[Zhongyingmei] The Spirit Master is backstabbing again

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became quiet.It was so quiet that it seemed that what they were discussing was not some beautiful and blessed 'birthday wish', but some heavy and terrible topics.

Selinya answered very seriously, and she also turned her head to look at Jason seriously, "I can only think of this wish now."

But it is doomed not to be realized, so there is nothing to be sorry or pitiful about.

She never wastes time pitying herself or begging for sympathy.

There are too many creatures with tragic fates, and she just happened to be one of them.

And she was lucky enough to survive until she met the system, came to this world, and met Jason and the others—she was lucky enough.

Selina is really good at coaxing herself.

Selinya put the empty milk glass on the table, and asked Jason, "Do you still want to drink milk? I'll go heat another cup."

Jason didn't make any response, just looked at Selinya.His eyes were heavy on her.

"?" Jason's eyes made Selinya startled, and she didn't know what to say, but suddenly felt her heart throbbing and began to ache.

Is a kind of hindsight pain.

Because it has been in pain for too long, it is too numb and used to it, and even I am not aware of the pain.Only at this moment soaked in Jason's gaze, can he vaguely realize that he, too, is in pain.

Even the snow wolf and other animals became quiet, lying obediently on the floor and looking at Selinya.

After an unknown amount of time, Snow Wolf stood up, leaned over silently, and rubbed Selinya's calf with the side of his neck.A vague sob sounded from deep in his throat, as if he was carefully coaxing, or clumsily comforting.

This group of animals formed by the condensation of magical elements has no concept of parents or family members.Selinya summoned them, they are their masters, and they are also the family members they must protect most.

Celinya lowered her head to rub the snow wolf, and also looked away from Jason.

"..." Jason also looked away, took a few deep breaths to adjust his poor heartbeat and breathing.

【parents】.

This is a concept that Selina has never had the opportunity to approach.

And Jason's parents—

Jason's father died of hanging out with other criminals, and his adoptive mother died of a drug overdose.Jason had tried to do something, such as using his immature body to take care of his adoptive mother who was delirious after smoking high - but he couldn't do anything in the end.

It's just that there is another orphan who lost his parents in Gotham's crime alley.

Who cares about that besides Jason Todd.

Then Bruce adopted him... Ah, he later found out the identity of his biological mother, and arrogantly thought that the other party would want to meet him again, and went looking for her regardless of obstacles.

ending?There is no ending.

After the heartbeat and breathing rate gradually eased, Jason raised his hand and handed the box to Selinya.

"Ah!" Selinya was stunned before she realized, pointing to the box and then to herself, "Is this for me?"

After receiving Mr. Dick's birthday invitation, she did an emergency make-up lesson, and learned that in this world, people have the habit of eating cake, blowing out candles and giving gifts on birthdays——

Jason: "...Oh no, it's not for you, it's for showing off to you."

While saying this, he reluctantly stuffed the box into Selinya's hand.

Grass, otherwise!

Celinya's eyes were bent, and she solemnly declared: "Then I will take it apart."

Inside the box lay two pairs of earrings.

One pair is in the shape of a cross with sapphires of the same color as Selinya's pupils embedded in the middle; the other two are in the shape of wings.

For Selinya, [wings] is also a symbol with a unique meaning.

That is the symbol of Icarus.It is also in a very long time, her most vivid definition of freedom.

So after having the first pair of wings, even though they were succubus wings defined as 'useless' by the system, Selinya rushed to the sky in the middle of the night, approaching the freedom she always wanted most.

Selinya actually has two sets of ear piercings, but she doesn't have the habit of wearing earrings except for the decorations bound to the cards—after all, the reason for piercing ears is not to pursue beauty, but to look like Most wizards do, and wear more magic weapons.

...And of course, what Jason gave was not a simple decoration.

Under the stunned gaze of the system, he watched Jason Todd demonstrate various methods of using the earrings for the host—including but not limited to, the poisonous needle hidden at the bottom, the electric shock device hidden under the gem, And the indispensable liaison...

"..." The system's expression was numb, as if he had seen a miniature arsenal.Being able to avoid disarming and having everything you need is indeed very useful.

As Jason showed off his movements, Selinya sighed in surprise and joy, "It's great."

The tone was overwhelmed with excitement.

Holding the earrings in both hands, she looked at the gift and at Jason. Since Jason refused to accept "thank you", she thought for a long time before she finally thought of a sentence: "I like it so much."

And Jason just looked at her.

When Roy waited for the two outside the door, he immediately noticed the blue light flickering in Selina's hair through the archer's keen observation ability.

Arsenal nodded, not surprisingly.

He knew that Selina would definitely like it.

"My gift!" Roy handed the car keys in his hand to Serenia, "It has been modified! As long as you don't hit places like Arkham and S.H.I.E.L.D., the walls of other buildings will fall wherever you hit them." !"

Jay's way of driving around on a motorcycle is really not good!

Cool is cool enough!Damn it's not cold!

How can you live without a car in Gotham?

——Although his inspiration for giving the gift came from Jason, who was working on a modified car recently.

"Thank you—" Selinya had a complicated expression, "but I don't know how to drive—"

Sorry, she hasn't even learned to ride a bicycle yet!

"Of course I thought of it!" Roy clapped his hands confidently, "So I prepared a very rich meal for you..."

Roy bent down and took out a stack of driving guides from under the driver's seat, "Instructions!"

... "About these two or three small things about me being persuaded by fancy tricks in Gotham City"

"And before that, I even prepared the driver for you!"

As Roy added, he pointed to Jason and then to himself, "The equipment is very complete!"

"Of course you can also call Superman, or—" Roy tapped on the steering wheel, "connect an artificial intelligence inside."

This is beyond his competence, but Stark will certainly be happy to help.

So the system silently divides a small part of its own data flow into the car.

…Although he did not have any knowledge reserves related to driving materials at all… During the short drive to New York, he seized the opportunity to urgently search for 'Beginner Driver's Guide'.

Not a big problem Not a big problem.He has fully understood all that!The system confidently announced to Selinya, and got a hesitant answer from the other party, "Why don't you take a driver's license test first."

In fact, this is the first time Jason entered the Avengers Building with Selene.

——The last time he came here was because of Serenya's disappearance.Not a memorable experience for him.

Selina had long been authorized to enter and exit the building freely. She grabbed Jason and walked into the elevator, and asked the smart butler, "Mr. Stark, are they in the living room?"

After getting an affirmative answer, she pressed the elevator button.

The supposedly silent elevator keys suddenly made a crisp piano key sound.

Selina was visibly stunned.

Until the smart butler explained with a smile: "If you are interested, you can press all the elevator buttons in turn."

That would constitute a 'Happy Birthday Song'.

And it's not just elevators - any electrical appliance that can modify the bgm, has been switched to this song.

Celebrating with great fanfare, wanting to tell the world how important today is.

...This style is very Tony Stark.

Selinya touched her hot ears subconsciously, seriously wondering if she blushed accidentally again.

"Am I the first to send blessings!" Wanda couldn't wait to confirm again the moment she saw Selinya, "Really!"

Selina: "Ah—"

How should she answer this question?

"Wait," Tony looked at Wanda in disbelief, "shouldn't it be me?"

Peter quickly swallowed the juice and joined the fight: "Huh? But I think it will be me!"

——In a sense, this is actually a contest between Stark’s artificial intelligence.

Kuaiyin, who has a quick hand and a quick brain but an average internet speed, looked at Wanda in surprise, "Hey? Did you send the message by magic?"

"I ask Vision—" Wanda unconsciously blurted out because she was picking out small blueberries for Serenia, and after finishing speaking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and changed her words instantly, "umm—yes, please him. "

"Oh," Pietro nodded, annoyed, "Then I should ask him in advance."

Oops, accidentally missed it.

Vision: "..."

But these two kinds of requests are actually not the same, what do you think, Pietro?younger brother?

Tony just piled everything that Selene would love into today.

He pointed to the strange writing on the cake, "You seldom write these characters, so they may not be accurate."

That's also the result of Tony's reverse deciphering. In theory, it will be the text that Selina is used to - but the samples are too small, and even a genius brain cannot be 100% sure.

"That's right. Very accurate!" Selinya answered in seconds.

"God," Tony looked at her helplessly, "you haven't even seen it clearly yet."

There's no need to comfort him like this!Even if something goes wrong, they still have several backup three-layer cakes in the freezer!It can completely deal with all emergencies!

"But I know it means 'Happy Birthday'," Selina objected seriously, "this is what the text should mean."

It's about making them understand.

Makes sense, even Tony would have a hard time refuting it.

"And—" Selinya looked carefully at the writing on the cake, "It's indeed right!"

Pepper hugged the girl and rubbed her hair, "You are too sweet, sweet."

Here, Selina saw almost everyone she wanted to see-all the Avengers, Doctor Strange, and even Clint's daughter, whom she had only heard of but saw for the first time.

The little girl is very small, but she is very smart. She stares at Serinya intently and refuses to look away. She tails her back and calls her "sister".

Selinya has absolutely no experience in dealing with children of this age. She looked at the other party helplessly, her fingers curled up in resistance, with 'I can't, I can't, ah, ah, she's too young!' written all over her face! '

Received Celinya's help-seeking gaze, Jason: "..."

This, he also won't.

"Don't be nervous, she likes you very much." Fortunately, with the help of Laura and Natasha, they comforted Selina, who was about to bounce, "Do you want to hug her?"

Celinya looked embarrassed, the three-headed dogs she hugged most often, but they seemed much stronger than human cubs...

In the end, Selinya carefully poked the cub's face with her finger, "It's so soft."

He was grabbed by the little girl and rubbed against her with a smile.

Selinya instantly showed the blank expression of 'being poked cute, but at a loss'.

"Boy." Hearing Tony's voice, Jason, who had been watching this scene all along, turned around.

Tony was holding two wine glasses and paused before handing them to him, "Wait a minute, are you old enough to drink now?"

After all, he was only 15 years old when he left——

Jason acquiesced to Tony's question by catching the cup.

There was a crisp sound when the glasses collided. Tony shook the glass and said abruptly, "It's a new beginning."

For many people present, the past year may not have been a good one; but soon, starting today, it will be a new beginning.

"..." Jason drank the wine in one gulp.

yes.New beginning.And, a new future.

However, this topic seemed to inspire Tony, and he immediately stood up and opened his arms, "Selinya! Now it's time to make a wish!"

"Mage!"

"..." Although he was very helpless, Strange snapped his fingers cooperatively, and the candles on the cake were instantly lit.

"You have to make three wishes—" Tony emphasized, "The countdown is ten seconds! Remember to say it out loud!"

"Ah!" The unexpected attack made Selinya's eyes widen suddenly, "What! Is there a time limit?"

When she was searching for strategies, she didn't see this information——

Of course not.

But what comes out of your mouth is often what you want the most.

What's more, the little girl is usually so obedient, there must be a way for her to express her wish——

"6——" The smart housekeeper also started the countdown broadcast very cooperatively.

If Selinya pays attention to comparing the countdown of this reading with the system time, she will immediately find that it is actually much slower than the normal flow of time.

But of course, she wasn't in the mood now.

"I don't have so many wishes—" Under the urging of fewer and fewer countdowns, Selinya's expression became more bewildered.

How could the growth experience of growing up hovering on the edge of death give her any chance to think about her wishes.

Freedom, flying, the future—everything she wants is already in her hands.Apart from the impossible idea to Jason, the wish to the Queen of God seems to be the most difficult and most important story to come true.

"1--"

At the last moment of the countdown, Selinya subconsciously blurted out, "It would be great if——the next birthday can be spent with everyone."

In fact, her mind was still blank.

But these words seemed to come from instinct, surpassing all thinking abilities, and made her speak instantly.

"..." The lively atmosphere in the living room suddenly fell silent.

"Then you must see this now," Tony immediately jumped up and rummaged through his presents, "You can go back and unwrap the other presents slowly, but this—"

Tony handed his gift to Serenia, which contained a key in a beautiful package.

"Should it be called...the manor? Or the farm?" Tony shrugged. "Anyway, it can stop your dragon."

"Don't rush to refuse," Tony raised his hand to stop Selina's words, and drew a circle with his fingers, "This actually belongs to all of us."

Tony Stark, an amazing man.

After being tempted by the farm, he immediately selected and bought the most suitable one based on the statistics of the smart housekeeper - it didn't look like a farm, it was an island that was not isolated.

It's the new gathering place for the Avengers.

"It's still under renovation," Tony said briskly, as if he had already thought of the future picture, "There will be a lawn that can accommodate dragons, oh of course it can also allow Sol to land at any time, and there are game rooms, training rooms..."

He looked at Selinya very naturally and asked, "What kind of room do you want?"

"……I?"

Tony raised his eyebrows, "Of course, you are also one of the masters, and of course you need to make some constructive suggestions."

"Yeah," Clint added, "we've mentioned it all."

This is something that Selina has never, never thought about before.

She subconsciously included other people in her future plans, and at the same time was put into all future plans by others.

It's as if they both acquiesced that each other will always stay in their own future, their own lives.

...that is to say, they will not leave each other.So it is only natural that they will be together on their birthday next year, and they will be together every year.

Selinya suddenly felt sore eyes, she didn't know why, because it was a feeling she had never experienced before.

A little sad, but more happy, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Under the encouraging eyes of Tony and others, Selinya opened her mouth and answered in a low voice, "Then, do you want a bigger study?"

"No problem at all."

Tony answered in seconds, and even immediately thought of how to build and renovate the new study.

After learning that Serenia would attend Dick's birthday party later, Tony immediately twitched the corners of his mouth, "Ha, I knew it."

Tony walked around the car Roy gave him twice, "It's not bad."

"Come over when I have time," Tony added, "I'll add some new equipment."

Bats all have Batmobiles, what if he made some similar equipment for the little girl!

System: "..." This person wouldn't create a Transformer for the host, would he?

Although according to the agreement, Selinya and Jason arrived outside Wayne Manor on time.

But Selinya and Jason didn't go in right away.The two of them stood at the gate of the manor for a long time.

Like some sort of silent—confrontation.

Self-confrontation from within.

Selinya stood behind Jason, her forehead pressed against his back, and she bumped lightly twice, a bit like a little rabbit knocking on the door in a nursery rhyme.

This is also her attitude all the time. She hopes that Jason will face Bruce Wayne and others frankly, but she will never make any choices for them.

Jason didn't move, but his breathing became much heavier.

Staying outside the gate of Wayne Manor like this, Jason Todd didn't know what he was thinking-it seemed that many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp them, but he could feel the veins in his temples twitching. Pain when jumping.

If he hadn't heard what Bruce said, maybe he wouldn't be here now.

After a long silence, Jason turned around suddenly and pressed his forehead against Selina.

The warm windbreaker hugged the two of them, and the drooping black hair covered Jason's expression. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he swallowed many words that were too complicated to express.

Sharing the same breath at a close distance, Selinya saw the obscure emotions rolling in Jason's eyes, those deep colors were pressed into the deepest part by him little by little, until they could no longer be seen.

A cornered beast.

Selinya just looked at Jason like this, her voice muffled in her arms, "Do you want to see them?"

"..." This question made his ribs ache, and the air vibration brought by his voice was transmitted through the skin and muscles all the way to the bones, and even his internal organs trembled.

Jason took some courage from the jolt, and from the common breath they both shared.

He turned around and knocked on the door with Selinya.

Almost at the same time, the door was quickly opened, as if the people inside had been waiting for their signal.

The old man who opened the door was wearing a suit with exquisite stitching. Even though his hair was white, he still had a straight figure, and his eyes were full of smiles and tenderness.

He looked at the two and nodded, "Good afternoon."

Jason took a deep breath, "...Alfred."

For all the Wayne family members, Mr. Alfred Pennyworth, the butler, is their very important elder.

"Well, Master Jason." Ah Fu opened the door for the two of them, "It's cold outside, let's come in."

It was a very natural attitude, as if nothing had happened before this, no cruel 'who left who', no bloody 'who was taken'; the two of them were just like normal teenagers Like the children, when they returned home after school, they were immediately pushed anxiously by the stove by the elders to keep warm.

The moment he stepped into the door, Jason subconsciously clenched Selinya's wrist.

Ah Fu was stunned, and smiled helplessly, "It's understandable, Master Jason, but maybe it would be better for Miss Selina to change into a warmer coat first?"

As the old man said this, he shook the clothes he had prepared a long time ago.

Wayne Manor is really, really, really, really big!

From this sentence, it can be seen that Selina is in shock now.

Although the Avengers Building is also very large - after all, it is a whole building in a land where every inch of land is very expensive!

But for Selina, who grew up in the wizarding world, it is obvious that this kind of old manor has a more mysterious appeal.

At first, Selinya deliberately restrained her gaze, 'After all, this is the first time as a guest!Can't be too impolite! ', but after Ah Fu smiled and introduced the environment and rooms of the manor to Selinya, she——

Behind the stately carved oak door is a huge library.From the heavy door, to the decorations displayed in the room, and the books that look very old-it is completely reasonable to doubt whether they were moved from a certain monument as a whole.

"!" Selinya was too embarrassed to be too rude in front of Ah Fu, so she silently grabbed Jason's sleeve and motioned frantically, 'A lot of books! ! '

Although she only caught a glimpse while passing by, Selinya still noticed that there were many books she had never touched or understood on the towering bookshelves.

——For a spiritualist, this is really rare.

This is the kind of study she wanted when she suggested it just now.

Ah Fu looked back at Serinya, as if he fully understood the little girl's silent excitement, "If you are interested, you can borrow a book to read."

The suddenly lit eyes reflected Selinya's inner thoughts.

"Master Jason also likes to read books very much, such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Shakespeare's Sonnets"... Oh, I still remember one time-" Although it was a long time ago, Ah Fu The tone of describing it was still so familiar, as if he had never forgotten, "Master Jason gave up the night watch in order to do his homework..."

"Wow," Celinya exclaimed, looked at Jason, and whispered, "Then I seem to understand—"

Why Jay has been so happy to push the 'send her to school' thing.

It turned out that he himself loves learning so much...

Being suddenly turned to the dark history of his childhood, Jason silently averted his gaze.

In addition to the huge study that was so exaggerated that Selinia fell in love at first sight, there were many items in the manor that Selinia couldn't take her attention away from—such as the oversized dining table.

It is a very long row, and sitting at both ends will definitely not be able to see the faces of the guests on the opposite side.

Selinya immediately recalled the banquets she had attended in the wizarding world—they almost used this kind of dining table.

There are strict requirements for every dish that is served, and they are arranged in order of rank, which must not be exceeded.

"Oh," noticing that Selinya's gaze stayed on the dining table, Ah Fu immediately looked at it, "I still remember that Master Bruce once brought his friends back to the manor to have dinner together. They sat at this dining table, and every day You can't wait to hold the trumpet and shout at each other." *

"It's a bad memory," Ah Fu shrugged. "Since then, this dining table has been almost completely unused."

And the girlfriend that Bruce asked out that time did not follow up.

Hearing that Bruce's dark history was also exposed by Ah Fu, Jason felt a delicate psychological balance in an instant.

"..." In a sense, this Mr. Housekeeper is the most difficult person for Batman to refuse.

After all, he could throw the quilt over Bruce Wayne and force him to get up.

Although the manor was very large, the three of them walked to the living room very quickly.The moment he held the living room door to shake hands, Ah Fu suddenly sighed annoyedly, and took a few steps back, "I forgot to take the teacup, can you go in first?"

Jason looked at Ah Fu thoughtfully, but didn't move.

So Selina was the one who pushed the door open.

There was a rustling sound from inside the door, but Selinya didn't pay attention, "It should be the final preparations for Mr. Dick's birthday." '

The system amplifies the perception ability to capture information according to the process, and analyzes that the people inside the door are saying:

"Tibao, step back! That position will block it!"

"It's coming, it's coming, get ready! Remember to count down and don't be fast!"

"A tacit understanding! A tacit understanding!"

Selina opened the door.

With a few soft sounds, the paper fireworks were pulled away, and the scattered colored stripes fell on Selinya,

Many different voices are saying to her,

"Wow! Happy birthday—"

"surprise——!!"

"Happy birthday—" Barbara held back for a while before complaining in a low voice, "You guys really get along well."

"..." Selinya suddenly couldn't find her own voice.

She lifted the ribbon in her hair, not knowing what to say.
