[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Constantine walked slowly into the alley.

He glanced up at the sky, blocked by old, moss-covered buildings.

Winter in New York is always very cold, today is just a cloudy day, the sky is gray, as if covered with a layer of fog, and the air is so humid that water can be squeezed out.The cold wind from the Atlantic Ocean pouring into the land was like a knife mixed with ice chips, raging more violently in the narrow alley, blowing his long black trench coat to rattle.

Constantine lit a cigarette with his back to the direction the wind was blowing, and held it to his mouth.

He squatted down in front of the bullet that was crushed into a ball of metal powder, stretched out his fingers and rubbed it lightly.

"Not a demon, nor black magic, a creature never seen before...?"

Under his fingers, the metal powder seemed to be affected by some strong magnetic field, and suddenly began to move spontaneously, slowly forming a symbol that didn't look like any language.

"..." Constantine's dark, bottomless eyes looked in the direction indicated by the symbol.

He stood up and left the alley with a cigarette in his mouth.

Behind him, metal fragments suddenly spontaneously ignited, and the ice-blue flame jumped in the cold wind until it went out.

……

"Clark Kent, Clark Kent..." Ruby walked through the streets and alleys, talking about the S-class host body that she finally found.

In the eyes of passers-by, this is a glossy black kitten that came out of nowhere, meowing non-stop in the cold wind while stepping on a cheerful kitten walk.

"Oh, how pitiful." An old aunt passing by glanced at Ruby, "It must be the estrus period, it would be great if someone with good intentions would come and take her to be sterilized."

Ruby almost exploded on the spot: "People say it? People say it!!"

System: "What are you afraid of, anyway, you don't have that organ."

Ruby: "...Thank you for reminding me."

"Looking for a needle in a haystack like this is not enough." Ruby said, "I still have to find a human to follow, so that I can easily collect information. I look like a cat now, and I can't even buy a decent newspaper!"

"Are you referring to the feat of trying to steal a newspaper from a newsstand just now, but being chased down the street with a feather duster?" the system said mercilessly.

"...Wh, what is stealing! Can the little cat's reading be called stealing?"

Just when Ruby was squatting on the street, looking at the people coming and going, not knowing which human being to choose was better, she suddenly felt someone behind her stopped, blocking the sun, and shrouding her in a shadow inside.

——Who, didn't you see that this is the territory of the little cat?

Ruby turned her head and was about to growl at the evil cat, but before she could open her mouth, she felt herself being picked up by the back of her neck.

Ruby: ...Yes, someone stole the cat!

She opened her mouth and let out a fierce "meow", and was about to give this unruly human being a face-breaking claw, but stopped when she raised her little claw.

She saw the person's character panel.

【John Constantine (S-Class)】

Bewitching degree: 0%

Fit: 0%

……

Ruby couldn't help laughing three times.

"System, do you know what the Chosen One is? Of course I won't try to find an S-level host body, I want the S-level host body to come to me!"

System: ... can't shrink thick hair.

"I have to remind you, not every S-level is easy to get along with, think about the Red Skull." The system quickly reminded a certain little black cat who was getting carried away.

"Hmph, just like last time, I sneaked in, pretending that I was a ghost..." Ruby said as she got into Constantine's body through physical contact.

system:……

Ruby: ...

A second later, Ruby escaped from Constantine's body at the speed of light, and got back into the little black cat's body.

Then, Constantine looked at the little black cat in his hand with a dumbfounded expression, as if someone had hit him with a sap, doubting the cat's life, the whole cat was stunned.

Constantine reached out and pinched the little black cat's face.

He was already very good-looking, but his face was pale, with a tired and sickly appearance, and he looked a little thin and frail.But his hand is very steady, especially when holding Ruby, it will neither make the kitten in his hand feel pain, nor let her escape at will.

"What's the matter?" He asked casually with a cigarette in his mouth, "Why don't you come in?"

Ruby: ...fuck, he knows.

System: shit.

The symbiosis and the system are all confused at this moment.

Ruby subconsciously said, "You...you are going to die."

It wasn't that Ruby was swearing.

It's a statement of fact.

Constantine laughed, but it lasted only for a moment before he coughed violently.He obviously didn't want to let this symptom go, he took two steps back with the kitten, leaned against the wall, clenched the cigarette between his teeth, and tried hard to suppress the desire to cough, which made the veins in his pale and slender neck stand out , Even cold sweat seeped out.

Ruby was stunned.

The moment she entered Constantine's body, she discovered it.

The man who looked sick in front of him was really sick.

He is terminally ill, with advanced lung cancer. It is conservatively estimated that he has less than half a year to live. This is based on the premise that he is willing to cooperate with the treatment and work hard to fight against the disease. He probably won't last three months.

Of course, this was not the reason why Ruby exited his body at the speed of light. She exited because the strong smell of smoke, alcohol, and even sulfur flowed from this person's body.At that moment, she even felt that she had fallen into hell, and Ruby, who was used to staying in a clean body like Steve and Peter and who had been pampered for a long time, almost died on the spot.

"Ahem..." Constantine finally stopped coughing, and then he said slowly, "Yes, so what?"

Ruby was taken aback again.

"With this attitude towards life and death, I respect him as a man." Ruby said.

System: Be careful, this person is not normal.

Ruby: ...Nonsense!

Can the concentration of tobacco and alcohol in the blood be adjusted by normal people!This guy must smoke at least [-] cigarettes a year to reach this height!

Simply stunning! !

"You should go to the hospital." Ruby slapped the cigarette dangling from his mouth with a paw.

He's coughing like this, yet he still refuses to put a cigarette in his mouth. Could it be that this person is reincarnated from a pipe?

Constantine raised his other free hand and held it in the air, and the half-smoked cigarette was suspended in the air.

System: Oh roar.

Ruby:? ?What the hell?magic?Graduated from Hogwarts?

He stuffed the cigarette into his mouth again, and left the street corner with Ruby in his arms.

Ruby: ...Help, this man is really stealing cats!

"Stop barking." Constantine hugged the little black cat to his chest and rubbed her little head.

"What are you going to do? Where is this taking me?" Ruby curled up against Constantine's chest and looked up at his thin chin.

"Go buy some salt to drive away evil spirits, and then draw a magic circle to burn you." Constantine said the most ruthless words in the most gentle tone with no expression on his face.

Ruby: ...?This man is not here to steal the cat, this man is here to abuse the cat! !

"Hey hey hey, we have no grievances and no enmity, isn't this bad, brother?" Ruby was about to slap his paw on his face and run away resolutely, but found that she couldn't even move.

"Indeed, but a few guys paid me to do the exorcism." Constantine threw the finished cigarette into the trash can, skillfully took out his lighter from his pocket, and swiped it Lighted the fire, "It's all about doing things with money."

Ruby looked at the dancing flames on the lighter in his hand, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, and turned into a tearful cat head: "I'm not a ghost! Brother, you, you, you exorcised the wrong demon!"

System: It's really a turn of events. This person was going to pretend to be a ghost to scare people before, but now he withers away immediately... He is a good player who bullies the weak and fears the hard.

Ruby is dizzy: You are still talking sarcasticly, please help!

Constantine lit another cigarette and put it in his mouth, put away the lighter, spit out a mouthful of white mist casually, lowered his head and smiled at the kitten.

He is indeed very beautiful, especially when he smiles, he loses his expressionless and stern edge, and looks even more unrestrained: "Then what are you?"

Ruby: "I... I'm not a devil anyway, don't kill the wrong good man!"

"Good guy? Are you human?" Constantine asked.

"I, even if I'm not a human, I'm not a ghost either!" Ruby burst open.

She suddenly felt, could this be her retribution for pretending to be a ghost to scare Peter?Sure enough, she shouldn't have lied, this world is really unhappy with karmic retribution, and this world's retribution came too fast...

While talking, they walked from the bright and beautiful streets of New York to the dark and deserted alleys. There are few people here, and it seems that the temperature has dropped several degrees. The cold wind poured in, and the little black cat curled up in Constantine's arms suddenly became cold. Frozen, instinctively shrank back to a warmer place in his arms.

Ruby: ...It's okay if this place is so cold, why is this guy's chest so cold!

With a cigarette in his mouth, Constantine shook his wrist lightly, closed the lid of the lighter with a snap, and stuffed it into the pocket of his windbreaker.He seemed to feel the fur ball in his arms shivering from the cold, so he carried the kitten into a dimly lit bar by the side of the road.

The bar door closed behind him, keeping out the biting wind.

It may be because during the day, there are few people in the bar, only the sleepy bartender on the bar counter, after seeing Constantine coming in, he nodded to him from a distance.

"Devils are always good at deceiving people." Constantine said as he found an unoccupied small sofa and sat down. He put the kitten in his hand on his lap, and stretched out his hand to gently press it. Caught her soft and furry little head.

Ruby just wanted to escape, but found that she was still unable to move.

Not only can't move, but there is no way to release the possessed state, as if locked by something.Constantine's thin and pale hands were like a cage, locking her soul and her penis tightly together, making her unable to move.

"Is this magic?" Ruby thought desperately.

System: Use magic to defeat magic!

Ruby: I can't do magic! !Is it too late for me to write to Hogwarts to apply to be their cook! ?Anyway, let me steal the teacher!

System: Make you a cook?Even the entire Hogwarts kitchen will be eaten up by you, and the students will starve to death.

Ruby: ...Not really.

Constantine shook the ashes of the cigarette in his hand, and he wiped the ashes on the glass table in front of the sofa, and moved spontaneously, forming a shape of a magic circle, from which a scarlet light rose.

"It doesn't matter if you don't burn yourself to death." Constantine took another puff of cigarette, coughed for a while, and then he recovered, and said softly, "I can open the passage to hell and send you back to your hometown , your father Satan and the demon family must miss you very much."

System: ... No!no!Stop him quickly!

Ruby, who was still curious about the glowing magic circle, froze on the spot: Huh?

System: I don't have a signal in hell, so I can't revive you!And you definitely can't survive in hell, it's full of magma!

Ruby: Is there really hell?

System: ... Yes!But that's not the point!You have a stronger desire to survive, okay?

When the system said this, Ruby suddenly remembered that when she was on the symbiote planet, the system had no signal, which made her wait for several years for a chance to leave that ghost place!

Ruby was taken aback on the spot.

"Don't, don't, big brother! You are my brother!" Ruby said hurriedly, "I promise to tell the truth, okay? I will never lie to you!"

Constantine raised one eyebrow, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "Is this a contract?"

"Yes, yes, yes! You say yes!" Ruby hurriedly lowered herself to be a small child, with a strong desire to survive, for fear that this big brother would throw her into hell if she was unhappy.

Constantine put the cigarette in his mouth and smiled in a low voice. After a long while, a few strange pronunciations of an unknown language popped out of his mouth. Along with the chanting of the spell, the magic circle he drew Rising slowly, floating between Ruby and Constantine.

"brush--"

A golden and red light flashed in front of Ruby's eyes, and she closed her eyes subconsciously.

"Okay, it's okay." Constantine let go of Ruby's head, "The contract is complete."

Ruby froze for a moment: "Wait... Isn't that magic circle just now a passage to hell?"

"A passage to hell?" Constantine blinked. "No, it's just contract magic. I can't open the passage between hell and the world...at least not now."

Ruby: ...wait a minute, so this guy was just lying to me?

System: ...So you just signed a contract with others that you can't lie?

Ruby: How do I know if what he said is true!What if!If I was really thrown into hell, there would be no way to revive me!

System: ... It's hard for you.

Ruby was about to die of rage, feeling inexplicably thrown into the basin of IQ.She grinned, showing extremely sharp teeth, and meowed fiercely at Constantine: "You lied to me! It's too much!! You're so sick that you don't accumulate virtue for yourself, As long as you are an individual, you will not be so sick! Maybe this is retribution, you big liar!!"

Constantine froze for a moment, his eyes as deep as the starry sky seemed to have some trance emotion flashed past.

"Retribution?" He suddenly laughed softly, and couldn't stop laughing until the laughter turned into a heart-piercing cough.

This time he couldn't even hold the cigarette steady, letting the half-smoked cigarette fall to the floor.He covered his mouth and tried hard to resist the urge to cough. After a while, he put down his hand with a pale face, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped away the blood on his palm.

The way he wiped the blood off his hands was so rough that Ruby suspected that he wasn't trying to wipe the blood off, but that he wanted to scratch his own skin and get more blood.

"You're right, I think so too." He looked up at the kitten, his movements were rough, but his tone was low and gentle, "But the doctors said I smoked too much, they didn't understand, You still have to ask me to quit smoking... Quack doctors are harmful."

After he finished speaking, he threw away the soiled handkerchief, took another leisure to light a cigarette, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to puff leisurely.

Ruby: ...Although I got very angry just now and said a bit too much, this person is really abnormal.

Not only is the body abnormal, but the brain is also abnormal! !
