Chapter 960: Schiller's Blade (Part 2)

"Okay, let me see what I should do first." In the dim basement, Constantine sat in the middle of the room, looking at the messy spell materials around him, touching his chin and said, "Should I summon the Green of All Things first and let him change the broccoli back, or should I find Schiller first and save him?"

At this time, Constantine thought of Schiller's previous reaction. He sighed and said, "It seems that I should read more books. It turns out that allergic reactions can be so serious. I thought that at most I would just complain a few words."

"But it's true, just like I don't like sweet wine. If there is only one glass, I can pretend not to see it, but if I soak in a pool of sweet wine, I might go crazy... Forget it, let's solve the problem of broccoli first, otherwise, I don't know how Schiller, that petty guy, will retaliate against me."

After speaking, he stood up and began to pick and choose among the spell materials, intending to set up a summoning array to summon the Green of All Things, cancel the contract they had previously made, and let him change the broccoli back.

But at this moment, with a "bang", the door of the basement was kicked open. Constantine was startled and stepped back silently. Seeing that the person coming was Batman, he breathed a sigh of relief, touched his chest and said, "It's you, you scared me, I thought the devil came again."

"But seriously, can you open the door gently next time? Fortunately, I didn't set any traps on the door this time, otherwise, you might be bounced into the Pacific Ocean." Constantine shook his head and walked back to the center of the room, but at this time, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

He looked at Batman standing in the dark. Constantine, who had a super high spiritual perception, saw the terrible black tide behind Batman.

He silently took two steps back, leaned against the wall, looked at Batman and said, "What's wrong? Bruce, you...are you in a bad mood?"

"Find Schiller's location." Batman's voice was low and hoarse, he said: "Find Schiller's location as quickly as possible."

Constantine was a little nervous, but he still pointed to the pile of spell materials on the ground and said, "Oh, yes, I'm trying, I'm planning to summon the Green of All Things to solve the broccoli problem."

"I mean to find Schiller's location." Batman repeated it again, Constantine frowned and said, "Even if you want Save him from the agents, but you have to get rid of his allergens first, otherwise, even if he can return to the manor, won't he still feel uncomfortable? "

"I caused the broccoli incident, I will be responsible for cleaning up this mess. Later, I will be blackmailed by the Green of All Things. Let me see who will pay the bill this time?"

Constantine wanted to focus on the pile of materials on the ground, but the next second, he heard the whistling of the wind in his ears. He turned around and saw a flash of light. A bat dart was embedded in the gap between the bricks behind him, less than two centimeters away from his ear.

"Batman! What are you doing?!" Constantine screamed, "You almost cut off my ear!!!!"

"Okay, I know you're angry. I shouldn't have used so much broccoli to make Schiller allergic, but I didn't know that his allergic symptoms were so severe. It was just an accident, and there is still room for recovery. There's no need for you to kill me, right?"

"Hurry up and find Schiller's location." Batman repeated it again, and then he said, "Schiller is seriously injured. Only you can find him as quickly as possible. Hurry up."

Hearing the tremor in Batman's last voice, Constantine frowned. He frowned and his face gradually became serious. He walked up to Batman and asked, "You mean, Schiller was injured, and those agents dared to hurt him?"

Seeing Batman's face, Constantine didn't ask any more questions. He immediately began to prepare the materials for the spell, and said while fiddling with them, "I think. You should have discovered before that the fastest way for magicians to find people is to go through the spirit world."

"In the spirit world, we can directly locate people's souls and ignore the obstacles in reality and pass through them at the fastest speed." Constantine arranged some branches into a circle, and then brought some spices.

"However, only souls can walk in the spirit world, and ordinary souls cannot interfere with the real world." Constantine handed Batman a bottle of spice and said, "However, as long as you attach some extra power to your soul, you can also make it temporarily have a physical body. With your soul strength, you only need a little magic energy to beat all those ordinary agents down."

"Okay, get ready." Constantine stood in the circle, and Batman also walked in. Constantine squatted down, pressed his five fingers on the ground, and prepared to release energy into the material, but after squatting there for a few seconds, he made a puzzled "Huh???"

He took his hand back, took a few deep breaths, lit another cigarette, and then said, "You just made me too nervous, and the magic energy didn't run smoothly. It doesn't matter, let's try again."

After that, Constantine squatted on the ground again, with his five fingers touching the ground, but after a few seconds, there was still no response. Constantine changed his hand, changed his posture, and changed all the spellcasting materials, but it still didn't work.

He stood there in a daze and said, "What's going on? Why can't my magic work?"

He looked at his hands in disbelief, and exerted force on his arms, but no light appeared. He closed his eyes and began to meditate on various demonic patterns, but there was still no response.

At this moment, he was even more flustered than Batman. He immediately looked at Batman and said, "Something happened. Something must have happened in the occult world. Come on, let's go find Zatanna. She should know what's going on."

After saying that, without waiting for Batman to move, he rushed out the door, but soon ran back and said, "Where did you hide Zatanna? Take me to her!"

But soon, he reacted and said, "If you want to save Schiller, then Zatanna is the only answer. Even if the spirit world and magic energy can't be used, she can still tell fortunes and will definitely be able to give us Schiller's location."

The two left the basement, went upstairs, and took the Batcopter back to the Batcave. Zatanna Zatanna was playing cards out of boredom. Seeing the two of them coming back in a hurry, she looked them up and down with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you two? Why do you look a little bad?"

"Xiao Zatanna, come on, see if your magic can still be used?" Constantine said anxiously. Zatanna was confused by his question. She stretched out her hand, pointed at Constantine, and said, "Come on!"

Constantine was instantly hung upside down. Zatanna shrugged and said, "Isn't this fine? What are you crazy about, Constantine?"

Constantine fell from mid-air and fell to the ground, but he had no time to tidy up his clothes. Instead, he immediately took out a talisman from his pocket.

He shook it hard, and the talisman made a "pop" sound, but there was no reaction and it was not ignited. He shook it hard again, and the talisman still did not react. Finally, he kept shaking the talisman, causing the paper talisman to break directly. Constantine looked at the paper on the ground in disbelief.

At this time, Zatanna also realized that something was wrong. She walked forward with some doubts, looked at Constantine and said, "What's wrong with you? Is the magic not working?"

Ignoring the distraught Constantine, Batman stepped forward and said to Zatanna, "Take me to Schiller. He may be in trouble."

"Schiller is in trouble?" Zatanna immediately became alert and said, "What's going on? Did the group of black magicians attack him?"

"No, it's the FBI agents. They took Schiller away and injured him. Schiller may be seriously injured. If we can't find him immediately, his life may be in danger."

Zatanna frowned and said, "Okay, there are two ways to use magic to find people, either go to the spirit world or use divination to locate."

"The advantage of going to the spirit world is that it is fast. We can directly track the breath of the soul, and there is no need to worry about it. Ignoring all obstacles in reality, going directly to the target location, but additional magic is needed to interfere with reality, while divination positioning tracks directly in reality. Although the speed is slow, it does not require additional energy. "

"Go to the spirit world." Batman immediately said: "I will compensate you for the extra energy you have spent, let's go now."

Hearing Batman's tone, Zatanna turned her head and looked at him, then looked into his eyes and said: "Bruce, what's wrong with you? Do you remember the first time we met? You have become very similar to that time."

"Your soul is feeling sad and anxious, and it is on the verge of collapse. You can't go on like this. Relax... relax..." Zatanna stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Batman's eyes. The halo of magic made Batman's spirit stretch a little, without breaking the string in his brain.

Zatanna did not use the spellcasting materials to go to the spirit world like Constantine, but directly let the other two sit on the chair. After her body lit up, the three souls left their bodies as before and came to the misty spirit world.

Zatanna took the lead and guided the direction. They flew for a while, and Batman felt that they passed through the building, then through the ground, came to the underground, and then came to the ground again.

The soul traveled between the streets, and the moment they stopped, the most unacceptable scene for Batman appeared in his vision.

At the end of the alley was a red telephone booth, just like every old telephone booth in Gotham, the red paint was peeling off, and the glass was covered with thick dust.

A figure leaned against the side wall of the telephone booth, and blood stained the floor of the telephone booth red, flowing along the open door of the telephone booth into the rain outside.

There was a huge wound on the side of his neck, and the strips of cloth wrapped around the wound could not stop the blood from flowing out at all, and the dark suit was all dyed dark red.

It can be seen very clearly that one of Schiller's arms has fallen down weakly, and the other arm is on his shoulder, as if he wants to press the wound, but there is no doubt that he has no breath.

Batman was stunned in disbelief.

Zatanna also showed a sad expression. She patted his shoulder and said, "My condolences. I think he will... Wait a minute, Bruce, I remember you told me about the law of blood coagulation. Judging from the degree of blood coagulation in his body, he should have died not long ago?"

Batman was completely unmoved, but Zatanna said anxiously: "Since he just died, where is his soul? His soul should stay where it is? If we can find his soul, maybe we can still save him!"

Batman immediately turned his head to look at her, but Zatanna had already floated around the phone booth and began to look for Schiller's soul. Batman also followed her. Zatanna explained while searching:

"Ordinary people's souls will not be taken away so quickly. They are not so attractive, so there will be no special demons or angels to take them. They usually stay where they are for 24 hours or even longer."

"Judging from the blood coagulation, this professor may have just died for less than an hour. He is not Constantine. Before he died, there were a group of demons and angels waiting beside him. Demons and angels also have to hurry. How could they come so quickly?"

"Where is he?!" Batman asked rather frantically: "Where is his soul?!!!"

"Don't worry." Zatanna said while searching: "It must be nearby. He has no magic power to support him. It was impossible to float too far, maybe it was attached to the surrounding items ... No, no ... "Suddenly, Zatanna shook his nose. He said," I smelled the devil's breath. Ding spit out a name: "Hell's edge." "Hell edge!" Zadanna raised his tone and said, "Yes, yes, we should indeed go to the edge of hell. There is the junction of the human world and hell, and it is not the regional jurisdiction!" Constantin then said: "If we can intercept the demon there. "Hope" "Go now." Batman stared straight at Zadanna, and Zhaathan hesitated, but he still stomped, "Okay, I will send you." The next second, she waved and summoned a fire circle. Three souls flew into the fire circle. Soon, the three came to the dark space. This is a black barren land. Constantine pointed in a direction and said, "This is the direction to hell. We have to catch up with them and must take the shortest route."

Several people rushed in that direction, surrounded by the unchanging gray scenery.

Suddenly, a ray of fire appeared in front of them. Batman looked carefully and found that there was no way forward. On the distant skyline, there was a river of magma pouring down from the sky.

They were at the foot of the cliffs, and in front of them was a huge cliff. The towering cliff was more majestic against the backdrop of the magma.

"Hell is in front of us." Constantine said, "Jump off this cliff and you will reach hell. Be careful later. Don't fall down or be pulled down by the devil's hand."

"Wait a minute, who is that?... Schiller! Schiller!!!"

Accompanied by Constantine's shouting, Batman saw a black shadow standing at the top of the huge cliff.

Against the backdrop of huge cliffs and rolling rivers of magma, Schiller's figure looked very small, but also very great.

Constantine saw countless ghost hands stretching out from hell, desperately stretching upwards, trying to grab Schiller.

At this time, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the dim sky on the edge of hell, a holy light pierced through the dark clouds, and countless white arms stretched out from the holy light, trying to touch Schiller's cheek.

Constantine suddenly found that no matter whether it was heaven or hell, he was very familiar with every figure that came here, they were all his former creditors.

At this time, Schiller's voice echoed at the junction of heaven and hell:

"Today, I invite everyone here, I just want to announce one thing, I know that my good friend Constantine owes you a lot of debts, and he doesn't intend to pay it back."

"But it doesn't matter, just now, I died."

"I believe you should be able to see a lot of things in my soul, that is the sin or salvation you have been longing for."

As his voice fell, Schiller's soul was in flames.

Amidst the raging fire, a tower that pierced the sky appeared on the cliff at the edge of hell. There were countless sins and good deeds, countless stories of grudges, which made all the devils and angels crazy.

Schiller's figure appeared again, and then he turned his back to all the devils and angels, opened his arms, and the fire behind him outlined his outline.

He stood on the top of the cliff, looking down at all the visitors, like a king who was about to be crowned. The first words he said made the earth and heaven tremble at the same time.

"I will use my soul to pay off all Constantine's debts."

"From now on, what he wants will be satisfied, and what keeps him awake at night will eventually dissipate."

"He will get rid of the fate that is destined to be restless, get rid of the evil that he was born with, and he will - get a new life!"

After Schiller finished speaking, Constantine was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the cliff in a somewhat crazy manner, while Schiller took a step back, came to the edge of the cliff, and looked at Constantine quietly.

Constantine looked at Schiller's gray eyes, shook his head, and said instinctively:

"No..."

Schiller opened his arms and slowly fell back. Constantine threw himself on the edge of the cliff, but his outstretched arms did not touch anything.

Constantine lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The flames of hell were burning fiercely. Above the flames, in the alternation of light and shadow, Schiller's figure was like a falling goose on the skyline.

"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Constantine's roar broke through hell.

At this moment, Constantine felt a shadow passing over his head.

Batman jumped from the edge of the cliff and fell into the abyss, just like when he flew down from the attic in the cold night, light and light, but with a force of ten thousand pounds.

At this moment, Constantine saw that Schiller, who was falling, had a crazy and smug smile on his face.

The savior who once sincerely wanted to save him and now offered his soul to pay off all his debts fell into hell in front of him.

Constantine felt that a sharp blade pierced his heart directly.

Accurate, elegant, and fatal.
