The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Collingwood Mental Asylum—

They didn't get any information from the dean. Compared with the patients, the dean seemed to be crazier before he was alive. He completely dedicated himself to the devil. "My master, my master".Ma Linglong had no choice but to put him in the bottle first, planning to bring him back and talk later.

She lights up the whole room with magic, and then reminds the agents not to step on the formation, because it is easy to be pulled in by the imps (if any) in the formation.

Ma Linglong noticed a very familiar pattern hidden in the middle of the formation.

Skeletons and pythons.

It's the Dark Mark.

Before she had time to think about it, a green light shot straight at Barton. Steve quickly calculated the angle and threw a shield between the beam of light and Barton.

The energy bounced off the shield and disappeared into the wall.

A person wearing a black robe slowly came out from the gap in the wall. Of course, there was no real wall there, but just a phantom like a wall, and the area of ​​the entire room was definitely not as small as it appeared to the naked eye.

The black-robed wizard wears a hood, and the hat is connected to the robe. He is tall and thin, and the baggy clothes are loose and loose on the body, which looks very uncoordinated.Ma Linglong recognized that it was an American wizard's robe, and she sent Steve's shield back to the master with a magic wand: "Be careful." Ma Linglong said to everyone.

The black-robed wizard walked to the other end of the formation and stood still.

"Death Eaters." Ma Linglong said in an affirmative tone, "You created everything here?"

The black-robed wizard took off his hat, and Ma Linglong immediately became alert: "Laza!"

Raza, the dark wizard who planned to kidnap Stark, the leader of the Ten Commandments, the guy who roasted the back of Ma Linglong's hand in Afghanistan.In fact, Ma Linglong didn't hold grudges that much, she almost deleted this man from her memory, even though it was impossible for her to forget his appearance.

Ma Linglong thought that the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic had already dealt with him, but now it seems that they definitely haven't.

"You surprised me, witch." Raza said slowly, he glanced at Ma Linglong and the group of people behind him with malicious eyes, Raza was much thinner than before, his face was no longer plump, this may Something to do with his association with demons, "You can get here with a bunch of scum," he said, "it can only be here, I should thank you for bringing me so many sacrifices, it just needs a little food."

The "it" in Raza's mouth should refer to the demon. Ma Linglong quickly scanned the entire room, looking for the most likely habitat of the demon, and finally she focused on the formation.

The reason why the agents didn't ask any questions for the time being was that they had already learned important information from the conversation between the two, and now was definitely not the time to ask for details, what they had to do was to quickly familiarize themselves with the terrain.

Ma Linglong didn't know how long Raza had been dormant in the hospital, but he definitely wasn't here from the beginning, he probably escaped here or just came here and discovered the situation of the hospital.Raza had undoubtedly made a deal with the devil, which was not particularly difficult for the dark wizard, and the devil naturally benefited more from the dark wizard than from the dean.

Ma Linglong suddenly felt the undercurrent that was about to move under the formation.She shook her hands behind her back, motioning for Steve to get everyone out of this place quickly.

"No one can leave today." Laza seemed to see through Ma Linglong's mind.As soon as he raised his hand, a few red lights shot out from the formation, approaching the agent.

Ma Linglong threw out her spell card and blocked the deadly light: "Go!" She said to everyone,

The layout of the room began to change rapidly. The original door had disappeared, replaced by a high wall painted with spells.Everything around is expanding rapidly, and soon the area of ​​100 square meters has become several hundred square meters, as if the basement in front of me is a small underground garage.

"I think I have a debt to you, witch." Raza took out his wand, and he replaced it with a new one. "You take my wand and destroy my base and arsenal."

Ma Linglong moved slowly along the outer circle of the formation, dripping her own blood on it at intervals: "Coincidentally, I also have a debt to settle with you."

"What can you do alone," Raza said, staring at her intently. "You think you can protect them, a bunch of No-Maj?"

"It's really troublesome." Ma Linglong smiled slightly, "So I also found a helper."

A figure jumped down from the high wall, and the red cloak was particularly eye-catching in the earth-gray room. The comer was suspended in mid-air for a while, and then landed safely, with the Eye of Argo Mordor hanging on his chest.

"Who are you?" Raza said, pointing his wand at the intruder who came suddenly.

"Dr. Strange," said the visitor, and he looked at Steve again. "The Avengers?"

Steve asked, "Doctor?"

"It's actually a mage. I used to be a doctor, but it doesn't matter." Strange said, "The Avengers should fight against alien crimes, and I can solve the problem of magic." He glanced at Ma Ling Long, added, "We."

Ma Linglong got in touch with Strange before entering the hospital. She sent information about Collingwood to his mailbox, and hoped that he could cooperate with her. Of course, Strange had no reason to refuse.The magic of space change didn't hinder him much. After receiving the invitation, Strange has been following Ma Linglong to wait for the opportunity to act. The reason why he has been hiding and not showing himself is this moment.

Raza didn't show any panic because of the addition of the second person. He activated the evil spell, and the room shook suddenly.

A black shapeless unknown object gradually stretched out from the center of the array. With violent shaking and ear-piercing screams, the object became bigger and bigger until it fully revealed its shape, and it already occupied half the height of the entire house. .

That is the original appearance of the devil. The body formed by the condensed evil resentment is very huge, and it is surrounded by things like smoke. Those are the souls of the resentful spirits. The devil relies on the souls of living beings to strengthen its own strength.

Ma Linglong immediately transformed a golden lucky star from his palm, and silently recited the nine-character mantra in his heart.

The golden dragon soared into the sky and rushed towards the direction of the demon.

"Steve." Ma Linglong took off the gemstone ring and handed it to him, "Take this."

"What are you going to do?" Steve showed a worried look. He remembered that the last time he saw the dragon, Ma Linglong fell into a coma not long after.

Ma Linglong threw her cloak into Natasha's hand: "Put it on and follow me, I will take you out of this place." She turned her head and said to Strange, "I'll leave it to you for now , I’ll come as I go.”

Florida--

The cooperation between Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne is pleasant and tacit. Before today, neither of them probably even thought about it.Stark thinks that Batman is a better teammate than Captain America, because Captain America can barely understand Stark's bad jokes in battle, but Batman understands them all, although he doesn't laugh much.

Of course, he would not admit this in front of the dark Batman, although the attitude shown by Stark is enough to illustrate this point.

"Honestly," Stark said, "I think I need to explain that maybe you don't remember that I wasn't able to participate in that unpleasant meeting that the two of us were planning to work together."

"Unfortunately, I am deeply impressed." Batman's deep voice became more ethereal through the communication device, "The great Iron Man wants to apologize to me."

The two were flying to Florida, and the light above the clouds was just right. Stark really wanted to tell Ma Linglong that the beautiful scenery he saw at this moment reminded him of their first date.

Unfortunately, Stark was unable to communicate with Ma Linglong, and they had lost contact for seven days.

And the reason why he didn't show impatience like before is probably because, three days ago, Stark found that the Iron Cat was missing, and the only one who could abduct this alive machine was Ma Linglong. Stark took it unnoticed, furtively.

This made Stark confident in Ma Linglong's rescue. He asked Jarvis to scan the room every day to see if there was anything missing, so as to prove that his girl could leave that terrible place at any time.

Bruce drove his Batjet to increase the horsepower, and Stark's red figure was just outside the window of the fighter plane. They found out that the signal source of the Mandarin interfering with the TV station was actually in the United States, and the place where it appeared last time happened to be Miami .

"I'm in some trouble." Stark said to him, "I was injured in a gun battle on the way here, and it was published in the newspapers. You must not have paid attention."

Although it happened several years ago, Bruce still can't forget the annoyance after being rejected by Stark: "The newspaper said that you and two or three popular female models spent 8 million U.S. dollars in the casino, creating a record in history. world record, just half an hour before the start of the meeting."

"And then there's the shootout." Stark immediately said, "I'm not lying to you, maybe I'll be an hour or two late that day, but I swear I'm really ready to go. With two or three popular female models, Come on, don't you like it too, I guess our conversation will be a lot more interesting with pretty girls in there."

"The media only reports about your 8 million yuan." Batman insisted.

"Well, you know very well that the boring life of rich people is so ridiculous, and the media always likes to use these numbers to attract attention, saying that you have never done ridiculous things. You should check the monitoring, I mean, If you can still find out the surveillance cameras in that block back then, you will know that I am not lying." Stark said, "I remember it was gang fights or something, you know, there are such a group of people in Los Angeles." [Note]

"Not interested." Batman is too lazy to go through such an old account, he thinks it's Stark's chatter to pass the time of the flight, and Robin used to be like that.He always likes to talk endlessly when he takes action, and he doesn't know where he gets so many ideas and energy.

Now that I think about it, Batman wasn't disgusted at all, it's just that he couldn't hear the one-liners coming out of Kid Robin anymore.

"That Maya Hansen." Batman said, "What is your relationship with her?"

"It's similar to the relationship between you and those female companions." Stark said, "Hey, don't tell Linglong, she will be upset, even though she knows about me."

"I'm not interested in exposing your love history, don't you think it's strange Stark, why does she have to find you, if you are just a one-night stand."

"Maybe it's because I gave her some money at the time?" Stark said uncertainly, "Wait, I remember I gave her something else, but I kind of forgot, I guess it must not be important thing."

Maya Hansen provided them with clues about possible illegal transactions between Killian and the Mandarin, and she is now closely guarded by agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The factory that Killian belongs to is not a pharmaceutical company. Since he was rejected by Stark 13 years ago, he has devoted himself to researching something more powerful and vowed to completely defeat Stark.Just like Stark stomped his pride on the floor, Killian wants him to never turn over.

He devoted a lot of time to research, and a few years later, during a certain experiment, he accidentally synthesized a biological virus, which can strengthen human body functions and cure disabilities.It's just that this creation that wasn't in the plan was extremely unstable. Killian knew that he alone couldn't go further, so he used some means to get huge research funds from the government.Then he quickly found Maya and gave the female doctor of genetics a lot of money to lure her to join his team. 【Note】

At that time, the experiment finally got better. Killian was not satisfied with only experimenting on animals. He recruited a large number of veterans who became disabled due to various reasons and suffered from the inability to continue their lives. They had boyfriends and women. , he gave them money and shelter, and unrealistic promises.

Killian told them that as long as the virus is injected into the blood, they can restore their previous physique, even stronger, and they can do whatever they want at that time.

These soldiers abandoned by the world are full of resentment and anger. They once served the country on the battlefield. If they can no longer fight, they are abandoned by the country and can only live on relief money.They have long been tired of this world, everyone thinks of revenge and destruction, such extreme thoughts gave them the motivation to accept the experiment.

The end result was mixed. Some people survived the experiment, and the virus gradually stabilized in their bodies, but most died on the spot.The virus caused the human blood temperature to rise rapidly, as if the viscera had been placed with a powerful gun, until the body could no longer withstand the high temperature and exploded, leaving only a mass of black figures on the scene.

Maya was really frightened at first. Before that, she only used her biotechnology on plants. She had seen plants explode, but she couldn't accept that living people and plants had the same fate.But Killian urgently comforted her, making her feel that these are not human beings but just experimental subjects. They were originally wastes struggling on the verge of death. Before accepting the experiment, everyone had signed a death agreement. No one forced them to do this. They were all voluntary. of.

Killian pointed to a successful example and said that Maya gave the other person a second life. She should not blame herself for the accident during the experiment. Before any research is successful, there will be countless failed tests.

At that time, Maya was very contradictory. On the one hand, she hoped that her research could be further developed, and on the other hand, she condemned herself all the time.The reason for Maya's compromise was that if it wasn't for Killian, she might still be troubled by a bunch of flowers and plants. At that time, she just needed research funds and a research site. Killian gave her everything. Willing to give up halfway, Maya forced herself to treat humans like plants.

She extracted antibodies from successful people, modified the virus, and injected it into Killian's blood.This time she really succeeded. Apart from the need to inject Killian with antibodies to stabilize the virus every once in a while, there are almost no other sequelae.

However, Maya is hiding one crucial thing.

The power that Killian now possesses is no longer in the human category. He can manipulate the heat source of the virus to spit out fireballs and pillars with a temperature exceeding 3000 degrees Celsius from his mouth.His whole body is full of high-calorie natural weapons, even if he is injured, he can heal himself immediately.

She didn't tell Stark that Killian is now a walking nuke/bomb

Maya didn't find Stark to expose Killian's crimes, but Bruce found the evidence and had to confess part of the truth. Her real purpose was to bring Stark to Killian and her laboratory to continue with herself. modified virus

Thirteen years ago, Stark gave Maya a formula, and she got a lot of answers from that formula. She believed that Stark's technology could completely stabilize the virus.

Although Killian is using Maya, in fact, Maya is using him, but the situation is completely out of control now.Maya naively thought that as long as Killian became a normal person, the source of all evils would be appeased.She just wants to prove her talent through research, not use it to create panic.

Maya doesn't want Stark to know the truth and ruin her life's work. Killian is the best successful experiment so far, and he is a convincing living success story.Maya cast herself in front of Stark as a technician who inadvertently knew the boss's plot, providing him with mixed information.

And Stark's lack of suspicion made Maya think they could rekindle their old relationship at first.

Stark and Bruce arrived at their destination quickly, and they landed directly near the signal launch. Batman refused to be dragged into the sky by Stark. He probably felt that Batman was hurt by Iron Man's flying. move.

The two successfully sneaked into the mansion in front of them without taking too much time. The positioning system captured the signal of the Mandarin, and he was on the top floor of the house.

What surprised Bruce was that the security personnel distributed around the mansion were very scarce, and there were no protective nets or traps installed.It's like a place where ordinary rich people live, not a stronghold of a terrorist leader.

"It's weird," Batman said conclusively.

They pushed open a half-covered room on the second floor. The layout inside looked like a decoration for a photography studio. The crude photo and video equipment and post-processing equipment were piled up in the corner of the room.Not far away, a familiar background caught the eyes of the two. Stark remembered the very expensive golden velvet sofa, which seemed to be a prop that Mandarin often appeared when they spoke alone.

Stark thought it should at least be something only in the personal space of the first warlord.

"I have a wild guess," Stark said.

"I don't think I'm too far from your guess. Keep going."

"You don't need to tell me,"

Scanning through the metal visor, Stark noticed a thermal reaction on the roof.They walked up the spiral staircase without encountering a single security guard.

It appeared to be a master bedroom, spacious but untidy, with underwear strewn all over the floor.Lying on the double bed in the middle are two beautiful women, who should be prostitutes based on Playboy's experience.

"I'll look elsewhere," Bruce said.

Stark woke up the sleeping women, and they screamed when they saw him, not from fear.

"Oh, you're Iron Man!" one of the women pointed at Stark.

Stark raised his fingers and made a silent gesture: "Okay, girls, tell me, where is the Mandarin?"

"Who?"

"Mandarin," Stark repeated, "well, he has an oriental face and long, black hair."

Just as Stark was speaking, the sound of flushing the toilet sounded from the bathroom, and a man who fit the description just now wobbled out of the bathroom with his pants up.

"Wow!" The middle-aged man who looked like a Mandarin sighed after seeing Iron Man, "Are you, Iron Man, Jesus Christ, you are really Iron Man, your outfit Awesome!"

"You're not really Mandarin." Stark aimed his palm gun at the impostor, who wasn't even Chinese, he might be from the Middle East or somewhere else in Asia, "Where is he, impostor!"

The real Mandarin is absolutely impossible to look like this sloppy, sloppy ghost who sighs at Iron Man's armor, let alone not even a security guard, but only two prostitutes on the bed.

"What what?" The fake Mandarin looked at him with some trepidation, "Don't get excited, Iron Man, I'm a Mandarin, I mean, there's only one Mandarin, and that's me, and I'm not really a Mandarin. "

"Don't try to play tricks, counterfeit, those terrorist attacks are not a joke, maybe you want to eat me instead of a real Mandarin." Stark made a sharp voice when he activated the pulse, "Do you want to?"

"No no, listen to me, I don't think you understand, there are no Mandarins, no! My name is Trevors Lightly, I'm an actor, a comedian, and everything here is fake, I put it on. "The fake Mandarin didn't have much fear in his eyes, but he showed a very positive side about being able to talk to Iron Man, "The Mandarin is just a setting, not a real person. They found me and gave me this role and A sum of money. I need this money, I know I'm about to do something illegal, but I owe a loan shark, I'm on drugs and they offer me drugs, it's a blast, I have no reason to say no."

"Who are they?" Stark heard the crux of the problem and began to call Batman.

"Killian, that's how he introduced himself," said the Manchurian. "A guy who looks like a successful guy, what the hell."

"What do you mean?" Stark said angrily, "Do you know how many people died outside because of you?"

"But I'm just an actor, I don't do anything, well, I just cooperate with the show, and I will go to jail at worst."

At this moment, the sound of fighting came from outside the door, and Stark ran out immediately.

Batman's black-winged cloak flashed over his head, and then a fireball with a heat over 3000 degrees almost hit the dark knight in the back.

"Do you need help, buddy." Stark saw a man, his whole body exuded more heat than a normal human body should have. Everywhere he went, he would burn things around him, "Where did you provoke such a' Hot' boy?"

Stark probably knows what's behind those suicide bombings where the casings can't be found.

"Quick fight," Batman said. "The real Mandarin is the one named Killian!"

The author has something to say:

[Note 1]: The gangs/gangs in Los Angeles are very famous.

[Note 2]: The virus mentioned here is the predecessor of the Extremis virus, of course, based on the movie universe.

Today I should have finished the plot of the hospital completely, because some things happened suddenly and I was very confused, I really can’t write any more, I’m very sorry. . .But it has already come to an end. The ending of this branch line is probably different from what everyone guessed, and the person you think will come later.
