Baker looked at the contract Mephisto took out and couldn't help but smile.
"You do not trust me?"
"Do you believe me?"
"I don't believe it, but you don't dare."
"I don't believe it either, but you dare."
"..."
Baker looked at Mephisto who was speaking in a cowardly manner in the most powerful and domineering manner, laughed twice, and then took the contract from Mephisto. After a cursory glance, he directly wrote himself name.
Mephisto in front of him reminded: "Real name!"
Baker glanced up at Mephisto, wrote his name on it, and then handed it directly to Mephisto after writing it.
Make a deal with the devil, even if it is written in black and white, you may fall into the devil's trap.
Look at Johnny…
Even if it was written in black and white, Mephisto would deceive him.
But Baker is not Johnny. To put it simply, what if there are text traps on the contract?
Johnny doesn't have the ability to break the contract, but Beck does.
and……
So what if there is a contract without traps? For a certain rabbit, the contract he did not sign is the toilet paper in the latrine. Unfortunately, Baker is a Westerner in this life, so even if it is a signed contract, as long as it is against There is no benefit to him at all, and there is no psychological burden for Baker to tear up the contract.
Mephisto understands this too.
But after understanding it, Mephisto felt a little calmer after taking back the contract and looking at the writing on the contract.
Being a demon is actually the same as being a human being. You always have to have some expectations for the future. For now, Mephisto can only hope that Baker's credibility will be stronger.
Again.
It's a pity that Barbara Morse isn't here, otherwise she would have told Mephisto not to put his faith in Baker's credibility.
the more you hope, the harder you fall!
soon.
Mephisto put away the contract and looked at Baker: "Happy cooperation!"
Baker smiled: "Happy cooperation!"
Mephisto took out a living planet as the temporary residence of the angels, but he was able to successfully become the real king of hell.
Baker loses a favor, he can clean up the door for their race, and then he can get the sword of Angel Queen Angel.
In this transaction, if only Baker and Mephisto are counted, Mephisto actually earned it with blood.
One sentence.
Except for Hellboy's life, Angel Queen Angel's sword or the future kingdom of heaven were not given to him by Baker.
so……
Baker felt like he was on the short end of the stick.
An hour later, Baker took Andy back to London from the hell dimension.
look up.
Another three days have passed, and today is June 5th.
only……
There seems to be something wrong with the place I came out.
Baker frowned as he looked at the people who appeared in front of him.
Immortal Professor Bloom.
Asian Major Ben Daimio.
Psychic Alice Monaghan.
besides……
Barbara Morse.
"Beck?"
Barbara looked at Baker and Andy who appeared in front of them after a flash of black light, and walked over directly: "Hellboy has signed the contract."
Baker came to his senses: "I know."
"and you……"
"The passage is right here, passing by, passing by."
"aisle?"
Baker smiled and said: "I just came up from the hell side, and the passage over there happened to be opened..."
The words are not finished yet.
There was a bang.
A figure fell directly from the basement ceiling and smashed the conference table in front of several people.
Hellboy.
Baker looked at Barbara: "Look, this is also someone who came back from the dimensional space."
Said.
Hellboy, who had an error in landing and fell to the ground, stumbled to his feet and said: "Pando Mountain, the Blood Queen is in Pando Mountain, we don't have much time."
In Pandora Mountain, because of the Blood Queen Vivian, people took the witches to Pandora Mountain, cut off their tongues and fed them to maggots, then cut off their limbs, and buried them alive there.
Pandoshan?
There is another name called Witch Mountain.
That night.
The Queen's Fighter set sail from London to the Pendo Mountains in central England.
Asian Major Ben Daimio drove a helicopter with the psychic Alice Monaghan and Hellboy to fly there quickly.
Barbara didn't go.
Because Baker didn't go.
A high-end restaurant in London.
Baker ate the beef on the plate in front of him, wiped his mouth, and then said to Barbara sitting opposite: "Do you think I made a profit or a loss?"
Barbara was confused.
Baker said: "You see, we went to Baba Yaga's hut, and we went there for a few hours, but three days passed outside, and then I went to hell again, and three days passed like an hour. Personally speaking, I was gone for four hours at most, but from the perspective of the earth, I disappeared for six whole days, so did I make a profit or a loss?"
Four hours?
Six days?
Barbara thought for a moment, then looked directly at Baker: "I'm not interested in this. I'm interested in what you did in hell."
Baker cut the beef on the plate: "Ask Mephisto to cooperate."
"cooperate?"
"Um."
Barbara's thoughts were racing, and she seemed to have thought of something. She raised her head and looked at Baker: "Are you using me?"
It is clear.
It is unlikely that Baker will go to hell to find Marduk, so Mephisto is the only option left.
Why are you looking for Mephisto?
no doubt.
Baker looked suspicious when he heard Barbara's words: "Using you? No, no, no, actually, you want a chance, I'll give you a chance."
"What?"
"The camps are different, so sometimes, although what you do conflicts with what I want to do, I can understand it. Therefore, if SHIELD wants to protect Hellboy, then I will give you a step. When the time comes, You can say that you were used by me."
"So, I want to thank you?"
"You're welcome."
"You lied to me again."
"I don't!"
Baker told Barbara about the origin of angel blood, and then looked at the expression on Barbara's face and smiled slightly: "The blood of angels that I thought was the half-angel soul of the mixed race, the blood of angels that you thought was just It’s the so-called blood, so I don’t think I deceived you, do you?”
Barbara laughed twice.
The next second.
Barbara put down the knife and fork in her hand: "I won't eat."
Baker looked at Barbara, who had an expression on her face, and said, "Actually, I think this is a good thing."
"Good thing?"
"certainly."
Baker said to Barbara: "If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't have to go through such a big trick just to expose Hellboy's true colors and then kill him. If it weren't for you, Hellboy, I killed you at the first opportunity, so... yes, it is undeniable that you have a small place in my heart."
Barbara: "..."
This statement is half true and half false.
real.
Despite Baker's denials, it was clear that Barbara Morse held a small place in his heart.
If Barbara had no status at all, it would be impossible for her to live in the apartment at 820 Fifth Avenue.
As for fake ones?
Let’s just say the earth is a playground for Baker.
Before being promoted to Extraordinary, Baker played in the amusement park. Just like a child who entered the amusement park for the first time, he liked to take turns with one project after another, and everything he saw was novel.
But after being promoted from ordinary to extraordinary, Baker is still in this amusement park. The difference is that the novelty has disappeared. Although there are still many projects in the amusement park, after playing tired, you need to rest for a while.
To put it simply.
When Baker was ordinary, he thought the earth was just a passerby, but after being promoted to extraordinary, the earth adjusted from the position of a passerby to the level of a rest stop.
Home is a harbor.
A rest stop can also be regarded as a harbor.
The universe is so big and he wants to see it.
Naturally, since SHIELD thinks they can get Barbara Morse to control him, so what if they give them such an illusion?
He is unwilling to destroy the earth. At the very least, he has no such idea in his subjective will. Since SHIELD's policy is not to offend the river, that's fine. Baker is too lazy to put too much energy into these matters.
Of course.
Illusions can be given, but you have to pay attention to the scale. One of the things that humans like most, or that Westerners like most, is that they like to offend people.
If it is given too easily, they will not be satisfied. Just like some things, you thought he would give you money before you got married, and then you found out that he planned to have sex for nothing, and you also planned to admit it. In the end, you found out that he wanted to do it. If you want to rape and kill, by then it will be too late.
so……
Barbara was silent.
Two hours later.
hotel room.
Barbara turned over, looked at Baker condescendingly, and suddenly stopped moving: "Do you really care about me?"
Baker was confused for a while: "Is it appropriate to talk about this matter without going up or down?"
"why not?"
"Okay, yes."
"Thanks."
"..."
the next day.
Early in the morning.
hotel restaurant.
Baker held his first glass of bourbon in the morning, thinking about the scene last night when Barbara smiled and said thank you after hearing him say he cared about her, and was speechless.
I said I care about you.
You say thank you.
what is this?
Baker felt like he was being taken advantage of. This feeling was like a boy confessing his love to a girl. The boy said I like you, but the girl didn't answer the question and said thank you.
Wow.
This sentence is full of tea art flavor.
"Can not be done."
“I got the first goal.”
Baker murmured to himself. He once had a friend who said that there are attacks and losses in a relationship, but it is more of a transaction between the two parties.
To put it simply.
I said I care about you, and the correct answer should be Me Too, not Thanks.
It's just like a football game. It's Baker and Barbara who are playing football. The current situation is that Baker scored the first goal after being scored by Barbara, but Baker hasn't scored a goal yet.
This won't work.
This point must be regained.
Baker raised his eyebrows, planning in his mind how to get the answer "I care about you too" from Barbara.
What?
Did you mean it on purpose but not sincerely?
That's better.
If it was sincere, frankly speaking, Baker would still find it a bit troublesome, because if it was sincere, there is no doubt that the next words would be I like you, and then it would become I love you.
And after that?
Baker seemed to be able to see the ending of the two of them less than half a year after their marriage.
Although a girl in love and a married woman may appear to be the same person, believe me, they are not.
Girls in love don't care whether you smoke or drink.
But a married woman may be able to insist on not talking to you for a month. If it exceeds a month, why don't you try smoking and drinking again?
What if in the future, when they get married, Barbara reveals her true nature and asks him to put away his murderous intentions and become a rich man with peace of mind?
To kill or not to kill when the time comes?
This has never been a problem for Baker. At most, it only makes Baker's knife-carrying hand tremble once or twice.
but.
Before Baker could think of a plan to get Barbara to say "I care about you too" to him, the Supreme Dragon Ring on the middle finger of Baker's right hand flashed.
Baker raised his eyebrows.
The next second.
Baker's endless energy connected with the Supreme Dragon Ring seemed to break through the void, causing his eyes to fall on a certain cave.
In order to save the psychic Alice Monaghan who was poisoned by the plague, Hellboy found the wise Merlin who was cursed and sealed by Marduk in the cave leading to the center of the world at Blackfin Point.
The sarcophagus opens.
After the seal was lifted, the first thing the corrupt wise man Merlin said when he saw Hellboy standing next to the tomb was: "Have you finally come to collect my soul?"
After all, Hellboy is the son of Marduk. Although his appearance is not 100% similar to Marduk, in the blur, the wise Merlin still vaguely saw the shadow of Marduk on Hellboy's face.
"That's none of my business." Hellboy directly reached out and pulled the slow-moving wise man Merlin out of the tomb: "Hurry up, my friend has been poisoned."
When Hellboy's right hand just touched Wise Merlin's shoulder, Wise Merlin's expression changed inadvertently.
The breath of King Arthur's blood.
Baker's dark energy is ready to move now. Although he can suppress the angel blood in Hellboy's body anytime and anywhere, the time has not yet come. Naturally, the wise Merlin can detect it.
Merlin the Wise couldn't help but look at Hellboy a few more times.
soon.
Merlin the Wise saw Alice and recognized the wound on Alice's neck.
"I've seen this before. This is Vivian's method."
The wise Merlin groped for Alice's wounds while warning: "Vivian is resurrected. You can't underestimate her. She is the incarnation of the devil. If we hurry up, we still have a chance, but you must swear to me in return, no matter what No matter what method you use, no matter what the cost, you must swear to destroy Vivian."
Hellboy said solemnly: "I can definitely guarantee this."
In the hell dimension.
somewhere.
In a palace built by giants, a huge horned demon whispered: "Hurry up, hurry up, use your last life to bring him the Sword in the Stone, I promise, you will be there." Hell has its own private room.”
at this time.
A huge demon appeared: "Lord, Mephisto's evil heart towards us has been revealed."
Marduk: "..."
