Prologue 2: The Hateed
The city had a ruthless and silent pulse of cruelty, but the roar was like a derailed train passing through Konstantin's mind.
In front of his eyes, a certain picture from three days ago couldn't help but appear.
......
On that day, the sun was not very bright, and under the clouds, there seemed to be a thin black veil that was hiding something.
Of course, the crowd on the ground couldn't care about that, their greedy eyes were only on money and women. Although John was always staring at these, he knew that it was not a veil on his head, but a swarm of insects that covered the sky...... To be more precise...... It's 'Lord of the Flies'.
It was a demon who had returned from the seal, and he was attached to the bodies of the insects, looking down on the hunting ground and every prey in the hunting ground.
And the person who opened the seal was none other than his friend ——— Lester.
......
On the roof of a tall building in the city, Constantine stood against the wind, and his friend Lester was also ......
"Oh my God, John, what are you going to do?" Lester said with a shudder.
John smiled, "It's nothing, we have to seal that demon again, I need you to sit here and bring him in, and I only need a bottle to seal him again." ”
He swore that he didn't know if it was because the sun was dazzling, or if he simply thought it was cool, Constantine was wearing sunglasses, and Lester could only see the corners of his indifferent mouth, but not his eyes.
"You're not going to mess up, are you?" Lester asked.
"Of course not, you see, I brought all the tools."
He said, gesturing to a set of tables and chairs on the rooftop that he had prepared the previous night, with tattoos, flour, white paper, ink, and rope.
Wait, rope?
Lester seemed to have discovered something, and he couldn't help asking, "Why a rope?" Are you going to tie something? ”
John smiled: "Of course I want to tie it up, help you...... Oh, don't be afraid, the demon always has a special affection for the person who released him, so after a while, the 'Lord of the Flies' will probably be very affectionate when he meets you, you know, so if I don't tie you up, I'm afraid there will be a mess, like those bugs suddenly dragging you up and taking you away. ”
"Oh, I know you're lying to me, I guess those damn spells of yours won't take effect right away, and in the meantime, those bugs will definitely gnaw at me, you're afraid of me running away! You've always been like this, you scum who only tricks people! ”
Hearing Lester's words, John could only show a sense of powerlessness: "Okay, okay, it's true that the spell won't take effect immediately, but ...... You'll have to hold on, I'll be able to seal it in the bottle in just a few minutes, and now I'm the only one who can help you, or the Lord of the Flies will haunt you until you die!" ”
"Woo——— why should I open that bottle, I really shouldn't be greedy for a small bargain." Lester covered his face and said, "But, you're right, if not, I'll be chased by those things all the time, so, please, you have to tie it up tightly, otherwise I may not be able to stand it and run away halfway." ”
With that, he gritted his teeth and sat down in his chair. And Konstantin also picked up the rope and tied him firmly to it.
"Relax, I'll take you for a good drink when it's over later, I'll please." Konstantin took out a cigarette and gave Les a special touch.
In the reluctant eyes of the other party, Konstantin remembered the words of Lester's mother, who had said, don't always play with John, that child is dangerous.
And now it seems...... His mom was right!
......
With the beginning of the sealing ceremony, the 'Lord of the Flies' also smelled the breath of Lester, and countless insects gathered together, forming a pitch-black bond, and flew over from the sky.
Lester would never have imagined that this demon could be so huge.
For a moment, he couldn't help shouting.
"Oh my God, it's too big for you to hold onto, a bottle can't fit at all!"
Then, John. Konstantin didn't seem to hear him, just stood quietly, his sunglasses reflecting the reflection of the sky.
That's when Lester suddenly found out...... John didn't have any bottles in his hands.
But what about the bottle?
Lester may have only been smart once in his life.
Oh...... Yourself, that is, the bottle.
......
In the alley, Konstantin stood up, and at that moment, a cold wind poured into his stomach, making him feel like a dead man's hand, poking into his body.
He's used to it......
For three days, he continued to anesthetize himself with cigarettes and alcohol.
A cigarette can last for 3 minutes, a bottle of wine can last for 4 hours, he keeps circulating, and keeps telling himself that Lester is dead, he deserves to die, he shouldn't touch the bottle sealed with the 'Lord of the Flies', and the person who released the demon will die, otherwise, sooner or later, people all over the world will have to be bent over by the 'Lord of the Flies', and then eat everything they can touch, and finally starve to death.
The only way to do this was to have the demon lean over the body of the person who had broken the seal, and then seal it in the body with a spell...... Kill the man again.
This is the only way....... And someone has to do it.
Do the ...... Hehe...... Naturally, it's yourself.
Who else could it be...... Anyway, there are many, many 'friends' who have died in their own hands, and there is no one more. Lester would probably forgive himself...... But even if you don't forgive, it doesn't matter.
Konstantin wrapped up his wet trench coat tightly and walked out onto the avenue, passers-by deliberately avoiding the filthy drunk.
On a corner in front, a nun leaned against the wall, her name was Anne. Maria, she was a friend of Konstantin.
However, when Konstantin walked past her, he did not look at her more.
After walking for a while, a man and a woman suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowd, John knew them, but he still ignored them, just walked straight over, and then ...... passed through their bodies.
Well, the undead are here again, the people who died at the hands of Konstantin, they used to be, they were Konstantin's teammates, or friends, but now, they only appeared in front of his eyes when his soul was at its most vulnerable, and then looked at him quietly, like insects living in the cracks of the stones.
Suddenly, John stood still because, in the crowd, ...... Lester's figure slowly appeared.
He and John looked at each other, and the crowd passed through Lester's body, his expression calm, but John saw hatred in his gaze that was extremely quiet.
"I'm sorry. Brother, there's only one way. John said, staring at the turbulent crowd.
And at this very moment.
"Hi, you have ...... Smoke? ”
A voice rang out from behind John.
