Four people and a cat.
Yin Meng was looking at Locke, Locke was looking at Angela, Angela was secretly glancing at Locke, and Constantine was watching them.
This scene seems to be described by a lyric: It's clearly a movie for three people, but I can never have a name.
"Hey, can you two look at me?"
Constantine felt a pang of jealousy and couldn't help but say, "The hell demon Mammon is about to descend upon the world, and you two are still in the mood to flirt here?"
A pair of scumbags!
The world is about to be destroyed, and you two are still flirting here!
Constantine now couldn't wait to take out the Holy Hunter and shoot this pretty boy, but considering the difference in combat power between the two sides, he could only suppress this tempting idea.
"..."
Locke was slightly speechless, turned to look at Constantine, and said, "Which eye of yours saw me flirting?"
Constantine said with a blank expression, pointing to himself, "Both eyes saw it."
"N...no...it's not like that..."
Angela's face was slightly red, she lowered her head shyly, and whispered to defend herself, "I don't know what happened just now, I suddenly became like that."
But unfortunately, the way she said this, in Constantine's view, looked more like a lie told out of shyness.
Only Locke knew.
Angela was telling the truth, she was affected by some mysterious influence just now, so she showed that kind of admiration and desire for a man she met for the first time.
Besides, he is not a walking hormone machine, how could he make a woman he has never met fall in love with him at first sight?
"..."
Locke was speechless and couldn't explain it to Constantine, so he could only say helplessly, "Forget it, as long as you're happy, let's continue talking about serious matters."
Constantine leaned on the sofa, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "That's right, it's not like we're acting in a Hollywood movie, love alone can't save this rotten world!"
It really can save the world...
Locke resisted the urge to complain, and couldn't bear to expose Constantine's fantasy. Aren't Captain America, Thor, and Black Widow typical examples?
Considering that this exorcist has the attribute of being a lone star, Locke felt that it was better not to say it, lest he suffer a blow.
Constantine took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Angela, do you remember what happened to you in hell?"
After Angela recalled carefully, she replied, "I only remember meeting Isabella, and then she told me to leave hell quickly, and said that someone was targeting me."
"Anything else?"
Constantine frowned. With just this clue, he couldn't deduce who it was, and why, to imprison Angela's soul.
"...Nothing else."
Angela showed a trace of apology in her eyes and shook her head, "I'm sorry, I really can't remember."
"What about you?"
Constantine turned to look at Locke, his eyes locked on him, and asked, "When you went to hell to save her, did you find anything?"
Locke told the truth, "It was Mammon who imprisoned Angela's soul. I met His avatar in hell."
"You met Mammon?"
Hearing this, Constantine was so frightened that his hand shook and he almost dropped the cigarette on the ground. He looked at Locke in surprise and asked, "Then how did you save Angela?"
Locke smiled slightly: "I killed His avatar."
"Hiss——"
Constantine took a breath of cold air and said in disbelief, "You you you... were actually able to kill Mammon's avatar in hell?"
"Although the process was difficult,
But as far as the result is concerned... I killed it," Locke said calmly.
"What... what exactly are you?"
Constantine still couldn't accept it. That was the demon king in charge of hell. Even if it was just an avatar, it was not an existence that could be easily killed!
Locke took a deep look at him and said, "You will know in the future, but not now."
"OK~ Mystery Man!"
Constantine shrugged. He was used to seeing this kind of pretentious guy. He continued, "Then now is the second question, why did Mammon imprison Angie's soul?"
Locke said lightly, "I heard Mammon say that she is related to the descent ceremony."
Angela: w(?Д?)w
Constantine frowned and asked suspiciously, "Then why must it be Angela? What does she have to do with Mammon's descent ceremony?"
"I don't know this."
Locke shook his head and said, "Aren't you the best at dealing with those guys in hell? How come you don't even know a descent ceremony?"
Spoilers are fun for a while, but the whole family will be cremated!
If he dares to tell Constantine now about Mammon's descent ceremony and that Gabriel is the mastermind, who knows which big shot will jump out and destroy him, so it's safer to obediently shut his mouth and guide Constantine to find out the truth through side-by-side inquiries.
"Do you think I'm a prophet?"
Constantine resisted the urge to slap this outsider to death and explained, "There are at least tens of thousands of descent ceremonies, how do I know which one Mammon is using?"
Locke asked in surprise, "Aren't you very familiar with hell? Just ask a few demons."
You think too much... I'm really not familiar with it!
The corner of Constantine's mouth twitched and said, "They can't wait to kill me, how could they tell me."
"This is difficult..."
Locke pondered for a while, and then said, "Aren't you known as a social butterfly? Why don't you ask a few friends?"
"Uh... this path won't work either."
Constantine said with an embarrassed expression, "I've already tried to contact them, but as soon as they heard it was me, they immediately hung up the phone."
"Your popularity is really bad..."
"My popularity used to be pretty good... it's just that something unexpected happened."
"For example?"
"I dragged two friends to hell."
"Did they volunteer?"
"Uh... I didn't have time to ask at the time."
"Then I understand."
"Yeah... it's good that you understand."
Angela sat aside, listening to the conversation between the two, and looked at Constantine with disdain, scolding, "Scumbag!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
Constantine said indifferently, but a trace of sadness that was not easily detectable flashed in his eyes.
And this trace of sadness happened to be captured by Locke.
Everyone knows that Constantine screws over his teammates, but no one knows that for five minutes every morning after Constantine wakes up, he imagines in his mind the scene of his friends dying because of him.
The reason for doing this is just so that when that day comes, he will not be immersed in sadness and can continue to work hard to save this rotten world.
Everyone only remembers the people who were screwed to death by Constantine, but unknowingly forgot how many lives this scumbag has saved.
Seeing that the atmosphere became a little dull, Locke had to stand up and be responsible for guiding Constantine: "Actually, you have another friend."
"Who?"
"Midnight Daddy."
"Didn't you kill him?"
"Not yet, there's still a breath left."
"You're really not human, too cruel."
"Same to you."
