[Zhongyingmei] The beating heart

"You're not a federal marshal, are you?"

"You're not Officer Murphy either, are you?"

So who are you?Dresden frowned slightly and looked at Riise who was walking beside him in confusion. If Constantine and the Winchester brothers—let alone whether they were liars or not—there were other reasons for gathering here, but This man... This guy who called himself Federal Marshal Jennings appeared here out of nowhere. He didn't talk much, and more importantly, Beer would sometimes 'accidentally' call him 'Mr. Riser'.Isn't it called Jennings? !

"Are you Miss Dawn's friend?" Dresden continued asking unwillingly.

"If that's what keeps you from pursuing it... yes. We're friends." Reese turned his head and smiled at Dresden, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Dresden. I'm here Help you."

"Well... I've met enough weird guys today anyway." A lot.It seems that today I met all the strange people I need to meet in my life.First there is the mysterious 'Mr. Reese' whose purpose is unknown, then Miss Dawn who seems to 'know everything', and then the liar who claims to be 'The Exorcist', two brothers who catch ghosts, one who looks like The cool but fierce and scary black boss, and the guy who barely talked behind Dawn.Dresden always felt that the man was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was so strange.And the most normal people he met all day today were Officer Fleck of the New York Police Department and Dr. Pym, who called himself a 'biologist'.

"Okay. First, we should go to the police station to apply to see the evidence and information of the previous murder cases. This will help us figure out how the demon chooses its victims."

"There really are demons, aren't there?"

"I'm sorry to upend your worldview. But sadly, demons do exist."

The world view has been torn apart since the day the super criminal appeared.Riise thought so in his heart, it was nothing strange.Demons, ghosts... In this way, there is hell and magic, but there is no need to despair, because in this way, there is also heaven and God.Knowing this actually put Riese in a pretty good mood.If there is a heaven, that person should... right there.

"Those birds. Follow us all the time."

Reese reminded Dresden that as soon as they looked up, they could see several crows perched on treetops or somewhere else.At first Dresden thought the crows were only following Beal, but when they decided to split up, the crows started following everyone in the group.

"They're the crows. They're mercenaries, they're unprincipled, they're mercenaries." Dreston took his eyes off the crows, and continued on to the police station. "Someone must have hired them. Don't worry, if If their mission had been to 'attack', they would have done it already."

It seems that their mission is the same as their own, which is to monitor and protect.Reese slowly took Dresden's eyes away from the crow.His tasks become more and more difficult with more and more super criminals and weird events, but fortunately, he can always complete the tasks.Unknowingly, he also found that the city was changing. While there were more and more criminals, there were more and more people doing similar things to himself.Good cops like Officer Fleck appeared in the corrupt New York Police Department. The Criminal Forensics Division seemed to find a way to bring criminals to justice faster and faster. Just yesterday, he also encountered several ordinary police officers. Humans stand up against the crime lord 'Jinbin' for the sake of the city's peace - and while this is done with the help of someone not so ordinary, the city is changing.Some people are trying to make deeds to change the status quo.This is a good sign.

But, the ghosts and demons are a bit beyond my expectations.Reese still couldn't believe it.But it is undeniable that this is happening now, and it is best to accept the fact as soon as possible.Just as he was thinking this way, and was about to focus on the current matter, the voice of his 'good partner' Finch Harold came from the communicator on Riise's ear——

"Bad news. Mr. Reaser."

Riise hated it when he said, "What happened to Finch?"

"Ah? Who is Finch?" Dresden asked in confusion when Riise began to 'talk to himself'.

"We have a new number." Harold certainly didn't hear Dresden's voice. He answered Reese's question, "The owner of the number is no stranger to us. I suggest you put down what you are doing immediately— —If it’s later, I’m afraid it will be too late.”

"According to Dresden, that Johnny Blazer was hidden here by his father after he made a deal with Mephisto." Dean looked at the tall church in front of him and concluded, "Although it is not It's not quite the right way, but it's the only way after all."

"This can indeed isolate some little demons or evil ghosts from being entangled, but Mephisto..." Sam touched the beautiful patterns carved on the outer wall of the church with his hands, and he said, "Mephisto is a very powerful demon. , He was an angel with outstanding military exploits when he was still in heaven."

"So it's of no use at all?"

"It's not useless at all. But it's not very useful." Dean shook his head, he said, "Some people will sell their souls to big demons like Mephisto, and they themselves will Essentially speaking, he is no longer a human being, but a kind of demon. Blaze’s father brought him here, which can be said to have broken the contract with the demon, and such breach of contract will be punished—so we Mr Bartonblazer is now dead. But that doesn't explain the deaths of the others either. That's why it's strange."

"But the devil may not need too many reasons to kill people." Sam shrugged, he said, "In any case, let's go to Blazer first. If he still has a sliver of reason, we may be able to get him from him." Got some clues there."

"Hmmm..." Although Bea knew that 'Ghost Rider' Johnny Blazer was a demon at heart, he was still a superhero, and he was on the side of good—at least most of the time—but now Obviously, things didn't go according to the 'script'.In fact, everything here doesn't go according to the script, and Bea doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.As Captain Turing said, this is a real world.Because of the intervention of someone or something, there may be a 'butterfly effect'.Now Bea just hoped that this effect wouldn't affect the 'big picture', so she didn't know what was going on with Johnny Blazer, was he still sane?Has he become Mephisto's puppet?

"Alex?" Dean and Sam had already entered the church, and Bea was about to follow in when she found Alex looking up at the stained glass of the church in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"...it's okay. I was just thinking, if there is a devil, there might be a god. So what does he... think of me?" Alex replied, but he gave up thinking about it immediately Thing, "Forget it, I don't care what he thinks anyway. Let's go."

"..."

"It's ok. I'm ok." Alex looked into Bea's worried eyes looking at him, and repeated, "And don't worry. I told you I'd help you, so you want to I will follow whatever I do. Anyway, I have nowhere to go."

"Alex... If you want to do something, I can help too."

"Well, I'll let you know if I think of it."

You won't say it.Bi'er blinked at Alex, and only hoped that she would not drag him into a deeper abyss in the end, and she was the one who said to help first.

After entering the church, Bi'er felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.This should be a church, it should be... a sacred place.But now there was an eerie sense of silence.The listless nun cast uncomfortable gazes behind the pillars on one side of the church, making Beer approach Alex subconsciously.

"You shouldn't be here."

A low-pitched male voice came from behind the sculpture at the end of the church, deepening the eerie feeling in the quiet church: "Go...don't come over!"

"Johnny Blazer?" Dean made a gesture to his companion behind him to stop, and took a few steps forward tentatively. He called Johnny's name and said, "We are here to help you! Do you remember him, Dresden? We were with him."

"That wizard... no, he can't help me. Neither do you. Please! Go!! I can feel...he's ordering me, manipulating me! Please! Run!!"

"You have to trust us, Johnny, we can help you if you—"

"Dean!!"

"You can't help me!!! Humans!!!"

Regardless of who reminded him, Dean threw himself to the side with all his might!A huge fireball flew past his clothes and hit the prayer bench behind!The wooden benches were nearly smashed and burned!Dean got up from the ground, and then saw that at the end where the fireball flew, a man almost covered in flames was walking towards him step by step!It is incredible that his clothes are not burning, but his head is a burning skeleton!

"Oh my god..." Dean sighed, and then grabbed Sam who came to help him, "Let's run first!!"
