The high-speed collision between the two cars shattered each other's bodies.The damaged fuel tank oozed pungent fuel and flowed like yellow water at the rollover site.This is a very dangerous thing, and for these explosives, it often takes a little spark to trigger very extreme consequences.At the moment when the fire and oil came into contact, the beating flames spread rapidly, and in the eyes of the panicked screaming crowd and the running Merlin, the flames beat more and more intensely, like a lit flame, and under the impetus of a violent chemical reaction, the dangerous power finally spread out in an explosive attitude."
Boom" Two huge fireballs wrapped in black smoke rose in the ruins, and the eruption of high-temperature flames engulfed everything around them, and the power that quickly escaped during the explosion was like a shock wave, rolling in all directions, like an invisible fist, slamming into everything around it.Merlin, who rushed to the scene of the crash, felt his body being pushed into the air by an invisible force, and he heard the increasingly frightened screams from the crowd, the sound of glass breaking in the surrounding streets, and the security alarms of parked vehicles on the side of the road.Merlin could even see the frightened faces, the expressions, the flames of calamity rising in the air inch by inch.And the smell that you can't get used to, that smell of trepidation."
Bang" He was slammed to the ground, and the moment he collided with the earth, Merlin even had a feeling of suffocation.But he soon got up from the ground, and behind him, the frightened young man Phil had cold hands and feet, and he didn't know whether to pick up his brother first or rush to the fire to see if his father was still alive.He was terrified."
What are you doing in a daze?"
Merlin rubbed his aching chest, he breathed heavily, and shouted to Phil behind him, "Come with me!"
”"Oh."
Phil.
Coulson answered, and he followed Merlin up the frenzied crowd to the scene of the crash, which was burning after the explosion.It's miserable.The scene after the explosion was terrible, and as the two rushed into the scene with small flames, the first thing that caught their eye was the burning corpse of a woman who had been thrown to the ground, and the smell of the mixture, the pungent smell of fuel and burning, made the place look like hell.Phil only glanced at it, then turned his head with a pale face and began to retch.Merlin's face was ugly, and he tried not to look at the twisted corpses, and in the scorching heat of the flames on the burning bus in front of him, he took off his coat and flapped around the ruins of James' shattered pickup truck, trying to extinguish the flames.He kicked away the small shards with his foot, searching for his loved ones on the ground covered in blood and flesh.It's like a real madman.The nightmare came true.But Merlin had a strange sense of happiness in his heart that he shouldn't have.All of this is true, which means that the contract he signed with the demon is also true...
The demon had promised him that his father, James, would be "redeemed".At least, he won't die!"
It promised me."
Merlin reverberated this sentence in his heart, all those who believe in demons are crazy, but in this hell full of death, he has no choice but to believe.After the explosion, the broken pickup truck was overwhelmed, and after the explosion cooled down to the high temperature, the car began to disintegrate, and in Merlin's anxious search, he heard the sound of metal breaking behind him, and he turned around to see James lying in a pool of blood behind the twisted hood that smashed on the ground.His father was lying there.He's still alive!
In such a violent explosion, the toppled car body was extremely lucky to protect James who fell to the ground at the moment of the explosion, and the shattered car body bears most of the power of the explosion for him, but James is still affected, his clothes are burning, and he is bleeding a lot."
Phil!
Phil, come here!
”Merlin rushed to James's side, he yelled his brother's name, Phil, who was weakened by seeing a truly ugly death, turned his head and saw Merlin and his father at his feet, and the power of family affection exploded in a moment, overpowering the fear in Phil's heart.The young man hurried to Merlin's side, and he and Merlin lifted their father out of the pool of blood.The flames chased after them, but seeing Merlin and Phil's rescue, the men in the surrounding crowd also walked out quickly.They twist the fire hose on the side of the street, or simply take the bucket out of the shop next door.They helped Merlin and Phil extinguish the flames behind and in front of them, allowing the two young men to save their lucky father from the damn disaster."
Call an ambulance!"
Merlin lay the unconscious and dying James flat on the ground, pinched his neck behind him, his pulse still beating but extremely weak, Merlin was half-kneeling, ready to start CPR to keep his father's life at stake.Phil stood to the side, helpless, and shouted to a man next to him, who hurried into the café on the street and dialed the phone there.In fact, there was no need to call for help anymore, and within five minutes of James and a few other lucky people being rescued, a shrill siren sounded from all directions.Police cars, fire trucks and ambulances were parked at the scene of the crash, and several nurses rushed to Merlin and Phil on stretchers, who received first aid from Merlin, who was burned, blown up, and burned.
Coulson was sent a stretcher."
It's good that my father is still alive."
Phil was about to cry with excitement at this moment, but Merlin was not the slightest bit happy, he looked at James who was sent into the ambulance, he looked at his adoptive father, James escaped death, but he suffered terrible injuries, and it is unknown whether he can even wake up in the future.Merlin, a student about to enter medical school, worked in a private hospital for three years, and he had seen too many examples of this.Perhaps for James, the second half of his life was more painful than letting him die completely.Merlin, whose face was covered in black and gray, looked back at Phil, there was an unexplained anger in his black eyes, he took Phil's arm and took a few steps back, he said viciously, "Why don't you agree to that contract!"
If you say yes, James will survive this disaster in peace!
He only got half of the 'salvation'!
It's all because you refused!
”"What demon?
What the hell are you talking about?
”Faced with Merlin's sudden anger, Phil looked confused, Merlin gritted his teeth and said, "Last night's dream!
I had the same dream because I promised it so James could survive!
That's not a dream, that's real. ”"You're crazy!
Merlin!
”Phil's eyes widened, and the young man shook off Merlin's hand, and he screamed, "It's just a dream, there are no demons in this world!"
Be sober. ”"No, Mr.
Phil, there are demons in this world.Although you often confuse them with the devil, they do exist.As for you, Mr.
Merlin, I can understand your mood at this time, but please calm down, making a lot of noise will not solve the problem. ”While the two brothers were arguing, a gentle voice suddenly sounded behind them, and Merlin and Phil turned their heads at the same time to see a guy leaning against the door of the café, holding a steaming cup of coffee.He wore a black suit, an unfashionable blue cloak behind him, a gentleman's hat that covered most of his face, black gloves on his fingers, and three distinctive silver coin clasps in addition to his white shirt with a stand-up collar, which looked like a necklace made of silver coins.The thing didn't give a shimmer in the sunlight, it was dim as if it had absorbed all the light.This kind of weird dress, to be honest, makes people can't forget it when they see it.But at this time, there were so many people at the scene of the disaster, but none of them noticed the appearance of this mysterious person.Until he opened his mouth, not even Merlin and Phil, who were close at hand, noticed him."
It's you!"
Merlin recognized him, the mysterious man he had seen once when he was a baby, and again yesterday."
Yes, it's me."
The Phantom Stranger stretched out his left hand and snapped his fingers slightly, Phil's expression became glazed, as if he had lost the ability to think in an instant."
Mr.
Phil, go and accompany your father to the hospital, Mr.
James needs you very much, and your mother also needs support from you, as for your brother, don't worry, he wants to stay here and help others as much as possible.""
Go ahead!"
Phantom Stranger said to Phil like a command.The next moment, Phil, who woke up from a dream, turned around without hesitation, crossed the crowd, and rushed to the ambulance that was about to leave.Seeing Phil leave, the mysterious turned his head to look at Merlin with a guarded face, he stood up straight, turned sideways, made a "please" gesture, and then said to Merlin: "Long time no see, Mr.
Merlin."
Now it's just me and you. ”"I know you have a lot to ask, you have a lot of doubts, and even anger that has nowhere to vent.But believe me, what happened to your father has nothing to do with me, at least not directly. ”"If you'd like to know more, including how to dodge the upcoming demonic hunt, then please take a few minutes and talk to me."
The Phantom Stranger looked up, a smile on his cheek that was obscured by the brim, and he said in a magnetic voice, "Believe me, I'm here to help you." ”—————————————- because of the disaster on the street outside, the café on the street was empty.Even the chubby and kind boss ran out to help.In the window position, Merlin sat quietly.Across from him was a Phantom Stranger with coffee in hand and legs crossed.The two of them looked like friends they hadn't seen each other for many years, but from Merlin's expression, there was not the slightest excitement.On the contrary, there was a hint of undisguised disgust on his face.After experiencing the terrible things about James, Merlin is wary and resistant to these strange supernatural powers.Although he knew very well that perhaps it was because of the deal he made with the demon that James survived.Merlin and Phantom Stranger looked at each other, and the two remained calm until a minute later, when Phantom Stranger took a leisurely sip of coffee and said, "Time means nothing to me, Mr.

Merlin, but it is precious to you now.And if you want to get the answer, you have to ask the question first, and the right question corresponds to the right answer...""
Who the hell are you?"
Merlin pursed his chapped lips, his face was covered in black ash and scars from the rescue process, and he looked a little miserable.The Phantom Stranger waved his hand, and the coffee machine at the bar came into its own.A few seconds later, a cup of sweetened coffee was held by an invisible hand and landed firmly on the table in front of Merlin.Then he replied, "I, my name is Phantom Stranger, you can call me Judas, but of course I have to explain that I am not exactly the 'Judas' you know well." ”The Phantom Stranger looked up, his eyes shining inexplicably in the shadow cast by the brim of his hat, and he said to Merlin, "When you were a baby, the figure you saw was me.It was I who saved you from the fire. ”"What you saw yesterday was me...
I didn't try to scare you, I just wanted to remind you in that way that I hope you were ready, and now it seems that you are indeed ready. ”"What preparation?"
Merlin immediately asked rhetorically, and the Phantom Stranger shrugged his shoulders, and he said meaningfully: "Of course, it is a preparation to meet your true destiny, you don't really think that your life is to be a doctor in New York, marry a wife, and have a few children, right?"
I think after you had that weird thing when you were a kid, you'll understand...""
Merlin, you're different from everyone else!""
So, why me?"
Merlin's expression didn't change much, and he asked, "What is the 'difference' between me and everyone else?"
Is it just because of my soul, pure as the demon said?
”"Hahahaha" Merlin's question made the Phantom Stranger let out a series of long laughs, as if Merlin had asked a stupid question, the mysterious man took a sip of coffee, and he said to Merlin: "The strength of the third house is strong, but the vision is very ordinary, it can only see the purity of your soul, but it cannot see the truth hidden behind this purity.If it learns that truth, it will only run away from you, the farther away from you the better.But alas, it's already in the game. ”"You don't need to worry about the third house, at least not at the moment, it won't be a threat until you are really strong.""
As for what is 'different' about you, I don't think I need to answer this question.You just have to be brave and face your fate, and then sooner or later you will find out the truth. ”The mysterious man sipped his coffee and whispered, "I'm really looking forward to what kind of choices you'll make when you find out the truth." ”After saying this, the Phantom Stranger moved his shoulders, he stood up, his hands outstretched, the dark blue light wrapped around his ten fingers, he looked at Merlin with a wary face: "Okay, your question is finished, although you didn't ask the right one, but it's okay." ”"Let's get down to business!"
