[Comprehensive British and American] Painting ghosts

In a dark room, a person was lying on the ground, his expression distorted due to pain, his body curled up and convulsed, his throat made a non-human roar, his eyes were red, and physiological tears kept sliding down his face.That face is clearly that of the thief just now, and his tall body is curled up like a chrysalis at the moment.

"Forgive me... I..." His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his vocal cords. If he didn't get close, it was almost impossible to distinguish whether it was a painful roar or a sentence.

Voldemort stood by the window, the window was high, and only a faint light shone in from the window.His whole body fell into the shadows, and he couldn't see his face or his expression clearly.

He didn't say a word, just stood there, watching his prisoner die from the Cruciatus Curse.

I don't know how long it took before he walked over, lowered his head and looked down at the thief who had been tortured to the point of losing his voice, and asked suddenly after a long while:

"Do you know where the best painting material store near here is?"

The thief was unable to say a word because of the Cruciatus Curse. He heard this sentence on the verge of unconsciousness. The other party's tone was very calm, but he was like being immersed in a glacier in the cold winter season, and he woke up in an instant.

He nodded quickly, staring at Voldemort pleadingly.

He waited for the other party to lift the curse-like torment on his body, even if it would be no problem to exchange everything he knew.

However, Voldemort did not mean to lift the Cruciatus Curse. His indifferent eyes followed the thief's pleading eyes into his brain, and plucked out all the memories in his brain without mercy. .

At that moment, the world almost collapsed for the thief, and the severe headache almost surpassed the pain caused by the Cruciatus Curse.

Voldemort looked at his memory quickly, but stopped suddenly at a memory.

He saw everything that happened just now through the thief's perspective.

He saw Shen Yanzhou being bumped and took a step backwards, he saw the thief's hand taking his wallet incomparably skillfully.

He saw a slender white hand grabbing the thief's arm, and he saw the gentle and deep eyes hidden behind the sunglasses.

He saw that face that was separated by a long time and crossed two planes, but was still extremely familiar.

……

Voldemort closed his eyes, sighed, and with a single finger of the yew wand, he wiped out all the memory of the thief.

He wanted to kill the Muggle, but in the end he didn't do it.It wasn't because of the sudden pity, but because he wanted to restrain the urge to kill that was constantly stirring in the depths of his soul as much as possible.

And that memory about Shen Yanzhou undoubtedly calmed his heart a lot.

He pushed open the door of the hut, and disappeared.

……

Xavier School for Gifted Teens.

Kuaiyin chewed gum and harassed his sister: "Hey, sister, let's skip the afternoon class."

Wanda flicked the book slightly, and looked at her younger brother with disapproval: "Why are you skipping class?"

When Kuaiyin heard this, he felt that there was something going on, so he quickly pulled himself together and tried to convince his sister, "Go shopping!"

Women like to go shopping, and this law must also apply to their elder sisters.

"But the class in the afternoon..." The class in the afternoon belongs to Lingdie, if she is caught skipping class, it will be very bad.

"It's okay. In fact, I have always felt that there is no need for the two of us to take fighting skills classes. It is of no use to us." Kuaiyin said immediately.

Wanda was a little moved. In fact, she would prefer to go shopping than to not want to move a finger when she was tired of learning fighting skills in class.Since the two of them came out of the Hydra base, they didn't have much time to take a good look at the streets of New York.

"Okay." Wanda nodded. "However, it is absolutely forbidden to use abilities outside! Right now, the relationship between humans and mutants outside is very tense."

"Don't worry." Kuaiyin quickly assured.

So the two hit it off, changed their clothes and quietly slipped out of Xavier School for Gifted Youth.

The shopping process was a very happy thing for Wanda and Kuaiyin. The two wandered around the streets of Manhattan, bought a bunch of large and small bags of goods, and each held an ice cream in their hands.

The twins have experienced the cruelty of war and the pain of losing their loved ones since they were young. After growing up a little, they went to Hydra to undergo experiments, and then stayed in Xavier School for Gifted Youth. It can be said that there is really nothing worthwhile in their past memories. Happy memories of memories.They rarely do things like shopping.

The two sat in a street coffee shop, eating ice cream under a parasol, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and suddenly had a feeling of "this is life".

"This trip is really worth it." Kuaiyin sighed.

Wanda glanced at the pile of new clothes she had bought, and nodded approvingly.

"Why don't we go to the movies later." Kuaiyin glanced at the time displayed on the big screen on the opposite floor. It was still early, and they had time to watch another movie.

"Have you seen any good movies lately?" Wanda asked.

"I heard from Phantom Cat that a good movie was released recently, with various big-name actors, but the plot seemed to be very abusive. I heard that many girls ran out crying after watching the movie. Shall we challenge it? What?" Kuaiyin said incessantly. "I walked all the way just now, and I saw a lot of promotional posters. They really look good... Hey, are you listening?"

Wanda looked at the walking crowd, but her eyes were obviously dull.

Kuaiyin waved his hand in front of Wanda's eyes, "Hey, you're back to your senses!"

Wanda looked at Kuaiyin, but she obviously didn't recover, and was still in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Quicksilver probed to look in the direction Wanda was looking at just now. "What did you see?"

"...Maybe I was wrong." It took a long time for Wanda to come back to her senses, she shook her head, hesitated for a while, and then turned her head again to look in the direction just now, to confirm whether she was wrong.

On the other side of the street was a courier delivery station, and she just vaguely saw a somewhat familiar figure walking in.

It is a bit familiar, but in fact Wanda has never seen this person in a real sense at all, she has only seen him in hallucinations produced by others, but it is precisely because of this that she is so impressed.

In Shen Yanzhou's hallucination, the person she saw seemed to gather the purest malice in the world. He had a handsome face that was as delicate as a sculpture, and he even had an elegant smile on his face, but he was more than Wang Wang. Darker than darkness itself was anyone Da had ever met.

Such a person even once became her nightmare.

Later, when she and Charles accidentally chatted about Shen Yanzhou, she learned from him that this man was dead.But today, she felt that she saw this person, just when she was looking at the streets of New York where people were coming and going, she saw it inadvertently.

At that moment, she was stunned, and then she was deeply suspicious, wondering whether she had read it wrong.

Her eyes were fixed on the door. If that person really walked in, he should come out of that door again.

Kuaiyin also stared at the door of the courier station with his sister. Although he didn't know what his sister was nervous about, he knew Wanda very well. If something really terrible didn't happen, his sister wouldn't reveal it. That tense expression.

After 10 minutes, the door was finally opened.

Voldemort came out from behind the door. He bought a lot of high-end paints and painting tools at the painting materials store. Because it was inconvenient for him to send them directly to Shen Yanzhou, he used Muggle express.He had never used this method before, so he was not familiar with it, and the little girl who received the mail saw that he couldn't even speak clearly, which wasted a lot of time.

So at this time, the Dark Lord was obviously not in a good mood, and walked out with a dark face.

In Wanda's eyes, this was undoubtedly a gloomy face full of murderous intent. The moment her eyes touched Voldemort, she felt her heart was frozen, and with a slight tremor of her hand, the ice cream ball rolled directly onto the ground. on the desktop.And she didn't feel it, just stared blankly at Voldemort standing on the street, looking at the cold night in his dark eyes.

Voldemort also noticed Wanda's gaze. He followed this gaze and saw a girl sitting in a street coffee shop on the corner of the street. The girl stared at him with wide eyes, as if someone had pressed the pause button. up.

The moment Voldemort looked at her, Wanda felt like she had fallen into a icy lake, and slowly froze from the outside to the inside. The energy in her body seemed to stagnate at this moment, just like the prey that was stared at by the hunter. Instinctive fear.

Voldemort also immediately noticed the abnormal emotion in the girl's eyes. It was an emotion similar to fear. She was different from other girls looking at him, she was afraid.

Voldemort narrowed his eyes.

When Wanda noticed that the other party noticed her, she had already started to force herself to look away. She knew that if she continued to look at her like this, it would definitely be dangerous.

But she couldn't look away, the other's eyes were like the whirlpool of the deep sea, and she was just a ship struggling in the storm.

Until Kuaiyin patted her on the shoulder, his tone was a bit weird: "What's wrong with you? The ice cream has all fallen, and you still haven't responded at all. You just like that handsome guy opposite?"

This shot seemed to lift some curse, Wanda immediately broke free from the vortex, she suddenly turned to look at Kuaiyin, her chest heaved violently, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood, and finally It was like breathing air, panting uncontrollably.

Kuaiyin felt a little puzzled at first, but now he was a little worried: "What's wrong with you?" As he said that, he wanted to look in the direction Wanda was looking at just now.

"Don't look!" Wanda said hastily.

It was too late, Kuaiyin had already looked over.

"There's no one left," Quicksilver said.

Wanda was slightly taken aback, then turned her head to look at where the man was standing just now.Sure enough, there was no one there.

She was stunned for a while, then suddenly stood up, pulled Kuaiyin and walked back.

"Hey, wait a minute, we haven't got our things yet!" Kuaiyin looked at the pile of Lego building blocks he had just bought.

"Forget about it, we have to go back quickly." Wanda said solemnly.

She must tell Charles the news immediately.
