Because there was half a fragment of the Book of Destiny recovered from the hands of "Dr. Destiny" John Deegan, after the consciousness returned to the temporary body, Matthew did not feel the annoying hunger again.

But he smelled the sulfur smell of hell, and the long traffic jam turned into a "0 yuan purchase" scene.

Following the smell, Matthew saw the demon Crowley who was listening to music.

This guy……

【Master, please allow your humble and prudent servant, Kespler, to introduce you to Crowley, the chief culprit of the Gotham highway congestion and bloody conflict.

As early as when the Garden of Eden was formed, he already existed. The main body was the snake of the Garden of Eden, the one that lured Eve to eat the fruit of wisdom. After being driven out of the Garden of Eden, he wandered around the world as a demon. The proposer and practitioner of Devil KPI...]

It was him...

Matthew's eyes on Crowley grew serious.

【Master, please allow your servant Kespler to remind you that his car does not really exist on the highway. You can appreciate your own masterpieces personally. 】

I see……

Matthew nodded, and looked back at the demon Crowley.

Crowley, who originally planned to end the Gotham freeway congestion in half an hour, realized that Matthew, who was watching him, came from hell just like him, so he did not hesitate to withdraw the mind-affecting magic circle that enveloped the freeway, releasing the space. Folds, like ink dripping into the sea, disappear without a trace.

The second after Crowley's aura completely dissipated, Zatanna appeared in Matthew's passenger seat through the magic circle.

"Hi... Matthew—"

"what's up?"

Matthew pretends to be stupid...

Zatana smiled and asked, "You don't feel the breath of magic at all?"

"If the magical breath you mentioned refers to your appearance, I have not only sensed it, but I am also in it."

Matthew looked at Zatana meaningfully.

Zatanna knew that Matthew was a young magician with a secret. Hearing this, not only did she not get angry, but her smile became brighter: "Don't deal with things from hell frequently, it will easily lead to misfortune. Your father is the best example."

"But it's impossible for a magician not to deal with hell at all, is it?" Matthew asked.

Zatanna fell into a brief silence.

Matthew's words hit the spot.

"Yes..." Zatanna said, "It is impossible for a magician to never deal with hell, but we will do everything in our power to restore what was lost due to hell."

"And then lose more in the process of recovery?"

Matthew's smile was mocking.

Zatanna: "..."

She feels uneasy.

Obviously, Matthew not only knew about John Constantine's past, but also had something to do with hell himself.

"The name of the demon that causes high-speed congestion and violent conflict is—"

"Crowley, the Serpent of Eden."

Zatana froze: "Why him?"

"Troublesome?"

"He is a peculiar demon that can't be wiped out even by soaking in holy water. Hell and heaven don't want to provoke him." Zatanna said, "Of course, part of the reason is that he is lazy."

"No wonder—"

"No wonder what?"

"After I found him, I just took one look at him and he left," Matthew said.

He deliberately withheld details, such as when he found Crowley, or how Crowley left.

Zatanna didn't press the question.

As one of the best magicians, she respects the privacy of Matthew, who is also a magician, but at the same time, she is afraid of the price of questioning——

Being able to detect abnormalities and find the demon hidden in the traffic jam within two hours when the traffic jam gradually escalated into a violent conflict shows that Matthew has the talent to become the supreme magician;

But if Matthew finds the demon in just a moment, it means that Matthew has assimilated with the demon.

Only the devil can find the devil in an instant.

What's more, her ex-boyfriend John Constantine wandered in front of the gate of hell all year round and fell into hell several times. With his boldness and presumptuousness, it is entirely possible to create an existence that is very close to the devil or even the essence of the devil.

She must selectively avoid the truth.

At this time, Gotham's big congestion was finally cleared, and the congested traffic flow gradually became smoother.

Matthew glanced at Zatana, who had no intention of leaving, and said, "The Shark King is in Arkham Mental Hospital."

"It's about me—"

"He was one of John Constantine's predecessors."

Zatanna: "Me and John have already broken up!"

However, in the next second, Zatana disappeared.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, Matthew drove back to Arkham Mental Hospital in a used car.

Poison Ivy and "Dr. Destiny" John Deegan have been sent back by Batman, and there is a calm air in Arkham.

Matthew sat in the office, drank a cup of coffee, flipped through the memo, and went to the treatment room to chat with the patient "Scarecrow" (Scarecrow) who was obsessed with spreading fear and torturing others.

"Good morning, Jonathan Crane, or—you want me to call you 'Scarecrow'—"

"Good morning, Dr. Matthew."

Jonathan Klein, the “Scarecrow” Jonathan Klein, whose appearance is closer to the scarecrow planted by farmers in the fields to scare crows, greeted Matthew with a blood-red cotton thread hanging from the corner of his mouth.

He likes himself like this, who can make people feel the fear from the heart the moment they see him.

It's a pity that standing in front of him was Matthew who was pieced together from the body fragments of the devil.

The appearance enough to evoke the deepest fear in most people's hearts could not make Matthew uneasy. He sat calmly opposite the "Scarecrow", drinking coffee, and said, "You remind me of a story..."

"what story?"

"A long time ago, there was a bloodthirsty race, in order to satisfy their bloodthirsty desires, they wantonly slaughtered the lives of lower civilizations. Their behavior offended an ancient race that was stronger than them.

The powerful ancient race wiped out the bloodthirsty race all over the universe, killing only the last few people.The last few people knelt down to the ancient race and begged for mercy, begging the ancient race to let them go and avoid committing the crime of genocide. "

"agreed?"

"The ancient race promised to spare the last few members of the bloodthirsty race, exile them to a young planet that is still in the budding state of civilization at the edge of the universe, and order them to eat at most once a month in the exile place, and eating cannot cause food death. Survivors They accept the harsh demands of an ancient race and start a new life on a young planet."

"Did they break the agreement so quickly?"

"They lived on the young planet for thousands of years, keeping their promise until—a member of the ancient race who exiled them accidentally lost their memory and came to the young planet."

Having said that, Matthew put down his coffee cup, with a playful smile on his lips: "If you were a survivor of a bloodthirsty race and met an extermination enemy who lost his memory, what would you do?"

"I'll tick off his deepest fears and lock him forever in his dark memory."

After finishing speaking, the "Scarecrow" asked Matthew: "Why do you ask this question?"

"Just ask casually, don't be too sensitive."

While speaking, Matthew drew a circle with his fingers along the mouth of the coffee cup——

"Discovering that the genocidal enemy lost his memory, the survivors of the bloodthirsty race immediately thought of revenge, but they soon realized that they could take the opportunity to get more.

They want to get the strange power of the ancient race, get rid of the rule that they can only eat once a month, and leave the ignorant and uncivilized young planet. "

"Great idea."

The "Scarecrow" listened with great interest, and looked at Matthew greedily: Poor young man, you have become my prey.I will hunt you like a bloodthirsty race in your stories!

"They laid a trap to catch the member of the ancient race who was a grammar teacher in the school after amnesia, took his blood, and found that the blood of the member of the ancient race after amnesia did not contain any power. So they sent the students in the school and even the residents of the entire town Catch them all, and use massacres to force the amnesiacs to restore their memories immediately."

"Did they succeed?"

"Success."

Matthew said: "When they raised the butcher's knife and killed innocent students, the members of the ancient race recovered their memories. He not only stopped the bloodthirsty race's massacre, but also told them that what they did made him and his race Regret for the forgiveness that year, the bloodthirsty race should be completely wiped out!"

"Wow! Awesome! This story is awesome!"

"Scarecrow" was as excited as a child: "An ancient race of false compassion, a bloodthirsty race that is really cruel, Doctor Matthew, do you want to imply something by telling me this story?"

"Don't worry, listen to me finish the story."

Matthew said: "About the ultimate punishment of the survivors of the bloodthirsty race by members of the ancient race..."
