Chapter 935: Deep in the Mist and Rain (X)
Constantine and Brand were both stunned. Brand looked around and said, "Did I just hallucinate? It seemed like someone was calling your name, Constantine?"
Constantine swallowed his saliva, looked at the vines gradually approaching him, took a step back and said, "Look, is this an illusion? Do you dream of plants jumping up and beating you up?!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran. All the trees, fences, and plants on the streets and alleys chased after him, wanting to attack him like crazy.
"Dr. Brand! Save me! Save your patient! Use your fire magic! I will pay double...oh, no! Triple the medical expenses!!!" Constantine shouted.
Brand flashed out of the flames, came to Constantine, and said to him: "I don't need you to pay extra medical expenses, but if I save you, you have to promise to quit your drug addiction!"
"Then you might as well let the plants eat me!!" Constantine shouted while running. The next second, he was hit on the arm by a vine. He let out a painful cry of "Ah", and then he was tripped by another plant.
The attack of the plants was so fierce that he had no time to cast a spell. When he ran to the intersection, Constantine raised his head and shouted: "Green of All Things! There must be a misunderstanding between us. No matter what you encountered, it was definitely not me!"
But the crazy plants had no intention of stopping. Constantine had to stand still and jump twice, looked around, chose the widest intersection, and ran over.
"Green of All Things! I have always been a plant protectionist! I have never harmed any plants, of course! It doesn't count when I eat! But I rarely eat vegetables, you know, my favorite is meat pie!"
"Okay! Okay! Tobacco is also a plant, but I am not the person who smokes the most in the world, how can you... I really didn't plot against you! Wait... did I?"
Constantine slowed down and thought for a while, he said: "I should... not? Although I was there when the parliament made trouble last time, it was not my fault!"
"And the one who manages the vines... what's his name? He was plotted against by the Red of All Things, what does it have to do with me?! Even if I was there, would it be wrong to watch him die without helping?!"
The attacks of the plants became more crazy, Constantine had to use the Ash Clone continuously to attract the attention of the plants. While he ran, he thought about the list of creditors in his mind.
When you have offended almost all the forces in the mystical world, it is difficult for you to determine why the person who is causing trouble today is here. When you are being troubled every day, it doesn't matter what the trouble is.
Constantine rushed into an alley. He looked back and found that the plants did not follow him. The vines meandered from the alley. Constantine just breathed a sigh of relief and heard a "rustling" sound from the back.
As soon as he turned around, a huge birch tree rose from the ground. Constantine swallowed his saliva and said, "Green of All Things, let's talk it over. I think we can talk..."
Just before the living tree went crazy, a fire ring that often appeared in the circus appeared in front of Constantine. Constantine held the talisman and gritted his teeth and said, "You are finally here!"
After that, he jumped into the fire ring. The next second, he appeared on the roof of a building in the center of Gotham. In front of him was a woman in a cloak, wearing a top hat and holding a staff. She looked like a magician.
"Oh my god, Zatanna, you saved me!" Constantine exhaled slowly and said, "I knew you were a good girl..."
Zatanna in front of Constantine rolled her eyes, crossed her arms and said, "You said I made a deal with the Green of All Things behind your back, but now, why is the Green of All Things chasing you again? Isn't it that you made a deal with him behind my back and then regretted it, just like you have always done before?!"
"Of course not!" Constantine raised his voice and said, "How could I ruin our agreed plan and go to find the Green of All Things? We all know that This kind of existence is not reliable at all!"
"Thank you for remembering our plan, which has now been messed up by you!" Zatanna waved her staff unhappily and said, "And all this is thanks to your mess!"
"I just hope our plan can be more perfect. You have been away from Gotham for too long. I don't know how many powerful people there are in this city now..."
Zatanna snorted softly and came to the edge of the building to look down. Thick fog rose from the streets and submerged most of the buildings, but the roofs of the tall buildings seemed like another world above the clouds.
Looking through the fog, the streets and alleys filled with fog, the neon lights blurred the colors, and when the bar sign lit up, Gotham was at sunset.
The bar was very lively. Constantine, who was sitting next to the bar, drank the wine in the glass. The bartender wiped the glass and smiled and said to him, "That weirdo in tights, won't come to see you?"
Constantine squinted his eyes and shook his head, saying as if he was a little drunk: "He hasn't come to see me for a long time. Perhaps he has found the answer he wants and no longer has the fluke mentality of praying to God..."
"If you ask me, he is really a weirdo."
"But he is also a beauty." Constantine asked for another glass of wine. When the bartender turned around to mix the cocktail, he said: "It's so boring to drink alone in the long night..."
The bartender smiled, handed him the wine and said: "Then you really came to the right place. The Golden Cup Bar invited a very powerful magician to perform. You should be able to see him later. He is also a beauty..."
"Magician?" Constantine curled his lips and said: "I don't have a good impression of them. They are just liars with a good reputation..."
Turning around, Constantine saw a woman wearing a cloak and a top hat. She appeared on the stage amid the cheers of the crowd, patrolled the seats of the bar, and showed everyone her empty top hat.
The next second, she took the magic wand and tapped the hat lightly. With a "crash", several bats flew out of it, and the whole place was boiling.
The female magician took out another hand of cards, turned a card flower in her hand, and walked around the field with an elegant movement, showing the cards to everyone. The next second, she threw the cards up and tapped them with the magic wand. The cards turned into fireworks and exploded, and cheers resounded throughout the bar.
Constantine coughed hard a few times, put down the wine glass in a panic, and said to the bartender: "I'm leaving first. No matter who asks you later, you must say that you have never seen Constantine..."
After that, he tightened his windbreaker jacket and walked along the edge of the bar, trying to leave through the back door of the bar, but before he could get there, the door was blocked at the door of the tool room.
The female magician just leaned against the wall, holding a top hat in one hand and a magic wand in the other, and sneered at Constantine.
"Uh, Zatanna, what a coincidence, you are here too? Your magic show is great, I have never seen such a wonderful magic show, well, I have something else to do, I'll leave first..."
After saying that, Constantine wanted to go out, but Zatanna didn't stop him, just turned the staff in her hand and said: "It's okay, of course you can leave here, but maybe tomorrow, the news that you hooked up with me in the bar and wanted to buy on credit will spread throughout the occult world..."
Constantine stopped helplessly, turned to look at Zatanna and said: "Why did you come to Gotham? It's very dangerous here, and aren't you traveling around the world for a magic show? Why are you back so soon?"
"Of course it's because of something important." Zatanna put the hat on her head and said to Constantine He tilted his head and said, "Let's talk in detail. This is a big deal."
Soon, the two sat down at the bar again. Constantine picked up the glass and asked, "What could make the genius magician Zatanna Zatara so anxious? She even found a jerk like me. Didn't you say you would never see me again?"
"John, I'm not kidding you. Don't you have a premonition? Haven't you noticed that in recent years, many people in the occult world have set their sights on Gotham. If I remember correctly, there was a ghost mother who came here before, and many members of the occult family are eyeing this place..."
Constantine remembered the ghost mother he had dealt with before, that is, Mrs. Sanchez who cooperated with the previous Gotham child king Cooper.
"I seem to have heard Mrs. Sanchez say that Gotham is special and has a special meaning to the entire occult community."
Zatanna sighed and said, "You should know that I come from a very famous magic family and have kinship with many big names in the occult community. To be honest, there has always been a saying about Gotham in the occult community. They say that there is a curse that is the most terrible in the world..."
"I don't know the scientific name of this curse, but people in the circle call it the 'Extremely Evil Curse'."
"'Extremely Evil Curse'?" Constantine narrowed his eyes and said, "The person who gave this name is so arrogant. What kind of curse can be called the Extremely Evil Curse?"
Zatanna nodded and said, "At first, when I heard this name, I also thought they were exaggerating. Curses are only It is just a small part of the mystical world. No matter how powerful it is, how powerful can it be? "
"But later, some elders I know told me that the so-called evil curse refers to a universal curse..."
"The specific manifestation of this curse is not the common curse that makes people unable to cast spells, rot all over or die directly. The evil curse can act on a certain group of people, so that everything they experience will develop in a bad direction, and they cannot escape or be reversed. "
Constantine was silent. Zatanna looked at his expression and said, "You feel it, right?"
"Gotham is indeed a city that cannot be saved. During the days I stayed here, I realized that this is the garbage can and sewer of the universe. All evil, chaos, and madness will eventually flow here. "
"As for the curse..." Constantine looked at the wine in the glass and said, "The people here don't care, they are not afraid, and even if you want to remove the curse for them, they will think you are crazy."
"But the problem is that we can't let this curse spread!" Zatanna emphasized: "Haven't you discovered yet? That group of people just want to find the source of this curse and use it to destroy the world!"
She put the glass on the table, making a "clang" sound, attracting Constantine to look over. Zatanna tilted her head and looked into his eyes and said, "I got accurate news. Many people have united and plan to come here to find out."
"Among them are frustrated black magicians, traitors who have betrayed the magic family, and marginal figures like Mrs. Sanchez who have not made any progress because of the interruption of inheritance..."
Constantine tightened his fingers holding the glass, then picked up the glass again, put it to his mouth and said, "Is the news reliable?"
Zatanna nodded and said, "You haven't been active in the mystical world recently, but if you get back in touch with your old friends, you It will know that this is spreading. "" You should know, the most famous independent magician in the mysterious academic world is the genius of your self -learning talent. Like you, most of them are not upright and their brains are not normal. " After the wine glass, I snorted coldly and said, "It's you and those families, afraid that they can use the curse of extremely evil on you?" "Zhaathan, you always do so, but I have said that magic has never been used to save the world." But the status ... "Zatanna leaned his head and said," So, do you want to help me? "" Constantine drank the wine in the cup again. He put the cup on the table, and then said, "Talk about your plan." ().
