I want to have a date with Superman
Chapter 165 Welcome to Arkham, John
Seeing Zatara's completely determined look, Harley could only bite the bullet and said: "John, you should listen to me and call the police as soon as possible. At least you can expel the people from the nightclub.
But you are very confident, saying that the whole process is as simple as following the recipe. Your arrogance has killed hundreds of people. "
"Gudong, Gudong, Gudong."
A series of bubbles popped up, almost filling half of the experience jar, but Harley didn't pay attention and instead looked at Zatara.
Zatara's face was full of surprise, and she murmured: "The transformation at the end of life is indeed wonderful, unpredictable and impossible to fathom."
"What, dying transformation?" Rich and others shouted together.
Zatara looked at Harley with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "When I saw Constantine last week, I thought he would not be able to open the door to the transformation period within five years.
But today's encounter, as well as your words, made him start his deathbed transformation at this time, and it was a very rare change of mind and cognition.
When I first came over, Constantine was still stuck halfway, unable to advance or retreat, which was very dangerous.
I asked you to continue, but it was only because the Archmage's spiritual sense moved and he had a premonition that you could help him.
Sure enough, he has officially entered the stage of transformation. "
"This" Harley had a beeping expression on her face.
Last time, Robbie was raised from hell to heaven. This time, Constantine was directly allowed to initiate his deathbed transformation.
Is she pulling the leeks or fertilizing them?
"Your words are ordinary, but your language"
Zatara's eyes were covered with silver light, and Harry felt that everything inside and outside her body, including her soul, was being seen through.
She shivered, feeling inexplicable fear of this middle-aged man with a mustache.
——His strength is definitely not just that of a master of magic, but he is probably approaching a "divine wizard".
Suddenly, something dawned on Harry.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just observing your fate."
Zatara comforted her softly, dissipating the silver light in her pupils.
Harley felt even more uncomfortable.
Observing her fate as soon as they met, she was arrogant and self-righteous.
"What did you see?" she asked calmly.
Zatara shook his head in confusion, "You don't need high-sounding rhetoric, you seem to be able to easily make people fall into repentance through concise and direct language.
But your bloodline does not trace back to the ancestors of warlocks who are proficient in spiritual words. Maybe your talent is acquired? "
Making people repent must be the special effect of the evolution of the treasure deep in the soul.
It is extracting some energy related to will, and then using this energy to enhance her mental and will defense.
Seeing that Zatara did not discover her secret, Harry felt more relaxed and said, "I used to be a nun and controlled a small church. Many believers wanted to come to me for confession. They all said that I was good at preaching."
Zatara said with relief: "You may really have the talent to become a priest. It is better to be God's shepherd in the world than to follow the mess of dark wizards.
Harley, I sincerely recommend you.
Put down everything you have now and put on the nun's robe again. In the heaven camp, you can have a very bright future. "
Harley looked weird.
Judith and others also looked at her strangely.
Seeing Harry's expression, Zatara pointed to the ruins and said seriously: "Look at the cost of black magic. If you continue on this path, you will end up with a bad end sooner or later."
Harry thought to himself, you are just standing and talking without pain in your back. If there are other choices, each of them would like to learn orthodox magic.
But what Zatara said is not unreasonable: becoming a nun and doing penance for others seems to have a really bright future.
Even if ordinary people are little leeks and have less experience to extract, if someone repented on her deathbed and became a saint, she would not only earn a good reputation in reality, but she could also get a large commission from heaven.
By the way, once she becomes famous as a nun, she will have the opportunity to receive an exorcism mission.
If you kill four birds with one stone, why not?
"Master, your teachings touched me deeply. After a while, I will buy a church and work as a nun again." She said sincerely.
"Uh, part-time job?" Zatara's cheek muscles twitched, "You are unwilling to give up your identity as the leader of the club?"
"With the knowledge of the master, I must know that the monks of the Celestial Dynasty who pay attention to "compassionate" often perform the angry-eyed Vajra.
I feel like I could become a Vajra Sister.
Rifle in left hand, cross in right hand.
The boss's chair in the front, my little brother comes to worship me; the Christ statue in the back store, I go to worship God. "Harry said seriously.
The Grand Master of Magic couldn't stand it any longer.
"It's up to you." He said with a twisted expression.
At this time, Jason Blood asked: "Zatara, are you here to deal with supernatural events?"
"Yes, I received a call from a friend in the Shadow Bureau. They discovered that there was a high-level, large-scale hellish magic reaction here, but they couldn't send someone to deal with it immediately, so they asked me to come over and take a look."
At this point, Zatara looked surprised, "Did you get summoned? Who is qualified to summon you?"
Jason Blood pointed at Harley and said: "It was her, the 'Merlin Contract' she knew from somewhere, not only could she summon Etrigan, but she also pulled me over.
Half an hour ago, I was on the other side of the Atlantic in Dublin, attending a gathering of old friends. "
"This is the first time I've heard of Merlin's Contract." Zatara looked at Harley in confusion.
"I won from a gamble with a devil." Harley shrugged and said casually.
"Just this once, Etrigan said so," Jason said.
Harley smiled bitterly and nodded.
In fact, she didn't lie. The opportunity to summon Etrigan was won by playing poker, but it was not her, but joy.
It can only be used once and is her reward for being an undercover wizard.
Knowing the devil's true name doesn't necessarily mean you can summon it.
Most demons who are not confused can refuse the summons.
For example, the Three Witches in a Carriage, except for Harley, few people have succeeded in the past hundred years.
However, in addition to the ordinary summoning ritual, there is also an exclusive sacrificial ritual that can be 100% successful.
Even Lucifer, knowing his exclusive sacrificial ritual, can make it respond to the call.
"Zatara, I leave this place to you. Come and have a drink with me when you have time. I have to leave now."
Jason said hello to Zatara, nodded to Harley, took one step forward, and disappeared into the space door.
Zatara glanced at the people at the scene and said calmly: "Logue's matter has nothing to do with you, but more than two hundred people died in the nightclub, so we can't hide it.
In fact, a large group of police and reporters had gathered outside at this time.
Someone must be responsible for this, and this is also the agreement the Shadow Bureau made with you before. "
Although Harley kept blaming Constantine before, she also knew that Zhacon had good intentions and that the strategy of 'using big ghosts to drive out little ones' was reasonable.
But Nergal is too cunning.
In other words, the price of black magic is too high and it comes too unexpectedly.
"Anyway, there are no survivors left here. Let's just say that the nightclub owner Logue summoned the devil and went out of control."
"No, I will not collude with you, and the police and the Shadow Bureau know about this and cannot cover it up." Zatala said sternly.
Harry looked surprised. You are a master of magic. How dare you say that you have never summoned demons or otherworldly creatures?
What does it mean to act innocent in front of us now?
Rich, Frank, and Judith also looked ugly.
They all felt that Harley's suggestion was very good, after all, the cause of the matter was indeed Logue.
If he hadn't been trying to save his daughter Astra, how could he have ended up like this?
After an awkward silence, Zha Kang, who was squatting on the ground and weeping silently, stood up and said in a daze: "It's my fault, I will take it. You leave first, I am willing to accept the punishment of the law."
"John, you-" Zed hesitated, his face full of worry.
Harley frowned and said, "John, you are now entering the terminal stage of transformation and are not suitable for litigation."
"Only punishment can make me feel better now." Constantine shook his head.
"Are you sure?" Harley looked at him suspiciously, "You are in a very bad state right now."
Constantine waved his hand, "I'm awake and fully understand what I'm doing. You guys should leave quickly."
Several people were about to persuade him again, but Zatara opened a blue space door directly and said: "He has made a choice, either you leave or stay with him."
"How about we leave first and then help John with the lawsuit." Judith took Harley's arm and whispered.
What a fart lawsuit, Constantine was arrested and imprisoned that day, and the next day these guys scattered and left Gotham one by one.
Only Constantine's nominal girlfriend, Zed, stayed.
Moreover, there was no way to fight the lawsuit. Constantine confessed directly and no one could help him.
Half a month later, Constantine was sentenced to ten years in prison for "participating in cult activities and causing heavy casualties."
However, after he was arrested by the police, he often showed symptoms such as epilepsy, foaming at the mouth, nervous convulsions, and madness and dementia in prison and court.
After examination by multiple psychiatrists, it was determined that he suffered from extremely serious mental illness.
Therefore, instead of going to Gotham's famous Blackgate Prison, he was sent to the even more famous Arkham Asylum.
Harley swears to God she didn't do anything.
In fact, she was very worried about Constantine's current state, because she knew that he was not pretending and was not sick.
But his state is more dangerous than mental illness.
There is only a one in seven chance of survival from terminal transformation.
Harry's transformation is the Muggle body gradually adapting to magical elements, which is relatively ordinary and safer.
Constantine is a rare change of mind and cognition.
A person's outlook on life is determined by his living environment and education level.
The simplest example is that the Chinese Saonian, who was born under the red flag, and the American guy have different views.
There is no difference in IQ between ancient people and modern people, but their outlook on life is very different.
The difference between the extraordinary world and the ordinary world far exceeds the difference between ancient and modern times and between China and foreign countries.
Harley's body is adapting to the extraordinary power, while Constantine's mind and cognition are adapting to the extraordinary.
This transformation is more unpredictable and more dangerous.
It is not an exaggeration to say "narrow escape".
The day Constantine was sent to Arkham, Harley met Zatara.
"Master also came to visit John?" Her attitude was not exactly enthusiastic.
"If I want to visit him, I won't let anyone know." Zatara looked at her with a complicated expression, "I am waiting for you specifically."
Harry's heart moved, "For John?"
He nodded slightly with a surprised expression, "How did you guess that?"
Harley smiled lightly and said, "If Master simply comes to me, he will definitely go to the fighting arena."
He said: "There is no fixed pattern and cannot be predicted for death-bed transformation. Its essence is a person's transformation under extraordinary circumstances.
No two people in the world are exactly the same, and naturally no two people have the same transformation.
The mages can only summarize a few major categories based on countless years of experience.
Changes in mind and cognition are rare, but not unprecedented.
I know how to maximize Constantine's chances of survival, I just hope you won't interfere with the process. "
The Astra Incident in Jersey City is actually Constantine's origin story - the Newcastle Incident.
However, Harley didn't get a chance to go to Newcastle, so Logue and Astra were moved to Jersey City.
Anyway, the big octopus in "Watchmen" did kill half the people in the city, and the vacant position really had to be filled by immigrants, so Logue's father came in the 1980s.
In "Constantine's City of Demons", there is the Newcastle Incident. Although it is a little different from the comics, the plot is basically the same.
In addition, if readers watch "City of Demons", they will see a plot like this at the beginning of the movie: Zha Kang wakes up and finds a group of little Constantines in the form of demons on the ground and bed.
Some people may not understand clearly and don’t know what Xiao Zhakang is.
That is deathbed transformation.
Yes, from the beginning of "City of Demons", Kang is undergoing a deathbed transformation, but it is different from Harley's physical changes and Kang's mental changes at this time.
Deathbed transformation is a setting in the comics, and it is only one of Xiao Zhakang's kind. The setting in the comics is very loose. It is there today, not tomorrow, or you just take the setting.
In fact, deathbed transformation only happened to Zha Kang.
I systematized it and perfected it into a practice system.
However, foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuan Ying are not so organized.
The transformation at the end of life is very strange, with no trace and no way to rely on. It represents the evolution of body, mind and morality from human to non-human.
