American comics start with Zha Kang’s apprentice

When Chen Yu opened his eyes again, he was sitting within the circle outlined by Constantine with cigarette ashes.

The tobacco between the first and second rings was now emitting wisps of smoke and flickering sparks.

"Chen, is that you?" Constantine stood outside the circle and stared at Chen Yu suspiciously. He even took out a glass ball from his pocket, which contained light spots caused by the sloshing of the liquid.

Chen Yu thought it contained holy water.

"Again?" Chen Yu sighed softly, "It's hard to guard against it. This so-called divine magic circle is actually used on me, right? You are afraid that once I lose, the "Book of Magic" will occupy me. Body, but I am a hybrid demon, you can suppress me with holy water."

Chen Yu glanced at the black ring.

"Don't talk nonsense, prove it to me!" Constantine threatened with a cigarette in his mouth. He was very nervous, because he was obviously not sure about the extremely powerful power of the "Book of Magic". The rules work properly.

Chen Yu stretched out his foot to wipe away the ring, then waved his hand slightly to make all the soot disappear.

Constantine slowly lowered his hand.

Chen Yu's actions illustrate two points. First, he controls the "Book of Magic" and naturally controls this "dream" today. All outsider's rules are invalid in Chen Yu's domain. Second, even if Chen Yu has been swallowed by the "Book of Magic", Constantine can't do anything.

"To be honest, your lack of annihilation has proven that I cannot be the Book of Magic." Chen Yu put his hands in his pockets and said, "You know? It hates you. If you make it feel threatened, it will definitely I will immediately obliterate you in this 'thinking space'. I am protecting you, demon blood, remember, Constantine, this makes the connection between you and me very subtle. Before you can completely occupy me, The Book of Magic cannot kill you."

"What a fucking honor." Constantine stuffed the glass ball containing holy water back into his pocket, wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and then forced a smile, "Welcome back, Chen."

Chen Yu nodded expressionlessly, "I can't lose, because the Book of Magic has more emotions than I do. It wants to defeat me with morality. It thinks I'm hiding and repressing my emotions. At least for me There is a hint of guilt associated with being a blood relative, but unfortunately, I don’t feel it.”

Constantine looked at Chen Yu silently.

"That's it." Chen Yu spread his hands, "I treated myself as a trap, and it took the bait. Now, I think it's time for us to leave this 'thinking space' based on my own consciousness."

That's right, after completely surrendering to the second "Book of Magic", Chen Yu saw its basic principles clearly.

This is an extremely abstract power, similar to the ability of super-sense and the Shining. It can also control people's consciousness, forcibly hypnotize or create hallucinations, and hallucinations can even affect reality depending on their strength.

Everything relies on the soul itself, and "thinking space" can be created through memory under special hypnosis. The control is in Chen Yu's hands. Even if the body of the person being controlled rots, his soul will stay in the "thinking space" forever. It does not belong to heaven, hell, or any place after death.

That soul will forever belong to Chen Yu.

If the power of the "Book of Magic" continues to increase, it may be possible to imprison the so-called gods in it, and it may also be able to control the spirits of all things in an instant, forming an army of puppets comparable to those under the influence of the "Anti-Life Equation".

Now, the shape of the second "Book of Magic" has changed into a snail shell-shaped dirty sphere. It is the soul container, the altar of sacrifice and the tool for transformation and upgrading.

Dangerous power.

It is conceivable that if those powerful guys find out, they will probably line up to control me and kill me before I grow enough to destroy them.

There is no distinction between good and evil.

And there was a guy in front of them who was even more ruthless than them.

Chen Yu raised his eyelids, only to find that Constantine's expression was a little strange. He was even looking at Chen Yu, hesitating to speak.

"We have to leave. I hope Rose is okay." Chen Yu raised his hand.

"Chen...I saw your memory." Constantine spoke awkwardly.

Chen Yu suddenly realized that there was another trap in the divine magic circle.

The second ring and the tobacco... I should have thought there was something fishy.

"You followed me into the barrier of my mind while I was in a state of confusion about making decisions?" Chen Yu asked calmly, "You used lies to create a rift, and you hid inside. It's really a very good teaching demonstration. It's very useful to me, how did you..."

"Chen, I said before that my father is a scumbag." Constantine took a step forward and said in a rare serious voice, "I hate him. He has been beating me since the day I can remember. If it weren't for my Sister, I might have been abandoned a long time ago or beaten to death."

Chen Yu knew it in detail, but he didn't say anything.

Why is he saying this?

"My mother died because of my childbirth, and I was regarded as a murderer. Every time my father beat me, he would say the same thing. He said that I killed my mother, that I was a born devil, and that I should die quickly. . I hated him, but felt extremely guilty. I even hated myself, but at the same time I was afraid of death... I started to rebuke the world, and I started to be a bastard like my dad, even escaping and taking revenge on everything."

"Why are we talking about this here, Constantine?" Chen Yu couldn't help but asked curiously.

"So I started learning magic, and oh my God, I thought it was all fake! When I was eight, I even killed a homeless man with a cursed stone, but I didn't know... Damn it! I I don't know..." Constantine lowered his head. He ignored Chen Yu's news as if he was repenting, and just kept talking to himself, "I curse my father, I hate him! I hope he dies, I Found a black magic spell, I killed the neighbor's cat, I chopped off one of its legs and then buried the body, doing exactly the rituals of black magic, down to the last bit. I was looking forward to it, but at the same time I didn't believe it was Really, it was just, that was just a child's negative emotions venting! I just...oh my god..."

Constantine covered his face, "I just hope dad can love me, I just hope the broken family can..."

Chen Yu blinked. His raised arm wanted to fall on Constantine's shoulders, but he hesitated.

comfort?

So what to do?

Chen Yu was confused.

"The magic worked. My dad was aging and dying. In panic, I could only dig out the cat body and stuff it into a jar with formalin to stop it from rotting. It worked, but dad didn't. After recovering, he is like a weak mummy." Constantine laughed self-deprecatingly, "The only thing that remains unchanged is the abuse and curses against me."

The story came to an abrupt end.

Chen Yu tilted his head, "Uh... I don't understand..."

"You won't hate a family member forever." Constantine raised his head, "You are just deceiving yourself. They will not hate you, and they will never truly forget you."

Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes.

"Let your family kill you? Let them hate you? You stupid bastard!" Constantine cursed angrily, "You will only let them continue to suffer! You will let them live in fear and sorrow!"

Before falling into eternal darkness, the mother's frightened face covered with tears slowly approached. She was calling Chen Yu, she was crying...

"Your death will not change anything." Constantine said, "And you have not forgotten them. You did a good job. You deceived yourself, but... I saw that you are not a cold-blooded walking zombie, Chen .You know, just in your memory.”

Sun, beach, family.

They laughed brightly that summer.

All the good things locked deep in Chen Yu's memory maze emerged in his mind.

"If you fall into the darkness, I will kill you without hesitation, Chen, I swear!" Constantine patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, "But before that, tell me that you will not give up the struggle. No. Imitation, be damned! Be truly on the side of the people.”

"I'm trying, Constantine." Chen Yu said.

It felt like some ice crystals had broken in my heart, and my breathing seemed to be extremely smooth for the first time in a long time.

Chen Yu dropped his hanging hand in hesitation and grabbed Constantine's shoulder.

"Then, let's go." Constantine grinned with satisfaction, "Also, call me John."

The world began to collapse, and everything in front of Chen Yu's eyes seemed to be shattered by some external force.

The two began to fall.

Immediately afterwards, blood waves surged into the sky, they poured into the void space, spiraled upward, and finally gathered into a big hand to hold the two of them...
