Thomas staggered back home, took out the last and only bottle of beer in the house from the refrigerator, sat on the messy sofa, leaned his head on the sofa and looked at the ceiling, what happened just now made him contain all kinds of meanings, surprised, panicked, confused, nervous and other emotional influences, made him feel very tired, Thomas drank while thinking nonsense, and drank until the last drop was left, poured down and looked like the bottle was really empty, so he didn't come up with a reason, he sighed and fell crookedly on the sofa, As soon as he let go of the beer bottle and poured it on the floor, he let the beer bottle roll on the wooden floor, and Thomas listened to the beer bottle "cluck" on the floor...... Giggles...... The sound of "clucking" rolled, the eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally they were really hard to open, and the sound of the wine bottle rolling on the floor did not disappear, but became louder and louder on the empty floor, as if it was rolling endlessly.

"Thomas, Thomas ......", in the haze he heard someone calling to himself.

"Wake up, Thomas. Barrico ......, "Wake up, Thomas ......", his voice became clearer and clearer, and he felt like he had just fallen asleep.

"Thomas. Barrico ......", Thomas wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were too heavy, but the voice kept calling him, he tried to open his eyes, he felt that his eyes were very astringent, and finally opened them, and vaguely saw that the sky was very blue, and there was a figure standing in front of him, Thomas blinked slowly, so that his eyes could better adapt to the light around him, and gradually the scene in front of him was much clearer, the blue sky, and there was a handsome young man in a blue robe standing in front of him, Thomas took a deep breath and opened his eyes wide.

The sky, I was in the sky, all around me were the spires of the building, Thomas was suddenly nervous when he saw the scene in front of him, I was really in the sky, and it was the highest top of the highest city, I was not flying, I felt it under my feet, looked down, and made him even more shocked, he was standing on a building under construction, surrounded by steel structures, on steel beams between the spans.

The roof of the building is not very accurate, it should be connected between the two buildings on a "work" steel, looking at the busy vehicles downstairs and pedestrians as small as ants, hurriedly shuttling through the streets, but also can hear the crazy horn of the anxious driver, the low houses in the distance and the steam rising, the visual gap makes Thomas's legs weak, slowly stretch out his hands to maintain balance, slowly squatting down, for fear of accidentally falling, before squatting completely, he kept panting, and hurriedly grabbed both sides of the steel bar with both hands, With the fixation of his hand, Thomas's heart relaxed a little, which did not bring him much comfort, and he warned himself that he must not let his guard down.

Damn, there must be no bones left when I fall, and before I hit the ground, I guess I was scared to death in mid-air, and I can guarantee that I haven't experienced this.

Looking at the young man in front of him standing calmly on the steel bar, unwavering, he was surprised, what a great balance, so natural, is he an acrobat?

On second thought, no, I was obviously at home just now, why did I suddenly go to this hellish place with a young man I don't know, what did I miss? Or was I kidnapped? What the hell is he trying to do? All of a sudden, his mind was full of questions, and he had too many questions.

"Hello, Thomas. Barrico, please let me introduce myself, my name is Affie Miller......" The young man patted his body with his hands.

"Hey, hey, buddy, I don't care what your name is, I wonder how you got to this place? What the hell are you going to do? Thomas interrupted the other person's self-introduction very angrily, not so much anger as fear, but anger because of fear is a common manifestation of danger in the face of people.

"Are you scared?" Alfi Miller was very puzzled by the human reaction, and he was surprised.

"Damn, aren't you afraid to stand on such a high place? If it's you who did it, get me down quickly, it's too high for me, damn it. Thomas pointed at Afie Miller and scolded.

"Don't be nervous, son of man, it's safe here...... "Afie Miller prepares to reassure Thomas.

"It's safe, are you fucking blind? We're over 800 feet above the ground, and you're fucking telling me it's safe. Thomas felt embarrassed to be teased.

"Listen to me, Thomas, it's safe here, it's your world, not the physical world, so it's safe."

"What? World? You're fucking kidding......", Thomas looked at Alfy Miller incredulously, and then added, "Okay, man, I fucking don't care if it's you're going to wake up, and if not, please let me get to safety, okay?" Thomas couldn't tell if Alfie Miller's words were correct.

"Okay, please listen to what I'm going to say."

"No, you, you're kidnapping, you know?" Thomas felt that the other party's words were incredible, and he could not explain them at all.

"Kidnapping? No, you're mistaken, this is your world, it's your mind that built this place, I didn't choose you to be in danger. ”

"What?" Thomas sighed, looking at the other party and ready to fulfill his wishes, in this situation, he tried to put himself at a disadvantage again, what the hell is he talking about, the place I built myself, what kind of mentality am I in to build such a place?

"Well, you, what did you just say?"

"Affie Miller."

"Hello, Affie Miller...... Sir, what are you going to tell me, please as soon as possible. Thomas had nothing to do, and made a frivolous gesture of please.

"Well, Thomas, it looks like we're in good communication." Affie Miller was glad that the other party was always quiet and listened to him.

"Thomas, I know a lot of things have happened to you lately, and in a sense you should be dead, but not as you imagined."

"I'm already dead? What do you mean I'm not dead yet? Thomas was surprised.

"Let's start from the beginning, my name is Afie Miller, I am from heaven, and I am a serving angel protector." Alfi Miller spreads his wings in front of Thomas.

"What? You, I'm ......, what the fuck are you fucking bullshitting with me. Thomas was even more astonished, more astonished than he was to hear that he was dead, and he was so surprised that he could not speak.

It looked like he had terrible dreams, nightmares to be exact, and he now wondered if he was really in heaven.

Then Alfy Miller told him about his mission and how he had saved him, which Thomas was completely unacceptable, and the messages were like a highway moving 60 miles away from a car rushing into the parking lot of his brain as fast as it could. An explosion that thunders in the brain.

"Wait, angel, you're not kidding, are you? Shall I save heaven with you? Just because God went on vacation, the big bad guys went to rob your home, and then you ran out to move the rescuers, and the rescuers turned out to be me? Thomas laughed out loud.

Alfimüler looked at Thomas in silence.

"Hi, hi, are you crazy? You should go to the police or the military, or you can go to our president, they all know you, in short, you are looking for the wrong person. Thomas laughed, and Alfimüller was as serious as ever, and he felt that it was too frivolous for him to say it, and he added in a different tone: "Well, I want to know why it's me." ”

"I have been flying on Earth for three days and five times, and the only revelation I have heard is your call. I didn't hear the other people's prayers, which meant that it was a revelation from my Heavenly Father. ”

Thomas nodded thoughtfully, "And then?" You saved me, didn't you? ”

"Yes, you have two holes in your body, bleeding, and I guess your life is coming to an end, but I hear your voice, your last prayer ...... life"

If that's the case, it can explain why I didn't die from my fatal wounds. Thomas hadn't finished thinking about it, and Afie Miller continued.

"Look, Thomas, this speaks for itself." Alfi Miller crouched down in front of Thomas and took something out of the sleeve of his robe.

Thomas saw him holding in his hand an "hourglass" bound by gold chains, which also read "Thomas. Barrico".

"You see, if all the sand on it runs out, your life will end, and there is not much sand on it, and if you can't help it, you may die at any time." Affimilla pointed to the top of the hourglass, where there was not much sand, but it didn't flow down anymore.

Thomas could see that this dream was too logical and too realistic.

"Thomas, it was my Heavenly Father who saved you, and you have to join me in fulfilling the glorious mission."

"Well, this thing to save heaven, although it sounds a little ridiculous, but why don't you go to a priest or a priest or something, they are more pious and ......, and they can fulfill your mission better, I mean me, I am not a religious at all, I am an atheist, I don't believe in any God, Mary, uh......, are you sure you are looking for me because I am reliable?" Thomas pointed to himself and asked the angel.

"I don't know, I just said that I was flying around this earth for five days, and Heavenly Father gave this revelation, and I never doubted this revelation given by Heavenly Father."

"Well, I'm so grateful that you saved me, and what if, I mean, I don't accept this mission? Perhaps, maybe there is a more suitable person to fly around again. ”

"If you don't accept it, then I'll choose someone else, but your life will end, and you can choose for yourself, whether to go to hell or follow me to find the Son of Heaven?" Alfi Miller spoke without emotion, as if life and death were simply superfluous to him, and he gave Thomas a choice question that was not difficult.

"Are you trying to blackmail me?" Thomas thought it was incredible.

"No, if you don't want to, of course I won't waste time here, after all, time is of the essence. If you don't accept it, I can't hand you over to Hell, you will reveal my mission, I will give you over to Heaven, but according to the sins you have committed in your life, you will not be able to receive the love of Heaven like those pious souls, and you can only throw you into other places ....... ”

Thomas pondered it himself, weighing the pros and cons. He makes sense, if that's the case, giving up means death, and I'm burping as soon as he's gone.

"Well, I don't think I have a choice, do I?" Thomas compromised.

"The choice is yours, Thomas."

"But I'm not a Christian at all, I'm not a Catholic, I don't know what I'm saying to you, I'm an atheist, how can you ask me to help you, I mean, I'm ...... to you It's just outlierative. Thomas's doubts ran again.

"This, I don't know how to answer you, I just know that you have to complete this mission, this mission with me." Affie Miller went on to say, "It may be the intention of the Father to allow you to re-examine your beliefs and beliefs through this experience, and to give you an opportunity to see the power of faith. ”

"I helped you, is it any good for me? It's just a matter of dying later, isn't it? ”

Alfefie Miller was silent.

"Let's say, the mission is completed, and you go back on an errand, what about me? And then I'm not going to die yet. ”

"Death is inevitable for all people, and the human body will eventually return to its original point, and I can't answer your question. No promise can be given to you, and through this you can also have a higher level of understanding of life. ”

Thomas was silent. , what is this. If I can delay my death, at least for me, I can fulfill my unfulfilled wish.

"Well, well, since it's already like this, it's the only way to go, so what are your plans?" Thomas himself thinks that he has agreed too hastily, but there is no good choice.

"I don't know, because the oracle is very general and has no clear instructions, and the biggest hint is for us to find the Twelve Apostles."

"Who is that?"

"The twelve most faithful followers of the Messiah."

"Wow." Thomas was very surprised, and in his understanding he was going to find twelve corpses, "Well, okay, it looks like I have a lot of lessons to make up before I can act." ”

"And, what's that, just, how to put it, what happened tonight, you did the hell, I mean, me and that girl, and then those voices, Ula Ullah's voice." Thomas even said with a metaphor, not knowing how to express himself tactfully.

"Yes, admonishing Wen, you have to stay calm at all times in the face of **, you want to have sex with her." Affie Miller made no secret of it.

"Hey, buddy, you need to know that here, this thing is called privacy in our place, you know? Privacy is what belongs to oneself, it doesn't belong to anyone including God and you, and that one is not called 'intercourse', you have to understand the meaning of these words, that is called sex, it is pure ....... Thomas pointed down with his finger.

"Your actions are not pure, and you are vulnerable to demonic aggression, I am here to better protect you, and in God Almighty knows everything,......。" Alfy Miller interrupted Thomas to continue.

Thomas nodded, he knew that talking to an angel about this was all about playing the harp to a cow, and he didn't want to bother explaining it to him, "Okay, we have to respect each other, you know?" You help me, I help you, you don't violate my privacy, I also ask about your privacy, this is the bottom line between you and me, understand? ”

Affie Miller looked at Thomas silently, he felt very strange, he didn't know what Thomas meant by privacy, "I don't have privacy, I only have a mission." ”

"Okay, I see, let's settle it, okay?" Thomas saw that the angel could only surrender, and had no choice but to give in.

Alfy Miller nodded in agreement.

"What are we going to do next?" Thomas asked.

Alfi Miller shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and Thomas sighed and shook his head to express his helplessness, "There is no revelation, and I don't know." ”

"Alright, Affie Miller, looks like we still have a lot of work to do, let me plan this operation, then, uh...... Happy to work with. Thomas held out his hand and shook hands with Afef Miller, and an angel and a human made an agreement to help each other.

As soon as the two people let go of each other's hands, the crisp cracking sound of metal "clicked" made Thomas's nerves shake, his body was not balanced because of the trembling steel under his feet, Thomas subconsciously straightened his arms to maintain balance, the steel bar under Thomas's feet began to slowly break, shattering like glass, Thomas fell down instantly, looking at the falling steel pieces above and Afi Miller stopped in the air, Thomas shouted for help, Alfi Miller spread his wings and hovered in the air, the figure of the angel was getting farther and farther away from him, The weightlessness of the free fall made Thomas's heart seem to be squeezed by an invisible hand, his heart beat so fast that the blood rushed to his throat, Thomas gasped and shouted for help.

Suddenly opened his eyes, woke up from his dream, held his chest with his hand, gasping for breath, he could still hear his heart 'plopping, plopping', the sun had entered his face through the curtains, Thomas squinted, today's weather is very good, I haven't felt my heart beating so violently for a long time, he continued to take big breaths, let his mood and heart calm down, Thomas lying on the sofa pondered.

Today's weather is good, I haven't had activity for a long time, and it seems that it's time to get back to my previous state, and it's time to start work.

He got up lazily, moved his body, went to the bathroom and quickly cleaned up, dragged out a box from under the bed, looked at the equipment that was born and died with him, and made up his mind to prepare for a big fight.

At least for the sake of my own life, by the way, what will my life be like, according to what that guy said, the 'Grim Reaper' can't get close to me, will I become immortal, forget it, let's talk about it next time I see Afefi Miller, anyway, there is a chance. He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

I pulled out my tracksuit from the closet again, and I hadn't worn it in a while.

First get back to the previous feeling and get back to the previous state, well, it's so decided, at least you have to make some money to eat.

When you're done, put your tracksuits, shoes, towels, toiletries, and gloves in your travel bag. Let's go for breakfast, then I'll have to go to the Productivity Club to get myself back into shape, and I'll have to go to the library, so I think I'm going to have a busy day.

With a goal, Thomas doesn't know what the road is ahead, the only thing he knows is that this is a thorny road, in order to keep himself alive, he has to be ready to meet more challenges, and it seems that he has to say goodbye to the days of indulgence.

"Hey, hi, I'm Maureen......", Maureen loosened his neckline, looking a little stuttered due to nervousness.

"Hi Maureen, do you have any good news for me?"

"Yes, yes, Miss Philina, that, I have done what you arranged."

"Ha, Councilor Morin, you're really good, and you've ...... in such a short period of time It's not an ordinary efficiency, and you didn't disappoint us. ”

"You've won the prize, Miss Ferina, and I hope you're satisfied." He took out his handkerchief and touched the sweat stains on his head.

"Hehe, of course, Councillor Morin, I believe in your abilities and potential, which is why we invest in you." Felina let out a hearty laugh on the other end of the line.

"I am very honored to receive your appreciation, and I am very willing to serve if I can do it." Morinba's tone made Ferina very useful.

"Of course, Morin, we value your personal abilities very much, there is no doubt about that."

"Thank you very much, Miss Philina, did you ...... that," Maureen said vaguely.

"Don't worry, my Mr. Councillor, I'll give you priority, okay, you see, I've had a few business trips lately, I'm just in a hurry, you see, I forgot, I still have a date in 1 hour, it's very important to me, you know, Councilor Morin, we're all errands, and diligence can get a good reward, you say." Felina's evasive tone made Morin helpless, and she also hinted at him.

"Of course, I understand very well, then I won't bother you, I wish you all the best."

"Bye-bye." The phone clicked into a busy tone.

Morin took the phone and looked at it for a while, put down the phone with anxiety, he leaned on the boss's chair and looked at the ceiling in a daze, his career has just improved, any opportunity is a challenge for him, he can't give up any possibility, even if he violates the bottom line, he doesn't want to see the way it used to be.

Felina watched every video in the email, and saw it at the end, a street appeared on the video, due to the darkness and rain at night, the picture was not very clear, only to see a crossing, not far away, ran out to face the crossing, took out something and raised it with both hands, and saw the fire twice, and then, the black shadows of these two boys ran in the direction of the surveillance, and after a while, another woman's figure ran in the opposite direction, and the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly on the dark street, until they ran close to the surveillance, The lights of one of the stores blurred out a man with a lady's bag, a black guy about eighteen or nineteen years old, hurriedly running out of the picture.
