Sign a contract with the devil

Vasak

On the small lake behind the church, a semicircular moon hangs high in the night sky, and the moon's shadow is reflected on the water.The holly, Euonymus, ginkgo, black walnut along the coast, a mottled tree shadow, the cluster of mulberry trees on the small island in the middle of the lake, entangled with the tall pines and cypresses under the lights of the street lamps, hanging down in the quiet lake water A long, blue shadow.

Gabriel was sitting on a bench by the lake. He was wearing beige trousers and a white short-sleeved shirt, with an ancient book open on his lap.But he stared at the lake so intently, motionless for a long time, like a marble statue placed in the bushes.Belial leaned on his shoulder, yawning lazily, occasionally looking up at his face intently.

Gabriel couldn't concentrate on the book. Other voices kept echoing in his ears. It was after the crabapple flowers moved to Michael's window sill, and Lucifer called him into the study: " Gabriel, I know what you’re thinking, but Michael only has me in his heart, I advise you to give up, it’s just futile. If you go on like this, you’re adding trouble to me, and you’re also adding trouble to yourself At that time, Gabriel immediately replied solemnly: "Lucifer, I also have the right to live and love! I am also the same as you. My feelings do not need to be less than yours, nor do you need to be low. You think, because I am cowardly, should I give up my feelings? As long as I am alive, I will not give up."

The pages of the book did not turn for a long time, he was thinking about Michael, he was so humble when facing Michael, he seemed to hear himself arguing with Lucifer: "I have as many souls as you, we are equal Yes! You can't stop my love, even I can't stop it, because I'm no less loyal to my feelings than you are."

A moth landed on the book, and he seemed to be startled, and a shoulder twitch woke Belial.Beryl rubbed his eyes and asked sleepily, "Are you going back? I'm so sleepy."

"I still want to stay here for a while. If you are sleepy, you can go back first." Gabriel stood up and walked towards the lake.A boat was moored on the shore, and Gabriel got into the boat, followed by Beryl.

"Gabriel, you have encountered a little trouble, haven't you?" Beryl asked softly.

"Belil!" Gabriel said, "Stop talking."

"Why?" Beryl said calmly, "It must be related to Michael, but I don't want to see you like this. You have always been a strong person. When you are in heaven, no matter what you encounter You will face all kinds of difficulties bravely. You are an angel of water, but you are tougher than any angel. You cried, Gabriel, I saw it."

"Stop talking, Belial." Gabriel's heart was weaker than he imagined, "You don't understand how I feel, no one can understand how uncomfortable I am, my feelings for Michael, is The simplest and simplest, I never thought of asking for anything in return, but I am also flesh and blood, and I will also be sad because of jealousy."

"I understand, I...no one understands your feelings better than me," Beryl seemed to ignite a flame in his chest, and a hazy light enveloped him. Something touched his heart, He couldn't help blurting out: "I love you, Gabriel, please accept all my feelings, together with my whole soul."

"Belil? Beryl..." Gabriel was shocked. He had never seen such a serious Belial. He was still worrying about Michael. He couldn't respond to this emotion. What should he do? What about Beryl?When Beryl's love touched his heart, he felt confused, "Beryl, I can't respond to you because..."

"Please don't reject me, and I never thought of asking you to respond to my feelings," Beryl said, "My heart has only slowly understood its own mind after a long journey. When I think of you, There is a warm current flowing from my heart, from my whole body, you are my love, although I suddenly announced my love for you, but this love has occupied my whole heart long before you know it , I poured all my heart and blood into this love, all my enthusiasm and desires were born because of you, when I was an angel, when I was still in heaven, I had longed for you and yearned for you."

"Belil..." Gabriel softly called his name, but didn't know what to say.

"It was fate that made me meet you." Belial smiled sweetly. Once the secret in his heart was revealed and the veil was lifted, he suddenly felt calm, as if something heavy had been released from his heart. down. "Please allow me to get along with you like this in the future. Nothing has changed between us."

"Of course, you are still the Belial I know." Gabriel said, he gently hugged Belial, he has always regarded Belial as his younger brother, it was like this in the past, it is like this now, and in the future It will be the same.

Belial gave love but didn't get anything back, but he is so easy to satisfy, as long as he can still hear Gabriel's voice, as long as he can see Gabriel's smile, as long as he can be with Gabriel By his side, he doesn't expect anything extravagantly.Although he regrets, his eyes are full of hope and pursuit. His love is pure and selfless.

In the morning, he came.

A carriage stopped in front of the house at No. [-], Tiantang Road. He got out of the carriage, stood for a while, looked around, and looked at the house number several times.He went up and rang the doorbell.

He was wearing a retro suit, a black top hat, and a black cloak. His appearance was so weird among a group of people.His tall stature makes him appear burly, with fair and delicate complexion, an oval face, a moderately wide forehead, and a rounded chin.A pair of gentle eyes, a slightly high and straight nose bridge, thin lips tightly closed, straight long hair curled naturally behind the ears.He groped on the wall, finally found the little red dot, and he pressed it without hesitation.

It was Gabriel who opened the door. As he walked, he asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me." A gentle male voice.

As soon as the door opened, a stranger entered, whom Gabriel had never seen before.

"who are you?"

"I am Vasago, please let me meet Lord Belial. You are his contractor, Lord Gabriel." Although the person in front of him was blind, he seemed to be able to see.His attitude is gentle and polite, which makes people feel good.He walked in with his hands touching the wall, Gabriel reached out to help him, but he refused.

Beryl was in the restaurant. When he heard this, he dropped the egg in his hand and walked out of the restaurant. He looked at the person in surprise and said, "Vasago? You came to find me?"

"Yes, Lord Belial." Vasago forced a smile, and said, "I am ordered by His Majesty Lucifer and obey God's command, but I heard outside that you and Lord Lucifer are going to reset us Seal, so I came to the door. I came to you under the order of Lord Barr, and Lord Barr hopes to have an interview with you."

"I don't know what Lucifer is thinking," Beryl said. "I have never been able to figure out his thoughts. I don't want to guess his thoughts. He should have his own thoughts."

"Master Belial, you should know the World Tree." Vasago said, "The tree of life that supports the entire world, its crown is in the heaven, its trunk is in the world, and its root is in the hell. The destination of the soul is also the place where the soul is created. If something happens to it, the whole world will collapse. The reason why the gods let us make trouble in the world is to seal the impure soul in the 72 demon pillars. Slow down the withering of the tree of life."

"I'm not interested in everything you said," Beryl said languidly, "What kind of plans are up to Lucifer and the gods? That's their business and has nothing to do with me."

"Lord Belial, if the tree of life withers, disasters will happen even in hell. The tree of life is the cornerstone of the world created by God. If it withers, the three realms will no longer exist, and the world will return to chaos .”

"God will not sit idly by." Beryl said coldly.

"What is Your Majesty Lucifer thinking?" Vasago seemed to be talking to himself.

"You can ask him himself," Beryl said.When Belial said this, Lucifer was coming down the stairs, he was walking behind, and Michael was walking in front.

"Your Majesty Lucifer, hello." Vasago stood up, saluted in Lucifer's direction, and greeted Michael, "Archangel Michael, hello."

Michael just got up, he smiled at Vasago, and went to wash silently.

"Vasago, aren't you by Barr's side?" Lucifer asked.

"Master Baal wants to know what you think, Your Majesty Lucifer. You told us to obey the orders of God, and now you want to seal us back into the 72 Demon God Pillars," Vasago said.

"I have my own plan." Lucifer said.

"Your Majesty, can you give us an explanation?" Vasago knelt down on one knee, he hesitated, and said, "We can understand why you told us to obey God's orders, but we don't know why you changed your mind. The tree of life is so important, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Vasago, you have a kind heart, which is different from other demons. I know you care about the survival of the tree of life. Don't worry, the tree of life will not wither." Lucifer whispered, "I am a human being now. Naturally, I want to help my contractor seal the demon, but I have already arranged everything."

"I will always trust you, Your Majesty Lucifer. You are the king of hell and the object of my allegiance." Vasago said.

He got up to leave, and Beryl walked him to the door.He got into the carriage, and the carriage drove down the gloomy street on which he had come.The sky was covered with dark clouds, the gray sky darkened, there was a loud thunder, and it began to rain.
