Los Angeles, midnight bar.
Although the name of the bar sounds a bit vulgar, it actually has a deeper meaning. The "midnight" in Midnight Dad and Midnight Bar refers to twelve o'clock at noon, which is the center of the day and represents the absolute Fairness favors neither good nor evil.
This is also the principle of Midnight Father's situation. He is absolutely neutral. 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 men in heaven and hell cannot easily interfere in the human world, this still It proves how powerful Father Midnight is.
At least in the movie, neither Constantine nor Baldasha dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
The Midnight Bar is located in downtown Los Angeles. It looks just like an ordinary bar, but you can only enter the real midnight bar after entering the bar and then passing through a special passage to the basement level.
The real midnight bar is not open to ordinary people. If you want to enter, you must pass a test, even those brought by members.
The test is not difficult. The bodyguard at the door holds a card blessed with magic spells, allowing people to guess the pattern on it. Anyone with a certain foundation in magic, superpowers, or strong telepathy can guess it correctly. Huang Shang and Constantine couldn't be stopped at all, but the poor driver Chas was stopped just like the plot in the movie.
Later, Huang Shang and Constantine entered the bar.
Because it was still daytime, there were not many customers in this bar specially built for extraordinary people, so it was quite quiet. Then Constantine led Huang Shang through the bar counter of the bar in a familiar way and entered Father Midnight's. office.
…
The door opened, and a black man wearing a fine suit, a top hat, a scarf, smoking a cigar, and various gold chains and rings hanging on his body, looking like a rich man, was sitting at the desk. on the chair behind.
This is Midnight Daddy!
Father Midnight was not surprised by the arrival of Huang Shang and Constantine. He glanced at Constantine and sneered: "John Constantine, long time no see. I heard that you are about to die, and Satan has made a reservation. Your soul...god, you don't know how happy I was when I heard the news...ahem, sad."
Having said this, he paused slightly, and then moved his gaze to Huang Shang: "Have you not been doing good deeds recently and preparing for your own funeral? Why are you suddenly free to come to my place, and you also brought a Come here with a strange face... Damn it, my gut tells me you won't bring me any good news."
The relationship between Midnight Dad and Constantine is very complicated. They are both enemies and friends. They have cooperated many times and stabbed each other in the back many times. To be able to survive to this day, I can only say that they are both pretty good at what they do.
"I'm here for help, man."
Constantine had long been accustomed to Father Midnight's cynicism. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said with a smile: "With our friendship, you will help me, right?"
"The only thing I can do for you is to place a flower on your grave."
Father 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 your life... Damn it, do you know how many people you have offended?"
"But I also have a lot of friends, like you, don't I?"
Constantine curled his lips, then looked solemn and said: "Also, don't talk to me about bullshit neutrality. Do you know that there are demons who have entered the world, and there is not just one, but many!"
At this point, Constantine's tone became extremely serious: "I have reason to suspect that hell is planning to invade the human world. I need your help, man!"
"Are you crazy?"
Father Midnight was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed: "Hell invades the human 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 people 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 here to make me laugh, congratulations, you succeeded, but if you want to deceive me again... then get out of here with me. ! Don’t think that I don’t know that you want to escape the fate of falling into hell, but you shouldn’t create such lies. What do you want to do, start a war, and then take the opportunity to escape?”
We can’t blame Father Midnight for not believing what Constantine said. The main reason is that Constantine has too many dark histories, and the bet between Satan and God has lasted for thousands of years and has never been broken. In this kind of situation, Under these circumstances, unless there is something wrong with his mind, how could he believe a scumbag's words?
Especially since this scumbag is about to fall into hell!
So he is now ready to start driving people away. It doesn't matter whether Constantine dies or not. Anyway, don't die in his bar, otherwise it will be bad luck if Satan is attracted.
"Damn, I have proof, Midnight!"
Seeing that Father Midnight didn't believe his words at all, Constantine couldn't help roaring, pointing at Huang Shang and saying: "Just last night, he expelled a hell demon soldier from a girl's body. You should know this It means something!”
"In addition, he also got some information from the hell demon soldiers, which proves that more hell demon soldiers have come to the world and are possessing some girls. Damn it, if your head hasn't been If it’s filled with alcohol, then you should have someone check it out, I guarantee you’ll find something!”
Having said this, Constantine suddenly asked: "Or have you completely surrendered to the devil?"
"I think I can vouch for Father Midnight on that one."
"We did try to win over him more than once, but he was too stubborn and remained neutral, so we all failed."
At this moment, a faint laughter came, and then Baldasha, wearing a suit and slicked back hair, came over with a glass of wine.
He still maintained an elegant 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 definitely entertain you well then."
"It's not just me, there are many of your old friends down there waiting for you... They can't wait."
Speaking of this, his eyes flashed with a scarlet light, and his body exuded the devil's unique smell of sulfur.
He was originally going to deal with Hernis first, but he received intelligence from his subordinates and knew that Constantine was going to the midnight bar. He was worried that things had changed, so he rushed over as soon as possible.
Father Midnight is quite powerful in the human world, but he doesn’t want to cause trouble in this 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, but as a coolie and a young boy, he It will end badly!
Satan will never let him go!
"Baldasha?!"
Seeing Baldasha appear, a gleam flashed in Constantine's eyes: "It's a coincidence that you came here, or are those demonic incidents related to you?"
Having said this, Constantine took out a golden glove from his arms 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 as a weapon specially used to deal with demons. Each of the four protrusions on it was engraved with a cross. The gold used to make the finger cot was also used by the archbishop named Annicott during the Crusades. The special materials that have been blessed are 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 a teammate by his side, he has nothing to fear!
