The next day.
After changing into their gigai, Lode and Nemuri forged two fake IDs, thus avoiding the SHIELD's pervasive surveillance, and boarded a plane to Los Angeles.
This was not because they were afraid of SHIELD, but to avoid some unnecessary troubles.
It takes about six hours to fly from Newark International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport, but fortunately, Lode and Nemuri booked first class, so they could just lie down in their chairs and take a nap.
...
After six hours of flying, they finally arrived in Los Angeles!
It was almost night, and the sun had already set.
But even so, they could still see the city was brightly lit and full of high-rise buildings.
This is the second largest international city after New York, located in southwestern California, USA, affectionately known as the 'City of Angels', and is one of the world's leading entertainment centers, like the well-known Hollywood is located here.
However, the purpose of their trip was not tourism, but to 'keep an appointment'!
"Brother~"
Nemuri took Lode's hand and asked curiously, "We've arrived in Los Angeles, where are we going next?"
"Follow it."
Lode took out the yellowed and wrinkled letter and said lightly, "It will take us there."
Since they arrived in Los Angeles, this letter has had a faint feeling, as if it was guiding them to a certain place in Los Angeles.
Following the guidance of the envelope, Lode and Nemuri walked for a long time and finally arrived at the entrance of a bar.
"Midnight?"
Lode looked up at the name of the bar and suddenly felt like he had heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember it.
"Brother~"
Nemuri tugged at Lode's sleeve and then whispered, "There are spiritual fluctuations outside this bar, which can disrupt the vision of ordinary people, making them unconsciously ignore its existence."
"Oh?"
Lode raised his eyebrows, gathered his spiritual power in his eyes, and found that it was indeed as Nemuri said.
There is an invisible force around the bar, which can make those ordinary people who pass by unconsciously ignore this bar, thus achieving a secret effect.
But the degree of elimination is not high, as long as you have a little spiritual power, you can see it.
"It seems that we have found the right place."
Lode took out the letter, and the sensation on it was very strong, obviously the destination was this bar: "Let's go, let's go in and see who is inviting us."
Hopefully this bar doesn't follow American law!
Otherwise, with Nemuri's six or seven-year-old appearance, it is impossible for them to enter, and it might even call the police!
The two stepped into the bar and walked straight down the stairs.
The light in the bar is bright red, shining on the surrounding walls and stairs, like a blood path leading to hell!
After Lode led Nemuri down the stairs, he saw a two-meter-tall tattooed man blocking the door.
The big man looked them up and down, without showing a contemptuous look, but took out a card, turned the back to them, and asked, "Tell me, what is drawn on the card?"
This is a psychic card, used to test whether you have spiritual power.
If you have spiritual power, you can see through the back of the card at a glance and know the image on the front of the card; but if you don't have spiritual power, you can only see the back of the card.
Lode glanced at it, and then said lightly, "Trench coat rabbit."
"Correct answer."
The big man stepped aside and made way for him, indicating that he could go in.
Lode led Nemuri further inside, through a narrow passage, and came to the inside of this bar called 'Midnight'.
Only after entering did he realize that the walls and ceilings of the entire bar were covered with red light bulbs of various sizes, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange under the illumination of this bright red light.
Buzz~
The envelope in his arms was shaking, as if he couldn't wait to guide them to a certain place in the bar.
Lode picked up Nemuri and then shuttled through the colorful crowd in the bar, heading towards the place indicated by the envelope.
"Brother~ They are looking at us!"
Nemuri shrank into Lode's arms, and said a little scared: "Their eyes... are very wrong."
"Yeah, I know."
Lode hugged Nemuri tighter, and said lightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
These people's eyes have been wandering over them since they entered the bar, and some of them even stared at them with malicious eyes.
And there is something very strange!
The eye colors of these people are blood red and pure gold, which makes Lode feel less like humans.
It's a pity that although he has the power to kill souls, he doesn't have the power to directly see through the essence of souls, so before these creatures show their true form, Lode can't judge what they are.
"Brother..."
Nemuri suddenly pointed in one direction, widened her eyes and asked curiously, "What are they... doing?"
Lode looked in the direction Nemuri pointed, and suddenly his mouth twitched.
Two muscular men were naked and sparring with swords in the corner!
"Cough cough!"
Lode coughed lightly, quickly covered Nemuri's eyes with his hands, and scolded: "Children don't look at this kind of thing, you will grow corns in the future."
"Oh~"
Nemuri obediently closed her eyes.
The underground space of the bar is very large, Lode hugged Nemuri and walked for five or six minutes, when he came to the front desk, he suddenly sensed that the vibration of the envelope in his arms became more intense!
"It's here!"
Lode's eyes swept across the bar's front desk, and found that only one person was sitting here.
The man was wearing a khaki long trench coat, with messy blond hair, the stubble on his face had not been trimmed for a long time, holding a glass of wine in his left hand, and a cigarette in his right hand, the whole was a decadent uncle.
"It seems that he is the one who invited us."
Lode thought in his heart, then sat next to that person, and said to the bartender at the bar: "A glass of plain water with ice, a glass of orange juice, thank you."
"..."
The bartender looked at Lode speechlessly, thinking that you are here to make me laugh by ordering plain water and orange juice in a bar?
As the saying goes, opening a business to make money, the customer is God, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he still followed Lode's request and handed over a glass of iced plain water and a glass of orange juice.
Lode took out the letter and handed it to the decadent uncle next to him, and said lightly, "This letter, did you send it to me?"
"wht?"
The decadent uncle's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "This is impossible, it should have been sent to hell, how could it be in your hands?"
Lode thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe I have something to do with hell, so can you explain what's going on?"
Who knows!
As soon as he finished speaking, the decadent uncle's eyes lit up, as if he had seen some rare treasure.
This feeling...
It was like being stared at, making Lode feel uncomfortable all over.
"Oh~ Thank God!"
The decadent uncle showed a warm smile, reached out to Lode, and said, "Dear friend, it's nice to meet you, my name is John Constantine!"
Lode: Σ(°△°|||)︴
Damn... who ran to the wrong set!
How could this scum appear in Marvel?
