Chapter 302: To Los Angeles
But it has always been others who owe him Constantine's favors, but I didn't expect him Constantine to owe others favors.
Konstantin sighed in his heart, and then secretly glanced at Bruce and Xia Yu in front of him, and praised his wit again.
A playboy who is interested in magic, and a playboy who can't see through it and has some special abilities, but can be friends with a playboy, and it's not smart to think about it.
It is estimated that the favors owed to them will be repaid soon, and maybe they can be able to make them owe themselves favors.
He Konstantin liked to make friends and help others the most.
Of course, when you are in danger, you can ask your friends for help and ask them to return the favor, even if your friends pay with their lives.
Suppressing the thoughts that came to his mind, Konstantin smiled sincerely again.
"Now that you've all decided, let's get moving."
Konstantin slapped the table with both hands, looked at the few people in front of him with a confident smile and said.
In the past, he usually acted as a leader and led others to solve problems that could not be judged.
Of course, as a leader, you can't get into danger, so it's okay to let them find their way.
"Bruce, you have the right and money, you can use the money to recruit people to explore Los Angeles, although ordinary people and the devil are two parallel lines, but there will always be a moment of convergence."
"As for the others, I can give you some magic items, and then you can explore the world of magic, and you will definitely find some clues when you explore."
Faced with Constantine's proposal, Bruce shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"I think you seem to have thought something wrong, it was me who promised to help, not my identity that promised to help, understand?"
Tsk, worthy of being a master, it is domineering.
Xia Yu looked at Konstantin's expression and froze, and suddenly thought of a possibility, the other party probably didn't know that Bruce was Batman.
Partnering with Bruce is just to expand his network, after all, for Konstantin, connections are also a resource he often uses.
At the same time, Konstantin had come back to his senses, and his expression remained unchanged in his heart, and he secretly cursed Bruce in his heart, these rich people are some perverts with eccentric personalities.
"That ......"
Konstantin looked at the others, and since Bruce said so, the others ......
"They're not going to help, they're going to stay at Wayne Manor to take care of my affairs, so I'm the only one going to Los Angeles." Bruce said in a deep voice.
】
Hearing this, Konstantin's expression was a little tense, why did he find Bruce Wayne, because it was not his power!
As a result, this guy directly stated that he would not use Wayne's power, and only Bruce came to help, he was simply an idiot!
Konstantin took out his cigarette case a little uncomfortably, and was about to take a cigarette to moisten his throat, but Xia Yu suddenly snatched his cigarette case.
"No smoking here." Xia Yu shook the cigarette case between his fingers, "I don't want to smell your second-hand smoke, and then become a black-lung old man at a young age." ”
Xia Yu's words made Konstantin's expression a little ugly, because he was the black lung old man in Xia Yu's mouth.
The perennial cigarette does not leave his hand, so that he suffers from lung cancer in middle age, and it is still the most serious advanced stage of lung cancer.
It was precisely because he was going to die that Konstantin was in such a hurry to investigate the hellish conspiracy, because he wanted to go to heaven with this merit.
But if I really want to say it, Konstantin actually doesn't want to go to heaven or hell, he wants to die completely, even his soul dies.
But this is obviously impossible, so he can only choose a better place, which is heaven.
For the sake of dying soon, Konstantin didn't want to be restrained at all, and when he was about to grab the cigarette case, the cigarette case held by Xia Yu suddenly burst into flames, and in just a moment, the cigarette box was burned out.
This hand made Konstantin suddenly remember that the Asian named Xia Yu in front of him was not an ordinary person, and he could become his substitute...... Friend's standard.
"Since you don't like to smell smoke, friend, then I won't smoke."
Konstantin smiled, he had always been very tolerant of friends, provided that there was no danger.
"Don't, don't, I'm not your friend." Xia Yu showed a disgusted expression on his face as if he had stepped on a cockroach, "I'm not bold enough to make friends with the famous Konstantin, I just said it, I just want to be an insurance, don't ask, it's impossible to spoil if you ask." ”
These words made Bruce look at Konstantin thoughtfully, being so disgusted by Xia Yu, I am afraid that Konstantin is even worse than he imagined.
was so disgusted by Xia Yu, Konstantin grinned on his lips, and he was mmp in his heart, obviously he was only active near Los Angeles, how could he offend this Gotham guy.
Konstantin glanced at Bruce covertly, and when he saw that the other party's expression remained unchanged, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the big dog didn't dislike him.
Afraid that the time would drag on the accident, Konstantin hurriedly said: "In that case, let's hurry to Los Angeles, while we can still buy tickets." ”
In response to this, Bruce shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I also have an industry in Los Angeles, and I can directly take my private jet over when the time comes." ”
Konstantin was a little dumbfounded, and once again secretly cursed the damn rich man.
"Ah Fu, take Konstantin to pick up one of my private jets, and leave when I'm done."
"Yes, sir."
Alfred replied with one hand to his chest and led Konstantin out of the place.
After Konstantin left completely, Bruce looked at Xia Yu again and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Xia Yu also tilted his head and looked at Bruce with innocent eyes.
“……”
After playing with a wide eye, Bruce was the first to lose, because his eyes were so unbearable that he was about to cry if he didn't blink.
"Alas......" Bruce sighed tiredly at first, and then asked, "Xia Yu, can you tell me what you know about Constantine?" You know him obviously. ”
"Well...... Xia Yu stretched out his thumb and index finger and rubbed it, "The price is a bit high." ”
For this, Bruce's expression remained unchanged, and he directly took out a check and signed his name, and then handed it to Xia Yu.
"Fill it out yourself."
“……”
Xia Yu is a bit of a Muggle, but he didn't expect the sand withering scene in the TV series to really happen, and one of the protagonists is still him!
Xia Yu wanted to snatch the check, and then threw it in Bruce's face, and then scolded angrily that there are a few stinky money!
But...... How could he not want money for the sake of dignity?
"Ahem, then I'll tell you about it."
Xia Yu quickly took the check and stuffed it into his arms, and then looked at Bruce seriously as if nothing had happened.
For Konstantin's deeds, he actually only knows a rough idea, although there is off-site assistance, but DC itself is in chaos, not to mention his stitched version.
So Xia Yu can only pick and choose, but no matter what he says, he can hear two words between the lines of his words, that is, pit goods.
Listening to Xia Yu's story, Bruce also contributed to Konstantin's personality model in his heart to make it more perfect.
After a while, Xia Yu took the hot water in front of him and moistened his throat, and said: "That's all I know, so Konstantin is a real scum, don't look at him just behaved so sincerely, I'm afraid he is just tempting you to fall into the trap." ”
Bruce nodded, although he could see that Xia Yu still had something to hide, but the information just now was enough.
But......
"Who the hell are you? Xia Yu. Bruce suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Yu, "According to the information I investigated, you should have never been to Los Angeles, why do you seem to know everything, and your strange ability, the recovery of Lei Xiao's ancient thinking......"
"Well...... this"
Xia Yu looked at Bruce with some surprise, he didn't expect Bruce to suddenly question him now, but he was willing to ask him openly, instead of making small moves secretly, does it mean that Bruce already has some trust in him?
It's really rare, this is Batman's trust.
"Guess?"
Xia Yu smiled, then got up and walked away, leaving only Batman with an elongated shadow.
Everybody hates Riddler, everybody is Riddler.
Don't say it, don't say it, sometimes when the Riddler can really feel happy, especially when others show their stinky faces, the happiness is directly doubled.
Seeing that Xia Yu really left without saying anything, Bruce felt a little tired, why couldn't he meet a normal person.
You can't just because he's not normal, so he can't meet a normal person.
However, although Xia Yu didn't answer anything, Bruce could confirm that this guy was harmless to Gotham, at least for the time being.
It can be regarded as a companion, but the necessary precautions still have to be done, just now the other party has shown the ability to start a fire with his bare hands, and it seems that the fire resistance of the battle armor must be strengthened.
There is also the ability to teleport...... Hopefully, this magical journey will allow him to gather enough information to balance Xia Yu.
Retracting his thoughts, Bruce determined his goal and then looked at Talia and Lei Xiaogu.
Gotham can do without Bruce, but Gotham can't do without Batman, so he decides to have Thunder Thunder replace him as Batman during this time.
As his former teacher, Bruce actually wanted to directly kill this old immortal who had no human emotions at all, but the oath of not killing could only let him let Lei Xiaogu go again and again.
thought that the days could only continue like this until Lei Xiaogu brought about his own destruction, but who would have thought that Lei Xiaogu would have a day of recovery.
Through the conversation with Lei Xiaogu, Bruce also determined that this once ruthless person had really recovered his thinking as a human being.
Of course, there's also a part of Talia that's in the ears.
As for how Lei Xiaogu recovered, every time he mentioned this, Lei Xiaogu kept his mouth shut, that is, just now, he knew that Lei Xiaogu's recovery was also related to Xia Yu.
That's why he questioned Xia Yu just now, but he replied......
After Bruce retracted his thoughts and explained his plan to Talia and Thundergous, he opened the secret door and headed to the Batcave.
Although he was traveling to Los Angeles as Bruce, he could bring some Batman props, such as a universal belt or something.
……
"Why haven't they come yet?"
Konstantin was bored against the wall, holding a cigarette in his hand, and although his cigarette was burned, he never said that he only had a box of cigarettes.
"The master is coming soon, after all, he is the head of the Wayne family, and he has many things to explain." Alfred stood aside and said politely.
For this, Konstantin pursed his lips and took a puff of cigarette silently, as far as he knew, the Wayne family was Bruce Wayne alone, and one person's family had nothing to explain.
After waiting for a while, Xia Yu came, and then it didn't take long for Bruce, who was dressed in a suit on the surface but fully armed inside, to come.
Bruce first explained a few things to his butler Alfred before boarding his private jet and flying towards Los Angeles.
He is no stranger to Los Angeles for Bruce Wayne, who has traveled the world during his training, but it is clear that he only knows Los Angeles on the surface.
Under Konstantin's explanation, a world of angels and demons gradually unfolds towards the blues.
"God and Satan have agreed to make the human world a neutral zone, and they must not directly interfere with human behavior, but they can each send their own little brother to secretly influence people's choices, and those who choose to be good can go to heaven after death, and those who choose to be evil will fall into hell, and both sides will bet on the soul of mankind at the card table to determine the final destination of this middle ground."
"But orthodox angels and demons can't enter and leave the world freely, because there are barriers in the world, so those little brothers in heaven and hell need to use human bodies to carry out activities, and we call these little brothers hybrids, because they are not pure human beings, angels are hybrid angels, and demons are hybrid demons."
For Konstantin's explanation, Bruce asks a question.
"So those who are wicked and those who are good are all because of the influence of their power?"
"No, no, no." Konstantin shook his head, "Although the hybrids have great power, but in the rules, they can only influence the minds of humans in a whispering way, both good and evil, so in the end, it depends on the choice of the human race, and the hybrids cannot be killed directly, they can only be expelled back to their original place." ”
Hearing this, Bruce was a little worried, the angel and the devil could not be killed, so what if these two were eyeing Gotham?
His oath of non-killing was only for humans, and aliens and other races were not in this category, so Bruce was already thinking about how to kill angels and demons at the moment.
"Of course, hybrids who have been in the human world for a long time are often assimilated by humans, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, so hybrid angels and hybrid demons are often not as hostile as people think, and are more like athletes who compete fiercely with each other, athletes understand?" Konstantin danced with his hands.
"The human soul is the gold medal, and they are the athletes who want to win the gold medal, competing with each other, but without the hatred of life and death, some angels and demons will also develop cross-class feelings, because they also have seven emotions and six desires."
"Then how do you distinguish angels and demons in the world?" Bruce asked.
"That's easy, as long as they use their power, the eyes of the hybrid angels will turn golden, and the eyes of the hybrid demons will turn red."
Bruce silently jotted down the piece of information and recalled Gotham.
In the years since he debuted as Batman, there have been no special childlike people in Gotham, so there are no angels and demons in Gotham?
You can't let your guard down, wait until you go back and investigate again, the angels can stay for the time being, and the demons must be expelled.
Xia Yu, who had not spoken on the other side, fell into thought, the angel has golden eyes, and the demon has red eyes, so what are his red eyes that use the power of holy light? A hybrid within a hybrid?
However, he is not a real angel as a source of holy light, and besides, he is a human being, and he is not a little brother of heaven and hell, so he does not need to substitute himself into it.
I don't know if I can get the real angelic power on this trip, and the spear of Longinus in Gabriel's hand, which is a real artifact.
Well...... That thing seems to really have the power of fate, so don't want it, so as not to be caught.
A few hours later, a private jet arrived at Wayne Businesses in Los Angeles.
Because Bruce had said in advance that he would keep a low profile, only a few people knew that Bruce Wayne had come to Los Angeles.
After leaving the gate of Wayne Enterprises, Konstantin glanced at the Wayne Building behind him with some pity.
If he had the support of Wayne Enterprise, then he would not need to be in danger at all now, but unfortunately the head of the Wayne family is not very good.
But it's the head of the Wayne family, Konstantin doesn't believe that Bruce Wayne doesn't have any security power, as long as Bruce Wayne is safe, then he must be safe.
"Hehe, let's go, I'll take you to see our world."
Konstantin laughed, then took out his phone and called his driver and apprentice.
It didn't take long for an old yellow car to appear in front of the three of them, and a young man with an innocent face said.
"Are you the helpers Konstantin found? Hello, my name is Klemer, Chasklemer. ”
Bruce nodded silently, while Xia Yu looked curiously at this young man, who has always been controversial in the film.
Because at the end of the film, he is killed by Gabriel, but in the easter egg of the film, he is resurrected as an angel and flies high in the sky with wings.
As a result, many believe that Chaskremer was a hybrid angel from the beginning, secretly sent by God to be by Constantine's side to guide him on the right path.
But judging from his performance in the film, it seems that Chas has always been a mortal, and the real bastard cannot be killed, but can only be sent away, so it is also possible that God elevated him to an angel after his sacrifice.
What the final explanation is, then it can only be seen by the benevolent and the wise.
"Hey, man, what are you doing in a daze, get in the car."
Xia Yu, who was interrupted from thinking, came back to his senses, nodded his head and got into the car at the same time, regardless of whether he was an angel or not, anyway, he didn't show special abilities in the whole film, so he should be treated as a mortal.
