Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 78 34. The Covenant of Darkness [1100]

"What's the card?"

At the entrance to Papa Midnight's nightclub, a burly man holds a card with his back to Merlin.

"wizard"

Merlin glanced at the card and said something, and the strong man made way for him.

He walked quickly into the nightclub, but he hadn't been here for more than a year, and the place was still full of demons dancing wildly.Merlin ignored those carnival aliens, and came to the bar with harsh music.

Behind the bar was no longer the fallen angel bartender a year ago, but a coquettish succubus instead.

She winked at Merlin, and then asked in a slightly raspy voice:

"My guest, what would you like to drink?"

"A glass of Siren's Tongue, and, I want to see Father Midnight."

Merlin whispered to the succubus.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and then let out a series of chuckles. She quickly danced the shaker in her hand, and then put a glass of light blue fine wine in front of Merlin's eyes.

She covered her mouth, looked at Merlin with her eyes like spring water, and said to Merlin:

"That's not okay, guest. Papa Midnight's appointment is estimated to be half a year away. If you don't have an appointment, I can't let you in... Papa will punish him."

The succubus is worthy of being a succubus, with a few simple facial expressions, the eyes of the people around Merlin are straightened.

But Merlin didn't.

His aesthetics are very traditional, and he is not at all interested in this alien with horns, tail, wings, and recurved legs.

Merlin sighed. He took something out of his pocket and put it on the bar. He said:

"To be honest, I also have an appointment with Father Midnight, this is proof..."

Merlin let go of his fingers, and he pressed a grenade that had been unplugged on the table.

As long as he relaxes his fingers, the crazy explosion will completely destroy the resplendent decoration and the corrupt atmosphere here.

"You are here to make trouble!"

The succubus screamed and took a few steps back. In an instant, several tall and strong guys with a dangerous aura stood up and surrounded Merlin.

But Merlin didn't panic. He reached out and picked up the "Siren's Tongue" in front of him, took a sip, and then said to the glaring Miss Succubus:

"I'm not here to make trouble, I just have some things, I have to see Father Midnight."

"Or you can send a message to Father Midnight for me, just say..."

Merlin whispered to the succubus:

"Let's just say, I'm here to deal with the madman and half-demon that appeared in Hell's Kitchen these two days. What I need is its hiding place, that's all."

"Just wait, Dad Midnight will crush your heart and drink! If you leave now, I will pretend nothing happened!"

The vicious succubus looked at the grenade under Merlin's finger, and she snorted in fear.This kind of military weapon exploded at this distance, maybe it couldn't kill a demon like her, but it would definitely hurt, and if there was an attack, Papa Midnight's business and reputation would be ruined.

Facing the threat of the succubus, Merlin shrugged and said:

"That's my business. You just have to send the word."

The succubus saw that Merlin would not give in, she gritted her teeth, finally waved her hand, turned and walked towards the box behind the bar.Seeing the succubus leave, Merlin turned to look at the strong men around him, and said:

"Next, it's a matter between me and Father Midnight, and it has nothing to do with you guys."

"Sit down, it's so tiring to stand."

A few minutes later, the succubus bartender came back with a folded piece of paper. She threw the paper in front of Merlin's eyes. The succubus put her hands on her hips and said bitterly to Merlin:

"Papa Midnight said, you owe him a favor now!"

"Take your things and get out!"

Merlin didn't care about the succubus chick's sharp voice to drive her away. He picked up the note and looked at it. The address on it was a pier on the bank of the Hudson River.

This is what he was looking for.

"Okay, thank Father Midnight for me."

After speaking, Merlin let go of his fingers and stood up.

Seeing that Merlin let go of her fingers, Miss Succubus turned pale with fright, and threw herself on the bar counter, as if she wanted to block the exploding grenade with her body, so as not to hurt Papa Midnight's nightclub, so as not to lose herself. This job was hard to find.

But after a few seconds, nothing happened.

She looked up blankly, and saw Merlin looking down at her.

"What a fool."

Merlin stretched out his fingers to help Miss Succubus smooth her messy hair, and he said softly:

"A defuzed grenade won't explode...but seriously, it's fun."

"Have a good night's sleep, ma'am."

After speaking, Merlin turned and left without hesitation, letting the succubus lady curse sharply behind him.

Merlin walked out of the nightclub, and in the night wind near midnight, he keenly smelled blood, which made Merlin quicken his pace and rushed to the place where Fury parked.It turned out that Fury was leaning against the car door and smoking a cigarette.

really weird...

Fury, who never smoked, always said that the smoke would give away the location of the agents.

Merlin walked over with his wand in his hand. In the dark perception, he felt that a bleeding corpse was falling at Fury's feet.And Fury's car window was also smashed, and there were bloody glass shards everywhere.

But Fury himself was not injured and he is still healthy.

"Are you all right, Fury?"

Merlin asked, and Fury looked back at him, shaking his head.The agent glanced at the corpse with its head exploded under his feet, and the abnormal green blood beside the corpse, he said:

"I just... saw a guy's head open just now, and it tried to bite me with a bloody basin full of disgusting teeth, hell! I will never forget that scene in my life."

"You shot it? Well done."

Merlin looked at the distorted corpse, he shook his head, opened the car door, and got in the car:

"Come on, Fury, someone will take care of this thing."

"Did you find it?"

Fury's current state is in the recovery period after being frightened. Merlin didn't dare to let him drive, so he sat in the driver's seat by himself.Fury was sitting on the passenger seat with a pistol in his hand. He threw the cigarette butt out of the car window and said to Merlin:

"Also, what the hell is that ghost thing that attacked me just now?"

"That should be a doppelganger, if I'm not mistaken."

Merlin turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the Hudson River pier, and replied:

"It's a low-level monster that can pretend to be a human being. In fact, it doesn't need holy silver bullets. Even ordinary bullets can kill it. It's afraid of fire, and it doesn't have any special abilities. It just occasionally scares people."

"Yeah, it's scary."

Fury sighed, he looked at the bright lights outside the window a little melancholy, he said:

"I don't need supper tonight...that's disgusting, that thing."

Ten minutes later, Merlin parked the car at the intersection hundreds of meters away from the pier. He got out of the car, took out the black sniper rifle from the trunk, and handed it to Fury.

The latter held the gun in his hand and skillfully buckled the magazine.

"I'll go find a sniper spot and try to fight in an open field, Merlin."

Fury put the sunglasses that Merlin gave him on his face, and he said to Merlin:

"I'll cover you."

"Keep yourselves safe, Fury."

Merlin inserted the holy silver magazine into the Colt sent by Agent Patton, and then put the gun in the holster. He put a long box into the old magic pocket, and then soaked the gun in the holy silver. Hiding his fighting knife in his sleeve, he said to Fury:

"If you encounter a situation that you can't deal with, retreat immediately! That Morris organized a cult before, this time it has made a comeback, and there are likely to be other followers around, remember! Don't fight with them, those defective half-demons It is fatal to you too!"

"Don't worry, Merlin."

Fury carried a sniper rifle and put on protective gloves. He said to Merlin:

"I have been on the battlefield, and I have killed people. I just shot a monster in the head. From this point of view, I am much more dangerous than you."

"Go, Merlin, it's time to go to the battlefield."

After finishing speaking, Fury walked into the darkness with his gun on his back. He will find a nearby sniper site that can cover the entire pier, and then use the weapon in his hand to start killing tonight!

"Well, Clint, I wouldn't have to worry so much if you were here."

Watching Fury leave, Merlin felt a little regretful.

Agent Patton and Black Widow Natasha, who fought side by side with him, are in a place called Island Prison. According to Fury's description, that place should be somewhere in the ocean, and they won't be able to come back in a short time. .

Merlin pulled out his wand, and his whole body turned into a cloud of dark smoke in the darkness, blowing by the wind, and quickly blended into the gloomy pier in front of him.

————————————————————

Underneath the pier, in a huge warehouse.

The darkness spreads here, but in the darkness, there are two groups of flames burning, like two braziers.

Above the two blazes hung upside down by black chains two wretched wretches in torment.

"Go ahead and tell me more... about Merlin, about my 'brother'."

A violent voice lured in the darkness, its voice echoing throughout the warehouse.But the two poor souls, hanging upside down in chains, have been tortured for so long that they can't even speak.

"Don't say? Hehe"

Morris, who was hiding in the darkness, hooked his finger slightly, and the jumping flames splashed upward rapidly, igniting a person's already sparse hair, just like igniting a piece of paper.

"Ah! Ah ah ah!"

The man whose hair was set on fire screamed in pain. He struggled crazily, making the chains rattle and rattle. This desperate neighing of a trapped beast made the half-demon in the dark feel a kind of distorted pleasure.

It set its sights on another hoisted man, and it said:

"Why so loyal? My dear friend Constantine, you are not such a loyal person as I remember. Speak, don't let yourself suffer, speak."

The person who was hanged was John Constantine who had been missing for a week, the cunning guy who had blackmailed Merlin.

He was hired by Morris to look for Merlin, but turned back at the last moment, letting Merlin know of Morris' existence in advance.

Now, he is hanging here by Morris.However, compared to Hitwell, who was swearing to die by his side, Constantine was much more tactful.In the past few days, he told Maurice Merlin's address and the church that Merlin often went to, but the most important news, Constantine kept it in his heart.

"I'm not your friend."

Constantine said in a hoarse voice with a trace of sarcasm:

"I know the way you half-devils do things better than anyone else... If I'm useless, I'm done."

"You know, you're going to tell me everything eventually."

With the slight vibration of the ground, Morris, who had completely lost his human form and twisted into a half-human, half-demon, came out of the darkness.Its skin was covered with dark red scales, and its shoulders, elbows, and back were covered with sharp and hideous bone spurs.It has a pair of black devil horns on its forehead, and four dark red eyes on its face, like four lamps in the dark.

Its height has broken through the limit of human beings, its twisted muscles are all over its body, and its scales are entwined with red flames, just like hot magma flowing, making it look like a head stepped out of hell Behemoth.

It stretched out its claws, grabbed Constantine's chains, lifted him up so that it was parallel to Constantine's eyes, this half-demon whose soul and body had been distorted, said to Constantine:

"You are like a sesame seed under the grinder, not worth mentioning! I will squeeze out all your secrets bit by bit, leaving you only skin, and then, while you howl and beg for mercy, I will swallow you dry Clean! You third-rate bastard..."

"Now, enjoy the joy of being burned by the flames."

Morris grinned, and was about to throw Constantine into the flames under his feet.

"boom"

With a gunshot, blood spattered from the back of Morris's heart, its hard scales were torn apart by the holy silver, and the tumbling bullet was like scorching fragments, pulling out a bloody wound on its back, making it The half-demon let out an angry growl.

It turned around, and another bullet flew past its ugly face, breaking the chains that bound Constantine.The third-rate wizard let out a scream and swayed his body in the air, only to escape the terrible end of being thrown into the flames.

"Ah, here you are at last, my dear brother!"

Maurice looked at Merlin who appeared behind him in the darkness, its four eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty pleasure.

In front of the twisted half-demon, Merlin retracted his pistol and drew his wand.

He looked at Maurice, and he said softly:

"Yeah, ugly brother I've never met. I don't want to miss the night I'm about to spend with you..."

"Even if it's just for..."

"You die, I live."

Let the party begin! ! !
