Chapter 2138

In a gloomy basement in Cat Getan, a man in a trench coat with a stubbly beard sighed deeply. The girl sitting opposite him tucked her short red hair behind her ears and said.

"Does this make you very embarrassed? Otherwise, you can send me back. I think you have done enough, Mr. Constantine."

"This has nothing to do with that." He sighed deeply again and said: "Call me John, Barbara. I missed the only time point to send you to the hospital, and it's too late now."

"Look on the bright side, at least I won't be paralyzed from the waist down." Barbara curled her lips and said: "In this city, being possessed by a demon is not a big deal."

"If it were only Cat Getan, perhaps I would think you are right, but haven't you discovered it yet? In this new city fused with Cat Getan, there is a group of extremely difficult guys."

Constantine sat in the corner of the wall, took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth. After hesitating for a while, he stuffed it back into his pocket. He shook his head, showing a frustrated expression.

"It seems you are not as at ease as you say." Barbara, sitting in the chair, had an inexplicable brilliance flashing in her eyes. Her face, which was usually youthful and full of vitality, also carried a trace of abnormal paleness.

"The trouble is big, child, but it can always be solved."

Although he said so, Constantine still felt a headache. He couldn't say that he had made a wrong decision, it was just a bit unfortunate.

When Constantine went to save Barbara, he found that Barbara's waist was hit. Although he was not a doctor, he could see that this injury might not be fatal, but it would definitely be disabling.

Thinking from the perspective of a magician, taking out the bullet and healing the wound was not a big deal at all. Magical energy could save all destined decay.

But that was only for the magician himself, because after so many years of development, the DC magic trading system was already very mature. The objects of the source of power used by Constantine had all signed relatively strict treaties with him.

The demons or other magical abilities summoned by the fire avatar used by Constantine were all permitted to be used in the treaty. Of course, there was also self-healing ability in the treaty, but it was limited to healing Constantine himself.

If encountering a situation where he wanted to heal others, he must find a demon or angel to sign other treaties, and Constantine and the treated person would pay the price together. If the other party was not a magician, they might have to pay more.

However, this also depended on the difficulty of the treatment. The ones that required a huge price were often pulling a person back from the line of life and death, while the rest of the injuries were minor injuries in the eyes of demons or angels, and there was no need to pay the price of organs or souls. At most, it would consume some luck or lifespan.

Holding such an idea, Constantine intended to summon someone to heal the injury. In this regard, hell and heaven were clearly priced, so it was the same no matter who was summoned.

Constantine was too skilled in this regard. He drew a random dialing magic circle and made the call. Soon someone answered the phone and projected a trace of his power and consciousness onto Barbara.

But at this moment, Constantine felt that he was being watched.

His intuition had saved his life more than once, which was also the most powerful evidence that Constantine was born to do this. At the moment of being watched, Constantine immediately took Barbara, who had not yet completed the possession, and transferred.

He thought it was just a casual glance from heaven or hell, but he didn't expect it to be a man-made disaster. Constantine transferred to the safe house he had previously left in Cat Getan. Just when he wanted to communicate with the demon inside Barbara's body again, a group of monks wearing yellow robes knocked on the door of the safe house.

Still that sentence, Constantine was a sufficiently experienced magician. He didn't believe that anything that happened to him was just a coincidence and accident. Even if it was, there must be a devil manipulating the probability behind it, so he took Barbara and transferred again.

But the other party could always find him quickly. Constantine didn't have time to think about why this was. This time he had to face this group of strange mages directly, because even he didn't have so much energy to carry an ordinary person to transfer several times in such a short time.

What Constantine didn't expect was that the other party didn't intend to reason with him at all. Even if Constantine and Barbara both indicated that they were in a cooperative relationship, no one kidnapped anyone, and no one was hurting anyone, this group of mages shouted "traitors who summon demons" and rushed up.

Constantine didn't understand, isn't the energy you use also from demons?

What era is it, why is there still someone whose reason for attacking a heretic is that he cooperates with demons? May I ask which magician in this world does not cooperate with demons?

No way, Constantine could only take Barbara and continue to run. The guys on the opposite side were not weak. If he was not careful, he would capsize in the gutter, so he had to be cautious.

Constantine was not stupid. He found that as long as he tried to communicate with the demon in Barbara's body, the other party would immediately lock his position, which made Constantine speculate that the other party might be able to detect the energy of the demon.

So he took Barbara to the last sanctuary and used a seal to temporarily seal the demon consciousness in Barbara's body.

The mages seemed to have encountered some other troubles and didn't chase after them for the time being, but this didn't mean that this troublesome matter ended here. In fact, just the opposite, the most difficult part had just begun.

Constantine now knew that there were also mages in the fused new city. He had to figure out the background of this group of mages. To put it bluntly, he had to know who the contract objects of the mages were.

It was not difficult to see that this group of mages was organized, and the most fatal thing was that organized magicians in this world usually brought great disasters.

Because they indulged the ambitions of heaven and hell, they were often the vanguards who opened up territory for them in the human world. If there was no profit to be made, demons and angels would not spend so much blood to lend so much power to so many people.

Although the demon in Barbara's body could not be communicated with for the time being, Constantine's own telephone line was still normal. He could actually ask the demon and then let the demon investigate in hell.

But what he didn't tell Barbara was that he was also facing another layer of trouble. A meddlesome historian and folklorist was investigating him.

This had to start from a cold case left by Constantine in England when he was young. The specific case was a bit complicated, but it also caused a double ripple in the ordinary human society and the occult circle, which could also be said to be the turning point of Constantine's life.

Bringing up old things again was certainly not without reason. Before this, Constantine also found that the demon who made trouble at that time had returned to the world. He originally wanted to solve this matter himself, but he didn't expect Dr. Sothip to come out halfway and disrupt his plan.

It was fine if he couldn't investigate on the bright side, but this Dr. Sothip didn't know where he got the news and pointed the spearhead directly at Constantine.

So that mysterious visitor in the fog didn't even invite Constantine, and he came to New York by himself, because he really couldn't stay in England anymore.

This Dr. Sothip's ability to track down was extremely strong. He could dig out things from decades ago, and the information he tracked down was even more detailed than what he had experienced himself back then.

Constantine's intuition saved his life again. Later, he indeed confirmed from the mouth of the visitor in the fog that the other party had a pivotal position in ordinary human society.

All Souls College of Oxford University was known as the crown of Oxford University. It did not recruit ordinary undergraduates and postgraduates, but only allowed scholars who had a pivotal position in the academic world to join.

And Constantine, as a magician, knew that it was also an ivory tower in the occult world. All scholars who claimed to study philosophy and theology there were actually occultists like him.

In this world, there were not only wild paths like Constantine who had excellent talent, but also scholars who had long realized that there was occult power in this world and invested in complex occult, theological, and religious studies with the body of ordinary people.

Government agencies in the world also needed such people to explain various occult events that appeared in this world. There was no doubt that All Souls College of Oxford University was the authority of occultism in ordinary human society.

It was two centuries ago that magicians were above ordinary human society. Now they were rats in the gutter, and Constantine didn't dare to bet his social identity that this Dr. Sothip would not turn his background upside down.

Constantine chose to come to the United States to avoid the limelight, and by the way, check what kind of background this Dr. Sothip had through the devil. But before he could have a headache for the other party's orthodox background, he was stuck here with Barbara.

Before coming to New York, Constantine suspected that Sothip had cracked the magic circle he used to communicate with demons. This was not strange. Many years ago, he used this hand. At that time, he was young and ignorant, and the traces were not eliminated thoroughly enough. As long as this group of theoretical masters was given some time, they could always crack it.

If he didn't update his phone number, Constantine would make a call, and he would very likely be caught by Sothip along the network cable. But to let him update his phone number under such circumstances was truly a bit difficult.

The key was that to update your phone number, you have to notify the demon, right? But to notify the demon, you have to make a call, and to make a call, you have to update your phone number, otherwise you will be caught. It belongs to a closed loop.

However, there was another simplest solution, which was for Constantine to open a portal and go directly to hell.

Communication with demons might be intercepted, but the probability of being intercepted if he transmitted himself was very small, because Constantine had his own stronghold on the edge of hell, where not just anyone could go, and the vast majority of magicians couldn't.

Constantine sighed and said to Barbara: "It's not safe to leave you here now. The demon energy in your body may lose control at any time. I want to take you to a safer place, but I think you should tell your family first."

Barbara also sighed. She didn't want to not call her father. She knew that Gordon must be anxious now, but the signal of the previous phone call was interfered with by the teleportation magic used by Constantine, and it couldn't get through at all.

Constantine took back the magic energy. Barbara made a call to Gordon, telling him that she was not missing, nor was she kidnapped, but just had to follow a magician to his stronghold to prevent the energy originally used to heal the wound from losing control.

Barbara gave a series of explanations. Not to mention how much Gordon understood, Constantine really couldn't wait, because that group of mages had chased after them again.

This time he really didn't have the energy to take Barbara to transfer in the human world. He waved his big hand directly, took Barbara to Limbo, and placed her in his small house.

The next step was to go to hell, talk to the demons in person, and solve this series of troublesome things.

After a burst of light, Constantine appeared in hell. It was a familiar dark red, sand and dust rose on the scorched brown earth, smoke columns rose in the distance, and the demons were as always...

Wait, where are the demons?
