"That true ancestor of vampires? Is there any connection between them?"

Bruce's eyes looked thoughtful, and he was obviously trying to keep up with Constantine's thinking circuit.

"Cain is the 'killing weapon' created by Gaia against mankind. It can be said that he is his pawn. Has he betrayed Gaia? Or can he pose a threat to it?"

Continuously combing through and recalling what happened in the previous scene in the Sunwell Cave, Bruce suddenly discovered a somewhat unusual fragment.

After Gaia took over Freud's body and soul, Cain tried to ask Gaia to help him unlock the seal of these long years, but was ignored by Gaia with a look.

At this moment, thinking of this fragment again, Bruce felt that there seemed to be some different information hidden in it.

"I'm just guessing. But...there are some facts missing."

Constantine motioned for everyone to stand in front of the conference round table. He placed his hands on the round table and continued.

"Due to the emergency, although this is your Justice League's territory, I, an outsider, can no longer afford to be polite."

"At times like this, we don't make any distinctions. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly."

Clark shook his head.

"Then let me tell you what I guess."

Constantine looked at Bruce.

"But first, I think we should go through the entire incident from beginning to end. I have told everyone what I know about the general process of this incident. As for what I don't know, you can add it."

After a pause, he continued.

"Batman, you haven't forgotten why we entered the land sealed by Gaia."

"Magic lamp?"

Bruce looked around at the people around the table and nodded slowly.

"It seems you all already know. Yes, Amanda Waller framed me for murdering the mayor in order for me to follow Task Force X on a mission to find a legendary magic lamp. [ Isudar Shah Noon]. According to Amanda Waller, this magic lamp can grant any wish."

"I really don't believe it. Is there really a magic lamp in this world that can make all wishes come true? No matter how many times I hear it, I still feel crazy."

Barry expressed his opinion.

"Okay, even if there is such a magic lamp, why does she have to get you into that Task Force X?"

Neptune Arthur looked at Bruce.

"It should be to contain Task Force X."

Cyborg answered on Bruce's behalf.

"As far as I know, Task Force , and secretly approved by the Department of Homeland Security. They are often deployed to use their abilities to complete some covert and shady dirty work, top-secret government missions, and various espionage operations.”

Cyborg spread out his hands, and the mechanical structure on his body flickered and projected a burst of blue image light, which was presented three-dimensionally and intuitively in front of the conference table for everyone to watch.

A picture flashed by, which was secret information about Task Force His personal information is also prominently displayed. (Theoretically, Cyborg can hack into any computer on earth and anywhere where information is transmitted)

"In order to tightly control these criminals, the direct leader Amanda Waller used the nanotechnology she mastered to create a bomb that can be buried in the human brain for remote control, so that they can obey Order, Batman must have seen it before."

"Yes, but I picked it off."

Bruce replied.

"Indeed, our bombs were all picked up by Batman. If it hadn't been for your timely action at the last moment, I'm afraid all of our heads would have been moved by now."

Constantine touched the back of his head.

"Although I don't know how you did it at that time. Is this also because of the special power of the holy cloth? Or did you have a plan?"

"Let's not mention that now."

Bruce looked at Cyborg.

"As Cyborg said, all the members of Task Force A device that firmly controls all members of this team. But this time it is different."

"Amanda Waller is afraid that after the magic lamp falls into the hands of team members, they will use the power of the magic lamp to break away from her control, or even cause even greater uncontrollable events, so she needs a supervisor to ensure that the magic lamp can not For every member of this team."

"So she picked you."

Clark raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. But what is happening now, obviously everyone already knows. Amanda Waller turned her own madness into a disaster for the entire human race. This is not as simple as finding a legendary magic lamp, it involves The true ancestor of vampires, and even this Gaia, this is something that even I did not expect, and so far, we have not been able to see what this magic lamp looks like and whether it really exists."

"No, I think... this should be a simple logic of finding the magic lamp."

Constantine unexpectedly interrupted Bruce.

"Although finding the location of the magic lamp is indeed very complicated, I feel that all of this is inseparable from the existence of the magic lamp."

"What's the meaning."

Bruce frowned.

"That's what I want to say, the most important thing about this speculation about me."

Constantine said slowly.

"Do you remember what I said about God caring for Cain and Dracula?"

"About the ancient war between gods and the legend of the Twelve True Ancestors?"

"Yes."

Constantine nodded.

"The reason why legends are legends is because there are many absurd and bizarre places in the stories they present to us, and the deeds of Cain and Dracula are one of them."

"God once favored Cain and Dracula. In the origin of the legend, it was because they were born tall, perfect masterpieces created by the subconscious of this planet, just like elves."

"So he is an elf who has killed countless humans?"

Bruce sneered hard.

"Indeed, the Twelve True Ancestors of the Vampire Clan absolutely slaughtered countless humans, drank their blood, and drank their marrow, but their nature as beings that conform to the 'elves' is undeniable."

"I thought elves were all like the short ones in novels who like to play pranks, or they were pretty girls and boys in the forest with pointy ears... Uh... Or they were like the ones in the legend of King Arthur who lived in the lake. The fairy in it also has a pair of transparent butterfly wings on her back... something like that."

Barry Allen obviously felt a little ruined by these words.

"I think you should read less fairy tales in the future."

Neptune glanced at this energetic young man with some pity and patted him on the shoulder.

"Walter? What does this have to do with fairy tales? Don't you even watch "Lord of the Rings" and others like "Legends of King Arthur"?"

Barry had a confused expression on his face.

"Oh, then you see now, I am "Legend of King Arthur"."

Neptune rolled his eyes nonchalantly.

"...It's not funny at all."

Barry Allen's expression was very speechless.

Because Neptune is also called Arthur, and he is the Lord of Atlantis. In a sense, he is indeed the ocean version of "The Legend of King Arthur".

"That's enough for you, let Constantine continue."

Clark glared at the two.

"Okay, I'm not trying to be too specific. Why do I want to emphasize the essence of the elves of Cain and Dracula? Because if Cain and Dracula have something that can attract beings like God, I think this identity should It’s the most reasonable explanation.”

Constantine continued.He shrugged.

"There is such an existence as God. I cannot reasonably explain everything about 'him' to you. But if there is any word that can be closest to 'him', I think it is probably only [elf]. What I am talking about here is not Ordinary elves, the kind of elves in our conventional understanding, are some kind of supreme incarnations in the universe. They are born with long hair, just like Gaia. They are the purest and highest-level [elves], and they are also in the true sense. God', elusive, even impossible for people to understand its existence and birth."

"You heard me right. If you have to give God a definition, he is like Gaia, but the difference is that Gaia is just the embodiment of self-consciousness after the birth of a planet, and God may represent the vast universe. The galaxies in it, and maybe even the universe itself.”

"Of course, this is just my personal explanation based on what I know. I would rather think of God as infinitely taller."

Constantine shrugged. There seemed to be other stories hidden in his words, but they were not important now.

"Then how could such a great being be so interested in the earth? Why did it bless Cain? If God did not do it at will, then perhaps it was due to observation or other observations of the 'same and similar' existence. What idea did I have? I don’t know, but if the ancient legends are correct, then I think this should be the most convincing motive. But after all this, I discovered that Gaia’s consciousness is a rare miracle that is truly born. It is a truly pure [Elf], rather than a simple subconscious consciousness of the planet, but there is an inconsistent contradiction."

"What contradiction?"

Barry answered subconsciously.

"Because judging from the current situation, Cain and Dracula are nothing compared to Gaia. At most, these two existences can only be regarded as something created by Gaia according to part of its own template. Planting defective knock-off products, why didn’t God choose to favor Gaia, but instead chose Cain and Dracula?”

"Of course. Now Dracula is missing and may even be dead, but Cain is still alive in this world. God's favor for him is said to be 'eternal immortality', which means that no one can kill him. Die Cain. If God’s providence is true, then for what reason did it grant Cain this ‘eternal’ life?”

"...So you think that the magic lamp may have some connection with these ancient legends that we don't know yet."

After pondering for a while, Bruce spoke.

Regarding Dracula, the mysterious and honest male voice also said that he was most likely dead, which coincided with Constantine's current speculation.In other words, in these ancient legends about ancient wars and the true ancestors of vampires, not only are some real histories and unknown connections hidden, but some false things may also be used as decorations to cover them up.

"But Amanda Waller believes that the magic lamp is hidden in the place sealed by Gaia. If the magic lamp is really there, there is no reason why Gaia wouldn't know about it. If the magic lamp is really..."

At this point, Bruce's words suddenly stopped.In his mind, there seemed to be a flash of spiritual light, but it was too vague and he couldn't catch it.

"Cain, the magic lamp, God, Gaia, the ancient war..."

Repeatedly repeating these words, although Bruce could not come up with a reasonable logic, he felt more and more that the truth behind it was probably far from that simple.

"Yes, I think there must be historical truth behind the legend."

Constantine said calmly.

"I usually trust my instincts a lot."

"Do you think if we can really find the magic lamp, maybe it can help us defeat Gaia?"

Bruce asked.

"The premise is that it can really be found, and as we say, it can create miracles and fulfill [all] wishes."

Constantine emphasized the word "everything".

"If the magic lamp really has the incredible power as legendary, then this will be the best way to solve Gaia once and for all."

"I just retrieved all the keyword information about magic lanterns from the global Internet, and through 860 comparison operations, I came to a conclusion. Indeed, if we assume that there really are wishing lanterns in the world, Then all the evidence points to a 'treasure place hidden by the vampires'. Yes, Amanda Waller is right, it is the place where Gaia was sealed."

Cyborg's mechanical eyes flashed with red light quickly, and then he broke his silence.

"I never thought that there are such things hidden on the Internet..."

"But I think I've discovered something new."
