Killing Mary Sue [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

In the early morning, Jane opened her eyes and stretched her body in front of the window refreshed. After washing and changing her clothes, she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door calmly, and then saw Constantine standing outside the door with dark circles under his eyes and bruises at the corners of his mouth. His hair was disheveled, his windbreaker was wrinkled, and there were slight scratch marks on his neck. Staring at her with deep hatred and hatred, he immediately said, "Are you a devil?"

Jane folded her arms and replied calmly, "Yes. At least, you had a good time last night, didn't you? ——It must have been an eye-opener, Mr. Constantine?"

When John said a word, he hissed because of the small wound at the corner of his mouth. Seeing Jane's reticent attitude, he knew that he had kicked on the iron plate, but he was very unwilling in his heart, and couldn't help but groaned strangely. "It turns out that the 'Holy Maiden' of the church also understands this... If I hadn't been around for a long time and my skills are still passable, I might have been raped on the spot last night—"

As he spoke, he raised his voice, questioned and repeated, "Pure M? Huh? Heavy taste? Still tricky? I'm hard to satisfy? Need some tough tricks?!"

The more he talked, the more he wanted to throw the table, and couldn't help but thump on the door frame hard.Unexpectedly, although the hotel was small, it was of high quality. The moment the bone and the wood came into contact with each other, his face was distorted.

"I said, luv, yesterday was my treat. Is that why you don't like to do something happy?"

Seeing Jane's unmoved look, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, raised his brows, and said with a frivolous and tentative look, "Or...you just don't want to be with a boy So that kind of thing? - you have a clean freak?"

Jane glanced at him, passed through the gap between him and the door frame lightly, and replied lightly as she walked forward, "For me, there are too many things in this world that are happier than this and don't hurt my vitality."

Konstantin kept his hands in the windbreaker pocket, and followed her briskly, with a disapproving expression on his face, "I don't agree with that...for example?"

Jane replied naturally, "—to eat."

"..."

……

Ten minutes later, the blond exorcist stared at Jane Doe, who was bargaining with the aunt selling coffee and desserts not far away, with an indescribable expression on his face, and fell into deep thought.

Not only did this woman not have the vigor and playful nature of a young man, but she also brought cash out of the house!It doesn't matter if you don't swipe your card, and you will bargain!Along the way, he witnessed with his own eyes that the other party would deliberately choose to participate in the discounted set meal when buying breakfast, and he also looked calm and commonplace! ——Could it be that the church has fallen to this point?Even the demon sealer with special ability is so grounded?

Constantine leaned on the statue in the square, and began to reflect on his erroneous idea that he wanted to join the church for a moment: Maybe he is the one who has a better life?

"Here." Just as she was letting go of her thoughts, a cup of hot coffee was suddenly handed in front of her. Constantine raised her head along her wrist. Jane's face was calm. Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, she replied, "No?"

Of course not!Constantine shook his head resolutely, took a sip of the coffee with disapproval, but was surprised to find that the taste was unexpectedly authentic and strong.He couldn't help but look at the coffee in an ordinary paper cup for a few seconds. It looked like instant coffee from a street stall. The packaging was inconspicuous or even inferior, and it was only for the poor and those with limited budgets. He bought similar beverages for office workers in the UK, and the taste was indescribable. He thought that this kind of coffee was mostly like this, but he didn't expect the coffee here to be so delicious.

Constantine raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to look at Jane curiously. The other party took a sip calmly, and it seemed that he had no intention of answering his question.

He had no choice but to take the initiative to start asking her, "Have you been here before?"

Jane let out a "huh" without changing her expression.

No wonder I didn't see her using any map tool yesterday, so she took me through the streets and alleys very familiarly, and I also know the average price of male jocks in the vicinity. The dignified church demon sealer will buy this kind of street coffee that tourists don't choose... ...Greatly, she has been here before, and the bargaining is so natural and skillful.

Constantine couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "Could it be that your church can't even pay for the official expenses of expatriates, and let you pay for it yourself?"

As he spoke, he gestured to her for the empty paper cup in his hand.

Jane didn't give him a straight look, and he choked him instantly with a sentence that was only a matter of course.

"No." The woman in black looked calm, "I'm bribing you."

Constantine's unbelievable expression, "—a cup of coffee from a roadside stall? I'm so cheap?!"

Jane nodded, "Self-knowledge is valuable, Mr. Constantine, please keep it up."

"..."

The blond exorcist was silent for a moment.

"I want to eat a mouthful of burgers." He said, seeing Jane turned her head, he was smug, "Even if you want to sell your soul, you have to find a good price, don't you?"

So accusing her of being stingy while pleading for a mouthful?Jane looked at him solemnly for a moment, then sighed slightly——

"make a deal."

……

……

An hour later, Kutna Hora, a small town about 70 kilometers east of Prague.

This small town in central Bohemia was famous in Europe for its silver mining in the Middle Ages.In the [-]th century, it was an imperial city. Many buildings in the city represent its past prosperity. There are still Gothic buildings in the [-]th century, Baroque buildings and museums in the [-]th century, and [-]th century buildings. To the fifteenth century royal palace and mint.It is one of the most famous small towns in the Czech Republic, but at the same time, it is famous for a horrible church decorated with tens of thousands of bones - the Bone Church.

It was originally just an ordinary church, but the Black Death and the War of Religion devastated the land of Bohemia, causing more than 3500 graves to appear on this 3-square-meter open space.In order to appease these undead, pious missionaries chose to take their bones to the holy land of Kuntra Hora for burial.Later, the wealthy Schwarzenberg family bought the land and the church, and on a whim, hired carpenter Reiter to decorate the church.Carpenters have a professional talent for geometric figures, and the most indispensable thing here is human bones. Carpenters thought of using bones to decorate churches and pile them into pyramids.So there was this bone church.

The church is usually heavily guarded and closed to the public, and only on Sundays does the general public enter to pray.Coincidentally, today is Sunday.

The ceiling and walls here are full of decorations made of human bones, and crosses, crowns, badges, pendants and signatures made of skulls can be seen everywhere.At the entrance of the church, there is a wax platform made of more than 120 human bones. The ceiling is covered with limb bones, and the tapestry on the wall is also decorated with human bones. The altar is made of human bones of different sizes, and the patterns are inlaid with ribs.But what is surprising is that these bones are all adult men, and there are nail holes and marks of being stabbed by swords on them.

In the eyes of devout believers, although the Palace of Human Bones has death as its theme, it is definitely not a scary place.On the contrary, it is a holy land, where believers pray, pray and be with God.Catholicism regards death as a sacred thing, and dedicating the body to God after death symbolizes the supreme praise.Therefore, apart from tourists from all over the world who come to the Palace of Human Bones, they are basically devout believers.

Jane and Konstantin had come here on purpose because he had caught the bartender 'by the way' when he went to the bar to have some fun last night.He wanted to find out what the two dead people had in common, and after two hours of pleasant conversation with flirting as the main threat and supplemented by threats, the other party finally revealed a piece of news: they were not only regulars in this bar , And he has gone out with different girls several times, he has long been accustomed to this, but out of the issue of protecting the privacy of his clients, he did not tell the police.

This is very interesting. The investigation found that both of the deceased had a stable girlfriend, and one of them was already talking about marriage, and according to friends around him, he loved his girlfriend very much.But men have never had much resistance to looking for excitement, especially in a place like a bar where fish and dragons are mixed. If you find someone you like, have a hearty 419 and then put on your pants and leave. The next day he He is still the good man who loves his fiancée deeply and works hard to take care of his family. No one knows what he did last night.

And from the bartender, I learned that the two of them have dated many women in the past few days, some girls who come here to have fun, and some who are in the skin and meat business nearby.Bartenders have always had a practical skill that others can't match: their ability to recognize faces is comparable to that of recognizers, and among the women the deceased had dated, there was only one woman whom they were all interested in approaching and chatting up, and eventually all of them were... Rejected—

What the bartender said: "Looks like a high school kid who just had a birthday party...I mean, she's on point, but I've never seen her before—but who knows? Are they all thrill seekers?... What does it look like? I think, red hair, blue eyes, the kind you can recognize at a glance - oh yes, she has a skull necklace around her neck .”

The bartender is simply a professional. According to his description, Jane contacted the local police to ask for the camera video of the day, and quickly found her whereabouts.

On Sunday, a few believers who came to pray sat sporadically in the church. A cross made of white bones hung on the wall like a sharp sword hanging above their heads.Jane and Constantine sat in the last row of seats. Jane straightened her back and closed her eyes to meditate, while the blond exorcist sat lazily on the chair with his arms folded, his legs crossed in a dawdly way. A few broken words came into Jane's ear——

"Hey, do you know that it is said that more than 1 bones were used for the decoration of this church? It's really unique, isn't it?"

"You look like you haven't been to a bar much? Did you know it's a favorite place for devil yuppies? - oh soul agent from hell. Loves high fashion, taste and style. Can adapt to the political climate of any era .a staunch believer in satanism. A bunch of scum."

"You see, how am I not surprised at all by their deaths?"

"Well... men who cheat often have a beautiful and smart wife. This has almost become a rule. Who will comfort those poor wives? They are destined to endure such humiliation and betrayal. In order to maintain a stable life and a bright Do you want to continue this false love with fame?"

Constantine rubbed his chin, tilted his head and stared at the red-haired girl whose back was praying devoutly in front of them, tsk-tsk loudly, "Someone needs to punish these cheaters and complain about the grievances of the betrayed, isn't it?— —Although the method is more direct and the method is more cruel, it is still understandable..."

Jane opened her eyes, silently watching the blond exorcist direct and act here, and sighed pretendingly.

He even leaned close to her ear and "whispered" to her mysteriously in a voice that almost everyone could hear.

"Those who cannot see love dark and noisy places like bars, and here... the sons of evil cannot enter, and the power of the gods surrounds them-do you see that cross? That is the scarlet that God left for the devil Autographed, a lingering... gift.”

He emphasized the last word, watching the red-haired girl's back stiffen with satisfaction.

Others in the church looked at him with unfriendly eyes, probably unable to understand that he would use these disrespectful words to describe the Lord here. One of the old ladies with a basket even thought about her appearance. Smear the freshly bought vegetables on his face.But before she started, the old priest who was adding holy water to the basin came over, smiling, and asked Constantine gently, "Are you a believer, child?"

Constantine subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette, but he held back when he realized that the occasion was wrong, he shrugged, "Of course—it's just that my beliefs and that person's beliefs may be slightly different... "

The pastor nodded, "Then you should understand that every saint has a dark past, and every sinner has a clean future. No matter what terrible things this person has done before, as long as he has faith, In the depths of his heart, he will eventually find his own amazing grace. The Lord's promise, bless me, I was lost in the past, but now I am on the right track."

Constantine raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Well said, pastor—you mean, even a murderer, sitting here is innocent, right?"

Before the pastor could answer, he added another sentence that was almost sophistry, "If the victim is also a devout believer of the Lord and has raised donations for his faith, how about praying at Mass? Tell me, their family members will forgive for this great fraternity. Murderer, from now on hand in hand to welcome each other, will we coexist peacefully?"

Constantine sat in the bone church with his arms folded, and asked the old man with a smile, "What about your wife, children, relatives and friends? Would you accept this gift of 'bless you'?"

The priest choked, "This..."

The red-haired girl in the front row couldn't listen anymore, she stood up suddenly, her back was stiff, and she walked out quickly without saying a word.

Jane and Constantine looked at each other, and he spoke decisively.

"Chase!"

Then he jumped over the rows of seats from above, followed the girl's path and strode after her.

"I'm sorry, Father." Jane was not as anxious as he was, but first nodded to the gray-haired priest to apologize, her tone was light, "My companion didn't intend to humiliate, but when some terrible things happened, it wasn't the one who saved him. Almighty Lord, but himself."

After finishing speaking, she was about to catch up, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, and asked the contemplative priest, "May I ask, is there any other exit here?"

The priest froze.

……

When Constantine chased him out, he found that the girl had disappeared.He searched all over the nearby alleys but never saw the other party's figure again, it was as if he had disappeared mysteriously.

The blond exorcist stomped on the innocent weeds on the side of the road. He was about to smoke a cigarette to calm down, but suddenly he heard the sound of crying and begging for mercy from the southwest. After turning back, he turned around and trotted towards there.

Sure enough, he found Jane and the red-haired girl near another secret tunnel exit of the church.The girl was huddled and leaning against the corner, her eyes were full of tears, she was muttering something to herself, her eyes were full of pain and despair.And Jane stood aside, staring down at the trembling girl at her feet, her eyes were cold, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Hey!" Constantine ran over quickly, knelt down and held the girl's shoulders, but the other party suddenly screamed, the decibels were so high that it almost pierced the eardrum.He couldn't help being so shocked, he let go of his hand, but the girl scrambled and broke free from his shackles, ran to Jane's side, stretched out her arms to hug her leg, stared at him with terrified eyes, tears streaming down her face The whereabouts looked pitiful.

"..." The exorcist stood up depressed, touched his face, and asked Jane, "...do I look so scary?" Obviously very popular with women!

Jane ignored him, she squatted down, looked directly at the trembling girl, gently held her wrist, and with a force that was not strong but hard to break free, forced the other party to raise her face, facing herself, she spoke softly , "Maggie Greed?"

The red-haired girl looked at her pitifully, lowered her eyes, bit her lips, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded timidly.

Constantine saw the girl's way of rejecting him and being kind and pitiful to Jane. After categorically denying the conclusion that his charm had declined, he began to doubt the sexual orientation of the object: after all, the two deceased were both handsome and humorous Young people, going to a bar and turning down their invitation is not unusual in itself.But if she likes a woman...it's easy to understand.

The blond exorcist couldn't help but roll his eyes.It's not good to look for anyone, but this x is indifferent, this guy has already sold himself to the one above him, and he will serve the gods wholeheartedly, so he won't be tempted by the mortals.What's more, she looked like a straight girl of steel, the kind who was so straight that she never looked back.

Sure enough, the female exorcist, who always looked like someone owed her a thousand taels of gold, immediately asked her another question that she was caught off guard after getting the answer.

"You killed Juventus and Palinka with your own hands?"

Constantine, "..."

This overly direct question seemed to touch the girl's sensitive nerves, she trembled all over, her eyes became extremely frightened again, she covered her face and backed away again and again, crying and muttering in despair, "It's not me... ...I didn't do it...I didn't mean to...It wasn't me...I didn't mean to..."

Constantine's eyes suddenly became deep. He squatted down, kept a safe distance from Maggie, and gestured to Jane, while he lowered his voice and said softly with his eyes, "Maggie... Maggie, you listen to me……"

"No—no!" The red-haired girl broke down and cried, her palms were grinding blood in a low voice, she kept backing away in panic, her face twisted to the point of horror, and shouted, "It wasn't me! I swear it wasn't me Yes! It's he - it's he talking to me - it's he -!"

"Who is it?" Constantine's eyes lit up, "Say his name, Maggie—tell us who he is?!"

Maggie froze suddenly, as if the play button had been pressed by an invisible hand, her whole expression froze for a moment, her mouth opened wide, her eyes were about to split open, her expression twisted, it was both funny and terrifying.

Constantine couldn't help frowning.Being possessed and controlled?Under their noses?

This time it will be difficult... The blond exorcist just wanted to reach out, but Maggie suddenly woke up, her whole body was suspended from the ground like a puppet being manipulated, as if someone lifted her shoulders from the air , speed and posture completely violate the laws of physics.Constantine raised his head in surprise, and before he had time to say anything, he saw Maggie, who was hanging her head, suddenly let out a deep and vague laugh, full of complacency and sarcasm.It was the voice of a strange man.

"You came……"

"Maggie" slowly raised her head, her originally clear blue eyes were gradually covered by black pupils, hollow and gloomy like a dry well, attracting all the light in the world.She tilted her head, and her neck made a horrifying sound similar to stepping on rotten wood. She held a terrifying smile like a cracking wound, and there was a vague sound of gurgling swamp bubbling deep in her chest.

Constantine stood up, put his hands in his pockets, his eyes were solemn, but his expression was as indifferent as ever. He shrugged and said briskly, "I'm here, and then, devil? What do you want to say?"

Unexpectedly, she wasn't talking to him at all—"Maggie" stared at the expressionless black-haired woman, and spoke to her in an ambiguous and low voice rustling.

"Honey, you smell... really delicious."

Constantine, "..."

The author has something to say: The Exorcist: After confirming the eyes, it is a demon that has already bent.
