Shadow of the Beautiful World

Calm down.

In the dark alley outside the Sheepshead Bar, Merlin hugged Elsa, who was full of despair, and patted the girl on the shoulder. He comforted in a low voice:

That tentacle monster is probably talking nonsense. You should have confidence in your father... He is such a powerful demon hunter, it is not so easy to die.

I know, I've always had faith in him.

Elsa said tremblingly:

But what he is facing is Dracula after all, the monster who has been entangled with my family for thousands of years. Dracula has other helpers around him... If he is unlucky...

Don't think about it!

Merlin interrupted Elsa's terrified guess. He stretched out his hand and cupped Elsa's face. Looking into those beautiful eyes, he said:

We'll find him, we're in this city, he's in this city, we can find him! Give your father a little confidence, and give me a little confidence, okay?

Um.

Elsa nodded. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down in the cold air. After a while, she grabbed Merlin's wrist tightly and said:

Let's go find him now, go to the place where the battle took place that night, maybe we can find some clues.

Well, I'll check it out, but you should probably go back and rest now.

Merlin stroked Elsa's long hair and said:

Your current state is not suitable for going out. You should go back and calm down. If I find useful information, I will contact you.

I'll be waiting for you on Blood Street.

Elsa is not an ignorant girl who insists on being inseparable from her lover.

The news she heard from the bartender Perry just now made her upset. She really needs to calm down. For an alien hunter, an unstable mental state will make her unable to concentrate when hunting. In a city full of aliens, such a state is fatal.

Well, rest well with Nissa.

Merlin said to Elsa:

There is no need to be hostile to the Supreme Family, at least not now. In addition, during your rest period, you can help me contact some people.

Merlin handed his mobile phone to Elsa, and he said:

Blade, Asazo, and the Aegis demon hunters, and the side of hell... You don't know Liana well, it doesn't matter, Ruiwen and Xuanlan will help you, tell her about sulfur Hong Kong and Dracula, and then tell her we're going to need her help.

Why don't you do these things?

Elsa took the phone and said to Merlin:

I'm not your assistant now.

Because I have more important things to do, little Elsa, don't lose your temper.

Merlin kissed Elsa on the forehead, he turned his head, and in the flashing picture of Icarus' lens, Chas, who was drunk, was staggering out of the Sheepshead Bar and walked towards his car parked at the street corner. yellow taxi.

I have to say, that Hyundai car parked in this city full of aliens really looks awkward and eye-catching.

On the other hand, Chas, who was drunk, started his own taxi. As a skilled taxi driver, Chas knew very well that he could not drink alcohol while driving. Irresponsible and no driver should drink and drive.

But the thing is, he's not in New York or Manhattan right now, he's in a strange city, a city of lunatics, monsters, and psychos who won't die if they get hit by a car, or even get hurt.

Chas himself, on the other hand, needs to numb himself with enough alcohol to ignore the dire state he's in.

wow

The taxi started at breakneck speed, took a sharp turn in the street, and nearly hit an old werewolf woman crossing the road, who barked at Chas, but Chas just chuckled and stomped. With the accelerator pedal, he drove crookedly towards the block on the east side of the city.

His mistress was still waiting for him to return with the medicine.

He couldn't do anything until he got rid of that female demon. What's more, Chas thought pessimistically that he might not be able to get rid of that damned female demon in his life.

You have to watch the road when driving. Besides, if you drink and drive, your driver's license will be revoked.

Just when Chas was feeling sorry for himself, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Chas, startling the chubby driver. After drinking alcohol, his reaction force would drop. In the sudden fright, Chas couldn’t hold his hand. He stopped the steering wheel, let his whole car skid on the street, and crashed head-on against the railing at the side of the street.

Nothing wrong with the railing, nothing wrong with the car.

Because at the moment of the impact, Merlin stretched out his hand and used gravity to fix the out-of-control car, making it stop less than a few centimeters away from the railing.

Ha ha.

Chas was gasping for breath, and this shock made him break out in a cold sweat, and it also made him sober from that drunken state.

He reversed the car with difficulty, let the taxi adjust its position on the street, then turned his head stiffly, and looked at Merlin who was sitting leisurely on the back seat of his car. At this moment, Chas seemed to see a savior, his eyes Blinking, he said:

Mr. Merlin, you...

Don't talk yet.

Merlin looked into Chas' eyes and said:

Keep your eyes open and let me see.

Chastain's eyes widened.

Among all the people he knows, his childhood friend Constantine is the one who studies the occult the most, followed by the mysterious Mr. Merlin. Chas has not forgotten the period when he was troubled by spiritual vision , it was Mr. Merlin's guidance that allowed him to find a way to escape.

He believed in Merlin very much, maybe, he could also solve the bad things that happened to him now.

Dupond told me you're in trouble, and you really do have the remnants of the devil in your pupils...Chas.

Merlin says:

So, did it put a curse on you? Or did you sign a contract with it? And, what happened to this? How did you get involved with the devil?

It was an accident, Mr. Merlin.

Chas said to Merlin with some headaches:

Three months ago, when I was working in New York, I met a seriously injured woman in an alley at night. She was lying in the alley with blood all over her body, and she looked like she was dying.

I got out of the car and helped her, and it turned out... this got me in trouble, the woman was a devil, or a devil or something, and she got hold of me and asked me to do something for her, and then she put I brought it to this damned city.

Chas looked at the heterogeneous people coming and going outside the car window, and said with a headache on his face:

I'm just an ordinary person. I don't even dare to go out at night. These aliens, these monsters, are too scary.

She didn't hurt you?

Merlin looked at Chas in surprise, and he said:

Being safe and sound with a devil for 3 months, Chas, your luck is really enviable. And, you said she? Is it a female devil? Do you know her name?

I have no idea.

Chas stretched out his hand and opened his sleeve, and showed Merlin the pentagram emblem on his arm. He said:

She branded this emblem on my arm, saying that no one would dare to provoke me in Sulfur Harbor. The last time I drove her to the Sheep's Head Bar for a drink, I heard the bartender Perry with the tentacles all over his face call her , Satana...

Some say she is the daughter of Satan.

Well, it is indeed a symbol of Satan, but wait, Satana? This name is a bit familiar.

Merlin stretched out his hand to stop Chas from continuing to speak. He rubbed his forehead, recalling the familiar name. After a while, he suddenly realized:

Oh, it turned out to be Dimon's worrying sister...

There was a flash of light in Merlin's eyes, and he said softly:

The last time his brother set me up, almost made Rui Wen permanently demonized, and almost made me confess to being in that trap... Between me and their brothers and sisters, there is still a debt to settle.

Merlin reached out and patted Chas on the shoulder, he said:

Our mutual friend Dubender paid a 'big' price for me to help you, so I will help you.

Take me to Satana, let me have a good 'chat' with her.

———————————————

The eastern part of the city of Sulfur Harbor is the residential area of ​​many big shots, and it is also the area with the best environment in Sulfur Harbor. Villas and manors of various styles are lined up on the rolling hillside, which looks quite quiet and prosperous.

Chas drove the car, driving Merlin around the residential area, and finally stopped in front of an unremarkable villa.

Merlin rolled down the car window and looked inside the villa. From the perception of his spirit vision, he quickly sensed a powerful aura dormant in the mansion. Apart from this, there was almost no other aura of life in the mansion.

Did you live here with her these few months?

Merlin looked back at Chas with a face of fear, and he said with a half-smile:

The beauty is not shallow, Chas, I heard that Miss Satana is a famous glamorous princess in the hell dimension.

Stop joking, Mr. Merlin.

Chas wiped the sweat from his face, this timid and honest man was almost frightened, he said pleadingly:

Help me out of this trouble, please, Mr. Merlin, I'd rather be an ordinary taxi driver than have anything to do with these things. I've been missing 3 times in New York with people and cars It's been a month, I'm afraid all my photos have been recalled, and the apartment must have expired, I haven't earned a penny in these three months, God, I'm so hard.

Okay, okay, take it easy.

Merlin stretched out his hand and turned the car door. He looked at the mansion in front of him and said:

Wait outside, Chas, I let you in, and you come in again.

After finishing speaking, Merlin pulled out the silver sword Vlad from a ball of flames, and he disappeared over the mansion without a sound amidst the rolling black mist.

As the invisible black smoke drifted away, Merlin's figure appeared in the bedroom of Satan's daughter. He looked down at Satana. Hellstorm, the sister of the half-devil Damon, and the descendant of the great devil Satan.

She was as beautiful as the legend said.

Even in bed, in the deepest sleep, there is something sultry about her. Merlin knew that this was because of the inherent seductive ability of female devils, especially for a half-human, half-demon like Satana, whose allure to humans is extremely strong.

Unlike her older brother, she seems to prefer to project her half-demon stance.

On her forehead, the two demonic horns curving outwards are not ferocious, but playful and cute. The outline of Satana's face is somewhat similar to Daemon's, and there is also a kind of Inhuman arrogance and indifference.

The figure of the lady is astonishing, she wears a red eccentric bodysuit with bold cutouts on the chest and waist, and black jewels on the snow-white neck.

And the waist-length white hair was scattered around the bed, looking extremely beautiful.

Like a white rose in full bloom.

swish

Merlin's figure condensed beside Satana's bed. He stretched out his hand, trying to touch the cheek of the half-demon lady, but the moment his finger touched Satana's cheek, Satana's body turned into white smoke strangely After dissipating, Merlin frowned and stepped back from the front view. The next moment, two staggered flaming daggers pierced his heart from behind, one left and one right.

The flames exploded, and the tumbling energy involved Merlin, who was trying to atomize, and soon burned it up. The silver sword Vlad, who had lost his owner, fell to the ground alone, making a clanging sound.

Hehe, Merlin Raven...that's all.

Due to being attacked and injured some time ago, Satana, who is now weak and pale, came out of the hiding place, and with a flick of her hand, the hellfire wrapped in her hand turned into sparks and disappeared.

Obviously, this half-demon lady, the daughter of Satan, sensed Merlin's arrival in advance, and set a trap for her.

However, just when Satana was trying to pick up the silver sword Vlad on the ground, a light cough sounded from behind her, and Satana suddenly turned around, and saw Merlin sitting in the bedroom without any injuries chair on the other side.

boom

The red wine that Merlin just took out was opened, and with the sound of the cork popping, he said to Satana who was looking at him:

Daughter of Satan...that's all.

you!

Satana was about to fight back, but at this moment, she felt that her limbs and body were extremely heavy. She looked down, and wisps of black smoke were clasped around her wrists and legs like chains, tightly restraining her In place.

Hush...

Merlin poured himself a glass of wine, he raised his finger, and made a silent motion to Satana, he said:

I'm not here to find you, Miss Satana, there is no enmity between us.

Don't try to struggle, you are seriously injured, I can tell at a glance, you are not my opponent...so don't ask for trouble!

Merlin took a sip of his wine and said:

I'm here to find your brother, tell me, where is Daemon?

After I survived his damn conspiracy, I can't wait to talk to him.
