There is always a crossing that suits you

After changing into a new outfit, Qiao Mu looked at the thin and straight man in the fitting mirror with satisfaction, nodded and swiped his card to pay the bill.

After going home to get some stuff, Qiao Mu called Chas and asked him to pick him up.

Chase is a good assistant, and he is a top-notch driver. Within 10 minutes, Qiao Mu heard the familiar sound of a horn coming from downstairs.

"Wait for me in the car." After arriving at the destination, Qiao Mu told the boy and got out of the car.

"John, I know where you're going. It's the Midnight nightclub, right?" Seeing that the people in the back seat were about to leave after saying this, Chas finally couldn't bear it.He aspires to become an ability user with the same reputation as the most powerful exorcist, and like all young people, he is eager to be famous and to prove himself.He just found out that he could be the assistant of "The Exorcist" and didn't sleep well for a week.But gradually he found that apart from driving, this man would not allow himself to do anything.Every time he went on a mission or went to an exciting place, he didn't bring himself with him, but he was coldly treated with enthusiasm. After a long period of patience, the big boy couldn't hold back anymore.

The boy caught up with Qiao Mu, thinking of the famous bar, he was very excited, "I've read about that kind of half-breed angel and demon settlement before."

"You read too much, it's just a nightclub." Qiao Mu sneered.

"Nightclub?!" Chas exclaimed, and then he was full of anger at the boss's words, "Midnight's boss is a good man, he insists on remaining neutral." The boy was full of admiration ahead of his idol, and thinking of what the people around him said just now, he immediately felt aggrieved for Midnight , "He is a true legend!"

"Yes." Thinking of the dark-skinned witch doctor, Qiao Mu lost interest.

"John, I heard that you were once the best partners, and together left countless legends in the world of exorcism, is this true?"

"We really were."

"Oh, God! Take me in, John. I beg you." Knowing that he could not enter the bar by himself, Chas didn't want to let go of this opportunity to open his eyes and get close to his idol, so he asked road.

"Please, please!"

"Okay, as long as you have the ability." Too annoyed, Qiao Mu stopped and replied in a blunt tone.

"What do you mean?" The boy looked puzzled.

"If you can guess what is on the back of the card." After finishing speaking, Qiao Mu didn't want to talk too much, and walked forward regardless of whether the other party understood or not.

"The back of the card? Is it a bear? Or two ducks dancing in the clouds?"

——————————————————————————————————

Stepping into a speakeasy with neon lights, it's natural and easy to enter with Qiao Mu's ability.Regardless of Chasi who guessed the wrong pattern and was stopped outside, Qiao Mu walked into the bar.It's not that he deliberately made it difficult for Chas, but the rules of the bar.Guessing cards is not so much a screening of identity as it is ability.People who do not have enough ability to guess the pattern on the back of the card will not be safe even if they enter the bar.Although Midnight does not allow people to make trouble in his territory, the weak will always have no human rights, and even Qiao Mu doesn't want to break the old man's rules because of this.

Through the dark and narrow corridors, the deafening music is full of movement.After a few turns, there is a hall that does not match the narrowness of the corridor.As soon as Qiao Mu stepped into the hall, dozens of pairs of fierce eyes shot at him unabashedly.But for these provocations, Qiao Mu didn't even bother to smile, he was just a bunch of dirty bastards.

But the half-breeds in the bar didn't have this composure. They had more or less suffered from the strongest exorcist.The vampire let go of the girl on his knees, several demons who were having sex stopped, the waiter holding the wine glass looked away from the guests, and even a few half-blood angels cast fearful glances at the man.

All hated him,

All fear him,

He is the exorcist who walks at sunset,

He is the reaper of sin,

He is John Constantine.

Passing through the hustle and bustle, turning a few corners, the noise gradually faded away, and a closed door appeared in front of you.Qiao Mu stopped at the door, and within half a minute, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked out from inside.The two looked into each other's eyes, but neither said a word.No matter how suits and leather shoes the person in front of him was, Qiao Mu could still smell the stinky sulfur smell on his body, and the rotting half of his face could not be covered by the human skin.

Without complaining about Midnight's taste, he walked slowly into the house.The heavy door closed silently behind him, separating the silence from the noise.Walking into the innermost room, the room is very dark. There is only a small bedside lamp in the empty room. The weak white light is very helpless in the vast darkness.Beside the lamp, the witch doctor sat on a tall chair, smoking a cigar, his face was blocked by the light and shadow, making it difficult to see clearly.

"You don't need to get up." Qiao Mu said as soon as he entered the room, and after stopping the other party's intention to get up, he moved a high-back chair and sat opposite the witch doctor.

"You haven't come here for a long time, and I thought you disappeared." The witch doctor looked up at his friend for many years, "Are you here to sell sacred objects this time?"

"No, I'm too busy, so I won't do that." Qiao Mu reached out, took out the cigar box from the witch doctor's pocket, took out one and enjoyed it, "It tastes good."

"I want to thank those half-blood angels for their planting talents." The witch doctor smiled, and pointed to the wine cabinet next to him, "You can do whatever you want."

"Then I won't be polite to you." Since the host is so generous, Qiao Mu is also polite, picking a glass of corn whiskey. "You always have something good here."

"Let's not talk about this, you don't look very good, did you hook up with a wild man somewhere, and ended up being drained?"

"Scary! How is it possible?" Qiao Mu made an exaggerated expression, "Is my complexion so obvious?"

"Obviously, it's just like time is running out." Speaking of this, the witch doctor also became serious, "Don't fool me, tell me the truth, what's going on? It's impossible for your own body to feel nothing at all. "

"..." Qiao Mu took a big gulp of whiskey, then took another sip of his cigar, his expression was gloomy.

Seeing him like that, the witch doctor knew that the matter was not simple. Thinking of the sporadic information he had collected over the years, his mood became serious, "Is it because of... him?"

"The power of Satan in my body has never been eliminated." Qiao Mu said after thinking about it, "That kind of negative energy keeps eroding my body, and I'm afraid I won't last long."

"Didn't you say it's been resolved?" The witch doctor frowned.

"It's not that easy. This is the injury left by a god-level powerhouse." Qiao Mu is also very distressed about his own injury. In recent years, the erosive power of this force has become stronger and stronger. It's about to fall into the hands of that pervert.

"Then what are you going to do? How long do you have left?"

"I don't know, maybe a few months, maybe a year, maybe a few years, let's take a look at it day by day." Qiao Mu has nothing to do about it, the law of the world has been helping him clean up these years, otherwise he might have finished playing son.But even so, he also knew that he couldn't last long, and there were two paths before him: first, to complete the task quickly, and then wait for death; second, to kill the pillar of the world, and he would naturally leave this world, but Looking at the composition of this world, it is impossible to say that after the death of the World Pillar, her soul will not die and go to heaven. Who knows whether the death of the World Pillar is judged by the body or the soul?Besides, is the pillar of the world so easy to kill?Don't get things done, the law withdraws help and throws itself to Satan, that's the real hard work.

"I heard thunder last night, it must be Satan's stomach growling."

"This joke is not funny." The witch doctor said with a sullen face, exhaling a beautiful smoke ring, "He will come to the world to take your soul himself."

"I know." Qiao Mu had no doubts about this, "That guy will not allow me to fall into other people's hands."

"Then, you don't come here to find comfort, do you?"

"There was an evil spirit blatantly attacking me on the street." Qiao Mu got to the point, "Do you know what this means?"

"They don't like you, John," said the witch doctor matter-of-factly. "How many ghosts have you sent back to hell?"

"But that's not a half-blood demon, but a pure-bred devil breaking into the human world." Qiao Mu emphasized the point, if only those half-blood bastards would not come to the witch doctor for help.

"You know it without telling me, it's impossible." The witch doctor didn't believe it, "If it is said that a pure-blooded demon broke into the world, I would believe that it was Satan who came looking for you."

"Yesterday I saw with my own eyes an evil spirit trying to break into the human world from a little girl." Qiao Mu ignored the other party's teasing, "Hannessy also knows."

"Listen, John. Devils stay in hell, and angels stay in heaven. This is the rule set by God and the devil." The witch doctor looked straight into Qiao Mu's eyes, "This cannot be changed."

"Thank you for teaching me." Qiao Mu was very dissatisfied with his old friend's stubbornness. He is not a fledgling, of course he knows these things.But the problem now is not this!

Not wanting to waste any more time with this guy, Qiao Mu directly proposed the ultimate purpose of this trip, "I need to use that chair."

"John, you will definitely die if you fight against the devil." The witch doctor's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the other party's behavior of courting death. "I must remain neutral."

"As long as the forces of good and evil maintain a balance, I will not interfere."

Hearing what the witch doctor said, a wave of disappointment and anger welled up in his heart. He couldn't believe that this cowardly man would be his best friend ever.Although they separated many years ago due to differences in ideas, they still maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship.Now he is still fighting on the verge of death, but the other party just wants to guard his one-acre three-point land and live a life of self-deception!

"Midnight, before you opened this shop, we were the best comrades in arms. You were the bravest witch doctor, and I was the most powerful exorcist. Before meeting Biman and Hanishi, we were back to back Killed hundreds of monsters, and now you are so timid! I..."

"John Constantine, the invincible exorcist, that was a long time ago."

"I have a hunch that this time is different from before." Qiao Mu took a deep breath to calm himself down, "some bad things are happening, and we don't know about it."

"John, I won't use the electric chair for you, it will kill you." The witch doctor insisted.

"No, Midnight, the electric chair is our common property, and I have the right to use it. It was only kept by you temporarily at first, it is our common spoils of war, and now I demand to use it!" Seeing that it didn't make sense, Qiao Mu simply became tough stand up.

"John, I will not allow you to do such a dangerous thing anyway, if you don't want to risk your life, then give up this idea!" Thinking of the cost and risk of using the electric chair, the witch doctor's attitude became more determined, "According I said, instead of you thinking about how to get rid of your life, you should think about why Satan is staring at you, this is the crux of the problem."

"Ha! Why is he staring at me? How do I know!" When Qiao Mu was mentioned, he became angry, "Maybe he's a pervert, maybe he's mentally ill, maybe I'm too unlucky, who knows!"

"No, listen to me, this matter is definitely not as simple as you think." The witch doctor's voice was hoarse and low, which was the sequelae of an operation against demons, "Satan is the existence second only to God, and he will not be for no reason Sleeping with a human being, let alone grabbing this human because of it!"

"...you know all of them?" Qiao Mu said in a shy voice.

"Do you think there are any high-level demons or archangels who don't know? Even the top managers in the world know about this." Seeing his friend's paler face instantly, the witch doctor knew that his words were serious, but there were some things he didn't know. I have to say, "Satan issued an arrest warrant for you, not offering a reward for your life, but announcing to the Three Realms that you are his, and any existence that dares to touch you is tantamount to making him his enemy."

"Why don't I know about this?"

"Because those who know about it can't speak, and those who can speak don't know."

"Then when did you know?"

"Not long." The witch doctor patted his friend on the back, "I didn't hide it on purpose, but I just couldn't find a suitable opportunity to speak."

"..." Slumped on the chair as if exhausted, Qiao Mu said dejectedly, "Then what do you want me to do? Just wait to die obediently, and then fall into Satan's hands? And then be locked in hell by him to have sex all day ?”

"...I didn't mean that." The witch doctor looked at his friend, and he was also very embarrassed, "Have you ever thought about why it is you? There are countless people who commit suicide every year, even if a few escape from hell Strange, but you are the only one that Satan has taken a fancy to?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"John, you are not a priest."

"Yes, that's right. But does it have anything to do with what we're talking about?" Qiao Mu felt that the witch doctor was really strange. Of course he wasn't a priest. Didn't everyone know that?

"But you can use the Bible and prayers, and this is the unique ability of priests. Have you thought about the reason?"

"Yes, maybe it's because of my extraordinary talent?" Qiao Mu became a little impatient, what exactly is this guy trying to express?

"The power of the Bible and prayers is the power that only the purest believers can use. It is a gift from the Heavenly Father to believers, and you are an unbeliever. Don't deny it. I know that you don't have pure faith in the Heavenly Father in your heart. Your so-called exorcism to protect the glory of the Heavenly Father is just trying to make a deal with the Heavenly Father, allowing him to allow you to enter heaven after your death."

"..." Although he wanted to deny it, Qiao Mu had to admit deep in his heart that the witch doctor was right.He is a complete atheist, and even because he has suffered too much at the hands of the gods, he hates all kinds of gods very much. "so what?"

"John, have you ever thought about..." At this point, the witch doctor licked his lips, as if he was nervous because of the horror of what he was going to say next, "You can have an abnormal priest who is stronger than a priest, and be Satan values ​​it, but feels bad because of the church murals. Regardless of the reason, you are indeed doing heroic work...John, have you ever thought that...in fact, you are...the Son of God?"
