The sun shines in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun is reflected on the streets of Los Angeles, as if a golden veil is draped in the building. As far as Tang Shi could see, there was a church.

The afterglow shone on the cross and radiated like a holy radiance, reflecting on the ground to form a shadow of the cross that was elongated several times. Most people can't help but look up when they pass by the church. But there are also some people who intentionally or unintentionally bypass the church area.

Tang Shi looked at the guy who was deliberately evading, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. A strange world where demons can walk past churches with great dignity. The angels turned a blind eye to this. From a human point of view, neither angels nor demons are good things. They bet on the fate of humanity, but they never ask what humans think.

But Taizu said it well, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. As a vulnerable human being, it is understandable to be at the mercy of demons and angels.

Fortunately, there are no such hypocritical gods and demons in reality. Tang Shi sneered in his heart. Beside him, Tourni stared at the face of an addict, emaciated as if he was about to die.

The body that Tourni occupied before had already belonged to Tang Shi, and he couldn't find a suitable one for a short time, so he could only use this half-dead body to temporarily replace it.

Glancing at the scrawny Tourni, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Shi's mouth. Not to mention that the demonic sigil inherited from the Book of the Dead is still very effective. As long as you wish, you can always check what Tourni has in mind, and it can be said that this is a more evil method than physical slavery.

"Tourni." Tang Shi suddenly spoke.

The demon Tourny next to him immediately replied respectfully: "What do you command, my master. ”

This respectful tone and posture made Tang Shi very useful, and it was the first time that he had traveled through so many worlds. "When does that bar open?"

Tourny barely thought about it, and immediately replied: "Usually when night falls, it opens its doors. But sometimes it doesn't open until midnight. My master. ”

Tang Shi looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the afternoon. The sun should be setting in just over half an hour. As for the complete darkness, I'm afraid it will take about an hour.

"Don't they have a fixed opening hours?" Tang Shi asked.

Tourney smiled flatteringly, and said with some complaints: "Master, Midknight is like that. Relying on his neutral identity, he does what he wants. It's unclear when it will open. ”

Tang Shi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked in some surprise: "It sounds like he has no fear." In other words, why is there only one neutral place in the whole of Los Angeles? Others didn't think about building another one? “

"I've thought about it." Tourni said with a wry smile: "But the neutral place established by others has never been able to hold out for a month. It all comes down to the fact that because they're not Midknight, they don't have the power to suppress demons and angels. ”

When Tang Shi heard this, he became more and more interested, and asked, "Midknight is so powerful?" He seems like he's just a mortal, right? Even demons and angels are afraid of him? ”

It was a relaxed question, but when Tang Shi looked at Tourni, he found that the latter looked a little apprehensive. This made Tang Shi even more curious.

But Tourny said, "Midknight is not easy, my master. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Looking at the locked bar on the corner, Tang Shi said slowly.

Tourni looked around a little mysteriously, then lowered his voice and said, "Master, it is rumored that he is a fallen angel. ”

"Fallen angels?" Tang Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "I thought that the fallen angels had all gone to hell, what?" There are also in the world? ”

"Master, he is not the fallen angel who sentenced heaven to Lucifer back then, he is an exception. Legend has it that he was once one of the most important angels in God's side, but then he fell in love with a mortal. But this love was thwarted by God, and his lover was turned into a stone statue. Enraged, Midknight has since betrayed Heaven. Leaving heaven, he disobeyed God, but at the same time did not bend to demons. From the day he escaped from heaven, he remained neutral and did not help each other. ”

"Interesting." Tang Shi squinted his eyes and said with interest, "Don't you help each other?" So what is the purpose of his neutrality? ”

"I don't know. I just heard that since his lover will not be restored until Judgment Day, he has been not allowing anyone to disrupt the course of the Apocalypse for the final end of the book of Revelation to come. Tourni explained.

Tang Shi was silent when he heard this, this demon was a little different from Tang Shi's previous understanding of the plot. In the original book, Midknight was a powerful mage and merchant. As for the reason for neutrality, it was not because of the lover of the stone statue, but because of the vain death of the comrades.

But it sounds like this demon should be closer to the truth, after all, a mortal shocks the 'black and white', demons and angels, this is really a bit unbelievable.

"A lover?" Tang Shi muttered to himself.

Tourni looked at Tang Shi's fluttering eyes, a little puzzled. Whether these things are true or not, they are no longer hidden in hell. But Tang Shi didn't seem to know anything in front of him, what was going on?

'Could it be a demon who has escaped from the depths of hell?!' Tourni was shocked, and even cold sweat was left on his forehead. He hasn't been a demon for a long time, but he's also heard that after the fallen angel Lucifer fell to hell, he fought with the original demon of hell.

Eventually, Lucifer became the new king of hell, and the primordial demons were suppressed at the lowest levels of hell and never saw the light of day.

Thinking that Tang Shi might be a demon who escaped from the depths of hell, Tourni's last rebellious heart was completely extinguished. He didn't dare to take this risk, how could he deal with a great demon who was vying for power with Satan?

Tang Shi didn't always peek into Tourni's heart, so he didn't know what Tourni was thinking. Maybe he really knew, and even borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

……

As the minutes ticked by, Tang Shi and the demon Turney sat in the fast food restaurant across the bar, drinking cup after cup of coffee. When night fell and the time in the restaurant was ten o'clock, a black SUV appeared in Tang Shi's sight.

With the demonic sense, Tang Shi keenly sensed that there was a powerful aura in the car, this aura was a mixture of light and darkness, light and shadow. Tang Shi had never discovered that two completely contradictory energies could remain stable in such harmony.

"It's amazing." Tang Shi couldn't help but exclaim.

Beside him, the demon Tourny pointed to the black SUV and said, "Master, that's Midknight." ”

Following the direction he pointed, a black man in a dark purple suit stepped out of the car. Getting out of the car, Midknight walked straight to the bar, and just before entering the door, he suddenly turned his head and looked back with a straight look.

Passing through the pedestrians and shuttling traffic, the dark eyes shot a gleam, which was directly reflected in Tang Shi's eyes.

There was a constant flow of traffic on the road, but Tang Shi had a feeling in his heart that he knew that the other party had discovered him, and even 'seen' his face. This appearance is not the skin of a handsome blonde guy, but hidden under the skin, his true body - Freddy.

"Sure enough, there are two brushes." Tang Shi said and touched the rim of the coffee cup in his hand with a smile, and looked directly at Midknight.

After a few seconds, Midknight gave Tang Shi a deep look, turned and walked into the bar.
