Chapter 10 I

Reject The generated, warm breath.

The warmth poured into his nose and then penetrated into his brain. Xi's voice poured into his eardrums. Everything about him seemed to be surrounding Shu Mo at this moment, giving him an almost warm feeling. A suffocating feeling like being drowned.

He only felt that his heartstrings were almost touched. At that moment, Shu Mo had the urge to agree to all the other party's requests at all costs, but he remembered one thing at the last moment, which made him hesitate. And said: "Aren't you going to think about it again?"

The opportunity to upgrade his salary and reach the top of his life is just around the corner. What Shu Mo is encountering now is almost like a dream. It's better to say that even in his dream, he It’s unlikely that any of this comes to mind.

Becoming a messenger of Rizhu is no longer about changing jobs and getting a salary increase, but it is about rising to the top in one step. Shu Mo felt that his sanity was slipping at an extremely fast speed, but he was not dissatisfied with it, but felt that it was too shocking and too fantastic.

"You don't want to reject me, but you have concerns about it?" Even Shu Mo himself didn't notice that Xi was still holding his hand. The man's knuckles were long, but the joints were protruding, as if they were made of jade. Wearing a sterling silver ring on the index finger of her right hand, Xi's whole body seemed to be exuding warmth, but the temperature from the ring was so cold, with a cold and hard feeling, touching Shu Mo's skin.

Nozomi's palm is very wide, and the whole thing is placed there like a work of art. It wasn't that Shu Mo felt the treatment was bad. In fact, he wanted to hug Xi's thigh and say: Sir, take me away.

Xi just stretched out her hand and held Shu Mo's finger. Shu Mo didn't come back to his senses for a while, and he didn't realize that his hand was being held tightly.

Xi said: "Actually, it is very common for people with talents like you to gain such a status."

Xi turned his face, finally glanced sideways at Twelve standing beside him for the first time, and then said : "Like the Star Pillar messenger next to me, her duty is to be the messenger of the Star Pillar, looking for the birth of the 'hole' phenomenon in various areas, or to find new hunters, or to find new pollutants. "

Of course, there are many things that Xi did not fully say. For example, the messenger was also the eyeliner of the Pillar. When the tower was first established, areas around the old world were absorbed by the tower, and the remaining races moved into the tower to continue. Reproduce and avoid the destruction of the old world.

Up to now, even the gods of the tower cannot fully know what the people who entered the tower brought with them. This is why the messengers patrol everywhere, because of course the hyenas they serve as pillars have to defend themselves. The master finds new talents and treasures.

…or maybe it’s a new experimental subject.

The color of Nozomi's eyes is warm, like soft cream. Shu Mo couldn't help but trust his words, and on the side, Twelve, who had been ignored, finally raised his head and said, "Yes, our duty is to find more messengers for the pillars."

When talking about his master, Twelve Lifting his chin slightly, his eyes were sharp: "Just like my master: Xingzhu Feishi, she is a pillar of noble status. She controls the power of the flame. What a great master..."

At this point, Ten Er's voice was involuntarily louder. The loyalty to her master in her eyes was unshakable piety, and the pillar was everything to the messenger.

"When you introduce me like this," Xi said, "it seems like you are trying to steal someone from me."

Twelve finally recovered from her gushing praises for Fei Shi. She was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said respectfully: " Please forgive my rudeness, my lord."

"But every time a void occurs and capable talents are discovered, the messengers and pillars who arrive at the scene have the power to recruit new subordinates." The woman laughed. : "Master Feishi still lacks two messengers. You have blocked the others outside, but you can't stop me from looking for subordinates for you."

Twelve's eyes fell on Shu Mo, as if he was looking at a sweet potato. . The woman's eyes under the lenses were looking at him with a keen eye. Shu Mo was not used to this kind of eyes that seemed to be examining his worth. He shrank back, and then he realized that his hand was being held by a man, and Shu Mo looked at him quietly. After taking a look, Xi also pulled her hand back.

Xi's hand suddenly became empty, and he still had a warm smile on his face, as if he didn't realize what was happening. Just pulling back his finger, the man simply sat there with an indescribable power: "That depends on what Shu Mo means."

Shu Mo.

Instead of Y-210.

After Shu Mo heard his name rolling around in Xi's mouth, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, because he had been in this place for half a year, but no one had ever called his name. Everyone only called him Y-210. Over time, even Shu Mo himself almost forgot that his name was Shu Mo and not that cold number.

The name is a pronoun, a title, and there should be no difference between the number and his name itself, but Shu Mo couldn't help but feel a little happy, as if he realized that he was valued.

"Y-210," Twelve said, "I hope you can consider my request." The woman said, boasting about her master again: "Master Feishi can also give you everything you want, no matter what you want, Do you want to be a hunter, or do you want to be a messenger, as long as you are willing..."

Although she said this, Twelve knew that she was just trying to maintain the dignity of the star pillar. If other people were here, she could also be like before. A messenger from the Moon Pillar and the Star Pillar competed for a talent, usually competing with others to grab someone, but Xi was sitting here in person, and she really had no idea at all.

Shu Mo's eyes fell on her, and then turned to Xi. Xi still looked at him quietly. The man just smiled and said, "I can realize all your dreams for you."

Xi's voice was empty, He didn't promise anything or brag about himself. He just sat there and said, "You can do whatever you want."

Twelve listened and felt a little weird. Is this the condition for recruiting subordinates?

But this Lord Rizhu has never had his own messenger, maybe he has his own ideas.

In front of such an identity and promise, no one can refuse. Twelve lowered her head and waited for Shu Mo's response. Maybe she had the honor to witness the sealing ceremony of a Sun Pillar as a bystander.

Then, she heard Shu Mo's voice was silent for a long time.

Xi waited quietly, but Shu Mo remained silent.

This silence lasted for a while, until Twelve even thought that Shu Mo was trying to push his limits. The black-haired young man raised his face and said with twinkling eyes: "I'm afraid..."

"I don't deserve to be treated like this."

Shu Mo's voice was soft but calm. After the man said these words, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength in an instant and slumped down in the chair.

Of course, Shu Mo was very excited and knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But just because such a lottery ticket had been thrown in front of him, and he only had to walk over and pick it up, Shu Mo suddenly realized that he couldn't do it. ——Because of his leg.

"Why?" Xi's expression was still gentle: "You have talents, you have abilities, you deserve these."

His words were heard in Shu Mo's ears. The more he listened, the more difficult it was to mind, but no matter what, , a bomb buried in the ground will be dug up one day, not to mention a person of Ruxi's status, it is better to announce everything now than to find out later that he has been deceived.

"Because I am an 'unclean person'." Shu Mo frowned. There was not much emotion on his face, only a mockery of his identity: "I'm sorry, I don't want to hide this, but this is my rejection of you. The reason."

Shu Mo said, stretched out his hand and unzipped his right leg's pants.

His fingers opened the loose fabric and pulled up a section: what was revealed from below were the black lines that extended all the way up from the ankle wrapped in socks, and even almost reached the top of the calf.

Those lines exude an inexplicable luster and have followed Shu Mo since he was born. They cannot be removed until he reaches adulthood because they are engraved on his body and inside his body. Even if the leg is cut off, these lines will not be removed. The lines will also transfer accordingly. Even if the skin is torn open, the deepest bones will be imprinted with traces that mean uncleanness.

This leg caused Shu Mo a slight dull pain all the time. Every once in a while, it would even cause Shu Mo such severe pain that he could not breathe. Shu Mo had been enduring this kind of gnawing pain since he was born.

Without any words, just by showing this leg, Shu Mo answered all Xi's doubts:

Why can he only stay in the laboratory despite having abilities? Being a janitor who could lose his life at any time?

"Because you are a monster." The woman in the memory said to the child who was only a few years old: "Don't blame me, your presence will cause trouble. You can't stay here, and you can't stay with us anymore."

"People like you, no matter where they go, will end up being expelled."

Xi's eyes rolled slightly, and Shu Mo's fingers were trembling. He raised his face, preparing to face the angry or disgusted expression of the man in front of him. Then he saw a smiling face.

Nozomi is still smiling.

That smile was so warm. Shu Mo felt a little dazed. The man's eyes were so tolerant and gentle. Shu Mo couldn't even see the slightest trace of disgust and resistance in his warm white eyes. Xi smiled and stared at him. The curvature of the corners of his lips had not changed in any way. When he looked at the unclean lines extending from the young man's slender ankles, his expression was tolerant, as if he was just seeing a very ordinary thing.

Shu Mo even began to think that his leg was just an ordinary leg, until he heard the familiar and harsh scream of the woman beside him:

"——blasphemer!"

Twelve's eyes widened. , she looked at the lines on Shu Mo's legs, and the expression on her face completely changed, as if she had seen something extremely hateful and ominous. Just thinking that she had just communicated with the person in front of her made her feel... A hint of nausea.

"So unclean, so dirty." The woman's eyes fell on Shu Mo. She was shocked at first, then disgusted, and finally turned into full of anger.

Thinking that she even wanted to recruit an unclean person for her master just now, Twelve felt like she was about to faint. If this matter spread, how much doubt and scrutiny would Master Feishi receive?

When she thought of this, flames rose in her hands, wanting to directly wipe out the uncleanness in front of her. The murderous intention was extremely strong, but as the messenger of the Star Pillar, when she saw a living blasphemer, Twelve's The reaction is a normal reaction.

The flame had even begun to ignite, but it did not really fly out, because of Xi's words:

"Kneel down."

The woman's body tensed, and a pressure came from the center of the room. She almost couldn't help it in the next second. He was half-kneeling on the ground, his head lowered, almost touching the ground.

"Don't be too silly," Xi said.

No explanation is needed, and no explanation is necessary. Twelve could only kneel on the ground motionless, feeling the indescribable pressure. Xi Ze turned to look at Shu Mo in front of him. The young man's face, which was already very pale, now became even paler, and he looked shaky. It will break apart in the next second.

However, when Xi's eyes fell on his face, she realized that there was no pain or despair in Shu Mo's eyes. The black-haired young man's green eyes were still shining brightly, like a dark forest, or a turquoise, Reflecting the sparkling waves of the ocean.

What a beautiful and determined look in his eyes. He clearly looked like he was about to be crushed, but he also had extremely strong vitality.

Shu Mo just sat there, his face pale. But under such circumstances, he still showed a sincere and gentle smile to Xi:

"Thank you, Mr. Xi."

He slowly bent his eyes, showing a smile that would be extinguished by the wind in the next second. , but extremely tenacious:

"But please allow me to reject you."

Shu Mo said in a very light tone: "Unfortunately, I am not qualified to be your messenger."
