The Weak Have No Right to Neutrality (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader "Still Came Back to Read the Official Version")

In the private café room, Russell listened to Constantine's narration while recalling the plot, comparing the two to determine whether he was qualified to participate in this 'major event'.

A person should know their own limitations!

First and foremost, one must know one's own limitations. Only by understanding oneself can one truly understand the world!

Looking at the anti-smoking propaganda film "Constantine", there are three characters who can be considered big shots in the plot: Satan/ Lucifer and Manmon from the Hell faction, and Gabriel from the Heaven faction.

There's not much to say about Satan; he's the devil leader in Western religious mythology, the infamous final boss of hell, and God's eternal enemy.

In this film, he is a 'person' who wears a white suit, walks with an aura of depravity and filth, and whose appearance is the complete opposite of God.

His behavior was eccentric and his speech and actions were strange, yet he was not lacking in humor, but this could not hide his evil and ruthless nature.

Of the three powerful figures, Satan is the most dangerous, yet also the safest.

The danger stems from his immense power; no one but God can defeat him.

The safety stemmed from his keeping his promise. He made a bet with God that neither of them would interfere in human affairs, and whether humans went to heaven or hell was entirely up to them to choose.

Satan succeeded, spending his days hiding in Hell and ignoring humanity. Had Constantine not used the alluring promise of souls as bait, he wouldn't even have known that his son had nearly conquered the earth.

Of course, Satan's inaction might be because he didn't want to lose the bet, so he didn't directly attack any human, even Constantine, who had deceived him. He only used his unique remedy for lung cancer on Constantine... a lung cleanse in hell!

Let's talk about the second big shot, Madon's son, Manmon!

It's important to emphasize here that it's "Manmeng" (曼蒙), not "Maimeng" (卖萌).

Although he was just a minor character throughout the story, and as the originally planned final boss, he had no other achievements besides being beaten up by his own father, which was quite endearing.

But this is just the surface. Losing to Satan is not shameful; many people would rather lose than have the right to do so.

As the son of Satan, Manmon corresponds to Jesus, the son of God. This character alone is enough to highlight his prestige.

As a super second-generation heir from hell, Manmon harbors ambitions to surpass his father's authority and attempts to descend to earth to establish his own hell of fire and blood.

If Constantine hadn't used his fragrant soul to lure Satan, staging a scene of whipping his rebellious son until he cried for his parents, the earth would have perished, and the balance between hell and heaven would have been broken.

At that time, it will be two hells versus one heaven, and the result is self-evident: hell will lose again!

This shows that experience matters, and Manmon is too young.

In conclusion, although Manmon has a dismal record and a short-sighted vision, his unwillingness to abide by the rules makes him even more dangerous than Satan.

Correspondingly, as long as we prevent him from descending to earth, the level of danger is approximately zero.

Let's talk about the last boss – Gabriel!

As a renowned high-ranking angel, Gabriel is a Seraphim, the highest-ranking angel in the three orders and nine levels of hierarchy. He is the second-in-command of countless angels, holding a high position and great power.

In this film, Gabriel appears as a woman, and her appearance...

This is yet another face that Russell couldn't help but criticize. In Russell's camera, there's a photo of him with a bald version of her, and he's even making a peace sign.

Gabriel's deeds are too numerous to recount here.

Gabriel, in this film, is a radical who ruins her image. All the conspiracies start with her. She carries the wings of an angel but does the work of a hidden boss.

Because of Gabriel's peculiar understanding of human atonement, he sought to bring disaster to earth in order to inspire true faith in humanity. He used the ambitious Manmont to provide him with the opportunity to descend to earth.

Gabriel's ideas and actions were contrary to God's, and even Satan scoffed at them.

Therefore, during the battle with Satan, God stripped her of her divine power, and the wings that represented angels were burned to Hellfire, reducing her to an ordinary human being, waiting for enlightenment before she could return to heaven.

Gabriel, as a hidden boss, is paranoid and arrogant. He is willing to harm humanity and destroy the world to achieve his goals.

If a battle were to break out, she would be the most likely enemy among the three bosses.

"Well, Russell, I've said everything. What are your thoughts?" Constantine's throat was parched. He picked up his coffee, took a sip, found it didn't quench his thirst, lit a cigarette, and immediately felt better.

"I don't have any thoughts. If I had to say I do, it would be like listening to a story. These people are really bored out of their minds!" Russell picked up his glass of iced water and took a sip.

Angela was dumbfounded and said, "But you're an angel too! After hearing this, didn't you think of any clues?"

Russell shook his head immediately. What clues could an outsider like him have? Even Gabriel, whom he knew best, wasn't a person.

Constantine was dumbfounded. "Buddy, you have a Heavenly background, you can't be completely clueless, can you?"

"The intelligence is all in the Bible; God has already revealed everything!" Russell's face hardened, and he solemnly picked up the Starlight Sapphire Cross on his chest.

The dazzling light nearly blinded Constantine and Angela, who raised their hands to shield their eyes and asked almost simultaneously, "What does this mean? Which chapter of the Bible?"

"The entire Bible!"

Russell continued his charade, saying, "The answer is already clear: the Bible shows us God's salvation and has given mankind the most powerful weapon."

"What?"

"Those who understand love can overcome lies and evil, and even Satan, who ultimately symbolizes lies and evil, can be defeated by love!"

"..."

Constantine scratched his head, while Angela rolled her eyes repeatedly; neither of them knew what to say. Finally, Constantine said helplessly, "Buddy, I'm a rough guy, can we stop with the philosophy? I just want to know how to get rid of this devil that's clinging to me and Angela!"

Upon learning that Russell could cure nicotine lung, Constantine decisively abandoned his grand adventure plan, wanting only to extricate himself from the conspiracy and continue his carefree life of smoking, drinking, and betraying his teammates.

"Simple, just kill it directly."

"It's not simple at all; we don't even know where he is," Angela complained.

"Huh, Constantine doesn't know either? Aren't you the best at making deals with the devil?" Russell was surprised. He had wanted to use his best bait tactic, but now it was all for naught.

"That was before, it's not like that now..." Constantine sighed with deep emotion. It's no good, he doesn't have enough friends anymore.

Russell knew the plot and the ins and outs of the conspiracy, but he couldn't say it outright because he wasn't sure if there were any big shots watching from above or below. So, he could only subtly guide Constantine toward the truth.

Unfortunately, Constantine didn't know much either. Apart from the fact that Hell was plotting a grand conspiracy to destroy the world, he was completely in the dark about everything else.

"Constantine, do you know who that devil is?"

"His name is Baldasar, a bastard devil with a prominent position in Los Angeles. He has many vicious monsters under his command, as well as humans who believe in hell. He's a very troublesome guy."

Constantine frowned and said, "Although there is no direct evidence, his target seems to be Angela, because his whereabouts are difficult to track, and I do not know his exact location."

Russell said, "With your vast Supernatural Abilities, why don't you just ask a few friends?"

"Sigh, that's what I thought at first too, but it resulted in the deaths of two friends, and now the others won't hang out with me anymore." Constantine was very sad. They had once toasted each other and promised to live and die together, but before they could even die, they all ran away faster than rabbits.

"Are there any 'friends' who are quite capable, have a terrible relationship with you, and are extremely skilled at intelligence gathering?"

"If you put it that way, there really is one, right here in Los Angeles." When it comes to betraying teammates, Constantine is a master. It doesn't matter if they're not teammates; at most, he's just a little inexperienced.

"Who?"

"Papa Midnight!"

Constantine recounted. "A mage and businessman owned a bar that was open to members only. Because of his principle of neutrality, his members were all sorts of people and he was very good at intelligence."

"Let's go find him."

Midnight Bar!

Due to translation issues, saying midnight is somewhat inappropriate. In its original meaning, it refers to the exact moment of noon, precisely the middle of the day.

Papa Midnight's principle is neutrality, absolute neutrality. He neither favors the day (justice) nor the darkness (evil), and in the event of world peace, he does not participate in any competition for any reason.

These are Constantine's original words. Just by looking at Papa Midnight's principles, you can tell that his strength is not bad, because the weak have no right to be neutral.

On a bustling street, the storefront of a shop that seems to have Magic Power allure for ordinary people is the entrance to Midnight Bar. Passing through the dark red lighting and entering the basement, you'll find the bar's main entrance.

Because it's not open to the general public, even guests brought by members have to go through a test, so Russell and Angela were stopped.

The bodyguard guarding the gate held up a card with a magical cover, asking Russell to guess the true content on the card. It was an easy guessing game, and he readily gave the answer.

As for Angela, leaving her at the entrance would surely lead to her being lost. Russell used Mind Stone to control her and reveal the answer, easily fooling them and leading her into the bar.

The bar, which operated on a neutral principle, was very quiet. Perhaps because it was still early, the bar was sparsely populated. Constantine knew the place well, greeted his bodyguard, and then knocked on the door of the bar's office.

[Bite]

[The host has come into contact with the story character Papa Midnight, triggering Lottery Draw and granting two chances to draw prizes. Would you like to draw now?]

Russell raised an eyebrow and looked at the black man sitting quietly in the room. He was another supporting character who had triggered the lottery, and he had two chances again.

"Extract!"

This is the first time a lottery has been triggered in the DC Universe, just for fun.

Here's an extra 3000 words for the leader's post, "I've come to see the official version again," and I'm also asking for your votes!

Same as always, either way is fine!
