Chapter 960 Schiller's Blade (Part 2)
"Okay, let me see what I should do first." In the dark basement, Constantine sat in the center of the room, looking at a pile of messy spell-casting materials around him, touching his chin and saying, "I am Should we summon the Green of All Things first and let him turn Broccoli back, or should we find Schiller first and rescue 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. ”
"But it's just like I don't like sweet wine. If I only have one glass, I can pretend I can't see it, but if I soak in a swimming pool of sweet wine, I might go crazy... Forget it, let's deal with the broccoli first. It’s a question, otherwise, I don’t know how that narrow-minded guy like Schiller will take revenge on me.”
After saying that, he stood up and began to select among the casting materials, planning to set up a summoning array to summon the green of all things, cancel their previous contract, and let him change the broccoli back.
But at this moment, there was a "bang" and the basement door was kicked open. Constantine was startled and silently took a few steps back. Seeing that the person coming was Batman, he breathed a sigh of relief and touched He touched his chest and said, "It's you. It scared me. I thought the devil was here again."
"But seriously, can you open the door softly next time? Fortunately I didn't put any traps on the door this time, otherwise, you might be ejected into the Pacific Ocean." Constantine shook his head and walked back In the center of the room, but at this time, he felt that something was not right in the atmosphere.
He looked at Batman standing in the darkness. Constantine, who had super-high spiritual perception, saw the terrifying black tide behind Batman.
He silently took two steps back, leaned against the corner, 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 spellcasting materials on the ground and said, "Oh, yes, I am working hard. I am planning to summon the green of all things to solve the broccoli problem."
"I'm talking about finding Schiller's location." Batman repeated it again. Constantine frowned and said, "Even if you want to save him from the agents, you have to remove his allergens first. Solve it, otherwise, even if he can return to the manor, won't he still feel the same pain? "
"I was the one who 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 return his attention to the pile of materials on the ground, but the next second, he heard the roar of the wind in his ears. When he turned around, he saw a flash of light, and a batarang was embedded in the gap in the wall tiles behind him. , less than two centimeters from his ear.
"Batman! What are you doing?!" Constantine screamed: "You almost cut off my ears!
!
"
"Okay, I know you're angry. I shouldn't have made Schiller allergic to so much broccoli, but I didn't know that his allergic symptoms were so severe. This was just an accident, and there's still something to be done about it now. There is 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 trembling in Batman's final voice, Constantine frowned, and his expression gradually became serious. He walked up to Batman and asked: "You mean, Schiller is injured, those agents dare to injure him?" he?"
Seeing Batman's face, Constantine didn't ask any questions. He immediately began to prepare the materials for casting spells. While fiddling with them, he said, "I think. You should have discovered before that the fastest way for magicians to find people is to walk away." boundary."
"In the spiritual world, we can directly locate the person's soul, ignore the obstacles in reality, and travel through it as quickly as possible." 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 cause interference in the real world." Constantine handed Batman a bottle of spices and said, "But as long as you attach some extra spices to your soul, Power can also allow him to temporarily possess a physical entity. With the strength of your soul, you can defeat all those ordinary agents with just a little bit of magic energy."
"Okay, get ready." Constantine stood in the circle, and Batman also walked in. Constantine squatted down and pressed his fingers on the ground, preparing to release energy into the material, but he squatted there for a few seconds. After that, he let out a somewhat confused "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 work smoothly. It doesn't matter. Let's try again."
After saying 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 again, changed his position, and changed all the casting materials. , but still useless.
He stood there in confusion and said, "What's going on? Why can't my magic work?"
Still looking at his hands in disbelief, he tried hard with his arms, but no light appeared. He closed his eyes and began to meditate on various demonic patterns, but there was still no reaction.

At this moment, he was even more panicked than Batman. He immediately looked at Batman and said, "Something happened. Something must have happened in the occult world. Quick, let's go find Zatanna. She should know what's going on."
After saying that, before Batman could move, he rushed out of the door, but quickly ran back and said, "Where did you hide Zatanna? Take me to find her!"
But soon, he came to his senses and said: "If you want to save Schiller, then Xiao Zha is the only answer. Even if the spiritual world and magic energy cannot be used, she can also do divination and will definitely be able to give us Schiller." location.”
The two left the basement, came upstairs, and took the Bat Helicopter back to the Batcave. Zatanna was playing cards boredly. When she saw the two of them coming back in a hurry, she looked them up and down in confusion and asked: " What's wrong with you two? Why do you look so bad?"
"Za, quick, let's see if your magic can still work?" Constantine said anxiously. Zatanna was confused by his question. She stretched out her hand, pointed at Constantine and said, "Come on. Hang up!"
Constantine was hung upside down in an instant. Zatanna shrugged and said, "Isn't this good? Why are you so crazy? Constantine?"
Constantine fell from mid-air and fell to the ground, but he had no time to arrange his clothes, but immediately took out a charm from his pocket.
He swung it hard, and the talisman was afraid of making a "pop" sound, but there was no response and it was not ignited. He swung it hard again, but the talisman still didn't respond. In the end, he kept slinging the talisman, causing the paper talisman to fall apart. It shattered directly, and Constantine looked at the piece of paper on the ground in disbelief.
At this time, Zatanna also realized that something was wrong. She stepped forward with some confusion, looked at Constantine and said, "What's wrong with you? The magic failed?"
Ignoring the lost Constantine, Batman stepped forward and said to Zatanna: "Take me to Schiller, something may have happened to him."
"What happened to Schiller?" Zatanna immediately became alert and said, "What's going on? Did those black magicians attack him?"
"No, it was FBI agents. They took Schiller away and injured him. Schiller may have been seriously injured. If we can't find him right away, his life may be in danger."
Zatanna frowned and said, "Well, there are two ways to use magic to find someone, either through the spirit world or through divination."
"The advantage of walking in the spirit world is that it is fast. We can directly track the breath of the soul, ignore all obstacles in reality, and reach the target location directly. However, it requires additional magic to interfere with reality. Divination positioning can be tracked directly in reality, although the speed is slow. , but no additional energy is required.”
"Go to the spirit world." Batman immediately said: "I will compensate you for the extra energy you have given. Leave now."
Hearing Batman's tone, Zatanna turned to look at him, then looked into his eyes and said, "Bruce, what's wrong with you? Do you remember the first time we met? You've become much like you were then. "
"Your soul is feeling sad and anxious, and has reached the edge of collapse. You can't go on like this anymore. Relax...relax..." Zatanna stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Batman's eyes, with a halo of magic. It relaxed Batman's spirit a little, without breaking the string in his brain.
Zatanna did not use the casting materials to go to the spirit world like Constantine, but directly let the other two people sit on the chairs. After her body lit up, the three of them left the body and came to the mist as before. In the misty spiritual world.
Zatanna took the lead to guide the direction. They flew for a while, and Batman felt them pass through the building, then through the ground, to the underground, and then to the surface again.
The souls traveled between the streets, and the moment they stopped, the most unacceptable scene for Batman appeared in his field of vision.
At the end of the alley is a red phone booth, like every old phone booth in Gotham. The red paint is peeling off and the glass is covered with thick dust.
A figure was leaning against the side wall of the phone booth. Blood stained the ground of the phone booth and flowed along the open door of the phone booth into the rain outside.
There was a huge wound on the side of his neck. The strips of cloth wrapped around the wound could not stop the flow of blood at all, and the dark suit was all dyed dark red.
It can be seen very clearly that one of Schiller's arms has been hanging down feebly, while the other arm is placed on his shoulder, as if he wants to press the wound, but there is no doubt that he is no longer breathing.
Batman froze in disbelief.
Zatanna also showed a sad expression. She patted his shoulder and said, "Sorry, I think he will... wait a minute, Bruce, I remember you told me about the rules of blood coagulation. The blood from his body Judging from the degree of condensation, he must have died not long ago?”
Batman was completely unmoved, but Zatanna said anxiously: "Since he just died not long ago, what about his soul? His soul should stay where it is? If we can find his soul, maybe There is help!”
Batman immediately turned to look at her, but Zatanna had already floated around the phone booth and began to search for Schiller's soul. Batman also followed her. Zatanna explained while searching:
"The souls of ordinary people will not be led away so quickly. They are not that attractive, so there will be no special demons or angels to pick them up. They usually stay in place for 24 hours or even longer."

"Judging from the blood coagulation, the professor may have died less than an hour ago. He was not Constantine. Before he died, there were a group of devils and angels waiting nearby. Devils and angels were also on their way. How could it be possible? Came so quickly?"
"Where is he?!" Batman asked rather crazily: "Where is his soul?!
! "
"Don't worry yet." Zatanna said while searching: "It must be nearby. He has no magical power to support him. He can't float too far. Maybe it's attached to the surrounding items... No, there's nothing here. …”
Suddenly, Zatanna shrugged her nose and said, "I smelled the devil's breath. I smelled it. Yes, it must be those guys from hell. Why did these lazy guys come so fast this time!"
"Find him! Chase him!" Batman said. Just as Zatanna was about to speak, Constantine spit out a name: "Limbo."
"The edge of hell!" Zatanna raised her voice and said, "Yes, that's right, we should indeed go to the edge of hell. It is the junction of the human world and hell, and it is not yet under territorial jurisdiction!"
Constantine then said: "If we can intercept the demon there and get the soul back, and Hell can't care about it, then there is still hope!"
"Let's go now." Batman stared straight at Zatanna. Zatanna hesitated for a moment, but still stamped her foot and said, "Okay, I'll take you to teleport."
The next second, she waved her hand and summoned a circle of fire, and three souls flew into the circle of fire. Soon, the three of them arrived in the dark space.
This is a black and barren land. Constantine pointed in a direction and said: "This is the direction to hell. If we want to catch up with them, we must take the shortest route."
Several people rushed in that direction, surrounded by an unchanged gray scenery.
Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared in front of him. Batman looked carefully and found that there was no way forward. On the distant skyline was a river of magma pouring down from the sky.
The place they were at was at the foot of a cliff, with a huge protruding cliff in front of them. The towering cliff looked even more majestic against the backdrop of the magma.
"Hell is ahead." Constantine said: "If you jump from this cliff, you will reach hell. You must be careful later, don't fall, and don't be pulled down by the devil's hand."
“Wait a minute, who is that?…Schiller! Schiller!
! "
Along with Constantine's shout, Batman saw a black figure standing at the top of the huge cliff.
Against the backdrop of the huge cliffs and rolling rivers of lava, Schiller's figure appears very small, yet very great.
Constantine saw countless ghost hands stretching out from hell, desperately reaching up, trying to catch Schiller.
At this time, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the dim sky at the edge of hell. A ray of holy light pierced the dark clouds. Countless white arms stretched out from the holy light, wanting to touch Schiller's cheek.
Constantine suddenly discovered that whether it was heaven or hell, he was very familiar with every figure who came here. They were all his former creditors.
At this time, Schiller's voice echoed at the junction of heaven and hell:
"Today, when I invite everyone here, I just want to announce one thing. I know that my good friend Constantine owes you a lot of debt, and he does not intend to repay it."
"But it doesn't matter. Just now, I died."
"I believe you should be able to see a lot of things in my soul, which is the sin or redemption you have been longing for."
As his words fell, Schiller's soul burst into flames.
Amidst the raging fire, a tall tower reaching into the sky appeared on the cliff at the edge of hell. It was filled with countless sins and good deeds, and countless stories of grudges and grudges, making all the devils and angels crazy.
Schiller's figure reappeared, then he turned his back to all the devils and angels, opened his arms, and the firelight behind him outlined his silhouette.
He stood on the top of the cliff, looking down at all the visitors, like a king about to be crowned. The first words he spoke made the earth and heaven tremble at the same time.
"I will pay off all of Constantine's debts with my soul."
"From now on, whatever makes him want something he cannot get will be satisfied, and whatever makes him sleepless at night will eventually disappear."
"He will get rid of the fate destined to be restless, get rid of the evil inherent in his life, and he will - gain a new life!"
After Schiller finished speaking, Constantine was stunned for a moment, and then rushed up the cliff in a somewhat crazy manner. Schiller took a step back, came to the edge of the cliff, and looked at Constantine quietly.
Constantine looked into Schiller's gray eyes, shook his head, and said instinctively:
"No……"
Schiller opened his arms and slowly fell backwards. Constantine threw himself to the edge of the cliff, but his outstretched arms touched nothing.
Constantine lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The flames of hell were burning. Above the flames, in the alternating changes of light and shadow, Schiller's figure was like a falling geese on the skyline.
"No!
!
!
!
!
!
! "
Constantine's roar breaks through hell.
At this moment, Constantine felt a shadow pass 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 great power.
At this time, Constantine saw Schiller falling, with a crazy and proud smile on his face.
The benefactor who once wholeheartedly wanted to save him, and now the savior who dedicated his soul to pay off all his debts, fell into hell at the same time in front of him.
Constantine felt a sharp blade piercing his heart.
Accurate, elegant, and deadly with one hit.
