Chapter 299: The Three Detectives (Part 3)

Batman walked into the room first, followed by Gordon. The situation in the room was indeed very strange. In addition to Schiller standing in the middle holding an umbrella, the blond man who looked like he was overindulging in sex had a black book floating in his hand. Jason, Dick, and Sly were at the back of the room, sitting on the ground. On the right side of the room was a strange altar.

Just after they came in, Schiller walked to the demon that he had slapped against the wall, looked at him and said, "Is this Mrs. Sanchez?"

Gordon said with a puzzled look on his face, "Mrs. Sanchez? Isn't she dead?"

Constantine walked to the monster, and a chain flew out of the book in his hand, imprisoning the monster. Gordon turned his head and looked at the children lying on the ground, saying, "Can anyone explain to me what is going on?"

"Okay." Schiller raised his voice, then knocked on the ground with an umbrella and said, "Come on, tell me one by one, starting with you."

As he said that, he pointed to Jason and Dick. Dick looked at the umbrella in front of him that could directly slap the monster against the wall and couldn't get it off. He swallowed his saliva and started to tell the story obediently.

"... Two days ago, I came to this school. On the first day, everything was normal. I packed my luggage and went to sleep, but because I changed my bed, I couldn't sleep. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw that my roommate had injuries on his back..."

"When I woke up in the morning, I asked him what happened, but he showed a very scared expression and said nothing. I was a little suspicious, so I paid attention and found that many students seemed to have injuries..."

"I think someone must be abusing them. During the daytime class, one of my classmates was not concentrating when praying, so the teacher said that he had to go to the confessional. He showed a very scared expression. I think they must have abused him in the confessional."

"So, I also deliberately made a small mistake and let them put me in the confessional..."

"Then what?" Batman asked.

"...A woman came in and said her name was Mrs. Sanchez, and she was the principal of this school. She threatened me a lot, such as even though I was the adopted son of the Wayne family, I had to obey here, otherwise she would make me look bad..."

"I asked her if she abused those children, but this seemed to anger her. She said that those disobedient children should be hanged..."

"Then she beat me with a pointer, and the wounds left were exactly the same as those of my classmates. That damn woman is a sadist, she..."

Before Dick could continue, Batman walked up to him and lifted up his clothes. Dick had many scars on his back and waist, which were very recent. The scars were very deep, and some were even a little swollen. It was dark, and Batman's face began to look a little ugly, but Dick didn't care much. He continued:

"The woman wanted to continue beating me, but someone called her outside and said that Mr. Cooper was looking for her, so she left..."

"I thought, I have to expose her true identity and rescue my classmates, so I took advantage of her leaving, pried open the door lock of the confessional, and secretly followed her..."

"She and Mr. Cooper's meeting place was on the fourth floor. I'm pretty good at it. I climbed up the water pipe to the balcony, and then eavesdropped outside their room window..."

Dick pursed his lips and said in a tone of disbelief: "I heard that Mrs. Sanchez and Cooper had a deal."

"What deal?"

"It seems Yes, Cooper's son died, and he always wanted to revive his son, and Mrs. Sanchez was a witch. They said they made a deal with the devil... Anyway, Cooper gave Mrs. Sanchez a lot of money, and then Mrs. Sanchez helped Cooper revive his son..."

"They said it seemed like they had to sacrifice children to the devil or something, and as long as a certain number of children were sacrificed, they could pull Cooper's son's soul back from hell. Anyway, they said a lot of terms I didn't understand, which was probably... "

"I thought they were mentally ill because it sounded too much like nonsense, but later. They quarreled, and Mrs. Sanchez could make things in the room fly. I was shocked and accidentally made a noise. "

"Mrs. Sanchez immediately She noticed me, but luckily I ran fast and was not caught by her immediately. I know that if what they said is true, then all the students in this school may be in danger. Mrs. Sanchez wants to sacrifice them all to the devil. I must stop this..."

"What about you? How did you two get here?" Schiller looked at Jason and Little Slippery. Jason and Little Slippery looked at each other and said, "Originally. We stayed in Batman's base. It was pretty good there, but it was a bit boring after staying there for a long time..."

"Before, our friend Tire told us that boarding schools are prisons for children. Although he said that this boarding school in the north is different, we are still a little worried. Anyway, we are free, so we want to come and see how Dick is..."

Dick covered his forehead helplessly and said, "I originally wanted to find a chance to slip out and contact Batman, but they sneaked into the school and were caught by the key manager."

"Mrs. Sanchez seemed to be in need of a sacrifice, so she locked them in the basement. I have to find a way to save them..."

"Speaking of the key manager." Gordon scratched his head in confusion and said, "Where is he? Why didn't I see him downstairs? He shouldn't leave so fast, right?"

"Obviously, he is in the same group with this demon. Didn't you notice that he has been trying to take us to the seventh floor?"

"Uh..." Gordon paused and said, "So the seventh floor is a trap? But how did they know we would come?...Oh, they called the police, so they deliberately called the police to trick people here, and then took them to the seventh floor to kill them, but what's the point of doing this? Does Mrs. Sanchez have a grudge against the police?"

"She wants to sacrifice You, replenish her own strength, because she knows she can't beat me. "

Constantine lit a cigarette, but in an instant, the cigarette in his hand was knocked out and nailed to the wall by a bat mark. Batman looked at him and said, "Didn't you see there are children here?"

Constantine made a helpless expression and said, "Okay, next is my story."

"I won't introduce who I am. Anyway, my previous residence was a mental hospital, but I was wronged. I am not a mental patient. I was locked up in a mental hospital for various reasons."

"A few days ago, a gangster named Harry Cooper pulled me out of there in order to let me use mystical methods to revive his son."

"Wait, didn't Dick just say that Cooper was looking for Mrs. Sanchez to revive his son?"

"Obviously, the person he found was not very capable." Constantine glanced at the monster chained to the wall.

"Cooper told me that the man he had found before was greedy and he couldn't afford the price he wanted, so he planned to change someone."

"Cooper told me that the wizard he had found before provided a method of sacrificing thirteen children's souls to the devil in hell on the night of the full moon, and then he could get his son's soul back."

"When I heard this method, I knew who he was looking for."

Constantine glanced at the monster again and said, "There is a branch of witchcraft that specializes in practicing with the help of children's souls. I generally call this branch "ghost mother", and as far as I know, there is only one ghost mother in the current mystical circle, and that is Laurena Sanchez."

"When I heard that Cooper actually found her, I almost laughed my head off. Laurena is simply a liar! She certainly knows that sacrificing the souls of many children will not be able to pull Cooper's son's soul back from hell, and no one can snatch their food back from the devil."

"But that Cooper is an outsider who only knows a little bit of fur. He believed Laurena's words and not only gave her a lot of money, but also arranged for her to become the principal of a boarding school so that she could take action against those children. "

"After I learned all this, I certainly wouldn't let her succeed, so I found Laurena and asked her to stop her fraud and leave here."

"She said she would consider it, but secretly, she set traps and altars in this school, just to wait for me to make trouble, so that she could hit me head-on."

"Sure enough, after I came, she used the altar to summon the shadow of the devil, attached it to her, and turned into the monster now..."

"So how did Cooper die?"

"He was cursed by Laurena because he refused to provide Laurena with funds and no longer trusted her. This kid also said before that Cooper and Laurena had a big fight. After they separated, Laurena should have used a spell to curse him. "

"Do you have anything to do with the recent serial murders in Gotham?" Batman stared at Constantine and asked.

"Serial murder case?" Constantine was stunned for a moment and said, "Whatever it is, I don't know. I've only been in Gotham for a few days..."

"Constantine, do you know..."

Schiller turned around and walked to the opposite side of Constantine. Constantine also looked at Schiller and said, "...What?"

Schiller lowered his head, slowly slid his hand down from the umbrella handle, and then held the middle part of the umbrella with both hands.

With a "bang", Constantine was knocked down by the upturned umbrella handle. He lay on the ground. Before he fainted, he saw Schiller with his back to the light, sticking the umbrella on the ground, and said:

"I don't believe a word you said."
