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

Walking with a beautiful woman like Wonder Woman, Matthew's visit to the Louvre can be described as the envy of others.

However, Matthew, as the person involved, had a serious expression throughout.

The mysterious black crystal is exuding a strong evil atmosphere through the magic shield, especially when he stands in front of the "Mona Lisa", which is known as one of the three treasures of the Louvre Museum.

The corners of his eyes turned red uncontrollably, and crystal liquid gushed out of his tear glands as if he had been greatly stimulated.

"What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Diana noticed Matthew's abnormality and asked with concern.

Matthew: "I..."

"Need a place to sit?"

"The situation may be more serious than you think."

Matthew looked around and made sure that no tourists were paying attention to them. He reached out and took out the box containing the black crystal: "Diana, touch the box."

"it is good……"

Wonder Woman stretched out her hand, and before her fingers landed on the box, her fingertips were slightly reddened by the heat from the box.

"What's going on here? When did it start?"

"From the moment we stood on the Mona Lisa," Matthew said, "it was always quiet."

"That is to say..."

Wonder Woman raised her head and carefully looked at Da Vinci's masterpiece "Mona Lisa".

"About the smile of "Mona Lisa" and the prototype of the model of Mona Lisa, no matter in the world of art or history, there is still no conclusion. The only certainty is the smile of this lady who is a contemporary of Da Vinci Has become the most famous and important smile in the history of human civilization..."

In the speaker, the explanation about the "Mona Lisa" is slowly flowing out.

Almost all the tourists who passed by Matthew and Wonder Woman thought that the handsome man and beautiful woman were concentrating on admiring Da Vinci's handed down masterpiece, feeling the mystery and beauty behind the most famous smile in art history.

Only Matthew knew that what he was watching seriously at the moment was an unbelievable text displayed on the transparent panel that only he could see.

【Respected and great master, it is a great honor for your devout, humble and loyal servant Kespler to tell you that the black crystal piece that Wonder Woman gave you to study and explore is actually a piece of creation energy that was sealed by ancient Egyptian magicians with an ancient curse Fragment, if you can lift the curse covering it. 】

Is the black crystal a fragment of creation energy that was cursed and sealed?

Matthew was shocked.

Since the black crystal that Wonder Woman found in the treasure chest of the statue of Pharaoh Akhenaten is a fragment of the creation energy sealed by the ancient Egyptian magician with a curse, what about another black crystal embedded in the eyes of the colorful Nefertiti statue? ?

Could it be that the black crystal is also a fragment of creation energy that was cursed and sealed?

【Respected and great master, please forgive the incompetence of your humble, simple and loyal servant Kespler. It cannot answer your question about whether the eyes of the colorful Nefertiti statue are fragments of creation energy that has been cursed and sealed. 】

Matthew: Obviously, this guy is avoiding the question on purpose.

Because if the black crystal inlaid in the eye socket of the colorful Nefertiti statue was not a fragment of creation energy that was cursed and sealed, it would directly tell him "no" instead of pulling out a long and fancy sentence.

Realizing this, Matthew decisively changed the question: Do you know how to unlock the curse seal imposed on the surface of the creation energy fragment by the ancient Egyptian magician?

【Respected and great master, your servant Kespler is not omniscient and omnipotent. 】

The system again refused to answer Matthew's question.

But Matthew wasn't surprised.

This system, which claims to be a servant but actually has ulterior motives, loses its chain at critical moments every time.

He turned to look at Wonder Woman: "Have you found anything?"

"No."

Wonder Woman told Matthew with a wry smile: "As one of the most important works of art in the history of human art, the Mona Lisa has been studied by countless scientists and art lovers for hundreds of years, and there have been no major discoveries. I just stared at it for a few minutes."

"You're right."

Matthew changed the question: "How much do you know about Da Vinci?"

"Do you suspect that it's not the Mona Lisa that makes the black crystal hot, but Da Vinci?"

Wonder Woman looked at Matthew in surprise.

Matthew: "Anything is always possible in the field of magic."

"really……"

Wonder Woman looked up and looked at "Mona Lisa" with nostalgia: "Da Vinci is a true genius. He was limited by the prejudices of the times, unable to reveal his true self, and because of limited time and energy, he did not want to get involved in research." Even so, he has achieved great achievements far ahead of his time.

If Black Crystal really had a hot and hot reaction because of Da Vinci instead of "Mona Lisa", I think it should be taken for granted. "

"Then we might as well..."

Matthew paused: "Take a look at all the works of Da Vinci in the Louvre Museum and see if the situation is as we guessed."

"it is good……"

……

After visiting the Da Vinci paintings and drafts collected in the Louvre, Matthew and Wonder Woman confirmed that it was Da Vinci himself rather than his painting "Mona Li" that caused the black crystal to react with heat. Sarah.

They decided to go to the place where Da Vinci lived in his later years - a place called Amboise beside the Loire Valley.

In the [-]th century, it was the favorite place for leisure and tourism of the French nobles. The king also built a palace of the same name in Amboise, and arranged a residence for the artist Leonardo da Vinci, who was protected by the royal family, near the palace of Amboise.

Da Vinci finally died in the small building prepared for him by the king, leaving behind a large number of handicrafts and draft notes carrying his whimsical ideas.

"Perhaps we can get more revelations and clues from the handicrafts left by Master Da Vinci before his death..." Wonder Woman said, "Although I don't understand why the black crystal that may come from ancient Egypt will be related to Da Vinci. As far as I know, Master Da Vinci never went to Egypt."

"But it is rumored that Da Vinci is a core member of Freemasonry, and Freemasonry is related to the ancient secret society 'Free Stonemason' in ancient Egypt..."

Matthew said, "If this rumor is true, it may explain why the black crystal resonates with Da Vinci."

"Looking at it now, it may be true."

Wonder Woman took Matthew to the private plane: "In the polytheistic beliefs of ancient Egypt, stone statues were believed to give eternal life to those who were carved, so stonemasons in ancient Egypt did not refer to manual laborers who cut stones. , but noble clergy who are qualified to engage in carving work..."

"Pagan clergy in ancient times usually also worked as pagan magicians..." Matthew said, "at least, the modern church thinks so."

"The ancients also thought so..." Wonder Woman said, "The Freemasonry, which originated from the 'Free Stonemason' organization, has had a knowledge and understanding of everything in the world far beyond their era for thousands of years, and Da? Finch was smart enough to be noticed and recruited as a member by the high-ranking Masons in his youth."

Speaking of this, Wonder Woman stopped suddenly: "If this matter is really related to the Freemasonry, your identity as a hell demon may bring us unexpected help."

Worshiping Lucifer, the king of hell, has always been an important activity of Freemasonry.

Matthew knew this, and smiled at Wonder Woman's hint.

……

On the way to the Amboise palace, Wonder Woman received a communication from Batman.

"Bruce?"

Diana was a little surprised.

"Um……"

Batman asked in a helpless tone: "Diana, can you come to Wayne Manor to attend the party next week?"

"reunion?"

"Two young men in my family are admirers of yours..."

"No problem, I'll try to get there."

Wonder Woman readily agreed to Batman's request, and asked back, "How much do you know about Freemasonry?"

"Masonic?"

"Freemasonry usually develops new members among the elites who control the economic, political, and social lifelines. Your status is enough to join the Freemasonry."

"Yes, I was indeed invited to join the Freemasonry, but I declined."

Batman replied calmly: "The philosophy of Freemasonry does not meet my code of conduct."

"What about Green Arrow?"

Oliver Quinn's family is also a top billionaire.

"With Oliver's character, it is almost impossible to get involved with the Freemasons. Wait a minute, Luther should be happy to become a member of the Freemasons. He is near me now."

With that said, Batman left.

Half a minute later, Lex Luthor's bald head appeared on the screen: "Hello, Diana, and Matthew—"

"Luther—"

Diana smoothed her hair: "To make a long story short, have any high-level Masons ever contacted you?"

"Have."

"Did you join them?"

"how is this possible!"

Luther smiled coldly: "Although I am considered a cruel and heartless guy by you, I have always sincerely protected the earth and all human beings. I disdain to be with such stupid, arrogant and rude insects like the Freemasonry!"

Obviously, what made Luthor refuse to join the Freemasonry was the "stupid arrogance" shown by the Freemasons when they contacted him, rather than the so-called disagreement.

After all, he has a level nine intelligence, and he has the right to hate all stupid insects whose IQ is not as good as his but shows ridiculous superiority in front of him.

"That……"

Matthew thought for a while and said, "We are in some trouble now, and the help of the Freemasonry is very important to us."

"I suggest you go to Amboise. The chapel where Da Vinci is buried is an important branch of the Freemasonry. Three days later, they will hold an event there to commemorate Da Vinci and hold a ceremony to worship Satan... "

Luther said, "If you're not in a hurry to get out of France."

"Wait, didn't you refuse the invitation to join the Freemasonry? How did you know that Amboise had—hello!"

Before Matthew finished speaking, Luther unilaterally cut off the video call.

……

"This guy probably has secret dealings with the Freemasonry," Matthew complained.

Wonder Woman agrees: "He's Lex Luthor after all."

"Then we now—"

"According to the original plan to go to Amboise, since the chapel is about to hold a service to worship Satan—"

Wonder Woman looked at Matthew with great interest: "You, a pure devil, may be of great use."

"You don't mind collaborating with demons?"

Matthew was a little surprised.

"The devil is a Christian term, and Paradise Island believes in Greek gods."

Wonder Woman, who also has the blood of the gods, showed a nonchalant expression.

Matthew smiled knowingly.

……

In the interstellar laboratory——

Luther unilaterally ended the call with Wonder Woman and Matthew, and turned around to see a guy who absolutely shouldn't be here.

Dr. Banner...

Or rather, the Hulk.

"Why did you come here?"

"I invited you."

Dr. Sisko walked between Luthor and Banner: "Dr. Banner, hello, I am Sisko who invited you to the Interstellar Laboratory. This is Lex Luthor, the temporary partner of the Interstellar Laboratory. .”

"Why a temporary partner?"

Luthera asked Sisko with a long face.

Sisko: "Because no one knows when you will jump to the villain's side and be an enemy of the Justice League."

"All right……"

Luther sneered, shook hands with Banner, and said in an arrogant tone, "I'm Lex Luthor, nice to meet you, Dr. Banner."

"It was an honor to meet you, Mr. Luthor."

Dr. Banner looked at Luthor sincerely, not caring about his sarcasm and arrogance.

This made Luthor, who had originally planned to take the opportunity to give Banner a slap in the face, very unhappy.

He then asked Banner: "Why didn't your good friend Stark come?"

"There was a little problem with the operation of the Stark Group. To be precise, Tony was fired by the board of directors..." Banner explained sheepishly, "As a result, he who is testing the new mecha in a laboratory in South America may unable to return home."

"This is indeed the trouble that Tony Stark will encounter."

Luther smiled playfully.

Then, he turned his head to look at Sisko: "Did you find Dr. Banner to study the black box better?"

"No, he came to Metropolis to find Matthew..." Sisko said, "He heard that Matthew is in Metropolis."

"You know Matthew?"

Luther showed a rare expression of genuine surprise.

Banner nodded: "Matthew is a good friend of the Avengers. As a member of the Avengers, I hope to help him as much as I can when he encounters difficulties."

"Unexpectedly, a demon can make a true friend."

Luther, who devoted all his time and energy to the One Superman, said lonely.

Banner smiled and asked Sisko, "Is there anyone who needs my help?"

"Have."

Dr. Sisko raised his hand and explained the situation of the black box to Dr. Banner.

……

Amboise used to be a resort for French aristocrats like Provence, but now when it comes to Amboise, everyone will only think of the King’s Royal Castle of Amboise, which is the residence of the great Da Vinci in his later years. The place of burial.

Matthew and Wonder Woman walk on the streets of Amboise town, and you can feel the strong literary atmosphere. Most of the tourists hold souvenirs related to Da Vinci. The focus of the tourist album is also the beautiful Amboise. The Royal Castle of Oise and the quiet Saint-Hubert Church where Da Vinci is buried.

Infected by the atmosphere of Amboise, Matthew bought a box of donuts with Da Vinci's face printed on the box at the roadside dessert shop: "Diana, do you like—"

"I don't really like sweets."

Wonder Woman politely declined.

Matthew felt a little regretful. Just as he was about to close the dessert, a long and thin hand stretched out and took two pink donuts out of the box as a matter of course. One was stuffed into his own mouth, and the other was stuffed into his angel companion who loves sweets.

Matthew: "Crowley!"

"Hey--"

The demon in sunglasses smiles confidently.

The angel standing beside him looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Crowley didn't mean to—"

"I know, he did it because he hated me for interrupting your candlelight date."

Later, Matthew introduces Wonder Woman to angels and demons: "This beautiful lady is Princess Diana of Paradise Island, and she is also better known as Wonder Woman. This guy with the sunglasses is the Serpent of Eden , the fake demon Crowley, and the white-haired angel Aziraphale..."

"It's an honor to meet you, angel Aziraphale, and demon Crowley."

Wonder Woman doesn't believe in Christianity, so she has a high acceptance of the situation where angels and demons travel side by side, which is enough to make devout believers go into a rage.

Hearing this, Crowley, who just took the opportunity to take away the donut box, said to Wonder Woman with a gentlemanly face: "I bet, even in heaven, it is difficult to find a more beautiful soul than Princess Diana."

"Princess Diana's beauty truly shone like the sun."

Aziraphale complimented him sincerely, before giving Matthew back the donut that Crowley had snatched: "I'm sorry, but Crowley didn't mean to—"

"I had a premonition that I would run into you, so I bought a whole box of donuts."

Matthew smiled, opened the dessert box, and shared with the angel who loves sweets: "It is said that this donut uses the royal recipe."

"Really? Let me appreciate it."

Aziraphale couldn't wait to grab the donut.

The demon Crowley on the side raised Matthew's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you dating...? Why are you suddenly traveling with that lady?"

"Wonder Woman is in some trouble and needs my help." Matthew said, "Amboise has important clues to solve the trouble."

"So it was for Da Vinci."

Crowley, who understood instantly, showed a narrow smile.

He straightened his sunglasses and said to Wonder Woman: "Let me tell you a secret, Da Vinci went to hell after death. In fact, most artists will go to hell after death, such as Dauphin, Brahms, all Bach, Mozart, et cetera."

"why?"

Wonder Woman was surprised.

Crowley: "Because God's artist needs both ability and integrity, and hell only needs talent."

"That explanation makes sense."

Wonder Woman nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, they went to Da Vinci's former residence together.

Of course, before the official visit to Da Vinci's former residence, they did not forget to go to the chapel to present a bouquet of lilies to Da Vinci.

……

Da Vinci's former residence has long been transformed into a museum, which is full of wonderful objects made by him during his lifetime. However, Crowley and Aziraphale's attention has always been on Matthew, to be precise, Matthew's Windbreaker pockets.

"Matthew, what's in your pocket?"

Finally, Aziraphale couldn't help asking Matthew curiously: "I can feel a powerful and scorching energy in your pocket."

"But you can't see through it?"

"I'm a polite angel, and I won't see other people casually, even if that person is pretending to be a devil."

Aziraphale emphasized very seriously.

Crowley raised his hand to take off his sunglasses.

Matthew didn't want to affect other tourists who normally visited the museum. Seeing this, he took out the box in his pocket: "This is it."

"this thing……"

Crowley and Aziraphale tensed at the same time.

Wonder Woman asked: "You also feel that the contents of the box are very dangerous?"

"Very, extremely dangerous." Aziraphale murmured.

Crowley even complained to Matthew: "I found that as long as I meet you, bad things will happen."

"Because I'm a demon."

"I'm a devil too, I wouldn't be like you—"

"really?"

"Okay, I'll also create a little disaster when I play Hell KIP, once a year."

Crowley spoke reluctantly, and then severely criticized Matthew: "Hell doesn't need workaholics. We have almost unlimited time. There is no need to 996 or even 007 like human social animals."

"I never thought of being a workaholic..." Matthew explained, "Every time the trouble comes to me."

"really?"

Crowley didn't believe it.

Wonder Woman helped explain: "Matthew didn't lie, at least this time, I took the initiative to find him, not him to ask for trouble."

"what happened?"

Attracted by the smell from the contents of the box, Crowley smiled with great interest.

"It's like this..."

Wonder Woman then described how she found in the box of Akhenaten's pharaoh's head sculpture a black chip that was almost exactly the same as the black crystal inlaid in the eye socket of the most famous colorful statue of Akhenaten's wife Nefertiti Repeatedly.

"Considering that the origin of the crystal chip might be unusual, I found Matthew and entrusted him to help with the investigation."

"Then you found out that this black crystal is related to Da Vinci?"

"Yes..." Wonder Woman said, "we met in front of the glass pyramid of the Louvre, and after talking about the black crystal, we visited the Louvre together, and soon found that as long as we were close to Da Vinci's paintings, the black crystal will get hot."

"So you came to Amboise, hoping to find more clues here?"

"Correct."

Wonder Woman nodded.

Matthew thought that the Freemasonry would hold a ceremony to summon Satan here, and he asked Crowley, "Why did you suddenly come to Amboise? If you want to miss Da Vinci, go to Da Vinci's." Wouldn't the hometown be more suitable?"

"because……"

Crowley made a rare mistake.

Aziraphale explained the reason for him: "We came to Amboise unknowingly while following a group of heretics."

"pagan?"

Both Wonder Woman and Matthew took interest.

"What kind of heathen? Can you describe it in more detail?"

"This one……"

Aziraphale was reluctant.

Matthew: "Can't you tell us?"
