Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 295 This is Gotham!

Meanwhile, in the hotel, Constantine hung up the phone and rushed to the window with its curtains tightly closed.

The woman sitting on the edge of the bed quickly got up and asked with a worried expression, "How is it? Is he willing to help?"

"Of course, that's an old friend of mine!"

Constantine responded casually, while simultaneously reaching out his right hand to pull back the curtains and look out at the sky.

Sure enough, a dark red vortex was slowly rotating in the sky not far from the hotel.

An evil aura emanating from the vortex emanated from it; even from hundreds of meters away, the pungent smell of sulfur seemed to be detectable...

Constantine frowned, his expression becoming extremely serious.

Without any hesitation, he immediately turned around, grabbed the woman's wrist, and dragged her outside.

The woman looked bewildered, staggering as she followed, frantically asking, "What happened?"

"It's Balthazar!"

Without turning his head, Constantine said, "He's summoning his hellish minions!"

The woman's face paled, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Are they coming for us?"

Constantine retorted irritably, "Nonsense!"

The woman seemed at a loss, her face pale, and asked, "What do we do now?"

"What else can be done?"

Constantine said without hesitation, "Run!"

He had just killed more than a dozen pursuers, and was severely lacking in ammunition and desperately needed to replenish his holy water. Facing a true demon from hell like Balthazar, he could only manage to protect himself at best, and it would be difficult for him to protect Angela beside him.

Angela nodded repeatedly upon hearing Constantine's words.

However, she quickly remembered the phone call from earlier and hurriedly asked:

"And what about your friends?"

"rest assured!"

Constantine replied without hesitation, "The Lord will protect him!"

He could tell that Su Haoming was a kind-hearted person, and that if he sensed the aura of a demon, he would definitely go and investigate first.

With Su Haoming's help in intercepting Balthazar, they can take the opportunity to cross Cathedral Square, reach Gotham Cathedral, seek the protection of the Church, and replenish their holy water and ammunition...

"is it?"

Just as Constantine was plotting against Su Haoming, a slightly sinister voice suddenly came from the corridor ahead.

Constantine froze instantly, and Angela, caught off guard, crashed into his back with the ball.

But at this moment, Constantine had no mind to appreciate the soft touch behind him.

He stiffly raised his head, looked at the expressionless Asian youth in front of him, and couldn't help but chuckle dryly, "Isn't this my old friend? You've come at the right time, I..."

"Oh!"

Before he could finish speaking, a fist the size of a sandbag slammed into his face with a whooshing sound.

Constantine was instantly thrown into the air, spinning three times before landing hard on his buttocks on the red carpet floor of the hotel corridor.

Seeing this, Angela, who was standing next to him, was startled and looked at Su Haoming nervously.

Su Haoming shook his hand with a refreshed expression and looked at her gently, saying, "Don't be nervous, this is what he owes me."

Constantine, leaning against the wall, stood up, grimacing. Rubbing his cheek, he said dejectedly, "One punch for ten thousand dollars, buddy, we're even!"

"Liangqing?"

Su Haoming sneered, "Dream on, this is just interest!"

Hearing this, Angela finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but ask, "Is he the friend you talked to on the phone?"

"Who is his friend?"

Su Haoming retorted without any politeness, "I haven't even told him my name!"

Constantine generously comforted him, saying, "It's alright, I know it was just a fleeting thought on your part, true friendship—"

"Oh!"

Su Haoming, expressionless, threw a punch, knocking Constantine to the ground. He then turned around, adopting a friendly expression, and looked at Angela, asking:
"Tell me, what's going on?"

"This……"

Angela glanced at Constantine on the ground, seemingly hesitant.

Su Haoming said irritably, "Don't look at him, I don't trust this guy!"

Hearing this, Angela wasn't surprised. After all, she wasn't stupid. From their conversation, she could clearly see that Constantine was a scoundrel who talked nonsense and betrayed his teammates as easily as drinking water.

Putting herself in Constantine's shoes, Angela felt she absolutely couldn't trust him either.

Thinking of this, she finally spoke and began to tell her story in a low voice.

The more Su Haoming listened, the more familiar the story seemed. He quickly recalled the relevant memories – wasn't this the plot of the movie version of "Constantine"?
In short, Angela, like Constantine in his youth, possesses a powerful talent for psychic mediumship, and from a young age, she can see the devils and demons roaming the human world.

However, out of fear, she didn't dare tell anyone about it.

But her twin sister Elizabeth told her family that she could see demons.

Elizabeth's family didn't understand, so they sent her to a mental hospital.

While in the mental hospital, Elizabeth, for reasons unknown, chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building.

Those who commit suicide cannot ascend to heaven; this is an ironclad law written in the Bible.

Angela knew her sister was a devout Catholic, and she couldn't accept this outcome, so she sought out Constantine, hoping to learn the truth behind it all.

When Constantine learned of the sisters' story, he felt that their experiences were very similar to his own.

Moved by compassion, he took the initiative to help Angela investigate the truth, and even risked going down to hell once, where he learned that Elizabeth had indeed committed suicide.

When Constantine returns from hell, the female protagonist is saddened but has no choice but to accept the fact.

Strangely, ever since then, little ghosts have been frequently seen wandering around the two of them, and recently it has even escalated into blatant attacks, as if someone has been searching for them all along...

"and many more!"

Su Haoming suddenly interrupted Angela, and as if realizing something, he asked with a furrowed brow, "Up to this point in the story, it should all have taken place in Los Angeles, right?"

"That's right!"

"Then why did you suddenly come to Gotham City?"

Su Haoming, his face full of black lines, said, "It's not because of me, is it?"

Angela quickly replied, "Of course not!"

"why?"

"This...I..."

Angela stammered, clearly unaware of the real reason.

Constantine sighed and said, "I'll explain it myself!"

"As you know, I am an exorcist. In order to deal with the Hellhounds, I naturally need to maintain good relations with the church. The priest at the Los Angeles Cathedral is my close friend of many years."

“I originally planned to ask him to help investigate the truth, but I didn’t expect that he was transferred to Gotham Cathedral a few days ago.”

"There was no other way, so I had to take Angela with me and head towards Gotham while trying to contact the priest by phone..."

Su Haoming became alert and immediately asked a crucial question: "Where is he now?"

Constantine lit a cigarette and said with a sorrowful expression, "When I arrived at the church, he had already been assassinated by the devil..."

Sure enough, another teammate who got screwed over!
Su Haoming was speechless, unable to help but mentally complain.

Constantine said seriously, "However, the priest's sacrifice was worthwhile. Thanks to him, I know who arranged for the devil to follow us."

Su Haoming nodded and said, "The one outside?"

"Not bad!"

Constantine said in a deep voice, "That fellow is a devil who roams the earth, named Balthazar. To put it bluntly, his crimes are countless and heinous!"

"To die at your hands is too good for him!"

Su Haoming nodded subconsciously, then realized what he meant and said with a dark face:

"Wait, when did I say I was going to deal with him?"

"Just tell me, are you going to do anything about it or not!"

Constantine bluntly stated, "Anyway, he plans to summon minions in Gotham City. If you don't want to take action, you can only watch as the devil runs rampant in Gotham!"

"..."

Su Haoming was silent for a moment, then said in a strange tone, "It's not that I doubt their abilities, but in a godforsaken place like Gotham City, a few hellish brats really aren't qualified, are they?"

Constantine was taken aback by what he heard, but after thinking about it, he realized that it seemed to be true.

Gotham City has never lacked monsters and demons. Those seemingly treacherous and cunning demons, who are actually quite principled, seem rather normal in the face of Gotham City's madmen...

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside.

Su Haoming raised an eyebrow, immediately swung his hand to smash the door next to him, rushed into the room, and went to the window.

Looking out through the glass window, one could see a black Bat fighter jet hovering in a dark red vortex over the cathedral square not far away. The rotary machine guns on both sides of the fighter jet were spinning at high speed, pouring bullets down at the inhuman figure below.

"boom!"

Another deafening roar followed as the Wayne Corporation's missile exploded on the ground, its golden-red flames spreading outwards and instantly engulfing the devilish figure at its center.

Flames shot into the sky, reflecting off the hotel windows and illuminating Su Haoming's strangely expressiond face behind him.

"Is this... Batman vs. Hell's Devil?"

Su Haoming and Constantine exchanged glances, clearly not expecting that Batman would confront the devil before they could even make a move!
