The priest read word by word from the contents of the black book.

In Revelation 12, the devil sighs and says, "All my enmity, envy, and sorrow are related to you, O O beginning, because it is for your sake that I have been cast down and lost my glory in heaven and among the angels." Because of you, I was cast to the ground. ”

"The Lord made you in His own image, and breathed anger into you. When Michael brought you to worship you before the Lord, he said, "Behold, only the beginning! I made you in our image, according to our likeness." ”

Michael went out and gathered all the angels together and said to them, "Worship in the image of the Lord God, as the Lord God commanded." ”

Michael first bowed to himself, and then said to me, "Come and worship the image of the Lord." ”

I replied, "I don't worship the beginning." But Michael continued to force me to worship, and I said to him, "Why do you force me to worship him? I don't worship anyone who is inferior to myself." God made me first, and then he made him. As for creation, I was before him, and I existed before he was created. He should have come and worshiped me. Michael insisted, "Come and worship the image of the Lord." But if you do not worship him now, the wrath of the Lord will be kindled against you. I said, "If he is angry with me, I will exalt my throne above the stars of heaven as the Most High." ”

"There was a war in heaven, and Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and its angels rose up to fight, but 8 the dragon could not resist it, and there was no place for them in heaven. So the great dragon was thrown down. It is the serpent of old, whose name is the Devil and Satan, who deceiveth all the world. It was thrown to the ground, and its angels were thrown down with it. ”

Father Merkais was too fragmented, and Lee listened genuinely.

This is a mythical story, the story of the origin of the devil recorded in the Book of Lights. Angel once told him about it.

Does it have anything to do with the trouble he's having?

Li Mo understands that people like priests will not waste their words for no reason and have no purpose. So he didn't refute the question, and still listened quietly.

"The inverted five-star light is a sign of Satan the Devil. Father Merkes looked at Limer, his eyes were deep and bright, and people couldn't help but trust him.

But this is not the answer that Li Mo hoped to get.

Li Mo stood up, thought for a while, and said, "Priest, you mean that the devil wants to kill me?"

Father Merkes flashed a strange expression when he heard this, and continued to explain: "The inverted star is a symbol of the devil, but the devil will not use this pattern. This symbol is a man-made symbol for the devil. The role is not to discern the devil, but to discern the sinners who serve the devil. Every time the inverted five stars appear, it means that darkness will return to the earth, and the conspiracy of the cultists is ongoing. Lee, you're cursed. ”

Li Mo frowned and said, "You mean, it was a murder caused by a cultist who serves the devil?

"Perhaps you have offended him, or perhaps you have inadvertently become involved in their conspiracy, and I cannot give you an answer until more information is provided. But don't worry, I'm not going to let them do whatever they want. You go back first, and come back to me tomorrow when there is a new situation. The priest assured.

"Dear priest, is there something you haven't told me?" Li Mo asked suddenly.

"I've told you all about what you should know. The priest closed the black book, turned and put it back on the shelf.

"I've never heard of anything like this happening in Black Mist City. Li Mo said again.

"Maybe it happened a long time ago, but you and I don't know. The priest turned to look at him, his gaze more serious.

Li Mo sneered: "I never believed in gods and devils, it's like-"

"It's like -- you never listen to our teachings. The priest continued, his gaze still as calm as water, devoid of any emotion, as if his soul was long gone.

"I'm just—"

"You just don't see the glory of my Lord, you just don't know that He is omnipresent and inadvertently gives you love and warmth. But don't worry, the Great Lord will not blame you for your ignorance, but will defend you from darkness and evil when you are alone. Because he loves everyone in the world with kindness and forgiveness. ”

Li Mo nodded and stopped talking. He found it foolish to argue with a clergy of faith.

"It is our duty to drive out darkness and evil. Now that I know about it, you don't have to worry. The sins hidden in the darkness must be punished by exposure to the sun. Father Merkais stood up and walked to the door.

This is a hint of the end of the conversation.

"I see. Li Mo stood up and said goodbye to the priest with mixed feelings.

Things that were already vague were now shrouded in a layer of fog.

Father Merkes, what do you know, and what is hidden?

The moment the heavy iron-clad wooden door closed, Li Mo saw a flash of black light in Father Merkes's eyes.

His mind exploded, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, soaking through his clothes.

Delusion?

I guess it's an illusion.

Li Mo forced himself to think so, because he didn't dare to think in the other direction.

Life is made up of countless choices, and even a small choice can make a difference in your life. There are countless choices in life, which means that everyone's life can have infinite possibilities, but everyone can only experience one of these infinite possibilities, which is fate!

Much later, when Li Mo thought about it again, he would have wondered if everything would have been different if he hadn't come to the priest.

The answer is no.

Many things are predestined before they happen.

This is fate.

Words such as devil, cultist, and inverted five-star mangs kept coming to Li Mo's mind, and the black images flashing in Father Merkes's eyes kept flashing, and he was in no mood to stay in the church anymore. After calling Angel, he left in a hurry.

Before saying goodbye, Angel asked Li Mo if he was sick, Li Mo shook his head and said no, he was tired from a night of work.

"Qi, take care of yourself. Angel stopped talking, and finally sighed and said.

In the past, Li Mo would definitely say "you also take care", but inexplicably falling into the strange incident of the devil's curse, he was touched, nodded heavily, and said, "I work hard." ”

Back at the hotel, I don't know which warrior regained his strength and challenged Aunt Cui Di, the tyrannosaurus. In every corner of the hotel, you can clearly hear her ** shouts like a charge.

Li Mo lay quietly on the wooden bed, staring at the yellowed and blackened roof, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Because he realizes one thing.

If he died, he wouldn't be able to see Angel.

That's why he doesn't want to die, doesn't want to die, and is afraid of dying.

He was going to live forever with Angel.

His eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and for the first time in his life, he decided to rebel against the shackles imposed on him by fate, rather than cope with life like a scoundrel.

He still has to go to work at night, Li Mo no longer thinks nonsense, sleeps hard, and replenishes his energy.

As soon as you wake up, look in the mirror as soon as possible. In the mirror, there was still a gloomy face with dark pupils

However, Li Mo had developed a certain immunity, and when he saw this face again, he was not afraid. I also grimaced with interest, except for those emotionless eyes, the rest of my face could change with my control.

If it weren't for the devil's curse that the priest said, it would be pretty cool.

Li Mo laughed at himself, pushed the door and left.

At half past seven in the evening, I arrived at the factory on time and completed the night's work.

When I go to work, the 12-hour working time seems to be as long as 24 hours, but when I walk out of the factory early in the morning, I can't remember anything that night, just like a night's work, leaving people with only a simple string of text messages.

As for countless days in the past, Li Mo went straight to St. Mary's Church. Today, however, he was going to find an opportunity to talk to Father Merkes again and try to learn more about the devil's curse.

He was sure that the priest must have been withholding some information from him.

He was reluctant to wait for the curse to strike or be saved by Father Merkes.

Positive self-help actions must be taken.

But when Li Mo arrived at St. Mary's Church and saw that the door of the church that was always open to the residents of Black Mist City was tightly closed, his heart sank, and an indescribable coldness appeared in his heart.

Something happened.

It must be, otherwise the church doors wouldn't be closed.

I hope Angel is well.

He tapped on the door of the church, but when no one opened, he walked in through a small door on the left side of the church, which was empty, and I went up to the second floor and saw Angel crying on a man's shoulder.

This man had a well-proportioned figure, slightly dark skin, and a fairly handsome appearance, with thick black curly hair like a fluffy hat, and his beard was also curled and curled, these familiar marks made Li Mo immediately recognize him.

It was Father Merkes' assistant, Modi.

Modi suddenly appeared in the church one day six years ago. No one knows about his past, but he is well integrated into the life of the church, he is polite, conscientious, and familiar with the teachings of the God of Light.

If that's all there is, Li Mo and he might be able to become friends. But for some reason, Modi often made some intimate gestures with Angel in front of Li Mo, and then looked at me with a smug and mocking gaze.

Everyone in the church area knows about Li Mo's love for Angel.

Modi's provocative demeanor initially puzzled him, then angered.

Li Mocai deliberately provoked Modi for whatever reason, and he insisted on prohibiting anyone from having intimate actions with Angel.

This is how the beam of Li Mo and Modi came to an end. The year before last, I had a fight with him.

At this time, his arm bent, wrapped his arms around Angel's back, and stroked gently.

When he noticed Li Mo, his head turned slightly, and a smug and mocking look flashed in his eyes.

This bastard.

Knowing that he did it on purpose, Li Mo still felt a raging anger rise in his heart, stepped forward quickly, pulled Angel away, and pushed Modi on the shoulder.

"Lee, what are you doing?" Angel turned her head in surprise, just in time to see Li Mo pushing Modi away. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she stared at Li Mo with tears in her eyes, her face sad and sad.

"This bastard is not honest. Li Mo, as usual, stared at Modi and said viciously, then turned his face and waited for Angel's scolding and education.

"Lee, I always thought that you were the one who cared about Angel the most in this city, but I was wrong, you didn't really care about him at all, you just treated him as your personal property. Modi coughed lightly and said loudly.

Li Mo was furious in his heart: Despicable guy, you didn't deliberately provoke me to be angry just now, what kind of good person is pretending to be at this time.

As soon as Angel was involved, his calmness and composure disappeared without a trace.

"Last night, Father Merkes passed away, you know? Do you know how sad Angel is? You don't know, because you never cared about her feelings, and you were still thinking about being jealous. Modi hated the expression of iron and steel at this time, and it was a waste not to act.

Li Mo's body shook, and he hurriedly held on to the wall to prevent him from losing his center of gravity and falling.

He didn't argue with Modi angrily as usual, and he didn't even catch up with Angel in time when he ran away from him.

One line kept coming to mind: Father Merkais is dead.

Yesterday, the priest calmly said that he would remove the curse of the devil. As if dealing with cultists in the dark was a breeze.

How did you die today.

Li Mo stared at Modi in shock, and said in a lost voice: "Really dead?"

Modi snorted angrily, didn't answer, and chased after Angel.
