Raymond brought these two out because they were both professionals in this field.
The John Constantine Sub-Personality, of course, didn't need much explanation. In the DC universe, which mirrored the structure of the Marvel world, there were also many Gods, and John Constantine's Sub-Personality was an expert in this area.
He had interacted with almost every evil god and was well-versed in everything related to them. He could even manipulate these Gods at times, outwitting them and making many of them hate his name to the core.
The Exorcist Sub-Personality certainly didn't have as many battle achievements as John Constantine's, but he was no slouch either. After all, he came from a world with a mythological background—the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.
Though his personal strength was average and only capable of dealing with ordinary monsters, as an exorcist, he had rich experience in communicating with gods and demons beyond the veil. He was quite experienced in such matters.
Otherwise, he would never have been chosen to accompany John Constantine's personality. In terms of combat power, he wouldn't even be in the running.
"Got it." John Constantine's Sub-Personality nodded.
This time, he didn't haggle with Raymond. Although Raymond hadn't activated sensory sharing for a while due to his movie date with Beth, John Constantine could easily tell that Raymond was on the verge of exploding. At this moment, bargaining with Raymond would obviously not be a wise move.
As for the Exorcist Sub-Personality, he never had the right to bargain, so he immediately agreed.
Ten seconds later—
"I found it! Over there!" Under Raymond's surprised gaze, the Exorcist Sub-Personality pointed southeast in the park, indicating where the target was.
"So fast?" John Constantine's Sub-Personality was stunned.
In fact, it wasn't just him who was shocked. When Raymond opened sensory sharing again, all the other Sub-Personality watching the situation in his mind were equally astounded.
For a long time, the Exorcist Sub-Personality had been like a mascot, nobody took him seriously. As the only bronze-level Sub-Personality that Raymond had never used, the others didn't regard him highly.
Plus, he was a talkative type who would often strike up conversations with the other Sub-Personality, most of whom were cold and indifferent, rarely responding to him. Only Livebearer's Sub-Personality occasionally chatted with him, sharing memories to pass the time.
When Raymond released him, the other Sub-Personality weren't particularly impressed. No one expected him to be more reliable than John Constantine's Sub-Personality, the most mysterious of the bronze-level personalities. Even Raymond hadn't predicted this outcome.
"I calculated it with my fingers, and found it." The Exorcist Sub-Personality proudly said, one hand making a gesture of calculation.
"Calculated with your fingers... what's that?" None of the Sub-Personality understood what the Exorcist Sub-Personality was talking about.
Only Raymond understood, but didn't ask further. He simply said, "Lead the way."
The Exorcist Sub-Personality, happy to oblige, began leading the way, continuing to make hand gestures as they walked.
"It's like a divination ability… I didn't expect a bronze-level Sub-Personality to have such a power. I've really underestimated him before." Watching the Exorcist Sub-Personality lead the way, Raymond realized he had once again fallen into a mental blind spot.
Because he knew John Constantine's Sub-Personality had an impressive battle record, he never really considered him a true bronze-level Sub-Personality.
However, for the other bronze-level personalities, Raymond had gradually begun to think of them as increasingly useless.
The Exorcist Sub-Personality had now given him a lesson: never underestimate anyone.
Abilities like this, similar to divination, could be more useful at critical moments than the battle strength that a silver-level Sub-Personality could provide.
If he hadn't considered the Exorcist Sub-Personality might have experience in this area, he never would have discovered that this guy could actually use divination.
While Raymond pondered that he should stop underestimating people, the Exorcist Sub-Personality had already found the target.
"Over there!" He pointed ahead.
However, when they arrived, there was no one to be seen, and no bodies or traces were present—only some bloodstains remained on the ground, confirming that something had happened here not long ago.
"Such an evil aura!" The Exorcist Sub-Personality, after arriving, said with astonishment.
"Evil aura?" Raymond found it strange, as he felt nothing and didn't smell anything unusual.
"It's the aura of an evil god, and a very powerful one at that…" John Constantine's Sub-Personality crouched down to observe the area, then agreed.
Seeing John Constantine's Sub-Personality confirm it, Raymond understood—it was likely because he lacked experience and ability in this area that he couldn't sense the residual aura they were talking about.
"Step back for a moment," John Constantine's Sub-Personality stood up and motioned for Raymond and the Exorcist Sub-Personality to step aside.
After they moved, he turned to Raymond and said, "Let me have a bit of blood."
Raymond didn't hesitate. He quickly used his right index finger to cut a small wound on his left palm and opened his hand.
John Constantine's Sub-Personality didn't waste any time. He dipped his index finger in Raymond's blood and drew a strange blood-red symbol on his other hand. He then began chanting a spell directed toward the front!
As his chant accelerated, a layer of black mist suddenly appeared on the ground!
The mist gradually rose into the air, gathering together and forming a face, only the size of a fist, entirely made of black fog.
"Why does this feel somewhat familiar?" Raymond couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity when he saw the face.
If he remembered correctly, a similar scene had occurred not long ago at the Clockworks Psychiatric Hospital.
At that time, it was the Shadow King who, under pressure from John Constantine's Sub-Personality, had to appear and launch a full-on assault against him.
Raymond had even commented in his mind at the time that the Shadow King resembled a low-budget version of Dormammu.
If the Shadow King at that time seemed like a budget version of Dormammu, then the black fog face in front of him, only the size of a fist, seemed more like a "budget Dormammu" from a cheap online store.
"Who is summoning the great Dormammu… why have you not prepared enough sacrifices?!" The black fog face immediately formed and reprimanded in an angry tone.
Its voice was deep and terrifying, but given the small size of the face, it looked strangely comical.
"Dormammu? What kind of stupid name is that? Who are you, demon, to dare cause trouble in front of your grandpa!" The Exorcist Sub-Personality had already adopted a praying mantis stance, looking like he was ready to attack at any moment.
What he didn't notice was that both John Constantine's Sub-Personality and Raymond had serious expressions on their faces.
"It really is Dormammu?" Raymond was slightly startled inside.
It seemed like every time someone mentioned Dormammu, he appeared—how come every time Raymond thought of him, Dormammu just showed up?
