The blackness and brightness of his body swayed with the jolting in front of him, and he didn't want to open his eyes after many days of exhaustion, the smell of gasoline and dry earth mixed into his nose, and Thomas was wondering why he was in a speeding car.

There was a loud "boom", followed by a rain of dirt falling on the roof of the car, followed by the sound of the car's piercing brake pads and tires rubbing against the sand, Thomas's shoulder hit the front seat hard, the hat covering his face fell to the ground, and his teammates were heard shouting to get out of the car, hide and other commands, and then the bullets shuttled around them, the sound of bullets hitting the metal, and the car was already riddled with holes by the other party.

Then Thomas picked up his rifle and rushed out of the car, lurking on the slope by the side of the road with his teammates, he looked at everything familiar, everything was so familiar and natural, as if it should have happened, and Jonny and Thomas next to him shouted loudly: "Hey, Thomas, defend on the right side, ...... quickly"

Thomas jerked his head back, "What? Johnny...... You ......, where is this? ”

Jonny felt Thomas unreasonable, and the sound of gunfire drowned out his voice, "Thomas, are you crazy?" It's fucking in Baghdad, it's a battlefield, bastard. He pointed to a house made of mud about 5 meters or so and said, "Go, take two people to occupy that place, hurry." ”

Thomas looked at him with wide eyes and horror and said, "Shit, Jonny, you're fucking dead...... I...... Where is this? Jonny looked back at a confused Thomas.

Completely enraged by Thomas's unusual behavior, Jonny grabbed Thomas by the collar and pulled him closer to his face, shaking vigorously and shouting, "Thomas, what the fuck is going on with you?" Are you fucking ready to make us all fucking die here? I'll tell you again, fucking go take over there, do you fucking understand? Answer me......" The sound of gunfire caused Jonny to shout at Thomas, who still looked at him blankly, and Jonny pushed him to the ground.

Thomas was completely devastated by Jonny's reprimand, he was now completely confused, he should now go to save the enchanted Resley, why did he suddenly arrive on the battlefield, which one was his dream? Is it fighting demons or terrorists? He couldn't judge, he gasped heavily, to trust himself, to judge calmly.

He slowly looked back at everything that seemed familiar, looking at his hands, he forced himself to calm down, which scene was the reality of the battlefield or everything in Ecuador, he asked himself again, he stood up and slowly ran to cover, the whole scene turned into slow motion, slowly running towards the open space where the two armies exchanged fire, random bullets shuttled around him, bullets grazed his ears, and most recently through the sleeves of his clothes, not a single bullet hurt him, he looked back at his teammates who were calling for him in the rear, He stepped into the canal in front of him, and every step he took saw the water splashing driven by his steps, without any feeling of water, he stepped into the opponent's stronghold, the Taliban in robes passed in front of him at will, no one paid attention to him, those terrorists changed their magazines and continued to shoot, some terrorists were hit, blood burst out from the single hole that pierced the body, the villagers ran into the houses and closed the doors, and the frightened sheep ran around at will, as if all this had nothing to do with him, and he was more like an outsider.

Alfi Miller stood in the doorway of a mud house and watched as Thomas slowly arrived.

"I knew it was all an illusion...... "Thomas said to Affie Miller with some smugness.

"How do you judge......"

"It seems real but nothing feels like it, the air movement when the bullet grazes my face, the water, etc., I believe I have left the battlefield...... Are you testing me? I ......" Thomas said triumphantly as he walked towards the angel, suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise, because he felt the pain of the bullet passing through his body, a trace of pain began to spread from one point to all parts of his body, he covered his painful place, warm and sticky feeling, he looked down at the blood in his hand, his heart beat extremely fast, his breathing began to become rapid, and the blood kept rushing out of his body.

He slowly knelt on the ground, this was different from what he had just thought, I had no one in my world to hurt me, none of this was possible.

He looked down at the blood in his hands, and could hear someone shouting at him, because his body was warning him, the white blood cells were gathering at the wound, his mind was guiding him to find a suitable solution, his brain was giving his body instructions to increase adrenaline, Thomas begged Alfimüller to take out 'Raphael's shelter' to light him.

He looked up at Affy Miller's eyes for help, only to see the angel shaking his shoulder, and Affy Miller really looked at Thomas who was kneeling on the ground with puzzled and confused eyes.

"What are you doing? Thomas. ”

"I ......" Thomas stretched out his hand to show the angel, there was nothing on his hand, he was not hurt, he was touching the wound he had just made.

"I'm asking you, Thomas, what are you doing?"

"I ...... I...... I do not know...... Just now, Ming Ming ......" Thomas stood up, Tian looked at Thomas with puzzled eyes, he covered his face, and slapped his face hard to make himself more sober, "I was obviously ...... just now On the battlefield...... How...... And the body ...... Shot ......"

"Calm down, Thomas, it's your spiritual world, and it's all from the scene you have created from your memory, because you're guilty inside, and your heart has been hovering in that scene, where you've made your own indelible mistakes."

Thomas lowered his head and said sadly: "Yes, I am very guilty, we were attacked, a lot of people died, right there, where I can't let go, I am miserable, my misjudgment caused many of my teammates to die there, and when I watched my teammates fall one by one, I couldn't do anything." ”

"This sight will stay with you for the rest of your life, unless you can free this painful ......, we can't stay too long now, we don't have much time, do you remember what we came here for?"

"Yes, I know, I'm going to cross the chain bridge to save Resley."

The angel nodded, opened the broken wooden door for him, the dazzling light poured out of the door, the two of them went in the direction of the light, when they stepped out of the door, they stood on the edge of the cliff of the primeval forest, surrounded by lush dense forests, he could still hear the cries of birds and beasts, the sun was very warm on him, he couldn't see the opposite scene, the gray fog separated the whole environment, the fog made it impossible to see what the opposite side looked like, only a mossy suspension bridge in front of him went straight into the fog.

Affie Miller walked past Thomas and looked back at Thomas as he stood on the rickety drawbridge, "Come on, Thomas, across the street is the entrance to Resley's spiritual world, which is being infested by demons, and the weather in that place is as unpredictable as her mood, and we still have a long way to go." ”

Thomas followed in the footsteps of Affi Miller and stepped on the rickety suspension bridge, "Thomas, the experience just now shows that you are still affected by your senses, you have to be careful, demons are very good at using human emotions to confuse each other. ”

"Dude, what you said is so simple, I am not you, you have the ability to fight demons, you are stronger than any human being, I am a living person after all." Thomas was still wallowing in the frustration he had just had.

"It's completely different here from outside, it's not bound by the laws of physics, you have to get used to judging things without being affected by your senses, demons will feel the dark side of people, because it contains fear, desire and craving, people's fear is the key nutrient that fuels the growth of demons, they are like hungry flies that smell your fear within a few kilometers, so you have to be strong to resist your own fear, this is your advantage and your weakness, you and the demon are now naked in front of each other."

"This is even more terrifying, the power of the demon is completely above me, I don't know what else to rely on without relying on the sensory tube? And I kind of regret it......"

"Don't say that, although people are not as powerful as demons, but people's faith and wisdom are far above demons, you have to use your wisdom to fight them, call Resli with your heart and let her help you, frustration will only make you weaker, you are strong I am naturally strong, even if I am strong now, it is useless, only when we are both strong can we exert the power of heaven." Afie Miller said righteously.

"Well......" Thomas replied impatiently to Alfie Miller, who hated the preaching, "but you can't teach me anything more practical than a few general words, like a sword...... It will also give me a little confidence. ”

Of course, Affie Miller knew what Thomas was referring to, "Any weapon is useless in the spirit world, so what does it matter if you have a weapon or not?" ”

"One moment you tell me not to believe that, and the other time you want me to believe this, I'm looking at you with skepticism now, I don't even fucking know if you're real now, maybe it's a fucking illusion, can't you tell me a more reliable way?" Thomas said impatiently.

"Thomas, I didn't make you doubt all this, doubt is not important in the spirit world, the most important thing is what do you have to believe?"

"I'm fed up with your empty words." He had utterly lost patience with angels.

Affie Miller stopped and turned to Thomas, he said tepidly: "Thomas, you entered the spirit world of Resley, everything was created by her, even here......" Affie Miller pointed to the forest and strange peaks and rocks not far from the drawbridge, "You have to find Resley to help you, anything can happen in the spirit world, she will give you everything and even turn you into an angel or a monster." ”

Thomas seemed to understand what Phefie Miller meant when he heard him say this, and he thought for a moment and looked at him again, "Okay, I see, finding Resley can help me, right?" ”

"Yes." Affimilla nodded and walked ahead again, about to reach the dividing line between light and fog, Affie Miller took out the 'light' given to him by Metatron from behind him, and shouted to Thomas, "Come, we are about to enter the realm of darkness." Affie Miller walked and explained to Thomas, "Now Resley has been invaded by demons, and her spiritual world is gloomy, which is also the ideal environment for demons to affect people's emotions. ”

Afie Miller walked in front with the holy lamp, the light was dispelling the dense fog around them, and after they walked through them, they were wrapped again, Thomas looked down at the bridge, the fog below was getting thinner and thinner, the fog in the abyss was like a ghost in hell with countless teeth and claws, and from time to time there was a colored ray of light shuttling through the black fog for a while, if you fell it was like falling into an endless hell.

"Where is it down?"

"Below? Below is the other side of the spiritual world, where we call the 'Labyrinth of the Mind', where some will be swallowed up, and it will be difficult for the soul and consciousness to get out of it. ”

Thomas agreed, as if he didn't understand, "If people become vegetative...... Isn't it ......" He remembered one of his comrades-in-arms, once shrapnel hit him in the head during a mission, and he is still unconscious, his family cried for him and felt sorry for him, in the end, the doctor tried all kinds of ways to no avail, and even proposed euthanasia so that it was more suitable for him, but the family couldn't bear to give up like this, they hoped that one day a miracle would happen to him, Thomas knew the reason, and suddenly had a feeling of wanting to help him.

"Yes, there are many times when people can't go out, and even if they go out, most people's mobility will be greatly damaged, and people's will and spirit will be left here, and I've heard the cherubim angels talk about this before."

In this way, Thomas and Afie Miller, who were worried, walked across the suspension bridge, and they stood on the edge of the cliff, "Thomas, let's separate here, you need to go down the rest of the road by yourself, be careful not to let your fear reveal your place, I will complete the journey with you in this world...... chanting the Divine Word" After speaking, Afie Miller plucked a feather from under his wings and handed it to him, "Take this, the feather will help you." ”

Thomas looked at the feather in his hand and then at him, "What does this do?" ”

"We are not spirits but spirits, and feathers are also part of angels, and they are also part of spirits, and they also contain the power of heaven, and with them you can see the true face of demons, even in the spirit world, demons will disguise themselves as the people you know best to confuse and induce you."

"So how do I know I've rescued Resley? Or how can you rescue her? ”
