In his short life of 18 years, Merlin has not been without strange encounters.For example, in 1980, when Merlin was 9 years old, he saw a meteor wrapped in scorching flames in the sky of his farm, crashing into the night sky to the southeast.It is said to have been a meteor that landed in Kansas, and it was one of the most sensational events of the year.There is nonsense grapevine that the meteor is actually an alien spacecraft.For example, in 1985, when Merlin was 14 years old, he watched on TV that the lake in Michigan had swelled and nearly flooded Chicago.It was also the sensational event of that year.What's more, Merlin actually remembers the vague memories of the night his parents died in the fire a month after he was born, the strange mysterious man in the blue cloak and black suit, the flames that were separated by the mysterious man, and so on.Merlin's slightly withdrawn personality was never formed because he was by nature, but because the child was luckier, or more unlucky, than other mortals.He knew from the beginning that under the guise of normality, the real trajectory of the world was something else.Those myths and stories are not all fiction.But even so, Merlin had never been in such an embarrassing situation.A person who doesn't look very normal asks Merlin to be his "son"..."
I have two fathers."
Merlin took a step back, he looked at the mysterious man in front of him, he showed the pipe wrench behind him little by little, and he said, "I'm not interested in finding a third one, so I'm sorry, I...""
Until you refuse, mortal, listen to me."
Before Merlin's refusal could be uttered, the white-haired man interrupted him.He looked at Merlin, still expressionless, and he let the dark red flames on his fingers beat, as if he was enduring extreme impatience, and said, "Your unique soul smells of death, which is beyond the reach of those stupid mortals.Your birth was accompanied by death, and you have crossed death at least once, which makes your soul purer and more precious, and in my eyes, this purity means potential. ”"Now the world is getting more and more filthy, like a pond that emits a stench, and there are fewer and fewer fish like you."
He accentuated his tone: "I am mercifully giving you strength, mortal, you should not refuse.Also, I think you should check this..."
The man's fingers scribbled in the air, and a pulsing halo of light swept in front of Merlin's eyes, and in that shattered halo he saw his father, James.
Colson.He was lying in a pool of blood, and in the chaos of the scene, there was a panicked crowd, and in front of those crowds was a shattered black pickup truck, the twisted license plate number that proved to be the car James drove to work on weekdays.It collided with a bus.Everywhere there was scattered, blood-stained glass, everywhere there were wailing wounded, everywhere there was a pervasive breath of death.And the flames...
Dancing flames.The image was not clear, but Merlin could see that in the image, James was crawling on the ground with difficulty, blood seeping through the path beneath him.He's trying to escape that hell.But just as James reached out again, the flames, the flames that erupted, completely overwhelmed everything.It was so real that Merlin even held his breath, and in the picture reflected in his eyes, he could clearly see the despair, pain and a touch of attachment in James's eyes...The suffocating picture of "hum" dispersed at this moment, Merlin's breathing became a little shorter, he looked at the white-haired man in front of him, and he said, "This is?"
”"Something will happen tomorrow."
The flame in the man's hand became fluffy a little, he looked at Merlin, and he said, "Of course, you can take it as a joke, I promise you won't notice anything unusual when you wake up from the dream, and you will sleep happily until tomorrow, and then get the news of your father's death, or..." ”"You mean, your contract?"
Merlin's mind is spinning fast, but he is also a person who has heard fairy tales and read superhero comics, and he does not think that what is in front of him is an "opportunity".So his eyes were full of doubt.This look seemed to irritate the existence in front of him, and the long hair of the white-haired man shook a little under Merlin's gaze.It was only then that Merlin realized that it was not white long hair at all, but more like white smoke formed after the flames had been extinguished.A faint flame swirled around the man's arm, and he stared at Merlin, and a fierce aura leaked out, like an invisible and heavy force, pressing on Merlin's shoulder.At this moment, the young man was carrying a mountain on his back, and he could even hear the moaning of his own bones.The white-haired man moved his arms, and the black gown on his upper body shattered and turned into burning red flames that disappeared into the air, revealing his muscular upper body, which was covered with dark red ominous magic patterns.On the man's forehead, a pair of black horns pierced the skin, and beneath the ears, a pair of thicker, bull's horn-like demonic horns appeared, as if as the final embellishment of a demon.What's even more terrifying is that on the demon's cheeks, another pair of eyes appeared, forming a strange square with his original eyes.It was as if he had released his true self, he...
No, it moved its body comfortably, and said in a deeper voice, "Phew, Mephistopheles' method doesn't work at all.It's as disgusting as the cunning of that old devil...""
Mortal, I've had enough of your twittering, and perhaps, I should stuff a ball of hellfire into your body like any other 'son', or endure the burning and grow, or be burned to ashes.""
I prefer this 'selection' approach, and most importantly, I don't like...
Your eyes!
”The white-haired man in front of him no longer concealed his strength, and the terrifying oppression, just the oppression of the breath, made Merlin's body fall to the ground, like a collapsed stone pillar."
Bang" Merlin fell to his knees in humiliation, and he struggled to get to his feet."
Good!"
The demon who no longer concealed himself nodded in satisfaction, and he rudely threw a scroll full of dark red runes in front of Merlin's eyes, and then hooked his fingers, Merlin's fingers were as if they had been slashed by thousands of blades, and blood escaped on the scroll.He was forced to sign the contract, no one respected his choice at all, and no one wanted to hear about his choice, all of which was predestined when he was pulled into this dream, no, before that."
Very well, ants should look like ants."
The demon finished the contract, he took the scroll back in satisfaction, he looked down at the wailing Merlin, and said, "The contract is complete, my 'son'."
Your precious and pure soul belongs to me, and your poor father can be 'redeemed', phew, I hate this hypocritical word, as hypocritical as the angel who invented it!
But alas, the other little guy rejected me, so...
It's only fair that there is only one in half of the 'salvation'. ”"Midnight the day after tomorrow...
The pact is officially established, that is, I will give it to you..."
The demon stretched out a dagger-like finger and pointed it at Merlin's forehead, whose face was distorted by pain, and his strange dark red eyes shone with a malicious light: "Strength!
”The world around Merlin collapsed like shattered glass at this moment, and at that moment the world collapsed, Merlin heard the demon's triumphant voice."
Mephistopheles, old fellow!
See?
I also have...
It's my 'knight'!
”And before Merlin fainted, only the last two thoughts echoed in his mind."
Who is this demon?
Mephistopheles, who is it?
”"Most importantly, it's not about saying good...
Do I have to make my own choice?
”—————————————— "Ah!
”Merlin let out a scream, and sat up from his bed as if he had been terribly frightened.He panted and stretched out his hands, moving in front of him, he looked at his intact hands, the skin and flesh of those hands were so intact that there was no sign of being cut at all.He looked out the window, where a bright moonlight was shining on Merlin's window, and outside the window was another quiet night on Coulson's farm."
A...
Dreams?
”Merlin walked to the window, he opened it, took a few deep breaths of the night air, he picked up the glass of water in his hand, and poured a mouthful of water.It didn't quite feel like a dream.Everything is too real.But if that's not a dream, doesn't that mean that James tomorrow might really...
Wrong!
Merlin's eyes narrowed, if it wasn't a dream, it meant that James wasn't going to die, because the demon had said he would live."
Ah, I might be really crazy."

Merlin grabbed his hair and went back to the bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling above him, and he said to himself, "I actually believe in the promise of a demon, I actually believe in that contract." ”"Forget it, don't let James go to work tomorrow."
Merlin closed his eyes and tried to get himself to sleep again, which he thought was difficult, but it was surprisingly simple, and a few minutes later, a faint snoring sounded in the room.And at Merlin's bedside, in the unnoticed darkness, the mysterious man in a black suit and a blue cloak was sitting there with a leisurely face, as he said, as a bystander, witnessing everything.In the darkness, he seemed to be talking to himself."
I really didn't expect that Sannomiya, who is rude and arrogant, and is the same as a barbarian, will actually have the day when he believes in the contract...
It's so polite that I don't recognize it anymore. ”"So, big guy, did you deliberately modify the world line, and also modified the character of the third palace by the way?
If you can do that, can you help me change Pandora's personality so that she doesn't bother me anymore. ”Another voice answered his question in the darkness.It was a low, hoarse voice.It's the voice of the big guy."
Of course not, Phantom Stranger, that's the power of fate.Do you really think the name of the Destiny Dice is a joke?
And one last thing, come back when you're done. ”"Of course, everything is as you wish, my overlord."
The Phantom Stranger stood up, glanced back at the sleeping Merlin, opened the window and jumped into the night, and behind him, a gentle wind blew the window, closing it again.All...
It became calm again.——————————————————— the next morning, the sun was shining and it was a really good day.Merlin, who woke up at 8 a.m., walked out of the room, and Anna.
Coulson, his mother, had already made breakfast for him and Phil.Simple bacon toast is not simple and truly delicious."
Mom, where is Dad?"
After washing, Merlin sat on the chair, picked up the toast and took a bite, well, it was still a familiar taste, he asked casually, and Mrs.
Coulson, who was busy in the kitchen, responded: "James went to work, and it is strange to say, the principal specially called this morning to ask James to go to school early." ”"Bang" The toast in Merlin's hand fell on the plate, and before he could stand up, he rubbed his eyes and walked downstairs Phil.
Coulson shouted to Merlin, "Brother, you can't imagine what kind of dream I had last night!"
A gray-haired, eccentric man asked me to sign a contract with him, but I refused, and the coolest thing is that you never think of the man's true identity.It's a...""
Demons!"
Merlin interrupted Phil, and he rushed to Phil's side, grabbed his brother's hand, and rushed to the garage.Moments later, the refueled Lola let out a roar, and the red convertible rushed out of Coulson's farm like an arrow from a string.The solemn expression on Merlin's face made Phil, who was sitting next to him, dare not speak at all, this young man had never seen his brother, who had always been wise and calm, show such an expression.Something big must have happened.Lola galloped down the road from the farm to the school, and after a twist, Merlin's eyes widened.At the end of the street in front of him, the chaotic crowd screamed and tried to flee, while in front of the crowd, black pickup trucks collided with buses, shattered, bloody glass everywhere, and wounded people everywhere.In the wreckage, a familiar figure was struggling to crawl out of the hell."
Daddy!"
Phil screamed and stood up, but was pulled down by Merlin and pressed into his seat, Merlin opened the door and ran in the direction of James, and just after he ran 100 meters..."
Boom" red, scorching, bursting of bomb-like flames...
Thoroughly, engulfing everything."
No !!"
