fallen Angel

"...Father! Father Arthur!"

Arthur recovered from the call, and looked blankly at the female colleague with a worried face.

"Are you okay? You look very depressed and don't look good! Did you catch a cold because you lent me your coat yesterday?"

Facing Lilith's concern, Arthur shook his head bitterly.This is not the first person to say that he is mentally ill today. Early in the morning, Curtis stuffed several large apples into his hands, and said, "An apple a day is a good way to stay away from the doctor."

"It's okay, I just haven't slept well these days."

"That's right! Look at your dark circles." Lilith pointed at his eyes exaggeratedly, "It's a pity for such beautiful eyes."

Arthur smiled wryly, he couldn't tell the cruel truth, because even he couldn't accept it.

After admonishing Arthur to take more rest, Lilith took out a clean coat from the paper bag in her hand, "By the way, thank you for your coat, I have sent it to be washed."

"Ah, you don't have to be so polite."

Arthur quickly reached out to take it, and seeing his own wrist protruding from the cuff, he immediately hugged the jacket and retracted his hand, for fear that the other party would notice something was wrong.

The reddish scar on it brought back unbearable memories that he wanted to forget.

He remembered that after the incident, the man who insulted him had a completely different attitude, carefully wiped off his sweat and body fluids, tidied his messy clothes, and gently combed his hair until everything was taken care of. Release the shackles from his hands.

The fingertips that hadn't flowed for a long time were sore and tingling, but he still exhausted his remaining strength and slapped the hateful man.

Mephisto could avoid it, but he chose to bear his slap, with an incomprehensible and complicated smile on the corner of his mouth, and finally, like a pilgrimage, he kissed the back of his hand again and left, leaving him alone in the silent confession in the room.

He still can't believe what happened to him, and still can't believe that his willpower is so weak that he would succumb to the teasing of men and break the commandments of chastity.

Last night he knelt in front of the altar all night, until his hands and feet were so stiff that he almost lost consciousness, before returning to the dormitory.

He knew that his behavior was close to self-abuse, and he finally understood why someone repented by whipping himself. If he hadn't repented all night, he really didn't know if the mistakes he made would not be redeemed in time, and he even doubted whether he was qualified to continue to serve as Clergy...

"Really, you have to take good care of your body!" Lilith didn't notice his abnormality, thinking that it was just lack of sleep that caused him to be in a daze again and again, "Don't forget, you are the important Father Arthur to the children! You can't fall down first!"

"Yeah!" Unspeakable pain welled up in his heart. For the first time, he felt that the title of "priest" was quite heavy.

But at least Lilith's unintentional words woke him up - he must not give in, and he must not give up his due responsibilities, at least before he resigned from the priesthood, he must protect other students from temptation.

That man is sweet poison.

With a beautiful appearance and love words like sugar and honey, weaving into a trap of indulging, such a superb seduction technique, there is no one else but the devil.

Little priest who walks between filth and purity, you belong to me.

The demon's declaration that day and yesterday's whispers slowly overlapped, and Arthur felt a chill down his spine. His intuition told him that his suspicion was not wrong.

The man with the pseudonym "Mephisto" must be the demon he met on Christmas Eve.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Lilith beside her screamed, which startled Arthur. "It's Mr. Mephisto!"

Hearing the unexpected name, Arthur raised his head subconsciously. When he saw the other person walking into the Academic Affairs Office, his heartbeat couldn't help but his chest was so painful that he was almost paralyzed.

Today, Mephisto is wearing a military-style long windbreaker, which makes his long body even more heroic. He walks like a charming figure of a model stepping on a stage, and instantly captures the attention of all the women present. Even the male staff stared straight at him, not knowing whether to be envious or jealous.

Spotting his gaze, Mephisto, who was greeting the other staff, turned his head.Arthur immediately lowered his head to avoid the other party's sight.

Although he had just prepared himself mentally to deal with this man, when he really appeared, he still fell into a brief panic, especially when he felt that the man was gradually approaching him.

"It's rare to see you come to the Academic Affairs Office! What's the matter?" Fortunately, Lilith, who was facing forward, just got stuck between the two of them, easing Arthur's predicament.

Mephisto smiled calmly, and spoke with his trademark magnetic voice, "Actually, there is nothing special about it, because Father Arthur said that he is not very familiar with my substitute teacher, so I wanted to hang around here more, so that he could get to know me earlier. "

"Huh? So you came to find Father Arthur!"

Realizing that the two were looking at him at the same time, Arthur stiffened with tension, pretending to be immersed in his work, but in fact he couldn't see anything in front of the black and white paper.

"Arthur..." The hateful man was already standing beside him, and his seductive call was like a breeze, reminding him of the call that lingered in his ears when he was in a daze yesterday, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Aware of his vacillation, Mephisto's mouth curled into a sly smile invisible to others, and he deliberately prolonged the end of his name before slowly uttering the honorific title of "Father", "Good morning. How are you? Are you okay? "

Ask knowingly!Arthur raised his head angrily, and stared at the culprit who caused him to feel unwell, but met the smiling eyes of the other party. His casual and casual appearance made him angry.

"He has insomnia!" Seeing that Arthur didn't speak, Lilith answered for him first, "I haven't slept well recently, it's very pitiful!"

"Really? Let me see." The man stretched out his big hand and raised his slender jaw for a closer look, but the long fingers with neatly manicured nails and beautiful knuckles only reminded Arthur of being toyed with by these hands until he lost himself Dilemma.

Embarrassment and anger welled up, bursts of blush dyed the white neck, extending all the way to the ears, Arthur pushed away to touch his hand, "Please don't touch me."

"Don't be so cold! This is just my way of showing friendship, otherwise, how will we get to know each other if this continues?"

"I don't want to get to know you at all, please stay away from me!"

"Father Arthur?" It was rare to see him so angry, and Lilith, who was watching, couldn't help being stunned.

Knowing that he had lost his composure, Arthur didn't want to apologize to the man who played with him, so he kept a cold face and didn't speak.

The embarrassing atmosphere among the three made the other faculty members look here curiously, and it wasn't long before Mephisto's "I'm sorry" was the first to break the silence.

"You are not feeling well, and I have been teasing you, I am really sorry."

The other party apologized frankly, which made Arthur's anger disappear immediately, but after a second thought, he felt that this might be his trick of pretending to be wronged, so he continued to remain silent in the end.

"Then, let me take my leave first, and please remember to rest a lot."

Lilith let out a "hey", showing her reluctance, "Are you leaving? Are you in a rush for class?"

"That's not true, I won't have class later."

"Then stay for a cup of tea! I have some handmade biscuits here, I made them myself with rosemary!"

Lilith tried her best to keep Mephisto's high-pitched and sweet voice heard in Arthur's ears. For some reason, the flattery made him frown.

No, how can I have a disdainful view of my female colleagues?He secretly reprimanded himself, but unconsciously listened to the conversation between the two.

"Speaking of rosemary, I also grow some in my greenhouse, and I really like the aroma of this plant."

"Do you have your own greenhouse?! Awesome!"

Not long after, Arthur heard her happily yelling "I'm going", and couldn't help looking at the two people who were chatting happily out of the corner of his eye. Lilith told the colleague next door that she would leave temporarily, and then met Mephisto. They left the Office of Academic Affairs side by side.

Where are they going?Staring at the backs of the two talking and laughing, Arthur couldn't stop caring about their whereabouts.Strictly speaking, the object of his greatest dissatisfaction was Mephisto.

This man who just used falling in love with him yesterday as an excuse to do whatever he wants to him, not only appeared in front of him with a cheeky face, but also pretended that nothing had happened, chatting happily with the female teacher, relatively speaking, he was frustrated and annoyed I am so stupid!

Arthur unconsciously clenched the pen in his hand until his fingertips hurt.I am just like a pawn in this game. Love and depravity are all hypocritical lies, and they are worthless after I succeed...

etc!Could it be... his next target is Lilith?

A sudden thought flashed through his mind, and Arthur stood up immediately.He can't allow that man to play with other people and add more innocent victims!

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He couldn't stay any longer, and chased after the two of them. He didn't even hear the director of the Academic Affairs Office calling him. He was only thinking about how to expose the devil's tricks and prevent him from wreaking havoc in the world.

Seeing the two walk out of the administrative building, he kept a certain distance and followed closely.

"...I have a different opinion of Mr. Mephisto. I didn't expect you to be so powerful...I'm serious!" Lilith laughed all the way, as if she would fly into the sky as she walked, and kept heading towards Mephisto leaned forward with his broad shoulders.

Arthur thought that this man really had a way, even Lilith, who was always dubbed "queen" by other male faculty members because of her arrogance, became a little bird around him.

"Did he use drugs or something..." If that was the case, then his loss of control yesterday made sense.

Especially the body odor of Mephisto's body, which is mixed with a sweet scent, always lingers in the nostrils. Recalling that scent, the memory mixed with shame and hotness spreads in his heart again... No, why did he lose his mind again?

Arthur pulled back Piaoyuan's consciousness, he didn't expect that the two people who were in front of him had disappeared in this trance, he secretly groaned in his heart.

"I remember they were going here...Damn it, how could they have lost it?" He looked around anxiously, only remembering that the direction the two of them were heading seemed to lead to the back mountain of the school...

"Meow—meow—" Just when he was at a loss, a small cry came from his feet.

"Brother Huai? Why is it you again?"

Arthur looked down, and saw that the small snow-white figure brushed past his legs, stopped on the cobbled road ahead, turned his head and meowed at him frequently, and stared at him with blue eyes, looking ghostly.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he read it correctly, the little white cat seemed to be reminding him to follow it.

"Are you taking me to find Lilith and Mephistopheles?"

Brother Huai still didn't answer, but called more eagerly. He took two steps forward and looked back again. The cat's eyes with faint blue light seemed to blame him, "Why don't you come with me?"

What a strange cat... Even though he thought so, Arthur still couldn't match his curiosity and followed him.

He wanted to see where this little white cat would lead him to. Anyway, he lost track of him, so he just gave it a try, maybe he just happened to run into him.Last time, Brother Huai also sneaked into Mephisto's office without authorization. Although the sufferer doesn't like cats, Brother Huai seems to like him very much.

One person and one cat walked on the narrow mountain path. The kitten's footsteps were nimble and agile, and the faster it went, the faster it would get lost. Arthur didn't dare to be careless, and followed step by step.

The kitten turned left into the small and exquisite garden, and soon turned right into the lush woods. After several turns, Arthur couldn't tell where he was.

He never knew that the mountain behind the school occupies such a vast area. What surprised him even more was that in the forest not far away stood an elegant semicircular building with a translucent roof and covered with vines. The white beams and columns are obviously a greenhouse.

He has served in this school for several years. How could he not know when a greenhouse was built in the back mountain, and it was hidden so secretly?

Under the urging of the cat's meowing, Arthur tried to push open the glass door, and with a "babble", the door slowly opened inward, and what appeared in front of him was a gorgeous scene that had never been seen before.

"It's so beautiful..." The fragrance of plants came to his nostrils, and he couldn't help but blurted out his admiration.

As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, each occupying a piece of heaven and earth, competing to put on a posture of competing for beauty, forming a series of gorgeous curtains, covering the roof, window edges, walls and the ground.

This mysterious space that has a strong impact on vision and smell is not so much a greenhouse as a small castle decorated with various flowers, plants and vines. It is wild and luxurious in beauty, but it is filled with an indescribably alluring atmosphere.

Some plants Arthur could barely pronounce the names of, but many brightly colored plants he had never seen before.

"Meow—" The kitten in front got impatient and ran forward.

"Waidi, wait!" Arthur raised his footsteps to catch up, but the kitten disappeared after a turn, and he also turned at the same place. At this time, a black figure quickly passed by a corner of his sight.

someone? !Arthur turned reflexively in an instant, chasing the figure instead.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, severe pain hit instantly, his forehead and body seemed to hit a transparent wall, cutting off his way abruptly.

"It hurts..." Arthur groaned and pressed his forehead that had been bumped red. The sudden impact made his eyes dark, and he shook his drowsy head to see what the obstacle in front of him was.

"Mirror?" In other words, it is a wall inlaid with several mirrors, hidden among the lush flowers and trees on both sides of the aisle, refracted at different angles, reflecting confusing colors, interweaving into a gorgeous space with inverted images.

And in this strange picture, he saw black figures hovering in it, like trapped animals, panicked and restless, although they walked in different directions, their movements were uniform.

Only then did he realize to his surprise that these were all his reflection images, the evidence was that he tried to shake his hands and feet, and the image in the mirror also assumed the same pose.

"What is this..." If it's just an ordinary greenhouse, why is there such a setting?Arthur couldn't understand it, and facing such a strange scene made his hair stand on end.

An unspeakable chill enveloped him from all around, he shivered, and driven by the instinct to avoid danger, he gradually retreated along the original path.

Suddenly, a white flashing figure rushed in front of him, Arthur almost yelled, the gasping in his throat made his chest hurt.

Holding his heart that was almost bursting, he stared at the little white cat with wary eyes, not understanding why it always appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and he was even more worried that his premonition would come true.

All of a sudden, the little white cat swept away its cute and naive appearance, arched its soft back and tail, and let out a ferocious scream that resembled a wild animal. Its constricted blue pupils seemed to be confronting him, staring at him steadfastly.

He stepped back step by step, and the cat advanced step by step, and screamed louder, as if warning him not to back down, but suddenly fell silent.

He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he actually saw the look of fear in the cat's eyes. In an instant, he understood that Brother Huai was not on guard against himself, but the people behind him.

"What an unexpected visitor! Dear Arthur." A beautiful voice that could be described as charming came out, and Arthur turned around suddenly, only to see a tall figure in a three-piece suit standing in front of him, with emerald green eyes The beautiful pupils stared at him with a half-smile.

He staggered a step back, hurriedly opened the distance from the opponent, and the little white cat took advantage of the gap to get out from his feet, ran wildly along the way he came, and disappeared without a trace.

"You..." Arthur saw clearly that this handsome and extraordinary man was the one he knew well, but at this moment, the other man had hair as beautiful as gold spun into silk threads, shining brightly under the sunlight, exuding emit holy light.

The beautiful posture like an angel descending, but exudes a strong dark atmosphere, the similar sense of fear suddenly overwhelms the sky, and the memories of Christmas Eve spread like a tide, that is the beauty that does not belong to the world, but also the evil that comes from the darkness .

"You...you are..."

"Didn't I want you to remember my appearance?" The man with a beautiful face smiled and held out his hand to him, "Because I will come to pick you up soon."

"You are a devil!" Arthur put his hand into his pocket immediately, but before he could touch the protective rosary, a sudden force seized him, and the next moment, his hands were pulled far away, one left and one right .

Strangely, the demon was still standing a certain distance away, looking at him calmly with folded arms.

This is how the same thing?Arthur took a closer look, only to find that the turquoise vines hanging from the pergola above his wrist were actually wrapped around his wrist.He tried to break free with his hands, but the plant entangled him even more consciously.

"This is a very cute plant. Once it binds the interested prey, it will never let go, and the more the prey struggles, the tighter it will be. Such a bad personality is quite similar to us guys from hell. That's it!" The man smiled lowly, looking at him with mocking eyes.

"You despicable devil, let me go!"

"By the way, I don't seem to have told you my identity. My name is not 'Hateful Demon' or 'Despicable Demon'! Oh, beautiful little priest, please listen clearly—"

A bewitching smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the man ignored Arthur's roar and struggled to approach, and whispered his real name as he whispered into his ear.

Lucifer.

"It should be familiar to you, right? Joshua Lewitt's grandson."

"Lucifer..." Just repeating the three extremely evil words, Arthur felt a strong sense of oppression squeezed in his chest, making him unable to breathe.

He is the ruler of hell, and also the sinful place where demons and thousands of monsters confuse the world. In ancient times, he committed the crime of "arrogance" and fell from heaven. Lucifer, a fallen angel.

But what shocked Arthur even more was not that he was facing the most powerful demon in the world, but that he finally remembered where he had seen these green pupils before.

"I remember you..." His voice trembled uncontrollably, and the dusty memory was completely revived at this moment.

Just 20 years ago, he watched his grandfather use a rosary to fight off a demon he refused to make a pact with.

Joshua Lewitt, I will take away your most precious thing. I want you to see him completely degenerate after being defiled by me, and make you regret that you refused to make a contract with me.

In a tremblingly graceful voice, the demon announced that he would one day return for revenge.

At this moment, all the confusion so far has been solved.

No wonder I was the only one who didn't remember this substitute teacher, no wonder I became flustered and unable to control myself, this demon pursued him, kept telling him love, and tempted him to violate the commandment of chastity. A means of revenge to lure him into the urn!

The truth cut Arthur's whole body open like a knife blade, and the burning grief and indignation occupied his chest, and the strong suffocation made him almost forget how to breathe.

"No matter what title the world has given me, this is my only name. I hope you will remember it well." With a flick of the Devil King's finger, another kind of grass and trees with gorgeous flowers quickly gathered to form a comfortable and luxurious large seat. Sitting down with a pair of long legs folded gracefully, he smiled leisurely, "Since we are about to sign a contract, you should always know who the contracter is."

"As a member of the Lewitt family, I will not submit to you." Arthur said firmly, "I will not make a contract with you."

"It seems that you still don't understand your situation!" Lucifer leaned slightly, and then snapped his fingers again.

The next moment, the vine wrapped around Arthur's hand was pulled hard, and before he even had time to exclaim, his whole body was dragged backwards. When he lost his center of gravity, thinking that he would fall to his head, he felt that his back was leaning against him. A barrier held him in midair.

This barrier is nothing more than more vines, they rolled forward one by one around his waist and chest, some even protruded from the cuffs, and then drilled out from the gap between the buttons, the originally meticulously dressed black robe It opened wide, revealing the chest that was tangled with green ropes.

Arthur struggled instinctively, but the restraints became tighter, and he couldn't help moaning out of pain.At the same time, he felt another strange object stirring at his ankle.He kicked his only free legs, but immediately there was the sound of cloth being torn, and his legs felt tingling pain, as if they had been sliced ​​by some thin sharp weapon.

"Don't move around, these little things are not so gentle anymore, they are fierce, sharper than a knife blade."

The long grass that rose from the ground had purple jagged blades that brushed lightly over the surface of the fabric, tearing apart the crisply ironed black trousers.

Soon, the clothes on Arthur's lower body turned into rags and fell to the ground. The torn black robe could not cover up his slender legs. Bloodstains are clearly visible.

Being put into such a shameful posture, Arthur felt a rush of heat rushing to his forehead, "Lawful devil, let me go!"

"Ah, you are indeed injured, don't struggle around, I will be reluctant to injure such a beautiful body."

Having said that, Lucifer stood up and slid his fingertips across the scar on his thigh with a smile. He didn't withdraw his hand until his face turned pale from the pain, and licked off the blood stained by his fingertips, as if tasting a delicacy in the world.

"In that case, let's change to a gentler way."

He didn't dare to imagine what the "gentle way" the devil was talking about. The strange object had wrapped around his legs and was winding upwards.Arthur lowered his head in astonishment, the horrifying scene in front of him made his mouth half open, and his whole body was so stiff that he couldn't move.

It is completely different from the vines that bind the hands. What is entwined between the legs is the thick branches of some kind of tree. The unusually bright red stems are twisted into irregular shapes, but they are so soft that they seem to have their own will, circling round and round His legs climbed up slowly.

The slightly rough surface rubbed against the sensitive inner thighs, causing waves of tingling and slight itching, which made Arthur shudder, who had never experienced such a situation.

"This... what is this..."

"Manning. Even if I tell its name, you still don't know what it is, right? This is a cute creature that only demons know how to cultivate."

As if confirming Lucifer's proud remarks, the front ends of the branches entwining Arthur suddenly grew rapidly, as if they were catalyzed by some force and split, blooming pink buds, and oozing transparent water vapor like morning dew, looking delicate and lustful Drops, but exudes obscene aroma.
