[Comprehensive British and American] Reversal of the future

"Johnny..." Beria called softly, reaching out to hold the human hand.

But Konstantin turned away slightly, avoiding Beria's hand, and then he walked to the table.He looked at the cake first. The number of candles represented the age, the chocolate icing was sprinkled on it, and the big red cherries looked very attractive.

Constantine took a fixed look at the Black Forest cake. According to Beria's temper, he probably made this cake himself.

The king of hell is baking cakes with flour and egg wash in the kitchen?

Constantine could almost imagine the rich aroma filling the entire kitchen and lingering around Beria.

Constantine pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to show a smile, but found that the corners of his mouth were so stiff that he couldn't bend them at all.

He looked again at the golden crown next to the cake.

It can be said that jewels are extremely precious. If it weren’t for Beria who put it here, Constantine couldn’t help complaining about showing off his wealth when he saw birthday stars wearing this birthday hat.

But he knew that Beria had no other intentions but wanted the best for him.

"Johnny." Beria hugged Constantine from behind, gently kissed the side of the human's face, and whispered: "I just want to give you a surprise."

"I'm sorry," Constantine murmured, "I'm really sorry."

"You don't need to feel sorry." The Lord of Hell bent his eyes and said softly: "I feel very good. If I didn't know what you have been thinking all this time today, one day you suddenly ran away..." Bailey Ya paused, his eyes darkened instantly, "I will do something to you that you don't like."

"Oh, chained to Pandayaninan?" Constantine squinted at Beria, his tense body relaxed slightly.

"And then do it until you don't have the strength to escape, maybe you can't say what I don't like to hear." Beria added nonchalantly, directly making the ears of the human in his arms red.

The guy who always thought he was pure and kind suddenly became so violent, and so natural, even if Constantine thought he was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush.

Look at the candles on this cake, if it weren't for the Lord of Hell's meddling, he would have entered middle age, with frost on his temples and countless fine lines around his eyes.

It is a person who will always age. Although he is melancholy, he accepts it well.

It's just that, after getting old, it may not be so handy to fight the devil again.Maybe one day, he will die under the claws of the devil, and his soul will be dragged into hell.

Heaven will not forgive him, a soul who has committed suicide, even though he has saved so many people over the years.They will only hold on to the reason why he chose to save people in order to go to heaven, and believe that his soul is not enough to enter heaven.

Beria kissed the side of Constantine's neck, reached out and took the crown, and put it on his head.His palm flicked lightly on the candle, and the candle was lit, and the lights in the living room were suddenly extinguished.

"Blow out the candles, Johnny." Beria whispered in the human ear, "You don't need to make a wish, because no matter what wish you have, I am willing to make it come true for you."

Therefore, he doesn't need to make a wish to the illusory existence on his birthday.

The candles were blown out and the lights came back on.

The human being and the fallen angel interlocked their fingers, holding the table knife together, and slowly cutting the cake.

"Speaking of..." Konstantin asked while placing the cut cake on the dinner plate, "How do you usually celebrate your birthday?"

"Me?" Beria raised his eyebrows, and said, "I don't celebrate birthdays." Beria rested his chin on the human shoulder blade, and said with a chuckle, "It's not a fraction, 20 years old, 20 candles , I can’t eat the cake after inserting it.”

Of course, a cake that can hold 20 candles is also spectacular.

"Can't one be inserted in ten thousand years?" Constantine silently recalled the age of the fallen angel behind him again, and he couldn't help suggesting.

"It doesn't make any sense, Johnny." Beria reached out and spread a large piece of chocolate cream, stuffing it into the human's mouth.After humans reluctantly licked off the cream on their fingers with their tongues, Beria withdrew his hand, sucked his fingers nonchalantly, and continued: "Time is meaningless to us."

Pausing for a moment, Belia stared sideways at the eyes of the human beings, and said softly: "But you mean a lot to me."

"...Eat your cake." Constantine passed the plate with the cake in front of Beria, but Beria stretched out his hand and grabbed Constantine's fingers.

Konstantin froze for a moment, he felt the slight coolness from the fingers being held.

Beria let go of his fingers and took the plate.

Constantine stared blankly at the ring on his left ring finger.

Black gold metal ring with a delicate black rose inlaid on it.Her buds are closed and look like a real rose waiting to bloom.

"This..." Konstantin didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment, he just stared blankly at the ring on his left ring finger.

Beria turned his head nonchalantly, took a fork and pointed at the cake on the plate.He said in a nonchalant tone: "I was thinking about when it would be more appropriate to give it to you, but now it seems that the sooner the better."

As he spoke, he put a forkful of the cake into his mouth. The soft and sweet flavor in his mouth and the sweetness of kirsch made Beria nod secretly. It was worthwhile for him to experiment with more than 30 formula ratios.It was mainly the fermented rice that needed to be added to the Black Forest cake, and the variety and year of the cherries made him think for a long time.

Constantine's finger lightly touched the rosebud on the ring, and then withdrew his hand abruptly.He cleared his throat and said, "Isn't the rose ring a bit too feminine?"

How can a man wear such an exquisite ring.

"Femininity?" Beria paused, turned to look at Constantine, and said puzzledly, "What's wrong with the rose ring? Roses are only liked by women? Didn't you like black roses very much before?"

"Cough, that's not what I meant." Konstantin's fingers on his left hand were extremely stiff, especially his ring finger. He subconsciously repelled even the bending movement, and his fingers were very stiff now.

Beria couldn't help chuckling, he put down the plate in his hand, and reached out to hold Constantine's left hand.

His palm lightly stroked the back of the human hand, and when it was removed, the rose ring disappeared, replaced by a tattoo-like rosebud on the ring finger, with a circle of thorny roots around the finger.

The ball of Belial's thumb lightly stroked the location of the flower bud tattoo, and said softly: "When you think it over clearly, it will return to the state of the ring, but no matter what, you don't want to take it off."

"...I don't mean to take it off, Beria." Constantine pursed his lips, wanting to go back in time and kill himself half an hour ago.

What's going on here.

Only then did Beria feel relieved, took Constantine's hand, and kissed the rose patterned ring finger.

Most of the cake was treated as dinner. Although Constantine appreciated the cookies, this kind of cream product was generally indifferent.But Beria's craftsmanship is surprisingly good, the Black Forest cake is sweet but not greasy, Konstantin ate half of it without paying attention.

On the balcony of the apartment, Beria and Konstantin were sitting together.

The weather tonight is actually not very good. Although there is no rain, the dark clouds that drift past from time to time can always block the moon.But with Belia, the dark clouds were directly dispelled, revealing a bright and bright moon.

There are still two hours until midnight.

Behind them, the lights in the living room were on, and the colorful light sprinkled in the living room, falling on the black roses with petals stretching around the window lattice walls.

For New York, ten o'clock in the evening is just nighttime.The outlines of buildings in the distance are clearly visible, and Constantine can even see the conspicuous letter A signboard of the Avengers Building.

Constantine stared at the light in the distance, unconsciously stroking the patterned ring finger with his fingertips.He sighed silently, and then said softly: "I remember, I was sent to... a nursing home at the age of ten, if there was no daily treatment..." After a pause, Konstantin lightly crossed the topic and continued Said: "There are a few patients in it, which are actually very interesting."

Belia tilted his head slightly, and looked at the humans quietly with his black eyes.

"Old Tom in the ward next to me, he's been there most of his life, 24 hours a day, except for six hours of sleep, six hours of shouting the Emancipation of the Crazy Asylum Manifesto, adapted from the Emancipation Proclamation, calling for the overthrow of Dominion of doctors and nurses. Six hours of rambling about the various parts of the sanatorium, such as where is the exit, where is the underground waterway, where to dig the tunnel so that everyone can fly over the madhouse - of course, what is the exit It’s all nonsense, and the worst thing is, I believed his nonsense at the time, stole the spoon from the cafeteria and dug the corner of the wall for three months.”

As a result, the spoons were broken, and he failed to dig the corner.

Constantine pouted, really didn't want to admit that he was so stupid back then.

"There are still six hours, except for the three hours when he was taken away for 'treatment', the rest of the time he..." Constantine's eyes became soft and nostalgic, and he murmured: "He is reciting to me "Bible"."

Three hours of reciting the Bible through the wall drove young John Constantine crazy, because the daily "therapy" was enough to make him miserable.As for him, the strange child whose mother would grab his hand and force him to recite the Bible with her whenever he mentioned the ghosts and evil spirits he saw, he subconsciously had a headache when someone mentioned even a word in the Bible.

The so-called "God so loved the world", he didn't feel God's love at all, but only felt the malice that hit his face every day.

If God loves the world, please throw out this group of vicious ghosts and evil spirits that hang around before His eyes all day long and frighten Him at every turn.

Why can't others see it, why is he the only one who can see it, why is he the only one who has to face the malice of those evil spirits?

The so-called love does not become a fact after being repeated a hundred times.

In short, Constantine at that time hated those guys who couldn't see the same terrifying existence as him, couldn't experience the daily collapse, but still comforted him on his own, asking him to persevere and not give up.

People like that are annoying.

But amidst the repeated nagging of old Tom next door, it seemed that the number of vicious ghosts and evil spirits that came to harass him all day long seemed to have really decreased.

Later, Konstantin learned that the reason why old Tom entered the nursing home was because he lost his wife in a car accident and talked to the air all day long. His children thought he was sick and sent him to the nursing home.In fact, he really saw the ghost of his dead wife.

She stayed in the world for him, and stayed by his side.

But old Tom thought that he was really sick in repeated treatments. He felt that the wife who appeared beside him was false, and he stopped talking to her.

So one day, he could no longer see the ghost of his dead wife.

He began to regret it, went crazy for it, and spent almost the rest of his life in the nursing home.

He can't find a way out of his lucidity and confusion until Constantine is admitted to the hospital.

A little guy with delusional disorder who thinks he can see ghosts.

The ability to hell is a talent, although Constantine never prayed for this talent, but this talent is a kind of gift and trial.

Old Tom gave up, so he lost the possibility of ever seeing his wife again.Although Constantine knew about Old Tom's situation, he didn't think it was a good thing for the dead to stay in the world.The memory of the undead is easy to be obliterated. When old Tom keeps denying her existence, the wife who lost the last trace of contact with the world will gradually lose her memory of being a human being and be taken away by heaven or hell.

It's much better than staying in the world and forgetting everything and then turning into an evil spirit because of instinct.

The dim memories of the sanatorium when he was a teenager, unexpectedly brought a little bright color when he mentioned old Tom.

It wasn't total despair, it was just that John Constantine couldn't see it at the time.

Then, he talked about Biman, the insect master and folklore expert, who has many friends in the wizarding world, and he never forgets to bring him some weird weapons every time he goes out.He has to say, some weapons are awkward to use though, like holding a box with a blood beetle in it.Although their calls frighten some monsters, they are similar to the screams made by being strangled...Konstantin never uses them in crowded places, so as not to be regarded as a pervert by others.

Biman likes bugs, although Constantine can't feel the charm of bugs at all, except that they are useful sometimes.

Beria thought about it, worms... In fact, there are quite a few weird worms in hell, but he can pack some and give them to his human friends.

Constantine also talked about Hannessy.Hannessy's talent for hell is worse than ordinary ability for hell, so he has to drink a lot of alcohol to numb his perception, so as not to inadvertently hear too many voices that don't belong to the world.He had taken off Hannessy's amulet after that exorcism in Chinatown in Los Angeles, and he wanted Hannessy to listen for him.

Hannasey complied, he heard the voice of hell calling Isabel, he went to see the body of Isabel who committed suicide and was nearly killed by Balthazar.This made Constantine very regretful, although thinking about it, he was very annoyed that Hannaxi didn't inform him first when he discovered the strange thing, and ran to the morgue by himself.

If he hadn't met Dr. Spencer Reed, a human being with the blessing of Seraphim, he might have been able to help him collect his body.

Balthazar... Hearing this name again, Beria decided to make a mark on Mammon's dog.

Constantine also talked about Chas, the little guy who was eager to learn exorcism from him, but he wasn't sure if he should teach him, because he knew that was the way to go.

Constantine felt that if he wanted to learn the spell of exorcism, the first and foremost prerequisite must be that his life was hard enough.Although Constantine himself suffered from lung cancer, his life was very hard when he was fighting the devil before.They couldn't kill Constantine under the laws of the world, and in the end they used his terminal illness that could not be cured by manpower to kill him.

He also talked about a thing or two about him cheating on demons.There will always be demons who feel they won't repeat the same mistakes as previous demons, but unfortunately, Constantine always has a way to make them fall into the pit.

I don't know how many demons waited for Constantine to fall into hell in the eyes of hell, but unfortunately, Gabriel intervened and he survived.

When Constantine said this, Beria couldn't help laughing.Even if they are both in the hell camp, even if Beria has 72 Demon God Pillars in addition to the Fallen Angel Legion, he still does not have a good impression of the existence of demons. Close one eye.

There was a gentle smile in the eyes of the Lord of Hell. He clasped Constantine's fingers and pretended to be mysterious: "Then do you know how the 72 Demon God Pillar appeared?"

Constantine coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "According to "Revelation of Hell", 72 pillars of demon gods were born in the deepest part of hell, Pandimaninan, and each pillar is entangled with a big demon, and they surround the hall of demons. , is the most loyal follower of Beria, Lord of Hell."

However, although Constantine's expression was serious and serious, his eyes were filled with a playful smile.

"The most loyal follower?" Beria looked at Constantine with some surprise, and said, "Then what is really written in the "Apocalypse of Hell"? Seriously?"

Constantine nodded vigorously, and immediately remembered the attitude of the king of hell towards Mammon in the previous incident where Mammon attempted to break into the world to become king.He couldn't help lowering his voice, and asked in a low voice: "Also, Mammon is the son of Lucifer..."

Constantine didn't continue because he saw Beria's face go blank when he said the word "son".

This attitude says it all.

"Son, son?" Beria looked at Constantine in a daze, and slowly repeated: "You said, Mammon, is Lucy's son?! This is also written in "Revelation of Hell" ?”

Constantine blinked innocently and nodded.

"Satan." Beria couldn't help holding his forehead, and said, "Did the person who wrote this book deliberately smear Lucy? Lucy obviously didn't even have... in the past 20 years, and Lilith didn't even... The hem of Xi's clothes didn't even touch a bit, and as a result, she didn't know who she was born with, but became Lucy's son instead? This is slander."

Bella frowned tightly.He has been living in Pandemani South all these years, only looking at his human beings from time to time, never thinking that the rumors in the world are so outrageous.

How can Lucy like Lilith!

Constantine tilted his head, it's not his fault, that's how it was written in "Apocalypse of Hell".When he saw it from Biman, he read the dark version of the Bible with an academic research mentality at first, but after reading a few pages, Constantine read it as an unofficial history of hell without paying attention.

All kinds of things recorded in it, aside from the authenticity, heck, the writing is actually quite wonderful.

Constantine felt that it was necessary for him to save Beria, who had fallen into thinking about the time of his life, so he asked, "You haven't said how the real 72 Demon God Pillars appeared. It is said that the power of the Demon God in the 72 Demon Gods Not inferior to the Lords of Hell, but their status is lower than Lords of Hell, right?"

Constantine had an intuition that there was a story in it.

Belial let out a long breath, and said slowly: "Among the 72 demon gods, the strength of the first ten demon gods is indeed not inferior to the great demons at the lord level. Mammon and Beelzebub, it's just that they didn't have the awareness of those few demons at first."

Beria said indifferently: "You know, before Lucy entered Hell, there were ten of them at the lord level who ruled one side of Hell."

The reason why they are bound to the Demon God Pillar, they have no territory and no power, no matter how powerful they are, they are still a head short of Mamen and the others in name, because——

"I was in a bad mood at the time." Beria looked into Constantine's eyes and told the truth that made the master of black magic stare.

"Luci was thrown into the endless abyss at that time, and one-third of the angels in heaven fell. At that time, they were suffering from the pain of transformation, but the group of demons in hell..." Beria sneered, "but they wanted to come here Pick up cheap."

Therefore, Beria, a chaotic attribute, dyed black is as easy as drinking water and eating, painless, and the Seraph, whose strength has increased a lot, picked up a weapon and an angel chopped them clean.

But this was not enough to make Beria feel better, because Lucy hadn't come out of the abyss yet.Before Lucy, no one fell into the abyss but could come out alive.

There was a lot of trouble in heaven, and they didn't take the opportunity to hunt down and kill these transforming fallen angels.The human world is not a good place for them to stay. On the other hand, the dark power of hell is suitable for the complete transformation of fallen angels.

As the only Fallen Angel at Seraph level at that time, Beria took on the responsibility of leading this group of Fallen Angels.

Beria broke into hell with the group of fallen angels.He didn't let the group of fallen angels who hadn't been completely transformed do anything at all. An angel slaughtered all the demons that stood in the way.

The so-called one-third of the demons in hell that Lucifer slaughtered when he entered hell, in fact, more than half were slaughtered by Beria.If it hadn't been for Beria to remember that the group of demons from hell are barely standing in the same camp as them now, these fallen angels alone are not enough to fight against the army of heaven, and they still need some cannon fodder, so Beria stopped and turned And tie those thorns to the stone pillar with chains.

In the final analysis, the appearance of the 72 Demon God Pillars was a means used by Beria to deter the demons in hell.

The author has something to say: #818Spicy is always a reality that is very different from the legend#

Constantine: ………… So, were you so cruel before?

Beria: That’s why I’ve said it all, you just think I’m innocent, so spread your hands.

***

According to the legend, Lucifer fell for seven days and nights, so what about the fallen angels at that time?They couldn't fall together, so Beria, who had the highest level among the Fallen Angels and was the strongest, and who had no side effects from switching in a second, took the lead.

Beria said that he was in a bad mood at first, and the group of demons continued to add chaos, and they would kill whoever they didn't!

Therefore, Beria stayed in hell no matter how many demons dared to say anything.
