NO. Five Hundred and Ninety-Four the Temptation of the Devil
"Cough cough... cough cough!"
In the slums in the evening, the sun gradually fell into the horizon, and the sky and the earth were dimmed. Only the blossoming tents on the seashore revealed a faint light. It's just that these rays of light are always dull, filled with darkness like the sunset, and cannot be erased.
"Cough cough cough..."
Among them, in one of the tents, there was a sudden dry cough, a lonely old man lying in the tent, coughing violently.
This old man is already very old, so old that he almost lost all his teeth and hair. Originally, his destination should have been to enter the national cryonics center, silently waiting for the chance to be resurrected in the future, but this stubborn old man did not do so.
He has lived long enough. At the age of three hundred and eighty years old, he has seen all the vicissitudes of history. He thinks that he has come to return to the embrace of the Lord and is unwilling to use cryonics.
In the eyes of a Christian like him, cryonics technology has trapped his soul in this body, unable to return to the embrace of the Lord.
In fact, the old man is not poor. On the contrary, he has tens of billions of dollars in capital and a biopharmaceutical company that studies T-series viruses. He has a great reputation in the whole federation. If he wants to accept freezing, he will be the top The freezing service treatment is also usual.
Originally, he was going to die peacefully with his children and grandchildren around his knees, enjoying the joy of family, but before his death, God played a huge joke on him——
The aftermath of a sudden battle caused the entire Los Angeles to suffer an unparalleled disaster. The old man only remembered that he saw an endless bright light, and then completely lost consciousness...
When he woke up, he had been rescued by the Federal Defense Mechanical Corps, but all his relatives, including the great-granddaughter who had just turned full moon, died in the explosion.
It's like a kind of irony. A dying old man who didn't have many days to live actually survived the disaster. Instead, he was the most important family member around him, but he left himself one step ahead.
Is this the Lord's punishment for me?
The old man coughed and thought about all this, his eyes were full of resentment - after his death, the will left to his son will inevitably become invalid, after all, the son has already died, then, the only person who gets the will can be He is the grandson of a cousin who is far away from him. He has seen that kid, and he has a bad mind. He doesn't like it, and he is even more reluctant to give his life's foundation to a distant relative who is almost indistinguishable from a stranger. .
Thinking of this, the old man's eyes suddenly had a desire to survive! However, this splendor dimmed in an instant. Now he has reached the point where the oil is running out. Unless Allah comes, it will be too late to freeze, right?
"It's just, I'm not reconciled..." The old man sighed secretly, his cough gradually weakened, and at the same time his consciousness was spinning for a while, and in front of his eyes, he seemed to see a black mist that was constantly pervading, and began to slowly swallow his own. sight...
"David Alexander?"
Just when the old man was about to completely lose consciousness, a voice suddenly floated from the sky, the old man's expression changed, and he used all his strength to look in the direction of the door, but he saw a man full of divine brilliance, slowing down. Walk slowly towards yourself.
Almighty Lord, have you come to meet your humble servant?
The old man's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say a word, so he had to say this in his heart.
"I'm not your master." The man who was full of brilliance looked indifferent, his voice was low and hoarse, but his tone was full of bewitching, "I'm just here to give you a choice and opportunity."
"As far as I know, your life has come to an end, the fire of life is dying, and it may be extinguished at any time, but it seems that you still have a wish?"
Yes, I don't want to die!
Immediately, the old man's eyes turned red, and he stared at the light and shadow in front of him, his lips trembling constantly.
I want to keep living,
I don't want to work hard for a lifetime of family business and give it to a stranger! I can not be reconciled! Almighty Lord, please help me!
"Oh, if that's the case..." The figure opened his hand slightly, swiped his finger, and suddenly a drop of purple blood flowed out of it, and under the light of the light, a faint brilliance flashed!
"Then, make a contract with me." The figure showed a sympathetic smile, "I will give you endless life, surpassing the power of mortals, so that you can continue to enjoy the time of life in this world. And as a price, I need You do one thing for me, and once the thing is completed, you and I will clear it at the same time, do you agree to this condition?"
I will, I will do anything!
Without thinking about it, the old man's eyes flashed with longing light again, just like a hungry wolf seeing flesh and blood, the pupils that were about to lose the color of life, but because of the other party's words, flashed the look of a sharp knife again!
"David Alexander, you have to think about it." The man laughed in a low voice, cold as a demon, "Please remember that once the contract is concluded, it can never be changed. If you violate the contract, I will let you Feeling something scarier than hell, you understand?"
I understand, I am willing to accept any conditions, please...
A flash of madness flashed in the old man's eyes. When he looked at the man's fingertips, his heart was filled with greed and desire, because he could feel that there was something in that strange drop of purple blood that made him yearn to the extreme. thing!
This is an instinctive desire of life. If he hadn't run out of fuel at this time and couldn't even stand up, I'm afraid he would even grab that drop of blood desperately and swallow it hard!
"Heh." Until this time, the man finally showed satisfaction, flicked his fingers, and immediately, the drop of purple blood bounced directly into the mouth of the old man.
The old man's expression was like that of an evil spirit in hell. As the drop of blood fell into his mouth, he immediately closed his mouth greedily, but the next second, he suddenly widened his eyes!
In his feeling, the drop of blood seemed to be alive, and it spread out in his mouth, penetrated the skin and muscles at the same time, and drilled towards the deepest part of his body...
Originally, this body has gradually lost its vitality, and even the most basic sense of touch has become more and more numb.
But at this moment, he unexpectedly felt an inexplicable force in his body, and at the same time, a burning burning sensation continued to spread from the whole body. Picked up the bucket and poured the fresh water in the bucket into the mouth!
His body was instantly filled with unparalleled life force, until he drank a whole bucket of water, the old man still felt that a fire inside his body was burning more and more vigorously, which was almost unbearable, so he simply shredded his shirt , and at the same time rushed out of the tent and ran towards the coastline!
Zhang Heng, who was on the side, watched all this silently, didn't say anything, and didn't do anything to stop it. It wasn't until ten minutes later that the old man disappeared in the seawater, and then he walked back to the tent with some collapse.
But at this time, the old man who was dying before had completely disappeared, and in his place was a middle-aged man with a bright expression and a pale complexion.
In just ten minutes, this twilight and old man who had lived for nearly 400 years had turned into the appearance he had when he was less than 200 years old. Time seemed to have flowed back on him for more than 200 years...
Until this time, Alexander, who got what he wanted, gradually calmed down. He touched his cheek in disbelief. The wrinkles on his face had been smoothed out, and his body was full of long-lost vitality. What was that drop of blood? ?
Thinking of this, Alexander looked into the tent in shock. The person who had signed a contract with him before turned out to be an Asian man with an ordinary face, black hair and yellow skin. The other party stood in a shadow and could only see the outline. But could not see the appearance.
The only thing that can be seen faintly is the faint smile on the corner of the other's mouth in the shadows...
