Chapter 12: The Devil's Tears Bar
Johnny Brace, sunny and handsome, outgoing, is a motorcycle stunt rider, known as the hot Johnny. He has exceeded the limit many times without regard for his life, and has set many world records for motorcycle stunts, and is known as the invincible king of cars.
Today, the hot Johnny made the hottest headlines in Texas when he successfully flew over a football field with six Black Hawk helicopters on his motorcycle.
However, this Yingao has little to do with it, and he understands it only because almost everyone around him is discussing this matter.
Ying Ao was sitting in a bar called Devil's Tears at this time, watching Johnny's performance on TV, many witchers were smacking, this guy was so bold.
"What's going on here?" Ying Ao looked at the seriously injured witchers next to him and asked the waiter sitting at the bar.
"You're new here, aren't you?" The waiter looked at Ying Ao and asked, he basically knew all the demon hunters who were active in Texas, although there were occasional witchers like Ying Ao, but they were not common, especially some recent events.
"Yes, from Gotham." Ying Ao wanted to inquire about the situation first.
"I don't know what's going on, someone has been eyeing the cemetery around here recently, and you also know that there are a lot of dark creatures and dark rituals that will be related to the cemetery, so after a cemetery was attacked, we sent someone to investigate, and guess what?" This waiter was very talkative, and Ying Ao didn't even use any tips to tell the news.
Maybe it's because of the trust between the witchers?
Ying Ao laughed at himself when he thought about how he had almost been kicked out by the strong witcher who was guarding the bar when he entered the bar earlier because he didn't show the invitation/witcher code.
"The cemetery caretaker died of sulfur poisoning." Another voice came from behind the waiter, and a strong arm slapped the waiter.
"Branch President." When the waiter saw this two-meter-tall strong man, he immediately said respectfully.
"Don't be surprised, Sir, this kid is still a probationary witcher, Francis, the president of the Texas chapter." The strong man walked up to Ying Ao and sat down, his movements were a little unnatural, obviously there were a lot of wounds in the place covered by the witcher's windbreaker.
"Yes, Lord? Are you President Yifeng? The waiter opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect that this guy who was not much different from his age turned out to be the initiator of the Demon Hunter Guild.
"All right, Yed, go and add wine to them." Francis patted the waiter, known as Yed, who reacted and immediately brought him over with a bottle.
"Look at what you're doing here...... Big losses? Ying Ao looked around, almost all of the witchers who were drinking in the bar were injured.
"Seven dead, all old demon hunters." Francis sighed, her eyes a little moist.
"Who's the opponent?" Ying Ao didn't have any mood swings.
"We've investigated the specifics, and as HQ guessed, the main cause is that Mephisto. But in fact, strictly speaking, Mephisto did nothing, and it was his son Blackheart who caused the chaos. He has already attacked four churches, three cemeteries. Francis pulled out a piece of information.
"Blackheart? Mephisto has a son? Ying Ao was surprised.
"Yes, we only learned about it a while ago from a ghost rider who defected from Mephisto. After Mephisto was summoned to the Source Star by Jocelyn, the Blackheart Demon took advantage of Mephisto's absence in the base camp to swallow Mephisto's soul clone in the Source Star with a secret method, and transformed it into a temporary shell of himself. The last few conflicts were caused by this black-hearted demon and several local demons he had recruited. Francis said, pointing to the highlighted place on the document.
"Hehe, isn't this a hellish tradition? The sons of the devil will rebel against their Lao Tzu. Last time, Mammon seemed to have done it in order to rebel against Satan. Ying Ao couldn't help but shake her head as she looked at the information.
"As much as I'd love to see them dog-eat-dog, why did this group of guys set the location of the fight in the source star?" Francis drank the whiskey from his glass and said depressedly.
"Because there are so many people and so many resources. And the location. "Ying Ao naturally knows what's going on, the source star has a formation to suppress, once they are allowed to be the king and dominate, then it is not a simple matter no matter who wants to clean them up, the investment and the harvest are completely disproportionate, so this group of second-generation demons will target the source star.
"What do you mean?" Francis asked, surprised.
"Earth demons, wind demons, water demons, and a few mongrel demons. How can they beat you so badly? Ying Ao changed the subject, the truth of the matter did not benefit Francis.
"These demons are a bit special, they are very powerful, and for some reason, they can still use powerful magic. We're ashamed that we're not opponents. Francis sighed and didn't say anything about Ying's behavior of changing the subject.
"Huh? Can dark energy also be used? Ying Ao asked in surprise, after Loki changed the law of the source star, how could this group of demons use magic to defeat so many demon hunters unless they reached the king level. Especially Francis and the most seriously injured witchers were all heaven-level powerhouses.
"That's right, because they can use magic, we're caught off guard. Chairman Yifeng, how much support has come from the headquarters? Francis couldn't help but ask, seeing that there were no other face-wrenching witches nearby.
"I'm the only one, and you know it's because the witchers have formed an alliance with S.H.I.E.L.D.
A few days ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Witchers were conducting a joint operation to take down the Hulk. Therefore, Blade has already taken most of the masters to Canada.
So for the time being, it's just me. Ying Ao gave a frustrating answer to Francis's dismay, given the Hulk's destructive power, S.H.I.E.L.D. had to take coercive measures, and because the Hulk had crippled several witchers who tried to stop him, Blade led a group of witchers to clean up the grumpy man.
"Well, I'm really in a hurry." Francis was depressed.
"Have you figured out why it went to the cemetery specifically to make trouble?" After reading the information, Ying Ao found that the black-hearted demons were all cemeteries, or places with cemeteries: churches, cemeteries, cemeteries, and ...... There are even mass graves.
"No, because we didn't have any living mouths, we squatted at a cemetery to find them, it was supposed to be an ambush, but we didn't want to be attacked by them." Francis drank another glass of wine, and his tone was indescribably gloomy.
"Where's the Wraith Cop you said betrayed Mephisto?" Ying Ao thought of something and turned her head and asked.
"He? He worked as a caretaker in a small cemetery on the outskirts of the city...... "Francis paused suddenly, and he realized that he had overlooked something.
"Damn, that bastard old man must know what the Blackheart Demon is looking for! Hiss......" Francis stood up sharply, but his face turned blue as if he had been torn at the wound.
"Okay, you give me the address, and I'll talk to him." Ying Ao pressed Francis back to the stool and asked.
"XXX on the outskirts of the city, it's a dilapidated little church." Francis slowly sat back on the stool, obviously he also knew that with his current physical condition, it was best to recuperate, and it would be very difficult to even walk, let alone find the ghost rider.
"I'll meet him." Ying Ao raised his head and drank the liquor in his hand and said. Drop a gold coin and leave the bar.
