Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Spirit of Los Angeles

Looking at the demon Belul walking towards him behind him, John only raised his eyebrows, and said very unattractively, "Do we know each other?" After all, the hell demons he deals with are basically big guys, and they can find the existence of blueprints in fairy tales and myths and legends, like this Belul, John is really not impressed, but it doesn't mean that he underestimated Belul, the demon who can be named by Lucifer, the lord of hell, is not far behind.

"You're famous, John. Constantine. Belul also recognized John's record of playing the three first-time degenerates, and the ones who were able to play the highest rank of hell throughout the ages were John. Konstantin alone.

"Wow, it looks like a demon knows my record now, and I'm a little flattered." In the face of Belul's praise, John Pi said with a smile, looking at the pool full of corpses in front of him, and then asked, "What is this for?" ”

"Didn't you see, I'm building a pool." Belur teased, stretched out a fat foot and stirred in the pool before saying, "You know, it's a very patient job, I have to keep the blood alive, and I have to wait until the flesh on these corpses melts into blood, and when the bones are finally removed, the pool is finished, man, it's important to stay in shape." ”

"Well, about that." John glanced at the other parts of Belul's body except for his hands and feet like a human, and directly mended the knife: "There is still a certain gap between you and the word man, right?" ”

Only John, a guy running around in hell and the world, can deliberately mock an unknown demon in this situation, it seems that John really said that he was embarrassed, Belul grabbed John a little annoyed, and his big hand directly covered his collar to his neck, and directly mentioned it to the pool.

"John. Konstantin, pay attention to your wording, and don't forget what you came for. ”

"Ha, I thought you didn't know what I was here for." Even though he was lifted in mid-air by Berul, John still maintained a mocking voice and said unhurriedly.

When John said this, Belul remembered the purpose of his visit to John this time, and put John back on the ground, and then said, "So, how did you find me, I thought you were going to stay longer." ”

"I have my own way," he said, straightening the folds in his clothes, and the cigarette in his mouth did not loosen, and he took a puff and spit a smoke ring directly in Belul's face. "So what do you want me to do to get Tracy's soul back?"

With an ugly smile, Belul turned his back to John and said, "I want you to do what you do best, exorcism." ”

"Exorcism? What the hell do you want to do, Belul. John was vigilant, one of the most important principles of dealing with demons is not to believe everything the demons say, and the best way is to take the right to speak in their own hands from the beginning, but Belul did not answer John's question directly, but walked to the red curtain in this room and invited John: "Why don't you come with me, you will know my purpose." ”

"Gladly."

Lighting a cigarette again, John followed Belul and walked behind the curtain. As soon as he stepped inside, John felt as if he had entered another dimension. The smooth wooden planks, the dance hall lights of the 20s/30s in the upper world, and the brightly dressed men and women dancing to the music all looked quite normal, but this is the territory of the demon Belur, how could it be so simple. The guards who weaved through the dancing crowd were a group of demons in suits, whips raised in their hands, and any man or woman who didn't follow the rhythm and danced out of order would be beaten to pieces.

The band on the second floor plays, and each musician is a demon with a hideous face, and the instruments used are different from the usual ones. There was a naked woman tied to the harp, and every time she swung the strings with her claws, there would be a high-voltage electric current, and the sound of the woman's screams came out one by one. The instrument of the jazz drum, a man was lying on top of the drum kit in a large zigzag, the spikes that came out pierced his limbs, the rod with the nails struck him in the abdomen, and every time he swung down, he got up with a touch of blood and flesh, and the dull sound of the drum came from each of them, and almost every instrument here was linked to the human body, and every instrument was played with the same sound, screams, and these sounds merged together to play a hell's concerto that belonged to the demons.

"Is this hell?" Looking at this somewhat familiar scene, John asked with a heavy expression.

"Congratulations, you're right, this is hell, hell for me." Belul said a little proudly, with a wave of his hand, the curtain of the black-and-white movie of the last century appeared in the center of the stage, a demon grabbed a pair of men and women on the dance floor at random, and threw them directly into the curtain, and screaming subtitles appeared on the curtain, and the men and women who were thrown into it were in it, and the demons who appeared were tortured and killed in various ways.

Looking at the panicked faces inside in the face of all kinds of death, Belul looked happy. "Look at this city, John, do you know what you call it on earth? Sex and the City. Belul said to himself. Backed by Hollywood, there are a lot of young people here who want to soar, their desires are pure enough, and their soul characteristics are delicious enough, and what I need to do is to provide a little temptation when they want to get something for nothing, and they can get a delicious soul. ”

"So, you want to open a hellish chain in Los Angeles?"

"Exactly, John, I'm starting to like you." Belul complimented him and continued, "But there are several demons who have noticed the characteristics of this city like me, and their strength is not inferior to mine, what should I do if there are peers competing with you?" John, the answer is, drive all these peers back to hell, and I will have the soul of the city alone, which is why I came to you. ”

"Can't find me, so by going down to my best friend's daughter, let me come to you myself, smart thing, Belul. So I'll take a look at it first, I'll drive the other demons in Los Angeles back to hell, and you'll give me Tracy's soul back, right? ”

"That's right."

"So what are we waiting for, let's end this boring drama quickly."

"Of course, after you get rid of those demons, you know where to find me, and after all these years of dealing with us, you should know better than us how much we value the observance of the contract."

With a snap of his fingers, the picture in front of John's eyes disappeared without a trace, even Belur, he didn't see it, looked around, and realized that he was in front of the gate of the mansion, and Chas, who was also looking around blankly, saw John's appearance and quickly ran over. "John, what's going on!"

"It's nothing, Chas, it's just a deal with the devil, let's go, we'll have to get back to business." Without further ado, John opened the car door and sat down, and Chas had no choice but to get into the car, start the car, and leave the devil's street.

On the way back to the city, John also told Chass all the conversations he had with Belul, which soothed Chas's brows, who had been frowning, and exorcising demons could be exchanged for his daughter's soul, so Chass didn't have much to worry about at all, after all, when he was partnering with John before, there were countless demons that he had exorcized, and this task made him breathe a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, John, who had been looking at the scenery outside the window, shouted directly to Chas on the side as if he suddenly saw something: "Stop!" Chase! ”

Stimulated by John, Chas also came to the emergency brakes, and before he could complain, John had already unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, and walked towards a bar called Los Angeles across the street.

"Seriously! Are you still in the mood to drink at this time?! Chas yelled at his friend through the window.

"Relax old friend, just a glass of wine." Without looking back, John walked towards the bar. At this time, an old man passed by, and suddenly turned his head to look at John, and pointed his finger at the bar, his face was dull, and his eyes flashed with a white light.

Sure enough, looking at the old man's movements, John also silently said in his heart why he asked Chas to stop. Because just when he was sitting in the car, the driver of a bridge car passing by his car also appeared to act with the old man just now, with a dull face, pointing to the Los Angeles bar sign in front of him, and then speeding away. Counting the previous time in the residential building, a total of three times, since coming to the city, these strange experiences have made John feel that the disappearance of his friend's daughter's soul is just a bait, and that there is something bigger to come, and now, he is gradually getting closer to the truth.

Pushing open the door, the bell hanging on the door attracted the attention of the customers who were drinking inside, but it was only for a moment, and the cigarette that had not been lit in his mouth gave up when John saw the sign prohibiting smoking, walked up to the bartender, ordered a glass of ale, and sat down at the bar, scanning the crowd. There is not a trace of abnormality, everyone here behaves in the most normal ordinary person, and then John also believes that the one who let him in is definitely not the one who let him drink.

"Good evening, John." While John was glancing at him, a hotly dressed young lady sat down beside him and greeted him, just as the bartender had left the bar, leaving only John and the young girl he didn't know for the time being.

"You called me? What should I call you? John did not shy away from scanning every part of the young woman's body in front of him with his eyes, and said in his mouth.

And this young girl also grabbed John's tie directly, pulled it in front of her, and a pair of red lips were directly printed on it, and after a hot kiss, she said faintly: "You can call me Los Angeles." ”
