Chapter 1176 (1/2)
The law of the world should be like this - there are causes and results, equal exchange, no pain, no gain
Where life exists within the rules, their life is limited to a framework, which is order, rules, common sense and limits. This is a kind of restraint and protection. In a word... Heaven goes often
And what about us?
We cheat!
We despise the rules, play around the laws of the universe, let it hand in hand with the fruit of no cause, let us get something for nothing, we look for loopholes, we trample on the contract... We are mages!
A mage is a person who tramples on the rules and is a cheater!
Constantine lowered his head and put on a cigarette. He walked through the dark alley outside the bar. The faint light of the lighter projected his shadow behind him and pulled it very long.
Took a deep breath and slowly spit out the smoke ring.
Constantine stepped deep and shallow on the dirty water and walked forward
A dark shadow appeared in front. He leaned against the wall at the door of dotty pet store where Constantine lived. Constantine didn't hesitate. Who knows who came to him? He has too much trouble to deal with.
As I said before, heaven always goes... Cheaters always have to pay a price. Although no one knows the reason or specific way, the price is indeed inevitable. Constantine has made this clear from his 20-year experience, so he began to gradually stay away from magic and live by cheating.
After all, he is a cheater targeted by regulators.
Mages distort time and space, control other people's thoughts and create life. There are no rules for them. This is magic. It makes mages a very dangerous existence - for others and for themselves.
The little spider said hello to the decadent uncle who came to him: ”Hi! Are you John Constantine? I was introduced by a man. She said you were very resourceful...”
”So did she say I was a scum?” Constantine replied casually, ”where did you know her, moonlight Bunny villa? Or Ms. Shetty's ranch? Tell her I'll go back and pay the bill... Or can she take a cut from your commission? Or has she already taken it?”
”She did mention this to me,” the little spider stressed, ”but it's not clear to the extent that you still owe female workers service fees.”
”Ha ha...” Constantine said with a smile, ”the service fee for female workers... The money for whoring is the money for darting!”
”She suggested that I go to the shadow contract, or shazan, or Mrs. Shangdu, sage ogi, Faust, witch, Dr. destiny... She knows all these people and they are more reliable than you... But I decided as soon as I heard your name.” the little spider shrugged and said, ”because he used your name, I think it proves that you are unusual.”
”Every magic user is unusual...” Constantine sighed: ”But you didn't find it by looking at advertisements... In fact, you are the kind of customer I hate most. Generally, customers who look at advertisements or are introduced by acquaintances are just poor people entangled with unclean things. But people like you are introduced by someone in uniform or an expert... It's usually a big trouble.”
”And I don't want to get into such big trouble.”
The little spider was silent for a while and decided to use the routine that the prophet told him before he left - the prophet didn't want to meet this scum and didn't even want to breathe together in a city, so the little spider had to come to Constantine alone. Who told him that he couldn't walk when he heard the name?
Chen ang used such a name in the original world.
