There are not only demons in hell, nor are there only monsters among demons that are big and thick and do not look like humans.
Just like Schiller said, the aesthetics of God's creations are basically the same. Except for some evolved, more natural and unrestrained races, the older the demons are, the closer they are to human form, or in other words,
It is a form close to God Himself.
There are many humanoid races in hell. The demon lord Belial belongs to the most famous ancient demon race. These demons also have two legs and two hands and walk upright. In addition to their skin color being different from humans, their faces are also similar.
Apart from being ferocious, they are almost indistinguishable from humans.
There are also shadow demons that often harass the human world. They look like human shadows. Except for a pair of wings on their backs and a black body, they are also in human form. In addition, there are many shape-shifting creatures that walk in the human world and deceive humans.
Demons, they sometimes maintain human form.
In addition, there are some human black magicians, cave dwellers, protoss and ancient rebels in hell. There are also some lucky human souls who have failed to pay the price due to mistakes in transactions and are living in the wild land of hell.
above.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for humanoid creatures and human souls to appear here, and not all demons have the ability to take a bite of the soul.
To put it bluntly, there is no clear dividing line between human souls and demon bodies. Being able to directly devour human souls means that they can directly devour demons. Those who have this ability, except for powerful demon lords, are battle-hardened.
The devil general.
If any of the minions of Hell can tear their own kind alive, then Hell will not be able to run stably for so many years.
Moreover, there is something similar to law in hell. To put it simply, this is a federal country. Satan is the nominal master of the country, but in fact the states are autonomous.
Just from the slave team that Batman saw standing on the top of the mountain, at least one-third were humans or humanoid creatures. Alfred's figure was not noticeable among them, but Batman still saw it at a glance.
His old butler.
Batman thought for a moment and understood what was going on. He jumped into hell. Constantine was mentally stimulated, but there was still one person who was mentally normal, and that was Zatanna.
Although Zatanna is incompatible with the sinful city of Gotham, and her way of doing things is a bit too straightforward in this city that is crazy and using chaos, so it is a little stupid, but like Constantine, she is a good person, so
It is your duty to save the world, so naturally you cannot watch your friends fall into hell.
Batman guessed that it was probably Zatanna who wanted to save him and Schiller, and Alfred knew about it, so he came to hell with her.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Batman sighed, not knowing whether he should be moved or have a headache. He knew that his butler had an unknown past. To put it bluntly, he was a KGB agent.
But KGB agents are not easy to use in hell. The opponents here are not CIA agents. Those big and powerful demons cannot be dealt with by one or two guns.
Batman sighed. Now, he had one more task. In addition to protecting Schiller who was in a bad state and finding a way to escape from here, he also had to find a way to rescue Alfred and take him away with him.
After hesitating for a while, Batman did not immediately rush to the slave team where Alfred was. After all, according to his observations from a height, Alfred was in good spirits and was not injured.
, the group of demon overseers were chasing him, not to do work, but to take them to get familiar with the mine.
In this case, he had to take Schiller to a safe place, so that when he went to rescue Alfred, something happened again on Schiller's side. There was no safe base, and there was nowhere to put the rescued person.
Batman became busier and busier, but his thoughts became clearer and clearer. The images of death that swirled in his mind gradually faded away. A black cloak passed over the mine, and with a "pop", Batman landed on
At the door of the underground prison, he opened the door again and walked in.
"You said you saw Alfred among the slaves?" Schiller narrowed his eyes and looked at Batman and asked. Batman nodded, and then Schiller asked: "Then what are you going to do?
?”
"I will take you to a safe place first. I saw that there is an abandoned mine in the mine not far from the prison. It seems that no one has been there for a long time. I will take you there to repair it first, and then
I'll bring Alfred over again, and then I'll find a way to get out of here."
Schiller rolled his eyes, but he shook his head and said: "No, I don't plan to leave. They captured us because they just want to use us as slaves to mine for them."
"If we stay here, we have the status of a slave, but if we leave, we are still the black people of hell. No matter where we go, we can't explain to others who we are."
"Do you really want to stay here forever?" Batman asked: "Isn't the purpose now to leave?"
"Yes, I know you care about Gotham, but do you really think resurrection is that simple? Let's not talk about where the exit of hell is. Every piece of land here belongs to the demon lord. Do you want to
If you open the portal to the human world here, it's impossible not to be discovered."
Schiller stood up slowly, looked at Batman and said: "I think you should know the situation of your soul. You are not just an ordinary human soul. Once your abnormality is noticed by the demon lord, they will never
I’ll let you out of here.”
"Besides, Batman, this is hell." Schiller smiled, with some joking and madness, and said: "You have seen the living conditions of the lowest people in Gotham, and you describe it as hell, then
,Aren’t you curious about the real hell?”
Batman looked at him silently, but Schiller didn't need to answer. Schiller sat back, tilted his head towards Batman and said: "I have disposed of the body of the jailer. Now, over there
Go and act like a slave..."
After saying that, he lowered his head and stopped talking. After Batman thought for more than ten seconds, he did as he asked and sat next to him.
I have to admit that Batman is indeed a little curious about hell, or in other words, the scenes he saw in hell made him feel a little disappointed.
People often compare Gotham to hell, but according to what Batman has seen and heard in just a few hours, hell is far worse than Gotham.
In the few minutes he stood on the top of the mountain and watched, he didn't even notice a single armed violent conflict, and not a single demon bled or died. This was unthinkable in Gotham.
After a while, a four-armed demon with dark red skin came down cursing. Batman discovered that the language used in hell was not a specific language, but a kind of soul fluctuation. Therefore, he could also
Listen and understand what this demon is saying.
"That guy Altan must have gone somewhere to be lazy again. Damn it, we haven't formed three teams today. If the boss finds out, he will definitely scold us again!"
Holding a whip and a bunch of keys in his hand, he came to the cell door. He used the iron ring of the key to knock hard on the iron railing in front of the door, and then shouted loudly: "Get up! Get up! You guys are useless."
, come out with me quickly! We must form three teams today!"
Schiller and Batman remained motionless until the demon roughly opened the cell door and waved to them: "Are you new here? Do you understand the rules of hell? Come out quickly and follow me. Today
After getting familiar with the environment of the mine, start working tomorrow, a bunch of idiots!"
It wasn't until a few thin demons walked out of the cell opposite that Schiller and Batman mingled with the crowd and followed the overseer out of the cell.
"You are lucky, idiots. The big bugs are not hungry today, so the losses are not big. They went out twice and brought back more than a dozen people. If it were normal, half of you would have got bugs."
in stomach!"
As the devil drove them out, he cursed and said: "So, all of you, give me a wink. When you enter the mine later, stop making a fuss. If you don't want to become insect fodder, just work harder for me!"
"
When they came outside the prison, the overseers put shackles and handcuffs on all the slaves. Schiller said nothing and allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
When it was his turn, the supervisor even cursed: "Those animal trainers are really becoming less and less interested. They are trying to catch such a thin human soul. They will fall apart in less than two days... Forget it, hurry up."
Click, go away! Don’t let me see you, it’s really bad luck!”
Batman, who was standing in the back row, was terrified, fearing that Schiller would suddenly burst out and he would not follow him. Every nerve in his body was tense and he was ready to make tactical moves at any time.
But unexpectedly, Schiller walked past the overseer with his head lowered and joined the team on the other side without saying anything.
When it was Batman's turn, he took a look at the handcuffs and shackles and found that they were made of a strange metal. There were no keyholes or gaps after putting them on. It would be difficult to take them off. He felt a little resistant.
, but when he looked up, he saw Schiller’s death gaze next to him.
Batman also remained silent and allowed the other party to shackle him. They both entered the team next to them, and then the supervisor took them to the mine.
When they entered the mine, Alfred's team just came out, and the two teams looked at each other from a distance.
Batman met Alfred's eyes first, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in an instant he understood Alfred's expression, which was signaling him not to speak.
Then, Alfred's eyes fell on Schiller, and Batman discovered that behind Alfred was Schiller's housekeeper Merkel.
The three of them made eye contact that Batman couldn't understand at all, and then became indifferent and passed by each other, as if they didn't know each other at all.
Entering the dark mine, the supervisor no longer paid most of his attention to them. Schiller slowed down and walked side by side with Batman. When Batman heard him, he lowered his voice and said:
"They will start work at dawn tomorrow morning. Enter from the right gate of the mine. The starting point is on the third underground floor of the mine. At noon, all the slaves in the entire mine will gather together for a meal. It will last about half an hour.
time……"
"After eating, Merkel will cooperate with you to attract the guard's attention, and I will go and meet Alfred..."
Batman's voice was full of doubts: "Wait a minute, why are you so skilled????"
Schiller looked straight ahead expressionlessly, glanced at Batman, and then said:
"Because we are professionals."
