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

"I thought this incident would offend you, but since you are also looking forward to meeting him, I am relieved."

Batman answered Matthew with ease.

Superman on the side was very unhappy.

As soon as Matthew left the room, he immediately asked Batman: "Bruce, why didn't you ask Zatanna to bring Constantine to Metropolis without discussing it with me? What if the father and son meet and have a very unpleasant meeting?"

"I can't have the whole Metropolis with us on this adventure..." Batman said, "I have to find out who he really is."

"You suspect—"

"Even with black magic, it's impossible to create something out of nothing..." Batman said, "the only possibility is that he's lying."

"But--"

Superman always feels that since he has chosen Matthew as his companion, he should fully trust this companion, no matter how many secrets he has.

"Bruce, assuming your suspicion is wrong, Matthew is indeed Constantine's son, and their father-son relationship is very bad, and they use magic to fight as soon as they meet..."

Superman was a little speechless.

His personality is as pure and fiery as the sun, and he has never been good at scheming.

To this, Batman replied: "Then I will take this opportunity to learn more about them."

"Bruce!"

Superman gets angry and turns around and flies out of the room.

Batman looked up at Matthew who had a relaxed expression on the monitor, and his heart was clouded again.

……

【Respected and great master, you are about to meet John Constantine, how do you feel?Perhaps you should set aside time to listen to some very credible advice from your devout, humble and faithful servant, Kespler. 】

As soon as Matthew walked out of the room, the system began to lure him with complicated and fancy sentences.

[John Constantine is a dangerous guy who is very cautious, cunning and occasionally schizophrenic, and he has a strong talent for black magic. He will easily see through your disguise and decide whether to expose it after a short period of stake your identity.

If you still want to stay in Metropolis to search for the whereabouts of the genesis energy fragments, you must stabilize him and gain the trust of the members of the Justice League headed by Batman through him...]

I know these things even if you don't tell them.

Matthew interrupted the system impatiently.

The system did not give up.

[Respected and great master, you may grow into an omnipotent existence in the future, but you are still very young now, and you need the considerate care of me who is small.

And the impending meeting with John Constantine could turn into a colossal crisis if not for the small but loyal and humble me who advises you. 】

what do you want to say in the end?

Matthew interrupted the system's chatter again.

Intuition told him that the system wanted to make a deal with him, a very dangerous deal.

【Respected and great master, your devout, humble and loyal servant Kespler thinks that you should probably prepare some magic items in advance for tomorrow’s meeting between father and son, and most of these magic items are stored in Kespler’s collection. It can be called freely at a small cost.Believe Kesipler, this is a very cost-effective transaction, and what you pay must be far less than what you get. 】

I see……

Matthew made a gesture of sudden realization: tell me, what price do you want me to pay?What trade items can you offer?

【Respected and great master, your humble, loyal and prudent servant, Kespler, has never thought of betraying his master, let alone taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail his master...]

Don't talk nonsense, get straight to the point!

Matthew raised his hand to make a gesture of scratching the transparent panel.

He does already have such strength.

The system feels threatened and dare not continue to play word games. The transparent panel is full of lists of collection items and the magical price that needs to be paid to use these items.

Matthew had known for a long time that the system had bad intentions and had been hiding something from himself, but he didn't expect this guy to hide so many good things, comparable to the treasure house of the temple.

【Respected and great master, for the upcoming crisis of father-son meeting, your devout, humble and loyal servant suggests that you take out the silk brand cigarettes in your collection.Constantine is a smoker, and he will not refuse a cigarette, even if it is a magic item disguised as a cigarette. 】

What is so special about this pack of cigarettes?

Matthew didn't want to listen to the system's rambling, and asked to get straight to the point.

[As long as Constantine smokes this pack of magic cigarettes, he will naturally reach a father-son contract with the master. At least, in this world, he will no longer deny his father-son relationship with the master. 】

So amazing?

[Hell is vast and boundless, and it is naturally full of all kinds of magical magic items. 】

Ok……

Matthew glanced at the exchange price and was sure he could afford it, so he nodded and accepted.

Snapped!

Just after clicking "OK", the magic cigarette, which has no difference in appearance from the ordinary cigarettes sold in the vending machine, fell into Matthew's pocket.

Matthew touched the cigarette case and walked into the room.

……

All night, Matthew slept soundly.

The morning sun shone on his face, blinding his eyes.

Then, the room service phone rang.

"Good morning, Mr. Matthew. What kind of breakfast do you like? Do you need room service?"

"I need a standard breakfast, delivered to my room," Matthew said.

"Mr. Matthew, please wait a moment."

The waiter answered Matthew with a pleasant voice.

After half an hour—

Breakfast delivered to...

Zatanna came too.

Matthew looked at this beautiful and intelligent magician without surprise: "Hello, Miss Zatanna."

"See you again, Matthew."

Zatanna looked at Matthew friendly: "Want to meet your father?"

"He doesn't mind, and I naturally don't mind either."

Matthew, who put the magic cigarette on the coffee table early, drank coffee with a smile on his face.

"That--"

Zatana raised her hand and released a magical communication.

The face of John Constantine appeared on the real-time magic communication screen: "You are—"

"In theory, I am your son."

Realizing that John Constantine didn't want to meet him, Matthew said confidently: "If you don't admit me, I won't regret it. I'm an adult, I can support myself, and I won't sue you for alimony and compensation."

"I have to say that your calmness has seriously exceeded my expectations."

Across the screen, Constantine was also looking at Matthew: "You have the devil blood of the Constantine family."

"Yes..." Matthew said, "Because of this bloodline, my childhood was rougher than that of ordinary people, but also because of the devil's blood, I finally became who I am now."

"Hate me? I am the source of the demon blood in your body."

Constantine, who was obviously aware of it, looked at Matthew subtly.

Matthew: "I never hated you."

"No love either?"

"Do you want me to love you?"

Matthew smiled slyly: "The Constantine family is a cursed family, and love is too much of a luxury for them. The love that exists between blood relatives may lead to terrible tragedies at any time, isn't it?"

"you are right."

John Constantine, who was unwilling to face the scars caused by Matthew's words, said sadly: "Love is indeed too extravagant for the Constantine family."

"If possible, I hope that we will never meet. Of course, I will not refuse a meeting purely for work needs."

Matthew didn't want to go around in circles, and just spoke his mind.

John Constantine readily accepted: "This is a good way to avoid a tragedy from happening again."

"That--"

"I accept……"

"thanks……"

Matthew smiled sincerely. Before the smile was over, John Constantine in the magic screen had disappeared without a trace.

Matthew looked at Zatana: "Do you think the communication between John and my father and son is incomprehensible?"

"If you were not Constantine, I would indeed find the content of your communication as strange and incomprehensible as a riddle..." Zatanna said, "But the Constantine family..."

"The curse planted in the blood has caused this family to have repeated tragedies..." Matthew said, "All living members of the Constantine family must keep a distance from other members of the family as much as possible to prevent tragedies from happening again."

"so he……"

"He stays away from you because he still loves you."

Matthew spoke half-truth.

Zatanna obviously believed Matthew's words, with emotional tears flickering in her charming eyes: "John, he is always like this... like this... others say he is a prodigal son, likes to play with his feelings, and will not give to anyone Sincerely, but I know...he...he desires sincere love more than anyone else...he is cursed by the blood of the family and has to..."

"Yes, he loves you."

In order to make Zatanna believe in her words, Matthew took the initiative to add the power of Dream Stone to her voice.

After listening to Matthew's words, Zatana, who was deeply in love with John Constantine, gradually calmed down.

She said to Matthew: "Maybe Bruce and the others have doubts about you, but I will always believe in you."

"thanks……"

"You continue to enjoy your breakfast, I'll go out for a while."

Saying that, Zatana walked out of Matthew's room.

Matthew also put away the magic cigarettes he got from the system.

……

"He, like John, bears the curse of the Constantine family. They must be separated for a long time, and it is best never to meet."

After recounting the general situation after the father and son met, Zatanna added: "This is probably the sad fate that the Constantine family will never be able to avoid."

"So he really is John Constantine's son? And you trust him completely?"

Batman looked at Zatanna in surprise.

He never doubted Matthew's identity as a member of the Constantine family. He only wanted to know who Matthew was through John Constantine. His instinct told him that Matthew had been lying.

But he didn't expect Zatanna to have such a high evaluation of Matthew, even to the point of incomparable trust.

Moreover, John Constantine directly avoided direct contact with Matthew.

Of course, the latter is also routine for Batman.

After all, Constantine has a sharper sense of crisis than sharks. Unless he caused trouble, he must run far away before the trouble formed.

Thinking of this, Batman emphasized to Zatanna: "Don't forget, Matthew's past is blank."

"A magician's past is often what kills them..." Zatanna said, "Just as Achilles had to protect his heels, so a magician will deliberately erase his past to hide his weakness."

"but I--"

"Bruce, I know that you are a resourceful and far-sighted person. You are always ready to face betrayal from your companions. You need to master the weaknesses of all your companions, but this does not mean that your companions are obliged to hand over their weaknesses to you. ..."

Zatanna said, "At least, Matthew didn't want us to know his weakness."

"All right……"

Batman had to temporarily accept Zatanna's suggestion.

Zatana walked out of the room with a smile, greeted the Titans members, casually—

"Hey, Clark—"

"Zatana? When did you arrive?"

"An hour ago..." Zatana said, "I have met with Matthew, and Constantine has also talked with him face to face. There is no doubt about his identity."

"Does Bruce accept that conclusion?"

Clark, who never doubted Matthew, asked Zatanna.

Zatanna: "He didn't like it, but he didn't object."

"That……"

Superman looked around: "Where is Constantine?"

"He didn't want to bring bad luck to you, and he left after meeting Matthew..." Zatana said with a little helplessness, "You know, the Constantine family will always bring some bad luck to the friends around them. good stuff..."

"I understand his avoidance, although I would love to see him."

"That……"

Zatana looked around: "What happened in Metropolis, how is the investigation going? Do you need my help?"

"Keller's whereabouts have been preliminarily identified."

Dick, Tim, and Connor, who had been busy outside all night, opened the window and entered the room, just in time to catch the topic of Superman and Zatanna: "He is indeed the burning transparent man we are looking for."

"As for the method of detaining the burning transparent man, Luthor already has a complete plan..." Connor added, "Of course, it would be even better if Keller could be persuaded to stay in the interstellar laboratory and take the initiative to accept detainment. "

"Keller?"

Zatanna, who already knew that Metropolis was haunted by the burning transparent man but didn't know that the burning transparent man was named Kyle, looked at the three young superheroes with a little confusion: "Is he the burning transparent man's real name?"

"Yes, Keller is the burning transparent man..." Dick said, "The cause of the incident is very unfortunate. He didn't want to become the burning transparent man."

"Do you need my help in the detention process?" Zatanna said, "As far as I know, physical attacks are difficult to have an effect on transparent people."

"Zatana, you want to help us?"

"I've come to the Met, of course I can't just do nothing."

Zatanna smiled brightly, and a bouquet of roses appeared in her hand: "For you, Connor, Tim."

"thanks……"

The young couple accepted Zatana's engagement blessing with a smile.

……

In a corner where the sunlight of the metropolis can’t reach, a mass of clothes is closely assembled in the form of a human being, with painful panting from time to time under the hood. Even cockroaches passing by here can’t help but suspect that there is a transparent bodies, if they possess the ability to think.

Keller saw swarms of cockroaches running past.

He didn't kill them.

Ever since he accidentally became a transparent person, his life has been completely changed. He can't even touch his last relatives. He lives in the dark corners of the city like mice and cockroaches. Only hatred can make him occasionally realize that he is a living person.

Driven by anger, he killed Jem who had lured him astray, and then used his transparent advantage to sneak into the prison and strangle Jem's brother Jimmy who was in jail.

He also once wanted to kill Jimmy's ex-girlfriend, but when he broke into that unlucky woman's room, he saw unfathomable darkness!

He was overwhelmed by the darkness and had to leave.

After that, he hunted down the woman again, and was frightened by the darkness again.

"Maybe, I should choose to die, if I know how to make myself die."

Keller, who was curled up in the corner, was talking to himself.

He is gradually losing even the power of hatred.

The magical transparent drug gave him supernatural powers, but also destroyed his basic needs as a human being.

The first thing to be destroyed is the appetite.

After realizing that he had become a transparent person, he immediately ran to the supermarket to get his favorite potato chips, but eating the potato chips turned out to trigger the desire to vomit!

Thinking it was just a change in taste, he sneaked into the back kitchen of a high-end restaurant and took away the delicious food carefully prepared by the top chef, but the delicious food burned his throat like a raging fire!

Losing his appetite, he stumbled into the changing room of high school girls, trying to heal his wounded soul with a healthy and beautiful young body, but when the girls showed their youthful curves, he suddenly felt a giant hand stretching into their belly and wringing their intestines The agony of the Tao!

Since then, he has tried all kinds of things that he wanted to do but dared not to do, and without exception, he received unimaginable torture. The things that could bring him happiness in the past also lost the familiar happiness, and the boundless pain was like a black cloud. The same hung over his head.

He wanted to end this pain, but he couldn't even kill himself.

He is like a ghost hiding in the darkness where the sun cannot shine, gradually rotting from the depths of his soul.

Who can kill me!

who can...

"is it here?"

Connor and Tim, who received the information, arrived at the scene almost at the same time, looking at the pile of clothes sitting next to the garbage dump and the transparent body under the clothes.

"Hello, Kyler, we're—"

Having said that, Connor scratched his hair.

He didn't know how to say "we're here to arrest you to the research institute" in a calm tone that didn't scare the other party at all.

But he finally explained his purpose: "Keller, your current situation is very dangerous, you should go back with us, let us help you."

"I don't need your help!"

Not long ago, Keller, who was secretly sad that he had ended his life through normal channels, roared angrily.

He took off the clothes covering his transparent body, took a deep breath, and prepared to—

"Don't let him burn!"

Tim yells...

Based on the experience of previous confrontations and the unintentional footage captured by surveillance, Tim is very sure that Keller's body will only turn into nothingness when it is in a burning state, and the body in a non-burning state is only transparent.

"I have long been ready."

Zatanna appeared, holding a ball of ice in her hand: "Frozen!"

chap!

Ka Ka Ka!

Keller's transparent body was completely frozen before burning, and there was a clear human figure in the ice blue crystal.

"He looks like..."

Seeing that the body outline in the ice was shriveled and thin like a dried mummy, Zatanna sighed: "Sure enough, burning is not free."

……

The researchers of the Lex Group quickly arrived at the scene, brought back the frozen Keller, and prepared to study his abilities in detail with the equipment of the interstellar laboratory.

Connor worried that the research would pose a threat to Keller's life safety, and reminded repeatedly: "He unfortunately became a transparent person because of an accident, and his condition doesn't look good at all. You should try your best to appease him and keep him safe." s life."

"no problem……"

The scientific research staff agreed with all their mouths, but it is not known whether they really think so in their hearts.

Connor could only watch the scientific researchers leave with the frozen Keller, and then went back to the hotel with Tim and Zatanna, telling his fathers that Keller had been frozen and sent to the interstellar laboratory.

"Now, the problem that needs to be solved urgently becomes Hansen's girlfriend and the hospital that bought the child for $[-]..." Batman said, "I hope the hospital is just an ordinary hospital that secretly engages in human trafficking and human experiments. "

"I think the chances of that happening are pretty much zero," Superman said.

After all, although Metropolis is not as cloudy as Gotham and cannot see the sun all day long, there is invisible darkness.

……

"so boring--"

Harley Quinn, who bought a cart full of clothes, jewelry, and toys with Batman's card, stretched boredly, and looked around: "The metropolis is indeed a boring place, and there is no fun like street riots."

"Harry, if you want a street riot, I can create one for you." Poison Ivy proposed enthusiastically.

Like Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy found the peaceful, happy atmosphere of Metropolis stifling.

"Forget it! I don't want to be hunted down by Little Bat, Bald Lu, and Iron Man at the same time..." Harley Quinn complained, "Especially Bald Lu, every time I meet him, I worry about getting bald from him."

"This is indeed a troublesome question." Poison Ivy nodded in agreement.

At this time, Harley Quinn suddenly became excited.

She jumped out of the sports car and ran to the blond man on the side of the road who was flirting with a fashionable lady: "Hey... Konstantin! You came to Metropolis and didn't look for me!"

"Do you think I look like a madman?"

John Constantine was outspoken.

Harley Quinn: "But I miss you very much, and Shark King misses you too."

"forgive me!"

John Constantine avoids Harley Quinn like a viper: "I still want to be happy in my London."

"Can't you be happy with me?"

Harley Quinn hooked John Constantine's arm: "Or do you want me to seduce your son?"

"Matthew?"

John Constantine's face was clearly stunned, and then he smiled meaningfully: "If you can seduce success, it will be an exceptionally great success."

"Because he's gay?"

"Because he's a demon."

After speaking, John Constantine disappeared out of thin air.
