9. Track the Devil Man(2/2)
"And, you have your own things to do, don't you?"
He looked at the time of the clock on the wall and said:
"Time is tight, so let's divide the troops into two groups."
After saying that, Merlin left the room. Ororo looked at Merlin's back as she left. She raised her head and looked at Hank, and she said:
"He seems to be angry? Why?"
"It's probably because of our favoritism towards Riven."
The beast Hank was a very keen man. He watched Merlin leave and whispered:
"Merlin is an agent, they are a group of people who distinguish enemies from friends very well."
"He found it difficult to understand the grudges and hatreds between mutants, especially the complex relationship between professors and McGonitt. After all, in the mutant system, the boundaries between friends and enemies are not so clear, which may make him feel a little uncomfortable."
On the other side, Meilin, who left the manor, stood in a messy lawn covered with metal wreckage. He turned around and looked at the manor behind him. He shook his head and whispered:
"What a group of people who are very emotional. They just beaten to death and want to cooperate to save people in a blink of an eye. What do they regard this as? Do they play house games?"
While complaining, he took out the pages of the Dark God's Book from his pocket, and he said to the page:
"Tell me where is Lorna?"
This time, the yellowed pages in his hand simply stopped reminding him, and skipped that part and gave the task.
"Catch the Red Devil Asazo and find a way to the border of hell from it."
"Why?"
Merlin asked:
"Why do you always let me do these weird things?"
Soon, a line of words appeared on the paper.
“Because ‘they’ want the story to be more exciting.”
"It's 'them' again?"
Merlin couldn't help but look up at the sky under the night, and he said:
"The person watching the gladiator? The audience in the theater? Or a group of observers?"
Merlin looked at the paper in his hand and said:
“‘They’, is the one who manipulates all this behind my back?”
This time, the parchment was "silenced" for a few seconds, and then a clear answer emerged:
"No!'They' are not"
"What about you?"
Merlin said:
"Are you the messenger of 'they'?"
A reply that Merlin wanted to tear it off soon emerged on the parchment.
"you guess?"
Merlin's eyes twitched, he took a deep breath and said:
"Okay, I'll take on this task. Give me a message!"
"Swish"
A clear line of addresses soon appeared in front of Merlin, a street in Detroit, and even the house number and specific basement number were clearly marked.
Merlin pulled out the silver sword Vlad with his backhand, took out the demonic oil, and applied it to the blade.
He held a bottle of flaming holy water in his other hand. The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. With a certain address, the shapeshifting spell could lead him into the Red Devil's hiding place.
"Sprees! Mazefakel!"
Accompanied by a slightly frivolous greeting, Merlin's figure jumped into the Red Devil's hiding place.
In the slightly dim basement, the weird mutant who was wearing a black suit, red skin, a demon's inverted triangle tail and a small black horn, had only time to turn around, but a bottle of scorching holy water poured over him.
The red devil Asazo's face, which was covered with strange talismans, was still a little astonishment, but it reacted very quickly. The moment before the holy water was added, its figure disappeared from the spot in the flash of red.
And the little girl Lorna, who was tied to a chair and looked fearful, saw Merlin jump out, and a surprise suddenly appeared on her face.
"elder brother!"
A crisp, full of surprise shout also rang in the basement. It seemed that Qin's treatment was useful, and the child has recovered from aphasia.
"Swish"
The red devil appeared behind Lorna like a ghost. At this moment, the sharp blade in Merlin's hand also roared at the red devil that appeared. The latter grabbed Lorna's shoulder with one hand and waved it with the other. As the strong smell of sulfur exploded, several small evil devils howled and rushed out of the red light and rushed towards Merlin.
"Crash"
The sharp silver sword flashed several arcs in the air, killing the little evil demons who rushed in the air in less than a second, but Lorna and the Red Devil disappeared in the basement again.
"Bang"
Meilin kicked the chair in front of him with a little annoyance, but it felt bad that he was missing.
But the Red Devil's space jump that ignores distance is almost instantaneous and does not need to pause is really tricky. It is difficult to catch it again by relying solely on the shapeshift spell.
After all, although the casting of the shape-shifting spell is short, it still takes time, which is completely incomparable to the instant movement brought by the talent of the Red Devil.
"I have to think of a solution."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief and tried to calm himself down. His mind changed rapidly, and after a moment, he took a look.
Merlin took out his cell phone and dialed an unfamiliar number while checking the things left by the Red Devil in the basement.
A few seconds later, the phone was connected. A familiar, low voice rang out in the phone.
"Hello?"
