Chapter 39 They are waiting for the day when greed succumbs
Chapter 39 The day they were waiting for greed to give in.
The two of them enjoyed the breakfast made by Shu Mo without saying a word. Shu Mo was in a pretty good mood now. It was as if he had been cut out of some kind of bondage and looked at the world with a new eye.
This feeling of relief that seemed to come from the deepest part of the nerves could not be described in words. Shu Mo picked up the information at hand and continued to read. The laboratory transported several new pollutants this time, namely "T-98-HG" -Stairway to Heaven," "H-77-HU-Smiling Child," and several as-yet-unnamed contaminants.
Among them, the information on "Ladder to Heaven" caught Shu Mo's attention. Its information is as follows:
[This pollutant suddenly appeared in a residential building and vividly described the paradise it had seen to passers-by.
The contaminant's words are extremely bewitching and will lure civilians to follow its lead. When someone approaches it and expresses curiosity about "heaven", T-98-HG-Ladder to Heaven will approach the person and Means: Heaven is right before your eyes. 】
A very brief piece of information, and it didn't even seem threatening. The experimenter who came into contact with T-98-HG for the first time even said that the other party looked like a very ordinary mental patient. But after truly understanding its characteristics, the hunters on the second floor suppressed it mercilessly and chose to transport it to the laboratory for containment.
It seems that only if the other person stays here can they feel at ease.
"Heaven..."
This word aroused Shu Mo's curiosity. For some reason, he recalled Xi's appearance in his mind. Speaking of which, he should also go see Xi. Although the last meeting was not very pleasant, he still had many things to ask Him.
Thinking like this, Shu Mo was about to finish his last bite of food and go to find Xi. But at this moment, his actions may have attracted Greedy's attention. The purple-haired man was sitting in front of the table, looking at him with a pair of green eyes. The man couldn't help but He looked very well-behaved when he was crazy, and the food in front of him had been eaten. At this time, Greedy was sitting there, as quiet as a sculpture.
However, when Shu Mo stood up, his greedy eyes rolled around. Seeing that Shu Mo seemed to be leaving directly, he ignored him. The man lifted up the hair hanging from his lips, stood up suddenly, and followed Behind Shu Mo.
"Too close." Shu Mo pushed him away.
Greedy looked at him eagerly. Seeing that Shu Mo really had no reaction, he pursed his lips and said, "You didn't sleep well last night."
"So I brought you some 'medicine'."
Shu Mo Mo turned back to look at him, not understanding what Greedy was saying: "What are you talking about?"
Shu Mo looked at him suspiciously, Greedy seemed to be waiting for a reward, and his eyes moved towards his hand from time to time. Next, Shu Mo even had a vision of a tail wagging behind the opponent's butt. Just when he was feeling a little strange, he suddenly realized something.
The young man was startled and came back to his senses: "How do you know that I didn't sleep well last night?"
Greedy stood there with little expression on his face, only a kind of pure desire and eagerness. He seemed a little anxious. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and leaned over with his big head, trying to grab Shu Mo's hand and put it on his hair. Shu Mo no longer knew what the expression was on his face. He looked at the purple-haired man's eager movements with a dull face, feeling that the other man kept rubbing his hand like a wild wolf that had no idea. Shu Mo didn't like people coming close to him. He pulled back his hand and said to the man: "You couldn't...have been guarding the door of my room last night, right?"
Thinking of the call he heard in his dream last night, Shu Mo covered his face, and then gritted his teeth and said: "You are not allowed to do this again, and if you do this, you will disturb other neighbors."
"But..."
"There is no but."
The greedy hand suddenly disappeared, but Shu Mo He no longer paid attention to him, but turned around and started washing the dishes. The man stood there and looked at him for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked out. When Shu Mo raised his head, he thought that Greed was angry with him. But at this moment, he pointed his ears and suddenly heard the sound coming from the door. The exchanges:
"Bang bang bang!"
"Woc, who is disturbing me so early in the morning... Ah, Mr. Greedy, why are you here..."
"Move out?! But this is my dormitory, use A more advanced permission exchange... This, this is not appropriate..."
"Bang!"
Following a crisp sound, Shu Mo listened blankly to the voice coming from the door: "Exchange, I exchange! I have long wanted to live in a higher-end dormitory, Master Greedy, please let me go!"
The next second, Greedy walked in from the door with a cold expression, and his expressionless expression even looked a little disturbing. The timid and pure evil spirit, just like making him unhappy even slightly, is enough to trigger a horrific killing.
However, when Greedy walked in and saw Shu Mo's appearance, the murderous intent in the man disappeared instantly. Greedy's eyes softened, and his eyes looked bright when looking at Shu Mo. The purple-haired man's face remained calm. With a very faint smile, he showed the room card in his hand to Shu Mo: "I am your neighbor now."
Shu Mo: "I will go to the director tomorrow to ask for permission to move out of this area."
Greedy: "QAQ"
Shu Mo looked at the person in front of him and felt convinced. He finally experienced that indescribable feeling, like facing a dog that only wags its tail at him. It usually looks clingy and obedient, but when he is not there or can't see it, it is greedy for other people. What kind of attitude will it be.
There were some changes in Shu Mo's thinking, but he was not fully aware of it yet. For example, he has even begun to regard greed as a trouble that he needs to take over and deal with, and regards the other party as a part of his life.
The other party squeezed into Shu Mo's life in a very forceful way, and then began to invade everything around Shu Mo. No matter what method Greed used, Shu Mo could no longer ignore his existence.
When the two people walked out of the room one after another, Shu Mo's neighbor, um, now his former neighbor, was standing up slowly while holding on to the wall. The unlucky Ouya didn't know whether to lament his good luck, but suddenly... It's time to move from your current residence to a higher-end dormitory, which is a luxurious and high-end community for only one person; you should still lament your bad luck, unexpectedly encountering the famous evil spirit of the laboratory.
Then, he heard a greeting coming from his ear. It was a new colleague saying good morning to him. As soon as Ouya raised his head to respond, the man's movements suddenly stopped.
Because he saw the murderer who had just put a gun on his forehead and coldly asked him to change dormitories, following his new neighbor. Ouya even rubbed his eyes and began to wonder if he had just changed his dormitory. I saw a tail behind the other person. The other party's eager look looked completely different from the previous one.
Ouya's fingers began to tremble, and his worldview suffered an indescribable horrific impact. At this time, his new colleague said to him: "Good morning."
Ouya opened his mouth and replied stiffly: " Hello, Shu Mo."
Then, he felt a substantial gaze with a hint of hostility and murderous intent falling on him, causing Ouya's body to be shrouded in an invisible chill. Shu Mo looked at the person in front of him with some confusion, wondering why the other person suddenly stopped talking. The next second, he realized that something was wrong.
The young man turned around and glanced at Greed coldly, and the purple-haired man withdrew his gaze. It's like saying: "I'm very good."
Ouya felt that his body temperature did not rise even in one breath, and he almost froze to death in the dormitory. Otherwise, he should move out early.
Ouya and Shu Mo happened to be going in the same direction, so the three of them chose to go together. After Shu Mo's warning, Greedy finally stopped staring at Ouya. The poor man finally no longer felt that there was a thorn in his back, but Ouya's character was obviously a bit conceited. After realizing that the sense of danger disappeared, , Ouya completely forgot what happened in the morning and started chatting with Shu Mo.
"Alas, more and more pollutants have been transported to the institute during this period."
Ouya pressed his shoulders and complained helplessly: "Some experimenters even have to be responsible for several pollutants by themselves. By the way, "I haven't seen Kevin in the past two days. All the pollutants he is responsible for have been pushed to my hands. Those ancestors are too difficult to deal with."
Speaking of this, Shu Mo also found that he had not seen him for several days. He had seen Kevin. After thinking for a while, he remembered what the other party had told him about the banquet. The young man asked tentatively, but Owen looked at him doubtfully: "I have never heard of such a thing. "
...You haven't heard of it?"
Ouya took out a box of chocolates from his pocket, flipped through it casually, then threw a piece into his mouth and asked Shu Mo if he wanted some. Declined. As for why you don't ask Greed who is following Shu Mo, it's better not to embarrass Ouya.
"No." Ouya said: "People die every day in our laboratory, who has time to throw a party for new colleagues."
The man shrugged, suddenly came back to his senses, and realized one thing: "So Kevin won't He must have been eaten by pollutants. Oh my god, he still owes me three thousand stars."
"Is that so?" Shu Mo pressed the book in his hand on his forehead to cover the expression on his face.
"But it's also possible that I didn't pay attention. When Kevin comes back, you can ask him if this is true."
Ouya was extremely perceptive. He noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and changed the topic. Shu Mo did not answer. , but a thought came into his mind, that is, Kevin should... not come back.
"If he can come back, then I do have something to ask him."
Greedy lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering his beautiful eyes, giving those green eyes an indescribable dark color.
At that moment, Ouya suddenly felt a chill on his back. When he saw that he had reached his work station, he said hello to Shu Mo and left quickly, his steps unavoidably a bit hurried. After Ouya left, Greedy's aura became much more active. He watched Shu Mo pull out his chair and sit at the workstation, and then he moved over.
As soon as Shu Mo turned around, he saw Greedy standing by and looking at him. Looking at the people beside him, Shu Mo said helplessly: "Don't you have your own job?"
After Greedy thought for a while, he replied: "Protection You are my job."
Shu Mo felt uncomfortable as he flipped through the book. Now many colleagues are in the office. They first walked to their workstations, and then suddenly saw the greedy spirit behind Shu Mo. Then their bodies stiffened, their steps stopped, they felt their bladders tightening, and they fell down. He left silently for a second and walked to the toilet. This is almost becoming a pollution phenomenon. Even people who must sit at the workstation will choose to stay away from Shu Mo.
Shu Mo felt woeful in his heart. He could neither drive away greed nor make the other party leave him. Does Greed really want to stick by his side so stubbornly? How is he going to work like this?
"You are a hunter, right? Shouldn't hunters hunt pollutants?"
Greedy seemed to sense the strangeness of others, but how could he care about anyone except Shu Mo. The man sat obediently next to Shu Mo and looked at him. His eyes never left Shu Mo: "Since the last hunting, they no longer let me go 'hunting'."
"Why?" Shu Mo turned his head and glanced at the person behind him. He looked greedy and clearly had fighting power. A terrifyingly powerful type, even Shu Mo, who had always been at the bottom, knew what the Seven Sins meant.
"Because they are very unhappy."
"?"
Greedy didn't know what he thought of, raised his lips and smiled: "They are not willing to let me enter their city anymore, or even want to see me again."
"So, those people Throw me here."
I don't know if it was an illusion. At that moment, Shu Mo saw a bloodthirsty expression on the man's face, and a strong smell of blood came from Greedy's body. An unspeakable smell as rotten as bone marrow: "They said this place is suitable for me. Even if I lose control, the director can lock me up."
Greedy said no more, and Shu Mo did not continue to ask. Greed is not a good thing from any point of view. In fact, it is more dangerous than some level five pollutants, so much so that even the Trial Center or other Seven Sins dare not touch each other. In the end, they only Can choose to banish him.
He was so out of control. There was a file on the director's desk suggesting that Greed be contained or destroyed directly, but the director did not do that.
So some people choose to watch, choosing to wait for the day when greed will tear themselves apart, or the day when greed chooses to bow to them.
Then, in the midst of their plan, Xino suggests to Greedy: You could try asking God for forgiveness for your original sin.
Then, Shu Mo fell from the sky and appeared in Greedy's arms.
Then everything gets chaotic.
Looking at the person in front of you greedily, what kind of look is that, like a person who is about to drown grabbing the last piece of driftwood; or a person who is about to dry up in the desert finds the last spring of water. Too heavy to imagine.
Shu Mo lowered his head, feeling that the extremely intense gaze behind him was getting heavier and heavier, becoming more and more impossible to ignore. It was a feeling that he wanted to tear him into pieces and swallow. The young man lowered his head to deal with the data and files in his hands, but halfway through writing, he realized that he couldn't write anymore.
"Greed, can you..."
Halfway through his words, he felt his shoulders sink. However, the purple-haired man slowly approached him from behind. Greed's breathing was very light. Even if he was very close, he seemed like a corpse. It was as silent as a cold corpse, but the body temperature on the body was so cold that even without touching it, it was as cold as if the flesh and blood were sticking together.
"It's so strange." Greedy put his straight nose on Shu Mo's shoulder and sniffed hard: "It's so strange..."
Shu Mo's body suddenly stiffened, and half of his torso seemed to be completely numb, unable to move. Greedy His eyes were full of doubts, and he could sense that the people around him were sniffing the scent of him: "I've been confused since last night."
"Shu Mo," the man said softly, "Why do you have this smell on your body?" Is there a strange smell?”
