(1/2)
"With only one point left, I can upgrade."
Satan said.
"Continue to do good things, this is the only way." Wu Xiaode said.
"A good thing...actually, I would say that burning this prison down is the real good thing."
Satan looked towards each cell, as if looking for some "good thing".
"We must always give people a chance to change their ways. Besides, some people will not die for their crimes," Wu Xiaode said.
"That's true, come with me."
Satan took Wu Xiaode into a prison cell.
I saw a dying old man lying in the prison cell.
Satan waved his hand.
A gentle breeze emerged from the void all around.
The entire prison cell fell silent, becoming dark and quiet.
Satan came up and smelled the old man's forehead, and whispered: "Did you come in unjustly?"
The old man closed his eyes and opened his mouth with difficulty: "Who is it? How do you know?"
"I can smell all evil, this is my instinct, and there is very little evil in you, which is not enough to go to hell." Satan said.
The old man opened his eyes and looked at Satan.
Satan just looked like a gentle middle-aged man, but at this moment, the old man's heart was filled with indescribable feelings.
"Your Excellency, help me." The old man's eyes were cloudy and he gasped.
Satan glanced at Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode shrugged and said, "For the sake of points."
Satan made a motion to roll up his sleeves, and suddenly realized that he was wearing short sleeves, so he put down his hand and said in Wu Xiaode's ear:
"He is dying and can feel some of my power."
"Can you do anything for him?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"If he does enough evil, I just need to sign his name and his soul will be transformed into a devil in hell - which also helps him - but he is actually a good guy, so You can't go to hell." Satan said.
"Then what about sending him to heaven? This should be considered a good thing," Wu Xiaode said.
Satan thought for a while, stretched out his hand, pressed it on the old man's chest and said:
"Listen, I refuse you to go to hell now, and because you have endured too much suffering, there is no mother's body in the world that can accommodate you in the womb - according to the great and simple method of elimination - how about you go to heaven?"
"Can I... go to heaven?" the old man's face lit up and he said in surprise.
"Yes, even though it's not interesting there, at least you are free." Satan said.
"Thank you. If you can, please send me there." The old man said.
Satan nodded, leaned down, and said in the old man's ear: "In my name, I refuse to allow your soul to enter hell."
The words just fell.
Waves of sacred chants sounded all around, a curtain of white light fell in the air, and holy flowers could be vaguely seen blooming in the void.
An automatic elevator quietly appeared beside the old man's bed.
I saw a shadow floating up from the old man's body and landing gently in front of the automatic elevator.
——This is going to heaven.
The old man looked at Satan and Wu Xiaode gratefully.
Satan's face was expressionless.
Wu Xiaode smiled and nodded at him.
The old man also nodded and reached out to press the elevator button.
The elevator doesn't move.
--What's happening here?
Wu Xiaode looked in surprise and saw the words clearly written on the elevator door:
"Direct to heaven, 50 grams of gold once, thank you for your patronage."
The old man spread his hands and cried helplessly.
"Sure enough, we encountered a special situation."
The plain way of Satan.
"Special circumstances? You mean the elevator charges?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"No, when most people die, they can somehow raise some money to travel, but this old man has been in prison for half his life and has very little money, so it is extremely rare that he becomes a soul who cannot raise enough money for travel," Satan said.
Wu Xiaode numbly took out a piece of gold and handed it to Satan.
"You give it to him - this is a good thing you have done." Wu Xiaode said.
"good."
Satan handed the gold to the old man.
Ding dong!
With a pleasant sound, the elevator door opened instantly.
Satan smiled and said:
"Look, now you should know why I left heaven."
"I heard that money can make ghosts go around - doesn't hell accept money?" Wu Xiaode asked in surprise.
Satan shut his mouth.
I saw the old man was about to enter the elevator when something suddenly happened——
His figure quietly disappeared in front of the elevator.
The piece of gold also fell from mid-air onto the prison bed.
The elevator to heaven and all the surrounding phenomena completely disappeared.
There was silence all around.
Wu Xiaode didn't know why and said: "Isn't he rich? Why didn't he get on the elevator? Where did he go?"
Satan picked up the gold first, with a deep and cold look on his face:
"I thought that after the prison of sin awakened, it would be open to the souls of the dead, but now it seems that it is not."
Wu Xiaode somewhat understood, but did not answer, just waiting for what he would say next.
Satan continued: "The Prison of Sin is a technique that creates countless parallel worlds. Everyone lives and dies in the technique, and there is no way to leave."
"Unless you gain the power of death, you can leave the prison of sin, reach death, and become the real prison escapee."
Wu Xiaode said: "But I have seen people successfully leave the prison of crime, and they did not awaken any power of death."
——Underground in the parallel world No. 5432, he once helped a person escape from prison.
That person succeeded.
Satan sneered and said: "Without the recognition of the power of death, there is no way to truly escape from the prison of sin. That person thinks he is out, but in fact he is not."
"Not really?" Wu Xiaode didn't understand.
"Yes, when he dies next time, his soul will return to the prison of sin and be reincarnated."
"From that moment on, the prison's restrictions on him will become even more severe."
Satan sighed and said: "He will never have a chance to awaken. He has no idea what a parallel world is and will live and die in the prison of sin forever."
He took out the character card.
Wu Xiaode looked at the cards with him.
——The saved people did not go to heaven.
Living a lifetime is just an illusion in the end? Is it a fantasy?
This is really sad.
Wu Xiaode changed his mood and asked: "Did you get any points for what happened just now?"
"I don't know either. It depends on the sentence of the prison." Satan said.
Waited for a few breaths.
I saw a few lines of small words appearing on the card:
"You did an excellent job with hospice care."
