Pu Chi Huiyi stared at the other party's face with a puzzled face, while the middle-aged man at this time gently shook the ice cubes in the glass.

After a crisp sound of ice cubes colliding with the inner wall of the glass, the other party slowly spoke, and there was no change in mood in his tone.

"The old man has always chosen this path."

What do you mean? Pu Chi Huiyi couldn't find clues from these few sentences, but he struggled with the meaning for a long time.

As soon as Takeshi Terasawa chose to make a special trip to find him, he must have explained that there was a reason, and every word he confessed must have a meaning.

Since he couldn't understand this, he didn't plan to ask, just quietly waited for the following.

However, it is in this situation that there is no communication, and the surroundings just fall into the silence that has not been seen for a long time, and it is not so much a chat as a psychological struggle.

Ka Chi Teichi looked around, and only then did he really notice the uniqueness of this izakaya.

From the very first time I stepped into the izakaya, it seemed that all the glitz and glitz had been left outside. The room is elegant and warm, with a faint warmth of light and light.

In RB, izakaya evolved from the home and was already popular as far back as the Edo period. At that time, the husband went out to work, and the wife sold alcohol at home to help the family, and slowly added some simple snacks.

This kind of market tavern, which does not produce a menu and sticks a piece of paper directly on the wall, is the prototype of the izakaya seen today. Nowadays, izakaya is prevalent in RB. In the Ginza area of Tokyo, there are also some exquisite and cozy izakayas. After work, I have a few glasses of sake in the house with three or five confidants, which is very pleasant.

For others, the wine is full, and when it is full, it overflows, but who is the excess melancholy that overflows, and the melancholy of the master is full again, and the recent troubles and unhappiness are all drunk!

In the eyes of others, most of them may be massive, or they may say that drinking is very pleasant, but the bitterness in it is only psychologically weighed by drumming.

The bitterness and drunken embarrassment of the previous life are still vivid.

And now that he is looking at the black tea in the cup, he no longer has the sadness he had at the beginning, and he has too much concern in this world.

"You're really calm." The middle-aged man looked at him with a judge-like gaze and smiled easily.

"There's no such thing as a sinking breath, just figure out what the other person wants, right?"

He replied in this way, and at the same time looked at the other party, and then said seriously: "It can be seen that Senior Terazawa couldn't hold his breath first, which means that you must have wanted something when you came here, and you are more urgent than me." ”

"What do you get? You are wrong, it should be said that an agreement was reached. ”

After feeling that the other party's intentions were clear, Pu Chi Teiichi thought thoughtfully, "Have you reached an agreement with your seniors?" What kind of protocol. ”

Takeichi Terasawa said in a deep voice: "Originally, I wanted to tell you directly, but..."

After a brief silence...

"What do you know about the old man?"

"Do you know the old man's past?"

"Do you know the origin of the fallen angels?"

Such a soul question couldn't help but shock him slightly, for those who draw comics, Greek mythology is really commonplace.

God created the world, and all things should be subservient to God. The angels gather around God in heaven to receive and carry out his will, assist God in governing the world, and sing praises of his merits.

Lucifer was the Seraphim before the throne of God, the most beautiful and noble of the angels, assisting God, praising him, and accompanying him, day after day, year after year. No dissent, no suspicion, no war.

One day, God looked at everything in order and was determined to create a new and unique creature, so he created Adam, the first human being, in his image, and placed him in the Garden of Eden, where he could live freely.

God brought Adam to the temple and named him the "Messiah," and called all the angels and asked them to bow down to him, honor him, and honor him. With a high faith in God, Michael and other angels did what they willed.

Lucifer hesitated.

Angels are no longer free and can no longer lose their dignity and pride.

In the face of Michael's kind admonition, Lucifer politely refused: "I have served God for thousands of years, and I am above Adam in merit; I am Seraphim, second only to God, and above Adam in terms of status; I am a fire of fire, and I am above Adam in terms of birth; I have in my hands the power of the world, and in terms of power, I am above Adam...... Why should I worship Him? ”

In front of Adam, Lucifer categorically refused to bow his head and knees, and the angels behind him also refused to bow down to Adam. Faced with the rebel son of disobedience, God once again gave a will, hoping that Lucifer would obey the command.

In the face of God's might, Lucifer still disobeyed. He couldn't abandon the pride in his heart, he couldn't give up the dignity of an angel, he couldn't stop himself from being jealous of Adam, a child who was favored by God for no reason, and more importantly, he longed to have the right to be independent, he wanted to touch freedom, and he didn't want to see his brothers and sisters kneel in front of a human being.

Once you disobey orders, there is no turning back.

Thousands of years of love for God were in vain, and Lucifer's heart was full of mixed feelings. He finally gave up his faith in God and led his angels to the Nine Heavens, where he raised his head and looked directly at God, drove away the anxiety and fear in his heart, straightened his back, stretched the huge wings behind him, and declared war on God. God ordained the archangel Michael to lead the angelic group to meet the battle, Gabriel sounded the trumpet, and the brothers who were brothers and sisters in the past fought each other with swords and swords.

After all, the angels could not compete with God, and Lucifer was defeated. God created Hell and threw Him and his men from heaven into Hell. Before leaving, he uttered the words that shook the heavens and the earth: "It is better to be king in hell than to be a slave in heaven." ”

From the Nine Heavens to the lowest level of Hell, Lucifer fell for nine mornings and dusks, became the Demon King Satan, and his subordinates became demons.

Such a story is very common, but in these three sentences, it is vaguely said that Osamu Tezuka, and the word "fallen angel" appears as expressed by the narrator.

When he was stunned, a pair of vigorous and powerful hands patted him on the shoulder, "The old man has always been a high-ranking person, but we are the same, we were chess pieces in the past, we are now, and we may be in the future." ”

Pu Chihui breathed for a while, and asked calmly, "What do you want to express?" ”

"The old man was playing a big game of chess, which he started playing ten years ago, when he dismantled the worm production and turned it into several ensembles, which I witnessed with my own eyes. And now the time has come. ”

The middle-aged man stared at him with blazing eyes, while also pointing his pupils with two fingers.

So, let's revisit that. You, what is the meaning of existence? Appeared out of thin air, why did the old man go to Hiratsuka City to find you? ”

An extremely strange smile appeared on Takeichi Terazawa's face, "Things are getting more and more interesting. ”

At this moment, too many questions and distractions suddenly burst into Kamachi Keiichi's mind.
