"Snapped"

A banknote was pressed on the table, waking up the sleepy boss in the afternoon sun.

In this small street shop in Florida, the slightly bald boss raised his head and saw a young man in a beach shirt and big shorts with sunglasses on his face, almost covering most of his face and carrying a bag. People are standing in front of him.

"5 bottles of water!"

The young man looked at the watch on his wrist and he said:

"Please hurry up, I'm almost out of the train."

"5 bottles?"

The boss quickly withdrew the money. He looked at the young man in surprise, he asked:

"You drink alone?"

This problem made the young man with sunglasses show a helpless smile. He reached out and pushed the sunglasses and shrugged to the boss:

"Yes, I like drinking water. I like it."

After a moment, Merlin, whose backpack was full of water, buckled the sun hat behind his head.

He twisted a bottle of water and poured it into his mouth in the sunlight.

As the cold water entered the body, a small shell pendant hanging on his neck flashed like a wave of light. Merlin could feel the water flowing down his throat and into his stomach. The cool sensation, and under the influence of the magic jewelry given to him by Vico, the undersea man, quickly filled his body.

In the state of Merlin's eyesight, the black smoke "flowing out" from him just tried to escape, and quickly dissipated under the magic scrub of invisible water.

Merlin shook his head and threw the empty water bottle into the trash can at the door of the station. Like a normal backpacker, he strolled into the train station.

This is in 1990. The network system that allows criminals to escape is just mature, and it has not reached the point where it can replace the traditional ticketing model. For Merlin, who had the cloak of shadow, he didn't even need a passport and a ticket. The train station was almost undefended for him.

A few minutes later, Merlin carried the bag with ease, waiting on the platform for the train from Florida to the western United States. His fingers subconsciously touched the shell pendant on his neck, which was like a cheap souvenir from the beach in Florida.

But when you touch it with your fingers, you will feel as if you put your hand in the water, there is a cool.

This is the "solution" Vico gave him.

This thing is good, but the activation method is a little weird. Merlin still remembers, when he and Vico separated, Vico reminded him:

"The shell pendant can purify the magic of darkness, but it can be used once every hour at most. If you don’t drink water, it will have no effect. Once you don’t drink water for more than six hours, it will temporarily fail. And you have accumulated dark magic in 6 hours, Will immediately cause a bad disaster."

"So, drink plenty of water at the right time! Hot or cold water is fine, soaking in water is better."

"Ok."

Merlin took another bottle of water from his pocket, raised his head, and poured it into his mouth.

This morning, he had already drunk 4 bottles of water. After drinking this bottle of water, Merlin felt that his stomach was banging.

So the first thing he did after entering the train was...

Go to the toilet.

—————————————

The railway network in North America was built very early, especially the closer it is to the western land, the more railroad lines here have a breath of time.

Many of the rail lines here were even built in the Western era. With the progress of the times, more forms of transportation are used by people. The railway that was once regarded as a symbol of civilized progress has also fallen into the disadvantages of this competition. .

After all, there is a more convenient and faster aviation system, and more and more cars, fewer and fewer people will choose to travel by train.

In the rhythmic rattle, Merlin leaned his head against the window, and he admired the scenery outside the window. After entering Texas, the scenery outside the window also became rough, as if to remind passengers that they had come to the wildest part of the country.

Merlin was relaxed, he had never been so relaxed.

Underwater Vico helped him solve a big trouble. Although the dark power in the body would occasionally restless, the doomed doom can already be eliminated by purification.

This allows Merlin to finally become a real tourist without having to worry about ruining everything inadvertently.

Once the person relaxes, he will involuntarily think about more things. When Merlin is immersed in the scenery of the west, a good voice sounds beside him.

"Hello, can I sit here?"

Merlin turned around and he saw a beautiful blonde chick carrying a bag and dressed as a traveler.

"Of course, sit down."

Merlin took his backpack and placed it under his feet. The blond woman sat beside him, and the kind of scent of the fragrance rushed into Merlin's nostrils, making him a little bit eager.

He is 19 years old and he is a healthy adult. Hormonal restlessness is still flowing in his body. In the past journey, it was not that there were no beautiful peers, but at that time, Mei Lin focused on dealing with his bad luck, and had no time to think about it.

Maybe...

It's time to make some friends.

"Is this the first time to the west?"

Merlin looked at the younger sister beside him, he asked, the younger sister put down the book she had just opened, and she turned to look at Meilin. Chatting with a man with a beautiful appearance and a hint of mystery is not an irresistible thing, so the younger sister replied:

"No, I was born in Texas."

"Oh, this is my first time."

Merlin said casually:

"I have traveled throughout the northeast, from Madison to Chicago, and from Maine to Florida. I have never seen such a landscape."

"Are you on a national trip? That's cool."

The younger sister amazed, her eyes fell on the pendant on Merlin's neck, she said:

"Nice necklace, is it a souvenir?"

"This, this is my lucky charm."

Merlin laughed:

"Let me think about it, um, I got it on a small beach in Florida...just after I spent almost 6 hours arriving in Florida from Maine."

"6 hours? You are really kidding."

The younger sister was amused, and she smiled back and forth:

"Are you on a space shuttle?"

"No, it's cooler than that!"

The eyes behind Merlin's sunglasses narrowed. He lowered his voice, just like sharing a secret, and said to the young lady around him:

"I was sitting on the dolphin and swam all the way."

"Hahaha, you are so humorous."

The boring journey has become pleasant in the two young people's jokes and sharing with each other. According to the theory of relativity, in a cheerful mood, time will pass very quickly.

"Have you heard of the bombing in Chicago? I am a personal experience."

At St. Austin Station, Merlin carrying a backpack and holding the arm of a blonde girl said softly:

"Shall we find a place to rest. By the way, I will share with you all the secrets I know."

"Are you asking me? Merlin."

The chick looked back at Merlin, she had a playful smile, she said:

"Do you think I am the kind of girl who wanders?"

"Of course you are not."

Merlin took her hand and walked naturally to the hotel outside the station. He said:

"Neither am I...but that doesn't prevent us from sharing each other's secrets. You see, this is just a simple chat."

"So if it's just a simple chat, let's go next time, if we are destined to see you again. Not to mention..."

The beautiful lady gently shook Merlin's hand away. She looked at the watch on her wrist and smiled at Merlin:

"I still have some things to do."

After talking, the beautiful woman brushed her blond hair, stuffed something into Merlin's hand, gave him a kiss, and dragged a slightly heavy salute to turn away.

"Ok."

Merlin was not disappointed. He looked at what was in his hand. It was a piece of paper with a name and a series of phone numbers, and a message:

"Merlin, your hidden eyes should be beautiful... remember to contact me.-Inez Temple, your friend in Texas."

"Ah, good people, good times."

Merlin held the note and walked outside the station. He looked at the city shrouded in sunlight outside, and he shook his head:

"But stop here, cute girl Temple...I don't want to hurt you."

When he was finished, he tore the note and threw it into the trash can, then took his backpack and turned to leave.

It’s really easy to share stories with people, but after relaxing, it’s time to get things done.

He came to the west, not just for fun.

———————————————————

The desert area of ​​Texas, located in the northwestern part of this wild land, takes a train from St. Austin and takes about several hours to arrive.

There is Merlin's destination.

He knew from Bruce that in the fall of the Western era, there have been many supernatural events. To this day, there are still many spiritual stories spread among the local population.

Wheatfield demons, desert wizards, cemetery ghosts, and the most famous local legends...evil knights.

It is said that there is a ruined town known as haunted near the most remote part of the desert. It is said that it suffered a terrible curse, and the ghosts of people were trapped there and could not be free. The ghost place was called San Van Gonzale. Merlin took two days to get there, but he dared not walk into the ruins of the town.

He could see things that ordinary people couldn't see. When he looked at the ruins of the wild town, he saw the dense wraiths trapped in the ruins. Their faces were twisted and roared wildly, but they couldn't rush. Out of that ruin.

Even if it was just close, Merlin could feel the breeze in that place, and the ghosts roared like real **** on earth.

That's where Merlin can't go yet.

Now, he has no ability to enter into it to find hidden secrets.

But the existence of this ruin proves that all the legends of this place are traceable. This gave Merlin hope that what he was most afraid of was the same as before.

Merlin wrote the dangerous San Van Gonzaga on the notebook that he carried with him. This is a supernatural zone. In the future, it will be powerful, but you can come back and see it.

He drove the rented car and moved along the desert road to the nearest city.

If Saint Gonzalez exists, it means that the evil spirit knight related to this town also exists. He has to go to the nearby city library to find the clues he may want.

But when Merlin drove through a small town, he suddenly felt a familiar force.

Dim and gloomy, like a snake crawling on the ground.

That is magic, the magic of darkness is not the same as the dark power in his body, but it should all come from the same place.

hell.

This made Merlin stop the car, he opened the window and looked at the place where the power was radiated, it was a circus under the night. The burning of the lights and the big bonfire made the circus shining very lively, even though it was already at night, there were still many tourists.

Obviously, the performers of this circus must be super skillful, or gimmicky.

Merlin entered the circus following the bustling crowd. On the grass outside the town, there were a number of temporary tents that were set up, and that was the venue for the performance. There were one or two exclamations in the tent from time to time, but this did not disturb Merlin's search. He walked in the direction of the weak dark force and walked all the way to the inside of the circus. This should be a place for employees to rest.

Compared to the lively scene outside, this place is very calm.

He took off his sunglasses. In the darkness, the pupils of his eyes changed, and the things in the night before him were unscathed. The magic that extended in the night also appeared in Merlin's eyes.

It was like a series of footprints leading to a big tent with lights on.

Merlin covered the shadow on his body and walked silently. When he walked to the entrance of the tent, he saw... a very familiar scene.

A white-haired old man in a suit and robes, leaning on a cane, was handing something to the young man with a blank face in front of him. This scene made Merlin fall into a strong sense of both eyes. , Forced to sign the **** contract.

Most importantly, the young man did not discover the true identity of the old man in front of him, but Merlin did.

In the state of spiritual vision, he saw a phantom, a red figure burning with **** fire, with wings on its back. It has sharp horns, curved hooves, and a tail swaying in the air.

That's... a real devil.

This scene is like everything that Merlin has experienced at midnight a year ago.

A mortal is being tempted by the devil to sign the devil's contract, a young man's life is being destroyed, and a cursed soul like him is about to be born.

This should not appear!

Seeing that the young man reached for the golden scroll in the old man's hand, Merlin could no longer restrain his inner anger. He stood up from the darkness and shouted loudly:

"No! Don't touch it!"
