Chapter 327 Borrowing

After half an hour.

Erin met Lilith at the Miracle Building.

To better protect Lilith's safety, Fregra placed her in a small room reinforced with steel plates on the second basement level of the Miracle Building.

It was originally a lounge specially built for Dr. Banner.

However, after Dr. Banner was able to control his anger, the small room was abandoned.

It's not because of anything else.

It's just that after Betty moved in, Dr. Banner and the others felt that the room was too small, which affected their performance.

Although it wasn't enough for Dr. Banner, after some modifications, it was more than enough to serve as Lilith's safe house.

Under Fregra's protection, Lilith was completely unaware of the war taking place outside.

When Erin met her, she was intently staring at "Tom and Jerry" on the computer, her eyes glued to the screen.

Compared to the emaciated little girl Erin first saw in the hospital, Lilith now exudes a vibrant energy that is almost indistinguishable from other little girls her age, except for her still somewhat thin frame.

However, the moment Erin saw Lilith...

His eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously activated his spiritual vision.

Upon seeing this, Erin frowned.

Fregra, who had come down with Erin and was about to open the small door of the safe house to call Lilith, keenly noticed the change in Erin's expression.

As if instinctively sensing something, Fregra felt a pang of anxiety and subconsciously asked:

"What's wrong with Lilith?"

Watching Fregrana grip the doorknob with his right hand, unconsciously increasing the pressure.

Erin said in a deep voice, "The aura of calamity in Lilith's body had been brought under control after repeated healing and purification with holy light, and it had maintained a certain balance in the process of growth and reduction. But now that balance has been broken."

Has the balance been broken?

Fregra's expression changed upon hearing this.

Seeing Fregra's face change color instantly, Erin released a wave of mental energy, calming Fregra's emotions while speaking:

"Don't worry, I just checked. It's not that Lilith's body has any problems. It's just that after this disaster, New York is filled with an aura of calamity, and this aura of calamity is attracted by Lilith's constitution and continuously gathers into her body, which is why the balance in Lilith's body has been broken."

Hearing this, Fregra frowned and asked, "So, does that mean that as long as Lilith leaves New York, the corruption of those calamities will be resolved?"

Erin nodded upon hearing this.

"While this doesn't completely solve Lilith's problem, it's definitely not suitable for Lilith to stay in New York any longer. At least until the ominous aura surrounding New York dissipates, it's not advisable for Lilith to remain in New York for the time being."

"I understand," Fregra said. "I'll arrange a car to take Lilith away from New York in a bit."

Looking at Fregra, whose eyes were filled with worry, Erin said, "You and Lilith can leave together then. I'll have Kiris help manage the group for a while. If any problems arise, you can control it remotely. Oh, and before you leave, ask Kiris for a team of elite soldiers to protect you and Lilith."

Upon hearing this, a hint of shame flashed in Fregra's eyes. After the Battle of New York, Miracle Corporation desperately needed him as CEO, but he...

But Lilith.

Just as Fregra was struggling with his decision, Erin chuckled and patted Fregra on the shoulder, then said, "What's wrong? Just because you're not in New York, you can't handle the company's affairs anymore?"

"Of course not."

Seeing Fregra speak without thinking, Erin said, "If that's the case, then that's fine."

"But if I were there, many things would be handled much better."

Upon hearing this, Erin looked through the glass window of the door at Lilith, who was dressed up like a little angel by Fregra, and said, "Alright, don't worry about these things. In my eyes, that little girl who calls me brother is much more important than some trivial matters at the company. If you feel bad about it, you can make up for it by working overtime later."

"Besides, I've asked Lilith for help this time. If it really doesn't work, just think of it as me giving you a day off because of Lilith."

As he spoke, Erin opened the small door to the safe house.

Tick!

The sound of the safe house being unlocked rang out.

Lilith, who was watching Jerry beat up Tom, immediately turned to look at the doorway.

Upon seeing Erin and Fregra walk in from outside the door.

A sweet smile immediately bloomed on Lilith's face.

"Dad, Brother Erin, you're here."

As she spoke, Lilith turned around and jumped off the chair, then turned to Erin and Fregra.

But just as Lilith turned around excitedly, her long, flowing golden hair, due to inertia, knocked over a glass of milk on the table with a thud.

It spun around on the table once.

The glass that held the milk shattered on the ground with a loud crash.

Tiny shards of glass flew everywhere, with several even shooting towards Erin and Fregra's eyes.

The milk dripping from the table was flowing along the computer cables, heading towards the sockets filled with computer cables.

Enveloped in that aura of calamity, Lilith's seemingly unintentional action actually brewed a deadly intent.

However, this deadly situation was not yet fully unleashed.

Erin instantly dodged, sweeping away the shards of glass that were shooting towards his and Fregra's eyes.

He also casually unplugged the computer cable, which was stained with milk, from the socket on the wall.

Followed by.

Erin's spiritual energy surged, and he swept the scattered glass shards on the ground into the corners on both sides of the safe house.

After doing all this.

Erin picked up Lilith, who was standing barefoot on the ground, trembling all over, her eyes filled with terror.

Although Erin quickly eliminated all the unintentional dangers, that strangely familiar scene instantly evoked Lilith's past memories and fears.

But just then...

A warm energy suddenly flowed from Erin's palm, then spread rapidly along Lilith's back to all parts of her body.

That warm, comforting feeling, like a mother's embrace, not only warmed Lilith but also opened her pores, expelling the accumulating evil energy from her body.

Through a mid-level Holy Light healing, Erin not only soothed the fear and unease in Lilith's heart, but also expelled most of the calamity energy that was binding Lilith.

Bathed in holy light, Lilith squinted her eyes contentedly.

It was long after the Holy Light of the Intermediate Holy Light Heal had dissipated.

Lilith then opened her eyes again.

After gently stroking Lilith's now-glossy golden hair, Erin asked softly, "How are you, Lilith? Are you feeling any better?"

"My body feels warm and comfortable, and I'm not so scared anymore."

After nodding her head earnestly, Lilith asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Brother Erin, just now... was my bad luck coming back again?"

Feeling Lilith's small hand unconsciously gripping the hem of his clothes, Erin gently patted Lilith's back and said, "Of course not."

After giving a remarkably firm denial, Erin said, "Lilith, do you remember why your father wanted you to stay here?"

Lilith tilted her head and thought for a second before saying, "Dad said it's dangerous and unsafe outside, so he told me to stay with Uncle Banner for a few days until it's safe outside before going home."

"Your father is right. During the two days you stayed here, aliens invaded Earth and caused a huge disaster. Although the aliens were repelled, New York is now filled with the aura of disaster. Your constitution is a bit special. If you continue to stay here, that aura of disaster will cling to you and make you unlucky. So your father and I plan to take you to other cities for a vacation first. After the aura of disaster in New York dissipates, we will bring you back. That way, that aura of disaster won't find you, and you won't be unlucky. Lilith, what do you say?"

This is a little girl who grew up amidst one disaster after another, and is exceptionally intelligent and strong.

Erin didn't try to hide it, because sometimes, doing so would only hurt Lilith.

After listening to what Erin said.

Lilith turned to look at her father, then asked in a clear voice, "If it's a vacation, will Daddy go too?"

Upon hearing this, Erin playfully scratched Lilith's nose and said with a smile, "Of course, if your father doesn't go, who will take care of you, little girl?"

"However, before you and your father go on vacation, I want to ask you for a favor. Well, it's nothing difficult. Just give me a few strands of your hair and lend me the bad luck that has been plaguing you these past few days."

Erin had just finished speaking.

Lilith then pulled several strands of hair from her head.

The swift and decisive movements made Fregra's face twitch with heartache.

After handing a small clump of hair to Erin, Lilith said, "Brother Erin, is this enough? If not, Lilith will pluck a little more. But unfortunately, Lilith doesn't want to lend it to Brother Erin, because Lilith doesn't want anything to happen to Brother Erin."

"Brother Erin won't get into any trouble."

Hearing this, Erin smiled and ruffled Lilith's hair.

"Besides, Lilith has no choice but to lend it this time. Brother Erin is counting on your bad luck aura to save Sister Gwen."

Using the aura of misfortune, go and save Gwen.

How can misfortune save people?

Upon hearing this, Lilith's large, watery eyes filled with confusion.

Erin easily read Lilith's thoughts from her small face, but Erin didn't say much to them.

"Brother didn't lie to you. Your sister Gwen is trapped in a place that requires a certain amount of bad luck to enter. So, in order to save Gwen, I came to ask you for help. Hmm, it can also instantly remove the bad luck on you, killing two birds with one stone."

Upon hearing this, Lilith tilted her head and thought for a few seconds before saying, "If that's the case, Lilith can lend her bad luck to Brother Erin, but Lilith doesn't know how to lend her bad luck to Brother Erin."

"As long as you agree, the rest is up to Brother Erin."

After obtaining Lilith's consent, Erin chatted with Fregra next to him for a while, and then cleared out a relatively open space in the room.

They then began to set up a mysterious magical ritual.

From beginning to end, Erin had no intention of taking Lilith to Hawaii to help him find the strange storm and mysterious cruise ship that had trapped Gwen and the others.

Because no one knows what kind of risks exist in that strange storm space and mysterious cruise ship.

This little girl is already unfortunate enough, and Erin doesn't want to make her even more unfortunate because of her.

As for what would happen if Lilith's calamity constitution entered that storm, Erin was unsure.

just.

After being promoted to Faceless Man.

Erin learned a mysterious knowledge from the potion that could be used through a mysterious ritual to temporarily "replace" a person's fate and become "him" in a short period of time.

This ability is somewhat similar to the function of [Perfect Human Skin], but it is not as powerful as [Perfect Human Skin].

Not only is the duration short, but the consent of the person being "replaced" is also required.

However, with the added power of the Faceless Man, Erin was confident that he could use this to "trick" away the eerie storm.

Even to confirm the feasibility of this plan.

Erin even did a divination in the Libra space.

············

A few minutes later.

Amidst a pile of white candles arranged in two intersecting rings, Erin and Lilith sat on opposite sides of each ring.

Once everything is ready.

Erin's eyes suddenly darkened, and then, in the friction between the spiritual and the material, orange-red flames immediately lit up on the white candles.

"for!"

It was accompanied by a vast and ancient syllable.

In an unknown space above Erin and Lilith's heads, a phantom image made up of countless interwoven eyeballs began to emerge, but it was not yet fully formed.

A silver-white scale suddenly appeared, crushing the eerie phantom composed of countless interwoven eyeballs into ashes.

Immediately afterwards, a gray light flashed on the silver scales.

Parts of Erin's and Lilith's fates were placed on opposite sides of a scale, and then instantly swapped.

Just as the ceremony was completed.

A feeling that could not be described suddenly arose in Lilith's heart, as if the gloom that had been hanging over her heart had been swept away.

It gave Lilith an unprecedented sense of relaxation and a long-lost tranquility.
