Beginning with the Marvel Omnibus

Chapter 204 Story
With Joan's intermittent narration, the story about her was also told. Even Nini stopped playing with the building blocks in her hand, climbed into Lin Bei's arms, and listened to the aunt in front of her, telling her story.

The story happened hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago, so it is impossible to know. Joan lived in a fishing village along the coast of Huaxia. Once, she went fishing with her family and encountered a storm. The small fishing boat was overturned, and she was destined to die. Undoubtedly, she didn't know why she miraculously survived, and she didn't know how far she had drifted. It was impossible to find the fishing village where she was born. A tall woman, came to meet her and told her that they were of the same kind.

That woman was Andy, dressed as a knight, who gave Joan an infinite sense of security, so that she would not shrink back in fear when she was alone.

It was only later that she realized what Andy meant by the same kind of people. They both had immortal bodies, and no matter how seriously injured they were, they would heal automatically. Their footprints are all over the Americas. They live in no fixed place. Where there is a commission, they will pick up the task as long as the task does not violate conscience and morality. With a super high completion rate, they have become legends at that time.

After all, as a woman, such a life would be tiresome, especially Joan, she is just the daughter of a fisherman, not a natural warrior, she longs for a life with a husband and children.

After avoiding being discovered by the Holy See, the two who were regarded as heretics embarked on a passenger ship to the New World, which is the United States. In the newly developed United States, people here live fairly freely. Without the war in Europe, the only threat is Indians who also use cold weapons.

Relying on their immortality, the two sisters quickly gained a foothold on this land, and Joan met the man she was destined for.

The man was John Osborne, a doctor in a small town. His business was surprisingly good in America, which was not considered safe. His handsome appearance attracted many girls, and Joan was no exception. , was fascinated by his appearance.

The relationship between the two developed quickly, making the women in the town very jealous. Joan did not participate in the new mission, but planned to spend the rest of her life with the person she loved. Andy repeatedly advised her, but it was a pity that she had already Dazzled by love.

On the wedding night, Joan told John everything, including the secret of her immortality, but didn't want to frighten her husband and bring trouble on herself, and John reported the secret to the mayor on the second day of the wedding At that time, the mayor organized missionaries and defined her as a devil. At that time, it was the darkest time in Europe, and naturally the missionaries would not easily bypass her.

She was hanged, burned to death, but miraculously resurrected, which made the whole town afraid. At that time, the wizards who escaped from the European Holy See were doing whatever they wanted in America, and people thought she was as evil as those wizards. In the end, the mayor and the missionaries locked her in the iron torture device, took a boat to the depths of the sea and left her, and when Lin Bei found her, she didn't know how long she had gone through this kind of life and death. torture.

Joan couldn't cry anymore, everything was because of a man, Lin Bei could see the hatred in her eyes, it was the hatred that could swallow a living person, if he put himself in his shoes, he would not let go of those things that made him go through These suffering people, but those people have long since died, where are they going to take revenge?
"Osborne, your husband's last name is Osborne?"

"Yes, I will never remember wrongly. This is the surname of the person who betrayed me." Joan's eyes were bloodshot, and she said through gritted teeth. She used to have this surname, after all, she married that man .

"That's not surprising. There is the Osborne Group in New York. It is a biopharmaceutical company. I don't know if it has anything to do with the John Osborne you mentioned."

"Impossible. When I was caught, a witch came to see me. Although she failed to help me escape, she promised to help me and cast a curse on all the male descendants of that man. They will not live to be 50 years old. .”

All the truth came to light, and the mysterious curse of the Osborne family was revealed. Lin Bei, who ate melons, was a little stunned, which was really unexpected.

"If you say that, it should be that descendant, the president of the Osborne Group. The average life expectancy of the men in his family can't live to be 50 years old. That witch didn't lie to you."

No wonder Norman Osborn would rush to use the Green Goblin Potion in the future, and be so reckless, it turns out that their family still has such a curse.

"Of course, that witch took my heart and used it as the main medium of the curse. Although I grew a heart again after being resurrected, I feel empty in my heart. This is the only way I can get revenge on him."

Lin Bei can understand that this feeling of lack is caused by a curse, and it will not disappear just because she is resurrected and her heart is restored. As long as the curse is not lifted for a day, this feeling will not disappear.

"That Andy didn't come to rescue you?"

"I've been here, but it's a pity that with her own strength, she couldn't save me. She was also arrested because of this. No one knew that she had the same ability as me. After killing her, she was buried."

Joan's face was full of guilt. She should have listened to Andy in the first place. If she didn't have the idea of ​​starting a family, she wouldn't end up like this. Everyone thought that she had misjudged the man.

"What are your plans for the future? You are free now. As long as you don't show your abilities in front of others, you will be safe and able to start your life again, or take revenge on the descendants of the Osborne family. I will not stop you , and of course I won’t help you.”

Rescuing Joan was purely out of curiosity. I don't want to be involved in the old grievances. When will the grievances be repaid, and I have family members. At that time, I can only erase the enemies from this world. This is the most test of human nature. I don't want to break the current state of mind and fall into darkness.

"Can I stay here? I want to understand the current world. I have been in the dark seabed for too long, and it is too painful. I want to enjoy the sunshine and the feeling of the air inhaled into my lungs. As for the rest, I will come back later." Go think about it."

Hearing Joan's request, Lin Bei nodded. From the hatred in her eyes, Lin Bei knew that it was definitely not as simple as she said, but what did it have to do with him.

"Yes, but I don't have idlers here, so you are responsible for following my wife and protecting her from life-threatening threats. When necessary, you have to use your body to protect her from harm. Are you willing?"

Lin Bei's conditions made Joan a little surprised, and then she wanted to see what kind of woman his wife was and why she was so favored. It would be great if John could treat her like this.

"Your wife is so happy, I am willing, just take it as a condition of staying with you."

Lin Bei is not worried about Maggie's safety. With the seal of Emperor Weishan, she will wait until she appears in any danger, but the necessary protection is still necessary on the surface. Fox complained more than once. The head assassin of the League of Assassins has become Maggie's bodyguard is a bit overqualified, and now that Joan has replaced her, she should stop whining.
