The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

A long time ago, my teacher once told me that the initial reason for his entanglement with me came from my gaze, or more specifically - my choice. When I became interested in him, he became The Joker, and the Joker is doomed to be entangled with Batman.

As the teaching continued to deepen, more information appeared in his few words. The entanglement between Batman and the Joker seems to be the fate that this world has woven for these two people. No one can break it. Its priority is almost Above everything that happens in this world.

Later, I learned that the states of the Joker and Batman complement each other. Their madness is like plants that have been entangled and grown together since the seedling stage. They have long been connected by blood and cannot be separated.

It follows from that that the stronger Batman is, the stronger the Joker is, and I've experienced that firsthand.

When I desperately pursued strength and wanted to save Gotham, whether it was the clown in my teacher or another clown in Gotham, they were all crazy and reckless.

But when I gradually let go of all this and pursued my own life, I found that the madness in their bodies that had made me despair seemed to heal itself. Even though there were still some morbid thoughts left, it was more like philosopher and artist.

So, I came up with some other ideas.

Standing on the highest point of the roof of Westminster Abbey overlooking London, Bruce heard the maniacal laughter and the screams of vampires from below, and he continued to Beelzebub in his head.

Known: First, there are ways I can turn other people into Jokers; second, the stronger the Joker, the stronger Batman.

Then is there a possibility--I will find a person who is strong enough to turn him into a clown, and the clown becomes stronger, so I will become stronger. If I become stronger, I can find another person who is stronger, and then I will turn him into a clown. Turn him into a clown, the clown is stronger, and I am stronger, and then I will go...

ah?

When this idea appeared in my mind, it was just a preliminary plan. There were many problems in practice, but I still summed up many laws that should work through my previous experience.

First, I must first find the target and have some entanglement with him. I look at him, and he looks at me. I attract his attention, and he also attracts my attention.

But I'm not entirely convinced that this entanglement of fate is biased towards philosophical and metaphysical concepts, and I think there may be a more direct way to achieve this transformation.

The other day, someone drew my blood, but a powerful being he invited didn't dare to drink it. It wasn't disgust, but pure fear. He emphasized that I was special, and anyone who drank my blood would drink it. People with blood will have an incomprehensible bond with me, I think this will be my means of implementing the plan.

The method of implementation is already there, and the next step is to choose the target, but for a long time, I have not had a suitable target, because I don't think anyone in ordinary society is stronger than me, even if in some respects. For me, the improvement that I can bring is far from worth my effort.

Until my teacher led me to see the magic world. I used to know about it, but most of my eyes focused on magicians like Constantine. I didn't have any interest in borrowing money from demon gods, so I didn't focus on understanding the magic world. The presence.

Later, I read many books introducing creatures in the magical world, historical books on the magical world, and theological books at the Forgotten Bookstore, and then I discovered that the powerful demons and angels recorded in the Bible are real.

But demons and angels are not good targets. Demons prefer to play with human souls, and angels are even less likely to drink human blood. But in the process of selecting targets through reading classics, I noticed that there is a type of creature that is simply The perfect target, that's a vampire.

They are born to feed on human blood. They don't need any deception at all. They will suck my blood. So, when I was in the Forgotten Bookstore, I asked Constantine to help me find a vampire. I wanted to see if he could will be transformed by me.

But at this time, there was turmoil in the magic world, and it coincided with the large-scale return of vampires. I heard the news that Cain, the ancestor of the blood race, appeared, and I learned about him from the Bible and many other classics that record the past events of the Garden of Eden. identity and behavioral patterns.”

Bruce sighed softly and said, No one has ever chosen Cain firmly. This is his greatest weakness.

In the Garden of Eden, God, Adam and Eve all liked Abel more. When he was expelled from the Garden of Eden and came to the Red Sea, even Lilith, who had a grudge against Adam, did not choose him, and he could only leave in the end.

People who lack affirmation and admiration in the growth process will develop a psychology of fear of others' admiration. When encountering the unwavering affirmation and choice of others, the first thing to appear is hesitant suspicion. Driven by this psychology , you will worry about gains and losses and lose your mind.”

The plan is going well. Bruce looked at the ray of light on the distant skyline, and said: Now the plan is half successful, and Cain has been turned into a clown by me. Next, we need to observe the dynamics between me and the clown. How the strength is achieved.

Since Gabriel dared to send someone to your bar to provoke you, it proves that he is not afraid of being discovered by you. In the palace of Hell Satan, Constantine leaned on the side of the throne and said to Lucifer: Or, He bet you won't find him.

Lucifer frowned slightly and said, It's not like you don't know. If I really want to know where he is, I don't need Azazel to investigate.

Of course, His Majesty Lucifer, who is all-knowing and omnipotent, doesn't need to investigate anything if he wants to know, but if you fly directly to catch him, it will make him feel proud. Constantine snorted coldly and said, You are the light of the beginning, God's most beloved son, you are different from other angels, especially Gabriel.

It can be said that you are not even a kind of creature. Among all the angels, God only values ​​you. Taking a step back, only Michael can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. If you are with the little follower who has been following you two Gabriel cares about it himself, he can wake up from his dreams with a smile.

Lucifer pursed his lips and remained silent, but Constantine pointed out very bluntly: He predicted that your greatest weakness is arrogance, even if he sends mortals to harass you, almost step on your head to dance, you can't be yourself. Lower your status and run up to him and get mad at him.

You have never looked down on any angel, whether it is Michael, Gabriel, Raphael or Uriel, you have never looked down upon it, since you have not fallen into heaven, because you know, God is the God of others, but only your Father.

Enough. Lucifer interrupted Constantine, but there was not much anger in his tone. He just sighed and said, Don't mention those old things, anyway, I won't let Gabriel get what he wants.

He stood up from the throne and walked down the stairs, his voice echoing in the empty palace.

The war between heaven and hell has no meaning. I just pursue freedom outside of love, and I will be entangled in thousands of years of trivial wars. If the first battle of falling into heaven is my choice The price, then what is the second war for? It can’t be revenge against God, right?”

Don't you hate God?

It's not hate, it's just that it's hard to understand the way he loves me, so I plan to avoid talking about it and try to be quiet.

You can have such leeway because you know that he loves you and that he will choose you no matter what, so you can spend as much as you want, don't care, and don't even give emotions such as hatred.

Constantine's Adam's apple moved, his tone was lowered, and he said: You are favored, so you will never understand how crazy those who are forgotten in the corner can do in order to find a sense of existence. like I went to hell and never looked back.

Do you think I should put up with Gabriel?

Of course not, although I will tell you that if you turn a blind eye to him, he will feel very painful, but I still hope that you can pierce his unrealistic fantasy, which is good for heaven, hell or the world.

Lucifer turned to look at Constantine and said, Then what do you think I should do?

It's useless to simply find him and beat him up, or even seal him up, he will only provoke you again and again to find a sense of existence, and the more everyone pays attention to him, the crazier he will be, even if Rebuked by God, he can only be ecstatic, because he is finally valued.

But you can't do nothing, otherwise he will confuse heaven, hell and the world one day sooner or later. As for what to do to make him give up completely...I can only suggest you to ask Schiller.

Lucifer's expression froze, and the expression on his face could be described as Is your map of Yan Kingdom a bit too short?

You know better than I how Schiller has mastered how to break a man's psychological defenses, but he will make you pay too.

Lucifer stood still and gritted his teeth. After a while, he turned around and walked outside the palace, while Constantine sighed and said.

You'd rather go to Schiller than lower your body and beat Gabriel up. I can only say that you brought on your own misfortune, your arrogance.

After Lucifer left, Azazel took Constantine back to his palace. Satan didn't express his opinion, and Azazel didn't torture Constantine anymore, but just found a room in the palace and threw him away. went in.

Constantine lay on the bed for a while, and just as he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he heard a cry ringing in his ears.

Wake up! Wake up! John Constantine, wake up!

As soon as Constantine opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful dark-skinned girl shaking him constantly. He thought he was dreaming, so he muttered a few words casually, and wanted to turn over and continue to sleep.

Wake up quickly, I am Midnight's sister Luna, something serious happened!

Constantine woke up suddenly, looked at the girl in front of him and said, Midnight? Father Midnight? What's wrong with him?

Today is my birthday. He came to see me just now and said that Constantine fell into his hands in the end, but I clearly saw you in the palace a few days ago...Are you really John Constantine?

Of course I am Constantine.

Strange, then who is that my brother said? The dark-skinned girl showed a puzzled face, but still sighed, shook her head and planned to leave.

But Constantine grabbed her wrist, stared at her and said, Are you sure your brother said he saw me in the human world?

Yes, he said that a vampire was chasing you. You were injured and had to flee to Papa Midnight's Bar. He saved you.

Constantine opened his eyes slightly, and said in a dazed way: It's black under the lights...you really belong to me, Gabriel!

He sighed again and said, But you prevented Schiller from getting my heart back, Gabriel, your cleverness is mistaken by your cleverness, I'm afraid you will really be in trouble.

On the other side, in Father Midnight's bar, Midnight, who got the news from his sister, hurried back to his own bar, but there was nothing in the guest room on the second floor except a puddle of blood. disappeared.

Gritting his teeth, Midnight cursed, of course Lucifer and Azazel would not mistake Constantine, so it is only possible that this one in the real world is fake, realizing that he was being tricked, Midnight walked to the middle of the room , and chanted a spell at the pool of blood.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and there was a sound of opening the door. Midnight looked back and saw a man in a dark red checkered suit standing outside the door, followed by a very strong young man.

Hello, I'm looking for Constantine, and I chased him here.

In the middle of the night, he was filled with anger. Just as he was about to explode, he met the man's barren gray eyes. Years of experience and intuition among all kinds of people made his aggressive words turn on the tip of his tongue, and they were swallowed again. go back.

You are late, he has already run away.

Is it Constantine who ran away?

Midnight immediately narrowed his eyes, turned to look at the uninvited guest, and then heard him say: You can do magic, see who controls his corpse, I will find him, the body belongs to me, and the soul belongs to you.

Midnight turned his head to look at the scene in the room, and knew that he had no choice. If the guy who played tricks on him released the news, his prestige would be greatly affected, and he had to be chased back as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Midnight no longer hesitated, he recited the spell faster and faster, a flash of light rose from the blood in an instant, Midnight's pupils shrank suddenly, and he exclaimed a name.

Gabriel??!!!

Schiller frowned fiercely.
