,create so many problems that

no one can cope with all this. He was already doing everything he could,

and more. And the angel was indulging in pleasant memories

of today’s good deeds that he had done, when

suddenly it was as if boiling water was thrown over him, as if an invisible siren

screamed in his ears, and a red flashing light, deafening

howling, sparkled before his eyes. The spirit leapt up and flew

out of the window.

Lina’s heart sank with fright, and her breath caught in her throat.

This strange man in a black suit was standing in front of her

,shining a flashlight in her face.

«Well, hello,» he said in a pleasant, almost too

pleasant voice. «Who do we have here?»

Lina began to shield herself from the glare with her hands, and he

dimmed the lantern.

– So what am I supposed to do with you?»»

What is it?» the stranger asked her, his face breaking into a smile or

a grin.

Lina looked up at him. The first

thing she noticed were the eyes. Brown

eyes, the irises of which glowed with yellow-red sparks at the edges

.

Those aren’t lenses, Lina thought.»

Blah, I got it.»

When suddenly everything rang and then froze,

and it became difficult to breathe, difficult to move, difficult to speak…

A voice was heard from Sleep – ruzhi, and the man in black

came down like lightning and disappeared from sight. Li-

na exhaled, the feeling of suffocation and helplessness

gone. She scooped up her backpack and went down the

stairs. And finally, with just one glance over his shoulder

At what was happening nearby, I ran

home as fast as I could.

She saw something even more incredible. It was as if an-

gel was descending from the sky, shining with divine light, holding

a silver sword, but she couldn

’t see it anymore. Fear took over her completely, the instinct of self —

preservation took up all the space that was in her head. Other capes-

Lina had no choice but to run far and fast, and in a

few moments there

were only two people left at the hunter’s cabin.

Damiel appeared in all his glory, in

all his beauty – blinding light and snow-white wings. He rarely took the form of a spirit and appeared in the human world in the form of an angel

only in exceptional cases, when the instructions required

it, and this was just such a case.

«Let the horned one tremble, he will know who will be disturbed-

he lived. They came up with me here again – on my land to play

their dirty games. Unheard of!

There hasn’t been such a blatant lack of balance

in decades. That’s why we need to scare the devil’s spawn as

it should, «the angel thought as he descended to the ground. «It’s a good thing I

brought a sword, I look great.»

The demon was really impressed.

He bent over, shielding his arms from the glare,

wobbling like a blade of grass in the wind before a helicopter came down

.

Damiel touched the ground, retracted his wings, and began his

edifying speech.

And Keijigen stood there thinking, «Arfimaino, the son of a bitch,

set me up, got out without proper permission

,and left.» The angel’s words were jarring,

and his proximity was searing, but Keijigen didn’t budge

.He was sorry – his peaceful life on Earth began

to flash before his eyes. «I’m about to be sent away

15

Down to the trial before the council, then the soul mines, the guardians…

Or maybe run away? You can’t get away from this… it’s a pain

,but they sent a tough guy to pick me up… In general, it’s strange that

the archangel came to deal with such trifles…

Wait a minute… I’m wrong… this is not an archangel. I’m an idiot!

No, it’s definitely not an archangel, but where does the supreme
