Volume II: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 91: Prisoner
Gabriel never imagined that fate would play such a trick on him, and the cell that was once specially made for Lucifer has now become a black prison for him.
His limbs were tightly chained with shackles, and all of these chains were blessed with God's holy runes, which meant that even Gabriel, who was an archangel, was no different from a mortal at the moment, and all his power had been completely sealed.
The cell had been remodeled after Lucifer's escape, but despite this, Gabriel could faintly feel Lucifer's scent: the violent, painful, and crazy aura, and it seemed that Lucifer's madness had a lot to do with this cell.
Since the members of the Angel Army who originally guarded Lucifer have all been wiped out, the angels who are now guarding Gabriel are all selected from the righteous Inquisition Army formed by Raphael, and the leader of these guards is Raphael's guard, who has always looked at Gabriel coldly.
"As I said a long time ago, traitors don't end well. The black-clad guard sneered, "See, you're stuck in this black prison for traitors, and you'll never get out." ”
"It's funny that traitors sometimes like to call others traitors. Gabriel laughed and said, "It's funny, I don't think I've seen you before, what's your name?"
"Connor, that's my name. The guard said through his helmet, "But we've seen each other before, but I'm afraid you don't remember clearly." ”
"Of course, I can't remember just the sound. Gabriel said, "Besides, your voice is hoarse to such an extent, why don't I take off my helmet and let me see it." ”
"That's what you want. Connor reached out and took off his helmet, and a scarred face appeared in front of Gabriel.
"I did see you. The moment Gabriel saw that face, he immediately remembered something from the past. "You're one of the people escorting Lucifer, yes, you're standing next to Lucifer, right?"
"It seems that your memory is not bad. Connor simply admitted, "I am indeed one of the men who escorted Lucifer, and the only one left of them." ”
"What's wrong with everyone else?" asked Gabriel.
"Killed. Connor replied in a very calm tone, "All of them took part in the rebellion, so I arrested them all and put them to death with my own hands." ”
"Why are you doing this!?" Gabriel was furious when he heard the news, "Those are your comrades, the people who fought side by side with you on the battlefield, how did you manage it?"
"Because they have committed the crime of betrayal. "You see, if anyone betrays, even your brother Lucifer, they must be eradicated." ”
"They just wanted my dad to make the right choice. Gabriel roared, "Because of such a simple thing, they have been sentenced to death by you on completely trumped-up charges. ”
"God is absolute. Connor rebuked, "As sons of God, you should understand that we are God's noblest creatures and creatures who serve God, so we should always adhere to God's commands." ”
"Nonsense!" said Gabriel, looking at Connor, word for word, "what kind of fallacy is this? Mistakes are mistakes, can wrong things be turned into right? That's not a father at all, just a devil who looks exactly like him!"
"Shut up!" Connor immediately cut off Gabriel's words, "God is absolute, I have always fought because of God's command, and now you stupid fellows want to go against God's orders, you are simply killing yourself!"
"If it is for the sake of true righteousness to die, then it is my duty to do so!" Gabriel jerked to his feet, his chains straightened by his strength. "If you have the ability, let God do it, I'm not afraid of that old fellow at all. ”
"I'm afraid you won't die. Raphael walked to the cell with a relaxed smile that made Gabriel want to vomit in disgust.
"Your wish has been granted. Gabriel deliberately raised the shackles of his hands so that Raphael could see me, "I've been sent to a dungeon that only the most heinous people can enter, isn't that what you want to do?"
"Where, where, I'm just here to see if there's anything you're not happy with. Raphael laughed, "I don't mean anything to mock, I'm sure you'll understand me." ”
"I promise you'll never be able to laugh if you step into your cell. Gabriel glared angrily at Raphael, "And, when will my death sentence be carried out?"
"What death sentence?" said Raphael, who deliberately stretched his face in front of the cell and said aloud, "I should have said just now, you can't die, because a merciful God will not kill you, how can he bear to kill his own son?"
"So, he's going to imprison me forever like Lucifer, right?" Gabriel understood where he was going.
"That's right. "That's why I'm here to see if there's anything you're not happy with, and if there is, I'll do my best to solve it for you." ”
"Get out of here!" Gabriel's eyes were fierce, especially when he thought of his compatriots who had died at the hands of Raphael, he was almost furious.
"Don't be like this, you should obey God's command and be a prisoner, so that your life will be spared, isn't it a good thing?"
"I can't believe it, now you in front of me are actually the same my brother's former deputy Raphael, he trusts you so much, I used to believe in you so much, why are you like this now!?"
"Everything changes. Raphael said calmly, "I think enough has been said, there is no need to continue talking." ”
After Raphael finished speaking, he turned to leave, and the sound of his steps as he left was accompanied by Gabriel's angry shout: "This is not heaven at all, but hell in the appearance of heaven, wait, no matter what, I will bring true justice back here!"
Gabriel leaned his head against the wall, he had never felt so weak, not even the exhaustion he felt when he had been injured the first two times.
His spirit was exhausted, and even though he had been badly injured, he was still able to get up and fight, because he knew he was doing the right thing. But now, for the first time, he felt lost.
This is not heaven at all, it is not the place where I used to live, it has been eroded by darkness, this dull feeling is like hell, father, how far are you going to continue to be wrong!?
Gabriel slammed his hand against the wall, but it was this blow that made him discover something very interesting.
There seemed to be many dents, and Gabriel reached out and touched the wall he had just smashed again, and he clearly saw that there were many carved marks, which were so small that they could not even be found if he did not look closely.
These things are words, and Gabriel, after a brief observation, immediately understood what these traces were, but who exactly left so many words here?
Gabriel immediately raised his head and looked around cautiously, all the guards were facing away from him at the moment, their focus was obviously outside the cage, because for Gabriel, who was locked by God's holy rune and lost his power, the threat from the outside world should be more noticed.
No one noticed, and it didn't seem like anyone had known that someone had left these words here, otherwise it would not have been possible to keep them until now.
Okay, so let me see who left it behind. After another cautious observation, Gabriel carefully studied the words.
It wasn't something Lucifer had left behind, Gabriel was immediately sure of it, it didn't look like Lucifer's handwriting at all, and the guy was already going crazy when he was locked in, and it was impossible to leave such a legible text.
Then there is only another possibility, after Lucifer's escape, there must be someone else in this cell who was locked in, that person was a prisoner before him, so these things should be left by him.
Gabriel began to read the words, which were very small but barely readable, and in this way, Gabriel began to slowly understand the story of the previous prisoner.
"I never thought I'd be locked up here as a traitor, how ridiculous it was that I would be considered a traitor by them. ”
I think the same way, Gabriel resonates with this passage very much.
"Pain, they keep torturing me, trying to make me say the names of other companions, but I won't say it, I, I will never say it, even if they torture me to death!"
"I'm dying, my body is scarred, my spirit is on the verge of collapse, but I really didn't name my companions, as long as they were safe. ”
He's a tough guy, and I salute you. Gabriel admired the prisoner from the bottom of his heart, and even in that situation, he wanted to protect his companion no matter what.
"In the end, I still didn't save anything, my companions will be executed today, and my death is almost coming. Why!?Why did God do this to us, if only Mistress Michael were still alive!"
"I feel like I'm going crazy, I just have hatred for everything now, I hear voices that no one else can hear, and he tells me that I have another way to go. ”
What is going on? Gabriel was shocked when he saw this, what the hell was this? Driven by curiosity, Gabriel immediately continued to read.
"I'm back, in a whole new way. I finally understand how false this world really is, and now that I have gained eternity, I no longer have to fear the so-called death, and the time for revenge has come!"
Gabriel was shocked, and although he didn't know if it was fantasy or truth, he did feel the hatred of the prisoners in his cell at the time and today.
There was another passage below, which Gabriel read impatiently, but when he read it clearly, he felt his heart become very cold.
"Have you read this? Gabriel, the time should have come, come, it's time for you to meet me. ”
Gabriel felt his spirit jerk out of his body, and by the time he opened his eyes again, he was in a completely different place, and it was clear that someone had been waiting here for a long time.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Gabriel. "The moment of fate has finally come," said the waiter. ”
