The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Soothing music sounded from the bar, and an old Asian man sat in front of a black piano and played it ecstatically, which sounded like an excerpt from a world famous song.He is a ghost who joined the waiting bar recently, an old Asian man who died in a traffic accident.Before his death, he was a pianist in a symphony orchestra. The restless soul of the old man always appeared in front of his favorite piano in the dead of night, playing various pieces he was good at and liked. Unable to bear the harassment from the ghost, the chief finally found Ma Linglong.

Except for making some music at night, the old man is harmless to the living. He doesn't want to be reincarnated, and he doesn't want to forget his dedication to playing in this life. So he came here, came to a place suitable for him, and began to bring elegance to the bar. music playing.

The old man winked at Natasha from time to time. It looked like he was still an old playboy, but he was an absolute gentleman, full of knowledge and self-cultivation, and the men and women in the bar liked to surround him.

"If I didn't know you well enough." Natasha said to Ma Linglong while showing a charming smile to the old man, "I thought you were more tolerant to demons and ghosts than to living people."

"Isn't it?" Ma Linglong took the liquor from Dai Ni, "What do you know about me?"

It was a very small glass, about as small as you can pinch it with your thumb and forefinger. Compared with Natasha's glass of double vodka, it seemed even smaller.The cup is made of white ceramics, and the transparent liquor contained in it cannot make people think that it is a spirit with full stamina.

Ma Linglong took a sip casually, then picked up the white wine bottle and filled the mini cup, and then drank it down.

Natasha turned her face, looked at Ma Linglong's little cup and said, "You obviously wanted to help him just now, why did you drive him out, Strange seems to be your favorite type?"

Ma Linglong originally wanted to ask Natasha why she thought she wanted to help him, but Ma Linglong didn't ask in the end: "He didn't prepare cakes, and he didn't make an appointment." I have seen it before, female agents can always detect the most critical truth from other people's inadvertent small actions.

"But he'll still come to you," Natasha said. "I'm sure he still doesn't know the rules."

Strange was not a well-behaved person.

"I know." Ma Linglong replied.

Of course, Strange was driven away not only because there was no cake, but that was only a small part of the reason. He is the disciple of the ancient one mage and the heir to the magic floating cloak, at least it proves that he is by no means a bad guy.

But today's Ma Linglong is a terrible psychic.

Her mood swings were wild, and healing her crippled hands took more than a spell or two.She had to take a bottle of potion from the Hogwarts hospital, and combined with the double stimulation of ointment and spells, Strange's finger bones could return to normal.

She wasn't in the mood for it, at least not right now, and probably not tomorrow or the day after.Ma Linglong didn't want to explain to a strange man why she was not in the mood today, or what was the reason why he could heal his hands. Ma Linglong decided that with the other party's highly academic brain and his extraordinary eloquence, he would definitely ask of.

"Actually, I'm glad to see the look on the man's face when he's being snubbed, you don't know him so you don't know how he treats people. Strange has a slightly better personality than Iron Man if I tell you Son, his greatest pleasure is to satirize his subordinates and colleagues, treat patients according to their preferences and the benefits they can earn, and decide whether to perform surgery on them personally, and you will know why I am happy."

"Sounds as unpleasant as I do?"

"You are too modest, dear, at least I like you." Natasha said, she gave Ma Linglong a sweet smile, without any purpose, "My friend broke his spine during a mission, Strange was the most authoritative surgeon at the time, but he refused to operate on him."

"I guess it's not because your friend has no money." Ma Linglong said.

Natasha's friend is naturally not an ordinary professional, it must be an agent who is as good as her. Although an agent like her is not as good as those on the rich list, the life insurance alone is enough for them to use , Of course, they hope that they will never use that special medical insurance for the rest of their lives.

"He thinks the operation is too simple to reflect his value." Natasha randomly picked a few square ice cubes into the wine glass, "You know that in our business, if the body is seriously injured, it will be extremely dangerous , the enemy coming to the door is the easiest way to be victimized, and the best treatment can often bring us a glimmer of life."

After all, not everyone's self-healing speed has serum blessing.

"Your friend died?" Ma Linglong asked.

"No, but it's about the same." Natasha said, "The treatment process was not smooth, because it was not a simple operation, he was disabled, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. has tightly protected him."

"A person who likes you, he was hurt because of you." Ma Linglong made a judgment, and Natasha smiled slightly, admitting it, "Then you should have broken his neck with your thigh just now." Ma Linglong road.

"He has the right to choose patients." Natasha said, shrugging, "It's like you have the right to kick him out of the bar, Strange, like most doctors, works for money, and also has his own honor. It's normal, at least he is much more noble than my work, but it doesn't mean that I will sympathize with him when he loses."

"You say that so I like him a little bit." Ma Linglong said, "At least he's not hypocritical."

"Maybe you can invite him back, I think he will be happy to see you change your mind." Natasha said.

"He has already left." Ma Linglong said, "A proud and conceited person will not have such patience when he is not on the verge of extinction, not to mention he can't speak well." But Ma Linglong knew The other party will definitely find her again, and then pretend to lower his posture a little, or exchange with her with some attractive chips.

And Ma Linglong had already figured out what he wanted to ask Strange for.

"What happened?" Natasha said. She never asked why Ma Linglong said to herself, don't let the SHIELD people know her location, but this time Natasha Really cut off her location system, and didn't report what happened to her to Fury in time.

S.H.I.E.L.D. must be searching for her in this bar, out of reach of the satellites.

Natasha disappeared completely, which was obviously against the rules, it was not part of the plan, but she was willing to give it a try, she wanted to know how shocking secrets about S.H.I.E.L.D. could be revealed from the mouth of a wizard.

A slight blush appeared on Ma Linglong's face, covering up her original paleness. She drank white wine and sat at the bar without saying a word.Her right foot was still resting on her left knee, her legs were crossed, her chin was propped up, her fingers tapped repeatedly following the rhythm of the music, as if this was the only answer she could give Natasha.

"When you kill someone, what do you usually think about?" After a while, Ma Linglong asked, she stopped knocking on the table, and the music in the bar stopped abruptly.

Natasha noticed that all the ghosts had disappeared: "Of course it's about killing people, thinking about how to get rid of the target as soon as possible."

"Is there any murder experience that particularly impressed you?"

"You are so direct."

"I just want to find someone who has rich experience in this field and I can trust to share my experience." Ma Linglong said, "At present, you are that person."

"Every one of them has a profound impact on me." Natasha took a sip of the wine, and then she found that there were only ice cubes left in the glass, "but I can't remember each of them clearly." Ma Linglong told her The cup is filled, "My memory is occasionally modified, of course it is not done by SHIELD, I have not joined it at that time, but I am already the object of attention of SHIELD. There are few soldiers, and they will not be smaller than his goals. I don't have any moral and legal constraints. When they trained me, I even thought it was right to kill people."

"Have you ever killed your own relatives?" Ma Linglong continued to ask.

"I have no relatives." Natasha said without any regrets, "I'm glad for this, because they will definitely ask me to do this. However, I have also killed some people I don't want to kill. For example, training with me children, they want us to kill each other for a chance to finally live."

Ma Linglong could feel Natasha's mood fluctuating slightly, and she knew that she didn't care about killing people as much as she showed, maybe she really didn't care at all.Natasha didn't have time to care about the difference between the one she killed and the last one. For her, everyone she killed was just as normal as she needed to brush her teeth in the morning.Natasha regards the goal as a necessary business activity. She has enough concentration and reasons to maintain "psychological reconstruction". She will not be swallowed by guilt, nor will she blame herself for guilt.

The premise is that she is not disturbed mentally.

Ma Linglong didn't want to continue to expose Natasha's past, and she didn't ask those questions to embarrass the female agent.

"The ones who attacked us in the parking garage were my relatives. They were only related by blood. There was no relationship between us." Ma Linglong had already found out, and Natasha told her story in order to elicit Ma Linglong's secret , but she does not intend to pursue or conceal, "I killed him."

Natasha looked at Ma Linglong in surprise and said, "I thought girls like you would never kill people, at least not by themselves."

"This is not the first time I have killed someone." Ma Linglong said.

"But you still react like a novice." Natasha said.

Ma Linglong did not answer directly, but said: "Make a deal."

Natasha smiled: "Do you want to learn killing skills from me?"

"I want to tell you some secrets about me that outsiders can never know, and I need you to promise not to let others know for the rest of your life, no matter because of your occupation or living environment, you will never tell anyone. "

"What do you want in exchange for my guarantee?"

"Teach you how to defeat wizards, and tell you the characteristics and weaknesses of different factions of magic."

Natasha snorted a laugh and said, "It sounds like I benefit more no matter what, isn't this a scam?"

"No." Ma Linglong said, "I need allies."

"You mean 'friend', I guess." Natasha suddenly became alert: "Are you being hunted down? Do you need our assistance?"

"Thank you." Ma Linglong said wearily, "I know SHIELD has been stopping my losses for a long time. Although this is not the original intention of you approaching me, you did do something behind my back to facilitate me."

"You always knew?" Natasha stared at Ma Linglong thoughtfully, it was a playful look that Ma Linglong was very familiar with.

"I just thought of it recently. I'm not an agent."

"You choose me to be your listener, and it will soon become the most irrational decision you will ever make in your life." Natasha rolled her eyes and smiled strangely, "But I am very concerned about your privacy. interest, so, I promise you, I can guarantee that I will not reveal your secrets by any means, but I can’t guarantee that once someone directly steals information from my brain, whether I can control this.”

"I will teach you." Ma Linglong said, "Before that, what do you want to ask?"

Natasha did prepare several questions, but she finally chose to satisfy her curiosity first: "Do you have siblings, and your parents, are you, an orphan?"

"It's hard for me to give you an accurate answer to your question, maybe you want to hear my story?"

"I can go home later today."

Ma Linglong's feelings for Natasha may not be called trust. In fact, Ma Linglong doesn't know what it feels like. She is willing to approach her. This may be the attraction that Natasha exudes after being trained. Ma Linglong was not sure if it was because of this that she boldly shared the secret with her.

The two chatted for a long time. She told Natasha about the legend of the dragon on her arm, and told her the price she would have to pay for inheriting Kunlun Mountain... Natasha listened very carefully, she could easily learn from Ma Linglong This is Ma Linglong's favorite way of communication, and she can understand it immediately without deliberately explaining to the other party.

"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Finally, Ma Linglong asked.

"Actually, you don't need to be so unkind on purpose." Natasha said suddenly, "You have helped many people, but you don't want them to thank you, you even want them to treat you as a bad person, I can tell you what you think Is it twisted. Or, wizards have similar psychological problems?"

Ma Linglong said: "I just don't want too many people crying around my tombstone after death, I think there should be no more than five people like this, or a little less, because I like quiet, you know, I can't live For too long, there is no need to have too much emotional maintenance or involvement with anyone."

Yes, she told Natasha this too, this is the most embarrassing part of her secrets, but one thing is good, Ma Linglong will definitely not die before she is 48 years old.

"You don't want to see people cry for you not because you like to be quiet, dear," Natasha told her in the tone of an old acquaintance. "You're afraid to see them cry for you, and you can't help seeing, Because you are different from us, you are different from most people, including wizards. Your soul after death cannot be deaf to things outside like a normal person, and you will feel everyone's nostalgia and love for you Sadness and of course sadness. So you control your feelings and you control yourself to let other people have feelings for you, but you are naturally attractive, so it is difficult for you to control this, so you deliberately appear ruthless to make more People stay away from you."

Natasha said as if she came to a conclusion: "But Tony, he is the biggest accident in your life. I'm glad you don't reject him, otherwise Stark might become the most troublesome accident for S.H.I.E.L.D."

"you……"

"I haven't finished talking yet, wait for a while." Natasha gently squeezed Ma Linglong's shoulder twice with her fingers, "Although you are completely honest about your love for Tony now, and you accept it with pleasure." , and will always be loyal to him, but you probably won't marry him because you know you can't promise him. You'll make him forget you and everything about you before you die, as if he never had the real own love."

"Maybe it's more than that." Natasha added, "You should be planning to make everyone who cares about you forget you. I think you're already thinking about how to do it so that you won't hurt them, and won't be hurt by them." Discover your little trick, after all, you have some wizard friends, and it must be much more difficult for them to be disturbed by magical oblivion than ordinary people." [Note]

Ma Linglong was sure that her expression didn't look ridiculous because she was too shocked, so she admired Natasha's keen judgment, even to the point of fear.Natasha's intuition and observation make it easy for her to expose lies and cover up. Anyone will regret revealing their secrets to the "Black Widow".

This is what Natasha said before, and it will be the true meaning of the most irrational decision Ma Linglong has ever made.

Apart from sighing, Ma Linglong didn't know what else to say. She just told her the story of the Ma clan and Kunlun Mountain, and she didn't even tell her some parts that she thought Natasha would never understand. Make a note to explain.But Natasha has completely grasped her psychology, like a dismembered corpse placed on the dissecting table, inside and out has been seen through.

"I think I should use the Oblivion Curse on you first." Ma Linglong was not even in the mood to drink now.

"I guessed it, you must have thought about it just now." Natasha continued, her tone was extremely relaxed, "But you won't do this, it's not in line with your principles, and I'm not yet among your friends , if one day in the future, you want to use a spell to make me forget you too, I think we can try to break up friendship now, or pretend that we don't know each other." She smiled, and her beautiful face was even more moving because of her smile, "I don't want to forget you , A spell can remove your appearance from other people's minds, to be honest, this is really a pity, you deserve to be remembered by many people."

"I thought you would say that this is unfair to Stark." Ma Linglong sighed again, she failed completely, she was invisible in front of Natasha, all her thoughts, all her plans , as if listed on a piece of copy paper and being counted by Natasha one by one.

It was wonderful that she was beaten by a Muggle and not at all angry.

"I don't think, at least he won't be sad after forgetting you, so there is no fairness. Of course, you don't have to face all this alone. You can try to let Tony know that you get along There is not so much time, so it may be more meaningful for him to cherish or value every day with you." Natasha thought for a while, "But you are obviously very unfair to S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't think Iron Man would be as docile as he is without you."

"He just forgot me, but he won't forget his experience. 18 years later, it is impossible for Stark to communicate more difficultly than 18 years ago." Ma Linglong seemed to respond lightly, but did not really show her It doesn't matter what came out, in fact, she just knew when she would die, so she was mentally prepared.

"Is there no way to overcome it?" Natasha asked with concern, "There are so many wizards and so many strange things in this world, there is always something that can help you, right?"

Ma Linglong thought for a while.

"There is a way?" Natasha accurately captured the flash in Ma Linglong's eyes, "It's just that this method is extremely difficult to implement, almost equal to impossible, so you ignore it, but you know how to do it? I I can help you, I can use my resources in S.H.I.E.L.D., if you are willing to tell me this secret."

"Let's not talk about this first." Ma Linglong licked her lips uncomfortably. She was probably moved by Natasha, and she tried her best to appear calm, but she knew that she could never fool Natasha again. "Thank you, thank you, I mean, God... If you die, I'm not expecting this, I mean, I will do a ritual for you for free to help you reincarnate, if you Die before me."

"I'm amazed at the way you express your gratitude." Natasha hugged her suddenly. "All it takes is a hug, and it works for both of us."

"Don't trust people from S.H.I.E.L.D." Ma Linglong suddenly whispered in Natasha's ear, "Including those you trusted, if you have one."

"I thought you could explain more clearly?" said Natasha, pursing her lips.

"It's not a matter of a day or two for Chang Luo to kill me. The internal structure of the enchantment set up in the garage is very complicated. With his mana at that time, it was almost impossible to do it in an instant. I believe he has no helpers, otherwise I I can't kill him." Ma Linglong paused, "How did he know that I would appear in that place at that time, I rarely go to 'Tysons Corner'."

Natasha didn't answer at first. She knew what Ma Linglong meant, and also knew that it was unlikely that Chang Luo would follow them all the way. There were many spies along the way, and Ma Linglong was considered a dangerous person.

"You're right." Natasha said, "Tysons Corner is our pre-set plan, just because you rarely go, and we believe you will agree to my invitation, even if you didn't agree at that time, I There are other ways to get you there, too."

Natasha suddenly thought of something, and she stood up: "I have to go honey, I should be very happy that you gave me this information, to be honest, I hope it is false."

"You can start with the wizard department of S.H.I.E.L.D." Ma Linglong said, "Also, I'll ask the owl to bring you the information."

"What information?"

"Our deal, you promise not to tell anyone my secret reward." Ma Linglong said, "Owl is the safest way of communication, believe me, even though it looks backward."

"I'm willing to do it for free, this time."

"Let's accept it, your physical skills may be able to pinch the wizard to death."

Natasha smiled and said, "You shouldn't be drinking here now, my girl, you're not like me, I don't have a family, I don't care. But you do, you can hold Tony and act like a baby, like a normal , A hurt girl needs her boyfriend to comfort her, and that will make you feel better."

Ma Linglong nodded thoughtfully.

"After all," said Natasha, "it's not a pleasant thing to kill."

The author has something to say: [Note]: Here is the Forgetting Curse, which is similar to when Hermione was dealing with Voldemort. In order to fear that she would make her parents sad when she died, she erased her parents' memories about herself. It is just an ordinary forgetting spell.

It's HE, it's HE, little angels.
