The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 311 Three Detectives (End)
"I don't know if you have heard a rumor that Gotham is also called the 'Dark Valley'. At least in the circle of occultism, this name is very loud. They say that this is the place where the darkness of the entire North America and even the world gathers." It's like the drain outlet of a swimming pool."

Constantine squinted his eyes and leaned on the sofa. His tone was relaxed and comfortable. He said, "This place is actually very suitable for the practice of black magic. It is not accurate to say that it is practice. It should be said that this place is naturally suitable for communicating with demons." , to reach a contract."

"Like a material that conducts electricity well?"

"It's a bit similar, but not exactly the same. In short, in the last era, people in the circle flocked here, but soon, people discovered that this place is not heaven for magic researchers, but hell, because here There exists a faction called the Court of Owls."

"I've heard of this name, a group of rich people who tried to control Gotham secretly, and they just got into bad luck recently."

Constantine shook his head and said, "I don't know what the court of owls you know is, but the one I know has something to do with occultism, and they are also called 'dark priests'."

"There are legends that they can communicate with an ancient dark creature, providing them with extremely powerful power without paying a price. They can use this power to cultivate killers or control others."

"How did you know this?"

"As I said before, I have always been plagued by the curse of my twin brother, so I am very careful about all the information about the ghost mother. I know that I will need them sooner or later."

"When I was roaming around Nottingham, I met a friend of Laurene's grandmother there, and I got from him a notebook of Laurena's grandmother Ivy, which recorded what she saw in Gotham. heard."

"Ivy is known as the most powerful ghost mother ever, and she was also one of the insiders who were drawn to Gotham in that era. Initially, like those others, she hoped to take advantage of Gotham's mystery and uniqueness. , Strengthen the connection between yourself and the contract demon, so as to gain more powerful power."

"But later, she violated one of the biggest taboos in the occult circle."

"You said this before, so what is it?"

"She fell in love with an ordinary man named Solomon Wayne, the ancestor of Bruce Wayne."

"I said before that although the ghost mother will sell the soul of the child to the devil in exchange for power, she must also pay the price herself. She will sacrifice every child she gives birth to the devil."

"After Ivy and Solomon fell in love, she became pregnant. At that time, Solomon didn't know that his lover was a witch. He felt extremely happy for the upcoming newborn, and this joy infected Ivy."

"Ivy really loves Solomon. She doesn't want to dedicate the crystallization of love between herself and her lover to the devil, but with her own power, she can't terminate this transaction at all. At this moment, the dark owl priest who has been lurking in Gotham has found Fucked her..."

"After Ivy came to Gotham, she contracted many children and sacrificed them to the devil. This abnormal situation was watched by the dark priests. They discovered the specialness of Ivy, so , They found Ivy, hoping that she could use the ghost mother's ability to control the children, and controlling the children is equivalent to controlling the future of Gotham City."

"In order to keep the children in her womb, Ivy promised them that she guaranteed that all offspring with the blood of ghost mothers would come to Gotham to control the children here for the dark priests, so the dark priests used special methods to deceive Killed the devil and saved the child in Ivy's womb."

"But people who commit taboos will end up miserable. Ivy and Solomon were too close, so that Solomon discovered her evil way of cultivation one night. As an ordinary person, Solomon couldn't accept all this at all. He couldn't accept himself. His lover was a wicked witch who killed countless children."

"He raised his gun at Ivy. Originally, Ivy, who was a witch, would not be afraid of the attack of an ordinary person, but at that time, Ivy was pregnant with Liujia, and her child was about to be born. That was her At the moment of her weakest strength, if Solomon did shoot, she would be dead."

"But in the end, Solomon also hesitated. He relented, and instead of shooting, he expelled Ivy from Gotham."

"On the rainy night when I left Gotham, Ivy gave birth to a child in a valley, and then she discovered that the dark priest lied to her. The child she gave birth was a monster made of dark energy..."

"Ivy exhausted her last strength to kill that monster, as well as her and Solomon's child."

"However, she managed to escape with her life. From then on, she returned to England and spent the rest of her life. The secrets about Gotham and the dark priest were recorded by her until they were passed on to me."

"Speaking of which, what's going on with you and Laurenna?"

"Lorena is subject to the contract between her ancestor Ivy and the dark priest, so she has to come to this dark city, but she doesn't like it here. She is fed up with being driven like a hound, and she wants to get rid of the dark priest."

"But she can't do this alone. When I found her, the two of us made a deal. As long as she can help me get rid of the curse of the fetus, I will help her get rid of the entanglement of the dark priest,"

"This should have been a win-win deal, but..."

At this moment, there was a harsh phone ringing in the dream space, Schiller snapped his fingers, the dream collapsed, and the severe pain swallowed Constantine again.

Schiller went downstairs to answer the phone, and Bruce's voice was on the opposite side, and he said, "Professor, Constantine is with you, isn't it?"

"That's right, do you have anything to do with him?"

"No matter what he says to you now, professor, subdue him immediately, and I will go there now."

After speaking, Bruce hung up the phone.

Soon, Batman appeared in Schiller's manor. When he walked into the reception room and saw Constantine spitting blood and pale face, he turned to look at Schiller and said, "Thank you, Professor .”

Schiller spread his hands and said, "I didn't do it."

Batman obviously had an expression of "I believe in your evil". He was still thinking, he beat Constantine so many times, and it was not as effective as Schiller hitting Constantine once.

"You have a sinister plan, don't you?" Batman asked, turning his head to look Constantine in the eye.

Constantine turned his head, his hands were relaxed by his side, as if he had given up struggling, Batman walked over, grabbed his neck with one hand, and lifted him up, his tone contained deep anger, He said: "You and Sanchez want to sacrifice Gotham's children to achieve your goals, Constantine..."

Konstantin grabbed his neck, and he said intermittently as if he was about to die: "...you...where...knew that?"

"I found Solomon Wayne's notes, in which he mentioned those evil methods..."

"...Then, what does it have to do with me...?" Constantine kept struggling, and Batman threw him to the ground, saying, "There is the magic circle pattern you drew at the scene of Cooper's murder in the journal." .”

"What does that mean?"

"According to the records in the diary, that is not an ordinary magic circle for summoning demons, but a magic circle for sacrificing a child's soul to the devil... What does it mean? Constantine, it means that you killed a child..."

"Ahem, is that right? Then tell me, who did I kill?"

Constantine was lying on the ground, clutching his neck, and looked at Batman with contempt. He said, "Batman, who monitors everything and knows everything, told me, who did I kill? Who is the victim?"

He was panting heavily, Schiller came up, stuffed two painkillers into his mouth, and said: "I advise you to squeeze out the last bit of toothpaste quickly, otherwise, even if Batman is willing to let go You, the curse in your body may not be able to wait..."

"Anyway, I'm about to die, so what does it matter if I say it or not?" Constantine lay flat on the ground, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Konstantin, it seems that you have been cheating for many years not only by rhetoric, but also by good psychology..."

"Okay, after you finish telling the end of this story, we can help you figure out a way..."

Constantine rolled his eyes and looked at Schiller, who also looked down at him and said, "Don't expect me to sign a contract with you. For a rotten person like you, I can verbally guarantee it is already the limit."

Constantine let out a gasp from his nose. He quickly got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his windbreaker jacket, pulled his tie, and sat back on the sofa again.

Seeing his smooth movements, Batman narrowed his eyes, and Constantine waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not pretending to be sick, these injuries and pains are real, but I just learned magic a long time ago. adapted……"

"Sometimes the sacrifices are not enough, so you can do it yourself. It's not a big deal to get an organ taken out by a demon. Just find another demon to make it up another day."

Schiller turned his head to glance at Batman's face, and then said to Constantine: "You should hurry up and get to the point, otherwise this righteous vigilante will use torture to extract a confession..."

"Okay..." Constantine sat on the sofa, propped his elbows on his knees and said, "Laurena and I do have a common plan, but I also have a plan of my own, and a backup plan for this plan ..."

"Maybe you don't know me. For a certain plan, I can prepare for several months or even years, and I can come up with a series of interlocking plans, just like this time..."

"My plan A is to lure the professor out, steal the crazy wine, go to the Oneiroi, and let him solve my troubles..."

"Plan B is to lure Batman out, deliver the courier, and then find that mysterious voice, and ask him to help me solve the trouble..."

"Plan C is to work with Laurene and let her help me out."

"And plan D is to attract the interest of you strange people in Gotham, so that you can find a way to help me solve the trouble..."

"A lot of people might like to do these plans sequentially, like, if plan A doesn't work out, use plan B, but I don't like that, I like doing them at the same time..."

Constantine, who was sitting on the sofa, lit another cigarette. He seemed to have shed part of his decadent appearance, revealing his inner sharp soul.

This son of sin, who has been accompanied by misfortune since birth, has never been a down and out tramp, but like everyone in Gotham, he is full of wisdom, imagination, creativity and action, calm, indifferent and evil madman.

For ordinary people, the complex plan that is difficult to understand just by listening to it has become a very common thing in his mouth, and Batman, who has personally experienced this series of plans, has to admit that the plan in front of him This lunatic, with layers of camouflage, fooled almost everyone.

Batman saw many familiar figures in Constantine's soul. Constantine was like a clown, Schiller, and... himself.

Hell detective?Perhaps, Batman thought, this "Detective" was more like the three of them rolled into one.
