Angel on earth

The vertical golden pupils in the center of Mikhail's eyes seemed to be staring at her: "I would rather kill Father God with my own hands than let Him suffer this humiliation."

"But no one deserves to suffer humiliation." Candy Kane began to throw firewood again, and said cruelly, "For another example. If you appeared in the winter of 1226, Aaron would have lost everything including himself. Would you choose to kill him so that he doesn't have to continue to suffer humiliation?"

"He never lost himself." Mikhail looked away, lowered his head and muttered, "...me too."

Candy Kane couldn't help looking at him again.But Mikhail just patted Aaron's back slowly and lightly, making the rustling sound of skin touching the wool of the cloak.Whether it was intentional or not, Candy Kane heard that it was the beat of "The Passion of Matthew", and there was a verse wrong, which was exactly the same as what she had played to Aaron before.

The witch brushed her long black and messy hair and said:

"Mithra has become a fig leaf covering the whole world. The people at the bottom believe in him in order to survive, and the people at the top believe in him to clean up the bad things. If people who wholeheartedly do good and dream of going to heaven gather together, it is estimated that it will not be enough A slave ship. Micah and Yana are allied with me for this."

Mikhail massaged Aaron's stiff muscles in the cloak, but just as he didn't think Kandy Kane's question was impolite before, Kandy Kane thought it was okay.

The teenager thought for a while and asked, "Candy Kane, I thought you were a bad witch before, but now I know you are a real mage. Anna said that you have the ability to borrow the power of time, so you can do it for me." Shall I answer?"

"Please tell me." The witch stretched out her hand towards the flames, warmed it upside down, then retracted to rub it, and hugged her knees, looking extremely cold.

Mikhail couldn't see it, and he pretended not to hear it: "What do you think of our heavenly father, the sun god Mithra?"

This time, Candy Kane was silent for a while before answering:

"In the beginning, Mithra was a good father who was even better than what was recorded in God's scriptures. Human wars killed him. He was soft-hearted for a moment, and left the Garden of Eden for the rebellious Adam and Eve, and went to the world. This is the beginning of human prosperity and war The beginning is also the beginning of His change and destruction.

"Every time he killed a god, Baal, Vishnu, Morpus, Kupala, he had to devour their strength and will to destroy them completely, while being changed by these things. For thousands of years he has been Resisting their erosion is their final revenge. The most terrifying of them all is Baal. Under his influence, even the kingdom of Baal survives under the church.

"Children of your age and birth probably don't know about Baal. In ancient times he was also known as the god of the sun and, among other things, the god of fertility. Mithra's church was not like that in the beginning, people just He loves and respects the innocence of children, and envies their honor of ascension to heaven. But Baal made Isabella, Julia, Dolophia, everything.

"I am not a 'fire-stealer'. Mithra lent me his power voluntarily and did not want me to return it. He cried out to us, and I heard it. The people of the holy city thought he wanted more, so they fought , but He was just tired and was expecting a few less stupid children to help him. Sihika wanted to save Him, we met after the Second Jihad, but as you can see, it failed completely. The reason Nothing to say, we won't do it again. I kill him now a second time, just to shepherd his flock.

"I have no father, but like you, Mesha, Mithra is my father. You love him, and so do I. Even Aaron begged him to take him away in prison. Aaron was a good boy, he Failed to save Christine, so at the moment he heard Mithra's cry for help, he generously offered half of his soul. But he is a good doctor, not a magician, not even a qualified vampire. Secret There is a difference between Thra and Mithra, the one who loves us is the original Mithra who suffered for the foolish sons and daughters, and what we give in return is to kill Him who is present and future.

"I am not a blasphemer, I am Candy Kane, a godslayer, and no one can compete with me for the honor of murdering my father."

The cold rain outside the wooden house slanted in response to the occasion, and I don't know if it is the soundtrack given by the witch.Mikhail's movements stopped, and he seemed to be stunned.

The witch said abruptly:

"He wants you to be blind."

"Since he wants it," said Mikhail, "I don't mind. If he doesn't want me to see it, I won't."

"Even...?"

"It's a good thing that he still has hope." Mikhail smiled, "He hoped that I would not look at him, which means...it means that he is not so tired, and he still wants to live, for me. You see, he has been Trying hard to live with me."

"He didn't become like this before he met you. Of course, it's not your fault..." The witch frowned in distress, and quickly stopped thinking about it.Mikhail said:

"It's a result of everything he's been through in the past. I've come too late and he doesn't want to ask for anything from me or anyone else. Maybe one day he'll ask me for help, and then, Candy Kane , and he began to heal."

Candy Kane approached his face quickly, his dark eyes were bottomless:

"Or you are trying to satisfy your desire to save the world, Mikhail. You are too young and too pure to do anything about the other dark sides of the world. He would be a perfect recipient for you, you Will you be satisfied with that? I don't mean to blame you, Mikhail, but I don't want you to love him in this way, even if it's only one percent of it. Neither I nor Micah will love him because He couldn't bear it; now, I ask you again: Are you satisfied with 'saving Aaron', even for a moment?"

After a moment of silence, Mikhail pursed his lips and said softly: "Whoever wants to be satisfied with this kind of thing and seek happiness in this kind of thing is more unforgivable than all the villains I killed."

Candy Kane put his hands behind his back, looked at him carefully for a while, and reached out to pat his head.

"I can't guarantee you that prophecy is not everything, and it may not happen. But, I think he will be fine." The witch sat down beside her with her hands on her cheeks, "No one taught you, but you are a smart Man, so I want to ask... Do you hate him for being the one who made him like this, Mikhail?"

"Do I hate them? Then, isn't hatred a kind of love?" Mikhail replied blankly, shaking his head again, "No. I don't hate anyone, and I don't want Aaron to continue to hate. I guess it's jealousy. I don't hate Isabella for what she does, in my eyes she does more good deeds than evil, more good than bad, rollins, ethan, jasmine , Matthew, all the same. But why are they so important to Aaron?"

"No one has taught you these bad things, why did you learn to be jealous, but you are unwilling to admit hatred?"

"I don't understand either, Candy Kane, I think it's because I love him. Maybe it's because I was used to explaining everything with love when I was a child-now, this reason still seems to apply. If you have to say hate, I should hate me Myself; but when it comes to jealousy, I have experienced many. You, Micah, Harry Edwards, Catherine, Jeanne, Laura, even Isabella; and of all the creatures that possess him and destroy him , the one I am most jealous of is my Father God.”

The witch giggled, "Oh, I like you too, Misha! Is there anyone more honest than you in this world?"

"If I had been honest with myself earlier, I wouldn't have gotten him where he is now." Mikhail muttered, shook his head, and smiled, "Do you remember? We met at the narrow gate noodle."

The witch was dazed for a moment, then nodded: "Exactly. Well, please forgive me, Misha, that is also the part I dedicated to God the Father. If you don't mention it, I won't remember it. Good Misha, do you want to tell me?" ? That might help us in our next move."

Mikhail's shining eyes looked at her, "My mother took the narrow gate for me, and now it is in my spirit, so I can witness a part of the truth."

The witch looked up.

Mikhail says:

"I saw you running for him behind the door, provoking the will of the gods to consume them within; I saw the ghosts of Sihekiah and Aaron the 'bronze serpent' prostrate on the ground, offering praise to him day and night Pray, Micah tried to visit them 300 years ago, but he drank him away and never entered the spirit world; I saw Isabella transforming into a ten-horned beast, roaring and devouring the gods, every ounce of his sobriety All at the cost of the festering of her soul;

"I saw...Aaron standing by his side and fighting for him for 300 years until I came."

The little man burst out laughing:

"What's the matter, Misha? Aaron, who is in charge of violence, knelt on the ground and prayed, but Aaron, who was a doctor, was fighting the gods. I said how he ran to fight with people as soon as he could walk. That half of the impact!"

Hearing this, Mikhail paused, then smiled:

"Well, if you remember—he used the flaming sword that guarded the Garden of Eden, the land of the beginning has long since fallen, and it has become part of the kingdom of death today. When God the Father was weakest, he never left, and with Baal fought for a full ten years; God the Father was able to move freely, and he drove the cherubim to fight, and Isabella immediately devoured the heretic gods he killed. The gods are often provoked by you, deceived by you, and divided There are many factions, but he never cooperates with any side, no angel can carry out his mission with such ruthlessness, he kills the gods like I killed the Siegfried Commonwealth."

Candy Kane touched his minibus with his thin, pale hand: "Then I see, Mikhail, I remembered too. Just as Aaron behind the door brought enough fights for Aaron here Experience, here Aaron also makes him suddenly withdraw from the battle, return the flaming sword to the father... Mithras, and then-jump down to the history of 1225!"

As she spoke, she scratched her head and sighed:

"We are used to it, but we did not expect Morpus's torture to such an extent that God the Father himself could not bear it, and Aaron would rather release him with his own hands."

Mikhail gave an "um" inexplicably, and the two fell silent.

After a while, the young man gently stroked the eyebrows of the person in his arms, and said:

"Candy Kane, if you understand God's way of life, you know that even if no one in the world prays in my name at this moment, it does me no harm. Humans live by labor and exploitation, But God depends on love."

Mikhail looked up at the pitch-black roof, the cold rain outside slowly stopped, and everyone and dead things were listening to him.He picked up Aaron, and taught the vampire to lean his head against his shoulders and neck, and his chest against his own, as if they could exchange each other's sincerity.

The boy's voice was slightly low, and his white hair fluttered slightly under the light of the flames:

"Sorry, Candy Kane, for wasting your time. I know, you brought these people to recruit me. But, at least not now, my kingdom of heaven is here."

"...then," said Candy Kane cheerfully, looking up after a while, "we shall rejoice and rejoice in you; we shall praise your love more than wine."

"If Mithra dies, I am the last god in the world."

"But I don't need to come and kill you, do I?"

As soon as the words fell, the rain outside the house began to fall again.But that didn't stop Mikhail from saying to her seriously and clearly:

"Thank you."

On this cold and rainy night, everyone had a long and comfortable sleep. Even Mikhail lost his vigilance and snored sweetly while leaning against the wall with Aaron in his arms. I don't know who is going.

In a daze, a pair of cold and soft little hands reached between them, and took out the pair of emerald earrings from his coat pocket.The little witch whispered in his ear, I will take this, and I will use it so that Isabella will not shed innocent blood.Thank you for your generosity, Misha, so I'm doing you a favor too.Good to teach Aaron to know...

Mikhail's eyelids were too heavy to lift, and he felt a wet and cold kiss on his forehead.Candy Kane left the church barefoot, the door didn't open, let alone fall down, this corner of the house was still warm, and because the rest of the room was free from the wind and rain, it was especially suitable for sleeping late.

Candy Kane said: "Happy to you."

It was not until several hours later that Mikhail woke up refreshed.

The climate of the Demon Plateau is changeable, and it is difficult to judge the time by looking at the sky, even the day and night are not very accurate.But he thought it was a good morning, even the air was fresh.He said good morning to Aaron, kissed him on the lips, put him in a six-sided velvet coffin, made himself a steaming breakfast, washed himself up, and said happily to Aaron, we are far from Nolen. Not far away!

Mikhail Kupala carried Aaron out of the church, walked a few steps, and suddenly felt a strange tranquility.

He turned sharply away.

The gray world of different shades squirmed slowly, and an eagle-winged lion flag of the Abaddon Empire fluttered on the flagpole, and the lower end of the flagpole was nailed obliquely into the ruins.He couldn't see it, but at his feet, a wooden sun cross exposed by melting snow, was smashed to pieces under his foot.

After standing for a while, he turned around silently and walked westward steadily.Behind him, a mass of ruins and rotting timbers collapsed on the hills, and shattered banners rattled.In the sporadic icy rain, the banner was as dark and solemn as a silent heretic god.

After a while, the flagpole snapped and snapped in two, and a large piece of degraded fabric flew freely towards the gloomy sky, riding the cold wind of the devil plateau.

The author says:

[3] Song of Solomon 1:4, friend's blessing for the bridegroom.

In short, the church in this chapter is long gone, it's all witch's magic.
