Sign a contract with the devil

嘉波

The weather was increasingly unpredictable, and the sun had just emerged from the clouds in the morning when the clouds gathered and blocked the sun.The black cloud did not dissipate for a while, the sky sank, and the wind blew again.The Magnolia magnolia in front of the door, its whirling trunk and huge crown were covered with a layer of dark gray, the leaves were rustling and trembling, and the flowers fell to the ground.The dead leaves on the ground were blown up into the air by the wind, the clouds were getting lower and lower, and the sky was dark and unclear. Suddenly, a few bolts of lightning flashed across the sky, and then a thunderclap was heard, and the rain started to fall, and the raindrops fell. Splashed water on the ground.

Michael had already arrived at the door, so he had to go back to get an umbrella. Although the weather was so bad, Michael had to go out.Gabriel went out before dawn, and he left a note on the coffee table. Michael also followed his example and left a note for him on the coffee table before going out.Although Michael took an umbrella, the wind was too strong, and the wind blew the rain into Michael's clothes, and soon the hem of the windbreaker was soaked.Michael couldn't control it anymore, he walked out of the community, took a taxi on the side of the street, and said his destination this time - Stone Cafe.

Stone Cafe is opened in the city center, diagonally opposite Westminster Abbey. It is a temporary log cabin built of wood. There are three round tables in the wooden cabin, and paintings made by guests who come here are hung on the wall. .Michael got off the car at the entrance of the Stone Cafe. There were not many customers in the cafe today. Michael went in and ordered a cup of coffee, and sat there waiting for someone.The cup of coffee has run out, and the person he is waiting for has not come yet.Michael thought, did something happen to him on the way?Traffic jams, or other accidents, it is better to be traffic jams, but Michael thought of something more terrible. Two cars collided with each other, and the people in the car were carried onto stretchers by the nurses in the ambulance.Maybe he should make a phone call, Michael thought, but didn't move.Because Michael didn't have that person's phone number, Gabriel was the one to contact. Gabriel only told Michael to wait for him here, but he didn't tell Michael how to contact that person.

Michael had no choice but to order another cup of coffee. At this time, the door was opened from the outside, and a man in a khaki military uniform walked in. He seemed to have rushed in, with rain on his shoulders, holding a bag in his hand. A folding umbrella, but it doesn't look like it's doing much good.The wind was so strong today that the rain was blown into the umbrella.The man walked straight towards Michael, and Michael also noticed him, and he sat down opposite Michael, smiling very embarrassedly.

He grinned and made a gesture to Michael. His face was like a pancake, his nose collapsed, his body was very strong, and his big hands were very rough. At first glance, he looked bullish. His eyes are very gentle.He puts the umbrella on the table which immediately gets wet with a puddle of water, the man calls the waiter and orders a coffee, he looks like a regular at the Stone Cafe as he hasn't named the coffee yet, The waiter knew exactly what coffee he wanted.

He is indeed a frequent visitor to this place. He usually drinks coffee and reads a book silently in a corner. He knows everyone here very well.When the coffee came, he took a big sip to warm up his whole body, then he took the things out of his pocket and put them on the table.It was a glass bottle, and there was a cloud of gray mist in the bottle, which looked like a silhouette.Seeing the glass bottle, Michael's face became serious. This is what he was looking for.

"My name is Sam," the man said. "This glass bottle was found in a ruin in Iran during a mission. The priest said that there was a demon sealed in the bottle, and it seemed to have something to do with King Solomon. Save the bottle. Gabriel told me you were interested in this bottle, so he asked you to meet me."

"My name is Michael, and this bottle is exactly what I have been looking for for a long time, so I just said, can you give me the bottle?" Michael said, "Gabriel told me, you really want to Give the bottle to someone else."

"Yes," said Sam, "I've been having a dream lately in which a man says he can grant my wish if I open the bottle. I often wake up not in bed but Where I put the bottle. And no matter where I put the bottle, I will wake up next to it. The voice of that man seems to have some kind of mysterious power. He seems to be able to grant my wish for me. The more I I want to open this bottle more and more. He can also say what I want most in my heart, and use that thing to tempt me to open the bottle. Except for God, who can do all this must be a devil. I am a firm believer. I can't compromise with the devil, but he is too seductive. I have an eternal regret in my heart. He actually knew and told me that he can resurrect the dead. I realized the danger of this bottle and contacted Jia Bailie, he said that you have a way to deal with this bottle, I believe in Gabriel, so I also believe in you. I can give you the bottle, but this bottle is a very dangerous thing, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it." Michael said.

When Sam handed the bottle to Michael, he suddenly asked, "Can this bottle really revive the dead?"

"Of course not," Michael replied, "The souls of dead people will all enter the tree of life and then be reincarnated in the tree of life. Even demons cannot have the power to resurrect the dead."

"My kid, when he was three, he hid in the back of my car and I didn't notice at the time, and I hit him when I backed up. He just left me, and I've never forgiven myself." Sam With remorse buried in his eyes and pain gleaming at the same time, he put his face in his hands and rubbed his dark, wrinkled forehead with ten fingers. "My wife has divorced me for two years. In the past two years, I have been avoiding everything that happened, and I dare not recall everything that happened. When the devil said that he could fulfill my wish, my heart began to shake. If all that It didn’t happen, it would be great if everything could go back to how it was before.”

Michael didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only watch him silently and be a good listener.After Sam said all this, he pushed the bottle in front of Michael as if relieved.Michael knew that he was tempted by the devil's words, and the struggle in his eyes was seen by Michael.Perhaps for a moment, Sam thought about opening the bottle.

Sam leaned back on the chair, as if caught in a memory long ago, with painful self-blame on his face, he lowered his voice, "Take this bottle away, it's the devil's bottle, the devil is tempting me Let him out."

Michael put the bottle in his pocket, and Sam seemed relieved. He was only 30 years old, but he looked like an old man in his forties.The disaster had tortured him, making him look much older than he should have been.Sam's cup was almost empty, and instead of refilling it, he paid for it.Not only did he pay his own, but Michael's as well.After paying the money, Sam said goodbye to Michael, and he was going back to work.

Michael returned to the house where Lucifer was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and he put the bottle in front of Lucifer.Lucifer took a look and said, "Long time no see, Jiabo." The gray mist condensed into the shape of a man, and bowed to Lucifer in the bottle to salute. Lucifer threw the bottle into the air and fell into Micah Le arms.

"This is Jiabo?" Michael asked.

"It's him." Lucifer replied, "He is the No. 72 demon god among the 30 demon gods. He can change people's preferences and control people's emotions. As long as a person is in front of him, he can know this. People's past and future, he often uses this ability to trick people into signing contracts with him, he is an old liar."

When Lucifer left, he was as quiet as when he came. Instead of taking Michael to take the bus, he spread his wings and flew into the sky. The wind howled in Michael's ears, and Michael could barely open his eyes. , he didn't see when they flew to the shore of the Red Sea, and there was a boatman waiting at the ferry.

Lucifer boarded the boat, but the boatman didn't salute.This boatman has been rowing here for an unknown amount of time. Since the separation of the three worlds, God ordered him to wait here for those who will go from the Red Sea to hell. He has lived for an unknown amount of time, longer than Lucifer, so He did not salute the king of hell.

Michael sat beside Lucifer, and did not look at Ye Mei in the water again.The boatman said while rowing, "I brought everything you asked me to bring last time."

Lucifer nodded, indicating that he heard it.

When the boat reached the shore, Lucifer and Michael got off the boat. Lucifer carried Michael directly and flew to the place where the 72 demon pillars were. They quickly found Jiabo's pillar.The glass bottle flew into the air and opened itself, and a cloud of gray mist flew out of it, and the gray mist gradually took the shape of a man, his facial features could not be seen clearly, but his hands and feet could be seen clearly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Lucifer and Lord Michael, for sending me back to the Demon God's Pillar." His voice seemed to have some kind of seductive power, ambiguous and hoarse, making the ears of those who listened feel hot.

He bowed down to Lucifer again and made a big salute, and then turned into gray mist and returned to the 72 demon pillars.After Jiabo entered the pillar, a white light flashed on the pillar, and then two words: Jiabo.The shape of a man emerged from the body of the column. Although the facial features of this man were blurred, his hands and feet were very clear.

Lucifer and Michael returned the same way, and it was still raining when they returned, but Lucifer's wings were not wet.Michael opened the door, and Gabriel came back. Seeing Lucifer and Michael enter the door together, his heart ached.He watched Michael's dress float briskly towards Lucifer in the smoky evening, with an ugly smile on his face.
