Beginning with the Marvel Omnibus

Chapter 70 Haunted House Commission
After calling Maggie's assistant, Chloe followed Lin Bei back to the fifth floor like a follower. Watching Lin Bei process the ingredients, she couldn't help drooling. She didn't know how she was doing in the past two weeks. What day, burgers, pizza, Maggie also cooked a pot of dumplings that Lin Bei had frozen in the refrigerator, but it was a pity that Maggie cooked it like a piece of soup, it would be better to eat pizza!
Lin Bei skillfully took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, some needed to be thawed, some needed to be cleaned, and his mouth was not idle, he threw an apple to Chloe and said, "I'm not in New York recently, what happened?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, just after you left, a punisher appeared in Hell's Kitchen, directly killed the leader of the Irish gang who came back, and killed many people, recently caught, Fudge and Matt Became his defense lawyer, the law firm downstairs is famous!"

Hearing what Chloe said, Lin Bei was no longer puzzled. No wonder Fudge's mission was completed, and there was a twists and turns in it. However, the Punisher will pick a time, and it happens that he appears during his absence. , I really want to meet this special soldier!He should be the benchmark of the pinnacle of humanity!

"Father Dolan of the Holy Ax Society, have you ever looked for me?"

Chloe Kaka was eating an apple, shaking the apple gas tube in her hand, squinting her eyes triumphantly and answered Lin Bei, "It's a phone call, he gave you time to solve it, the haunted house at 112 Ocean Street, Long Island , it seems that some unbelievers have moved in."

"Haunted house?" Lin Bei was a little surprised. The haunted house also came looking for him. Do you really think that you care about everything?
"Yes, it's a haunted house, and it's officially recognized as a haunted house. Ever since I came to New York, I've heard talk about wizards. Even the guys who are wizards are very afraid of that haunted house. It's really evil. of."

"Oh?" With that said, Lin Bei is a little interested. Now he can mobilize his curiosity, and only those unknowns are things. However, through reading books and other studies, including works such as psychiatry and theology, for so-called ghosts, My own understanding is only the spiritual energy body, and what is easy to understand is the bardo body. The former is the uncorrupted body, and then it is the home of the soul. Only in the bardo body can it be regarded as the existence of ghosts.

"I investigated that haunted house. Everything started because of a murder case. A pervert killed his whole family. Since then, the house has been haunted." Chloe said with an unnatural expression, it should be It is to discover some strange things about the haunted house.

Lin Bei frowned, making Chloe show such an expression is enough to prove that the haunted house left her with a deep bad memory, "You seem to have seen something terrible?"

Chloe leaned on the door frame of the kitchen, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "When I was investigating, the new house only had the hostess at home, but strangely, I saw a child with Beside her, and she didn't seem to notice, that child smiled at me, the kind that felt cold! I never went there after that."

As a dreamwalker, Chloe felt ashamed of herself. In the wizarding world, her abilities were transcendent, but when faced with strange events, she was still involuntarily afraid, just like the cross she brought back last time, instinct told She, that is an evil thing, and the child who smiled at her gave her a feeling not only evil, but also weird. She couldn't tell what it was like, anyway, it made all the hairs on her body stand on end, She fled there in a fast car, and the feeling didn't go away until she left Long Island.

"Child? Are you sure you're not a lingering ghost?"

Chloe shook her head, "Ghosts generally don't appear in broad daylight, and I've never seen them so close to the real thing." Chloe said with certainty that as a wizard ghost, she could still tell the difference. Yes, and the kid who smiled at her was obviously not in that state, more like a weird person than a ghost.

The kitchen knife was cutting the vegetables, and Lin Bei said casually, "Forget it, don't think about it, let's go and have a look when we have a chance! By the way, why does the Holy Axe care so much about that haunted house?"

"The loss of Father Moore's lawsuit brought a certain crisis of trust to the Holy See. Holy Ax will want you to solve this famous haunted house in the name of the Holy See and restore the reputation of the Holy See."

Chloe has some means of rejecting the Holy See, but it has to be said that using this haunted house now can indeed attract people's attention, at least it can change public opinion's view of the Holy See.

"What about the remuneration? I'm very expensive." Lin Bei grinned at Chloe, with the expression of a profiteer. He helped Father Dolan before, which was regarded as help between friends, and Father Dolan would be a man. All the weapons cabinets from before were sent over. As for helping the Holy See, Lin Bei will be slaughtered severely. Everyone knows that the Holy See is rich, and the donations from hundreds of millions of believers around the world are no exaggeration. Compared with the old America, even the declining England does not necessarily have the money of the Holy See.

"The Holy Axe intends to entrust us to complete the task at a price of 100 million." Chloe lied. The Holy Axe just told Lin Bei to complete it. She added herself and wanted to complete a task with Lin Bei. The last time Father Moore didn't count, there was no challenge at all, and Lin Bei ran away halfway, she didn't want to miss the opportunity this time.

"One million? How about you tell them that I'll give them one million and let them stop bothering me?"

It's not that Lin Bei is more arrogant now, but that money has no meaning to him now. As long as the current financial system does not collapse, it will be a fixed cash machine, and money is just a set of numbers to him.

"I don't dare, you should tell Father Dolan yourself! I'm afraid I'm not suitable to talk about it." As a witch's natural fear of the Holy See, Chloe can't help shrinking her neck, she doesn't want to be the mouthpiece Maybe the people from the Holy See will arrest her for trial the next day.

The power of the Holy See spread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages, and the elimination of witches was unremitting, especially those who were accused of being witches. Many of them were ordinary girls. They were hanged by the river and sank into the river. The next day There is no resurrection, which proves that they are not witches, but those people are already dead. Most of the women who died in that catastrophe were ordinary people, but it was enough to scare the wizarding world. Chloe was instilled with this kind of thinking since she was a child. , it is normal for the Holy See to be afraid.

"Okay, it's not hard for you, you tell Father Dolan, I don't care about the money, I want a second copy of the Old Testament, at least it's a rubbing of the original, there's no room for negotiation."

As the saying goes, God does not deceive people, but people do. If you want to understand the sapling in the spiritual space, you need to learn from the Old Testament, at least you can get some implicit revelations.

There are still four attribute points that have not been added. In terms of spiritual power, Lin Bei will no longer increase it, because in just a few weeks, the spiritual power has increased by 0.1, and the interaction between the spiritual power and the sapling in the spiritual world has already achieved initial results. As for If these four points are added there, we need to think carefully about them.

After Maggie came back early, dinner was served on the dining table. Seeing Maggie eating with satisfaction, Lin Bei felt that this girlfriend was really easy to support.
