Chapter 20 Avery

"I'm sorry." Facing the director's eyes that were more indifferent than calm, Sawyer lowered his head and apologized humbly: "I made a mistake."

His attitude of admitting his mistakes was considered Extremely good, and the performance is even more impeccable: because in the man's hands, above the instrument of the Life Factory, the data just collected by the guard has been clearly displayed. With just one contact, the guard has collected 53% of the information. Compared with Let the experimenter or hunter risk his life to try again and again, and the effect can be said to be efficient.

Sawyer handed the information in his hand to the director, and the blue-haired man reached out to take it. He looked at the thing in his hand. The man's deep eyes were reflected on the decorations on his body, and no one could see it from his expression. Find out if he is satisfied.

The director put away the single-sided glasses in his hand, folded this delicate little thing and put it into his pocket.

His tall nose turned to the other side and he saw Shu Mo fighting with the little spider on his shoulder. Shu Mo, who was carrying a small thing that was stuck on his body, paused for a moment. He slowly let go of the thing in his hand, looked at the director in front of him, and said from the bottom of his heart: "It's my turn now." Are you ready?"

The director observed his expression. The man looked hesitant, but it didn't look like he was worried about whether he would encounter any danger. He was just hesitant.

"I'm just an ordinary cleaner." Shu Mo said, "Honestly, I thought they were going to send me here to sweep the floor at first, but now the situation looks a little different from what I expected."

The director is wrong. He tilted his head and stared at him with one eye: "You don't like your current job?"

Shu Mo said, "Not really... After all, Mr. Xi promised to give me a salary increase..."

"I'm giving you the salary increase now ..." Salary." The director said in a very gentle tone: "If you perform well, then I may be able to arrange a bonus for you this month."

Shu Mo was refreshed, and he was about to agree. He felt that the director was a good person. Good man, the man turned around and said: "But if you don't go down, then I can guarantee that your bonuses will disappear in the next few months."

Shu Mo: "Director, don't worry, I will go down right now.

" Under duress, Shu Mo could only walk down the hall with tears in his eyes. However, he could not jump directly like the guard, but walked slowly towards the birch trees below. Sawyer's eyes flashed across his legs. Shu Mo's identity and his appearance didn't look like a hunter, let alone a qualified breeder. He looked too fragile and ordinary, with no fighting ability at all. Sawyer even felt that as long as the opponent walked into the protective shield below, he would be torn apart by the terrifying pollutant.

Why would the director think that such a person could be compared with the guards of the Life Factory?

However, no one cared about his doubts. After walking for a while, Shu Mo slowly walked to the protective shield, then looked at the birch forest in front of him, and then walked directly into it. At that moment, he seemed to have traveled through time and space. , the floor under his feet turned into scorched grass, and the blackened dead branches were broken by his feet. Amidst the ash in the sky, the grass seemed to be covered with snow, and every step left footprints of varying depths.

The crow of the crow became clear at this moment. Shu Mo turned his head to look at the protective shield behind him, and then suddenly turned his head. Just when someone thought he was about to escape, Shu Mo reached out and touched the barrier. , a thought flashed through his mind: If it weren't for this barrier, then this pollutant could have eroded the entire institute in an instant, just like the forest they met in the lower level before.

The hoarse screams were getting closer and closer. A group of circling blackbirds discovered the intruder in the forest, and then flew quickly towards Shu Mo. Their eyes were red, and their beaks were stained with blood that could not be washed away. Shu Mo was just like that Standing there motionless and looking at the approaching birds, it felt like he didn't even have a chance to escape.

"What is he doing?"

Sawyer couldn't understand. He just watched Shu Mo standing there blankly, watching the group of ferocious predators pounce on each other. What happened next was almost astonishing. As expected, Sawyer was a little confused: Is this some kind of unique research method?

The director watched this scene quietly. Sawyer couldn't understand the current development at all. Then, he saw a scene that caught people off guard: Shu Mo looked at the crow flying towards him, and suddenly he didn't dodge. He stretched out his hand, then slapped it away, and then said: "Don't stand on my shoulder."

The fierce black bird was pushed away by his slap, and after rolling headfirst, it struggled on the ground. He stood up squirmingly, then looked at him with wide eyes, and then barked twice.

"?"

At that moment, Sawyer was silent.

Under everyone's gaze, the crow lowered its head on the ground and walked towards Shu Mo for a few steps. Then it suddenly called twice more in a low voice. Shu Mo looked at it and his voice seemed helpless: "No."

He said . He turned his head, glanced at the little spider that was resting motionless on his shoulder, and then turned his head and continued: "You are too heavy, and your claws are too sharp, and you will damage my clothes."

"Gah——"

"I I said no." Shu Mo rubbed his temples, as if he had experienced this kind of thing many times, and said, "It's not okay to act coquettishly."

"Quack!" Crows were like ink spots. It fell down and formed a small concentrated black spot on the pale white scroll. The crow that was slapped by Shu Mo still wanted to get closer. Seeing that Shu Mo didn't stop him, he stepped closer and then lowered his head and rubbed his feet. Shu Mo looked at its appearance and thought of you. It didn't look like this just now. In the end, I couldn't hold it back and reached out to touch its head.

"Take me to find it." Shu Mo said, "I need to know what happened."

Under everyone's gaze, Shu Mo limped and moved slowly, with a group of crows following behind him. Not only did he not do any harm, Instead, he was guiding the man. A bespectacled experimenter took off his glasses, wiped them, put them back on, and then suspected he had seen a ghost.

The crow in front walked very fast, and Shu Mo tried hard to follow its lead, and finally saw the curled-up crow-eater at the end of the woods. It was still chewing the things in its hands, making a creepy gnawing sound. The other party's dark feathers were covered with dust, as if they were completely integrated into the forest.

Shu Mo stood aside and watched this scene. His hair was also covered with dust. The man reached out and patted it, rubbing a piece of gray on his fingertips. Then he looked at the monster in front of him and said, "What's your name?

" The Crow-Eater's movements paused imperceptibly. It raised its head and looked at Shu Mo in front of it, and heard the man continue to say in a very gentle tone: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

The Crow-Eater said in a daze. Looking at the people in front of him, a group of crows landed next to them. The mechanized chewing movement stopped at this moment. Shu Mo looked at it and didn't seem to be afraid. He even took two steps forward to want to Approaching the other party, the crow-eater seemed to be frightened, dropped what he was holding, and walked away.

"Ai...Ai Li..."

The Crow Eater left in a hurry, leaving only dark feathers in place. Shu Mo, who didn't have time to do anything, said: Wait, don't go.

A hoarse cry came, but a crow landed on the ground persistently, rolled around on the ground, and then lowered its head to be stroked. The monster that looked extremely scary not long ago was obedient like a puppy at this moment. There was a sound of branches being trampled in the woods, but it was the Crow Eater who was hiding behind the tree, with only one head exposed and looking at him.

It looked like he was watching him furtively. This was Shu Mo's first time encountering this type of pollutant. He was about to walk towards it, but the crow fell to the ground and stopped him. His way.

As if realizing that his companion's operation was effective, the crows around him followed suit and collapsed on the ground. Shu Mo was really speechless. He could only lower his body and try to get around it, but the crow opened its round eyes and grabbed his hand. Leave the shoes alone.

If going crazy was useful, then Shu Mo really wanted to go crazy now. However, the reality was that he could only squat down and pick up the crow on the ground, and then touched its head. Seeing this scene, the crow-eater with half his head exposed in the distance quietly approached and walked step by step in the direction of Shu Mo. Come on, its movements changed from hesitant at first, to quickening steps later, and then it walked towards Shu Mo faster and faster. Before the black-haired young man had time to react, he was almost knocked down by the Crow Eater.

As if a stone had been dropped into the burning oil, crows screamed in the woods. Shu Mo was pressed to the ground and looked at the monster on his body. The monster's body was covered with dense black feathers, which covered its figure and made it look more terrifying. Shu Mo couldn't see its face clearly and could only look at it. See the blurry face covered by feathers.

A group of black birds were enraged. They landed on the crow eaters and began to eat each other's bodies without hesitation. Shu Mo struggled to get up, but at that moment he heard the sobbing coming from the monster in front of him. :

"Please..."

"Avery... please..."

Tears fell down drop by drop and fell onto Shu Mo's face. The feeling was actually warm. Sawyer, who was watching from above, could not understand the current development at all. Shu Mo stretched out his hand and touched the warm tears on his face. He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand, lifted the black feather in front of him, and touched it below. A human-like face.

Fuzzy memories and painful prayers were transmitted along with this moment of contact, and Shu Mo's brain suddenly began to throb, but under such circumstances, he still said: "How can I help you?"

"Ai Li... Aili..."

The crow-eater continued and made a biting move, but it was not to hurt him: "Avery..."

Shu Mo covered his face and pushed the monster away. He stood up slowly and paused after watching the crows in the sky eating the crow-eaters. A suspicion formed in his mind: "Why do you keep eating crows?"

The man stretched out his hand and patted it away. Flying blackbird. Their number was too terrifying, but because of Shu Mo's actions, he finally dispersed the crows. Shu Mo reached out and caught a crow, and saw that their abdomens had become rounded due to eating, and their bodies were as round as a ball.

"Huh?"

The crow didn't struggle in his hand and seemed extremely well-behaved. Shu Mo looked at its belly silently, then looked at the crow-eater beside him. After a long time, he raised his face and said to the person above him: " Director——"

"Do you have a knife?"

Under the backlight, the director's expression looked blurry. Sawyer beside him couldn't understand what he was doing now. After a moment, the blue-haired man raised his hand and held a knife. He accurately threw the dagger at Shu Mo's feet, and a ray of light flashed. Shu Mo was startled when he saw the dagger stuck at his feet. He wiped the sweat from his face, then pulled out the knife and cut open the chest of the crow in his hand under everyone's gaze.

Blood dripped down between his fingers. Because of trust and no resistance, the crow was cut open without even a struggle. Shu Mo rummaged in its belly. After a moment, the man pursed his lips. , stretched out his bloody fingertips and found a small finger in its belly.

"...Is this what you want to find?"

Shu Mo turned around and confirmed. The crow-eater's voice became urgent. It walked around Shu Mo, looking restless: "Avery... Avery..."

After confirming this, Shu Mo turned around and looked at the crows around him. The red eyes of the black birds blinked slowly. They didn't know whether to fly away or stay in place. Shu Mo said to them: "Don't move."

"I walk very slowly and can't catch up with you."

Crows Silent, they really just stayed in place, letting Shu Mo pick up their wings one by one. This scene looked scary and weird. Shu Mo was very patient and moved very carefully, and the crows did not struggle. But even so, it took him a lot of time to gather the parts and place a small half-human body on the ground.

"Okay."

Shu Mo raised his head and finally looked at the last remaining crow. He held the dagger in his hand and said to the crow-eater in front of him: "Don't move."

"You are a good person. "Child," Shu Mo said, "Let me help you."

Under the man's order, the crow-eater really stood there, and then watched with trembling eyes as Shu Mo stabbed the dagger into its body. Shu Mo didn't know whether his guess was accurate, but he saw something through the memory resonance just now. The Crow Eater's condition was painful and very exciting. The black-haired young man's pale face was stained with blood. He Squinting his eyes and cutting with a dagger, the blood slowly seeped out along the black feathers and stained his clothes. Finally, Shu Mo cut open the other man's stomach.

Then, he saw the curled up corpse hidden in the opponent's body.

Shu Mo was silent for a moment, then took him out with his hands. The crow-eater instantly fell to the ground. He walked towards the corpse on the ground with the things in his arms and pieced it together. Under Shu Mo's hands, a frail child gradually took shape. When the last bone was put together, the flesh and blood grow out.

The child slowly got up from the ground. It opened its eyes, revealing a pair of gray eyes. Shu Mo stared at it. For a long time, this child——Avery looked at Shu Mo and said softly to the man. :

"Thanks."
