Sentinel

Chapter 177 Dealing with the Devil

The huge living room fell into a quiet and eerie atmosphere. Minty poked his head out of the bedroom, and immediately shrank back, with a serious expression on his small face. He held one hand on his chest, and the other seemed to be holding a Like a pipe, the small mouth whimpers from time to time.

"The big thing is not good..." Mindy, who was completely immersed in the small theater in her heart, regarded herself as Sherlock Holmes, smoking a pipe that didn't exist.

Little Loli didn't expect her new friend to make such a request to Sean directly, and Gali doesn't look like a passionate person...

Pushing open the door quietly, poking out his little head to continue to observe the situation, Xiao En was obviously stunned for a moment, looking at the girl's sincere and clear eyes, he was a little at a loss, is the social atmosphere so open now?

"You smell good." The girl emphasized again, her eyes sparkled, as if she had seen some dazzling treasure, "It's in line with what father said about a spouse."

Sean rubbed his forehead helplessly. What kind of family education could make a girl with such an almost ignorant and cute personality?Didn't her father say that as a girl, at least she should keep a little bit of reserve?

The fingers touching the girl's forehead trembled suddenly, and the energy in his body seemed to surge towards the girl uncontrollably. In his invisible thoughts, Xiao En suddenly felt the unusual and terrifying aura on the girl's body, the kind of life-robbing aura. , the instinct to devour matter, in the spiritual world is like a small black hole, absorbing everything silently.

This is a life in the universe beyond human beings. Sean can deeply feel how powerful the power is surging under the girl's slender and slender body, like a silent volcano that has not completely erupted.

I didn't notice it before, maybe the girl has controlled the biological instinct, so she deceived her own perception...

Xiao En had a vague guess in his heart. Thinking of what Minty said, this girl who ran away from home may have a very complicated background. Could it be that before facing the overlord of the universe who came from across the galaxy, he had to meet a let The terrifying existence of discoloration that the major civilizations talk about?
Although the ancient life known as the "Planet Devourer" is not powerful enough compared to another cosmic overlord, the devouring instinct that always regards the planet as food is undoubtedly more powerful. for fear.

This universe-level powerful existence, originally named Galatus, was born in one of the most advanced civilizations in the universe. He is the last survivor of planet Taa. A violent and huge explosion released deadly radiation, which came suddenly The terrible disaster killed all life on the planet, only he survived, and his body was full of powerful energy, which also made him extremely hungry. As the strength continued to increase, the incomparable The real hunger is also stronger.

In order to maintain his life, he can only continuously absorb a huge amount of energy. During the endless years, Galatus gradually forgot his name. Due to the explosive growth of his power level, the time interval between his energy intake is getting shorter and shorter. Shorter, he used to devour uninhabited planets, but later, he successfully overcame his sympathy for civilization and life, and believed that he was a higher-level existence, so he chose to destroy the planet to continue his life.

As a result, the former Galatus has become a dreaded terminator of civilization, a terrifying existence dubbed the "Planet Devourer".

"Where is your father?" Sean asked softly.

No wonder the girl's body exudes energy fluctuations like a black hole. As a descendant of the most powerful devourer in the universe, she has indeed inherited her father's powerful power.

"It's a very far away place, I ran out secretly." The girl chuckled softly, obviously thinking that she had done something great.

A rebellious girl who ran away from home?What a mess!

Sean couldn't help being speechless, he let go of the energy in his body, his fingertips shone with golden light, and the moment he touched the girl's skin, he was instantly swallowed up.

Gali's face was flushed, she seemed to be intoxicated by this wonderful feeling, she licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, and said softly: "A little more, just a little..."

Minty in the bedroom has a serious face. She is thinking about whether to go out and stop her good friend from falling into Sean's clutches. Oh, no, Sean seems to be more dangerous now.

The feeding process lasted about 10 minutes. Sean let out a breath and retracted his fingers. Seeing the girl who was still a little dissatisfied, an inappropriate sentence appeared in his mind.

"Sure enough, there are only exhausted cows..."

Jiali looked at the young man with even more sparkling eyes. She never thought that on such a remote planet, she could find a creature that meets the requirements of a spouse.

"Don't worry, I will be very restrained." The girl twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and after slightly reducing her hunger, she returned to a normal state.

Sean looked into the other party's shining eyes, and a strange thought flashed in his heart, would that Galactus smash his dog's head off after learning that his daughter was abducted by a man he had known for less than two hours?
…………

Hell's Kitchen, Matt Murdoch's dilapidated apartment.

The blind lawyer looked at his hands inconceivably—this is the true meaning of observing with eyes, instead of relying on super senses to outline and describe. Matt regained his sight for the first time since he lost his eyesight. The messy wine bottles on the floor were covered with The dusty floor, and the two figures standing in the room, everything is so clear and real.

The former leader of the Hand, Mrs. Gao, and a silver-haired old man, who was leaning on a silver cane with a skull and wearing a black windbreaker, seemed to be extremely pale. With his keen sense of smell, he could smell a faint There is a faint sulfur smell.

"Who are you?" Matt asked cautiously.

Half an hour ago, the old man who called himself "Mephisto" claimed that he could grant him the long-lost light, and with a wave of his hand, he got rid of the dark world he had been accustomed to for a long time.

It is no longer necessary to rely on the fluctuation of sound, the shape of objects, and all kinds of complicated information to outline the blurred images in the heart. All of these can be done through the eyes. Matt's firm heart has a trace of hesitation, He clearly noticed a change in his attitude.

"I am a demon from hell—you humans usually call me this way." Mephisto laughed, and the gloomy atmosphere filled the entire apartment. "Actually, I am just a fair trader to satisfy human beings Wishes and desires, in exchange for delicious souls."

"I smell you, Matt Murdoch, a lawyer who insists on justice, a vigilante who fights criminals, and a devout Catholic."

Mephisto walked quietly to Matt's side, like a ghost sneaking into the world, "Tell me, Mr. Murdoch, can your god relieve the pain in your heart? The supreme great Existence, will it give relief to those who suffer?"

"You believe in justice, but you become a devil at night; you admire the law, but trample it under your feet... As a lawyer, you can't fight against evil and practice justice; as a vigilante, you are regarded as a wanted criminal and suffered by the world cast aside."

Mephisto let out a grin, and a scorching fire appeared in his eyes. In the dark room, the shadow twisted and changed, like a hell demon with two horns.

"What are you going to do?" Matt asked coldly.

"I want to negotiate a deal with you." Mephisto looked left and right, and finally his eyes rested on Mr. Lawyer, a strange smile appeared on his pale face, "I happen to be short of a knight, and the last one was a disobedient young man. Guy, he ran away with the task I gave him, this time I want to find a reliable person."

"I won't make a deal with the devil." Matt shook his head and refused, "Even if you lose the light in front of you."

"Why be so pedantic, Mr. Murdoch, there is no conflict between practicing justice and devotion to darkness, just like you are a lawyer during the day and a vigilante at night, both of which are to carry out your beliefs." Murphys Tuo raised his hand and pointed out the window, "This place is called 'Hell's Kitchen', oh, I like this name."

"It looks well-ordered on the surface, but in fact it is full of endless evils all the time. Those drug dealers, street girls, smugglers, interest brokers...they squeeze wealth from the common people, and rule this place with violence and money. area."

"People are waiting for a hero to appear, Matt Murdoch, and the opportunity is in front of you, to plunge into the darkness in exchange for the power to enforce justice, or to continue this decadent and mediocre life."

Mephisto took out a parchment scroll, which was a contract to sell the soul. The ancient text written with a quill pen, like a twisted living thing, exuded a sense of aura.

"When you complete a task, I will return your soul to you. It's a fair deal, and there is absolutely no deceit."

Matt Murdoch closed his eyes, he was like a radar receiving all kinds of complicated information, and those noisy voices were transmitted into his mind like radio waves.

The crime in this block has never disappeared, it is just hidden in the darkness and decorated in a well-ordered and beautiful appearance, but when the glamorous fig leaf is lifted, the ugly face clearly emerges, violent oppression, bloody crimes, dirty and naked power-for-money deals...they never go away!
Exhaling a long breath, Matt opened his eyes. He took the parchment scroll in the devil's hand, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do?"

"Don't worry, it's just some small things." Mephisto smiled and took back the signed demon contract, "My child is lost, and the previous knight also escaped, a lot of trouble. You can Go and complete your vigilante career first, and when I need your help, I will naturally come to the door in person."

"Hopefully the next time I'm in this place, it's going to be a veritable hell."

Mephisto leaned on a skull-headed silver cane and slammed the floor heavily. He and Mrs. Gao turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.

Matt clutched his chest, he could feel a scorching power boiling and burning, remembering what the devil said before he left, the lawyer couldn't help but feel a little dazed, did he really make the right choice?

　ps: Well, whoever says I'm short this time, I'll smash his dog's head myself~
