[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Constantine came out of the pharmacy.

He habitually wanted to light a cigarette, but a small silver hand protruding from his shoulder held down the lid of the lighter.

Ruby: "No, you don't want to."

Constantine: ...

He silently put the lighter back, opened the cough syrup he just bought from the pharmacy, and swallowed it twice.

Ruby felt very puzzled: "You are so sick, is it really helpful to drink this children's cough syrup?"

After Constantine finished drinking, he put away the medicine bottle and said perfunctorily, "It's useless."

Ruby: "...then why are you still drinking it?"

Constantine said casually, "Sweet."

Ruby: "..."

She said excitedly: System, system, see!Here's someone who's more sugar addicted than me!

The system said coolly: Do you think he is healthy?

Ruby: You can’t say that. Scientists have also found that the death rate of human beings eating sugar is [-]%.

System: Yes, everyone who drank the water died in the end.

Ruby: So I never drink water.

System: ...You don't seem to have a mouth to drink water!

……

The cough syrup seemed to have really helped, and Constantine didn't cough for half an hour, which made Ruby, who was attached to him, feel much more comfortable.

After all, no one wants the people around them to cough painfully all the time and cough up blood from time to time.

——Looking at it makes people feel a phantom pain in the lungs.

Constantine began to touch the lighter habitually again, and Ruby said helplessly, "Don't you really want to live a few more days? What can you do if you don't smoke a cigarette?"

Constantine put the cigarette in his mouth, sighed, and said helplessly, "Why are you still here?"

Ruby: ...? ? ?

What's the matter with these people?Hundreds of millions of people in this world want to possess her, why do you S-ranks despise her so much?

Is it poisonous?

Ruby glanced at Constantine's character panel.

【John Constantine (S-Class)】

Bewitching degree: 0%

Fit: 12%

……

Unaffected by bewitchment and tyranny, this man who can't even resist the temptation of cigarettes can be directly immune to her two negative effects!

Ruby: What kind of monsters are you all...

Ruby said unconvinced: "Why can't I stay with you?"

Constantine lit a cigarette and held it between his fingertips: "Don't you think I'm in poor health?"

Ruby: "...Actually, it's not that bad."

System: Because this guy who talks nonsense and talks nonsense didn't find a new home, what an obvious answer!

Ruby: What do you know!This is called pulling out every S-grade wool, I have to hurry up and increase the high temperature resistance, and open the world invincible mode!If I can't move, I will leave immediately, if I stay for one more second, I will lose!

Of course, the most important thing is the contract between them.

Ruby knew very well that this contract was definitely not signed by Constantine on a whim, he must have some kind of premeditation.And before this contract is activated, Constantine will never let her have an accident.

—He would keep her safe instead.

Constantine chuckled, "Really?"

Ruby: ...cough.

Constantine didn't make things difficult for the little symbiont anymore, he said, "It's fine to stay with me, but don't disturb my work."

Ruby wondered: "Work?"

This guy looks like a vagrant, but he still has a job?

Ruby couldn't imagine Constantine wearing a suit and tie and going to work from [-] to [-].

……

Soon, Ruby knew what this "job" was all about.

"Every night when I'm sleeping, it will come out and lie outside the window and stare at me, with blood all over its face!" A nervous middle-aged man said tremblingly, "It's disheveled, just lying on the Outside the window, sometimes it was still hanging upside down, just staring at me with wide eyes, sometimes smiling at me, and the blood flowed out from the eyes and mouth of that thing—”

Constantine spit out a mouthful of white mist expressionlessly: "What time?"

Middle-aged man: "Huh?"

Constantine repeated: "What time do you show up every night?"

The middle-aged man trembled: "Around ten or twelve o'clock..."

"Then I'll come back when the time comes." After finishing speaking, Constantine stood up, ready to leave the small room.

"Wait, wait a minute!" The middle-aged man said in a cold sweat, "Can you please stay here to protect me, I, I can add more money!"

Constantine looked back with a cigarette in his mouth: "No need."

After speaking, he turned around and left, completely ignoring the trembling legs of the middle-aged man who was haunted by ghosts behind him.

Ruby couldn't stand it anymore: "...you can't help him? He looks so scared, anyway, you have nothing else to do."

Konstantin walked out of the apartment building, squinting his eyes due to the oncoming wind: "It's not necessary."

He has performed so many exorcisms, and he has long been accustomed to the victim's fear and anxiety.

"You guys really don't have empathy, can you at least give people some psychological comfort if you stay?" Ruby muttered.

Constantine's stepping foot paused in the air, then retracted.He walked back to the room, took out a button from his pocket, and handed it to the man.

The middle-aged man took the button with a puzzled expression: "This is..."

Constantine was a little impatient, and whispered, "I can help you resist an attack by evil spirits."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly exulted: "Thank you very much, sir! This, this thing is not cheap, is it there? Are there any more?"

Constantine raised his eyebrows: "No more."

After speaking, he turned and left again.

Ruby was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to go back to help. Is that button so magical?"

Constantine: "No, I just said nonsense, it's just an ordinary button."

Ruby: "......"

Constantine: "Didn't you say you wanted to give him psychological comfort? He is safe now, and the evil spirits won't come to him before twelve o'clock."

Ruby: "... What kind of scumbag are you talking about running trains!"

Constantine chuckled lightly, as if he had heard something particularly funny: "Yes, did you know the first day?"

Ruby: "..." What the hell is going on with this man, he can be so righteous that it makes people speechless!

……

But to be honest, Ruby is still a little curious about the work of the exorcist.

So, after finally waiting until almost twelve o'clock in the evening, Konstantin came to the middle-aged man's room with a face of reluctance, as if he was forced to open business, and sat on a chair, smoking a cigarette while waiting for the ghost to appear .

"Are you sure we don't need to draw some magic circles?" Ruby was eager to try.

She had never done magic before!

"No need." Constantine said boredly.

A mere little devil in the middle of nowhere doesn't need him to make such sufficient preparations in advance.

Seeing his half-dead appearance, Ruby hated iron for being weak: "...Why don't you have any sense of ritual at all, this is an exorcism!"

Constantine was expressionless: "I've been driving for almost 20 years."

Not only is there no sense of ceremony, but it even feels a little annoying.

After all, have you seen a few people who have been in school for more than ten years and are still full of enthusiasm for class, and who are still fighting every day like a chicken blood after attending class for more than ten years?

Ruby: "..."

Makes sense.

While talking, the lights above their heads suddenly flickered on and off, and a gust of wind blew in, sending chills down the spine.

"Here we come." Constantine finally pulled himself together and sat up straight.

With a snap, all the lights were extinguished at this moment. In the darkness, only the cigarette lit by Constantine's mouth was still glowing.

Constantine lighted the lighter conveniently, illuminating a small part of the room.He uttered a few spells in a strange language that Ruby couldn't understand.

System: It is Abyssal language.

Ruby: ... Anyway, I just don't understand.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all, and even the wind calmed down.

Ruby started to yawn: "Konstantin, did you scare people away by scolding some bad words just now? Why suddenly..."

Before she finished speaking, Ruby relied on Constantine's psychic vision to see a magnified, bloody, pale grimace suddenly appearing in front of her.

Ruby: "..."

She let out an unprecedented scream that could wake up all the voice-activated lights on the first floor to the tenth floor on the spot: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Konstantin, who was not frightened by the ghost, but dazed by Ruby: "..."

Just such a dazed effort, he felt that his eyes were blurred, and he was forcibly possessed by Ruby, a small symbiote. Without further ado, he hit the female ghost with an iron fist in the face, and then ran away from the door!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Ruby cried out of fright while fleeing, "so ugly, so ugly! Begging for a pair of eyes that have never seen a grimace!"

Constantine whose body was controlled and forced to cry like a dog: "..."

Standing in the distance watching the whole process of exorcism, only to find that the exorcist punched the ghost and ran away screaming: "...?"

Constantine was a little dizzy, he only felt the burning pain from his fist, the little symbiote did a physical exorcism regardless, and he had to wash his hands with holy water later.

Constantine quickly regained his body, wiped away the tears that Ruby cried, turned around and ran back to the room, thinking that the female ghost might have run away, but found that the female ghost was sitting on the ground, clutching the quilt His nose was beaten and he screamed in pain. Seeing Constantine rushing in, he looked at him in shock.

Constantine: "..."

Female ghost: "..."

The scene was once very harmonious.

Constantine reacted extremely quickly, and immediately spit out two weird syllables from his mouth with a cigarette in his mouth, each of which was heavy and powerful, making the female ghost's scream even more miserable.Then he tore off the white curtain and covered it with the female ghost who wanted to rush over to attack him.

He took out four iron nails from nowhere, and with a flick of his hand, the four corners of the curtain were nailed to the ground.

After doing all this, he ignored the female ghost who was struggling and screaming frantically in the curtain, and moved a chair to sit down in a leisurely manner.

The little symbiote was about to be frightened to death: "You, you, what are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and save this female ghost!?"

Constantine took a puff of smoke: "The sense of ritual you want."

Ruby: ...

Constantine took another deep breath, and coldly recited a spell that Ruby couldn't understand at all.

The female ghost's screams became more and more shrill, like the sound of sharp nails hanging on a plastic plate, which made Ruby feel so uncomfortable that she simply stretched out two small hands from Constantine's shoulders to help him cover his ears.

Constantine: "?"

His incantation seemed to pause for a moment, then resumed.

The female ghost screamed even worse, and even started to squirt blood everywhere. The snow-white curtains were covered with red and black blood, which was extremely scary.At the same time, other furniture in the room also began to shake crazily, as if they were about to take off in place and spiral into the sky in the next second.

Ruby was terrified. She had seen many strange enemies before, but when had she ever seen such a haunted situation?She chirped and said: "The demons and ghosts leave quickly, the demons and ghosts leave quickly..."

The system was dizzy with joy: How did you scare Peter back then?Is this the turn of events?

Konstantin didn't seem to see the situation around him at all, still holding a cigarette, leaning on the back of the chair, chanting incantations that no one could understand in a steady tone.

Finally, the female ghost uttered an unprecedented mournful cry, and suddenly exploded into a ball of black blood in the curtain. At the same time, the curtain that lost its support collapsed and fell to the ground.

Constantine finally stopped chanting.

He conveniently lit a match and threw it on the curtain, and the blazing flame illuminated the room brightly.

"Dead, dead?" Ruby, who was still in shock, put down her little hand covering Constantine's ear and said cowardly.

"It just rushed back to where it should be." Constantine watched the curtains in front of him burn to ashes, knelt down and took back the four iron nails.

"What's that?" Ruby asked curiously.

"Saint Undermar's coffin nails," said Constantine.

Ruby almost thought she heard it wrong: "...did you dig out the nails from his coffin?"

Constantine: "..."

Ruby turned pale with shock: "What a loss, you, you will lose your life, do you know? No wonder your days are coming to an end, how many immoral things have you done!"

Constantine was expressionless: "The church still collects the shroud of Jesus as a sacred object."

Ruby: "..."

Did Jesus really not be scared to death after seeing it? !

Maybe he was choked by the fire that just started, so Constantine coughed twice and said, "Is there anything wrong with using the things of the dead to protect the living?"

Ruby: "..."

It feels weird, but it makes sense...

Why can Constantine always say some fallacies that people cannot refute!

Ruby was lost in thought.

She asked again: "Why do you have to set up a curtain to cover the ghosts? Is there any particularity to this?"

Constantine exhaled a mouthful of white mist and said, "No."

Ruby: "...Didn't that burn a curtain for nothing?"

Constantine was a little impatient, he said, "Don't you think this ghost is too ugly?"

Ruby froze for a moment.

She asked the system incredulously: Am I hearing it wrong, or is Constantine really understanding my feelings?Did he take the wrong medicine?

System: ......... Don't ask me anything about the magic side, thank you.
