"Two bottles of water, a bag of bread.Thank you. ”New York, Hell's Kitchen, late afternoon.Wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, Merlin in a trench coat puts his hands in his trouser pockets.In the small shops on the side of the street, Merlin only had to turn his head to see the homeless people huddled in the corners of the bustling streets.Less than 10 meters away from the homeless people, the costumed fireflies are beckoning customers.The glow of the lights casts a seemingly prosperous veneer over New York's most chaotic neighborhood, but Merlin wouldn't be surprised if a few masked and pistol-armed robbers rushed out of the alleys now.It's Hell's Kitchen that puts all New Yorkers off, and violence and darkness are synonymous with it.He has been living here for almost 5 months and he has become accustomed to the dangers that can arise around him at any time.Gangsters grabbing turf, or brawls with gangsters, or drugged drag racing maniacs, you name it all.Oh, and by the way, there are more than 7 paranormal survivors like him in this neighborhood alone.With the power they get from demons or other weird things, they've run rampant in this chaotic neighborhood, and they've mixed quite well.But they still didn't find Merlin, on the one hand, because Merlin hid himself well, and on the other hand, because the power of the Three Palace Demons, even if it was just a remnant, was much stronger than those little ghosts or low-level demons who couldn't get on the stage.Merlin secretly searched for the "compatriots" Mephistopheles said in this city, the real "sons" of the Three Palace Demons, and he spent 5 months locking up more than a dozen suspects near Manhattan, but he did not act.He hadn't made up his mind to kill, or rather, he hadn't intended to do so in the first place.Just a little bit of residual power has already made Merlin worse than dead for a while, not to mention a little more power...
Merlin was self-aware, and he didn't think he could continue to maintain his sanity under such a force.He didn't want to slip into the darkness again."
Your stuff, take it."
The clerk filled Merlin with water and food in a plastic bag, and Merlin paid for it and carried the bag in his hand.He walked out of the store and turned towards the house where he lived, and after walking out of the alley, Merlin's ears moved, and he clearly felt that in the darkness behind him, there were several bad intentions.This kind of tailgating and robbery scene has made Merlin a little tired, but this is the daily life of Hell's Kitchen."
It's really time for me to move out, this place is really not suitable for long."
As he spoke, Merlin reached out and tugged at his baseball cap, took a few quick steps forward, and turned into another alley.The thugs who followed him hurriedly quickened their pace, but when they rushed into the alley, there was no one in front of them, and what was even more strange was that the front of the alley was tightly blocked, and there was no second exit."
Where's that garbage guy?"
Led by a sturdy black man with messy tattoos on his arms, he searched left and right, the alley was only a few meters wide, and there was no one hiding around, not to mention, they saw Merlin walk in with their own eyes."
Maybe, maybe we're dazzled?"
The tall, lanky man grabbed his hair, set the baseball bat aside, and grabbed a lighter to light a cigarette.But the next moment, the baseball bat he had placed next to him disappeared strangely."
Dazzling?
Are you pumping high?
”The black strong man scolded: "One dazzled is okay, is it possible that several people are dazzled together?"
”The tall, thin man who was scolded shrugged his shoulders, and several strangely dressed guys around him were still giggling and gloating.These men don't look like professional looters, and they don't even have a single firearm to protect them, proving that these guys are low-grade thugs, even in Hell's Kitchen.After completely losing Merlin's trace, the bastards cursed and prepared to leave, but the moment the black man turned around, a round baseball bat flashed out of the darkness and slammed into the back of his head.The guy didn't say a word, he just lay on the ground in a splash of blood, blood flowing on his clothes, as if he were dead...
This strange movement completely frightened the four people around him, and the tall, thin man who was the least daring turned his head and ran, but the blood-stained baseball bat flew out of front of his eyes and smashed into his chest.Merlin in the Cloak of Shadows was so hard that the tall, lanky man flew backwards from the blow, and he howled and fell to the ground, rolling in pain.This guy was a little luckier than his boss, but he also probably broke a few ribs.The remaining three people were completely stunned, they felt as if there was a ghost with hot hands wandering in this alley, the fear of not seeing anyone, only being beaten, so that the remaining three people did not dare to move.Merlin sneered in the darkness, and with a flick of his left hand, the blood-stained baseball bat was thrown to the ground.The sound of "bang" startled the three of them, and they almost involuntarily pulled their legs and ran.They're smart, they're running in three directions separately.The guy closest to Merlin had just started when he tripped over Merlin's outstretched leg, and the whole person fell forward, slamming his face on the ground.Merlin, beside him, lifted his left foot and kicked it in the ugly face."
Bang" The guy covered his nose and wailed, but his scream was so ugly that he was kicked between his legs again, and he couldn't scream at all.Merlin still maintained his shadow cloak, and he unhurriedly picked up a small folding knife from the ground and flicked it in his hand.Then little by little he approached the bastard who was panicked and ran into the alley.That guy was stupefied.In front of him was an exitless alley, empty behind him, but he knew that the terrible ghost was there...
He didn't dare to go over, he could only stick to the wall of the alley like a frightened little girl, gasping for breath and even praying.But, it didn't work.The guy's eyes widened, and any movement would make him nervously turn his head to look, and the cold sweat of the bean was running down his face, and he didn't even dare to wipe it.That scene just now was too terrifying."
Hmm" just when this guy just caught his breath, in front of his eyes, the garbage guy with a baseball cap and sunglasses, wearing a trench coat, carrying water and food, suddenly appeared, like a ghost.He was standing just 2 meters away from him!"
Ah!!
hA woman-like scream rang out, and the guy's legs trembled with fright, and a foul smell came from beneath him.Merlin covered her nose in disgust and took a step back.This guy was so scared that he was incontinent."
With this little guts, dare to learn to come out and rob?"
He deliberately sneered in a thick voice, then moved his wrist, and the sharp folding knife grazed the thug's face and stabbed into the wall behind him, causing the creature to fall to his knees."
Be a good person in the future, you know?"
Merlin threw down a word, then turned and stepped into the shadows, disappearing like a ghost before the creature's eyes once more.The poor creature knelt there, and he did not dare to move, but looked up, and at the end of the alley, beside the boss who was fighting in the street, the ghostly creature appeared again in the light.He left the poor creature with an indifferent back.With one hand in his pocket and the other with water and food, he walked into the darkness and disappeared into the end of the street.It wasn't until Merlin had completely disappeared that it took the poor creature ten minutes to barely get up from the ground, and he leaned against the wall and walked step by step to the boss who was fighting on the street, looking at the pool of blood under the boss, his body trembled again.He suddenly felt...
The job of a thug is so unpromising that he should probably go back to his supermarket and help his father run it.It's a little less freedom, but at least, at least it won't happen again.———————————————————— "pop" Merlin threw the drained water bottle into the trash, and he stood on the remote bank of the Hudson River, with a field of trees behind him, and it was a very quiet place.In the night, Merlin looked out at the cold glow of the river in front of him.He pinched his forehead with his fingers, and his body flowed with a sense of exertional pleasure after venting violence, but his eyes were full of exhaustion from the suppression of his thoughts."
After bad luck, is it violence?""
Are you starting to influence me in another way?"
He looked at his other hand, and there was still a trace of blood on his finger that had not been wiped clean.Just now, Merlin used the shadow cloak he regarded as a "useless thing" to easily kill 4 men in that alley, and if he attacked a little harder, a little faster, the 5th would definitely not be able to escape.What is this?
This is just the most insignificant remnant of the dark power of the Three Palace Demons!
But it gives Merlin an overwhelming advantage in the face of ordinary people, what if there is more strength?
What if Merlin could truly master that ability to incarnate the winds of darkness?
Wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted in front of weak ordinary people?
The idea was terrifying, like a dark key swinging in front of Merlin's eyes, and it seemed that as long as he reached out and held it, he would soon become a god in the eyes of ordinary people...
Seriously, Merlin was a little shaken at this moment.Who in this world can resist the temptation to use violence, erase all troubles, and get rid of them once and for all?
Just as Merlin's mind was swaying, a loud bang sounded from the woods behind him, and in Merlin's dark perception, he clearly heard the sound of the wheels rubbing violently, and the woman's faint cry for help.This interrupted Merlin's thoughts, and he turned around and ran in the direction of the woods.Someone is injured and he can even smell blood, which means that someone needs help.Merlin rushed into the woods, and he saw a very luxurious car crashing into a tree trunk on the side of the road, the front cover of the car was turned up, and dangerous sparks were beating.And in that carriage, a group of couples were struggling, it was an old couple, and they were bleeding."
Don't move, I'll help you."
Merlin rushed to the side of the car, pulled the car door with difficulty, and wanted to pick up the old man whose head was hit on the steering wheel, but the gray-haired old man was struggling, he held Merlin's hand with one hand, and he didn't know where the old man got so much strength, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go, go and save her!"
Save me...
Wife!
”"In the trunk, there's something...
Take it, take her, run!
They...
They're coming. ”"Huh?"
Merlin's eyes widened, and the old man's words gave him a sense of foreboding, and he dragged the old man out of the carriage and placed him on the ground.He rushed to the other side and picked up the dying old lady out of the carriage.He did as the old man had asked, and opened the trunk of the car, where there was a gray metal suitcase, and Merlin had just taken the trunk out of it when he heard the hum of a motorcycle coming from behind.He subconsciously looked back, the lights of the motorcycle were shining extremely brightly, and he could only vaguely see a man in a black military uniform with long hair scattered sitting on the motorcycle, holding the handlebar in one hand and a dangerous thing in the other.That's one, military rifle!
At this moment, Merlin had a premonition of extreme threat, even the same crazy perception he had when he heard the demon bell in Chicago.Dangerous!

Dangerous!
He subconsciously opened the shadow cloak, and the whole person fell to the side, and then he heard the sound of gunfire like bursting beans, and the bullets hit the trunk above Merlin's head, splashing hot sparks, like thunder in the dark night.In the dead silence, it suddenly burst!
