2157 Side Story: Scarlet Witch's Post-Battle Mission 1

Wearing the hoodie and T-shirt she was most used to, Wanda sat under a large umbrella on the streets of Paris in France. She took a sip of her coffee and nodded confidently. "This one tastes good."

The Level 2 clone opposite her, Big Dipper, still had the appearance of a handsome man in his forties. It was just that like Wanda, he had chosen a face that was slightly similar to his real face, but clearly different.

Hearing that, he took a sip of his coffee and commented calmly, "Indeed, it's not terrible."

Wanda didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Will the boss spit in our breakfast when he hears that?"

"No, because the waiter has already come out with the tray." Big Dipper was unperturbed. "So, unless the boss chases us out now and spits in front of us, he won't have the chance."

Wanda was lost for words. This was just breakfast, not a mission. Did he have to be so cautious?

Almost half a year had passed since the Battle of Wakanda, and the entire Earth was much more peaceful.

Without a major operation, Wanda felt bored to death.

It just so happened that her brother Pietro had recently gotten a girlfriend: 'GPS, Blink-and-you're-there' Clarice.

Big Dipper had sneered when he heard that. "Why would a man who can use speed to handle multiple girls insist on finding a girlfriend who can catch him in bed at any second?"

The smug young man instantly withered. He had never thought that his girlfriend's ability could be interpreted that way.

Although he had no intention of messing around, he would be wronged if Clarice thought that he was being forced to be a decent person.

Thankfully, Big Dipper said that he wouldn't make remarks like that again. In any case, Clarice avoided him.

Generally speaking, Afterlife and the Inhumans under Werner's control had the same attitude toward Big Dipper.

Technically speaking, it was Big Dipper who had rescued them from Werner's complete control, but nobody was willing to approach an extraordinary 'hunter.'

In particular, after Big Dipper cut up and roasted more than half of the superpowered aliens in Thanos's alien team during the Battle of Wakanda, few Inhumans dared to approach him.

In comparison, Pietro and Wanda were very unperturbed, and would chat with Big Dipper every now and then.

It was also because of this that Clarice, who had been on the base for a long time, noticed Pietro. She was a little curious about this ordinary-looking young man.

As for whether or not Clarice was overwhelmed by Pietro's 'super speed' ability, only the two parties involved knew.

There was a saying in China: "You forget your mother once you have a wife." It wasn't that exaggerated with Pietro, but every minute he spent with Clarice was naturally a minute less with his sister.

Wanda had even more free time, but she never got the 'long trip' which Big Dipper had promised her before the battle.

She didn't believe that Big Dipper would go back on his promise, but after the battle, he remained on Earth.

After enduring for a few months, she finally couldn't help but ask him why he hadn't gone off recently. Big Dipper told her that Knight had something to do and had left Earth for the time being, so he was in charge of overseeing the base.

This was an extremely legitimate reason.

The core members of the Justice League and some of the quasi-core members (Wanda and Pietro included) more or less knew that Knight and Black Cat had basically moved out at the same time.

This also meant that two of the three strongest members in the Bat Squad were not on Earth.

Big Dipper naturally wouldn't go on a long trip in this situation, and Wanda couldn't ask when they would be leaving.

Thankfully, after she asked, Big Dipper quickly brought her to Europe on a high-level mission.

In the past two months, the two of them had been searching major cities in various countries. It could be considered a tour of Europe.

However, Wanda felt helpless, because they really were on a mission; it wasn't like Big Dipper was using his position to take her out to play.

Of course, she wouldn't be careless on a high-level mission, but what she wanted to confirm wasn't the mission.

However, it seemed that this mission was finally coming to an end? Wanda's eyes flickered as she sensed an unusual mental fluctuation 100 meters away. She had mixed feelings.

She was looking forward to it, but was also nervous and uncertain.

Thinking that, she put her hand on Big Dipper's that was on the table and stared at him.

Big Dipper didn't misunderstand, because Wanda had already tapped the back of his hand twice with her index finger.

This was the simplest confirmation signal – the target had fallen into the trap.

Big Dipper moved his hand and placed it on top of hers before he tapped twice.

This was to confirm that she could take action now.

Wanda nodded slightly.

A moment later, she threw two euros on the table and left with Big Dipper.

Wanda casually leaned against Big Dipper and held his right arm with both hands as they looked at the buildings and scenery around them.

From sending the signal to approaching the target, the two of them acted like a common couple on the streets.

When they arrived at a six-story apartment building, Wanda smiled brightly. "This building looks alright. Do you want to take a look?"

Big Dipper glanced at the building. "It's a little old."

Wanda grabbed his arm. "The older ones have more history. I want to find something similar to stay in for a few days, okay?"

Big Dipper said helplessly, "Fine, let's take a look." Then, Wanda dragged him into the apartment building.

The two of them wandered upstairs unhurriedly. During this time, they chatted with a helpful middle-aged woman and discussed the rent and public facilities here. It took them almost ten minutes to reach the fourth floor.

At that moment, Big Dipper gave Wanda a "confirmed movement" look.

Wanda nodded and said, "Let's see what the view is like through the windows here."

They turned left from the stairs.

When they reached the second last door at the end of the hallway, Big Dipper's left finger brushed lightly past the crack in the door.

The Annihilation energy on his fingertip silently cut the lock in half. He pushed, and the wooden door opened.

They walked in soundlessly and stood in front of the couch in the living room.

A man turned around as if he had sensed something. When he saw two figures, his face changed, and he was about to say something.

Big Dipper opened his left palm and grabbed the man's face.

The power of faith flooded into the man's brain.

Less than two seconds later, a system notification popped up: Kill ghost Simon. Mission accomplished.

Simon's abilities: Elementary Soul Transfer (partially available).

Big Dipper finally smiled.

Seeing that, Wanda couldn't help but ask, "We're done?"

Big Dipper scanned the system's description of Elementary Soul Transfer and nodded cheerfully. "Hm, this is Simon's main body. We've finally dealt with this troublesome guy."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to take out his special 'body bag' and put Simon in it before putting it into his inventory.

After dealing with this last possible hidden danger, Luke, who was far away in Shackelford, heaved a long sigh. "Done. The witch is still the best at dealing with monsters like these."
