Angel Realm

"Lilith!" Samuel asked in surprise, "What's the matter with you, Al is here, don't you always miss him?"

"Let him go." Lilith didn't answer him, but kept repeating this sentence.

Even though no one could see his expression, Gabriel still couldn't restrain his wry smile.

"Lilith, please let me see you."

It was only natural that Lilith didn't want to see him.He had done too much to her, his soul was mean and filthy, and he had no right to face her.

But only this time, the last time, please make him keep his word.

There was a long silence in the room.

"Lilith," Gabriel lowered his eyes, tried his best to suppress his trembling, and said to her in Lilith's most familiar voice, "please let me see you, one last time, please let me see you again."

There was some noise in the room, followed by Lilith's suppressed voice.

"Go, Al." There was a hint of crying under the depression, "I don't want to see you, you go."

"Lilith!" Samuel exclaimed, turning around to block Gabriel who was still outside the door, "Al, you can't see her for now, but please wait a moment, she needs you very much."

Gabriel's hands clenched in the cloak were almost bleeding, but he still said to Samuel in a comforting voice: "Don't worry Samuel, I won't leave, you go and see her, I'll wait Outside the door."

Samuel hesitated for a moment, and finally closed the door.

The surroundings returned to a deathly silence, and the still hovering dark creatures watched the angel carefully.

The angel stood, and his straight figure moved slightly.It was really a tiny movement, but the monsters could clearly feel that the powerful angelic power had weakened, and the originally overflowing brilliance gradually faded, until it was almost shapeless in the end.His body was still straight, but in their eyes, it was already a collapsed body.

They became active due to the weakness of the angels, wandering around, screaming silently, passing messages to each other, and discussing boldly and cautiously to divide up the delicious food.

Gabriel felt more tired than ever.

Flying over the Dead Sea put a huge burden on his current body. In order not to let Samuel find out, he had to fully support the coercion that could have been emitted naturally, and now the monsters around him made him unable to rest.

Samuel protected the wooden house very well, and it was impossible to hear the movement inside.

Gabriel stood alone in front of the cabin, motionless.

Lilith.

"Lilith," Samuel didn't touch the sitting Lilith, he walked to her side and tried not to look too impatient, "Why don't you want to see Al."

Lilith's body was surrounded by a big black cloak, almost blending into the darkness. "I can't see him now, Samuel, you don't understand."

"You can make me understand, my child." At this time, Samuel had almost the same patience as Gabriel, "You want to see him so much, and you need him too."

"No..." Lilith knelt on the ground, covered her face with her hands, and looked very fragile, "I don't want him to see me like this, I can't see him."

Samuel wanted to hug her, but rationally stopped such behavior.He sighed and comforted softly: "It's nothing like Lilith, you can still become as beautiful as before..."

"I don't care about that," Lilith covered her face, "but I'm so scared, I don't want this kind of self to remain in Al's memory, even if he doesn't mind."

"Lilith..."

"And he's going to be sad."

"He's just as sorry to hear you don't want to see him."

Lilith stopped sobbing and was silent for a while before she said stubbornly: "He said the last time, Samuel, after this time, will I have no chance to see him again?"

"Opportunities are always in your own hands." As a maverick angel, Samael has a very rare idea.

"...You let me think again."

"No problem at all, my child," Samuel joked softly, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed. "The most patient angel in the kingdom of heaven is waiting outside the door. You can think about it for a while. But I'm going out to find today for you." food, so if you decide, just open the door yourself."

"Um……"

When Samuel opened the door again, Gabriel was still standing there without moving a step.

"Is Lilith okay?"

Samuel walked out of the wooden house and closed the door, his expression became serious.

"Al, are you really willing to help her? I mean, although I heard from Lilith that you treated her very well and your kindness cannot be questioned, it would do you a lot of harm. Are you really Willing?"

There was no doubt about the answer to this question for Gabriel, but such a question was a kind of torture for him.

Lilith was never his.

"Yes Samael, I am willing. No matter what, Lilith is entrusted to me by the Father. Even if she betrays the kingdom of heaven, I still have the responsibility to ensure her safety before the Father withdraws that will."

"Really." Samael asked softly, and smiled mockingly, "You are really the most loyal servant of God the Father."

Gabriel lowered his head slightly, "Thank you for your compliment."

"Okay," Samuel spread his hands, "I have to find food for Lilith, and I'll probably be late when I come back."

"She should figure it out before long, but you'll have to wait here until she opens the door."

"I can't question your love for him, but I still want to remind you not to be frightened by her appearance, it will hurt her."

"Also... please take care."

"Father God bless." Gabriel opened his arms vainly.

Samuel hugged him firmly, "Damn Father God!"

Gabriel watched him leave, until the figure disappeared, and finally became weak.He took off his hood, and his pale skin and long, faded hair made him look somewhat unreal.

He raised his hand and cast a few spells to silence the clamoring monsters temporarily, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door was not locked, and a gap opened slightly with the sound.

"Lilith," he said, "listen to me, please."

No voice answered him.

"Father God asked me to take you back...I also hope that you can return to the kingdom of heaven, to the Garden of Eden...and also, to come back to me." He sincerely and earnestly described his thoughts.

The room was as silent as ever.

"But these are not the most important, Lilith," the angel's voice was soft and gentle, "I just want to see you now...I miss you very much."

Gabriel's voice is always as gentle and clear as if soaked in a sweet spring. He doesn't need eloquence that can boast things to the sky, and he doesn't need sweet words at all.As long as he narrates plainly, simple words can touch the hearts of others.

At least, Lilith didn't have the slightest resistance to that.

The wooden door finally opened some.

A black figure stood inside the door, only half of his figure was exposed.She seemed to have her head down, her big hat drooping over her face.

"Lilith..." Gabriel reached out his hand to touch her, but she moved back to avoid it.He withdrew his hand injured, and said in a warm voice, "Long time no see."

Lilith's hand on the door frame was also covered by the cloak, and she seemed to be completely submerged in the dark space behind her as long as she stepped back a little.

"Long time no see Al."

None of them expected that meeting again would be such an ordinary opening.But perhaps it was because of this ordinaryness that an indescribable sadness arose in their hearts.

The subsequent silence made them silent for a while. It was unknown how long they had been here, but it was Gabriel who spoke first, "How have you been during this time?"

Lilith's answer was short and perfunctory, as if she didn't want to say more. "Not too bad."

"...Then let me see you."

"You have seen it now, you can go." She said as if to close the door.

"Lilith!" Gabriel pressed the door frame with his right hand to prevent her from retreating, and begged her sadly and tenderly, "Please don't reject me like this."

Lilith froze, like a frightened little animal, but finally she didn't flinch and escape.

Gabriel stretched out his left hand tentatively, and then slowly lifted her hat away.

He saw her face clearly.

Lilith lowered her head slightly, her long flaxen hair looked like a thread of satin stained with blood-colored dye, two pieces of silver coin size had fallen off near her forehead, where horny short cones grew, the original honey-colored health Her skin has faded to pale white, and large red patches that look like burn marks are all over her face, and her amber pupils are mixed with cloudy dark red—she has been infected to the verge of decay.

"No!" Lilith screamed as if suddenly regretting, her face was full of panic and uneasiness, and she didn't dare to look up at the angel standing in front of her.

She wanted to turn around and flee, but her feet seemed to be fixed there.

Angels love beautiful things, so they are also very sensitive to ugly things.

Lilith's heart was firmly occupied by fear.She originally had an appearance that was called a gift from the gods, praised by angels, and made her proud.More importantly, that appearance is also favored by the Archangel Water.

The cruelest thing in the world is that the flowers wither and the sun fade away.The once beautiful contrasted her ugliness and embarrassment even more now.

She covered her face with her hands, but Gabriel could see her fingers clearly.Lilith's delicate hands were severely corroded, and some of the fingertips had already exposed the phalanges, and the bones were blackened by the evil spirit, which was terrifying.

Gabriel finally knew what Samael meant.

"Lilith, please look at me." He concealed his distress and pity, and pleaded, "I miss you very much."

"No, Al." Lilith shook her head stubbornly, "You will definitely hate me."

Gabriel pressed it lightly, but when he got closer, he still couldn't touch Lilith.

"Why do you misunderstand me like this?" He said to her in a tone that was heartbroken by the other party, "I swear to Father God, Lilith, just like I said before, I like you, and I will never be I hate you, please look at me."

The girl hesitated, hesitated, and said with a final struggle, "I'm already so ugly now, you won't like me anymore."

Gabriel's heart ached at her words.Lilith has a natural cheerfulness and self-confidence in her temperament, she shouldn't be so inferior, and she shouldn't suffer these pains.

"Please believe me Lilith, you know, I have never lied, you are still beautiful, and I still like you, please don't ignore me." He was almost begging.

It was really hard for Lilith to refuse such Gabriel.She raised her head with tears in her eyes, her pupils were chaotic.The not too bright light made her unable to see the other person's appearance clearly, only the familiar outline let her know that standing in front of her was the angel she most wanted to see but was afraid of seeing.

"Lilith, I've been thinking about you."

Lilith once again believed in her heart that Al had the power to see through her heart.His every word, every action, and even every expression can give her great comfort.He seems to be able to know what she fears and desires most in her heart, and he constantly satisfies her, tolerates her, and almost never disappoints her.

Every time he said "I miss you", Lilith confirmed her important position in his heart. He never lied but told her that she was still beautiful like this. He was punished because of her and met again without saying a word. blame.He said he wanted her to go back to him.

She could hardly help but agree.

"Al, I miss you too." She cried, unable to resist the angel's approach any longer.

"Don't cry, Lilith."

Gabriel wanted to wipe away the tears for her, but felt the hot temperature when his fingers touched her cheek.Lilith snorted even more, showing a painful expression.
