I'm the villain in Gotham
Chapter 181
Batman is now very wary of Constantine and rejected his proposal to meet in the Batcave due to the lessons learned from Constantine last time.
Constantine sat in front of the fireplace in the mystery house, looked at Batman standing beside him and said, "I got some clues you want from the two demons." He opened his palm, and a burst of golden magic ?The light flashed, and a strange sculpture appeared in his palm.It is like the tentacles of some kind of mollusc sea creature, the twisted lines are abnormally chaotic, making one faintly feel some indescribable irritability, confusion and malice rising in the heart.
This felt a little familiar, and Batman immediately thought of the tentacles that had appeared on Erberist, and frowned.
Constantine continued: "With this, we can trace the traces of that cult organization. As long as they have used similar types of magic recently, this thing will become a very qualified tracker." Said After that, he glanced at Batman: "I've been busy working on these things since you asked me to help last time, how can you thank me?"
Batman: "..."
Given that Batman can still smell faintly of booze on Constantine's trench coat, he is deeply skeptical of that claim.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Constantine snapped his fingers and found a reward for himself: "It's still the same, you owe me once, bat."
Batman didn't nod or deny, but said in a deep voice, "Have you tried it?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for you." After Constantine finished speaking, he stood up from the sofa, holding the sculpture in his palm, and his face suddenly became serious.A deep incantation sounded in the center of the room, and a whirlwind quickly took shape, whizzing and spinning with the sculpture as the center.Batman's cloak was rattled by the blow, and he saw the sculpture in Constantine's hand suddenly burst into black light——
Something sounded in his head, like a glimpse of an indescribable abyss.Batman's expression was blank for a moment, and Constantine, who was the most affected, swayed and almost fell.
"...Oh, damn it." He supported the sofa to stand firm, and said through gritted teeth, "We are so lucky that we just caught up with them when they were using large-scale magic, otherwise the reaction would not have been so violent."
Batman asked? "What are they doing?"
"It doesn't matter what you do, what matters is—" Constantine said, "I
They just interfered with their magic? I'm afraid they found us as well as they failed, and now they can find us through the damn thing?You have to be glad that I agree with you. Bats, the mystery house has its own magic of chaos and interference? They can't touch it in a short time. If it is in your Batcave, now we are ready to fight them. "
Batman's expression remained unchanged: "Then let's act? Hurry up, and catch them off guard."
"Who are you going to hit?"
Constantine and Batman paused and looked at the figure that appeared at the door.
Zatanna wore her usual tuxedo, with a red bow tie matching the color of her lipstick.
Konstantin immediately looked at the black orchid who suddenly appeared aside, his eyes were full of accusations: Why did you let her in without saying anything? ? ?
Hei Lanhua's tone didn't fluctuate: "It's you who said that she can come in and out of this house at will, master."
Constantine: "..."
"Oh~ so you guys are hiding something from me." Zatanna's eyes wandered between Constantine and Batman, narrowing her eyes.She thought that after being tricked by Constantine last time, Batman didn't want to see him anymore.Besides, based on their friendship for so many years, Batman didn't come to her when he was looking for help on the magic? It is conceivable that what he has to do is quite troublesome.
"Cough, it's nothing, Xiao Zha." Constantine coughed, stuffed the sculpture into the pocket of his windbreaker, and said calmly, "It's just helping the bat find someone. What are you doing here?"
"I guess you forgot today? The date with Monaco." Zatanna raised her eyebrows: "But it's okay, I don't plan to go now. What are you going to do, take me?"
Constantine glared at Batman, who had been silent all this time.
He initially agreed to help on the condition that Zatanna not be involved, so Batman said to Zatanna: "I just need his help."
Zatanna crossed her arms: "You know this won't make me give up, right?" Before Batman could say anything, she looked at Constantine: "John, you know what if? I want to follow you There are many ways? Anyway, now that I know what you are doing, instead of wasting energy, why don’t you tell me the truth?”
They looked at each other and confronted each other for a while, finally Constantine sighed in frustration and surrendered: "Okay, I agree."
He explained the matter in a big way
, Zatanna widened her eyes: "So if? I didn't come, when you were going to trouble them, there were only you and him?" Her expression was full of disbelief and disapproval: "Do you think Is this some new kind of house-playing game? Boo... Batman is even just a normal person!"
"No, no, no, no." Konstantin really thought so. Swimming in danger and seizing opportunities to solve problems is his forte, but obviously Zatanna didn't agree with him, so he had no choice but to Quickly changed the subject: "Besides, he is not the kind of ordinary person you imagined. Didn't you find that he has a very high affinity for magic?"
Sure enough, Zatanna was distracted and looked at Batman suspiciously: "Really?"
"He can see magic? Xiao Zha, don't keep treating him like an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything." Constantine shrugged: "Besides, he brought up the investigation of cult organizations. Don’t understand either, do you, buddy?”
Batman ignored him: "Where are we going now?"
"Of course it's to trouble those bastards, but before that, we have to make some preparations." Constantine said, "Actually, before you came? I've been looking for a book that deals with The method of this evil power?, but I searched the mystery house and couldn't find it. I guess it was put at home by? I kept it."
Zatanna was a little surprised: "Your house? Uh, but didn't you say..."
"Yeah, I'm not on good terms with my dad—actually I should say it's my dad's house," Constantine said, "but once in a while, I mean, I go back there twice a year, and of course I Drop something?. Just like I throw a cigarette butt."
Batman said in a deep voice, "Then go now."
"Whatever." Konstantin shrugged. "I know what you're thinking, Bat. Actually, I don't mind if you know where my dad lives. Believe me, you won't know more about me because of it."
Batman didn't speak.
They came to a house through Constantine's teleportation array.Constantine walked up to the door, put one hand in his pocket, and knocked hard on the door with the other.
Zatanna stood behind with Batman, and couldn't help but whispered, "He doesn't even have a door or a key."
Batman nodded slightly.
Constantine knocked on the door for a long time (in fact, it was smashed), and the big door creaked and was opened.An old man with thin limbs and thin white hair was holding the door?
Handle, said angrily: "What the hell do you want?"
"Just looking for a book, Dad," Constantine said. "It has a cover, and it's bound with paper, and it's written on it—maybe you'll see the exact same thing on TV."
The old man stepped aside from the door and stared at Batman who walked in behind Constantine: "Who is this?"
Constantine rummaged through the bookcases and the floor without raising his head: "This? It's a bit complicated to explain, but he is a human being, there is no doubt about it."
The old man asked suspiciously, "Another boyfriend of yours?"
Constantine: "...No, he's not."
Then the old man saw Zatanna again: "Then this must be your girlfriend."
Constantine lifted the rug: "...not yet."
Zatanna reached out to the old man, smiled and shook hands with him: "Mr. Sir, hello."
Finally Constantine finds the book of spells in the ashes of the fireplace, and is thankful that it wasn't burned by his goddamn father as firewood - although Constantine reasonably suspects that he just hasn't had time to do so.The goal was achieved, and Constantine walked out immediately as if he didn't want to stay for a second.
The old man was still standing at the door. When Constantine passed him, he said, "This time I agree."
Constantine: "..."
Constantine took a deep breath and said with a smile on his face, "I'm leaving. Goodbye, Dad. I really hope I don't have to see you again this year."
The old man said, "See you later, and I also hope I don't have to see you again."
They left? This house.
……
After returning to the mysterious room, Constantine sat on the sofa and flipped through the magic book. Zatanna leaned on the sofa, folded her hands on her chest, paused for a while, and said pertinently: "Actually, the relationship between you and your father Is that okay too?"
"It's okay?" Constantine turned a page of the book and said absently, "Indeed, it's much better than before."
Batman looked over, and Zatanna raised her eyebrows: "Before??"
"Before? He drank heavily and beat me and my mother when he was drunk. After they divorced, I stayed. This kind of thing got worse." Constantine snapped the book shut: "At that time, there were many mysteries in our family. I am very interested in these books handed down by my ancestors, but he said that they are all lies and useless, and they will be torn up or burned when I read them."
Zatanna took his hand.
Constantine didn't move, and continued: "I'm tired of him, and I always thought that if he died?
how nice.Turns out, maybe god damn it or something, heard my wish, and one day? I saw a curse in a book. "
"I caught a stray cat, linked it to my father's soul with the magic in the book, killed it, and buried it in my garden. As it says in the book, the cat's The body was rotting in the ground, he started to cough, his heartbeat was irregular, and his internal organs hurt. Then he lay on the bed, his body was getting worse every day, and I suddenly realized that he was going to die, I did it."
Zatanna squeezed Constantine's hand.
Batman's expression? It hasn't changed, it still looks that cold.He didn't speak, just looked at Constantine silently.
Constantine went on: "At that moment I suddenly regretted it, because I suddenly realized—" He paused, unable to finish the sentence.
Zatanna added softly: "You realize you still love him and you don't want him to die?"
Constantine didn't speak.But he knew in his heart that at that time he suddenly realized that all he had done was actually to hope that his father would love him in the final analysis.
But he would never say that.
"I dug that dead cat out of the soil and tried my best to break the connection between their souls, but it didn't work. He was dying." Constantine looked calm, as if talking about Other people's stories: "Finally I thought of a way? Soak the cat in formalin to prevent it from rotting. This method? Was? Proven to be effective. My father's body stopped deteriorating, but it didn't get better either. He was still lying in bed every day, half dead? Not alive, and I was gnawed by guilt and resentment day and night. That was the first time I realized that there was a price to be paid for doing anything. "
"But now he's very healthy." Batman said suddenly, "You finally found a way to lift the curse?"
"No, it's not me." Unexpectedly, Constantine denied: "It's another person I don't know, or not a person. Just half a year after that incident, he suddenly appeared in front of me? .”
Speaking of which, Constantine's expression finally changed.He is sure that his memory has been deliberately blurred, because this matter is clearly deep in his mind, but he can't even remember the general image of that person, and can only barely recall the black cloth on his body, which was exposed in the sun. The reflections are like the feathers of birds.
"He asked? How do I feel about this matter, I
After answering, he nodded, didn't speak any more, and suddenly disappeared from?my eyes. "Just after this, my father's health got better and better, and the doctor said it was a miracle," Constantine recalled. "
"But I know he lifted the curse."
The author has something to say: Sir: I shouldn't be in the car, I should be under the car
Zha Kang's father: I agree to your marriage with this little girl!

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Constantine sat in front of the fireplace in the mystery house, looked at Batman standing beside him and said, "I got some clues you want from the two demons." He opened his palm, and a burst of golden magic ?The light flashed, and a strange sculpture appeared in his palm.It is like the tentacles of some kind of mollusc sea creature, the twisted lines are abnormally chaotic, making one faintly feel some indescribable irritability, confusion and malice rising in the heart.
This felt a little familiar, and Batman immediately thought of the tentacles that had appeared on Erberist, and frowned.
Constantine continued: "With this, we can trace the traces of that cult organization. As long as they have used similar types of magic recently, this thing will become a very qualified tracker." Said After that, he glanced at Batman: "I've been busy working on these things since you asked me to help last time, how can you thank me?"
Batman: "..."
Given that Batman can still smell faintly of booze on Constantine's trench coat, he is deeply skeptical of that claim.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Constantine snapped his fingers and found a reward for himself: "It's still the same, you owe me once, bat."
Batman didn't nod or deny, but said in a deep voice, "Have you tried it?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for you." After Constantine finished speaking, he stood up from the sofa, holding the sculpture in his palm, and his face suddenly became serious.A deep incantation sounded in the center of the room, and a whirlwind quickly took shape, whizzing and spinning with the sculpture as the center.Batman's cloak was rattled by the blow, and he saw the sculpture in Constantine's hand suddenly burst into black light——
