The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Steve's reaction is what a normal person should have behaved when he was unprepared, but since he came to waiting, he shouldn't have such a reaction. He didn't abide by the rules of Ma Linglong, so to speak, The person who handed him his business card didn't tell him the rules.

Ma Linglong is very troublesome to explain the "spiritualist" to the uninformed, especially when facing a stubborn and upright hero like Captain America, he has seen countless corpses, the corpses of enemies (or comrades in arms), and he can trust his teammates Believe in yourself, but it is impossible to believe that there are ghosts in the world.As Ma Linglong told him in his mind at the time, given Steve's living environment and knowledge structure, it was difficult for him to immediately accept her identity.

"Psychic." But Ma Linglong repeated it, even though she knew it was meaningless to him, "Psychic." Ma Linglong spelled it out one by one, she doubted whether Steve had heard the word before.

"You're not from S.H.I.E.L.D., why do you know I'm Captain America?" Steve skipped over the parts he couldn't understand for the time being, and directly focused on the more concerned areas, "What's your name?"

"Lillian."

"That's not your real name." Steve continued, "Maybe you are an agent of another department?" Steve was obviously more difficult in reality. He couldn't receive what Ma Linglong wanted through his senses. The information conveyed is even more impossible to immediately understand what he sees in front of him like in his consciousness. Steve can only act on intuition and rough judgment.

Ma Linglong's appearance is naturally non-aggressive and well-behaved, but her tone of voice and attitude, as well as the way she looks at Steve, make her very uncomfortable. It's not surprising who was trying, after all, it's not the first time Ma Linglong has been treated as a bad guy.

"Say something to convince him that you're not after him," Howard suggested from the sidelines. "Steve is easy to coax, if you're a little less aggressive."

Maybe Ma Linglong just needs to cast a spell over his head to make Steve stop looking at her with those sea-clear blue eyes, which are obviously used by Captain America when he encounters enemies. His eyes, he was very vigilant, as if he was a born warrior.

But Ma Linglong didn't do it right away, maybe she just wanted to play a prank on the other party, or maybe Steve's arrogance made Ma Linglong feel unhappy.He's Captain America, he's not going to drop his fist easily or face a lady in a threatening and intimidating way.

Ma Linglong not only did not immediately remind Steve that he was someone else, but instead said in a teasing tone: "Is this the tone you use to strike up girls?"

Steve eased his emotions, he realized that he shouldn't be aggressive with a girl who can't be called an enemy yet, and the girl looks young and thin, he should be more polite and patient.However, Steve was not very accepting of Ma Linglong's sexy dress, her tight leather skirt seemed to show traces of her underpants.It is easy for Steve to associate the other party with bad things, not out of discrimination or any disrespect. Steve admits that he may not be able to keep up with the times or even be regarded as backward.Many serious girls in this era would dress like this at night, although he had never seen it with his own eyes, after all, there were no deafening music bars around Steve's residence, and he had never deliberately experienced madness.

But 70 years ago, Ma Linglong's appearance itself was related to certain street girls that Steve had never touched, but who appeared in front of him all the time.He had to look away a bit, and then, Steve was surprised to see that the bar was empty, not even the bartender.He was standing right next to the door of the bar, and Steve was sure that the back door was also within his line of sight, but he hadn't even felt the drinkers leave just now.

"Don't be surprised." Ma Linglong noticed that the expression on Steve's face was constantly changing, "It's hard for them to drink happily when you're here."

"Who the hell are you?" Steve asked, quickly calming himself down and ready to fight anytime.

"Honey, you're probably the first girl to have this attitude towards Steve, well, I don't think you'll like him." Howard said with a dejected look on his face, "Or maybe you'll like me, after all you I'm dating my son, and I'm similar to him, of course, I'm just a little bit more handsome, just a little bit."

Ma Linglong glanced at Howard.

"I want to stay here for a while, preferably two or three times a week, you know, if you get Steve mad, he won't be able to come again." Howard said in a begging tone, "Look at me For the son's sake?" Of course he likes Ma Linglong's bar, and Howard finally found the same kind.

Ma Linglong finally gave up his plan to continue to annoy Captain America: "Steve Rogers, I once promised you one thing, but I don't plan to keep it now. I know you, and you also know me. The process of our acquaintance It has something to do with S.H.I.E.L.D., but I'm not from S.H.I.E.L.D. They found me and made a deal with me about you." Ma Linglong thought it might not be the right time, as there were a lot of troubles around her, She is also very busy, and she doesn't want to allocate her limited time to a World War II veteran, "My name is Linglong Ma, and I am a psychic, a freelancer who takes care of disasters and handles unclean things. Since you are here, you must have something to ask for, and I can give you a free move if you want anything."

Steve looked at her in a daze, as if he had been greatly stimulated. He was trying to figure out the clues from the other party's words. Steve paused for about three seconds before saying, "What kind of Deal?" Steve swallowed back the words that Ma Linglong had promised him, he understood that he didn't understand and didn't trust the other party, the world was changing too fast, and there were still many things he didn't understand, today was just too much one item.

"I woke you up." Ma Linglong said, "while you were sleeping."

Howard whistled: "Honestly, this sentence sounds very tempting. If it is, I will definitely recognize you. If your voice is gentler."

"I'm sorry, I may not be able to accept your words for the time being, but I think you should have no malicious intentions." Steve looked around again, "Maybe I should go back and ask, what exactly does this person who gave me my business card want me to do?" .”

"Don't you have any needs?"

Steve said, "Your question is a bit strange."

"Then why did Coulson give you my business card?" Ma Linglong believed that Coulson did it on purpose, he knew the rules, but he didn't tell Steve the rules.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau always likes to do things that pretend to be other people, and Ma Linglong has seen it before.

Steve thought about it very seriously for a while: "I haven't heard of Coulson you mentioned, the business card was given to me by Nick Fury, do you know him?" After Steve got a positive response, he continued , "A month ago, I told him that there was always strange movement in my bedroom at night."

"What kind of movement?"

"Maybe it's just my illusion, but the windows will suddenly close by themselves, and the water glass falls on the ground inexplicably." Steve thought it might be caused by the wind at first, but similar strange phenomena lasted for a whole month and It was like this every night, but Steve didn't feel scared or any discomfort. He just reflected the phenomenon to Nick Ferry when he asked him "Are you still used to living in the new place?"

So, the black officer handed Steve his business card and told him that the boss here can solve his troubles.

Ma Linglong immediately looked at Howard, knowing who caused the movement without thinking, and Steve also looked at the air-filled space in confusion.

"I can explain this." Howard hurriedly said, "Steve always sleeps with the windows open, and he even sleeps on the floor. I think it's a bad habit developed by soldiers. I just closed the windows for him. Nothing wrong with that, huh? He's going to catch a cold, well I know super serums are supposed to give immunity to that, but he's an old friend of mine and I just wanted to show concern. Oh, and the cup thing, I Practicing picking, I swear I didn't mean to, I can pick up a coin now, can you believe it?"

Ma Linglong let out a soft snort.

"Is there anything over there?" Steve asked.

"It's nothing." Ma Linglong turned her head and said to him, "I hope next time you come here, you won't ask questions like 'what is a psychic medium' again, and you can go."

"That's it?" Howard stood in front of the girl, and Ma Linglong had to be very restrained to keep her body from leaning back subconsciously, he was too close, "What should I do, I finally got to know the girl here, But you want me to go back with a man whose chest muscles and penis are bigger than mine?"

"Okay, don't bother me anymore." Ma Linglong said angrily, "I'm going to be annoyed to death by you!"

Steve showed an indescribable expression: "I'm very sorry, I don't think I may come again."

That's really great, Ma Linglong thought, and she didn't feel half guilty for not keeping her promise at all. The last thing she heard was Howard's yelling, but it wasn't abuse and cursing, but said to Dani, " I love you baby, see you by fate, I live at 456 M Street, Washington, DC, come find me when you are free."

She really wanted to know what kind of plans Nick Ferry was up to, maybe he just wanted Steve to come here to get some benefits, or SHIELD thought that as long as he saw Ma Linglong, Steve would be able to remember something. What.Ma Linglong was thinking about some extremely confidential things that S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to know and left in Steve's mind.

"In your eyes, is there no other man besides Tony?" Dai Ni suddenly came to Ma Linglong's side, and then other drinkers also appeared, and the bar resumed its bustling, "I guess he started I'm a little interested in you."

"Who."

"The dude who wears a few-dollar t-shirt as a bodybuilding bodysuit."

Ma Linglong's phone rang at this moment, and she thought it was Stark: "You're right." Ma Linglong said, and then pressed the answer button, "The person on the phone is the most powerful person in the world." Charming man."

"I'm glad you said that, Miss Ma." Coulson said.

Ma Linglong planned to hang up the phone.

"I'm Coulson." The other party seemed to know that Ma Linglong was going to do this, and he quickly explained why he came, "I'm sorry to disturb you, I hope you have time at this time, and just want to make a fortune, I promise This time more than last time."

"Why do you always like to appear when I'm in a bad mood?" Ma Linglong walked to the bar and handed the two-dollar coin left by Captain America to Dai Ni.

"What you should say is why I can bring you a fortune every time I show up." Coulson said, "My car is parked at the door, if it's convenient for you."

Ma Linglong hung up the phone: "I'm leaving, I'll leave this place to you, if you have business, ask them to line up."

"If it's that handsome guy just now?"

"He won't be coming."

"just in case?"

"Last in line."

Coulson was wearing a black suit and sunglasses. He was standing next to the co-pilot's seat, with his hands folded three inches below his abdomen, which was a standard military stance.

"Long time no see." Coulson opened the car door for Ma Linglong, "Maybe you are willing to tell me what troubles you have encountered, and maybe I can share part of it for you. This is an extra gift for you agreeing to come with me."

"Steve Rogers." Ma Linglong said, "Didn't you see that he left just now, if you were here all the time."

"I see." Coulson concealed a trace of joy, "Did you chat speculatively?"

"You sent him here?"

"It has nothing to do with me." Coulson hastily clarified, "He doesn't know who I am yet, which sounds a bit frustrating. However, I want to say that I didn't know he would come out of it. In fact, I just now I was also surprised when I saw him, after all, Captain Rogers doesn’t live in Los Angeles, and he came here specifically to find you.”

"He used your business card." Ma Linglong said.

"I did give my business card to someone else, but it wasn't the captain, but Nick Fury." Coulson thought for a while and said, "Maybe Nick gave it to him?"

"Obviously." Ma Linglong said, "Steve Rogers doesn't know the rules. No one told him the rules he needs to follow when he sees me, so I kicked him out."

Coulson's expression probably wanted to express "how can you drive him away, he is harmless", but in the end Coulson just said mildly: "You have to know, Linglong, not all people from the government They are all like S.H.I.E.L.D., always doing things that make you want to curse us.” He said very self-consciously, “Steve Rogers, as far as I know, one of the few in this world who sets the moral code One of those pretty well-reserved people who wouldn't use his fists to do anything that he considers unjust. I guarantee that even Nick Fury or S.H.I.E.L.D., including me, would want to Instigate Captain America to participate in dishonorable plans, and he will not blindly obey. In addition, few people can trick him into doing dishonorable things, because his IQ is four times that of ordinary people, he is not only a soldier, but also A brilliant military strategist," he said slowly, like an orator, knowing all about Steve's qualities.

Coulson opened the co-pilot's door and made an inviting gesture, "So, does it make you feel a little happier?"

Ma Linglong said, "I only have one question."

"Please say."

"Why do you wear sunglasses at night?"

Coulson kept smiling and said, "I thought this was young people's fashion?" He probably meant Stark, because Stark likes to wear sunglasses to various occasions.

Ma Linglong got into the carriage and said, "Maybe you have misunderstood fashion, you look like a blind person."

The secret base of S.H.I.E.L.D. They seem to have countless secret bases, so much so that Ma Linglong thought she was in Washington, DC or New York. In fact, this was a barren mountain range far away from town in western Kentucky.The base is a research center composed of more than ten bungalows. Just by looking at it from the outside, you can't tell that it is any different from an ordinary garage. Once you enter the interior, you will find that all the experimental floors are developed towards the ground.

Ma Linglong followed Coulson into the center, and when passing the sophisticated body detector, Ma Linglong's wand was not allowed to be brought in because it was made of metal, but Coulson ignored this link, and he told the guard solemnly Just a fancy Chinese chopstick.

"The situation this time is a bit special. It may not match your major, but Mike still recommended you. He seems to think that you are omnipotent, and we really have no other way." They came to the elevator, Cole Sen pressed the button with fingerprint recognition, "I hope I didn't disturb your date with Mr. Stark. I remember I missed it last time."

Ma Linglong didn't accept the other party's humor, but said: "I know, every time you come to me, you have tried everyone, and you still have nowhere to go in the end."

"Sounds like you're our trump card," Coulson said with a laugh.

The two entered the elevator.

"Not this time." Coulson said, "We found you first." He pressed down on the bottom floor, "It was Mike before you, but..." He hesitated a little, "He was Injured, but don't worry, he's not seriously injured, it's just that he can't handle this."

"Why don't you try another wizard." Ma Linglong didn't ask about Mike's injury, nor did she impatiently ask the other party to tell her what she was about to face. She knew that Coulson wouldn't say that if Mike's injury was serious. It's easy.As for what she needs to do, Ma Linglong believes that there will be an answer soon, "If you just want to find wizards to solve the problem, I remember that SHIELD has many wizard agents."

At least Ma Linglong knew that this matter must be dangerous, because it caused a wizard to be injured while dealing with Muggle incidents.

"But we only trust you," Coulson said honestly. "We trust you to keep a secret about what you see next, no matter under what circumstances or with whom."

The elevator had been running for about 2 minutes, and before Ma Linglong got out of the elevator, he felt a strange energy affecting the surrounding magnetic field.

The elevator stopped, and they walked out. This place looks like the center of the experimental base. Compared with the ground, there are not many people here, but the space is very large. It is made of various metal shelves. The inner room was very cold, and several researchers in white clothes were busy shuttling among various instruments.

In front of Ma Linglong was a cube box emitting bright blue light. The box was only the size of an adult's palm, but it contained enormous unknown power.It was placed in a circular device, which looked very much like the reactor that Stark used for the first time, and Ma Linglong felt that it was an enlarged version, because S.H.I.E.L.D. was closely related to Howard.A steady stream of energy was sent into a wall through a special conduit on the device. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary wall, but Ma Linglong didn't care.

Nick Fury stood with a middle-aged man in a plaid shirt. When he saw Ma Linglong, he brought the middle-aged man over: "You should have seen Steve Rogers, right?"

Ma Linglong didn't respond, she walked straight towards the cube, she already guessed that was the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. came to her.

"Wait, miss, you can't go over." The middle-aged man stopped him. He was Eric Savig, a doctor of astronomy. 【Note】

"Let her go." Nick Fury said.

The blue cube is the Rubik's Cube that fell into the Arctic Ocean with Captain America. Ma Linglong has seen the analysis diagram of this thing in the relics left by Howard to Stark.Of course Ma Linglong couldn't understand the equation formula, but she saw the real thing.The small cube definitely does not belong to Muggles, as to whether it is something from the wizarding world, it is hard to say, that kind of strange energy is unfamiliar even to Ma Linglong.The girl is only sure of one thing, and that is that these "scientists" present have been helpless against the cube.

She'd heard several people report feedback on pulse imbalances, or energy overloads, into the data dial.

"You should find Stark." Ma Linglong said as if making a conclusion, "This thing is very unstable, and your scrap metal can't handle it." Ma Linglong put her palms a few inches away from the cube , the slight tingling made her frown, "Stark is the expert in this field."

Dr. Shavig was not convinced by Ma Linglong's claim that only Stark was an expert: "What can she do?" The doctor said to Fury, "You brought a witch to the experimental base in the hope that she could create Get in the Halloween spirit?"

Ma Linglong stared at the middle-aged man.

"Don't say it to your face, doctor." Clint Barton slid from a high place to the ground, and he walked briskly to Dr. Savage, "She will curse you, don't look at how sexy she is, and she looks very good. sweet."

Nick Ferry said to Ma Linglong: "I hope you can stabilize it. If you can do it, you can make a condition."

The author has something to say: [Eric Savage]: The doctor of astronomy in "Thor", the professor of Sledgehammer's girlfriend.

Marvel MCU timeline: Team 1—Steel 1—Hulk—Steel 2—Thunder 1—Reprise 1, so at this time, Sledgehammer and Kishen have already been to the earth, but during this time, the heroine and Nini are in Huo Gevoz, so he didn't know about it, and S.H.I.E.L.D. also completely suppressed it.

Then everyone can guess what kind of "god" will unfold after the heroine meets Jishen.
