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

"Thank you, Diana."

"The whole thing happened because of me. I should tell you that I have worked hard."

Wonder Woman looked at Matthew with a smile, and advised: "If the risk factor is too high and you haven't prepared enough to respond, don't take the risk of getting involved in the Masonic summoning Satan ceremony. We can also investigate the Masonic Society in another way. "

"Infiltrating the scene of the Masonic summoning ceremony may be dangerous to ordinary people and even superheroes, but it is not difficult or dangerous for me."

Matthew said, "The worst result is that they succeed in summoning and recruiting my enemy from hell."

"Is this—"

"I am protected by the King of Hell. Even if the Freemasons really summoned my enemy from hell, he would not dare to dismantle my identity in public against the will of the King of Hell."

Matthew said confidently.

Lucifer disdained to answer the Freemason's call.

The First Fallen, as the great devil who ranks second in the strength of hell, does not need the hands of the Freemasons to kill him.

Most of the rest of the demons in hell are scruples about Lucifer and the First Fallen, and they dare not be enemies with him. At most, they set up tricks like Belial to make things difficult for him, so that he can't step down.

What's more, he also has the double king sword given to him by the banshee Astra for self-defense.

Wonder Woman didn't know that Matthew had so many backers. Seeing that he was full of confidence, she couldn't help worrying about his plan to sneak into the scene of the Masonic summoning demon ceremony.

After the call with Matthew, she immediately contacted Superman, hoping that Superman would use his super hearing to pay close attention to the voice from Amboise, France.

"Because of me, Matthew is about to do a very dangerous thing..." Diana said, "I'm afraid he might have an accident in the middle of the operation."

"I understand, I will continue to pay attention to him and provide necessary help when he is in danger."

Superman readily agreed to Wonder Woman's request.

Afterwards, he shared with Diana the interstellar laboratory's phased research results on the black box that he had just received: "At this speed, we will soon be able to figure out what the black box is."

……

The day before the ceremony to commemorate Da Vinci and secretly summon Satan officially started, a large number of Freemasons gathered in Amboise to exchange their experiences in work and spiritual practice.

Young talents selected by Matthew also joined the discussion.

He told his occult dreams to his Masonic mentors with impassioned emotion.

"When I woke up from the dream, I felt more lucid than ever, and I was pretty sure that I had moved out of the past and into a whole new realm."

"Do you still remember the appearance of the great being who brought you clear understanding?" the tutor asked.

The young talent shook his head.

He has no memory of it at all.

Disappointed, the instructor eventually forgave his student: "Michael, you are too young to fully digest the spiritual lift this dream has given you."

"I'm sorry, Master."

Michael bowed his head and apologized to the tutor.

The instructor accepted the student's apology and told the student: "Tomorrow at six o'clock in the evening, you must arrive at the chapel on time to attend the ceremony."

"understand……"

Michael nodded reverently, and then returned to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony.

Not long after the student left, the mentor went to his fellow Masons and told everyone the good news that the student had accidentally communicated in a dream, and everyone showed subtle expressions.

……

Matthew branded Michael, and every word Michael said during the Masonic meeting would be transmitted to Matthew's ears simultaneously, along with the tutor's answer that Michael heard.

The result was——

"Are you surprised? Modern Freemasonry's understanding of spiritual practice is far inferior to that of ancient times?"

Crowley, who relied on thick skin to eat and drink free at Matthew's place and threatened indoor potted plants, mercilessly teased: "But we can't blame them, there are too many temptations in modern society, such as games, live broadcasts, variety shows, social networks... …human beings face so many temptations every day that it becomes difficult to concentrate on exploring the spiritual realm.”

"So you actually play games and browse social networks every day in order to keep pace with the times and complete the devil's KPI?"

Matthew knew everything about Crowley, and when he heard the words, he complained mercilessly.

Crowley: "Of course, as an advanced model demon from hell, how could I—"

"Since you didn't play games for the sake of playing games, why did you run to his house along the network cable to threaten him last night because you were killed [-] times while playing games?" Aziraphale said coldly.

Crowley: "It's an immersive experience of human annoyance."

Matthew: "Then you are really immersed."

"I'm a dedicated demon."

Crowley pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Matthew's words, knocked on the table and asked Matthew, "How are you going to sneak into the ceremony?"

"Enter directly through the main entrance..." Matthew said, "They gather in the chapel to summon demons, and I happen to be a demon."

"What if it wasn't you they summoned?"

Crowley deliberately quarreled with Matthew.

"It's normal for the summoning to go wrong..." Matthew said, "On the bright side, at least they successfully summoned the demon."

"but--"

Crowley turned the snake's eyes: "If their summoning ceremony is successful and the demon they want to summon is summoned, and you suddenly break into the scene as a demon—"

"Then we can only force whoever stays, or we can reach a cooperative relationship on the spot." Matthew said nonchalantly, "Everyone is hell demon, there is no need to fight to the death over some worthless sacrifice."

"Matthew, I have to say that your behavior is more daring and arrogant than I expected."

"You don't like it?"

"how is this possible?"

Crowley smiled slyly: "I can't wait to time travel to watch a good show tomorrow night!"

"Crowley! Matthew is our friend!"

Aziraphale reminded Crowley loudly.

Crowley smiled, noncommittal.

……

Time soon came to the evening of the next day.

The Freemasons gathered in Amboise arrived at the chapel on time.

Before entering the church, they showed their identity certificates one by one in exchange for black cloaks and metal masks provided by the organizers. They walked into the darkened venue, stood in positions matching their identities, held golden candlesticks, and lit candles with various spices.

The mysterious and rich fragrance lingered in the dark venue. Accompanied by two deacons, the chief priest walked to the central altar, holding a black parchment scroll, and recited the words inherited from ancient times.

"I offer you this coin cast from stubborn stone... I offer you this song stolen from the dust...

I present to you this dagger dug from the mountain, and this wooden stake inserted into the eye of the dead...

I offer you this claw plucked out of a mouse...

I offer you this name, a name that has been forgotten...I offer you blood, from my blood, plus this feather plucked from the angel's wing..."

With the chanting, an indescribable tremor began to appear in the air, and the consciousness of all the participants in the ceremony was seized by this tremor, and they couldn't help following the chanting, even if they wanted to, they couldn't stop.

"I call you by name, my master! O my master! With torment, I call you. With pain, I call you. I have opened the door, and I call you with ancient righteousness! Come... come Come on! Come on!"

Everyone began to pray frantically.

"Come on!"

"Namtar is calling for you!"

"Come on!"

"Allatu is calling for you!"

"Come on!"

"Morax calls you!"

"Come on!"

"Naberius and Vepar call you!"

……

"They call you out of the darkness, they call you out of the darkness... Come down! Come down!

Coins and ballads, daggers and stakes...claws and names, blood and feathers...in this darkness...in this darkness... together we call you...come down! "

slam-la-

As all the members of the Freemasonry shouted at the top of their lungs, a flash of lightning pierced through the darkness, and then, a group of green flames fell on the center of the altar, burning blazingly, with a strong smell of sulfur.

The members who participated in the ceremony were stunned.

They made it!

They actually summoned from the void——

demon?

Angel?

still is……

What exactly have we conjured up?

The believers looked at each other.

They gathered together as usual to repeat the ritual that had been going on for hundreds of years, never thinking that this ritual could be successful, and actually summon some kind of—

The green flames were gradually extinguished, and a pale, thin but extremely handsome black-haired man appeared in front of everyone, staring at the Masonic members gathered here with his charming blue-green eyes.

"You guys summoned me?"

"Yes, we have summoned you."

The priest led a group of Freemasons to kneel down to the man, and kissed the dust at his feet reverently: "Please have mercy on us."

"What do you want?" the man asked in an almost inorganic cold voice.

After all, all callings throughout the ages have been to obtain something that is almost impossible to obtain by earthly means.

But this time—

The officiant was stunned.

Like the Freemasons who participated in the ceremony, he never thought that this summoning ceremony that had been repeated for hundreds of years might be successful one day, and naturally he never thought about what he should ask the summoned gods and demons after the summoning was successful.

"I don't know, no, I think... I want to ask you to give us wisdom and pure souls..."

"You have mastered all the wisdom within your IQ range. As for the pure soul, that is not my business."

After speaking, the man turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the priest rushed forward, hugged the man's calf that was burning with green flames, and begged: "Please! Don't abandon us! We will continue to believe in you devoutly! We are willing to exchange everything beyond our understanding great wisdom!"

"Even if your brains will explode because of it?"

"We can record them..."

In order to let the Freemasons trust him, Matthew, who did not hesitate to expose the devil's body and appear in front of the Freemasons in the image of a devil summoned by the Freemasons, was quite surprised when he heard this.

He thought that these people summoned demons in order to obtain eternal life or power, but he did not expect that what they longed for was boundless wisdom.

But after thinking about it, Matthew can fully understand.

Most of the people who join the Freemasonry have extraordinary IQ and amazing success.For these people who have already stood at the pinnacle of the world, traditional immortality or power is not very attractive, what they desire is to be remembered forever like stars by future generations.

After thinking this through——

"What are you going to exchange for? Wisdom is a more expensive gift than life and power."

"I will exchange my life and soul!" the priest said earnestly, "I am willing to offer you anything you think can be exchanged."

"Even if what I want is not only your life and soul, but also the life and soul of all your descendants?"

"This……"

The Freemasons who participated in the summoning ceremony suddenly became divided.

They may not mind exchanging their lives and souls for the endless wisdom that only demons can give, but if the price is the lives and souls of all blood-related descendants...

Not even the most selfish person could agree to such a cruel deal right away.

"Sorry, we may not be able to give you an answer right away, but we...we..."

"You still long for the wisdom I bestow."

"Yes……"

The priest said dejectedly, kneeling down in front of the devil.

"Well, I'll give you three days to think slowly. Any time within the three days, as long as you make a decision, you can come here to find me.

But remember, it is all of you who summoned me, and it must be all of you who signed the contract with me, and there is no one less, unless he is dead. "

Matthew does not have the ability to bestow infinite wisdom, so he deliberately raised the price of signing a contract with the devil to an almost impossible high.

The freemasons who participated in the summoning did not know that the demons they "summoned" were actually incapable of completing the transaction. Hearing this, they all showed distressed and tangled expressions, stared at each other through metal masks, and finally walked out one after another under the leadership of the priest. A chapel in the dark.

They have to sit down and discuss it.

……

After confirming that all the members of the Freemasonry had left, Matthew took off his devil disguise, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, and was about to reach for the cup on the altar to drink water——

Crowley pushed open the door of the church with a displeased face: "Matthew, you are really... ah! So hot!"

Before he finished speaking, he ran out quickly after his hands were scalded by the holy power of the church, stood outside the window, and waved to Matthew inside: "I'm here."

"What's going on? Why did you run away immediately after opening the door?"

Matthew looked puzzled.

Crowley was even more angry, and raised his severely scalded hand: "Did you see that! My hand was scalded!"

"scald?"

"The church has divine power against demons! You idiot!"

Crowley gritted his teeth and glared at Matthew.

"Holy power? Why can't I feel it at all?"

Matthew was even more surprised.

For a long time, as a hybrid of a demon and a human, he can normally enter and exit religious places, but he feels uncomfortable, usually manifested as dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and tingling pain in the heart.

But this chapel is a place used by Freemasons to summon demons, how can there be divine power?

At least he hasn't had any discomfort since he landed in the form of a demon!

"I don't feel any discomfort," Matthew emphasized.

Crowley was stunned: "How is it possible! How could you not feel any discomfort in a place where the divine power is so strong? Are you really a demon?"

"There's no—"

"There is divine power here, very strong divine power."

Aziraphale pushed open the door of the church and entered slowly. Behind him, big white wings were slowly unfolding.

"Usually, I can control the opening and closing of my wings, but in this place, I find that I can't. The sacred power here is too strong, and it's almost catching up..."

Aziraphael paused for a moment and said, "City of Silver."

The City of Silver is the place where angels live, and the concentration of sacred power there is second only to the space of creation.

"Are you really a demon who can move freely in a place where the divine power is so strong?"

Aziraphale and Crowley asked in unison.

Matthew was in deep thought.

He was well aware of his demon status, but he also knew that Aziraphale and Crowley didn't have to lie to themselves about such a serious matter.

and so--

"I think this may be due to the black crystal..." Matthew took out the black crystal, "The power of the ancient Egyptian magician counteracted the sacred power of the church."

"is it?"

Aziraphale didn't believe it.

Crowley also expressed doubts: "You throw me the crystal and let me test it."

"it is good……"

After a series of unusual events, Matthew, who had a strong desire to explore his true identity, threw the black crystal to Crowley, who could only stand outside the window because of the sacred power in the chapel.

Crowley caught the black crystal and tried to walk towards the chapel again, but the result was—

"what!"

As soon as he walked to the door of the church, he was stabbed by the holy power, and the whole snake was blown away. The black crystal, which could not be held, drew an arc in the air and fell back to Matthew's feet.

"This……"

Matthew was shocked...

Crowley was even more—he was thrown from a tree by the divine force, and he yelled at Matthew angrily: "You did it on purpose! You must have done it on purpose!"

"I have no idea……"

Matthew picked up the black crystal and looked at Crowley and Aziraphale innocently: "I really don't know what's going on."

"I believe you."

Aziraphale looked at Matthew tenderly.

"But I don't believe it!"

After climbing down the tree with great difficulty, Crowley returned to the church gate with his back in pain: "I am now 100% sure that you are not a demon! Demons cannot stay in the church like angels, holding... ...holding..."

"Holding what?"

After being reminded by the system, Matthew already knew that the creation energy fragments were sealed in the black crystal.

In Crowley's presence, he feigned ignorance.

"I don't know what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's not something a demon can touch." Crowley said, "When I caught it, I felt that it contained something more powerful and terrifying than the purest holy power." The substance, this kind of thing...this kind of thing...ordinary demons can't even touch it!"

"I'm not an ordinary demon, I'm the result of a hybrid of a demon and a human." Matthew said, "Perhaps because of the hybrid, I became a heterogeneous demon who can touch things that angels can touch."

"Is that really the reason?"

Crowley was skeptical.

But Aziraphale accepted Matthew's explanation and patted Matthew on the shoulder: "In the future, if you have similar troubles, you can come to me directly. If I can't solve it, I can go to the City of Silver to find a high-ranking archangel to arrange it for you." Doubts and doubts."

"Thank you, Aziraphale, you are an angel."

"He was an angel!"

Crowley, who felt left out, expressed displeasure.

Matthew: "I'm sorry, although I'm already a demon, I still often unknowingly think about things from a human perspective."

"It's a virtue, and you don't have to feel sorry for it."

Aziraphale looked at Matthew with a smile.

Then they left the church together.

……

"Wow! Look what we found!"

In just one day and one night, the archaeological team made a breakthrough discovery on the stone pillars of the ruins that unexpectedly came to the world because of Loki's ostentatious behavior.

A large collection of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Experts in the deciphering of ancient Egyptian texts immediately went to work and found that these texts were all poems praising the god Aten.

"Apart from Pharaoh Akhenaten, who else would engrave words praising Aten God on a stone pillar? This is indeed a part of the city of Akhtaten! According to the shape and scale of the stone pillar, it is also the main place for worshiping Aten God! "

The archaeologists were elated and vigorously cleaned up the site, looking for more evidence.

Wonder Woman's distress has not diminished a bit.

Matthew's words echoed in her ears repeatedly.

What would it take to get the German government to allow Matthew to touch the colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti up close?

If black crystals can really be inserted into the blank eye sockets of colored statues and the colored statues will be changed or even damaged due to this behavior, how should they explain the compensation to the German government that owns the statue and the Egyptian government that has always wanted the statue to return to Egypt?

Thinking of this, Wonder Woman sighed involuntarily.

Loki took the opportunity to walk up to her: "Diana, what are you worrying about?"

"nothing dealing with you."

Wonder Woman knows that Rocky is evil by nature and doesn't want to chat with him.

"But we are companions now, and companions should trust and share with each other, shouldn't they?"

"Our companionship belongs to the companionship that you unilaterally identified. I don't trust you and don't want to trust you."

After finishing speaking, Wonder Woman walked towards the busy archaeological site: "If you really want to gain our approval, then restrain your tricks and do something practical!"

"Isn't what I'm doing a serious practical thing?"

Loki said innocently.

Wonder Woman was speechless for a moment, but thinking that it was Loki who said this, she felt that it was not incomprehensible.

"Well, it's up to you to do what you want, I'm going to dig the sand."

"I'm coming too—"

Before the words finished, Loki rolled his eyes, pointed to the distance and said, "Diana, we have guests."

"guest?"

Wonder Woman looked up, looked in the direction of Loki's finger, and saw a sandstorm forming at an unnatural speed under the scorching sun and clear sky, and it turned out to be a roaring human face.

"What's going on here?"

Wonder Woman grips the lasso of truth and rises into the sky.

Thor also grabbed Thor's Hammer, and together with Loki in armor, he faced the uninvited guest.
