Killing Mary Sue [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Countless memories flashed in front of my eyes, like a black and white silent film starring others.

Through her eyes, she saw the whole world.

When she was born, the bell rang through the streets and all living beings rejoiced.

Her father is handsome and gentle, he took her by the hand that is used to swords and walked through every land, teaching her the height of the dome, the majesty of the mountains and rivers, the vastness of the forest, and the depth of the sea.She sailed all the way to the other side of the continent, thinking that she had come to the end of the world, but the land ended here, and the sea began here. She only knew the ups and downs of life after suffering all the hardships, and the mysteries of all things are endless. All in the silent afterglow of sunset and dusk, from here, she started another completely different journey.

It was the greatest glory in life, but also the deepest dark night.She came back from the other side of the world and assumed her own responsibilities. In the expectation of thousands of people, she went from ignorant to full of style. She has stepped on the top of the mountain and fallen to the bottom of the valley. She also cried secretly during the lonely moment, and those people in her life who were close to her and showed her gentle smiles left her one by one.What she trusts, relies on, and loves is not a casualty, but a betrayal.Flames blazed from her eyes, gunpowder smoke, blood, screams, cruel face, unbearable eyes, she could smell the burning breath, no one could hear her crying and pleading.They danced lightly on the bones of the one she loved, and a fire burned everything, and also burned the last trace of tenderness in her heart.

——"Your mistake is that you believed me... I'm sorry."

sorry?Can an apology make up for what happened?

——"You are too stupid, and stupidity is your original sin."

I'm so sorry, never again.

——"Your father is an old stubborn who doesn't listen to anything, and your mother is a superficial peasant woman. What can we expect them to produce? Ha, fortunately, I recognized her early..."

Then why didn't you tell me the first moment you met me?

——"Did you forget? You rejected me at the beginning! It was you!"

I have not forgotten anything, and in the future, I will never forget.

——"Power exists in people's hearts, and everyone wants to have it. You underestimated me and them, so you can't die with peace."

No.It was you who underestimated me.

——"Sister... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I fell in love with the wrong person... It's all my fault... Go away..."

Silly boy, how could I blame you?You are the gift God gave me, my forever smart and lovely baby.

She hugged her blood-covered younger sister, and gently stroked her cheek. The beautiful young girl was motionless with her eyes closed in her arms, and her voice was cut off. However, she didn't seem to hear or see her, holding the gradually cold body. , bent down and kissed her forehead, humming a song, a favorite nursery rhyme when they were young.

"Once upon a time there was a skinny woman

Of course you've never heard of such a woman

everything happened one day

The lady goes to church to pray

when she came to the church steps

she stopped for a little rest

when she came to the churchyard

She heard the moans of hell so loud

when she came to the door of the church

She stopped and took another small rest

When she entered the church,

The pastor is praying against vanity and sin..."

--No.wrong.

"Look up, look down,

She saw a dead man lying on the ground;

Then she said to the pastor

Will it be like this when I die?

oh yes!

Oh yes, said the preacher,

This is what happens when you die—"

The younger sister's face suddenly became rotten and terrifying, and the plump skin immediately collapsed as if it had been drained of water, leaving only the empty eye sockets and skull, with maggots crawling up and down inside.Her bones began to age and weather rapidly as if they had been preserved for thousands of years and suddenly met the air. In the end, under her hoarse cry, she watched her sister's body turn into fly ash, leaking through her fingers, and she couldn't even hold it Can't live.

She knelt there in a daze, the world seemed to have turned into a dark void, she couldn't see anything, only a gentle, seductive voice sounded in her ears, and it went straight to her bones.

—You see, my dear, life is but a walking shadow, a clumsy pity that gesticulates upon the stage, comes on for a moment, then quietly withdraws; it is told by a fool The story, full of noise and commotion, can't find any meaning.

——Those people you have loved, trusted, and relied on will eventually betray you until you die.

—Life is but a deception, from the moment you start breathing, you are dying slowly.

——Only I am the only one who will not betray you.I am you, you are me, we are one, we are connected by flesh and blood, we will never be separated.

——I heard your cry, your cry for help, your despair.Take revenge on them, take revenge on everyone who hurt you, your hate is enough to make us very strong, take revenge on them, devour them, let them taste the fruit of their own pain, you want it, I will give it, I will release the bondage Your soul, your oppressed, extremely dark heart...

—Come on, another me.

——It only takes one word from you, and those you hate will pay the most terrible price.

— No more patience, no more shackles, no more hiding.

— into me.back to me.become... me.

……

……

Constantine paced the house restlessly and began to consider the rightness of bringing Jane here.

Although this woman is rigid and vicious, she is not likable at all, and she always ignores her strong masculine charm, questioning her authority and professionalism as a veteran magician, but this does not mean that he is willing to put This teammate pits a demon of unknown origin.Moreover, he could feel that the identity of the opponent this time was not simple. He was an ordinary person with absolutely no name. who is it?Is it aimed at Maggie, or Jane Doe?

What is "I see more and deeper darkness in you"?Could it be that a boring woman like Jane has some unknown past that can attract the great devil's interest, even surpassing the person it possesses?

Constantine frowned and walked in front of Jane.She opened a pair of completely black eyes, her gaze was empty and lifeless, obviously she was still in the world of consciousness and hadn't come out.He couldn't help pulling his hair, and cursing himself for bringing a rookie here—he had personally experienced the power of the devil's whisper, which is almost an irresistible temptation for humans, and it will penetrate her thoughts, see To the hidden longing in her heart, and with endless voices to seduce her, persuade her, step over that line, become one with yourself, and the soul is dominated by it from now on.And no matter what it promises, it is nothing more than the secular choices of money, rights and emotions, which can be easily achieved, and finally devour the delicious results and take over this body.

This is not the situation Constantine wants to see.If the devil succeeds, not only will the other party be able to do whatever he wants, but the church will lose a "demon sealer" with special qualifications, and he will be in serious trouble.

Constantine looked directly at Jane with a solemn face.This time the situation was different, because she actively invited the demon into the conscious world, and if she failed in the end, he would not be able to expel the demon from the body.The only way to drive him back to hell...is to kill her.

Constantine took a dagger from his bag.Its name is "Saraville", which is said to come from a countess with a prominent family in France.According to legend, the count also killed beautiful young girls with this dagger, simply because they were prettier than himself.So this dagger represents a vicious, cruel and beautiful woman.Although he couldn't bear it, in order to avoid future troubles, he must take precautions.

Constantine took a deep breath, held it, and waited quietly.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Jane suddenly moved.

The blond exorcist stepped back immediately, tense, staring into her eyes, gripping the dagger.

"Jane" exhaled lightly, then looked at John Constantine, showing a funny smile.

The tide of great disappointment and depression was designed to overwhelm him.Failed, she still failed, she was not strong enough to resist this demon, she succumbed to her desire, dedicated her soul to the evil——Constantine shook his head, just clenched his dagger and was about to strike, but Suddenly I heard "Jane" speak softly.

"Have you seen enough?"

What?Constantine responded subconsciously, but immediately realized that something was wrong. He widened his eyes in surprise, and couldn't help but look up and down at the woman whose pupils were still completely black. After a moment of silence, he tentatively asked, "...Jane?"

The other party stared at him without blinking—no, to be precise, he looked at the unknown void through him.Her expression was familiar and indifferent, completely different from the soft and weird "Maggie" just now, and the tone of her voice was the same as "Jane Doe" as always.

"You weren't swallowed?" Konstantin was overjoyed at once, but when he laughed, his expression froze suddenly, his eyes showed vigilance, "...how did you do it?" Inviting the devil into consciousness and then waking up, this kind of thing He is not 100% sure!How could she!

Jane sneered lightly, completely indifferent to this demon's persuasiveness, "You want to eat me?——" she sneered, "Believe it or not, he choked you to death!"

Constantine choked.This is the first time he has heard this woman speak so uncivilized, and it feels... so novel.

How on earth did she stay conscious?Constantine looked at this face curiously and fell into deep thought.

——Things rewind to 10 minutes ago.

— No more patience, no more shackles, no more hiding.

— into me.back to me.become... me.

The demon bewitched this sweet soul that had almost fallen into darkness with a gentle voice, and it couldn't help but take a breath, as if it could smell a hint of sugar-like sweetness.It is about to enter its mouth... It proudly thought, a sacrifice that is more delicious and powerful than a young girl, as long as it eats her, it will become stronger than it is now, and those hypocritical and xenophobic indigenous demons will no longer Will look down on it - eat her, this is the moment!

Seeing Jane step by step towards the endless void of darkness, as long as she fully steps there and is drowned by the sound, then her soul, this perfect body, will all become its own——the devil happily hides out of sight In the corner, showing a satisfied smile.

But at this critical moment, Jane suddenly stopped, stopping at the last step before stepping into the darkness.

The devil's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at her back in surprise—how, how is it possible——

Jane turned her back to it, neither retreating nor advancing, just standing there, looking at the bottomless abyss in front of her, suddenly smiled, and spoke softly.

"I do have some unforgettable people, unattainable goals, and some twists and turns. What you see is true." She let out a low laugh, "After all... that It's all what I want you to see."

The devil's eyes widened in disbelief, "You, you—"

"Do you really want to ask me why I was not confused by your sweet words, why I didn't take that step, and why I didn't try my best to hide these terrible and bloody memories?"

Jane turned around slowly, and the moment she revealed her face, the surrounding chaos and nothingness suddenly turned into an endless green grass field, with bright sunlight overhead, towering castles and clear waters in the distance. In the lake, swans are playing gracefully in the sparkling water, and peacocks are strolling on the lawn, everything is unbelievably beautiful.

And Jane, sitting on the chair, leisurely sipped the hot tea in the cup, tapped the round table with her fingers unhurriedly, once, once, trembling it gradually produced a soul of fear.

Never—never has it seen such a vast and bright field in one's consciousness, a pure land with high sky and clear sky—never!

How can this be? !

And Jane sat lazily on the chair, admiring the beautiful scenery in the distance sideways, showing a nostalgic smile.

"You made a big mistake in order to get my soul as soon as possible."

"—The nursery rhyme that my sister and I played is not "Mother Goose", but "The Last Rose of Summer". Because she likes roses the most, and I planted a rose garden for her with my own hands."

The demon pursed his lips.Jane smiled.

"After what you have seen, many people have told me that hatred is a poisonous seed that will erode the self and destroy all the good things I have held on to. People should look forward and abandon the painful Live in the past, live for tomorrow..."

She took a sip of the tea and sighed as the ripples in it blurred her face.

"So I did exactly that: forget the past, travel the world, numb myself, and live again."

"But you know what, the truth is exactly the opposite."

She yawned and stretched.

"Laziness is a strange thing. It makes you think that it is ease, rest, and blessing; in fact, it gives you boredom, ennui, and depression. It takes away your hope for the future, and cuts you off from others. Friendship makes you narrow-minded and suspicious of life."

"After stopping for a long time, I found that not only did I not let go of all that, but I became more concerned. I almost forgot who I was and why I was able to live until now - you say it's ridiculous A person who was resurrected because of revenge, but wants to give up the past, so why don't I choose to rest in peace? Wouldn't it be easier?"

Jane looked into the distance, with sparkling waves reflected in her eyes.At that moment, the demon thought that the calm and unpredictable woman in front of him and the desperate and hysterical outcast it saw were two completely different souls.But the fact is that they are indeed the same person, but this one has chosen to remember the past and continue to live.

The unattainable goal is her goal, the circuitous road is the road she wants to take, and every rest always brings new yearning.The place where all extremes and opposites disappear is Nirvana.

What didn't destroy her made her stronger.

Jane smiled, turned her head, and looked at the corner where the devil was. In her eyes, it seemed that all the darkness could not be hidden.

She is a demon sealer.This is not just an exaggerated name.

"Everyone has something to sell." Jane put down her teacup, "The only difference is the price."

She shrugged unladylikely, with regret on her face, "Unfortunately, you can't afford my bid. So you lost this bet."

If I dare to bind myself in a cocoon, I can emerge as a butterfly.

"Impossible..." The devil couldn't believe it, "This is a trap, this is actually a trap?...Who are you?—Who are you?"

"Have you seen enough?" Jane asked with a smile.

"If it's enough...then it's up to me next."

The devil opened his eyes wide, watching Jane stand up from the chair, straighten her collar and cuffs, and walk towards it with a smile.

In the severe pain as if being cut in half, it vaguely heard her say a word.

"The flash that cut through darkness,

the light that breaks the night."

——The flash of light cuts the dark, and the light breaks the dark night.

The night dissipated, and the morning light flooded the body.

"This game, I won."

……

……

Jane suddenly opened her eyes!

Constantine was taken aback, and immediately jumped back a step, pointed at her with a dagger, narrowed his eyes, "...Jane?"

The other side glanced at him expressionlessly.

He didn't care about this, he stared at her eyes for a while, seeing them slowly fade from black to silver gray, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, just smiled and wanted to ask her a few words, but It might as well be that Maggie on the bed suddenly coughed violently, then opened her eyes and woke up suddenly!

"simple!"

Konstantin, who was just about to hug the girl tenderly, froze in place with his outstretched arms, "..."

...Okay, it seems that this girl has suffered some kind of injury and no longer trusts men.Don't you just like women, no problem!No problem at all! ——She really isn't interested in him at all? !

Constantine withdrew his hand in extreme depression, touched his nose and stepped back angrily, leaving room for the women present.After seeing the successful exorcism, Maggie stretched out her hands to hug Jian Jian in panic. After a moment of silence, the woman in black finally sat by the bed and accepted the helpless red-haired girl with open arms.

"Woo...it's terrible...it's like a nightmare, Jane...don't leave me...you swear you won't leave me, will you?"

Jane lowered her eyes, gently patted Maggie's back, and her soft voice rang softly in her ears.

"Of course, Maggie...how could I leave you behind? You're the reason I came all the way here..."

Constantine looked at this tender scene like a sister reunion with an inexplicable face: wait, what happened? !Why does it seem that within 2 minutes, these two strangers who have just met have become "relatives" cuddling together?Also "swear not to leave me"? !Did he miss something great? !

The blond exorcist looked at the small confession scene in embarrassment, and was thinking about whether to go out with discernment and leave more private space for the two, but suddenly something rolled out of the clothes under Maggie's neck.He took a closer look and saw that it was a small, pocket-sized skull necklace. The material and luster, except for the mismatched size, seemed to be the real thing.

It was this small detail that fixed Constantine's footsteps in place. He stared at the skull thoughtfully.

At this moment, Maggie, who was originally hugging Jane tightly, raised her head unexpectedly, looked at the blond exorcist with a pensive expression, and suddenly showed an extremely weird smile.

The author has something to say: PS: "The flash of light cuts through the darkness, and the light breaks the dark night" - "The Witcher 3".

Picture for yourself the girl's smile in the final scene of Detective Chinatown.
