After a brief shock, the pastor learned what happened from Meng Nan and others.
After looking at the "countdown" app on Meng Nan and others' mobile phones, the pastor sighed slightly: "You must have heard that story when you came here, right?"
"The prince one?" Meng Nan asked.
"That's right, a prince went out to fight. He found a woman from the jip village and asked if he could come back alive. The woman from the jip village handed him a note recording his life." The priest nodded: "He is here for
He escaped death and did not go to the battlefield, but because of this he was targeted by the devil, who wanted to torture him until the moment of his death."
"We know this story." Meng Nan nodded.
"So, what do you think the devil is?" The pastor then asked, "If what you said is correct, why does the devil do what he is doing now?"
"For punishment? For pleasure?" Meng Longlong thought.
"Yes, it's for this. My friend has studied the devil all his life, and he has encountered a similar situation to you before." The pastor said: "He tried to save these people and save these poor suffering people in the name of God, but
If he failed, not only would those people die, but he himself would be harmed by the devil."
"Are you talking about Father John? He is also dead?" Meng Nan said in a deep voice.
"Do you know him?" The pastor was stunned.
"Well, I heard that he is full of passion for the study of devils." Meng Nan said.
"Yes, maybe he is the human being who knows the devil best." The pastor sighed: "Children of the Lord, to be honest, if John is still alive, he may be able to help you a lot, but there is really nothing I can do. I can only warn you.
Something for you, in the name of God."
"Please speak." Zhao Hun said.
"First, the devil is not trustworthy. You should think more carefully when encountering something. You must not believe it easily."
"Second, if what you said is correct and the devil has increased your lifespan, then the devil must have paid a certain price, because when you die is a matter for the God of Death, and the devil has no right to change it."
"Third, as long as you firmly believe in the glory of the Lord, you will definitely be able to live." The pastor said, "That's all I can say."
With that said, the priest walked to the foot of the statue, lifted up the floor and took out a book from it, and then handed it to Meng Nan: "This is what Father John left. I hope it can be helpful to you."
"Thank you." Meng Nan nodded, took the book, and left with Meng Longlong and Qiu Haoran.
Looking at the time, there was still more than an hour before Qiu Haoran's death, so they didn't have enough time.
"What the pastor said just now gave me a wake-up call." Meng Nan looked at Meng Longlong and Qiu Haoran and said, "Why can the devil let us die a few hours later?"
"What do you think?" Meng Longlong looked at Meng Nan.
"There is no doubt that in the stories of the Bible, God has absolute authority. Neither Lucifer, the king of demons, nor Satan, the devil, can compete with God. They can only fight for some of their own interests in God's hands.
That's all." Meng Nan thought.
"When and how humans die is a matter for the God of Death. Even Satan has no right to interfere.

."
"If Satan tries to interfere with the time of human death, then the God of Death will be the first to settle accounts with Satan."
"What's the use of all this?" Qiu Haoran asked doubtfully.
"Very useful." Meng Nan closed his eyes and pondered: "Satan is not qualified to interfere with human death, so why can he extend our lifespan? In the movie, after the protagonist used a trick to deceive Satan, why can he live a few more days?"
"That's true. Why?" Meng Longlong thought: "Otherwise, the God of Death is cooperating with Satan, or else, Satan is the God of Death?"
"Yes, those are the two possibilities." Meng Nan nodded: "If Satan would make a deal with the God of Death just to play with us, I don't believe it."
"Wait a minute." Qiu Haoran said: "We are small characters after all. Even if Satan plays tricks on us, there should be no problem."
"If it's just pure killing, then there really isn't a big problem." Meng Nan shook his head: "For example, if Satan fights another devil, let alone a few people die, even if millions of people die, it won't be a problem.
What's the problem? Because in this case, death is actually still under the control of the God of Death, and the God of Death can still tell everyone: 'The reason why you died under Satan's attack is because you deserve to die.'"
"Although the countdown software can see the world of death, it does not interfere with death."
"Satan just spied on the arrangements of the God of Death, and then used this to have some fun for himself, watching people struggle before death. The God of Death doesn't care about this, as long as he dies when he deserves to die."
"But what if a person sees his own death and knows when he should die, and Satan turns to him and kills him?"
"In this case, isn't it equivalent to slapping the God of Death in the face?" Meng Longlong said: "The King of Hell told you to die at the third watch, and I told you, and then he killed you at the second watch. This is a naked provocation.
."
"That's right." Meng Nan nodded: "That's why Satan and the devil's servants will not kill us in advance."
"But what about extending our lifespan?" Meng Nan said.
"This is also a slap in the face." Meng Longlong thought about it and said, "It's like Sun Wukong going to the underworld to revise the book of life and death in Journey to the West. It's even more of a slap in the face than the previous one."
"That's right, in this case, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people, even one person would not be able to endure death." Meng Nan said, "So, there are still the two possibilities before."
"Okay, okay, what's the use of saying all this? Even if the God of Death and Satan are together, what will happen?" Qiu Haoran said.
"If Satan has stolen the power of the God of Death and has the power of the God of Death, then we will definitely die." Meng Nan looked at Qiu Haoran and said: "Just like in the movie about the God of Death, human power cannot compete with it."
"However, if Satan only cooperates with the God of Death, and the God of Death gives Satan privileges within a certain limit, then we have hope." Meng Nan said: "We can use some means to sow the relationship between the two."
"Bah bang bang!" As soon as Meng Nan finished speaking, a figure appeared behind Meng Nan.
The huge ram's horn reveals the other party's identity, it is Satan, the King of Devils!
"Satan!" Qiu Haoran suddenly
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Scream: "I still have one hour to live!"
"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you." Satan glanced at Qiu Haoran calmly, and then looked at Meng Nan: "Your reasoning is very exciting, so did you guess that I would be here?"
"Is there any need to guess this?" Meng Nan looked at Satan calmly, without a trace of dodge in his eyes: "If you want to see us struggling and in pain, then you must have been observing us. Everything I said is natural.
I can’t hide it from you anymore.”
"No, not only you, even the God of Death can't hide it." Meng Nan added.
"Oh? Then you still said it?" Satan's face showed a happy smile, as if he had discovered a very interesting toy.
"Yeah, what can I do if I tell you?" Meng Nan replied calmly: "You are the king of demons. I can't defeat you in conspiracy, but you may not be able to defeat conspiracy."
"Let's see, how do you plan to sow discord between me and the God of Death?" Satan waved his hand, and a stool appeared behind him. He sat down slowly, with a glass of red wine in his hand, and shook it gently.
.
"Actually, it's very simple. Things are back to the original situation." Meng Nan said, "We only need to prove that you lied."
"Haha, interesting statement. You said it before, I am the king of lies. Isn't it normal for me to lie?" Satan laughed.
"Yes, you are the king of lies. Your words are not trustworthy, and neither is your software." Meng Nan said, "But the God of Death is not."
"Death is one of the greatest powers in the world, and it is also one of the most rigorous things in the world. There cannot be any deviation in one minute or one second."
"The law of death is extremely mysterious, but also extremely great. It is the most just, most accurate, and most unchangeable law in the world."
"So, if we can prove that you lied and that you destroyed death, then even the God of Death will not give up."
"Have you ever seen death?" After hearing Meng Nan's words, Satan thought and looked at Meng Nan.
"Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes." Meng Nan recalled the mysterious power like a spider web that he saw in the world of "Death is Coming".
At the same time, there is one issue that Meng Nan did not mention, that is, this is the nineteenth floor of hell, and this place itself is the existence in charge of death.
So would the being who controls death belittle death in the world he created? It is obviously impossible.
"Okay, let's assume you are right." Satan nodded: "Then how do you want to prove it? Just use me to change the time of your death?"
"Of course not." Meng Nan came to Satan and looked down at Satan sitting on the chair: "But what you did gave us an opportunity, the best opportunity to prove it."
"Hahahaha!" Satan laughed suddenly, and the red wine in his laughing hand spilled out: "I gave you a chance? What chance? Tell me and listen!"
"You are Satan, the Lord of Hell, and the King of Lies. You have authority second only to God and are extremely powerful." Meng Nan said: "So, the reason why our life spans will be longer is because you use
Your authority, in the indulgence of death, has deceived the law of death."
