[Zhongyingmei] Don't panic, I can still live!

【London, England】

"Ulysses, is everything going well?" There was a magnetic female voice on the other end of the phone.

London is always cloudy and rainy. Nemo has not seen the sun for a week. At this time, he held a black umbrella and stood along the Thames River, casually looking at the Shard on the other side of the river.Because of the rain, the clouds here always look very low, and the top floors of the modern buildings opposite are shrouded in clouds, which makes Nemo always have a feeling that he has not left Gotham.

"What's the matter?" Nemo looked at the photos in his hand with a very indifferent tone.

"Make sure you are safe. After all, you are now a resource of the Assassin League." The woman looked at the photos sent to him by her subordinates. Nemo is in London these days, and he should be following someone. She leaned closer to the photos and took a closer look. The man being followed had messy blond hair and was wearing a calf-length khaki windbreaker. There was almost no face in the photo, but judging from the back view and some blurred profile photos, this man was really a bit sloppy.

"When are you coming back?" The woman asked casually, as if she didn't care about the coldness in his voice.

Nemo didn't bother to respond, and was directly ready to hang up.

As if the woman on the other side of the line had predicted Nemo's movements, she stopped him.

"Hold on, Nemo."

Nemo tilted his head, connected the earpiece to the bluetooth and put it in his ear, raised the phone to bring up the camera, and started shooting his tracking target again.

"1 minutes."

"You know that the League of Assassins has missions in London, right?"

"50 seconds."

The woman didn't care much about his timekeeping, and continued: "Many elders in the alliance have doubts about your joining, I just remind you, don't use your redundant sympathy and sense of justice, if you destroy the alliance's actions , my father can't protect you either."

"Without that kind of thing, you still have 20 seconds." Nemo said indifferently.

The woman smiled: "Then tell me, who are you following? If it doesn't affect the alliance, our people can help you."

"Talia, don't test me, and don't try to control me." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

He looked at the man who seemed to be inadvertent in the crowd, but was actually deliberately avoiding his pursuit. He took the umbrella away and threw it into the trash can beside him. He put on the hat on his hoodie and stepped up to chase up.

The man's route became more and more remote. Nemo knew that the man must have spotted him, so he simply stopped hiding and quickened his pace to catch up.

Around another corner, the man lost track.

Nemo sighed slightly in his heart, he had been following him for several days, and this man was really too keen.Just when he took out the potion and was about to use it to find his trace, the other party suddenly flashed out from the side, strangled his neck and pressed him against the wet and muddy wall.

"Uh—" Nemo deliberately gave up resistance to show his harmlessness.

"Who are you and what do you want to do with me?"

The sloppy man was still smoking a cigarette, and he was not bewitched by Nemo's harmless lock at all. He held Nemo with one hand, and a golden magic circle had quietly formed with the other hand. He will immediately fight back.

"John Constantine, hell detective. I need your help, you can pay whatever you want."

Constantine slowly let go of him, but remained defensive.

Nemo turned around and looked at him very calmly.

The daytime in London was extremely long, it was almost 9 pm, and it was still bright. The two of them walked into a fast food restaurant together. Nemo ordered the most common burger and Coke, and sat opposite him.

Constantine looked at him carefully for a while, and suddenly, he frowned and said, "Your soul is damaged. Is it because of the forbidden technique?"

Nemo smiled at him: "Sure enough, I found the right person."

Constantine gave a "tsk" and put on a very stupid look: "I don't know where you heard about me, but maybe the rumors are not true, and you can't solve it with forbidden techniques I'm afraid I can't help you."

Nemo took a sip of Coca-Cola and said calmly, "I've already solved the matter related to the forbidden technique. I came to you because I hope you can do me a very simple favor."

"Sorry, you found the wrong person." Constantine had no interest in listening to him continue, and stood up very impatiently, ready to leave.

Nemo didn't try to persuade him any more, he just opened his palm, inside was a simple silver coin, and a Cerberus was engraved on the wall. *

Constantine looked surprised, and he couldn't help reaching out for the silver coin, but Nemo took it back into his palm.

"Now can you sit down and listen to me?"

Constantine glanced at him and finally sat down.

"Tell me." He said, staring at Nemo's hand holding the silver coin.

"I want you to keep a soul shard for me." Nemo said calmly.

Constantine was even more surprised, he pointed to himself: "Me?"

"Yes." Nemo nodded without hesitation.

Constantine sneered as if he had heard some joke: "What misunderstanding do you have about me?"

Nemo unfolded the coin in his hand again: "This mark of the dead can help you hide your breath in hell. Didn't you always want to bring back a girl's soul from there? I believe this token will be very useful to you."

Constantine looked at him again, and then took out a cigarette from the cigarette case to light it, but Nemo took it away.

"No smoking here."

The man bared his teeth irritably: "You have even investigated this, you must have heard of my reputation, whose soul fragment do you want me to keep? Do you have a grudge against him?"

Nemo opened his other hand, and there was a white crystal lying in it.

Constantine stared at the white crystal for a moment, and his eyes turned guarded when he looked at Nemo: "Whose soul is this, and how did you get it?"

Nemo wasn't going to tell him.Instead, he said: "I will use the mark of the dead as a token to exchange promises with you, and you will keep it for me. No matter what the circumstances, you are not allowed to use this piece of soul without authorization."

Constantine deliberated for a long time before asking, "Why did you choose me?"

Nemo smiled slightly: "You have blamed yourself for that girl's soul for so long, so I believe you will take good care of this soul fragment. Of course, on the other hand, I really have no one to trust, I can only ask you .”

The blond man squinted at the crystal for a long time, then glanced at the mark of the dead in his other hand, and finally stretched out his hand: "Deal."

Constantine made a simple magic contract, promising to take good care of the soul fragment, and in return, Nemo would give him the mark of the dead.If Constantine uses this piece of soul for other purposes without authorization, then the souls that have causal effects with the mark of the dead will fall into hell forever.

After the contract was over, a coin-sized magic crest appeared on both of their wrists, which at first glance looked like a gothic tattoo.

After all this was over, Nemo handed all the things in his hands to Constantine, and said to him with a smile: "It's a happy cooperation."

After the two had a simple meal, they left the restaurant together. When they parted, Nemo suddenly called him.

"Do you like the city of London?" he asked.

Constantine didn't know what he meant, so he lit a cigarette, took a long drag greedily, and then answered him half-jokingly: "Of course, if the will of every city is a living person, then although London It's not the most beautiful, but it must be the one I want to sleep the most."

"Will you give everything for her?" Nemo asked again.

Constantine thought for a while and replied, "Maybe not."

"If she suffered a huge injury, would you be heartbroken? If you knew she would be injured, would you stop it?" Nemo asked another question.

Constantine squinted at him and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Nemo asked again: "Do you know the League of Assassins?"

Constantine paused with his fingers holding a cigarette. He looked at Nemo and asked cautiously, "Are you talking about the leader who lived by Lazarus Pool for centuries?"

Nemo raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect to get unexpected gains from Constantine.He only thought for a few seconds before deciding to betray the League of Assassins.

"Tell me what you know about Lars and Lazarus Pool. In exchange, I will tell you something about to happen here, their conspiracy."

Constantine took one last breath of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground and stamped it out.

"This old monster has a pool of water. Everyone who knows it calls it the Lazarus Pool. It is the incarnation of God's resurrected darling Lazarus. Anyone who soaks in this pool will be brought back to life and rejuvenated. Lars rely on him Having lived for centuries and taking advantage of his near-immortality, he has amassed unimaginable wealth and connections."

Nemo thought for a while, and then asked: "As far as I know, all magic that violates the law of the soul will pay the same price. Can God violate the law?"

Constantine took out another cigarette: "At the beginning, Lars was the royal physician of a certain country in the ancient Middle East, and devoted his life to saving lives and healing the wounded. But now..."

He glanced at Nemo and asked with a smile, "You should have seen him, right? Do you think he is still the imperial physician?"

Nemo understood what Constantine was saying.He turned to ask: "You are not a member of the League of Assassins, why do you know so much?"

Constantine laughed loudly: "You all said that I am a detective from hell. Of course, my friend from hell told me this."

Nemo finally asked, "Can't Hell take his soul?"

Constantine glanced at him, thought for a while, and said, "He has the protection of Lazarus, and hell cannot touch the property from heaven."

Nemo let out a sigh, feeling that this world is really ridiculous. It turns out that in the eyes of gods, human beings are really just toys, good and bad, good and evil are not worth mentioning.

Constantine looked at him and said, "I've told you everything I know, it's your turn."

Nemo didn't bother, and told him directly: "People from the League of Assassins are in London now, and they want to create a terrorist attack here."

Constantine snapped his fingers, his eyes once again stained with guard and doubt: "Which aspect?"

Nemo looked at the people rushing to and from the subway entrance not far away: "I don't know much, but if you let me guess, the easiest way is to create an explosion. Rush towards a place with a lot of traffic, and then, 'Boom ——'."

Constantine's expression became more serious: "Who the hell are you?"

Nemo smiled, but did not answer his question: "I have told you everything I know, as for who I am..."

He paused, and then stroked his gray hair: "I may be a person who can never go into the daylight."

After saying that, he left.

It was already three days after he returned to the stronghold of the League of Assassins in the Middle East.

Lars originally wanted to provide him with better accommodation and living conditions, but Nemo refused. The only request he made was to stay away from the entire alliance, and to leave him alone.

Thalia finds him again.

"The alliance's operation in London failed." She pushed open the door of Nemo's room without any scruples.

Nemo focused on the beaker in his hand and the chemical reaction. He took down two test tubes from the stand and mixed the liquid in one into the other. Bubbles bubbled up in the test tube instantly, and the original brown solution Gradually turned into a transparent color.He fanned the mouth of the bottle with one hand, but he didn't smell any strange smell, so he poured the solution in the test tube into another small bottle, and sealed the small bottle carefully.

"What does it have to do with me?" After finishing all this, he replied slowly to Thalia.

The woman threw a picture of him meeting Konstantin on the test bench in front of him.

"John Constantine, he was the one who got in the way and sabotaged our operation. And you just met him before that. Explain."

Nemo glanced at the photo lightly, and said with a smile, "Hey, you took a good picture of me."

Thalia frowned.

"Ulysses, do you think that with your father protecting you, no one in the league would dare to touch you?"

Nemo nodded: "Of course, he can't protect even one person, isn't he a very faceless leader?"

Thalia took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger.

"The alliance is very complicated. Many people are staring at my father. We also have external enemies. You better restrain me. Don't forget, Jason Todd..."

Nemos interrupted her methodically: "Miss, you'd better not always threaten me with Jason Todd, otherwise what should I do if I get angry and forget what I promised Lars? The death of a Jason is a trivial matter, and it would be a pity to delay your father's steps to rule all mankind."

Thalia stared at him for a long time, and finally said with a smile: "Only me and my confidants know about the private meeting between you and John Constantine."

Nemo asked, "Then what do you want to do here?"

"You must contribute to the Alliance and convince the elders that you are indeed loyal to the Alliance of Assassins. Otherwise, even my father and I will find it difficult to guarantee the safety of Jason Todd and you."

"Is this what you mean, or Lars' warning?" Nemo asked.

"I suggested it to my father. This is also to allow you to better integrate into us. I repeat, you can't rely on your father's protection to gain safety in the League of Assassins, not to mention that Jason Todd still needs treatment and medical treatment. training."

She looked at Nemo's narrowed eyes again, and added, "I'm not a threat, I'm advising. Although no one else knows that you met Constantine, you were there before the League's operation against London." Stayed, this is what most elders know."

Nemo interrupted her: "Are you elders doing nothing? Why are you staring at me?"

"Because you are protected by the leader, and you haven't shown any talents worthy of protection so far. In the League of Assassins, the strongest is king. Is this reason enough?"

Nemo thought for a while, and finally accepted the explanation: "Miss, please continue."

"In just one day, Damian has already executed several waves of people who attempted to break in, hijack or harm Jason Todd."

Nemo's hands stopped, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "I can work for you."

Thalia waited for his next words: "Lars said he would train me himself, and I would reciprocate and help him train the League of Assassins. But after Jason Todd woke up, let him follow Damian."

Thalia sneered: "Just you? What can you teach the alliance?"

Nemo also smiled at her: "Poison."

Talia wanted to laugh at her again, but suddenly found that she couldn't move, and her vocal cords couldn't make any more sound.

Her eyes became sharp and dangerous.Nemo walked up to him in a leisurely manner, took out a Bock knife and placed it lightly on Talia's neck.

"This is already my biggest concession. Before the agreement between Lars and me is over, I hope you can control those wastes in the league who don't have eyes and insist on provoking me. If Jason loses a hair, I will With one hand, if Jason bleeds a drop of blood, I will drain all the blood from their bodies."

Thalia is currently unable to speak, and can only show him that the terms of exchange are valid with his eyes.

He took out the test tube of the newly made potion and put it under Thalia's nose for him to sniff.Women are finally slowly regaining control of their bodies and voices.

The first time she regained her strength, she put on an oxygen mask for herself, then grabbed Nemo by the neck and pushed him against the wall: "Ulysses, this is the first and last time. If you poison me again in the future, I'll kill you, I don't care about my father's plan, without him, I can still rule the Assassin League."

Nemo shrugged in agreement, "Okay."

Thalia let go of him, didn't want to talk to him any more, turned around and wanted to leave.

"One more thing," Nemo said to her behind him.

Thalia rested her palm on the doorknob, waiting for him to speak.

"Talia, I can also be loyal to you, pick some tasks in your hand, I am interested in participating. Even when you and Lars disagree, stand behind you. This will become our two secret."

Thalia turned around, folded her arms, and looked at Nemo carefully.

"State your terms."

"I know that you have contact with a mysterious group of people. My condition is that Jason Todd can't visit the Lazarus Pond. You send him there."

Thalia lowered her arms and stared dangerously at Nemo: "How do you know about Lazarus Pool?"

"I think Lars should have told you that I am a magician. Magicians naturally have channels for magicians. I not only know Lazarus Pond, but also its origin and how to make it dry. If you want to control the assassin Alliance, the best way is to wait for it to dry up, so that it will not hurt the relationship between your father and daughter, nor will it hurt the relationship between you and Damian, are you right?"

It took a long time for Talia to speak again this time: "Does father know this?"

Nemo smiled: "This is a secret between the two of us."

Thalia put her palm on the doorknob again, and before she left, she said, "I will send Jason to the higher caste, and you remember your promise."

Nemo cast his eyes on his workbench again, and began to focus on the drug experiment in his hand.

"Of course." He said softly.

I will not let go of any of those ugly, unclean sins.
