296. A gamble
The newspaper in Konstantin's hand was writing that a certain high-class ball in New York was attacked by an unknown creature, hundreds of people were torn apart, the ball became a slaughterhouse, and the surveillance video captured the face of the attacker, and the newspaper also published it, a monster with a hideous and terrifying face, fiery red skin, and like a gorilla.
This is already the seventh accident that has occurred this month.
Constantine came to New York, but never saw the mysterious Evan siblings again, and the atrocities of the Satanic Son made him not think it was a hoax, and he once thought that the two siblings might be dead, which made him feel a little sorry, mainly for the beautiful Carrie.
"Compared to Lucifer, the so-called son of Satan is not as good as a child who can only play with mud."
Konstantin nodded in agreement, "You're right, not to mention that the latter has a relationship with whether it will be a 'silka' cigarette or a hell's skinning table that will accompany me a year later."
Suddenly, the mobile phone in Konstantin's pocket rang, he picked up the phone, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Okay, I see, thank you dude, I will invite you to drink if I have the chance.."
"Someone saw the Winchester brothers, heading towards a small town... It is said that a priest who was bitten by a poisonous snake came back to life, and also gained mystical powers to heal others, and even caused a paraplegic athlete to grow feet again. Wow, what a strange story, no wonder our ghost catching brothers are in a hurry to get there."
Konstantin said, looking up, only to find that the angel had long since disappeared, and only a voice came from the distance.
"I hope you'd better move faster, Konstantin.."
Konstantin pursed his lips, took out a cigarette and lit it, muttering dissatisfiedly: "There is no one in this world who will value his life more than me... I don't need your reminder, rude guys.. Ahem.."
...
Carlo was shocked after the weirdo said "You're finally here".
What does that mean? He's waiting for himself, but I don't know him at all.
"Who the hell are you?"
Carlo frowned tightly, looked directly into the strange man's face, and said word by word.
"I'm dying, my name doesn't make sense... But if you're still wondering, then... Just call me Klor.."
The strange man replied with a hoarse voice.
"I've waited tens of thousands of years for it to find you, alas.."
The strange man looked at Carlo, his eyeless face showed a sad and disappointed expression, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity that you are still too weak, and besides, you are not very smart... Oh yes, it should have brought you here."
The strange man muttered to himself, but Carlo trembled as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
What does he mean by that? Does he mean "it" refers to the system? How does he know he has a system in him? Hell, what the hell is going on...
Carlo's face was calm as usual, but the constricted pupils showed his nervousness, his mind was a mess, and now he had a feeling of being seen through all over his body, shocked, panicked, fearful... All kinds of emotions filled his chest, and his breathing couldn't help but speed up slightly.
"I feel your heart beating fast.." The weirdo spoke again, "Are you scared? Carlos..."
"Buzz"..
"Carlos.. Carlos.. Carlos.."
The strange man's voice kept echoing in Carlo's ears, like a distant bell...
Carlo suddenly calmed down unexpectedly, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, who are you?"
"I've already said it, my name is Klor... Well, to be more specific, I am from the underworld and was born in the River Styx... I know a little secret of yours, but don't worry, I have no ill will towards you.."
The strange man sighed suddenly, stretched out his right hand, and slashed his chest and abdomen with his long nails, which were empty and charred.
"I can't do anything to you, I'm a dead man, and my homeland calls me all the time... The magic circle on the ground is also slowly failing, you should be able to feel it."
Carlo sensed it slightly, and sure enough, he could already sense the power surging in his body, and now there was no problem in releasing the demon body.
"I just wanted to see you and say a few words to you... Good boy, don't interrupt me, I don't have much time.."
Carlo hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
The strange man smiled rarely, very ugly, and he spoke slowly, and the candles in the hall were flickering and flickering.
"You're coming too early, more than I expected... Oh, here's the idea of it, maybe I'm thinking too superficially.. Then you have to remember every word I say.."
"This world .." The weirdo raised his hand and waved, "It's ordinary, it's also special... It's a huge table, a table for the big guys.."
"Which big shots?" Carlo said coldly.
"I said, it's better not to interrupt me.." The strange man sighed helplessly, "You can guess, God, Lucifer, and Satan that scoundrel... Well, three people, or two people."
The stranger's last words were slurred, and Carlo was puzzled and wanted to speak, but held back.
"The victory or defeat was predestined a long time ago, but the loser is not reconciled, the rules are set, he can't change it, he can only break it.."
"It's like a gambler in the human race, who loses red-eyed, and has no choice but to flip the table and cheat.."
When Carlo heard this, he became more and more puzzled, what is the gamble, what is the bet, who is the loser?..
The strange man coughed twice, and a third of the candles in the hall were extinguished, and his voice weakened.
"The cheaters began to throw stones at the gambling table, trying to destroy the game, but they never succeeded, because since the winner is the winner, he is naturally stronger than the loser. However, here you are.."
The strange man pointed at Carlo and said, word by word, "You are the biggest stone, enough to smash this table completely."
Carlo raised his eyebrows fiercely, he remembered what was said in the introduction of the system mission, God and Satan's eyes are often watching here, is it the two of them who are gambling against each other? However, Casidio and Uriel died at their own hands again, and did not have the strength to suppress themselves steadily... No, the power would have been sufficient, but Uriel said that one of the angels had rebelled against God and that he could have escaped the catastrophe. So the winner is God?..
The more he thought about it, the more mysteries he had, and Carlo's mind became more confused, and his first reaction now was to immediately get out of this plane, get out of this messy gambling game, and escape back to the abyss.
Stay away from these terrifying figures, and you should be fine.
The strange man seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and said, "Don't think about running away, that's the real dead end."
Carlo was shocked, only to hear the strange man continue: "Be your stone obediently, smash the table, one side may be angry, but the other side will keep you... That's your only chance to survive."
