Joanna had concealed the danger from him.But soon, his anger was suppressed by a kind of pity mixed with helplessness.With Joanna right in front of him at this moment, Steve found himself unable to utter a word of reproach.

In the end, he just walked up to Joanna and said softly, "Come on, let's go in and talk."

Joanna raised her eyes and peeked at Steve's face, only to see Steve looking at him with tolerance.

"Aren't you... aren't you abroad?"

Steve frowned subconsciously as if remembering a piece of bad news: "The matter has come to an end, I'm going back to my country in the morning."

"Oh." Joanna originally wanted to talk to Steve about why he didn't come to see her immediately after returning to China, but then she thought that she might be accused by Xingshi later!In order to avoid raising the hatred value too high at this moment, Joanna wisely chose to keep her mouth shut.

Steve gently put his arms around Joanna's shoulders, who looked uncomfortable: "Let's go in first."

When the two passed by Lucifer.Lucifer, who had been staring at the two of them, couldn't help muttering: "Isn't it good to want such a handsome man? What kind of world peace do you want? My brain is sick."

Steve:? ? ? ?

Joanna quickly took two steps towards the door. Although Steve was a little puzzled, subconsciously, in order to keep up with Joanna's footsteps, he didn't stop to ask Lucifer what he said just now.

When everyone gathered in Lucifer's living room, the first thing Tony did was to make things difficult for Lucifer, saying that Lucifer didn't know how to treat guests, they all came with such a drink, and didn't even give them a drink send it.

Since Chloe had already arrived, Lucifer could only suppress his dissatisfaction, smiled apologetically at everyone, and then pointed to his wine cabinet and refrigerator, inviting everyone to help themselves.

Joanna, who knew that she was now a guilty person, immediately opened the wine cabinet and refrigerator sensibly, and after asking everyone what they liked, they brought drinks to everyone.

Holding the whiskey with ice, Tony wrinkled his nose in disgust.Lucifer thought he was going to say something critical, but Tony went straight to the point.

"I heard from Amber that the thief who stole the tongue of lies has been found?" Tony said this to Lucifer, but his eyes were on Joanna.

"I found it, not found it." Lucifer sounded angry and frustrated, "By the time I know this, the tracking time for magic traces has passed."

Tony stood on the same side as Lucifer for the first time: "That's true, some people should really reflect on this."

Joanna lowered her head involuntarily upon hearing this.She stared at the ice floe in her drink glass as if she were staring at a diamond.

Just as she was trying not to pay attention to their accusations inside and outside the words, and let her mind go blank for a while, Steve's hand floated up gently, wrapping her hand holding the drink glass firmly and gently.

The palm of the hand is a bit icy cold, and the back of the hand is Steve's temperature.

Joanna, who knew she had done something wrong, felt relieved at the moment.As long as Steve is there, no matter what happens, she feels at ease.
