[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

A brief summary of the conclusion: overturned.

From the day when V came to entrust the mission to the agreed date to go to Red Tomb City together, about ten days was enough time for Jason to understand the world from intermittent conversations, about demons and demon hunters—especially about The legendary demon hunter, Dante, the son of Sparta.

Here, the human world and the demon world were not clearly separated from the beginning, and each lived a life where the well water did not interfere with the river water.

It is said that when the world was born, humans and demons respectively symbolized the power of light and darkness, and the two kingdoms should be traced back to one body.So one day, the emperor of the demon world declared: "Since the two worlds are essentially one, why not let them be unified again?"

So the darkness began to swallow the light, and the weak human beings could not resist the power of the demon until the man—no, the demon appeared.

The magic swordsman Sparda, obviously a demon, stood on the side of human beings against his compatriots.He defeated the Demon Emperor, and completely separated the human world from the demon world, sealing the passage between the two worlds.

This is a story from 2000 years ago.

No one knows the whereabouts of Sparta. 2000 years is too long for human beings, enough to make many things become legends. Among them is such a saying that Sparta fell in love with a human woman and had a relationship with her. Offspring are left behind.

The children's names are Dante and Virgil.

As far as the origin of the hero is concerned, Dante's story is very cool, and it also explains why their family has such a bloody tradition.

Then again, since the brothers had a conflict, then this commission should be resolved.

Jason thought back to the family and ethics drama that was staged from time to time in the Batcave, and felt full of confidence.

***

It was about the same day that V came to DevilMayCry. A strange thing grew out of nowhere in Red Tomb City. At first glance, you would think it was a tree, but if you look closely, you will find that this "tree" has no branches and leaves. , and grow straight into the sky in a spiral growth mode, before entering the urban area, you can see the canopy like a floating platform from a distance from the periphery.

Jason was suddenly a little rejoiced that the demon tree in his hometown had been chopped up by him as firewood, and that this ghost thing could grow into a terrible shape, which was completely beyond his original imagination.

"So, where is our evil boss?" Dante stared up at the canopy of the evil tree, and had to squint his eyes because of the sunlight, "It doesn't look like there is a demon invasion here. "

"Temporarily yes." V is still the same as when they first met, leaning on a cane, speaking with cadences like reciting poems, I don't know what he has been doing during this period, he looks sick and crooked It still hasn't improved at all, "This is our chance, before this demon fully wakes up... once and for all... solve this problem."

Letty and Tracy's distrust of V was clearly written on their faces, and they didn't know whether it was because of the other's appearance or because of his mysterious and secretive style.As a hitchhiker, Jason didn't have much opinion of V, he was curious, but his first task was to get as close as possible to the "tree of evil" and find an opportunity to return to the original world.

Dante completely ignored the turbulent undercurrent between the two partners and V, as well as the surrounding people who were either bowing to the tree of evil, or holding up their cameras to record the spectacle, and walked towards the thick trunk on his own: "The one who gave the money It's the boss, you have the final say."

Leti and Tracy simply followed Dante's footsteps, and the three of them met the target of this commission in the formation of "Pin".

V, who was at the back of the line, looked at Dante's back. In Jason's eyes, every movement and every look V made in front of Dante during the two meetings was not like an ordinary client facing a trustee. It's just that these details will always be covered up by V's poetic demeanor, and the three demon hunters' minds are on the mission target. To them, V is just a slightly weird client who met by chance.

"Aren't you going with them?" Raising his cane, pointing the tip of the stick at the backs of Dante and the others who were almost out of sight, V turned around and tilted his head at Jason, as if evaluating him.

Jason shook his head, and asked in turn, "What about you?" He just finished speaking, as if he suddenly realized something, and quickly added: "Oh, yes, you are the client, and you don't need to go with me."

V half-closed his eyes, retracted his cane and began to walk towards the tree of evil: "Of course I'm going, after all, the 'client' has to confirm whether the work is actually done, isn't it?"

"Maybe under normal circumstances." Jason followed up spontaneously, adjusting his pace so that he was just one step behind V. Although this client seemed weak, Jason didn't intend to let him have any opportunities behind him. , "But this is not an incident related to demons, shouldn't it be handed over to professional demon hunters? Or, do you know this evil tree very well, better than Dante and the others?"

"It sounds like you don't classify yourself as a demon hunter?" This time, V looked over with a look of surprise in his eyes. After receiving Jason's affirmative answer, the poet said slowly: "'The naked eye is only See what the mind is ready to understand', so it says in the book."

That sounded like a sarcasm, meaning that Jason couldn't understand the devil thing, so he could only see a narrow point of view.

"Then explain it to me." Jason put his hands on the back of his neck and squeezed the tense muscles, "'True wisdom is to understand one's ignorance.' It's said in the book."

"Wow! V! Look what you found, another bookworm!" With the sound of hula hula flapping its wings, a talking bird hovered and landed on V Ping's outstretched arm, "By the way, I will remind you Wake up, the situation ahead is not very good, you and the bookworm are ready!"

As if it was simply to report the news, the huge bird flapped its wings and flew into the air again.

"That's Griffin, I asked him to go ahead to check the situation first." Withdrawing his arm, V's expression was a little dignified for a moment, but soon returned to that calm expression, "So, you want to know About the 'Evil Tree' thing."

"Yeah, I don't really have any idea about it. I don't know anything about it except that it would mean a catastrophe if it grows up. What kind of ability does it have? For example, to connect different worlds?"

"It is a plant from the Demon Realm. Even so, it took root long before the concept of the Demon Realm existed. When it gets enough nutrients, it will bear fruit—the process of fruiting is very long, thousands of years There's probably only one chance."

"It means that this fruit contains... energy (energy) accumulated for thousands of years?"

"I would think 'power' is a more accurate word." When V said the word, there was a blink of an eye, looking like he was haunted, "Even the former emperor of the Demon Realm , it was also because of eating the fruit that he unified the Demon World and became the Demon Emperor."

"So it's not about stopping some powerful demon from reviving, it's about stopping someone from getting fruit, and you entrust Dante because he's the one most likely to stop your own brother—don't look at me that way, though A hitchhiker, I have lived under Dante’s roof for several days anyway, so it’s not too much to piece together some information.”

"I can only hope so." V lowered his head and quickened his pace. The backs of Dante and the other three came into view again, "As for what you asked about, the power to travel through different worlds. As far as I know, trees are just for The shell that breeds the fruit, and the fruit has never been described to have such power, but these records are left over 2000 years ago, maybe... you can make some new discoveries, as long as you have a way to get out of it."

"Thank you for your reminder." Jason patted his chest, "I also have one or two good cards hidden in my sleeve and haven't played yet."

The next journey was much smoother than expected. A group of five people walked into the tree trunk. As V said, the "tree" is just a shell, full of blood and rot inside - if this tree Considering that it has been sealed for 2000 years, it is not incomprehensible that the residue that has been accumulated for such a long time will have such an unappetizing smell.

"You know, as soon as I stepped in, I kind of believed that the big devil was Dante's brother." Jason rubbed his nose, which was almost insensitive to the smell, trying to calm down the increasingly oppressive atmosphere around V. , "Compared with the messiness of Dante's office, I don't even know who should win. As expected of brothers, they are equally not picky about the quality of life."

"I think there must be some misunderstanding here." Hesitating, V held back such a sentence that he couldn't understand his position.

Jason thought about Dick's apartment in Bloomhaven. When the food cabinet is opened, you can go directly to the supermarket to put a cereal counter. It must not be checked under the bed, and you must jump out of it within three seconds after opening it to avoid being rushed out of it. stuff crushed the closet.

I believe there is no misunderstanding here.

"Creatures like my brother are all equally messy." Jason said, and the image of Ah Fu's sad hope that Dick would learn from Jason how to organize his personal space appeared in his mind, and he added, "Then they will still do it because of this." I became angry from embarrassment, and felt that the clean and tidy younger brother stole the love of the adults, and they were the ones who were not talking about it. V, are you okay? Your face looks so bad."

"Yeah, what's going to happen next may be too exciting for you, and it's okay if you plan to leave us first." I don't know how much I have listened to the conversation between Jason and V, but the one who was ahead Ding suddenly turned around and suggested so.

And V took the ladder handed over by Dante very smoothly, and left with the shocked expressions of everyone except Dante. Before he left, he even asked Jason if he wanted to come with him.

Of course Jason didn't leave with V, he still planned to investigate the tree up and down—until he witnessed a fight between gods.

Leti and Tracy fell first, and Dante was still fighting the "devil king" who looked like a giant on the throne.

"Dante, do you misunderstand the word 'twins'?" Jason shot away the tentacles that would entangle him from time to time. At his feet was the unconscious Letty, facing directly in front of him. shouted in the air, Dante must have heard it anyway, "Or do you want to tell me that you can also transform into a tentacle demon?"

"My brother was poisoned by throwing tiles, and his brain is not very good. Who knows what kind of demon moth he has made." Dante rushed forward and swung his sword to chop the tentacles into countless pieces. He turned into a red demon while sprinting forward. He fought fiercely with his brother who had never left the throne, and who didn't look alike at all, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dante was just trying to hold on.

There is no such thing as fleeing in the Bat family's dictionary, only a strategic retreat. Jason can also see that he will not even have a chance to retreat if he drags on, so he plans to drag Letty away immediately.

"Go, kid." Dante didn't look back at all, but somehow saw through his intentions, "Don't try to save people, or you won't even be able to leave!"

At this moment, Jason really hopes that he has learned the move of Dr. Strange drawing a circle to open any door. At least he can send the two ladies to a safe place in the first place. The magic of the mirror dimension is only used here. It will lock Dante and his devil brother together, and Jason has no doubt that if the enemy and teammates are really thrown into the small black room together, the one who comes out will definitely not be a teammate.

Even if Nero with a broken arm appeared as the rescuer brought by V, there was no way to turn the situation around. The enemy ignored them at all, and sat firmly on the throne from the beginning to the end, relying on a few tentacles. The light cannon formed by magic power beat them like three salted fish.

Facts have proved that vibrating gold is not invincible. The two pointed cat ear protrusions on the hood were knocked off in some conflict, but Jason didn't have the slightest pleasure of getting what he wanted.

A legendary demon hunter Dante who made countless demons burst into tears, plus a demon hunter Nero who was so angry that he lost his mind and would have rushed to tear his father with blood on his face if he hadn't been caught by V.

The head mask master who has traveled through countless universes and saved many broken families looked at the tragic car rollover scene in front of him, and instantly understood the look on his face every time dear Dr. Leslie visited their bat house What happened to the unrequited expression.

This kind of patients who don't cooperate with the master's course of treatment should be taken out and fed to Karason!
