1936 AD.
Shanghai, China.
Pronov Tiklow was sitting in a ballroom in Shanghai, flipping through a newspaper.
The headline on the front page of the newspaper was an extremely shocking piece of news.
"Looking at what? Tyklo?"
At this time, a glass of wine was placed in front of Pronov, and then a blond Caucasian woman sat in front of him.
"I didn't expect such news to happen during my stay in China." Pronov Tiklow put the newspaper in front of the woman and said, "Miss Love Winrent, the United States should have the same attitude towards the Xi'an Incident as Does China agree?"
"I think it should be so. After all, Mr. Jiang is currently the supreme commander of China. Once something happens to Jiang, China will fall into greater turmoil."
Pronov patted his fingers on the eye-catching news report denouncing Zhang Xueliang's detention of Chiang Kai-shek on the photo, and then said: "I'm afraid the Japanese are the ones who want to see this situation the most... After all..."
However, when he said this, he suddenly looked behind him.
"Klaus Lee?"
Standing behind the two is a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit. Unlike these two Westerners, he is an authentic Chinese.
"Can I have a glass of whiskey?"
"sure."
A Chinese man named Klaus Lee sat in front of the two, and then looked at the report on the Xi'an Incident on December 12 published on the table.
"Li..." Pronov Tiklow suddenly asked with interest: "Do you know... what is the final result of this incident?"
"Without approval, I cannot tell you any future information."
"Okay... okay..." Pronov Tiklow shrugged and said, "I'm just a little concerned. Since the Northeast fell to the Japanese five years ago, we in the Soviet Union have been vigilant against these Japanese devils." .”
On the stage of Shanghai, the dancers danced lightly, and the beautiful women in cheongsams sang the beautiful "Singing Girls at the End of the World" in front of the stage. On the dance floor, people dance lightly, and foreigners account for a large proportion of them. Most of the topics that some upper-class people are currently communicating with are concentrated in Xi'an. Obviously, once Jiang, the supreme commander of China, made a mistake in Xi'an, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"As a stranger... I have to remind you two," Claus Lee continued, "The demons you are going to face are very powerful."
"I know. That's why the Tiklo Magic Society sent me here. I also know that the demons are powerful, and there is the hell king behind them."
Claus Lee glanced at the man and woman in front of him with blank, expressionless eyes, and then nodded.
"Then... I will begin to explain the resolution from the Vatican. This event will be jointly implemented by the European Exorcist Guild and the Ticcolo Society of Magic. In addition, Earl Tallo Klein will be in charge."
night.
The turbulent land of China is also cast a shadow at this time.
The moon is bright and bright, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow. I don't even know that the future will meet the turbulent waves of this country.
Claus Lee returned to his makeshift residence in the French Concession.
When he got home and just opened the door, he felt...
A distorted sense of confusion.
Indoors, there is no light at all. It was no use even if he went to unscrew the lamp.
He walked in a dark room, but he showed no fear.
And his consciousness is being linked to a farther future, a future that is nearly a hundred years away from now.
Providence, USA, has been invaded by hell and gradually swallowed up.
Claus Lee's footsteps have reached the center of the mansion.
Then, ahead of the turbulent darkness, shadows began to concentrate in a certain area. That area gradually formed a dark outline.
His eyes stared, and then he closed them.
In the darkness, he seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand. Even breathing is no longer free.
He knows... what a presence the comer is.
He looked at the dark silhouette in front of him, and then... he turned his head slowly.
He saw... there was another dark figure behind him.
"You are right?"
"Silas Bianchi?"
The black shadow slowly walked towards Claus Lee.
"You are not supposed to touch taboo territory. And now you have stepped into it."
"I don't need advice from the devil."
"A few years ago, the complete annihilation of the Ticcolo Magic Society in New England is the best proof. Also... this is not 'advice', but 'warning'."
In the 1930s, the Tyklo Magic Society pursued the Interstellar Wisdom Cult in New England, but in the end it was wiped out. After that, the Ticcolo Magic Society no longer dared to set foot in New England, and even the number of people stationed in North America was greatly reduced.
This made Claus Lee realize that the other party was not bluffing.
"You don't belong to this era, Claus Lee. What you are parasitic on now is just a past body."
Yes…
I don't belong to this era...
Of course, the same goes for Silas Bianchi.
And then... the figure of Silas Bianchi disappeared into the darkness.
At this moment, Claus Lee fully realized... what he called "the forbidden field".
Whether it is New England in the United States or Shanghai in China, he has felt that witches are everywhere. And... the bottomless darkness.
For China, 1936 was the prelude to the next eight extremely dark years, and for the Ticcolo Society of Magic, it was also the beginning of a devastating blow.
When he woke up, the silence in the room was suddenly broken by the ringing of the phone.
He walked slowly to the phone, and... picked up the receiver.
"Hey… "
"Li... run away, run away from Shanghai quickly! Quickly! Never come back again..."
This is the voice of Pronov Tiklo.
This is also his... the last voice left in this world.
His hand holding the receiver began to tremble, and his thoughts and consciousness began to be stripped away.
Then, the other end of the phone fell into a deathly silence.
Then, his own consciousness... was completely swallowed up...
When he returned to consciousness again, he had already returned to the moment when he was walking side by side with Constantine in the dark labyrinth.
This is... 21st century Providence.
Just now, his consciousness returned to Shanghai, China in the 1930s through the power of the great race of Yisi.
Shanghai in the last century... and Shanghai more than ten years ago...
The Tiklo Magic Society encountered a devastating disaster there. Pronov Tiklo, as the only first-class exorcist from the Soviet Union of the Tiklo Magic Society at that time, also fell there.
"Daughter of swelling..." At this moment, Klaus Lee uttered this word.
This was also the first time Constantine saw the expression of fear on Klaus' face!
