Chapter 107: Standoff
Chapter 107: Standoff
"John Constantine..."
Lucifer said indifferently, "You helped me once, so what do you want?"
Although the synonym for hell had never been very good, Constantine had helped him a lot this time. Lucifer, who had fallen in the name of arrogance, would certainly not allow himself to owe a human a favor.
Therefore, within the reasonable requirements, he would repay the favor he owed Constantine.
Although this was not the first time for Constantine to extort the famous Lucifer, it was still an extremely rare opportunity.
"For example... let me go?"
After Constantine said this, he laughed out loud.
Lucifer curled his lips and said, "Little guy, my patience is limited. I suggest you choose a reasonable request."
"I knew it... Forget it..."
Constantine laughed at himself and sighed. "Isabella, the sister of that woman. Let her rest in peace."
Lucifer raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "Are you willing to give up your life and let that woman go to heaven?"
Constantine remained silent and only nodded slightly.
Based on the principle of saving one person one by one, he only wanted to reduce the amount of sins he had committed before he died. At the very least, he wanted to let that innocent person be involved in this incident. Angela\'s sister Isabella could rest in peace.
He believed that Lucifer would be able to do such a simple request.
Lucifer closed his eyes and seemed to be communicating with an unknown existence.
After a while, Lucifer opened his eyes and grinned at Constantine. He said, "It\'s done ---That woman\'s soul is now in heaven."
Constantine: Σ(°△°|||)︴
The efficiency of the big boss.
That\'s how fast it is.
Don\'t ask why suicide can go to heaven, ask how is that Lucifer able to use the back door.
Constantine couldn\'t help but doubt himself. Did he work hard in the wrong direction for decades?
If he had known earlier, he would have licked Lucifer and asked him to help him reach heaven faster than Gabriel next door!
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"Time is up, dear John ---"
Lucifer did not care about Constantine\'s thoughts. He just wanted to bring this guy back to hell and let him experience the hell theme park that he had carefully prepared.
"Hu..."
Constantine smoked the last cigarette and extinguished the burning cigarette bud in the blood beside him. Then he said sadly, "Let\'s go... Lucifer."
Lucifer smiled and bent down to grab Constantine\'s arm. He turned around and dragged him out.
Constantine was violently dragged, his body sliding across the tiled floor full of glass fragments, leaving a trail of blood wherever he passed.
Obviously, Lucifer was in a good mood now, and even whistled.
Constantine, the soul that he had been coveting for a long time, had been waiting for dozens of years to be obtained, how could he not be happy?
But it was a pity.
Lucifer was happy for less than three seconds when he felt Constantine\'s weight suddenly increase.
Boom!
The tiles around Constantine suddenly cracked like a spider web. The ground suddenly collapsed, as if it had been suppressed by a terrifying gravity!
"Huh?"
Lucifer frowned and pulled hard in disbelief.
Squeak ---
But no matter how hard Lucifer tried, Constantine\'s body still did not move. It felt as if the weight of a world was pressing down on Constantine!
Anger surged in Lucifer\'s eyes as he grabbed Constantine\'s arm and exerted all his strength to drag him out of the pit.
However, the pressure on Constantine became heavier and heavier. In the end, just the weight of an arm made Lucifer feel that he could not lift it up.
Left with no choice, Lucifer could only throw Constantine down angrily and look up at the sky. "Hey, this doesn\'t conform to the rules. He is mine!"
"This is the rule."
A black cat walked out from the corner. It stared at Lucifer with its pure golden eyes and said, "John Constantine is willing to sacrifice himself for others. His noble character is enough for him to rise to heaven."
"It\'s you?"
Lucifer recognized the soul hidden in the body of this black cat. It was the one he hated the most. His face suddenly darkened, and anger almost burst out from his eyes. "Why did you come to the human world instead of guarding heaven?"
The black cat said lightly, "I came to have fun."
Lucifer sneered and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Don\'t say such meaningless lies in front of me."
The black cat licked his palm, obviously not wanting to answer this question.
"..."
Lucifer was silent for a moment, then said with a sinister look in his eyes, "This human soul, I must get it!"
The black cat eyes revealed a hint of ridicule, "If I don\'t give it to you, what will happen?"
"If you don\'t give... then let\'s start the war!"
Lucifer\'s eyes were half-opened and half-closed. Two pitch-black wings spread out behind him, and a raging hellfire ignited beneath his feet. A rich sulfuric smell filled the entire space!
Now, it was the black cat\'s turn to be silent.
Although Constantine was important to heaven, he was not an indispensable member. He could not afford to fight against Lucifer for him!
"Have you thought about it?"
Lucifer smiled sinisterly. "Either hand over his soul to me, or I will lead people to fight against heaven. I would like to see if you, the guardian, can bear such a price!"
The black cat\'s golden eyes flickered slightly. He said in a low voice, "You are too impulsive, Lucifer."
"Impulsive?"
Lucifer sneered and said, "In front of me, you stole what I wanted. Since you don\'t follow the rules of the game, why should I?"
"..."
The black cat\'s eyes moved back and forth between Constantine and Lucifer, as if considering how to choose between the two.
Lucifer stepped on the hellfire and flapped his devil wings slightly. He licked his dry lips and showed a strange smile to the black cat, "It has been tens of millions of years. I wonder if the current you can stop me like before."
"This time... you won, Lucifer." After a balance, compared to Constantine\'s soul, the safety of heaven was obviously more important now. The black cat sighed and moved aside.
"Ohhoho---"
Lucifer revealed an evil smile and said, "It seems that something has happened to heaven. Otherwise, why would you choose to give in?"
"Lucifer..."
The black cat\'s pure golden eyes lit up with divine radiance. An indescribable and terrifying pressure descended. It was as if countless rays of divine light tore through the night, accompanied by six huge golden wings.
"There are some things that can be known but can not be said. Do you understand this principle?"
