[Comprehensive English and American] The years I opened a grocery store in Queens

Every day at six o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky is slightly later, it is Isabella's business time.

Isabella prefers night to day.During the day, most human beings are running for their livelihoods. At night, when they take off their tired clothes and go home, the neon lights of the city are lit up, illuminating the entire night sky with colorful colors, and all the air becomes free and happy.

Isabella guards a small grocery store in the bustling city. Most of the time, she doesn't have any business, and just sits at the counter, reading the boxes of books that Tony Stark gave her.

Ravenclaw has always attached importance to knowledge first, and Isabella has learned a lot from these books. She wants to try to see what the results will be when combining magic and science.

The process of trying was not smooth. The tube of reagent that Isabella was tinkering with had failed several times, and each failure always brought new disasters. The previous time Isabella’s smooth hair was directly blown to pieces. With an exploding head, she seemed to have put a red pineapple on her head. This time, the whole bottle of reagent was as viscous and disgusting as slug saliva, and there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Sometimes Isabella really hates herself for having such a keen smell, such a little smell that others can't smell at all, but when it comes to her, the smell of blood becomes extremely strong.

A strange impulse surged in Isabella's heart. If the bottle of reagent didn't look too disgusting, she might really drink it. The smell of blood seemed to be cursed, luring her all the time.

Isabella suppressed the desire in her heart, threw the reagent that failed the experiment into the trash can outside, and threw an air freshening spell into the store.

The spell took effect immediately, and by the time she came back, the smell of white roses and gooseberries had returned to the shop, but the smell of blood in the air had not diminished one iota.

The reagents had been thrown out, and that was the smell of other things in the grocery store.

Isabella silently recited a spell in her heart, tapped the air with her wand, it was a manifest spell.

Then the door of the locker on the right opened, and a man rolled out from inside. He was wearing a shabby green dress, the sleeve of his left arm was torn to half, and a small amount of blood was oozing from a clear red wound.

Suddenly a gigantic clock rang in Isabella's head, and the lingering longing grew stronger as her amber green eyes touched the blood on the man's arm.

"Isabella, are you okay?" Professor X's voice suddenly came, and he entered Isabella's thinking through the brain wave enhancer.

"Daddy, I'm fine."

Isabella has always known that Professor X can use the brain wave enhancer to get in touch with her. Hogwarts has blocked all electronic devices, and she and Professor X communicate in this way every night.

But Isabella didn't know that when the desire for blood surged in her heart, the brain wave booster made a thunderous sound, and Professor X almost entered her thinking at the fastest speed.

"What's going on with you?" Professor X asked, his voice urgent.

Isabella pointed her wand at the man who rolled out of the locker, and he obediently raised his hands above his head.

"A strange man is hiding in my shop..." Isabella was talking to Professor X while sizing up the man. His face was thin, and he wore an old electronic watch on his right wrist. There was no malice in his eyes, and more More is to ask for help.

"Is he injured?"

Isabella felt that Professor X was so predictable, she replied: "Yes, there was a cut in his wrist."

Isabella tried her best to avoid the wound on his hand, and she didn't know why she had such a big reaction when she saw blood.

Professor X spoke over there: "Listen, good boy, it may be a test for you now, on the premise of protecting yourself, help that person deal with the wound."

Isabella accepted what Professor X called the "test". She cast a "total petrification" spell on the man. He couldn't move, and his eyes looked at Isabella in horror.

In fact, as long as she recited the "restore to original" spell, the man's wound can be completely healed, and there will be no scars, but Professor X insisted that she treat the wound in a Muggle way.

But she didn't even have medical gauze here, so she had to find a clean towel to wipe the man's wound.

Merlin knew how much she was suffering right now.

The man's eyes followed her movements all the time. Before petrification, his right hand was always on top of his left, so Isabella also saw the number displayed on his watch: 147.

His watch is not actually used to tell the time.

Isabella wiped off the blood on his arm, and faced the bloodstains on the white towel, she was calmer than before.

"Okay, you passed this test."

Isabella obviously felt that Professor X over there breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daddy," Isabella called to him, "what's the matter with me?"

Why is there a strange thirst for human blood?

"You were sick before, this is the root cause of the disease, but it's nothing serious." Professor X replied, his voice was as warm as ever, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Isabella was a little relieved. She never questioned what her father said. Professor X cut off contact with her and let her handle the man's affairs independently. This is a difficult problem. What can she do? throw it out?

The man looked very embarrassed, lying on the ground obliquely, without even struggling. Judging from his performance just now, he was more like a desperate poor man, and he had no intention of harming others.

Isabella hesitated for a while, then released the spell on him, and said to him, "Let's go."

But he was paralyzed there and did not move.

"My name is Bruce Banner," he introduced himself to Isabella. "I wrote that physics book you were reading."

Isabella saw the dark blue physics book on the counter, and the name "Bruce Banner" was indeed written in the author column.

Isabella never thought that a well-known physicist would appear in front of her in such a posture and attire. Isabella thought that scholars would wear gold-rimmed glasses and wear clothes that were not expensive but of high quality. The elegant suit is full of books at first glance.

The embarrassed person in front of him really couldn't let Isabella associate him with the scholar.

"Wait."

Isabella turned on the computer beside her, entered the keyword "Bruce Banner", and his photos and related news popped up.

Isabella compared the photo with the real person, and the doubts in her heart disappeared. Compared with the photo, the person in front of her was only thinner and more vicissitudes. By.

In related news, the physicist has been missing for a long time, and the relevant authorities are trying their best to find him.

Isabella can be sure that he must have had a hard time these days.

Bruce Banner had already stood up, his steps were not brisk, and he slowly came to the counter.

A series of experimental tools such as reagent racks and distillers, as well as books compiled by himself were placed on the counter. His fingers rubbed the covers of the books, and Isabella noticed that his fingers had a thin layer of calluses.

"Although chemistry is not my specialty," Bruce Banner said when he saw the series of experimental tools, "but I think the condensation method might work."

He has watched her experiments fail since he hid in.

Isabella nodded, indicating that she would try.

"Little girl, what method did you use just now to immobilize me?"

Isabella was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's not convenient to disclose this."

The Ministry of Magic stipulates that the magic world should not be easily exposed to Muggles, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles. In this world, there are only a few people who know that she knows magic, and they all tacitly regard it as a secret. Even the talkative Tony Stark didn't reveal a word to others.

After listening to Isabella's answer, Bruce Banner's eyes dimmed instantly, and Isabella felt a little guilty, but he turned to a glimmer of new hope.

He asked Isabella: "Then can you make people temporarily invisible?"

Bruce Banner saw the hesitation in Isabella's amber green eyes, and he knew that she was struggling, so the red-haired girl in front of him must have a way to make him invisible.

Bruce Banner took a deep breath, and he decided to risk telling the red-haired girl in front of him all his experiences and plans in exchange for her help.

"Have you ever heard of gamma rays?"

Isabella felt that Bruce Banner and Tony Stark must have a lot to talk about. Both of them liked to ask her physics questions. These physics questions had one thing in common: she couldn't answer them at all.

Isabella shook her head honestly.

Bruce Banner explained to her: "Gamma rays are the rays released when the nuclear energy level transition is de-excited. They are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength shorter than 0.01 angstroms, and they have strong penetrating power."

Isabella wondered why he was saying this, and she said, "I know someone who might be willing to discuss this with you."

Isabella wants to call Tony Stark.

"No, I'm not going to give you a lesson, I'm going to tell you," Bruce Banner looked into Isabella's eyes sincerely, "I'm infected with gamma rays."

With Isabella's current knowledge of physics, she still has a long way to go to correctly understand the power of gamma rays, so for the sake of easy understanding, she imagined gamma rays as a powerful magic potion, Bruce Banner is infected by it, turning into a huge Hulk when angry.

"Sounds incredible?" Bruce Banner laughed at himself.

Isabella shook her head. Although she had never seen a real giant, she had seen a half-giant. Hagrid of Hogwarts was a half-giant, much taller than them, holding a cute little red umbrella, I like magical animals and have a warm heart.

Giants cannot be treated as monsters because of physical differences.

"I found a professor who should be able to help me turn back into a normal person, but I need to provide data support. Now I have to go back to the university to steal back the data of the original experiment. Can you help me?"

Bruce Banner has figured out that Isabella has a way. All he can do now is to convince this magical girl and beg her to help him. If he can return to the university in stealth, his actions will go much smoother.

Isabella really couldn't resist Bruce Banner's pleading eyes. She knew what it was like to be treated differently by others. She herself was treated as a giant when she first entered Hogwarts because she was taller than ordinary people. However, she was still the kind of underdeveloped giant, and the pointing and staring eyes of her classmates were poking her spine, which made her feel like an ice cellar.

"Okay," Isabella agreed, "but my solution can only last you five hours."
