12:3 I will bless those who bless you,

I will curse anyone who despises you,

All the peoples of the earth shall bless one another in your name

--"Genesis"

"...A few days ago, the 'Adventists' announced that the Acting Pope Daniel Wright will continue to cooperate with the 'Children of Light' to go to the Jay Bay Federal Prison in the United States to hold the deathbed mass for the most terrifying serial killer in history, 'Red Deer'. This is This measure has been protested by a large number of believers before... Daniel Wright's "Road to Heaven" activity, that is, the deathbed confession of this felon, has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people in the preparatory stage...Many people said that "light Son'EL should not have had contact with them...Daniel Wright said that even prisoners are eligible for humanitarian end-of-life care, which should not be narrowly criticized..."

Carlton Wormington turned off the radio in some irritation.He pushed away the chair, stood up from behind the black oak desk, and walked to the window made of gray metal frame and bulletproof glass.

This is the fourth unusually hot summer day under the influence of the El Nino phenomenon. The sun is shining brightly, and the sky is a whole piece of pure, almost dazzling blue, without a trace of cloud or shadow.Carlton Warmington looked out of the window, and the air was slightly distorted near the grayish-yellow ground of the small playground not far away.The prisoners hiding in the shadows were like lifeless gray rocks. No one was moving around, there was no fight, no dispute - even moving one's fingers in such heat would be a great pain.

——It seems that high temperature has become a more effective and harsh jailer than humans.

The words came to Carlton Warmington's head, and he felt a trance of humor, and then the corners of his mouth lifted-and then he found that his face seemed to be made of a cage of wax. Masks, even a small smile becomes extraordinarily difficult.

Compared with the hot outside, the air conditioner in the office was fully turned on. Carlton felt as if his fingers and toes were soaked in ice water. However, he wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and found that his head His face was covered in cold sweat.

Carlton was nervous, he had to admit, rare for a man of his stature.After all, as the warden of the Jay Bay Federal Prison, which is known as the most heavily guarded prison in the United States, his daily job is to deal with the most hopeless and unpardonable felons.After so many years, Carlton thought that his nerves had been polished by those demons in human skin to be harder than steel wire, but he never thought that one day his emotions would be so ups and downs because of the arrival of a 13-year-old boy Uncertain, restless.

"I still don't know ... don't know if it was the right decision."

He sighed, and muttered softly, in his voice was a kind of weakness that would only be revealed in front of very close people.

"God will make your choices brave and wise."

A hoarse voice answered the warden's question.

Imogen Paine walked slowly to the warden's side, his black cassock trembling as he walked, like an overly thick shadow.He is the kind of old man who makes people feel reliable and kind. He is tall, his hair and eyebrows have turned snow-white under the influence of time, but his complexion is more ruddy than most middle-aged people who are busy running around.He looks a bit like Santa Claus, but only "looks" like him, in fact, the kids are always scared of him, as are some of the pet dogs.Some sensitive people will instinctively stay away from him.

"Oh, that's probably the downside of being a prison chaplain." Occasionally, Imogen Paine would complain to his old friend. "Watching so many death row inmates die in the electric chair, there will always be some dead people on their bodies in the end."

As a pastor, Imogen Paine has an indescribable and wonderful aura that makes people feel a little scared.

But for Carlton, it's this breath of Imogen Paine that makes him seem extra convincing and dependable.

"I don't know, Imogen, I admit that you convinced me... But I still feel that there is something wrong, should I say it? A sixth sense? Anyway, I have a bad feeling..." Carlton took off his glasses and wiped his sweaty nose pads with a handkerchief.

"What's that kid's name, you really think he can appease that demon..."

"El, please call him El (EL)—" Imogen interrupted Carlton abruptly, and when he mentioned that person, Imogen's eyes flashed intense happiness and Worship, "You can also call him 'the Son of Light'. He is the dead of God, the living Messiah, the redemption of this world."

The prison priest's hand was habitually held on the cross on his chest, and an oval photo covered with a crystal shell was inlaid in the middle of the cross.

The photo shows the face of a young boy.

——That is El, or the "Child of Light".

Seeing his old friend's over-excited look, Carlton twitched his nose uncomfortably. He glanced at the photo on the cross and must admit that it was indeed a very beautiful boy.

Yes, he used the word "beautiful".

It's hard to describe the boy's face in words, at least Carlton can't describe it, it's pure, beautiful, balanced, perfect, you can't find anything inappropriate in that face Or unattractive parts, with the long platinum hair and the rare deep violet eyes - Carlton only felt that the photo was more like an image synthesized by a computer.Seriously, if it weren't for the boy's wings, Carlton would really only think that the so-called Adventists, the so-called "the LORD's angel" were just a botched hoax.

But those wings do exist.

No one could ignore the Adventist Son of Light, the "Angel of God," or, as some would say, the "Christ in the flesh"—no one could ignore the wings on that boy.

The boy was born with pure wings.

Those are a pair of real beautiful wings grown from human flesh, huge and gorgeous, with feathers as white as snow, shining like pearls.

Three years ago, when he appeared in front of the world with those wings, the whole world became a sensation. According to a survey, even some once staunch atheists had their own beliefs because of the appearance of this real "angel". Suspect.

And when the owner of those gorgeous wings is such a boy with inhuman beauty, the Adventists' claim of "angels come" has an almost magical credibility, and it spreads like a plague throughout the country. Diffuse.

Carlton couldn't even tell when the mania for "angels" infected his old friend. Anyway, when he realized, Imogen Paine had already declared that he would take his purest Faith is sent to the "angel", who has the Adventist seal on his body and wears the Adventist "angel" cross.Carlton had tried to calm him down, but Imogen's violent reaction had embarrassed Carlton.An aged and devout priest who declares himself a member of Adventism is not a departure from God's pointed path.

"...On the contrary, I am heading precisely towards the position of the Supreme One."

This is what he told Carlton.

And as the number of people around him who believed in and worshiped the "Child of Light" gradually increased, even Carlton couldn't help feeling shaken—it was precisely because of this that he agreed to Imogen's suggestion in a strange way, so that the A real angel "comes down" to Jay Bay Federal Penitentiary to say his last prayers for "Red Deer"...the demon who brought Jay Bay Federal Penitentiary into the public spotlight.

This should have been Imogen's job.Part of his job as a prison chaplain is to prepare death row inmates to die.

However, the situation of "Red Deer" itself is different from other ordinary death row prisoners - yes, compared with "Red Deer", those terrible state-level felons are suddenly compared to "ordinary" prisoners .

Carlton has spent almost his entire life in prison (which is ironic, but in fact he has spent more time in prison as warden than most prisoners), but has never seen "Red Deer" like this. people.

He frightened Carlton--Carlton hated to admit it, but he knew it, and he couldn't deny his fear of the Red Hart.That is not an emotion that can be controlled with reason.

In fact, during the short time he met Red Deer, the serial killer was even polite.In terms of statistics, "Red Deer" doesn't have the cruelest way of killing people, nor does he have the largest number, but he is the most "evil"——no, no, no, he feels like He is part of the "evil" himself.

People who can stay in a ghostly place like Jay Bay for such a long time always have a keen sixth sense, and Carlton is one of the best.Almost at the first glance of "Red Deer", Carlton saw pure darkness from the man's pupils.

——It was like staring into the abyss.

Until now, Carlton can still clearly recall the feeling at that moment, as if countless snakes slowly squirmed past the cuffs and neck, breathing would start to become difficult, and he had to clench the muscles inside his cheeks So as not to tremble.

At least on the surface, Carleton maintained his composure.

"Red Deer" smiled subtly at him.

"Don't be afraid, it's just dust on the door."

He said.

The author has something to say: EL refers to God...

In order to prevent people from being confused, let me explain that this unlucky baby is our little Shou Calvin.

Well, I was still a little boy at this time.
