"I... I am..."

After hearing Robb's question, Michael seemed to think of this aspect for the first time. He started to speak several times with a confused look on his face, but somehow, he couldn't continue.

"I'm so annoyed!"

Finally, he pulled his thoughts back to reality impatiently.

He appeared here and waited for a long time just to kill Teddy, the damn bastard, to relieve his hatred.

Nothing else matters.

"Since you are looking for death, you should die with Teddy, the disgusting guy."

Michael roared from his mouth, surrounded by black air, and looked even more terrifying. He rushed towards the two men with great momentum amid Teddy's terrified screams.

Then, as fast as he came, he came back as fiercely.

Boom~~

With the sound of furniture knocking down, accompanied by the crackling of flames, Michael screamed in pain while rolling wildly on the ground.

Just an ordinary ghost.

It's OK to deal with ordinary people, but it's easy to deal with Robb, who can be regarded as a high-end fighter in the witch group.

Behind Robb, Teddy, who was screaming, noticed that his voice was covered, and then he opened his eyes and was surprised to find that Michael, who was so fierce before, was now in a mess.

Naturally, he knew who did it, but he felt that the money was too much this time, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Robb, you are so awesome!"

Robb, who was accustomed to such compliments, turned around and asked calmly: "Teddy, do you want to ask Michael for blessings again?"

"No! No!" Teddy, who had a psychological shadow, shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Robb, you should send him away quickly."

"Okay then."

No matter what, Robb, who was a ghost, still sent Michael's ghost on the road as his employer wished.

With the last unwilling howl, Michael disappeared, and was replaced by a new page in the book of shelter.

Robb glanced at the information of [No. 023].

After finding no useful information and seeing that it was just an ordinary ghost, he took it back and turned to Teddy and said:

"Michael has been dealt with, Teddy, you don't have to worry about the future."

Teddy was relieved: "That's good! That's good!"

Afterwards, Robb refused Teddy's invitation to dinner.

As he left, he happened to hear Teddy's phone ringing.

"Hey, dear..."

It was obvious that the other party on the phone was Lina, the other party involved in the "Cuckold's Wrath".

Robb shook his head.

Not interested in paying attention to this couple who no longer had anything to do with him, he closed the door, glanced at the halo monitoring posted in the center, and left.

......

"Welcome... Hey, Joseph, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are getting more and more energetic."

In Robb's paranormal detective agency, Penelope, who was preparing to welcome guests as usual, looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance, and greeted with a smile.

"Even so, it's impossible." Joseph blurted out this sentence without thinking.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Joseph shook his head repeatedly.

Looking at Penelope, who was wearing a silver-gray women's uniform and looked more cool than before, he sighed in his heart.

If it were a few days ago, you might have had a chance.

But now, I have learned that women can only affect the speed of drawing swords, and that love is far less effective than career in improving myself. I am no longer confused by desire.

"Hey, Penelope." Joseph replied again with a clear heart.

Then he looked around and asked, "Is Robb here?"

Although it was a little strange that Joseph's condition today seemed a little different from what he saw at the beginning, he couldn't be slaughtered as a big fat sheep. Penelope, who was already on the right track, didn't bother to think too much and shook her head:

"Robb is out to handle business. What's wrong? Joseph, are you okay?"

Joseph nodded: "I recently collected some old goods, and there are bad rumors about one of them. Robb is an expert in this area, and I want to ask him to check it."

He patted the backpack on his back, then thought of something, and added: "Don't worry, I know the process very well, and the reward I should give will not be reduced by a penny."

Penelope then noticed that Joseph was carrying a big thing.

"Robb is out to handle business now, and he hasn't come back yet."

"Then I'll put the things here first."

Since it's not for free, seeing that Joseph was out of breath after standing for such a short time, Penelope kindly nodded and agreed.

Joseph took off the shoulder straps.

As the backpack fell to the ground, there was a loud bang..

Penelope looked at it curiously: "What's inside?"

"A doll box with a lot of history." Joseph said.

"Doll box?"

"Yes, the Jack in the Box kind."

Hearing this, Penelope looked at Joseph and said seriously: "Joseph, are you sure the value of this thing is comparable to the reward Robb paid?"

"Of course, don't underestimate this Jack in the Box. According to my test, it is a product of the late Victorian period."

While talking with the beautiful woman who was close at hand, Joseph, whose Tao heart had just been condensed, quietly cracked. Seeing Penelope's surprised expression, he unconsciously showed a smug expression on his face and simply opened his backpack, and a large rectangular box appeared in front of the two of them.

"The whole box is made of brass. The patterns and engraved lines on the box are full of history and art. If you meet a buyer who likes it, you can definitely sell it for a lot of money!"

Joseph was very excited when he thought that he could sell it for dozens or hundreds of times the price after reselling it for only one hundred dollars.

Penelope couldn't appreciate art or anything like that.

But she knew a little about Jack in the Box.

To put it bluntly, it was a scary thing.

By turning the handle switch outside the box, the lid of the box opened little by little.

Until it reached the critical value.

With a "bang", the lid of the box opened quickly, and a clown doll named "Jack" suddenly jumped out from inside, which scared you who were looking forward to the treasure inside.

When Penelope was a child, her friends had played a prank on her with Jack in the Box.

It was just a little different from what she remembered.

Penelope squatted down and looked left and right at the tightly sealed brass box in front of her. Her plump legs in flesh-colored stockings were tightly stretched. After confirming that it was correct, she asked in confusion:

"Where is the handle responsible for shaking the box?"

How can the box be opened without a handle?

Joseph coughed and quickly pointed to the top of the box, where there were three twisting gears with letters engraved on them one after another.

He explained: "This is the combination lock of the box. I think the handle should appear after the combination is unlocked."

"Joseph, have you ever unlocked the combination?" Penelope said.

Joseph spread his hands: "That's the problem."
