Chapter 1495 C Twilight Event (I)
The sea breeze in Plymouth carries an indescribable salty and humid smell. Thick dark clouds cover the sky. The old ship parked in the Devonport dock is rusty. The sunset sprinkles diamonds on the waves on the sea. Through the gaps in the old sails, you can see that the splashing water is like pale fingers, etching traces on the ancient reefs.
A somewhat shabby black car stopped by the roadside. Several figures rushed into the blockhouse before the sunset. The strong smell of blood came from the gate. Jim, who broke the door, grabbed the weapon with both hands, bent his body and walked in step by step.
Red Robin looked down at the blood on the ground, then looked at the stairs and said, "They are underground."
As soon as the voice fell, Bennett turned into a bat and rushed down, and the others followed him. As soon as they rushed into the underground, they saw Kaz's shriveled body lying in the center of a mysterious magic circle.
All his blood was drained, forming a stream of blood guided by magic, flowing in one direction along the rune lines of the magic circle.
Constantine looked up and saw countless bloody fragments and mucus at the end of the magic circle, which looked like a broken egg.
"What are they hatching with Kaz's blood..." Constantine's boots made a wet sound when they stepped on the blood. He walked towards Kaz's body, but Red Robin stepped forward to stop him.
"I have forensic experience. You step back and let me check it out."
Constantine glanced at him, but still stopped. Red Robin stepped forward, turned Kaz's body over with his hands, and looked at the big hole in his chest.
"First, his heart was taken out, then all the blood in his body was drained, and even the strength in his bones and muscles was squeezed out. What exactly did the vampire named Mary want to do?"
Bennett stared blankly at the traces of eggs at the end of the room. Just as Constantine was about to ask him if he had discovered anything, Bennett said, "Do you know the difference between the secret party and the devil party within the blood clan?"
Bennett took a deep breath, and in his narration, the secrets of the blood clan for thousands of years gradually revealed a corner of the veil.
"Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, was expelled from the Garden of Eden for killing his brother. He vowed to take revenge on Adam and Eve, so he used their descendants, that is, humans, as food, sucked their blood, and deprived them of their lives."
"Cain has thirteen descendants, that is, the thirteen clans among the blood race. The blood from Cain gave them powerful strength, but they were not completely united, and some clans were even like enemies."
"In the year we call the Year of Blood, a war broke out between the thirteen clans, and they split into two factions, namely the Secret Alliance and the Demon Feast Alliance, which were later the Secret Party and the Demon Party, also known as the Secret Sect and the Demon Sect."
"The Secret Party abides by The dogma believes that he is guilty of Cain's crime of killing his brother, and he must hide during the day and move at night to keep a low profile in order to seek liberation and redemption, while the demon party believes that humans have stolen the status that the ancestor Cain should have, and they should follow Cain's orders and take revenge on humans. The struggle between the two parties has never stopped. "
"For many years, their main contradiction is whether they should be loyal to the ancestor Cain. The members of the demon party killed humans wantonly and transformed countless bloodthirsty monsters, not just to satisfy their own appetite, they are collecting life force. "
Constantine turned his head and stared at the broken egg, and asked: "······for what?" "Resurrect Cain."
"Is Cain dead?" Red Robin asked.
"No, Cain is immortal. When God punished Cain, he announced that he had left the Garden of Eden, but people could not kill him. However, the church that obeyed God's will regarded Cain as a sinner and had been expelling and sealing him.
"The most recent time should be two hundred years ago. St. William from York Minster brought a group of knights to severely injure Cain, causing him to fall into a deep sleep and no news was heard from him again."
Bennett sighed, turned to look at Constantine and said, "Remember our previous speculation about the purpose of the blood-red moon's ritual of sacrificing living people? Maybe we are all wrong. It was not the promotion ceremony of the Blood Queen Mary or any other blood race. They wanted to collect life force to resurrect Cain."
Constantine walked forward a few steps, came to the fragments of the egg, half-knelt down to check the mucus around the four pieces, and said, "Don't tell me they have succeeded."
"I'm afraid so. "Red Robin's voice came from around Kaz's body. He stood up, looked at Constantine and said, "I modified the magic circle for summoning demons. My call did not reach "Dirty Ritasha", but another demon."
"Who?" Constantine frowned. "Lilith."
Everyone present took a breath of cold air, and Constantine rushed over with a step, put his hand on Red Robin's shoulder, and looked into his pupils.
Suddenly, he turned pale, staggered back two steps, shook his head vigorously and said, "Get out, Lilith, I don't owe you anything!"
Dead Boston stepped forward and said, "Do you know how dangerous your move is? You seek answers from the mother of nightmares and darkness, and she will make you pay the price. "
"We'll talk about the price later." Red Robin came to the broken egg and said, "Lilith told me that it was her nephew who did it, and she is of the same origin as Adam in the Garden of Eden. God created Adam and her with mud. They are brother and sister, and Cain is Adam's son and Lilith's nephew."
"It's a big trouble." Constantine looked up at the runes on the ceiling and said, "I'm afraid the Second Blood War is coming. Let's go back to the Forgotten Bar. We have to gather people from the magic world and then notify the church...
Just as Constantine walked towards the door, the Dark Master Jim was stunned for a moment. He called Constantine, then raised the Night Blade and said to these people: "What's wrong, Andrea, what happened?"
"Master, come back quickly! The bar is in chaos now. The cabbage you brought back knocked down two people, but it can't handle more crazy wizards!"
"What's going on? How dare they make trouble in the Forgotten Bar? !"
"It's a big mess! The devils of hell broke their promises collectively. They took back all the power they lent to the magicians... The magic world is over! "
Everyone present was stunned. In the end, it was the dead man who reacted first. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Now all of our power does not come from the devil. Let's go back to the bar to stop the chaos first."
The master of the dark night, Jim, opened the door to Maya. Several people took a shortcut from the magic world and returned to the Forgotten Bar. As soon as they stepped into the bar, they saw a lot of magicians lying on the ground and wailing and beating cabbages jumping on the counter and waving their leaves.
Jim was anxious when he saw the chaotic situation in the bar. He completely forgot what Schiller had said before. He wanted to go back to the counter to get a box to pack the cabbages. As a result, he was hit by an uppercut against the opposite wall as soon as he approached the counter.
He screamed "Ah", then stood up dizzy and covered his nose. He took a deep breath, pointed at the cabbage and said, "Hurry up, pack it up! If this goes on, the magic world will really be over! "
Finally, Bennett turned into a bat and dodged the attack of the cabbage, knocking the cabbage back into the box. The female bartender Andrea closed the lid of the box.
"Thanks to it!" Andrea crawled out from behind the counter and said, "A group of wizards were crazy about finding the Dark Night Master. I said you were not there, and they were going to do it. Fortunately, it protected me."
"What's going on?" Jim asked Andrea with wide eyes. Andrea sighed, grabbed a wizard who was knocked unconscious by her with a bottle of wine from behind the counter and pressed him on the counter, then said, "You should ask him."
Constantine walked up and grabbed the wizard's collar, and poured the ice water in the cup next to him on his face. Soon, the bald middle-aged wizard woke up slowly.
"Oh my God, Constantine!!! "He screamed instinctively.
But before Constantine could ask, the middle-aged wizard grabbed Constantine's arm and cried to him: Constantine... Master Constantine! You have to think of a way! Those damned demons broke the contract and took back the power. Most wizards can no longer cast magic!"
"The wizards were driven out because they were unable to maintain the operation of the wizard tower. When other creditors came to the door, the lucky ones ran away, and the unlucky ones were torn to pieces. The territory of the magic family lacked the protection of the magic circle, and all kinds of demons and monsters came to the door. There was a river of blood everywhere, and there were corpses everywhere..."
The middle-aged wizard kept muttering, crying and saying: "Crazy, crazy, all crazy..."
Constantine pushed him away, slapped him aside, and then He kicked him in the stomach and said, "Is this the reason why you rushed into the neutral zone? You are a complete idiot, you deserve it!"
The middle-aged wizard who fell to the ground didn't even have the strength to get up, and could only lie on the ground and howl. Constantine took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Don't point at these cowards. Without the charity of the devil, they are not even as good as three-year-old children."
He paced in front of the bar a little irritably and said, "I should have thought of this day. How could the devil be so kind to lend power to so many people with such a low threshold?"
"They have been waiting for this day, waiting for these idiots who have adapted to the power of magic to lose their power, kneel at their feet, and beg for their torture, just for that little bit of leftovers!"
"Shame of mankind!" Constantine cursed.
"Calm down, John." The dead man with no emotional fluctuations walked up and pressed Constantine's shoulders, comforting him.
Red Robin's thoughts were as clear as ever. He said, "We must first find out the reason why the demons collectively broke the contract, preserve the remaining living forces in the magic world to deal with the possible impact, and then investigate the secrets behind all this."
"You won't have this chance."
A cold female voice sounded at the door, and a flash of lightning flashed outside the door of the Forgotten Bar. A woman with huge bat wings slowly walked into the Forgotten Bar.
"Mary!" Bennett called her name.
Mary raised her head gently. She had beautiful reddish-brown curly hair, and looked like a medieval noblewoman. She wore a long Rococo dress, just like Madame Pompadour who walked out of a painting.
She looked around and saw the magicians lying on the ground in a mess. She sneered and said, "You are unlucky, human. It seems that the devils can't stand your stupidity."
"What is going on?" Jim stared at her coldly and asked, "If you don't explain it clearly, don't think about leaving the bar alive!"
"What do you mean? The return of the great ancestor or the right choice of the devils?" Mary was fearless, and more vampires poured into the bar.
She took two steps forward, folded her hands in front of her to maintain her elegant and noble appearance, with a calm and reckless momentum, which formed a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere on the opposite side.
"Before you threaten me, do you want to see who this is?"
Mary smiled and waved her pale fingertips lightly, and two strong vampires threw a figure to the ground.
Constantine opened his eyes wide and called out her name. "Zatanna?!!!"
