The sea breeze in Plymouth carries an unspeakable salty moisture, thick dark clouds hang over the sky, the old ship parked in the Devonport dock is stained with rust, and the setting sun sprinkles diamonds on the top of the sea, through You can see the gaps in the old sails, and the water splashed by the waves is like pale fingers, etching traces on the ancient rocks.
A somewhat dilapidated black car parked on the side of the road. Several figures rushed into the watchtower before the sunset ended. The rich smell of blood came from the gate. Jim who broke the door grabbed the weapon with both hands and arched his body step by step. go inside.
Red Robin looked down at the blood on the ground, then looked at the stairs and said, "They are underground."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bennett turned into a bat and rushed down. Several others followed him. As soon as they rushed underground, they saw Kaz's shriveled body lying in the center of a mysterious magic circle.
All his blood was drained, forming blood streams guided by magic one after another, flowing in one direction along the rune patterns of the magic circle.
Constantine looked up and saw countless bloody fragments and mucus at the end of the circle, which looked like a broken egg.
"What are they hatching with Kaz's blood..." Constantine's boots made a wet sound when he stepped on the blood. He stepped towards Kaz's body, but Red Robin walked towards him. stopped him in front of him.
"I have forensic experience. Please step back and let me check it out."
Constantine glanced at him, but still stopped. Red Robin stepped forward, turned Kaz's body over with his hands, and looked at the big hole in his chest.
"First his heart was taken out, and then all the blood in his body was drained, and all the strength in his bones and muscles was squeezed out. What on earth did the vampire named Mary want to do?"
Bennett stared blankly at the traces of eggs at the end of the room. Just when Constantine was about to ask him if he had discovered anything, Bennett said: "You know that there is a conflict between the Secret Party and the Demon Party within the Vampire Clan. What's the difference?"
Bennett took a deep breath, and as he narrated, the secrets of the vampire family for thousands of years were gradually revealed.
"Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, was expelled from the Garden of Eden for killing his brother. He swore revenge on Adam and Eve, so he used their descendants, that is, humans, as food, sucked their blood, and deprived them s life."
"There are thirteen descendants of Cain, which are the thirteen clans among the blood clan. The bloodline from Cain gives them great strength, but they are not completely united, and some of the clans are even like enemies."
"In the year we call the Year of Blood, a war broke out among the thirteen clans. They split into two factions, namely the Secret Alliance and the Sabbat Alliance, which later became the Camarilla and the Devil's Party. Make Tantric and Demonic Sects.”
"The Camarilla adheres to the dogma and believes that they are guilty of Cain's crime of killing his brothers, and they have to stay low-key day and night in order to seek relief and salvation, while the Devil's Party believes that humans have stolen the status that the ancestor Cain should have, and they Cain’s teachings should be followed to avenge mankind, and the struggle between the two parties will never end.”
"For many years, their main conflict has been whether they should be loyal to their ancestor Cain. The members of the Demon Party are killing humans and transforming countless bloodthirsty monsters, not just to satisfy their own appetites. They are collecting life treasures.
force."
Constantine turned to stare at the broken egg and asked: "...for what?" "Resurrection of Cain."
"Is Cain dead?" Red Robin asked.
"No, Cain is immortal. When God punished Cain, he announced that he would leave the Garden of Eden, but people were not allowed to kill him. However, the church that respected God's will regarded Cain as a sinner and has been expelling and sealing him.
"The most recent time should have been two hundred years ago. Saint William from York Minster led a group of knights to severely injure Cain, causing him to fall into a deep sleep. He was never heard from again."
Bennett sighed, turned to look at Constantine and said, "Do you still remember our previous speculation about the purpose of the Blood Red Moon Sacrifice of Living Humans? Maybe we are all wrong, it is not Blood Queen Mary or anything else.
In the promotion ceremony of the vampires, they want to collect the power of life and use it to resurrect Cain."
Constantine took a few steps forward and came to the fragments of the egg. He knelt down and looked at the four pieces of mucus around him, and said, "Don't tell me that they have succeeded."
"I'm afraid so." Red Robin's voice came from around Kaz's body. He stood up, looked at Constantine and said, "I modified the magic circle for summoning demons, but my call didn't come through."
The dirty Ritasha "there, but connected to another devil."
"Who?" Constantine frowned. "Lilith."
Everyone present took a breath, and Constantine even rushed over with a quick stride, put his hand on Red Robin's shoulder, and looked into his pupils.
Suddenly, he turned pale, staggered back two steps, shook his head vigorously and said: "Get out, Lilith, I don't owe you anything!"
Dead Man Boston stepped forward and said: "Do you know what a dangerous move you have made? You seek answers from the mother of nightmares and night, and she will make you pay the price."
"We'll talk about the price later." Red Robin came to the broken egg and said: "Lilith told me that it was her nephew who did the good deeds, and that she had the same origin as Adam in the Garden of Eden. God used clay to
He who created Adam also created her, they are brother and sister, and Cain is Adam’s son and Lilith’s nephew.”
"We're in big trouble." Constantine looked up and looked at the rune etchings on the ceiling, and said: "I'm afraid the second Vampire War is coming. Let's go back to the Forgotten Bar. We have to recruit people from the magic world, and then
Notify the church again...
Just as Constantine walked towards the door, Dark Night Master Jim was stunned for a moment. He stopped Constantine, then raised the night blade and said to these people: "What's wrong, Andrea, what's going on?"
Is something wrong?"
"Master, come back quickly! The bar is in a mess now. The cabbages you brought back knocked over two of them, but you can't deal with more crazy mages!"
"What's going on? How dare they cause trouble in the Forgotten Bar?!"
"There's a big mess! The devils in hell collectively broke the contract, and they took back all the power they lent to the magicians... The magic world is over!"
Everyone present was stunned. In the end, the dead man reacted first. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The power of all of us does not come from the devil. Let's go back to the bar to stop the chaos first."
Dark Night Master Jim opened the door to Maia, and several people took a shortcut from the magic world back to the Forgotten Bar. As soon as they stepped into the bar, they saw magicians lying on the ground wailing and jumping up and down on the counter.
Go to the beating cabbage with its waving leaves.
Jim was so anxious when he saw the chaotic situation in the bar that he completely forgot Schiller's previous instructions. He wanted to go back behind the counter to get a box to pack the cabbage, but as soon as he got close to the counter, he was hit with an uppercut against the opposite wall.
He let out a scream of "Ouch", then covered his nose and stood up dizzily, took a deep breath, pointed at the cabbage and said: "Quickly, put it up! If this continues, the magic world
It’s really over!”
In the end, Bennett turned into a bat, avoided the attack of the cabbage, and knocked the cabbage back into the box. The bartender Andrea closed the lid of the box.
"Thanks to it!" Andrea crawled out from behind the counter and said, "A group of mages were looking for the Night Master like crazy. If I said you weren't here, they would take action. Fortunately, it protected me."
"What's going on?" Jim looked at Andrea with wide eyes and asked. Andrea sighed, grabbed a magician from behind the counter who had been knocked unconscious by her with a wine bottle, and pressed it on the counter.
, and then said: "You'd better ask him."
Constantine stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the magician, and poured ice water from the cup next to him on his face. Soon the bald, middle-aged wizard woke up leisurely.
"Oh my God, Constantine!!!" he screamed instinctively.
But before Constantine could ask, the middle-aged mage grabbed Constantine's arm and cried to him: Constantine... Archmage Constantine! You have to think of a way! Then
A bunch of damn devils destroyed the contract and took back their power, and most mages can no longer cast magic!"
"The mages were kicked out because they were unable to maintain the operation of the mage tower. When other creditors came to the door, the lucky ones ran away, and the unlucky ones were torn into pieces. The territory of the magic family lacked the protection of the magic circle.
, all kinds of monsters and ghosts came to the door, and there were rivers of blood and corpses everywhere..."
The middle-aged mage kept mumbling and said in tears: "Crazy, crazy, everything is crazy..."
Constantine pushed him away, slapped him aside, then kicked him in the stomach and said: "Is this the reason why you rushed into the neutral zone? Complete idiots, you are doing it to yourself!"
The middle-aged mage who fell on the ground didn't even have the strength to get up. He could only lie on the ground and howl. Constantine took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Don't point at these people."
What a coward, without the devil's charity, they are no better than a three-year-old child."
He paced in front of the bar angrily and said, "I should have thought of this day. How could the devil be so kind and lend power to so many people with such a low threshold?"
"They have been waiting for this day for a long time, waiting for these fools who have adapted to the power of magic to lose their strength, kneeling at their feet, begging for their torture, just for the little scraps!"
"Shame on mankind!" Constantine cursed.
"Calm down, John." The dead man, who had no mood swings, stepped forward and held Constantine's shoulders, comforting him.
Red Robin's thinking was as clear as ever. He said: "We must first figure out the reason why the demons collectively broke the contract, preserve the remaining living force in the magic world to deal with the possible impact, and then trace the secrets behind it all."
"You won't have this chance."
A cold female voice sounded at the door, a flash of lightning flashed outside the door of Forgotten Bar, and a woman with huge bat wings slowly walked into Forgotten Bar.
"Mary!" Bennett called her name.
Mary raised her head slightly. She had beautiful reddish-brown curly hair and was commonly known as the appearance of a medieval lady. She was wearing a long rococo dress, just like Madame Pompadour coming out of a painting.
She tilted her head and glanced around. After seeing the embarrassed magicians lying on the ground, she showed a sneer and said: "It's bad luck, humans. It seems that the devils can't stand your stupidity anymore."
"What on earth is going on?" Jim stared at her coldly and asked, "If you don't explain clearly, you won't be able to walk out of the bar alive!"
"What do you mean? The return of the great ancestor or the right choice for the devils?" Mary was not afraid, and more vampires poured into the bar.
She took two steps forward, folding her hands in front of her body to maintain an elegant and dignified appearance, with a calm and unscrupulous aura, which was in sharp contrast to the tense atmosphere opposite.
"Before threatening me, do you want to see who this is?"
Mary showed a smile and waved lightly with her pale fingertips, and two strong vampires threw a figure to the ground.
Constantine opened his eyes wide and called her name. "Zatanna?!!!"
