[Zhongyingmei] The beating heart

"No...don't do it again..." Constantine took half a step back, but suddenly Johnny Blazer, who was about to walk into the room, was blocked by an invisible wall!He touched his painful head as if hitting a wall in surprise, and Constantine looked at him even more shocked, and immediately pulled Dresden who was standing closer: "Devil! Are you ...Stand still! Devil!!"

"What demon are you talking about?! I'm—"

"I set up an enchantment in this room that neither the crows nor the demons can approach...Why are you blocked outside?!" Constantine jumped in front of Blaze, and he stared at Blaze carefully, " Who the hell are you?!"

"Uh...I'm Johnny Blazer, Dresden, who is this guy?"

"...I thought he was a liar just now." Dresden replied, he glanced at the magic altar that Constantine used to set the enchantment on the small table in the room, "but now I'm sure He's an 'exorcist.' So you'd better answer his question, why does the barrier that stops the ravens and demons keep you out?"

"Wait! Listen to my explanation!" Johnny found that the two sober 'exorcists' in front of him were instantly full of hostility towards him, and he subconsciously took half a step back and the result——

"Because there is an evil spirit 'dwelling' in this guy's body." A voice came from behind Johnny, and Alex stood at the door propping the door frame, clutching his stomach with an unhappy expression, "Uh... This hurts. You just left me in that wreck?! Those birds almost ate me!"

"Didn't you say he was dead?!" Constantine looked back at Reise and Dresden.

"There is such a big hole in his body! No matter how you look at it, he is completely dead, right?!"

"Well, you think I'm dead." Alex didn't pay attention to Dresden's words, he walked into the house and went directly to the kitchen, "Maybe the skull head is really powerful, but he still wants to kill me." It takes a bit of skill and a little more care... Is there anything to eat here? That bird just wasn't enough..."

"Um... you mean, you ate a bird?" Don't look for it, the only food left in the refrigerator was eaten by me not long ago.Constantine originally wanted to tell Alex this fact, but he decided to focus on it, "And you said what is the evil spirit in Blaze's body?"

"In that broken car in Dresden... he didn't even have a door. It's very slow for me to recover without provisions, so it's not surprising that you think I'm dead. Anyway..." Ah Alex was desperate to find that there was nothing edible in the kitchen. He sighed deeply and said, "A crow landed on me and pecked my head, so I devoured it unceremoniously. So I It’s only now that I’ve recovered, but don’t get me wrong, I’m dying of pain and I’m very hungry!”

"Well, Alex, maybe we can order a takeaway for you?" Dr. Pym suggested, fearing that Alex would start to prey on the people in the house if he got hungry to a certain extent.

"Oh, great idea! So I can eat that delivery guy!"

"No! I mean let you eat takeaway food ==!" What kind of thinking circuit are you!Dr. Pym held his head helplessly, "Anyway, you said that you can get the memory of something that was 'swallowed', right?"

"Yes. That crow doesn't seem to be a simple crow? Anyway, I got a memory." Alex shrugged. There was no food in the kitchen, so he had to go back to the living room where everyone was. Seeing Bi'er lying on the sofa with a pale face, he stopped talking and came to Bi'er, "How is she?"

"Not very good." Constantine also sighed. He shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know what to do. According to Blazer, her soul was taken to hell, and right after that wandering around, if we don't hurry up... tell me what you know?"

"...I don't understand everything. In short, this person has a demon called Zatanos." Alex recalled the memory he got, "This crow's memory is even more chaotic than mine. It It seems that this 'Zatanos' has forgotten something important and is 'out of control', and another demon 'Mephisto' who is in charge of the demons sent them to supervise Zatanos so that he would not let him follow Fleeing within the flesh of this human being."

"...I owe a contract with Mephisto." Johnny explained clearly after seeing this. Selling my soul to him. My father took me away when he found out, and we went to Chicago, looking for Dresden. But things didn't get better, and Mephisto, who learned that we escaped, injected something into me. Maybe That's my punishment, I don't know... I don't know what it is. I can feel him. Everywhere I go since then, people die. In Chicago, in New York, in Anywhere...Father at the end too...I don't know what you guys are talking about. Am I a demon? Maybe...I killed a lot of people. Everyone died because of me."

"No you're not. Not a demon."

Suddenly a weak voice came from Alex's side, and Beer struggled to get up from the sofa. She looked at Johnny Blazer and smiled at him: "I know. You are not. You are not a demon. Whether it is The past, the present, or the future. You are not."

"I made you...I made you like this!"

"No...it's not you." Bi'er hugged her arms tightly as she said that, the biting cold lingered around her, and her eyes were sometimes the scene of the house and sometimes a deserted desert, "It shouldn't be Like this. This world...something happened. Some people lost their memories...lost their identities. They didn't become who they were supposed to be...and you too, Johnny. But I know you can find Come back. You can control the evil spirit within you. Not Mephisto, not Zatanos, your power comes from something stronger than them."

"I don't understand, why do you know this? I... If I control it, can I help you?"

"No, it's not helping me Johnny!" Bea lowered her head and hugged herself tightly, she said loudly with all her strength, "It's this world! It needs you! It needs your help! It needs all of you! I Maybe...can't do it...sorry Captain Turing...I..." probably can't do it.This is hell, this bone-chilling cold, this endless sense of despair and the pain that comes from nowhere, this is hell, there is no way to escape...hell.Bi'er's eyes began to lose sight of reality, she felt that her soul was leaving her body, being pulled out forever, and the consciousness that had finally recovered was about to be completely lost!I'm sorry Captain Turing, I'm not as good as you imagined... I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore...

"Oh my god no no no..." Constantine didn't know what to do, a soul that was going into hell, being pulled by something...etc.Into the soul of hell?If Bi'er didn't 'die', how could she, a mortal, enter hell?

"Konstantin?! When you think of something, just say it!"

"You better shut up and let me think about it!" Hell hell hell!It's hell there!A place where demons exist, where dead sinful souls go!But a living person cannot go there without a reason!There must be something, something entangled in Bi'er's soul, something hidden behind everyone's sight and waiting for this moment!If all the clues obtained now are linked together, there is only one person who is the root of all this and the black hand behind everything! !

"Wake up, dear Miss Dawn."

A gentle voice sounded in Bi'er's ear, and the voice made her not even feel the coldness of hell: "Or can I call you, Bi'er?"

"You... who are you?" Bi'er seemed to have stepped out of some kind of fog. She found herself in a vast wilderness, and in front of her was a middle-aged gentleman in fine clothes. reaching out to himself--

"Oh, you know who I am, Bi'er. Of course you know..." The gentleman smiled when he heard Bi'er's question. He turned the cane in his hand and swung it on his palm, "But Since you asked, I have no choice but to introduce myself. I am Mephisto. At your service, dear lady."
