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

"Stop!"

Holding a lasso of mantra, Wonder Woman stood in the air in front of the sandstorm that was obviously created by magic, and shouted, "If you don't stop, I won't be polite!"

"And I!"

Thor shook Thor's hammer: "I will use my hammer to break up your sandstorm, this is not a joke."

Upon seeing this, Rocky said arrogantly: "Although I don't want to fight with you, if you refuse to communicate with us in words, we can only communicate with you by force."

"Have you figured it out?"

Wonder Woman shouted again.

There was a brief pause in the raging sandstorm.

Afterwards, the sandstorm dissipated, and a tall, bald man in local costume appeared on the open space. He opened his mouth and introduced himself in slightly stiff English, "I am Imerton, the guardian of this land."

"protector?"

Loki raised his eyebrows: "Grow up to be such a guardian?"

The dominant belief in modern Egypt is YSL. YSL men usually wear scarves and beards, but this guy in front of him not only exposed his bald head, but also shaved his chin cleanly without a beard.

"I am the guardian of the land, not modern Egypt!"

Emerton felt offended and emphasized uncomfortably: "This land chose me!"

"I am still--"

"Loki!"

Thor stopped Loki.

Wonder Woman stepped forward and looked at the man who had shaved his hair and beard obviously according to the way of ancient Egyptian priests: "You are the guardian of this place, so you must know this land very well. Then you know that this place used to be the place of Akena. Do you enshrine the god Aten, the city of Akhtaton, which swallowed up the pharaoh?"

"know."

"Since this is the case, the original owner and faith of this land have died. Why do you, as a guardian, still maintain the appearance of ancient Egypt?"

Wonder Woman calmly asked Imerton, who claimed to be the Guardian.

As we all know, creatures born of faith will age and disappear due to the death of faith.

Although the ancient Egyptian civilization has been cut off, the ancient Egyptian culture still shines brilliantly in the museum. The main gods in the ancient Egyptian mythology——

For example, the goddess Isis, the guardian god Horus, and the death god Anubis continue to exist in modern society.

But this does not include the god Aten.

The worship of Aten God was also a very unpopular belief in the ancient Egyptian era of polytheism. Without the religious reform of Pharaoh Akhenaten, later generations might not even know that there are hundreds of belief gods in ancient Egyptian culture. There was a god named Aten.

Even so, later generations' understanding of Akhenaten is limited to the religious reform of Pharaoh Akhenaten, and his name usually only appears in archaeological sites and historical papers on the religious reform of Pharaoh Akhenaten, which has been forgotten. Naturally, it is impossible for the city of Akhtatun to still be inhabited by guardians inherited from ancient Egypt!

"who are you?"

Wonder Woman raised the lasso of truth, ready to use the lasso to force Imerton to tell the truth.

Imerton felt the powerful power contained in the mantra lasso, and he clenched his fists in a defensive posture, and said in his mouth: "I admit that I have concealed something from you, but I am not as evil as you think."

"Since you admit that you have concealed something, why don't you tell the truth?"

Wonder Woman asked Emerton sharply: "I don't like a lying companion!"

"I'm sorry, I have reasons to hide."

Emerton also refused to budge.

Wonder Woman saw this——

"Imorton, if you continue to refuse to reveal your identity, I will judge you as my enemy!"

……

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

Taking off his cloak and mask, the young talented Michael asked his Masonic mentor angrily: "The summoning ceremony was successful, but the price of exchanging wisdom..."

"You want to quit?"

"sorry."

Michael looked down.

He is eager for knowledge, but he also loves life, and falling into hell after death is the highest price he is willing to pay for the devil's deal.

So, when the demon summoned by the ceremony demanded that everyone present give their lives and the souls of all blood relatives in exchange for endless wisdom, Michael flinched.

He even began to regret participating in the summoning ceremony.

If I'm not at the ceremony, I don't have to...

"You don't have the right to choose..." the mentor said, "Everyone who participated in the summoning ceremony has no right to choose."

"Mentor, you—"

Michael was shocked.

The instructor's words made him think of some extreme possibility: "You don't want to—"

"Compared to the endless wisdom, human's mere thousands of years of civilization is nothing to mention! What's more, what He wants is the lives and souls of all the people who participated in the summoning ceremony and their blood relatives!"

The mentor looked at Michael frantically: "The road to eternity is right in front of us! This is a gift from the Demon God!"

"But I don't want to die! I'm not married yet, and I haven't enjoyed the prosperity of the world yet! I don't want to die!"

Michael instinctively backed away.

The tutor's fanatical expression scared him, for fear that the tutor would--

"You once dreamed about the existence of the divine, which shows that you were chosen by the divine from the very beginning. Anyone else can quit because of their cowardice and short-sightedness, but you cannot!"

A crazy smile gradually appeared on the corner of the instructor's mouth.

He looked at Michael, as if a hunter saw a delicious prey: "You are an important sacrifice! An extremely important sacrifice! I want to sacrifice you! Use your life for the qualification of a secret transaction!"

"But I don't want to!"

Michael shouted, turned around and grabbed the decorative deer head on the wall, and stabbed the mentor with the sharp antlers like a ghost!

"I don't want to die! No one can make me die! I want to live! I want to live and stand on top of the world!"

Accompanied by hysterical roars, the antlers pierced the instructor's throat, and blood flowed out. The instructor looked at Michael with a dead eye: "For...for...why..."

After speaking, the instructor completely died.

Back to himself Michael was terrified.

He quickly threw away the blood-stained decorative deer head, rushed into the bathroom, rinsed his blood-stained hands over and over again, and muttered frantically: "I didn't kill anyone! He ran over by himself! He wanted to kill me! I was defending myself! I Didn't expect the antlers to go through his throat! I didn't kill anyone! Never! Never—"

Michael's voice choked suddenly.

He saw standing behind himself in the mirror, a pale, handsome man who resembled the demon they had summoned in the chapel.

"You...you are...you are..."

He subconsciously turned around, but behind him he saw Matthew in a casual windbreaker.

Immediately afterwards, a series of unbelievable things that happened before the abnormal situation called by the mentor called the divine enlightenment dream came back to his memory.

Looking at Matthew's face, Michael's voice choked up: "Why! Why did you do this to me!"

"Don't you feel honored to be chosen by me?"

Matthew posed as a demon.

Hearing this, Michael couldn't help trembling, pleading repeatedly: "Don't! Don't kill me! Don't take my soul away! I haven't lived long enough and I don't want to die! I...I want to..."

"If all I wanted was your life and soul, I would have killed you when we first met."

Matthew looked at Michael with ease, watching him trembling all day long like a prey played by a hunter, trembling all over his body: "I appeared by your side before the summoning ceremony, because I chose you, and I need you I do things."

"What do you want me to do for you? As long as you don't kill me... as long as you don't take my soul... I will do anything for you!"

Michael, who was completely terrified by Matthew's demon declaration, looked at Matthew beggingly, kneeling on his knees, terrified.

Matthew took the opportunity to express his request: "I want you to take me to the Masonic headquarters to check Da Vinci's records."

"why?"

Michael asked puzzledly: "Isn't Master Da Vinci's soul already—"

"His soul went to hell, but his body remained on earth."

"what?"

Michael was completely confused.

With his mind crushed, he pleaded: "How can there be someone whose soul has entered the hell body but is still in the world? Master, please pity your servant and tell me what's going on?"

"You are just a humble servant, you only need to do what I tell you, and don't ask or think about anything else."

Matthew knew that Michael obeyed him out of fear, so naturally he didn't dare to let him find out his details. After making a mysterious announcement, he disappeared in smoke and dust.

Before leaving, he left a hot mark on Michael's chest to ensure that Michael would still obey him wholeheartedly after he left.

……

After confirming that the demon had left, Michael opened his eyes, looked at the mentor's corpse still bleeding in the corner of the wall, and looked at the hot and shiny demon symbol on his chest, and gradually made a decision in his heart.

Since there is no way out, why not accept the devil's appreciation and become the devil's servant!

……

clap clap clap!

Matthew had just returned to the residence, and Crowley, who occupied his room to have afternoon tea with Aziraphale, immediately applauded and praised: "You are indeed a genius devil. It is obviously the first time you are doing devil work, but you are better than me. Pure devils are more devils."

"It's just a plan."

Matthew walked to the afternoon tea table full of refreshments, picked up a piece of cake, and said while eating: "The Freemasons don't seem to know that Da Vinci cheated on death."

"Da Vinci cheated death?"

Crowley showed a subtle smile: "Death is not governed by hell."

"What do you mean?"

"Death is death, and hell is hell," said Crowley. "You don't even know the obvious, do you?"

"I--"

【Respected and great master, please allow your devout, loyal and generous servant Kespler to point out humbly that the death in the mouth of the 'Snake of Eden' refers to the death of endless families, and he is in charge of the death of all things, including planets and dust. 】

The system suddenly sounded to remind Matthew.

Matthew understood, and asked Crowley: "Since Da Vinci didn't die, why did his soul go to hell?"

"How could I know why? If I want to know why, I won't sit here and cooperate with you."

Crowley said boldly.

Matthew rolled his eyes: "It turns out that using my bank card to pay for afternoon tea in my room is what you call sitting here and cooperating with me?"

"At least I didn't expose you in front of any Freemason..." Crowley said, "Not only did I help you hide it, but I also provided you with the necessary information."

"All right……"

Matthew is speechless...

At this time, Wonder Woman sent a communication.

Matthew turned on the screen and saw a tall, bald man standing beside the heroine: "Who is he? Thor's new friend?"

"He is Imerton, a high priest of the No.13 Dynasty in ancient Egypt who lived to the modern age with mystical techniques. The Egyptian gods he served were Ra, the god of the sun, Anubis, the god of the underworld, and Seth, the god of the storm. He is a A mighty magician."

Wonder Woman smiled and introduced Imerton to Matthew.

The system panel in front of Matthew also quickly scrolled through the relevant introduction about ancient Egypt.

[According to Maneda's "General History of Egypt", the No.13 dynasty of ancient Egypt belonged to the Middle Kingdom period (1786 BC-1633 BC), and was later replaced by the No.14 dynasty.

Akhenaten Pharaoh's religious reform took place in the late No.18 Dynasty during the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The most well-known Ramses II was the No.19 Dynasty pharaoh.

In addition, according to ancient Egyptian religious and archaeological research, Seth, the storm god, one of the nine gods of Egypt, was the patron saint of the Pharaoh during the No.15 and Sixteenth Dynasties established by the foreign Hyksos. After his rule was overthrown, Seth gradually changed from the patron saint of the pharaoh to the evil god who killed his brother, but he was still the patron saint of Lower Egypt. 】

I see……

After reading the introduction of the system, Matthew also had a general understanding of Imerton's identity, and asked kindly: "Mr. Imerton, why did you suddenly appear in front of my friends? Because our excavation offended you?"

"I swear that the loyal dynasty and pharaoh have turned into dust. How could I deliberately embarrass you because of normal archaeological excavation work?"

"Then you—"

"I want to cooperate with you to dig out the city of Akhtatun and help you unravel the curse of ancient Egyptian magic on the surface of the black crystal."

"why?"

Matthew was surprised.

How could Emerton, as the highly respected high priest in the new king's time——

"If you are familiar with the history of ancient Egypt, you should know that Seth, one of the gods I serve, was crazily belittled by the followers of Horus during the new king, just because the rulers of the No.15 and Sixteen Dynasties who were overthrown by them also Praise God Seth!

These shameless people fabricated despicable lies, slandered Seth as the evil god who killed his brother, destroyed the foundation of Seth's folk belief, and took away the identity of Pharaoh's patron saint who originally belonged to Seth and a series of other treatment!Another god I served, Anubis, the god of the underworld, was also demoted from the lord of the underworld to the caretaker of the underworld! "

(Anubis is the son of Seth, the original god of the underworld. Later, because the status of Horus' father Olysis rose, Seth's status declined, and Anubis' identity as the god of the underworld was gradually replaced by Olympus. Lysis, degraded to Guardian of the Underworld.)

The more Imerton spoke, the more angry he became. His anger made the desert behind him move around, and a sandstorm was brewing.

"Imorton, restrain your anger!"

Wonder Woman loudly reminded Emerton who was angry.

Emerton accepted Wonder Woman's advice, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "The act of slandering the god Seth has become beyond my tolerance. In the late period of the No.18 Dynasty, Akhenaten even built an enshrined Aten's Akhtaten city is trying to force Aten's belief to take the eternal sun god!"

"I see."

Matthew finally understood Emerton's anger when he heard this.

As an ancient high priest who served the sun god, the god of the underworld, and the god of storm, he used secret techniques to obtain eternal life. He was already full of dissatisfaction with the rulers of the No.18 dynasty who slandered Seth and lowered the status of Anubis. Pharaoh Akhenaten even tried to depose the belief in the sun god Ra!

"But there's still one thing I can't figure out."

"what?"

"Since you are so dissatisfied with Pharaoh Akhenaten and his city of Akhtaten, why haven't you appeared in front of the world for the past 3000 years to let them know your dissatisfaction?"

"After the failure of Akhenaten's reform, everything he left in the world was destroyed by his successors and the rulers of the next No.19 dynasty, and I also flooded the city of Akhtaton he built with sand and dust , if no archaeologists found the city of Akhtatun, they would have been completely forgotten."

"That's enough punishment for me," Imerton said.

"That's a reasonable explanation indeed."

Matthew looked at Imerton: "What do you want us to help you with? And, what can you do for us?"

"I……"

Emerton looked at Matthew on the screen quietly, with the flames of faith burning deep in his eyes: "I will provide all the help I can, and the price is that you help me destroy the Ehta just excavated by the archaeologists." Tuncheng Ruins."

"That's all?" Wonder Woman asked.

"that's it."

Emerton said very positively, looking straight at Matthew.

Wonder Woman smoothed her hair.

This is different from the conditions they negotiated. Although Imerton's current conditions are obviously looser and easier to achieve, but——

"Imorton, can you leave for a while?"

Wonder Woman told Imerton very politely.

Emerton: "You want to talk privately?"

"Yes."

Wonder Woman nodded.

Imerton glanced at Matthew again, and left with a little reluctance.

Not long after he left, Wonder Woman immediately told Matthew about the encounter with Imerton and the whole process of their conflict and reconciliation, and added: "The cooperation conditions he proposed at the beginning are much harsher than the current conditions."

"The condition he put forward before was-"

"He wants us to build temples dedicated to the sun god Ra, the storm god Seth, and the god of the underworld Anubis on the ruins of the city of Akhtatun, and keep the temple open for at least 100 years..."

Wonder Woman said, "He was a devout ancient Egyptian priest after all."

"In that case, why does he take the initiative to lower the threshold for cooperation now?"

Matthew was confused.

Wonder Woman said: "I don't understand, maybe this matter may have something to do with you."

"It's about me?"

Matthew continued to be confused.

Wonder Woman: "Lilith, the goddess of night in the Sumerian mythology of Mesopotamia, was brought into Hebrew mythology to become the ex-wife of Adam who voluntarily left the Garden of Eden in the Bible, and was later endowed with a series of identities such as the ancestor of vampires and the dream demon. .

In Greek mythology, the god of love was named Aphrodite, but in Roman mythology, he became Venus and had a son named Cupid.In the same way, the same gods exist in different religious beliefs. "

"what do you mean--"

"Perhaps, one of the gods who protect you is the same person as one of the gods he worships. Of course, he has another name in ancient Egyptian mythology."

Wonder Woman analyzed clearly: "Besides, what could make an ancient Egyptian high priest who has lived for more than 3000 years suddenly lower the threshold for cooperation?"

"What you said makes sense, but we can't lower our vigilance against Imerton..." Matthew said, "After all, he is an ancient Egyptian high priest who has lived for at least 3000 years."

"Don't worry, I've been watching him closely, and I still have Rocky by my side."

With Loki's trouble-making nature, it is absolutely impossible to miss any betrayal flaws of his "companion".

Matthew also knew Loki's true nature. Hearing this, he was again impressed by Wonder Woman's intelligence and reminded her to be careful when she acted. Requisitioned room.

"Hey--"

"Why are you smiling all of a sudden? Could it be your lover who just called you?"

Crowley teased narrowly.

Of course he knew that it was Wonder Woman Princess Diana who called Matthew, but he wanted to use the ambiguous words "your lover" which might cause unnecessary misunderstanding and embarrassment, to get back at Matthew for his preoccupation.

"Crowley, why are you starting..."

Aziraphale couldn't stand it anymore, and tried to save Matthew.

"I didn't make things difficult for him, everything was his own doing..." Crowley blurted out, "Whether it's a demon or a human, his behavior is too abnormal."

"unusual?"

Matthew looked at Crowley sharply: "What are you talking about? Do you know something?"

"Forehead……"

Crowley smiled dryly when he realized he had said something he shouldn't have said, trying to get away with a fake smile.

It's a pity that Matthew doesn't like this.

"Tell me, how much do you really know about me?"

"I--"

"Crowley..."

Aziraphale also joined the "torture" team.

Crowley was in a dilemma.

He was a demon, lying and evil were in his nature, but he couldn't lie to Aziraphale, wouldn't and couldn't.

"Crowley, what are you hiding?"

Seeing that Crowley was silent, Aziraphale asked him with concern: "My experience tells me that hiding the truth in front of the person involved will only bring you pain, even if you are a demon."

"I……"

"Crowley—"

The angel looked at the devil with his sincere and pure eyes.

Crowley suddenly—

"Okay! I do know some secrets about the Constantine family."

"What kind of secret? Can you tell me?"

"Constantine... The Constantine family has a history of exorcism for more than 500 years. Among them is a female magician named Joanna Constantine. She...she is very lucky...very lucky..."

Crowley couldn't go on.

The secret stuck in his throat made him miserable.

"What happened to Joanna, Matthew's ancestor? Constantine?"

Aziraphale asked Crowley for Matthew.
