Recently, there has been a small rumor among the creatures who are begging for a living in the wasteland.It is said that a vicious creature has appeared in the wasteland, and it is very powerful, very cunning, and very fierce.Several of the famous gangs in the wasteland have collapsed because of their appearance.It has created a horrific massacre on the docks of the River of Wrath.The Horned Demon Gang who controlled the docks of the River Styx were slaughtered almost overnight, and even their souls were pulled out and thrown into the River Styx.In the southeastern part of the wasteland, the Screaming Demon Canyon that made others talk about it have also been magically bombarded, burying thousands of Screaming Demons under the ruins of the canyon.It is said that the ruins were also magically strengthened and turned into a sealed coffin.The poor worms buried under the rubble will come back to life.But they will have to live underground in the future.In the last few days, the mysterious fierce god has wandered to this side of the River of Grievances, and the gang strongholds along the way have been slaughtered.But this time, it didn't take their souls again.So the demons who escaped death spread the damn news all over the area, making all the demons and other dead people living here panic.Everyone gathered in the tavern, day and night, discussing countermeasures and plans.Someone proposed to unite and work together against the evil god.But there are also people who advocate that everyone leave this place and go somewhere else.Anyway, in this wasteland where there will never be relief, it is the same to ask for a living anywhere.Their discussions were in full swing.This is not a good thing for the demons, whose chaotic brains cannot control any emotions well.So after a few demons quarreled, the chaos quickly turned into a big scuffle.Everyone in the entire tavern was caught up in it.Hellfire, razor-sharp bony weapons, and all sorts of damned, eerie magic thundered around the tavern.The smell of blood, the wails of death, and the roar of rage made the tavern even more lively.No one stopped.The chaos was spreading, like a lit bonfire.The flames of the battle burned in this large tavern built of stone and magic."
Bang", a white bone axe that flew over in the scuffle was slapped away by Merlin, who was sitting at the bar.Hellfire was attached to the sharp thing.Between the whistling and flying, it slashed into the eyes of a succubus lady who had just risen from the ground and was still a little dizzy.The coquettish young lady rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.A flying axe chopped her head.It's really a disaster.She'll have to wait another 14 hours before she comes back to life...
It's miserable.Merlin, who had done a sinister massacre, was like he was fine.He didn't even look at the corpse behind him, he picked up his wine glass made from the horns of the seducing demons, and while sipping the spicy wine, he said, "I don't have any hope in this ghost place, but I didn't expect to meet old acquaintances here." ”"I'm not surprised."
John.
Constantine.The supernumerary agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., who died at the hands of Sannomiya almost ten years ago, called himself a detective from hell, but the guy who everyone called Zakang wiped the wine glass in his hand and said with full malice: "I knew you were going to hell, Merlin." ”"But I didn't expect you to be thrown into this hellish place...
Tsk, it's miserable, allow me to make a sad face. ”As he spoke, a big smile appeared on the guy's oily face.He's just like Merlin.In this strange hell called the "wasteland", the state of the spirit is maintained.He was also wearing a garment, which was cut in a unique way and made to resemble the uniform of a bartender on Earth as much as possible.But it can be seen that this imitation is very clumsy.Merlin took a sip of wine, he glanced at the gloating Zakang in front of him, and he said, "What are you laughing at?"
Aren't you here too?
”"I'm used to it, Merlin, old friend."
He threw aside the clean cup in his hand and leaned on the bar, admiring the chaos in his bar.He admired the cannibalism of the demons and the dead souls, and said to Merlin slowly, "After more than 10 years here, I'm used to it, but it's not bad here. ”"No one really dies, everyone enjoys life as they want, slaughters, or is slaughtered.""
If you survive a fight, you're crazy about mating with those succubi who are in heat 24 hours a day...""
There are no constraints, no rules, freedom, this is the real place of freedom...""
I would even like to carve a Statue of Liberty here!"
Zakang grumbled, pulling open the drawer of the stone bar and taking out two cigar-like sticks from it.He quickly dodged a smashed bloodied chair, then threw one to Merlin.He said: "As long as you abandon the final bottom line, you can live well here, come one?"
”"What is this?"
Merlin looked at the suspicious cigar in his hand, and said to Zakon, "I've made my way through this wasteland, but I haven't seen anything resembling tobacco...
There are no plants here. ”"Why do you care so much?"
Zakang rolled his eyes, and he said, "You're all dead, you're going to hell, and more vicious things can't kill you again." ”"Besides, you've started drinking wine made from the blood of snakes and demons, and what kind of civilized people are you pretending to be?""
Look at your clothes, tsk, so many familiar leathers and 'decorations', it seems that you have not had a smooth journey, Merlin.""
That's right."
Merlin smiled, waving his hand behind him, the gathered mana whirling and clasping onto the head of a downed fire demon.With a crisp crack of bone, the fire demon's skull was grabbed and thrown on the bar.Merlin took the cigar in his mouth, close to the burning skull.A smell very similar to tobacco rises.Merlin exhaled a puff of smoke, and he said to Zakang, who was also swallowing clouds, "How did you do that?"
”"Huh?"
He glanced at Merlin in surprise, and when he saw Merlin's gaze fall on the decoration of his bar, he smiled smugly and flicked the cigarette ash that was dripping like blood.He pointed to his head, and he said, "I rely on this thing." ”"You also know that chaos and order are relative states."
With a strong puff of smoke, he said, "After the chaos of a place reaches the limit, the flame of order will appear. ”"Especially in this place, when you are in a ghost place where no one dies, no matter how crazy you are, you will never have to worry about your life, but you can never get out, the existence of order is imperative."
In a philosopher-like tone, Zakang tells Merlin the story of his own aftermath in the wasteland."
This place had existed for countless years before I came, and this place was ostensibly a place of disorder.""
Walking on the road without provoking others can be killed by a demon rushing out, and the reason why it is killed may be just because it is not in a good mood, or because you are walking too loudly.""
But beyond this cloaks of chaos, this is actually a place of rules.""
Oh?"
Merlin scoffed, it seemed that he didn't agree with Zakang's statement.But Zakang didn't care.He said, "Just as the Horned Demon Gang never crosses the Raging River to keep the Oath River, the Screaming Demon only stays in his own valley. ”"Everybody's just messing around on their own turf...
No one wants the whole wasteland to be in chaos, and that means the current system is broken. ”"Souls in high positions in any system don't want their position to be challenged, so it's a little bit of a fight, a little friction, and then a negotiation to maintain the status quo."
Zakang shrugged, and he winked at Merlin: "Isn't this set familiar?"
”"That's what the gangs in Brooklyn do, and when you stay here long enough, you'll see that it's no different from the rest of the world.""
Oh, maybe there's a difference."
Zakang blinked, "It's more naked than the human world, and the demons won't hide their malice, but for those who can move between the various gangs and bring them enough to enjoy...""
Naturally, they'll be more polite.""
This is the only place within a radius of thousands of kilometers where they can rest and have a drink after a frantic battle, and the succubi also need a place to seduce those energetic bastards.""
If they smash this place, then their lives will be like real beasts."
Zakang pointed to his head, and he gave a strange smile, "Demons may be stupid, but trust me, they are wise. ”"Bang" Merlin nodded, and he grabbed the burning firefiend's skull in front of him, which had been used as an ashtray, and smashed it like a war hammer on the head of the berserker who was trying to sneak up on him.The massive magic carried by the skull bombarded the berserker's head, like an icy wind, blowing away its soul."
Smack" There is another corpse in the chaotic bar."
You go on."
Merlin, who had just opened his head, turned around, and he continued to drink and smoke with taste.He said, "Let me hear about your fortune again." ”"Okay."
The corners of his eyes twitched as he watched the magic pulseing on Merlin's fingers.He's been in this ghost place for more than ten years, and he's never seen a spirit with so much magic on it.
The magic had already made substantial waves on Merlin's fingers.Every moment affects the space around Merlin.How strong is he now?
But the next moment, a touch of joy rose in Zakang's dark heart.Regardless of his relationship with Merlin during his lifetime, now both of them are dead, both left on this hopeless wasteland.No matter how much Merlin hates him, he must be closer to Merlin than those demons.I'm going to have a new backer...
A flash of light erupted in Zakang's mind like a storm.He seems to have seen a future where he and Merlin will join forces to take over a large piece of territory in the wasteland and become king.This made his tone a little more flattering, and he said to Merlin: "What about this place, I can't get out, I have spent years gathering information from the leaders of those local 'gangs'. ”"A fire demon who has been locked up here for almost 100,000 years told me that since this hell was established, not a soul has escaped at all.""

That hell gate built beneath the Doomsday Volcano, ha, I know, you're here for it, right?"
Zakon lowered his voice and said to Merlin, "It's just an apparition to fool the fools who yearn for liberation, it's a bad joke left by the creator of this place...
You're doing something dangerous, my friend Merlin. ”"Huh?"
Merlin looked up at Zakkang, and he asked with a smile, "What is the danger?"
How did I not know?
”"Hope!"
Staring into Merlin's eyes, he said, "Hopefully, listen to me, I've been here long enough to understand that keeping hope in hell is the most dangerous thing to do." ”"You're chasing an illusion, and when hope collapses, so will you...""
You're a ghost now, and you know what a crash means to you, right?""
I know."
Merlin drank the last bit of wine from the Enchanted Wine Glass, and he spewed a white smoke from his mouth.He stared at the glowing ember lights on the roof of the bar, and he whispered, "I know exactly what I'm doing, and I know exactly what you're thinking. ”"Don't think that I can't see through your desperate heart if you pretend to enjoy it, Konstantin.""
Don't think that just by saying this bullshit, you can hide what you really think."
Merlin lowered his head, he looked at Zakang, and he said in a low tone, "You still think of yourself as a human being, not like these bastard scum; You're still trying to make your life better, even in the worst of hell. ”"Admit it, you haven't thrown in the towel...""
After ten years in hell, you still want to go back, to a world where no one likes you."
Merlin threw the glass in his hand into a pool of blood on the ground.He looked back at the demons behind him who were still fighting wildly, the screamers who had been ignited.The next moment, a trace of murderous intent flashed on Merlin's face, and he roared, "Get out!"
”Terrifying magic erupted from Merlin's ghostly body, condensing into substantial spiritual spikes.Like a rolling wave of rage crashed down on those mad demons.The sound wave like a banshee's wail tore at their souls, waking up even the most fanatical warriors in battle.They screamed and rushed to the door of the bar.Stepping on the blood and scattering, even the most powerful fire demon gathered up his flames and ran out without looking back.After more than ten seconds, the corpse-strewn bar fell silent.Merlin turned, leaning back in a chair made of bone, crossed his legs, and took the unburned "cigar" cigarette in his mouth.He puffed out a puff of smoke and placed one hand on the bar, the other playing with the bloodstained, extinguished skull.In the dim light of the ember lamp, a smile appeared on his ghostly blue cheeks."
I'm leaving this...
I don't belong here. ”"You don't belong here, Zakang, for the sake of the past, I can take you away with me.""
If you have to help me."
Zakang's expression changed.He looked at Merlin and he said, "What if I say 'no'?"
What if I say I really like this place?
”"Hmm—" Merlin chuckled, and he lowered his head and straightened his "cool" clothes.He said, "Then you are useless to me..."
