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

After playing exhaustedly, Lucifer fished out Matthew, who was almost submerged in the water, and asked him with a smile, "How does it feel to face Belial head-on?"

"Very bad, almost died at his hands."

Recalling what happened in Belial Palace, Matthew was in a bad mood.

Lucifer poked his tall nose with his hand, and said, "But you won in the end."

"Because I have a reason why I can't lose..." Matthew said, "This is an unequal competition. No matter how many times Beryl loses, as long as he wins once, he will win everything, but for me, as long as he loses once, everything will be over." , even if all the previous matches ended in victory."

"You bet your all?"

"Yes."

Matthew opened his eyes and looked at Lucifer in confusion: "Maze said that I have been reborn more than once..."

"The soul will always be reincarnated in different bodies, which is the so-called rebirth."

Lucifer calmly avoided Matthew's question.

Matthew put his arm around his neck, put his ear against his ear, and spit out the spiritual text that Lucifer said to him when they first met in Los Angeles: "What does this word mean?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you for the time being." Lucifer said tenderly, "Once you know what it means, our relationship will have to face a huge change, and I may lose you."

"but……"

"Really want to know? Even if the price is to lose everything you have?"

"I……"

Matthew hesitated.

He doesn't mind losing all the physical things he has right now, but he—

Looking into Lucifer's eyes, Matthew couldn't help but get scared.

He instinctively hugged Lucifer tightly, using the warmth of his body to drive away the panic deep in his heart: "I don't want to lose you, just like I don't want to lose...lose..."

"I know……"

Lucifer lowered his head fondly and caressed his face: "You are always afraid, afraid of your past, afraid of your future, only when I stay by your side, you don't have to be afraid at all."

"Yes……"

Matthew leaned on Lucifer's shoulder, feeling the warmth that permeated his soul.

……

The superheroes are all adults and never interfere with the night life of their companions. Even if they find an unknown outsider in Matthew's room, they will only laugh and joke when they meet in the morning: "Do you need to bring a breakfast back to the room? "

"No..." Matthew said, "human food is not necessary for him to sustain life."

"So what you are doing is non-human? It is worthy of the Constantine family!"

The Martian girl showed an excited smile: "Is it a demon? Or an angel?"

"Both a devil and an angel..." Circus said, "He used to be an angel, and now he is also an angel and a devil."

"It turned out to be a fallen angel."

The Martian girl smiled happily, and asked with her shoulders crossed, "Isn't it exciting to be with a fallen angel? I mean his technique—"

"Excellent……"

Matthew commented sincerely.

Martian Girl: "How great is it?"

"of course--"

"If your curiosity is overwhelming, we might as well discuss it together."

Lucifer opened the door and looked at the Martian girl with a wide smile.

His countenance was as bright and holy as the morning light.

The Martian girl seemed to see the most terrifying existence in the world, and exclaimed: "Matthew! You are...you are really crazy!"

Before she finished speaking, the Martian girl turned around and ran away.

Matthew was a little surprised.

Lucifer's human form is obviously a standard handsome man on earth. Why would a Martian girl who has the aesthetics of an earth person and has been in love with Yeyi and even had a relationship run away screaming after seeing Lucifer?

"Is the you in her eyes different from the you in my eyes?"

"Yes..." Lucifer said, "I do look different in the eyes of people on Earth and in the eyes of Martians."

"Then you in her eyes..."

"You never want to know the answer to that question."

While speaking, Lucifer saw half a glass of milk in Matthew's hand: "Is it specially brought to me?"

"This one……"

"I know……"

Lucifer lowered his head and took the milk with an ambiguous smile: "Do you like white sticky things?"

"It's human nature, isn't it?"

"I understand."

With that said, the two returned to the room.

……

After running [-] meters, the turbulent emotions gradually stabilized, and the Martian girl who bumped into Dick stopped: "I'm sorry, I—"

"what's wrong?"

"No... nothing..."

The Martian girl said anxiously.

She couldn't remember why she ran wildly in the corridor of the hotel. She only vaguely remembered that she saw something very scary just now, which had nothing to do with ugliness, and was closer to something beyond cognition.

"Nothing? Your face looks..."

"Nothing, really nothing! It must be because I didn't sleep well last night!"

The Martian girl struggles to find excuses for her unusual behavior.

When she heard Barbara's voice from Dick's room—

"You are together again!"

"No, it's not what you think it is, Barbara and I were simply—"

"Let's talk about work in bed? Kiss by the way?"

The Martian girl looked at Dick jealously: "You really like her more!"

"I--"

"Don't worry, I won't bring these emotions into team work!"

Saying so, the Martian girl pushed Dick away and returned to the room.

She had already forgotten about meeting Lucifer earlier, but deep down in her heart, there was always an unspeakable fear and uneasiness.

……

"Bruce..."

Dick walked into Batman's room a little primly: "I have something very personal and I want to ask your opinion."

"what's up?"

Batman, who had just sent off Superman who had been talking about work with him all night, rubbed his brows: "About the girlfriend?"

"Yes……"

Dick walked up to Batman: "If there are two girls who love you very much, and you love them too, how do you balance this relationship when you meet each other?"

"The three people you mentioned are currently in an environment?"

"Yes."

"Then you have to calm down and ask yourself, who is the most important one in your heart?"

"They're both important..." Dick said without thinking. "I can't decide which is more important to me."

"Then—"

Batman's own emotional problems are also in a mess, and it is difficult for Batman to give weighty advice for a while, so he can only laugh at himself: "For the time being, just talk to them about work. In addition, don't talk to them outside of work. Any one alone."

"Maintain triangular balance?"

"Solving Metropolis' troubles is the most important thing right now," Batman said.

As soon as the words fell, the glass wall behind him suddenly cracked!

The burning transparent man appeared again.

"It seems that we have become his enemies?"

Batman was talking to himself, and the cloak with his backhand flew over to wrap around the burning transparent man who broke the glass and broke into the hotel room.

However, the transparent person's body is purely transparent, and the cloak passes through the transparent person's body like passing through the air, and it doesn't even make the flames blazing around the transparent person's body shake slightly.

"How is this going?"

Dick was surprised.

When he heard Matthew and Harry describe the burning transparent man, he still didn't believe that someone in the world could be as transparent as air and attack everyone around him.

"I don't know what it is! But he must be stopped! Find his weakness!"

Batman stopped in front of the burning transparent man without hesitation, ready to fight the enemy close to hand.

Superman also flew to Batman's room when he heard the movement, and stared intently at the burning transparent man with his see-through eyes: "How could this happen! There is nothing!"

"Nothing at all?"

Hearing this sentence, the other heroes who came were stunned.

They originally thought that the transparent people used some kind of potion or magic to make themselves transparent by refracting light, but they still existed.

did not expect--

"We want to catch alive!"

Luther made a quick decision.

He suspected that the wishing black box turned the mysterious enemy in front of him into a burning transparent person.

Just like Superman took out the holy grail of flowing source materials from the black box, and Eve ate the golden apple from the black box!

"He may be able to help us unlock the secret of the black box!"

"But we have absolutely no idea how to catch him!"

Dick yelled, "Or do you have a way?"

"This one……"

Luther hesitated.

He is the smartest person on earth, but that doesn't mean he has a good grasp of unknown phenomena.

"We can turn to magic!"

Luther had an idea.

As soon as the words fell, Rachel's dark magic was suppressed.

However, the magic fell through.

The burning transparent man was completely unaffected by Rachel's magic as if he didn't exist in this world, and continued to attack Batman and Nightwing!

"What should I do now? He's not in this space at all!"

Rachel called out her discovery.

"No wonder!"

Batman and Nightwing, who were being attacked by the burning transparent man, suddenly realized why almost all attacks were ineffective against the enemy in front of them.

but--

Knowing the reason does not mean that the problem can be solved. The burning transparent man relied on the fact that he and they do not belong to the same space, but after Rachel revealed the secret, his aggressive behavior became more and more unscrupulous!

"It looks like we have to—"

Superman decides to use a more powerful state.

He couldn't see his friends in danger.

However, just as Superman was getting ready—

The burning transparent man suddenly disappeared out of thin air!

Disappeared very suddenly, even more suddenly than his appearance!

"How is this going?"

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and finally all their eyes fell on Matthew who appeared at the door of the room.

"When you showed up, he ran away," said Dick. "Same as last time."

"Do you think there is a special connection between me and the burning transparent man?" Matthew said, "under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be suspected that there is something in me that restrains him? Or he dare not talk to him for some unknown reason. I meet?"

"Normal circumstances do not apply to members of the Constantine family."

Batman said to Matthew in his usual deep voice: "We all know that the Constantine family is skilled in methods that ordinary people can't think of."

"Yes." Matthew said, "But this does not mean that the sudden departure of the transparent man has absolutely nothing to do with me. If I knew the reason for his sudden departure, I would not hide it. Wait!"

He suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked at him one after another: "What do you remember?"

"Los Angeles! I remember! Wishing Angels of Los Angeles!"

Matthew shouted excitedly: "Don't you think the current situation is very similar to the wishing angel incident in Los Angeles? I'm talking about the black boxes brought out of the basement."

"really……"

The superheroes who have heard about the wishing angel incident in Los Angeles all showed a look of sudden realization.

Although the form of expression and the way of realization are different, the magical item that the person who opens the box will appear after opening the black box is indeed very similar to the wishing stickers distributed by the wishing angels that can distort and realize the user's inner wishes !

Even, the black box looks like the original state of the wishing angel and wishing stickers!

"It's a pity that the wishing angel has died, and we can't get more information by asking her." Matthew said regretfully, "Although she has done some excessive things, she is a good girl in essence."

"You are also a good person. May Anya find eternal peace in heaven."

Superman patted Matthew on the shoulder tenderly.

Regarding the Angel of Wish incident in Los Angeles, there are still many details that only the parties concerned have not made public. However, Superman is upright and kind. Knowing that Matthew is a witness to this incident, he still chooses not to ask further questions, for fear that excessive inquiries will touch the pain of the parties involved.

"Heaven?"

Because of the word Superman, Matthew's lips curled into a smile: "I have a relationship in heaven! You can go to heaven and ask!"

"what?"

All the heroes were taken aback when they heard the words, and then smiled in relief.

As expected of Constantine, whether it is heaven or hell, they have a relationship.

……

Matthew's heavenly relationship is Aziraphale.

During the events in New York, Aziraphale enlisted the help of several archangels for his demon friend to return to Heaven on his own initiative.

And the archangel headed by Michael learned that it was the Queen of Sheba in the Bible who caused the riots in New York, and dozens of pagan gods living in seclusion in New York who might die at any time due to the lack of extinct believers intend to join the battle to seize After the Godhead of the Goddess of Sheba, he decisively joined the war, and continued to kill the cybermen and other existences that did not belong to this era in New York after the war.

At this point, the relationship between Aziraphale and Heaven has been completely restored.

But because he prefers to stay in the human world and live the life of a foolish couple eating, drinking, having fun, shopping and jogging the streets with his Serpent of Eden, he still stays in the human world after the war and can contact him at will.

After dismissing the heroes led by Superman and Batman, Matthew began to summon Aziraphale.

"Aziraphale, I need your help. To be precise, I want you to go to heaven and bring a soul down."

[Why did you suddenly make such a strange request? 】

Before Aziraphale could answer, Crowley's voice rang in Matthew's ears.

Immediately afterwards, images of angels and demons appeared in the mirror, dressed in crisp clothes, with a table of delicacies in the middle, lit candles and decorated with roses.

A standard candlelit dinner scene, Matthew thought.

"Hey--"

"Hey!"

The angel turned his head and responded to Matthew's greeting: "When you were looking for me, we were..."

"A restaurant in Paris?"

"Restaurants in London..." Angel added with a smile, "the chef is French, you know the British are usually not good at food."

"I know that too."

Matthew nodded in agreement.

Crowley shook the napkin in his hand: "You haven't explained why you suddenly came to Yaz, and said it was such a strange request to go to heaven to bring a soul down, Matthew?"

"I'm very happy to help you, of course I can help..." Aziraphale said, "Can you tell me what happened?"

"I need Anya's soul to answer some questions for me..." Matthew said, "I'm in Metropolis right now, and some strange troubles have happened here."

"Make a wish?"

"It's similar to making a wish, but it's more troublesome than making a wish."

Afterwards, Matthew briefly talked about the black box, emphasizing that although the black box is a one-time item, it has the particularity of making a wish to appear a magical item.

"Don't you guys see a weird parallel between this situation and the Angel of Wishing incident in Los Angeles?"

"It does sound like there's a certain resemblance..." Aziraphale said, "but I have to tell you the unfortunate fact that Anya doesn't remember everything that happened after her death. To be precise, she had All the memories before the moment in Auschwitz concentration camp, but everything after death, including everything that happened after being resurrected by a mysterious force and became a wishing angel, she doesn't remember at all!"

Having said that, Aziraphael paused for a moment: "Even so, you still want to see Anya's soul?"

"I……"

Matthew thought for a moment, nodded firmly, and asked the angel: "What price do I have to pay for this meeting?"

"To make a deal with heaven, you don't need to pay any price except for your firm belief..." Aziraphale said, "But you have no faith, which is very..."

"Who made me a devil already?"

Matthew smiled wryly, ready to—

"You saved L.A. and you saved New York, and the gratitude for that outweighs the fact that you're a demon without faith."

While speaking, Aziraphale plucked a feather from his back: "I will pay the price for you."

"Thank you, Aziraphale."

Matthew sincerely thanked the kind angel.

Although this behavior did not have any accidents, Crowley rolled his eyes.

……

It takes about an hour to bring Anya's soul from heaven to Metropolis.

Matthew stood in front of the glass wall, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, he felt a little hot behind him, and before he turned his head, the fiery breath that belonged to Lucifer had enveloped his whole body: "Why do you ask Aziraphale for help?"

"Because this kind of trivial matter is not worth your own hands."

"But if I suddenly want to..."

"Aziraphale has promised me..." Matthew said, "He will bring Anya's soul to Metropolis soon."

"Even if Anya doesn't remember anything?"

"You really don't remember anything?"

Matthew was taken aback.

When Aziraphale said that Anya's soul did not have any memory of being reborn as a wishing angel after death, he was actually lucky and thought that he could use special means to find clues from Anya's soul.

Now, Lucifer also said that Anya's soul couldn't remember anything during the Angel of Wishing period, and Matthew's heart suddenly went cold.

"Then don't we have to..."

"It is impossible for anything that has happened not to leave traces in history..." Lucifer said, "Just find the right way to open it."

"But I..."

"you have me……"

Lucifer lowered his head, and pressed his earlobe tenderly, moist and heavy.

"This is--"

"A little gift for you can affect Anya's soul."

After the words fell, Lucifer had disappeared.

But the air in the room still lingers with the scorching heat that belongs only to the King of Hell.

……

Aziraphale was always efficient.

One hour to one minute, he had brought Anya's soul to Matthew.

only--

Anya in Matthew's memory is a lonely girl transformed into a wishing angel, but Anya standing in front of Matthew is the image of a woman in her 30s. Because she is in the form of a soul, her whole body is glowing, like a real angel.

"We all know that Anya was Magneto's mother during her lifetime..." Aziraphale explained, "Anya who was resurrected by a mysterious force to become a wishing angel is not the real Anya."

"Yes……"

Matthew nodded heavily.

Although he had already prepared for disappointment, he still——

"Hello, Ms. Anya."

Matthew tried his best to smile and say hello to the poor woman who was gentle and kind but died tragically in Auschwitz concentration camp.

【Hello. 】

Anya looked at Matthew tenderly.

She has no afterlife memory, so not only does she not know that her son has grown up to be Magneto who made the world tremble, she doesn't even know that the war is long over and the Führer is buried with the Nazis.

She looked at the bustling metropolis full of tall buildings in horror, and asked cautiously: "What time is it now? Have the Germans ruled the world? Is Marx still alive?"

Max Eisenhardt is the real name of Magneto.

"Mago...max is alive and well. He left Auschwitz, met like-minded friends, married someone who loved him, and gave birth to children with outstanding abilities. Today's He was very well respected and had a fantastic career."

Matthew continued: "The war is over, the Germans were defeated by the Soviet Union and the United States, they failed to rule the world, and the Führer committed suicide in [-]. Into Auschwitz and other Nazis with you The Jewish survivors of the concentration camps have all been freed."

【Really?The world has become so beautiful? 】

Anya showed a gratified smile, and then looked at the bustling scenery of the metropolis, tears flickered in the ghost's eyes.

【Very good!The war is over!My countrymen are liberated!My child Max is also... still alive...]

"lady--"

Matthew interrupted Mrs. Anya's intoxication and asked, "Do you remember what happened after your death?"

【What happens after death? 】

Mrs. Anya looked at Matthew in confusion.

[After I died, I was taken to heaven, where I lived with my childhood friends...]

"Other than that?"

[What else happened besides this? 】

Mrs. Anya became more and more at a loss.
