In the world of " Hell Detective," humans were the toys that God and Satan fought over. Naturally, some people would be favored by God or Satan, and all kinds of talents would appear on these people.
For example, the main character John Constantine, and the bounty hunter industry, which had been passed down from the Middle Ages to the present, still maintained its ancient tradition. Bounty hunters were an organization where talented humans joined forces to fight against dark creatures. Just like dark creatures, they had their own unique rules.
Although newborn vampires or newly awakened werewolves could obtain training memories through their bloodline, some of the rules and codes of conduct of the underworld needed a newcomer to guide them.
Unfortunately, as an ordinary person, Constantine didn't receive any training. He was observed like a mental patient, and no one believed his words. In the endless torture of love, he chose to commit suicide.
John Constantine, the protagonist of the world who was watched by both God and Satan, had always lived in fear because of his eyes that could see angels and demons. Sleeping pills became a way for him to resolve this pain. However, the code of law in the Bible stipulated that the soul of those who committed suicide would fall into hell. Let John... Constantine, a talented person, had truly experienced a bloody journey through hell.
Thump... Thump... Dong...' John's heart, which had stopped beating, started beating again. Constantine slowly opened his eyes. He was very familiar with the white ceiling in the ward.
"So…There really was hell! Hehehe... Will I go to that place after I die?”John Constantine muttered to himself.
John, who had swallowed 50 sleeping pills. Constantine was found by his family in time and sent to the hospital. After a simple gastric pump, he had already woken up. However, the pair of eyes that could see angels and demons that were taken care of by God and Satan at the same time had given him the ability to see angels and demons. It allowed him to see the bloody world of hell.
After a simple gastric washout, John. Constantine had already been discharged from the hospital, and he was walking on the streets like a zombie. Everyone knew that they would die one day. However, when a person truly knew where they would go after death, they would not be able to escape. That fear would accompany him every second.
That bloody world of hell. The air was as hot as magma. Breathing in the air, the scorching air seemed to be able to burn his lungs. There were demons everywhere that had been scorched by the scorching temperature. The water in their bodies had already evaporated by the scorching temperature. Every time a fresh routi descended into the bloody world of hell, countless demons would swarm over, eager to eat this fresh flesh and blood to replenish their exhausted bodies.
Clang, clang, clang…The sound of the bell rang out from the church along with the hymn of the gospel.
The numb John. Constantine raised his head in a daze and looked at the church in front of him.
The stained glass windows were painted with stories from the Bible, the dome was painted with angels, and the ancient clock tower showed the vicissitudes of history. The golden buttresses were carved with golden patterns. In front of the ancient organ, a priest in a white robe was playing a beautiful tune. The suffering Jesus was nailed to the cross with a miserable expression.
"Church? Hehe…I've seen hell…What does heaven look like?" Thinking of John. Constantine walked in.
The devout believers were praising the Lord's gospel and praising the light that the Lord had brought to the world. The holy atmosphere in the church made people feel at peace.
Rows of benches were filled with praying believers. The believers placed the donations in the basket and passed it on to the next person. John Constantine walked straight into an empty confessional.‘Swoosh...' He pulled the curtain and the small cubicle was filled with the smell of alcohol. John Constantine frowned.
"Speak... Uh... Child, do you have anything to tell the Lord?”Through the wooden board, a loud voice could be heard, as if he was drunk. He even burped as he spoke.
John Constantine smiled helplessly." Are the priests here all drunk confessors?”
"Hehehe…Child, the alcohol has numbed my body. But it didn't numb my soul! Do you have anything to say to the Lord?" The drunk Priest on the other side of the partition said indifferently.
"What does heaven look like?" John Constantine asked.
"Heaven? The light of the city was like an extremely precious gem, like jade that was as bright as crystal. The walls were made of jade, and the city was made of pure gold. The city did not need the sun and moon to shine, because the glory of God shone on it. Every house would never close their doors, because there was no darkness there!”The drunken Priest said.
John As the priest described it, Constantine imagined what heaven would look like, comparing it to the bloody and hot hell. She smiled helplessly. But... After I die, I will enter that bloody hell!”
The priest sitting on the other side of the partition was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that this was an ordinary person who was repenting. He had already explained this question countless times according to the words in the Bible. Today, this penitent boy seemed to have a lot on his mind.
"Child, God is forgiving. Everyone has the chance to enter heaven. No matter what kind of sin you commit, God will forgive you!”the priest said softly.
"What if it was suicide? Can you go to heaven like this?" John Constantine asked anxiously. No one wanted to stay in this bloody hell for even a second.
" Uh..." Hearing the boy's words, the drunk priest was speechless. It was recorded in the Bible that the soul who committed suicide would fall into hell and suffer the torment of fire. If one wanted to end their life by committing suicide, only hell was the place for the dead.
Listening to the boy's words, the priest believed that the boy had a tendency to commit suicide. As a cleric, it was of course his duty to save a soul that was about to fall into hell.
"Child, there are many things in this world that can make people nostalgic. Kinship, love, friendship, and a beautiful life need to be tempered to bring out its beauty. Why would you want to end your life by committing suicide? In that case, his soul would fall into hell!”the priest advised.
"Is that so? But I've already committed suicide once! I've also seen the bloody world of hell. If I do a lot of good deeds, can I exchange it for a chance to enter heaven?”John Constantine said.
The drunken priest was shocked when he heard that the other party had actually seen the scenes in hell. Souls that committed suicide would fall into hell. He had never heard of anyone who could return to the human world from hell. The priest's eyes lit up. It seemed that this boy must have been given some special talent by the heavens.
"Child, can you tell me, why did you commit suicide?"”
"In order to be free, in order not to see those demons that can be seen everywhere! Those demons that had been bothering me since I was born made me want to end my life by committing suicide! But when I saw the bloody world of hell…I was afraid…I'm scared to death! He was afraid that he would really enter that bloody world in the future! Father. Can you help me?" John Constantine pleaded. When a drowning person saw a straw floating on the surface of the water, even if they knew that it could not withstand their weight, they would still desperately grab onto the straw! John Constantine was like a drowning man, desperately trying to grab hold of all hope.
When the drunk priest heard the boy's words, he stood up. Being able to see those evil and ugly demons is a gift from God to mankind. Although I don't know if you can still go to heaven, I can take you on another path, a path that can bring out your talent!”The priest walked out of the confessional. He lifted the curtain next door.
"Allow me to introduce myself. Hanison! It was the priest of the church! He's also a person who has the same talent as you!”Faust. Han Nisen said with a smile.
John Constantine was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there would be someone like him in this world. Looking at the other party's outstretched hand, he was stunned for a moment before he held the other party's hand. "I... My name is John. Constantine. Priest, can you help me? What I said is true. I don't want to enter that bloody world after I die.”John Constantine said excitedly.
Faust. A kind smile appeared on Han Nissen's drunken face. "Child…No one in this world was willing to enter hell! Child, I am just like you. I have a gift from God. Only one in millions of people would be able to obtain God's favor with such a special talent. Believe me, although I don't know if I can help you get to heaven, at least we tried, right?”
Listening to the other party's words, John. Constantine's dead heart was rekindled with hope, and he quickly asked,""Then…Then what should I do?"
"Hehe…Child, come with me. Since you have the talent bestowed upon you by God and have seen what hell looks like, you should know that demons and angels exist in reality.”After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the small door beside the confession room.
John Constantine followed this man named Faust. Hannison's Priest walked through the small door. There was a flight of stairs that extended downwards. At the end of the darkness. There was no end to it, and the pitch-black passage could only accommodate one person. John, who had even seen hell. What was Constantine afraid of? Even if this priest wanted to harm him, he could just go back to hell. The crooked stairs continued to extend downwards. After walking for two minutes, the naked eye could see the pitch-black passageway. He could no longer see anything. The priest seemed to be used to this dark passage. He took out an old kerosene lamp at the corner. The matchbean-sized light was accompanied by a faint smell of sulfur. The priest lit the kerosene lamp in his hand with a match and gently closed the lampshade.
"We'll be there in a while! Child…" Faust. said Han Nissen softly.
"Yes…" John, who was following behind him. Constantine replied softly.
The tunnel seemed to extend underground, and the dim light of the kerosene lamp could only illuminate a radius of two to three meters in front of him. John Constantine followed the priest for more than ten minutes. As if they had reached the end, a thick stone wall appeared in front of them.
Faust. Hanison turned around and smiled at John. Constantine said," Child, are you ready? Let me bring you into the world of bounty hunters!”As he spoke, he reached out to touch an inconspicuous bulge on the stone wall and pressed it.‘Rumble…The stone wall slowly rose like a gate. The light from the other side gradually illuminated the dark passage.
John Constantine was also in Faust. Under Han Nissen's lead, they entered another world. A world that exposed reality.
John Constantine was in Faust. Under Hannison's lead, they entered the world of bounty hunters. When the stone door behind the narrow passage opened, an underground space about the size of three football fields appeared. In front of Constantine.
Rows of bookshelves were filled with brick-thick books. People came and went in all kinds of clothes. There were clergymen wearing the uniforms of priests and priests, and there were also rock-and-roll men and women wearing leather clothes.
"This place…Is this a library?" John Constantine asked in a daze.
Faust. A proud expression appeared on Han Nissen's face as he turned around. He said softly,"This is not the library!" This was a place that protected humans from being devoured by demons and the Dark Holy Lake. We call the bounty hunter world the Los Angeles bounty hunter branch.”After saying that, Faust. Han Nissen took out a small steel flagon he carried with him, unscrewed the lid, and put it to his mouth. He took a sip of the strong liquor in the flagon.
"Ha…" He let out a breath of alcohol.
Today is Saturday. Please have mercy on me. I'm trying my best to write…
