Chapter 21 Disgust

Although he discovered the clues, Kewen did not take action immediately.

After waiting quietly for a moment, when Angela finished praying, Ke Wen asked: "There is some breath left in his body. I need to take that breath out, but that will speed up the decay of his body."

"Soon?" Angela asked.

"It should be within two days." Ke Wen replied.

Hearing this, Angela nodded: "It doesn't matter, Thain will be buried tomorrow."

"That's good."

As he said that, Kewen stretched out his hand and grabbed Thain's chest from a distance.

A black and red aura emerged from Thain's body and automatically gathered in Kewen's hand.

Angela, whose talent was recovering, saw the breath and couldn't help but ask: "What is that?"

"The murderer's lingering breath of hell remained in his heart."

Ke Wen looked at the breath in his hand and said, "We can use this breath to find the murderer."

Angela immediately asked: "Then what should we do next?"

Ke Wen thought for a moment and looked left and right.

Not sensing anyone else nearby, he raised his hand to cast a spell.

Holding the seal with both hands and swinging it a few times, a small magic circle quickly appeared in front of him.

Then Kewen put the breath into the magic circle and activated the magic circle.

Buzz——

A slight trembling sound sounded, and a blue transmission channel opened instantly.

However, the portal had just opened halfway, but it quickly closed as if it was powerless.

Ke Wen was slightly startled.

"What's wrong?"

Angela noticed Ke Wen's expression, so she asked in confusion: "Have you found the murderer?"

"Unfortunately, no."

Kewen shook his head when he came back to his senses. He explained: "The tracking channel just now seemed to be linked to hell, but the hell dimension of this world is very special, and I haven't figured out the mechanism to cross dimensions yet."

"If the connection is made through violence, the agreement between heaven and hell may be broken, leading to some kind of disaster."

There were too many extraordinary information elements, causing Angela to ignore the phrase 'this world' in Kewen's words.

She couldn't help but ask again: "What should we do?"

"Let's follow the normal investigation procedures."

Ke Wen replied: "The murderer has obviously returned to hell. We can't go to hell to catch it back. We can only investigate how it came to the world first and see if there is any story behind it."

"Sorry Kewen." Angela said apologetically: "I can only trouble you all."

"It doesn't matter."

Ke Wen smiled and said: "We are friends, aren't we?"

Angela smiled gratefully.

"Let's go."

Ke Wen greeted: "Let's go to the midnight bar."

"Midnight bar?"

Angela said while following Ke Wen's footsteps: "I seem to have heard John mention that bar, but I only heard the name. I don't know anything about it."

"I know where the bar is." Coven, who was walking in front, said, "Near Huntington Park."

"OK."

Angela quickened her pace and walked out of the church with Ke Wen.

After driving for nearly an hour, Angela parked the car on the side of a street according to Ke Wen's guidance.

Ke Wen took Angela into a small building and followed the stairs to the basement.

At the end of the stairs is a darkroom, like the kind of dark red cabin used to develop photos.

Under the dim red light, a very large doorman stood up from his chair.

Without saying a word, the doorman picked up a stack of cards from the side, stared at Coven and Angela, pulled out a card from the card, and showed the back in front of them.

"This is..." Angela was at a loss.

"Entry qualifications."

Coven explained: "Use your sixth sense to perceive the card. What is the first thought that comes to your mind?"

"Wearing a princess dress..." Angela said hesitantly: "And a rabbit holding an umbrella?"

Hearing this, the guard put down the card and reached out to untie the chain that blocked people from entering, indicating that Angela could go in.

This made Angela even more confused.

Ke Wen reminded with a smile: "Go in, you guessed it right, so you are qualified to enter."

Angela was surprised, nodded slowly and hesitantly, and stepped over the door fence.

The guard pulled out another card and placed it in front of Ke Wen.

Kewen looked blank for a moment, then said speechlessly: "Two cartoon dogs mating."

The guard put down the card again without saying a word and opened the door chain.

Ke Wen shook his head and walked in, and met Angela who was waiting.

Next, the two walked through a long corridor and entered a hall whose main color was still dark red.

Perhaps because it was daytime, there were not many customers in the bar lobby. There were only a few sparse extraordinary customers, each sitting in a different booth and drinking quietly.

Ke Wen and Angela attracted all the attention, and everyone in the hall turned their heads to look over.

This made Angela's hair stand on end for a moment.

She felt that those people's gazes filled her with pressure, and the gaze from the farthest corner almost made Angela unable to breathe.

At this moment, a palm suddenly fell on her shoulder.

Angela came back to her senses with a jolt, and immediately started breathing heavily.

Ke Wen glanced at the booth in the corner, then took Angela's hand and led her further inside.

Entering a corridor again, Angela, who felt her sight disappear, asked in a panic: "What's wrong with me?"

"fine."

Ke Wen comforted him: "That's a high-ranking blood demon. What you feel is the coercion of its malicious eyes."

"Blood Demon, devil?!" Angela couldn't believe it, she whispered: "You mean, there was a devil in the hall just now?! Why?!"

"Because this bar is a neutral zone in the otherworld."

Coven explained: "As long as you abide by the rules, all extraordinary creatures are welcome here, whether they are wizards or angels, even demons and demons can come here."

"God..." Angela exclaimed.

"Let's go."

Coven let go of Angela's hand and greeted: "The owner of this bar is in the front room."

Angela nodded reluctantly and followed Kewen a few steps to the door.

Ke Wen opened the soundproof door and pushed open another soundproof door inside.

It's still a red room, but it's slightly brighter than the hall outside.

At this time, the black man Minai was sitting behind the boss's desk smoking a cigarette, still looking pretentious, wearing a dark red gentleman's hat even in his office.

The sound of the door made Minai raise her head. The first moment she saw Ke Wen, Minai's eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly.

"Rare guest..."

Minai said in a deep voice with a complex tone: "Kevin Quinn, what are you doing here?"

Ke Wen took Angela into the office.

He didn't answer, but just stared at Minai expressionlessly.

After a brief silence, the black man Minai gritted his teeth and stood up, putting away his condescending attitude.

Ke Wen then said: "Three days ago, a policeman on patrol was harmed by hellish creatures. Do you have relevant information here?"

Hearing this, Minai shook his head slightly with a look of confusion, and replied: "I am just an intermediary who runs a neutral bar. I don't care about external affairs."

"Give you a chance to reorganize your language." Ke Wen threatened in a low voice.

This made Black Minay extremely angry.

But thinking of the last disastrous defeat at the hands of Covin who had no resistance, the black man Minai could only suppress his anger.

He took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice: "After nine o'clock in the evening! You will find people outside who specialize in selling information!"

Ke Wen looked at the other party's eyes that were hiding anger, then nodded slightly, then without saying anything, he turned around and left the office with Angela.

Bang! Crash--

In the corridor, Kewen's powerful hearing allowed him to hear the sound of smashing in the office through two layers of 'soundproof doors'.

He didn't take it to heart, took Angela's hand, and led her through the hall and out of the bar.

After returning to the car, Angela finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She clutched her chest to calm down her emotions, and after a while she asked: "Is your relationship with that boss not good?"

"Well, I took care of him." Ke Wen nodded in response.

"Why?" Angela then asked: "What caused the conflict?"

"It's just my unilateral dislike of him."

Coven explained: "His name is Minai. He is a voodoo sorcerer from the Mediterranean region who has lived for more than two centuries."

"He once cut off his sister's head with his own hands in order to survive, and later used her sister's skull for channeling, communicating with the devils in the world to use various witchcraft, or communicating with the devils in hell to obtain various intelligence."

"After his sister's soul left and the skull lost its psychic function, he collected more skulls with souls trapped in them, and collectively called them his sisters, and continued to collect various intelligence for him to gain benefits."

"It wasn't until twenty years ago that he met the fledgling Constantine, and he began to converge since then."

Ke Wen shook his head: "Later, he provoked the demons in hell and were chased by the demons to the world for revenge. He eliminated those demons with difficulty, but was afraid of being chased by more powerful demons, so he swore a neutrality oath.

"

With a look of disdain on his face, Ke Wen continued: "He hid the true situation and only said that he was tired of the endless war with the devil, so he signed a neutrality contract with the devil."

"Until now, the aura around him that people call a legend is actually just a complete lie."

"You've been pretending all day, and you've been pretending for so long. Do you really think you're a retired hero who's tired of the war?"

After finishing the story, Kewen shook his head in disdain again.

Angela, on the other hand, was stunned.

After coming back to her senses, she said with emotion: "I thought he was a great person who could run such a bar. It turns out that the truth is so dark..."

Ke Wen shrugged. Dark is right. After all, this is the DC universe. Unlike the sandy wind in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, darkness is the mainstream color here...
