Chapter 055: John Constantine (3)
In the flying device, Batman took the opportunity to ask for information.
"I heard that you spent some time in Ravenska Asylum," Batman said.
"Are you serious? You want to invade my privacy at this moment?" Constantine seemed annoyed, this matter involved a past he didn't want to mention.
"Why not?" Batman didn't give up.
Furthermore, when he investigated Constantine, he also discovered that the other party was involved in a tragedy that year: the "Newcastle Incident."
Constantine also recalled the incident from that year under Batman's reminder, and his expression became a bit slow.
"I don't want to talk about this now, Bruce, can you stop pressuring me?"
Batman remained silent for a moment before continuing:
"Alright, I won't force you."
"But you must understand that if you want to get help from the Justice League next, this matter is something you can't avoid."
"The Justice League must ensure that their power is not used for evil."
Constantine's expression was a bit unnatural, he turned his head:
"I didn't say I needed your help."
"Then why did you involve me in this matter?"
Batman wasn't fooled by him, and if he didn't need the help of the JLA, Constantine could have left and done it alone.
But he didn't.
He took the initiative to show up in front of Batman, showing that Constantine himself is unsure of resolving this matter, so he hopes to use the power of the JLA.
But as Batman said, the JLA is willing to help the innocent, but only if it is not used by evil people.
Batman hasn't been with Constantine long enough to be sure of the man's good and evil nature.
But from the "Newcastle Incident" of that year, he realized that this matter must be related to him.
Perhaps this incident was caused by Constantine.
Sometimes it doesn't matter if a person's nature is good or evil, what matters is how they do things.
Constantine clearly has a special ability to turn good into bad.
Constantine could definitely hear the distrust in Batman's voice, he was a little embarrassed, but he intended to drag down the Justice League.
He spoke with Batman once and knew about Shazam.
Shazam's feats are well-known in the magical world, even he, a casual mage, has heard of the Asgardian's reputation.
The Council of Necromancers ruled the magical world before the old necromancers died, and that's when the Asgardian's reputation began.
He is very greedy for Shazam's Rock of Eternity, which is a holy land of magic, and the ground is filled with valuable precious materials...
To gain the trust of the Justice League, Constantine had no choice but to tell what happened back then.
Batman's assumption is not wrong. In the "Newcastle Incident," Constantine is indeed the main "culprit."
At that time, he had just learned a bit of magic, so he tried to use this ability to help a girl imprisoned by an evil magical assembly escape.
The assembly intends to sacrifice the girl to summon a demon.
As for Constantine, he used his black magic to summon a demon in advance.
Do you think it's scandalous?
This is because Constantine believes that only the devil can defeat the devil, so he used this method of fighting fire with fire.
So, unexpectedly, a catastrophe occurred.
Since he didn't cast a binding spell on the demon at that moment, the summoned demon went berserk at the Playboy nightclub.
Except for Constantine and his friend Chase, there was no one alive in the place.
Even the girl they decided to save in the beginning was taken to hell by the devil in the end.
That was the first time Constantine understood his helplessness and paid the price for his arrogance.
For the first time, he understood that magic was a miracle that had to be performed at a terrible price.
The scattered body parts in the disco and the screams of the girl before she fell into hell are Constantine's nightmares that will never disappear.
Constantine, who brutally broke the secret of his heart and showed it to Batman, finally fell silent.
He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.
"I also realized after that day, that scum like me could be born with black magic or demons or something."
"That's why I'm more willing to use their power to solve some difficult problems. I understand your scruples because I'm the same."
"If you don't plan on helping me, it's hard to say I won't cause another big mess in my own way."
Batman thought for a moment after hearing the story, then pressed a button on the flight controller.
Constantine's unfinished cigarette was sucked away by a fan-like device in the blink of an eye, and he didn't know where it went.
"Smoking is not allowed here," Batman said.
Meanwhile, Dane receives a plea from Batman through Cortana in the JLA building.
"It seems our magical consultant has encountered some problems."
He clicked on the file sent by Batman, read it for a while, and probably understood it a bit.
This is the beginning of the plot of "Constantine: City of Demons." With Batman's ability, it really can't be done.
In the original story, Los Angeles is the target of demons in an attempt to turn it into part of Hell.
This is also an attempt by the dimension of Hell to get involved in the real world.
But there are six demons who want to become agents of Hell at the same time, so there is a dispute among them.
The demon chasing Constantine tries to use him to drive out the other five contenders and take over Los Angeles.
Dane remembers that in the end, Constantine used the strategy of scaring them away.
He summoned a primitive aboriginal god and exterminated five demons before driving out the god.
In the end, he used Chas and Renee's love for children to kill the last demon.
"Cortana, help me prepare a plane."
"Okay, Dane."
With Umbrella's technological strength and their pioneering methods of gold production, their private jet is no worse than Hawkman's N-metal plane, but they generally don't use it.
