Chapter 181 The old won't go, the new won't come

Charles, who saved Skye, is not idle now. He is fighting with a woman, Jessica Jones, a woman with super strength and flying. She plans to apply for a job in Charles Exorcism Office The job of an exorcist assistant.

"Wait, I don't seem to have any news advertisements for assistants outside. Where did you find the assistant I need here?" Charles wanted to go out now to see if someone had posted a recruitment advertisement on his door as a prank. The advertisement also attracted such a woman, who had already walked in and looked around while she was talking.

"I recently lost my job, and my boss was a fool, so I blackmailed him and quit my job. But I really needed a job. Fortunately, I met a high school classmate, although she seemed to be dead in my memory. But since she is still alive, I must have remembered it wrong. After we had a drink and got to know each other, she told me that your original assistant here went to school, so there should be one less assistant here. Let me come. Try it here."

Jessica Jones looked at the Charles Exorcism Office and explained why she came here. After seeing the layout of the living room, Jessica Jones looked at Charles and made a conclusion for this place: " So, you are a liar who makes a living deceiving ignorant women and children, oh, what a "nice" old classmate."

"Great, this is indeed a scammer's office, so please leave quickly and don't touch my sofa or my game console!" Charles heard Jessica Jones's judgment on his side, He no longer cursed Gwen in his mind for being nosy, and immediately planned to borrow the donkey from the slope. You can walk on your sunny path, and I can cross my single-plank bridge. It would be great if we don't interfere with the river.

"By the way, I heard that you went to school with a female assistant, high school, university, or further education?" Jessica Jones sat on Charles' sofa like a bully, and picked up Charles's game I started playing with the computer, but there was no sign of her being friendly in the words I said to Charles.

"What are you going to say?" When Charles heard this, he realized that this woman didn't just come to apply for an assistant. She seemed to be planning to judge herself again.

"I mean, the little girl in the photo shouldn't be your former assistant, right?" Jessica Jones asked Charles in a seemingly joking tone, but it would be better if there was a smile on her face.

"That's my daughter, Laura, and of course my assistant. As for the title of ex-assistant, sorry, she just went to school and hasn't quit, so I don't need another assistant to help me with my business." Charles To be honest about this question, Charles is also very curious about what Jessica is going to do now.

"So, I'm curious how you, a man under 30 years old, have a teenage daughter?" It seemed that Jessica Jones didn't care much about Charles' assistant job, and she confessed asked.

"I made a mistake when I was young, and now I take on the responsibility of my father. What's the answer?" Charles shrugged, and answered Jessica Jones' question indifferently, with an attitude that made everyone who heard You know, he's just bullshitting.

"My old classmate said that my new boss was like a jerk a lot of the time, and now that I think about it, she didn't plan to apply for an assistant job, but for a superhero job, like this."

Jessica Jones thought that she had completely figured out the truth of the matter. At some point, she was discovered by her old classmate Gwen Stacy, and then her classmate Gwen Stacy discovered it again. A liar who illegally adopted an underage girl through a legal loophole. Now this scumbag has completed the adoption process. Legally, if the scumbag’s adoption procedure is to be lifted, the US government’s adoption loopholes must be dug out. Maybe Gwen hopes It can be dealt with in a simpler way, such as asking a woman with superpowers to threaten the man and tell the man to be honest.

So Jessica Jones, a woman, planned to use violence to let Charles know what he shouldn't do, but when she was about to twist Charles' arm to his back, she discovered something, the man was so strong. Pretty big.

"The strength is quite strong, but it is still a little weaker than my daughter, let alone compared with me. Gwen should tell you where this place is, so as to prevent you from doing some irrational things. For example, now you Things to do."

Charles stretched out his hand and asked Jessica, a woman with super strength, to do something most like a weak woman in her life. After shaking her arm slightly, Jessica Jones let go of her hand.

"Here you are." Charles, who shook off Jessica Jones, took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator with a sarcastic smile, and threw one to Jessica.

"Okay, I apologize, this doesn't seem to be the liar office I thought." Jessica took Charles's beer with her left hand, shook her right hand that was numb from the shock, looked at Charles, Jessica Since possessing superpowers, it has been many years since he met someone stronger than himself, and he was so much bigger, which is enough to show how difficult this exorcism firm is.

"No, this is what you think of a liar exorcism agency, 100%, I usually tell people who scare themselves that they have encountered real ghosts, then tell them through something that I have defeated those ghosts, and finally charge a fee A lot of money, this is my business." Charles vetoed Jessica's words and told himself that he made a living by deceiving people.

"Superpowers make a living by cheating. It sounds good. If someone exposes your lies, what are you going to do? Will you solve it violently?" Hearing what Charles said, Jessica felt that Charles was indeed a bit strange , After human beings acquire superpowers, they either use them to do great things and earn big money, and those who choose not to use superpowers are more willing to live the lives of ordinary people, rather than choose a job that doesn’t make much money, but is a gray income. In life, Charles' choice is really strange.

"It was like this at the beginning, but now I rarely do it anymore. After all, if people believe that this place is not ordinary, they are more willing to believe that they have encountered a ghost instead of thinking that they are scaring themselves. Everyone is willing to believe in themselves. Not ordinary, is it?"

Charles thought of his own way of doing business in the past, and looked at Jessica again, and finally understood why Gwen recommended Jessica to be an assistant here. Indeed, Jessica is completely qualified for Laura's job, and he himself It is true that because of Laura's absence, he personally taught a few unbelievers. This kind of behavior has damaged his image of a master.
