One Hundred and One: Konstantin's Pain
When Dante walks out of the house of everything, he hears Gary and Constantine arguing.
"Take me with you, John, I can help you, I can!"
Gary's voice was a little painful, and Dante knew that the escape of the hungry devil did make the man who caused the accident guilty, but in terms of whether to take him or not, Dante agreed with Constantine's decision.
Gary's mental state is not suitable for being with them, after all, they are facing the devil, although they are not a powerful devil, but a guy like Gary who is nervous, has a huge shadow area in his heart, feels guilty, and has a scarred heart, can easily possess him in a weak devil!
"Gary!"
Dante simply walked over and grabbed Gary's arm, he stared into Gary's eyes, only to see a little golden light blooming in Dante's pupils, and then, Dante said softly.
"Listen to me, Gary, get some rest in the House of Everything, and we'll take care of it all!"
As soon as Dante's words fell, Gary returned to the house without saying a word, and even, when he closed the door from the house, he obediently waved goodbye to Dante and Constantine!
Konstantin frowned, he looked at Dante's golden pupils, and said in disgust.
"I've only seen you in the angel's sockets like this, my disgusting golden eyes!"
Konstantin was frank about his opinion, he did not like angels, he did not like any angels, and he hated angels more than he hated devils.
The demons and the devil just wanted him to die, they just wanted to possess Konstantin's soul as a plaything.
Unlike the direct demons, the angels want more, they not only want to have Konstantin's soul completely, they also want Konstantin to die for their plan, and even when all this is happening, they want Konstantin to be happy, the demon only wants his soul, but the angel wants everything from him including the soul!
Hearing Konstantin's words, Dante shrugged helplessly.
"I don't really like it, but it works, doesn't it?"
Dante said as he sat down in the passenger seat, the gold in his eyes gradually disappearing, returning to their original black pupils, which were always filled with a heavy sense of history, and countless times had passed in front of those pupils.
"Konstantin!"
Dante looked at the road ahead and asked in a whisper.
"Actually, you did it on purpose, right?"
"What deliberately?"
Konstantin replied casually, he seemed to be driving the car very seriously, in fact, he didn't even have to look at the road now, the house of everything and the earth were not in the same dimension, the car that was enchanted by Konstantin, even if his eyes were closed, he could drive out of the forest in front of him.
Hearing Konstantin's nonchalant answer, Dante exhaled dissatisfied.
"Zed is a very talented psychic medium, you must know better than me, and you also know very well about my torturous past, why didn't you remind Zed not to shake my hand!"
"I just forgot, I'm not God, I'm not the all-knowing and all-powerful Constantine, I can't remember everything, what do you think?"
After Constantine finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Dante, he tried to make the smile on his face as natural as possible, but a trace of pain in his eyes had betrayed him.
Dante sighed deeply.
"When you summoned Dormammu, you actually knew that Zed didn't go to the purgatory where I used to be, right, you just wanted to use Dormammu to lure the Ancient One, because only a great magician like the Ancient One can make Zed's injured soul recover quickly!"
Dante spoke softly as Constantine breathed noncommittally as Dante continued.
"Everything today, I'm afraid you have already planned it when you received my call, your ultimate goal is to make your new assistant strong quickly, I believe that with today's experience, her magic will even have a chance to surpass you in three months, but that's just her talent, even if there is no today, she will one day reach her future level!"
Dante no longer looked at the forest in front of him, he stared at Konstantin's face seriously, he wanted to observe all the details of this face, and judge whether Konstantin was telling the truth or not by those details.
Whenever Dante faced Constantine, he couldn't help but think about how good it would be if Constantine was Pinocchio, so that he wouldn't have to bother to discern the heart of a fraudster!
Dante, however, saw nothing, for Constantine did not say a word, he only frowned silently, his eyes fixed on the road in front of him, and his embarrassed stubble made his face look so deep that anyone could see that he was very preoccupied.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Dante took a deep breath and continued.
"Since you don't say anything, I can only guess for myself, I don't like the process of guessing, it's boring, it's far easier than swinging a sword to cut all trouble. ”
Dante muttered twice, then looked back at Konstantin, and he spoke.
"Konstantin, you are very nervous and anxious, what are you anxious about?"
As soon as the words came out, Konstantin's eyelids trembled slightly, but Dante knew that he was guessing in the right direction!
"If you weren't in a hurry, you wouldn't use such a dangerous way to improve the strength of your little assistant, you're worried that with her normal level of progress, she won't be able to face some of the dangers that are about to happen in the future!"
Hearing this, Konstantin pursed his lips slightly, but Dante kept an eye on all the changes in Konstantin, and he continued.
"I've just felt Zed's progress, and it's a simple guess that if she hadn't had what she has today, it would take at least three years and nine months for her to get to where she is today, which is a bit too long, so some of the dangers you face must happen in the next two years, which is half of that time, and considering that you may have other ways to improve Zed, I'm going to cut that time in half again, and I'm afraid that within a year, you'll have some troubles that you don't think you can get through, and this time may be closer!”
As soon as the words came out, Konstantin's expression changed, he was no longer serious, but returned to extreme naturalness, but this naturalness is another kind of proof, from nervous to natural is also called moving!
"I don't think that trouble from Earth will be seen by a magician like you, Konstantin, are you afraid of hell, is there going to be some change in hell, these changes will make even a heartless guy like you lose the confidence to face it alone, no, no, I think wrong, I should ask this, Konstantin, why do you have to face the impending danger!"
Konstantin's hands trembled violently, and after this moment, he tried to keep his eyes on the front of him, but Dante knew that he had found the crux of the problem!
"It seems that I am already on the right track, some person or something is forcing you, that makes you have to stand up and face the trouble you are about to encounter, you are persecuted, and whether it is to make you feel trouble, or to persecute you, it is nothing more than hell and heaven, as for what role each of them plays in front of you, this should not be said by me!"
Dante reached out and patted Konstantin on the shoulder.
"Friend, you are my first friend in this universe, I don't want you to die in less than a year after knowing me, tell me, why do you want to be controlled by heaven to face the demon that you may not be able to do, by the way, maybe you don't want to say it, but you can't say it, maybe there are some annoying guys staring at you somewhere, is it an angel, I remember that you were very disgusted with the golden pupils that appeared after I activated the angelic bloodline, it seems that the angel who communicates with you is not a good thing!"
"Dante, these are not things you should be involved in, you don't like to be troublesome, and you don't like the trouble I have!"
Constantine finally spoke, his eyes a little purple, the magic flowing through him, he was angry, Dante could feel it.
"John, we're friends, and while I'm not a big fan of trouble, I never mind having more demons in my way, you know I hate those things!"
"It's not the demons or the angels who can cause me trouble, it's myself, Dante!"
Konstantin roared frantically, he let go of the control of the steering wheel, and let the car drive freely in the forest of the mystery house dimension, as long as the car did not return to Earth, then, nothing would stop in front of the car.
Konstantin took out a silk card cigarette from the cigarette case he had just opened, he lit the cigarette and took a big sip, he smoked half of the cigarette in only three puffs, and the light blue smoke filled the car, covering Konstantin's lonely eyes.
"I embarked on the path of the occult for some wrong reason, I want to be a big man in a casino more than a magician, the most beautiful girl, and make a lot of money, but everything was calculated when I was born, I was destined to be this fucking black magician, I was destined to have an inextricable entanglement with hell!"
"Nothing is predestined, John, your idea was wrong from the start!" Dante said softly, and his words made Konstantin even more agitated.
"Yes, yes!" Konstantin waved his hand frantically, the cigarette ash in his hand spilled unscrupulously on the white shirt he had just changed into, he gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely: "You're right, you're not wrong at all, I was wrong from the beginning, since I first sent my father to hell with a curse, I can't turn back, Dante!"
Hearing his words, Dante was stunned, Constantine sent his father to hell, could he have killed his father?
However, even if Constantine did kill his father, Dante would not have dissociated with him, and his father was just a symbol of some kind of good word for Dante, after all, Dante had never met his father at all.
Dante learns from the old Templar who raised him that his father's name is Sparta and his mother's name is Eva, but he has no impression of his father or mother, not even in his dreams.
What's more, Konstantin back then was not what he is now, people will change, but Konstantin who didn't realize it was a guy who was crazy enough to kill people indiscriminately, not to mention that he cursed his father.
"That's all over, John!" Dante said softly as he tried to calm Constantine's emotions, which had erupted precisely because of his own questioning.
"Everything will not be predestined, if there is, then the only thing that makes the result doomed is the reason for that result, I believe you have your own suffering. ”
