The rise of comics

The members of Task Force X present fell into silence for a while.

No one expected that just an underground mausoleum would be involved in such a fantasy.

But it didn't seem like Constantine was lying. Everyone present was an experienced expert who could judge whether a person was lying based on his or her facial expression, tone of voice, or even a tiny movement. Everyone has their own opinions on all kinds of things.Especially after Bruce, Freud and Harley exchanged glances, the three of them understood in their hearts. They all agreed that Constantine did not tell lies, or that what he said was very close. The truth, at least, has a high degree of credibility, which means that at least the fact that the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan is sleeping in this underground mausoleum is probably true.

"Then how do you know these things?"

Freud demanded.

"Haha, why do I know? Because I made a deal with Mephistopheles, the lord of hell."

"Even the Lord of Hell does not want Cain and Dracula to wake up. The consequences they will cause will most likely result in the destruction of life, and hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of people will die. Hell cannot be destroyed at the same time. If the mausoleum can accommodate so many dead souls, this will cause an imbalance in the entire hell. At that time, the dead souls will have nowhere to rest, and the world will become a new purgatory. Therefore, Mephistopheles and I signed a contract, and I will be responsible for guarding the tombs of the vampires, ensuring that The balance between earth and hell, and it will never come to earth before my death."

"You mean, if you die, Mephistopheles, the Lord of Hell, will be able to come to the human world?"

Bruce noticed something in Constantine's words.

"Mephistopheles, Lord of Hell? That's just a legend to scare children."

Floyd frowned.Of course there are ancient legends about hell in the world, but it is just like heaven and angels. It is just a legend in people's mouths. As a top mercenary killer known as the "Death Shooter", Floyd was active all over the world and saw many. Bizarre events, but he never believed that the so-called heaven and hell really existed.

"And the Earth Consciousness Gaia, these are just used to fool children, how can it be real?"

"What you don't believe doesn't exist? Then before the Kryptonians invaded the earth in large numbers, do you believe that there is a group of monsters like this hiding in a corner of the universe?"

Constantine mocked teasingly.

"Even the gods once existed in this world, be it Gaia or Hell, such as its ruler Mephistopheles, etc. Is there anything strange about this? There is a vast world in this universe. Dimension, you and I are just tiny specks of dust that are not worth mentioning. Just because you don’t know the infinity and greatness of this world doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.”

"However, even if it is a tiny dust, I still cherish my little life."

Constantine changed the subject.

"Who doesn't want to live? Within my capabilities, I try my best to ensure the balance between the world and hell, and protect the 'reality' in the eyes of you bastards, but now you want to break the balance of it all, Just to satisfy your own selfish desires, you want to find some bullshit treasure, especially you, Batman. I didn’t expect you to join the ranks of criminals. Haha, it seems that that ghost place in Gotham has eroded you. Save the world. Members of the Justice League have become associates of criminals. Sometimes the world is really worse than people imagine, isn't it?"

"okok. Wizard, no one here likes to hear your spiel. Tell him to shut up."

I have to admit that Constantine is indeed as eloquent and eloquent as people describe, and his noise is so noisy that it gives people a headache. Floyd turned his head slightly and gave an order to Killer Frost Caitlin on the side.

Then, I saw Caitlin slightly raising her slender arm, and her white onion-like fingertips slightly released a breath of ice. The huge ice cube wrapping Constantine spread upwards, directly covering Constantine. Ding's neck and the part to his mouth were all frozen.Only half of his face was left, so he wouldn't be completely sealed in the ice.

After glancing at Constantine, whose pupils were wide-eyed, and then at Bruce, who looked lost in thought, Freud temporarily walked out of the door.

After closing the door, he first raised his head and glanced at Captain Boomerang and Mark, who were patrolling (walking) outside the church in the distance. Then he raised his hand and placed it next to his ear, adjusting the channel to single-person communication line mode.

His deep voice reached the other end of the tiny wireless headset.

"Waller, you must have heard what this guy said."

There was a long silence on the other end of the headset.

"The fact that you don't speak proves that you also believe what this bastard said, or you definitely believe most of it."

Floyd's expression seemed to darken a little.

"Waller, I know you are different from us. We are just warriors and soldiers. Unlike you, a high-level government with huge resources, many secrets of this world are blocked by you and are in your own hands, right? ?”

He paused and continued.

"But I just want to know, did you know what Constantine said and still send us here? Those myths and legends, true ancestors, and damn vampires are involved."

"I do not know."

On the other end of the headset, Amanda Waller's voice suddenly sounded.

"Freud, I do know those messy legends, but I didn't know that they were so directly related to this mission. I never thought that one day I would really be able to come into contact with these things. Ancient times were a taboo. Many things from that era are still affecting today's human groups. Amazon Wonder Woman, Atlantis Aquaman, Alien Visitors from Mars, Extraterrestrial Invaders and the Origin of Vampires."

She was silent for a long moment.

"But I need it."

"what?"

Floyd almost knitted his brows together.

"Magic Lamp. [Isodar Shah Nunn]"

"Okay, are you really sure that this magical lamp that can grant all wishes exists in this vampire tomb? If it is just a scam, a scam to induce people to open the true ancestor's tomb, Waller, can you Can you bear the consequences of this risk?"

Floyd took a deep breath.

"I don't know how scary this bullshit true ancestor is, but even children know how powerful and omnipotent the so-called gods in myths and legends are. Especially in this world, there are people like Superman and Wonder Woman. Those kind of freak-like guys. When the Kryptonian spaceships rushed into the metropolis, those monsters unscrupulously destroyed all the aircraft and cannons in the city. To them, it was like scratching an itch, even if a nuclear bomb hit them. They can't play any role in it. All people can do is to flee in panic or just wait for death on the spot. Can you imagine such a disaster happening again?"

A few years ago, during the Kryptonian invasion, Floyd happened to be on a mission on the outskirts of Metropolis.

It is precisely because of this incident that his vision has changed differently since then, making him understand how insignificant his proud talents and abilities are. In front of those real monsters,' The title "Deathshooter" sounds very bluffing, but it's just a pitiful joke.

He had witnessed that devastating scene with his own eyes.

He saw no more than three or four Kryptonian warriors shuttled between the sky and the earth, as well as the battle between their leader and Superman. The skyscrapers in the city, which were said to be made of steel and iron, were like fragile toys, smashed into pieces. Dust and debris swept away, killing tens of thousands of people.

If there are two old monsters sleeping under their feet at the moment that are as scary as the Kryptonians, or even more terrifying, Floyd does not think that he and this team can ignore such risks, let alone solve them.Although since becoming the government, or Amanda Waller's lackeys, every high-risk mission they have undertaken has been suicidal, this no longer belongs to that category, because they were fighting for their lives before, and this Once, it is not an exaggeration to say that he lost his life.

"I'm not [-] percent sure."

Rarely, this time, Amanda Waller also showed a hint of hesitation, but she quickly regained her coolness.

"But the story of the true ancestor of the vampire may not be as exaggerated as the legend, right? After all, things in ancient times are just legends. Even if the versions they have handed down are very close to reality, they are only very close, and not necessarily true. The complete truth, because after all, no one has been to that era, and no one has seen with their own eyes what the gods and true ancestors were like."

"I need the magic lamp. As long as you get it, I can also rely on the power of the magic lamp to solve all this. Whether it is a true ancestor or a superman, in order to achieve the ultimate goal, even if there are sacrifices, it is still necessary. of."

"You're really crazy, Waller."

Listening to the cold tone in the headset, Freud knew that Amanda Waller had no intention of swaying her thoughts or temporarily shelving the mission.

"Only I can be satisfied here. Put away your unnecessary thoughts, warrior. You just need to obey my arrangements and complete your tasks, otherwise your head will move. It's that simple."

After Amanda Waller said the last sentence indifferently, she hung up the voice communication and went offline.

"Immediately prepare to enter the mausoleum and ask Constantine to open the vampire mausoleum."
