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

"Matthew, do you want to know?"

Crowley looked at Matthew.

Matthew thought to himself, you've already said so much, don't you just want me to take the initiative to beg you?

Following Crowley's will, he asked, "Yes, I want to know what happened to the ancestor Joanna Constantine."

"This one……"

Crowley was playing tricks.

Aziraphale sternly said, "Crowley, you brought this up on your own initiative. I'll be very angry if you stop talking about half of what you said."

"but--"

"Tell Matthew quickly!"

Aziraphale urged Crowley.

Crowley said helplessly, "Joanna Constantine has met a real god."

"Who?" Matthew asked.

"Who else could it be?"

Crowley told Matthew with a wry smile: "Your ancestor Joanna has seen endless gods, both of you."

"what!"

Matthew gasped.

Although gods are gods to people on earth, gods are actually divided into three, six, and nine grades. Among them, the most permanent gods are called endless gods, who are the personal incarnations of the seven basic forces that exist universally in the universe.

These seven basic forces are fate, death, sleep (Sandman), destruction, desire, despair, and madness.

With the same origin, they are as close as a family, so they form endless families, calling each other brothers and sisters, and agreeing not to kill each other within the family.

Unlike most of the known gods, the endless gods are gods and not gods at the same time.Because the gods die, but they don't.

They wander eternally in the universe, everywhere.

No one can cheat or hurt the members of endless family, they are fooled because they are willing to play with humans.

Thinking of this, Matthew pretended not to care and asked: "What happened between my ancestor Joanna and the two endless gods? It can't be a stupid love game, right?"

"The two endless gods that Joanna met were Death and Sleep." Crowley said, "I don't know what happened between them. I only know that Joanna eventually became good friends with them. This This happened after a human named Godlin made a bet with death to get immortality."

"How did he do it?" Matthew asked almost jokingly.

"It is said that it was because he talked about his contempt for death in front of death. He felt that death is not necessary for life, and it is better for human beings not to die. Then death gave him the privilege of eternal life..."

Crowley said proudly, "Of course, Godling is the only one who gets the privilege of eternal life. His wife, children, and friends will all die normally."

"Isn't this—"

Eternal and endless loneliness.

Matthew said silently in his heart.

"Death is not without giving him a second chance to choose. As long as he prays for death to take him away, death will end his privilege of eternal life..."

Crowley said, "But this guy has lived in the world for 600 years and still hasn't prayed for death to take him away. Even in these 600 years, he has experienced glory and trough again and again, and he has a happy family in the blink of an eye. To be alone again, facing endless life alone, but he still feels good to be alive."

"People who dare to bet with death are not normal people." Matthew curled his lips.

Crowley: "Joanna who dared to threaten the endless family with a knife is even more abnormal."

"Forehead……"

Matthew choked.

He originally thought that the encounter between Joanna Constantine and the gods of the Endless Family was a legendary story similar to Godlin's bet with death, but he didn't expect——

As expected of the ancestor of the Constantine family, both men and women are tough and unconventional.

"What happened to Joanna who dared to threaten the gods of the endless family with a knife? Since Godlin was given the test of eternal life by death just because of a bet with death, Joanna's bold behavior must also—"

"She got nothing, at least nothing happened to her..." Crowley said, "but 300 years later, John Constantine was born, and after a few years, John Constantine was drawn by the First Fallen." Standing's demon blood made you."

"you……"

The answer with too much information made Matthew feel uneasy. He took out his cigarette case and wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down.

Crowley held out his hand: "Give me one."

"You don't have any cigarettes in your pocket?"

Matthew looked at Crowley displeased.

"Such high-quality magic cigarettes are not readily available."

Crowley quickly took a cigarette from the magic cigarette box obtained from the Kespler system, lit it, took a puff intoxicated, and exhaled a long smoke ring: "So why the hell is there a ban on smoking!"

"Because of John Constantine?" Aziraphale said abruptly.

As an angel, it is naturally impossible for him to touch the magic cigarette from hell, but when he saw the two demons Crowley and Matthew standing side by side smoking, he felt unavoidable——

"Give me one too."

"OK……"

Matthew happily smoked a magic cigarette and handed it to Aziraphale, and asked with concern, "Is there any problem for an angel to smoke a magic cigarette produced by hell?"

"I'm here, what could be wrong?"

Crowley said smugly.

Aziraphale took Matthew's magic cigarette, but didn't light it right away.

He put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it repeatedly, took out a few strands of tobacco and looked around, and finally came to the conclusion: "Your magic cigarette was not made by hell."

"Why do you say that?"

Matthew was surprised...

But Crowley said happily after being astonished: "I'll just say it! Hell has already banned smoking completely because of John Constantine, how could there be a big devil opening a cigarette factory to sell cigarettes! These cigarettes really—wait a minute! Magic cigarettes aren't made in hell?"

"Well, not made by hell."

Aziraphale said very firmly: "When I was in the City of Silver, I saw dried plants emitting a similar smell. Archangel Michael said that these things were transported from universe 666."

"Universe 666?"

Crowley's face suddenly became very horrified: "Your magic cigarette may come from universe 666! No! You are actually related to universe 666!"

"Me? Is it related to universe 666?"

Matthew, who was told by Lucifer that there is a special relationship between Universe 666 and himself, deliberately pretended to be stupid to Crowley and Aziraphale: "Wait a minute! What is Universe 666? A parallel universe?"

"Universe 666 is not a parallel universe, it is... the most special universe created by the Supreme God for Lucifer..." Crowley said with a horrified expression, "I don't know the specifics, but there are many in hell. The devil thinks that Lucifer is now trapped in Universe 666 by the Supreme God."

"How is it possible? I met him a few days ago."

"I'm talking about Lucifer's body..." Crowley explained, "Similar to Lucifer, the only existence in countless time and space, even if the body is trapped, the avatar may continue to live normally in the way he likes. You see The one who arrived was probably just his avatar."

"Why do I see him as an avatar? Maybe he is the avatar trapped in universe 666?" Matthew retorted.

Because of Crowley's words, Matthew's mood was extremely bad, but there was a strong Lucifer's touch on the surface of his skin, as if——

"Well, even if everything you said is true, what does it mean?"

Matthew pretended to be open-minded and said: "Lucifer is the only eternal existence in countless time and space. Although there is a Supreme God above him, as long as the Supreme God does not want to destroy him, he will always be the only eternal existence. He... ...he...he won't..."

"You love him?" Crowley asked cautiously.

Matthew: "Who can refuse the love from Lucifer?"

"so I--"

Crowley glanced at Aziraphale and whispered, "Well, if he wants to love me, I really can't refuse. He's perfect, perfect in every way."

After finishing speaking, Crowley hastily apologized to Aziraphale: "Honey, I just—"

"I'm not angry, not at all."

Aziraphale said calmly: "I'm glad you can tell the truth, because I thought about it just now, if he tells me that he loves me, I will be as unable to refuse Lucifer's love as you are."

"Uh..." Crowley fell silent.

Although this is the expected answer.

a long time--

Matthew took the initiative to interrupt the silence: "I was talking to Diana just now. She dug up a part of the city of Akhtaton in Egypt, and by the way attracted a No. 3000 dynasty of ancient Egypt named Emerton who lived at least 13 years. magician."

"Imerton?"

Crowley's expression was subtle again.

Matthew: "You know him?"

"Not really knowing each other, just seeing each other a few times," Crowley said. "After all, ancient Egypt worshiped cobras as sacred objects."

"Have you ever turned into a cobra and ate and drank in the Pharaoh's palace?"

Matthew looked at Crowley narrowly.

Crowley: "Ahem! Even a demon can't remember clearly what happened three or four thousand years ago! Of course, I will always remember every moment I spent with Yaz."

"Does this count as trying to cover up?"

Matthew looked at Aziraphale.

Aziraphale smiled, acquiescing to Crowley's dud.

Crowley also took the opportunity to bring the topic back on track: "In real history, Imerton is a very capable guy. Although he was born as a commoner, he became the prime minister of Pharaoh with his extraordinary talent, served as the priest of the sun god, designed and Built the first pyramid, wrote medical books.

His statue was placed in the temple to receive the worship of the ancient Egyptians as the god of medicine.As a result, in the movie made by the Americans, he became a peerless love brain who had an affair with the pharaoh's wife. "

"It's very Hollywood."

Matthew, who was stunned, said with a dry smile.

Crowley continued: "If the Emerton who met Wonder Woman is the No.13 Dynasty's Imerton himself, I suggest you go to Egypt immediately."

"why?"

"The specific situation is difficult to explain in words, and you will naturally know what is going on when you arrive in Egypt."

Crowley said very firmly.

Matthew: "But I just got Michael, and I'm about to enter the secret library of the Masonic Society through Michael, and unlock Da Vinci's deceitful death..."

"These two things are not contradictory..." Crowley said, "The real historical Imerton is the founder of Freemasonry, the predecessor of Freemasonry."

"what!"

Matthew was shocked, and then overjoyed: "You're telling me such an important thing now?"

"You didn't ask, why should I say?" Crowley replied confidently.

Matthew: "..."

Seeing this, Aziraphale smoothed things over and said, "After all, it happened thousands of years ago. It's normal for Crowley not to remember it for a while."

"I know myself……"

Matthew raised his hand to flick off the ash: "I'm going to Egypt to join Wonder Woman and the others now, Michael's side—"

"You don't want me to impersonate you and Michael—"

"Isn't it possible?"

"Of course not! I'm a demon, and any bad deeds done by a demon will be included in the annual kpi of hell, but the bad deeds done for other demons cannot—"

"Crowley, Matthew is our friend."

Aziraphale looked at Crowley sincerely: "Friends should help each other."

"I just--"

"How about this pack of cigarettes for you?"

Matthew swung the magic cigarette that Aziraphale said came from universe 666.

Crowley: "Well, you and I are friends, but even out of friendship—"

"Plus I owe you a promise."

Seeing that Crowley's attitude was loose, Matthew took the initiative to increase the size.

Hearing this, Crowley immediately changed his words: "Yaz is right, good friends should help each other! Feel free to go to Egypt to deal with the matter of Emerton and Freemason, and I will take care of it for you on Michael's side. of!"

"thanks……"

Matthew tossed the magic cigarette to Crowley, walked out of the room, and disappeared into the night.

Crowley held the magic cigarette case with a thoughtful expression on his face.

……

"Matthew! How do you—"

Opening the archaeological site tent early in the morning and finding Matthew outside the tent, Wonder Woman was very surprised: "When did you come here?"

"Come here overnight."

Matthew took the mineral water handed by Wonder Woman and took a sip: "Where's Imerton?"

"Are you looking for Imerton?"

"Some things need to be confirmed with him."

Matthew said vaguely.

After all, when Crowley had told him to go to Egypt immediately, he had only said that seeing Imerton there would understand why.

"he--"

Wonder Woman pointed to the edge of the archaeological site: "There..."

"OK……"

Matthew put down the half-drinked mineral water and walked towards Imerton who was praying devoutly to the rising sun.

……

Matthew respected Imerton's religious beliefs, and after coming to Imerton's side, he didn't talk to Imerton immediately.

He stood quietly behind Imerton until Imerton finished offering sacrifices to the sun god.

"Hey--"

"Hello……"

Emerton, who had noticed Matthew a long time ago, turned his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes fell on Matthew's face. What he was looking at was not Matthew himself, but——

"You are completely different from what I expected." Imerton said with a little regret.

Matthew: "Listen to this tone, you already knew about my existence?"

"I've been watching you..." Imerton said, "even if you don't remember."

"You know me--"

"I am familiar with you in the past."

Imerton said mysteriously, then folded his hands on his chest, took a step back, and bowed respectfully in front of Matthew, with his smooth forehead touching the dust on Matthew's toes: "I would like to serve you as a servant."

"why?"

Matthew asked inexplicably: "Why did you suddenly kneel down to me and volunteer to be my servant? In your eyes, what am I—"

"Isn't it normal for mortals to kneel to gods?"

Loki, who appeared out of nowhere, put his hands on Matthew's shoulders familiarly, and looked arrogantly at Imerton, who remained in a kneeling posture: "This posture suits you very well."

"Your arrogance will kill you, young half-god of Asgard."

Emerton raised his head, glanced at Loki with disdain, got up, and stood beside Matthew: "Please do not hesitate to order your servant."

"I--"

Matthew had already come out of the shock at this time. He realized that Imerton knelt down to him and was willing to serve him as a servant because Imerton could see the unfathomable darkness that Lucifer left in his body, so He followed his plan and asked Imerton: "What is the relationship between you and the 'Free Stonemasons' organization?"

"Free mason?"

Imerton blankly repeated this very unfamiliar word to him.

Matthew explained: "'Free Stonemason', a secret society that originated in ancient Egypt, after the ancient Egyptian civilization was forced to stop due to foreign invasion, they have been secretly keeping records of the ancient Egyptians in science, magic, literature, etc. The dossier of the research results obtained in the field, and changed its name to the Freemasonry, and the secret has been passed down to this day.”

"So that's how it is. I've heard of the Freemasonry organization."

After all, Emerton is the high priest of the sun god who has lived for thousands of years. He quickly understood what Matthew meant, and replied in poor English: "Masonry did originate from ancient Egypt and holds the parts that flowed out of ancient Egypt. Dossier, however, the predecessor of Freemasonry in ancient Egypt was not 'free stonemasons', but a group of Jews."

"Jews?"

Matthew was surprised.

As far as he knows, the Freemasonry pursues elitism, and many people participated in Hitler's plan to exterminate the Jews during World War II. How could it be possible——

"Christianity originated from Judaism, but Christians have always been pioneers in persecuting the Jews..." Imerton said nonchalantly, "In fact, the Jews themselves did not do much to exterminate other skin colors and races."

"You know Jewish history? Modern world history?"

"Master, Emerton just lived in seclusion in Egypt for thousands of years, and was not completely isolated from the world."

Emerton replied piously: "In fact, because Imerton has lived for thousands of years, I can tell the master with great certainty that the mainstream European society's perception of the relationship between Jews and Egyptians has always been wrong. .”

"You're talking about the story of Moses' exodus from Egypt?"

"Yes."

Imerton raised his head, looked sharply at the busy archaeologists not far away, and said slowly: "It was not the Egyptians' rejection of the Jews that forced Moses to leave Egypt with a large group of Jews, but the changes in the situation at that time and The faith of Moses himself."

"Wait a minute, I... I haven't recovered the memory of the past, and I can't understand what you said."

Matthew wanted to get more information from Imerton, and tried to pose as a god.

"Master, you don't need to be troubled by this, because your servant Imerton will explain in detail the other secret relationship between Moses and Ramses II next."

Imerton raised his hand, and the peaceful desert immediately turned into a mirage, performing an ancient pantomime.

"Akhenaten once tried to replace the sun god Ra with the Aten he believed in, so he built the city of Akhtaton away from the traditional capital Thebes.

Here, he gathered a large number of believers who believed in Aten like him.Of course, Akhenaten's Reformation ultimately failed completely.

After Akhenaten's death, his wife Nefertiti disguised as a man and his young son Tutankhamun jointly ruled Egypt. In order to stabilize the regime, they curry favor with Thebes, abandoned the city of Akhtaton, and put The Aten believers who followed Akhenaten devoutly all rushed to the quarry to do labor work.

Unfortunately, the sun god has given up on them.Soon, Nefertiti died, Tutankhamun also suffered retribution, and had no descendants.

In order to maintain the kingship, Tutankhamun's sister and wife proposed marriage to the Hittite king, but the Hittite prince died unexpectedly on the way to Egypt. The young queen had to marry the ruler Ayi. After Ayi died, Hollenheb became the new pharaoh.

Hollenheb's successor was Ramses I, the ancestor of the pharaoh who pursued Moses and the Jews in the Exodus story. "

"Is it Ramses II?"

Matthew blurted out.

He grew up Catholic, with adoptive parents and the nuns of the church convinced that Ramses II was the villainous pharaoh in the Moses Exodus story.

"Ramesses II had many children. How could he suffer from the loss of his firstborn son? What's more, the reliefs of Abu Simpo recorded in detail the dependent countries under Ramses II's rule, and the name of Israel was not included in them.

The first mention of Israel in the history of ancient Egypt is the stele of Melenputa, the successor of Ramesses II, the No.14 son. "

"Okay, let's talk slowly, I still have something to do."

Loki, who was dazed by the string of ancient Egyptian names, turned around and left when he heard this.

He came to Egypt to deceive Wonder Woman, and indirectly let the Justice League and the Avengers recognize his "reform of evil and return to justice". Trouble, of course, is as far away as possible.

Matthew knew that Loki was utilitarian and did not keep him.

After Loki left, he continued to ask Emerton: "Is Moses a Jew or an Egyptian? And those who followed Moses out of Egypt—"

"Moses was of Egyptian royal blood, a descendant of Akhenaten and the son of Ramses II."

"So Moses was the loser in the struggle for the Egyptian throne? His mother was an Egyptian princess of the blood of Pharaoh Akhenaten?"

"Princesses of the Egyptian royal family have noble bloodlines no less than men. When they grow up, they will marry their brothers who inherit the throne of Pharaoh. They cannot contact men other than blood relatives, and they will not adopt them. Once they find illegitimate children, they will be dealt with immediately. .”

Imerton said slowly: "After Moses lost to Melenputa in the war for the throne, he summoned the Egyptians who believed in Aten in the name of Akhenaten's blood, took away a large number of Jews by the way, and became king in the name of Judea." , and added Akhenaten's chapters praising Aten to the Bible, and those who opposed him were killed."
