A basin of water and a black cat.
There was no need to elaborate on the function of water.
The main point was this black cat!
This black cat had appeared in << Hell's Detective >. The original version of Jimmy Constantine had carried this black cat into hell and found the suicide Isabella.
Because this cat was raised by Isabella, it had a special connection with Angela. It could help Lod find the missing Angela's soul in hell!
Without the guidance of the black cat, it was impossible for Lod to find a person's soul in the vast and endless hell.
"Are you ready, Lod?"
Constantine took a deep breath and said, "First of all, according to what I said, soak your feet in the water basin, hold this black cat, and look straight into its eyes."
Then, try to empty your mind, don't have any distracting thoughts, and imagine that you are in a dark
"Clear your mind and imagine hollow? It doesn't sound difficult." Lod thought about it and felt that it was not difficult.
[It is not as simple as you think. Because the structure of the human brain is very complicated. The more you want to avoid something, the more the brain will remind you repeatedly. ]
Constantine pursed his lips, looking as though he was saying, "Don't brag and force everyone to be good friends." "When I first tried, it took me four to five hours to clear my mind."
-Clear my brain. This condition seemed simple, but it was actually very difficult to achieve!
Unless it was someone who had undergone professional training, it was actually very difficult for ordinary people to empty their minds in a short period of time and clear out those miscellaneous thoughts!
But in fact, the state that Constantine mentioned was extremely similar to the state of 'Sword meditation' that death god usually talked to zanpakuto about. Both of them needed to clear their own distracting thoughts, and their brains were in a state of emptiness.
Lod smiled without saying a word, then patted Nemu on the head and instructed, "Nemu, go to the side first and wait for brother."
"Okay, brother."
Nemu nodded obediently, then walked to the side and waited quietly.
"This little girl... is she wary of me?" Constantine frowned slightly. He noticed that Nemu was standing right behind him, and the distance was no more than two meters.
Two meters was a very dangerous distance!
If the other party launched an attack at this distance, it would be very difficult for him to react!
When Nemu saw Constantine looking at her, her eyes curved into a crescent moon and two shallow dimples appeared on her face. She said cutely, "Uncle better not have any crooked thoughts ---Otherwise, Nemu will definitely make your death very ugly!"
It was not that Nemu was lying, but that she had sufficient self-confidence.
Although Nemu was usually only responsible for acting cute and playing tricks, occasionally studying some things, but don't forget that her real identity was death god!
If it were at a different time and place without any restrictions, it would be almost impossible for Nemu to defeat Constantine.
But now that Constantine was close at hand and without any tricks, Nemu was confident that he could kill Constantine in an instant!
"... No, no, no, you misunderstood me."
Constantine's eyes twitched, and he waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that he absolutely had no malice towards Lod.
Although Nemu had been acting very ordinary until now, his instinct for many years of living told him that it was best not to provoke this cute but actually black-bellied scary loli. Otherwise, he would really die!
Lod saw all of this, but he did not say anything to stop it, because letting Nemu monitor Constantine was his idea.
As the saying goes, one must be wary of others!
Especially when it came to Constantine, a hero who was famous for his deception skills.
Therefore, Lod had to set up a plan in advance to prevent himself from being cheated by Constantine.
Constantine was so smart that he saw through their thoughts at a glance.
Besides...
Although Lod and Nemu were on guard against him, wasn't he on guard against Lod and Nemu as well?
Everyone was well aware of this point, but they just didn't want to break this membrane.
"Get ready, let's begin." Constantine urged, "If we delay for a minute, Angela's danger level in hell will increase a little."
Following Constantine's instructions, Lod first soaked his feet in the water basin, then picked up the black cat and looked straight into its eyes.
Clear all distracting thoughts, imagine hollow's absence of darkness, and immerse his mind in it, putting his soul in a state of 'hollow'
It didn't take long for him to enter the state.
"You entered the state so quickly?" Constantine raised an eyebrow. He was a little surprised. He thought it would take a long time, but he didn't expect it to succeed in one go!
Constantine walked up to Lod and took a deep breath. "I'm going to start. Don't disturb me during the ceremony. Otherwise, I won't be responsible for any accidents."
"Don't worry."
Nemu's eyes were slightly cold. With a temperament that completely did not match his age, he said, "With me here, no one can disturb you."
"That's good. I hope it is as you say."
Constantine shrugged and cut his right thumb. He wiped a drop of blood between Lod's eyebrows and chanted the Latin incantation.
In an ethereal state, Lod could clearly sense that the blood that dripped between his eyebrows and another distant strange dimension had established some kind of indescribable special connection!
Then...
Lod felt a certain power being pulled out of his soul in an instant. Then, it followed Constantine's blood and turned into a stream of light, rushing to that distant and unfamiliar dimension!
...
Hell!
The eternal dusk, as well as the smell of decay, filled any corner of the world.
"As expected, I've become death god."
Lod found that he was wearing a custom-made Death Tyrant outfit, and there was a short sword at his waist.
"Meow ---"
A cat's meow suddenly sounded. Lod looked down and saw that the black cat was rubbing its head against his trousers.
Lod squatted down and stroked the black cat. Then, he said, "Be good ---Take me to Angela, understand?"
"Meow ---Woo ---"
This black cat was very intelligent, as if it really understood his words. It gently licked Lod's palm and then ran in a direction!
After running for a distance, seeing that Lod did not follow, the black cat turned around and looked at him. Its two golden pupils revealed a very human-like color.
"..."
The corner of Lod's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself, this cat couldn't have been Shihouin Yoruichi, right?
