Knights of DC

Chapter 188 Constantine
Downstairs in this residential building, John threw the cigarette butt he was smoking on the ground, and rubbed it twice with his thick leather shoes, and then walked upstairs contentedly, and Chas, who was standing upwind of John, was also there. After the smell of smoke dissipated, he followed John closely, and followed him into this somewhat aging residential apartment building, with the sad look on his face not weakening at all.On the other hand, John, after entering, lit a cigarette for himself again. In just ten minutes, he had three cigarettes in a row. With such an amount of smoking, it is no wonder that he died of lung cancer.

Second-hand smoke slapped Chas in the face again, but this time he didn't have much emotion, instead he walked up to John and asked, "John, you agreed to help me bring my daughter back, I can come to Los Angeles I understand, but what are you doing here?"

"Relax, old man, don't be so sad, we came from London to L.A., this city doesn't come here with a vendetta. You see, Lena's soul is not in her body, and as far as I can find The last clue is Los Angeles, and here is where Tracy used to stay, we have to find some clues."

After comforting his old friend for a while, John continued to walk upstairs, and the conversation between him and his old friend Chas in the corridor also attracted the attention of the residents living here. The eyes made Chas on the side feel a little flustered.

"John, I feel something is wrong, this can't be a trap."

"Who has nothing to do and uses an old residential building as a trap."

Reluctantly speaking, John also stopped near the middle of the residential building, frowning, because there were many empty rooms in this building, and he didn't know which one was the room where his old friend's daughter stayed.But this is not a problem for him, he is a magician, using magic to find a lost soul is not a problem, but he is very repulsed to use magic to solve problems.

Magic is indeed a discipline that violates the science that humans currently know, but it obeys a law most of the time, the law of energy conservation. If you want to use magic to help you do something, you have to pay first .It may be your soul, or it may be your next life. Although this equivalent exchange condition is a bit ridiculous, it is not unreasonable.

The magic of finding a lost soul can be big or small, because you don’t know where the soul has gone. If it’s just wandering outside, then everything is easy to say. John can still bear this price, but if someone If the demon lord took it away, it would be a big trouble.Just when John was worried about this option, an old man passing by suddenly pushed John, and pushed John directly to the front of a room. Chas, who was on the side, watched his friend being pushed and pushed, and hurried over to push him away. He got up, and at the same time cursed at the old man who pushed him.

"What's the matter with you!" However, Chas and Connor who got up saw a scene that surprised them.

The old man who pushed John did not leave just like that, but stood there blankly, pointing to the door in front of John and Chas, his eyes flashed a white light, and then his dull expression recovered, and he looked suspiciously at the door. Looking at John and Chas in front of him, he didn't understand why he was here, so he left quickly.

This weird phenomenon gave both Chas and Connor some headaches, especially Chas. He was not like his old friend, who often ran around in various supernatural events. The strange phenomenon of the old man made Chas faintly feel that he It seems that the matter of the daughter's soul leaving the body is not that simple.

"John, do you remember what I just said, I think this is a trap."

"So what, do you have a choice, Chase, Tracy is your daughter and not mine, why are you more timid than me?" After teasing his old friend, John pushed open the door in front of him, and the door It wasn't locked, but he didn't need to use magic to locate it anymore, because he found the room where his old friend's daughter used to stay.

Kicking open the door, the half-closed door slammed against the wall vigorously under John's foot, and the air flow driven by it caused a flurry of dust to fly in the empty room, covering their mouths and noses, John and Chas one after the other walked in.

"Ahem, John, what are you doing here?" Chas asked.

"Because this is the room Tracy stayed in. Although I don't know why it looks like no one has lived in it for several years, but if you want to find Tracy, you have to step on this point."

"Then what do you do next?"

"Close the door and make sure no one can come in."

ha?Chas was a little puzzled, but it was about his daughter's life and death, so he didn't refuse. He closed the door, pressed it with his body, and watched his friend John Constantine's next operation.John took out a bottle from his trench coat, which contained some kind of animal hair, took a pinch out of it, and sprinkled it around the room before finishing his work.

"Ten years of black cat hair. In Southeast Asia, black cats have always been considered as guides that can guide the living to see the souls of the dead. Although Tracy is not dead, they are all the same. The next step is the highlight."

After explaining a sentence, John stood in the center of the house, with his hands spread out, a golden magic circle condensed on his palm, and then a spell was uttered: Et pelagus modo retro et guidelines pro reditu errant meam illud (Note).As the spell ended, the black cat fur all over the house also burned, and the resulting smoke also formed an image in front of John and Chas.

A little girl with black hair, aged about 15 or 16, and another girl of a similar age, but with bluish hair, cuddled together. On the faces of the two girls, one was forcibly calm, and the other was fearful.

"Tracey!" Chas could tell at a glance that the girl who forcibly calmed down was his daughter lying unconscious on the hospital bed, so he couldn't help shouting, and was about to leave the door.

"Stay there for me! Chas, this is just the memory of Tracy recorded in this house, and it may be the place where Tracy's soul has been. If you rush over, it is easy to confuse the information!"

Hearing John's warning, Chas refrained from raising his footsteps and fixed himself there.And here, the displayed image is still evolving. Tracy and another unknown girl are snuggling together. Tracy, who is forced to calm down, blooms the same magic circle as John, as if defending against something, while a red The giant hand rushed over and brushed over Tracy's body, and then Tracy fell into another girl's arms unconsciously, no matter how the girl called, she didn't respond.

The formed image ended here, and the smoke dissipated like this, turning into a wisp of light smoke and disappearing into the room. At this moment, Chas knelt on the ground as if he had lost his strength, holding his head, hating himself for this Incompetence as a father.

"How did this happen, why! Why!"

"Calm down, Chas! It's not that bad. It's true that the owner of that big hand took Tracy's soul, but it's not necessarily his purpose. The girl next to Tracy is also the key. About her, you have no impression."

"I don't know. Reina and I have been separated for seven months. If it wasn't for her phone call, I wouldn't have known that something like this happened to Tracy in Los Angeles." Chas replied painfully.

"That girl, the girl who was with Tracy just now, do you know her!"

"Reina told me that she called Reina to help send her to the hospital. I heard from Reina that her name is Raven Rachel, and she is a friend Tracy met in Los Angeles. What's the matter? Question?"

"That's a big problem, old friend. But why Trish knows magic, I don't remember you being the one who would expose your children to magic, Chas!"

Chas raised his head and looked at John, "Have you forgotten the incident that happened ten years ago, John, that incident made us part ways, we all know what we lost in that exorcism, never After that, I burned everything about magic, only that one, the manuscript where you first learned magic, I kept it, but I didn't expect Tracy to learn these things."

"Okay, cheer up, old friend, we still have a lot to do." Listening to his friend's answer, John didn't know whether to scold or be relieved. His friend never forgot the relationship between the two of them. friendship, but my niece was implicated because of touching my magic manuscript.

Helping their friend up, the two walked out of the room. This time there was no clue, at least another girl might be the reason why his niece lost her soul, and what John had to do was to find out the reason.After getting in the car, John rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and started puffing again.

"Where are we going next, John."

"Find someone who can answer our questions, or the devil or an angel, forget it, go to the light, you can find it on the navigation."

"Understood." Holding the steering wheel, Chas was silent for a while, but still said: "Thank you, John, you are my best friend, it's nice to have you here."

"Don't say that, let me tell you in advance that if you want to save Tracy's soul, you have to sit down and prepare to lose everything."

"You can take my life anytime!"

"There are more important things than your life, old friend, let's go."

Hearing John's tricky words, Chas was also a little puzzled, and his grief was diluted a little. He didn't say much, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards the bar where his friend was.

　Character introduction, John Constantine, also known as Hell Detective, is one of the strongest magicians in the DC universe.But what's interesting is that this magician used very little magic, and basically relied on his own tricks and words to turn the devil and heaven around.At the same time, because of Constantine's deep abhorrence of demons, he can pay all prices, including killing his teammates, so he is also called "Zhakang." Chas, Constantine's only friend, because of an accident, Let the effect of a spell cast by Constantine on him be activated. The spell is roughly to let the curser absorb the dead life, and the accidental death made Chas, who should have died, absorb the lives of other survivors, one hundred , and at the same time let him have a superimposed power of [-] people (I added the setting.)
　　As for the incantation, in Latin, it translates to the Lord of the Return to guide the lost souls back. Zha Kang uses black magic, black magic, and there is not much to express in English, so I will restore it here.
