[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

When Constantine heard this, he immediately looked unhappy.

He told Gabriel sternly: "Don't say such things in front of Matthew!"

"Why? Because he is the biological descendant of the Constantine family created by the First Fallen with your demon blood?"

Gabriel, who had always held a grudge against John Constantine, finally found a chance to taunt and retaliate, and yelled bitterly: "Even if you tell me to shut up, I must tell you that Matthew is Lucifer's toy! He doesn't Willing to be the plaything of the Most High God, but prefers to make his own! He—”

Boom!

Matthew cut Gabriel's chatter with a knife and said to John Constantine, "Gabriel may be right."

"You're really willing to accept—"

"If this is the truth, why can't I accept it?"

Matthew said with a wry smile: "In fact, I am very grateful for this truth, so that I no longer have to feel heavy about the love that Lucifer gave far beyond the limit of my ability."

"you--"

"Before I was shaped into my current form by the First Fallen with your demon blood and countless fragments of demons defeated by him, I was an ordinary human who grew up in a traditional Catholic family. I knew that prayers can be given by God, and demons Giving will always make people pay the price unconsciously."

Matthew looked up and looked at the faint Catholic Church in the distance: "Lucifer is the king of demons. If he didn't get anything from me, why would he give love to ordinary me? So, Gabriel said I was When I saw the toys made by Lucifer, I felt very relaxed, which means that all the good things Lucifer did to me were not without reason, he liked me because of his own needs."

"Matthew, you..."

Constantine didn't know what to say, so he could only pat Matthew on the shoulder and comforted him and said, "I don't know Lucifer, but I know Gabriel, he hates me very much, and he tried every means to hate me, from his mouth There is usually no credibility to what is said about me."

"But there is a certain reference value."

"Uh..." Constantine fell silent.

Matthew turned around, looked at the operating room with flashing red lights, and said softly, "Maybe, I should talk to the first fallen."

"you want--"

"Um……"

Matthew nodded and walked out of the hospital firmly.

Constantine did not catch up.

He ignored the hospital's ban on smoking, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said to Gabriel, who had already woken up but continued to pretend to be unconscious as agreed: "You are indeed the number one snobby angel in the City of Silver, your acting skills are comparable to humans Actor."

"When will you give me back my angel heart?"

Gabriel looked at Constantine angrily: "If I don't return to the City of Silver before Lucifer and Matthew find out that I have been cheated, I will be caught by them and pull out all the feathers on my wings!"

"That's your trouble, it has nothing to do with me."

"I was following your orders—"

"I asked you to do these things, but I didn't promise to return the angel heart to you. You misunderstood it, mistakenly thought that the angel heart was the agreed reward, and unilaterally fulfilled the agreement."

Having said that, Constantine blew out another smoke ring.

Seeing this, Gabriel was furious, and roared angrily: "John Constantine! You bastard! I'm going to find Matthew now! I want him to know the truth! Everything about Lucifer is caused by you! I— —”

Before he finished speaking, He was knocked down by Constantine, who had been prepared for a long time.

……

Summoning the First Fallen is not difficult for Matthew.

Even, just after he set up the altar, the First Fallen appeared in front of him.

【My son summoned me to sacrifice to me? 】

"Can't I find you?"

【I'm afraid that my son will join forces with outsiders to plot against me again. 】

The first fallen looked at Matthew with a tone of voice.

He was once held to the vital point by Matthew holding the double king sword. He inevitably had conflicts with meeting Matthew, and because of the special relationship between Matthew and Lucifer, he had to come immediately.

Matthew knew that the relationship between the first fallen and his father and son was more fake than plastic. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and asked the first fallen: "How much do you know about Gabriel?"

【Gabriel?That cowardly, incompetent and hypocritical archangel? 】

The first fallen showed a look of disdain.

He looked down on Gabriel from the bottom of his heart, even though Gabriel was once an archangel before God.

"He was forced to obey you, wasn't he?"

【Yes, after he lost his angelic heart and became a fallen angel, he once fell into hell, begging for my protection! 】

Having said that, the first fallen suddenly rolled his eyes and looked at Matthew.

[There was a conflict between my son and Gabriel?My son is at a disadvantage? 】

"You really want me to suffer?"

[If my son really suffers from Gabriel, I will be very happy.Unfortunately, this is almost impossible to happen. 】

"why?"

[Because Gabriel, who has lost his angel heart, is a useless angel, and he is not worthy to be your opponent at all, unless——]

A mysterious light flashed in the eyes of the First Fallen.

Matthew caught the fleeting mysterious light and asked, "Unless what? What happened to Gabriel during hell?"

[What can a waste angel do in hell?It just fell from the hands of one monarch-level demon to another monarch-level demon, but Gabriel is very good at currying favor with the demon of hell, and it may not be certain that he can get some benefits from it. 】

The first fall complained about Gabriel in an unusually disdainful tone.

He despises Gabriel as a warrior despises a coward, even though he himself was mocked for being a coward by John Constantine pouring holy water on him.

However, Matthew ignored all the disturbances given by the first fallen, and asked directly: "Which hell demon did Gabriel take orders from recently?"

【Gabriel……】

The first fallen grinned, the smile was ghostly and terrifying; 【He left hell some time ago, he is no longer a fallen angel of hell, but a fallen angel of the world. 】

"He's not in hell? Who helped him get out of hell?"

【The one who has Gabriel's angelic heart. 】

The first fallen looked at Matthew with a ferocious face, and his words were full of cruelty and sarcasm; 【We all know that person and have a deep and special connection with us. You know who he is, and I also know who he is. his name--】

The First Fallen paused.

Matthew: "Why don't you continue talking?"

[Because it is unnecessary. 】

"No, because you haven't figured out how to frame him!"

While speaking, Matthew picked up the holy water hidden behind the altar table, and poured it on the newly fallen: "Take it! These are my consulting fees!"

【Matthew!You bastard!you--】

The first fallen who couldn't be corroded by the holy water didn't even have time to finish his harsh words before disappearing into the summoning circle in embarrassment.

Matthew looked at the sulfur white smoke that had not completely dissipated on the ground, and decided to have a good talk with Constantine.

Before that, though, he wanted to talk to Zatanna first.

……

When Matthew was looking for Zatana, Zatana had just finished the New York aftermath work entrusted to her by Matthew, and was about to contact Matthew to tell him the latest situation in New York.

Zatana was very excited when she suddenly received an unsolicited contact from Matthew.

"Hey, Matthew, I'm about to find you... The matter in New York has been dealt with, and almost all the undead have been rested in peace. Pierrot, the undead knight commander who came to New York at your call, also returned after completing his mission. Hell, Loki is currently with Thor..."

Zatana talked endlessly about the current situation in New York for 10 minutes.

Matthew listened quietly to Zatana's story until she finished speaking, and asked Zatana calmly and gently: "How much do you know about John Constantine and the First Fallen?"

"Matthew, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Zatanna looked at Matthew in confusion.

Matthew: "Because I suddenly discovered that the situation in hell is worse than I expected."

"Are you going back to hell?"

"Yes, I promised Wanda and Doom that I would go to Hell to find Mephisto and retrieve the souls of their loved ones..." Matthew said, "Before that, I must figure out what John Constantine is going to do. A true relationship with the Fallen."

"why?"

Zatanna asked Matthew in puzzlement: "Why do you want to find out the real relationship between John and the First Fallen? What relationship can exist between magicians and demons? Except enemies and occasional allies who use each other?"

"It is true that there should be no relationship between them other than enemies and allies who take advantage of each other, but..."

Matthew smiled and told Zatanna: "John may be colluding with Gabriel to do something that endangers the peace agreement between hell and heaven."

"Then... is what you said true?!"

Zatanna looked shocked.

She loved John Constantine so much that she knew better than anyone in the world what kind of bastard and scum the man she loved was!

Ordinary people might be put off by the consequences of something that could lead to all-out war between Heaven and Hell, but John Constantine would do it for the most extreme of consequences.

"He's not that crazy..." Zatanna said self-deceivingly, "I know John, he is a scumbag, but he is a scumbag who values ​​love and righteousness, and he will not push the whole world into danger in order to achieve his own goals Edge, he is not such a person!"

"Your idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel."

Matthew told Zatanna sympathetically: "I just met Gabriel, and I found the first fallen. Gabriel's expression proved that he was afraid of John Constantine. The first fallen told me directly, Gabriel Li recently got very close to Constantine, and he was controlled by Constantine."

"Then again—"

"Your attitude is not as firm as before."

Matthew pointed out tenderly.

Zatana said with a wry smile: "I believe in Constantine, but I believe in truth more."

"So you think what I'm saying is true?"

"You don't have to lie to me, although you may be deceived by the first fallen." Zatanna told Matthew gently but firmly, "Never doubt John, he is indeed a scumbag emotionally, but in other fields, he is a scumbag." A good man worth entrusting his life to."

"You always trust him?"

"why not?"

Zatanna asked Matthew: "Why can't I trust him completely and forever? Although he scumbags me in the matter of feelings, he has always been my most reliable comrade-in-arms when it comes to black magic. I need him." , I trust him, I—”

"Even if I have evidence that he is plotting against me?"

"That's your business, not mine." Zatana replied calmly.

She loves John Constantine deeply and is willing to believe every word he says, even if it is a promise full of traps and loopholes.

Seeing that Zatana trusted Constantine so sincerely, Matthew also sighed.

He recorded the whole process of talking with Zatana and came to the hospital with the record.

At this time, Mother Teresa had finished the operation and was lying in the ICU ward, waiting to wake up.

Gabriel and Constantine stood in the corridor of the ward.

Seeing Matthew, Constantine opened his arms enthusiastically: "Matthew, have you finished what you want to do?"

"Yes, everything is done."

Matthew took out the call record, deliberately threw it twice, and said to Constantine: "I talked to Zatana for an hour."

"About what? Me?"

Constantine asked Matthew pretending to be innocent.

Matthew nodded and said, "We talked about you a lot. She told me that she will always believe in you and love you deeply, even if you are a scum that everyone despises."

"In the emotional field, I'm really sorry for her." Constantine said helplessly, "but I didn't mean to feel sorry for her. Compared with the emotional field, I'm more afraid of her losing her life because of being with me. Although People often say that love is above everything else, but I still think that life is above all else.”

"So you hurt her repeatedly to protect her better?"

"Yes." Constantine replied sincerely.

Emotionally, he is indeed a scumbag and a prodigal son, but he also puts his true feelings into every relationship, so that everyone (including non-humans) who has been scumbed by him curses him and misses him at the same time , from time to time aftertaste bit by bit when in love.

"Zatana is a good girl, she should have a good home, not entangled with a prodigal like me."

"It's a pity that she can't be completely clean."

Matthew told Constantine sadly: "She was targeted by the first fallen."

"what?!"

Constantine showed a shocked expression: "What's going on! Why is she being targeted by the first fallen?"

"Because of you, and because of Gabriel."

Matthew glanced at Gabriel, who was standing aside pretending to be a vase sculpture: "The First Fallen already knows that Gabriel is mixing with you now, and he is very dissatisfied with this, and is going to let you know how great it is by punishing those around you."

"The First Fallen..."

Constantine clenched his fists involuntarily upon hearing this.

Matthew took the opportunity to ask: "You really colluded with Gabriel?"

"We are a normal cooperative relationship, don't use such an ugly word as 'collusion'!"

Gabriel decisively expressed his attitude.

He is no longer an archangel before God, but he still cares about his reputation.

Matthew: "Really?"

"Of course it's true! We're—"

Gabriel suddenly came back to his senses and exclaimed, "Matthew! You bastard! You—"

"I'm sorry, I lied to you, but what I just said was not all lies. The First Fallen has indeed become wary and dissatisfied with your relationship, and is going to use Zatana as a breakthrough to let you know the price of offending her. "

"what do you mean--"

Constantine's expression became more and more serious.

He asked Matthew, "Will you fight the Fallen with me?"

Matthew shook his head and said, "No..."

"why?"

"Because it's unnecessary."

"but--"

"It's really not necessary." Matthew emphasized.

Constantine was displeased and reiterated: "The Fallen is a demon, and cooperation with him will not have good results."

"Just because I refuse to cooperate with you doesn't mean that I agree to cooperate with the First Fallen. I don't think I can exist as a separate neutral party?"

"If you're really neutral from beginning to end, of course there's no problem, but you—"

Constantine smiled wryly: "You can't stay neutral forever."

"why?"

"Because you...you..."

"What do you know?"

Matthew looked at Constantine stubbornly: "What made you decide to cooperate with Gabriel?"

"I can't tell."

"It's me, right?"

"you……"

"Yes or no?"

"Yes--"

Constantine's eyes were full of bitterness.

On Matthew's side, he got the answer he wanted, but his mood became even more melancholy.

Sadly, he told Constantine: "Thank you for being honest with me."

"I'm sorry if I offended you by telling the truth, but I don't apologize to you for it."

After finishing speaking, Matthew walked up to Gabriel and patted Angel on the shoulder with a smile: "Do you have time? Do you want to talk to me on the top floor of the hospital?"

"Hey! You don't mean to—"

"What do you say?"

While speaking, Matthew dragged Gabriel to the top floor of the hospital.

Gabriel struggled desperately, but it was a pity that he had lost the heart of an angel and was no match for Matthew at all.

After some struggle, Gabriel was dragged to the hospital rooftop by Matthew.

The night wind was cold, but not enough to make the angel shiver.

What really frightened the angel was Matthew standing beside him, and the three pairs of golden and red wings spread out behind Matthew.

Finding that Gabriel was staring at his wings in horror, Matthew looked back, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Do you like it?"

"I……"

"Or do you think the wings look familiar?"

"Yes, this pair of wings shouldn't...should not appear here..." Gabriel said tremblingly, "Its original master angel has...already..."

"Which angel did it belong to?"

Matthew asked Gabriel straightforwardly: "Tell me everything you know!"

"I can't tell."

"why?"

"Because after I speak out, not only will I not get any benefits, but I may even lose my life."

Gabriel said bluntly: "Matthew, you are very powerful, you have unlimited potential, but even in your full form, you have no ability to promise to protect me, because... because..."

"You take yourself too seriously..." Matthew interrupted, "I never thought of exchanging your intelligence with protecting your life."

"I--"

"Even if you don't say anything, I still have a way to find out the truth. I brought you to the top floor just to warn you and the messenger behind you. One day I will dig out the truth, no matter how much you hide the secret. How deep it is."

After finishing speaking, Matthew mentioned Gabriel and flew him into the night of Gotham: "Want to enjoy the night view of Gotham with me?"

"No!"

yelled Gabriel, who suspected that Matthew would throw himself off some of the chaotic neighborhoods.

Matthew: "It's up to you."

……

Gotham is a city of chaos.

Here, the law is printed on toilet paper, and the police and criminals work together. The only thing that can deter criminals is Batman and the Bat Family he created.

However, no matter how powerful Batman and the Bat Family are, they cannot bring every corner of Gotham under their control. There will always be some dark areas where the sun cannot find it.

What Matthew and Gabriel are going to visit is a rotten and smelly Gotham mouse hiding in the dark.

His name is Drake.

He makes money by selling medicine to middle school students.

Almost all the party boys killed by Matthew Pender were his regular customers.

On the day of the accident, he narrowly escaped the accident because he still had two business deals to deal with in the neighboring city.

Later, due to the strict order of the Gotham Police Department, all schools in Gotham City began to investigate and clean up the campus drug dealers. Drake's campus business was almost uprooted and has not recovered until now.

He has also changed from a campus big brother who used to call the wind and rain to a moneyboy who can sleep with a landlord who weighs [-] catties for half a month's rent reduction.

After finally coaxing the old landlord man who weighed three hundred catties to sleep, Drake climbed out of bed, poured himself a glass of ice water, stood in front of the mirror, and smiled wryly at himself in the mirror: "Why am I so alive now? Like a mouse? When will Lady Luck take care of me again!"

"Lady Luck will never favor you, because your soul has been captured by the devil."

Following the words that sounded directly in his mind, the familiar face in the mirror gradually distorted, turning into a handsome and cold face that seemed familiar but had no impression.

Drake couldn't help but gasped, and the water glass in his hand fell to the ground with a clang: "Who are you! Why did you appear in my mirror! I must be dreaming! It must be a dream! How could I...Okay! Maybe I took too much medicine and had hallucinations!"

Drake tried to console himself, pushing back as he spoke.

However, he only took a step back, and his body hit a cold and soft wall!

Drake turned around, looked at the handsome and cold face that suddenly appeared in the mirror, trembling all over, breathing rapidly: "You... who are you... who are you... are you a demon? Are you ……yes……"

In a panic, he grabbed the cross around his neck and yelled at Matthew: "Get out! Get out immediately! Devil! God is here! God is with me!"

"God? Demon?"

Matthew chuckled, stretched out his hand, grabbed the silver cross in Drake's hand, held it in his hand, and pressed it hard——

The silver cross turned into a silver bar and fell to the ground.

"Your God isn't here," Matthew said. "He doesn't want or intend to protect you."

"you you……"

Trembling with fear, Drake forced himself to say to Matthew, "You know what you're doing! You're trespassing! I can legally shoot you! I'm—"

He reached out for the gun, but what he found was empty: "Where is my gun? Where did my gun go?! I—"

"I said, your God is not here, but I am here."

Smiling, Matthew opened his hand, with a gun lying in his palm, and seven bullets.
