XXXIX

In Michael's palatial mansion, I accompanied Helsing, Yaochi, and Bate to Michael's collection room. Yao Chi's gaze wandered over the murals and statues, and he said yearningly, "Everything here is full of magic. ”

"Childish stuff," Helsing said. ”

Bet looked scared, Rita's leftover brother and traumatized. But when he looks at a work of art, he becomes very focused.

The door opened, and Michael bowed to greet him, and he smiled, "Welcome to the Humble House, the presence of the virtuous couple really makes this place shine." ”

Yao Chi said: "The Marquis's collection is an eye-opener, and I am honored to do so. ”

In the collection room, Legang and Bella are both there, and Michael introduces them to both sides, and then can't wait to take out the statue of Ix, and he wraps the two statues in red transparent amber to prevent accidents.

Yao Chi was completely intrigued, and she walked towards the statue, her palm turning, and Michael's spell subsided. Michael let out an "ah" and then said, "It's amazing, it's well deserved." ”

She showed her hand, and if Michael might have thought she was a swagger before, he had dispelled his suspicions.

Yao Chi knelt in front of the statue, and Helsin said, "Don't hurt your body. ”

But Yao Chi didn't hear it, she touched the first statue first, then the second statue, and said, "I feel.... There are powerful ..... in both statues Powerful guardian spirits, thousands of years of death, the faith of the grief of the dead are still trapped in this statue. ”

Michael asked, "Is there any danger?" ”

Bella said, "Isn't that nonsense? We have experienced first-hand the deadly power of this statue. She looked at Yao Chi and said, "You must put an end to the real source of evil here, ma'am." ”

Yao Chi suddenly screamed in pain, and Helsin held her in his arms, and the blade turned into an invisible wall of qi. Yao Chi said in a trembling voice: "I can't, I can't now, they are very stubborn and strong. ”

Le Gang asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Yao Chi said, "Now, hide the statue in... Hidden in the strongest safes, no one is allowed to approach them. I've got to build a circle, and you've got to collect all three statues, all of which are indispensable. ”

I asked, "Why didn't you destroy the statue?" ”

At least three voices present shouted, "Are you crazy?" ”

The voices came from Yao Chi, Michael, and Bella, and they saw people accurately.

Yao Chi said: "These antiquities are of infinite value, we just need to exorcise the evil spirits above, they are worthy of being passed down from generation to generation." ”

Michael smiled and said, "Dear Mrs. Helsing, this is insightful and extraordinary, and I admire you all the more." ”

Yao Chi said, "My circle will be completed in ten days at the earliest, can you get the third statue in ten days?" ”

Michael said, "The Transamericana Pyramid is not far from here? ”

I said, "This time, we will not use Yune, but we will go on foot, in secrecy, and although ten days is not enough to go back and forth, twenty days will certainly be enough." ”

Michael said, "Yes, Major, you are the most reassuring to me." Then he said to Legang: "My dear brother, whatever kind of person Longi wants, whatever equipment he wants, be sure to satisfy him." ”

I took advantage of the situation and said, "Sir. Legang, I have two ideal candidates who want to be drafted into the army. ”

Le Gang asked, "Who are they?" ”

I said, "One is Waste Bell Burger, and the other is Solace Steak." "Their last name is Kolov, but I can't tell the truth.

Le Gang said: "You fill out a copy of their details and give them to me, and I will take care of it." ”

I grimaced and said, "They... In fact, it is a black people, but it does have a very outstanding talent. ”

Le Gang pondered for a moment and said, "I can open the net, are they going to live in the town or in the skyscraper?" ”

I said, "Skyscrapers, I'll try to arrange their accommodations without bothering the chief." ”

Le Gang said: "There will be a high cost of staying in the black coffin, are you sure you can afford it?" ”

I said, "I'm going to let them live in Henry's Haunted House, at least the rent will be free." ”

Michael and Bella laughed at the same time, and Bella exclaimed, "Poverty.... Can it really make people not afraid of anything? ”

Michael said, "I've never been poor, I don't know. ”

I have anger in my heart, but I can't blame them, if it were me, I would also like to never be poor.

Michael said, "You're not going to sell me Henry's haunted house?" ”

I replied, "I'm sorry too, but for now... I won't sell it for the time being. "The loss hurt me to the core, but I could only knock out my teeth and swallow blood.

Michael said, "Well, I'm planning to build a sewer project in Black Coffin Town recently, and I can save some money." ”

I didn't know that this gentleman was also responsible for the livelihood of the black coffin.

Legang is the most straightforward person I know, and he said: "It's over, you let them have time to report to the Ranger camp, but all the formalities for moving into the skyscraper must be complete, they are your people, and you are responsible for all actions." ”

It's not that I'm cowardly and scared to quit for a moment, but burgers and steaks are inherently cursed, and even if they don't want to get into trouble, irascible humans are prone to negative feelings towards them, unless they stay at home for the rest of their lives.

After thinking about it, since I have chosen the most difficult path, I can only accept my fate.

Michael's attention shifted to Bette Mann, who said, "Who is this kid?" ”

I hurriedly said, "He's the younger brother of Ranger Rita Mann." ”

Michael asked, "Is that the heroine who died heroically chasing down the Blood Pact?" He walked over to Bate, who was already nervous, and Michael's doing so made him backwards.

Michael lives by sucking blood, and he takes pleasure in sucking blood, and this kid doesn't know it, but he's afraid, he's afraid, because what happened to him makes him very sensitive, he's just afraid of strangers.

"He suffered a lot and was mentally vulnerable," Michael said. ”

Yao Chi replied, "We'll take care of him." ”

Michael said, "You can only feed and clothe him, but you can't comfort his soul, and his soul lives in great pain." ”

Helsing asked, "Can you see his soul?" ”

"I know a lot," said Michael, Mr. Helsing. He reached out to Bate kindly, and I was afraid that Bate would refuse, and anger Michael.

After a while, Bet put her little hand in Michael's hand.

Michael smiled, went to the wall, pointed to a painting of a knight on a war horse, dressed in gold and silver, and imposing, and asked, "Tell me, child, what do you feel from it?" ”

Bette opened his eyes, looked at it for a long time, and said, "He is very lonely, and the painter wants to make people think that this knight is lonely and empty..."

Michael showed Bate a few more works and asked him how he felt, and Bate made indescribable but thought-provoking comments.

Michael seemed satisfied, nodded and said, "Your talent is as good as your appearance, kid." He said to Yao Chi, "Please allow me to adopt him." ”

Yaochi said, "But we have already adopted him." If she was worried about Michael's intentions and nature, she showed no signs. Yao Chi is the most calm and steady person I have ever met.

Michael said, "Have you not formally applied for it?" With all due respect, the education and training he received with me will be far superior to that of the lower levels. ”

"Then I beg all due respect," said Helsin, Marquis, that I know that your thirst for blood is hard to quench. ”

The smile on Michael's face faded, and he said, "Sir, you know a lot, but you don't know my personality and credit. I assure you that I will not let this child suffer any harm, and if he wants to join my clan when he becomes an adult, I will welcome him. If he doesn't want to, I still love him just as much. ”

Yao Chi and Helsin were about to say something, but I winked at them and said, "I also vouch for the Marquis, he is the most trustworthy person I have ever met." ”

This statement is very contrary to his intentions, but I believe that Michael's financial stinginess does not conflict with his concern for humanity.

Yaochi said no more, and Helsin agreed. His swordsmanship may be unmatched, but he can't fight the entire black coffin alone, not to mention Michael's request is quite reasonable.

Michael asked me when I would be ready for my third expedition, and I replied, "We expect to be able to go the day after tomorrow." Michael's expression was full of happiness as he hooked me up and sent me out the door.

While waiting for the elevator, I thought Yaochi and Helsing were a little frustrated, and I said, "I'm sorry. ”

Helsing asked, "Why did you apologize?" ”

I said, "The reason why I speak for Michael is because I know him, he can control himself, he is not a reckless beast who cares about human life." ”

"The Bloods were right in a way, the boy was willing to speak to him, but he remained silent to us. My mind blade does not heal the wounds of my mind. ”

Yao Chi said, "It would also be a good thing if the Marquis could really heal his soul and raise him. ”

I asked, "Mrs. Yao, can you.... Can you do me another favor? ”

She smiled and said yes.

I led them to the thirty-story mansion and unlocked it. Henry's mansion was as oppressive and gloomy as ever, and the clouds of past tragedies still lingered, but with the portraits and statues removed, I was sure it would no longer be haunted.

Burgers & Steaks - Waste Clock and Soles were in their rooms, and they were both reading. The room was very clean by them, and I was not bad luck picking tenants.

Yao Chi knew the Waste Bell and immediately realized that Soles was a living corpse. She was discouraged, revealing a hint of embarrassment, she knew that this was the evil result of the Hellfire, but she couldn't suppress her disgust. Helsin strengthened her will with the Mind Blade, and Yao Chi calmed down and said, "I'm sorry for my faux pas." ”

She was so polite that she didn't do anything at all.

I briefly introduced them, and Waste Bell asked, "We're not black people now?" ”

I smiled and said, "This is what I promised by patting my chest, don't worry, the reason why I invited Mrs. Yaochi here is so that you can go out normally and not cause chaos." Lady Yaochi is the best exorcist. ”

Yao Chi said, "I can't completely eliminate the Demonic Fire Curse, but I can teach you how to suppress the Demonic Fire, so that you can minimize the adverse reactions that the Demonic Fire arouses in people's hearts." ”

Solese said happily: "Thank you so much, I will definitely study hard." ”

Yaochi said: "You're welcome, you have also given me a good opportunity to enhance my knowledge and improve myself. This process is not simple and requires long-term perseverance. ”
