I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 235 I'm sorry, but after thinking about it, it's better if you're dead.

A haunted house?

Upon hearing this, Erin glanced at Lilith, who was being held in Fregra's arms, and then silently thought to himself.

"It seems we'll need to go check out that house sometime."

The intense aura of calamity emanating from Lilith could not have been created by an ordinary haunted house.

Even if Fregra didn't ultimately join the Miracle Group, after seeing the ominous aura surrounding Lilith, Erin would still visit that haunted house.

For no other reason than that.

It's all about the fate that might lie within that haunted house.

···········

Just as Erin was pondering silently.

Nestled in Fregra's arms, with her back to Erin, Lilith's eyes flickered with hesitation.

But just as she slightly opened her mouth, as if about to say something, a dark shadow was suddenly reflected in her eyes.

Lilith raised her head slightly and saw the blurry figure behind Fregra, a sudden look of fear flashed in her eyes.

The words she was about to say were instantly swallowed back.

·······

When Lilith's emotions fluctuated drastically, Erin's spiritual vision keenly detected this change, as well as the sudden fear that rose within Lilith.

What happened?

Just as Erin was beginning to have doubts.

A chill ran down Erin's spine.

It seemed as if at this moment, an extremely terrifying being was staring at him with chilling malice.

That sudden chill.

It was almost comparable to the feeling when Erin was enveloped by the Ancient One's killing intent.

Driven by a strong sense of crisis, Erin's body tensed up.

However, before Erin could react, that chilling malice vanished without a trace, just as mysteriously as it had appeared.

Although the intense malice had dissipated, Erin dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

Even after Erin scanned the entire ward inside and out, he still couldn't find the source of that chilling feeling he had just experienced.

It seems that everything just now was just Erin's illusion.

but.

All of this did not make Erin relax; on the contrary, it made him even more cautious.

He didn't believe that what had just happened was his imagination.

Seeing the lingering fear on Lilith's body, Erin knew very well that her feeling earlier was not wrong.

···········

That sudden act of malice.

This disrupted Erin's intention to continue investigating.

After exchanging a few more words with Fregra, Erin made an excuse and hurriedly left Manhattan Central Hospital.

It wasn't until they had completely driven away from the neighborhood where the Manhattan Central Hospital was located that Erin's pounding heart gradually calmed down.

After taking a deep breath, Erin drove his Aston Martin to a secluded corner of a park.

After parking the car.

Erin took out a silver-white coin.

They started divining right inside the car.

Are there any threats in the surrounding area?

Are there any threats in the surrounding area?

········

After seven repetitions, you will see the divination result on the coin that represents "negation".

Without further hesitation, Erin directly mobilized his spirituality to leap into the Balance Space.

After safely entering the Balance Space and finding no curses or marks on himself, Erin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After letting out a breath of stale air, Erin exclaimed, "This is truly unexpected!"

Originally, Erin's trip was simply to find an executive president for Miracle Group to manage the company for him.

But unexpectedly, so many accidents happened in the end.

After a slight pause.

Erin then used the scales in the space to divine what was going on with the chill he had felt at the Manhattan Central Hospital.

Through continuous exploration, Erin discovered that although the Libra Space does not enhance Erin's divination, it can also prevent other factors from interfering with Erin's divination.

After spending two Fate Points, a round-bellied fountain pen and a notebook materialized in the Balance Space.

Without delay, Erin wrote down the divination phrase in his notebook:

"There was someone in the ward who was hostile towards me just now."

After silently reciting it seven times, Erin sat cross-legged on the slowly flowing silvery-white mist, and then, through meditation, entered his memories.

In a gloomy world of memories, Erin returned to her ward at Manhattan Central Hospital through meditation.

And this time...

Without any interference, Erin finally saw another scene in her memory.

When Fregra finished recounting Lilith's childhood experiences and fell into self-blame, Lilith, nestled in Fregra's arms, moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could speak...

A blurry black shadow suddenly appeared in the ward.

Lilith, who had originally wanted to say something to Erin, suddenly shut her mouth in fear after seeing the blurry black figure!

At this moment, through the aid of memories, Erin can better feel the little girl's deep-seated fear.

This is······

As Erin's attention continued to focus, the non-existent dark figure in Erin's memory seemed to be stripped of its mystery.

When the fog dissipated, Erin saw a woman with two faces silently observing everything in the ward.

One of the women, who looked somewhat similar to Lilith, gazed at Lilith silently with a loving look in her eyes.

On the other face of that dark figure, a ferocious-looking being was scanning the ward with eyes full of malice.

It was precisely when he felt that malicious gaze that Erin felt a chill run down his spine.

When the dark figure saw Erin, it slightly raised its right hand, as if it intended to do something to Erin.

But before it could make a move, its other hand pressed down on the slightly raised right hand, and then, accompanied by a cloud of black mist, it quickly disappeared into the room.

As the black mist dissipated, the scenes in Erin's memory shattered with a deafening roar.

Upon waking from her memories, Erin frowned slightly.

After regaining consciousness, Erin felt that the face of the dark figure he had just seen was somewhat familiar.

As a fortune teller, he quickly realized why the face looked familiar, because he had recently seen a photo and related information that resembled that face.

Kelly Elizabeth.

Lilith's mother, the woman who died in the car accident two years ago.

After recalling the woman's name, Erin quickly materialized her photograph in the Balance Dimension through his memories.

After comparing the photo with one of the faces in the shadows, Erin revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

"It really was her!"

Looking at the two almost identical faces, and the two faces that appeared on the shadow, Erin felt that he had figured out a lot of things.

"Fregora said that after the car accident two years ago, nothing like those catastrophic events happened to Lilith again."

"So, after Lilith's mother died, for some unknown reason, she merged into that terrifying shadow and, with the shadow's power, has been silently protecting her daughter."

"Judging from her action of pressing down the shadow's other hand and taking it with her as she left, Lilith's mother still has a certain degree of control over that shadow."

"Fortunately, otherwise, even if Fregra made the decision to work at Miracle Tower, I probably wouldn't have dared to treat his daughter so easily."

Thinking about this...

Erin wrote down his guesses in his notebook, then took out the silver coin he had been carrying with him recently and began to divine again.

After silently repeating it seven times, Erin opened his eyes again and saw the coin he had tossed lying quietly in his palm, heads up.

This indicates that there was sufficient prior information, and the divination was successful!

This also shows that if he were to treat Lilith, he would not encounter any threat from that dark figure.

After confirming his guess, Erin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the divination result just now indicated danger...

Without the ability to protect himself, Erin had no choice but to temporarily abandon his continued contact with Fregra.

···········

A few minutes later.

Erin wrote down the divination phrases in his notebook again and continued the divination.

But this time...

The object of Erin's divination was no longer the father and daughter Fregra and Lilith, but the Hydra leader Alexander Pierce.

············

Time flies.

Several hours later quickly arrived.

Tonight, the New York night is somewhat gloomy.

Even though there was a crescent moon overhead, patches of dark clouds obscured its bright light, and even the streetlights became dim under the layers of gloom.

At this time, Alexander Pierce was in his villa.

A somewhat disheveled Pierce stared intently at the terrifying vengeful spirit not far away, nailed to the ground by a jewel-encrusted cross.

If it weren't for the cardinal who had come to New York to search for the six-winged angel and happened to be visiting his home, he would probably have been torn to pieces by this terrifying vengeful spirit.

Thinking of this, Pierce couldn't help but glance at the various corpses lying in different positions inside the villa.

Among these corpses were elite Hydra soldiers who had protected Pierce, as well as two middle-aged knights from the Papacy.

However, tonight, both the elite Hydra soldiers and the two knights from the Holy See fell to the claws of that vengeful spirit.

If the cardinal hadn't taken out a jewel-encrusted cross, stabbed it into the vengeful spirit's body, and nailed it to the ground, Alexander Pierce would probably be one of those corpses on the ground now.

Thinking of this, Pierce unconsciously twirled the brass ring on his left pinky finger.

Pierce finally breathed a sigh of relief after the terrifying vengeful spirit, struggling and wailing, was completely burned to ashes by the holy light emanating from the cross.

After the vengeful spirit dissipated, Pierce turned his gaze to the pale-faced cardinal Canterbury, who was clutching his abdomen on the sofa.

Just now, Canterbury used that cross to nail Sadako, who had crawled out of the television and was wreaking havoc, to the ground.

But he himself was also sent flying by Sadako's final attack.

"Bishop Canterbury, are you alright? Hang in there, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Hearing Pierce's slightly concerned voice, Canterbury, enduring the pain from his massive abdominal wound, forced a wry smile and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Although Bishop Canterbury is a cardinal of the Papacy, his current status is all due to his diligent study. He is not one of the powerful ascetics in the Papacy. In terms of strength, he is not only no match for a vengeful ghost like Sadako, but even the two knights who are responsible for protecting him are much stronger than him.

If it weren't for the sacred cross passed down from the Vatican, Canterbury would have been no match for Sadako.

Even so, Canterbury, who was thrown by Sadako, felt that his kidneys were in terrible shape.

Just as Pierce braced Canterbury's hands and helped him up from the ground...

A silver-white pistol was suddenly pressed against Canterbury's back, and several shots were fired at his heart.

"Bang bang bang!"

The silver bullet easily tore Canterbury's heart apart, shattering it into a pile of fragments.

As Canterbury's body slipped from his hands, Alexander Pierce, a hint of apology on his face, knelt down and apologized to Canterbury, saying, "I'm sorry, I've been thinking about it, and I feel it's better if you're dead."

After reaching out to close Canterbury's unseeing eyes, he...

Pierce took the pistol from one of his men and then shot Canterbury in the head.

After shooting Canterbury in the head, Pierce took a white handkerchief from his jacket pocket and wiped the bloodstains off his shoes.

Then he instructed one of his men behind him, "Dispose of their bodies."

After having his men drag away Canterbury's body, Alexander walked toward the cross that had nailed the terrifying vengeful spirit not far away.

If Pierce hadn't been eyeing that cross, he really wouldn't have wanted to kill Canterbury so easily.

But before Pierce could take a single step forward...

A round of applause erupted from his villa.

"Clap clap clap!"

"What a brilliant performance! I never expected Minister Pierce to pull such a show for me at the end..."
