Chapter 961: Constantine's End (Part 1)

Constantine, who was lying on the cliff, was stunned there, but at this time, Zatanna rushed up quickly.

Just now, when Batman wanted to jump down, she wanted to stop him, but she was a step slower and failed to stop him.

Zatanna ran to the edge of the cliff and dragged the stunned Constantine back. Just as she was dragging Constantine back, she suddenly found that Constantine's body was shining with a faint light.

Zatanna said in surprise: "What's wrong? Why are you glowing? Oh, God! The wounds on your body are healing!"

Accompanied by that faint light, the scars that penetrated into his soul and spread all over Constantine's body disappeared little by little.

Including some scars that looked like cuts, burns, or missing a piece and then sewn back, they were constantly healing.

But Constantine seemed to be crazy, his whole body was shaking, he shouted loudly: "No! No! You can't leave me! You can't go... You can't go... You are part of my soul!!"

"Lobo... Tanzan... Astra! Astra!" Constantine grabbed his arm, shaking and screaming like epilepsy. Zatanna didn't know what was wrong with him, so she could only try to hold him down and asked, "Who is Astra? What are you shouting about?"

"A little girl... I killed her, she was dragged into hell... Just like today, I didn't... I didn't catch her..." Constantine's language system became a little confused, he said: "And Lobo... Walker, he was taken out of his heart by the devil because of me, this is the mark he left..."

Constantine covered his chest again, but when he took his hand away, he found that there was nothing there, so he screamed again.

Zatanna couldn't understand why Constantine suddenly went crazy. She could only try to persuade him: "Don't be like this, John! John! Look at me, relax, this is a good thing..."

"The disappearance of these scars means that those demons will no longer haunt you. After all the sins you committed and the traces left by magic disappear, you can return to a peaceful life. Isn't this what you have been persuading me?!"

"No..." Constantine said tremblingly: "You don't understand, you don't understand... They are the reason for my survival, these scars are the reason for my survival... "

Zatanna shook her head vigorously and said, "You are crazy. I know you are very sad about them falling, but it doesn't matter. We can still find a way to save them. You have been to hell before!"

"As long as you pay enough, the devils will be willing to let them go, but you must calm down and think about where to start to save them... Constantine!" Zatanna grabbed Constantine's shoulders, looked into his eyes and said:

"Ironical magic is my innate ability, and I don't have to pay a price for it, so I don't know how to deal with the devil at all. This matter is just Only you can do it, so now, only you can save Bruce and Schiller! Can you calm down? ! ! "

At the end of the words, Zatanna was already roaring, but Constantine was not moved at all. He lowered his head and said with his hands on the ground:

"I have killed many of my friends and innocent people. Each of them will leave a scar on my soul and bring me endless pain..."

"But it is this pain that allows me to survive and makes me realize that I am paying the price for my filthiness, evil and ingratitude..."

"Physical pain can make I am free from the blame in my heart. Whenever I feel guilty, pain is my antidote. Whenever I feel that life is worse than death, I feel that I have paid back to those victims..."

"So, I can never be cured... Stop! Stop!" Constantine stood up like crazy, as if he saw some illusion, waving his arms and shouting: "Get out! Get out! Don't come near me!!!"

Zatanna had to hug him hard, but after the scars disappeared, Constantine's soul power became more full, and Zatanna couldn't stop him at all.

Constantine staggered to the edge of the cliff and almost fell down. Zatanna had no choice but to reach out and point at Constantine, saying: "Don't stop!"

A beam of light flew to Constantine and immediately fixed him, but within a few seconds, Constantine showed signs of breaking free. Zatanna cursed and then added another magic.

She grabbed Constantine's soul and looked at the hell below the cliff. She hesitated for a moment, but still summoned a fire circle portal and took Constantine away from here.

Constantine kept struggling and cursing along the way, and Zatanna had to add a binding magic every once in a while. When they returned to the Batcave along the spirit world, Zatanna was already tired and out of breath.

Standing there for a while, looking at Constantine who was about to break free, Zatanna picked up his soul and forced it back into his body, and then returned to her body and woke up.

But just after waking up, Constantine jumped up from the sofa like a dying fish, and then began to scream. Zatanna held him down again and asked, "What are you screaming for?!!!"

Zatanna pressed Constantine's shoulders, and Constantine's struggle made his shirt a little messy. Looking through the collar, Zatanna exclaimed, "Oh my God! The scars on your body have disappeared!"

Constantine became a little dazed. Zatanna held his face and looked at his appearance carefully, then said with some doubts, "No, not only the scars have disappeared, you seem to have become younger?"

"I remember you said last time, how old are you? 35 or 36? But before, you looked like 45 years old..." Zatanna reached out and gently touched Constantine's eyelids, then said, "You really have become Younger, now looks like just 30 years old.

Zatanna thought for a moment, then said: "All your debts have been paid off, including the life you once gave, so the scars on your soul and body have disappeared, and your age has also recovered."

Zatanna stretched out her hand, a little light flashed on her fingertips, and then gently touched her forehead. Her eyes flashed with a crystal luster. When she looked at Constantine again, she said in shock: "Jesus! John, you are incredibly healthy now, and your soul activity is stronger than any magician I have ever seen..."

When Constantine heard the word magician, it was as if a switch was touched. He suddenly jumped up from the ground, knocking Zatanna off balance, and then he reached into the pocket of his windbreaker with a trembling arm and took out two crumpled spells.

He concentrated and swung the spell again and again, but there was no response. Suddenly, he turned his head and stared at Zatanna with burning eyes and said: "Magic materials...Give me some magic materials!! I know you have them!!!!"

"Do you want to use magic?" Zatanna got up from the ground, then snatched the two spells from Constantine's hand and said: "You often taught me not to abuse magic and not to believe in magic too much. How come you forget it now when it's your turn?!"

"John, don't you understand the current situation?" Zatanna put her hands on Constantine's shoulders and said: "You don't have any debts! You are a normal person now!"

"That is to say, you will no longer be harassed by any demons or angels, and you can live a peaceful life!"

Zatanna stared at Constantine's eyes, a trace of sadness between the eyebrows, and said: "Although my attitude towards magic is not as pessimistic as yours, I also know that this is a river that you can never get rid of once you set foot in it."

"When we were young, we all got our trouser legs wet because of ignorance. All magicians in this world are like this. Once they use magic once, they can no longer avoid the curse of being haunted by nightmares."

"As long as you step into this circle, you will eventually fall into a vicious cycle of debts and debts until your soul falls into hell."

"But now...but now!" Zatanna said excitedly: "You jumped out of this cycle! Constantine! You are the luckiest magician in the world, and you have a chance to start over!!"

"As long as you never touch magic again, you will never repeat it again Such a mistake has been made! You are free! "

Constantine's eyes were a little dull, but he still shook his head slowly, then looked down at Zatanna and said: "Give me the spell materials..."

"No, I won't give it to you." Zatanna slowly stepped back two steps and said: "That would harm you. Although I like to use magic myself, I will never teach others to use magic. That would drag an innocent person into the water, including you."

"As for Bruce and Schiller..." Zatanna took a deep breath and said: "I will find a way to find someone in the family and let them contact the devil in hell to see if they are willing to bid."

"Both of their souls have special features. None of the devils will be willing to let go. Once the stalemate occurs, there is a possibility of negotiating terms. As for you, John, you should It's time to go home. "

"Don't go! Zatanna! Don't go!" Constantine stood there, looking at Zatanna's back, begging: "Stay here, accompany me..."

Hearing Constantine's trembling voice, Zatanna clenched her fists, but she stopped. She walked back and looked at Constantine and said: "You are an ordinary person now, John, you have a new life, you should be happy about it."

Constantine shook his head and said: "You don't understand, Zatanna, it's not that I don't have the ability to pay off those debts. You should know that there are too many ownerless things in the universe. If I collect them with my heart, I may not be able to satisfy everyone. "

"But I don't want to do that, and I'm borrowing more and more. My purpose is not to borrow power from them, but the consequences of not paying back the debt."

"The devils will find ways to collect debts, including torturing my body, whipping my soul, and letting me experience endless punishment in nightmares, but that's exactly what I need..."

Constantine showed a sad expression and said, "I am not the person you imagine, who can kill a friend with a clear conscience and feel no guilt at all."

"Only the pain in reality can make me escape this guilt..." Constantine took a deep breath, leaned against the wall, and slowly sat down. He covered his face with both hands and said in an extremely painful voice:

"But Schiller... my good friend, he saw this in his interactions with me."

"So, he used the most straightforward method to eliminate these pains, so that I could no longer escape , this is my old debt..."

"He expected all this!" Constantine's knuckles turned slightly white, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He knew that as long as he jumped, Batman would definitely jump too!"

"The one who wanted to save me and the one who really saved me fell into hell together. This will be a new debt that is more difficult to repay than all the old debts added together..."

"Old debts cannot be avoided, and new debts are difficult to repay..."

"Am I saved?" Constantine looked up at Zatanna and said in a desperate tone:

"No, I will never be saved."
