Chapter 293: Smoking Cessation and Electric Chairs
"Understood, I'm not going to kill myself." Isabel nodded: "By the way, when you forgave that demon before, the most crucial thing to say will tell us later, what is the matter, can you really send the demon to heaven." β
"No, I'm just scaring him." The exorcist smiled, "The final step of that ritual is for the recipient to open his mouth and ask God for forgiveness so that I can send him in...... God will decide whether to forgive him or not. β
"I see, you are so cunning...... But there is another thing I don't understand, Konstantin...... Uh, I mean John. Angela looked at the exorcist and said, "Since you don't believe in God, why are you desperately trying to get into heaven by yourself?" β
"You haven't been to hell." After a moment of silence, the tall man took out a cigarette, but after seeing Ani, he put it down again: "When I was a child, I committed suicide once because of the problem of yin and yang eyes, my heart stopped beating for two minutes, and I was saved by an electric shock pacemaker after running in hell...... The kind of pain you can't imagine, the flames of hell are burning you, the air is full of pain, and you can't really die in hell, unless an angel comes down with holy light to destroy your soul, otherwise you will be tortured forever, until your mind dissipates and you become an unconscious demon...... I'm sorry, but I don't have much culture and can't describe the pain. I'm not a coward, but I can guarantee that even the bravest will be struck down by the horrors of hell. β
"So you started going crazy to exorcise demons, trying to enter heaven in the service of God?" Weng Wei shook his head disapprovingly: "But heaven is not an army, and it doesn't look at war exploits. You exorcise demons in such a utilitarian way, if I were God, I would not forgive you...... What's more, your thirty cigarettes a day is also a chronic suicide, and the sin of thirty cigarettes does not know how many demons you have to exorcise to pay off. β
[Side Quest, Chronic Suicide:
Konstantin was contaminated with original sin by smoking excessively and persuaded him to quit

Failure Penalty: None]
Can this trigger a task as well? It's just magical...... I have to say that this movie is the most absolute anti-smoking advertisement that reincarnations have ever seen, and the whole world is full of strong malice towards cigarettes - "smoking = chronic suicide = sin that leads to not being able to go to heaven", "Satan the Devil is a shareholder of a cigarette company", these theories are probably fatal to believers, and now even the task of reincarnation is related to quitting smoking......
Konstantin's face turned red all of a sudden, as if he wanted to have a seizure, but his body trembled a few times and then calmed down: "But this is not fair, why are other exorcists eligible to enter heaven as long as they have exorcised demons, and I have exorcised so many to no avail, but it has attracted the attention of Satan?" β
"You have seriously affected the situation of the war, and Satan naturally can't bear you. It's also possible that God wants to test you and wants to see if you can truly redeem yourself, and the devil bets that you can't, so he values you like this. Isabel looked at him with some sympathy: "Believe me, quit smoking, exorcise demons with the thought of saving people instead of yourself, and the Lord will forgive you." β
"Everybody says that!" The exorcist reluctantly said, "But how can there be anything in this world that is truly good for others?" My parents raised me to prevent old age; The Holy See protects the faithful for the strength and expansion of the faith; The opposite sex pursues each other in order to get the same warm return or **** satisfaction; Are those priests, other exorcists, just fighting for the sake of others, not for the feeling of 'I'm a good person' or for the purpose of going to heaven? Even angels are probably driven by instinct to help others...... No one in the world is truly selfless! β
The exorcist's grumbling silenced the scene, and everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
"Heavenly ...... Do you think so, although your statement seems to be very rational and objective...... But God won't forgive you because of the way you look. The blonde looked at him in surprise: "Do you think God wants to see you working for him non-stop, or does he want you to become a good person?" Maybe you're right, everyone does good deeds for themselves...... But don't you think that doing good deeds in order to be a good person is a little more noble than doing good deeds in order to go to heaven? β
ββ
"While you want to enter other people's territory, and on the other hand, you will be charged with others, so it's strange." Ani sat on the couch and whispered.
"You see, even the kids can see what your problem is." Wen Yu couldn't help but smile: "Do good deeds with the fear of God, don't hurry to the church to exorcise two demons all day long and ask Gabriel if he is qualified to go to heaven now, maybe the archangel of other people is annoyed by you, so he will have the idea that human beings cannot be saved." β
"I'm not a child!" The exorcist was so angry that his face turned red, and Ani glared at Wen Yu with blue eyes and grabbed Wen Yu unhappily, forcing the latter to nod and admit that she was an adult before letting go.
"Everybody says that, but every one of you doesn't believe, and you don't believe and you lust for heaven, and that's why you can't be forgiven." Zhang Haolin also said in a daze: "You can not believe in God, and the dead babies and barbarians who have not heard of God are also qualified to go to heaven...... But you have to have a little faith and a bottom line. Other exorcists are eligible to go to heaven not because of how many demons they have exorced, but because of the act of exorcism for the lives of others. Believe me, throw away the cigarette, then sit down and think quietly for a while, go to sleep, and wake up with no more heaven to mind, if only to protect Isabel. You see, Isabel is such a beauty, can you bear to see her forced to death by the son of Satan? β
"Beauty? The female exorcists in your team are all beauties, okay? Isabel pursed her lips disdainfully: "Hey, your name is Raven?" Can you discuss what cosmetics you use, your skin is so good. β
"Good...... I'll be free when I'm free. β
"Maybe, then I won't smoke for the next two days." Konstantin forced a forced smile in annoyance.
"If we foil the plot of the Son of the Beast this time, you can't go to heaven yet, and we will go to hell with you." Mao Dong said proudly: "I would like to see what kind of ghost it is to be able to scare the exorcist Detective Konstantin into doing good deeds." β
β¦β¦
Outside the window, large golden discs are rising from behind houses in the distance, shedding light on the earth, and a new day has begun, both in time and in sense. The exorcist coughed a few times, leaned back on the sofa tiredly, habitually took out the cigarette, hesitated for a moment and threw it into the trash can: "Thank you, I'm curious, do you also believe in God, and also, why can you get so many people together, were you also treated as a neurotic when you were a child?" β

The task of quitting smoking is less rewarding, but it is also easy to do, and after a few words of persuasion as a peer, Konstantin decisively decided, at least temporarily, to quit smoking.
"We have our own belief system...... You don't have to worry about that, as for the neuropathy...... The eastern country we come from has a reasonable and perfect management of psychics, so ......"
"So we weren't treated as neurotics." Mao Dong finished speaking for the captain, in this chaotic world, it is simply impossible not to lie: "If you want to change your faith and find our Eastern God, then you are afraid that you will be disappointed, the God we are talking about is probably one." β
"Damn, you answered everything I wanted to ask." Konstantin said depressedly. "So, what are your plans for today, Barsa is dead, but we can't just keep it."
"I've brought back the electric chair, let's figure out the location of the Halberd of Destiny first, why don't you rest and try again?"
"No need, just let me sit in the electric chair with the idea of saving people." Konstantin walked over to the old giant electric chair: "Isabel, you are a devout believer, and I sat in the electric chair to save you, which should be considered a great merit." β
"Here you go again, you have to protect my sister with mercy and mercy, not for merit!" Angela said annoyedly, turning her head to look at Isabel: "I haven't been to work for the past two days, and I'm with you." β
"Okay."
ββ
Konstantin slept until midnight yesterday when he was woken up by the phone, and after a busy night's work, he dragged his body with terminal lung cancer into the electric chair...... If it weren't for the fact that the exorcist's body with spiritual power was much stronger than that of ordinary people, Zhang Haolin really wouldn't dare to power him.
With his ability, he controlled the liquid metal to form a thin thread, and one end drilled into the socket next to it, and the other end hung in the air, and the electric shock was ready.
"Sprinkle water under my feet, preferably holy water, and there's all in the bucket over there." The exorcist took off his shoes and said, "I was shocked for the first time...... It was the doctor who saved me, and it felt like once I learned to ride a bike, I would never forget it. β
"Won't you feel bad when an electric current passes through?" Ani had been electrocuted a few weeks ago out of curiosity, and never dared to touch the power supply again.
"Compared to staying in hell, being electrocuted is a pleasure." Konstantin took off his shoes and socks and stepped into the water: "Come on, if you find out that I am wrong, immediately cut off the power and wake me up." β
"It is said that the first person to be electrocuted was electrocuted with 1,000 volts, and he was half electrocuted to death, and he died of pain for several minutes." Weng Wei stared at the electric chair and said.
"We're using 110 volts right now." Konstantin said calmly: "Come on, let me see where that halberd of fate is now." If my vital signs start to become abnormal or painful, wake me up. β
Zhang Haolin nodded, waved his hand lightly, and pressed the wire into the water on the ground.
The person receiving the electricity began to convulse all of a sudden, shaking like crazy as if there were 10,000 ants crawling on his body, and several women, including Ani and Cai Tingting, were so frightened that they hid back...... After a few moments, the incoming electric current began to be converted by the electric chair into the energy needed to retrace time, and the recipient's expression calmed down again, and he fell into a trance - the chair began to work.
β¦β¦
"Uh, I forgot to ask, do you still need to keep the power on after you start." Zhang Haolin said embarrassedly as he controlled the conductive wire.
"It's okay, keep the electricity, I'm here, a hundred volts of electricity won't die." Wen Yu stood beside the electric chair with her waist crossed, and the smell of alcohol and smoke in Constantine's house made her very uncomfortable: "It also makes this chaotic and faithless exorcist suffer a little." β
β¦β¦
"Ahh
Zhang Haolin waved his hand to withdraw the metal wire, and pulled up the exorcist whose clothes were soaked on the ground: "Found something." β
"Hah...... The Halberd of Destiny appeared in Mexico, and a possessed Mexican was carrying it all the way to this side, more than a hundred kilometers to the south of us. β
"And what was your name just now?"
"The guy who possessed him is strong!" Konstantin panted, "He was able to see through time and space to find my peep, and I was trying to see which way he was going, thinking that maybe we could stop him, and he found me and punched me away." β
"Knocked you flying across the plane?" Zhang Haolin asked in surprise, although they knew that the laws of this world were relatively chaotic, they had never thought that they would exaggerate to this extent...... The enemy is stronger than they expected!
"That halberd bearer should be possessed by the Beast Gate." Mao Dong guessed: "There is no such exaggeration as beating people away across time and space, John should have been traced back to the current time period just now, the beast door noticed the abnormality and carried out a spiritual attack on his soul, John's spirit is only more than two hundred, naturally he is not an opponent, so he broke the ritual and woke up." β
"That's right...... I wasn't hurt, the ceremony was interrupted. Konstantin leaned back on the electric chair tiredly: "I haven't figured out his specific location, what to do now, I'm afraid it won't work to peep in the electric chair again." β
"Hmm...... He probably wouldn't have changed course, since his destination was north and by the sea, and the safest thing for him to do was to hurry over and hand over the Halberd of Destiny to Gabriel. Mao Dong said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know the specific route, we can use the computer to look up the cases on the road from Mexico to Los Angeles...... He must have forcibly crossed the border line, grabbed the car and drove all the way over, which is easy to find. β
"Then let's start immediately, I don't want to test the archangel's combat power, I hope to get the halberd of fate before it falls into the hands of this little boss."
β¦β¦
A moment later, all the recent criminal cases along the route south of Los Angeles were read, and after drawing them on the map, a little analysis can be seen: the Mexicans possessed by the gate should have traveled along the San Diego Highway to Los Angeles, as for why they were not caught all the way, it can only be attributed to the Devil's Son having a strong mind control ability.
"Wen Yu and I will intercept the Halberd of Destiny, and the others will stay to protect Isabel." Zhang Haolin said: "It is estimated that there is no danger, if the two of us join forces and can't even beat an ordinary person possessed by the Beast Gate, then it is a bastard, it is estimated that there is no problem with your eyeliner cleared, and if something happens, you can come back in a few minutes." β
"Okay, let's go back quickly."
The large pile of Titan trophies captured, as well as the "spare" spiritual abilities in the team, have become their biggest reliance in dividing their troops at this moment, although Cai Tingting's spiritual scan can only check the situation within one kilometer, but it is also an early warning, not to mention that they have released some small flying insect detectors into the surrounding streets and alleys...... Even if something happens, they can react quickly and get back in ten minutes after a hundred kilometers.
After making a little arrangement, Zhang Haolin took Wen Yu from the roof of the building and flew towards the south of Los Angeles.
