In the dead of night, death descended from the Maker into the sleeping city, and settled on a steeple.His gaze was like lightning, piercing through the walls of other people's houses, and saw the souls that were carried by the wings of dreams and the bodies that were at the mercy of the nightmare. When the dawn dawned, the pale moon faded away, and the market was looming like a veil, the Grim Reaper quietly came to a wealthy family, and no one stopped him when he entered the hall.The Grim Reaper stood by the rich and powerful man's bed, stroking his forehead with his hand.The man woke up with a start, and dimly saw Death standing in front of him, and couldn't help shouting in shock: "Stay away from me, you devil: get out of here, call this ghost, how did you get in here?" Yes, you thief: what do you want, you robber, go away, I am the master of this house. Go away, or I will call servants and guards to tear you to pieces!"

At this time, the god of death approached him and said in a thunderous voice: "I am the god of death, you'd better be careful, don't be so presumptuous." The rich and powerful man replied, "what do you want from me now? What do you want from me, my work is not done yet, why are you here, I am so strong, what are you going to do? You should go to those sick people, stay away from me, don't let me see you The long claws and the hair that hangs like vipers: go: I don't want to see your two big wings and your rotting body again." After a disturbing silence, the man said again: "No, no! Merciful Death, don't mind what I've just said. I'm terrified and talking nonsense. I'll give you a bucket of gold , or a group of slave souls, please hold me high and let me go. Death: I have not lived enough. I have debts to settle, debts to pay. I have some

The cargo ship is sailing at sea and has not yet reached the shore.There are still a lot of crops in the field, which have not been harvested after being planted.You can take all of this, but please let me go.I have a large group of wives, concubines and maidservants, all of whom are beautiful, you can choose as you please...Listen to me, God of Death: I have an only son, who is the jewel in my palm, where is the hope, you can also take it Go ahead, just leave me alone.You can take everything as you please, but please spare me! " At this time, the god of death covered the mouth of the earthly servant with his hands, absorbed his true soul, and let him float away with the wind.

Death walked again in the poor slums, came to a small hut, and walked in.The Grim Reaper approached a bed on which lay a young boy.The god of death looked at the peaceful face of the young man, touched his eyes, and then he woke up.When the young man saw the god of death standing beside him, he knelt down on both knees, and with a feeling of admiration and longing from the bottom of his heart, he cupped his hands and said Said: "Magnificent God of Death, here I am, I have longed for you, longing and longing. Please accept my heart; beloved, embrace me: you are merciful, you will not Abandon me here. You are the messenger of the Creator, you are the most impartial, so please don't abandon me: how many times have I looked for you, but I can't find you; how many times have I called you, but you can't Yes. Now, you have finally heard my prayer. Please grant me, fulfill my wish, embrace my heart, dear Death!"

Then, the god of death put his finger on the young man's lips lightly, took his true soul, and put it under his wings. The Grim Reaper hovered in the air, staring at the Dagan world, and said to the wind, "Only those who come from the Eternal Heaven can return there."
