[Zhongyingmei] The Spirit Master is backstabbing again

The kitten's paws rested softly on Selinya's shoulders, and the pink and tender pads stepped on her arms.The poor frightened kitten looked really small and didn't know how it managed to climb the tree.Now he is burying his head in Selinya's arms and acting like a baby, with a grievous expression on his face.

The instinct of a small animal made it approach Selina, who was a magical creature—and had just worn the [Card Cat Demon].Learn from the other person the sense of security that makes it calm down gradually.

Celinya touched its forehead, and was a little surprised, "Wow, you're so cute."

——Seeing this scene, a precise summary quickly flashed through Peter's mind: This is a cat sucking a cat.

Both are cats, and both are attracted to each other.

Cats suck each other, they are all happy, only the Twolegs are excluded.

"..." Thinking about it this way, I feel that it is too difficult for them.

Bucky stared at it for a moment, but he didn't go straight to it like Peter on the side.

Instead, Selinya noticed his gaze, took the initiative to hold the kitten in her arms and held it in front of Bucky, "Does Mr. Bucky want to touch it too?"

"..." This picture is too familiar.

Bucky feels like he's back in time when they were in the mansion—

After Tony emphasized, 'I'm just wondering if it's as soft as it looks', he poked the cat's tail secretly; Selina looked at Bucky who didn't join the battle, and hesitantly held his tail up. past.She looked up at Bucky a little uncertainly, "Do you want to touch too?"

The little animal solemnly put its tail in front of the stray—oh no, now he has a home—the big cat, full of doubts, waiting for an answer.

Hmm - as it is now.

Bucky wanted to laugh a little, and even felt that what Selina handed over was not a kitten rescued by the side of the road, but her own tail or ears.

He raised his hand and patted the kitten's head with a very unfamiliar movement, "It really likes you."

Selinya has always been unable to deal with small animals. After all, she is the one who thinks that the "three-headed hell dog is cute and well-behaved"...

"Because our relationship is two-way; just like cats like me, I also like cats very much," Serenya thought for a while, and added seriously, "I also like dogs, wolves, and birds. And flowers..."

Like a real estate introduction of a building property, it carefully introduces all the species that already exist in the home.

Peter & Bucky & Clark who just walked over: "..."

Oh, is this "Two-Way Emotions"?

... Great, I learned it.

System: Kiss, I suggest you choose to shut up.

Stop it, stop it, I'm afraid.If you continue to summon a few more animal-type words and spirits in the future, you will really become the king of the sea.

The little milk cat seemed to understand Selinya's "scumbag declaration", and suddenly raised its head to look at Selinya, and protested with an "oooooooooooooooo" in disbelief.Even the docile cat's paws pressed against Selinya's collarbone angrily, but still did not stretch out the nails, only the flesh pads were softly stepped on, crying with grief and indignation.

Because of the influence of the remaining cards, Selinya can still understand the cat's voice.

Just like this cat, it is actually fighting against fate: "How can she like dogs?!"

"You got it wrong! I'm a cat?! How can you like a dog and not choose to like me?!"

Selinya & the system who understood everything: "..."

——Probably every cat is actually a confident kitten in his heart.

However, the confident kitty seemed to be hit hard by this incident. Until the three of Serenia found the cat owner along the contact information written on the pet tag, it still hadn't recovered from this major blow, and it was still looking sluggish. look of loss.

The owner of the cat is the owner of a bookstore. After seeing the kitten, he immediately expressed his solemn thanks to Serinya and the others, "It ran out while I was changing the cat litter."

That kind of resolute back to freedom... really reveals a kind of stubborn taste of #谢谢了主 Tonight I’m going to sail away#.

He added fearfully, "Fortunately, I have your help, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Although he complained about his cat's disobedience, in fact, he had instinctively opened a cat can to comfort (what he thought) 'poor frightened cat'.

Although Selinya's adaptation to human beings has become much better than at the beginning, she still silently took two steps back in the face of the stranger's enthusiastic attitude, and handed over the right to speak to [Good at Diplomacy] (abbreviated as Talking More, Peter who can say hi to unfamiliar teammates on the battlefield.

Peter: "...haha."

"Actually, Mr. Superman discovered it—" the good neighbor also explained very cooperatively.

In fact, Superman didn't stay on the side of the road for too long. He probably had other things to be busy with. After nodding to Serenia and the three of them gently with his eyes, he left the scene.

...Superman looks good when he flies, but it's not the same as Mr. Stark's style...Superman looks like a red flying bird, and also looks a bit like Icarus in Selene's imagination.Perhaps because they're both chasing the sun, there will be similarities in Ben.

The kitten on the side of the road was sulking and eating hard, but the kitten Selinya was much happier than it. She had retreated to the outside room and was intently scanning all kinds of books in the bookstore.

——She doesn't need canned cat food, she will make herself happy.

And as the mission target of Selina's "outing mission", Bucky also looked up with her to the books that were mostly unfamiliar to him.

Bucky's eyes paused, and his eyes fell on the book "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" on the top shelf.It was a book he hadn't heard of before and presumably came out after everything had happened.

Both he and Steve are from Brooklyn, the ghetto...

Sensing Bucky's distraction, Selinya followed the other's gaze and raised her head together, catching the list of book titles with some difficulty—after all, the height was too high for her, "Ah, it's this book! "

"Read it?" Seeing Selina's difficult movements, Bucky took down the book and asked casually, "What do you think of it?"

Selinya subconsciously answered her deepest impression of this book: "It's delicious..."

Bucky: "...ha." He couldn't help lowering his head and laughing out loud, his tone a little helpless, "Well, this is probably called 'seriously chewing knowledge', which means you take it very seriously."

If he'd managed to hide the smile in his voice, it might have sounded more like a sincere compliment.

Selinya: "...Yes, right." She was really serious about her reading process. She read in the middle of the night and rummaged through the food in the system backpack—this is strong evidence that she reads seriously!

In fact, the book "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" tells the story of the protagonist living in the slums breaking through barriers and going out of the slums to pursue his dreams.

But Selinya is right, there are indeed many descriptions about food in the book, and what impressed Selinya the most is——

Just like what happened in real life, the poor family in the story has poor food conditions and can only rely on moldy bread for food.But the mother in the story can make a lot of delicious food with moldy bread.Save a penny and a penny to buy condiments and pick up some of the cheapest ingredients to change the family's living conditions as much as possible.

For example, moldy bread is melted into water to make bread batter, and then sprinkled with salt, pepper, onion and other spices that are temporarily bought for a few cents, put it in the oven and bake it again into golden yellow bread, and serve it with tomato juice as a seasoning; it can also be made into A dessert called bread pudding; and balls of moldy bread batter mixed with the last scraps of cheap minced meat and diced onions and fried...

...Although the text reveals a strong atmosphere of poverty, it also looks really delicious.

Selinya was yearning for it, but she was also a little envious.

If only she could have seen this book earlier, like when she also lived on hard black bread... Oh, of course, then Selina wouldn't have had the opportunity to use hard black bread. Bread to practice the food recorded in the book, but at least she can have more material for imagination.

And the direct consequence of the [Late Night Reading] incident is——Selinya, who has never had any desire to pursue "satiety", after searching the system backpack and finding no food, she ran to the kitchen lightly and continued to search for food .

...and was caught red-handed by Jason.

With a 'click', the kitchen lights turned on, and Jason leaned on the sofa with his arms folded and stared at Selinya.

At that moment, Selinya regretted it very much: why didn't she hang up the cat monster card with the effect of [Concealed Whereabouts]?

"You can explain that you are looking for supper for those two dull dogs." Jason raised his eyebrows, looking for a reason for Selinya very 'intimately'.

Selina, who almost never lies: "..." Good idea, but I want to wear the [Rocky] card first, to experience the influence of rhetoric brought by the body of trickery and lies.

But soon, Jason still took out the book that Selina had just finished reading. ...he signaled to the family red robin to inspect Selene's bedroom.Celinya realizes like never before how smart her family's animals really are.

Although he only glanced at the book for a few seconds, Jason immediately got what Selinya was thinking, but his first reaction was: "..."

Damn, after she finishes reading "Shan Hai Jing", she won't really use that book as a recipe, will she? !

Jason resisted the urge to be violent and yanked open the refrigerator door.

"Moldy bread——" Jason carried Selina, who was still in her pajamas, to the sofa, and let her be next to the warm and fluffy three-headed dog as companions, "Don't imagine this material."

Orphans who once lived in Crime Alley and ate baguettes for a living had never eaten moldy bread.

When Jason put the temporary late-night snack in front of Selinya, the little girl stared at the thick soup and sandwiches for a long time.

—Did she get up to find food entirely because she was hungry?

It does not seem.

She is yearning for the strong love revealed in the words...the kind of love for life, love for family, and love for food.It is these strong feelings that create a series of simple but heart-warming delicacies born under difficult circumstances.

Yearn for, and envy.

But now she has it too.

How could the spiritualist who stuffed the hard bread into her mouth think that she could still experience the incredible experience of someone preparing supper for her.

While Selinya tried hard to control the corners of her mouth, she silently tried to pull out the lettuce from the sandwich and hand it to the three-headed dog behind her. ——The proficiency in the movements, the tacit understanding with the three-headed dog, it can be seen that the ghost has done it many times.

"..." Jason, who was sitting on the sofa, flipped through two pages of the book vigorously.

"..." So Selina quietly stuffed the lettuce back.

Selinya recalled Jason's supper, and then summed up Bucky again: "It's really delicious."

Bucky: "..." The little Brooklyn prince looked at the book in his hand with a complicated expression.So it turns out this is actually a cookbook?

"Are you guys discussing what to eat?" Peter finally appeased the bookstore owner, he leaned over and asked curiously, "Are you planning our dinner!"

Bucky was silent for a moment: "Probably so."

He felt like laughing, and also a little helpless, but it was more of a kind of relaxation - because now there was nothing that could make him tense like before.Bucky shook the book in his hand, and said to Selina: "Since you have done such a thoughtful post-reading review, it sounds like I have to read it a few times."

"Heart"

"After Reading"

Bucky wondered what 'Brooklyn' looked like through other people's eyes and descriptions.

Brooklyn—Bucky made a point of going there after he woke up.He knew Steve must be too.

Everything changes so much.An alley where Steve was cornered and beaten up by gangsters has become a road, and the shops he used to pass have all been demolished and relocated.It's hard to find memories of the past in that strange place.

…but the memories of the past were in his mind, and in the memories of Steve and Natasha.

Bucky Barnes has a past, present, and future.

...Okay, of course, another main reason for Bucky to buy this book is: he is also really curious, what kind of food is so delicious?Can you make Selina emphasize so many times? !

Peter politely didn't ask too much about the book in Bucky's hand, but casually scanned the surrounding bookshelves, "Wow, there are so many kinds of books in this bookstore."

This is a somewhat British-style bookstore. Every bookcase is made of wood, and it is tall and long.

Peter looked at the bookshelf closest to him, "I haven't seen so many versions of fairy tales yet." There are several versions of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Andersen".

Although Peter's parents died when he was young and he was adopted by his uncle and aunt, his family loved him very much.Childhood bedtime stories are also an integral part of his experience.

Because I just heard Selina and Bucky discussing food (probably), Peter's focus can't help but crooked, whispering to his former self, "I was very curious when I was young, Snow White How delicious does that poisonous apple that you ate look like."

Only then can a girl who has been hunted down eat it without hesitation.

Bucky thought the divergent thinking of the two young people was very cute, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Selina's surprised voice.

"Ah? What?" Selinya opened her eyes wide. "Isn't the story of Snow White about the issue of inheritance?"—Of course, this story also includes the refining of potions and the forging of magic mirrors. Valuable information.

if not?Isn't the queen chasing down the princess so hard to solve the heir and then inherit the throne herself?

Celinya thought for a while, and then added, "Cinderella probably has this theme too. Isn't the reason why she was bullied by her stepmother because she is the legal first heir of the manor?"

Peter & Bucky: "...Your legal knowledge is very proficient." Fortunately, you are reading the fairy tale book itself, not a movie or animation.Otherwise I am really afraid that you will be sued by Dioni.

System: "..." Holyshi——Calm down, don't swear, be a civilized AI. holyshift it.

I fucking know how the host can sum up so many tortures such as the Wheel of Ixion when reading the myth.

The system has no doubts that if the host lives in a fairy tale world, she will take the lead in inheriting the family business before the prince arrives on horseback.

"It's a very novel post-reading angle," Peter stammered once again feeling the embarrassment of having nothing to say because of Selina, "It's worth doing in-depth research—how about we discuss dinner? "

"I remember that there are many well-known gourmet restaurants in the metropolis."

sorry!He didn't change the subject on purpose!But he really didn't know how to continue talking!

Celinya looked at the two of them suspiciously, but still replied cooperatively: "Okay."

[Food] is a topic that can be discussed for a long time.

Bucky didn't have too many requirements for dinner. After all, compared with what he had experienced before, this kind of food is enough to keep you full (and even fat) now, which is already too satisfying.

Peter is also a 'I can! ' optimism.After all, considering his aunt Mei's cooking skills... Peter has long mastered the skill of 'being able to eat harmless food smoothly, even if it tastes like a bowl of carbide that was almost refined'.

The final result turned out to be that among the three, Selina, who needed the least food, thought carefully for a moment, and then proposed: "Chinese restaurant?"

Through Xue Lier's hard work and heartfelt recommendation a few days ago, Selinya completely fell into the Chinese restaurant where she worked.

How delicious are the dishes Shirley stuffed for her——Selinya even felt that even if she didn't have the tool of 'chopsticks', she would have to draw a magician in the card pool on the spot, and then use two magic wands together Use them together as chopsticks, and continue eating.

...Yes, it is delicious to this extent.

So Peter searched on Twitter and ins, and the three quickly decided on a Chinese restaurant that looked good, not far away.

But on the way to the restaurant, Selinya's attention was attracted by an ice cream stand on the street.

"Oh!" Peter immediately recognized the familiar ice cream stand, "Those are Avengers-flavored ice creams! I heard there are Justice League flavors?" But I don't know if the stall owner has a joint name fee...

[Making human beings into food flavors] - this is something that Selinya can't even think about.

Bucky is about the same.

Seeing the eyebrows of both of them furrowed together, Peter tried to explain, "umm—they still have 'Tso's Chicken' after all! It shouldn't be difficult to understand that there is Stark ice cream... right?"

probably?

Selinya had never eaten ice cream. Under Peter's encouragement and recommendation, she stood hesitantly at the ice cream stand for a psychological struggle, and finally pointed her finger at the 'Black Widow Flavor', "...then this one?"

【Ding--】

Following the reminder from the smart butler, Tony, who was staying in the studio, tapping and studying the new armor, immediately slowed down his hands, "Is there any good news?"

"It has been checked that the black card you bound has a new consumption record."

Hearing this sentence, Tony raised his eyebrows proudly, "Good job! This is a very good start!"

He was still worried just now, whether Selinya would be as cautious as before, refusing to spend money.It seems that [task reimbursement] is really a very useful and reliable reason, and it can continue to be used in the future...

Thinking of this, Tony proudly asked: "What kind of expenditure?"

"New purchase: $3."

Tony instinctively leaned back tactically, leaning on the work chair, "? Are you sure you didn't miss two zeros?"——Although 300 yuan is not a huge amount, it is still better than [three dollars] It fit his imagination.

That is a black card, a black card that can be swiped casually with no upper limit.

#please respect money

#Also respect the black card

The smart butler didn't speak, but just put the consumption record on the light screen in front of Tony.

Looking at the ice cream consumption records on the screen, Tony: "..."

There's nothing wrong with buying ice cream, but—

Look at a 'Black Widow Ice Cream', a 'Captain America' and a 'Spiderman' on the list, Tony, who feels unexpectedly upset:  …

Where is that ice cream shop?Can he buy it now?

This is the first time Serenia has ice cream.Staring at the small ball that was constantly emitting cold air, Selinya cautiously pressed her upper lip to test it.

It's cool, slightly bitter, but the overall tone is very sweet.

A few seconds after the cold entrance, Selinya realized that it was chocolate flavor mixed with some coffee flavor.

Selinya took a deep breath, and immediately leaned over and rubbed a few more times, realizing painfully: I missed a lot in my previous life!

ice cream!It's delicious!

Eating ice cream in winter is a wonderful treat.Because of the temperature in winter, the melting time of ice cream will also slow down, leaving more time for tasters to enjoy.

Peter was happy that the ice cream stand had new balls of his own flavor, but at the same time continued to struggle: "So did the ice cream stand pay the franchise fee and joint name fee?"

Peter didn't ask this question, because he was worried that Selina would tell some fairy tales to explain the economic law—please!He wants to have an unspoiled childhood memory!

Selinya ate ice cream very slowly, even feeling reluctant to part with her.

It was not until she was less than 200 meters away from the restaurant that she solemnly swallowed her last sip of coolness.

In an instant, Selinya made serious calculations: How much does it cost to 'buy an ice cream stand'?She could literally fit the entire ice cream stand into the system backpack, just like she put the boat!

... This is probably the first time that Selinya has such a strong urge to consume.

"Mr. Kent!" Peter's greeting voice interrupted Selina's desire to shop.

——It’s the reporter from the Daily Planet.I have interviewed Tony several times before.

Clark's status as a 'little reporter', in fact, is only compared with his powerful status as a 'superman', which makes him look like an 'ordinary little reporter'.

But in fact, Clark has won the Pulinzer Journalism Award-the highest international award in the field of journalism, and he can be regarded as an elite talent in this industry.

So Clark's day-to-day interview work is... really busy.

What's more, he has to shoulder the mission of Superman.

Seeing Mr. Kent's smile, Selinya finally had the confidence to confirm that her prosopagnosia was not too serious.She was right.

So Icarus is... still being an ordinary person in his daily life.

Selina didn't stay on this issue for too long.

Because of the alarm sound from the system, and the 'sensitivity to dark power' from the blood of magical creatures, she quickly noticed——

[Ding dong, it's time for the haunted house adventure, the host please get ready. 】

-

"So you mean, you've been suspecting that a devil is haunting you all this time?" Watson asked Ajie incredulously, "Because there is a strange heavy makeup in the place you chose baby?"

And you still endured it for several days before saying it?

If it wasn't for Sherlock's deduction that there is something wrong with your emotions, would you still plan to keep hiding it? !

Brother, you really deserve to be a CIA talent.Amazing.admire.

Watson waited for a long time before complaining, "Hey, are you planning to write a million-word paper based on this question and send it to SCI?"

SCI, an internationally recognized important search tool for scientific statistics and evaluation.Whether a paper is included in SCI is almost one of the important criteria for evaluating academic level and ability.

"The success rate of being able to send SCI is too low," Mary added - no, it was an addition, "you should yell holyshit." It might be okay to submit an article to a foundation that studies weird creatures, anyway, you are all weird .

...Well, with such a tacit cooperation, the two of them really deserve to be husband and wife.

Ajie, who was educated back and forth but couldn't resist: "..." Grass.damn it.Although he already knew that Mary was not a traitor, he still wanted to continue swearing.

Mary thought with satisfaction that the kind and caring little girl was right that [persuasion by physical means] is a very useful skill.
