Los Angeles, Midnight Bar.
Although the name of the bar sounds vulgar, it actually has other meanings. The "midnight" in Papa Midnight and Midnight Bar refers to twelve o'clock at noon, which is the middle of the day and represents the absolute Fairness favors neither good nor evil.
This is also the situational criterion of Papa Midnight, he is absolutely neutral, and under normal circumstances he will not be biased towards evil or good.
And this also means the strength of Father Midnight. After all, weaker people are not qualified to choose their own position, let alone neutrality. Even if this is because the strong in heaven and hell cannot easily interfere in the world, it is still It proved how powerful Papa Midnight is.
At least in the movie, neither Constantine nor Baldasar dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
Midnight Bar is located in downtown Los Angeles. It looks like an ordinary bar, but you can only enter the real midnight bar after entering the bar and then going through a special passage to the basement floor.
The real midnight bar is not open to ordinary people, and you must pass the test if you want to enter it, even if it is a person brought by a member.
The test is not difficult. The bodyguard at the door is holding a card blessed by magic spells, allowing people to guess the patterns on it. As long as they have a certain magic foundation, superpowers, or strong thoughts, they can guess right. Huang Chang and Constantine couldn't be stopped at all, but the poor little driver Chas was stopped just like in the movie.
Afterwards, Huang Chang and Constantine entered the bar.
Because it was still daytime, there were not many customers in this bar specially built for extraordinary people, and it was relatively quiet. Afterwards, Constantine walked through the bar of the bar with his yellow clothes, and entered Papa Midnight's room. office.
...
The door opened, and a black man wearing a fine suit, wearing a top hat, wearing a scarf, smoking a cigar, and wearing various gold chains and rings was sitting at the desk. back chair.
This is Papa Midnight!
Father Midnight was not surprised by the arrival of Huang Shang and Constantine. He glanced at Constantine and said with a sneer, "John Constantine, long time no see. I heard that you are dying, and Satan has made an appointment Your soul... God, you don't know how happy I was when I heard the news... ahem, sadness."
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then shifted his gaze to Huang Chang: "Haven't you been doing good deeds recently, preparing for your own funeral? Why did you suddenly come to me when you have time, and you also brought a Come here with a fresh face...Damn it, my gut tells me you're not going to bring me any good news."
The relationship between Papa Midnight and Constantine is very complicated. They are both enemies and friends. They have cooperated many times and backstabbed each other many times. It can only be said that they are quite capable.
"I'm here for help, man."
Constantine has long been used to Father Midnight's sarcasm. He lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said with a smile, "With our friendship, you will help me, won't you?"
"The only thing I will help you is to offer a flower on your grave."
Dad Midnight said coldly: "Also, let me remind you that although my bar is neutral, there are many people inside and outside the bar who want to kill you...Damn it, do you know how many people you have offended?"
"But I also have many friends, such as you, don't you!"
Constantine curled his lips, then looked serious, and said: "Also, don't talk about bullshit neutrality with me, do you know that there are demons who have entered the world, and there are not just one, but many!"
Speaking of this, Constantine's tone became extremely serious: "I have reason to suspect that hell is planning to invade the world. I need your help, buddy!"
"Are you crazy?"
Father Midnight was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed loudly: "Hell invades the world? This is the funniest joke I have heard in these years. Don't you know the bet between heaven and hell? As far as I know, immediately The two who made the bet are very committed and follow the rules."
"At least more credible than you!"
Speaking of this, Father Midnight waved his hand and said: "If you came this time to make me laugh, then congratulations, you succeeded, but if you want to deceive me again...then get out with me Don't think I don't know that you want to escape the fate of falling into hell, but you shouldn't make this kind of lie, what do you want to do, start a war, and then take the opportunity to get out?"
I can’t blame Father Midnight for not believing Constantine’s words. The main reason is that Constantine’s dark history is too much, and the bet between Satan and God has lasted for thousands of years and has never been broken. How could he believe a scumbag unless he was out of his mind?
Especially this scumbag is about to fall into hell!
So he is ready to drive people away now, it doesn't matter if Constantine dies or not, anyway, don't die in his bar, or it will be bad luck to lure Satan here.
"Damn, I have evidence, midnight!"
Seeing that Father Midnight didn't believe his words at all, Constantine couldn't help roaring, pointing at Huang Chang and said, "Just last night, he expelled a hell demon soldier from a girl's body, you should know this What does it mean!"
"In addition, he also got some information from the hell demon soldier, proving that more hell demon soldiers came to the world and possessed some girls. Damn it, if your head hasn't If it is filled with alcohol, then you should have someone check it out, and I promise you will get something!"
Speaking of this, Constantine suddenly asked: "Or have you completely surrendered to the devil?"
"I think I can testify for Papa Midnight on that."
"We did try to win him over more than once, but he was too stubborn and kept neutral, so we all failed."
At this moment, a faint laughter came, and then Baldasar, who was wearing a suit and combed back his hair, came over with a glass of wine.
He still maintained a refined demeanor, looked chic and friendly, and even had a gentle and kind smile on his face. He raised his glass to Constantine and said with a smile: "Constantine, long time no see , I heard that you will come down to join us soon, believe me, I will entertain you well then."
"It's not just me, there are many old friends of yours waiting for you down there... They can't wait."
Speaking of this, a bloody red light flashed in his eyes, and his body also exuded the unique sulfur smell of demons.
He was going to deal with Henness first, but when he received information from his subordinates that Constantine was going to the Midnight Bar, he was worried that things might change, so he rushed over immediately.
Father Midnight's strength in the world is not bad, and he doesn't want to make troubles under the current situation.
After all, once the plan is leaked, Gabriel will still be Gabriel, and Mammon will still be Mammon. Satan may punish Mammon for hundreds of years, but he will never kill his own children easily. The end will be miserable!
Satan will never let him go!
"Baldasar?!"
Seeing Baldassar's appearance, Constantine's eyes flashed brightly: "It's a coincidence that you came, or are those demonic incidents related to you?"
Speaking of this, Constantine took out a golden glove from his pocket and put it on his hand, showing a ferocious smile: "Or do you want me to teach you a lesson before you tell me?"
This finger cot was carefully made by Constantine, a weapon specially used to deal with demons. The four protrusions on it are each engraved with a cross, and the gold used to make the finger cot was also named by the archbishop named Annikot during the Crusades. The blessed special material is extremely lethal to demons.
In the past, he might not have dared to be too arrogant towards Baldasha, but now that he has Huang Shang as his teammate by his side, he has nothing to be afraid of!
