Chapter 172: Life in the Hourglass

Affie Miller flew in the direction pointed by Raphael, flying into the ethereal universe, in the dark space of the stars of bright light, quiet is his best companion, through Vega, over the planetary fragments in the universe, the nebula in front of him exudes colorful light, like seven pigments poured into the solidified air, as smooth as silk, Affi Miller now has no time to watch the magic of the universe, just want to complete his mission, in the vast universe time does not matter at all, I don't know how long it has been flying, Striving to fly has reached the edge of the galaxy, and is close to its destination.

Finally saw this blue planet, saw the blue glowing earth under the white clouds, saw this beautiful gem and sighed at the greatness of the Creator, in order to avoid being discovered by the satellites in space, the incarnation of the spirit flew into the back of the sun, hidden in the darkness.

Flying through the clouds into the low sky, seeing such a small human being, building tall buildings and cars shuttling through the road, lacking strength and ability, living in complete groups, relying on cooperation, flying over the ground where the Son of Man lives, but also observing their living habits, there is joy, laughter, warmth, but also violence, selfishness and greed, and I feel sorry for the Father so loving, how human beings let the Father give infinite love to the Son of Man, even the only Son of the Father is helping the Son of Man to live, the Father's doting makes Afie Miller feel incredible, He didn't know why Heavenly Father had given more hope and hope to mankind.

He will occasionally stop, strolling on the idyllic beach, experiencing the majestic waves, will also sit down against the towering redwoods to experience the fun of various animals perching beside him, will stand on the craggy boulder and look into the distance, will touch the statue of the Father on the church silently say the expectations in his heart, and also set foot in the vast desert to touch the feeling of fine sand passing through his hands, and once again sigh the wisdom that human beings have inherited from the Heavenly Father, but Afie Miller has never let go of the boulder in his heart, and he is still constantly looking for the prophesied "stumbling man".

On the fifth day, he flew from the light side of the earth to the dark side again, through the clouds, flying over the city against the air current, and saw the city's high-rise buildings at night, with lights, huge color screens flashing with all kinds of fashionable advertisements, sparse pedestrians on the road, wrapping their clothes tightly, pulling up their collars to resist the cold and rain, drizzling in the sky, under the action of the north wind, The rain that falls is like broken glass in people's faces, which speeds up the pace of people's escape from the cold.

Leaving the city center of the high-rise buildings, the lights are getting darker and darker, there is no light and prosperity just now, the street lamps emit yellow lights, under the illumination of the light, I can see the drizzle with the wind, hear the noisy sound of this street, look at the street corner there are people laughing, there are also a group of men and women on the road hooked shoulders, staggering walking, while making loud noises and laughing loudly, the sound of wine bottles hitting the ground is mixed with the barking of dogs.

Help me......... I don't want to die. Hearing a faint sound, Affimilla slowed down his flight, listening carefully to the sound, a distant, hollow sound, he tightened his wings and landed on the roof, closing his eyes and carefully searching for the sound just now.

That's how my death was, what a surprise. The voice rang out again, coming from the north, and Affimilla flew into the air to the north. As you fly, you slowly and carefully search for the source of the sound.

It doesn't end there,...... If there really is a God,...... If you give me a little time,...... If the Milais dog could shut up...... fucking ...... Cold......

The words became clearer and clearer, it should be closer to the destination, it should be nearby, just by the wall of the corridor between the two buildings, there was a person lying on the ground, his black jacket had been soaked by the rain, red blood oozed from under his body, and the blood flowed down the cracks in the stones on the ground under the rain, and the wet land was stained red with blood. The light on the wall glowed yellow, shining on the man, as if waiting for the end of his life.

Alfemüller gathered his wings and fell down the safety ladder of the building, silently observing the dying man.

…… I want to be used by God. The last sound is getting quieter.

It's been five days since I've been here, and his prayer voice is the only one I've heard, so why can I hear his pleading? Is he the one I'm looking for? This is the one who is on my mission? If...... As soon as Affy Miller thought of this, he was interrupted by a sound coming from the darkness in the hallway.

From the darkness slowly floated a black mass of black objects, a man in a black and tattered cloak, the black hood covered the man's face, the black hole in the hood could feel the endless darkness, the pace was very slow, holding a very long scythe in his hand, holding the sickle as a cane, slowly walking towards the man. With words in his mouth, he walked up to the man, bent down and slowly stretched out his left hand, the white breath exhaled from his mouth made the air around him even colder, and the outstretched left hand stopped in the air, not touching the person on the ground.

The black shadow has already felt that the surrounding environment has changed, the original rain is stopping in mid-air, and the rain in the air has turned into water droplets one by one, but it has not stopped, but it is much slower than before, and the slow water droplets can be seen reflecting the upside-down scene.

The skeletal hand slowly retracted, straightened up and looked at the building next to it, it felt an incredible force hovering around, it turned its face to look at the dead man on the ground, in front of the dead man stood a man wearing a robe sewn with blue gold thread, wearing a hood and bowing his head, different from the human being There was a pair of white wings behind it, an angel.

"Huh? Angels? Do you want to redeem him? The shadow paused and said, "Angel, this man is sinful, and he is not the one you want to redeem, so go away." Hollow, deep, hairy words came from the black cloak, leaning down again to finish his work.

"Hello, 'Death', this person cannot be taken away by you now, this person is the person chosen by the Father, you cannot take it away, his mission is not over." Afefie Miller said.

There was a sneer from Death and said, "I am carrying out the will of the Creator, and this is also my mission for thousands of years, and you have no right to interfere with my mission." ”

"No, not this time, I need him." Affie Miller said firmly and uncompromisingly.

"Huh?" Death seemed to have discovered something, and Death stepped forward with his scythe, "It's strange, you're not a guardian angel, did you sneak out of Heaven?" Or have you fallen too? If only I could say hello to Hell and let them treat you well......" Death asked the angel in front of him.

"On the contrary, I am God's most faithful servant." Affie Miller's bored and deep voice answered death's questions.

"Angels have no right to interfere in the lives of human beings, fate has compiled the time and experience of living beings in the world, you can only observe, not involve, let alone interfere with the birth, existence, entanglement, behavior and death of living beings, all living beings cannot escape the end of this 'sickle of time'." The scythe held in Death's right hand slammed into the ground with a "thump" sound, spreading outward in the center like ripples in water, and the droplets suspended in the air were dispersed, shaken apart, or shattered into smaller droplets, as a warning to Affy Miller.

Affie Miller noticed that the Scythe of Time emitted a black aura, with words carved into both sides of the rusty blade.

On one side, time represents the beginning and end of life;

On the other side: no spirit can escape the judgment of death.

At this stalemate, a dark shadow jumped from the top of the two buildings, and Afi Miller's eyes wandered over 'death' and looked backwards, while 'death' was indifferent, not shaken by the sound behind him.

Baffer Slayer Goat-headed Demon, a low-level monster from hell, with a goat's head, black and white hair, black eyes, a strong and tall body, strong muscles, if it makes people shudder to see, it slowly walked behind death, and the water droplets that were still in the air shattered on it with the intervention of the sheep-headed demon.

"I smell the undead, and I look like I've learned something today." The sheep-headed demon said stupidly.

Alfi Miller put his left hand on the hilt of the saber on his left, and slashed the demon in front of him without hesitation at any time, the sheep-headed demon stood behind 'death', saw the angel in front of him, and noticed his movements, was taken aback, and quickly reached out to stop it.

"Wait a minute, Lord Angel, I'm not here to provoke a fight, I don't need force in the face of death, I'm just here to take what we have to take with us." The sheep-headed demon said.

"Put away your hypocrisy, you won't get anything today, go back to your hell, there is no need for your existence in this world." Affimilla stepped forward with his left foot, ready to fight.

"You see, my dear angel, you have a serious prejudice against us, and we are gathering the evil minds of the world for the sole purpose of purifying the whole world, so that the good may live better, and the wicked may be rewarded."

"You don't have to do everything you can to open up for your own viciousness, I will not hesitate to kill you."

"Well, if death judges the soul to you, I will naturally leave, and I will never hinder it, and I will be happy that the soul has a good destination, if this judgment is to go to hell, don't stop my actions either, after all, death is fair." The sheep-headed demon said as he said skillfully, rubbing his hands.

"Angel, don't have unnecessary strife because of this soul, fate has arranged his death, and he should obey his destiny." Death said.

"Yes, dear angel, we should respect the right of death given by the Creator, and we are also slaves of the Creator, and since the Creator has already set the rules, we must also obey them, right?" The sheep's cunning helper.

"Put away your strong words, and I will be approved by the Father to deliver him, and no one can stop him." Affie Miller was unrelenting.

"In that case," Death straightened his left hand in the air, and Affimilla tensed his nerves, not knowing what Death would do, "let's see if he is the chosen person by the Creator, and if fate has arranged to continue to accomplish what he left undone." ”

The palm of the dead white bone was upward, and a vortex appeared in the air, and something spun out of it, levitating on the hand of the dead white bone.

It is an hourglass of a wooden cage, a black wooden structure, with a circular top and bottom at the top and bottom, the top and bottom are connected into a triangle by three wooden columns, and in the middle is a glass hourglass, on which there is a nameplate with the words "Thomas. Barrick", pyramid-shaped fine sand is piled up under the hourglass, and in this interfered space, the fine sand above flows very slowly from top to bottom in the glass hourglass of the inverted triangle, basically fixed in a straight line of sand, and the fine sand on top basically reaches the low end of the inverted triangle, and if Affi Miller leaves, it will only take a few seconds for this person's life to come to an end.

"See, fate has not arranged his future mission, because his time is running out, and today is also the day of his judgment, which also means that the creator has not chosen him at all to be redeemable, or follow the rules and give up, angel." Death came the hollow voice.

"This man's mission will be rewritten, a revelation from my Heavenly Father." Affie Miller said.

"Well, until the 'sands of time' stop flowing, even if we argue here for thousands of years, no one, including the Creator, can interfere with my duties." Affy Miller clenched the hilt of his sword again, and Death saw his intentions and reached out in front of Affy Miller, "No force can take away, snatch and destroy this hourglass, do you want to try it?" ”

Affy Miller reached out to touch the hourglass, but his hand passed through the hourglass, and there was no entity at all on the side of the seemingly mirrored image in front of him, and Affi Miller knew that it was impossible to snatch and destroy, and looked at death in silence, and death removed his hand from his face.

"Angel, let me continue my work."

"Yes, Lord Angel, let death pull out this man's soul, cut off the chains between his body and soul, and give a fair judgment, let us see if this soul should go to heaven with you", the sheep-headed demon pointed at Afimüller, "or go to hell with me," Pointing to himself, "I can't wait, I already smell the endless sins of his life." The sheep-headed demon giggled.

Affimüle suddenly raised his right hand and stretched out a chain from the sleeve of the robe, it was the "Uriel's Punishment", which entangled the hourglass on Death's left hand, Death was taken aback by the sudden thing, turned his head to see that the hourglass in his hand was entangled in the chain, the originally slow fine sand completely stopped flowing, it was impossible to never see the 'Sand of Time' can be taken by others, except for fate and death, the Sand of Time is invisible to anyone and spirit, even the demon kings of hell and angels in the sky. But I watched as the 'Sands of Time' was entwined in chains.

Turning his head, he scolded, "Presumptuous." The entire space was shaken by the sound of reprimands, and the water droplets frozen in the air instantly shattered into smaller droplets, and death could no longer hide his anger with his cloak, and the eyes of the two black holes stared at the angel in front of him, and death raised his scythe and slashed at the chains.

Before the scythe touched the chain, Afy Miller pulled back the "punishment" has been withdrawn, holding the 'sand of time' pulled back from the god of death, the chain is rigidly imprisoned this hourglass, this move The sheep-headed demon standing behind death was startled, the sheep-headed demon was swinging back in his ears, not so much that the sheep-headed demon was ready to attack but that it was ready to flee at any time, it had never seen any angels and demons declare war on 'death', as a neutral 'death', no faction would be interfered with, including Jesus when he crucifixed' The Sands of Time and the arrangement of fate, the first time the angel was seen declaring war on 'death' because of a mere mortal, the sheep-headed demon could not judge what happened in a moment.

"Your deeds that give up immediately, angel, everything can still be undone, otherwise, you will be punished from all dooms." Death said.

"No, he will join me in fulfilling the mission that Heavenly Father has given me." Serious and resolute Afi Miller said.

"You have no idea what is going to happen, the world changes because of your actions, and disrupting the course of time and fate will bring disaster to the world, like a domino effect." The breath of death is still so empty, and the hollow is mixed with anxiety.

"Go back to where you belong, death, go do your other duty, get out of here, if you want to go to war." As he spoke, Afy Miller shook his wings, and the water droplets attached to the wings instantly scattered and stayed in the air, and the "Enemy Satan" pulled out the sword holster, and the exposed sword emitted a whistling blue flame.

This move made Death and the Goathead feel that things were irreparable, and that if there was a conflict, the losses would be even greater, and no one wanted a more intense conflict in this situation.

Death slowly retreated, a small hole appeared in the middle of the cloak, sucking the body into it like a whirlpool, and Death pointed the scythe in his hand at Afimüller and said: "Angel, you will not only accept the punishment from hell, but the most serious will be the judgment from the 'knights', the 'death knights' will never tolerate your actions, and will make you pay the price you deserve." ”

Death paused and said, "I will meet again, I believe that in the near future, you will not be able to protect this mortal forever, I will keep an eye on you and your little pet all the time." After saying that, the body of death slowly sucked into the round hole and disappeared in front of Afi Miller.

The sheep-headed demon looked at the disappearance of death, took a step back, tilted his head sideways, and said, "I don't want to go against you, but this matter is definitely not over, and it is estimated that the monarchs will be interested in today's events." After saying that, it turned into a cloud of black smoke and rose into the air, and then slammed into the ground in mid-air and disappeared to the ground.

Alfi Miller watched death and the sheep-headed demon disappear in front of his eyes, looked down at the people on the ground and silently thought in his heart, I hope you are my bonder, the chain cut off the section that imprisoned the hourglass, put this person's 'sand of time' in the robe, turned over his body, and saw that the clothes had been soaked with a large area of blood, and there were two holes in his chest, from which the blood came out. Taking out the "Raphael's Asylum" from the belt on the left side, he kissed the cross and prayed, and brought the cross close to the man's chest, the cross emitted a yellow light, and slowly squeezed out two bullets from these two holes, and the wound slowly healed.

The droplets that had remained in the air suddenly returned to normal and poured down, and in the dim light, Alfi Miller folded his wings and crossed his shoulders and slowly sank into the man's shadow.

Paffer turned into black smoke from the ground to the deeper underground, through a stone arch, in front of this arch is a stone paved stone road suspended in the dark space, there are unquenchable flames on both sides of the stone road, from the black smoke into a body, stand firm, look behind you to see an endless darkness, hell is terrible, but the night country is even more terrifying, every time you look at the night country behind it will make it feel uncomfortable, run ahead, here is still a long way from hell, you have to speed up the pace.

Running along the stone road to hell, I saw that there was still a stone arch in front of me, which said "There is no hope through this gate", this is the boundary monument of hell, not far from the gate of hell, I have already smelled the smell of sulfur wafting from hell, and I came to the gate of hell, and the gas of ashes, sparks, sulfur, and decay blew out from the gate, and the towering stone gate was blown by the fire from hell and could not be closed, the closer to hell, the greater the resistance, and the heavier the step, the heavier and relentless pressure to tear the body apart.

Soon after entering the gate of hell, he saw a black hole in the sky, and countless souls fell from the black hole, and some souls gathered next to the 'Agron' to wait to cross the river. On the other side of the Agron River, the soul walked slowly and methodically towards the mountain, and over the hill a huge palace blocked the way, the outer walls of the palace were dirty and dilapidated, and the eerie and tall gate was covered with green ghost fire, and outside the gate were lifeless and slaughtered souls, waiting in line to enter the palace, which was the judgment hall of 'hell', where the judges were 'fair', 'ruling' and ' Order', any soul before reaching Hell will be judged, judged by the Inquisition according to the sins committed by each person in the world, and these souls will be sent to different parts of Hell for enslavement, and Paphra will pass through the back door of the Inquisition where is the road to Hell.

After running to the lower 'marginal wilderness' of hell, bypassing the 'Castle of Lust', climbing the 'Gluttonous Mountain', paddling over the 'Greedy Steep Slope', crossing the 'Plains of Wrath', crossing the 'Heretic Grave', running through the 'Violent Volcano', jumping over the 'Fog of Evil', entering the 'Cave of the Matchmaker', wading through the 'Swamp of Deception', swimming through the cells of Hell such as 'Evil Water', you will see the lowest level of Hell and the gathering place of demons.

The bottom of Hell is a more dilapidated world, the sky is red, there is no sun but flames, and under the flames there are clouds of black and red alternating blacks and reds, pressing the sky very low, and it feels like it can be reached, and there are burning ashes floating in the air.
