Volume VII: Hybrids Chapter 4
Chapter 4
We returned to base empty-handed, and the first thing Walker did was take care of his "Brasel R93" sniper rifle, and he still had the words on his lips: "That crazy woman named Emily, if I see her again, I promise to make her head bloom." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Alright, Volker. I said, "The man has already run away, and tomorrow I'll go and ask Frank and I, and maybe it will come to light." ”
"What?" Frank asked me, "Looks like you have their whereabouts?"
"Tomorrow, you'll find out when you go with me. ”
"If it was daytime, we would have strangled them in coffins. ”
"I don't think it's that simple, the Baroque is cunning. ”
"Once we find out this time, they won't want to escape again. ”
The next day, as soon as the sky was brightening, I, Frank, and Isabel arrived at Prince Charlie's Point early in the morning. I think that the inhabitants of this place must be sensitive to new strangers, and they will find out the whereabouts of Baroque and Ralph and others with a little inquiry.
We asked a lot of people who live in the neighborhood and finally came up with some eyebrows. I heard a middle-aged man say: "There is a group of people who always come out at night and stay at home during the day, which is particularly mysterious. "I thought: it must be Baroque and Ralph's gang. The middle-aged man answered my question impatiently, and I gave the man a thousand pounds to know the address of the mysterious men, and then he told us the address of the mysterious men: 19 Battleship Street.
We then went to 19 Battleship Street and found the apartment of the mysterious men, and we quickly climbed to the roof without anyone seeing. I saw through the skylight a few coffins standing in the room, and I didn't think we were really on the right side, and I concluded that this was the residence of the Evil Spirits. I had the audacity to open the skylight and go inside, because the Baroque group would not come out during the day. It's very spacious, there are a lot of coffins upstairs and downstairs, and Baroque and Ralph are in the coffin, and we can open the coffins and nail them one by one with stakes inside.
We quickly opened all the coffins upstairs and downstairs. Baroque was still sleeping, he slept so deeply that killing him was like crushing an ant. Alpha, Emily, Nikolai, Scatter, all of them, and I could easily identify Ralph himself, who looked the same as the picture on the computer. It seems that their group of unlucky people are in danger today, and I will soon kill this group of demons who are trying to harm the world, and I wonder if I will become the true lord of justice.
Without much thought, I took out my dagger and killed several of them without mercy, blood splattered on my clothes, but luckily I had two coats. Frank and Isabel also killed a few indiscriminately. I said to the sleeping Baroque, "You should never wake up." I raised my dagger and was about to stab him in the heart. Suddenly, all three of us were pushed to the ground at the same time by a powerful force. We quickly stood up, and we were taken aback, and I wanted to figure out what was stopping us. Could it be that Baroque can exert his great power even when he is asleep?Just as we were all confused about this, a strange and hoarse voice came from the stairwell: "I knew you were coming." ”
"Who are you? I shouted up the stairs.
After a few footsteps going upstairs, I saw an ugly-looking, pale, devastated old man with sparse hair appear at the top of the stairs, wearing a shabby black trench coat, and he was about to be ninety years old, at least.
"Who are you, old fellow?" asked Frank viciously.
Isabel tried to pull out her gun, but she couldn't, as if she was being held back by some force. "What's going on? Hell. She said puzzled.
"Little girl, I advise you to stand obediently. The old man said.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked the old man.
"My eyes have been watching your every move in this area lately. ”
I suddenly remembered the mysterious man in the cap who had appeared on the banks of the Thames that day, and I thought: Could he be Samael's eyeliner? "Cap man?" I muttered.
"Go back and tell your friend of the six wings, and say that his old friend Samael wants to meet him. ”
"Samael, your name is Samael?"
"Go tell him. ”
"I think you're getting impatient. Frank threw the dagger at him. The old man waved his hand slightly, and the dagger instantly turned into smoke and disappeared.
"Oh my God!" Frank was even more surprised.
Looks like this old guy is not easy to mess with, and we'd better get out of here. We were about to escape through the skylight when we were knocked out by several flying coffin lids, and then slammed into the wall, Frank's nose was broken, Isabel was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and I felt a tingling sensation in my chest. Who is this old fellow? The old man raised his right hand, and the three of us unconsciously floated into the air, as if we were completely restrained, unable to move. The old guy then made a forward gesture, and we were pushed out by a strong current, and then slammed open the window and fell into the deserted alley, choking on the spot, and some broken glass and window frames fell immediately after.
We quickly got up, and when I looked up, I saw that the old man was leaning out and looking at us with a wicked smile. It seems that the visitor is not good, and we must not stay here for long, so we must leave immediately, so we will run away.
Along the way, I was so angry that my nose was crooked, and I kept scolding the old guy. No one can accept this fact, and they are about to kill Baroque, but they are stopped by a strange old guy, where did that old guy come from?
"What's going on? Damn. I yelled, "Damn, how can we be bullied by that ugly old fellow." "I jumped like thunder and kicked a garbage can on the side of the road, and the garbage can flew more than 20 meters away, almost hitting a passer-by, who was startled and stared into my eyes. "What are you looking at?" I yelled at the man, who pouted and walked away.
"The old fellow's name is Samael. Isabel said, "He said let's tell our friends of the six wings." Six wings? Does he mean Lucifer?"
"It's possible. ”
"But how do we get in touch with Lucifer?"
"I'm sure he'll show up when the time comes. ”
"What now?" asked Frank.
"Back to base. ”
This time the teacher was unfavorable, and after returning to the base, I quickly adjusted my emotions. To alleviate the pressure, Frank and I played table tennis at a leisurely pace, with Isabel as the referee. It's a bit shabby, but it's pretty good. We played table tennis for two hours in a row, but we couldn't tell the winner, and then we found it boring, so we put down our rackets and went to the rooftop. My heart was still full of depression, and I looked up to the sky, hoping that Lucifer would suddenly appear in front of me.
"Alex. Lucifer's voice suddenly came from behind me.
I immediately looked back at him, "Lucifer, you've come at the right time. ”
"You're all here. ”
"We happen to be looking for you, do you know a man named Samael?"
"Of course I know, he should be in St. London. ”
"How do you know?"
"Because something happened in hell. ”
"What?" I was surprised, could it be that Samael and Lucifer were mortal enemies?
Lucifer then uses his powerful mana to take us to Hell, all of which is like a spatial shift, only to see the things around us pass by, and then in an instant we reach the misty Styx, which is full of mountains, cliffs, and the ruins of ruined ancient castles. On the desolate hillside, ferocious two-headed vultures and one-horned wolves are gnawing at mountains of corpses. The spirits of the deceased fall from the dim sky with a creepy scream. On the banks of the river, winged horned demons constantly whipped sinners in hell with their whips, spitting out bitter curses from time to time.
I was used to this kind of sight, but it was the first time Frank and Isabel had seen it, and I could tell that they were nervous and slightly terrified of everything around them.
Occasionally, the hideous faces of the dead poke out of the river, and the towering cliffs on both sides of the river make the River Styx extremely dark and terrifying, and if it weren't for Lucifer, we would have lost our way.
"Where are we going?" I asked Lucifer, but he didn't answer, so I continued, "If it weren't for Samael, I would have killed the Baroque a long time ago." ”
"So, Samael has followers?" Lucifer asked.
"It's possible that Baroque and Ralph are two of Samael's followers, and they will continue to develop their new virus, I wonder why Samael is trying to help them?"
"Samael has always been dissatisfied with being relegated to hell, the Holy Father is in charge of all things in the universe, and I am in charge of hell, so he also wants to get his own place, so he keeps proposing to be the lord of the earth, wants to find his followers on the earth, and fantasizes about one day becoming the ruler of the earth, but his proposal is opposed, and he has been ostracized and ignored ever since. ”
"For Samael, being excluded is a relief, but for the people of the planet it is the beginning of disaster. Lucifer, aren't you bent on being the Lord of Justice? ”
He looked embarrassed, "I don't have the right to intervene directly in this matter, because he is an indispensable politician in heaven and hell." ”
"You're so complicated here. ”
"It's always been so complicated. Recently, I have always felt that some evil angels will come down to the world in an attempt to harm humanity, and they may well use the greedy desires of some people to achieve their own ends. The purpose of bringing you here this time is to show you what terrible things will happen in the future, and if it is really as the prophecy says, we will all have to take on the responsibility of saving the world!"
"I'm glad you can say that, believing that we will defeat evil. ”
In the depths of the mist far away from the River Styx loomed the bow of a large ship, which was heading towards us, and the sound of the oars swinging could be clearly heard.
Lucifer pulled out a coin and flicked it with his thumb into the distant mist.
"What is this for?" I asked.
"The cost of boarding. Lucifer said.
"Do you still have to pay the boarding fee?"
"Even when the Holy Father is here, he has to pay the boarding fee, and there is no free means of transportation. ”
The ship soon came to shore and stood in front of us like a mountain, making us look very small. When I looked closely, I saw that there were many dead human skeletons hanging from the bow and stern of the ship, and some of the rotting human heads were hung by the ghost soldiers by the guardrails, which made people shudder.
Since the ship was too big and too tall, we did not go directly to the deck, but went directly to the bottom of the ship from the side via a wooden ladder. The oars are so large that they require a powerful man to control, so they are rowed by some hideous, ugly beasts. It is a ghost ship that carries sinful souls, and sinners are chained and stand in rows, and will be transported to the depths of hell to endure the torment of life worse than death. Until then, they can't say a word, or they will be executed as escaped prisoners by the ghost soldiers.
Everything here made me sick, so we went to the deck. The deck was no different from the cabin, with black-robed ghost soldiers patrolling around with two-headed beaked beasts or ghoul monkeys, and some carrying soul lamps to collect the ghosts on both sides of the river who tried to escape judgment. Sometimes, sinners wandering in hell would pop up in the river, and the ghost soldiers would mercilessly hook their bodies with throwing hooks and drag them onto the boat, no matter how much they pleaded, once they were dragged onto the boat, they would inevitably have their eyes gouged out and their tongues cut out.
After a long journey, the ghost ship approached the dock, and we disembarked to see a majestic dark metropolis looming out of the mist-shrouded barren mountains ahead, and a magnificent castle stood in the middle of the city.
"There is no return to the city ahead. Lucifer said.
I've been to the City of No Return, and I remember that there was a pool of prophecy there. We walked up a stone bridge that led to the gate of no return, and the stinking river was filled with the heads of countless dead people, and the occasional vulture or wild dog came to the river to gnaw on the carrion.
Lucifer directly uses the magic of spatial transfer to bring us into the castle in the middle of the city, intending to take us to a prophet who is said to be able to tell us more precisely something that will happen in the future and cannot be avoided, and the prophecy of the pool can be prevented, but no one can stop the prophet's prophecy. May the prophetic prophecy not disappoint us.
We came to a dark hallway with cobweb-strewn chandeliers, and the walls on either side occasionally oozing blood down the walls into the cracks in the tiles. As we walked, a door loomed in the fog in front of us, and Lucifer pushed the door in, and we followed.
The room was empty, with a torch in each of the four corners. A slender man in a black cloak and hood stood in front of a huge fireplace, as if thinking about something. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I thought: his face must be ugly, and I don't want to see it.
"Caesar. Lucifer greeted the man in black and introduced him to the three of us outsiders.
Caesar raised his head slightly, and at that moment I saw his face, which was definitely a half-rotten, fleshy face, his lips and cheeks almost rotten, revealing his jagged and blackened fangs. Blue flames still burned in his eyes, and the cold breath coming out of his mouth could be seen as he spoke. "Your Highness, what are you looking for me?" he asked in a hoarse, cold voice.
Lucifer had a very reluctant expression, but he still spoke: "Caesar, I want to know what terrible things may happen in the future, can you predict it for me?"
"Absolutely, Your Highness. He faced the huge fireplace, and his mouth was chanting words as if he were chanting a mantra. He stretched his arms out to the sides, revealing his hands that were only white bones. After chanting the incantation, the dry wood in the fireplace suddenly ignited with a blue flame.
As the flames in the fireplace grew brighter and brighter, the flames showed the silhouette of two Seraphims fighting. After a few seconds, the flames instantly turned into a vortex of fire, with the occasional wail of the dead coming from within. Suddenly, Caesar was struck against the wall by a powerful force, and the flames in the fireplace disappeared.
Lucifer helped Caesar up, "Are you alright?"
"It's fine. Caesar said.
"What do you see?"
"I saw that the fate of the world and the city of angels would be in the hands of two Seraphims, and their power was too great for me to hold on. It's terrible!
"Lucifer, do you know where Samael came from?" I asked.
"Of course I do. Lucifer said, "He was a seraphim in the seventh heaven. When Noah's life was near, the Holy Father asked him to take Noah's soul, and he succeeded in taking Noah's soul. Later, the Father asked him to take Moses' soul again, but he failed, because Moses saw the archangel Medanzo when he was leading the Israelites out of Egypt, and the appearance of Medanzo gave Moses the protection of the Holy Light, so he could not take Moses' soul. Later, Samael was rebuked by the Holy Father, so he fell, and in a fit of rage, he led some of the angels to rebel, becoming the first Seraphim to start a rebellion. His stupidity and impulsiveness led to his eventual defeat, and all the angels who rebelled with him were killed, while he himself was lucky enough to escape to the Garden of Eden and become a serpent. In revenge on the Father, he tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in the lower court in the Garden of Eden, which led to Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden for good. Afterward...... He went to Hell and became one of the Satans. ”
"You're going to get him back?"
"I don't know what he was up to, why did he go to the human world? What was there on Earth that fascinated him?"
"Look at the way he is old, I don't think it will have much impact on the world. ”
"He just looks old, and the reason he is old is because he doesn't have enough supporters and believers to follow him, and his strength comes from the admiration and following of others. ”
"He's already the boss of the Evil Spirits and the Black Gold Fanatics. The two angels in the fire should be you and Samael, and the fate of the whole world is likely to be in your hands. ”
"Samael's ability is not as good as before, and he will not cause harm to the world for the time being, if I want to kill him, it is actually very simple, but he is now a councillor who has no return to the city, and once I kill him, it will cause public opinion. I also knew that some of the things prophesied by the prophets would really happen. According to the time in Heaven, in another month, it will be time for me to meet Gabriel, and I want to wait until I have met with her before dealing with Samael's affairs. ”
"If Samael wants to take over Earth now, you shouldn't care, right?"
"Of course I will, it would be nice if I could see Samael now. ”
"I can take you right now, he's at Prince Charles' Point in St. London. ”
"It is not entirely certain that the devil who tried to harm the world was Samael. ”
"Whether it's him or not, you have to talk to him. ”
At this moment, the surrounding environment is transformed into St. London Harbour, and we lead Lucifer to the apartment complex where the Evil Spirits and the Black Gold Fanatics live. On the way to the apartment, I saw a cloud of smoke streaking across the sky, flying in the direction of the suburbs.
Lucifer saw the smoke as well. "Keep up. He said, "That's Samael." ”
We followed the smoke to a deserted cemetery on the outskirts of the city, which was a century old.
Soon after arriving at the cemetery, Samael's hoarse voice was heard, and his voice echoed throughout the cemetery: "Lucifer, I knew you would come, there is no one here, it is too suitable for us to talk." ”
"It's Samael. Lucifer said calmly.
"Where is he?" I asked. I was back to back with Frank and Isabel, on the one hand, on the alert in case something came from all sides.
"It's useless, Samael's words to deal with you are simple. ”
"You're right, Lucifer. Samael stepped out from behind a tall stone monument and said, "Three half-bloods, you're here at last. ”
I noticed that Samael was much younger than before. "That's him. I whispered to Lucifer.
"Samael, why are you here?" asked Lucifer.
Samael said hello to Lucifer, "I didn't expect the air here to be much fresher than hell, shouldn't you be a bodyguard for the three of them?"
"I advise you to stop it, so as not to anger the Almighty Father, for once all the angels of the moon and heaven come, none of us can bear it, so I advise you to come back quickly, and the gate of the city will always be open for you. ”
"I'm really fed up with that place, all I hear every day in the abyss are the screams and cries of the dead, those horned demons don't take me seriously at all, you and I are both expelled from heaven, but in hell, why is there such a big gap between the two of us?" he walked up to Lucifer and looked friendly, "Look, you are still so handsome and dashing, you have the respect of all the angels, many angels can even betray the Holy Father in order to follow you, I can't understand why they did this?" Are you so attractive? Gabriel loved you so much that he was willing to resign as archangel and go to hell with you. He laughed and cried, "Am I not even as good as a bedbug? I have become the satan that everyone spits on, and I just don't understand why people hate me so much? I think in the first place, I tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit so that mankind could enter civilization, hoping to surpass the gods one day." ”
"That's just a way for you to get revenge on the gods. ”
"The forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden was forbidden to be eaten because many gods feared that once the forbidden fruit was eaten by humans, humans would surpass them and thus lose their divine dignity. ”
"So, without your help, humanity wouldn't be where it is today?"
"You're right, it was the apple that Eve ate that changed humanity. But what about human beings? Not only do they not know how to repay the favor, but they always see me as the embodiment of evil. ”
"What are you going to do?"
Samael smiled coldly, "I think it's time for revenge, and the two of us together can definitely return to Heaven, force the gods to make peace with us, and promise us to rule Heaven with them." ”
"No way, we can't win. ”
"You lead your old tribe and lead the demons in Hell to come to a Jedi counterattack, you have three-quarters of the combat power of Heaven, no one dares to compete with you, although the Holy Father's power is above you, he does not dare to go to war with you directly, because that will bring devastating disasters to the world, and the world he has carefully created will become meaningless. Beelzebub, Belil, and Mestma are also ready to help you with me, and we are relatively brothers, and this is a great opportunity for revenge, and I hope you will not let down the sincerity of everyone towards you. ”
"Lucifer, don't listen to him. I said.
Lucifer looked at me, then at Samael, "Even if you want to help me, what can you do to help? You're alone now, and you don't even have a place to live." ”
"My strength is strong enough to surpass the current archangels. ”
"You're bragging. ”
"I endure pain in the abyss of hell, my immortality comes from the screams and sorrows of the dead, the evil power deposited in the abyss of hell for thousands of years has filled my body, as time passes, the poisonous insects in the abyss have also parasitized in my body, my weapons are these poisonous insects, and their food is the souls of those who are greedy for money, gluttonous eaters, and ****. Then, a black pustule bulged out of his neck, and then a thumb-sized black maggot with mouthparts burst out of its skin and burrowed down his jaw into his mouth, and the wound on his neck healed.
I was dumbfounded, but Lucifer was not surprised, but smiled faintly, "What can this be? Are you threatening me? Or are you demonstrating to me? I have no desire to return to Heaven, and I am satisfied that I can control Hell." ”
"You and I are both deportees, and if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your lover. ”
"You mean Gabriel?"
"If she sees you return to Heaven, I dare say that she will lead her men to raise the banner of rebellion with you, once Gabriel rebels, the morale of the Heavenly Army will be greatly reduced, even if Michael and Medanzo appear in time, it will be difficult to save the defeat, when the time comes, the gods will take the initiative to ask you for peace, and you can take the opportunity to become another god who is in the limelight, Gabriel is your queen, as for me...... I'll be at your disposal at any time, what do you think?"
"Lucifer, you can't let Gabriel down on you. I said, "Samael asked you to do this entirely for himself, and he wanted to take advantage of you." ”
Samael looked at me menacingly and said, "Do you want your friend to stay in hell forever?" ”
"Samael. Lucifer said, "They are my friends, and I have worked so hard to save them, do you want my efforts to be meaningless?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, I just want you to return to Heaven, in my heart, you are the real Savior, although the Holy Father created the world, but he cannot save the world, and you can. ”
"In a little while, it will be time for me to meet Gabriel. ”
"Really? when?"
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Forgive me for talking too much. ”
"I've decided to wait until I've met Gabriel before making a decision. ”
"But ......"
"What, is there a problem?"
"Of course, no problem, I think she'll do anything for you. ”
"You don't have to worry about that. ”
"Then why are you trying to co-opt the Evil Spirits and the Black Gold Maniacs?" I asked Samael.
He gave me a sinister smile and then suddenly became serious again, "They are my believers, and I have a duty to protect them." ”
"I hope you take good care of your group of believers. ”
He didn't answer my words, but continued to pat Lucifer's ass: "Lucifer, this time I am completely thinking about you, don't let go of this opportunity, when you become a god in the limelight, don't forget to bring us, it's a pity that a respected god like you is the king of hell." ”
Suddenly, a strange man appeared next to a mutilated stone angel, he looked thin, and only five feet tall, a pair of red eyes sunken deep into his sockets, jagged fangs when he smiled, and his body looked flawed, as if he had lost too much nutrition. "That's exactly what I'm trying to say. The strange man said.
"Beelzebub. Lucifer said, "Why are you here too?"
Beelzebub gave Lucifer a hideous smile and replied, "Your Highness Lucifer, it's a pleasure to meet you, am I ugly, because I haven't been outside for a long time to get some fresh air." ”
"Your Highness Lucifer, I hope you will think about it. Samael said.
"You're bringing me here to tell me this?" Lucifer asked.
"Yes. ”
"Well, I'm very grateful for your kindness, but I'm not sure yet, I'll think about it, and if there's nothing to do, then we'll go first, we still have something to do. ”
"Can I help?"
"You don't have to worry about that. ”
"I have one more request. ”
Say. ”
"If you don't want your friends to be hurt, then I don't want my followers to be hurt either, Baroque and Ralph are both my believers, and I have worked hard to save them. ”
Lucifer pondered for a moment, "Okay then, but if Baroque and Ralph take the initiative to find trouble, I will not show mercy." ”
"I'll train them well, don't worry. He then vanished into a cloud of smoke.
Beelzebub politely bowed to Lucifer, "Goodbye, hero in my heart." He then vanished into a cloud of smoke.
"Lucifer, you know enough people. I said, "But I always feel that they have bad intentions." ”
Lucifer didn't take it seriously, and seemed to know it in his heart, "I don't need you to remind me, I already saw it." ”
"I'm relieved of this, I hope you don't go astray, and I hope you don't disappoint Gabriel. ”
"Thank you!"
