The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

"The gear hasn't been tested in any way, and I don't think I'd risk my agent's life."

In the waiting three days later, besides Steve and the others, Alexander Pierce is also here. After all, he is the person in charge of the rescue operation.After Pierce's voice stopped, no one continued to answer it, as if this obviously responsible evaluation caused the entire bar to freeze in time.

"We tested it before you came, and it turns out that they work better than any so-called high-end equipment," Coulson told Pierce, arguing, "The most important thing is that they are also from Sta Hand of grams, Stark is an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., and I think we have every reason to trust his skills."

The exorcism equipment provided by Ma Linglong to the agents looks similar to the uniform of the SEAL commando, from the helmet to the goggles, and then the body armor.Of course, it is not an ordinary body armor that can only withstand bullets. Its interlayer is made of fabric engraved with scriptures, which can withstand the melee attacks of most evil spirits, and can even make some people with less spiritual power The ghost backed away.Not only that, as long as a powerful spirit body approaches, they can see through the goggles those special lights that cannot be recognized by the naked eye emanating from the body armor. The stronger the light, the more dangerous the spirit body is. 【Note】

They can judge whether to avoid or fight based on this judgment.

As for the helmet and goggles, they are also essential as auxiliary combat equipment. The helmet is enough to protect the wearer from the evil spirits of the evil spirits, causing unpredictable hallucinations in the brain, maintaining their normal mind, and can also be used as an exorcism when necessary. Weapon use.The goggles have positioning charms and induction functions blessed by spiritual power, which not only allow them to find the hiding place of the spirit body, but also see the movement track of the spirit body through the lens, whether it is in the daytime under the sun or at night. Goggles are also effective in a dark room.

The most convenient thing is that the goggles can also filter out the excess magnetic field in the air, helping users to distinguish the spiritual force fields emitted by good ghosts and evil ghosts.

These two points alone are enough to make everyone excited. When they first got these things, they couldn't wait to put on the helmet and goggles. Even some ghosts that they couldn't see at ordinary times were exposed/exposed to the lenses under.

The ghost-hunting flashlights and sterling silver charm ammunition that Ma Linglong brought to them were also specially made, and even the handle of the gun was engraved with spells to exorcise ghosts.She also specially made simple processing for Steve's shield, so that Captain America's effective weapon can also achieve a certain exorcism effect.

These equipment full of strange functions were all completed by Ma Linglong and Stark. Although their appearance was quite different from the exorcism equipment in the ordinary sense, everything in front of the agent was not simple.They have been cast and processed by Ma Linglong, making them beautiful and practical.

Still skeptical, Pierce picked up a flashlight for lighting: "What's the use of this, I guess it can emit pulsed lasers like Iron Man?"

He was about to press the start switch in front of him, Ma Linglong immediately chanted a spell silently, and took the flashlight out of Pierce's hand: "Don't turn it on here, sir." She waved her hand to the opposite table and chair, the ghosts He quickly left the hall, "The ghost-hunting flashlight is very powerful, and if you turn it on casually, it will easily hurt innocent people." It can be immobilized on the body of the body immediately, and it can be stored in the spirit storage bag of the flashlight and brought out for salvation after 7 seconds of irradiation.

Ma Linglong never advocated killing evil spirits when they saw them, unless it really threatened your life.

"Innocent?" Pierce looked around uncomfortably.

"There are still many things I won't introduce one by one." Ma Linglong put the flashlight back to its original place, "There is an instruction manual to read by yourself, it won't take you long." She threw Pierce a copy of the spirit removal equipment Instructions for use, ranging from bulletproof vests to pocket knives and lighters, the function of everything is clearly written.

Pierce didn't flip through it right away, he stared at the anti-monster equipment in front of him thoughtfully: "What if these don't work?"

"Then there will be no more useful things in this world than them." Ma Linglong continued, "Think about it, is the unknown world your people are about to face really useless? They can completely avoid unnecessary I can give a full set of equipment to S.H.I.E.L.D. for free. As long as the items are not destroyed, each piece of equipment can be used unlimited times. There will be no more practical things than them. If S.H.I.E.L.D. If you want to keep the supernatural department." If it wasn't for her "apprentices", Ma Linglong wouldn't bother talking to Piers.

"It's a good deal." Natasha said, "You have to know, Chief Pierce, it's not easy to get Ma Linglong to give something unconditionally."

Finally, Pierce approved the equipment. Before leaving, he called Coulson aside, said a few words to him, and then left.

"Linglong, you should have taken them out earlier, so that we don't have to stay with ghosts for so many days." Barton picked up a pure black dagger, the surface of which had been soaked in black dog blood for 48 hours. The evil spirits have no difficulty.Barton played with it in his hand, showing his nimble fingers deftly, "These things are almost tailor-made for us."

"Of course it's tailor-made. Each piece of clothing has your names on the nape of the neck. If you wander off during the action, just call out each other's names, and you can find each other and read the instructions yourself." Ma Linglong walked away. Going to the bar, opened two bottles of the most expensive red wine, "First of all, no one told me what you plan to do in a month, and second, even if I prepared them in advance, they were just auxiliary tools. Not familiar with those theoretical knowledge, I don’t know how to deal with ghosts head-on, everything is meaningless, don’t put all your hopes on equipment, once something happens, it’s up to you.”

Ma Linglong took out 8 glasses and filled them with dark red liquid. They each held a glass in their hands very consciously: "There is nothing to say, I wish you good luck." Ma Linglong raised the glasses, Drank it down.

At three o'clock in the morning, everyone fell asleep, or it can be said that they were too drunk, and the men snored one after another. Natasha left the bar an hour ago, as if there was an urgent emergency Task.This was the last day for the agents to spend the night in the bar, and they had a whole three hours of trouble before ending the "ghost party" before their parting. The scene was really like a Halloween atmosphere.

They tried to get them drunk as if they were completely no longer afraid of ghosts, but the result was that everyone was too drunk.

Ma Linglong was flipping through the information on the haunted hospital. The Collingwood Mental Hospital in Texas has a history of a hundred years. It was built in 1893 and has received more than 1963 mental patients. It can be seen that its The scale is huge and the equipment is advanced, especially in that era.But as early as [-], the hospital had to be closed due to endless haunting incidents. To this day, the Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital still stands in that place, neither demolished nor rebuilt.

Since there were rumors on the Internet, everyone who went in, whether it was a thrill-seeking explorer, a government official, or a homeless person, disappeared without exception. They believed that those unfortunate people should still be inside.

"Hi." Steve came out of the darkness, even the strong baijiu didn't bother Captain America in any way, "I want to say thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, I took the money." Ma Linglong didn't look back, as if he was indifferent to him and his team.

"You should do it, I mean, in terms of money." Steve sat on the swivel chair, his fit body supported his resolute and handsome face, "I know you care about us very much."

"Not at all." Ma Linglong said quickly.

"At least care about Natasha and Phil." Steve said with a smile.

"And Clint." Dany suddenly joined the conversation between the two, and she touched Steve's chest, "You are so charming, handsome blonde, I guess you must have many girls pursuing you. "

"Thanks, ma'am," Steve said very politely, "I don't have any girls after me."

"So you're still single?"

Ma Linglong said: "Okay, Dai Ni, go to your place and stay, he is still a virgin, don't waste your time."

"I don't mind if you have experience, Steve." Dany leaned closer to him, and said in a low voice, "I'm in the business of lousy virgins."

Steve doesn't feel any insult to his ego because he's a virgin, but it's embarrassing to say it from a girl who doesn't seem like he should be so familiar with his private life, and he wanted to say something righteous However, Steve realized that it would be futile to put himself between the two women, so he looked away and took a sip of the wine in his glass.

"That cup is mine." Ma Linglong looked at Steve and said.

"Sorry." The man bluntly swallowed the white wine in his mouth hard.

"It's ok."

Dai Nijiao walked away with a smile, and her sweet voice echoed throughout the hall.

"There is a question that I have always found very strange." Steve hesitated whether to return the glass to Ma Linglong or keep it for himself, until Ma Linglong took a new wine glass, "You said that my spiritual force field It is the ghosts who are the last to approach, why did they not seem to show any rejection of me during the special training, and Danny?" Steve insisted on using the second person to refer to ghosts.

"Because they have no malice towards you at all." Ma Linglong said, "It's easy for you to judge. Those who can get close to you are good ghosts, and those who can't get close or have difficulty getting close are evil ghosts."

Steve smiled knowingly.

"Protect them well." Ma Linglong said to him, "That hospital is not simple, no matter what happens after entering, don't act separately, it's not good for you, they listen to you, I hope you can listen mine."

"We will formulate a comprehensive battle plan." Steve nodded.

"Although the equipment is easy to use, when dealing with ghosts, never rely on your previous common sense or cognition to make wrong judgments. Don't expect to be able to keep talking on the walkie-talkie after entering. Where there is deep resentment, there will be strong magnetic interference. What I can teach you is very limited, and you have to die." Ma Linglong pushed a test tube-shaped red crystal to Steve's desk, "There is my aura in it, if there is an uncontrollable situation Just break it."

Steve thanked, and then accepted: "There is one more thing." He said, "Only when a person dies will a soul appear in this world. Is this absolute?"

"Yes."

"This means that if this person is not dead, there is no possibility of a soul appearing?"

Ma Linglong knew what he wanted to express. A few months ago, Ma Linglong originally planned to recruit Bucky's ghost, but failed.Steve didn't understand what was going on at the time, but now he naturally knows it clearly.

"If you can come back alive, I will tell you about James Barnes."

"Are you serious?" Steve couldn't help but raise his voice. "Bucky, is it possible, I mean, that he's actually alive?"

Hogsmeade -

Ma Linglong was drinking butter beer absent-mindedly, sitting opposite her was Sirius, when she ignored Sirius' call for the third time, the man had to snap his fingers in her ear, calling Ma Linglong back too empty consciousness.

"Anxious before marriage." Sirius teased, "It's rare to see you eat so reluctantly."

"not at all."

It has been a week since Steve and the others acted. During these seven days, she had not heard any news about their success or failure. Ma Linglong approached Fury and asked around. Soon the black agent saw that she cared about them. intention.Fury first thanked Ma Linglong for providing the equipment, and then said that the 7 people lost contact with each other two hours after they entered the hospital gate.

Ma Linglong was able to explain this phenomenon. The magnetic field interfered with their communication equipment, making them unable to communicate with the outside world.

"How are you doing?" Ma Linglong changed the subject, thinking in her heart that Steve hadn't broken the crystal yet, which meant they hadn't lost control, even though the lack of news was also worrying.In the worst case, Steve may have encountered an accident and had no chance to break the crystal.

"I'm fine." Sirius shrugged his shoulders, "Did you hear what I just said?"

"what?"

"I guess you're thinking about Anthony? It's frustrating when we finally meet alone and you're always thinking about other men." Sirius said with feigned (probably genuine) frustration, "Have to admit, Anthony He's a nice guy, I know he's set his boundaries with all women since you're in a relationship. He respects you, loves you, and I think he'll be a good husband, and you don't have to worry about that. Of course, if he dares to treat you badly , I will not let him go first."

"I didn't miss him." Ma Linglong said, "Speak back, let's go back to just now, what did you just say?"

Sirius lowered his voice and said: "The day Harry started school, he asked Hedway to bring me a letter, which said that he had dreamed of Voldemort." Sirius was not afraid of the Dark Lord at all, he could easily call Saying the name that everyone is afraid of, without shaking hands and feet, "That dream was so real that Harry still remembers it very clearly, including every detail he saw."

"Where did Harry dream he was?"

"He said it looked like an old house, with stairs and big rooms."

Ma Linglong thought for a while, and said: "Maybe it's just a dream, maybe it's real, don't tell other people about it, and act as if you don't know until it's confirmed that Voldemort is indeed resurrected."

Sirius nodded solemnly.

"You have changed a lot." Ma Linglong said, "If you put it in the past, you would immediately deny my point of view and think that I am too cautious."

Sirius laughed, but he didn't answer right away. At that time, he was just a fool who didn't know how to get the girl's attention. He thought that he could win Ma Linglong's favor by showing himself very assertive.Obviously Ma Linglong misunderstood, and Sirius only knew now.

"Because I've grown up." He had to say, "Look at how thick my beard is."

"Do you want to come to the school to apply for the position of teacher?" Ma Linglong said suddenly, "You are good at many subjects, and Transfiguration class is one of them. Now I am teaching transfiguration in the senior grades, but I am a bit powerless. You Would you like to submit an application to Dumbledore?"

"You mean me, to be a teacher of Transfiguration class?" Sirius became inexplicably nervous, his hands couldn't stop shaking, "No, how can I teach children, it's impossible, I, I've been in prison... ..."

"You have been wronged, this is already known to all."

"No, no, no, I can't, how can I do it..." Sirius paused for a while, he wanted to say too much, but he also had a tongue knot, and then he was choked by beer and coughed When embarrassed, "Your thoughts are terrible, I mean, how could you think of me, you have many choices, it shouldn't be me."

"You know I don't like it, and I've never even had the experience of forcing a friend to do something he doesn't want." Ma Linglong rubbed her bright red nails on the rim of the cup, this action made Sirius feel extremely upset, "But I know you well, Blake, you long to go back to school. You spend your days on the back hill near the Whomping Willow looking out over the gates of Hogwarts, wearing your Gryffindor scarf, and you want to be innocent again. I think you may have forgotten that you are eligible to stay in school as a teacher. I remember Dumbledore making a similar suggestion when you were in seventh grade, but I don't remember what he said Potions or flying lessons, you said you would consider Dumbledore's offer."

Sirius quickened his breathing, not because of anger, or any other negativity.

He was moved.

Ma Linglong continued: "But suddenly one day, everything changed. You lost your freedom and we lost our friends. Even I can understand what an unbearable experience it was. Merlin knew that if he was imprisoned I am in prison, can I do better than you."

"You can." Sirius said with moist eyes, "Of course you can, there's nothing you can't do."

"There are many things I can't do, Blake." Ma Linglong shook her hair, and the girl suddenly found that her hair seemed to be much longer than before, "I can't protect Harry Potter, I can't divide My heart is on him, but you are different, you are the only one who can protect him and make him feel warm."

"I'm not sure if they can accept, like me, those parents who have a criminal record." Sirius jumped out word by word intermittently, "I think I should think about it for a few months, or a few years?"

"Don't worry about your parents." Ma Linglong said, "Do you still remember the headline on the front page of No. 928 of the Prophet newspaper? 'The Tragic Hero endures humiliation and finally pays back', I remember that you seem to have become famous overnight since then, I guess If you come out with a book, the parents of pure-blood families will scramble to buy it."

Los Angeles--

There were as many reporters at the beach house as ever, and the helicopters seemed to be coming and going.Although no one has been interviewed so far (Stark hasn't been out for a long time), there are always reporters.

Ma Linglong manifested into the bedroom as usual, and then came to the living room. Howard was not there, and the place where he often stayed was empty.Ma Linglong closed her eyes and sensed for a while. Howard's soul was indeed not in this home.Ma Linglong felt anxious in her heart. She didn't know what the consequences would be if she stayed beside Steve as a ghost with no offensive power and faced the evil spirits with him.

She got into the elevator and walked into the studio, Ma Linglong found another person inside.

"Lillian, Tony wanted me to tell you that he went to the bathroom, and I guess he'll be here soon."

"Bruce Wayne?" Ma Linglong was a little surprised, but she quickly realized that Batman and Iron Man were already partners, and with Bruce's behavior, it was definitely impossible to let the terrorists wreak havoc.

"I think with our relationship, at least you shouldn't call me by my full name." Bruce smiled and walked away from the suspended computer screen.

"I think you probably have nothing to do with each other." Stark came over and threw the toilet paper into the trash can with precision, "Come on, baby, come into my arms and give me a hot kiss."

"Must be in front of me?" Bruce protested.

Ma Linglong gave Stark a kiss, but it was not hot, not even passionate, but Stark still said very contentedly: "Sometimes it is a lucky thing to have a regular female partner."

Ma Linglong said coldly, "Sometimes?"

"Most of the time." Stark hurriedly corrected mistakes, but the effect was not outstanding.

Bruce said sarcastically: "You should learn how to coax women with tact, not self-defeating, Iron Man."

"There's no girl who doesn't like hearing me talk, Batman."

Ma Linglong patted Stark's chest, slightly venting her dissatisfaction, "What did you find?"

Under the leadership of Stark, Ma Linglong walked to the workbench, and the three-dimensional projection cameras in all directions immediately sensed Stark's gesture commands, and they presented the picture on the workbench in a three-dimensional manner, and the blue light and shadow images slowly Changing, showing everything about the Mandarin.

"Your Batcave must not have such a thing." Stark said to Bruce, "Have you considered upgrading your equipment? I can provide technical support. I heard that your butler is almost 70 years old. You don't plan to Let the poor old man retire, I guess you should consider changing to a smart housekeeper."

"Thank you for your kindness," Bruce said without emotion. "I don't think there's anything Jarvis can do to make you a sandwich."

Ma Linglong noticed that the Mandarin claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan, and it was difficult for her to verify whether the mandarin's rhetoric was true through the computer screen.

"He uses South American rebel attack tactics, talks like a Puritan priest, and likes to make a show." Stark said to the pictures, "He has an oriental face and claims to be a descendant of a Chinese emperor. His style of acting is quite high-profile, so Bruce and I suspect that his childhood was spent in war, and based on his age, it is very likely that it was a modern war.” [Note]

"And the scene of the crime where the bomb/shell casing cannot be found." Bruce shook his finger, and the screen immediately turned into a news screen of the explosion. He used Stark's smart housekeeper with ease, "The temperature of the explosion exceeded 3000 degrees Celsius Anything within 12 and a half yards will evaporate immediately, this is not an ordinary bomb/bomb, and it is not a bomb/bomb that ordinary people can get." He looked at Stark.

"Don't look at me, Bat," Stark said, "as if you don't invent weapons."

Ma Linglong is not a military expert, let alone a criminal investigation expert. She is only good at magic, so it is difficult to give the two men substantial help in this matter.Ma Linglong's expression was in a trance for a moment, until Stark put his arms around her shoulders and kissed the girl on the face.

"What's wrong?" Stark asked.

Ma Linglong glanced at Bruce, thought for a while, and then said to Stark: "It's been a week, and they haven't come out of it yet."

Stark's expression changed suddenly: "This is not very good."

The author has something to say: [Seal Commando]: One of the top ten special forces in the world. "SEAL" (SEAL) is an alias for the U.S. Army's amphibious commando. SEAL means Sea (sea), Air (air), and Land (land).

[Puritans]: Refers to reformers who demand to eliminate the remnants of Catholicism in the Anglican Church.

Recently, the author is a bit exhausted. I don’t know whether I should continue to update. It’s really contradictory. On the one hand, I don’t want to disappoint the readers who are chasing the article. There are still a lot of brain holes, and I don't know if I should continue writing, or cut off the plot and end it quickly.Because some readers responded too slowly before, I have cut off a lot of details, and the updated content is actually originally two chapters.

I am really sorry for bringing negative energy to everyone, because it is really uncomfortable... If there is no update for a certain day, it is probably because the author no longer knows how to write. I think my article may be really ugly...
