Sign a contract with the devil

Chapter 3

Harper's Castle

The boat was sailing in the dark river, Michael lowered his head to look at the water surface, but was disappointed to find that the water surface was still water surface and did not reflect the figure of the person in his dream like a mirror.

"The night charm here sometimes doesn't appear." The boatman explained.

This river is a branch of the Red Sea that flows to hell, and it is also a passage between the world of hell and the world of earth.

Gabriel sat in front with a heavy heart, and it was rare for Beryl not to interrupt his meditation.Gabriel knew that the person Michael saw was Lucifer, the master of hell, but he did not tell Michael what he meant.Even if he knew that to seal the 72 demon gods, Michael still needed the power of Lucifer in the end.

Out of his own selfishness, the Archangel had been procrastinating, but finally he could no longer procrastinate.

Belial still rested his head on Gabriel's shoulder, his eyes were half-opened, and he leaned lazily against Gabriel.After a while, Belial snorted.Gabriel hesitated, put his head in his lap, and held him in the dark as the boat arrived.

After some time, the boat finally arrived at the shore.After disembarking, they took the bus back again.Back at the hotel, Michael went to take a shower first.Gabriel put a book on the table with a somewhat hesitant expression.Belial walked over, embraced him with both hands, rubbed his head against Gabriel's face, and whispered in Gabriel's ear: "What should come will eventually come."

Gabriel closed his eyes and opened them again. He said to Belial: "I always hope that this time will be slower, slower, because I am also willing to use my life to protect Michael. But why are they hit? A destined couple, am I being selfish?"

"I don't know the origin of love, but it goes deeper and deeper. For you, it's just human nature."

"I shouldn't have prevented them from meeting."

"As long as you want to do, I will help you. Gabriel, I will help you realize your wish." Beryl picked up the book on the table and put him in his own space, "Wait until the right time Give it to him sometime."

Unaware of this, Michael took a shower and lay happily on the other bed.Gabriel also went to take a bath, it was already dark at this time, the lights were turned off, and Michael fell asleep.

"Michael..." Someone called his name.

He dreamed of a person sitting on a throne inlaid with jewels. He was wearing a black jacket, black trousers, and a black cloak over his shoulders.Two big, bottomless eyes seemed to be filled with stars.He looked at Michael softly, and called his name affectionately.Who is this guy?Do they know each other?Michael thought in his deep sleep, why can't I remember his name?It seems that I have forgotten something important, but I can't remember it anyway.

Come to think of it!Michael thought anxiously in his dream.

Then it was dawn.When the sky was still slightly bright, Michael woke up.He looked at the gray sky, it was cloudy and rainy today, and it seemed that it would not be sunny even if it did not rain.After a while, the morning bell rang, and the whole of Israel was immersed in the early morning church bells, "Lovely Father, we thank you and praise you! You are the master of all things, you are the only true God, you say If there is, there will be, and the order will be fulfilled, you are a loving, righteous, holy and faithful true God, we should worship and praise you!"

Breakfast is sandwiches and milk, delivered by the hotel waiter.Gabriel is going to the next place, which is Cairo, which is completely traversed by the Nile River.Cairo is the largest city in Egypt and the Arab world, as well as Africa, and one of the oldest cities in the world.

The bored Michael was wandering the streets of Israel, as if something attracted him, he walked towards a dilapidated church.The reason why it is said to be dilapidated is that the door is ajar, the door knocker is rusty, the windows are covered with a layer of dust, and the white face of the angel originally painted has become gray and white.Michael walked through the gate, facing a wall with engravings of God's message to mankind, and brick carvings around it.At the bottom of the carving is a clump of intertwined ancient vines, spiraling up like a dragon.There is a chandelier on the ceiling, already covered with cobwebs.

There was no way forward, but Michael continued to move forward.He actually passed through the mural!

Michael walked into the mural, his eyes went dark, and when he looked up again, he saw a green grassland in front of him, and there was a castle like a tower not far away.Michael came to the gate of the castle, but no one answered the door, so Michael pushed the door and entered by himself.There is a long dining table in the hall, and the table is full of delicacies.The surrounding candles illuminated the interior of the castle. There were twelve chairs on the dining table, two of which had people sitting on them.Sitting at the main seat was a young man with gray and black hair, his eyes were as red as blood, and his body was emitting a stench.On the other side is a middle-aged man with flaxen hair, his eyes are gray, his hands and feet are shaking, and he looks very frightened.

"Hey, we have a new guest." The young man said to the middle-aged man.

"Let's go..." the middle-aged man said helplessly, with despair in his eyes.

"Please find a place to sit down." The young man said to Michael.

Michael found a seat facing the young man and sat down, and the young man continued what he said just now: "Where did we go? By the way, it was Asazler who fell in love with the angel Canenford, who was two thousand years younger than him. They probably met when Azazel was still an angel. Later, Cannenford died in the fourth day of the battle to prevent the Assyrians from attacking Jerusalem. Weeping'. He then went to Hell, built a city in Hell, called Canendel, and asked the painters in Hell to paint a large number of Canenfordel's paintings. Well, the story is over. It's time for you to tell the story."

The middle-aged man stood up suddenly and said, "I regret it. I don't want to make a contract with you, and I don't want to give you my soul to help me realize my wish."

"I told you, once the contract is formed, it will never end." The young man said in a hoarse voice.

Then the middle-aged man's skin began to age rapidly, his hair became gray, wrinkles around his eyes, his waist bent down, and he became a very old man.

"Hi, newcomer. I am the demon god from hell, and my name is Harpas. If you have any wishes, you can make a contract with me. I will help you realize your wishes, as long as you live At the end, just give me your soul." Harpas said to Michael, "If you enter this castle, you will not be able to leave unless you sign a contract with me."

The middle-aged man who had turned into an old man raised his hand with difficulty and said, "Be careful, don't, promise. He is, a devil."

"Can you meet someone for me?" Michael asked.

"What kind of person?" Halpas asked.

"I can't describe his appearance, but he often appears in my dreams. We seem to have known each other for a long time, but I can't remember his name. I really want to see him and see his appearance clearly. Want to talk to him. This man has called my name tenderly over and over again in my dreams, so I want to see him."

Halpas took out a mirror from his pocket, "This can help you see his appearance clearly, as long as you silently think about what you want to see, you can see it clearly on the mirror."

Michael took the mirror, it was a bronze mirror, the handle of the mirror was engraved with redbud flowers, and the mirror surface was as smooth as the surface of a lake.He looked in, and at first it was his own appearance in the mirror, but gradually began to change, and ripples appeared on the mirror surface, as if a stone was suddenly thrown into the quiet lake.Then the mirror showed the person he wanted to see, first the eyes, then the nose, then the mouth, and then the whole face appeared in the mirror.

He was very handsome, with black hair hanging in front of his eyes, inadvertently bringing out a bit of elegance.A pair of star-studded eyes are bottomless, with slightly raised eyebrows, a high and straight nose, and thin pale red lips underneath.

This is the man!Michael was about to jump up with excitement.

However, Harpas' expression changed, and he also walked over. When he saw the person in the mirror, he broke into a cold sweat.Halpas bowed down respectfully and saluted the person in the mirror: "See Your Majesty, Lord Lucifer."

The man in the mirror didn't respond to him, but Harpers didn't dare to make things difficult for Michael.He said: "I didn't expect you to sign a contract with Lord Lucifer. I'm sorry to offend you. I'll send you out." With a wave of his hand, the castle door opened again, this time behind the door was not The lawn when I came, but led to the old church.

Michael returned the mirror to Harpas, exited the door, and returned to the church.When Michael turned his head to look at this engraving of God's oracle, he always felt a strange feeling.It seems that this is not a sculpture of God's mercy ordaining human beings, but a sculpture of a demon tempting human beings to degenerate.

Michael went back to the hotel,

In the hotel, Gabriel was packing his luggage. "You go too, follow me," he said.

Michael said, "But I can't do anything, and I'll hold you back."

"It's okay." Michael sat on the bed, and Gabriel sat on another bed, facing Michael. "It's time for you to learn about our contract with the devil. I didn't tell you before, you did lose part of your memory, and now it's time to get it back. Michael, this journey It may be dangerous, I want you to promise me that you will not leave my side no matter what, can you?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Michael said.
