22. Inverted... The truth!
"Oh, damn crumbs, fools, sewer rats, maggots, disgusting bastards!"
Chained in the corner, Cartershray frantically yelled at Cyber, "You think you're going to get your life for that thing!" Mephisto is going to eat you all the flesh and bones! You selfish bastard! You're going to kill everyone!"
Cyber tucked his share of the scroll into his pocket, and he glanced back at Carter Slay, and he pouted,
"No, it won't... Didn't you say that the Supreme Mage shelters this world, and Mephisto is no match for her, is it?"
He reached out and picked up a cigar from the table, took it in his mouth, lit it,
"Please, can I help myself?"
He opened his hands and gently hugged Carter Shray, "A person should not be criticized for anything he does in order to survive, you see, I am just trying my best to survive, and I am just a poor person." [with _ dream]ā"
"So don't make it look like I've done something terrible! You see, I've saved dozens of kids from a villain, and I've saved all of New York from a horrible guy, and that's tens of millions of people, and I think I've done enough good, and if the world is really fair, I don't think it would blame me for doing one thing for myself. ”
He walked up to Cartershray, stuffed a cigar in his mouth, and patted Carter Slay on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, old man, things aren't as bad as you think... Everything will be fine. ”
"No, Cyber!"
Carter Slay spat the cigar in his mouth on the ground and replaced it with a voice that bordered on pleading,
"You don't understand, I know the feeling of a dying person, I know the despair, even after more than 200 years, I still know very well the terrible despair of being thrown into prison alone to die, but your despair and my despair cannot be a reason for us to do evil! I am not a good person, but I have thought very clearly over the years... Everyone deserves a second chance, and no one should live in fear... But we have to fight for that opportunity, not rely on others to give it to us!"
The old man's voice became muffled,
"Not to mention, the trader you're looking for is still a devil, an evil creature that doesn't deserve to be believed in any mythology, tell me, are you really driven crazy?"
"Do you really believe that Mephisto will do what you want? hehe, don't be too confident in your intelligence, look at me, look at Johnny, we're all people who make deals with the devil, look at us, look at what we've got?"
Cyber's face didn't change too much, he patted Carter Sleigh on the shoulder and whispered,
"I'm sorry, really, but I don't want to die yet, like you said, we have to fight for our hopes, and I know that Mephisto is a wretch, and I know that I am very likely to be completely killed by him, but I think he is at least right, and there are really not many options left for me..."
He stood up, turned and walked to the door of the hut, and the moment he turned his head, he saw the statue of St. Michael, whose eyes were already open, and was looking at him, and there was a touch of gentleness, a touch of encouragement, a touch of expectation, and the halo around it was sacred, like an eternal beacon that inspires the wicked to the light.
Cyber turned to look at it, the sculpture seemed to come to life, it became lifelike in Cyber's eyes, a strong will was looking at him through the sculpture, a red light flashed in Cyber's eyes, and he asked in a low voice,
"St. Michael, one of the most famous legends of the land, the mysterious Maharaja, the great archangel, the merciful, wi wig wi come to my rescue? Can you give me a new reason to be kind?"
1 second, 2 seconds, the stone statue was silent, the will seemed to be hesitating, Cyber shrugged his shoulders and lowered the brim of his hat,
"Look... You can't, or rather, you don't want to... So don't look at me with that disgusting look! Mephisto is right... Even if I had to sell my soul, I had to find someone who could afford it. ”
He turned neatly and walked out of the cabin, he looked up sharply, the sky was empty, but he seemed to feel a staring at this moment, and it was not a...
"Hell See"
Cyber stepped onto the locomotive and drove into the desert road at a super speed, crossing the bar in the other direction of this desert, under the long night, he had to rush over as fast as possible, but just ten minutes after he was on the road, the scenery in front of him suddenly scattered.
It was like suddenly driving into a tunnel of light and shadow, and Cyber didn't even feel the change in his surroundings, but the earth, which was originally shrouded in a glimmer of dusk light, became dead at this moment, and the whole avenue seemed to be stripped of all colors, as if it had become one of those black and white silent films in an instant.
He is the only one who walks between black and white.
A guy in a black trench coat had his back to him on the road ahead, his left hand in his pocket, and the desert wind blew his hair and trench coat.
He seemed to sense Cyber's arrival, he turned around, it was a white shirt, a crooked tie, a guy with loose black hair and an embarrassed stubble, he looked gloomy, standing in the middle of the road 200 meters in front of him, his legs slightly apart, and the sparkle in his eyes was the only color in this black and white scene.
It was a lazy, cunning, with an undisguised schadenfreude smile, and a temperament that made people want to smash it with a punch.
Saiber, who was sitting on the locomotive, glanced back, the entire road behind him was empty, he turned his head, and could still see the cigarette lit in the hand of the guy standing in front of him, the white smoke continued to escape in the air, Cyber pouted, did not get out of the car, did not stop, but increased his speed, and hit the guy in front of him hard.
The guy lazily put the cigarette in his mouth, then stretched out his left hand, and the dark blue light dots converged in his palm, which caused Cyber to jerk the direction of the car, pulling a long tail mark on the ground, and finally stopping in the center of the desert avenue.
The front of the car was less than 5 meters away from the pretending guy.
Cyber lifted the alloy knife from the side of the locomotive, jumped off the locomotive, stood in front of the uninvited guy, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted the guy directly from the ground.
"Listen, I don't care who you are, and I don't care what you want to do... I'll just say it once!
The guy wasn't afraid, he said in a hoarse voice,
"Bring it!"
He stretched out his hand, reached out to Cyber, and whispered, "Give me what you have in your pocket!"
Cyber glanced at the two contract scrolls in his pocket, he narrowed his eyes, put down the collar of the guy, and the red glint flashed in his lowered eyes, but just as he was clenching the scabbard, the guy in front of him suddenly took a step back, and he looked at Cyber vigilantly,
"You don't want to give it to me, and you want to kill me, right?, hey, calm down, I'm just asking a routine question, if you're willing to keep it, you can keep it, I'm not really interested in that thing. ”
With just one sentence, he successfully broke all the indifferent images he had created before, and the vigilant appearance even had a funny feeling in it.
"Who are you?"
Cyber suppressed the increasingly strange feeling in his heart, and he asked indifferently, "What are you doing here?"
"Uh... Anyway, I don't really want to come. ”
The guy standing in front of Cyber stretched out his fingers and rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache, he snapped his fingers, and the surrounding black and white curtain-like environment changed back to normal at this moment, as if a black and white photo suddenly had color, which was a gesture of kindness.
He rolled his eyes and glanced at Cyber, then reached out and took out a box of Sika cigarettes from his pocket, threw one to Cyber, and then lit it to himself, took a deep breath of smoke, and then pretended to be mysterious,
"But I have to come again, man..."
He seemed ready to babble on again, but Cyber impatiently grabbed him by the collar and pinned the uninvited creature to the locomotive.
"Bang"
"I don't have time to listen to you talk about this nonsense here! And I don't know you, and I don't think you can be trusted! I'll give you another 3 seconds..."
"Okay, okay, you violent guy!"
The guy whose whole body was lifted up slapped Cyber's arm desperately,
"Put me down, hey! this is my best dress!"
He looked up and saw the flames burning in Cyber's eyes, and before he could react, the next moment, "Poof", the long knife came out of its sheath, and the cold alloy knife was against the neck of this funny and mysterious guy, and Cyber's cold voice came into his ears,
"Tell me who you are! What are you doing here! And the last one second!"
In the face of the threat of death, the uninvited guy calmed down, he rekindled a cigarette, and as if he didn't feel the blade around his neck at all, he raised his hands and whispered,
"I'm a professional detective, a part-time exorcist, my name is John Constantine, yes, I'm a handsome magician who walks in the mysterious world, I was just asked by a big guy to bring you a word, I don't think you want to miss it. ”
Cyber gritted his teeth and squeezed a word out of his mouth,
"Say!"
Konstantin lowered his voice with a wink at Cyber,
"Go kill the Witch Heart, bring me its heart... Ahem, I mean, that Lord needs its heart for a special sealing ceremony, and then go see Mephisto, be tough, friends, try your best to delay the time, don't worry about it at all, and give yourself some confidence, there is the strongest Supreme Mage standing behind you... Once the old lady frees her hands, all the troubles you encounter are no longer troubles. ”
Cyber looked at Konstantin with suspicion in his eyes, and the latter gave him an "innocent" look and shrugged his shoulders,
"I didn't lie to you, really! Supreme Mage Ancient One asked me to come, she is now dealing with some troubles in the dark space, in fact, I suspect that Old Lady Ancient One was deliberately entangled by Dormammu, for the purpose of that contract in your hand, you messed everything up, man! In this sense, you are really a genius!"
Cyber took a deep breath, and after more than ten seconds, he withdrew the long knife in his hand and asked in a low voice,
"What the hell is going on, I feel like now... Isn't it just Mephisto and hell on earth? How is it connected to the Supreme Mage and that Dormammu?"
Konstantin's cunning eyes swirled in his sockets, then he coughed lightly and said earnestly,
"You don't seem to realize how hot the thing you hold in your hand is, let Brother Konstantin tell you about it, ahem. ”
Cyber glared at him indifferently, Konstantin's tone choked, he spread his hands and whispered,
"In the 1,000 years since the Supreme Mage banished the gods of the world, this world has never been so lively as it is today, and your actions just now have made a lot of idle guys hiding outside the world into trouble. ”
"Wow, that sounds like a myth. ”
Cyber snorted in a strange tone, and Konstantin reached out to straighten his trench coat and shirt, and he continued,
"In short, it's the reincarnation caused by some deep hatred, you probably don't know yet, the current rulers of hell, Mephisto is just one of them, and the most terrifying names you can think of, Satan, Lucifer, etc., everyone is waiting with interest for the outcome of Mephisto's adventure. ”
"There was a mistake in the agreement between the Supreme Mage and them, and they were caught by Mephisto, and the contract of St. Van Gonza is the substantive embodiment of this loophole, and I don't really know the specific situation, but I know one thing, once Mephisto's hell on earth is established... The old woman of the ancient one no longer wanted to stop the return of the ancient gods... The world will return to the Middle Ages in an instant. ”
The self-proclaimed exorcist reached out and patted Cyber on the shoulder,
"The most serious problem now is that things shouldn't have been this way, and the Saint Van Gonza Pact should have fallen into the hands of Johnny Blazer, and then it was directly wiped out with the power of the Spirit of Vengeance, and this is the real development of the matter. ”
"But now it's in your hands, so the future is suddenly blurred! Not even the best soothsayers can predict what the outcome will be... Two hours ago, everything was doomed, but now, two hours later, the whole universe is in chaos because of your sudden move, and Mephisto has played a really good move!"
"Best of all, you don't know anything about it!"
"I was playing with that passionate beauty at my home in Manhattan 20 minutes ago, and in the blink of an eye I was thrown into the desolate desert of Texas, the ancient one is always so unkind, but considering the special situation, it is understandable, I thought I was miserable enough, but see you..."
Konstantin had an undisguised schadenfreude smile, and he patted Cyber on the shoulder, "Now, as the direct trigger of this sudden super event, tell me, Cyber, being watched by more than 13 god-level beings at the same time, surprise or not?
