He remained motionless, merely stroking his cane, his feet sinking into the black liquid, his expression growing increasingly grim: "Let me give you one last piece of advice, young man. The fact that I've established myself here and been elected as the head of the neutral zone means I'm not someone to be trifled with. And you insist on opposing me..."
This time, Constantine, who was watching the show from the corner, chuckled: "Hey Midnight, as a friend, let me give you some advice. The guy standing in front of you is beyond God's control, and even more beyond Satan's control. Do you think he cares how powerful you are?"
When he heard Constantine's words at midnight, he was stunned for a moment. But before he could react, the black liquid that covered the entire ground suddenly surged up and became extremely hot.
He cried out in pain from being burned at midnight. His face was full of anger. He ignored Constantine's words and stood up abruptly, disregarding the surging black liquid. He raised his hand and waved a light purple mist at Lin Bei.
The purple mist spread quickly, instantly reaching every corner of the room.
The instant he raised his hand at midnight, Constantine knew what he was going to do. He immediately took off his coat and covered Angela's head with it, then covered his own mouth and nose and complained, "Come on, not again. This room is so small, you should take care of us innocent people too."
Ignoring Constantine's words, Midnight threw out the poisonous fog, tossed his cane upwards, grasped the middle section, pointed the tip at Lin Bei, and gently twisted the cane.
Then the head of the cane opened, and several silver needles gleaming with purple light flew out and headed straight for Lin Bei's face.
Those silver needles were clearly coated with deadly poison; even a tiny bit of it would be fatal.
Anyone who gets stabbed like that will die instantly.
No, not just humans. If it were angels or demons standing here, with Midnight's power, he could make them suffer for a long time, if not kill them.
Midnight was very confident in the poison he concocted. After all, if it weren't for his ability to kill and save people, he wouldn't have been surrounded by humans, angels, and demons to become a neutral manager.
Unfortunately, Midnight overestimated his own abilities and underestimated Lin Bei's.
Lin Bei stood in the light purple mist, neither covering his mouth nor nose nor making any movement. He simply let the mist envelop him, and even when the mist attacked him at midnight, he remained calm.
He simply let the black liquid churn and churn, the temperature of the flames within it continuing to rise.
Just as the poison needle was fired at midnight, the room, which was supposed to be soundproof, could faintly hear the agonizing screams of demons and angels coming from the club lobby outside.
Anyone who comes into contact with even a single drop of the black liquid will not escape.
Just as the three poisoned needles were about to hit Lin Bei, he slightly raised his eyes, and a stream of black liquid flew up, easily blocking the needles.
Lin Bei watched as he played with the poison needle amidst the black liquid, and chuckled, "Such a little trick. In this world, who cares about neutrality? Demons are almost infiltrating the human world, and you're still hiding in your turtle shell playing house?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Bei gave Midnight no more chances to make a move. He raised his hand, and the black liquid, mixed with flames, suddenly burst forth. In Midnight's astonished and helpless gaze, the black liquid, scalding hot, surged down.
Midnight didn't even have time to let out a scream before the intense heat claimed her life. The black liquid followed, engulfing Midnight's body completely.
By the time the black liquid splattered onto the walls of the room, there was no trace of Midnight.
This is not over yet.
Lin Bei thought for a moment, then gently snapped his fingers.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble. Constantine, who had been indifferently watching Midnight die, now sensed something was wrong. His brows furrowed, and the pale purple mist did not dissipate. He could only cover his mouth and nose and ask, "Isn't Midnight dead? What else are you planning to do?"
The ground trembled more and more violently, and Constantine and Angela could barely stand.
Lin Bei stood quietly in the center of the room, one hand in his pocket. He was completely unaffected by the tremors. He glanced around and saw the walls trembling slightly and cracks appearing in the ceiling above him. Black liquid was climbing up the walls and quickly covering the almost collapsing ceiling.
Lin Bei shrugged and said indifferently, "What else can we do? If Midnight dies, then there's no need for this so-called neutral zone to exist. Didn't I say from the beginning that I was going to demolish this place? Once I've said something, there's no going back."
Hearing Lin Bei say this, Constantine sighed helplessly: "Then you should dissipate the poison gas first. If you stay in the poison, I'm afraid I'll go to hell soon."
Lin Bei glanced at Constantine with disdain, but he didn't wish for his partner to die early. After all, he got along well with Constantine and he could provide him with a lot of laughs.
With a wave of his hand, he accelerated the speed at which the black liquid devoured the Midnight Club.
In just a few seconds, the entire Midnight Club was engulfed in black liquid. As the earth trembled violently and the night wind blew over everyone's heads, Constantine lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and looked up at the bright moon overhead.
"So why did you have to offend Lin Bei?"
The Midnight Club was thus erased from existence.
After Lin Bei retrieved all the black liquid, he turned around and looked indifferently at the demons and angels who were standing there in a daze.
This time, Lin Bei didn't devour both the demons and angels; he only swallowed up the entire Midnight Club.
At this moment, hundreds of people stood in the open space. The scorching heat from before had been dispelled by the night wind. If it weren't for the burns on their bodies, they would have thought they had just hallucinated.
Lin Bei's gaze swept over the group of angels and demons, finally settling on one of the demons.
He gestured with his chin in that direction and spoke casually to Constantine.
“No need for the Midnight prop anymore. See that demon? Angela’s death is related to him. Go, Constantine, capture him.”
Constantine was puffing on his cigarette when he heard Lin Bei's words. He paused for a moment, and when he looked up, he met a pair of scarlet, malicious eyes.
Constantine's expression changed slightly, and he strode forward with a cigarette dangling from his lips: "Balsazar! I fucking knew this had to do with you!"
The man known as "Balzaza" was dressed in a light gray suit, his hands behind his back, and he had recovered from the shock of being swallowed by a mysterious force at the midnight club. He was now smiling as he watched Constantine rushing towards him angrily.
When Constantine grabbed his collar, Balsazar sighed dramatically: “Constantine, you’re still as rude as ever. What do you want with me? I just came to the midnight club to relax… Oh right, there aren’t even midnight clubs anymore. Looks like I’ll have to find somewhere else to relax from now on.”
Balthazar is a relatively high-level hybrid demon, which is why he can roam freely among humans.
Balsaza and Constantine had a long-standing feud. Balsaza killed many of Constantine's friends and partners. When Lin Bei and Constantine were in Berlin, Balsaza also tried to stop them.
Unfortunately, Lin Bei was a tough opponent. Balsaza was very careful and immediately withdrew after realizing that he could not harm Lin Bei.
He never expected to run into these two people at a midnight club tonight.
Balthazar appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was already considering running away.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of Constantine, but rather of Lin Bei. Ever since the probing attack in Berlin, he had sensed that this human named Lin Bei was very strange.
He had never felt this way before, this feeling that his life was threatened.
Balthazar only realized after leaving Berlin that the feeling was exactly the same as when he faced Satan.
That was fear of absolute power.
After realizing that he was afraid of a human, Balthazar couldn't accept the fact for a long time.
After a long period of processing his emotions, he returned to the midnight club, only to be so unlucky as to run into Lin Bei again.
Just as Balsazar was trying to appear calm, Constantine didn't attack him directly as he usually did. Instead, he grabbed Balsazar by the collar and dragged him in front of Lin Bei.
Constantine shoved Balthazar's collar aside, continued smoking, and lazily looked at Lin Bei: "The man is here. What are you going to do? If you want to kill him, you don't need to lift a finger."
Balthazar staggered, straightened his collar, and sneered at Constantine's words: "Kill me? You? Constantine, if you could kill me, you would have done it years ago. Otherwise, your friends wouldn't have died at my hands, would they?"
Balthazar's words were clearly meant to provoke Constantine. Even if Constantine was very rational, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes when he heard the other party say such things.
Lin Bei raised his hand to block Constantine behind him. He looked at Balsazar calmly and said, "If you want to die, no one will stop you. There's no need to rush to your death. I had Constantine bring you here just to ask you a small question."
Balthazar dared to provoke Constantine, but dared not do anything to Lin Bei.
The fear that he had finally managed to forget all came back.
He swallowed hard, suppressing his arrogance towards Constantine, and frowned: "What is it? I'm not one of you. I won't answer your questions."
Lin Bei chuckled lightly, casually dropping a bombshell: "You've partnered with the angels, haven't you?"
If this were a bombshell, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Lin Bei was referring to the original plot.
In the original storyline, Balthazar and his demon horde did indeed cooperate with the angels.
The goal was to get Angela to give birth to Mammon, thus creating a third force between Heaven and Hell.
Mammon is the son of Satan. He wanted to compete with his father Satan to see who was more wicked, and he also wanted to escape his father's control. That's why he sent his demon minions to wreak havoc on earth.
Looking at Balsazar again, he didn't expect Lin Bei to say that. He froze on the spot, unable to maintain his elegance.
Constantine, who was standing nearby, was very perceptive and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Balsazar.
Even though Balthazar's stiffness only lasted for a second or two, Constantine still managed to catch it.
What Lin Bei said was true, and it was confirmed by Balsazar.
Demons and angels have joined forces.
This news was too explosive. After all, in this world, angels and demons can secretly mingle in neutral areas, but they would never cooperate to plot something big.
Satan looks down on angels, and God naturally looks down on demons as well.
If Satan or God were to discover this clandestine collaboration, it wouldn't be as simple as just punishment.
Angels will be demoted to ordinary people, and demons will be crushed into hellish ashes by Satan's own hands.
The consequences of such a conspiracy are too dire; no one is willing to take the risk. In this world, such an act would be nothing short of a fantasy.
But now, Lin Bei's casual remark is actually true?
Constantine was the first to recover. His face was grave. He casually tossed away his cigarette butt, grabbed Balthazar's collar again, and angrily questioned in a low voice, "You demons and angels collaborated? Which angel was so bold as to do such a thing? Do you know how terrible the consequences will be if Satan and God find out? Don't you want to live anymore?"
Balsazar also came to his senses.
He knew that since Lin Bei could ask such a question, it meant that he definitely knew something, and what he knew was definitely not a small amount.
This also means that it is impossible to gloss over the issue with Lin Bei and Constantine.
Balthazar closed his eyes resignedly, and when he opened them again, he looked at Constantine with a cold expression, leaned close to him, and sneered, "Yes, Constantine, we've cooperated with the angels. How about that? Isn't that much better than a coward like you? As a human, you have no idea what we want. This world is rotten to the core, Hell is rotten to the core. We need a new order and power to reshape the structure of this world, don't we?"
Constantine gritted his teeth in anger. He raised his hand to punch Balsazar, but Lin Bei stopped him.
Lin Bei glanced at Constantine indifferently: "After I confirm things, I won't stop you from dealing with him however you want. Anyway, I'm here, he won't dare to do anything."
Lin Bei's words were a reassurance, and Constantine felt his nameless anger subside a little. He sneered at Balsazar, "Did you hear what Lin Bei said? You won't live past tonight."
Balsazar's face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Lin Bei.
Lin Bei's expression was calm, but the composure between his brows made Balsaza realize that he really wouldn't survive the night.
Even if Lin Bei could easily kill him right now, Balsaza would never allow himself to sit here and wait to die.
Before Lin Bei could ask any questions, Balsazar immediately spread his bat wings, disregarding the rule of not revealing his identity in front of humans, and flew desperately into the night sky.
He knew that if he waited until Lin Bei finished asking his questions, he would really be dead.
Seeing Balsazar escape, Angela panicked: "He's run away, aren't you going to chase after him?"
Constantine, no longer agitated, slowly lit another cigarette: "Didn't you hear Lin Bei say that he wants to ask questions first?"
Angela was still a little confused: "But Balthazar has already escaped, how can we ask him..."
Constantine scoffed, "We'll see if he can escape." (End of Chapter)
