The Death Knell

Constantine raised his hand calmly, took out the cigarette in his mouth and flicked the ashes. The evening wind in London carried the gray embers flying into the distance.

"I didn't provoke anyone and I didn't offend anyone. If the Justice League beat me up in the street, would that be justified?"

"You know why we are looking for you." Su Ming tightened his arm, and the arm armor was so tight that Zha Kang couldn't turn back.

"Oh? What's the matter? I don't know." Constantine looked calm and put the cigarette back into his mouth: "San Gong ran out again? Yes, I summoned him. Although he is a demon king, he wants to see me You have to allow your daughter to visit relatives, right?"

"That's not right." Barbatos' dark power is like a tide that floods the world. If the magician didn't sense it, he would be lying.

"So it's about the witch? Although she lost control and killed many people, and also injured Superman and Wonder Woman, isn't that over? I was at the scene, but the whole thing had nothing to do with me, really .”

"That's not right either."

Su Ming turned around. This guy hadn't taken a shower for who knows how long. He looked like someone who had come out of a garbage dump. He smelled like spoiled food.

"Then you are talking about the rain of corpses from the sky? Let me tell you, then you should go to Madam Xanadu. Although in view of my friendship with her, I provided magic rituals and props, but my magic is useless. , she did it all, I can take you to catch her and provide free assistance."

"wrong."

"Huh? What about zombies in London's mirror space?"

"wrong."

"Then...the vampire rebellion?"

"no."

"What happened to the missing Gun of Longinus?"

.............................

Barry covered his head and listened to the supernatural words coming out of Constantine's mouth full of yellow teeth. He didn't feel strange at all. Although Zha Kang emphasized that these things had nothing to do with him, he knew that he was indispensable if he thought about it.

The biggest weakness of the Justice League is that none of them have magic resistance. Diana is slightly better, and she has some artifacts that can resist it, but Superman's magic resistance is almost zero. In history, he has not been restrained by magic twice. This time, he never thought of making up for his shortcomings...

These mysterious matters related to magic are generally handled by several magic teams, such as the Shadow Pact that Su Ming mentioned before, the Bureau of Shadows with a semi-official background, and others including Shazam's Shazam Family, and the Wizard Boy's Ultimate Alliance. , and then there is Zha Kang’s Justice League Dark and so on.

"Stop! Who do you think I am?"

Constantine blew out a puff of cigarette and pursed his dry lips: "Who else in Zhenglian has such a dark voice? Batman, can you please stop slapping me in the face when you torture me for a while? I know Wonder Woman very well."

Was it a mistake? Su Ming doesn't think so. This guy wants to play some tricks...

He let go of his arm and patted his arm armor, which was stained with some Zha Kang's skin flakes. This guy probably hadn't washed his neck for a long time: "I'm not Batman, and I'm not looking for you for those little things."

Constantine twisted his tie and cleared his throat before turning around. When he saw Su Ming, he stiffened slightly, and then said to Barry behind him with a strange expression.

"It turns out to be Deathstroke. I'm very curious, how come you are with him?" Halfway through, he seemed to understand something and patted his forehead: "Do you Zhenglian need a magic ritual to brainwash him?" He becomes a superhero or something?”

Barry looked at his shoes and fell silent. Brainwashing and changing a person is too evil. There is no good thing about magicians.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll cut off your head." Su Ming walked up to Constantine and pulled out a section of the Vulcan Sword, making Zha Kang look scared: "Don't even think about running away, I'm wearing a full set of armor. They are all mixed with n metal, as a magician you should know what it means, you have no chance."

Seeing Constantine touch his lighter, Su Ming knew that this guy wanted to use a cover-up method to escape, and immediately spoke to dispel his idea.

Constantine had a bitter look on his face and forced out an awkward smile: "Why are you running? Didn't you say you have business? I'll just take it."

Su Ming looked into his eyes: "Barbatos Dark Dragon..."

"There's nothing I can do, I can't help, so I'm leaving." Constantine rejected him three times, turned around and wanted to walk through the door.

But he was not as fast as Barry. Su Ming tilted his head. Barry immediately understood. With a flash of lightning, Su Ming and Constantine entered the shining door together.

In just a moment, they appeared in a desolate place. In front of them was a dilapidated wooden villa. The paint was completely peeled off, leaving only the original color of the wood.

Countless years of corrosion, wind and rain have turned the wood into rotten wood. It is a miracle that the house did not collapse.

The howling wind blew from the wilderness, and all the doors, windows, and even walls of the house made a creaking sound. There are half-yellow withered grass all around, as if it has been taken away by some kind of energy. In the distance, where the sky and the earth meet, black clouds can be seen rolling.

"Oh...why are you doing this? Let's talk first. I didn't invite you here." Constantine showed a sly smile.

Su Ming didn't take it seriously, just hooked his neck and glanced at him lightly: "I knew you were planning this when you didn't close the door after you came out. This is a magic passage that is consuming all the time. Energy, your door is just for us to walk through, so of course I choose to take advantage of it. If you try any more tricks now, Barry will hit you hard on the head. Even if you want to use the House of Mystery to escape, you can't do it, because We’re all here, all in the same cage.”

"...You're being cruel, okay, I admit that I do need some help, how about we exchange it?" Constantine couldn't feel proud at all. Even he was a magician who had heard of Deathstroke. However, the legendary tactician saw through the plan, and it seemed that his own cleverness was not enough...

He could determine in advance which phone booth the two were in and open the door to teleport there. Of course, he could also know who made the call. I originally planned to trap the two of them in Limbo and threaten them myself. This wonderful space is incomprehensible to non-magic users, so I could just use a blindfold to hide them and set the conditions.

But Su Ming is not the death knell of this world. He knows far more information than he imagined and directly broke his plan. This makes Zha Kang worried that the death knell has been prepared. And when the death knell is prepared, it can be said that the earth One of the scariest people in the world.

In fact, it's not that Deathstroke is smarter than Batman, but that Su Ming knows too well what Zha Kang is, and he has been wary of it since before they met...

"Let's go, this is the House of Mystery. It is located on the cross-section of all time and space, and is the transit station leading to Limbo." Su Ming pulled Zha Kang towards the dilapidated building and looked at the strange man carved on the door. Face, speaking in a positive tone.

"Oh, do you understand?" Constantine showed an expression of appreciation on his unshaven face, as if to show off, and explained to the confused Barry: "Limbo is the space between heaven and hell. Fault, after people die, if their merits are not enough to go to heaven and their sins are not enough to go to hell, their souls will live in Limbo.”

"Then...is there a ghost here?" Barry's face wrinkled. As a scientist, he hates things that science cannot explain the most.

Constantine held the cigarette, turned his head and blew out yellow spit: "Yes, did you see the dark clouds on the horizon? Those are ghosts."

"This..." Barry only felt his scalp itching, and the black cloud seemed to be coming this way.

Su Ming ruthlessly interrupted Zha Kang's lies: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's just a dark cloud. Limbo Prison is no different from the outside world except for being a little more gloomy."

"Damn, can't you let me succeed once? It's rare that I can have some fun with Zhenglian."

Zha Kang rolled his eyes, but he was not slow at all. He took out the key and opened the door of the villa, making an invitation gesture to the two of them.
