The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

When Bruce Wayne received the entrustment from James Gordon, it was three nights ago that Sergeant Gordon used the bat searchlight to call Batman for help. Dozens of missing girls were reported. He visited many places, but failed to get any clues. The unsolved missing cases had to remain in the unsolved case file cabinet of the police station.It wasn't until three months ago that someone found the body of one of the missing persons in the woods in the suburbs. The woman was naked, bruised, and had suffered severe abuse during her lifetime. Gordon connected the previous cases and found that this was not the case. Simple massacre.

In fact, Bruce didn't suspect this couple at all at first. They seemed to have nothing to do with the kidnappers. They had neither criminal record nor bad habits.But he has been paying attention to Ma Linglong's movements. When the girl makes a deal with anyone in Gotham, Bruce will immediately investigate the details of the other party.And Ma Linglong happened to meet them, so Bruce naturally came into contact with the family of the perverted murderer.

Once being followed by Batman, the truth will naturally come out.

Bruce noticed the suspicious behavior of the couple, compared their DNA, and immediately found that they were not the original owners at all. They were not only impostors, but also the real culprits of the serial disappearances.The real owner of the home was killed by two people long ago. They replaced them, colluded with the local police, used the information on the population list to quietly kidnap the target, and then brutally tortured him to death.

This is why Gordon has been unable to find out the truth of the disappearance case. Someone in the police station destroyed the evidence and deliberately spread false news to confuse the public.

Batman tied the host to a chair and tortured him to extract a confession. He wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of the kidnapped girl and how many scumbags in the Gotham Police Department were doing illegal things with them, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal a word .At this time, Ma Linglong came, and Batman hid quietly in the dark, observing the girl's every move.

It wasn't until Ma Linglong became interested in his bat dart that he stopped the other party's actions. Although Bruce was not sure whether Ma Linglong was related to the missing persons case, he didn't think that an outsider's fingerprints left on it would be misunderstood by the police. is a good thing.

Superman once said that Ma Linglong is different from ordinary humans. She has great power. If she really wants to do something earth-shattering and bad, she should do it very covertly. monitoring.

Because of this, Bruce decided to give the other party a chance to explain.

He never expected that he had assumed countless professions for the other party, but never considered the psychic.

"You are a psychic, but you don't seem to have a cross?" Batman was digging a hole, or to be precise, he was helping to dig up Olivia's bones in the garden.His strength is strong enough, and his stamina is also very good, so Ma Linglong can do nothing, "I apologize for my first faux pas."

He thought she was a prostitute, such a misunderstanding is a great insult to a lady, Ma Linglong complained about this in front of Bruce, Batman remembered, so he apologized.What's more, he is now completely sure of Ma Linglong's identity, he is not a gangster, and he does not do illegal transactions, while Batman only speaks ill to criminals.

"I'm not a Christian." Ma Linglong said.

Bruce chose to believe her story because Ma Linglong led him to find the burial place of the body and all the ironclad evidence that could accuse the couple of kidnapping and murder.Ma Linglong said that all of this was guided by the undead, and of course Bruce couldn't see the undead. In addition, he relied on instinct to judge that the other party had no possibility of lying.

He was always right, especially when it came to multiple-choice questions on women.

Ma Linglong knew that she had to tell the truth to Batman today in order to win his trust, so she announced her identity. Anyway, psychics are not a shady profession, they only have incredible room for imagination, and they are easy to be regarded by modern people as A fool or a psychopath.But the opponent is Batman, and he is not much better. Superheroes in strange costumes always laugh at other people's stupidity for no reason.

"Do you always dress like this at night?" Batman asked with great interest, "Don't you think the skirt is too short?"

"You better stop talking." Standing beside Batman, Ma Linglong couldn't help but said.

"For your safety."

Maybe Bruce Wayne wants to give Ma Linglong a good impression. Whether it is the boss or the bat, he hopes that the atmosphere between the two of them will be a little more relaxed and not so tense, otherwise it will look like they are collaborating to kill. The homeowner is disposing of the body.But Bruce's voice changer muffled Batman's voice like a death knell, so that no matter how friendly his tone was, it actually sounded like a death knell.

"The sound is ugly." Ma Linglong said.

Batman didn't make a sound anymore, not because of the comment about the sound, he dug up Olivia's bones, as well as a few severed fingers and a pair of feet, which were rotten in the mud and covered with maggots , but Bruce still recognized that it was a human foot, and the rancid stench immediately filled the air.

The knight threw away the shovel, ready to dig them out with bare hands.

"Just don't move." Ma Linglong stepped forward, "Someone wants to thank you."

Beneath Batman's mask was calmness and confusion. He pursed his thin lips and looked around with the night vision goggles. Apart from Ma Linglong, he couldn't see anyone else, not even a gopher.

"Her name is Olivia." Ma Linglong pointed to the bones lying in the mud, "She is your admirer. During the period of abuse, she firmly believed that you would come to save her. This belief made her persist until the last moment .”

Batman looked at Ma Linglong without saying a word, as if he was hit on the stomach by some heavy force, making him unable to utter a single word.He failed to save this young life, and he didn't even know who Olivia was, but the other party gave him such trust, and his remorse and unwillingness were hidden under the cover of the bat mask.

"Now, she needs your help." Ma Linglong said to herself, without waiting for Batman's response, "Olivia wants revenge, and she hopes you can kill that couple for her."

Ma Linglong is only responsible for conveying the last wishes of the dead, not her real thoughts, but to the knight, whose thoughts are no longer important: "No, Olivia." He said in a low voice, facing a Totally wrong direction.

"She's on your right." Ma Linglong pointed out the other party's mistake.

Batman changed direction and continued to say in a thick voice: "They deserve to die, and they should be executed immediately, but no matter what they do, it is not up to us to judge whether they deserve to die. I will send them to the Supreme Court with my own hands. The court, give justice to you and other girls who have suffered the same misfortune as you."

When the knight finished speaking, he felt a cold air passing through the specially made bulletproof leather jacket.

"Olivia, stop!" Ma Linglong stretched out her right hand, raised her index finger, and spun it counterclockwise in the direction of Batman. She expelled Olivia's spirit body from under the knight, The angry soul refilled the crystal bottle.

"She was attacking me just now?" Batman asked, looking at a little blue light in the clear bottle. "Is that Olivia's, soul?"

"Do you have fire on you?" Ma Linglong didn't answer the knight's question.

Olivia couldn't accept the fact that Batman refused to kill the murderer for her for the time being, so she slammed into Batman's body repeatedly in a rage, but it was really useless, except for making him feel a little cold.

Naturally, Ma Linglong could start a fire with a magic wand, but she didn't think Batman would let this discovery go, and then the Magic Congress would not let her go.

Batman provided the fire source, and when the fire burned out, Ma Linglong put Olivia's ashes into a square box, mixed with a little soil, and an unknown flower grown from her flesh and blood , and also put it inside.She said a spell over the urn, and the urn disappeared, heading for Olivia's parents' house.

"You surprised me." Ma Linglong said to Batman after doing the above actions.

"You stole my lines," Batman said. "How did you make it disappear?"

"Business secrets." Ma Linglong said, she was surprised because Batman didn't show any panic like seeing a monster from the beginning to the end.

Ma Linglong released the ghost from the bottle, and said to it: "Follow that box, and you will find the place where your parents live now, and you can enter their dreams and tell them what you have experienced .A week later, at midnight, the door of reincarnation will open in the happiest place you have ever been. If you can figure it out, go in. If you can’t figure it out, don’t come back to me. You are different from other ghosts, you betrayed yourself , so you can only stay in the human world for ten days at most, after that, you will gradually become one with the air, and even I will not be able to see you anymore."

In Batman's eyes, Ma Linglong was talking into the air, like some kind of schizophrenic behavior.

One minute later, Ma Linglong sent Olivia's soul away, and she said to Batman, "You don't kill people?"

"It's nothing strange." He said, his black pupils looked at the sky, as if Batman could also see the figure of the girl who regarded him as his savior, "Olivia, are you gone?"

"gone."

Ma Linglong led Batman to look for the entrance of the basement, where there were more corpses hidden. Of course, it could also be said the other way around, because Batman walked in front, and it seemed that he should be the leader of the knights.When they passed the host's room, the two could still hear his moaning in pain, but it was really not pitiful. They glanced into the room at the same time, and continued to move forward without any hesitation.

This was originally not Ma Linglong's plan, but she seemed to be willing to cooperate with Mr. Bat once, and her attitude towards him changed a little because of the phrase "the murderer should not be judged by us".Ma Linglong could even use this sentence to guess that Batman's age is definitely not a boy around 20 years old, he should be a little older, maybe forty or less.It shouldn't be more than fifty, his skill is very vigorous, but it's not impossible.

"You always work at night?" Batman broke the long silence.

"Ah."

"How much do you pay for a night?" This sentence was slightly ambiguous, and Batman immediately changed it, "I'm just curious about whether professional psychics can really make money. I've never met a real psychic."

"A real psychic won't want you to see this." Ma Linglong said.

"We can make a deal." This is what Bruce Wayne is best at. Negotiating business with partners, as long as it is profitable and does not violate the bottom line or the law, "You can hear the voice of the undead, and rely on the undead to find criminals." Evidence, maybe you'd like to give me clues to fight criminals." Batman does like to be alone, but Bruce is keen to find valuable partners.

"Unfortunately, there is no such business."

"I'll pay you."

"You can't afford it."

Bruce Wayne, a billionaire as famous as Tony Stark, this is the first time he heard someone say "you can't afford it" to him. The educated homeless pointing at Stephen Hawking's nose and calling him an idiot is ridiculous. 【Note】

"That's why I asked, how much do you pay for a night?"

The two found the door leading to the basement, which was actually a hidden compartment on the floor of a locker. Without Olivia's guidance, it would be difficult to find it.Unlocking the secret compartment was a not-so-long wooden ladder, and the two of them quickly reached the ground along the ladder.

The basement was very small and full of debris. When Batman took out a small searchlight to disperse the darkness in the house, they saw a strange pattern painted with red paint all over the room.Ma Linglong knew what those patterns were for, summoning demons, but she made a lot of mistakes, so they didn't summon the demons they wanted.

"It's blood." Batman knelt down and looked at the red paint before saying, "It's more likely to be human blood."

"No doubt yes."

"how do you know?"

"Business secrets." Ma Linglong moved away the wooden chair at her feet, she switched her phone to lighting mode, and projected white light onto a wall: "I know you have a very close relationship with Bruce Wayne, you should It is a source of income from him, but cooperating with a psychic will not bring you any benefits. If I say, I want your soul as a bargaining chip, will you give it to me?"

The knight looked into her eyes, but didn't give an answer immediately, the bat was thinking.

"There are more than twenty corpses behind that wall." Ma Linglong said, "There may be more, I don't know very well, you have to dig them out, you should have a convenient tool to provide, right?"

"Me?" Batman said, "Not us?"

"Do you think I look like I'm doing this with a shovel?" Ma Linglong said with squinted eyes, "After all, my skirt is so short."

Batman was silent for a while, not thinking about the length of the girl's skirt: "If my soul can be exchanged for peace in Gotham, I don't mind exchanging it with you."

Ma Linglong was startled for a moment, then turned to look up at the man beside him. He was tall and fierce, like a bat in battle, capable of killing people.He was pitch-black, terrifying criminals more than death, but there was no shadow behind him, and he shone brightly in the dark night: "You've never killed anyone, have you?"

"I haven't killed it with my own hands." The bat replied truthfully, "Is this one of the prices for exchanging souls? I have to kill with my own hands?"

"Thinking too much." Ma Linglong sighed, even Stark's wayward guy didn't make Ma Linglong sigh, but Batman did it, "I'm very busy, I don't have time to develop new business, yours Leave the soul to God."

"You mean, I can go to heaven after I die?" Batman grasped the point immediately, he thought he belonged to hell, this news surprised him.

However, even if there is a brief distraction, Batman's mind is already planning how to help the girl start a new business, which is Bruce's strong point.

"Hurry up." Ma Linglong shook the bat's eyes with the flashlight, "If you want to go to heaven after death."

They spent several hours digging the thick mud wall blocked by lime. When all the lime was pushed away, Ma Linglong heard louder cries, and the shrill and painful voice filled the narrow space. basement.The kidnapped girls were all sealed in the wall, poured together with concrete, and the twisted and folded torsos and heads covered the entire wall.

Even Batman, who was used to killing, felt extreme discomfort and clenched his fists. He regretted not letting that man suffer more.Batman saw clearly through the night vision goggles that the expression on Ma Linglong's face changed rapidly, from shock to anger, and then to anger. She seemed to be the kind of girl who didn't show much emotion.Batman thought, even when she was on the verge of going berserk, the girl was only slightly changing her eyes.

Ma Linglong couldn't understand why humans could do such inhumane acts to their compatriots. I'm afraid even the devil would feel ashamed. She thought of the wizard war ten years ago, and it was the same scene. Ma Linglong stood with her There is nothing to do in front of the corpses of fellow students studying abroad.

She was breathing quickly, trying to adjust her grief and indignation.

"This is a big project." Batman said, he was no more emotionally stable than Ma Linglong, the murderer was upstairs, and he really put bat darts into their heads immediately, "It has to be handed over to the police."

The bodies of the girls were embedded in the concrete wall. Without professional tools and a lot of manpower, Batman alone was far from enough.

Ma Linglong let out a breath from his mouth and said, "Are you afraid?"

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you."

Before Ma Linglong's eyes were the souls of the girls, they were floating in the air, weeping and telling each other what happened to them, they were so innocent, they had never done anything bad before, but they died tragically in the hands of strangers. At home, the soul cannot be redeemed: "Then you must have seen worse, I think."

Batman didn't answer, because the girl was right, which also proved that Ma Linglong was just like him.

The girl took out a small square device (Batman didn't even see where she took it out), put it on the ground, and pressed a switch.

"Tape recorder?" Batman looked at the machine on the ground in confusion.

"Don't talk." She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and pressed them close to her chest, accompanied by the scriptures that only Ma Linglong and Soul could hear, coming from the instrument.She closed her eyes and silently recited the ancient incantations to save the undead and send them to where they should go.The number of undead is too large, it is impossible for her to take them home and solve them one by one. It is definitely not as simple as twenty or thirty people. To the land of reincarnation.

After 10 minutes passed, Ma Linglong opened her eyes. She picked up the instrument on the ground and walked quickly in the same direction without looking back.

Batman guessed that she had performed some kind of ritual, so he called Sheriff Gordon and sent him a special signal of the situation here, and the police car would arrive at the crime scene soon.

Ma Linglong came in front of the host, but he could not cry out anymore, the girl stretched out her hand and pointed it at his head.

A black shadow quickly approached, and Batman stopped her movement: "You will leave fingerprints like this, don't psychics consider these when they do things?"

Ma Linglong shook off the shackles of the bat, "I didn't intend to touch him." She folded her index and middle fingers together, and waved them twice in front of the male master's eyes: "You will pay for what you did." She cast a curse Ma Linglong glanced at the dying hostess lying on the bed, stepped forward, and did the same to her.

Ma Linglong allowed both of them to see ghosts from now on. Some of the undead rescued by her just now entered reincarnation smoothly, while the other part of the remnant souls remained, and they will always be brought to them by the murderer's side. Unlimited fear, until the last moment of their death.

Batman didn't know what Ma Linglong did to the murderer. In his eyes, the girl just gesticulated twice on the murderer's face.

Then, the bell of the police car pierced the silence. Batman and Sheriff Gordon reached a consensus before they came to the old house. As long as Batman caught the murderer and found evidence, the police would come and arrest him immediately.

"Let's go, I think you don't want to be arrested to make a statement." Batman said.

Leaving the old house, Ma Linglong remained silent. She rejected Batman's offer to take her home, but the knight accompanied her to the parking place very gentlemanly: "Are you sure you can drive back by yourself?" Batman ask.

"I didn't drink."

"My suggestion is, send a message to Bruce Wayne, please take two days off, you don't look very good." Batman said, "He will definitely agree."

"I'm fine." Ma Linglong suddenly turned her head and asked him, "Why didn't you kill someone?"

However, Batman did not answer directly, but said: "This question can be reserved until after we cooperate."

She shouldn't be involved with Muggles, the human world is complicated and hypocritical, Ma Linglong prefers to deal with ghosts.No matter how diabolical, they do not lie to conceal the truth.So she hardly had any friendship with Muggles outside of business, until she met Stark, she found that Muggles are not that bad.

"I'll think about it after my matter is settled," Ma Linglong said.

"Tell him your purpose of approaching Bruce Wayne, and he will help you."

"I don't trust him."

"it's a pity."

"He also doesn't trust me." Ma Linglong told the truth, "He won't even let me make coffee for him."

The corners of Batman's mouth were slightly rolled inward, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva guiltily. This action was wrapped in his black leather, and no one could detect it.

Ma Linglong continued: "I assume you won't tell him about me, and I will leave Bruce Wayne next Monday."

"Next Monday?" Batman uttered in surprise, and immediately covered up his emotions, "Have you found what you want?"

Ma Linglong thought for a while: "You don't need to know."

"Then what about cooperation?"

"I said I would consider it."

The author has something to say: [Stephen Hawking]: Baidu Encyclopedia gave him a description: physicist, cosmologist, mathematician, thinker, philosopher.

I hope the little angels don’t worry too much. This is a million-word novel. It’s just the beginning for me. I’m not good at writing easy and funny fast articles. The emotional line between the protagonist and every key person, not just piao.If you feel that the plot is procrastinated or long-winded and ugly, there is only one possibility, that is, the author's writing style and writing level are not up to the requirements, but at present I only have this ability, so I am very sorry that I cannot bring the best to every reader Experience, I hope everyone forgives.
