Since the birth of wisdom and the liberation of human beings from the period of ignorance, the level of civilization has gradually climbed! Human thought is gradually becoming more diverse and complex. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the midst of such a process, there is one thing that humanity desperately wants to know.
Countless generations of human beings, in such a kind of oral transmission, written record, extraordinary fear!
That's ...... Death!
And, the destination after death!
This is a question that countless people have wanted to solve for thousands of years! However, this question has always been taboo. No matter how human beings think and explore, they can't find the slightest clue.
Faced with such a situation, mankind began to fantasize.
I fantasize that after death, there is another world! That's the underworld, hell!
And the underworld is the darkest place, and hell is only a part of the underworld. Far less terrifying and dark than the netherworld!
……
For thousands of years, there have been many peoples scattered in all corners of the earth, and they have communicated very little for one reason or another. But, in general, there is something in common.
There are such records in the myths and legends of various nation-states about heaven and hell.
For example, Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, etc., have records about the underworld and hell! These religions or civilizations believe that hell is considered by some to be the place where the soul suffers after death.
Whether it is a good person or an evil person, whether you were a wealthy dignitary, an emperor or a general, a peddler, a beggar, a slave. There may not be equality between people during life, but after death, they are.
According to what you did in life, you will be judged in Hell after death!
The good can live in a carefree paradise, while the evil will suffer in hell and wait for a new reincarnation, a new beginning!
……
Whether these legends are true or not, there is one thing that proves the purpose of these legends, which is to warn or deter the world!
And in these legends, in hell, there is always a group of beings who are beyond human beings living in hell! When people die, their souls are under their dominion!
……
"Those who possess the Spear of Destiny will hold the fate of the world, and the whereabouts of the Spear of Destiny have been unknown since World War II!"
……
When night falls, the lights are on, the streets are brilliantly lit, and the traffic is endless!
In a gloomy alley, a brilliant whirlpool appeared out of thin air, and out of the whirlpool came a man in a black robe! The moment he stepped out of the whirlpool, an unknown existence was shaken by his arrival!
……
"Someone crossed the barrier?"
"Who the hell is it?"
……
"Phew!"
Jiang Ning spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and was suddenly choked by the peculiar smell around him! With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept away all the garbage and odor in the alley!
"Bad luck!"
"English again?"
Looking up at the billboard in the distance, the text written on it is in English that he is familiar with, and the line of 'City of Angels' welcomes you! pointed out the information for Jiang Ning, this is still the earth, but there is an extraordinary existence in this world!
Feeling the suppression of the rules of the world, Jiang Ning frowned. He has also made many world shuttle trips! In the face of the suppression of the rules of the world, those worlds have almost no restrictions! You just need to adapt to the rules and you can ignore the effect completely! And now, in this new world, he once again feels this repression of rules and some rejection.
A colorful light flickered abruptly on his fingertips, flicking towards the void!
Jiang Ning obviously felt that the suppression on his body had disappeared, and the world was not rejecting him!
“……”
Walking towards the highway with your feet up, you still need to make contact with the information of this world. You can also learn about it on TV, in newspapers, or on the Internet.
"The style of the 90s! Wearing this wizard's robe is a bit too ostentatious. ”
I looked up a few times across the road and saw a newsstand. Lifting his feet and walking, the clothes on his body instantly changed, and the black wizard robe turned into a trench coat. He wears a dark brown leather jacket, black skinny jeans, and dark brown leather boots! With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked towards the newsstand.
"Nothing valuable!"
Flipping through the newspaper in my hand, there are some miscellaneous sections on it. Most of them are government news, international current affairs, celebrity gossip and some gossip.
"Huh? Suicide of a person in a psychiatric hospital? ”
On the newspaper page in his hand, it was written that the Ravenska Psychiatric Hospital, the patient committed suicide by jumping off the building!
"I seem to be a little impressed..."
"Impressions? What impressions do you have, lad? The owner of the newsstand, a middle-aged white man, couldn't help but talk after hearing Jiang Ning's self-talk.
Jiang Ning pointed to the newspaper page and said, "I mean this report!" ”
"This report was specially broadcast by the local TV station. The suicide was committed by a young woman who was said to have severe paranoia. I don't know why I committed suicide by jumping off a building, alas, the poor girl could not get a funeral presided over by a priest after her death! The newspaper owner said with some regret.
"Can't be funeral officiated by a priest?"
"Catholics are not allowed to commit suicide, their lives belong not only to themselves, but also to the Lord. Jesus bought it with His precious blood. It is no longer to live for oneself, but Christ lives in us, and also gives his life to the Lord, believing that He has a good will in our lives, and God gave up the life of His only begotten Son so that we may live, and since God cherishes our lives immensely, if the world does not value his own life, and commits suicide on the spur of the moment. You will not be forgiven by the Lord, and you will not be able to enter heaven after death! The newsstand owner said with a look of regret.
"That's a shame!"
After paying the money, Jiang Ning left in a hurry. There was no way, after learning that Jiang Ning was not a Catholic, the owner of the newsstand insisted on holding his hand and preaching to him to explain the doctrine and the love of God.
And where does Jiang Ning have the kung fu, listen to him say this? A little confused his spirit, take the opportunity to leave.
The all-seeing eye hanging on his chest, slightly radiating a faint millilight, analyzed.
"This is... Enchantment! ”
Reaching out and touching it, my fingers immediately popped away!
"Moreover, there are two levels of enchantment!"
Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with a faint light, and then the whole world immediately became different when he looked at it with his eyes. The world that Jiang Ning saw with his eyes became a black and white world! And this black and white world is located in the very center, and a layer of enchantment hangs over it. Underneath it, too, is shrouded in an enchantment.
The enchantment seems to protect this monotonous, fragile human world!
And Jiang Ning, through perception, clearly perceived that the powerful existence was in the upper and lower layers of enchantment. These unknown existences, they are firmly blocked from the outside world by this thin layer of enchantment.
"Still, there's a lot of stuff that slips in!"
Looking at the young girl walking by beside him, Jiang Ning saw through it at a glance, and her inner fundamental appearance! But it was a firstborn with two horns, dark red eyes, some poisonous snakes and bursts of black smoke hanging from his body.
Just by looking at this appearance, you can clearly know that this existence hidden in the appearance of human beings is obviously the devil living in hell!
"How did these guys come to earth?"
I glanced at the enchantment, and although it seemed weak, it was unexpectedly tenacious. It exists to protect humanity's fragile and weak world from being invaded by powerful beings from other worlds. In the same way, its existence also prevents humans from trying to pass through the barrier and enter the unknown and powerful world. However, for thousands of years, there have always been people who have been smuggled into the country through various means.
But most of them are still firmly blocked.
……
"This gentleman!"
"What's the matter?"
Looking at the young man in the priest's uniform, Jiang Ning looked at him suspiciously.
"Father Priest invites you to go!" The priest said.
"Priest?"
……
Push open the door and look at the huge church in front of you. Jiang Ning followed the young priest into the church. On both sides of the church, rows of bookshelves are stacked, and an oil painting hangs above the fireplace in the center. It was Jesus who was crucified, and a Roman centurion named Longinus was armed with a spear and pierced Jesus in the right chest.
And by the fireplace, there stood a man in a small suit. Position with your back to the gate.
"Please!"
The priest spread his right hand, gestured to Jiang Ning, and then walked to the bookshelf.
"Huh?"
Jiang Ning looked at the man who was still facing away from him, but suddenly saw a pair of wings stretching out from the man's back.
"Welcome, young wizard! I used to think that I would never see a wizard as powerful as you again. I didn't expect your bone age to be so young! ”
"You are..."
Looking at this man with short blonde hair, who looks like Janetis...
"Gabriel!"
Jiang Ning's pupils contracted like dots: "Archangel, Gabriel!" ”
Gabriel smiled: "That's right, it seems that I am quite famous in the world!" ”
"Hehe, the name of your archangel is circulating throughout the world! How can it not be famous? Jiang Ning smiled sarcastically, a little displeased with the archangel's demeanor.
"I don't know, what are you doing with someone picking me up, won't you want to chat with me!"
"Sit down and talk!" After Jiang Ning sat down, Gabriel also sat on the chair, crossed his legs: "I'm curious about you, wizard. Since a thousand years ago, there has never been a wizard with powerful mana in this world! You come first! Even a thousand years ago, your mana was among the best among the wizards! ”
Jiang Ning didn't speak, and quietly listened to Gabriel. Angels are genderless, and the religious account of Gabriel has always been described as male. And some paintings with Gabriel have always depicted the archangel with a male appearance. The one in front of her is a woman's appearance, but it does not match the description in the religious account.
According to religious records, this archangel was originally a Seraph, a noble and prominent person, and later became an archangel. He is an important guard chief in the heavens, serving as the guard of the entire heavenly realm, and he has become the best backup candidate for the Seraph, with communication as his main function. Bring good news to the angels of the world for God. Legend has it that the trumpet of the Last Judgment was sounded by him, and he was believed to be a symbol of wisdom.
……
"Your Excellency, you invited me to come to you just to praise me!"
"You know what?"
"What?"
Jiang Ning was puzzled by Gabriel's sudden serious expression, he was smiling just now, why did he suddenly become serious again?
"You've touched the barrier!" Looking at Jiang Ning's calm expression, she said again: "And this is not allowed, since the beginning of the creation. The barrier already exists, and neither angels nor demons can pass through it and come to the world! ”
"I am a human being, I am not an angel, I am not a devil!" Jiang Ning emphasized.
"No, you're not human!"
"What do you mean?"
Gabriel pointed to Jiang Ning's heart and said, "You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me!" The essence of your body is already half detached from the essence of human beings! It's almost a demigod level, and the other half, although it hasn't been completely transformed, is a matter of time. Do you dare to say that you are human? ”
"Because of this, you think I'm not human anymore?"
"That's right!"
Jiang Ning stretched out his hand: "This is the instinct of the body, in pursuit of a higher level of transformation. It has nothing to do with me, I'm a wizard! The pursuit is truth, exploration, and decryption! Without a long life, powerful mana, and the means to protect oneself, how can a wizard explore everything and pursue the truth? ”
"Truth? It's the preserve of the gods, the wizards, and the heretics! ”
"The Tao is different, not conspiratory!" With that, he got up and was about to leave.
"Stop!"
Jiang Ningsen turned around coldly and looked at the archangel coldly: "How?" Your Excellency Archangel, do you want to do something with me? In the human world, how much power can you exert? ”
"If you and I start a dispute lightly, the world will become purgatory! God won't allow it, it will only cheapen the devil! ”
"Tell me straight, what the hell do you want?"
What does it mean to be tempting and persecuting all the time?
Just as Gabriel was about to speak, the door of the church was pushed open. Gabriel turned his head to look, and was silent for a moment, Jiang Ning looked down and saw a man wearing a windbreaker, with black hair and slightly pale skin, walking in.
"Konstantin!"
