The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Ma Linglong walked to the garage, there was no security guard to stop her, she just asked the girl if she needed help.Ma Linglong shook her head, expressing that she wanted to be alone and hoped that no one would disturb her.

In fact, the car keys were not with her, but such a small trouble could not bring down a witch. Ma Linglong released interference magic at the surrounding surveillance cameras, and then used Apparition to get into the car.She searched on the ground for a while, but couldn't find the laptop put away by Bruce. She took the wand and said "the computer appeared", and a hidden slot opened under the chair in the back row, and the computer flew to her before.

Ma Linglong wanted to start the computer, but found that there was no power button at all. There was a glass (supposed to be tempered glass) transparent sheet in the center of the keyboard. She tried to put her hand on it, and the computer issued a prompt sound saying that the password was wrong.It looks like fingerprint verification, Ma Linglong thought, she tried many unlocking spells, but they couldn't activate it.She put away her wand not at all unexpectedly, the original unlocking spell was only for the physical door bolt, as for the encrypted electronic products, she couldn't think of a new spell for the time being.

"Sir, you cannot come here."

The security guard's voice caught Ma Linglong's attention.

"Sorry, I'm a little, a little lost."

It's Clark Kent! ?

Ma Linglong looked out through the car window. Clark was standing not far from the extended Lincoln with his briefcase slanted across. He was pulled down by the security guards.This is a special parking area, and Clark certainly doesn't have a parking card for that area.

Ma Linglong quickly restored the computer to its original state, let it return to its previous position, and then used Apparition to appear at the entrance and exit.She looked back, and Clark had noticed her. She swiped the parking card, and walked away quickly in the direction she came from with her skirt in hand.

She returned to the exhibition site, walked towards the elevator pretending to be calm, and pressed the button on the other side of the high-level VIP building.Ma Linglong can go to any floor of this hotel, and she can stay in the most expensive room for one night. She is Bruce Wayne's personal secretary. The parking card in Ma Linglong's hand makes her unimpeded, It is absolutely impossible for Clark to come up.

The elevator goes directly to the rooftop on the top floor. It is said to be a rooftop, but it is actually an open-air cafe for VIP guests to entertain, surrounded by tables and chairs full of sentimental feelings.Because the hotel was contracted by Bruce, there were no guests, not even a barista. Fortunately, the lights were all on, and the whole atmosphere was lonely and peaceful.

Ma Linglong chose a table for two, she pulled the chair away, and was about to sit down, but she vaguely saw the shadow of the Stark Tower through the building gap opposite, which is the most eye-catching building in the center of New York, with a unique architectural style .

stark.

Ma Linglong recited the name silently in her heart. How would the owner of the name know? To her, the surname is far more formal and meaningful than Tony. It's not impossible to call him Tony, if he insists on doing so in the future.But there are many people named Tony in the United States, and he is the only one named Stark.

Ma Linglong looked down at the time, she remembered that Bruce said that the auction would end at about ten o'clock, and there was still about an hour before the end.Bruce didn't call or send her a message to urge her to go back, which is of course very good, Ma Linglong doesn't like to be alone, but she doesn't like to act on the occasion, she would rather sit here and admire that beautiful building.

She is not sure if it makes sense for her to do this for Stark. She has disclosed the key information to the person involved. Stark can go to the Wayne Group by himself. That is his business, and he has enough resources to do these things. .But Stark didn't care about the good thing at all, as if he didn't take the possible dangers to heart. He locked himself in the studio all day to invent, and didn't have any extra thoughts to think about whether the kidnapping that almost killed him was possible. Conspiracy is mixed in there.

Otherwise, why did Ma Linglong stay in this place and think about others?

Hey wait, she didn't!Stark's sarcastic humor is a phone call away, and she doesn't need to be staring at the building, she's not here to be lonely.

An extremely powerful air flow swept in, accompanied by a spiritual force field that Ma Linglong could not ignore, like a storm that suddenly gathered in the clouds and stirred up thunder and lightning, it made her hard to breathe, and Ma Linglong's heart sank. Going down, she subconsciously reacted defensively, took out her wand and pointed it forward, and turned her body to the direction of the force.

The red cloak fluttered in the wind, and Superman stood in mid-air overlooking the vigilant girl. He stared at her for a long time, and then slowly descended.

Superman stood silently about twenty feet away from Ma Linglong, which was a relatively safe line of defense for both sides. Superman's blue eyes were full of confusion, showing no hostility, but did not send a signal of peace.

The same is true for Ma Linglong. Superman doesn't move, and she doesn't move, but she can hit the opponent's vitals at this distance at any time.

Clark encountered a similar phenomenon when he was not Superman. He thought he could hear the voices of every earthling, and at the same time see them through at a glance, just like Superman saw through Bruce Wayne under the bat coat.

But the fact is not entirely the case. A long time ago, Clark worked as a mountain guide for several years. He and a group of expeditions experienced landslides, but he failed to save all of them.Clark missed one, because he couldn't hear or see exactly where the unfortunate climber was trapped, as if there was a barrier blocking Clark's psychic penetration.When he finally found that omission, the other party had been dead for two days, and Clark felt guilty.

In fact, the man was not dead, he was a wizard, mixed in with the expedition team to do Muggle research, and deliberately disguised himself as a corpse.

Until Clark encountered the same situation as before again, he thought he should figure out this phenomenon. There are still many unsolved mysteries on the earth, and even Superman has no way of knowing the answers.

"What are you?" Superman asked, his expression calm, the breeze blowing through his hair and his steely body.

The uniform from Krypton has been improved by Bruce's biotechnology, and now Superman no longer needs to worry about being photographed by the media to cause a sensation, and he doesn't have to watch Louise frowning and biting the penholder, writing an article titled "Resurrection of Superman" reports.His shirt is implanted with special materials, which can interfere with radar scanning and turn into a white light in front of the camera to prevent the photographer's shutter from catching.

Bruce had suggested that since he didn't want to be in the public eye, he shouldn't be wearing the S shirt, but Clark felt that if he changed into something else and flew around in the sky, it might cause more panic.

After all, the majority of people believe in Superman.

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Clark asked another way: "Are you from Earth?" If the other party answered yes, he should feel a little relieved. Superman was already speculating that Ma Linglong might be something from the opposite side of Krypton. planet, so Kal-El, a Kryptonian, couldn't see through it. 【Superman's real name】

With the tip of Ma Linglong's wand still pointing at Superman, she looked him over from head to toe.

Clark Kent?

Ma Linglong saw through Superman's true identity almost at the first glance. Even though the man in front of her was tall and stalwart, he was completely different from the humility and politeness of the little reporter before: "Are you Superman?" She knew Superman. Xia is much more famous. She remembers seeing reports about him on TV on the first day she came to study in the United States. During that period, people always expected to see the red cape whizzing by as soon as they looked up.

This was the first time Ma Linglong saw the real Superman.

"Yeah, that's what they call me," said Superman, who was much gentler now than he appeared on TV. "What about you?"

Now that Ma Linglong knew the origin of the other party, her nervousness naturally eased: "I am from Earth." She thought for a while, and said, "Aren't you dead?"

Superman responded: "I have died many times." He took a step closer, "You are different from many people on Earth. What are you?"

"I'm not obligated to tell you."

"Of course." Superman responded with his soft voice, "Why are you approaching Bruce Wayne?"

Ma Linglong was not at all curious about Superman's resurrection process, it was always a problem in the Muggle world, although he himself was not in the Muggle category.In fact, she doesn't like Superman at all. It's not that the other party's behavior makes her feel resistant, but that the spiritual force field released from Superman's body is too strong.

"Because I need a job." Ma Linglong said, and then added, "And Bruce Wayne needs a secretary." An impeccable answer, but Ma Linglong knew that Superman would never believe it.

Superman usually only appears at the crime scene. He is the number one nemesis of criminals, but the incarnation of justice comes before Ma Linglong. This is not something to be happy about.

A few minutes ago, she thought that Clark Kent would not be able to make it to the rooftop.

"Today's auction was co-planned by Bruce Wayne and Batman." Superman said, he was trying to be friendly and make the girl let down her guard, "In order to lure out the criminal gangs that sell fake antiques, you just watched at the venue More than half of the exhibits that arrived were fake."

"What does this have to do with me? Do you think I'm the one who sells fakes?" Hearing what Superman said, Ma Linglong was a little surprised. Bruce Wayne spent nearly a billion dollars to auction those antiques. use.

"I know you are not." Superman replied affirmatively, "I just want to express that Bruce Wayne is not like the media said, he is a scum of Gotham, if you are here to investigate him."

"What I want to do is my business. If you want to help him deal with me, I will deal with you too." It's one thing to know that Superman is a superhero, but it's another to disturb Ma Linglong's plan. What kind of person Wayne is, she believes that the Wayne Group must be related to Stark's kidnapping, and such a connection is likely to be hidden in the entire Wayne Building.

Maybe it's in that computer.

She wanted to find out because Stark didn't give a damn.

"What are you going to do with me?" Superman's mouth curled into a smile that made him look imposing and impeccably handsome.

"Clark Kent." Ma Linglong said.

"You want to attack my friend?" Superman frowned slightly, "He's just a little reporter, you don't need to embarrass the civilians living at the bottom."

"I have a way to make everyone believe that Superman is back, and that Superman is that little reporter." Of course, Ma Linglong couldn't really do this. If she caused magic to accidentally injure Muggles in order to frame Clark or Superman, she would be punished The consequences are very serious. She will be classified as a black wizard. It is common sense for all wizards that she will not touch the bottom line of criminal responsibility if she does not follow the rules.

But Superman doesn't know the rules of the wizarding world, doesn't he, intimidate him, have fun, or let him attack first.

The law says you can't use magic against Muggles for any reason, but it doesn't say you can't use magic against Supermen.

He is not angry, Superman will only be angry when his lover and relatives encounter misfortune, the rest of the time, even if he is a superman, he is like a good gentleman: "I believe you can do it, although I don't know you are What, this also means that you will not do extreme things to Bruce Wayne, because you could have done so." He admitted in disguise that he is Clark Kent, "Could it be that you approach him because you like him? "

Superman hopes so.

"You can go." Ma Linglong said, "I'm not interested in your identity or your deeds, as long as you don't interfere with my actions, I will pretend that I have never seen you, and vice versa. pass me."

It doesn't look like, unfortunately, Superman thought.

"Thank you," he said. "What are you holding in your hand, your weapon?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Ma Linglong held the wand in her palm and moved the tip away.

Superman has an unrivaled keen vision, which includes his ability to catch every subtle change in the other person's expression with his eyes. Even if Ma Linglong avoids answering, Superman still gets the answer he wants.That was a weapon, but it was a very strange weapon, a stick covered with beautiful patterns, what could she shoot out of it?

"If you're looking for something around Bruce Wayne, I can help you," said Superman, continuing to send out friendly messages.

Ma Linglong thought for a while: "What is your relationship?"

"Friend." Superman thought for a moment.

"let it go."

"It has something to do with him?" Superman doesn't doubt that Bruce may secretly engage in some black technology without letting himself know. After all, he is the kind of night warrior who will carry kryptonite powder with him, but Superman is sure that any of Bruce's actions should not be with him. Equating crime, even if he abused lynching when fighting crime, "maybe there is a misunderstanding in it."【Note】

"You're very interesting." Ma Linglong has dealt with many people. A messenger of justice like Superman is the type she least likes to get close to. She seems to have a natural aversion to "absolute justice", which she will never achieve. Shan Feng: "You actually completely believe what I say?"

"A few months ago, Tony Stark was kidnapped. You were with him, right?"

"you saw it?"

"I didn't see anything." Superman said with a regretful expression, "I was going to save him. The newspapers and TV were all news about Tony Stark's death, but I couldn't hear his voice. I circled Afghanistan several times and went to every corner where I thought there was a possibility that Stark might be. I've always had the feeling that I'm facing you right now, even though I can see you and hear you You talk, but if I stay away from you, I can't hear any voices around you, so I can't find Tony Stark either."

Ma Linglong didn't know about Superman, let alone that he had super hearing, so she looked at him in confusion and said, "You are not the only one who is different on this earth, there are many special races that have been forgotten by humans." She is proud Lift your chin up.

"I'm also glad I'm not." Superman never wanted to be the only one out of place with humans, "I won't tell Bruce Wayne that I met you, but I have to tell Batman." Superman slyly hooked The corners of his lips curled up, "Batman won't embarrass you, he is a reasonable person, if Bruce Wayne really did something he shouldn't, he will come out immediately to stop his friends from committing crimes."

Not to be outdone, Ma Linglong pointed out: "Then please tell Batman by the way that Stark's kidnapping is related to the Wayne Group."

"Is there any evidence?"

"I'm looking."

Bruce seemed to be in a good mood. Even though his arm was bruised and bleeding a little, and his expensive suit shirt was left with a tear that couldn't be mended, Ma Linglong could feel his happiness.Maybe it was Bruce who managed the gang that auctioned the fakes. Obviously Bruce and Batman's plan was successfully implemented. When he left the venue just now, Ma Linglong saw a large number of policemen escorting the prisoners into the police cars. They should be them. They were beaten by Batman. The cheeks of the unlucky bastards who had no power to fight back were swollen from the beating.

"Where did you go?" Bruce took a sip of champagne, "I've been looking for you everywhere, but your phone has been disconnected."

"You can deduct my salary." Ma Linglong stared at the feasting lights outside the car window, and replied calmly, "I was blowing air on the roof of the top floor just now, maybe there is no signal there."

"Are you in a bad mood?" It's a blessing to be Bruce Wayne's secretary. He treats his subordinates sincerely, if you can guarantee that you don't fall in love with him.

After Bruce knew that Ma Linglong was close to his goal, he became very calm. Superman's words are worthy of trust, and people who Superman believes should not be regarded as objects of suspicion.Bruce didn't intend to expose Ma Linglong's intentions, he also wanted to find out who was secretly doing business with Stark Industries.Ever since Stark released his pigeons, Bruce has made up his mind that he will never have anything to do with Stark Industries in his life, but apparently someone is using the name of Wayne Group to do private work behind the back of the CEO, and he guesses it should be It was someone who took advantage of him when he was not in the mood to take care of the company, and he had to find out this person.

And his private secretary should be able to help him.

"I don't like dealing with reporters." Ma Linglong said.

"It seems that Clark Kent harassed you in order to dig out my gossip?" Bruce laughed inwardly, "I can file a complaint against him for you." Complaining against Superman, he was pointed at the nose by the editor and yelled at, thinking It's interesting to think about it.

"Mr. Wayne, where are we going now?" Ma Linglong changed the subject, "If you go back to Gotham by car, you won't have to go to work tomorrow."

"I don't have to go to work tomorrow, and we made a big deal tonight, and it's worth taking a day off to celebrate." Bruce said, raising his injured arm, "If it wasn't because of my injury, I think I would I'll take you to the most unique bar in New York for a drink." So far, Ma Linglong has not cared about the boss's injury, which may be the reason why Bruce raised his arm suddenly to remind her.

Ma Linglong knew the reason why he wanted to celebrate, but she had to pretend not to know, she knew better the source of Bruce's injury, which should be left after a fight with the counterfeiting gang: "Then the morning after tomorrow, I hope you will allow me Take another half day off."

"No problem." Bruce said, slightly disappointed that the other party didn't care about his arm, "Don't you want to know what your boss bought today?"

"It's written in the contract, don't meddle in the superior's private affairs."

"Okay." Bruce hated the strict employee contract. He raised his glass and motioned Ma Linglong to raise the one in front of her, "Then, let's drink for your dedication."

The Bat Cave, Bruce Wayne's underground intelligence center, he and his most trusted old butler Alfred personally transformed the cave below Wayne's mansion into a high-tech crypt for the two of them only.Bruce named everything here after a bat.

For example, the bat computer. This large-screen LCD computer is connected to the police radio signal and all mainstream news sources. He can learn about current events immediately, and the system will automatically filter the available parts for him.

Bruce failed to find out exactly what Ma Linglong was doing. He sent people to the families and individuals who had been in contact with the girl, trying to get something out of them, but he didn't get the desired feedback.

They all only asked the person who came to investigate, "Does the house need to be cleaned?", like a unified caliber.

What is this, a connection code?

And when his people answer that they need to be cleaned, the other party will continue to ask what they want to clean.

Bruce understood that this was the code, and only those who really knew the answer could give the answer to the question. He tried many ways but failed to guess what the code was.

Bruce knows all the slang words. He has been in the darkest place in Gotham all year round, but at this time he met his opponent.

However, there were no criminals or even criminal records among the objects he investigated. Most of them were ordinary businessmen or educators, etc., with wealthy families and ordinary working-class people. It was hard for Bruce to imagine what had happened between those people and Ma Linglong. Such a shady transaction that he dared not reveal even the slightest clues that could be analyzed.

"Master Bruce, I think I need to remind you that you have been looking at this young lady's photo for three hours. The last time you did this, you were facing Catwoman." Alfred said with a sly "My suggestion is that you should invite her to dinner, watch a movie, have a romantic dinner, and then go to the double bed in the glass villa by the lake to look into the future. Then you can know everything about her, just like before, Do something practical, you can't get a girl just by looking at it with your eyes." [Note]

"This lady is not so easy to date." Bruce shared everything with Alfred, Bruce knew it, and the old housekeeper also knew it very well, "She is very indifferent and only talks about work with me."

Bruce's life has experienced many intrigues and plots, and the enemies who want him to die have never stopped. He still remembers the crisis scene when a female killer sneaked into his lakeside villa to assassinate him.However, Bruce used his charm and intelligence to win the favor of the other party. The girl was so cold and ruthless, but Bruce finally conquered her.In the end, the girl didn't even want her life for him.

"With all due respect." Alfred has always been rude to Bruce, "with all due respect" is almost a common language he communicates with Bruce, "You like this kind of cold girl, it seems that you are ready to treat her On the offensive."

"Go on the offensive? No." Bruce vetoed, "I'm just curious about her identity, Alfred, I've been working with her for a week before I became interested in her, which is enough to prove that her charm is almost zero, she is very boring , is boring beyond your imagination."

The author has something to say: [Kryptonite powder]: I read it in the comics, the master added kryptonite powder to the bat suit to weaken Superman's power.
