The Little King Next Door

Messiah looked out the window, his father was talking to the pastor in high spirits, and his mother was smiling and accepted the fruit basket and other food from someone who didn't know where.

He also saw patients in wheelchairs being pushed out of the car and came to his door, and the pastor stepped forward and said something to them.

The thin woman in the wheelchair looked up to the second floor...

Messiah flinched.

"Hey, why are you in a daze again?" Good friend Jon came in through the window.

Messiah pursed his lips and whispered, "I want to go to school, but my father said I'm not suitable for school now."

"Is it because of what happened last time?" Jon sat beside him.

Messiah nodded and crossed his knees.

But Jon patted him on the shoulder and said, "That was really cool last time! Whoever let that idiot Mark bully you, he deserved what happened to him like that."

Messiah hid his eyes: "Everyone is afraid of me."

"No, they are surprise miracles!" Jon waved his arms excitedly: "Do you understand that is a miracle? Mark swollen your eyes, and his eyes were pecked blind by crows. This is..."

"Stop talking." Messiah couldn't listen.

Jon looked sideways at his friend with complicated eyes. He didn't understand why the Messiah would be afraid of God's grace. Wouldn't it be good to be favored by God? Wouldn't it be good to gain God-like abilities?

He can't get what he wants.

"I heard from your mother that your family is going to hold a mass nearby? I heard that there is an online registration, and many people will attend. Do you need my help?" Jon asked enthusiastically.

Messiah shook his head and looked at his friend with his eyes open: "I don't want to go."

"You don't want to go to Mass? Why?"

"My father will let me go on stage, and let me perform miracles..." Messiah said with great shame.

Jon: "Wouldn't that be nice? You can help people stop suffering, get people who can't walk back on their feet, people who can't see see again, people with cancer who can live, and you'll be everyone's hope , become the object of their adoration and reverence."

Messiah shook his head, he was willing to help others, but he was unwilling to be surrounded by so many people, and so many people called his name.

At the last mass, he only healed a patient, and his father stirred up the emotions of the whole room. The big tent was full of people shouting frantically. They longed to touch him, longed for him to stretch out his hand. surrounded by people...

It frightened him, it suffocated him.

"I want to be healthy, but I don't want the ability to perform miracles. If possible, I hope God can take away my ability. I just want to be an ordinary person." Messiah can only tell his true thoughts to his friends .

Jon only felt that the Messiah would not be blessed even though he was blessed. If it was him...

"But God has taken a fancy to you. You see, you are called Messiah. Everyone says that you are the rebirth of the Son of God. And the pain you are feeling now is what you must bear as the Son of God." Jon imitated the tone of adults Said.

Messiah bowed his head.

Because of brittle bones, he has been living alone. The ridicule and sympathy of others have made him extremely sensitive, and he doesn't like to contact the outside world. He is used to loneliness.

Jon's family moved here two years ago. Jon's personality is lively and outgoing. Because of Jon's initiative, they became friends.

He likes Jon very much, because Jon can do things he can't do, because Jon has the character he yearns for and is active.

But now he felt that Jon had become weird, and he could clearly feel Jon's jealousy of him sometimes.

Jon also asked how he obtained the divine favor, and he was vague, and Jon was very upset about this, thinking he was hiding something.

"The mass will start tomorrow. If you don't want to stay at home, let's go for a walk." Jon suggested.

Messiah didn't want to lose this friend, so he generally wouldn't refuse Jon's proposal, and besides, he really didn't want to stay at home.

Two teenagers who were only thirteen or fourteen years old sneaked out of the house.

They are riding bicycles, chasing each other happily.

Messiah loves the vigor, stomping hard on his pedals and letting the wind in his face, the health he's longed for for years.

He thanked God for his recovery.

He also sometimes felt that he was asking too much. God gave him such a miraculous ability, so he should accept it instead of...

Messiah squeezed the brakes and stepped on the ground with one foot: "Jon, where are we going?"

Jon also squeezed the brakes, turned his head, and said happily: "Go to that cave. We haven't been there for a long time."

"No, I don't want to go." Messiah turned the car around.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Jon rode over to stop him.

"Why don't you want to go there? Didn't you always want to go on an adventure with me? We only went once last time, when you were not in good health, you were in a wheelchair, and we didn't go very far. Now you are in good health, Wouldn't it be good for us to go exploring again?" Jon asked strangely.

"No, I don't want to go," Messiah insisted.

"There must be a reason, right?" Jon was upset.

"I don't like the dark, it's too dark in there."

"Coward. You are the son of God! You can perform miracles, but how can you be afraid of the dark? Let's go, let's go around, and you should accompany me."

Messiah still shook his head, and even begged a little: "Jon, let's go to another place to play. I really don't like that place. It's terrible. Really, don't go in there again."

Seeing him like this, Jon curled his lips, "Okay, let's go play somewhere else."

Messiah breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Jon.

In the worm's nest, Jin Bao jumped onto Wang Ye's shoulder: "Dad, I'll bet you ten pieces of toffee that this boy named Jon will run to that cave alone."

Wang Ye flicked Jinbao: "No bet. Is there still a need to bet on such an obvious thing?"

Jin Bao rolled his eyes, and said again: "Then I'll make another bet with you, the bet that the friendship between Messiah and Jon will break down, 100 yuan toffee."

Wang Ye grabbed Jin Bao and threw it on Xiao Yun: "Don't think about eating candy all day long, be careful with your teeth."

"My teeth are very good. We dragons are not as fragile as you humans." Jin Bao deliberately opened his mouth to reveal his small teeth.

"Dragon? Are you not an elf?" Wang Ye laughed.

Jin Bao tilted his head: "I am also an elf. If I want to become a dragon, I will become a dragon. If I want to be an elf, I will become an elf."

"Be careful that you become completely different." Wang Ye followed the two teenagers.

Wang Ye was very surprised when he saw Messiah for the first time.

Because this Messiah is somewhat different from the Son of God he remembered in his previous life.

He remembered that the report mentioned that the Messiah, the son of God, was blond, tall, and handsome, like a real god descending to the world.

But the boy in front of him, even though he was the same age, looked much thinner than him.

And he wasn't blond at all, but brown-haired and gray-eyed.

It can't be that when this boy grows up, he deliberately dyed his hair and wore colored contact lenses in order to look more like a god, right?

It was Jon who climbed in through the window, with brilliant fair hair and blue eyes, but with more freckles on his face, and a flat nose.

In the evening, when Messiah returned home, his family had discovered that he was not at home and scolded him.

Messiah listened to his parents' reproaches in silence, and ate his dinner in silence.

Wang Ye followed Messiah himself, and sent a floating light worm to follow Jon.

"This boy does not have the energy of evil gods, he is a transcendent who awakened naturally." Zong Lao judged.

"Mind Master, I mean what I want. As long as I think, it can come true. It is one of the most powerful abilities. If this young man grows up, maybe he can really become the god of the earth." Jin Spider sighed.

Wang Ye exclaimed: "So powerful? But his internal energy and spiritual power are indeed very strong, even stronger than Fang Lao and Li Fan. I thought Yao Hao was the first awakened person, but I didn't expect Messiah to wake up half a year ago. Awakened."

"Beyond the sky, there is a sky, and there are people beyond people." Chong Laoxiao taught his disciples.

Wang Ye nodded calmly. He never thought that he was the strongest. He was just a little stronger than ordinary people. Besides, he had a lifetime of experience.

And his goal in this life is not to be the strongest. He only needs to be the strongest magician among the pharmacists, the strongest scroller among the magicians, and the strongest scroller among the scrollers. The strongest alchemist, he is the strongest healer among alchemists... that's good.

"Do you want to use spiritual hints to ask him what happened half a year ago?" Jin Spider asked very interestedly.

"This child's mental power is a bit unstable, but his mental power is extremely strong. The mental suggestion may not be effective, so let's use the dream technique." Wang Yedao.

Messiah had a dream that night, and he dreamed about the scene of that day again.

Six months ago, he was not in good health and could only sit in an electric wheelchair.

Electric wheelchairs are expensive, but his parents bought them for him anyway.

He is grateful to his parents and loves them deeply.

They never gave up on him, so even today they disregarded his wishes and conspired with the pastor to make him the Son of God, he didn't resist.

He thought that as long as he could make them a lot of money and make them worry-free for the rest of their lives, he would secretly leave.

Thinking of the parents and the future, the fear of the Messiah disappeared a little.

And it was a dream...he knew it was a dream.

Like a bystander, he watched himself maneuver the electric wheelchair into the iron gate.

And he would go in alone, only because he heard a voice when Jon brought him in to explore.

The voice told him he could get him back to health, but he had to come alone.

He hesitated for several days, but still couldn't resist the temptation.

He wanted so badly to get healthy.

So, he got rid of everyone and secretly, early in the morning, he came here by himself.

He struggled to untangle the chain on the iron door, pushed the door open, and entered the dark cave.

Not long after entering the mine, he heard the voice again.

He was terrified, but the desire to gain health overwhelmed the fear.

Guided by that voice, he gradually went deeper into the mine.

Then at the bottom of a branching cave, he saw a strange statue.

The statue asked him to approach it, to call its name.

He did so at first.

But when he was about to call the statue's name for the third time, he suddenly felt extreme fear, and he felt that something in his body was about to leave him.

He suddenly felt that the statue was extremely evil.

He swallowed back the third call, and he tried to get away from the statue as far away as possible.

But the statue seemed anxious when he noticed his movement.

He heard a lot of rustling sounds, and a large number of poisonous snakes came from nowhere and surrounded him.

He was terrified, terrified.

He yelled desperately to make all the poisonous snakes disappear and let him leave the mine.

Afterwards, there seemed to be a huge explosion.

When he regained consciousness again, he was already outside the iron gate of the mine.

Only the wheelchair was gone, and he was lying on the ground.

He could only get up by himself. If it was the past, these actions would be enough to break his bones.

But this time, he stood up steadily, he walked slowly, then slowly accelerated his pace, and he started to run!

In this way, he regained his health and gained the magical ability to heal others.

He himself didn't know what was going on.

But he deeply knew that there was something wrong with the statue deep in the mine, and he must not approach it!

It may be that he re-watched the process of obtaining divine grace again, and Messiah found that he was much less afraid of that mine and that statue.

He exhaled lightly and fell asleep peacefully. He hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time.

"Evil God Balak." Wang Ye spat out the name.

"Why is there a statue of the evil god Baal on the earth?" Zong Lao was puzzled: "If it is because of the game, but the game has only been running for a few years? But the statue looks like it has been there for a long time."

Wang Ye tapped the back of his hand: "I'll check online."

There was nothing to do overnight, the next day was the weekend, and he didn't have to go to school. Jon got up early in the morning, riding a bicycle and saying that he was going to do morning exercises.

But he didn't call his buddy.

When Wang Ye heard the report from the floating light worm, he left Xiaoguang to follow Messiah, while he followed Jon.

Several passengers got off the bus stop in the small town, and one of them looked particularly pale.

Morova raised his head and took a deep breath of the air here.

The Son of God is here.

Where there is the Son of God, it seems that even the air is filled with divine power.

The other side of town.

Wang Ye had already learned about the history of this small town in advance. It was a small town formed by miners.

It used to be rich in coal and iron ore, but the trend of the ore veins developed to the east. After this side was hollowed out, it was abandoned, and the mine was transferred to the other side of the mountain.

To this day, many people in this small town work in the mines on the other side of the mountain.

Wang Ye guessed that the cave that Jon and Messiah mentioned was the mine left by the original mining.

For safety, these mines are naturally blocked.

But there are always naughty boys and girls who enter these mines to explore, and some homeless people choose to live in the mines for a short time.

For example, in the mine they saw now, there was clearly a big iron gate near the inside, and there were still chains around the iron gate, but someone cut the chain, and the big iron gate was pushed open a gap.

Wang Ye took a look at the bicycle that had been left outside the cave, and entered the mine along that gap.

The inside of the mine is very dark, and there is still the sound of dripping water, so timid people dare not enter.

But Jon was clearly gutsy and well-prepared, wearing his father's lamp cap and clutching a shovel.

This is not the first time he has tested Messiah. In the past six months, he has taken Messiah to many nearby places, but only this cave, Messiah is the most repulsive, even unwilling to approach.

He suspected that there must be something in this cave, and maybe the Messiah's ability to obtain divine grace was also related to this cave.

The cheapskate of Messiah, who got the benefit but didn't want to share it, and didn't want that kind of god-given power, is really a super fool!

His father sighed several times at home, saying that Messiah’s family is so lucky that their family will no longer have to work hard, and as long as Messiah helps a few rich people to heal their illnesses, they can become rich.

His father also said that the Messiah family would be moving out soon and they wouldn't be in this small town for long.

So he and the Messiah will also part soon, and the "Son of God" will have other friends, and he is just an insignificant existence in his memory.

His father also told him to let him try his best to stay by Messiah's side, and it would be better if he could become his assistant. After all, they had a good friendship and Messiah also trusted him.

But he didn't want to be Messiah's assistant.

What is an assistant?

Isn't it another better way to say a servant who serves?

He is Jon!He was the one who played with Messiah, and he was the one who took the initiative to contact the glass man that no one wanted to touch. Without him, Messiah might not have been able to obtain divine grace at all.

If he can also get the grace of God, if he can also get the power bestowed by God...

Jon went deep down the mine tunnel.

He brought the Messiah here once, and the Messiah never came again.

But did the Messiah really never come here again?

"Come in, this way..."

"Who?" Jon stopped and looked around vigilantly: "Who is talking to me, come out!"

A stream of water trembled in front of him, gradually pulling into an arrow.

Jon's eyes widened in surprise.
