When Lucifer returned to Forgotten Bookstore again, in addition to a scowl on his face, he also held a black diamond in his hand. This time he consciously sat in front of the window and slapped the black diamond on the table.
, and said: "This idiot is really crazy!"
Schiller packed up the last few books scattered on the ground, turned his head and glanced at the black diamond, and then said: "Bruce seemed to have brought back the same diamond before. What is this?"
Lucifer's face was gloomy. He was silent for a while before spitting out a name: "The spirit of anger is also called Eclipse."
"Oh?" Schiller uttered a syllable to express his interest. He put the book back on the shelf, sat across from Lucifer and looked at him, waiting for him to answer his questions.
"You also know that in ancient times, God wanted to spread his reputation and needed a certain amount of deterrence, so the position of God's executioner came into being. The incarnation of God's angry spirit was the first executioner, but later he was killed by the vengeance of God.
The spirit takes over.”
"I didn't pay much attention to what happened after that. I only heard that the spirit of anger seemed to be sealed by the spirit of vengeance, and there has been no movement for so many years."
"But I didn't expect Gabriel to be so crazy. He broke the seal of the angry spirit and scratched the wheat with it."
Lucifer clenched his fists, pursed his lips and said with some self-blame: "Gabriel has always wanted to find out my weaknesses in the human world. The group of people he sent to the bar before were just tests. It was my negligence.
Already."
Then he sighed again and said: "The power of the angry spirit is very special. The wounds caused by his sealed objects have this special power. The wounds will cause a lot of pain during the healing process. Gabriel just wants to
I was carried away by anger, lost my dignity and chased him like a mad dog to bite him."
Schiller smiled slightly and said: "He wants to drag you into his despicable realm and then use his rich experience to defeat you. Will you let him succeed? Or...don't you want to teach him a lesson?"
Lucifer's face was gloomy and terrible. He pressed his thumb into his palm with some pain and said: "I don't have many friends, and even fewer have been able to maintain friendship with me over the years. Wheat is almost equivalent to my soul."
mate, but few people know this.”
"Gabriel may have thought she was just a lover of mine, so he had no scruples when he injured her, but I must make him pay an equal price!"
Lucifer took a deep breath and his mandible trembled. Even though he still maintained an elegant posture, the veins on his neck were clearly visible. He stared at the table and thought for a while before looking at Schiller and said: "You
I guessed it all, but you didn't remind me, you just wanted me to do what you said."
"No need for me to remind you." Schiller shook his head and said: "As long as you are still active in the human world, you will inevitably have friends you care about. Even if they are just casual acquaintances, Gabriel can still torture them one by one, but you can only
Run after him and feel your friend's pain."
Schiller stood up, walked behind Lucifer, put his hand on the back of Lucifer's chair, and then on his shoulder, looked down at him and said: "Don't live like Constantine."
, that’s exactly what Gabriel wants, he and Constantine are the same kind of people.”
"They have never been taken seriously and have always been alternatives, so when they do evil, they will try their best to make you feel the pain and become a source of disaster in the eyes of friends, making everyone miserable.
Stay far away from you."
Schiller leaned down slightly and said close to Lucifer's ear: "The greatest courage is not to fall to heaven, but to return to heaven after falling. The relief you receive from angels and God will be your best weapon. You
Seize it firmly and stab it into the heart of your enemy."
"That's enough." Lucifer took a deep breath and said, "Don't tempt me. I won't become as crazy as you... Damn it, aren't there enough crazy people in this world?"
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door, then looked back at Schiller, his eyes full of hesitation, but in the end he said: "I... go back and think about it."
Lucifer turned around and left, and the red hood sat on the steps of the stairs, quite a bit surprised, and said: "Okay, who is this big shot? Don't tell me he is really that Lucifer."
"Yes, that's him, Lucifer Morningstar."
Red Hood covered his eyes and said, "You tempt a devil to deal with an angel by making him turn back into an angel. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Lucifer will make the right choice." Schiller's tone was always calm. He took a sip of water, walked to the window, and looked at the iron-grey streets of London.
This is an excellent hunting ground for vampires, because even if it doesn't rain, the sky is still gloomy and dark, with no sunlight.
Bruce, who had just walked out of the BBC headquarters building, saw a familiar figure on the street corner. After he walked over, he looked at Constantine squatting in the corner and smoking and asked: "John, why are you here? Didn't you go back to the bookstore?"
"
"I'm waiting for you." Constantine exhaled a puff of smoke, looked up at Bruce and said, "Don't you want me to help you find a vampire? I originally caught one, but that cunning mouse took advantage of the opportunity.
I escaped, but unfortunately I got beaten up."
Bruce frowned and stepped forward. He pushed Constantine's upper body back, and sure enough he saw a long wound on his abdomen.
Constantine took a hard breath, blew out a smoke ring, and said: "I'm unlucky, but that guy didn't escape. He turned into ashes under the hands of Father Midnight. It seems I have to find another one for you."
Already."
"No need." Bruce shook his head and said, "That part has been completed, but you'd better lie down on your back. It's not good to cover the wound like this."
"I'm fine, can you help me?"
"I mean, even if you cover this wound with your hand, it's still full of holes. I guess you haven't studied anatomy. The wounds caused by vampire claws are not like this."
Constantine fell silent, but showed no sign of taking action. Bruce half-knelt in front of him, looked into his eyes and said, "Who are you? Why do you come to me?"
"I heard you were looking for a black diamond, do you know what it is?"
"have no idea."
"Really? Didn't you feel the powerful power the moment you touched it?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"That is the spirit of God's wrath. The heart of darkness that sealed him was broken, so it scattered into a thousand pieces and wandered around the world. If you can find it, you can gain extremely powerful power."
"Then what?"
"It seems that the angry spirit has told you all these things, and what I want to tell you is that even if you collect a thousand pieces, you can't completely restore the heart of darkness. These diamonds with powerful power will bewitch you."
Ordinary people, if they become its puppets and then commit numerous crimes, the world will be plunged into disaster and there will never be peace."
Constantine sighed softly and said: "I am Gabriel. The black diamond I gave you before can make you realize how powerful and dangerous this thing is, and you will definitely try your best to collect it.
"
"But unfortunately, you have adopted the most stupid method, which is to let ordinary people find it for you. Once they are bewitched, disaster will follow, and you cannot restore the heart of darkness and re-seal the spirit of anger. You
These sacrifices of your fellow countrymen will be in vain, and it will all be your sin."
"Among these thousand fragments, there is one core fragment that is the most critical. Only by obtaining it can it be possible to reconstruct the Heart of Darkness."
"So, where is this core fragment?" Bruce asked very cooperatively.
Gabriel showed a crazy smile. He pulled off his shirt to expose his chest. He saw a black rhombus emitting purple light inserted into his heart. He looked up and said to Bruce.
"The core fragment is here, in the heart of your friend Constantine. If you take it away, the energy that powered the dead man's body will disappear, and the body will be completely reduced to ashes, even if
Even if the soul returns from hell, it will never be possible for it to be resurrected."
"And if you don't take it away, you will never be able to re-seal the angry spirit, and innocent people will die tragically because of you."
"Make a choice, Batman." Gabriel tilted his head to one side and said: "Leave the core fragment, keep the body intact, and give your friends a chance to resurrect, or use it to re-seal the angry spirit and avoid
Possible casualties?"
Bruce's expression suddenly became a little complicated. Just as Gabriel in Constantine's body was carefully admiring this scene, Bruce's expression turned strange again.
Bruce put his hand into a fist against his mouth, coughed hard twice, and raised his voice and said, "I didn't understand. Can you repeat what you just said?"
Gabriel frowned fiercely, looked at Bruce coldly and said, "Don't try to play tricks on me, human boy, there's no way you can't understand."
"What did you say? You want Batman to make a choice?" Bruce's voice became louder.
"What are you doing?!" Gabriel asked.
Bruce raised his head and glanced at the roof next to him, but it was just outside of Gabriel's field of vision. Gabriel frowned tightly and said: "Yes, you have to make a choice. It's for ordinary people."
life, or your friend’s intact body?”
"I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"
"Do you have bad ears? I said, I will let you make a choice!!!" Gabriel shouted angrily.
With a "whoosh", a gust of wind passed through the streets. Gabriel's eyes widened and he saw a ball of blood mist slowly gathering behind Bruce.
"Vampire?" Gabriel frowned and shouted, then showed a disgusted expression and said: "Get away, damn stinky rat!"
But after the blood mist condensed, what appeared was not the vampire's always gloomy and indifferent expression, but a huge smile.
Bruce instantly took a step back, moved out from between the two of them, then pointed at Gabriel and said to Cain the Clown.
