[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Ruby suddenly felt that the world at this moment seemed to be paused and everything slowed down.

Suddenly, many, many things that happened in the past flashed through her mind.

She remembered that in the bar where she first met, she was hiding in the body of the little black cat. Constantine pressed her cold hand on her little furry head and asked her: "Can you forcefully control the body of any creature? Any creature will do." ?”

Unable to lie, she replied, "Yes."

She suddenly remembered the look in Constantine's eyes at that time.

That complex look - as if seeing a cruel but hopeful future, melancholy, guilt, joy and relief appeared in those tired eyes at the same time.

Ruby at that time did not understand that look.

And she understands now.

"Konstantin," she said, her tone was unbelievably calm, "You've thought about it since then, you're going to send me to jail, right?"

Constantine looked at Sannomiya floating in the air.

He felt excruciating pain, his lungs seemed to be pierced and stirred by a sharp knife, the pain had spread to his limbs, he didn't even dare to speak anymore, he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, blood would splash from his throat come out.

But there seemed to be something that hurt more than his body.

Much more painful.

Sangong rushed down from the air, grabbed Constantine by the throat, and smashed him against the wall.

"boom--!"

With a wave of Sangong's hand, the car thrown by Clark was smashed back, and at the same time, a magic circle trapped the powerful Kryptonian.

"Damn it, Constantine, what are you doing!" Clark was trapped in the magic circle and couldn't move.

"I told you that Kryptonians are useless, why are you still so stupid, Constantine?" Sangong choked the neck of the exorcist who had disgusted him for so many years, but he didn't want to immediately let him die.

He wants this damned human to feel the pain.

Feel what hell is.

Konstantin felt that several of his ribs were broken, maybe not only ribs, because he also felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and waist, but it didn't matter.

San Gongmo made physical contact with him.

He looked up at Sangong, and said softly, "Ruby."

Ruby was about to die of anger: Damn it, the dog is crawling, cue what is your grandfather doing!

System: ... This is a really complete loss.

Ruby: Can't help it?Can't you find a chance to give me to the shark after I enter that ghostly illusion, so that I can be resurrected?

System: There is no signal in each other's illusion.

That is an independent space between nothingness and reality, a terrible place where people will be lost forever. Constantine is right, it is indeed the best choice to be exiled to the Three Houses.

Rather, it is surprising enough that Constantine can open each other's illusions by himself.

Sangong protruded a sharp thorn several meters long from the void, slowly inserted it into Constantine's chest, and firmly nailed him to the wall.

"If you beg me now, maybe I'll give you a good time." Sangong chuckled, and the blood splashed on his face made him even more excited.

Konstantin grabbed Sannomiya's spiked hand, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and shouted, "Ruby!"

At the same time, Ruby felt the contract imprinted on her soul start to heat up, and she had almost no time to react before being kicked out of Constantine's body and instantly entering Sangongmo's body.

【Three Palace Demon (? Level)】

Bewitching degree:? ? ?

compatibility:? ? ?

……

Sangong paused for a moment, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face, but soon, those six scarlet eyes were replaced by another brighter, clearer, flawless ruby-like color.

Ruby looked at the spikes she was holding in her hands, and stabbed in a little more expressionlessly.

Constantine snorted.

Ruby then let go of her hand, staring at Constantine with her six eyes, and said in a cold voice: "You are really brave, you are not afraid that I will use the Sangong Demon before entering your shit illusion His body destroyed this earth?"

Constantine shook his head: "You won't."

Ruby raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Constantine smiled, and said angrily, "Have you forgotten the content of the contract?"

Rule [-]: Help Constantine accomplish one thing within his power.

The second rule: In the process of completing the contract, do not damage Ruby's own life.

Article [-]: Don't hurt other people's lives, except for bad guys.

Ruby: ... Grass!Is that in your calculations too, John Constantine!

System: ... Grass!I want this guy to be permanently blacklisted in the system, and if he is detected in the future, he will make a detour!

Ruby: Is there a future? !I don't know if I can come back, and Konstantin is so badly injured that he can't live, okay? !

Ruby was so helpless that she didn't even know what to say for a while, so she could only laugh at herself: "Konstantin, it's really you, even this is counted... I thought it was a pity. I can bargain with you."

Ruby: IQ has been crushed, I'm sorry, I'll climb right now.

Constantine's pale face was covered with cold sweat, he smiled weakly and said, "I just..."

I just don't want any uncertainties in the plan.

After so many years of struggling, facing the bloody reality and beatings, he has long since lost his expectations for human nature.

He is unwilling to gamble, and he cannot gamble. He must ensure that his winning rate is [-]%, otherwise he will lose the whole world.

Clark on the side heard their conversation, and he already fully understood what was going on.

Constantine is planning to trade all of Ruby's future freedom in exchange for the permanent disappearance of the Sangongmo threat.

His heart was so cold that he tried his best to hit the barrier around him, but it was of no avail.

Ruby glanced back at him, and snapped her fingers casually, the strength of the strengthened Sangong was condensed, and the barrier became stronger immediately.

"Ruby!" Clark hammered the barrier hard, "Don't listen to him! Let me out, and we'll find someone to figure out a way. There must be a way to solve this problem!"

"Do you know Clark?" Ruby looked at him and said sadly, "The Sangong Mo is talking in my ear.

"He said he only needs a minute to get his body back and when that happens, he's going to tear each of us apart.

"Clark, do you think 1 minute is enough time to think of something?"

Clark looked at Ruby, he suddenly felt a little blurry.

1 minutes.

Even the ins and outs of the whole thing are unclear.

Constantine chose the safest, most painless, and least complicated method to solve this matter.

No one dies, no battle damage, no risk.

A demon like Sangongmo, who can destroy the entire universe, can be solved so easily, even the economic loss is not worth mentioning.

The only thing they are sorry for is that innocent little symbiont.

And Clark helped him complete the most important and crucial step in the plan. He made Ruby lose his retreat forever.

He is an accomplice.

"No...it shouldn't be like this..."

At this moment, the omnipotent god on earth felt the terrible sense of frustration and powerlessness so clearly.

He couldn't be more clear about the consequences of releasing Sangong.

He himself can even be easily brainwashed and controlled by Sangong, turning him into a murder weapon to kill the world.

Apart from the fastest and safest way in front of him, what better way could he have to prevent this disaster?

Even if there is, he summoned the Justice League, or even the Dark Justice League, even if it is really solved, how many innocent people will die?

Even if it's all worth it, will they be able to deal with Sannomiya's threat once and for all?

--cannot.

This is the only way.

And he was an accomplice.

"No... there must be another way, don't listen to Constantine!" Clark shouted at Ruby with all his strength.

"It's too late, Clark." Ruby sighed, "I can't disobey Constantine."

That contract is too overbearing and will even be enforced.

Constantine stretched out his hand and flicked across the void.

A white crack in the space was pulled open, revealing the grotesque illusions of each other, bottomless, like the most terrifying cage.

Ruby turned around and looked at each other's illusion.

She staggered suddenly, and the voice of Sangong Mo sounded: "No...damn it, you damned low thing, let me go!"

"Shut up, you ugly bastard!" Ruby covered her head, "Why is this guy... so hard to control, shit!"

She quickly ran towards the gap.

With every step she ran, the fear in her heart became more and more profound, so that her steps became slower and slower, slower and slower, and at the last step, she stopped.

She looked at the terrifying world in the gap, trembling with fear, almost wanted to cry.

She looked back at Constantine, as if she wanted to scold him, but finally swallowed the curse.

She said: "Konstantin, you don't need to go through so much trouble, you just need to tell me this matter, if it is for this world, of course I will agree without hesitation...Saving the world, so cool Things, who wouldn't want to?"

but.

But, she hates people who lie to her the most.

Ruby paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, a smile uglier than crying appeared on the face of the Sangongmo.

She said, "I should have been willing to save the world, Constantine.

"But because there is one more you in this world, I seem to be less willing now."

Constantine froze for a moment.

He seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world suddenly, and couldn't stop laughing.

He couldn't stop laughing until blood trickled from his pale mouth and dripped onto the spike that pierced him.

Afterwards, Ruby turned her head to look at Clark, and said, "And you, Clark, you remember...you remember!"

- remember what?

Remember everything he ever did.

Remember all the bad judgments he made.

Remember... the sacrifices she once made for this world.

Constantine is doomed, and after his death Clark will be the only one who knows the truth.

Remember, Clark.

After speaking, Ruby glanced at Constantine for the last time, and said softly in her clear voice like a nightingale:

"Go to hell, John Constantine."

After speaking, she stepped into the crack.

The rift closed completely behind her.

Constantine's hand dropped, and blood dripped down his pale fingers to the ground.

The moment Sannomiya disappeared, the barrier around Clark also disappeared.At the same time, the bloody cloud and hurricane hovering in the sky also disappeared, and everything went back to the beginning, as if there had never been a terrifying demon.

He flew to Constantine's side almost instantly, punched the wall next to his ear, and almost collapsed the wall.

He roared out of control: "You ruined her!!"

Constantine raised his eyes with some difficulty. He took out a cigarette from his pocket with trembling fingers, and was about to light it, but Clark snatched it away and threw it aside.

"Open that illusion." He stared at Constantine, with a faint red light in his eyes, "let her out."

"No..." Konstantin's cigarette was taken away, and his hand dropped limply again, "Sangong will come out sooner than her."

"..." Clark looked at him and said almost collapsed: "Is there no other way to control him!?"

Constantine closed his eyes.

His heart was beating weakly, and the excessive blood loss had already put him into a state of shock.

"Damn it!" Clark's eyes were almost red, "No... there will always be a way, I have to find a way!"

Constantine can't be saved anymore, he doesn't believe that only Constantine can open each other's illusion!

He must find help!

Bats, Diana, Shazam, Zatanna, even Raven, anyone is welcome!

He left the street, and the hurricane of takeoff lifted Konstantin's black hair that was wet with cold sweat from his forehead.

Constantine seemed to have been awakened.

He opened his eyes, and saw a pair of pale and slender hands with slender joints, slowly grasping the spike that nailed him to the wall.

Everything around stopped.

Time stood still at this moment.

Lucifer, who came down because his death was imminent, looked at him quietly, and then pulled out the spike from his chest suddenly.

Constantine lost his support and fell powerlessly to the ground.

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, Constantine." Lucifer moved a chair out of nowhere, sat in front of him, and said with a smile: "Good job, that little guy's sacrifice is truly amazing." Moves me."

"..." Konstantin sat against the wall in a pool of blood, breathing weakly, opened his eyes and looked at Lucifer, who was wearing a spotless white suit and sat on a chair after a while, smiling at him.

Time was stopped, and his blood stopped splattering, temporarily slowing Death's footsteps.

But the pain still followed, tormenting his nerves, and in this case, he couldn't even use a coma to escape the pain.

"So, it's time to fulfill my promise." Lucifer said with a relaxed tone, "What do you want? Live a little longer?"

"..." Constantine closed his eyes.

After a while, he said with difficulty: "You can't confront Sangong head-on, so can you help me control Sangong Demon for a while? Five seconds is enough."

Lucifer narrowed his eyes.

"Are you sure?" His tone was a little surprised.

Constantine nodded slightly.

"This is not an easy thing," he said, "especially now that he is in the illusion of each other. This is harder than renewing your life."

Constantine smiled softly: "You are, can't you do it?"

Lucifer narrowed his eyes.

After a while, he also laughed: "You don't have to provoke me. Well, I will help you with this, and it will be regarded as a reward for dedicating your soul to me in advance."

After finishing speaking, he raised his chin: "I hope you still have the strength to open each other's illusion."

His smile was a little gloating.

Constantine took a deep breath, and a small magic circle appeared on his body, temporarily suppressing the fatal wound.

He staggered to his feet from the blood-stained ground and stretched out his hand.

"Lu, this is not a fun thing, you have to be prepared." Constantine said.

There is only one chance.

Only for a moment.

"Since I promised you, I won't be perfunctory... you can open it." Lucifer nodded and said.

Even a devil needs credibility.

At the moment when each other's illusion opened, a red shadow appeared instantly, rushing desperately towards the exit——

"Road!" Constantine shouted, he turned his head to look at Lucifer's position, Lucifer had disappeared at this time.

He looked at Sangong. At this time, Sangong was only a few millimeters away from the exit, but it seemed to be controlled by some invisible hand, unable to move. Six scarlet eyes were fixed on Constantine.

"Konstantin...!" he roared in a hoarse voice.

Constantine reacted immediately.

Lucifer is already helping, and the Sangong Mo is pinned down!

He ignored the painful wound on his body, grabbed Sangong's hand, and shouted: "Ruby! Come in!"

Ruby didn't respond at all.

"Damn it!" Constantine gritted his teeth, and quickly drew a magic circle with his other blood-stained hand, and pressed it on Sangong's body.

He pulled hard, and the small silver-white symbiote that fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion was pulled out of the magic circle. Constantine pulled Ruby into his arms, and then quickly let go They folded their hands and fell straight backwards, closing the exit of each other's illusion in an instant——

"No!!!" Sangong's roar was blocked behind each other's illusion.

The exit is closed.

Constantine fell to the ground, he snorted, but his hands firmly protected Ruby in his arms, as if he was afraid of waking her up.

Looking at the void where only a wisp of green smoke remained, he let out a long breath.

"It's great, Constantine." Lucifer reappeared on the chair, applauded and said with a smile, "You just wasted your last chance to live because of such a small thing."

Constantine didn't even look at Lucifer. He wanted to rub Ruby in his arms, but he was afraid that the blood on his hands would stain her innocent body. After a long while, he sighed, but still didn't touch her. she.

But at this moment, the tiredness and decadence in his eyes all disappeared.

It seemed that the light hidden in his eyes finally drove away all the haze, and everything was shrouded in the gentle sunshine, warm as spring.

He put Ruby down carefully. He wanted to hide Ruby in an inconspicuous place, but he really had no strength. Just putting Ruby down exhausted his last strength.

He fell into a pool of blood, sighed softly, and that sigh disappeared in the piercing evening wind.

Lucifer walked up to him and grabbed his bloody arm.

"It's time to go, Constantine." He said in a gentle tone, but couldn't hide his excitement, "Since you have killed many of my subordinates over the years... I will treat you well, trust me, you will definitely enjoy it .”

Death has found you.

It's time to answer the call of hell.

He dragged Constantine along the deserted streets of Las Vegas into the deep night.

Konstantin fell to the ground with his eyes closed, he was dragged, and a long bloodstain was drawn on the ground.

He took one last look at Ruby, curled up in a small ball, sleeping.

"Good night, Ruby," he said softly.

As you'd expect.

—Constantine, finally going to hell.

……

Ruby was still sleeping peacefully and obediently.

Since then, no one knows what happened here.

Only the eternal night sky in Las Vegas, watching countless sins and reincarnation, is remembered.
