Lin En never took this so-called urban legend seriously.
Because in his impression, there are no such things as ghosts in the entire Marvel Universe. Except for the legendary Valhalla in Asgard, basically all the dead people disappeared completely, and ghosts never appeared.
This is also why the Marvel Universe has embarked on the evil path of infinite parallel universes, because when they want to resurrect a certain character, they can't find their ghost and use mysterious spells to resurrect them. In this case, if they want to make a superhero whose popularity suddenly skyrocket reappear in front of the audience, without breaking the book, the only way is to open the Pandora's box of the parallel universe.
On the contrary, there are quite a few ghosts in the magical world.
In addition to the ghosts that can be seen everywhere in the Hogwarts Castle, such as the Bloody Baron, Myrtle, etc., there are also murals of the deceased headmaster on the walls, and the fragments of Voldemort's soul split into various Horcruxes.
After confirming that he was in the Marvel Universe and not the magical world, Lynn easily accepted Hughes' invitation.
Moreover, as for the ghost that Hughes mentioned, Lynn just regarded it as a gimmick created by the other party to create excitement and attraction.
Of course, Hughes himself may not have been the one who created this gimmick, but it was certainly the source of this ghost story.
…
"Hey, Lynn, I figured you'd come back here too!"
On Friday night, Lin En arrived as promised and came to Hughes' big house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw an acquaintance.
It turned out to be a little spider.
With him came a cheerful wheat-skinned girl, who was naturally Spider-Man's girlfriend MJ.
The moment Spider-Man saw Lynn, he pulled her to a quiet corner of the yard and began to introduce her to MJ.
"Hey, this is Lynn, my other best friend. Hey Lynn—"
Spider-Man first introduced Lynn to MJ, and then secretly winked at Lynn.
Lynn naturally understood.
"Ahem, you must be MJ, right? Oh, Peter always tells me about you, as if he is showing off that he has the best girlfriend in the world. After seeing you today, I finally understand why he is so positive."
Lynn reached out and high-fived MJ.
At the same time, he secretly winked at Spider-Man, and received an affirmative thumbs-up from him.
"Hey, you are Lin En. Peter often tells me about you, but you guys seem to be doing some secret actions among boys, which makes me jealous."
MJ is a very straightforward and cheerful girl. She high-fived Lynn as if she had met a good friend and made a joke openly.
"Oh, I have to assure you, today's incident was purely an accident. We didn't plan it in advance." Lin En spread his hands, and then the three of them burst into laughter.
"Hey, I can testify for them. I invited both of them separately. Oh, it seems you already know each other."
Hughes, who knew nothing, came over and said mysteriously:
"Hey, seeing that both of you are here, I feel much more relieved. One of you is a master from Central City Middle School, and the other is a master from Macon Middle School. I believe that even if that ghost comes, you can fight him off."
"Did you ask me to come here just to be your bodyguard?" Lynn grabbed Hughes' neck.
"Ahem, just to provide a little sense of security. I know you don't believe in the so-called ghost legend, but I've been to a few parties before, and this thing is really spread quite magically. I think it's better to be safe."
"What about the reward?"
"Well, I will introduce you to the girls present later and tell them that you are the most important guests of this party. Hey, this is a very good deal."
As Hughes spoke, he felt a stronger force on his neck.
"Oh no, no, no, Hughes, I would rather be your bodyguard for free. No, I'm a pacifist, I can't do these things..." Spider-Man waved his hands quickly. You know, MJ was right next to them, and if he heard it, it would be a big disaster.
"Hey, you're a hidden guy, and everyone at Midtown High knows it, Peter, and you Lynn, you can't make excuses."
"Let's change the condition. Next time you have to treat me to a meal at the best restaurant."
Lynn happily made the deal.
And when Hughes left with satisfaction, Spider-Man came over.
"Oh, you actually rejected Hughes' suggestion to make you famous in front of the girls. Are you really in love with Wanda?"
He looked mean, hiding from MJ and asking quietly, which even reminded Lin En of Deadpool.
"Go away and talk business. What do you think of this ghost?" Lynn rubbed the ring on his hand and cast a spell that allowed the two of them to conspire out loud.
"A ghost? I heard Ned talk about this a few days ago. You know he's an avid occultist, but he has a stomachache and can't come today. According to him, the probability of this ghost existing is very high, and it's very likely that it will appear at this party."
"So, you're here to be a ghost hunter?"
"Of course, this is much more fun than a party!"
"But aren't you a science and engineering genius? How come you believe in ghosts?"
"Oh, the ring on your middle finger can even house a dragon. How can I still believe in the old ideas? Moreover, I suspect that the so-called ghost is most likely man-made. Regardless of whether there is any malicious intent behind it, I want to get to the bottom of this matter."
“You are worthy of being a good neighbor to New Yorkers. Your curiosity is inexhaustible…” Lynn complained.
"Oh, aren't you? By the way, how is Garfield now? I checked Wikipedia and found that dragons have a very short growth period. They can grow several times their size in a short time after hatching. So how big is it now? When can we ride it and fly around?"
Spider-Man quietly touched the ring on Lynn's middle finger, trying to call the young dragon Garfield. He had watched him turn the dragon-raising suitcase into a ring and put it on his hand.
"roar-"
A dragon roar immediately came from inside.
"Oh, the little fellow hasn't forgotten me yet!"
The little spider was very satisfied.
"Damn it, if you keep touching me like this, MJ will start to doubt your sexual orientation!"
"Well, okay, back to the topic, what do you think of ghosts?" Spider-Man immediately withdrew his hand.
"It may exist, but it won't exist in this world, so I want to confirm whether it is true or false."
"Oh, what if this thing really exists?"
"I have a powerful petrification spell, so a small ghost is no problem." Lynn said confidently.
