[Zhongyingmei] A cookie that moves around

When Eva arrived in Kathmandu, the weather was fine. She stood on the steps that could be seen everywhere and looked at the almost ten thousand-foot cliff next to her, trembling by the wind.

After all, she was in such a high mountain, or in a place as icy and snowy as the Himalayas. Wrapped in a cotton coat, she continued to walk up in the cold.

There are Buddhist temples everywhere in Kathmandu. When Eva first entered, she did not go to the Supreme Master that Clark said, but followed the family who came to worship the Buddha to listen to scriptures in the temple.

Clark's request to come with her was strongly rejected by the girl.Eva didn't want her brother to be with her all the time, she just wanted to be alone.

On the third day, she sat outside the small hotel and drank yogurt with a straw in her mouth. Looking at the sunlight under her feet, she suddenly had an epiphany.Eva remembered the news she saw on the forum, the Norn who was said to be giving her a gift.

All the dreams started that day, and Clark thought it was Eva's kidnapping or something he said that night, but it didn't.

Eva knew very well.

She is because of endless nightmares.

After arriving in the Himalayas, Eva’s spirit improved a lot. The Sanskrit sounds she could hear everywhere made her feel peaceful. She walked freely in Kathmandu, only thinking of staying here for a few more days, and did not plan to find the supreme mage.That's not what's causing her nightmares.

Of course, it would be a good result if he could meet Legolas here.

The owner of the small hotel is an Asian. He likes the petite Eva very much. The dinner prepared for her every night almost eats up Eva. He sees Eva sitting at the door with nothing to do, and even pushes Eva out for a walk.

Such a fresh and natural air is pure that cannot be felt elsewhere.

Eva smiled and nodded to the boss, and left with a small backpack.The yogurt in her hand was not finished yet, the sweet and sour taste made Eva squint her eyes slightly, her slightly curled eyelashes trembled slightly, the girl breathed out a mouthful of white mist, and shrank her other hand into her pocket.

Where there are so many people, there are naturally shadows.When I came here, the owner of the small hotel had already told Eva which places to go and which places not to go.

When Eva passed the alley, she also thought about whether the Supreme Mage would be in these hidden places, but she finally passed quietly without going deep.

"puff--"

A soft sound made Eva, who was taking pictures with her mobile phone, tense up, and looked back at the alley she had just passed. Soon, the faint sound from inside made Eva understand that there was a fight inside.

She stood there and stamped her feet, and when she was about to walk over, the movement there had disappeared.Eva raised her eyebrows, not knowing who would win the battle.

A man with a black hood came out of the alley. His slightly embarrassed appearance showed that he was the party just now, but judging by the way he walked out first, he was obviously the winner.

Eva stood at the corner of the street and watched the man approaching with her head down, and suddenly said softly, "Bruce?"

The man raised his head ferociously, his hostile eyes fell on Eva, "Go away!"

He muttered some ugly words, the scars and ferocious expression on his face were completely different from the glamorous Bruce Wayne, and his body was full of malice.

"I don't know what you're doing here, but your wound clearly needs healing," Eva said calmly. "Give me a few minutes, and then you go your way and I go mine."

She was sure in her heart that this person was Bruce Wayne, for no reason.

As Eva once thought, as long as she leaves the house after this, she will carry first aid things with her, especially a tourniquet.

It's just that it doesn't apply to her every time.

The girl's implicit strength silenced the man, and when Eva tentatively approached him, he did not refuse.

Eva took his sleeve and sat down casually on the steps beside the road, opened his ragged cuffs, and carefully applied medicine to those messy wounds.

Half an hour later, the girl had left from here, and the man who called himself Match Malone was leaning against the corner, with a small bottle of red medicine and a bundle of bandages by his side.

It was Eva's parting gift.

Eva returned to the small hotel in the afternoon, and the meals prepared by the boss were still delicious and the portions were huge.The girl stuffed it into her mouth with a bitter face, and she didn't forget to drink a saliva to swallow it after taking a bite, but there was still half of the food left in front of her eyes!

Just hopeless.

Just when Eva was distressed looking at the food that the other half hadn't touched, the boss's loud rejection came from downstairs, "This place is full, you should leave immediately!"

Eva poked her head out of the window and found that the person standing at the door of the shop was actually the man who claimed to be Marlon Match in the morning, "Boss, he is my friend, not a gangster."

She knew that the boss had never entertained these people since she moved in, and it seemed like he was avoiding these dangers for her, which made Eva very grateful.

The boss looked at Match Ma Long suspiciously, and finally he moved in.It happened to be at the opposite door of Eva, which was why the boss didn't want to agree at first.

Eva heard the sound coming up step by step outside, opened the door and looked at him.Match Ma Long still looks like this morning, but there is a lot of alcohol on his body, "Are you okay?"

The man looked at Eva a few times. He didn't speak the rude words that he saw in the morning, but he didn't answer. He turned around and looked at the door, and opened the door with the key given by the boss.

"Matchstick Malone, I helped you at least this morning, how about your turn to repay me now?" Eva walked up behind Matchstick Malone with small steps.

"What are you going to do?" A hoarse and broken voice sounded, and Match Malone turned to look at Eva.

Eva raised her hand and gestured to the room, showing a mysterious smile, "I'll tell you when I come in."

Three minutes later, Match Ma Long, who was sitting opposite Eva, looked at his completely untouched meal, and suddenly wondered what was going on in the girl's mind.But he didn't speak, just picked up the knife and fork silently.

This is the "return" Eva asked for. She hasn't touched the other half of the dishes. If she wants to send them back, the boss will probably feel sorry for her appetite again.Eva felt more distressed about her stomach.

She looked at the opposite side with a smile, and then took out the gadgets she bought on the street from her small backpack, which she planned to give to her family and friends when she went back.

When she returned to the table with the small bag, Match Malone had already stopped, throwing the knife and fork aside.

Faced with Match Ma Long's rude actions that have nothing to do with the characters Eva guessed, the girl didn't take it seriously at all, "There is an old saying in Huaguo that if we meet, we are destined. This is my little thought, I believe you will not." Throw it away, right?"

Eva was half-lying on the table, dangling the small bag with her fingers hooked, her clear eyes shone under the candle, and her eyes were full of smiles.

The man stared at Eva for a long time, then stood up.

Just when the girl thought he refused, the man stretched out his long arms and snatched the pouch from Eva's finger.

The cold fingers brushed against Eva's warm fingertips inadvertently, so cold that Eva stared at his back in a daze.

The cold look on the man's face made her forget that he was only wearing a single shirt, even though he was wearing a coat, but the cold touch... must be very cold.

But... Eva looked at the place where Match Malone had just sat, and briefly recalled Bruce's appearance, she puffed up.

Although the two were completely different, with no similarities in appearance, tone, voice, demeanor...but she always thought he was Bruce Wayne.

How strange.Eva was a little delicate.

After Matcha Malone left, Eva helped the boss deliver all the things downstairs, and chatted with the fat boss for a while before Eva returned to her room.

Although the house is small, the boss has arranged it very warmly. After staying here for several days, Eva's sleep quality has improved a lot, and she has become much more energetic.

Eva didn't come here with anything other than her phone, and the cell phone signal was almost useless here.If you want to make a call, you might as well borrow her landline from the boss.

But Eva doesn't want to talk to Martha at the moment, it's her fault for making Martha feel sad, and thinking about it, she feels a sense of homelessness.

Eva, who was full after eating and drinking, went to bed early after tidying up, lay down on the bed and played with her mobile phone for a while, because of the adjusted schedule in the past few days, she fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

The moonlight was like water, and most of Kathmandu was also plunged into darkness, and those who were accustomed to the dark night were also active.

Match Malone was wearing an even more messy coat, but it was thicker anyway, and he was playing cards with others with a cigarette in his mouth.After playing the cards in his hand in two or three strokes, he leaned back in his chair and laughed, picked up the wine bottle by the table and poured it into his mouth.

"Stranger, you won the fuck again, do you want money, tell me, what do you want to do!" The strong man sitting opposite him angrily kicked the leg of the table. He has lost more than a dozen times in a row tonight. Bundle.

"Bang!" The man threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, and the remaining liquid spilled on the floor. The sudden sound made the small bar quiet for a moment.

Match Malone looked a little drunk, cursed a few times in a rough voice, and pulled the burly man by the neckline as if he was dragging a chicken, "Okay, is there any magical witch around here, I'll take you there See you!" Coupled with his hoarse voice, it's like saying that I'm going to dissect you and make medicine.

The bar owner came over to persuade him a few words, but the strong man still refused to let go and shouted at the top of his voice, "FUCKYOU!" Match Malone punched him, and the two of them huddled together. The strong man stumbled to the bar and asked for a drink.

Match Malone has been here many times in the past few days, and the bartenders already know him.Seeing him coming, before he could open his mouth, he mixed a glass of wine for him, and said mysteriously, "Hey, brother, there is actually someone here."

"Aren't you human?" Matchstick Malone glared at him violently, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Of course not an ordinary person." The bartender got him another glass, "I'm talking about a mage!"

……

By the time Matchstick Ma Long returned to the small hotel, it was past three o'clock, and the heavy smell of alcohol and blood on his body almost prevented the gatekeeper from letting him in.

He stood at the door, rummaging for the key in his pocket, and found that he couldn't find the small key even after searching several pockets upside down.

The man cursed in a low voice, and sat down against the door panel.It was easy to open the door, but he suddenly became too lazy to move, with his arms resting on his knees, and he looked up at the dark roof in a daze.

"No..." The murmur came from nowhere, and the nerves of Match Ma Long tensed up. He slowly lowered his head, and his eyes fell to the source of the voice.

That's Eva's room.

The man's brows were frowned tightly, and there was another almost inaudible moan of pain. He turned over and stood up, quickly took out a wire from his cuff, and pried open the door in twos and twos.

With his hearing, there should be only one person in the room, but the girl's voice is full of despair and pain, making the man think that there is a problem with his judgment.

In the small room, Eva curled up in the quilt and whispered indistinctly, struggling to wake up from the nightmare.

Match Ma Long couldn't move forward or retreat immediately, it was inhumane to close the door and leave, but it was even more embarrassing to stay and wake Eva up.He stood in a stalemate for a few seconds, and when he was about to turn around and go out, a grunt successfully stopped him.

"Bruce... Bruce..."

Eva opened her eyes, looked at the black bed curtain above her head, sniffed uncomfortably, it looked like she had a cold.No, the girl sat up, and she had another nightmare.

...or not a nightmare.

After gradually getting used to it, when Eva occasionally relapses into dreaming, she will no longer be as emotionally immersed in it as before, but will be like a passer-by.

But it would be nice to wake up and remember one or two of these dreams.

Eva sat leaning against the head of the bed for a while, and whispered, "Bruce? What do I have to do with him?" She vaguely remembered... In her dream, she saw no fewer than ten ways for Bruce to die. Died again.

Hey, no, why does it seem like Batman again?

Eva, who was puzzled, covered her face helplessly, dreaming in a daze, including Batman, who had never seen it before, and was really desperate.

She stroked her hair, and was about to get out of bed to pour some water, when she raised her eyes and saw the figure of Match Malone.

Eva: ...

Match Malone: ​​...

The two looked at each other, and Eva looked at the opened door behind him, and said tentatively, "My door is broken?"

"I pried it open."

After the man finished speaking concisely and clearly, without leaving an explanation, he turned and walked towards the door.Eva hurriedly called him to stop, "Wait, Bu... Match Malone!"

Eva knew that the other party had heard her almost whispered words just now, and when she called to stop him, Eva was indeed a little embarrassed, "Aren't you cold?"

Match Malone: ​​? ? ?

Is this the reaction you should have when you see a man prying open the door in the middle of the night? !

He brushed his hair anxiously, kicked the door shut, turned around and sat down on the small chair in the room, making a "squeak" sound.

"What's wrong with you?" he said rudely. "Shouldn't you take a knife and tell me to get out of here?"

Eva gave him a strange look, turned on the lights in the house, and poured a glass of water into the kettle, "I don't have a knife, and you came in to do bad things?"

"Of course not." Match Ma Long unconsciously looked away and said in a rough voice.

Eva just got out of bed, and the thin pajamas perfectly revealed the girl's developing delicate body.She held the water glass in place for a while, then lowered her head to get a new glass and poured a cup of hot water, walked to the match Ma Long and put it down, "It's cold, drink more water."

The man finally couldn't help shouting, "Do you know what will happen when you are with a man in the middle of the night?!" So unsuspecting, he didn't even know how Eva survived to this day.

Eva held the cup in both hands to warm her hands, leaned on the table and looked at the match Ma Long, "So you are worried about this." The sight behind the fog could not see clearly, "I am really not too worried." The girl's ability is enough to protect herself , in a one-on-one situation, it is impossible for anyone to hurt her.

After getting up for a long time, the heat from the blanket dissipated, Eva quickly put on her coat and rolled herself into a ball.

"You are really bold." The man looked at the water glass on his left, with inexplicable emotions between his brows. At this moment, after he took off his sharp disguise, Eva was a little familiar with his cold and serious expression.

"I'm not the one who is bold." Eva looked at Ma Long, the match pointingly, and shrank her feet on the bed after feeling the coldness of the ground.

"Hmph." There was a faint snort, and Eva almost thought it was her illusion.

For the first time, Eva saw the man's eyes so clearly behind the transparent glass.

"You know, sometimes a person's life doesn't belong to him alone, right?" Eva still couldn't help talking.

She recalled the comments about Bruce Wayne that she saw at the beginning. Apart from him being a playboy, there were even rumors about him being an extreme sports enthusiast.

There is always a limit to the limit, but the look of Match Malone is more like... not caring what the body will be like.

Whether it's dead or alive, whether it's destroyed or not, Eva couldn't find the slightest bit of concern in his eyes.

This body is just a tool for him to walk.

The message slipped into Eva's mind the moment she met the man's eyes.She should have looked away hot, which was completely different from Eva's known personality.

But she didn't.

Neither do men.

After a long time, Match Ma Long stood up and took the cup of water with only lukewarm water in his hand, "Go to bed early." If you taste it carefully, you may still be able to feel the warmth that is extremely difficult to detect.

The door closed with a click, and Eva leaned against the bedpost in a daze.

If she had known, she would have brought the laptop here.Eva thought, at least she had to have a good talk with that Norn, she didn't want to, and couldn't be affected by that complicated dream anymore.

She wanted to get her memory back, but she never thought of putting other things into it.

In the next few days, Matchstick Malone completely disappeared from Eva's eyes.The boss mumbled a bit, as if he checked out the next day.Eva didn't pay too much attention either.

When the day she and Clark agreed to meet, Eva packed up and headed back to Kansas.Eva would look back and look like a fool for the outbursts of those days in Kansas.

Kathmandu could not solve Eva's problems, but it completely washed away Eva's negative emotions and made her peaceful again.

After wandering all over Kathmandu, Eva had to admit that maybe Legolas really wasn't here, she didn't notice him.

Among the hustle and bustle of the crowd, whoever you can meet may have to be specially ambushed.

Huh!Eva stopped packing, could it be... that man is also suspicious of her?After all, when it comes to coincidence, Eva is the biggest coincidence.

Faintly understanding the man's vigilance, Eva was a little helpless, she hadn't even seen through the man's clumsy disguise yet!As Bruce Wayne and Match Malone's personalities are so different, she almost thought he had a split personality.

Stuffing the last clothes into the suitcase, Eva saw that there was still time, so she went out for a walk.While wandering around Kathmandu for the past few days, Eva did nothing but take photos.

As soon as she reached the street corner, Eva became aware that someone was watching her.That kind of looking... not really looking, as if looking at something through her, made Eva uncomfortable.

She looked back at the crowd behind her, and as she expected, she found nothing unusual. As she continued to walk forward, Eva became more vigilant.

But unexpectedly, the visitor was not so impolite.

He chose a very suitable time to appear. When Eva stopped to rest, a man in dark blue clothes stood in front of Eva, with a cool tone, "Miss Kent."

He called Eva by her last name exactly.

Eva looked up at the man in front of her, oh, he is indeed tall, at least one head taller than Eva.After realizing this, Eva took a step back so that she could see the man clearly.

It was a man with sharp edges and corners, his face was slightly longer than ordinary people, his gaze was firm, and his eyes did not fluctuate much when looking at Eva, "Master wants to invite you over."

Eva frowned, "Which mage?"

"The mage who drove you to Kathmandu." The man seemed to express emotion at Eva's question, and even wanted to roll his eyes.

Eva pursed her lips, and took another step back, "Thank you for your kindness, I won't be going." The attitude of the man in front of her always made her feel like a sheep is in the mouth of a tiger.

"Sorry." The man took a deep breath and bowed slightly, "I am Stephen Strange, a disciple of Master Ancient One." He reported his family name, "Master sincerely invites you to meet in the past."

Eva frowned, and subconsciously asked, "Are you Doctor Strange?" Strange looked at Eva, thinking she was referring to his surgical career, and nodded of course.

"……it is good."

Eva agreed because she had vaguely dreamed of this man in her dreams.

When Strange walked around, he didn't introduce many things to Eva leisurely, and Eva didn't ask, but just followed Strange silently until the two of them arrived. After reaching an ordinary wooden door, Strange woke up suddenly, "Sorry, I'm not in a good mood today."

Eva nodded in understanding and didn't say much.Strange took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, "Welcome to Karma Taj."

Before this door and behind this door are two completely different worlds.

When Eva was led by Strange to walk inside, she didn't realize too many things, until she walked step by step into a quaint and empty hall, and saw a person sitting on a cushion inside. It was a woman in a yellow dress, with a clear air all over her body. It seemed that time could not leave a mark on her clear appearance, but the kindness and peace in those eyes were the treasures bestowed by time.

Eva felt her head throbbing again.

"Ancient one mage?" Strange looked at the mage who had already appeared here, and retreated clearly.At this moment, there were only Eva and Gu Yi in the hall.The girl looked at the man with a headache, and her headache was getting worse day by day, reaching the point where it was almost unbearable.

"Eva, long time no see." Gu Yi said with a smile.

Eva was slightly stunned, not noticing that the sudden pain was gradually disappearing, "Have we met before?"

Gu Yi waved his hand slightly, and Eva found that she was kneeling on the cushion like Gu Yi, and the mage said calmly, "This is not the first time we meet, nor will it be the last time we meet."

Eva bit her lip, she didn't quite understand what Gu Yi meant, but she glimpsed a possibility from her words, "Is there anything about you in my lost memory?"

Gu Yi shook her head quietly, and her voice actually came directly into Eva's mind, something even Charles could not do, "Eva, forgetting is not a bad thing." She said calmly, " Not yet."

"When is the time?" Eva wasn't angry, but was confused. "If you want to talk about preparation, there will never be a suitable time."

"I need to ask you, Eva." Gu Yi said, "This is your choice."

Eva couldn't understand Gu Yi's mysterious statement. If she had seen Gu Yi before and lost this memory, then what Mage Gu Yi meant was that this forgetting was her own choice?

She was in the laboratory when she first woke up, and she was only in her teens. If those dreams were real, how could it be possible?

"Superman has already said that to you, and the three goddesses of Noren have also given you a gift, which is enough." Mage Gu Yi said with a chuckle as if he had seen through Eva's doubts.

She made a slight gesture, "It seems that we have other guests."

Eva looked suspiciously at the place where she came in just now. A black man of medium build walked in here. Then he stood still at the door and said respectfully, "Gu Yi, you have already brought it."

"Mo Du, I'm sorry." Gu Yi thanked Modu, then looked at the figure approaching step by step, "Please sit down." Modu quietly retreated, and the person who had just walked beside him followed Gu Yi His words appeared next to Eva in the next instant.

Eva: ...

What is the fate between her and him!Can you meet like this? ?

Eva looked at the match Ma Long beside her very puzzled, and then her eyes fell on Master Gu Yi, and she realized in her heart that he was coming for the mage.

Before Match Ma Long could speak, Gu Yi glanced over indifferently, "I can't do anything."

Match Ma Long listened to Gu Yi's words in silence, "This is an unstoppable trend. If you can find me here, you should also know my identity."

"I've meddled too much." Her faint words seemed to indicate something, and the man's face changed slightly.

Eva listened quietly, with a feeling of being out of the way, but Gu Yi's eyes fell on Eva, "Be kind to yourself, Eva. Don't worry about the past, this is a new beginning for you."

"I have glimpsed the future many times, but this time, the future is clean."

These were the last words Gu Yi left for Eva.

At the same time, Match Malone was also sent out together. It was Strange who sent them away. After seeing Eva, he said, "Are you a friend of that elf?"

Eva was caught off guard and heard the news of her friend from an unexpected person. Although she was taken aback, she still nodded.

"Before he left, he handed this thing over to me, hoping to deliver it to you." It was a crystal clear gem.

Eva looked at the beautiful gem in her palm and sighed softly, "It's good that he can go back." That's a good thing for Legolas.

After Strange left, there were only Eva and Matchstick Malone left on the street. When people saw this strange combination, they would subconsciously look at them, especially lingering on Eva.

It took Eva a while to discover the reason, and she laughed helplessly. It turned out that it was because the people around her looked very different from her.

She looked down at the phone, it was already afternoon, and there was still more than an hour before the time agreed with Clark, she looked at the match Ma Long and frowned, "Since you have seen me at Gu Yi, at least you can My doubts have disappeared." The girl said bluntly.

Match Ma Long looked at Eva, his deep eyes were full of strange brilliance, but he still didn't speak.

This kind of practice of dropping the horse at the first time but holding on to the vest is really a coquettish operation!Eva sighed, and didn't continue. She tried to send a text message to Clark, and then looked up at the man who was still standing beside him, "Let's have a cup of tea together?"

Match Malone nodded slowly.

That's why they ended up in a tea shop together, it was still very difficult to find a tea shop in Kathmandu.When the man looked at the tea poured in front of them, he was silent for a while and then said, "You shouldn't come here alone."

That's a cross between Matchstick Malone and Bruce, Eva thought.

She sipped the bitter and sweet tea from a foreign country, and said softly, "This is a place where you can be quiet."

Matchstick Malone sneered, as if mocking the girl's innocence.

Eva recalled their first meeting, when Bruce Wayne was leaning against the wall, smiling at Eva in the same way amidst the guns and shells, but at that time he was a little more reserved.

It's very straightforward now.

Eva casually took another sip of tea, and the warm liquid warmed her body, "What does it matter, you can see the pure darkness, and you can't blame me for seeing the bright side." She tilted her head Looking at the man sitting quietly opposite, "You can't judge me by your standards."

"I didn't use my standard." The man said in a low voice, "If there is, you are completely unqualified now." The cold words made Eva stare at him angrily!

Match Malone drank tea silently.

Eva's cell phone vibrated, and when she took it out from her arms, something fell from her pocket.

Finding that the girl didn't notice and was looking at the phone all the time, Match Malone lowered his head to pick it up, but his eyes were cold when he saw the bat dart.

"Is this your thing?" After Eva finished sending the text message, she saw the batarang pushed from the opposite side. Eva touched her empty pocket, "It is indeed mine."

"The bat dart is only available to Batman, where did you come from?" Match Malone asked.It's normal for Eva to have such doubts when she thinks about his other identity.

"My friend gave it to me." Eva smiled slightly, "Of course he didn't mean it, but...it's a souvenir."

"You hate him?"

Eva looked at Match Malone in surprise, and shook her head when she caught sight of him falling on the batarang, "I don't have any direct feelings for him..."

She rubbed the rim of her teacup and slowly recalled the fleeting side and the glimpse of that night.

"He might be a symbol of fear to a lot of people," Eva couldn't help laughing, "but really, if you didn't do anything wrong, why should you be afraid?"

"If the rumors are true, then I don't like his methods. But other people in Gotham should thank him, otherwise Gotham would be a quagmire." Eva said seriously, "It's good to have the principle of not killing people, but... If Arkham Asylum can't hold the clown and others, maybe we can think of other ways?"

After drinking the last cup of tea, Eva saw that it was time to go, "All superheroes are the same. We myth them, love them, and expect them to protect us. This is enough... As for other things, where in the world can Is it as you wish?"

She remembered the time when someone yelled at Superman because he couldn't hear him in time to get him out of the house, and love turned to hate.

But with so many people in this world, how could Superman hear them all?

Could it be that he really regarded him as a god.

But Eva doesn't want him to be a god, her stupid brother, it's good to be human.

When Eva left, Matchstick Malone was still sitting there, looking at the icy wind and snow outside, with the girl's voice echoing in his ears.

"Sir, it's time to go home." Alfred's voice sounded in the headset.
