Chapter 304

Batman walked into the room first, and Gordon followed behind him. The situation in the room was indeed very strange. Except for Shiler, who was standing in the middle holding an umbrella, the blond man who looked like he had indulged in lust too much was floating a black book in his hand. Jason, Dick, and Little Slider, the three children, were at the very back of the room, sitting on the ground, and on the right side of the room was a strange altar.

Just after they walked in, Shiler walked to the demon that had been slapped onto the wall by him, sized it up, and said: "Is this Mrs. Sanchez?"

Gordon said with a face full of confusion: "Mrs. Sanchez? Isn't she already dead?"

Constantine walked to the side of the monster, and chains flew out from the book in his hand to imprison the monster. Gordon turned his head to look at the children who had fallen to the ground and said: "Who can explain to me what exactly is going on?"

"Alright." Shiler raised his tone, then tapped the floor with his umbrella and said: "Come on, speak one by one, starting with you guys."

As he spoke, he pointed to Jason and Dick. Dick looked at the umbrella in front of him that could directly slap a monster onto the wall so that it couldn't be pried off, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and still obediently began to narrate.

"... Two days ago, I came to this school to go to class. On the first day, everything was normal. After I packed my luggage, I went to sleep, but because I changed beds, I couldn't sleep a bit. When I got up in the middle of the night, I saw that my roommate had injuries on his back..."

"When I got up in the morning, I asked him what happened, but he showed a very scared expression and said nothing. I was a bit suspicious, so I paid attention to observation and found that it seemed many students had injuries on their bodies..."

"I felt that someone must be abusing them. During class in the daytime, one of my classmates was not focused while praying, so the teacher said he should go to the confessional. He showed a very scared expression. I felt they must have abused him in the confessional."

"So, I also deliberately made a small mistake, letting them lock me in the confessional..."

"And then?" Batman asked.

"... A woman walked in. She said her name was Mrs. Sanchez and she was the principal of this school. She said a lot of threatening things to me, such as that even if I were the adopted son of the Wayne family, I would have to be obedient here, otherwise she would make me look good, and so on..."

"I asked her if she had abused those children, but this seemed to anger her. She said these disobedient children should be hanged..."

"Then she hit me with a teaching pointer. The wounds left were exactly the same as those of my classmates. That damn woman is a sadist. She..."

Before Dick could continue, Batman walked to his side and then lifted his clothes. There were many scars on Dick's back and waist, which looked like they had just been left not long ago. Those scars were very deep, and some had even turned a bit black. Batman's face began to look a bit ugly, but Dick didn't care much. He continued:

"That woman originally wanted to continue hitting me, but someone outside called her, saying that a Mr. Cooper had come to find her, so she left..."

"I thought, I have to expose her true face and then save my classmates, so, I took advantage of the time she left, pried open the lock of the confessional, and secretly followed behind her..."

"The place where she met that Mr. Cooper was on the fourth floor. My skills are not bad, I climbed to the balcony along the water pipe, and then eavesdropped outside the window of their room..."

Dick pursed his lips, his tone somewhat unbelievable, and said: "I heard that Mrs. Sanchez and Cooper had a deal."

"What deal?"

"It seems that Cooper's son died, and he has always wanted to resurrect his son, and Mrs. Sanchez is a witch. They talked about trading with demons or something... Anyway, it's that Cooper gives Mrs. Sanchez a lot of money, and then Mrs. Sanchez helps Cooper resurrect his son..."

"They said it seems they have to sacrifice children to demons or something. As long as they sacrifice a certain number, they can pull Cooper's son's soul back from hell. Anyway, they said a bunch of terms I didn't understand. It's probably like this..."

"I originally thought they were mental patients because this sounded too much like nonsense, but later, they started arguing. That Mrs. Sanchez could make things in the room fly. I was startled, and then accidentally made a noise."

"That Mrs. Sanchez noticed me immediately, but fortunately I ran fast and wasn't caught by her immediately. I know that if what they said is true, then maybe all the students in this school are in danger. Mrs. Sanchez wants to sacrifice them all to demons. I must stop all this..."

【Great Luo of All Worlds】

"And you guys? How did you two end up here?" Shiler looked at Jason and Little Slider. Jason and Little Slider looked at each other and said: "Originally, we were staying at Batman's stronghold. It's not bad there, but after staying for a long time, we got a bit bored..."

"Before, our friend Tire told us that the boarding school is a children's prison. Although he said that this boarding school in the north is different, we were still a bit worried. Anyway, since we were idle, we wanted to come and see how Dick was doing..."

Dick covered his forehead somewhat helplessly and said: "Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to sneak out to contact Batman, but they secretly ran into the school and were caught by that key manager."

"That Mrs. Sanchez seemed to be lacking objects for sacrifice, so she locked the two of them in the basement. I still have to find a way to save them..."

"Speaking of that key manager." Gordon scratched his head somewhat confusedly and said: "Where is he? Why didn't I see him when I was downstairs? He shouldn't have left that fast, right?"

"Obviously, he is in cahoots with this demon. Didn't you notice that he has been trying to lead us to the seventh floor?"

"Uh..." Gordon paused and said: "So the seventh floor is a trap? But how did they know we would come?... Oh, they reported the case, so they deliberately reported the case to lure people over, and then take them to the seventh floor to kill them. But what is the point of doing this? Does that Mrs. Sanchez have a grudge against the police?"

"She wants to sacrifice you to replenish her own power because she knows she can't beat me."

Constantine lit a cigarette, but in an instant, the cigarette in his hand was knocked away and nailed to the wall by a Batarang. Batman looked at him and said: "Didn't you see that there are children here?"

Constantine made a helpless expression and said: "Alright, next is my story."

"I won't introduce who I am. In short, my previous residence was a mental hospital, but I was wronged. I am not a mental patient. Because of various reasons, I was locked in a mental hospital."

"A few days ago, a gang boss named Harry Cooper got me out of there, in order to let me use occult methods to resurrect his son."

"Wait, didn't Dick just say that Cooper was looking for Mrs. Sanchez to resurrect his son?"

"Obviously, the person he found didn't have much ability." Constantine glanced at the monster fixed on the wall by chains.

"Cooper told me that the person he found before was greedy and insatiable, and he couldn't afford the price that person wanted, so he planned to change to someone else."

"Cooper told me that the method provided by the witch he found before was to sacrifice the souls of thirteen children to demons in hell on the night of the full moon, and then he could exchange them for his son's soul."

"When I heard this method, I knew who he had found."

Constantine glanced at the monster again and said: "In witchcraft, there is a branch specifically for practicing with the souls of children. I generally call this branch 'Ghost Mother', and as far as I know, in the current occult circle, there is only one Ghost Mother, and that is Lorena Sanchez."

"When I heard that Cooper had actually found her, I almost laughed my teeth off. Lorena is simply a liar! She of course knows that sacrificing the souls of any number of children cannot pull Cooper's son's soul back from hell. No one can snatch their food back from the hands of the devil."

"But that Cooper is an outsider who only knows a little bit. He believed Lorena's statement, not only gave her a lot of money but also arranged for her to become the principal of a boarding school, so that she could take action against those children."

"After I learned all this, of course I wouldn't let her succeed, so I went to find Lorena, let her stop her fraudulent behavior, and then leave here."

"She said she would consider it, but secretly, she set up traps and altars in this school, just so that when I came to find trouble, she could give me a head-on blow."

"Sure enough, after I came, she used the altar to summon the shadow of a demon, which attached to her body and turned into this monster now..."

"Then how did Cooper die?"

"He was cursed to death by Lorena because he refused to continue providing funds to Lorena and no longer trusted her. This kid also said before that Cooper and Lorena had a big argument. After they parted ways, Lorena should have cursed him to death using a curse."

"Does the serial murder case that happened in Cat Getan recently have anything to do with you?" Batman stared at Constantine and asked.

"Serial murder case?" Constantine was stunned for a moment and said: "No matter what that is, I don't know. I've only been in Cat Getan for a few days..."

"Constantine, do you know..."

Shiler turned around and walked to the opposite side of Constantine. Constantine also looked at Shiler and said: "... What?"

Shiler lowered his head, slowly slid his hand from the handle of the umbrella, and then held the middle part of the umbrella with both hands.

With a "bang", Constantine was knocked down by the upward-swinging umbrella handle. He lay on the ground, and before he passed out, he saw Shiler with his whole body against the light, propping the umbrella on the ground, and opening his mouth to say:

"I don't believe a single word of what you said."
