Chapter 13 Coercion and Coercion
After Konstantin walked out of the house, he first drove a broken car in the old stable, which was older than the one he had just been hit by the demon Voxyfer.
I really don't know where he got so many broken cars that should have been recycled.
However, these broken cars are actually stronger than many of the new bulletproof cars on the market.
Konstantin was very afraid of death, more than anyone else, because he would go to hell when he died.
He knew this better than anyone else, when he died, his soul would go to hell, and countless demons were waiting in line to play with his soul, and the pain was definitely more terrible than all the pain in his life.
As a result, Konstantin protected himself all the time, wearing a trench coat engraved with protective magic for ten years, driving a broken car that looked old because of the engraved protective magic, and forever smoking a cigarette of the "Silk Card" brand.
Well, smoking is just smoking.
Konstantin drove in a broken car to the famous Emory University in Atlanta, and soon, Konstantin saw the green Ivy League sign in front of the university.
But the doorman did not open the door for Konstantin.
"Do you need help, sir?"
The aging black doorman was standing in front of Konstantin's car with an umbrella and a raincoat, and Konstantin patted the steering wheel depressedly!
"Old man, opening the door for me is a good thing for you and me!"
Konstantin rolled down the window and said, but when he looked at the old doorman again, he saw a different face!
Although Konstantin had only seen this face once, he would never forget it.
Konstantin clutched the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and his face was very impatient.
"There is still a subtle difference between surveillance and tracking!" Konstantin said through gritted teeth, "Aren't angels like you who can't tell the difference between these two points!"
Outside the car door, the old doorman with an umbrella has become the black angel Manny, the same one that Konstantin just met last night!
The black angel said slowly, with a holy smile on his face that disgusted Konstantin.
"I can tell from your expression that something is serious, isn't it?"
"It's none of your business, now you open the door and fuck off, I'll have the smile you want on my face!" Konstantin slapped the steering wheel fiercely: "I told you, I'll laugh out eight teeth when the time comes!"
Hearing Konstantin's unscrupulous invective, Manny's expression was a little angry, and the next moment, Manny raised his hand, and time stopped in that hand, the raindrops were suspended in the air and did not fall, and passers-by stood in the street and did not move.
"I'm open!"
Manny said as he opened the door of Konstantin's car.
Konstantin exhaled helplessly and finally got out of the car.
"Does every angel do magic like you?"
He reached out and touched the still raindrops in the air, and the raindrops he touched fell to the ground.
"It's the first time I've seen such a trick, how to put it, it's far beyond my imagination!"
Angel Manny frowned, and the next moment, all the raindrops fell to the ground, and then, the raindrops disappeared, as if the rain had stopped.
"Have you found the demon who stalked that girl?"
"Of course!" Konstantin stood lazily leaning against the car door, "It's a devil from within." ”
"Really?" Manny's expression became solemn, "The devil of that place cannot come to this world without the help of some kind of power. ”
"Shut up, angel, don't think I don't know, you're using me to find some information. ”
"Of course!" the angel nodded, "As long as you find out who our enemy is, I can use this to save the people!"
The angel pressed Konstantin's shoulder with great gravity.
"John, you and I both know that the one who can send the inner devil to the present world is at least a demon king, and we need to do more to protect mortals!"
"I'm mortal too!"
Konstantin didn't seem to want to communicate with the angels anymore.
"You keep protecting mortals, but I'm also the one you should protect, help you find out the truth, haha, you know, as long as I make a mistake, the demon won't be stingy in dragging me to hell!"
Speaking of this, Konstantin had a wry smile on his face.
"So, why should I risk going to hell to help you, why can't I live the rest of my life in peace!"
"Why do you say?"
The angel looked at Konstantin with disdain and disgust in his eyes.
"You're just an unimportant person, a shabby magician, your decisions, sometimes even if they're good, are questioned by others, and you're immoral at all!"
"Wait a minute, I'm not as ...... as you say sometimes"
"What I said, I'm just telling the fact that you, John Constantine, are no longer at risk of going to hell at all, because your soul has been in hell!"
Konstantin covered his forehead with his hand weakly, he knew, he knew better than anyone that Manny was right!
Angel Manny patted Konstantin lightly.
"At least that's where you are, but you still have a future!"
"What?" Konstantin looked up at Manny in confusion, "Are you saying I still have a chance to be saved?"
At this moment, Konstantin didn't notice it, and the pupil of his right eye turned silvery white!
But Manny noticed.
"Your eyes?"
"What?"
"What's the matter with your right eye, why do I feel divine power in it, who and which god blessed you, damn it, Konstantin, do you know what you're doing!"
"Wait!" Konstantin's mind was confused: "You say I really have divine power in my eyes?"
"You can't go to heaven, Konstantin!"
"What, why, what are you talking about, bastard!"
"You have been blessed by a god I have never come into contact with, therefore, you will not be accepted by heaven, only the god who has blessed you!"
The angel looked at Konstantin solemnly.
"I don't know which god this divine power is, but I can feel it, I will never see you in heaven again!"
"What, blessing, where did you see it, damn it, Dante, it must be you, Manny, you are an angel, can you please unravel this blessing!"
Konstantin anxiously grabbed Manny's trench coat, and Manny shook his head slightly.
"That's the same level of power as the Almighty Father, even the Lord of Hell doesn't have the power to unlock it, you can ask for more blessings!"
"Wait a minute, there must be a way!"
Konstantin yelled at Manny, but when he finished speaking, he found that he was already holding the old doorman.
The old doorman's expression looked very surprised.
"What's wrong with you, sir?"
Konstantin glanced at the old doorman, leaning limply on the car, and the rain fell again, wetting Konstantin's hair.
Half an hour later, Konstantin burst into an office.
"Long time no see, Richie! long time no see, my brother!"
Konstantin greeted the man who was writing in his office chair warmly, and from his cheerful tone it was not at all clear that he was in a bad mood just now.
But even so, Richie was so frightened by him that he jumped up directly.
"Get out of my office!" Rich stammered excitedly, "Get out, right away!"
"Long time no see, is that how you welcome me?"
Konstantin smiled and reached out to Richie, who was so frightened that he took two steps back and crashed into the small blackboard.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to go, I'll go, I'll leave by myself!"
Richie panicked and slapped his desk.
"It's yours, it's all yours, never again, scum!"
"Oh, Richie, don't you have any other words of welcome?"
Konstantin smiled and walked up to Richie and patted Richie's computer.
"Are you still investigating last night's incident on the Internet, did you find any bad celestial phenomena?" Konstantin looked at Richie: "Say it quickly, brother, you know, if you don't say it, I won't leave!"
"Okay, okay, I'll admit, I did look into last night's phenomenon, I looked up a lot of data, the sinkholes that have happened in the last thirty years in various states, and unusual celestial phenomena, I looked up a lot of databases, chat rooms, police training, and news reports. ”
Richie looked terrified.
"John, I assure you, something terrible must be about to happen, in the last two months, there have been more and more disasters caused by this paranormal phenomenon, and they are located all over the country!"
Konstantin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Including the demon from the inner layers of hell who has always terrorized Jasbo's daughter, right! I need your help, I need you to set up a power grid for me, and cut off all power facilities within a hundred miles radius for me when I need it!"
"I do!" Richie shuddered, "but I'm not going to get involved in anything with you anymore!"
"I know the events in Newcastle have made you ......"
"Don't mention Newcastle with me!" Richie erupted: "Newcastle is a fucking nightmare, a nightmare!"
Richie shouted, clutching his head in pain.
"Because of everything you did to that girl, I can't live a normal life without painkillers every day, and I have to rely on sleeping pills even to sleep!"
Richie grabbed two or three pill bottles and slammed them into Konstantin.
"If it weren't for these drugs, which had more side effects than the drug, I would be worse off dead every night!"
Rich cursed as he quickly packed his things, and then, picking up his backpack, putting on his coat, and looking like he was really leaving.
Konstantin stopped Richie, who was about to go out.
"We've all learned our lessons, Richie!"
"But you've not learned enough!"
Richie said something viciously, and then tried to rush out of the office, but was stopped by Konstantin.
"Well, do you know something, Richie?" Konstantin took a deep breath and said slowly to Richie, "The police in Newcastle are still investigating Astra's killer!"
At the mention of Astra, Richie calmed down a little, and he lowered his head in remorse and whispered.
"You and I both know that it wasn't done by humans at all. ”
"But the police don't know!"
Konstantin patted Richie on the shoulder.
"Do you think it would have been more interesting if someone had given the police some evidence that you were at the scene?"
After Konstantin finished speaking, he turned around and left, this time replacing Richie with him.
"Wait!" Richie wails helplessly, "You're not going to do that, are you?"
"What do you think?"
"Well, I'm involved!" Richie said weakly, "You know, John, sometimes, I really wish it was you, yes, I hope it was you who was dragged into hell by that ghoul, not Astra!"
"I think so too!"
Konstantin gave Richie a flirtatious hug.
"We'll work with you!"
