Chapter 943 The Mystery of Schiller’s Past (Part 1)
"Ahhhhh...uh! Uh!"
Constantine, who had just screamed, was pulled over by Batman and then covered his mouth.
Schiller, who was standing by the door, turned his head. The sleeves of the straitjacket that bound his hands had long straps to fix his hands. Although Schiller's hands were fixed, the straps could move freely, like
Like a flexible whip, he whipped towards Constantine.
After the initial fright, Constantine did not hesitate. First he rolled over the hospital bed in front of him, and then pushed the cabinet next to him with all his strength.
The cabinet did not hit Schiller, but when the cabinet fell, the documents inside spilled out, blocking Schiller's sight. In just a few seconds, Constantine grabbed Batman and rushed out.
this room.
"The passage is in that room. We have to get out of here through him." Batman followed behind Constantine and said, "That's the escape exit. Where else do you want to go?"
"Escape exit?!" Constantine raised his voice and said, "Didn't you see that's where I came from just now? ... No, he's catching up again, let's go downstairs first!"
After speaking, Constantine grabbed the handle of the stair handrail, stopped the inertia of running, and then rushed down the stairs quickly.
The safety indicator light in the stairwell gave the small space a little more brightness. At this moment, Batman saw that most of the right side of Constantine's body was stained red with blood.
Perhaps because this was a memory space, Batman didn't smell the smell of blood, but he heard Constantine's slightly heavy breathing. Obviously, his condition was not very good.
Batman's expression became more solemn, but he still quickened his pace. While running in the corridor, he looked around at the scene. Then he discovered that almost all the rooms on this floor had no lights on.
Except for a tool room located at the end of the corridor.
Just when Constantine was about to rush into the tool room, Batman stopped him. He first listened carefully to the sound, then looked in through the door window, but did not find any people or institutions, and then the two
Talent rushed in.
Batman touched the switch immediately and turned off the light instantly. The two of them gave up their concentration and listened to the "clicking sound" getting closer and closer, and then getting farther and farther. After the sound disappeared, Constantine let out a sigh of relief, but
Somewhat exhausted, he swayed a few times and leaned against the wall.
Batman looked through the window on the door again and glanced at the corridor. He found that Schiller was gone, so he turned on the light again. Then he discovered that there was a large gash on Constantine's body, from the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
All the way through the chest to the waist, there was a lot of blood.
"You may be wondering why the soul state can be injured, but I want to tell you, this is not just as simple as playing a game." Constantine took out a cigarette from the pocket of his windbreaker, and after taking a puff,
He picked up his spirits and said, "There will be injuries and bleeding here, or it may be more serious than that."
"So what happened to you?" Batman asked.
Taking another puff of smoke, Constantine raised his head slightly and saw the slightly thin cigarette. Under the illumination of the light, the smoke continued to change shapes, and finally dissipated in the air.
The light emitted by the incandescent light bulb reminded him of the ball of light that sucked him in when he passed through the tunnel before.
When Constantine landed, he was not as lucky as Batman. He was not born on a soft bed, but landed on a somewhat cold ground. The moment he landed, he covered his waist and let out a scream.
.
"God, I'm not old enough to do this." Constantine gasped and sat up from the ground. He put one arm over his shoulder, rubbed the shoulder blade that was a little painful from the fall, and hammered it with the other hand.
He glanced at his neck, which seemed to have been pinched when he landed on the ground.
Looking at the disappearing light spot above his head, Constantine realized that his fall was not unfair, because the light spot was at least two meters above the ground.
He thought, okay, this is Schiller, he hates everyone equally at any point in time, and never misses any opportunity to make others look embarrassed, even if it is unconsciously.
Constantine stood up from the ground and showed a sneer. He didn't come here to cheat Schiller's umbrella. Even if the umbrella had the effect of breaking demons, he was not interested. But although the purpose was not an umbrella, he came here.
This is also an attempt to steal something.
At that time, Schiller used the magic-breaking effect of the umbrella to knock out the cursed soul parasitic on Constantine, and then absorbed it into the umbrella pole.
But Constantine knows that the cursed soul is a "spirit". He needs the human soul to provide him with energy for activities. He cannot stay in objects forever. This is why many horror movies about scary objects, those
Cursed objects always cling to their owners and are unwilling to leave.
Constantine didn't know that Schiller could go to another world, make a deal with Mephisto, get a bunch of Hydra souls, and feed them to the cursed soul, so that he would be full and not hungry for half a year.
Constantine thought that Schiller must be feeding the cursed soul with his own soul energy.
From the perspective of the occult community, "souls" and "spirits" cannot be considered evil. They are more like beasts in nature. Foraging is their instinct. However, the soul strength of ordinary people is not enough to support some powerful
Possessed by other spirits, it will lead to increasing weakness and eventually death.
However, Constantine knew that Schiller was extraordinary. He felt that Schiller's soul energy was definitely enough to feed the cursed soul. This was why he had allowed Schiller to take away such a powerful spirit body before.
When the cursed soul haunted Constantine, it was not because of hatred that it tormented Constantine. He was just very hungry but could not find anything to eat because Constantine's soul was so scarred.
It was full of holes and he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
The reason why Constantine was so embarrassed was because the cursed soul was his twin, and his soul was exactly the same as his. In his own soul, he could not find the existence of the cursed soul, and naturally he could not dispel it.
So the two tortured each other.
But after Schiller used his umbrella to solve the situation, Constantine had other ideas. It was impossible for him not to want a curse as powerful as the Cursed Soul, but if he got the Cursed Soul back, he would still
There is no way to feed the cursed soul.
So, he thought of a good way. Since Schiller took this thing away, he must be aware of its power. Then maybe, for its power, Schiller is willing to give his soul energy to feed it.
.
When the cursed soul is full, it will naturally stop tormenting the host in a short period of time. And if Constantine finds a way to get the cursed soul back within this time period, then he will have a side-effect-free
Powerful spirit.
In the occult world, many people capture souls or spirits as their pets and assistants, but the vast majority of souls or spirits that can be captured are relatively weak and can only serve as detectives at most. In other aspects
It can't help much, but the cursed soul is different.
Constantine knew how special his soul was, and that a soul exactly like his, even if he was no longer a normal human, could be used to deceive the demons who longed for his soul.
To put it simply, he wants to use the Cursed Soul as bait, or as a scapegoat when he really can't pay the bills. In short, it has many uses and benefits, and it doesn't cost much. How could Constantine not fight?
What's his idea?
Of course, he also knew that it would be dangerous to rashly penetrate into Schiller's soul, but he had one more piece of information than the other two, that is, Schiller was probably held back by the Green of All Things.
As an unparalleled genius in the occult world for centuries, the level of power that Constantine has access to is very high. After all, from heaven to hell, no one does not love Constantine.
At this point, even Zatanna is a bit worse than him. Zatanna is just of noble birth, so she has wider connections and better information in the world, but Constantine can be called a real
Hundreds of dawns are born in the spiritual world.
He knew what level the Green of All Things existed, so when his companions were chasing him, he felt something was wrong. If the Green of All Things really wanted to deal with him, would it still need to use such old-fashioned methods as vines and plants?
Combined with the fact that the place where the All-Green came to be is Gotham University, Constantine speculated that it was very likely that the All-Green was eyeing the students of Gotham University. Schiller, who was protecting his shortcomings, directly attacked the All-Green, and the two had an affair.
conflict,
Zatanna didn't understand Schiller, while Batman didn't understand the occult. Constantine, who knew both parties relatively well, knew the moment he learned this fact that his opportunity had come.
The Green of All Things is not that easy to deal with. If Schiller wants to confront him head-on, he will probably have to bring in other personality traits from that tower.
Constantine knew that the human soul had a bandwidth limit, and it was impossible to output madly to one target while simultaneously pulling a network cable to madly output to another target.
Therefore, if he goes to Schiller's soul now, it should be the safest.
When this plan was formulated, the logic was relatively smooth. Constantine felt that even if he did not find the cursed soul in Schiller's soul or failed to bring him back successfully, there would be no problem in running away.
After all, if Schiller was too busy fighting against the Green of All Things, he wouldn't be able to cross the entire spiritual world to hunt him down. At worst, he would have to hide in hell for two days.
The plan was very good, but when it was implemented, there were hundreds of thousands of small problems.
Constantine, who had just landed, put his hands on his hips and looked at the surrounding environment. Then he discovered that this place seemed to be an abandoned warehouse. It was very large, with a high roof, and almost no light. It had an empty and eerie feel.
Constantine planned to walk towards the crack in the door where a glimmer of light was revealed, but as soon as he took two steps, there was a "bang" and he tripped.
When Constantine got up from the ground, he rubbed his arm again. The pain from the fall had not been relieved, so that when he landed, he couldn't help but scream in pain.
As soon as he got up from the ground, Constantine turned to look at the culprit who tripped him.
But the next second, he was stunned, because in the dim light, he saw that what tripped him was a corpse.
