"It's not that I can't tell you, the main reason is... is..."

Aziraphale hesitated a bit.

Matthew: "If you don't want to say it, then—"

"We're following the Masons..." said Crowley. "These guys worship Satan, but they don't know that the Satan they worship is not the real Satan. So whether it's about hell or heaven, They're all real heretics."

"Are they going to make trouble at Amboise?"

Matthew, who has learned from Luthor that the Freemasonry will hold a Satan summoning ceremony in three days, knows the reason.

Crowley: "I don't know how to read minds. How do I know what they are doing in Amboise? Maybe it's just paying homage to Leonardo Da Vinci, the Masonic mentor? Although modern Freemasonry and ancient Freemasonry There's a big difference in every way."

"I hope they come to Amboise just to worship Da Vinci."

Matthew grumbled, putting the box back in his pocket.

Crowley suddenly grabbed his hand: "I want to open the box and take a closer look."

"Aren't you afraid that the things in the box will bring you unexpected trouble?"

Matthew complained about Crowley.

Crowley: "Why should you be afraid of trouble when you're already in trouble?"

"Uh..." Matthew was speechless, opened the box silently, and took out the creation energy fragment that was sealed into ordinary black crystal by the ancient Egyptian magician with a curse.

"Is this the thing?"

Crowley looked at the crystal in surprise.

He had expected the contents of the box to shine like the sun and gold.

"I can understand your regret, but it's a pity that what we found in the box was such an ordinary-looking black crystal..."

"If archaeologists hadn't unearthed the colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti in the last century, there is a high probability that this crystal could be mistaken for a fragment of ancient Egyptian jewelry," Mathew said.

"I actually still think it looks like a piece of jewelry that fell off the jewelry."

Crowley reached out to take the black crystal, and looked at it repeatedly in the sunlight: "It's a very delicate crystal, there's nothing unusual about it from the outside..."

"But as long as you get close to Da Vinci's items, it will get hot and hot." Matthew said.

"That--"

Crowley paused for a moment: "Did it get hot when we went to pay homage to Da Vinci in the chapel?"

"No."

Matthew said hesitantly.

Only now did he realize that he had overlooked this crucial fact.

If the black crystal reacts to da Vinci-related items, why doesn't it change when they pay homage to da Vinci's coffin?

Is it a mistake in judgment?

still--

"There is no da Vinci in the chapel!"

Matthew, Crowley, and Aziraphale said in unison.

Diana: "Are you sure?"

"Very sure and sure."

"Then we have another, bigger problem—"

Diana clasped her fists in her chest and said slowly, "Where is the real burial place of Master Da Vinci?"

"Leave this issue aside for the time being..." Matthew said, "The high-ranking Freemasons who can attract angels and demons to actively follow them have come to Amboise, and there must be other conspiracy behind them."

"Wait! We only said that we were following Masonic members and not high-level Masons, how do you know—"

"Isn't that easy to push out?"

Matthew looked at Crowley full of slots: "Ordinary Freemasons may alarm you?"

"Too."

Crowley resigned.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Aziraphale suggested: "There is a restaurant nearby that serves very good traditional dishes. Let's go there and continue our chat."

"it is good……"

……

For a long time, Freemasonry has been considered as an invisible hand ruling the world behind the scenes, as if anything that involves Freemasonry will become mysterious and full of conspiracy.

but--

"The old lady walking the dog over there is a member of the Freemasonry, and her level is still very high."

After lunch, Crowley pointed to a benign old woman and said to Matthew.

"Sure?"

"Do you believe the gossip on the Internet that Freemasons should walk around in spooky candle-lit castles in gowns and lambskin gloves and discuss how to destroy the world in a british accent?"

Crowley looked at Matthew with a face full of sarcasm: "The Freemasons have never pursued to rule the world or destroy the world. They think that they are higher than ordinary people and have the obligation to lead the world to a better future."

"But what they did..."

"Please note that what they want to lead the world to is what they think is a better future, not the better future that the general public thinks..."

Crowley emphasized, "In a sense, the Freemasons and supervillains like Lex Luthor are the same kind of people."

"I heard that the superheroes headed by Professor X have also established a similar secret association. The name seems to be the Illuminati?"

Matthew pretended to inadvertently mention a little secret about the Avengers told by Kespler, taking the opportunity to test Crowley's attitude.

result--

"Illuminati?! Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Crowley leaned forward and back with a smile, and then said seriously: "I'm a serious person, unless I really can't help it."

"very funny?"

"Yeah, very, very funny..." Crowley said. "The existence of the Illuminati is a joke."

"really?"

Wonder Woman became interested: "As far as I know, Professor X is a kind, intelligent, and loving mutant leader. How could the secret society he joined be a joke?"

"But the existence of the Illuminati itself is indeed an out-and-out joke! A very, very funny big joke!"

Crowley said firmly.

The more Wonder Woman listened, the more confused she became: "??"

"If a secret association exists to better protect the earth by solving the crisis secretly before the crisis occurs, but every time the members meet, they are more keen on digging other members' privacy than responding to the crisis, and The means proposed to solve the crisis are often more extreme than the means of the villains. Sometimes, because of their so-called solutions, a small-scale crisis can turn into a huge crisis that threatens all mankind. You will also feel that the existence of this secret association organization itself It's a big joke."

Crowley told Wonder Woman about the "brilliant" deeds of the Illuminati in a brisk and mocking tone: "They once considered slaughtering a parallel world to ensure-"

"A superhero who comes up with such an idea is still a superhero!"

Wonder Woman couldn't take it anymore.

With a high moral character, she can't believe that such a crazy and extreme secret society of superheroes exists in the world.

"So the Illuminati are a joke..." Crowley said, "Don't ever think of going to the Illuminati as a solution, they'll just make things worse."

"You're right, their ideas are indeed extreme and arrogant."

Wonder Woman agrees.

And Matthew looked at the old woman walking the dog who was chatting with the gray-haired elderly gentleman, and asked, "How much do you know about the secret sacrificial ceremony of the Freemasonry?"

"Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?" Aziraphale asked.

Matthew: "Someone told me that the Freemasonry intends to hold an event in the chapel to commemorate Da Vinci and summon Satan."

"so……"

"I want to sneak into the scene, if the secret sacrificial ceremony doesn't have excessively inappropriate content that requires every member participating in the ceremony to participate in person."

"Uh..." Aziraphale obviously understood Matthew's hint, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the secret priests of the Freemasonry abide by social morality."

"Really?"

"At least the few games I've seen are like that."

"I can rest assured that."

"Wait a moment--"

Aziraphale asked: "What identity are you going to use to infiltrate the venue? You are not a real Freemason, and you know almost nothing about Freemasonry."

"But I am a demon, and a demon who has a very close relationship with Satan."

In some religious texts, Lucifer is considered another name for Satan.

There are also some classics that believe that the first fallen are Satan.

But whether Satan is referring to Lucifer or the Fallen, he has a special relationship with Matthew.

Crowley obviously knew this. Hearing this, he put his arm on Aziraphale's shoulder and said, "Since our good friend already has a rough plan, why don't we wish him a smooth journey?"

"Crowley, you—"

"I mean it," Crowley said emphatically.

Aziraphale felt inexplicably uneasy.

Wonder Woman asked Matthew with a concerned expression, "Do you need my assistance?"

Matthew shook his head: "Sneaking into the Freemasonry to do an in-depth investigation, I can do it alone. But if Diana, you can go to Egypt to help me find out some things, I will be very honored."

"What do you want me to go to Egypt to investigate for you?"

"Pharaoh Akhenaten built a new city for the god Aten he believed in..." Matthew said, "Legends say that Pharaoh Akhenaten added the god Aten to ancient Egypt in order to combat the belief in Amon in Thebes. He gradually raised the status of Aten in the temple of Aten, and even built a new city for Aten, intending to turn the new city into the political and cultural center of Egypt. Unfortunately, his religious reform failed, and Aten and his new city also failed. Gradually forgotten by history."

"Do you think there may be clues left by ancient Egyptian magicians in the new city built by Pharaoh Akhenaten for God Aten?"

"At least that's a reasonable direction to investigate."

"Yes……"

Wonder Woman accepts Matthew's suggestion and asks Cyborg, who is playing a beautiful girl game in the laboratory, for a map of Egypt, and prepares to go to Egypt.

And Matthew also began to prepare for sneaking into the scene of the secret masonic sacrifice.

Crowley stood aside and watched silently, and asked coldly, "Matthew, do you know what kind of existence you are?"

"Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"

Matthew looked up at Crowley: "Do you know something?"

"Hehe! How could I know some secrets but not tell you on purpose? Who do you think I am?"

Crowley evaded it very perfunctorily.

Matthew smiled and said, "You are not a human, you are a snake, you are a demon."

Crowley: "..."

He began to regret his talkativeness.

At this time, Wonder Woman had obtained most of the information about ancient Egypt that Cyborg could provide, and after confirming that it was correct, she smiled brightly and rushed into the sky.

"As expected of Wonder Woman, always so handsome."

Looking at the figure of Wonder Woman going away, Matthew couldn't help saying.

Hearing this, Crowley complained maliciously: "Don't let Thor see Wonder Woman, he will think she is a Valkyrie, and chase after her to ask for an autograph."

"It shouldn't be—"

Before I finished speaking, I saw a handsome blond guy with a height of more than two meters and a hammer in the vast blue sky. He was chasing Wonder Woman on his way to Egypt with fiery eyes: "Hey...you are my childhood idol. A Valkyrie?"

Matthew on the ground was stunned, and it took a long time to recover: "Crowley, I suspect you have the ability to speak."

……

After all, Wonder Woman is a Greek god with the wisdom of Athena. She quickly explained to Thor that she is Diana of Paradise Island, not his childhood idol Valkyrie, and she has a penny relationship with Norse mythology. No.

Thor is ashamed of his mistake and asks to be Wonder Woman's temporary companion as an apology.

Considering that the trip to Egypt may encounter a situation that subverts common sense, Wonder Woman accepts Thor's suggestion and goes to Egypt with him to find the lost new city of Akhenaten Pharaoh-Akhtaten.

Because of having an extra companion, Wonder Woman asked Cyborg for Thor's information while flying and told Matthew about it by the way: "I am with Thor now, and he became my temporary companion because he mistook me for a Valkyrie ..."

"who are you talking to?"

Thor leaned over and glanced at the screen, a little shocked: "Matthew?"

"You know Matthew?"

"He's my good friend."

Thinking of the embarrassing days when his younger brother Loki used magic to turn into a woman, Thor was a little embarrassed, paused, and said, "A very trustworthy magician."

"Like you, I think he's a good man to trust."

Wonder Woman was pleased with Thor's evaluation of Matthew and invited Thor to join their video chat.

"Hey, Matthew! I'm Thor, Thor with the hammer."

Thor shakes Thor's hammer at Matthew in the video.

Not long ago, Matthew, who saw Thor flying to Wonder Woman with his own eyes, asked knowingly: "Thor, your body has recovered? The last time I saw you, you were still..."

"Loki lifted the transgender magic on me, and the fake pregnancy disappeared..." Thor said with some regret, "Actually, I really want to have a child with Loki."

"this problem……"

Matthew expressed that he did not want to get involved in the dog blood of Brother God.

"I know that as a normal person, you don't quite accept the relationship between Loki and me. In fact, I sometimes feel that our relationship is a bit too radical, but who cares?"

Thor shook his blond head smartly: "Matthew, I heard from Diana that you are now in trouble that you have to go to ancient Egypt to find a magic item to solve it?"

"Yes."

"What kind of magic item? Do you need Loki's help? His magical talent is very—"

"Thank you for your kindness, but until now Diana and I don't know what the name of the magic item we are looking for looks like..."

Matthew said, "I don't know where in Egypt it can be found."

"what?"

Thor was surprised: "Is there really no clue?"

"At least for now."

"That……"

Thor thought for a while, and said boldly: "Matthew, I owe you a favor, and I owed you to Diana just now. You can use me as much as you like this time! Let me do anything! "

"thanks……"

Matthew sincerely thanked Thor, and then checked some information with Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman contacted and answered them one by one.

……

As night fell, Wonder Woman and Thor arrived in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Under Crowley's instigation, Matthew took the initiative to walk towards a young Freemason who was being targeted by them.

"Hi, are you alone?"

"You want to talk to me?"

The young talent who had recently joined the Freemasonry raised his head arrogantly, and looked at Matthew with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"I'm really alone tonight..." he murmured, "Maybe we can find a quiet and comfortable place just the two of us to sit down and talk slowly."

"Do you know of a place like this?" Matthew asked.

The man showed a smug smile: "You look very good, the kind I like..."

Afterwards, he took Matthew into his room and asked while pouring wine, "What kind of condom do you like?"

"Why do you think I approached you to—"

"Could it be that you took the initiative to strike up a conversation with me and come into my room in order to become a real friend with me?"

The young talent said arrogantly, and handed the red wine to Matthew: "We are all adults, there is no need to play innocent games that only elementary school students like."

"I didn't intend to play innocent games with you, but the purpose of me hitting on you and entering the room with you is really not to study the color of your underwear with you."

Matthew took the red wine and shook the glass towards the void: "I want to get all the secrets in your heart."

"What did you say?"

The young Freemason showed an unbelievable expression, and then said to himself: "Are you a commercial spy? No, if you were a commercial spy, you wouldn't be so bluntly provocative. You will please me until we The relationship with you is close enough to steal my company secrets on the bed! So, your real identity should be—a commercial mercenary!"

Having said that, the young talented man showed a regretful expression: "Your appearance and figure are really to my liking, what a pity."

He raised his left hand, ready to—

Click!

The left hand was broken.

The severe pain turned the leisurely look on the face of the young talent into intense pain: "You...you...you..."

"I said that I entered your room to get all the secrets in your heart."

Matthew walked up to the young man, held up his grim and distorted face from the severe pain, and said slowly, "I am neither a commercial spy nor a commercial mercenary, I am a demon."

"demon?"

The young man struggled to raise his head and forcibly focused on Matthew's face. He was surprised to find that the handsome face that strongly attracted him had unknowingly turned into a patchwork of skins of different colors. At first glance, the cheeks made of stitches are as smooth and smooth as the faces of ordinary people, but this is the face of a devil after all, exuding an unimaginable evil aura.

"How do you feel now?" Matthew asked.

The young man didn't speak, but just stared at Matthew's face with indescribable shock and admiration in his eyes, as if he had completely forgotten the pain of breaking his left hand.

After more than ten minutes——

The young man finally regained his senses.

He looked at Matthew's demon face obsessively, and stretched out his good right hand: "Can I touch you? My demon, my belief, my master..."

"of course can."

Matthew, who had known for a long time that the Freemasons secretly worshiped Satan, did not reject the youth's worship.

The young man then carefully stroked Matthew's demonic face that was exuding an astonishingly hot and disgusting sulfur breath with his right hand, with an intoxicated smile: "It's incredible, I have the opportunity to meet the honorable master and touch him This face, this feeling of honor... must be dreaming! Yes, I am dreaming! How could my master appear in front of me in the form of a human being... my master... I..."

"Tell me all the secrets of your heart."

Matthew whispered to the young man indulging in demonic fantasies.

The young man raised his head and started his narration: "I am Macmin Arthur. I am 29 years old. When I was 17, I started my business with the 20 my father gave me..."

……

At midnight, the young man who revealed all the secrets in his heart to the devil had already fallen into a deep sleep. Matthew stood on the balcony of the guest room and met Crowley, who was standing on the landscape tree opposite the balcony with a gloating smile on his face.

"You already guessed that this would be the result?"

"Did I guess wrong this time?"

Crowley took off his sunglasses, revealing snake eyes: "Oh, Matthew, the devil you played is almost a real one."

"I was originally a demon."

"No, you're not really a demon, you just have a demon's body..." Crowley said, "Your soul is not a demon at all."

"What am I if I'm not a demon?" Matthew asked.

"Who knows?"

Crowley smiled exaggeratedly, ready to—

boom!boom!boom!

The familiar roar of a motor sounded, and then, a boxy blue box resembling a British police box appeared.

Crowley paused because of this: "Time machine?"

Matthew was also attracted by the blue box that suddenly appeared: "Doctor Who?"

As soon as the words were finished, the door of the blue box slowly opened, and a gentleman with a young face but with vicissitudes of life walked out, followed by a beautiful girl in fashionable clothes.

Looking at the night view of the hotel courtyard, the girl asked, "Doctor, is this the Earth, right? We have already returned to Earth?"

"Yes, Clara, we're back on Earth...but..."

The doctor suddenly stopped, and looked at Crowley in the landscape tree in disbelief: "Why do you look exactly like... me? Could it be that the TARDIS brought us back to the past again? Or is it a space-time collision? No, no! You Not a doctor, you are... are..."

The doctor who was confused by the situation fell into a temporary state of hard thinking.
