"Cheryl, the child is important. You should go home immediately and take Gemma to Gotham Cathedral. I will help you find John first, and I will meet you at the church later."
After telling Sister Kang to send her away, Harley immediately took out her cell phone and dialed the "Paradise Mountain Hotline".
"Hey, Richie, do you know where Constantine is? His father passed away the night before yesterday, and his sister called him back to attend the funeral."
"His father passed away? There was no news before..." Richie said hesitantly.
"What news do you want? A seventy-year-old man goes to the hospital every now and then. It doesn't matter when he leaves." Harley said disapprovingly.
"I sent John to the hospital." Rich's voice was filled with embarrassment and guilt.
"Uh, what's going on?"
"I forced myself into the Crusade headquarters for that bastard and destroyed my body. What did he do to me? He pulled out my wires! Shouldn't I take revenge and go back?" Richie said excitedly.
"What did you do?" Harley asked.
"That guy was so cautious that he didn't even use a Nokia, let alone the Internet. It took me a long time to find his location.
Then, I unplugged his cord too.
When he was crossing the road, the traffic light failed and he was hit by a car, breaking two legs and one hand.
I just wanted to punish him for being unloyal, but I didn’t expect that his father passed away at this time and I never saw him for the last time." Rich said in a complicated tone.
"Which hospital is he in? Send him a message, you can't miss the funeral.
In addition, no matter what you do next time in the world, except visiting your children, wife and mother, you must report to me first."
At the end of the sentence, Harley's tone gradually became harsh.
"Oh, I understand..." Ricino said.
Harry took the Archimedes airship and arrived at the cathedral an hour earlier than Sister Kang.
In the ashram, she unexpectedly saw Christine praying devoutly to Our Lady.
Well, it's the "right foot of the Holy Light" that was dragged into hell earlier and steamed and gnawed off by the devil.
"Today is not the weekend, nor is it time to get off work. What are you doing here? You are still wearing a nun's uniform." Harley asked curiously.
"Ah, Miss Quinn," Christine quickly saluted her respectfully, "I changed my job and am not as busy as I was at the National Bank. I have a lot of free time, so I came here to do volunteer work.
Well, sometimes they also provide free exorcism services to citizens who are in trouble.”
Harry glanced at her right foot, which was wearing low-heeled black leather shoes and white socks. It looked no different from ordinary people, but it could kick an ordinary devil to death...
"If you have free time at work, you won't be able to make much money. Are you and your fiancé still together?"
In the beginning, Christine refused to give Gypsy Black Witch a third repayment extension in order to get a promotion and a salary increase to match her fiancé's family background.
"I help the Dalton family (her boyfriend's family) manage the charity fund, and my income is not low. We got married in the new year, in this church, and Father Carlisle has agreed to officiate our wedding.
It would be a great honor for Miss Quinn to come here." Christine said with a happy face.
"Well, it depends on the time. I may take a long trip in a few days."
Afterwards, Harley asked Sheng Guang in detail how he felt about his right foot.
She didn't let Kristine leave until Carlisle came over.
"The Holy Light's right foot seems to be continuing to strengthen her physique." Harley said thoughtfully.
"Is this strange? The Holy Light comes from the Archangel Zauliel, and his power is more powerful than most gods." Carlisle said matter-of-factly.
Harley said: "I have a friend, Reina, whose calf was broken by Zod that day. I am hesitating about what kind of leg to replace for her."
"Did you send her to Quinn Biological Laboratory?" Carlisle asked doubtfully.
"Currently, the earth's technology for regenerating severed limbs is not yet mature, but with the help of magic, it is possible to replant severed limbs or fuse cells," Harley said.
Carlisle's heart moved, "Are you going to give Reina a magic leg?"
"Anyway, if you want to change legs, of course you have to choose the strongest one. Genetic adjustment is being carried out now, so it depends on her own choice. Relatively speaking, the Holy Light Leg has the lowest side effects."
The two didn't chat for long before Sister Kang walked over quickly holding Gemma who looked gloomy.
"When I went back, I found that she was awake, but listless and in worse condition than before going to bed.
Miss Quinn, show her what's going on." Sister Kang said anxiously.
"My dear, it's Mr. Constantine!"
As soon as Gemma entered the door, Carlisle's expression changed slightly. After getting closer, he finally exclaimed: "It's not a devil, your father's ghost is wandering in the world and has set its sights on little Gemma, hanging on her back like a garter bear.
.”
"What, my father?!" Sister Kang was shocked, "Why doesn't he want to go to heaven?"
Harry opened his mouth and almost complained: Can he go?
She did not have a natural spiritual eye, nor did she develop a magical spiritual eye. She could only rely on her mental power to detect that Gemma was surrounded by a group of evil spirits with no malicious intent.
Well, although Dad Kang pestered his granddaughter, it probably wasn't his original intention.
"He didn't mean any harm, otherwise Gemma would have gone insane," Harry said.
Carlisle nodded, "Indeed, Mr. Constantine's expression... is one of numb pain.
He seems to be suffering from black magic and cannot leave this world.
Harley, do you feel it?
The breath of black magic is very weak, but it seems to penetrate deep into his soul."
Harley's thoughts moved slightly, and the Duke of Paradise Mountain's armor "clicked" covering the body... The whole process was very similar to Iron Man activating the nano-steel suit.
The Holy Light Armor allows her to see clearly the life of her soul.
She saw old Constantine.
He was like a monkey trapped in a cage, withered, thin, ugly and disgusting.
He was naked, as if he had just crawled out of a funeral home freezer, with an identification tag still tied to his thumb.
His expression was numb, but pain, confusion and frustration were solidified on his face.
There is always just this complicated expression.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh." The holy clothes were shining brightly, and ordinary people would only feel comfortable and peaceful, but Kang Dad's whole body was filled with black gas, like a pile of dried shit fried in a hot pot.
Dad Kang is going to hell!
Harley and Carlisle looked at each other and confirmed this conclusion, but neither one said it in front of Sister Kang.
"It's black magic. It's not complicated. Just find the caster and kill it." Harley said.
"Who used black magic to harm my father? It must have been John who caused the trouble again!" Sister Kang said angrily.
"It's probably to attract John to show up. He's been busy with something big recently, and many people want to find him." Harley guessed.
The winter solstice is coming soon, and it’s almost time to implement whatever plans Zha Kang has.
Moreover, no matter what his plan is, it is impossible to please both heaven and hell at the same time.
The interests of the two sides are opposed. Whichever side Zha Kang takes, the other side will be attacked.
To deal with him, you must first force him to show up.
"What's the big deal? Where is he now? I shouldn't have dissuaded him in the first place. I just asked my father to break his legs for secretly drawing the pentagram. Now there won't be so many things happening." Sister Kang asked excitedly.
"He has broken his leg..." Harley complained, and then explained: "I don't know what he is up to, because I don't want to get involved in those bad things.
Just now, after you left the manor, I found his admission record at Eldford Public Hospital in London.
He accidentally crossed the road and was hit by a car more than ten meters away at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. Both of his legs were broken."
"Ah" Sister Kang, who had gritted her teeth before, immediately showed a worried look and asked eagerly: "Is anyone taking care of him? How is he now?"
"Chas is in London and went to visit him."
In fact, Richie locked the position of Zhacon through Chas.
The "Constantine Squad" back then had used its information advantage to ambush the wizard group countless times. Zha Kang was very alert and had the ability to resist tracking.
"He is a mage. He was injured a week ago and has left the hospital at this time. I called Chas and he promised to get the message through."
"What should Gemma and my father do now?" Sister Kang asked.
"Carlisle, try using normal exorcism techniques to get the old man back to where he belongs," said Harry.
The priest held up the "Book of Light" with his left hand and recited the magic mantra in his mouth. The pages of the book moved automatically without any wind, "Clatter!"
"In the name of the Holy Father, the divine light obeys my command and drives away the filth from innocent people!"
A small and exquisite golden phoenix rushed out of the pages of the magic book. With a clear cry, it rushed into Jima's forehead.
In an instant, Jima's skin and muscles became transparent, and the holy light filled the prayer room.
"Ouch~" Dad Kang wailed like cotton wool in the fire, turning into ashes.
Well, the black mist on the body of the undead disappeared in the holy light, leaving only the ethereal and transparent soul.
The holy light spread from Jima's body like ocean waves, forcefully pushing Kang's illusory spirit body far away.
"Huh." Carlisle breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "At least Gemma doesn't have to suffer anymore."
Seeing the splendid magic effect and confirming that her daughter's face quickly became rosy and full of vitality, Sister Kang said happily: "My father went to heaven?"
"Well, he hasn't left yet, I'll see him off." Carlisle said vaguely.
"Rest in peace, you who are dead, for the light of our Lord Jehovah will carry you to the kingdom of death."
The soft holy light was like an endless breeze, swirling around Dad Kang's soul.
Gradually, a whirlpool of light visible to the naked eye appeared in the prayer room.
"No, he seems to be rooted in the world of the living, and he can't be sent away no matter how hard he tries."
Harry's thoughts were united, and the mental power that fell on Kang's father's soul was unprecedentedly sharp...
"Ah, he's not dead at all!" She said in surprise: "I sensed a faint breath of living people in the fluctuations of his soul. It's such a weird black magic."
"So that's it, 'Return of the Dead' can only have an effect on the dead."
Gemma stayed at the church for the next two days and did not come home.
Because wherever she goes, her grandfather's soul follows her unconsciously.
Sister Kang said that Dad Kang loved Gemma the most when he was alive.
Getting closer to Gemma seemed to relieve him of some pain.
This is not surprising. Like Zha Kang, Gemma is born with spiritual eyes and has a powerful talent as a witch.
On the third day, Constantine rushed to Gotham with a dusty bag covered in mud.
He had an unkempt beard, a wrinkled windbreaker, a cigarette in his mouth, and a sour smell on his body. His image and condition were both very bad.
"Why did it take so long?" Harry frowned.
Two days ago, Zha Kang called to ask about Gemma's situation.
He was in London at the time, a few hours' flight across the Atlantic.
"I originally planned to rush over immediately..." Constantine hesitated for a moment and shook the bag in front of her. "After hearing you tell me about Gemma and my father's situation, I went back to my hometown in Liverpool.
It was dug out from under my mother's tombstone."
"What is it?" Harley asked curiously.
"a cat."
Constantine attended the final burial ceremony, and after all the guests had left, he sent away his sister and brother-in-law, leaving Gemma alone with Daddy Kang who was following Gemma.
"Sorry." Constantine spit out the cigarette butt, then took out the cigarette case and lighter, lit another one for himself, and looked at his father with a complex expression. He was born with spiritual eyes.
Kang's father showed no reaction and looked numb.
Zha Kang sighed and took out the bag he brought from Liverpool.
The bag is not the point.
With a complicated look on his face, Zha Kang took out a glass bottle stained with mud.
The yellow liquid in the bottle was filled with a cat.
The moment she saw the cat, Harley exclaimed: "It's you, you killed your father!"
