All living beings in hell

Chapter 136 - The Book Prisoner

The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed No. 90 No. [-] customer.

There were three polite knocks on the door, and I waited for a while, but no one entered.

"Come in." I said loudly.

A young man's voice came from the door: "My lord, please open the door!"

"The door is not locked, just push the door."

"My lord! Please open the door! I am the postman from Hell!"

I raised my eyebrows and went to the door to push it open.A young werewolf in a postman's uniform was standing at the door. When he saw me, he hurriedly took out a package wrapped in kraft paper from the postman's bag and stuffed it into my hand.

"Master writing, this is your No.90 guest No. [-] entrusting me to deliver it to you, please sign for it here. Ah, the pen is dropped."

The little wolf picked up the pen in a panic, and handed me the receipt.The sender's column says "God of the Prophecy Book", and the recipient's name is my name.

"Where's my guest?"

"The guest is in this cowhide parcel."

"Okay, I see, thank you for your hard work."

The little wolf stood up straight and saluted me, and replied loudly, "I'm not working hard!"

Then he turned around and jumped off a tall tree, and ran away immediately after falling to the ground.

I walked into the office suspiciously with the kraft paper package, lit a stick of incense, and sat behind the wooden table looking at the package for a while.From the appearance point of view, this package is a rectangular cuboid, with no obvious stains or scratches on the surface, and the ordinary ones cannot be ordinary.Put your ears on it, and there is no obvious sound.I hesitated, and tore off a corner of the kraft paper.

A green velvet cover was exposed, which felt like a thin layer of moss.

I accelerated the speed of unpacking, and the kraft wrapping paper was randomly crumpled into balls and thrown on the ground. Inside the package was a not-thick book.Viewed from the side, the cover of the book is made of thick flannelette, and the sides of the pages seem to be hot-foiled with gold.The book is gorgeous both tactilely and visually, and is in such good condition that its age cannot be guessed.

I picked up the book and tried to open it, but no matter what, I couldn't.I turned the book upside down and saw a small keyhole just above the spine.There was a slight vibration from the cover of the book, as if an electric current was rushing through my fingertips.I was startled, let go suddenly, and the book fell on the table.

A few blue runes appeared on the cover, but quickly disappeared, reverting to the plain green velvet cover.

I turned my head to look at the keyhole. The keyhole had a strange hexagram pattern. I didn't know what kind of key could open the book.Curious, I put my fingertips on the keyhole.Another feeling of electric current passing through the body, and the combination of runes continued to appear on the cover of the book.The blue runes gradually combined into words.

"Writing, I am the No. 90 guest No. [-], and my name is Fan De."

I tried to speak to the cover of the book: "I see these words, Vander."

The runes on the cover of the book continue to be combined into different words: "I have been locked in this book for more than two hundred years because I offended the angel Raphael. I can't move independently, so please postman coyotes to bring me here. "

"Fand, why did you find me today?"

"Raphael has three covenants with me. If I can fulfill these three covenants, I will be freed from the book."

"Which three appointments?"

"The first covenant is to fulfill one person's wish; the second covenant is to let the first person who fulfills the wish fulfill another person's wish; the third covenant is to let the second person who realizes the wish save a drowning person. "

"How much have you done?"

"For more than two hundred years, I have been trapped in books. I am ashamed to say that I only fulfilled the first and second promises."

"How did you realize the first agreement?" I became curious.

"The postman coyotes was not a postman before, but a thief who sneaked around in hell and often sneaked into various officials' houses to steal gold and silver. I was originally a book kept in the ancient library in the underworld, but was touched by the coyotes. Go. But this is also just right, since Raphael made the three promises to me, I have been staying in the Library Pavilion unable to move. Now I can finally show my fist.

To put it simply, after the coyotes got me, they found that they could communicate with me by touching the keyhole.I lied to him, saying that I am the god of the book of prophecy, living in the book.Just do what I say, and a wish will come true.Coyote wants a job in hell, and he doesn't want to sit around all day.So I gave him a solution, and he did as I told him to become a postman from hell. "

"According to the content of the second covenant, the little wolf should take the initiative to fulfill other people's wishes. This is very simple. As a postman, the job function of the little wolf is to deliver the letters and packages that people expect to be sent to different places. People's wish. So from the day the little wolf became a postman, the second covenant was also fulfilled."

I felt the book under my hands vibrate a few times, as if I was smiling: "Exactly, now just wait for the third one."

"However, seeing that Xiaolang's business is so unfamiliar today, he has only become a postman not long ago."

"Three days."

"Two of the hundred-year agreements can be completed within three days. I wonder what the husband did before his death? How did he offend the angel Raphael? As far as I know, Raphael has a gentle personality and doesn't get angry easily."

The rune quickly generated three words: "Philosopher."

The philosopher's handwriting was erased, and the following line read: "A philosopher who questioned the gods and human nature."

"Then how did you offend Raphael?"

"After I died, I laughed at the emptiness of healing power and the fragility of the human body at the gate of heaven. Raphael came to the gate and asked me why I felt the emptiness of healing power.

I answer, because life is mortal, and no healing power can prevent death.If it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, then it is useless and empty.

Raphael asked me again, why am I lamenting the fragility of the human body?

I answer, a body of flesh and blood is neither protected by armor nor protected by claws.In the wild, we can only sit and wait to be eaten by wild beasts, and we can only pray for God's blessing in the face of infectious diseases.

Raphael said that my understanding was superficial and I only saw the cover of the book.

I said Raphael is pedantic, how can a high-ranking angel understand the difficulties of life, old age, sickness and death?

Raphael said, I can't enter heaven in this way, but if I can fulfill the three promises, I can avoid the pain of punishment in hell.I didn't want to go to hell, and felt that the three promises were not difficult, so I agreed.Afterwards, Raphael sealed me in a book residence, and put me in the library in the underworld for more than two hundred years. "

"If the drowning person never shows up, are you willing to wait?"

"As long as the coyotes keep sending letters, the net will get bigger and bigger, and the chances of saving the drowning people will get bigger and bigger."

"What if there were no drowning people in hell?"

"The agreement doesn't mention the limitation of time and space. The person whose wish is fulfilled is considered to be reincarnated. As long as one drowning person can be saved, that's fine."

"Then what do you want to do before that?"

There are no new runes on the cover of the book, and Fan De should be thinking in the book.After a while, the runes converged into one word: Wait.

"Are you willing to wait in a few hundred years? Are you willing to wait in a few thousand years?"

"There is no other way."

"Why do you think Raphael did this?"

"Angel's contract is always inexplicable and full of arrogance."

I asked again: "Why do you think Raphael did this?"

"Because I offended him."

I asked again: "Why do you think Raphael did this?"

"If I can neither go to heaven nor go to hell, then I can only stay in the book. Although the book is empty and dark, at least I don't have to suffer."

"If you leave this book in hell, then your soul will enter hell, so don't you still need to suffer from flesh and blood?"

The cover of the book was silent, and after a while, a line of words appeared: "I've been tricked."

"What trick did you fall for?"

"Without redemption from the start, I was doomed to hell."

"Then what should we do now? Little Wolf has already started delivering packages."

"Burn me, end my wretched soul."

"I can't do that without this spell."

No new text appeared on the cover of the book for a long time, and although there was no sound in the office, I seemed to be able to imagine Fan De yelling in despair and desolation in the space of the book.

After a while, a new line of words finally appeared on the cover of the book: "I accept my fate."

"Why did you accept your fate?"

"My lord, can you fulfill one of my wishes?"

"You talk about it first."

"Please throw me out of your office as far as possible, and let me land in a random corner of this land. It doesn't matter if it is picked up by a ghost or by a god. I am a Objects can be taken anywhere."

"You want to make cocklebur seeds and hang them on animals, so maybe you have a better chance of leaving hell?"

"Let fate decide where I go. Wherever I go, I will gladly take it."

I lowered my head and thought for a while, then whispered, "Okay."

Two words appeared on the cover: "Thank you."

When the fingertip leaves the keyhole, the feeling of over-electricity disappears.I picked up the book, pushed open the door of the office, walked to the thick branch of the big tree, rubbed the cover of the book twice with my palm, and said softly: "No matter where you will go next, I wish you good luck. "

The book was lifted over my shoulders, and I hurled it like a frisbee with all my might.The book was spinning in the air, and I watched it finally fall, and I don't know where it landed in hell.
