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

"Welcome to Justice League headquarters, Matthew."

The speed of transmission light dissipated, and Superman held Matthew's hand enthusiastically: "I'm very glad that you can accept our invitation."

"It's an honor to be invited by the Justice League."

Matthew said sincerely, his eyes fell on Wonder Woman without any surprise: "You are as beautiful as the rumors say."

"thanks……"

Wonder Woman accepted Matthew's compliment with a smile.

Afterwards, Matthew greeted the other Justice League members who participated in the meeting respectively.

His politeness and gentleness left a good impression on everyone present.

Except Martian Manhunter.

With the natural ability to listen to other people's voices, he found that he could not hear Matthew's voice at all, as if standing in front of him was a lifeless corpse.

"I'm presumptuous, but I want to ask, Mr. Matthew, are you really human?"

"I stopped being purely human a long time ago."

Matthew knew why the Martian Manhunter asked this question, and calmly expressed his inhuman status.

Zatanna also spoke out for Matthew, telling Martian Manhunter: "Matthew has the demonic blood of the Constantine family, and as far as I know, the other half of his makeup has a deep connection to Hell."

"I see."

The Martian Manhunter accepted Zatanna's explanation and stopped looking at Matthew with special eyes.

On the other hand, The Flash looked at Matthew enviously, and said to himself, "Your dress taste is really good."

"Do you like this style of dressing?"

"My girlfriend likes it."

The Flash looked at Matthew pitifully.

Even with his speed force, which can reset the world if necessary, he's still a young boy on the battlefield of love.

"I understand how you feel."

Matthew looked at The Flash encouragingly.

The Flash understood, pointed to the vacant Batman chair, and complained, "It looks like Batman was called to a meeting by his son's school teacher again."

"Son of Batman..."

Matthew asked knowingly.

The Flash said happily: "His son is a genius and a super troublemaker. Whether he stays at home or goes to school, he will cause a lot of things. By the way, I heard that the Wayne Group is most of the time. My son is taking care of it."

"That's a genius."

"so--"

"I seem to hear someone complaining about me behind my back."

Batman's deep voice sounded, and Flash changed his words at the speed of light: "I was just introducing the members to our new friends, and I definitely didn't make any specific complaints about anyone. I just finished talking about Batman, and now it's Wonder Woman's turn. As we all know, Diana yes……"

"I'm from Paradise Island..." Diana said, "It's a woman's world."

"It must be a wonderful world like heaven."

Matthew accepted Diana's words with a smile, and then greeted Batman: "Batman, the clown and the laughing point have been sent to the Arkham Asylum?"

"Yes, I sent them to Arkham Asylum and came to the meeting right away—"

"The young master is here too!"

Robin, who was full of arrogance, emerged from behind Batman, sitting in the position of his father Batman as a matter of course, crossing his legs: "Hey! Are you waiting for me to chair the meeting?"

"Damian!"

Batman mentioned his son speechlessly, and put it aside: "Do you still remember the agreement before going out?"

"remember."

Damian muttered reluctantly, and looked at Matthew with big eyes: "Hey! The guy over there, we have met before, haven't we?"

"Yes, Master Damian."

Matthew looked at Damian with a smile.

Damian has been brought back from the dead, and thus retains a small amount of vague memory of what happened during lucid dreams, although he cannot recall specific details.

Matthew knew this.

Damian didn't know.

He has been a top genius baby since he was a child. After thinking for a long time, he still can't remember the last time he and Matthew met, so he subconsciously thinks that he thinks Matthew looks familiar because he has seen Matthew's in the AI ​​database of the Batcave. material.

As for why Matthew said they had met before——

Is this important?

Damian thought proudly.

Subsequently, the Justice League discussion on the black box incident officially began.

Superman and Batman, who were directly involved in this matter, and Luther and Matthew, who were specially invited to attend the meeting, spoke in turn, telling their experiences in the black box incident.

Matthew also told everyone about the incident of the wishing angel in Los Angeles as supplementary information.

The members of the Justice League listened carefully to what he said, occasionally asking questions and explaining their opinions.

An hour passed quickly.

Although no results were discussed, everyone clearly realized that a huge crisis was coming.

"We must find out the real origin of the black box as soon as possible, and at the same time develop a monitoring system that can detect and find the black box on a global scale, so as to prevent the black box from falling into the hands of some people with ulterior motives."

"Clark, you are right. While tracing the origin of the black boxes, all the black boxes that have appeared must be brought under the control of the Justice League."

Luthor agreed with Superman's point of view, and said that he would work with Batman to develop a monitoring system.

Batman didn't object to Luthor's suggestion.

Damian is even more eager to try: "I heard that Luther, you are the smartest person in the world personally certified by Brainiac? It must be because I was not born when this guy tested the IQ of the earth!"

"You want to prove you're smarter than me?"

"Isn't it true?"

Damian looked at Luthor arrogantly: "Wait! Look at me making you lose all your eyebrows!"

"Uh..." Everyone in the Justice League looked at Batman sympathetically.

The Flash even imitated Batman's tone and lowered his voice: "Can I fight? Will I be scolded by Ah Fu after the fight?"

"Uh..." Batman silently mentioned his son who challenged Luthor: "Let's go."

"it is good……"

Luthor didn't know as much as Damian, a brat, and left the Justice League headquarters with Batman carrying Damian.

Wonder Woman then remembered something.

She asked Matthew and Zatanna: "Which of you is free this weekend? I need a magician."

"Sorry, I'm going to visit a tribal wizard in Africa on the weekend." Zatanna said regretfully, "Diana, have you encountered a problem that requires the assistance of a magician?"

"The matter is indeed related to magic, but I'm not sure if a magician is required to handle it." Diana said cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Matthew said to Wonder Woman: "Beautiful Princess Diana, I am very happy to serve you."

"thanks……"

Wonder Woman wrote a note: "I'll see you at the Louvre this weekend, here's my phone number."

"OK……"

Matthew took the note.

Afterwards, Matthew exchanged contact information with several other members of the Justice League, and was sent back to the temporary residence in Metropolis by the Flash at extraordinary speed.

"Matthew, I'd love to be your good friend."

When parting, Flash said with a smile.

Hearing this, Matthew took the initiative to hug The Flash.

……

After the Flash left, Matthew walked into the room and sat in a living room that was dark to ordinary people, with a transparent system panel in front of him.

[Respected and great master, congratulations that you are about to obtain a new fragment of creation energy, and you are one step closer to reaching your final goal. 】

"System, I want to ask you a few questions."

【Master, if you want to know anything, just ask your humble, cautious and loyal servant, you don’t need to be so polite. 】

The system's tone was flattering and smooth as always.

"Who am I? Who are you? Why was I bound by you after I was stuffed into a body made up of limb fragments and Constantine's demons by the First Fallen?"

【Respected and great master, your devout, humble and loyal servant Kespler is unable to answer your questions for the time being, but Kespler always firmly believes that meeting you and becoming your faithful servant is the arrangement of fate, Kespler Will remain loyal to you and serve you as always. 】

"After going around for such a long sentence, you didn't say anything in the end?"

Matthew smiled bitterly...

It was his expected reaction for the system to avoid the question with meaningless fancy long sentences, but when the prediction became reality, he inevitably felt unhappy, so he opened the empty refrigerator and took out a can that was about to expire in three hours Milk: "Maybe I should..."

"Drinking milk that is about to expire?"

Lucifer suddenly appeared, reached out and took away the milk bucket in Matthew's hand, and handed over a glass of fragrant champagne: "This year's new wine, have a taste?"

"I don't want to touch alcohol for the time being," Matthew said, "even if it's champagne."

"why?"

Lucifer looked at him affectionately: "You look very unhappy?"

"Ah."

Matthew turned around and sat wearily on the sofa: "I feel very confused recently, I want to know who I am, but all the people I have come into contact with... either cannot give the answer or are unwilling to give the answer..."

"Why do you suddenly want to know who you are?"

"I don't know, it's just..."

"Most intelligent beings in the world don't know who they are all their lives, but they also have a good time, don't they?"

Lucifer sat lightly on the armrest of the sofa, stretched out his hand, held Matthew's chin, and showed a charming smile that no one could refuse: "Compared with those metaphysical philosophical thinking, instant gratification is more in line with the status of a devil."

"But……"

"The biggest difference between angels and demons is that angels want others to be happy, while demons care more about whether they are happy."

"I……"

Under Lucifer's watchful eyes, Matthew's hard-won persistence quickly collapsed, and he decided to accept Lucifer's "timely gratification" principle, "You are right, the devil cares most about whether he is happy or not."

"so……"

"But I still want to know who I am..." Matthew said, "Even when I was with Mize, I always felt that I was very different from her. It was a difference from the soul... as if I... I'm not a demon at all..."

He felt a sudden, unexplained dread.

If he wasn't a demon...

What should it be? !

"Does the first fallen know what I am?"

Matthew asked Lucifer.

Lucifer just smiled and didn't answer Matthew's question.

He bowed his head and kissed Matthew with the sweetness of drowning.

But Matthew really wanted to know the answer to the question, so he took the initiative to stop the kiss with Lucifer, and asked solemnly: "What the hell am I?"

"You have some kind of existence that is closely related to my existence." Lucifer said, "That's why you can still live after being imposed with so many peculiarities."

"That……"

Matthew was a little uneasy: "Will this state last forever?"

"Is this your wish?" Lucifer asked back.

Matthew is silent...

He thought about it quietly for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion: "Only pursuing the happiness of the moment is a correct way of life."

"I think so too."

Lucifer bowed his head, kissed Matthew's earlobe, and said in a low voice, "It's not that I don't want to tell you the answer, it's that you are unable to bear the answer now."

Matthew looked up: "When will I be able to bear the answer?"

"When you can enter universe 666."

Universe 666 is a hellish universe carefully crafted by the Supreme God for Lucifer.

Knowing that after entering Universe 666, he might get the answer to the question "Who am I?", Matthew was stunned for a moment, and then slowly said: "I need time to grow."

"I will stay by your side and watch your growth."

While speaking, a pair of white wings stretched out from Lucifer's waist, encircling Matthew's body.

"It's time to do something fun..."

……

The appointment time with Wonder Woman is the weekend.

Matthew, who arrived in France in advance, found a two-day and three-night tour group in Paris. He followed the tour guide's footsteps with tourists from all over the world to visit the places of interest in Paris and bought a bright Bright diamond necklace.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the weekend, Matthew came to the Louvre and saw Wonder Woman in casual clothes in front of the glass pyramid: "Hello, Princess Diana, I hope my necklace can shine on your beautiful swan-like neck. "

"Mr. Matthew, thank you for your gift."

Wonder Woman accepted the gift and hugged Matthew: "Let's go to the coffee shop opposite to discuss in detail."

"it is good……"

Matthew nodded, and walked into the Art Cafe with Wonder Woman.

……

Wonder Woman, who is both beautiful and temperamental, pushed open the door of the cafe, and immediately received the collective attention of the men. Many of them looked at Matthew next to Diana with pity—they thought Matthew was someone A frivolous guy who doesn't know the heights of the world and wants to pursue the goddess.

Neither Matthew nor Wonder Woman cared about that.

After taking a seat and ordering, Wonder Woman took out an ancient Egyptian art exhibition brochure from her satchel: "How much do you know about ancient Egyptian civilization?"

"Uh……"

Matthew looked embarrassed.

His knowledge of ancient Egypt is mainly through games, movies and TV series.

"My understanding of ancient Egypt is relatively narrow. I know that the ancient Egyptians built the Sphinx and the pyramids, and the ancient Egyptians would be mummified after death. I can name a total of four ancient Egyptian celebrities. They are Pharaoh Ramesses II, Queen Nefertiti, Pharaoh Tutankhamun and Queen Cleopatra. In addition, I have heard of several Egyptian gods, the goddess Isis, the god of the underworld, Osiris, Anubis, the god of death, and Horus, the peripheral product Eye of Horus, are all over the Egyptian culture street..."

The more Matthew said, the more embarrassed he became.

You know, the public occupation of this beautiful and intelligent Wonder Woman sitting in front of him is a museum worker.

"Have you heard of the mummy curse?" Wonder Woman asked.

Matthew: "I've heard that it is said that after mummification, the bodies of royal family members will be cursed with a terrible curse that they are not allowed to be disturbed. Those who dig up and own them will bear the bad luck of dying. It is rumored that the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank because A mummy with a mummy curse hidden in the cargo hold of the ship."

"The mummy of Princess Amara," Wonder Woman corrected.

"So the legend that the Titanic crashed into an iceberg because of the mummy curse is—"

"False, the mummy of Princess Amanla did not board the Titanic as cargo..." Wonder Woman said, "In fact, the title of Princess Amanla may also be wrong. She was probably a servant in her lifetime. The priestess of the sun god. However, in ancient Egypt, only royal women could serve as priestesses, and it is not entirely wrong to call her a princess."

"I see."

Matthew looked down at the brochure of the ancient Egyptian themed art exhibition, and found that the mummy and colored coffin of Princess Amara were important exhibits of this ancient Egyptian themed exhibition: "Princess Diana was worried that Princess Amara's mummy might destroy ancient Egypt. A themed art exhibition?"

"You can just call me Diana..." Wonder Woman said.

"Besides, I'm not looking for you because of Princess Amara."

"That is……"

"Flip back..."

"it is good……"

Matthew turned two pages back, and saw a photo of a stone carving of an Egyptian pharaoh head whose shape was completely different from the traditional stone carving of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh head. His face was shaped like a snake, his nose was narrow and long, and his eyes were triangular. The forehead is smooth, and the back of the head protrudes like a round egg, matching the upper and lower Egyptian crowns of the Egyptian pharaoh——

"He looked like an alien," Matthew said.

"Pharaoh Akhenaten, the father and father-in-law of Pharaoh Tutankhamun..." Wonder Woman said, "In ancient Egypt, it was normal for blood relatives to marry in the royal family."

"So the facial deformity of Pharaoh Akhenaten was actually the result of successive generations of inbreeding?"

"It may also be the alienation and deification of religious needs..." Wonder Woman said, "Pharaoh Akhenaten was a bold religious reformer. He tried to integrate the polytheistic beliefs of ancient Egypt into monotheistic beliefs. Tun became the only god in Egypt. His behavior is still the focus of scholars. Queen Nefertiti, by the way, was his wife."

"Uh..." Looking at the alien-like head sculpture of Pharaoh Akhenaten and recalling the beauty of the statue of Queen Nefertiti, Matthew once again felt the inconceivable fate.

"Pharaoh Akhenaten is the reason why I invited you to the Louvre." Wonder Woman said slowly.

Hearing this, Matthew asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with the statue of Pharaoh Akhenaten? Or has the mummy of Pharaoh Akhenaten been found by the archaeological community?"

"There is no problem with the exhibit itself, but in the collection box of the statue of Pharaoh Akhenaten, I found something."

Wonder Woman took out a small box from her satchel and pushed it in front of Matthew.

Matthew took the box and didn't open it right away.

The demon's intuition told him that the contents of the box were very dangerous.

"Can I ask what's in it?"

"A piece of black crystal," said Wonder Woman, "a black volcanic glass very similar to the eye of the most famous statue of Nefertiti."

"However, the most famous statue of Nefertiti in polychrome has only one eye inlaid with black crystal, and the other eye is blank."

Matthew felt incredible.

The reason why the colorful Nefertiti statue has only one eye has long been debated in academic circles.

Some people think that her political opponents deliberately insulted her, after all, she is her husband——

The right-hand man of Pharaoh Akhenaten, who advocated the religious reformation, and the reform of Pharaoh Akhenaten ultimately failed completely.

Others believe that purely natural weathering damage caused the queen's statue to lose an eye.

Of course, the most romantic way to say it is that Thutmose, the artist who made the statue for the queen, fell in love with the beautiful queen when he made the statue. In order to commemorate this fruitless bitter love, he made one of his eyes blank, symbolizing that the queen will be forever. Can't see the artist's love.

"Yes, we all know that the colorful Nefertiti statue has only one eye and the other eye is blank, so when I found out that there was a piece in the Akhenaten statue box that was just the right size for the Nefertiti statue I was shocked when I saw the black crystal in my other eye."

Wonder Woman explained: "I immediately contacted the provider of the cultural relics, and they provided me with the monitoring process of the staff putting the head of Pharaoh Akhenaten into the collection box, which proved that the black crystal in the collection box appeared out of thin air. , the staff knew nothing about it.

After that, I used the magic detection items provided by Paradise Island to monitor this black crystal, and found that there were powerful magic fluctuations on the surface of the crystal! "

"so……"

"So I took this extremely dangerous black crystal of unknown origin out of the collection room, hoping to get Zatanna or your assistance."

Wonder Woman looked at Matthew sincerely: "Compared to modern magic, ancient Egyptian magic is obviously more dangerous and deadly."

"Yes, I have felt its danger, through the magically shielded box."

"Sorry for getting you into such trouble."

Wonder Woman said to Matthew apologetically: "In return, I will provide all the help I can to help you find out the origin of this mysterious black crystal, and I owe you a favor."

"Your beauty is—"

"I don't like this vain compliment."

Wonder Woman smiled, and took out a USB flash drive: "This contains all the information I have collected related to Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti and his wife. I hope it can provide necessary help for your investigation."

"thanks……"

"It's me who should thank you."

Wonder Woman looked at Matthew with appreciation: "How about visiting the Louvre with me next?"

"My pleasure."

Matthew got up and accepted Wonder Woman's invitation.

Seeing this scene, Wonder Woman's secret lovers all showed regretful expressions.

They thought Matthew was just an insignificant competitor, but they didn't expect the goddess to have a good talk with him and they walked to the Louvre together!
