Chapter 3 Mr. Kridinska
At this moment, the butler-like man appeared in front of them again, interrupting the conversation between the two. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sir, it's time to take your medicine." He handed a pill and a glass of water to Mr. Kridinska.
Mr. Kridinska put the medicine in his mouth and took a sip of water. The pill seemed to be difficult to swallow, and his expression as he drank water and swallowed the medicine looked a little painful.
It took him a long time before he returned to his normal state and slowly told Qi Luoling a story. The story he tells is different from the content of the guild information, but the ending is different.
After Heydrich, a German Nazi officer committed suicide, a flame suddenly appeared on his body, and as the fire spread in vain, the raging fire quickly consumed his body, and then only his soul was heard screaming in the fire.
Demonic voices quickly echoed over the dilapidated church.
"I am a demon, and I have come to judge you. Judge your disobedience and sinful deeds during your lifetime. Because of your murderous and wicked deeds, I will scorch your soul in the fire for seven days, and send it to the deepest hell, where you will be tormented forever and repent in it forever. “
The pain and torment of being scorched by the fire could hardly be endured by any soul, including Heydrich's, who grew weaker and weaker in the fire, and gradually felt that he was about to die.
So Heydrich's soul kept begging for mercy, hoping to get the devil's forgiveness.
"I beg you, as long as I can stop this pain and suffering, you can do whatever I want." Heydrich's voice pleaded.
"Really?" The demon raised his voice and seemed to be moved.
"Of course. I swear by the name of my Renault family. ”
"Well, I can save you from suffering, and I can keep you from going to hell, but you have to promise to do something."
"Whatever I do, I'm willing."
"I want to take your soul and use it for me."
"May I ask you what you're going to do with my soul?"
"I want your soul to be a messenger of demonic music."
"Demon music? Is that the sad song of the devil that I have heard? ”
"Yes. By the time you hear the demonic music, you are dead, but the song of the devil's sorrow will not disappear from the world, it will live on forever. The descendants of demonic music will pass it on from generation to generation. So I want you to be a messenger of demonic music. ”
"I do."
"Not only you, but also your descendants will be messengers of demonic music, conveying the message of demonic music and protecting the descendants of demonic music. Of course, I will also let your descendants enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, and let the descendants of your family enjoy wealth, status and beauty forever. But in exchange with it, the soul after death will not go to heaven or hell, but will be used by me. This is certainly not for everyone, only those who have been chosen by me will become messengers of demonic music. ”
"And where are our souls?"
"Your souls wander in another dimension, between the human world and the afterlife, and you exist only for the heirs of demonic music, which means that only he can see you."
"Am I dead or alive?"
"Does this make a difference? This war will soon be over, and even if you live in this world, you will not be able to avoid a righteous judgment. Then your soul will be beaten into the eighteen layers of hell. Now your soul stays in this dimension, not only to see the end of this war and avoid judgment, but also to survive in this way for a long time. ”
"This way of being seems absurd."
"Yes, there are two paths in front of you, I will not force you, you are free to make any decision."
"What did you mean when you said that you had lived in the world for a long time?"
"Everything begins and ends, and when you complete your mission, you will disappear from this absurd world. Then someone in your family will be chosen as the next messenger of the demonic music when they are born. When he dies, the soul will also become a messenger of demonic music. ”
"Well, I do. But how did I find the demonic music heir in the middle of nowhere? ”
"The hallmark of the Demon Music Heir is a butterfly birthmark on your right upper arm, and after you and I signed this contract, you have an I-shaped birthmark on your right upper arm in the same position. This symbol will appear when every chosen Demon Music Messenger of your clan is born. ”
......
Qi Luoling suddenly remembered that the last time the messenger of demonic music appeared was when she came to Shanghai, and then he never appeared again, did this mean that he had completed his mission and his soul had vanished?
"This is the fate of our family, a fate that cannot be changed." Mr. Kridinska said sadly.
"Heydrich's next turn for you?" Qi Luoling looked at him.
"Yes."
"I want to see your birthmark." Qi Luoling said.
Mr. Kridinska rolled up his sleeve to reveal the birthmark on his right upper arm.
"Please take a closer look at this birthmark."
Qi Luoling looked at the birthmark carefully.
Like the position of her right upper arm, he also has a birthmark shaped like an "I" on the same body part. Like a sharp weapon, its length covers almost the entire upper right arm.
That "I" is more of a birthmark than a scar, as it is noticeably slightly more raised than normal skin and is cyan in color. It seems to be the sign of some mysterious organization, and it looks unusually evil.
"This birthmark is like a brand."
"Yes, it's the imprint of the Demon Fire Trial."
"Why this I?"
"To be exact, it's not the I in the English alphabet, but the first letter from the ancient Hebrew word for the devil."
"Oh. But," Qi Luoling frowned, "how can I confirm that what you said is true and not false?" Although I have experienced many absurd things, I have maintained a suspicious attitude towards others. ”
Mr. Kridinska smiled and pressed a button on his wheelchair, making a crisp ticking sound.
The butler-like man walked over again, holding a wooden box in his hand, and handed it to him.
It is an antique wooden box, with crimson lacquer and several diamond-shaped crosses on the outside, which seems to be a divine pattern.
"I have a well-preserved devil's contract here. You can take a look. ”
He opened the wooden box and handed her a roll of parchment, which was white and soft.
There is a bright red pentagram in the upper left corner of the parchment, and a moon in the lower right corner. In the middle was the text, but she didn't know what it was, let alone what was written on it.
Kridinska seemed to see her embarrassment, smiled and said, "This is the ancient Hebrew script, the old Bible was written in the ancient Heber script, so the demonic contract was also written in the ancient Heber script. I can translate it for you. ”
He took the parchment again and translated it into English.
"The devil is willing to provide all the wealth, power, and power of the world to the whole family of Renault, and to help him attain a noble position, to relieve him of his sorrows, to have pleasure, and to obtain all his needs; However, those of the Renault family who are appointed by the demons must give their souls to the demons after death, and the souls belong to the demons and become messengers of the demon's music. This contract is powerful and effective, and if the Renault family breaks the contract, the demon has the power to take everything that is given, and incidentally take the lives of all the family members. Contractor: Demon Heydrich"
When Kridinska finished speaking, Qi Luoling fell silent.
Then she looked around at the splendid mansions and the large number of expensive art displays, and said, "All the wealth and status you have are secretly given by the devil to fulfill the contents of the contract?" ”
"Yes, I'm a jewellery merchant, and I've had a lot of money in my career, and I've done almost everything I want to do, and not only that, but I've also gained respect and recognition in the industry, and I have a prominent social status."
"If the devil favors you so much, why are you in a wheelchair? According to the spirit of the contract, the demon should protect you from the harm of the world? ”
Mr. Kridinska smiled wryly: "The reason I am in a wheelchair is that I am punished for my treachery by trying to break the contract. ”
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"When I was in my twenties, young and aloof, I didn't believe in any such thing as a demonic contract, and before I even tried to remove the birthmark from my right arm, I found the tattoo maker and wanted to cover it with a new pattern. But when I wake up the next day, the birthmark will be the same again. At that time, I hated the so-called demonic contract, so on a full moon night, I stole it behind the back of the rest of my family and tried to destroy it. But at this moment, my feet slipped and I rolled down the cliff, and my legs were paralyzed ever since. ”
"Maybe it's an accident?"
"No, it wasn't an accident, because as I rolled off the cliff, I heard my uncle's voice, old and desolate."
"What did he say?"
He said, son, everything we get in the world comes at a price. Commitment is above all else, so we must have the spirit of the contract and not tear up the demon contract, otherwise you will get endless pain and remorse. ”
The two fell silent again.
"How did you find out about my whereabouts?" Half-ringing, Qi Luoling asked.
"For more than half a century, I have been secretly collecting information about demonic music. Include your information. Only three members of our family know about this secret, and now they are both deceased, which means that only I know now. I kept my mouth shut, and never mentioned anything about demonic music to outsiders. ”
"In that case, you just need to fulfill your promise after death, why do you want to come to me and tell me these secrets?" Qi Luoling looked at him puzzled.
"First of all, I want to do my best landlord's friendship, you are the first time to come to Warsaw, Poland, I hope you eat and live in my villa. Second, I'm also curious to see what the heirs of the devil's music that my soul protects after death look like. ”
"Oh, sorry, may have disappointed you, I've booked the hotel. I'm not used to disturbing people, so I took your heart, and I'm sorry. ”
"I generally don't like to be strong, and since you've decided, I respect your decision. But ......."
"But what?"
"But I'll warn you"
"Remind me of what?"
"I remind you to be especially careful in Warsaw, because I feel a dangerous force approaching you, but I don't see what kind of danger, so I want you to be especially careful in Warsaw."
Mr. Kridinska stared at Qi Luoling for a long time.
