The next day, outside the old apartment where Huang Shang had been exorcising demons, a somewhat dilapidated yellow taxi stopped.
Then, a hand stretched out from the car window and threw the almost burned cigarette butt on the fingertips on the ground. At the same time, the car door opened and a man wearing a khaki windbreaker stepped out of the car.
This man has a handsome appearance and three-dimensional features, but he is a little unshaven. He also looks a little decadent and tired, as if he has just woken up from a hangover or hasn't slept for a long time.
After getting out of the car, the man looked up at the apartment, then walked into it, took out a cigarette and a lighter engraved with complicated mantras from his arms, lit it, and put it into his mouth.
"I think……"
"Something seems to have happened unexpectedly..."
At this moment, behind a beam in the apartment, a fat, middle-aged bald man wearing a gray windbreaker walked over and said with some stumbling: "I promise, I will call you as soon as I find out that I can't handle it this time."
Got the phone, John..."
"But just last night, the devil in the girl seemed to have suddenly left, and her whole body returned to normal. However, her parents were worried that this was a trick by the devil, so they did not untie her..."
"And...I seem to have heard something terrible..."
Having said this, a look of fear appeared on the fat man's face, and he took out a wine bottle from his arms and took a few sips.
His name is Henis, and he is a priest. He also has the ability to listen to sounds in the "ether", so he can often hear things that ordinary people cannot hear, and even get some messages like a prophet.
Although this kind of sound helped him a lot, it also caused him great trouble, and he had to drink alcohol to suppress the pain caused by this noisy sound.
And this man whom Hennis calls "John" is the absolute protagonist in the plot of "Hell Detective", John Constantine.
Compared with the John Constantine in Huang Shang's world, the John Constantine in this world seems more downcast and immature, with a kind of confusion in his eyes as if the future is unknown.
"Once possessed by demons, they will not easily leave their host."
Constantine shook his head and said: "Unless they find a better one, or they are expelled by others."
"And if the devil leaves on his own initiative, he will not let go of a living soul and will only leave people with a walking corpse. And if you say that the girl has returned to normal, then it should be the latter."
Speaking of this, a trace of suspicion appeared on Constantine's face: "But... who did it?"
You must know that Hernis is not an ordinary priest. Ordinary evil spirits and ghosts can be solved by Hernis himself, so the person possessing this girl must be a real demon. Looking at the entire Los Angeles, there are no people who can expel real demons.
It's not that there is none, but most of these guys just stay in one place and don't care about the world. So who took the initiative to get rid of this devil?
In fact, if he hadn't contracted lung cancer and his soul had been predestined by Satan long ago, in order to be saved and go to heaven after death, he wouldn't have meddle in his own business.
So he was also curious about who stole his business.
Afterwards, Constantine took Hernis to the room where the girl was, and then saw the sleeping girl in the room.
Being possessed by a demon is a very painful and physically damaging thing. Although the demon in the girl's body has been expelled, her body will be weak for a long time.
"The smell of sulfur..."
After smelling the breath in the air, a gleam flashed in Constantine's eyes, then he walked to the girl, approached the girl's ear, and softly said one word: "deus!"
However, the girl was still asleep and had no reaction.
"The demon inside him has left."
Seeing this scene, Constantine nodded and said: "People possessed by demons will feel afraid and shrink in front of the name of God. I just said the name of God in Latin, but the girl didn't react at all.
It means the demon inside him has left."
Speaking of this, Constantine frowned and asked the girl's parents: "You said you just heard a terrible scream, and then you rushed over and found the girl asleep, right?"
"Yes, we have been paying attention to his movements since he was possessed by the devil. That day we heard the screams and rushed over immediately, but we didn't see anything. We only saw her falling into a deep sleep.
"
The girl's father nodded and asked worriedly: "Is she okay?"
"It's okay, I just need to rest for a while."
Constantine nodded, but the doubts in his eyes became more serious: "It's strange, who did it, actually has such ability..."
You must know that killing demons and expelling demons are not the same concept. If he wants to expel the demons in a girl without harming the girl herself, even he has to use the right time, place and various treasures to do it, and it will take a certain amount of time, but
That mysterious man was able to easily take away the demon inside the girl late at night when the demon's power was at its strongest. Even he was far inferior to this level of strength.
Looking at the whole of Los Angeles, the only people who can do this are a few people, but in his opinion, these people will never meddle in such nosy matters. Could it be that some big foreign boss has come to Los Angeles?
Thinking of this, Constantine turned his head and asked Hernis: "You said you heard something terrible yesterday, what was it?"
"I heard... wailing..."
Thinking of what he heard yesterday, Henis wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "It's not one person, but countless wailings, both from demons and humans... very scary!"
"Wailing..."
Constantine's brows furrowed even more tightly. He always felt that what Henis heard was not something good, but judging from the way the other party rescued people, he didn't seem to be an evil person. So what was going on?
"Forget it, let's first see what kind of demon is possessing this girl."
Shaking his head, Constantine took out some black debris from the gap between the girl's nails, then placed it on a white cloth. Finally, he poured some unknown liquid on it, placed it in front of a mirror, and lit it with a lighter.
boom!
In an instant, the white cloth, debris and liquid ignited together and turned into a blazing flame. A large amount of black smoke poured out, making the mirror black. On the dark mirror, the ferocious and terrifying appearance of the hell demon soldier flashed past.
.
"Hell Demon Soldier?!"
Seeing the hell demon soldiers flashing across the mirror, Constantine was stunned.
He had just used a special method to ignite the demonic aura in the possessed girl, and then made her appear in a short time, but he never expected that the possessed girl turned out to be a demon soldier from hell!
But this is almost impossible!
Demons can bewitch and control humans through contracts, but they cannot easily enter the human world, let alone cannon fodder units such as Hell Demon Soldiers!
There must be some secret in this!
Thinking of the mysterious man who got rid of the hell demon soldiers, Constantine's expression suddenly became more solemn.
This is definitely no small matter!
Thinking of this, Constantine took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "The girl is fine, but I have other things to deal with, Hernis, you come with me..."
Then, he took Herness out of the room. As he walked out, he said in a deep voice: "Father, something big will happen. I need your help. I need you to help me hear more things..."
Having said this, he took off the amulet from Hennessy's neck, stuffed it into Hennessy's pocket, and said: "It only takes a few days. Help me. If you hear anything unusual, tell me as soon as possible."
I!"
This amulet is something that the talisman uses to protect himself, but it will also suppress his special ability to a certain extent. Now that the amulet is taken off, he can hear more!
"Well, for you, John..."
There was a trace of fear and uneasiness in Herness's eyes, but in the end he took a deep breath and agreed.
But at the next moment, the priest suddenly seemed to notice something. His pupils shrank suddenly, his face changed drastically, he held his head and wailed: "John... the voice, the voice last night... is here again...
"
"That person...is nearby!"
Amid the wailing, the priest fell to his knees, as if he might faint at any moment.
At the same time, as if he noticed something, Constantine suddenly turned his head and looked at a corner of the lobby on the first floor of the apartment.
Then, a handsome young man in a white suit walked out of the shadows and smiled at Constantine: "Hello, John Constantine!"
The person who came was none other than Huang Shang!
He has been waiting for this guy for a long time!
ps: Here comes the first update, please support me, keep coding!
ps2: Calling God's name in Latin to make the devil back off does not come from "Hell Detective", but from the first season of "Supernatural", but Zha Kang definitely knows this routine, so there is no need to question it.
