Chapter XVII

Not to mention Dante, who is hovering between life and death, on the other hand, Constantine instructs Richie to park the car in the distance, and takes Liv to the top of the tallest building at Emory University, where he begins to carve the demon seal with white paint mixed with sacred sesame oil.

It took a lot of work, so Konstantin simply took off his trench coat, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and drew it with a wide open and closed shut.

As time passed, Konstantin's seal was almost complete.

Liv stood aside, sometimes trembling, sometimes silent, fear growing as she waited, and the longer she waited, the greater the shadow of fear.

"What are you drawing?"

Liv couldn't help but ask.

Konstantin finished his final stroke, then looked up at Liv.

"Demon Seal!"

"Did you download it on the Internet?" Liv tried to tell a bad joke to dispel her fears.

"Of course not!" Konstantin stood up and gestured to various locations on the seal.

"This is my patented design, I created it by combining the Solomonic triangle with some ancient Enochist manuscripts written in Runes, and you will stand in the middle of it for a while, and when Voxyphah comes to you, he will enter this circle and be sealed, after which I can send him back to hell!"

After Konstantin finished speaking, he clapped his hands gently.

"Doesn't that sound simple?"

"I don't think so. ”

Liv hugged herself with both hands, and she couldn't stand it just by thinking about the scene where she was face to face with the demon.

Konstantin stepped aside to pick up his coat and put it on, and then he walked over to Liv.

"The time has come, now, let me break the seal I have placed on you, and after that, your breath will reach Voxyfer's nose. ”

Liv was amazed when she heard Konstantin's words.

"When did you put a seal on me?"

"Anytime!" replied Konstantin earnestly.

"I'm serious, I don't remember you ever drawing a pattern like this on me!" Liv said, pointing to the demon seal underground.

"Of course!" Konstantin smiled: "I'm not a shabby little magician, my magic tricks are never easily revealed, maybe I have seen your whole body while you are not looking!"

"Oh Shet!" Liv scolded loudly, "Dante will definitely draw his sword and kill you when he hears your words!"

"Not necessarily, you may not be that important in Dante's heart. ”

After Konstantin finished speaking, the two fell silent, and after a while, Liv sat in the middle of the seal.

"John, can you tell me the story of Dante?"

"Yes, yes, but I don't know him!"

"Aren't you friends, you're usually so close!"

"Hah!" Konstantin laughed violently: "I am very close to everyone, I am a good friend of everyone!"

Liv shook her head slightly when she heard him, and she could tell that Constantine didn't want to talk too much about Dante.

"Can you tell us your story, where are you from?"

"I came from the dirty passion of my parents!" replied Konstantin quickly.

Liv glanced at Konstantin helplessly: "Have you always been so humorous?"

"I'm serious!" Konstantin said with a nonchalant expression on his face, casually playing with a lighter in his hand.

"Hey, Konstantin, I'm trusting you with my life, can't you just share a little little thing with me?"

"Well, my mom died in childbirth when she gave birth to me. ”

Konstantin stopped after saying only one word.

Liv blinked speechlessly, saying that a little bit is really just a little bit!

"I don't mind if you share something big with me again!" Liv whispered, not even quite sure Konstantin could hear it.

However, Konstantin heard it, and he seemed to remember something, and then closed his eyes, and spoke in a flat voice.

"My dad thought my mom's death was my fault. ”

Konstantin said as he sat on the ground, leaning his back against the wall, and his whole person instantly became melancholy.

"He also gave me a nickname that I could hear every day, 'Hello, Murderer!' ”

Konstantin didn't look at Liv's expression, he just stated it flatly.

"Whenever he drank at night, he drank almost every night, and after that, he would punch me so hard that he would shout 'this is to avenge your mother, murderer!'. ”

Liv was somewhat sympathetic to Konstantin, and she whispered, "Are you curious about what your mother is like?"

"There's no point in being curious!" Konstantin opened his eyes and looked at Liv seriously, while he continued, "I will find my mother!"

"As a teenager, I started looking for books on the occult to read, and from then on, I taught myself spells, rituals, curses, I learned to summon everything related to death, only I didn't summon her!"

"Why?"

"It's not time yet!"

Konstantin replied lonely, the lighter in his hand turned faster by him.

Just as Liv was about to ask something, the lights on the rooftop suddenly flickered twice, and Konstantin stood up almost instantly.

"He's here, are you ready!" Constantine looked at Liv.

Liv jumped up nervously, panicked and didn't know where to put her hands.

"Where? where is he?" asked Liv anxiously.

Before Konstantin could answer, the door to the rooftop in the stairwell opened, and out came the building's security guard.

"Hey!" Konstantin shouted, "You took my money, and you promised that I wouldn't come up and disturb us!"

Liv also kept shouting, "Get out of here, it's going to be dangerous here!"

But as if he hadn't heard, the security guard walked towards the two of them.

Konstantin understood.

He grabbed Liv's arm and said softly to Liv, "You have to hold on until you should run away!"

Konstantin then let go of Liv and took two steps towards the security guard.

"You chose to possess this security guard, I thought you would possess the couple in the stairwell for sex!"

Konstantin said as he pointed to Liv behind him.

"Okay, just a little joke, now, you can enjoy your prey, only, I have a request, after you have eaten the prey, you must give me back to hell, I'm John Constantine, you can go back to hell and ask me!"

After Constantine finished speaking, he began to slowly retreat, and he saw that the dark eyes possessed by Volcifer had turned to Liv.

As Constantine retreated, Voxyfer quickly rushed towards Liv, but just as he was about to step into the demon seal, he actually stopped.

Sweat was oozing from Konstantin's forehead, and Volcifer's actions meant that he had seen through his trap and that he had to think of something else to deal with him!

However, what Konstantin didn't expect was that Volcifer stopped less than five centimeters away from the demon seal and smiled at himself with the guard's bearded face, and then, Volcifer walked into the seal without hesitation!

Although it is not clear what this situation is, Konstantin cut off the building's electric gate as planned.

Then, as Konstantin recited a incantation in Latin, the screams of the security guards came from the demon seal, and countless smoke came out of the security guards, and his screams made Liv take five or six steps back.

The white smoke gradually subsided, the security guards had disappeared, and the one standing in the seal turned into another Konstantin!

Yes, Volcifer was transformed into Constantine, but his illusion of Constantine looked terrible, with deeply sunken and bruised eyes, a skinny body, and dark and dirty teeth, which was like a patient with advanced lung cancer!

"Konstantin, Negar said that your formation lacks willpower, in my opinion, this is more than a lack, your will is like a fishing net, it is simply full of holes, such you, you still want to seal me!"

"It's better than your crappy illusion!" Konstantin began to taunt without paying attention: "You see that you have changed me, and I can't even reflect a ten-thousandth of my charm." ”

"Haha, it's not a change, it's your future, Konstantin, how do you feel about seeing your future?"

Well?

When Konstantin heard this, his expression froze for a moment, and the next moment, Konstantin said quickly.

"I'm a little bit uneasy, I don't look like I'm going to be doing well in the future. ”

"That's right, but our future will get better and better, because you're going to hell!"

Vosifa laughed out loud, and Konstantin pursed his lips nervously.

"Voxypha!" Konstantin calmed down and continued to shout to Vosifa: "Since you know me, have there been many fewer souls going to hell!"

"Indeed, but you have also brought us a lot of fresh blood, and the souls who have died because of you are all superb, and the next one is the filthy descendant of the astrologer next to you!"

Volcifer roared, only to see its hands raised high, and the street lamp, which had been cut off from power, actually lit up out of thin air.

"Do you think cutting the power gate will stop me, you think I'm too simple!"

Lightning swirled around Voxypha, and thick electric snakes were hovering in the air above Voxypha.

"This is the center of the city, countless electricity is waiting for me to control, here, I am God!"

As Voxyfer uttered the declaration, countless electric snakes gradually converged, and in a moment, the electric snakes swelled into churning electric dragons, raging in the dark sky, and then, they all pointed at Liv!

"Damn it!"

Konstantin cursed, pulled out a flare gun from his trouser pocket, and fired a flare into the sky.

"Hope this helps!"

Not far away, on the overpass, Richie and Chas were waiting for Konstantin's signal.

"Hey, Richie, let's get moving!"

Chas keenly saw the flashbang under the electric light, and reminded Richie in time, and Richie nodded as he quickly operated it on his laptop with both hands.

In just two seconds, with the last click of Richie's finger, the entire city, and even several nearby cities, went into darkness!

On the rooftop, Voxyfer angrily watched as the electric dragon that roamed beside him turned into an electric loach that was now inferior to static electricity.

"Konstantin, you can hack into the central power grid by hacking and shutting down all the integrated processors and backup processors at the same time to cut off the power supply and emergency power to the entire city. Voxyfer's face was full of astonishment as he spoke!

Konstantin was even more stunned than Vosifa.

"You actually know how my friend did all this and how it works, are you sure you didn't go to college on earth!"

Konstantin smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Even I don't understand how he did it, no wonder the power of the demon is getting stronger and stronger, and you are so up-to-date!"

Konstantin reached out and pulled out the lighter and threw the burning lighter onto the demon seal.

"So what, I don't really have much willpower, but I can always turn bad ideas into good ideas!"

As the lighter landed on the paint, the entire seal burst into flames.

"Also, I want to explain that what I carved was not a spell for sealing, but a spell for expulsion!"

Konstantin watched with admiration as Voxyfer kept screaming in the fire, maybe he did have a lot of problems, but he was always winning, except for Newcastle!

The flames ignited by the seal on the ground became higher and higher, more and more spectacular, and the voice of Vosifah's miserable howl was also higher and higher-pitched, and just when Konstantin thought that he could not continue to hold on, a little girl suddenly appeared next to Vosifa!

"Astra!"

Konstantin fell to his knees in an instant, it was Astra, damn it, Astra's soul was actually in the hands of Volcifer!

"Voxypha!"

Konstantin screamed in pain, looking at his pained face, and Volcifer laughed even though the pain was unbearable.

"Hehe, hahaha! Konstantin, I didn't expect this little girl's soul to be in my hands, let me go, I want you to get out of here, don't interfere in my affairs!"

Voxyfer roared wildly.

"You know, if you can't kill me, my soul will eventually return to hell, and by that time, Astra will definitely be loved by me with the most passion!"

"Demon, give me back Astra's soul!"

Konstantin rushed to the seal, he only wanted Astra's soul to return to the human world.

"John!" Liv quickly hugged Konstantin: "You open your eyes and see clearly, it is a demon's disguise, although I don't know who Astra is, but I can see that that skeleton-like demon is definitely not the person you are looking for!"

Liv held the astrolabe her father had left her, and Astra was nothing more than a filthy skeleton in her eyes.

Konstantin heard Liv's words, his demeanor gradually calmed down, and after a moment, Konstantin raised his head.

"I know, of course I know, I'm just putting on a great show for Voscifer before he leaves!"

Constantine then raised his hands, and an ancient voice kept coming out of his mouth, which was that he was chanting the incantation used to send Voxypha back to hell.

Voxyfer wailed and shouted: "Constantine, we can never be killed, I will wait for you in hell, you will come to hell one day!"

The flames rose into the sky, turning into a huge fire tornado, the upper part of which was high into the clouds, and the steaming heat even dispersed the nearby clouds.

Konstantin finished the spell as he hugged Liv, the circle on his trench coat shielding them from the heat that was close at hand.

Watching the flames disappear with Voxyfer, Konstantin let go of Liv, then picked up a cigarette, put it to the corner of his mouth, lit it, and the smoke curled and blurred Konstantin's eyes.

"Maybe one day I'll go to hell. He said, "But not today!"
