Chapter 1510 C: Twilight Event (XVI)
Gabriel, who controlled Constantine's body and rushed out of the alley, had a look of horror on his face. Before the wound he had faked could heal, two more vampire claws were added to his back and face. Claw marks from scratches.
Gabriel is an archangel after all, so he can't beat Cain, but in order to do this for Batman, he forcefully inserted the most important core fragment that sealed the angry spirit into the body he controlled. This piece Since the fragment can seal the angry spirit of God, it will definitely affect his use of power, and the result is that he is in a dilemma.
If he gave up Constantine's body and left it to Bruce, then Bruce would definitely be able to find a way to take out the core fragment and keep Constantine's body, but if he didn't give up it, he would have to stay trapped in this body and suffer. beat.
A ray of holy light formed a barrier, and traces of three sharp claws flashed out in the blood mist. With a "crash", the barrier shattered into pieces. The weak holy light disappeared almost instantly, and Constantine's body was hit again. For a moment.
Generally, the vampire's claws will only cause wounds, but Cain got the method of using blood magic from Lilith. The blood mist it condenses will penetrate into the body along the wounds, and in order to prevent Constantine's body from After collapsing and continuing to stay as a bargaining chip to threaten Batman, Gabriel also used his strength to expel the blood toxins from his body.
Distracted and distracted, after a while, Gabriel had a few more wounds on his body. The blood mist continued to invade Constantine's body, and even began to swallow Gabriel's holy light power.
Gabriel's expression full of anger and fear was frozen in the picture. The dim lights in the theater made the picture brighter. The rows of seats extended back, and two people sat in the center of the last row. A familiar figure.
One of them is the arrogant Schiller, and the other is an old gentleman wearing a black tuxedo with a kind face. His arrogant expression seems calm, but there is a trace of imperceptible joy in his eyes. The old man's lowered eyebrows showed that he was brewing anger.
In the theater of the Tower of Thought, the picture on the huge screen switched again. This time the camera showed Bruce. He didn't even leave the alley. He was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, watching a vampire and a vampire. The angels fight with great interest.
As dusk fell, the golden-red light reflected on Schiller's hole, just like the grand sunset reflected on Gotham and the river.
A few weeks ago, Schiller, who was about to leave Gotham for an academic conference in Washington, came to Gotham Cathedral one evening before departure.
The old priest Daniel received him very warmly. After the two chatted for a while, the old priest went to complete his other work, while Schiller stood alone under the statue of the crucified Jesus in the center of the cathedral auditorium and began to pray.
"Almighty, great and merciful God, I pray to you before dinner because I am about to travel far away. The hesitation over the past few years has made me ashamed of your kindness, but thanks to your guidance, everything is in order A good result.”
"My student Bruce Wayne graduated with honors, and I can finally leave the city of Gotham to find my old friends and catch up with them. This is all your grace. I..."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew into the auditorium, and the statue of Jesus uttered "kacha kacha" several times, but Schiller seemed not to hear it and continued to pray.
"I tell you with great piety that I have made great progress in my education. You taught me in the Bible to teach your children diligently. Whether you sit at home, walk on the road, or lie down, , get up and talk about it', so I can't wait to share this joy with you..."
"But unfortunately, I did not achieve the goal of 'the most important concern for my children should be that they grow up to love God above all else'. If given the opportunity, I would definitely teach him piety. Of course, and, you once said..."
"Enough!"
A deep angry voice came from the statue of Jesus, followed by a tone that could be described as gnashing of teeth.
"Schiller! Even if your students graduate with distinction, you don't have to pray more than 400 times in three days, right??!
Are you sick? ! "
Schiller was not surprised at all. He just cleared his throat, continued to make a cross on his chest and said: "The small achievements I have achieved all depend on the guidance of the merciful Lord. Oh, how could I forget, the merciful Lord Himself It seems that my son is still running away from home..."
A shadow fell behind Schiller. As soon as Schiller turned his head, he saw an old man at the door of Gotham Church. His silhouette looked more ordinary under the afterglow of the setting sun, but Schiller called out. His honorific name: "'the presence' of the Most High God."
God's face was almost as dark as the daily sky in Gotham. He walked up to Schiller with a gentleman's staff and said as if he couldn't bear it anymore: "Can you not use 'God' every time you mention Bruce Wayne's outstanding graduation?" "Oh" starts with "Lord"! You call me more than 100 times a day. When did you become so arrogant?
Schiller raised his chin slightly and said with a smile: "Please believe, great Lord, although I am the only existence in this world that is not your creation, my faith in you is more devout than anyone else."
And God replied angrily: "Only a week after Bruce Wayne graduates?"
"Don't say that, Your Majesty, you see, even if I represent the trait of arrogance, I will still show you my piety for certain things. Don't worry about what I am for. Just say that praying more than a hundred times a day does not count." Consider it pious."
"It's considered harassment!" God's tone became even worse.
Of course, in fact, this matter alone is not a serious provocation. God is omniscient and omnipotent, so he can naturally receive prayers from everyone. It is not only good people who pray. Many people have done evil things in order to appease their consciences. , or hoping to get rid of sin, they will also pray to God.
Today, when religion is gradually becoming more and more entertainment-oriented, some prayer contents are simply unsightly and God doesn’t care at all.
Many people think that there is nothing special about Batman graduating from Schiller as an outstanding graduate. Schiller’s friends were very happy for the two of them when they heard about it, but that was just because they didn’t understand Bat. Xia is so special, but God understands.
So, having said that, the Joker can let Batman receive treatment at his place and then graduate with excellence from his hands, but God can only watch his son wander around the world, going anywhere but never coming home.
Is there any way God can bring Lucifer back? In fact, there is, and he has many ways, but does he have a way to make Lucifer come back willingly, and still be reluctant to leave when he is about to leave? He really couldn't help it.
Some people may say that with the power of the Supreme God, can’t Lucifer be brainwashed or reshaped into a devout angel in the traditional sense?
But God will also be stuck in a philosophical dilemma. How many parts must be replaced before an old ship becomes a new ship? After the part of Lucifer that yearns for freedom is eliminated, will he still be Lucifer?
God still has a headache over this, because even though I don’t know how many billions of years have passed, to God, it was almost the day before yesterday when his son ran away from home and had a big fight with his brother.
In other words, this is equivalent to an unlucky father who had a big quarrel with his rebellious son the day before, causing him to run away from home. The next day, the neighbor called him day and night to tell him that his child had graduated from a prestigious university. After graduation, I still say "Thanks to the advice you gave me, I can be so successful in education" every day.
God was so angry that he pulled out several of his beards one day.
Of course, Qi Guiqi, God actually knows the relationship between the Joker and Batman best. In other words, this is an area that he cannot fully control, so he naturally knows that Schiller is the former Joker. , how amazing it is to have Batman make such a change for him.
Between the hundreds of harassing phone calls from Schiller, God also thought carefully about how Schiller did it. He looked through the historical message records and found that this might not be suitable for him and Lucifer. .
Batman and the Joker torture each other, and at most they bring disaster to Gotham, and it happens that Gotham is already rotten, and the rest is all room for improvement. But if God and Lucifer torture each other, can the whole world be better?
God doubted that Schiller had a solution, but he didn't want to ask, because he knew as well as Lucifer that Schiller hated everyone equally, including God. His method of mediating the relationship between the two parties was not to treat the crazy one Cure, but drive both parties crazy, like him and Batman.
Yes, in the eyes of God, in the relationship between Schiller and Batman, although both are crazy, Batman is the relatively normal one. He is just more paranoid than ordinary people, while Schiller is crazy. It's more creative.
The mutual torment over the past few years can hardly be said to mean that Schiller cured Batman. It is more like he made Batman even crazier, and then the two of them were able to understand each other in the same level of madness. Those who do not know the truth People would think this was a success, but God would not be fooled.
Then the next thing God appeared in Gotham Cathedral, looked at Schiller standing in front of the pulpit and said: "Stop saying Bruce, say Lucifer."
"I can't make him return to heaven willingly." Schiller said looking at God very straightforwardly.
God was also choked by his frankness. He thought that Schiller would analyze their father-son relationship at length, but it seemed that Schiller did not intend to do so.
"Do you think I will analyze the relationship between your father and son at length, find out the problems between you and him, and then guide you to get along with him better?" Schiller tapped the pulpit next to him with his fingertips. on the desktop and said: "That's the job of a psychiatrist, I don't have the patience."
God held his cane and waited for his next words. Schiller shook his head and said: "I am more accustomed to achieving the goal directly, no matter what method is used."
"I know you want him to go back voluntarily, because it will prove that he loves you, but the fact is that he may not go back voluntarily for you, and it may not be for love."
Schiller turned to look at the church glass windows that were illuminated by the twilight and exuded brilliant light, and said: "Hate lasts longer than love. If I am not the clown that Batman hates most, he will not change because of me."
"Love is only half the truth of manipulation, the other half is hate - the intertwining of love and hate, the entanglement of life and death, is close enough, and it will never end if we owe each other and hurt both sides."
