A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Heather paused for a moment, then looked at Luke with suspicion.

"There's none?"

Where are the people who broke in?

Luke turned to look at the empty living room, now only broken glass and liquid scattered on the floor. He blinked, looked at Heather, and asked, "Where are the others?"

Heather shook her head with a somewhat blank expression.

"I do not know."

As Heather spoke, she looked at Luke, who seemed about to speak, and said first, "Don't say I saw it wrong, I didn't see it wrong, someone must have just come in."

Luke shrugged, looked at Heather with an expression that seemed to say, "Honey, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Heather was stunned once again, and began to wonder if the scene in the cellar had shattered her worldview and she hadn't recovered yet, leading to auditory and visual hallucinations.

but……

"It shouldn't be."

"This broken window."

"And there's liquid all over the place."

Heather looked at the broken window and the liquid all over the floor, frowning, and looked at Luke with an expression that seemed to be confused about her own situation: "Could this all be an illusion?"

Lu Ke smiled.

He was considering how to explain everything that had just happened to Heather.

be honest.

Tell Heather that the people who just broke in were her neighbors from the town of Sally, and that they had all been enveloped in his dark domain, being compressed step by step, and then having their souls harvested by him.

Stop it.

To be honest, this sounds like something a villain would say.

but……

lie?

how to say.

Just as Luke was pondering this, he suddenly heard the familiar sound of an engine.

after awhile.

Luke led Heather out of the manor and looked up at the sky.

into the eye.

The Aegis Quinjet fighter jet was hovering over the manor, initiating the landing procedure.

It arrived at just the right time.

Lu Ke glanced at Heather, whose attention had been diverted, and thought to himself. At the same time, with a thought, he clenched his right hand instantly.

In an instant.

A muffled thud came from the manor's living room behind him.

But such a sound seemed insignificant compared to the massive engine roar of the Quinjet fighter jet.

at the same time.

In the underworld of Hela, Hela rested her chin on her hands, smiling radiantly as she watched one after another, souls with angelic bloodlines line up to enter her realm of death.

quite a while.

The Aegis fighter jet landed smoothly.

Maria Hill led Xu Wenwu out of the opened hatch.

Seeing this, Lu Ke became somewhat curious.

"Where's Jack?"

“Natasha called him away.”

Hill said this, then smiled at Luke: "They'll be here soon."

Poor Jack.

Luke understood the meaning of those words from Hill's expression, silently prayed for Jack, and then calmly nodded.

As the leader, he stated that he had no idea that Jack had not only hidden one clone but also one of Natasha's clones.

In a word.

The leader is always right, great, and correct.

Xu Wenwu, who was standing to the side, didn't say much. Instead, he took out the contract scroll he had obtained from the first Ghost Rider and handed it to Lu Ke.

Lu Ke reached out and took it.

Xu Wenwu asked directly, "Is this it?"

Luke didn't speak, but directly unfurled the contract scroll, which looked much larger than it appeared.

The scroll was covered with a dense list of names.

It seemed as if a soul was flickering within it.

That's right.

It's him.

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow, then closed the scroll, nodded, and looked at Xu Wenwu: "When you first came here, I had already negotiated with Mephisto to exchange the Soul of the Witchheart for the soul we wanted."

Xu Wenwu's eyes lit up.

"Really? He agreed?"

"Ah."

Luke nodded, then introduced his new girlfriend Heather to Xu Wenwu, and said, "Heather was there when I was negotiating with Mephisto, she can testify."

To be honest, Heather still hasn't quite grasped what happened that day.

but……

Hearing Luke's words, and seeing Xu Wenwu's seemingly questioning gaze, Heather nodded subconsciously.

Upon seeing this, Xu Wenwu's face instantly lit up with excitement.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Luke smiled slightly, then looked at Hill beside him: "Commander Hill, is there anyone you want to fish out of hell? Make a list, and we can go together later."

Hill was slightly taken aback: "Is that alright?"

Unlike Heather, who was completely bewildered, Hill at least knew some of the inside story.

For example, how Lu Ke persuaded Xu Wenwu to cooperate with him.

Luke chuckled at the uncertainty in Hill's words, then looked at Hill and said, "Of course, I'll take one soul or ten. If you need one, hurry up, or you'll miss this opportunity."

Hill: "..."

Chapter 478 Lu Ke's Angel Queen

A soul is needed.

A dozen, or even a hundred, souls are also required.

Luke wasn't afraid that Mephisto wouldn't give it to him; he was afraid that Mephisto would realize he'd been tricked and then renege on the deal.

after all……

He's using the name of Dormammu from the Dark Dimension.

Who knows if Mephisto might suddenly have a brain fart, remember this, and then run to the Dark Dimension to ask Dormammu if there's such a person as him in the Dark Dimension.

Of course.

This possibility is very small.

Again.

The relationship between dimensions is not one of coexistence, but rather one of life and death.

However, just in case, and to prevent any unforeseen complications, this matter must be resolved before Mephisto realizes what's happening.

With the help of the contract scroll in hand and Heather, Hale's Underworld will reintegrate into the power of life and death on Earth.

Then, after dealing with the Heart Demon, they could make a deal with Mephisto to swap souls.

Things should be done one at a time.

In the manor's living room.

Thanks to the SHIELD agents brought by Hill, the living room, which had just been littered with shards of glass and liquid, was quickly cleaned up.

Maria Hill, pen and paper in hand, sat to the side, frantically racking her brains to figure out which souls needed to be brought back from hell.

no way.

Luke had previously explained the details of his deal with Xu Wenwu to Maria Hill, but he didn't tell Hill that she could also be involved in the deal.

and so……

There's a bit of a time constraint.

Hill was frowning, rapidly filtering through name after name in his mind.

Xu Wenwu stood with his hands behind his back, like a statue, like a loyal guard, gazing at the starry sky at the entrance of the manor's main building.

At this moment, all the memories he shared with his wife Yingli flashed through his mind like a movie.

Wait for me, my love.

We will be able to reunite soon.
