What is the hand? ”

At the entrance of Daddy Midnight's nightclub, a strong man holds a card with his back to Merlin.

"The Sorcerer"

Merlin glanced at the card and said, and the strong man made way for him.

He walked briskly into the nightclub, he hadn't been here for more than a year, and the place was still a scene of demons dancing. Merlin ignored the revelry anomaly, and with the cacophony of music on his head, he made his way to the bar.

Behind the bar is no longer the fallen angel bartender of a year ago, but a coquettish succubus.

She winked at Merlin, and then asked in a slightly coquettish voice:

"What do you want to drink, guest?"

"A glass of 'Siren's Tongue', and, I want to see Daddy Midnight."

Merlin whispered to the succubus.

The latter froze for a moment, then let out a series of chuckles, and she quickly danced the flask in her hand, and then placed a glass of pale blue wine in front of Merlin's eyes.

She covered her mouth, and looked at Merlin with her bright, spring-like eyes, and said to Merlin:

"That's not going to work, guest. Midnight Daddy's appointment is estimated to be half a year away. If you don't have an appointment, I can't let you in... Daddy will punish people. ”

The succubus is worthy of being a succubus, and a few simple facial expressions made the eyes of several people around Merlin straight.

But Merlin didn't.

His aesthetic is very traditional, and he is not at all interested in the horned, tailed, winged, and recurved legs in front of him.

Merlin sighed, he took something out of his pocket, put it on the bar, and said:

"To be honest, I also have an appointment with Midnight Daddy, and this is proof..."

Merlin let go of his fingers, and he pressed a grenade that had pulled the bolt off the table by him.

As long as his fingers relaxed, a crazy explosion would destroy all the golden decorations and erosive aura here.

"You're here to make trouble!"

The succubus screamed, took a few steps back, and in an instant, several tall, strong, dangerous creatures stood up and surrounded Merlin.

But Merlin was not flustered, he reached out and picked up the "Siren Tongue" in front of him, took a sip, and then said to the succubus lady who was glaring angrily:

"I'm not here to make trouble, I just have some things and I have to see Daddy Midnight."

"Or you can bring me a message for Midnight Daddy and say..."

Merlin whispered to the succubus:

"Let's just say, I'm here to deal with that madman half-demon who has appeared in Hell's Kitchen for the past two days, and what I need is a hiding place, that's all."

"Wait, Daddy Midnight will crush your heart and drink! If you leave now, I'll act like nothing happened! ”

The fox succubus looked at the grenade under Merlin's fingers, and she snorted a little fearfully. This military weapon explodes at this distance, and it may not kill a demon like her, but it must hurt, and if there is an attack, Midnight's father's business and reputation will be ruined.

Faced with the threat of the succubus, Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said:

"That's my business. All you have to do is pass the word. ”

Seeing that Merlin was soft and hard, the succubus gritted her teeth, and finally shook her hand, turned and walked to the box behind the bar. Seeing that the succubus had left, Merlin turned his head to look at the few strong men beside him, and said:

"Next, it's between me and Midnight Daddy, and it has nothing to do with you little minions."

"Sit down, it's so tiring to stand."

A few minutes later, the succubus bartender came back with a folded piece of paper, and she threw it in front of Merlin's eyes, and the succubus crossed her waist and said to Merlin hatefully:

"Midnight Daddy says you owe him a favor now!"

"Grab your stuff and get out of here!"

Merlin didn't care about the scubus chick's shrill chase, he picked up the note and looked at it, the address was a dock on the banks of the Hudson River.

That's where he's looking.

"Okay, thank you Midnight Daddy for me."

With that, Merlin let go of his fingers and stood up.

Seeing that Merlin let go of her fingers, Miss Succubus was so frightened that she threw herself on the bar, as if she wanted to block the exploding grenade with her body, so as not to hurt Midnight's Daddy's nightclub, so as not to lose the job she had so hard to find.

But after a few seconds, nothing happened.

She looked up blankly and saw Merlin looking down at her.

"What a little fool."

Merlin stretched out his finger and smoothed the susceptible lady's loose hair, and he whispered:

"A grenade with the fuse removed will not explode ... But seriously, it's fun. ”

"I wish you a good night's sleep, ma'am."

With that, Merlin turned away without hesitation, allowing the succubus lady to let out a sharp curse behind him.

Merlin walked out of the nightclub, and in the night wind near midnight, he keenly smelled a touch of blood, which made Merlin quicken his pace and rush to where Fury had parked. Fury was seen leaning against the car door and smoking.

It's weird...

Fury never smoked, and he always said that the smoke would reveal the agent's location.

Merlin walked over with his wand in his hand, and in the dark perception, he felt that a bleeding corpse was lying at Fury's feet. And Fury's car windows were also smashed, and there were bloody shards of glass everywhere.

But Fury himself is not injured, he is still healthy.

"Are you alright? Fury. ”

Merlin asked, and Fury looked back at him and shook his head. The agent glanced at the corpse with its head exploding at its feet, and the abnormal green blood on the side of the corpse, and said:

"I just... Just saw a guy with his head spread all open, and he tried to bite me with a bloody basin full of disgusting teeth, hell! I will never forget that scene in my life. ”

"You shot it? Well done. ”

Merlin looked at the twisted corpse, he shook his head, opened the car door, and got into the car:

"Let's go, Fury, someone will clean this thing up."

"You found it?"

Fury is now in a state of recovery from being frightened, and Merlin is afraid to let him drive, so he sits in the driver's seat. Fury, sitting in the passenger seat with a pistol in his hand, threw his cigarette butt out the window and said to Merlin:

"Also, what the hell was the thing that just attacked me?"

"That's supposed to be a shapeshifter, if I'm not mistaken."

Merlin, with the steering wheel on his wheel, drove the car toward the Hudson River Pier and replied:

"It's a low-level monster that will disguise itself as a human, in fact, it doesn't use holy silver bullets, even ordinary bullets can kill it, that thing is afraid of fire, and it doesn't have any special abilities, it's just occasionally scary."

"yes, that's scary."

Fury sighed, he looked a little melancholy at the bright lights outside the window, and said:

"I don't need to eat supper tonight... It's disgusting, that thing. ”

Ten minutes later, Merlin parked the car at the corner a few hundred meters away from the dock, he stepped out of the car, took out the black sniper rifle from the trunk, and handed it to Fury along with the magazine full of holy silver bullets.

The latter held the gun in his hand and skillfully fastened the magazine.

"I'm going to find a sniper spot and try to fight in the open field, Merlin."

Fury put the sunglasses that Merlin had given him to his face, and he said to Merlin:

"I'll cover you."

"Be safe yourself, Fury."

Merlin inserted the Holy Silver magazine into the Colt given by Agent Patton, then inserted the gun in the holster, he placed a long box in the worn-out magic pocket, then hid the fighting knife soaked in the Holy Silver into his sleeve, and said to Fury:

"If you can't deal with it, retreat immediately! That Maurice had organized a cult before, and this time it is back with other followers around it, remember! Don't fight them, those defective half-demons are deadly to you, too! ”

"Don't worry, Merlin."

Fury, carrying a sniper rifle on his back and wearing protective gloves, said to Merlin:

"I've been on the battlefield, I've killed people, I just shot a monster in the head, and from this point of view, I'm much more dangerous than you."

"Go, Merlin, it's time to go to war."

After saying that, Fury walked into the darkness with a gun on his back, he would find a sniper site nearby that could cover the entire dock, and then use the weapon in his hand to kill tonight!

"Well, Clint, if you're here, I don't have to worry about that much."

Seeing Fury leave, Merlin felt a little regretful in his heart.

Agent Barton and Black Widow Natasha, who had fought alongside him, were in a place called Lonely Island Prison, which, according to Fury, was somewhere in the ocean, and they couldn't get back anytime soon.

Merlin drew his wand, and the whole person turned into a dark cloud of smoke in the darkness, blowing with the wind, and quickly blended into the gloomy dock in front of him.

————————————————————

Underground in the docks, in a huge warehouse.

Darkness reigned here, but in the darkness there were two flames burning, like two braziers.

Above those two flames, black chains hung upside down two miserable and miserable people who were tortured.

"Tell me more... About Merlin, about my 'brother'. ”

A violent voice seduced in the darkness, its voice echoing through the warehouse. But the two poor men hung upside down in chains had been tortured for so long that they couldn't even speak.

"Don't say? Huh"

Hidden in the darkness, Maurice's fingers hooked slightly, and the beating flames burst upwards rapidly, igniting a person's already thinning hair as if it were a piece of paper.

"Ahh Ahhh ”

The man whose hair had been set on fire screamed in pain, and his frantic struggle, the clatter of the chains, the desperate hiss of the trapped beast, made the half-demon in the darkness feel a twisted pleasure.

It set its gaze on another person who was being hoisted, and it said:

"Why be so loyal? My dear friend Konstantin, you are not such a loyal person in my memory. Say it, don't let yourself suffer, say it. ”

The person who was hung up was John, who had been missing for a week. Konstantin, the cunning guy who once blackmailed Merlin.

He was hired by Maurice to find Merlin, but at the last moment, Merlin knew about Morris's existence in advance.

Now, he's hanging here by Morris. However, compared with the indisobedient Hitville around him, Konstantin is much more sleek. In the past few days, he has told Maurice Merlin his address and told him about the church that Merlin frequents, but the most crucial news, Konstantin has kept in his heart.

"I'm not your friend."

Konstantin said in a hoarse voice, with a hint of sarcasm:

"I know you half-demons better than anyone else... If I'm useless, then I'm done. ”

"You know, you're going to tell me everything eventually."

With a slight tremor on the ground, Morris, who had completely lost his human form and twisted into a half-human, half-demon, came out of the darkness. Its skin was covered with dark red scales, and its shoulders, elbows, and back were covered with sharp and hideous bone spurs. It has a pair of black demon horns on its forehead, and on its face, it has four dark red eyes, like four lights in the dark.

Its height was beyond the limits of a human, its twisted muscles stretched all over its body, and the red flames wrapped around its scales like a scorching mass of lava flowing, making it look like a giant beast coming out of hell.

It stretched out its claws, grabbed Konstantin's chains, lifted him up, and made it parallel to Konstantin's eyes, the half-demon whose soul and body had been twisted, and said to Konstantin:

"You're like a sesame seed under a mill, it's not worth mentioning! I will squeeze out all your secrets bit by bit, so that you are left with only skin, and then in your wailing and begging for mercy, I will devour you clean! You third-rate bastard..."

"Now, enjoy the pleasure of burning your body."

Maurice sneered, and was about to throw Konstantin into the flames beneath his feet.

"Bang"

A gunshot rang out, and the back of Maurice's heart was splashed with blood, and its hard scales were torn open by the holy silver, and the tumbling bullet was like a scorching splinter, pulling a bloody wound on its back, causing the half-demon to let out an angry roar.

It turned, and another bullet flew past its ugly face, breaking the chains that bound Konstantin. The third-rate wizard let out a scream and swayed his body in the air to avoid the terrible end of being thrown into the flames.

"Ah, you have appeared at last, my dear brother!"

Maurice looked at Merlin, who appeared in the darkness behind him, his four eyes shining with bloodthirsty pleasure.

In front of the twisted half-demon, Merlin withdrew his pistol and drew his wand.

He looked at Maurice, and he whispered:

"Yes, my ugly masked brother. I don't want to miss the night I'm going to spend with you..."

"Even if it's just for..."

"You die, I live."
