Meiman: I was a policeman in Gotham

Chapter 143 Constantine: Me and My Last Bet
"The Justice League has already taken the lead and delivered it."

In the collection room of Wayne Manor, Constantine picked up a priceless pure gold vase and shook out the soot in it.

"They can't delay for long."

Alfred was puzzled, all wireless communication was blocked, where did Constantine receive the news.

"Science has scientific means, and mages have methods of mages. The black mist that interferes with electronic communication is also a kind of magic power in essence, but this magic power does not exist on our earth. When it is mixed in suddenly, it will naturally bring various influences."

Constantine pinched the seal and opened a crack that smelled of sulfur: "But it is only limited to the earth, and other planes have not been affected. It is better to say that hell is now in full bloom, and the devils are discussing the Holy Lord." Where the hell is it?"

From the other side of the rift came bursts of sluggish sounds, as well as all kinds of unsavory obscenities. Alfred had already covered his ears, but those words still came into his ears clearly, and he could not Understanding the language of the devil, I just feel dizzy.

Alfred thought that Constantine was negotiating with the devil in hell, so he could only suppress the discomfort.

Constantine stepped through the gap and came to a dilapidated tavern, which was full of strange demons, some from hell, and some from other dimensions, but most of them were small fish and shrimps, demons with names Not many.

"Look, it's Constantine. How dare you step into hell? Could it be that you have recovered your conscience that was taken away by dogs and returned to pay off your debts?" A little devil with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was squatting on the bar. He was the first to spot Constantine. .

The bartender is a succubus, she sarcastically said: "Don't talk nonsense, Hughis, Konstantin doesn't have a conscience, even if he did, it must have been mortgaged by him with the devil, and it has to be something like Xu Sanjia."

"Raitili, you really understand me." Ignoring the contemptuous gazes of others, Constantine threw a silver coin into the broken box by the door, and sat down in front of her without hesitation, "My conscience is in Lucifer's heart." Then, I came here this time to redeem it."

Hearing Constantine calling the Lord of Hell's real name directly, Laitili and all the demons in the tavern were frightened into a cold sweat.

The devil's real name cannot be said casually, especially in hell. Constantine still shouts the name of the Lord of Hell. Even though Lucifer has given up the throne, his strength has not dropped a bit. Anyone who mentions him will be caught .

"Are you crazy, Constantine, the lord will hear it." Laidili's voice became much softer.

Constantine said nonchalantly, "All I want is for him to hear, oh, he's already here."

It wasn't until Constantine finished speaking that the demons in the tavern realized that a blond man was sitting next to Constantine, and they all dared not make a single movement as if the stop button had been pressed.

They are waiting for the king's order, leave, stay, no matter what the order is, they must obey, even if they are asked to wipe their necks, they will not hesitate, because if they don't die at this time, death will become something they will never be able to touch phantom.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

Constantine tapped on the bar in front of Lucifer, "Do you understand the rules here, you have to put in coins first, that's the entrance fee."

Lucifer raised his head, revealing a nearly perfect face, his voice was as refreshing as a clear spring: "Is that so?"

Lei Dili scolded Constantine from the bottom of her heart, but she still had a perfect smile on the surface: "There is indeed such a rule, but you definitely don't have to abide by it, my lord..."

"No, it's better to abide by the rules," Lucifer said softly, "otherwise it will be my fate."

No one dared to answer Lucifer's words, but Constantine dared. His courage changed depending on the situation: "Knowing that it will not end well, so hurry up and put in coins. It's procrastinating. No wonder the rebellion failed."

When all the demons were already thinking about how and how many times he would die, Lucifer showed no embarrassment on his face. The illusory black wings behind him shook slightly, and a piece of black feather fell down and turned into a silver coin, flying into the Inside the box at the door.

"Don't be afraid, Laidili," Constantine seemed to have expected it, and he comforted: "After this guy retired, he opened a bar in the world, regardless of personality, you are peers and equal, and you There are far more customers here than there are.”

Even when Constantine mentioned the old incident of disobedience to God, Lucifer acted like a gentleman, but Constantine only commented on the operation of the bar, and Lucifer became impatient on the spot.

"If you want to continue the conversation, it's best not to mention the bar." Lucifer threatened with a smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, all the demons had an idea in their hearts. It seems that Lucifer's bar is not doing well.

In the next second, all the demons disappeared without a trace, leaving Laetili frozen in place, and Lucifer returned to his original calmness.

"You asked me to come, you must have something to ask for, tell me, what price you can pay."

Constantine took a sharp puff of his cigarette, but instead of looking at Lucifer, he asked Laidili, "What's going on now?"

Lei Dili was still in a daze at the moment, and subconsciously replied: "Bet on how long the Holy Lord can rule the world, and the maximum bet is currently three hundred souls of sinners...uh."

Speaking of Lei Tili returning to her senses, she quietly added: "But the person who made the bet...is gone, and the bet has been voided."

Lei Dili secretly despised it, and didn't know who caused it.

"That's such a pity."

Constantine didn't have the consciousness of the instigator at all, he turned to Lucifer: "Are you interested in starting a new game with me?"

After Lucifer thought about it for a while, he understood Constantine's intentions: "You want me to get involved and increase the variables in the game, so as to buy time for your defeated companions?
No, I won't make it your way, Konstantin, as you said, I'm retired, do you know how long I've been annoyed by the Endless family shit? "

Constantine waited for Lucifer to finish speaking, and then said calmly: "Life in the world has made you more human, Lucifer, but you are still the most perfect angel created by God. You will not lie, so I can only talk about him from left to right.

Then let me make it clear, I take the soul fragments of the Sangongmo as a bet, how about it. "

Lucifer is silent, he is the most perfect creation, he can penetrate all the past and future, but he rarely does that, because it is "very boring", and now, he just does it.

His eyes glowed white, and in an instant he reviewed the history of the Lord in this world so far, and then he nodded to Constantine.

"Okay, I accept this bet, then, how accurate is the time of betting, year? month? day?"

Constantine shook his head and said, "No, this is not the game I bet with you."

"Then what do you want to bet?" Lucifer was very surprised, he thought he had guessed what Constantine was thinking.

This man claims to be depraved, but in fact his soul has the potential to become a "saint", otherwise there would not be so many demons signing contracts with him. Constantine has been shouldering the responsibility of "witness" for many years. In hell and on earth, he has witnessed many tragedies and is helpless. He always tries his best to save those poor people, but he always fails and can only fall into painful self-blame.

It is impossible for Constantine to stand idly by his friends and partners, he will definitely use his own hands to interfere with the Holy Lord, Lucifer firmly believed, and now he is shaken.

Constantine extinguished the cigarette: "I've heard from the succubi that you have the highest intelligence and are proficient in almost all magic, but I don't believe that no one in this world has true omniscience except God, and I also used The word "almost".

So I brought a [unsolvable] curse, as long as you can undo it, the soul of the Three Palace Demon will belong to you, if not, then you have to give your power... to me forever. "

Seeing nothing, Constantine finally made his request.

Lucifer smiled confidently: "You are right, I am omniscient below my father, but this includes all magic, Constantine, do you think magic has a long history?
1 years? 10 years?I have controlled hell since billions of years ago, and magic is just a slightly larger wave in the years. I appreciate the wisdom contained in it, so I took another look, and magic itself opened its mysteries to me. "

Throughout the story, Lucifer expresses only one meaning, he is sure to win.

Constantine smiled indifferently and said: "Don't be so full, Lucifer, there are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains, and there are many things you don't know.

follow me. "

When Constantine returned to the world from hell, he stuck his head out and immediately asked Alfred, who was waiting by the side, "How long have I been away?"

Alfred looked at him suspiciously: "About 15 minutes."

Constantine let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the words, and his expression became more relaxed, while Lucifer's expression after him became worse.

One minute in hell is equivalent to one day in the world, but the arrival of Lucifer has brought the time flow of the two into agreement. No wonder Constantine yelled Lucifer's name as soon as he entered the door. He wished that Lucifer would come over quickly.

In other words, Lucifer has been used by Constantine unknowingly.

Alfred also noticed Lucifer behind Constantine. He picked up the white cloth in his hand and prepared seats and drinks for the two of them.

"Perfect etiquette, Mr. Butler." Lucifer took a sip of coffee, he was very satisfied with Alfred's hospitality.

"Do you have any ideas about changing the owner?"

Alfred replied neither humble nor overbearing: "I am loyal to the Wayne family."

Lucifer didn't care about his rejection, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's just an extra 13 years."

Constantine raised his brows when he heard this, and quickly recovered his expression. He brought Lucifer to the statue of the Holy Lord.

"That's it? I can indeed feel a powerful magic from inside, which has reached the level of the multiverse, but it's not enough to help you win this war...very good."

After confirming this, Lucifer put his hand on the dragon's head. He can sort out the history of 200 billion years in one second, but this time he thought for a full minute.

He really wanted to win Constantine.

The spell is the imprint left by the caster. Lucifer traced back to a strange time and space through the seal on the statue. A man in a green robe appeared in front of Lucifer. Behind the man stood two soldiers holding banners. He chanted a spell in his mouth, and borrowed the power of the army to condense a powerful spell, which turned into light and irradiated it.

This is the Lord's perspective, so Lucifer was shot in the face, and he felt the spell carefully.

"A curse from another world is indeed beyond my omniscience, no, even my father... But it's just "unknown", not unrecognizable, I just need a little time to be able to..."

Lucifer put his finger on each of the two eyes of the dragon's head, and the statue trembled suddenly, the texture of the stone faded, replaced by flesh and blood.

Jin Long slowly opened his eyes.

"Untangled."

"Unlocked!"

Constantine hugged the dragon's head excitedly: "How do you feel, can you hear me?"

This is Constantine's plan. First let Qin Su bypass the seal and enter the statue in the form of fragments, then "seduce" Lucifer, the strongest existence under God, to break the spell, and then call Qin Su to wake up.

This order cannot be wrong, once Lucifer senses the existence of Qin Su, he will not be able to deal with this round.

There is still a time limit for this plan. Constantine must complete the first two steps before Qin Su's soul fragments are completely melted by magic power, otherwise Constantine will only get a "blank paper" with no soul and no personality. ".

Seeing Constantine's earnest gesture, Lucifer's expression became indifferent, and he was tricked a second time, and he fell on the same person twice in the same day.

With Constantine's assistance, Qin Su's soul immersed in magic power was gradually integrated. It still took some time to wait, but there was no risk of losing her personality.

Confirming that Qin Su is okay, Constantine wiped the sweat off his forehead, this time he didn't mess up.

However, when Constantine blinked again, he was already in a modern bar.

A light shone on the piano in the center of the stage. Lucifer sat in front of the piano, his fingertips leaping rapidly on the keys, and notes jumped out of the piano one by one, revolving around Constantine and Lucifer.

"You have won, Lucifer," Constantine forced himself to remain calm, "I will give you the soul fragment of the Sangong Mo after the matter is over."

"One hundred and three years."

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Lucifer closed his eyes and said, "The Holy Lord will rule this world for 103 years. As for the bet, what do you want, Constantine."

Lucifer showed the generosity of the former Lord of Hell, indicating that Constantine could make requests at will, but he did not give Constantine the right to refuse.

"It seems that I have no choice." Constantine knew that he had to accept this game, and he had to win.

"Since you want to gamble, then bet bigger!" Constantine showed the madness that a gambler should have, his eyes were red.

"You pressed for 103 years, I pressed for 24 hours!

Within 24 hours, if Holy Lord is not defeated by Qin Su, I will give you my love! "

This is not a meme, nor is it bad. Constantine saw Qin Su's madness. As a former mental patient, he was also infected by Qin Su's madness.

"Love is a very broad category. Compared with your battered soul, this is indeed something that can be recycled. Although your love is worthless, it is a punishment for you."

Lucifer seems to have returned to the past and turned back into the king of hell who judged the good and evil of all worlds.

"Then what do you want? What can I give you?"

"Give me back my conscience."

"What?" Lucifer frowned, this thing...does it really exist?

Constantine lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. The smoke he exhaled outlined an immature face.

"Give her back to me, she is my conscience, she is little Astra, she was taken by hell, can you give her back to me?"

A white light flashed in Lucifer's eyes, and he penetrated Constantine's past, the turning point in his life, the "Newcastle" incident, and it was after this incident that Constantine changed from an extremely self-centered wanderer to a Painful guilty.

"A little girl who was abused at home, because of your wrong summoning ceremony, she fell to hell forever, no wonder you are so taboo about magic...Little Astra is in Negal's hands, I can bring her back for you."

At this point, the bet is reached.

The pressure of the Lord of Hell on Lucifer dissipated in an instant, and he turned back into a gentle bar owner. He walked to the bar and motioned for Constantine to follow.

"I know you're worried that I'll cheat, Konstantin, so I'll stay here with you from now on."

He snapped his fingers, and a picture appeared on the TV with no signal, and Constantine could clearly see everyone on it.

The Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Superman, all members of the Justice League fell before the Lord.

"You see, the Justice League failed, they always fail, and they always succeed because of the Father's will, but this time is different, the special constitution of the body of the Holy Lord makes him unaffected.

Now there is no justice or evil. Everything will be placed on the balance of war like a weight. Whoever is stronger and who can seize the opportunity will be the final winner. "

Every time there is a major event, the Justice League practice is deflated first, and then regrouped under Batman's organization, but this time, it seems that they failed to stand up again, as Lucifer said.

Constantine randomly picked two bottles of the most expensive wine from the wine cabinet, returned to his seat, and poured a glass for Lucifer and himself.

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, Lucifer, 24 hours is a long time."

"I like your hard mouth, so that when you lose the bet, your pain and regret will taste more sweet...Hey, drink slowly, do you know how to taste wine!" Lucifer looked at it distressedly Constantine gulped down his own famous wine, and he himself sipped it in small sips.

Suddenly Lucifer raised his head, the white light in his eyes was dispelled, and he couldn't see the future.

"he came."

……

On the floating island, the Holy Master threw aside the Wonder Woman he was holding, and also looked up at the sky. In the black air he released, there was some other kind of power mixed in, which he was familiar with.

"shadow……"

The black shadows began to expand rapidly, grow and split, and turned into slender ghosts, trying to cover the entire sky, but under the control of the Lord's mind, the dragon army and the shadow army fought against each other.

The shadow revolved around a certain point, and at a certain moment, the majestic figure had already arrived in front of the Holy Master.

"I am coming."
