Sign a contract with the devil

Antarctica, embraced by snow

One Sunday Gabriel didn't go out to ask for news, so he called Michael to come closer.

"I found out that there might be your memory in an ice cave in Antarctica," Gabriel said. "Look, we have to pass through this sea area from Greece to Antarctica, and then go straight to Antarctica. The weather changes all the way. You need to bring more clothes." Gabriel laid out the map in front of Michael, and pointed him to the route, which had been marked with a red mark.

Gabriel drove out that afternoon and took Michael to buy daily necessities for the boat, especially oil, salt, rice and fresh water.Belial also came to help, and he was responsible for moving the purchased items to the boat one by one.There are also winter clothes. Although it is summer now, it must be very cold in Antarctica, so thick cotton coats are of course essential.

"Let's go! To the South Pole!" Judas called from the boat.

"Hurry up and start the engine, hurry up, I can't wait." Sophie jumped up, and while looking at the map, she couldn't wait to start the engine in the cabin.

The boat was floating on the sea, surrounded by the sound of the wind except for the sea. Michael sat at the stern and looked at the white clouds in the sky. The endless blue water surrounded them. .Belial set up a deck chair on the deck and was sleeping in the sun.

When Gabriel came out of the cabin, he saw Belial sleeping on the recliner with a magazine on his face.He walked over and opened the book, Beryl closed his eyes, turned around frowning, and continued to sleep on his side.Gabriel draped the magazine over his face again and went to the stern to sit next to Michael.

"Beylier still likes to sleep as before. I remember that he was guarding under the Tree of Life at that time, and he often went to sleep on the tree. You found him every time, and you yelled at him several times for this. said Michael, his hands resting on the railing of the boat, the sea wind blowing the hem of his clothes.

"I'm his guiding angel, and he's the most sleepy angel I've ever met," Gabriel said.

"You are still the same as before, you like places with water. I am not surprised that you bought a boat, but why did you come to the human world to help me? Gabriel, you not only lost your status as an angel, when After you die, your soul will belong to Belial, you gave up everything to help me, this feeling is too heavy."

"I don't want you to pay it back, as long as you remember. Michael, it is my own choice for me to help you. I came here and became a human being, but I have never regretted it. On the contrary, I am very glad that I came. I protected you."

"I don't deserve you to do this. I owe you a huge debt. I will find a way to help you become an angel again. Please don't reject me, otherwise my heart will not be at peace for a moment."

"Okay, I promise you." Gabriel said almost angrily.

After several months of wandering at sea, he finally arrived at the South Pole.Michael raised his eyes and saw that the ground was covered with endless snow and ice. The sky was a vast expanse of white, and the ground was also a vast expanse of white. White was the main color here, and it was so monotonous that there were almost no other colors.To prevent snow blindness, they put on goggles.Gabriel anchored the boat on the shore, and they disembarked in non-slip boots, while Judah and Sophie waited on board for their return.

It is impossible to distinguish the left and right directions here, and Gabriel took a compass and a map to determine the location of the ice cave.Gabriel led the way, Belial followed him drowsily, and Michael walked beside Belial.At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was still daylight, but Gabriel did not intend to continue on his way.They stopped and pitched a tent where they were going to rest tonight.Michael took out food from his backpack and distributed it to Gabriel.They ate their meals in the tent, and Gabriel kept watch for the first half of the night, while Michael kept watch for the second half of the night.In the misty ice and snow, there was only the whistling of the wind, a sense of loneliness rose in Gabriel's heart, and Michael fell asleep in the tent, but his own mind could not express to him at all, his heart was still wandering.

Michael was lying in the tent, as if he had just fallen asleep for a while, his heart was beating suddenly, he opened his eyes and got up from the ground, opened the tent, and outside was the white sky, the bright sun shining on the white snow The brightness on the screen makes it hard to keep your eyes open.Gabriel had already fallen asleep leaning against Belial, and Belial saw him come out and made a hissing gesture.He helped Belial carry Gabriel into the tent, added more coals to the fire, and sat outside the tent to start the night watch.

The snow is the same snow, the sky is the same sky, and the howling wind is the same wind. At the end of this world, in this primitive place where there is only ice and snow, it seems that there is a force calling for him to come. Familiar and intimate power, as familiar as a part of his body.Michael couldn't help standing up, and walked forward following the trail of that power. In this vast world, only the call that shook his heart guided him.He walked farther and farther, and the tent could hardly be seen, but Michael still walked forward, leaving a string of footprints in the snow and soon covered by the wind and snow.

Michael didn't know how long he had been walking, and he didn't know whether Gabriel and the others had noticed that he was missing. The only thing left in his mind was the voice guiding him to move forward in the snow.The voice brought him into a cave. There are ice walls everywhere in the cave. There are murals of angels praying on the ice walls. The murals emit a faint white light. The white light quickly converges into a ball of light, and then disperses into spots to the mural.Michael touched the ball of light with his finger, and the ball of light immediately melted into his fingertips, and the mural also moved and turned into a spot of light to move closer to Michael.Soon the light spots were absorbed into Michael's body, and he suddenly heard the singing of angels, as if there were countless angels singing hymns around him, and his body became hotter and hotter.

As soon as Gabriel woke up, he found that Michael had disappeared. He searched around the tent but could not find Michael.Belial sensed an unusual force nearby, and Gabriel immediately went to that place. Belial spread his wings and carried him forward in the wind and snow. There was snow all around, and Gabriel's vision was slowly blurred. Bai Xue was confused, and the only thing in his mind was finding Michael.

Gabriel yelled: "Michael, Michael." His eyes were blank, and his heart gradually sank. Belial flew with him for an unknown amount of time, and a row of footprints appeared on the snow in front of him.Gabriel immediately let Belial fly down. As soon as he landed, he broke free from Belial's arms and followed the string of footprints. At the end of the footprints, he met two men who worked in Antarctica. They had never seen Mi Caleb, they just work around.

"Michael, Michael, an angel has come." Raphael said while sitting on the branch of the tree of life.

"Who is that? This light is like the light of a god's car passing by." Michael said, looking at the light not far away.As far as they could see, an angel shone with dazzling light, surrounded by six-winged seraphs, and two hundred angels were singing hymns behind him.

"Lucifer, His Royal Highness the Archangel Lucifer." Raphael replied, "Today is a pilgrimage day, and he led the angels to offer hymns to God. This is a rare event in a hundred years, but unfortunately we only You can stay by the tree of life, but you can't participate in this rare event."

"It turned out to be the morning star, no wonder the light is comparable to that of God," Michael said.

The incomparably white six wings emitted a beautiful radiance, which was comparable to the radiance of the God's car.Archangel Lucifer held a golden harp in his hand, and he played it with a melodious and melodious sound, leading two hundred angels to sing a hymn dedicated to God. drunk.

"Michael, Michael..." someone called his name.

Gabriel and Belial flew in the snow for a whole day before they found the ice cave.When they entered the cave, Michael was sleeping on the ground surrounded by golden light spots.Gabriel hugged Michael in his arms and called his name. After shouting for a long time, Michael did not wake up.Belial carried Michael on his back, picked up Gabriel, spread his wings and flew back to the place where they pitched the tent.

When Michael woke up, he saw Gabriel guarding the door of the tent. His face was a little pale from the cold. He kept guarding him regardless of day or night. Even if Beryl wanted to replace him and let him sleep for a while, he would disagree.Michael felt a little guilty, he pushed away the blanket on his body, trying to hug Gabriel under the quilt.But as soon as he moved, Gabriel woke up, looking at Michael with a pair of eyes, and seemed to have a thousand words.Michael wanted to apologize, but seeing his eyes, all the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

"Are you awake?" Gabriel spoke first.

Michael nodded. "I'm sorry, it was my fault." Michael said, his heart full of apology, especially when he learned how urgent Gabriel was looking for him.He shouldn't have run away alone without leaving a word, and Gabriel didn't even know where to look for him.

"Yesterday you were attracted to that place by your memory, it's not your fault." Gabriel said, "I haven't slept all day, I'm going to sleep first. There is food outside, it's hot, you go Let's eat."

Gabriel went in and lay under the quilt, and when Michael came out of the tent, he saw the food roasting on the fire, and Beryl was using an iron pot to boil hot water, which had already boiled.Michael thanked Beryl, and Beryl glanced at him lazily, used magic to make the kettle fly by itself, and poured a cup of hot water for Michael into the cup.

Belial got up to walk into the tent, and suddenly said to Michael, "Can I ask for something?"

Michael was very surprised, because Beryl seldom talked to himself, let alone asked himself anything. "Of course, Belial, you are my friend." Michael said, he said it very sincerely.

"Please don't do anything to worry Gabriel in the future, can you?" Beryl said, his expression was indifferent, and he lifted the cloth at the tent door and entered.
