Chapter 172: The Secret Behind the Record
"Don't be embarrassed for him, he doesn't know anything, everything is my own decision!"
The blonde woman rushed out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in her hand.
Seeing this scene, both Levi and Konstantin were not surprised, but the man who opened the door for the two of them before was a little confused.
He couldn't understand why his wife, who had been gentle for so many years, was suddenly so irritable.
But the man knew that it must have something to do with these two "new neighbors" who had just appeared.
So, the man who was still enthusiastic just now looked at Levi and Konstantin with a wary face.
"Who the hell are you? This is my home, you are not welcome, please go out!"
As he spoke, the man reached out and took a double-barreled shotgun from the wall next to him and aimed it at the two of them.
The woman is holding a kitchen knife, and the man is holding a double-barreled shotgun, not to mention, this scene really looks like a husband and wife follow that taste!
Moreover, it can be seen from the man's action of loading and loading that the other party is not bluffing.
If the two don't leave soon, he'll really shoot!
If there is an ordinary person standing opposite the couple at this time, this picture does look quite intimidating, and maybe they will really scare them away.
But it's a pity that now standing opposite the two are Levi and Konstantin.
Although Konstantin's physique is different from ordinary people because of magic, he will still be injured by thermal weapons, but instead of panicking now, he looks at the couple with interest.
His confidence is Levi.
Now Konstantin feels more and more how happy it is to have a thigh hug!
Levi didn't disappoint him either.
Levi didn't care about the "murder weapon" in the hands of the two at all, but looked at the two and said.
"Trust me, you don't want to do that."
Levi then turned his gaze to the blonde woman.
"This blonde lady, do you really think that these guys in your hands can hurt the famous exorcist master Konstantin?"
「???」
Konstantin, who was watching the bustle from the sidelines, had a question mark on his face.
Don't take me with you, you brag!
You can really kill me!
The kitchen knife in the woman's hand was not mentioned, but he was very sure that the double-barreled shotgun in the man's hand would definitely not be able to withstand it if he gave himself a shot!
Although Konstantin thought so, the blonde woman was in a tangle.
After signing the contract with the mysterious man, she has a new understanding of the supernatural world that is completely different from ordinary people.
The world is real, and Konstantin, the master exorcist, is not a swaggering liar.
Because of the fear of ghosts and gods, the woman finally became unconfident.
With a hesitant expression, she slowly put down the kitchen knife in her hand, and then looked at Levi and Konstantin pleadingly.
"Two gentlemen, this matter has nothing to do with my husband, the music director Hans was killed by me, can you please not embarrass my husband, I am willing to go to the police station with you."
Hearing his wife admit to the murder, the man looked at her in disbelief.
In his impression, his wife didn't dare to kill even a chicken, let alone kill someone.
The woman's will had already begun to waver, but to everyone's surprise, Levi smiled and shook his head in the face of her request.
The blonde woman was stunned for a moment, and then her expression became gloomy.
"It seems that the two gentlemen are unwilling to let us go."
The woman is ready to fight to the death, although she knows that even if she fights to the death, she may not be able to help the two, but for the sake of her husband, she must do this.
And the woman's husband is also not a bad breed, although it is not clear why it happened
, but he still chose to help his relatives and not help, no matter what, it is impossible for him to let Levi and Konstantin take their wives away today!
But......
Levi's next sentence turned things around again.
"Ms. Blonde, I think you may have misunderstood, the two of us are not from the LAPD, nor are we related to the LAPD, we are just tracking down the record in your possession."
Levi still had a smile on his face.
"You can turn yourself in if you want, but after you tell us about this record, that's your freedom."
Constantine:......
Man:......
Blonde Woman: ......
If it weren't for the fact that none of the three people present were sure that they could beat Levi, I'm afraid that the three people present would have come up a long time ago!
Can you not gasp like this when you speak!
After such a fuss, the mood of the woman and her husband also eased a lot.
The two of them didn't have to think desperately, and the woman pulled her husband back to the sofa, intending to explain the origin of the record to Levi and Konstantin.
At the same time, I also intend to give my husband a reasonable explanation for the cause and effect of the incident.
"My name is Lillian Sinder, my husband's name is Sammy Blair, and it all started a few years ago......
The story of the blonde woman and her husband is not old-fashioned, at least to Levi.
The woman's husband was originally a well-known music creator, but he suffered from a terminal illness a few years ago, which is simply incurable according to the medical level of the human world today.
Women spend all their money to treat their husbands, and because of illness, men are unable to continue making music, so they have no income.
The family's financial situation and quality of life plummeted, but it still could not recover the man's disease.
Just when the family was gradually despairing, a mysterious man took the initiative to find Lilian, who was accompanying her in the hospital.
The man's name was Anton.
He claimed that he could cure her husband's terminal illness, but he needed a contract with him......
When the woman said this, especially when she said the name Anton, Konstantin's face changed slightly.
As a person who has been in the supernatural world for a long time, this method of doing things reminds him of a person he knows, also named Anton.
It's also an old acquaintance of his!
And when the woman took out a contract next, Konstantin confirmed that it was exactly what he had guessed!
That's what my old acquaintance did!
Magical contracts are roughly the same as those of human society, but they differ in some details.
For example, in some cases, a contract in human society can be refused to be performed, and legal punishment can be evaded through lawyers.
But this is not the case with magical contracts, and if you refuse to fulfill them, you will either be forced to fulfill them or your soul will be taken.
Moreover, you must use your real name and the symbol of your soul origin to sign a magic contract, and you can't impersonate anyone else's identity at all!
And it was this soul origin that made Konstantin confirm that the other party to the magic contract was his old acquaintance Anton!
Konstantin took the deed and carefully examined its contents.
Although the words on the contract are very obscure to ordinary people, and even guessing the meaning of it, for Konstantin, he can understand the contract at a glance.
The contract is not complicated, Anton will cure Sammy Blair at the cost of the souls of four humans.
Now a quarter of the contract has disappeared, and it is the music director who committed suicide in the record company not long ago.
As for the record, it was found by Lilith based on a record from the record company many years ago, and she spent a lot of money to buy it from the previous owner of the record company.
Otherwise, she is an ordinary woman, even if she wants to kill someone, she can't do it.
With Lilith's peace of mind, things are clear.
In order to save her husband, Lilith chose to sign a contract with Anton and use the record to start killing people, and the first unlucky ghost to choose was the music director.
Strictly speaking, before Lilith's husband fell ill, the family had a discord with the music director, and the music director used his position to encroach on the music created by Lilith's husband.
And Lilith's husband was deeply moved when he learned what happened, especially after learning that he was able to recover because Lilith had signed a contract with the devil.
The relationship between the husband and wife has always been excellent, and now it is even more impossible for him to let Lilith do anything!
For the eye communication between this couple, Levi and Konstantin are a little blind!
Levi didn't feel any pity for the story that happened to Lilith, which was just a pediatric thing compared to the simple Gotham.
Even the death of a music director is not a big deal at all.
Of course, Levi didn't dislike Lilith because of this, and even because Lilith was quite cooperative, Levi didn't have the idea of meddling in the LAPD.
Konstantin's attention was more focused on Lilith's contract.
He picked up the contract and asked Lilith, pointing to it.
"Lady Lilith, I just read this contract, and do you know that according to the contract, when you collect the souls of four people, all the handwriting on the contract will disappear, and your soul will also be secretly moved?"
When Lilith heard Konstantin's words, there was no surprise on her face, but she nodded very calmly.
"I knew it from the beginning, but not long ago Anton came to me again and told me that as long as I collected the souls of four people, and this record, he would not take my souls."
Hearing this, the expression on Lilith's husband's face suddenly became anxious!
Just because Lilith was able to kill the music director with the record doesn't mean that the same trick can work four times!
Not to mention that now that Constantine and the two have come to the door, you can guess with your ass that Constantine will never allow Lilith to use this record to harm people again!
Sammy looked at Konstantin and Levi with pleading eyes.
"You're both exorcists, aren't you? Please, save my wife! We can pay for it! I can sell the house and raise money......
For the man's words, Konstantin felt pity in his heart and had no desire to collect money at all.
As for Levi......
Although his mood did not fluctuate as strongly as Konstantin, he did not bother to continue to delay time here.
It's more important to kill the evil creatures of the "quest monster".
Levi shook his head.
"Miss Lilith, Mr. Sammy, I won't take the money, you just give me the record, and I'll help you deal with the rest of the problems."
Konstantin was stunned when he heard this, but it was naturally impossible for him to dismantle Levi's platform, and then nodded as well.
"That's right, leave it to us."
With the endorsement of Constantine, the famous exorcist, the two of them successfully obtained the record from the Liliths.
As soon as you get your hands on the record, you can feel a piercing chill spreading from the record.
- Of course, this chill is a bit fatal to ordinary people, but to Levi it is as harmless as cold well water in the summer.
It's no wonder that Lilith just packed the record in a bag.
With the record in hand, Levi and Konstantin returned to the car.
"Dude, you should know that Anton, right?"
As soon as he got into the car, Levi was the first to speak to Conse
Tandin said.
As soon as he was at Lilith's house, Levi noticed something strange in Konstantin's expression.
"Well, that guy is a magic merchant." Konstantin's face sank, "He can get some in-demand goods that can't be found anywhere else, but it's more like a black marketeer."
In two simple sentences, Levi understood Anton's positioning.
"In other words, it's very likely that this record is not what Anton wants, but that someone else wants to get it through Anton." Levi touched his chin as he carefully examined the record in his hand. "Then let's go to Anton now?"
Although Levi didn't know about this Anton, he knew from his conversation with Lilith just now that this Anton seemed to have the ability to collect the souls of others.
This evil ability should be similar if it is not an evil creature.
Konstantin nodded after a little hesitation, agreed to Levi's proposal, and started the car randomly.
It is not wrong that he is familiar with Anton.
But strictly speaking, the two sides are not friends, at most they can be regarded as a short-term partnership.
He also used to buy some in-demand supplies through Anton's channels, and that's it.
Anton was targeted by Levi, and he could only be considered unlucky.
Konstantin would not be so stupid to make Levi unhappy for Anton.
And after Konstantin started the car and left.
Behind them, Lilith and Sammy, a couple in the house, hugged each other tightly.
The two men stood at the window, silently looking in the direction of the car.
All the two could do was pray silently in their hearts, hoping that Konstantin and Levi could resolve the matter safely.
Then their lives will be calm again.
After experiencing a world that is difficult for ordinary people to touch, the two people feel more and more that no matter whether they are poor or rich in the future, as long as the two of them are safe and sound.
As an old acquaintance and patron, Konstantin found Anton's lair without the slightest effort.
It's an old neighborhood.
Although the law and order in Los Angeles is not as simple as that of Gotham, there is darkness in the shadows wherever it is.
So the same exists here. Illegal organizations, pickpockets, street women and other marginal occupations are gathered in this old neighborhood.
The sudden appearance of two brightly dressed strangers, Levi and Konstantin, naturally aroused the idea of these marginal professions.
"Don't worry, they won't act rashly." Konstantin was afraid of attracting Levi's hostility, so he hurriedly explained.
Levi just smiled and didn't say anything.
Although Konstantin is becoming more and more tacit with himself, it seems that he doesn't know much about himself......
No matter how chaotic it is, can there be Gotham chaos here? It's a hellish dungeon! It's just a small scene!
Because of the accumulation of debris on the road, the two had to move forward on foot.
Led by Konstantin, the two men walked through several alleys before arriving at their destination.
A large recycling station.
Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and in fact this is the lair of Anton, a magical black market merchant.
The two walked into the recycling station, and a clerk saw Konstantin and didn't even ask Levi's identity, so he nodded to the two and put them inside.
Konstantin's face is still very useful in the Los Angeles wizarding world.
Soon, the two met Anton!
The inside of the scrapyard is completely different from the mess of the outside world, just like Konstantin's stronghold, not only has a huge space been dug out of the ground, but also inside the stronghold, there are all kinds of strange items and books displayed on the cabinets on both sides.
Levi glanced at Konstantin beside him in some surprise.
Konstantin understood what he was thinking and nodded to Levi.
"That's right, my stronghold was built after Anton."
While the two were talking, a man walked out of the adjacent room, his movements exaggerated.
"Hey! Look, who is this? Looks like our god and ghost expert, the master of dark magic, has come to visit my business again!"
Konstantin whispered to Levi, "He's Anton."
I have to say that Anton is really worthy of the title of black market merchant.
Because he's really black!
As we all know, even Nigo is divided into two colors.
Matte black and glossy black.
And this Anton is frosted black, and it's as black as night!
It is no exaggeration to say that if it is in the dark, this is simply a natural optical camouflage camouflage!
Levi thought that even if he wasn't an evil creature, he couldn't get anything to do with it.
But after Anton's appearance, Levi realized that he had guessed wrong.
Although this guy has a strange aura on his body, it definitely has nothing to do with evil creatures!
This made Levi's plan to flatten the past have to be put on hold again.
"Man, I've decided that we'd better salute before we soldier, and find a way to get this guy out of his mouth about this record." Levi whispered to Konstantin.
Konstantin nodded knowingly.
In fact, according to Konstantin's idea, after obtaining the record, he can cast a spell to send it back to hell, which can be regarded as solving the problem.
But Levi rejected his offer at the time and insisted on digging out the secret.
Although Konstantin couldn't understand why Levi did this, the strong naturally had the reasons of the strong, anyway, as long as he cooperated with Levi......
He stepped forward directly, said hello to Anton, and then said straight to the point.
"Anton, I'm not here this time to take care of your business, I want to ask you about something, trust me, concealment and secrecy won't do you any good......
