Chapter 941: The Mystery of Schiller’s Past (Part 1)

"Ahhhhh... Ugh! Ugh!"

Constantine, who had just screamed, was pulled over by Batman and covered his mouth.

Schiller, who was standing by the door, turned his head. The sleeves of the straitjacket that bound his hands had long straps to fix his hands. Although Schiller's hands were fixed, the straps could move freely and whipped Constantine like a flexible whip.

After the initial shock, Constantine did not hesitate. He rolled over, crossed the bed in front of him, and then pushed the cabinet next to him hard.

The cabinet did not hit Schiller, but when the cabinet fell, the documents inside spilled out, blocking Schiller's sight. In just a few seconds, Constantine pulled Batman and rushed out of the room.

"The passage is in that room. We have to leave here through it." Batman followed Constantine and said, "That's the escape exit. Where else do you want to go?"

"Escape exit?!" Constantine raised his voice and said, "Didn't you see that I just came from there?... No, he's caught up again. Let's go downstairs first!"

After that, Constantine grabbed the handrail of the stairs, stopped the inertia of running, and then rushed down the stairs quickly.

The safety indicator light in the stairwell made the small space brighter. At this moment, Batman saw that most of Constantine's right side was stained red with blood.

Perhaps because this is a memory space, Batman did not smell the blood, but he heard Constantine's slightly heavy breathing. Obviously, his condition was not very good.

Batman's face became a little solemn, but he still quickened his pace. While running in the corridor, he looked around the scene, and then he found that in this floor, almost all the rooms were not lit, except for a tool room at the end of the corridor.

Just when Constantine wanted to rush into the tool room, Batman stopped him. He first listened carefully to the sound, then looked inside through the window of the door. He didn't find anyone or any mechanism, and then the two rushed in.

Batman touched the switch at the first time and turned off the light instantly. The two of them gave up their concentration and listened to the "clicking sound getting closer and farther away. After the sound disappeared, Constantine breathed a sigh of relief, but he also shook a few times due to exhaustion and leaned against the wall.

Batman looked through the window on the door again, looked at the corridor, and found that Schiller's figure was gone, so he turned on the light again, and then he found that Constantine had a big cut on his body, from the sternocleidomastoid muscle all the way through the chest to the waist, and a lot of blood was flowing.

"You may be wondering why the soul state can also be injured, but I want to tell you that this is not as simple as playing games." Constantine took out a cigarette from the pocket of his windbreaker. After taking a puff, he perked up and said, "Here you can get hurt and bleed, or even worse than that. "

"So what happened to you?" Batman asked.

Exhaling another puff of smoke, Constantine raised his head slightly and saw the slightly thin cigarette. Under the light, the smoke kept changing shape and finally dissipated in the air.

The light emitted by the incandescent bulb reminded him of the light ball that sucked him in when he passed through the tunnel before.

When Constantine landed, he was not as lucky as Batman. He was not born on a soft bed, but fell on the somewhat cold ground. The moment he landed, he covered his waist and screamed.

"Oh my God, I'm not old enough to do this. "Constantine sat up from the ground panting, one arm passed over his shoulder, rubbed his shoulder blade which was a little painful from the fall, and hammered his neck with the other hand, it seemed that he twisted it when he landed just now.

Looking at the light spot above his head gradually disappearing, Constantine found that he did not fall unjustly, because the light spot was at least two meters above the ground.

He thought, okay, this is Schiller, he hates everyone equally at any time, and will never miss any opportunity to make others look bad, even if it is unconscious.

Constantine stood up from the ground and sneered. He came here not to cheat Schiller's umbrella. Even if this umbrella has the effect of breaking magic, he is not interested. However, although the purpose is not the umbrella, he came here This is also an attempt to steal something.

At that time, Schiller used the magic-breaking effect of the umbrella to knock out the cursed soul parasitic on Constantine, and then absorbed it into the umbrella pole.

But Constantine knew that the cursed soul was a kind of "spirit". It needed human souls to provide it with energy for activities, and it was impossible to stay in the object forever. This is why many horror movies about horror objects always cling to their owners and are unwilling to leave.

Constantine didn't know that Schiller could go to another world, make a deal with Mephisto, get a bunch of Hydra souls, feed them to the cursed soul, and make him full for one meal and not hungry for half a year.

Constantine thought that Schiller must be using his soul energy to feed the cursed soul.

In the view of the mystical world, neither "soul" nor "spirit" can be considered evil. They are more like wild animals in nature. Foraging is their instinct. However, the soul strength of ordinary people is not enough to support the possession of some powerful spirits, so they will become weaker and weaker and eventually die.

However, Constantine knew that Schiller was extraordinary. He felt that Schiller's soul energy must be enough to feed the cursed soul. This is why he let Schiller take such a powerful spirit.

At the beginning, when the cursed soul was entangled in Constantine, it was not because of hatred that he tortured Constantine. He was just very hungry, but he couldn't find food because Constantine's soul was so broken that he couldn't eat it.

The reason why Constantine was so embarrassed was that the cursed soul and he were born in the same body, and his soul was exactly the same as his. In his soul, he couldn't find the existence of the cursed soul, so he couldn't dispel it, so the two tortured each other.

But after Schiller used the umbrella to break the situation, Constantine had other ideas. He couldn't help wanting the cursed soul, which was so powerful, but if he took it back, he still couldn't feed it.

So he thought of a good idea. Since Schiller had taken it away, he must have realized its power. So perhaps, for its power, Schiller was willing to pay his soul energy to feed it.

The cursed soul was full, so naturally it would not torment the host in a short time. If Constantine found a way to get the cursed soul back during this period of time, he would have a powerful spirit without side effects.

In the mystical world, many people would capture souls or spirits as their pets and helpers, but most of the souls or spirits that could be captured were relatively weak and could only perform reconnaissance work at most. They couldn't help much in other aspects, but the cursed soul was different.

Constantine knew how special his soul was, and a soul exactly like his could be used to deceive the demons who longed for his soul, even if he was no longer a normal human being.

In short, he wanted to use the cursed soul as bait, or as a scapegoat when he couldn't pay it back. In short, it was very useful and beneficial, and it didn't cost much. How could Constantine not want to take advantage of him?

Of course, he also knew that it was dangerous to rashly go deep into Schiller's soul, but he had one more piece of information than the other two, that is, Schiller was probably being held back by the Green of All Things.

As a genius who has never appeared in a century in the world of mysticism, Constantine could access a very high level of power. After all, from heaven to hell, no one didn't love Constantine.

In this regard, even Zatanna was a step behind him. Zatanna was just born in a noble family, so she had a wide network of contacts in the world and was well-informed, but Constantine could be called a true all-knowing person in the spiritual world.

He knew what level of existence the Green of All Things was, so when his companions were chasing him, he felt something was wrong. If the Green of All Things really wanted to deal with him, would it still need to use such old-fashioned methods as vines and plants?

Combined with the fact that the place where the Green of All Things descended was Gotham University, Constantine speculated that it was very likely that the Green of All Things had targeted the students of Gotham University. The protective Schiller directly confronted the Green of All Things, and the two had a conflict.

Zatanna didn't know Schiller, and Batman didn't know about mysticism. Constantine, who knew both sides, knew that his chance had come the moment he learned this fact.

The Green of All Things is not so easy to deal with. If Schiller wanted to confront him head-on, he would probably have to bring other personality traits in the tower.

Constantine knew that the human soul had a bandwidth limit. It was impossible to output madly to one target while pulling another network cable to output madly to another target.

So, if he went to Schiller's soul now, it would be the safest.

When this plan was formulated, the logic was relatively smooth. Constantine felt that even if he didn't find the cursed soul in Schiller's soul, or didn't successfully bring him back, there would be no problem running away.

After all, if Schiller was busy fighting the Green of All Things, he couldn't cross the entire spirit world to hunt him down. At that time, the worst that could happen was that he would hide in hell for two days.

The plan was good, but there were a few small problems when it was executed.

Constantine, who had just landed, put his hands on his waist and looked at the surrounding environment. Then he found that it seemed to be an abandoned warehouse with a large area, a high roof, and almost no light. It was empty and gloomy.

Constantine planned to walk towards the crack in the door where a ray of light was revealed, but he had just taken two steps and was tripped with a "bang".

When Constantine got up from the ground, he rubbed his arm again. The pain from the fall had not eased yet, so when he landed, he couldn't help but screamed in pain.

Just after getting up from the ground, Constantine turned his head to look at the culprit who tripped him.

But the next second, he was stunned, because in the dim light, he saw that the person who tripped him was a corpse.
