However, it was always others who owed him favors to Constantine. He did not expect that Constantine would also owe others favors.
Constantine sighed in his heart, then secretly glanced at Bruce and Xia Yu in front of him, and once again praised his wit.
A playboy who is interested in magic, and a playboy who can be friends with a playboy even though he cannot see through it and has some special abilities, is not much smarter even if you think about it.
The favors owed to them will probably be repaid soon, and maybe they will be able to owe themselves a favor in return.
Constantine loved making friends and helping others the most.
Of course, when you are in danger, you seek help from your friends and ask them to return the favor without mercy, even if your friends pay the price with their lives.
Suppressing the thoughts that emerged in his heart, Constantine showed a sincere smile again.
"Now that you have decided, let's take action."
Constantine clapped his hands on the table, looked at the people in front of him with a confident smile and said.
When solving problems in the past, he usually acted as a leader and led others to solve difficult problems that could not be judged.
Of course, as a leader, you can't get into danger, so it's okay to let them find the way for themselves.
"Bruce, you have the power and money. You can use the money to recruit people to explore Los Angeles. Although ordinary people and the devil are two parallel lines, there will always be a moment when they intersect."
"As for the others, I can give you some magic props, and then you can explore the magical world. You will definitely find some clues when you explore."
Facing Constantine's proposal, Bruce shook his head and said solemnly.
"I think you seem to have misunderstood something. It was me who agreed to help, not my identity, do you understand?"
Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being a master, you are so domineering.
Xia Yu looked at Constantine's expression and suddenly thought of a possibility. He might not know that Bruce was Batman.
Getting on the line with Bruce was just to expand his connections. After all, for Constantine, connections were also a resource he often used.
At the same time, Constantine had come to his senses and cursed Bruce secretly in his heart without changing his expression. These rich people are all perverts with weird personalities.
"That……"
Constantine looked at the others. Since Bruce said so, then the others...
"They won't help. They have to stay in Wayne Manor to take care of my affairs, so I'm the only one going to Los Angeles." Bruce said solemnly.
Hearing this, Constantine's expression became a little tense. Why did he go to Bruce Wayne? It wasn't for his power!
As a result, this guy made it clear that he would not use Wayne's power, and the only one who came to help was Bruce. He is simply an idiot!
Constantine took out his cigarette case with some discomfort. Just when he was about to take a cigarette to moisten his throat, Xia Yu suddenly snatched his cigarette case.
"No smoking is allowed here." Xia Yu held the cigarette case between his fingers and shook it, "I don't want to smell your second-hand smoke and become a black lung man at a young age."
Xia Yu's words made Constantine's expression look a little ugly, because he was the black-lunged guy in Xia Yu's mouth.
Smoking all year round has caused others to suffer from lung cancer in middle age, which is the most serious form of lung cancer in the late stage.
It is precisely because he is about to die that Constantine is so anxious to investigate the conspiracy in hell, because he wants to go to heaven with this achievement.
But if we really want to say it, Constantine actually does not want to enter heaven or hell. He wants to die completely, even his soul will die.
But this is obviously impossible, so he can only choose a better place, which is heaven.
Considering that he was about to die, Constantine didn't want to restrain himself at all. When he was about to grab the cigarette box, the cigarette box held by Xia Yu suddenly burst into flames. In just a moment, the cigarette box was burned out.
This move made Constantine suddenly remember that the Asian named Xia Yu in front of him was not an ordinary person and could meet the criteria of becoming his... friend.
"Since my friend you don't like the smell of cigarettes, then I won't smoke."
Constantine had a smile on his face. He was always very tolerant of his friends, provided there was no danger.
"No, no, no, no, I'm not your friend." Xia Yu showed a disgusted expression as if he had stepped on a cockroach, "I'm not bold enough to make friends with the famous Constantine. I just said that I just want to
Just be safe and don’t ask, it’s impossible to spoil anything if you ask.”
These words made Bruce look at Constantine thoughtfully. To be so disliked by Xia Yu, I am afraid that Constantine is even worse than he imagined.
Being so disliked by Xia Yu, Constantine smiled and thought, "Why did he offend this guy from Gotham when he was obviously only active around Los Angeles?"
Constantine glanced at Bruce covertly, and when he saw that the other person's expression did not change, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the big dog didn't dislike him, it would be fine.
Worried that it would take too long and things would go wrong, Constantine hurriedly said: "In that case, let's head to Los Angeles quickly while we can still buy tickets."
In response to these words, Bruce shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I also have property in Los Angeles. When the time comes, I can just take my private jet there."
Constantine was a little dumbfounded and secretly cursed the damn rich man again.
"Afu, take Constantine to pick out one of my private jets and leave after I pack it up."
"Okay, sir."
Alfred replied with one hand on his chest, and then led Constantine away from here.
After Constantine left completely, Bruce looked at Xia Yu again without saying anything.
Seeing this, Xia Yu also tilted his head and looked at Bruce with his big innocent eyes.
"..."
After playing with big eyes and small eyes for a while, Bruce was the first to lose because his eyes couldn't hold on any longer and would burst into tears if he didn't blink.
"Alas..." Bruce sighed tiredly, and then asked, "Xia Yu, can you tell me what you know about Constantine? You obviously know him."
"Well..." Xia Yu rubbed his thumb and index finger, "The price is a bit high."
In response to these words, Bruce's expression remained unchanged, he took out a check, signed his name, and handed it to Xia Yu.
"Fill it in yourself."
"..."
Xia Yu is a bit of a muggle, but he didn't expect that the ridiculous scenes in the TV series actually happened, and he was one of the protagonists!
Xia Yu wanted to grab the check, then throw it in Bruce's face, and then cursed angrily that it's amazing how much money there is!
But...how could he not ask for money for the sake of dignity?
"Ahem, then let me tell you."
Xia Yu quickly took the check and stuffed it into his arms, then looked at Bruce seriously and said as if nothing happened.
He actually only knew a rough idea of Constantine's deeds. Although there were off-field aids, DC itself was in a mess, let alone a stitched version of him.
So Xia Yu could only choose to say it, but no matter what he said, you could hear two words in his words, that was cheating.
Listening to Xia Yu's words, Bruce also added to Constantine's personality model in his mind to make it more perfect.
After a while, Xia Yu picked up the hot water in front of him to moisten his throat and said: "This is all I know, so Constantine is a real scumbag. Even though he was so sincere just now, he is probably just..."
To lure you into a trap."
Bruce nodded. Although he could tell that Xia Yu still had something to hide, the information just given was enough.
but……
"Who are you? Xia Yu." Bruce suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Yu, "According to the information I investigated, you should have never been to Los Angeles. Why do you seem to know everything? And your strange abilities?
The recovery of Lei Xiao’s ancient thinking…”
"Well..."
Xia Yu looked at Bruce in surprise. He didn't expect that Bruce would suddenly question him now, but he was willing to ask him openly instead of making small moves in secret. Does this mean that Bruce already has some trust in him?
It's really rare, this is Batman's trust.
"you guess?"
Xia Yu chuckled, then stood up and left, leaving only Batman with a long shadow on his back.
Everyone hates the Riddler, everyone is a Riddler.
Don't tell me, don't tell me, sometimes the Riddler can really feel happy, especially when others make a bad look, the joy is doubled.
Seeing that Xia Yu left without saying anything, Bruce felt a little tired. Why couldn't he meet a normal person?
Just because he is abnormal, he cannot meet normal people.
However, although Xia Yu didn't answer anything, Bruce could confirm that this guy was harmless to Gotham, at least for the time being.
It can be regarded as a companion, but necessary precautions are still required. The opponent just showed the ability to start fire with bare hands. It seems that the fire protection ability of the armor needs to be strengthened.
There is also an ability similar to teleportation... I hope this magical journey will allow him to collect enough information to check Xia Yu.
After recovering his thoughts, Bruce determined his target and then looked at Thalia and Lei Xiaogu.
Gotham can live without Bruce, but Gotham cannot live without Batman, so he decided to let Lei Xiaogu replace him as Batman during this period.
As his former teacher, Bruce actually wanted to kill this old immortal who had no human emotions at all many times, but the oath not to kill could only let him let Lei Xiaogu go again and again.
I thought that life could only continue like this until Lei Xiaogu destroyed himself, but who would have thought that Lei Xiaogu would one day recover.
Through the conversation with Lei Xiaogu, Bruce also confirmed that this once ruthless man had truly restored his human thinking.
Of course, there is still a part of Thalia who is turning a deaf ear to this.
As for how Lei Xiaogu recovered, Lei Xiaogu kept silent every time he mentioned this. It was just now that he learned that Lei Xiaogu's recovery was also related to Xia Yu.
That's why he questioned Xia Yu just now, but the answer...
Bruce withdrew his thoughts, told Thalia and Lei Xiaogu about his plan, and then opened the secret door and went to the Batcave.
Although he is heading to Los Angeles as Bruce, he can bring some Batman props, such as the universal belt.
…
"Why haven't they come yet?"
Constantine leaned against the wall boredly, holding a cigarette in his hand. Although his cigarette was burned, he never said that he only had one pack of cigarettes.
"The master will be here soon. After all, he is the head of the Wayne family and has many things to explain." Alfred said politely, standing aside.
Regarding these words, Constantine curled his lips and took a puff of cigarette silently. As far as he knew, Bruce Wayne was the only one in the Wayne family, so what could be said about his family.
After waiting for a while, Xia Yu arrived, and not long after, Bruce, who appeared to be wearing a suit and trousers, but was fully armed underneath, also arrived.
Bruce first explained some things to his butler Alfred, then boarded his private plane and flew to Los Angeles.
Bruce Wayne, who traveled all over the world during his training, is no stranger to Los Angeles, but it is obvious that he only knows the surface of Los Angeles.
Under Constantine's explanation, a world with angels and demons gradually unfolded towards Bruce.
"God and Satan have agreed to treat the human world as a neutral zone and cannot directly interfere with human behavior. However, they can each send their own little brothers to secretly influence people's choices. Those who choose to do good can go to heaven after death, and those who choose to do evil will fall.
After entering hell, both parties will bet on the card table with human souls to determine the final ownership of this middle ground."
"But orthodox angels and demons cannot freely enter and exit the human world, because there are barriers in the human world, so those little brothers in heaven and hell need to use human bodies to move around, and we call these little brothers hybrids because they are not pure
Humans and angels are hybrid angels, and demons are hybrid demons.”
Regarding Constantine's explanation, Bruce raised a question.
"So the evil and good people appear because of their power?"
"No, no, no." Constantine shook his head, "Although hybrids have powerful power, according to the rules, they can only influence human minds by whispering. This is true for both good and evil, so in the end they still have to
It depends on humans' own choice, and hybrids cannot be killed directly, they can only be expelled back to their original place."
Hearing this, Bruce was a little worried. Angels and devils cannot be killed, so what if these two are eyeing Gotham?
His vow not to kill only targeted humans, not aliens and other races, so Bruce was already thinking about how to kill angels and devils.
"Of course, hybrids that have been in the human world for a long time are often assimilated by humans, and they also have seven emotions and six desires. Therefore, hybrid angels and hybrid demons are often not as hostile as people imagine, but more like athletes competing fiercely with each other.
"Athletes understand, right?" Constantine gestured with joy.
"The human soul is the gold medal, and they are athletes who want to win the gold medal. They compete with each other, but there is no life-and-death hatred. Some angels and demons will develop cross-class feelings because they also have seven emotions and six desires."
"Then how do you identify angels and demons mixed in the world?" Bruce asked.
"It's simple, as long as they use power, the hybrid angel's eyes will turn golden, and the hybrid devil's eyes will turn red."
Bruce silently wrote down this piece of information and recalled Gotham.
In the years since he debuted as Batman, no one with special eye colors has appeared in Gotham, so there are no angels or demons in Gotham?
Don't let your guard down and investigate again when you get back. The angels can stay temporarily, but the demons must be expelled.
Xia Yu, who had been silent on the other side, was lost in thought. Angels have golden eyes and demons have red eyes. So what is his red eye that uses the power of holy light? A hybrid among hybrids?
However, the source of his holy light is not a real angel. Moreover, he is a human being and is not the younger brother of heaven and hell, so there is no need to involve himself.
I don't know if I can get the real angel power in this trip, and the Spear of Longinus in Gabriel's hand, which is a real artifact.
Hmm... That thing seems to really have the power of destiny, so I'd better not give it up to avoid being deceived.
A few hours later, the private plane arrived at Wayne Enterprises in Los Angeles.
Because Bruce had promised to keep a low profile in advance, only a few people knew about Bruce Wayne's arrival in Los Angeles.
After exiting the gate of Wayne Enterprises, Constantine glanced at the Wayne Tower behind him with some regret.
If he had the support of Wayne Enterprises, he wouldn't need to be in danger now. It's a pity that the head of the Wayne family is not very smart.
But after all, he is the head of the Wayne family, and Constantine doesn't believe that Bruce Wayne doesn't bring any security forces. As long as Bruce Wayne is safe, he must be safe too.
"Hey, let's go, I'll take you to see our world."
Constantine chuckled, then took out his cell phone and called his driver and apprentice.
Not long after, an old yellow car appeared in front of the three of them, and an innocent young man stuck his head in and said.
"Are you the helpers Constantine found? Hello, my name is Kramer, Chas Kramer."
Bruce nodded silently, while Xia Yu looked at this young man curiously. This Chas has always been controversial in the film.
Because at the end of the film, he was killed by Gabriel, but in the easter egg of the film, he was resurrected as an angel and spread his wings to fly high into the sky.
Therefore, many people believe that Chas Kramer was a hybrid angel from the beginning, secretly sent by God to be beside Constantine to guide him on the right path.
But based on his performance in the film, Chas seems to have always been a mortal, and real hybrids cannot be killed and can only be sent away, so it is possible that Chas was upgraded to an angel by God after his sacrifice.
.
What the final explanation is, it can only be judged by the benevolent and the wise.
"Hey, buddy, what are you doing standing around? Get in the car."
Xia Yu, who was interrupted from thinking, came to his senses, nodded and got into the car at the same time. No matter if he was an angel or not, he didn't show any special abilities in the whole movie, so just treat him as a mortal.
I had a cold, cough, and I thought I wouldn’t catch it, but I ended up getting it anyway, cough, cough. I couldn’t escape the new coronavirus, and I couldn’t escape influenza A. I feel so unlucky, cough, cough… cough, cough… cough, cough, cough
My throat is a little sore and my brain is still groggy. I won’t say cough, otherwise it will be transmitted to you. You must protect your body. Colds are really uncomfortable. Cough cough...
