Chapter 4 Arrows
After passing several messy alleys, John came to a door.
This door is a wooden door, which looks a bit old and is incompatible with the surrounding cement walls. However, this door blocked the joint siege of three high-level demons back then.
Of course, it couldn't stop John now, and it was pushed away directly.
......
The room is not large, but the gorgeous wallpaper and the carpet that you can tell if you step on it indicates that the owner here is a very willing person to spend money. Oh, in addition to these things, there are also a lot of frog corpses soaked in jars, unknown herbs, wooden stakes, and... a thin homeless man sitting on the ground.
The homeless man had no eyes, as if he was about to die of a serious illness, and next to him was a large chair, on which was sitting a tall and big bald black man.
This black man was wearing a white suit that was completely opposite to his skin, wearing an old-fashioned top hat, holding a cane with a skull on the top in his left hand, and his right hand... was pinching the head of the homeless man next to him...
This black man is [Midnight Dad], the owner of this bar.
Constantine could also see that he was drawing the soul of the homeless man next to him at this moment.
"When will you learn to knock on the door?" Midnight asked with an upset look when he saw John walk in.
"Come on, you knew I was coming when I stepped over the first step at the door... Isn't it?" John muttered indifferently, then sat in front of midnight casually, and pointed to the homeless man next to him: "Who is this guy?"
"Pani Decker." Midnight said lightly.
John was stunned. He could never associate this homeless man who looked like a dying man with Pani Decker, who always looked like a fitness maniac.
"This guy actually fought with a low-level demon on my territory yesterday and broke three tables of me. I have to teach him some lessons!" Midnight saw John's doubts and said.
"Oh, then, where is that demon?"
"I am very kind and sent him to heaven with the holy word." Midnight said, a cruel smile spilled out of the corner of his mouth.
John gave his shoulder: "Well... you are so considerate."
"Okay, if you have something to do, hurry up and say it." Midnight didn't want to fight with the other party again, so he quickly put the topic on the right track.
"Well...I just had a dream." John said, "I want you to help me solve it."
Midnight frowned, as if he was reminded of something very bad: "You came to me to see your disgusting... dream?"
"Yes, oh, this dream is not a scene of 'two stallions mating'." Constantine quickly explained: "In fact, it's not a dream... I just met a weird guy and he showed me an illusion. In that fantasy... I had lung cancer again and was about to die."
As soon as these words came out, Midnight was stunned for a moment. His hands subconsciously lifted up from the homeless man's head... The guy fell down instantly, as if he had just been tortured.
"The kind that is about to... die?" Midnight repeated, and his tone was heavily chewed on the word "death": "This is impossible..."
"Yes, I know it's impossible, but that illusion is very realistic, and the man said that this illusion indicates the future... And I have been in this city for so many years and have never seen this person. He seems to be a... doctor. Anyway, I think this is a little wrong now, you have to calculate it for me." John said, and he did not forget to add: "Don't forget, you still owe me favors."
Midnight's face suddenly became gloomy... Although his face was not good before, he did owe John the favor. You should know how troublesome it would be to have a new black man in London to have his own bar in that era.
Moreover, the entire magic circle knows that it is even more terrifying to owe the favors of [John Constantine] than to make a deal with a demon.
So, midnight has to return this favor quickly.
"Okay, hold it." Dad Midnight thought for a moment and handed the end of the cane with the skull to Constantine.
Constantine obviously knew this process, so he grabbed it directly.
In an instant... the dizziness came again. Everything I had just experienced was like fast forward and reverse play, and I passed it all over again. This naturally included the illusion of lying on the hospital bed.
A few seconds later.
"Amount—————————————————————” Daddy Midnight suddenly roared and pulled the cane in his hand.
"What...what happened?" John asked in a daze, and he noticed a clear sweat stain oozing out of the edge of the midnight top hat.
"Oh my God, my God..." Midnight's father was panting as if he was awakened from a nightmare: "This is terrible."
Of course John also realized the seriousness of the matter: "Why, is that what the person said is true? I am really going to die?"
Dad turned his head with difficulty: "No, you can't die."
John was stunned: "Then why are you so nervous?"
"Bastard!" Midnight shouted suddenly: "You have no idea what you have done... At that time, you will beg for everything you can, begging them to let you die quickly!"
John was even more confused: "I...what did I do?"
"You gave that guy cigarette! Damn, you actually gave him cigarettes, but two!"
"Ah??" John blinked his eyes: "I...I...have you been sucking your soul and sucking you so much? You haven't fully awake yet."
"Don't you talk nonsense. From which cigarette, I saw something extremely terrible! No, I didn't see him because I couldn't even face him. If that guy came, you'll be done, and we'll be done!"
John was stunned, but he could tell that midnight was not acting.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and find the person in a white coat! Now, only he can save you!" Midnight roared and kept murmuring: "Damn, you broom star, I know you shouldn't owe you a favor."
"Oh...oh..." John was also panicked, although he had no idea what was going on. Anyway, he quickly grabbed the door and ran out of the office at midnight.
......
About 20 minutes later, a guy in a yellow windbreaker was frantically searching for something next to a trash can. After a while, he finally pulled his head out of the garbage head.
And in his hand was a piece of paper.
The man was in a panic and took the paper ball apart.
And the original piece of paper without any writing now shows an arrow.
