People in DC, every day administrative leave

Gary Lester.

It was Constantine's friend who disappeared without a trace due to something many years ago, although he now said that this person was an incurable fool.

"This friend of yours seems to have played with too many things."

From the professional perspective of Zhang San, who has been a police officer for many years, Gary Lester is 100% an old fan addict who is suffering from withdrawal reactions.

Sweating, eyes red, rubbing arms constantly, body shaking.
To be honest, if Gary's skin color was black, he would immediately pull out a gun and pin the other person to the ground and handcuff him.

"Officer, I didn't ask you to come here to check for drug addicts. There is a problem that we need to solve now."

Looking at his friend who had his head lowered, Constantine told him the whole thing.

Probably Gary, who was kind-hearted, found a poor man with seals all over his face somewhere. He found that someone had sealed the devil into this man's body.

Then the good guy Gary took him back and used a spell to seal the demon in the man into a bottle.

But
When Gary was about to take the bottle to Atlanta to hand over to Constantine, he was taken to the cabin by customs for questioning, but a policeman broke the bottle.

The demon sealed in the bottle ran out and took over the policeman's body.

"It is a hungry spirit. After devouring one person, it will be transferred to the body of another person. That man was used as a sacrifice to destroy this thing. It's a pity that Gary is nosy."

"What did you say the hungry spirit looked like?"

"A bunch of bugs, what's wrong?"

Standing up, Zhang San pointed at him and said: "You want a group of bugs to attach themselves to me? Just to save this guy who sucks powder and has a bad mind?"

"I don't want to save him, but you can save him. Because you are special, even the Naboo God recognizes it."

If you want to destroy the hungry spirits, you need sacrifices, and you also need a sacred Kusha blade to engrave the spell, but with the help of Officer Zhang, there is no need to sacrifice sacrifices and fancy knives.

"If the devil is a soul like last time, then I can help you, bugs? Imported bugs? How fucking disgusting!"

Zhang San doesn’t want to do such a thing, it’s too disgusting.

"Only you can help him. Although Gary is a stupid idiot, he is also a good person."

Constantine, who was sitting on the chair, stood up. He actually wanted to save his friend.

If Zhang San didn't help him, the only sacrifice would be Gary.

The man who walked up the stairs turned around and looked at Gary, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Finally, he sighed and sat back.

"Why do you insist on letting Gary be the sacrifice?"

"Because all these are 'good things' he did, and he can only bear the consequences."

Zhang San stared at the British guy who said this for a long time, and then made a suggestion: "Perhaps, we can go to the street and catch a powder seller to serve as a sacrifice."

(He is obviously a police officer, but what he said is so evil. John, if he dies, you will have a companion in hell.)
A black man with yellow eyes and a gray jacket appeared next to Constantine. While speaking, he also looked at the man in front of him who made the suggestion.

After he appeared, everything around him came to a standstill, as if the picture was frozen.

"Do angels also like to curse people? Manny, you should suggest to that person to send another angel down to pay attention to this police officer. He is very special."

(I also heard what Dr. Fate said. You should think about what to do next, John.)
Manny disappeared instantly, and the frozen scenes around him returned to their original state.

"What should I say? Accept my suggestion and arrest people on the street, or let your friend be the sacrifice?" Compared with the British guy's plan to trick his teammates, Zhang San's plan was countless times better.

His plan was obviously to trap Gary to death.

"I'm willing to suffer the consequences." Gary suddenly spoke, probably because his old friend didn't answer.

"Don't speak yet, let him think for himself."

A person who does bad things with good intentions, and a gentleman who likes to treat his teammates as his first target, Zhang San finally understands why this guy's reputation is so bad.

"If you want to use the sacrifice to get rid of the hungry spirit, you need to get the Blade of Kusha. During this time, more people will die."

"Do you care about them? Seriously? Then what are you still thinking about here? Wouldn't it be good to kill a fan selling to save more people?"

"It's daytime now and the Blade of Kusha is in the museum."

If you rob something in a museum in broad daylight, you will be caught by the patrolling police.

"Don't you know magic? None of you can use it for this?"

After looking at the things on the cabinet, Zhang San pointed at them and asked, "Among these things, are there any tools that can help you take out the knife?"

"This is a sanctuary for evil spirits. The things over there are all dangerous. You'd better not touch any of them."

"Then we have to wait until night. After dark, you go steal the knife, and I'll catch a fan seller and bring him back as a sacrifice."

"I can help you."

The woman who had been listening raised her hand and said that she could help Zhang San while he was arresting people.

For example, lifting someone into a car, or becoming a bait to attract other people's attention.

"Do you think my muscles are just for showing off to others? I can lift you up with just one hand, so you don't need anyone to help me."

Zhang San only needs three steps to catch someone. First, he drives to the place selling fans. Second, he takes out a sack and puts the person inside. Third, he drives back with the sack containing the person.

"They are very alert and have guns. It will be better if I cover you."

"Zed, he can do it all by himself. This is the ace police officer, the hero who faced Poison Ivy alone in the morning."

Looking at this assistant who wanted to help, Constantine shook his head and advised her to stay in the mill.

He accepted Officer Zhang's suggestion and changed the sacrifice from a friend to a stranger selling fans.

Now they just have to wait until night before they can start. During this long wait, Constantine turned off the TV that was turned on at the beginning.

News about hungry spirits devouring people is being broadcast inside. The longer it is delayed, the more victims there will be.

"Can I read the book above?" the curious man asked the owner of the mill.

"Don't touch the one on the left, just look at the one on the right at the bottom."

The books on the right side that Constantine mentioned were all the books he usually used to look up information, and they only recorded some content related to demons.

While he was reading, Zed came to Zhang San and started chatting with him. (End of chapter)
