"Cough, cough Cough
In the slums in the evening, the sun gradually falls into the horizon, and the sky and the earth are dim. Only the tents one after another by the sea gave out the dim light. But these lights, always dusky, full of the dusk, can not be erased.
"Cough, cough..."
Among them, a sudden burst of dry cough came from a tent. A lonely old man was lying in the tent, coughing violently.
The old man was so old that he almost lost his teeth and hair. Originally, his destination should be to enter the national human body freezing center and wait for the chance of resurrection in the future. However, this stubborn old man did not do so.
He has lived long enough. He is 380 years old and has seen all the vicissitudes of history. He thinks that it is time for him to return to the embrace of the Lord and is unwilling to use human body freezing.
In his Christian view, human body freezing technology, on the contrary, 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 of capital. He has a biopharmaceutical company that studies T-series viruses. He is well-known in the whole Federation. If he wants to be frozen, even the top-level freezing service is not uncommon.
Originally, he was going to die peacefully in the joy of his family with his children and grandchildren around his knees, but before he died, God made a huge joke on him -
the aftermath of a sudden battle made the whole Los Angeles suffer an unparalleled disaster. The old man only remembered that he saw an endless bright light, and then completely lost his consciousness
When he woke up, he had been rescued by the federal defense machinery corps, but all his relatives, including his great granddaughter, who had just reached the full moon, died in the explosion.
It's just like a kind of irony. An old man who didn't have many days to live had survived the disaster. Instead, he was the most valued family member around him. Instead, he left himself step by step.
Is this the Lord's punishment for me?
The old man coughed and recalled all this. His eyes were full of resentment. After his death, the will originally left to his son would be invalid. After all, his son had already died. Then, the only one who got the will could be the grandson of a cousin who was far away from him. He had seen the boy, and his mind was not right. He didn't like it, and he didn't like it I have been fighting for the foundation of a lifetime, and give it to a distant relative who is almost no different from strangers.
Thinking of this, the old man's eyes suddenly gave birth to a desire to survive! However, this flash of light is fading. Now he has reached the time when the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry. Unless Allah comes, it will be too late even to freeze it?
"It's just that I can't be reconciled..." The old man sighed in secret. His cough gradually weakened. At the same time, his consciousness turned round and round. In front of him, it was as if he saw a cloud of black fog, which began to slowly devour his sight
"David Alexander?"
Just when the old man was about to lose his consciousness, a voice suddenly came from the sky. The old man's face moved. He tried his best to look at the direction of the door. However, he saw that a man full of holy light was slowly approaching him.
LORD Almighty, have you come to meet your humble servant?
The old man's lips moved, but he couldn't say a word, so he had to tell it in his heart.
"I am not your Lord." The man, who was full of brilliance, looked calm, deep and hoarse, but in his tone, he was full of bewitchment, "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, it may be extinguished at any time, but you still seem to have a wish?"
Yes, I don't want to die!
Suddenly, the old man's eyes were red. He was staring at the light and shadow in front of him, and his lips trembled.
I want to continue to live, I don't want to struggle hard for a lifetime of family property, give to a stranger! I don't like it! Almighty God, please help me!
"Ah, in that case..." The figure opened his hand slightly, and fingered it gently. Suddenly, a drop of purple blood flowed out of it. In the light of the light, it even twinkled with light!
"Then, make a contract with me." The figure showed a sympathetic smile, "I will give you endless life, beyond the power of ordinary people, so that you can continue to enjoy life in the world. And as a price, I need you to do something for me. Once it is finished, you and I will be cleared at the same time. Will you agree to this condition? "
I will, no matter what!
Without thinking about it, the old man's eyes flashed the light of desire again, just like a hungry wolf who saw flesh and blood. The pupil that was about to die of life color, unexpectedly, because of the other party's words, it once again twinkled like a knife!
"David Alexander, think about it." "Remember, once the contract is concluded, it can never be changed. If you break the contract, I will make you feel something more terrible than hell, do you understand?"I understand. I'm willing to accept any terms. Please
There was a flash of madness in the old man's eyes. When he looked at the tip of the man's finger, his heart was filled with greed and desire, because he could feel that there was something in that strange purple blood that made him yearn for the most!
This is a kind of life instinct desire. If it wasn't for him to run out of oil and light, he couldn't even stand up. I'm afraid he would even snatch that drop of blood, and then devour the mouth!
"Oh." Until this time, the man finally showed the color of satisfaction, a flick, suddenly, that drop of purple blood directly into the old man's mouth.
The look of the old man is like the devil in hell. With the drop of blood falling into the mouth, he immediately closed his mouth greedily, but the next second, he suddenly widened his eyes!
At the same time, his body and his own blood seemed to penetrate the deep 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, for the first time, he felt that his whole body was filled with an inexplicable force. At the same time, a burning feeling spread from all over his body. He was shaking, and he simply got up and raised the bucket, and poured the fresh water in the bucket into his head!
His body was filled with incomparable life force in an instant. Until he drank the whole bucket of water, the old man still felt that there was a fire burning more and more in his body, which was almost intolerable. So he simply tore up his coat and rushed out of the tent and ran towards the coastline!
Zhang Heng looked at all this in silence. He didn't say anything and didn't make any action to stop it. After more than ten minutes, the old man eliminated the heat in the sea water, and then he walked back to the tent.
However, at this time, the old man in the twilight had disappeared completely. Instead, he was a middle-aged man with a pale complexion.
In just a dozen minutes, the old man who had lived for nearly 400 years had turned into his appearance when he was less than 200 years old. Time seems to have flowed back more than 200 years on him
At this time, Alexander gradually calmed down. He touched his cheek with disbelief. The wrinkles on his face had been smoothed, and his whole body was full of long lost vitality. What was that drop of blood?
thinking of this, Alexander looked into the tent, and found that the man who had made a contract with himself was actually a face An ordinary Asian man with black hair and yellow skin, standing in a shadow, can only see the outline, but not the appearance.
The only thing we can see is the smile on the other side's mouth in the shadow
