Kill through American horror, starting from the witches' coven.

"Hurry...kill him!" At the same time, Teddy, who had learned his lesson, took a few breaths and hurriedly grabbed Robb.

Robb nodded casually, pulled Teddy behind him, and said calmly to Michael, "It's just a ghost, don't be so arrogant."

Although he felt a little sympathetic towards Michael's situation, he knew what to do and stood in front of Teddy and said to Michael:

"Let me ask you a question first. How did you end up in this state? Staying in reality? Or crawling out of hell?"

Ghosts are different from demons whose status is much higher than others.

With their much weaker strength, it is possible that they can be summoned into reality.

Robb was curious about Michael.

It was especially strange that the other party could only come in after opening the door in the house, rather than at any time or place, and even appeared in front of the other party when Teddy was out.

Chapter 141 The Clown in the Box

"I...I am..."

Hearing Robb's question, Michael seemed to have thought of this 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 sick!"

Finally, impatiently, he brought his thoughts back to reality.

I appeared here and waited for a long time just to kill Teddy, the damn bastard, to relieve the hatred in my heart.

Nothing else matters.

"Since you are seeking death, why don't you die together with this disgusting guy Teddy?"

A roar came out of Michael's mouth, and black air surrounded him, making him look even more terrifying. Amid Teddy's terrified screams, he pounced on the two of them with great momentum.

Then, as fast as he came, he came back just as hard.

Boom~~

Amid the noise of furniture being knocked over and the crackling of flames, Michael rolled wildly on the ground and screamed in pain.

Just an ordinary ghost.

It's okay to deal with ordinary people, but when it comes to dealing with someone like Robb, who can be considered a high-end fighter in the wizarding group, it is naturally easy to defeat him.

Behind Robb, Teddy, who was screaming, noticed that his voice was covered. He opened his eyes and was surprised to find that Michael, who was so ferocious before, was now in a miserable state.

Naturally, he knew who had done this, and he felt that the money was well spent this time, so he quickly said, "Mr. Robb, you are amazing!"

Robb, who was used to such compliments, turned around and asked calmly, "Teddy, do you want to ask Michael for his blessing again?"

"No! No need!" Teddy, who was traumatized, shook his head again and again. "Mr. Robb, you should send him away as soon as possible."

"That's fine."

No matter what, Robb, who knew that humans and ghosts would eventually go their separate ways, still sent Michael's ghost on the road as his employer wished.

With a final howl of unwillingness, Michael disappeared, replaced by a new page in the book of containment.

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

After finding no useful information and finding it to be 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 what happens next."

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

Afterwards, Robb refused Teddy's invitation to dinner.

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

"Hey, honey..."

It was obvious that the person on the other end of the phone was Lina, another party involved in the "Cuckold Wrath" incident.

Robb shook his head.

Not interested in paying any more attention to this couple who had nothing to do with him anymore, he closed the door, glanced at the halo surveillance camera posted in the center, and left.

……

"Welcome... Hey, Joseph, I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to be getting more energetic."

In Robb's Paranormal Detective Agency, Penelope was preparing to greet guests as usual. When she looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance, she 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 in front of him, who was wearing a silver-gray women's uniform and looked even cooler than before, he sighed in his heart.

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

But now, I have already realized that women will only affect the speed of drawing the sword, and that love is far less conducive to self-improvement than career, and I am no longer confused by mere desires.

"Hey, Penelope." Joseph replied calmly.

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 had seen before, he couldn't be slaughtered as a fat sheep. Penelope, who was already on the right track, didn't bother to think too much and shook her head.

"Robb has gone to take care of business. Why? Joseph, are you busy?"

Joseph nodded. "I recently collected some old stuff, and one of the items has some bad rumors. Robb is an expert in this area, so I would like to ask him to check it out."

He patted the backpack on his back, then thought of something and added, "Don't worry, I know the process very well, and I will not reduce the compensation by a cent."

Only then did Penelope notice that Joseph was carrying something large on his back.

"Robb is out on business right now and hasn't come back yet."

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

Since it wasn't a free ride, seeing that Joseph was out of breath after standing for such a short while, Penelope kindly nodded in agreement.

Joseph removed the shoulder straps.

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

Penelope took a curious look and asked, "What's in there?"

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

"A doll box?"

"Yeah, 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 testing, it is a late Victorian product."

While talking with the beautiful woman who was so close to him, 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 came into view of the two of them.

"The entire box is made of brass. The patterns and engraved lines on the box are full of history and artistic sense. If you meet a buyer who likes it, it will definitely sell for a high price!"

Joseph spent only a hundred dollars to find such an antique. He was very excited when he thought that he could sell it for dozens or even hundreds of times the price.

Penelope couldn't appreciate art.

But she still knows a little bit about Jack in the Box.

To put it bluntly, it's just a scary thing.

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

until it reaches the critical value.

With a "bang", the lid of the box quickly opens, and a clown doll named "Jack" suddenly jumps out, giving you a big fright as you are expecting some treasure inside.

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

It's just a little different from what she remembered.

Looking at the tightly sealed brass box in front of her, Penelope squatted down. She looked left and right with her plump legs in flesh-colored stockings tightly stretched. After confirming that there was no doubt, she said in confusion:

"Where's the handle that turns the box on and off?"

How do you open the box 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 after the combination is solved, the handle should appear."

"Joseph, have you ever cracked the code?" Penelope asked.

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

Chapter 142 JACK

"Although I am confident that I can crack the combination lock, this box itself has some very bad rumors. If an evil ghost comes out of it, I'm done for." Joseph said with his hands spread out.

Before he met Robb, he would have scoffed at strange stories and legends about demons, ghosts, and the like.

But having Robb, the master of exorcism, as his neighbor, and having personally experienced a "haunted" incident, he had to be wary of similar horror legends.

Of course, sometimes having no money is scarier than encountering ghosts.

This is also the reason why he gritted his teeth and bought this box full of doom.

Even if you really encounter a ghost, there is a real exorcist by your side to protect you.

Hearing what Joseph said, Penelope looked at the brass doll box again. Having just experienced the devil herself a few days ago, her face tightened and she hurriedly asked:

"What's the rumor about this box?"

Joseph looked at the doll box, swallowed his saliva and said, "It is rumored that very strange and ominous things happened to the previous owners of this box. Many people disappeared mysteriously, or their bodies were never found. It is said...it is said that there is a man-eating evil ghost hidden in this box. Whenever people open the box, it will start to eat people. It will not return to the box until it has eaten six people, and then wait for the next opening of the box."

Finally, he pointed to a circle of stripes around the combination lock on the top of the box, and saw that the numbers "1" to "6" were engraved on it.

At this point the pointer does not point to any number.

Penelope took it all in and took a deep breath.

Regardless of whether the rumors about the box were true or not, she regretted letting Joseph leave the box here.

With her small arms and legs, she was so unlucky to have met the evil spirit, but she couldn't manipulate it at will like Robb did.

Speaking of ghosts, demons and the like, can they be seduced by sex?

Penelope looked at her voluptuous figure highlighted by her slim-fitting shirt and suit skirt.

Then she looked at Joseph, who was standing beside her with a big belly.

Having received some instruction from Robb, she gained some confidence.

If I can’t outrun a ghost, I can still outrun you!

Because of Joseph's ghost story, the atmosphere in the office was a little subtle at the moment.

Joseph noticed this and smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, it's just a legend, don't take it seriously. Besides, don't worry even if it's true. I've been carrying it for so long, and nothing has happened. As long as we don't open the box, it'll be fine."

What else could Penelope say but nodded.

"Let's put the box back on first."

As she spoke, she zipped up her backpack, trying to cover the brass doll box, out of sight and out of mind.

Inadvertently, her palm touched the surface of the box.

"I'm here to help."

Joseph said, preparing to lend a hand.

suddenly!
