[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

"Not very good." The doctor in the emergency department looked at the CT film in his hand with a serious face.

Of course it's not very good, how good can it be for a terminal lung cancer with only two or three months of life left?

The average person's body would break down long ago.

Not just shortness of breath and excruciating pain, but a host of serious complications that can completely destroy a person from the inside out.

"Haven't you ever taken a film before?" The doctor found it incredible, "The malignant tumor has deteriorated to such an extent that you can still run around outside?"

Ruby: "...Doctor, I am also very puzzled by your question."

It might be magic.

"I'm very sorry." The doctor looked at her with some regret, "We will try our best to treat it, but this requires your cooperation, which may extend your time."

We don't even talk about the hope of a cure, but only talk about prolonging the time, and it's a little bit of a little bit—one can imagine how desperately ill Constantine's body has become.

Ruby is about to crack.

"Doctor! You must save me!" She grabbed the doctor's hand, tears were about to flow down, "I'm still young, I don't want to die!"

doctor:"……"

The doctor looked at his bright and beautiful eyes like obsidian and his pale face that was sickly but still handsome, and blushed silently.

Ruby: "...?" Are you blushing like a hammer?

"You're right!" The doctor grabbed Ruby's paw as if he had been injected with chicken blood, "For an outstanding young man like you, his untimely death is a loss to the whole world!"

Ruby: "..."

Constantine: "..."

Pour, don't you need to pour?

Ruby thought about it carefully, this seems to be true?After all, Constantine's power is too strong, I don't know how many demons he killed and how many lives were saved. If he died, it would indeed be a loss for the whole world.

... But the problem is that this guy has already smoked himself!

Who can blame this! ?

The doctor hurriedly opened a bunch of orders for Ruby: "Go through the hospitalization procedures first. Your situation is not optimistic. If you don't treat it, you will be sent to the intensive care unit. Then we will immediately consult with experts."

Ruby: "Uh... Actually, I have other things..."

Doctor: "Other things? Is there anything more important than your own life?"

Ruby: "..."

Seems to make sense?

"Then, Constantine, why don't we go to the hospital first?" She said to Constantine in her body.

"You don't care about that family anymore?"

"... But this illness can't be delayed, right?" Ruby hesitated.

Constantine was silent for a moment, then said, "You decide for yourself."

After all, the control of the body is in her hands.

"Speaking of which," Ruby said, "you're actually quite rich."

Such an expensive medical bill was cleared without blinking an eye. Ruby glanced at the balance quietly. The long list of numbers on it made her eyes hurt.

Constantine: "The poor are not the only ones haunted by demons. The rich are willing to pay a lot of money to keep themselves alive."

"Then how much do you charge to exorcise rich people?" Ruby asked.

"It depends on your mood," Constantine said.

Ruby remembered the last time they exorcized a poor family, and Constantine seemed to only charge him a dollar.

She suddenly felt a little emotional.

Unexpectedly, this guy is unexpectedly...very gentle?

Seeing that Ruby was in a daze, the doctor said aloud, "Is there any other problem? If not, I'll ask the nurse to push a wheelchair over and take you through the formalities."

The doctor also knew that the man in front of him was about to be critically ill, and it would definitely be unrealistic for him to run errands by himself.

"Uh, yes. Doc, can you prescribe me some painkillers?" Ruby asked.

"Okay, but you go through the hospitalization procedures first. Your illness can't be delayed any longer. You must start treatment immediately." The doctor was stern and impartial.

……

An hour later, Ruby, who managed to get a lot of painkillers and cough medicines, quietly slipped out of the inpatient ward.

She hid at the corner of the corridor and looked around, like a thief.

"Do you know how stupid your action is now?" Constantine couldn't stand it anymore.

"I can't be discovered by the doctor." Ruby said seriously, "otherwise I might be locked up in the ward and given a sedative."

"You're not in a madhouse," Constantine said.

"Yeah, lunatics don't have terminal lung cancer and rely on themselves not to die for a while, running around and fighting with demons." Ruby said.

Constantine: "..."

Thank you, it has been connoted.

"This area is full of critically ill patients." Ruby said, "Just because of the time the two of you are talking, maybe someone died."

Constantine: "Oh."

Ruby: "...Why don't you be so indifferent!"

Constantine was about to say something when Ruby saw at the end of the corridor suddenly a humanoid creature in a white hospital gown with disheveled hair ignoring gravity and crawling across the ceiling on hands and feet.

Ruby: "...Damn it."

Ruby: "...Kang, Constantine, was that ghost just now?"

Constantine: "What else? Spider-Man?"

Ruby: "Bah bah bah, it's bad luck, you! Don't mess with cue Xiao...don't mess with Spider-Man, okay?"

Constantine: "Oh, you still know Peter Parker, he is your ex?"

Ruby: "How do you know... Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

I'm tired and don't want to talk to smart people.

"People die every day in this kind of place. Isn't it normal to have ghosts?" Constantine said lazily, "As long as they don't hurt people, just leave them alone."

Seeing his calm look, Ruby began to wonder if it was because she was so rare...

……

After 10 minutes, Ruby finally escaped from the hospital.

She took a breath of the fresh air outside and was quite emotional: "Sure enough, the air that does not contain formalin smells the best."

"I agree." Constantine said.

"So, where does that family live?" Ruby said as she walked along the road.

"It's not far from here." Constantine said, "It's a small villa in the suburbs. It takes an hour by taxi."

Ruby stopped on the side of the road and waited for a taxi. She stood for a while, and suddenly felt a little irritable. She couldn't help but fumbled in her pocket, and managed to find a pack of cigarettes from it.

For some reason, when she touched the cigarette, she felt a very pleasant feeling, and even had the urge to light one immediately to refresh herself.

Ruby: "...Constantine."

Constantine: "Huh?"

Ruby: "Are you addicted to cigarettes?"

Constantine: "No, I feel better now."

Ruby was stunned: "—that's because you have taken over my healthy body! You bastard! You are addicted to cigarettes, you bastard!"

You know, smoking addiction is not entirely a psychological dependence.

Physical dependence is also very serious.

Constantine was silent for a while, and suddenly felt a little funny for no reason: "...Then, why don't you have one? The taste is quite good, maybe you will like it."

Ruby: "..."

Ruby looked down, and found that during the few seconds of chatting with Constantine, her hand had automatically pulled out a cigarette and stuck it between her fingers, and the movement was so skillful that it made people feel distressed.

The hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

"No!" Ruby threw the cigarette directly into the sewer, "I definitely don't smoke! As long as I stay in your shell for a day, you don't even want to touch a little nicotine!"

"Okay, you can do whatever you want," Constantine said.

……

It is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do.

On the way to the haunted house, Ruby's mind is full of the pack of cigarettes she put in her pocket.

Hell, she now craves cigarettes thousands of times more than she craves dessert!Is this the addiction to smoking? It's terrible!

Ruby was so irritable that she lowered the car window roughly, and took a deep breath of fresh air outside.

"Just try it if it doesn't work," Constantine said. "It's not that bad, trust me."

"I don't." Ruby said stubbornly.

"Then you can only endure the addiction to cigarettes." Constantine said.

He knew how terrible this feeling was. Not letting him smoke was worse than killing him.

"Mainly, your body really can't smoke anymore," Ruby said.

"..." Constantine sighed lightly and said nothing more.

The little guy would rather endure this terrible addiction by himself than take a puff through someone else's shell-to be honest, although Constantine didn't care about his illness, he was still touched to some extent.

At this moment, the driver seemed to see Ruby's anxiety, he turned around with a smile and said, "Dude, are you addicted to cigarettes?"

"Yeah, quit smoking." Ruby said wearily.

"Here you are." The driver threw a small box to him, "It works."

Ruby looked down——

Quit smoking gum.

Ruby's eyes slowly lit up.

……

The taxi stopped outside a suburban villa.

Ruby, who was chewing gum viciously, walked out of the taxi with slender legs, and looked up at the gloomy house.

At a glance, she saw a body with disheveled hair hanging from a big tree in the yard of the villa.

Ruby: "..."

Blinking, the corpse disappeared again.

Constantine said: "It really looks a little unclean."

Ruby: "You, you, you, you have a way to deal with them, right?"

Constantine chuckled lightly: "Let's go and have a look first."

Ruby had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked into the house.

The family in the house had been so frightened that they moved out overnight and hid the keys under the mat at the door.

"It's useless." Constantine said, "The devil has already marked their family."

Ruby glanced at the interior of the house, and it looked like a normal decoration, and the interior design was quite cozy.

It's just that many corners are entwined with black mist exuding a vicious aura, which looks inexplicably evil. Ruby even felt that the moment she stepped into the room, the temperature around her dropped several degrees.

"...It's hard to handle." Constantine said, "The devil in this room has some skills."

If you let him do the exorcism, you don't need to waste much effort, but if you let Ruby, who doesn't know much about exorcism and has a power that doesn't belong to her, do the exorcism...

She can't even speak Latin, let alone recite spells in the even weirder-sounding Abyssal language.

Constantine felt that if he was that demon, he would have laughed out loud by now.

"Is it a ghost like Kayako?" Ruby asked, "The kind that kills everyone who enters the house?"

"Almost," Constantine said.

"Understood." Ruby nodded, "Then let's flatten this house!!"

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to recite mantras, physical exorcism is enough! !

Constantine: "..."
