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

Unfortunately, flying is not allowed in the entire area around the creek, at least not for ordinary wizards.

The air here is extremely viscous. Wanda tried to fly into the sky. When she ascended, she felt her body stuck in sticky glue, and her magic power was sealed in her body, making her unable to move.

"I can't fly over this area..." Wanda, who was forced to abandon her flight plan, said to Constantine and Doom, "Maybe you can try."

"You can't fly into the sky, and I shouldn't be able to."

Constantine gave up without even trying, and asked Doom: "Your armor is a perfect combination of science and magic. Since magic can't do anything, maybe we can try science."

"If you want to send me to die, just say so without turning a corner."

Doom complained, but his body adjusted the state of the armor very honestly, restrained all the magic, and only used the scientific drive——

bass!

Flames erupted from the soles of the feet, and the enormous propulsion sent Doom into the sky.

Then--

Straight down!

If Matthew and Hulk don't catch him in time, he might even fall straight into a creek full of mysterious transparent substances that are extremely dangerous to carbon-based creatures.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm still alive."

Doom, who originally wanted to soar into the sky and make everyone admire him, turned out to be a near embarrassment. With the help of Matthew and Hulk, Doom stood up straight with difficulty: "Obviously we can't fly over, we have to find another way."

"What can be done?"

Matthew subconsciously looked at Hulk.

The same goes for everyone else.

Feeling the gaze of Matthew and others, Hulk immediately raised his head and chest, and shouted loudly: "Let Hulk try! Hulk must have a way to solve the trouble! Hulk is the most powerful!"

"Yes, you are the strongest among us, but this pool of water is too weird, I think we should be more cautious."

When Hulk volunteered, Matthew thought of a brilliant strategy and held down Hulk who was eager to try, squeezed out a drop of blood from his fingertips, and summoned Mephisto's undead knight commander Piero who had taken the initiative to obey him.

"I need you! Appear in front of me immediately!"

【Yes, my lord. 】

A muffled voice sounded, and then, a pair of burning eyes appeared in the glued air, followed by a head, a body, and a tall and straight undead horse.

[Undead Knight Commander Pierrot appeared upon summoning! 】

"very good……"

Matthew nodded pretendingly indifferent, pointed to the creek and said, "What is this?"

【Purified water. 】

"Purge?"

[Purification water that removes impurities from the body of the undead knight and enhances our abilities. 】

"How do humans cross the river of purified water? Without being purified into undead knights."

[I don’t know, but Piero heard that the purified water will temporarily stop flowing due to the high density of guilt. If there is a lot of guilt around the Lord, maybe you can try it. 】

Piero's questions to Matthew can be said to know everything without saying anything.

"Okay, I understand, you can go."

Matthew raised his hand to signal Piero to step back.

Piero took a step back: "Master, Lord Mephisto has sensed your arrival, and he will send troops to stop you. Do you need the personal protection of your servant?"

"Stay in Mephisto's castle temporarily and listen to his action plan."

【Yes. 】

As soon as the words fell, Pierrot, the undead knight commander, disappeared into the extremely sticky air due to the high-density purification factor.

Seeing this, Wanda said with emotion, "You really are very capable."

"Most members of the Constantine family are very accomplished in the field of interpersonal communication."

Matthew said with a smile, his eyes fell on Constantine.

Constantine couldn't help but tremble, and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Pierrot said that the high density of guilt can temporarily stop the flow of the stream. I want to test it."

"Are you going to let me try?"

"You are the one with the most guilt among us..." Matthew said indifferently, "If you can't do it, none of us can."

"There is some truth to that."

"So you're going to—"

"I reject!"

Constantine replied without hesitation: "This is hell. Maybe my sense of guilt is enough to stop the stream of purified water temporarily, but the purified water is not the only thing in the water. Doesn't it mean that if I do this, I will be sent to my door to be killed?"

"We will help you..." Matthew said, "We are here to protect you. If something happens, we will go into the water to help you."

"you sure?"

"Why should I lie to you? Because of the beautiful tradition of the Constantine family?"

"Uh..." Constantine was choked by Matthew and had nothing to say, and Wanda and Doom looked at him with burning eyes, so he had to take a breath and walked towards the clear and sticky stream.

Before officially rolling up his sleeves, he turned his head and told Matthew and the others: "If anything happens to me and you don't save me—"

"We are not as wicked as you!" The three said in unison.

Hulk didn't know what they were doing, seeing the four of them suddenly gathered together with serious expressions, they put their heads together curiously: "What are you doing?"

"We're doing something dangerous but necessary."

Matthew gently comforted Hulk.

Hulk nodded half-understood, put his hands on his knees, squatted aside, and looked at them with interest.

Constantine felt a lot of pressure.

But he finally put his hand into the stream.

Accompanied by the biting cold and severe pain, a large number of painful pasts that I thought I had completely forgotten rushed into the field of vision again, and the ghosts of the friends who died because of him appeared one after another, accompanied by ear-piercing screams and desperate accusations——

Noisy!Noisy!Noisy!

The transparent and viscous stream began to boil, emitting choking black smoke.

As Pierrot said, the high concentration of guilt makes the stream unbearable, showing signs of stagnation.

Seeing this scene, Wanda and Dum were overjoyed, and shouted at the same time: "Don't stop! Aggravate your memory! Use the guilt in your memory to stop the stream! This method will work!"

"I don't need—ah!"

Another desperate memory was uncovered, and Constantine, who was seized by a strong sense of guilt, even temporarily lost the ability to speak, and looked at Matthew in pain——

help me!

I need your help!

"I'll help you."

While speaking, Matthew walked up to Constantine and held his arm immersed in the purified water: "Trust me, you will not be taken away by the purified water, no!"

"I--"

Constantine, who was gradually recovering from his breath, turned his head and looked at Matthew sadly. There were countless regrets and despair in his eyes, as well as——

"Sure enough, I still did something wrong."

Following these words, the high-viscosity purified water that kept flowing slowly even though thick black smoke came out suddenly stopped flowing!

Doom and Wanda took the opportunity to walk across the dry creek.

Hulk didn't know what happened. Seeing Doom and Wanda walking over, he also followed.

Only Matthew knelt on one knee behind Constantine until his emotions calmed down, and then supported each other across the purification stream.

Not long after they walked across the stream, the purified water flowed again, and the stream became an unbridgeable chasm again.

……

For Wanda and Doom's selfishness, after crossing the purification stream, Constantine said nothing, and neither did Matthew.

The group continued on their way.

Soon, the night of hell came.

The blood-red deformed moon rises into the sky, and the wilderness resounds with howling monsters one after another.

Doom then suggested: "Find a place to rest?"

"You think we'll be traveling by night?"

Wanda asked Doom back.

"of course not."

Dum smiled subtly, stopped, and prepared to rest on the spot.

Matthew also felt that a dangerous place like hell is not suitable for traveling at night, so he accepted Dum's suggestion and found a safe corner protected from the wind by boulders, and the four of them worked together to create a barrier against the cold.

"Nothing should happen tonight."

"High probability?" Wanda said uncertainly.

Apart from the howling of wild beasts, she heard the melancholy and charming singing of the banshee outside. The singing was full of moving magic power, piercing through the heart, making one unconsciously think——

"Don't! Don't follow!"

Constantine grabbed Wanda who was attracted by the singing: "That's the singing of the Succubus Night Demon!"

"Succubus Night Demon?"

"Yes, a low-level creature that is common in hell. The only weapon is a hypnotic song..." Constantine said, "After hearing the song of the succubus night demon, the creature will often be seduced by the song and lose its resistance. , voluntarily walked into their lairs and became their delicacy."

"I just--"

"Well, a little bit."

Constantine nodded affirmatively.

When Wanda heard this, she looked at Constantine with emotion: "I treated you so selfishly before purifying the creek, but now you...but..."

"I've left my friends and escaped countless times before, so I don't blame anyone for making selfish decisions when it's life or death."

Constantine pretended to be magnanimous and said, backhanded, hiding the pre-recorded magic props that stored the singing of the Succubus Night Demon.

Matthew watched Constantine's every move and kept silent.

Wanda didn't know that everything just now was directed and acted by Constantine. After hearing what Constantine said, she became more and more guilty, and sincerely said to Constantine: "I'm sorry for you, I will never do anything to you in the future. For similar things, if I find a chance, I will definitely return this favor to you!"

"I don't need you to return my favor. I just hope that we can unite and find Mephisto as soon as possible to solve the problem."

Constantine tricked Wanda into apologizing with the singing of the Succubus Night Demon, and made Wanda make a moral promise to himself. Naturally, he didn't mind being as noble as possible in front of Wanda.

As for the actual—

It's not too late to wait until trouble arises.

Constantine thought cunningly.

Like Constantine, Doom is not a good person with good virtues.

Although he didn't see that the singing of the Succubus Night Demon was caused by Constantine, he could see that Constantine was seeking real benefits from Wanda through the singing of the Succubus Night Demon.

After Wanda was coaxed to sleep by Constantine, he walked to Constantine's side and gave Constantine a slight push.

"what?"

Constantine turned to look at Dum: "Although your face is very in line with my aesthetics, we should still take care of the thoughts of other members of the team."

"You thought I was going to—"

"Isn't it for dating P?"

Constantine asked Doom back.

Dum was choked and speechless: "I...I..."

"It's not for a date, why did you find me?"

"It's nothing..." Dum snorted uncomfortably, "I want to warn you, don't play tricks too much. Although our team is a temporary combination and everyone has their own little calculations, we don't allow members to go too far." Play tricks."

"How do you know I'm playing tricks? Because you want to play tricks too?"

Constantine looked at Doom with a smile.

Doom, who was told by Constantine about his true inner thoughts, laughed dryly and said, "How could I think of playing tricks all day long, I am a very serious magician."

"Come on, you're a villain, and I'm decent at times."

When he said this, Constantine's lips were pressed against Doom's ear. People who don't know their formal relationship may even suspect that they are indeed planning to have a date.

Even Matthew thinks so.

He turned over, turned his back to the two who were close together and said: "You better find a warmer place, but the temperature in hell will drop below freezing at night."

"We're not—"

"Then why are you so close?" Matthew asked back.

Konstantin and Dum, who were unwilling to say what they really thought, were dumbfounded for a moment, and bit the bullet to continue the conversation: "Yes, we have a little interest in each other, that's why we got close."

……

An unhappy night passed quickly.

The pale, lifeless sun that characterizes Hell slowly rises along the horizon.

Matthew glanced at the sun and beckoned his companions to go on the road.

Constantine and Doom, who had been staring wide-eyed all night, got up first. Wanda also opened her eyes after a short morning meditation and exhalation. Only Hulk wanted to sleep for a while, lying on the cold sand, that is refused to get up.

"Hulk, you can't do this! We are leaving."

"Can't you stay longer? Hulk wants to sleep."

Hulk muttered reluctantly.

Matthew comforted: "I know there is a place ahead where you can eat a lot of delicious things, but if you go late, there will be nothing to eat."

"Delicious food? What kind of delicious food?"

"The valley that punishes gluttons is full of barbecue cakes and all kinds of delicacies that you can think of and can't think of. If you go late, the delicacies will turn into hard and cold stones."

"Won't you turn into stone if you eat it?" Hulk asked innocently.

Matthew nodded affirmatively.

When Hulk heard this, he immediately jumped up and shouted: "Hulk wants to eat delicious food! Hulk is going to Gluttony Valley to eat a lot of delicious food! Hulk likes to eat delicious food the most!"

Before Matthew showed the way, he was already dancing and running forward.

Seeing this, Wanda couldn't help feeling: "Why did we bring Hulk?"

"He is the strongest tank, don't think about the others."

Doom comforts Wanda.

Wanda thought about it and decided to accept Dum's setting.

……

Hulk ran all the way, rushed into the valley of gluttony, looked at the delicious food in the valley, couldn't help laughing again and again: "Hulk likes to eat roast chicken! Roast pig! Roast sheep! Roast cake! And wine! All of them are Hulk favorite!"

While talking, Hulk opened his big hand, grabbed the food and put it in his mouth. One bite of a chicken leg, three bites of a roast suckling pig, and the three-layer cake was eaten in just 5 minutes.

He ate crazily in the Gluttony Valley at a super speed that was overwhelming. The evil spirits trapped in the Gluttony Valley were all stunned by Hulk's eating speed, and floated to his side, looking at Hulk in pain and greed.

【Why!Why! 】

"what are you guys saying?"

Suddenly hearing the grudges of the evil spirits, Hulk dug his ears and found a large group of evil spirits around him. He was shocked: "Why don't you eat? There are delicious food everywhere!"

【We...we...】

At this time, the evil spirits have discovered that Hulk is not a soul that fell into hell, his body actually exists, so the feeling of food entering his body is also real.

[Why is this happening!Here is hell!There are only evil spirits and demons in hell, why are there humans!How did you get in! 】

"Hulk likes to eat the delicious food here, you also come to eat with Hulk?"

Hulk couldn't understand the whispers of the evil spirits, so he generously invited the evil spirits to enjoy the food with him.

Most of the evil spirits trapped in the Valley of Gluttony did vicious and evil things in order to enjoy delicious food. Now they are locked in the Valley of Gluttony and suffer, and they inevitably feel anger, despair and strong unwillingness in their hearts.

Especially seeing Hulk eating so happily.

Their unwillingness exploded wildly, roaring and threatening around Hulk——

[Do you want to stay here forever!How dare you eat the food here! 】

[All the food here will turn into stones after entering the stomach, you just wait to be crushed to death by the stones in your stomach! 】

[What an ignorant guy, he dares to enjoy delicious food here! 】

[I'm waiting for you to become one of us! 】

【I have seen you...】

……

"Shut up! Don't let Hulk eat!"

Hulk's ears hurt from the chattering evil spirits, and he yelled angrily: "Keep on arguing, Hulk is going to get angry!"

【angry?what can you do to us 】

【We are evil spirits, you are a living person, can a living person kill the evil spirit again? 】

【Or are you also going to become an evil spirit and suffer with us? 】

【Indeed, you should become evil spirits with us!Pain together! 】

The evil spirits can't kill the evil spirits relying on the living, and they are crazily noisy around Hulk.

However, living people cannot kill evil spirits, and Hulk is not a living person in the ordinary sense.

What's more, Hulk has four magician companions.

While the undead were chattering around the Hulk, Matthew and the others also arrived at the Valley of Gluttony. Looking at the delicious food all over the mountains and plains, their emotions were a little broken.

Although they are generally not paranoid about food, but——

"It's a gluttony paradise, isn't it?"

Doom was the first to air his thoughts.

Wanda nodded, picked a rock sugar cream fruit that fell from the chocolate tree, and put it in her mouth: "It's very sweet and very fragrant."

"Everything here is edible, as long as you can bear the price of overeating..." Constantine reminded, "I once traveled here in an out-of-body state, and was almost trapped here forever."

"Why aren't you trapped here forever?"

Wanda exclaimed: "If a bastard like you is left forever in hell, it must be the luck of the world!"

"you sure?"

"Well, for yesterday's sake, I temporarily recognize your qualifications as a companion, and I will try my best not to dislike you anymore."

After a night of thinking, Wanda realized that she had been deceived and glared at Constantine angrily.

Constantine smiled hypocritically and said, "I'm already excellent."

"But you shouldn't have lied to me. You should have lied to me in that way." Wanda reminded Constantine, "Although I'm next to the purification stream, what I did was indeed a bit unkind."

"We've all done unkind things, why don't we cancel each other out?"

"Okay, I accept your offset request." Wanda said with a gloomy expression.

Constantine picked off the branches of the chocolate tree, put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly, and at the same time said to the undead who surrounded him, "What do you want to do?"

【Constantine!He is Constantine! 】

The undead shouted angrily and excitedly.

Constantine smiled indifferently: "Have I ever cheated you?"

【you you……】

Enraged by Constantine's shamelessness, the undead were so angry that they wanted to curse, but they couldn't curse anything, so they could only circle around Constantine.

until they saw Matthew—

In an instant, the undead around Constantine disappeared without a trace like dark clouds after the sun came out.

Hulk, who was getting used to being harassed by countless undead in the middle of eating, was stunned. He stopped eating the roasted lamb with his left hand and the cake with his right hand, and asked Matthew innocently: "When you came, they all stopped suddenly..."

"Maybe it's because I have the aura of a great demon on my body."

Matthew picked up a plate of seafood at hand, smelled it, and didn't eat.

Constantine: "Don't like it?"

"Food is not necessary to me."

"But it's important to me."

Constantine took the large plate of seafood from Matthew's hand: "I need delicious food to take away my troubles."

"Can delicious food take away troubles?"

Wanda couldn't believe it.

"Eating a lot of food triggers the hypothalamus to release hormones that create feelings of happiness," says Dum.

"All right……"

Wanda accepted Dum's explanation and looked around, but couldn't find any food that fit her taste.

She laughed at herself and said, "I'm so unlucky, I can't even do something as simple as eating to divert my emotions!"

"Maybe it's just that there isn't anything you like to eat here."

While speaking, Matthew conjured up a cup of magic herbal tea, which was exactly the cup of tea Wanda poured him when he visited Wanda deep in the Rocky Mountains: "This cup of tea may be what you need right now."

"thanks……"

Wanda took the herbal tea, and her uneasy mood gradually calmed down.

at the same time--

Strange, who was meditating by the gate of hell, opened his eyes and looked at the pale and skinny demon in front of him: "Who are you?"

【I, the king of hell, the first fallen! 】

The First Fallen announced proudly.

Strange snorted disdainfully, and said, "Oh! So the shameful devil who loses to John Constantine every time looks like this, no wonder you can't always win!"
