Merlin's question was ultimately unanswered.

He didn't need to answer either.

Because that question is left to Frank himself, if he can rely on himself to get the answer, then all the doubts in his mind will be explained, and it may take him some time to get the answer.

"Go ahead, I'll take care of Russo."

At the door of the mystery house, Merlin patted the somewhat apprehensive punisher on the shoulder, and he said softly:

"Go and meet your family, I heard that today is your son's birthday, you can't do this, to be a good father, you can't miss these important days, no matter what reason you have."

"I know, you're afraid you're out of control and hurting them, but listen to me, Frank."

Merlin reached out and held the lock of any door in the Mystery, and he said to Frank:

"You are now like a tattered ship, sailing in the stormy waters of the spiritual world, and those malice hidden under the angry waters want to overturn your ship and plunge you into icy madness, with no possibility of redemption."

"And what you have to do now is not to rely on this broken ship to fight the sea, but to return to the harbor of your heart, and repair this ship with warm and beautiful hope, so that it will be stronger enough to withstand all storms."

Merlin chuckled, and he pushed the door open.

What appeared in front of Frank's eyes was the road in front of his home, separated only by a sunset road, and he could even see his son and daughter running through the window.

He heard Merlin say to him:

"I know that you sailors always love the sea, love the challenge, and enjoy the passion of the battle, but you always need a harbor where you can rest at ease."

"Go, be with your family, don't resist the duty of a man's birthright mission, protect your wife and children, meet all their demands, and shelter them from the elements."

"A man with a family is complete, this is a little advice from someone who has come to you."

"Smack"

Still hesitating, Frank was pushed out by Merlin.

He staggered from the mystery house into the real world, standing across the road from his door.

The setting sun shone on him, and the halo like a burning flame made the veteran who was full of holes in his heart feel the warmth he had not felt for a long time.

"Smack"

Something was left at Frank's feet, and he looked down to see that it was a wrapped gift, the most popular miniature robot of the moment, and the children's favorite toy.

This is what Merlin prepared for him, today is his son's birthday, how can the old father who came from afar come back empty-handed?

"Every Wednesday night at 12 o'clock, come to the mystery house to treat your broken soul, your disease is very tricky, so Dr. Merlin's medical advice to you is, eat well, rest assured, about 4 courses of treatment, a total of 16 months, you can return to purity."

"It should be noted that during this period, suppress your desires, stop devouring other people, and if you can't suppress them, find something else to distract you, you and your wife haven't made people for years, right?"

Dr. Merlin's voice ringed in Frank's ears with a teasing voice, and he said:

"Regularity in sexual intercourse is the only way to ensure harmony between husband and wife, so, without further ado, relive the good times tonight, oh, and don't forget to do protective measures, because of your physique, this is very important."

"Smack"

The sound of the door closing sounded behind a dazed Frank.

He looked back at the empty lawn behind him, reached out and lifted the gift box at his feet, he took a deep breath, and straightened the suit on his body, which was kindly provided by Merlin.

Frank, who was muscular and bear-backed, was still a little tight.

He crossed the street, intending to go home, but he suddenly remembered Merlin's advice just now, and subconsciously touched his lower abdomen, and after hesitating for a few seconds, Frank used force under his feet and disappeared in place at a very fast speed like a ghost.

A few minutes later, he had an extra box of things in his pocket.

Well, for tonight.

Since he is a patient, he must follow the doctor's instructions, even though the doctor does not seem very serious.

"Ding Dong"

The doorbell rang, and a few seconds later, the door was opened amid the noisy shouts of the children.

Little Frank, who was wearing a birthday hat and had cream on the corner of his mouth, appeared in front of old Frank.

He looked at his father standing outside the door, blocking the sunlight with a surprised expression, his face was a little dull, but soon, a smile was drawn on the child's face.

That pure, affectionate smile made Frank's heart feel like he had been hit by a bell.

"Daddy!"

The little boy screamed and pounced, but Frank picked it up with precision and lifted it effortlessly and rested it on his solid shoulder.

Frank walked out of the room with the present.

He closed the door casually, looked back at his daughter Lisa at the dining table, and his wife Maria, who was busy in the kitchen with a cane, and he looked at the surprised eyes of his family, and could feel the welcome and joy of his family.

He took a deep breath and met those eyes head-on for the first time, and he said:

"It's a bit of a surprise, but... Hello everyone, I'm back. ”

—————————————

"It's really moving, this kind of happy scene for the whole family."

In the mystery house, the Raven Lord looked at the picture displayed on the circular projection in front of him, and watched the scene where Frank was holding his wife and celebrating the birthday of the child, and he said to Xuanlan beside him:

"That Soul Purification Ritual Circle in the treatment room can still be used, right?"

"Can be can, but if it's Frank. In Casul's case, he needs to make adjustments. ”

Xuanlan was still wearing the black and white tuxedo housekeeper outfit and monocles, but now she was holding the sleeping little Jonathan with both hands, shaking her arms gently, and replied:

"His problem is actually quite serious, it's definitely not just as easy as you make it lightly, why don't you tell him the truth?"

"Why do you say that?"

Merlin put down the teacup in his hand, and said:

"It's not so easy to control the black light virus, and Frank is now like standing on the edge of chaos and order, and a push can give him a new life or never recover."

"His fate depends entirely on the onlookers' thoughts, this strong-willed old friend of mine has worked hard enough, we can help him, so let's help."

"He's got to this point on his own, and all we have to do is spend a little more time and energy."

The Raven Lord let out a sigh of relief, he waved his hand to dissipate the projection in front of him, and he said to Xuanlan:

"There are enough monsters in this world, and there is no point in having one more, but a hero who can move towards justice and order can make this world a better place, even if it is only a little bit."

"Speaking of which, there's one more guest in today's appointment, right?"

Merlin glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and it was already 19:23 in the afternoon, and he frowned and said:

"He's almost half an hour late, whose time does that guy think he's wasting?"

Xuanlan glanced at Merlin, and she said:

"Do you want to rush? After all, that guy is important to your plans. ”

"Well, let's push it."

With his eyes closed, the raven waved his hand and said:

"Wait another 7 minutes, if he doesn't come again... It's the same with a corpse. ”

"Anyway, all I need is genes..."

——————————

Sulphur Harbor, a nightclub run by Mandy, the little succubus, is not yet open for nightclubs, but some regular customers have already arrived one after another.

These aliens from all races, as well as some humans who came to join in the fun or see the world, sat in the bar outside the nightclub, chatting to pass the time, waiting for the nightclub to open.

Mandy, dressed in a red bunny girl outfit with big bunny ears, dazzling black stockings, and high heels, stood behind the bar bartending to a few customers.

Her face was full of a pitiful smile, quite dusty.

This little succubus is now an important figure in the third dynasty of the demons, and has served as the first consul for a few months.

But because the business level is too bad, and he is too salty, he was ousted from power by the immortal queen Xia Kela.

But this shameful thing is not a big problem for Mandy.

She was so happy that she simply threw all the things on New York's alien reservation to her companions, another of Merlin's followers, Luther the Silverhand Fallen.

He hid in Sulphur Harbor and continued to be his nightclub manager.

To be honest, being so "indifferent to fame and fortune", this little succubus can be regarded as a legend in the alien world of the East Coast.

"Bang"

The door to the bar was slammed open.

Dressed in black leather and carrying a black ray gun larger than his body, Rocket Raccoon strode into the bar, with a small, cute tree man sitting on his shoulder.

It was young Groot.

After returning to Earth, the little treemen received the best nutritional supplies and grew quickly, but after a single death, Groot still has a long way to go before he can return to adulthood.

Carrying a gun, the murderous Rocket Raccoon strode to the bar, jumped to the bar with quick movements, grabbed a handful of Mandy's towering chest, and then whispered to his ex-girlfriend:

"Isn't that nuisance Quill here?"

"Star-Lord, you say."

Mandy was a succubus, and she didn't care about the Rocket's constant rubbing of oil on her chest, she smiled and reached out to flick the little tree Groot's head, and then said to the Rocket:

"That guy spent the night at my place last night, and he should still be sleeping in the box."

"You don't have anything to do with him..."

Rocket's eyes widened suddenly, and it looked at Mandy suspiciously, who crossed his waist and straightened up in dissatisfaction, which made Mandy's plump chest shake up and down, making the drinkers next to him look straight in the eyes.

"Click"

The ray gun in Rocket's hand immediately pointed at the guys who were staring at his ex-girlfriend with squinting eyes, and several low-level vampires immediately fled.

"Hey! You guy! ”

Seeing that the rocket drove away his guests, the little succubus screamed dissatisfiedly:

"We've broken up, can you leave my private life alone? You're such a nuisance! Go to your Quill and don't bother me with my business. ”

Two minutes later, at Mandy's yelling, the Rocket Raccoon, shrugging his ears and tail, kicked open the door to the box.

As a result, I saw Peter in disheveled clothes. Quill was lying on the couch and falling asleep.

Beside that guy, there are two young ladies who are also in rags, a baby-faced girl, and a vampire with heavy makeup.

"Tut, I'm really going to enjoy life."

Rocket scoffed a few times, and moments later, at the sound of Quill's screams, the guy was dragged out of the box by Rocket's shoulder, and the little tree Groot smiled and took out a key and opened the door to the mystery house.

"Bang"

Still in a hangover, Lord Star-Lord, who has made a name for himself in Brimstone Harbor in recent weeks, has been left on the cold floor of the Mystery.

The drunken Quill looked up and saw the Raven Maharaja sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of tea and looking at him with an indifferent, dead-like gaze.

"You wasted 39 minutes on me."

Merlin stared at Quill, and that cold sword-like look made Quill sober up immediately.

He said:

"If you can't bring me good news, then I'm definitely going to be very irritable, and trust me, Quill, you won't want to see me irritable."

"Click"

The very dog-legged Rocket Raccoon pulled out his gun behind Quill and pointed it at Quill with a muzzle larger than Quiel's fist, and in a sharp and threatening tone:

"Raven-sama has something to ask you, Quill, and you'd better answer with your heart."

The double threat before and after made the bewildered Quill immediately raise his hands, he half-knelt on the ground, and said loudly:

"Hi, calm down, guys, calm down."

"I don't know what's going on yet, can anyone explain it to me."

Merlin shook his head, he was a little disappointed by the guy in front of him who exuded a decadent aura all over his body, it was hard for him to imagine that such a guy would be the legendary son of the gods.

Luther, the fallen angel, should have conveyed the news to Quill yesterday that "the ravens are invited", but this guy dared not take it seriously, his own time may be meaningless, but Merlin's time is very precious.

What a burnout guy!

Raven stood up and walked up to Quill, and said:

"Peter. Jason. Quill, I ask you, do you know who your father is? ”

"I don't know."

Quill pouted and said:

"But I can probably guess that it should be an alien or something, I've been looking in the galaxy for so many years, and there is no news."

"Buzz"

Raven's fingers spread, and a purple glow bloomed before Quill's eyes.

The irregularly shaped rough stone of power floated in the crow's palm, and the halo it emitted swirled around the raven's fingers like flames, burning but completely unable to hurt Merlin's skin.

"This thing, the Power Gem, you should have seen it, or heard of it."

"If the strength is less than that of the Heavenly Father, or there is no special bloodline, there is only one end for rashly touching it, and the soul and body will be incinerated to ashes at the same time."

Merlin looked at Quill, his tone becoming colder, and he said:

"I was going to test it in a gentler way, but because you're wasting my time, I decided to be a little more direct... The time has come to verify your father's identity, and I think you're curious about it. ”

"So... Hold it, Quill! ”

"You can see the truth you've been looking for, or you can die a painful death."

"After all, if you dare to release the dove of the Maharaja of Hell, you will have to pay the price."
