Late at night, Ke Wen, who was reading a magic book in his study, was suddenly startled.
But it was because of the magic barrier that enveloped the entire building that a malicious force was actually detected.
Slowly standing up, Ke Wen let go of his senses and turned his hands to put the magic book into the 'Rubik's Cube Space'.
Then, sensing the evil aura downstairs, he walked out of the study and took the elevator to the first floor.
Ding!
The elevator door opened, and a figure appeared in Kewen's sight.
At this time, in the middle of the hall on the first floor, an old man holding a cane with both hands in front of his abdomen was standing there quietly.
You can see through the moonlight that the old man is wearing a black leather trench coat and a pair of black leather gloves. Even though it is midsummer, the old man is covering his whole body tightly.
When Ke Wen appeared in the elevator, the old man immediately pursed his lips and smiled.
Not only does his outfit show his gentlemanly demeanor, but the old man’s smile is also full of gentlemanly demeanor.
Seeing this, Ke Wen did not stop in the elevator. He walked directly out of the elevator and stood more than five meters apart from the old man.
"Do you mind if I turn on the light?" Ke Wen said calmly.
"If you please, child."
The old man's voice was very magnetic, and his tone made people feel kind: "This is your home, and I am here to visit rashly. Please forgive me for coming in directly."
Ke Wen didn't respond. He casually pointed toward the wall, causing the lights in the hall on the first floor to turn on instantly.
"What do you call it?"
Ke Wen asked as he looked at the old man in front of him, whose magic power was full of evil.
"Mephisto." The old man replied with a smile.
"It turns out to be a visitor from hell."
Ke Wen was stunned for a moment, and a lot of memory information suddenly appeared in his mind.
He soon realized that the Marvel Cinematic Universe he was in now did indeed have a scene involving Mephisto.
In the future plot of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", there will be shadows of "Ghost Rider", and "Ghost Rider" was created by Mephisto.
Moreover, Ancient One also said before that the person in hell has been a little restless recently. What Ancient One was referring to was Mephisto, the controller of the 'regional dimension' in front of him.
Thinking of this, Kewen relaxed his vigilance a little.
Because he knew that the person in front of him was not the real body of Mephisto, but just a clone, not that powerful.
So he asked again: "So, Mr. Hell Lord, what is your purpose of coming?"
"child……"
Mephisto raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I'm here to bother you tonight. I just plan to get my share of the reward back."
"Remuneration?" Ke Wen raised his eyebrows slightly: "When did I owe you payment?"
"Suleimani Carioca."
Mephisto said softly: "He signed a contract with me, but you saved him from death, so I didn't get the share of my soul that I deserved, so I had no choice but to come here to disturb you.
Demand the reward I deserve."
Kewen suddenly understood, and then sneered: "So that's it, another poor guy who has stepped into a trap."
"No, no, no, there's no trap."
Mephisto smiled and shook his head: "I absolutely abide by the contract. I promised to help him turn over, and I did it truthfully."
Ke Wen mocked: "Yes, you did it, so his bankruptcy again has nothing to do with you?"
"This is obviously something outside the contract."
Mephisto slowly spread his hands: "It was his own greed that led to the current ending."
"I don't want to pay attention to that."
Corwin stared at Mephisto and shook his head: "Since his soul is your reward, you can just go and get it yourself, why are you looking for me?"
"Look, kid."
Mephisto raised his left hand and made a small circle with his finger: "You have turned this matter into an endless loop."
"According to his original fate, Suleimani Carioca should have been dead by now. I will also get my reward as promised, but you saved him from death."
Having said this, Mephisto shook his head hypocritically and sighed: "I will absolutely abide by the agreement. It is stated in the contract that I will only take away his soul after his natural death, so I will never take away his soul."
Before he dies, go and collect his soul."
"Do you understand?" Mephisto smiled and said: "My child, you took away a reward that was about to enter my pocket. But due to the rules of the contract, I can't take it back."
"I see."
Ke Wen made a stunned look and then said: "Sorry, it's my fault this time. Please wait a moment. I'm going to kill Soleimani Carioca."
Mephisto was stunned.
He never expected that Kewen would make such a choice.
But Mephisto was extremely treacherous. He immediately shook his head and said: "This is a different child, because the concept of time for the contract to take effect has been broken by you. I did not receive the soul on time. This was a mistake caused by your intervention.
"
"Ah……"
Ke Wen stopped pretending and said sarcastically: "I keep talking about excuses, isn't it because you have already set your sights on me?"
Mephisto's smile did not change at all.
He raised his right hand and a scroll appeared in his hand.
"My child, you owe me after all."
Mephisto raised his hand slightly, threw the scroll towards Coven, and said at the same time: "Child, let's sign the contract. Everything can be discussed about the price you need to pay me."
Bear--
The scroll spontaneously ignited instantly and quickly turned into ashes.
Ke Wen did not pick up the contract scroll. He moved his eyes slightly, glanced at the thrown scroll, and burned it with magic.
Mephisto still smiled gentlemanly.
He didn't even look at the ashes that fell to the ground, but said more enthusiastically: "Look, kid, it's not easy to make the contract scroll. You once again caused me losses, so the price you have to pay me has become slightly higher.
.”
"Stop being so verbose."
Ke Wen said in a cold voice: "If you want to fight, then fight."
"Wrong choice……"
Mephisto sighed with regret, looked down at the cane in his hand and shook his head.
boom--
When he raised his head, Mephisto's appearance had completely changed. He was no longer a kind gentleman and old man, but revealed his true devil-like face.
The smile became evil and ferocious, and evil magic mixed with various negative emotions emanated from Mephisto's body.
The floor of the hall was stained with a faint red color, the walls and ceiling were becoming mottled as if they were decaying, and various metal objects and furniture had also begun to show signs of aging and rust.
There was a sense of emphasis in the words, and Mephisto smiled evilly and said: "Child, you have to know that no one can ever owe the devil any price! This is the rule of hell! Now you..."
Having said this, Mephisto was suddenly startled.
The evil smile gradually subsided, and a hint of depression appeared in his expression.
"Alright alright……"
With a change of tone, Mephisto said in a tone of "I am a good person": "I took the liberty of disturbing you today, and it is indeed a bit rude. Let's do it next time."
Mephisto sighed: "Next time, I will knock on the door formally to visit, but kid, you have to remember that you are limited by the rules of hell, so I will keep an eye on you at all times."
Raising his arm, Mephisto spread out his two fingers, compared his eyes, and pointed at Coven.
Putting down his hand, Mephisto put away his magic power, returned to his appearance as a gentleman and an old man, and then said kindly: "Before my next visit, my child, please think about it seriously."
After saying that, Mephisto nodded slightly to Coven and disappeared in an instant.
Ke Wen stood in silence for a few breaths in the decaying hall, and then he slowly raised his hands.
Eyes drooping, Ke Wen looked at his trembling hands and continued to remain silent.
The body is also shaking, and it seems that it cannot stop at all.
Clenching his teeth and tightening the muscles in his cheeks, Ke Wen's eyeballs were filled with bloodshot eyes at some point.
At a certain moment, he couldn't bear it any longer and suddenly waved his hands vigorously.
The mirror space instantly enveloped Kewen's body, causing him to disappear into the real dimension.
After entering the mirror space, Kewen no longer suppressed himself at all.
"ah--"
Spreading his arms vigorously, Kewen looked up to the sky and let out a hoarse roar, his face looking slightly ferocious.
After emptying the air in his lungs with one breath, Ke Wen stopped as if exhausted.
Bowing slightly, Kewen's arms drooped weakly.
With heavy breathing, his back rose and fell slightly.
After a long time, Ke Wen finally controlled his emotions.
"call--"
After exhaling a long breath, Ke Wen slowly straightened up.
Looking at his raised hands again, he had stopped shaking.
After a moment of silence, Ke Wen murmured.
"You shouldn't have irritated me!"
"It's so unbearable..."
"I really want to have a fight..."
"He should……"
"You can allow me to fully utilize this strength..."
"Next time..." The corners of Ke Wen's mouth opened unconsciously: "Next time! I probably just... can't help it!"
boom--
The next moment, Kewen suddenly burst out with the magic power in his body.
The buildings in the mirror space instantly collapsed on a large scale.
A huge pit appeared under his feet, but Kewen did not fall, but floated in the air.
He curled up his body like a fetus, and then suddenly fully stretched it out.
Blinding light exploded from Kewen's body, and at this moment, he seemed to have turned into an exploding star.
Wherever the light passed, everything turned into powder.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Kewen reappeared in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital.
Instead of feeling satisfied after venting his anger, his expression looked slightly empty.
After looking around the entire hall, Kewen raised his hand and waved, then turned and walked towards the elevator.
As he took steps, the entire hall went back in time.
Until Kewen entered the elevator, the hall was completely restored to its original state.
at the same time.
In another mirror space, Ancient One is confronting Mephisto.
Mephisto looked confident and looked at Ancient One with a smile.
Gu Yi, on the other hand, looked far away, as if her eyes were not on Mephisto.
The atmosphere between the two seems very contradictory...
