The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Chapter 78 The Illusion in Consciousness

Not all wizards can see hidden ghosts, and that's a talent, unless they want you to see or by learning some kind of spirit-seeing skill.Mike can't see ghosts in the Muggle world, but he can perceive them, and Mike perceives them through the energy generated by subtle fluctuations in the air.

He was sure that Ma Linglong must have seen a ghost just now, or something related to a ghost.

"Does this mean." Fury asked, "Captain America's inability to wake up is related to ghosts?"

"I don't know, I have no research on ghosts." Mike thought for a while, "But this possibility is not impossible."

In fact, Mike never took the initiative to approach Ma Linglong, he was just doing his job, until Ma Linglong appeared in his studio and bought him several spells for manipulating computers and mobile phones.Mike really admired her, even though he himself was quite good, at that time he felt a sense of accomplishment for being able to help Ma Linglong.He didn't monitor her deliberately, who called Mike a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., an order issued by Nick Fury himself, and it happened that he was very interested in her.

"I think she should be able to succeed." Mike said, he knew her, and through his own observation and several years of investigation, Mike felt that his only mistake was playing tricks in front of Ma Linglong, "She has never failed. "

"The Winter Soldier never failed, before he met Stark." Fury fell into a short thought. Besides Ma Linglong, he had also found others, and Ma Linglong was not the only psychic in the United States.

The reason why Fury avoids looking for her as much as possible is that he knows what kind of conditions the girl will ask, and if he is not desperate, he will not choose to bear the trouble caused by agreeing to the conditions.Fury hated dealing with wizards, and despite his assertive, domineering side, he did have the ability to earn the basic trust of the majestic bunch.But to persuade them to allow Ma Linglong to use magic anytime and anywhere without being interfered, Fu Rui felt a kind of tragic disaster just thinking about it.

When he found that Captain America could not be awakened by equipment, the agent leader had already considered the soul. Steve was breathing, his heart was beating, and his brain was functioning as usual. The only possibility was to lose his soul.He is not a wizard or a psychic, but it does not mean that he has not been exposed to similar supernatural phenomena.Fury consulted several professional psychics (exorcists) for his deduction, and he involved them in his recovery plan, but each of them ended in failure.

They entered Captain America's consciousness and tried to bring him back to reality, but they were expelled without exception.

Nick Fury is not surprised that Captain America can do it. He has very powerful power, whether it is physical or mental.

In the end, he had to choose Ma Linglong. Fury had already made sufficient preparations, so no matter what kind of extreme behavior Ma Linglong did at that time, he would not be surprised.

"She won't fail." Mike said, he knew that Ma Linglong would take down Captain America at all costs, no matter what method was used, despicable or just letting the flow go, "In order to achieve her goal, she is willing to do anything .”

"Sounds scary?" Fury didn't really show any fear.

"Yes, if you are targeted by her."

Steve set up the tent at the bottom of a cliff, except for the unavoidable cold temperature, at least there is no biting cold wind in this place.There is no bed in the tent, and soldiers on missions usually have no way to lie on the bed to sleep. A thin sheet is spread on the cold ground as a substitute for a bed, and adding a blanket that is impossible to keep out the cold is considered special treatment. He usually Will give it to warriors who need it more than themselves.

The heat that the serum provides to his body.Enough for him to withstand such severe cold.

Steve handed the blanket to Ma Linglong, and he started to make coffee, and the heat raised the temperature inside the tent a bit.

There are not too many furnishings in the tent. Most of them are daily necessities for soldiers. Everything is listed in a neat and orderly manner. Most of them are covered with compressed food to supplement physical strength.Steve imagined that the area of ​​the tent is not too narrow, at least it won't be crowded when an outsider comes in, and there is no peculiar smell.

"Drink a little, it will be warmer." He filled a military cup with a black drink and handed it to Ma Linglong. The coffee was very fragrant, although it was not particularly good coffee. "Do you want to add sugar?"

"Three." This is Stark's habit, and now it's Ma Linglong's, "Is there no wine?"

"I don't drink." Steve stirred it with a metal spoon, "Not now." He tried to numb himself with alcohol, hoping to temporarily forget the fact that his comrades fell to their deaths, but the side effects of the super serum made him become A poor man who never gets drunk, and Steve hasn't touched a drink since.

Ma Linglong took the cup, and when her hands touched the warmth, she let out a long breath: "In other words, you know exactly where you are now, don't you?" Even if she knew it was only Steve Imagined, but staying here as a consciousness, everything around her can cause real harm to her.

Such a reaction would directly affect Ma Linglong's main body, and she guessed that her body must be shaking from the cold.

"Yes." Steve took off his hood, and his short blond hair was messy on top of his head. Steve tossed it casually. This action made him look like a male model for a photo shoot, "After drinking Coffee, you'd better get out of my consciousness, the air here is thin, and the extremely cold temperature will make you unbearable."

"Who are those people?" It was the first time Ma Linglong encountered a situation where she fully understood her situation but still remained in consciousness, which meant that the bodybuilding coach in front of her (Steve's tights and muscles made Ma Ling Long secretly gave him this nickname, so that Stark later called him every time he had a conflict with Steve) Has a higher-than-average willpower.

"People who are about the same status as you." Steve said, "They call themselves exorcists, and some call themselves psychics."

Ma Linglong immediately understood that S.H.I.E.L.D. had found someone else before they found her, and they found out that Steve's coma had another reason from the very beginning.Apparently those guys failed, so S.H.I.E.L.D. had to spend a lot of money and agree to the unreasonable terms she proposed.

"Would you like to tell me more?" Ma Linglong knew that Captain America was difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect that the actual situation was more troublesome than she expected.Instead of being trapped in his own consciousness, he doesn't want to come out at all, and he knows everything around him like the back of his hand.

Steve was not lost at all, he was even very sober, and he knew Ma Linglong's identity very well, so he would never be easily influenced by the girl's agitation.Steve was very careful with her, trying not to touch her body, because as long as he came into contact with Ma Linglong's body, Steve might be forcibly brought out of consciousness.

Ma Linglong didn't need to think about it, it must be those low-class guys who did this to Steve before, which caused him to be wary of Ma Linglong from the very beginning.And in the conscious world of Captain America, it is really stupid to be hard on him.

She was very glad that Captain America didn't close his brain and was willing to chat with her calmly.

Ma Linglong guessed that Steve must know how to throw the trespasser out of his consciousness, it would be easy for him, as long as Steve swung his shield and knocked Ma Linglong's head down, or pushed her back cliff.What did Howard say? He is a person who is easy to communicate with. Ma Linglong is really happy that Howard's judgment is so accurate.

"What are you going to do here, maybe I can help you." Ma Linglong said.

Captain America doesn't look like a pessimist, let alone a person who creates a beautiful illusion for himself to escape reality, otherwise he shouldn't stay in the extreme cold of the world of ice and snow.

Only by finding the key can he be successfully taken away from this place. Since the other party put away their hostility, Ma Linglong has already started to think of a way.

He said where is this place, Siberia, Russia?Why did he choose such a specific place, as if he was looking for something, what could he find in his own consciousness?

"You don't look like those people." Steve leaned against an old desk with several sketchbooks on it, "They just want to get me out of here without asking me Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm different. I'm a professional." Ma Linglong thought for a while and said, "But first, you have to give me some clothes suitable for living here."

"You see, my tent only has a few things, no extra clothes." Steve's face was tense, he may not be trying to show majesty, but facing a person who hinders his plan at any time, even a woman , it was also difficult for him to be happy, "You'd better leave quickly."

"You can think about it." Ma Linglong took a sip of the coffee, it tasted good, she nodded with satisfaction, and it would be even better if there was another cheese roll, "I know you can, it mainly depends on whether you want to do it or not, I'm going to take you back, so unless you want to watch me freeze to death here." She knew Captain America didn't fight with iron fists, even though his fists were harder than Batman's, he was only right The Nazis come out.

Ma Linglong will know all the information about the person involved before undertaking the task. Captain America is well-known to everyone, and his information and legendary stories are more exciting than the movies.

Steve's figure was obviously paused: "You know me well?"

"In America, a lot of people know you."

"But I didn't do anything."

In the end, under the guidance of Ma Linglong, Captain America racked his brains and relied on his imagination to buy the girl a very warm coat, military boots, gloves and hats, etc.This is the treatment that those who tried to bring him back to the real world by brute force did not have before, because they did not treat Steve step by step like Ma Linglong, and they are not smart enough, it is very unwise to take strong measures against Captain America Behavior.

They may have forgotten that this is Steve's world, and they have to do as he says.

"How is it?" Steve asked, "Still cold?"

Ma Linglong looked down at her attire, and to be honest, she would rather wear it back to just now.

Very old-fashioned style.

"Who hired you to wake me up?" Steve may have sensed Ma Linglong's dislike, but he didn't care, at least the clothes could keep the girl from trembling when she spoke.

"Why, didn't the others tell you?"

"No, I asked them and they didn't say anything. Their mouths are harder than rocks."

Psychics are not negotiators, and when they confront Captain America, they treat him like a normal ghost.

"S.H.I.E.L.D." Ma Linglong paused, and Steve had a thoughtful expression on his face, "Strategic Science Corps, that was its former name."

"If they had told me earlier, I think, I would have chosen to talk to them." Steve knew what it was. Peggy Carter and Howard had planned. They always wanted to set up a special department for special events. In Steve's impression, the Strategic Science Corps was just an idea to be discussed, "Are you from S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"No, I'm just a psychic, the most professional psychic." Ma Linglong looked at him and said, "What are you looking for?"

Steve showed a slightly surprised expression: "How do you know I'm looking for something?"

"Like I said, I'm a professional psychic. I can help you. I'm good at finding things." Ma Linglong quickly got to the point, "I think you don't want your body to be half-naked all the time and be seen by others every day." Let's watch it?" As long as he fulfills his wish, he and the ghost who still cares about the world can finally rest in peace.

Steve is the same, he is a fighter, he will not submit to exist only in the conscious world, and he certainly does not want his physical body to lie somewhere naked for people to admire.

"Don't worry, they kept your underwear for you." Ma Linglong continued to prod him, "Unfortunately, they can't give you a blanket, you have needle holes all over your body, in order to ensure that your body is fully nourished .”

"They shouldn't have dug me out of the bottom of the ocean."

"It's a bit unreasonable for you to say that. There are still people who care about you." Ma Linglong said, even after 70 years, Stark Industries has never stopped salvaging Captain America. After Howard's death, the search for funds Stark continued to provide, "Peggy Carter, you must not know, she is still alive."

Suddenly, the entire space distorted, but soon returned to calm.

"You were shaken just now." Ma Linglong said, "This shows that you still want to return to reality, why don't we move on to the next step quickly."

"You're smart, ma'am," Steve said, and he frowned. "What's your name?" He knew that "Lillian" was just the other person's English name, and it was a meaningless code name to him.

"Linglong Ma." She said, "You can call me Linglong."

Steve's expression was a bit dignified, but the guard in his eyes gradually faded away, but Captain America's menacing aura still remained, and he seemed to be having a hard time uttering the next words: "James Barnes." He said, "I'm in find him."

James Barnes, Steve used to call him Bucky, so he couldn't help substituting "Bucky" for "James" several times during his narration.

He was the best friend of Captain America during World War II, not just a comrade-in-arms relationship, they lived together and supported each other since they were young, or Bucky took care of him more.The two later met on the battlefield, and Bucky became Captain America's deputy. Except for the lack of serum blessings, Bucky was also brave and good at fighting. During an operation to chase the Red Skull, Bucky fell from a moving train into a cliff. There was no news.

Of course, Steve understood that it was impossible for Bucky to be alive. No one could have survived a fall from such a high place, not to mention that the environment was so harsh at the time, unless it was Captain America, there might be a chance of survival.

Finding someone in his own consciousness sounds ridiculous, but in fact, Steve is not a soldier who acts blindly without a plan.He has always been unable to let go of Bucky's death. He wants to find him, even if it is a corpse. If there were no wild animals around Bucky after he fell, such as bears or wolves, his body should be preserved intact.But the government back then would not spend extra energy on an ordinary soldier. Although Baki has done many assassinations for the government that still seem shocking to the world, for the country, 1 Baki is not as good as an American team leader.

Moreover, in that turbulent era, wasting manpower to find wounded soldiers was not in line with the war situation.

Steve completely lost consciousness shortly after flying a fighter jet into Beibinyang. Every cell in his body was frozen to death, but his brain was still active.He gradually brought himself into consciousness, forming a world he knew well.

At first, Steve didn't think he was dead, or that he was saved, so to speak.He also attended the ball invitation with Peggy Carter on time, and he and his first love danced one after another, tirelessly.

After an unknown period of time, he noticed something strange. Steve noticed that everything around him kept repeating the same movements. Peggy only had a few words when he came and went. More importantly, he saw the wall clock on the wall. It stayed at eight o'clock.Then, when Steve realized that it was all fake, the space twisted, and he came to Brooklyn again, the place full of childhood memories that he always wanted to return to. 【Note】

Steve thought that he might have been psychedelic by Hydra, but he still chose to run to Bucky's house as soon as possible, thinking that he could see the brother he had been indebted to there.In the end, there was nothing, Steve was alone on the whole street, he wandered helplessly in a familiar place, time seemed to stop, there was no darkness, and he didn't feel tired or hungry.

After an unknown amount of time, Steve passed by a clothing store. He suddenly wanted to change his uniform, so he took a fancy to the tops and bottoms worn by the models in the window, and wondered whether he should pay for it or not.The fashion he could only think about before, but he couldn't afford in his life, replaced his uniform.

Steve looked around in astonishment, afraid of being regarded as a thief. After all, as Captain America, it would be embarrassing to be caught stealing in the street, not to mention that he didn't intend to steal.

A miracle happened. Many people suddenly appeared on the street, including familiar faces and strangers. They walked beside Steve or passed him by.No one regarded him as a thief, and no one paid attention to him, as if he was just an ordinary member among the crowd.The propaganda audio of the collapse of fascism and the victory of the United States was played on the radio. People suddenly smiled and began to gather towards the square in the city center.

Steve finally realized that this was his own world and the one he wanted.There is no Bucky in this world, because he clearly knows that Bucky has left him.

In the end, Steve trapped himself on the ice sheet of Siberia. He wanted to find Bucky's body. If possible, at least he could bring Bucky back to life through imagination. As long as his will is firm enough, I believe Bucky will be able to Come back to life, he can say sorry and thank you to him. 【Note】

But Steve didn't know what to do to find Bucky's body. He couldn't imagine where his body might be. He searched all the mountains in Siberia, and he climbed every cliff. He has a lot of time and energy to do this, but in the end he gets nothing.In fact, in Steve's conscious world, the time is far less than 70 years, a year or two at most.

"If you want to find Bucky's body, you have to restore the scene at that time." Ma Linglong told the truth without even thinking for half a second before she came up with an excellent solution, "Where did he meet?" Death, what happened to it, only in this way can you really find him."

Steve's defenses were completely relieved after hearing this sentence, his blue eyes were full of gratitude, and he blurted out the words of gratitude in a very formal voice without hesitation: "Thank you very much , Linglong." He pronounced Ma Linglong's name without any pause, the pronunciation was a bit strange but accurate, "I have never understood why Bucky is here, but I can't find it. "The man finally showed a little smile, that kind of smile was engraved on his handsome face, it was very beautiful, and it completely lacked the majesty that Captain America should have.

"You don't need to thank me, you are just my job." Ma Linglong doesn't like to hear customers thanking herself. She thinks that helping others is only for profit, and there is nothing to be thankful for. Accepting thanks will make her feel guilty when she collects money feel.

"How much did they pay you to wake me up?" Steve asked.

"One million." But the focus is not on money, as long as she successfully wakes up Steve, Ma Linglong can use the wand at will, and protecting Stark is the purpose of the girl's order.

"It seems that I'm worth a lot." Steve said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe they still keep the subsidy for me."

"You don't have to be too happy." Ma Linglong said, "Even if you find the corpse and wake him up, everything here is fake."

"I know." Steve said, "At least it can make up for my regret. I have a lot to say to him."

"I mean, when you wake up, everything here will become a dream you had, and you will forget all the experiences in the dream." Ma Linglong expressed without any sympathy, "Of course, maybe You remember one or two moments of it, you’ve dreamed it, you know what it feels like, it doesn’t give you any satisfaction.”

Ma Linglong's answer surprised Steve, and the uneasiness hidden in his blue pupils became clearer: "Can you make me remember?"

"You'll forget me too."

The author has something to say: [Eight o'clock sharp]: It was the time that Peggy and Mullard made an appointment at the end of Team 1.

[Siberia]: The movie doesn’t seem to say where Baji fell from. If the author has new information later, the place name will be changed without affecting viewing

In the dream, let Da Dun complete his regret. In fact, you can understand that when the captain is frozen, he must lose consciousness, but he is not dead, so he naturally becomes active in his own brain world, not escaping from reality.
