Sign a contract with the devil

Barchin's pool

Mammon is the administrator of hell. He is responsible for many things, one of which is recording the whereabouts of souls who come to hell.At Beryl's request, he brought Michael and the others to a boxy study.The area of ​​the study is only over 1 square meters, but its roof hangs high, as if it is far away in the sky.In the study room where the roof is almost invisible, bookcases are embedded on all sides, and the bookcases are full of books, with marks on the spine. The book in front of Michael is written: [-].

Mammon tapped lightly on the bookcase, and a book flew down from above.

Beryl snatched the book and asked, "What page is it on?"

"Page 320." Mammon replied.Even though Beryl snatched the book, he was not angry.

In these books, some describe the foreign affairs of the demons, some describe the history of foreign wars of the demons, and some describe the various races of the demons in detail. Whether it is literature, history, or astronomy and geography, all are recorded in these books. There, there is almost nothing missing.

Beryl turned to page 320, and found Greed Ivanov's name inside.It reads: Greed Ivanov, a human being, signed a contract with Baqin, was collected in the 72 Demon God Columns, and was enslaved by Baqin.Belial handed the book to Gabriel, pointing to this line of writing with his finger.

After Mammon waited for Gabriel to read it, she pointed with her finger, and the book returned to its original place by itself.

Mammon is wearing a purple shirt, gray trousers and black leather shoes. His face is very young, with a little childishness on his face. His slender figure makes him look tall. His complexion is almost pale. He has a round face and a pair of Emerald green jewel-like eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin, pale pink lips.Her long, wavy hair is tied behind her head with a red ribbon, and her earlobes and neck are covered with rubies.

They were going to drive to the 72 Demon God Pillar again, and Mamen sent them to the gate.

Before leaving, Mammon said to Belial: "Ariel said that you made a contract with humans, but I still don't believe it. I told him, I want to make a bet with him, you must be too lazy to pay attention to humans. But today I lost , It seems that once a lazy king falls in love, he is just like ordinary people. That's fine, it's fine, you go quickly, don't let Ariel find you."

Ariel is a fallen angel and a good friend of Belial.Belial's friend, with the courage of a lion, was the vanguard of the legions of Hell.Ariel was called "the valor of God" when he was an angel, and he was as brave as a lion not only in battle, but also in courtship.There is no devil in hell who doesn't know that he likes Belial. Although Belial rejected him and only regarded him as a friend, he didn't give up.

Beryl's face changed when he thought of Ariel, and he said goodbye to Mammon immediately.They flew into the air in a carriage pulled by the griffin, and walked towards the direction of the 72 demon pillars.

A horse of various colors is engraved on the pillar of Baqin, and a man with a snake tail is sitting on it.Gabriel put his hand on the pillar, and the snake-tailed man started to move, and he turned slowly, turned his head to Gabriel, and said, "I have a gem in my left hand, and a gem in my right hand, and one of them One is fake, the other one is real. May I ask which gem is real?"

"Left," Gabriel said.The answer to this question is recorded in Mammon’s study. The answer changes every day, seven days in a week. The answer for odd-numbered days is the left, and the answer for even-numbered days is the right.

After answering correctly, the snake-tailed man on the pillar disappeared, and a door with glowing edges appeared out of thin air in front of the pillar.Gabriel walked through the door, and Michael followed. Inside was a large room with two pools, one of which contained hot porridge, and the other contained gold and precious stones.

There was a man by the pool, who looked sunken from days of hunger, but still scooped up gold and gems with a spoon that stood by the pool.

A horse of one color stood guard in the middle of the pool and repeated: "Here are two pools, and there is one spoon. You can only use this spoon to scoop on the left side or on the right side."

The person standing by the pool was Greyd Ivanov. When he saw Gabriel, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Please help me! Friends over there, please help me. I don't I should sell my soul to the devil, and I am willing to sacrifice everything to save it, I believe in the Lord, and I believe that the merciful Lord will forgive me as a dishonest believer.” He said, while trying to scoop up gold and precious stones in the pool thing.

It turned out that he himself could not control his own soul. Although he was conscious, he could only do what Bachin wanted.

Gabriel said to Michael: "You watch me do it." He walked to the side of Gered Ivanov, put his hand into the heart of Gered Ivanov, and pulled out the A round bead that glows blue.

Greedivanov seemed to be unconscious, and he was still chanting: "Please help me! Friends over there, please help me, I shouldn't..."

Gabriel said: "He sold his soul to Baqin, so his soul stays forever at the moment before he died. He will keep doing the same thing and saying the same thing repeatedly, without escape. This is The result of selling the soul to the devil. What I hold in my hand is the part of his consciousness that excludes the soul, which is also his memory. If you want to snatch this soul back from Baqin and seal Baqin, you have to go through him Find out what he cares about most in his soul. As long as I find this thing, I can find the place where Greed Ivanov’s soul is through Belial. I found the place where Greed Ivanov is , you can find Baqin, and then you can seal him back into the Demon God Pillar."

After they got the memory of Gered Ivanov, they returned to the place where they lived.

In just one day, so many things happened, it's like a dream when I think about it.Michael made the bed, but didn't feel sleepy.Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, he thought of Lucifer again.Are you really Lucifer?Michael asked in his heart.He thought of the voice and smile of the man in the dream, and felt a dull pain in his heart.

really miss you.Michael suddenly thought.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Michael was soundly asleep, and Gabriel woke him up from the bed.

"Twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is the time when the soul is most active. At this time, it is easier to look through the memory to find out what the owner of the memory cares about most." Gabriel said, and lifted Michael's quilt.

Michael got up in a daze and sat at the dining table.Gabriel walked up to him with the glowing bead, suddenly put his hand into Michael's chest, and put the bead in.Gabriel's hand left Michael's chest, which was unharmed.Michael shook his body and fell down slowly.

"I'm sorry, Greed, we really don't have any money to lend you." What voice came, in my head?No, not there.That voice came from a deeper place, as if it came from the heart...

Michael opened his eyes and saw a flaxen-haired young man standing in front of him.Michael couldn't help but said: "Please lend me some, just a little. I usually lend you money, but this time you can help me, Alexander. My grandfather is very ill and needs a lot of money. His surgery cannot Delayed."

"But I really don't have any money," Alexander said.

Michael felt that his right hand was tightly squeezed, and a surge of anger burst out of his heart, and then he endured and endured, and then let go of his right hand.After Alexander left, Michael raised his right hand and saw that his fingernails had drawn blood from his palm.Michael felt aggrieved looking at the blood, and the eye sockets of the face in the mirror turned red.

Michael saw in the mirror a very young man with close-shaven hair, a thick neck, and broad shoulders.The face is not clear under the light, but he has thick eyebrows, blue eyes, and thick lips under the high bridge of the nose.This person was not Michael, but Greed Ivanov.

The coffin dangled in front of his eyes, containing the most important people to Greedivanov.Grandpa Konside still failed to escape the ravages of illness, and passed away on the day approaching the New Year.The coffin was being carried by four people, and through Greyd Ivanov's line of sight, Michael saw a corner of the coffin board that had peeled off the paint.My heart suddenly hurt, and I spent all the money in the family to treat my grandfather, and now I can only buy old coffins.

Michael followed behind the pastor, looking at the pastor's black robe, he felt in his heart that he saw his grandfather fell into a black hole. No matter how much he begged God to save him, God ignored him.

The pastor began to read: "God, Holy Spirit, come down, from the highest heaven, let your light shine. Father of the poor, come down! Giver of grace..."

Listening to the pastor's voice, Michael began to feel his eyelids slowly becoming heavy.

When Michael woke up, it was already noon the next day.Gabriel was sitting at the dining table with a sandwich in front of him. He was holding a cup of coffee and a newspaper in one hand.Beryl was sitting next to him, lying on his stomach in front of the dining table as if he had fallen asleep, and the things in front of him didn't move at all.Michael sat across from Gabriel, where there was also a sandwich and a cup of coffee.

After Michael finished eating, Gabriel came to him, put his hand in his heart again, and took out the glowing bead from inside.Michael found that the light from the beads became brighter, and slowly gathered together, turning into a beam of light, pointing to the west.

"This is the ion beam produced by memory and soul resonance. The memory will emit blue light, and the soul will emit green light. The two lights will attract each other. When you find the deepest thing in your memory, you can amplify this resonance. When the resonance When it is large enough, the light will be concentrated and condensed. Due to mutual attraction, it will be stretched into a beam, and the place the beam points to is the place we are looking for." Gabriel said.
