Sign a contract with the devil

Barbatos

One afternoon, after Michael came from outside, he didn't open the door to come in as usual, but just parked the car outside the door and kept honking the horn.So Lucifer opened the door and walked out. He was still wearing a white apron, and he had obviously just come out of the kitchen.

Lucifer stood at the door and asked, "Why don't you come in?"

"The pastor Joseph who lived with me since childhood is coming to see me today, would you like to pick me up at the airport with me?" Michael asked, and he had already opened the car door.

"Going," Lucifer quickly replied, "Wait for me to change."

"Hurry up, his six o'clock plane is almost here." Michael called again.

"Don't worry, I'll just change clothes." Lucifer urged Michael, took off his apron and put it on the stool at the door, and went out. There were traces of flour on his clothes. Lucifer used it in the car. Wiped with a wet handkerchief.Michael drove very fast, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, he speeded up and arrived at the airport the moment the plane landed.

Pastor Joseph is Michael's great benefactor. He adopted Michael when he was young and gave him a happy childhood.It was Pastor Joseph who taught Michael how to cook, play ball and drive. Pastor Joseph treated Michael like his own child. He has a gentle personality and is always willing to help those in need.Pastor Joseph is a special person in Michael's heart. He not only raised him like a parent, but also taught him how to be a useful person like a teacher.

The airport was empty, and the few people who got off the plane had already left.

Pastor Joseph came out of the airport hall with his suitcase, and saw Michael and Lucifer waiting at the door.When he saw Lucifer, he couldn't hide his surprise, and he said, "It's you, the angel who handed Michael over to me."

It turned out that it was not an accident that Pastor Joseph adopted Michael. One day more than [-] years ago, he was returning to his apartment after praying, when a man with black hair and black eyes suddenly appeared, holding a child in his arms. baby, and called the baby Michael.That person was Lucifer. He put Michael into the arms of Pastor Joseph, and told him that the baby was the messenger of God who could save mankind in the future, and asked him to treat the child well and raise it up.

"Long time no see, Joseph." Lucifer said.

Michael was listening in a daze. He didn't expect that he was sent to the human world by Lucifer, and he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.Pastor Joseph was also very surprised. More than twenty years ago, he regarded this man as an angel sent by God to guide him. Today, more than ten years later, I can still see this angel at the airport.

"I didn't expect to see you again, Lord Angel." Pastor Yoshev said with emotion.

"You misunderstood, I am no longer an angel." Lucifer said, he did not further explain, Pastor Yoshef only thought that he did not want to reveal his identity in front of mortals.

"Okay, let's go!" Michael put Pastor Joseph's luggage into the trunk. "We can talk about the old days when we get to the place. Let's get in the car first."

"Okay, okay." Pastor Joseph whispered in the car, but in the presence of the angel he had seen, he felt uneasy and uncomfortable when he heard his own voice.

The car drove into a community. The houses in this community were all white bungalows, neatly arranged in a row on both sides of the road, and the left and right looked exactly the same.Spring has just passed, and summer has just arrived. There is a continuous drizzle in the sky. In the flower bed in front of the building, the flowers are still blooming. There are bright yellow jasmine flowers, pink and white apricot flowers, delicate peach blossoms, and there are still flowers in the vegetable garden at the door. The small purple flowers of peas bloomed, and the crabapple flowers that Gabriel cared for were blooming on the windowsill upstairs.

Michael parked the car at the door and helped Pastor Joseph carry the luggage to the house.The room is not too big or too small, as soon as you enter it is the living room, the sofa is covered with white cloth, the floor is covered with soft wool pads, the shoe cabinet at the entrance is a cabinet embedded in the wall, and some photos are displayed on it: one photo A single photo of Michael, he is wearing black boots, a camouflage military jacket, khaki earth-colored trousers, and a crocodile with its mouth firmly tied at his feet. That is Michael in the United States An alligator caught in a wild swamp in southern Louisiana.There is a picture of Gabriel and Michael together at the wedding of one of Gabriel's friends in the church, both wearing black suits and smiling.There is another photo of Gabriel standing on a desert rock, looking tired and stern, without a smile on his face.

"Don't bother, please sit down," Michael said.He asked Pastor Joseph to sit down on the sofa, and went to the kitchen to make him a cup of tea. When he came out with the tea, Pastor Joseph stood up from the sofa to pick up the tray.

Pastor Joseph looked around and looked at the room. He couldn't help but touch Michael's bookshelf in the living room, and he didn't look at Michael, admiring him.I took a classic off the shelf with one hand, flipped through a few pages, and was fascinated by the contents inside.This book is exactly the classic that Pastor Joseph has been looking for for a long time.

"Michael, I am amazed by your collection. You even have this book."

"Gabriel gave it to me." Michael smiled, "You can take it to your room to see."

"Is it okay?"

"fine."

Pastor Joseph took the book and sat back on the sofa. Michael was used to his obsession with books.When Michael was young, Pastor Joseph often missed dinner because he was reading a book. He was sitting at the dining table, holding a book in his hand, and his eyes were almost glued to the book.No matter how Michael called him, Pastor Joseph did not respond, and he had already entered the world of books.

Pastor Joseph stood up holding the book, reciting softly, and paced back and forth in front of the sofa.The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops made a pattering sound on the awning, but this did not bother Pastor Joseph, he was too focused, Lucifer walked towards him, and the two were about to meet , he has not noticed who is in front of him.

Lucifer stopped, smiled and said, "You are so attentive."

"Oh, Lord Angel..." Pastor Joseph suddenly saw this perfect face, and was so nervous that he couldn't speak.In his eyes, Lucifer is the angel who sent Michael to him, and the messenger sent by heaven to guide him.

"Reading?" Lucifer looked at Pastor Joseph mysteriously. He is a very honest person, which is why Lucifer entrusted Michael to him. "What book are you reading?"

"It's an ancient book that records an angel Raziel who was favored by God," Pastor Joseph smiled slightly. "It records several wars that were triggered by the "Book of Angel Raziel."

"Raziel?" Lucifer took the book in Pastor Joseph's hand and looked at it. As Pastor Joseph said, there were several fights caused by the "Book of Angel Raziel" written on it, and it was between angels. war.Raziel is the mysterious and supreme mysterious angel. He existed before the birth of Lucifer. Lucifer had heard his name when he was the deputy king in the sky, but he had never seen this mysterious angel. It is said that even the gods fear his wisdom.

"You know him?" Pastor Joseph's eyes lit up.

"No, he is an angel that existed before me, and no one has seen him except God."

"This angel is really mysterious." Pastor Joseph said with emotion.

Michael prepared three dishes, heated them gently, covered the dining table with a white tablecloth, arranged a candlestick on the table, and placed a vase in the center of the dining table, in which there were colorful butterfly flowers. Very beautiful.The meal was a joy for both the host and the guests, and the dishes were all delicious. Pastor Joseph said that Michael's cooking skills were much better than before, and it was a world-shaking change.Of course it's not as exaggerated as he said, but Michael's craftsmanship is indeed much better than before.

After sending Pastor Joseph upstairs to rest in the guest room, Michael put on a white apron and vigorously washed the dishes. Lucifer hugged him behind his back and asked, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

While washing the dishes, Michael replied, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"I made an agreement with God at that time. If I can do as he arranged, he will allow me to make a contract with you. He put your memory in four places, and I will lose your memory and turn you into a baby. I sent it to Joseph. Joseph is a loyal believer, and he thought I was an angel sent by God to give him a mission."

"That's it?" Michael smiled slightly, "You are not someone who is willing to obey God's arrangement so easily. I know you are hiding something from me, but it is enough for you to tell me this."

Lucifer picked up Michael and splashed soapy water all over them. Lucifer said, "When the right time comes, I will tell you everything."

Michael patted his head: "Okay, it's settled!"

In the yard, there was an old locust tree blooming with bunches of white flowers, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers floating in the wind. Pastor Joseph walked back and forth under the tree, holding the classic in his hand and reciting softly.Michael wanted to drive Pastor Joseph around the city, but he refused. He just wanted to finish the book in a few days.

There is a movie theater in the community here. After dinner, Pastor Joseph, Michael and Lucifer walked slowly along the tree-lined path and walked there.Pastor Joseph suggested that they go to a movie and then go back, Michael readily agreed.So they went to the cinema to watch a good movie.

When Pastor Joseph left, he was very sad.He hasn't had a good time with Michael, nor has he finished reading the classic that he has been thinking about.He boarded the plane back to Israel with regret.
