Chapter 1811

~11 min read 2,095 words

"When I was studying at Kamar-Taj, what I was most interested in was mysticism and folklore. I finished reading most of the human books of this kind in the library and was proficient in Eastern and Western rituals of inviting gods and summoning ghosts."

Helen pointed to the pattern drawn with fresh blood on the ground. Eddie followed her finger and saw that it was an inverted pentagram with a goat head pattern drawn in the middle.

"This is the most common magic circle for summoning demons in the West. Look here, don't underestimate this circle of runes. These are special symbols that can mark the identity of demons, which is equivalent to the phone numbers of demons."

"But Shiler is not a demon. Does he also have a phone number?"

"Uh, even if he has one, I don't know it." Helen shook her head and said: "After all, if you can really make a phone call, why do you still need to draw a magic circle."

"Then what is this you wrote?" Eddie frowned and looked at the large pile of complex runes written on the outer circle of the pentagram.

"The outer circle is written with 'Doctor, come quickly, there is a lot of money, a lot of gold, and a mental patient ghost with difficult and complicated diseases for sale. First come, first served. If you want to be cured, hurry up.' The inner circle is written with 'Almighty Dr. Shiler is above, hurry up and think of a way to clean up this mess. I want to go home and sleep. Please, please, help, help, help'."

"Cough cough cough..."

Eddie was almost choked to death by his own saliva. He glared at Helen and asked: "Will you write the answer to the essay question in the name column during the exam?"

"Then what can I do? Just like you said, Shiler is not a demon, and I don't know what his mystical code is. I can only try this method."

Helen took out a pen from that large pile of packages, then tied the tail of the pen with a fishing line and hung it on the ceiling. She said: "This is a ritual of inviting gods from the East. It is said that it can attach the invited spirit to the pen."

"And this." Helen took out a dish and a slate again, saying: "These are tools for inviting gods, and the method of use is very simple. Just put it there and recite the spell in your mouth."

"But considering that we use a lot of methods, the spells will be recited uniformly later. I will put the sacrificial offerings first."

Helen began to rummage in the shopping bag again, saying while rummaging: "Rituals of inviting gods and summoning ghosts all over the world need sacrificial offerings, but I am not sure which cultural field Shiler's soul should belong to, so I bought all the sacrificial offerings I knew."

"Asgardian culture originated from the Viking people. For maritime people, livestock is quite precious, but we will also offer the rarest and fattest fish."

"Fresh livestock cannot be found, so I bought some frozen chicken wings. Fish can be bought as a whole in the fresh food area, but I heard that Dr. Shiler likes to eat sashimi, so I went to the Japanese food area and bought some salmon and tuna slices."

"In Eastern culture, people like to put fruits and pastries on the tribute table, and also light incense. I bought the oranges that Dr. Shiler likes to eat most."

"The supermarket doesn't sell Eastern pastries, but I have seen Dr. Shiler eat brownies before, so I bought a small piece."

"That kind of incense in the East is rare on the East Coast, and Chinatown is too far away, so I bought two cigars to make do. As for wine, just use ordinary red wine."

"I have seen half a bottle of Coke in the doctor's refrigerator before. It might have been drunk by Peter, but anyway, I bought it together."

"In Christian culture, God accepted the meat and fat offered by Abel. We already have meat. I really didn't find animal oil in the supermarket, so I bought a bottle of olive oil. I have seen Dr. Shiler use this brand when cooking before."

Helen rummaged in the bag again and continued: "In addition, no matter which country, the soul-summoning ritual must put the things that the soul liked most before death."

Helen sprinkled the gold she bought evenly around the magic circle, and then took out a stack of banknotes and began to sprinkle money in the room.

Finally, she took out a pile of boxes from the bottom of the shopping bag. Eddie leaned over to look, but found that it was actually the superhero figures sold in the supermarket.

Inside the box was a full set of Avengers, including Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Widow, etc.

Helen symmetrically placed these toy figures in the center of the magic circle, and then put her hands together and began to pray.

"Great, uh, uh... Alright, Dr. Shiler, we don't need to talk about those polite words between us."

"To tell the truth, I have some trouble that I can't handle. If you can hear it, you must come over to help me. If it succeeds, I will let my father increase the next quarter's medical expenses by 20% when I go back..."

Eddie slapped his forehead.

He looked at the messy magic circle on the ground and was speechless. To tell the truth, this doesn't look like a sacrificial scene of a cult ritual, but a bit like a second-hand market. It doesn't look like it can summon demons or ghosts, but it looks like it can summon neighbors who are greedy for cheap things.

To be honest, as soon as this pile of things on the ground was put up, Eddie didn't feel cold on his body, and his back didn't feel cold. His eyes were full of the crowds of people grabbing toilet paper in the supermarket before the disaster weather arrived.

Can this summon ghosts? Eddie thought in surprise. At this time, he and Venom hugged their arms in unison, stretched out a foot and tapped on the ground, just waiting to watch the joke.

Inside the head of Galactus floating in space, Shiler, who was floating in mid-air, now had only one feeling—what the hell is this noise?

Originally, he was eating hot pot and singing songs, floating in mid-air happily, scaring Stark while watching him work.

Turning into a ghost in the high tower is indeed useless, but the biggest tenet Shiler believes in is that not everything in this world has to be useful; it's fine as long as it's fun.

The biggest disadvantage of ghosts in fighting is having no physical form, but it became the biggest advantage when watching fun. Shiler had no physical form, so Stark couldn't hit him. Isn't this how to win no matter how you argue?

Stark is now experiencing a ghost revenge in person. He is working here, and Shiler is giving him psychological treatment on the side. Doing treatment is fine, but Shiler is flying around in the sky, drawing an S for a while, and drawing a B for a while.

Don't misunderstand, the "SB" here refers to "Stark Brilliant".

Stark has been so angry that he broke three wrenches. Otherwise, why say Shiler is premeditating revenge? He breaks one, and the gray mist can spit out one.

Just when Stark decided that he couldn't bear it anymore and didn't need to bear it anymore, the second before the outbreak, Shiler suddenly stopped in mid-air and then showed a puzzled expression.

Then he began to fly randomly without a trajectory, looking here and there, as if looking for something.

"What are you doing?" Stark looked back at Shiler, who was almost flying out, and said.

"I seem to have heard someone say in my ear, where there is a lot of money, a lot of patients, or something like that." Shiler looked left and right in confusion and then said.

"Now, who is mentally abnormal?" Stark snorted coldly, but soon buried his head in work again. He wanted to take advantage of Shiler's quiet time to finish the key parts quickly.

Suddenly, Shiler screamed, scaring Stark into knocking a part broken with a "dang". He turned to look at Shiler and said: "What's wrong with you again?"

Shiler stared straight ahead and said: "I saw a large pile of delicious food, sashimi with wasabi soy sauce, Coke chicken wings, olive oil pan-fried salmon, orange mulled wine, brownies... all are dishes I love to eat, and I also smelled the fragrance."

"You wouldn't have turned into a ghost and caused some problems, would you?" Stark narrowed his eyes and said: "Where is there food here?"

"Wait." Shiler raised his tone and said: "I saw a large pile of gold and banknotes just thrown on the ground. Unowned property, buddy!"

Shiler couldn't help but float in one direction. Stark realized something was wrong. He shouted in Shiler's direction: "Shiler! Shiler! Come back quickly!!"

Shiler seemed to wake up in an instant. He shook his head and found that he was still inside the head of Galactus.

"What's going on, Gray Mist?" he asked.

"Not very clear, but I can feel the subtle changes in the magnetic field. You know, quantum mapping or something. This part hasn't been figured out yet."

Suddenly, Shiler was stunned again. Many superheroes appeared before his eyes. The scenes of Shiler getting along with superheroes played back and forth before his eyes, and there was no lack of scenes where superheroes came to him for help due to psychological and emotional problems.

In these hallucinations, everyone was the kind of patient Shiler liked most. Simply put, it was the kind of person who was full of contradictions and confusion but could speak.

Looking at this dreamlike paradise, Shiler couldn't help but float over, completely not hearing Stark's shouting behind him.

This time, it was the Gray Mist that woke Shiler up.

After Shiler woke up, he said: "Is this a sequela of turning into a ghost? How can I see the revolving lantern?"

A moment later, the noise in his ears became clearer. He heard a familiar little girl's voice say in his ear: "Doctor, if you can hear it, you must come over to help me. If it succeeds, I will let my father increase the next quarter's medical expenses by 20% when I go back..."

"Coming!"

With a "whoosh", Shiler disappeared, leaving only Stark looking at the air in front of him blankly.

With a "swish", a figure in a white lab coat appeared in the room and pounced on the altar that Helen drew, which was not much different from a second-hand market.

The things on the ground didn't change, only the color of the food became slightly darker.

After a while, Shiler finally crawled out of the ground. He looked at Helen with slight anger and said: "Loki said you didn't read books seriously before, and I didn't take it seriously. You know you should use coins for sacrifice, don't you know that it's useful to burn these things?"

"Of course I know, but this is real money!" Helen nimbly picked up the banknotes on the ground, and Shiler, suffering from having no body, could only watch her pack up the banknotes and gold.

"You will be punished for cheating ghosts like this!" Shiler shouted with grief and indignation: "I came because I saw money and gold!"

"Don't bluff, Doctor. We all know you came because you heard that the next quarter's medical expenses increased by 20%. That is at least 20% of 300 million US dollars! Stark is bleeding!"

Shiler, who was exposed, curled his lips. After looking around, he pointed to the plastic figures on the ground and said: "Then at least burn these figures for me. They are much more worry-free than the people themselves."

"Burning plastic products in violation of regulations is illegal in New Jersey and requires a fine of 500 to 1000 US dollars."

"Then I think love is appreciation, not possession."

Eddie on the side looked left and right blankly, not knowing who Helen was talking to. Just then, Venom's voice rang in his ear: "Oh, I forgot to adjust your brainwaves back... Go!"

The next second, Eddie saw a white ghost floating in mid-air.

"Ah!!!!!!!!!"
