"It's almost time, let's do it!"

Miao Mu looked at the watch in the car and saw that it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the church across the street had been turned off.

Only a few lights inside were still on, and from a distance, they looked like burning candles.

Miao Mu Put on the hood, get out of the car, and open the trunk. It turns out that the trunk seems to be stuck.

"What the hell? Has it been broken?" Miao Mu muttered to himself, then raised his foot and kicked the trunk.

Today is a really unlucky day. I met Constantine, and Miao Mu had already made up his mind to poach the things and they would run away.

Los Angeles really can't stay any longer. Who knows why Constantine is here? Really, Miao Mu thought to himself.

With a bang, the trunk door popped open.

Jason looked in the rearview mirror, pulled out the gauze from his nose, replaced it with two more, put on a mask, and got out of the car.

Miao Mu carried the ax and shovel and was ready. The two of them went as planned. Jason went over to watch while Miao Mu worked.

Jason was carrying a glass wine bottle and pretending to be a drunkard walking around. Although he was smaller, he looked like that... If he didn't win the Best Actor Award, it would be really humiliating.

If Jason knew what Miao Mu was thinking, he would definitely laugh. He was wandering on the streets of Gotham. What kind of drunkard had he never seen?

I've even seen drug addicts who got high and ran into traffic and were knocked out more than once.

Miao Mu quietly ran under the big tree, closed his eyes and determined the location of the thing, then picked up the ax and chopped it down. It was a bit of a miscalculation. I should have just bought a chainsaw.

Thinking of the noise, which was even louder now, Miao Mu started sweating on his forehead, so he swung the round ax and chopped wildly.

It took only a minute to cut down, and a hole was made under the root of the tree. I inserted a pointed shovel into it, twisted it, and pushed out a handful of soil.

I also hit a hard object. Miao Mu quickly swung the ax at the root of the tree and hit it twice again, and the object came out.

Miao Mu stretched out his hand and grabbed it. It was a box? It felt very solid, like wood. Things should be inside.

Grabbing the box, Miao Mu gritted his teeth and pulled hard, pulling the box out, taking advantage of the candlelight shining in the church.

It can be seen that this is a dark red wooden box. Miao Mu opened the lid and found only one gold coin inside. He took it into his hand.

[God Coin: The alchemy wishing object has a 100% chance of realizing the wish if it is on the front, and a 50% chance of realizing the wish if it is on the back. It is a masterpiece of an alchemist master, but it did not realize his wish.]

Make a wish?

Miao Mu took the gold coin and raised his hand to grab the necklace that was hung around his neck. There was also a Wayne Ring on it, which was also a wish, but that one was a relic...

This is... making a wish? 100% heads, 50% tails?

Miao Mu looked at the gold coin, which exuded the light of gold under the bright light. On the front was a sacred angel with wings spread, on the back was only half of the angel pattern, and the other half was the devil.

"What are you looking at..."

Suddenly a voice sounded in Miao Mu's ears. Miao Mu jumped up in fright and punched him.

The man bent down and picked up the gold coins on the ground. He just happened to avoid Miao Mu's punch, just like a coincidence.

Miao Mu swept over with another leg. The man held the gold coin and looked up, as if he wanted to get closer to the light to see.

And he dodged the sweeping leg just in time.

At this moment, Miao Mu felt like he wanted to run away. He didn't believe in any damn coincidences.

And he didn't feel this person coming at all. Although the effect of True Eye had ended, Miao Mu didn't hear any sound at all, and his sixth sense didn't respond.

This person seemed to appear suddenly.

What's more, Jason did not sound an alarm. In this case, there are only two possibilities. First, this person is very strong...

In the second case, the other party is not a human being...

Miao Mu put aside the idea of drawing a gun and shot, and looked seriously at the man in front of him. He was wearing a black tuxedo. His age could not be seen, but... this man looked very special.

The face is as perfect as a sculpture carved with a knife and an axe. It is a very neutral face, with both the femininity of a woman and the strength of a man. It is hard to imagine that there is such a perfectly long... person.

"Is this your thing?" The man turned around and asked, with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were empty.

Miao Mu couldn't see his own reflection in his eyes. After hearing his inquiry.

Miao Mu thought for a moment and then admitted, "This is mine."

"A very interesting gadget." The man raised his hand and looked at the angel on the front of the gold coin, then at the half-angel on the back, and finally at the half-demon with a disdainful smile on his face.

"I'll give it back to you. Don't dig holes at night anymore."

The gold coin drew an arc in the air and landed steadily in Miao Mu's hand. Miao Mu looked at the person in front of him, nodded politely, and quickly turned around and ran out.

Jason was leaning on the side of the road, holding a wine bottle and shaking it. He saw Miao Mu running over and said quickly, "Did you get the stuff?"

"How the hell are you looking at people? They've all passed by! You didn't even give me a warning." Miao Mu complained angrily, dragging Jason away quickly, almost starting to run.

"People?" Jason turned to look at the big tree, scanning the empty space. Where is there anyone?

Miao Mu hurriedly dragged Jason to the Beetle and reached out to pull the door. The door was stuck again. Miao Mu was so angry and anxious that he kicked it and the door was deformed.

He opened the car door with a click and stuffed Jason in. Jason also felt something was wrong, so he climbed into the passenger seat in an extremely cooperative manner.

Sitting in the passenger seat, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't ask, nothing happened..."

Miao Mu sat in the driver's seat, took a long breath, closed the door, turned around and left.

It wasn't until the Beetle drove two blocks away that Miao Mu relaxed and began to think about...

What did you encounter just now?

Human? Ghost? Monster? Demon? Or... angel?

Looking back at that disdainful smile, Miao Mu was basically sure that this was an angel... or an angel in the world...

There are indeed angels in DC Universe, and there are also a large number of half-angels, maintaining the balance between Heaven and Hell.

But compared to this...

Miao Mu looked at God Coin in his hand, and the scenes he encountered today flashed before his eyes.

The red light came on at the intersection ahead, Miao Mu stepped on the brakes, causing the Beetle to stop, and God Coin flew away with his fingers, perhaps granting his wish.

"I want to... become stronger!"

No strength, no face, no angels, no demons, if I get angry I will destroy them all!

The lion in Miao Mu's heart roared, God Coin flew high and fell in the air, head on!

The angel with outstretched wings on the front seemed to be on fire, and a devil's pattern emerged on it.

[Ding! Adventure Treasure has been refreshed--please explore by yourself]

Three consecutive sounds echoed in Miao Mu's mind. Miao Mu just looked at the gold coins in his hands that changed appearance.

100% of the wish on the front is gone, and on the back is...Miao Mu turned the gold coin over and looked at the half angel pattern.

There is only a 50% wish success rate.

And... looking at the devil pattern on the front, Miao Mu didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he could see the eyes of the devil inside, eyes like flowing magma.

"Here you go, keep it well." Miao Mu flicked the God Coin in his hand, and it fell into Jason's hand.

"There is a 50% chance that a wish can be fulfilled. Don't make a wish now. There is a 150% chance that it will not succeed. Save it for when you encounter difficulties that you cannot overcome."

Jason looked at the gold coins in his hand, and then looked at Miao Mu's expression as he drove. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that Miao Mu had changed a little, but he couldn't tell where it had changed.

But Jason holds this gold coin tightly in his hand.
