Volume 1 Chapter 6 The Devil's Deal (Part II)
"I'll tell you a story. Satan spat out a long smoke ring, which floated in the air and became a plaything in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the smoke ring became a globe.
"Before telling the story, let me dispel the doubts in your heart, this is the world you are in now. Satan grabbed the cigarette and pinched it with his hand: "This is the world I am in." "The earth is drawn into a sea of fire, and the flames and smoke are vividly depicted by smoke rings. "Actually, it's just two different places, but it's hard to understand, I'll explain it to you. ”
"One day I was drawing several straight lines on paper. He stretched the smoke ring into a plane, on which a few straight lines appeared, and said: "Running in a straight line, one day asked, 'Companions, this world is either parallel or intersecting, so boring.'" I want to explain to them that no, it's just that you're only on one plane, and there is a relationship that is neither parallel nor intersecting. But, can I explain it, their world is different from ours, and they won't understand it anyway, right?" Satan wiped off the blackboard drawn by the smoke rings like a teacher in class.
"Don't cling to the idea that demons are unscientific, it's just that you're too shallow. Satan taught Wei dumb without smiling: "Don't you always have a feeling that everything around you is strange, unknown, and terrifying?"
Wei Dubai opened his eyes, and Satan was very satisfied with the surprised expression in his eyes: "Don't hide it, do you know why, you are in a world that is not you, of course you will be strange, ignorant, and afraid." ”
"I'm going to continue the story, there is such a world, there are thousands of changes, human beasts, elves and monsters, everything you can think of exists, this world is full of wars, but it is not what I seduced, it is the active collapse of people's hearts. It doesn't matter, in the end, the outcome of the war is that one race wins, and the other side is unfairly oppressed and enslaved, and is exploited for wealth, culture, and faith. "The smoke rings are changing faster and faster, the cruelty of war, the pain of slavery, and Satan is playing between applause.
"At this time, the future of the world rests on a special child, whom I call the one, and her mother made a deal with me before she died, in exchange for her soul of a hundred lifetimes, for me to save her child, and I agreed and sent the child here. "After the smoke ring changed intricately, it turned into a globe.
Satan blew away the smoke rings, and stared at Wei Dubai with deep eyes: "Child, you are the one." ”
Wei's dumb white eyes became indifferent, and he didn't see the slightest surprise and fear, for some reason, he had no fear in the face of Satan, and Satan continued: "It's time, it's time for me to send you home, Abel." ”
Go home......
Am I really not part of this world for a long time?
School, church, big Liu, Uncle Chen, dinosaur sister, pastor...... Doesn't it all have anything to do with me?
Could it be that I am like that straight line, I can't see clearly, that's why I have such a strong sense of strangeness?
Go home.
Confused, his hand touched a soft feather, the subtle itch reminded him of something, he picked up the feather and looked at it for a while, but the fluffy little thing disappeared for no reason.
"Not true. Wei Mubai remembered.
Satan secretly screamed badly and persuaded, "You don't belong to this world. ”
"I'm not that person. Wei Mubai repeated the words of the girl in red in the early morning: "I am not the one you said." ”
"You!" Satan twitched as he got up from his chair, "Resisted my temptation, child, it's good." ”
Satan paced back and forth a few steps: "I lure you to the truth, you don't believe me and I can't do it, you can not admit it, but if you want to liberate the soul of the pastor, you have to go to that world and prove to me that you are not the one." ”
"How do you prove it?"
"The One represents salvation and the future, and to prove that you are not Him, sacrifice the lives of a million people. ”
Wei Dubai's face was pale, and there was a dead silence in the church for an instant, and Satan said expressionlessly: "A million people, if you can do it, I will admit that you are not the one, you can still come back, and of course the priest will return it to you." ”
Wei Mubai is young and arrogant, occasionally makes trouble and fights, touches his bag and takes medicine, but his humanity is still there, he has never touched the killing of anyone, the lives of a million people, if he really agrees, how should he do it, and how should he bear it?
"Or if you admit you're the One now, I'll give you a chance. ”
Is the advice of the girl in red for her own good, or is she luring herself to another point of no return, like this Satan?
Thinking of the warm intimacy, Wei Mubai strengthened his determination: "I'm not that person, I'll prove it to you!"
I believe in her, right or wrong, I believe in her!
Satan nodded with satisfaction, took out a stack of parchment rolls from his arms, moved his index finger, and the knife in the priest's mouth flew to a stop in front of Wei Mubai: "Sign a contract with me, and if you can't complete the sacrifice over there, you and the priest's soul for a hundred years will all suffer endless torment with me." ”
Satan handed over the contract: "With the signature of blood, no one can escape the contract, including me." I won't take advantage of you, I give you this ring, which can command the seventy-two pillar demon gods to help you fulfill the contract. However, every time you use the ring, your soul will be demonized, and it will not be as simple as a hundred years of torment. He opened the contract, and at the bottom was a silver ring, inlaid with a dark blue gem, as deep as Satan's pupils, and he was dumb and white.
He picked up the knife, and the memories of this world flashed through his mind one by one.
Only in this way can the pastor be saved.
Only then can I figure out who I really am.
He thought of her again, and what she had told him: "You are not that person, remember. ”
The blood slowly spread on the parchment scroll, and the transaction with the demon was completed at this moment, Wei Mubai picked up the ring and put it on the middle finger of his right hand, he understood that if his life changed, people, maybe they would also change.
Satan put away the parchment and patted him on the shoulder, and the cold breath reached his ears, and he whispered, "Don't die there, child." ”
Wei looked at Satan dumbly and frowned, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Say it. ”
"Since you are real, where is God now?" Wei mute's white lips rose slightly, and he smiled contemptuously.
There was silence in the room.
Satan looked at Wei dumb white.
Wei Dubai also looked at Satan.
An air of embarrassment filled the room.
"You can try praying, and maybe you can see him. Satan slowly walked out of the room and politely closed the door: "Someone will pick you up in two days...... Don't send me anymore. ”
As soon as the door closed, the pendulum clock resumed its normal swing, the book fell to the ground, the priest also fainted, and fell straight down from the wardrobe, Lin Long recovered from the freeze frame, and said urgently: "Go and see her." ”
The two of them walked up to the priest and saw that she had returned to her normal appearance, breathing evenly and her face was ruddy, but she just couldn't wake up.
Lin Long didn't seem to hear what had just happened when he saw it, and only wondered: "Why is it so much better all of a sudden." ”
"Sister Dinosaur, let's take her to the hospital first. Wei Mubai made up his mind.
