NO.594 THE TEMPTATION OF THE DEVIL

"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem! ”

In the slums in the evening, the sun gradually sets on the horizon, and the heavens and the earth darken. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info only the tents by the sea reveal a faint light. It's just that these rays of light are always dull, filled with a dimness like the sunset, and cannot be erased.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

In one of the tents, there was a sudden rush of dry coughing, and a lonely old man in the twilight was lying in the tent, coughing violently.

This old man is very old, so old that he has almost lost his teeth and hair, and his original destination should be to enter the national cryonics center, silently waiting for the opportunity to be resurrected in the future, but this stubborn old man did not do so.

He had lived long enough, at the age of three hundred and eighty, and had seen all the vicissitudes of history, he thought that it was time for him to return to the arms of the Lord, and he did not want to use cryonics.

For Christians like him, cryonics is instead trapping one's soul in this shell, unable to return to the arms of the Lord.

In fact, the old man is not poor, on the contrary, he has tens of billions of dollars in capital, has a biopharmaceutical company that researches T-series viruses, and has a great reputation throughout the Federation, if he wants to accept freezing, even the top cryogenic service treatment is usual.

Originally, he was going to die peacefully in the joy of his children and grandchildren, but before he died, God played a huge joke on him-

The aftermath of a sudden battle caused the whole of Los Angeles to suffer an unparalleled disaster, and the old man only remembered that he saw an endless bright light, and then completely lost consciousness......

When he woke up, he had been rescued by the Federal Defense Mechs, but all of his loved ones, including his great-granddaughter, who had just completed the moon, died in the explosion.

It's like an irony that a dying old man who didn't have many days to live had survived the disaster, but the most important relatives around him left him first.

Is this the Lord's punishment for me?

The old man coughed while thinking about all this, his eyes were full of resentment - after his death, the will originally left to his son will inevitably become invalid, after all, the son has died, then, the only person who gets the will can only be the grandson of a cousin who is far away, that kid he has seen, his mind is not right, he does not like it, and he is even more unwilling to give away the foundation he has worked hard for a lifetime to a distant relative who is almost indistinguishable from a stranger.

Thinking of this, the old man's eyes suddenly gave birth to a desire to survive! However, this light has dimmed for a moment, and now he has reached the time when the oil has run out, unless Allah comes, otherwise, even if he freezes, it will be too late, right?

"It's just, I'm so unwilling......" The old man sighed secretly, his cough gradually weakened, and at the same time, his consciousness swirled for a while, and in front of his eyes, it was as if he saw a black mist that was constantly filling, and began to slowly devour his sight......

"David Alexander?"

Just when the old man was about to completely lose consciousness, a voice suddenly floated from the sky, the old man's expression moved, and he used all his strength to look in the direction of the door, but he saw that a person whose whole body was full of divine brilliance was slowly walking towards him.

Almighty Lord, have you come to meet your humble servant?

The old man's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say a word, so he had to say this in his heart.

"I am not your lord." The man who was full of brilliance looked indifferent, his voice was low and hoarse, but his tone was full of bewilderment, "I'm just here to give you a choice and a chance." ”

"As far as I know, your life has come to an end, and the fire of life is dying and may be extinguished at any time, but it seems that you still have a wish?"

Yes, I don't want to die!

Suddenly, the old man's eyes turned red, and he stared at the light and shadow in front of him, his lips trembling.

I want to continue to live, I don't want to give away the family business that I have worked hard for all my life to give to a stranger! I'm not reconciled! O Lord Almighty, help me!

"Heh, in that case......" The figure opened his hand slightly, and with a light stroke of his fingers, a drop of purple blood flowed out of it, and under the reflection of the light, it actually flashed with a faint brilliance!

"Then make a contract with me." The figure smiled pityingly, "I will give you endless life, power beyond mortals, so that you can continue to enjoy the time of life in the world." And as a price, I need you to do one thing for me, once the thing is completed, you and I will clear both at the same time, this condition, do you agree? ”

I do, I do whatever I want!

Without thinking about it, the old man's eyes flashed with longing again, just like a hungry wolf that saw flesh and blood, and the pupils that were about to pass away the color of life actually flashed like a sharp knife again because of the other party's words!

"David Alexander, you need to think about it." The man chuckled under his breath, cold as a demon, "Please remember, once a contract is made, it can never be changed, and if you break it, I will make you feel something more horrible than hell, do you understand?" ”

I understand that I am willing to accept any conditions, please......

A flash of madness flashed in the old man's eyes, and when he looked at the tips of the man's fingers, his heart was filled with greed and desire, because he could feel that there was something in that strange drop of purple blood that made him crave it to the extreme!

This is an instinctive desire for life, if he hadn't run out of oil at this time and couldn't even stand up, I'm afraid he would even snatch that drop of blood desperately and swallow it in his mouth!

"Huh." At this time, the man finally showed a satisfied look, flicked his fingers, and suddenly, the purple blood bounced directly into the old man's mouth.

The old man's expression was like a demon in hell, and as that drop of blood fell into his mouth, he immediately closed his mouth greedily, but in the next second, his eyes suddenly widened!

In his senses, the blood seemed to be alive, and it exploded in his mouth, penetrating through the skin and muscles at the same time, and burrowing into the deepest part of his body......

Originally, this body had gradually lost its vitality, and even the most basic sense of touch became more and more numb.

But at this moment, he felt that his whole body was filled with an inexplicable power, and at the same time, a hot burning sensation continued to spread from all over his body, he kept trembling, and simply got up, raised the bucket high, and poured the fresh water in the bucket into his mouth!

His body was instantly filled with incomparable life force, until he drank a whole bucket of water, and the old man still felt that there was a fire in his body that was burning more and more, almost unbearable, so he simply tore his shirt and rushed out of the tent at the same time, running in the direction of the coastline!

Zhang Heng on the side watched all this silently, did not say anything, and did not make any actions to stop it, until ten minutes later, the old man eliminated the scorching heat in the seawater, and then walked back to the tent with some prostration.

But at this time, the old man who was dying before disappeared completely, and was replaced by a middle-aged man with a radiant look and a somewhat pale face.

In just ten minutes, this dying old man who had lived for nearly 400 years had become the appearance of less than 200 years old, and time seemed to have flowed back to him for more than 200 years......

It was only at this time that Alexander, who had been granted his wish, gradually calmed down, he touched his cheek in disbelief, the wrinkles that had been all over his face had been smoothed out, and his whole body was full of long-lost vitality, what was that drop of blood?

Thinking of this, Alexander looked into the tent in shock, and the person who had signed a contract with him before turned out to be an Asian man with an ordinary face, black hair and yellow skin, who was standing in a shadow, only the outline could be seen, but the face could not be seen clearly.

The only thing that can be seen faintly is the evil smile on the corner of the other party's mouth in the shadows......
