Chapter 44 O-11-GH-Lord of Gray Fog

Tuesday, it was sunny, the wind was gentle, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

Shu Mo lay on the bed, opened his eyes, and was ready to face an energetic morning. Then he suddenly staggered. Shu Mo, who almost fell to the ground, raised his head and saw his face in the mirror, only to find that his hands and feet were weak. Trembling, his eyes were black and his face was pale.

There was a sharp pain in his leg, as if something was biting his calf.

Shu Mo's eyes opened and closed, and then the young man silently shed a tear from the corner of his eye.

Because he has realized that his old injury has recurred again.

This pain was destined to accompany him throughout his life since he was born. Shu Mo had been experiencing occasional recurrences in his life of more than 20 years ago. Sometimes it was a sharp stabbing pain, and sometimes it was as if it was like now. The pain is as if the calf is shattered into pieces. Sometimes Shu Mo would be so painful that he would be covered in cold sweat. He would feel dead in bed and unable to breathe. Every cell in his body was screaming. He gritted his teeth, fearing that his screams would offend others. Note, but Shu Mo's behavior actually doesn't make much sense, because he was in so much pain that he couldn't scream.

Every time he encountered this situation, the young man's choice was to lie on the bed and wrap himself in the quilt. This feeling of being tightly wrapped by something gave Shu Mo a sense of security. Then, Shu Mo When his body is shaking, he will close his eyes and start humming a song quietly.

Yes, Shu Mo sometimes hums. His voice is clear and clear. When he sings softly while lying in bed, the melody humming from the young man's mouth is like an unknown ballad. Shu Mo's body slowly softens. After coming down, even his spirit became a little relaxed, and the pain all over his body slowly dissipated in the melody of the song, like a warm white light shrouding his mind, soothing and calm.

He was lying in the room, singing quietly like a wrapped cicada. Sometimes, young people feel that they should sing louder. He should sing harder and louder, and sing this song to everyone. Sing to others, let his voice reach everyone's ears -

and then this impulse will suddenly stop, as if the continuously rotating gears are forced to interrupt, Shu Mo showed a blank expression for a moment , because he felt that he was missing something: he was missing something very important, but he couldn't find that thing.

It was precisely because of the loss of that thing that he could only sing in a low voice. If he could find that thing, maybe he could... he could...

The medium-sized bedroom was neatly furnished, except for the floor and table. Apart from the clutter, other details reveal the atmosphere of life.

There is a gorgeous cloak hanging on the wall, and the clean appearance shows the careful care taken by the owner. From the very beginning, a clean, clear white light exuding a touch of warmth appeared above the bed. It was emitting clean light along with the melody. In the light group, countless tiny white dots could be seen accompanying the music. Jumping, just as the white light was getting brighter, the sound on the bed suddenly stopped. The next second, Shu Mo, who felt that his health was better, slowly raised his face, his eyes full of confusion.

His hair was messed up a bit. The young man raised his face and confirmed what he just heard:

"Shu Mo..."

Shu Mo raised the corners of his eyes fiercely.

"Shu Mo... Shu Mo..."

That sweet, low voice called his name in front of the door.

In the room, cold sweat broke out all over Shu Mo's body, which was even more terrifying than the attack of his old injury just now.

Like a ghost coming to seek life, Greedy, who was standing in front of Shu Mo's door and knocking on it, showed a happy smile and said to the people in the room:

"I'm here to find you, my lord."

Shu Mo called . When he opened the door, he saw a purple-haired man kneeling half in front of his door. The moment he opened the door, he smiled happily at him.

The smile was so pure, but Shu Mo's eyes were a little confused: "What are you doing?"

"On the way here, I saw some stamens produced by T-98-NN." The man held a piece of stamens in his hand. That's right, the beautiful bouquets were struggling and roaring towards him. Those flowers wanted to escape from his restraint. When they were twisting wildly but unable to struggle, they would bite the greedy arms in anger. , but they can't even break through the greedy skin.

"I think you will like it." Greedy held the bouquet in front of him. Strangely, these things that seemed extremely scary just now suddenly became quiet after approaching Shu Mo. They raised their heads and picked up the blooming buds. They all aimed at the young man in front of them, and even the color of their bodies turned into Shu Mo's favorite white gold color, which was as warm as the morning sun.

Shu Mo blinked, glanced at Greedy, and finally stretched out his hand to take the bouquet of flowers. He stretched out his hand and touched the buds. He felt a tingling sensation on his fingertips. The young man hummed softly and faced it. Greedy said: "You get up first."

Greedy carefully observed his direction before standing up from the ground. I don't know why, Greedy always seemed cautious today. Wherever he went, Shu Mo felt the eyes that were ready to move. He paused, and for some reason he remembered a dog that his neighbor had raised. This terrifying fierce dog is more like a giant wolf than a dog. It can easily bite through the throats of ordinary people. However, even such a giant wolf would stand with its tail between its legs when it knocked over its owner's vase. Shu Mo pretended nothing happened to observe his master's reaction from a distance. He suddenly stopped and looked back. Then the corners of his eyes twitched again, because the expression on Greedy's face was almost like that of a giant wolf. It's exactly the same as when something goes wrong.

What did he do in a place that Shu Mo didn't know about?

A feeling that something bad was going on arose in Shu Mo's heart, but due to insufficient information, he had no way of finding out. Once Shu Mo tried to ask something, Greed would turn around with a guilty expression. After several attempts, Shu Mo found helplessly that he couldn't find any clues about this guy. He could only put this matter aside for the time being and start today's work:

exposure to pollutants.

Yes, in addition to being Xi's breeder, Shu Mo also needs to take care of other pollutants part-time. Of course, this is all of his own free will. His ability is so special that in many cases, some extremely difficult pollutants in the laboratory require his help, such as the T-98-HG-Stairway to Heaven and O-11-GH we are facing now. -The Lord of Gray Mist, and O-12-KL-Moon Witch.

Except for the Stairway to Heaven, the remaining two were Level 5 pollutants imprisoned in the deepest part of the laboratory. Shu Mo walked to the Lord of Gray Fog's holding room. Behind him, Greed followed closely. Facing the famous terrorist pollutant, there was no other emotion on his face. His eyes just stared at the young man in front of him. In his eyes, any other person or thing seemed to be superfluous and did not require any attention. Powerful.

Standing in front of Shu Mo, the staff member in protective clothing selectively ignored Greed behind her. Her face was covered by a hood and her appearance could not be seen clearly. She could only hear the other party saying in a clear voice: "Trouble." You, Shu Mo, the Lord of Gray Mist suddenly behaved strangely during this period. According to its rules and habits, this period should be its 'dormant period', but it suddenly started to become restless. If it breaks through the containment "It will cause serious casualties."

The woman's voice became serious: "Although it is dangerous, we still hope you can find out the reason why it went out of control."

Shu Mo glanced at her. , the woman made way for him: "Thank you very much, Shu Mo."

Shu Mo took two steps forward, followed closely by Greedy behind him. He turned around, and the black-haired young man's green eyes looked very bright in the dim room: "Are you going to follow me?"

Under normal circumstances, contact When dealing with such dangerous contaminants, other experimenters or breeders will strictly follow the rules and habits of previously recorded contaminants, and will not let inexperienced people come into contact with them if necessary. However, Shu Mo's situation is different. And he doesn't really care if Greed follows him.

Greedy looked at Shu Mo and nodded. He watched the green eyes that seemed to compress an entire forest blinking slowly in front of him. He was so mesmerized by the green color that he almost lost his breath. Obviously he also has a pair of green eyes, but Greed just thinks that Shu Mo's eyes are the most beautiful in the world.

It would be nice if you could dig it out and use it as a decoration.

The thought flashed through his greedy mind that he would definitely enshrine it as the most precious gem, but he was a little reluctant to think of poaching Shu Mo's eyes.

The man pressed his fingers on his eye sockets and suddenly thought: Why are his eyes so useless?

If Shu Mo wants his eyes, then Greed will definitely be willing to give them to him.

This thought flashed through the man's mind, and he looked at Shu Mo more eagerly. A sudden chill ran down the black-haired young man's back, and a strong malice shot up from the soles of his feet. But they had already entered the protective shield and were contained. The moment the door inside the room opened, the smell that Shu Mo smelled was a strong smell that seemed to have existed for hundreds of years in the decaying kingdom.

He seemed to have entered another world. After passing through a cloud of gray fog shrouded in front of him, the sound of shoes on the cold floor came. Along with a popping sound, Shu Mo lowered his head and saw that he was in front of him. Stepping on a thick lump of wax oil, the soles of the feet were firmly stuck to it.

Shu Mo looked at the ball of wax oil, and after a moment of silence, he took out the rule book of O-11-GH-Lord of Gray Mist:

[O-11-GH-Lord of Gray Mist's File:

Article 12: Must Do not touch or touch any candles or wax oil in the containment room, and prevent smelling the gas in the containment room. When entering the containment room, be sure to wear protective clothing and remain vigilant at all times. 】

Looking at the small words in front of him, Shu Mo was silent for a moment and then silently put it away. Greedy stood behind him and glanced at what Shu Mo was stepping on. Just as he was about to continue to follow, he found that the wax oil that was motionless under Shu Mo's feet suddenly began to flow, and they slowly flowed towards One of the seven sins in front of me is like catching prey, wanting to gather together and completely wrap up greed.

Then Greedy glanced at Shu Mo secretly, and then trampled the things on the floor without saying a word.

A vague, dizzying scream came out. The moment Shu Mo lowered his head, he saw in a trance that there seemed to be hideous blood marks on his arms. There were clear coughs, and figures gradually appeared in the gray fog. They pinched their necks, grabbed their hair, then covered their faces, hunched over their waists, and began to cough one after another.

Painful gasps echoed in his ears, and Shu Mo felt dizzy. A woman with red crystals on her face whispered in front of him:

"Doctor, how long... can I live?"

"Your illness It's very serious. The 'red crystal disease' has infected your lungs. Make arrangements for your funeral as soon as possible."

The woman's voice came, her calm tone seemed inhumane, but it was just numbness, the numbness of seeing too many deaths.

"I don't have any other family members anymore. It's okay to die."

"..."

"Go to the palace."

"What?"

"Go to the kingdom. There may be medicine that can save you there."

In front of Shu Mo The gray fog slowly dissipated, and a cough that was very close to him suddenly came from his ears. The young man was startled by the cough, and his heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw Greedy frowning, and then held down From his own throat, from his open mouth, red crystals like crumbs were slowly pushed out, and then fell to the ground one by one. Greedy turned his head left and right, and when Shu Mo looked over, he grabbed it. , and lines of hyphae grew on his face, repairing the injuries on his body.

"I'm fine."

Greedy coughed again. For him, the current situation was indeed just a minor problem, but looking at the man's appearance, he finally stretched out his hand helplessly and said to Greedy: "Come to me Come."

Greedy's eyes lit up and he looked at the person in front of him. He stretched out his hand as if he was flattered and took his hand quickly, so that Shu Mo couldn't even tell that he just wanted Greedy to follow him.

But greed had already grasped his right hand. The man stood beside him, with a smile of joy suddenly on his lips. His fingers were tightly clasped on Shu Mo's wrist, with a strong force, like a bundle. Shu Mo's chain is like a chain. Once you get entangled, you can never get rid of it.

Shu Mo struggled uncomfortably, but Greedy seemed to feel nothing. He rolled his eyes in a circle. In desperation, Shu Mo could only let him hold his hand. After getting close to Shu Mo, the surrounding feeling The lingering malice around Greed faded away as if blown away by the wind. Greed seemed to have entered a completely safe environment. As long as he was around the young man, he seemed to have entered a safe paradise. Under his protection, no threats from pollutants can harm him.

Greedy slowly turned his head, feeling this strange sense of security. He turned to look at Shu Mo with a very serious look in his eyes: "Shu Mo, thank you."

The black-haired young man paused in his steps. He looked at Greedy and said Hearing the other party say word by word: "You are protecting me, Shu Mo."

Shu Mo looked at Greedy's sincere look and opened his mouth, acting as if it was his first time to be exposed to this kind of gratitude. How to answer, finally said: "This is what I should do."

"...You are so kind." Greedy smiled happily.

Shu Mo glanced at him again, feeling uncomfortable for some reason. He responded in a low voice, but missed the almost silent words murmured by the man: "But you treat everyone else like this." Okay?"

Thick, paranoid emotions surged through Greedy's heart like asphalt, but they were hard to get rid of, let alone erase. His eyes were as pure as crystal, but when he looked at the young man's back, they suddenly changed. It turned into a deep purple color that was so strong that it seemed like it was injected with venom.

I want you to just look at me, I want you to just stay with me.

It is a kind of longing and longing rooted in the deepest heart of greed, and it grows stronger day by day, like a monster being fed. Even if you just give him a little benefit at the beginning, you will continue to ask for it until you can't wait to feed him. The person is completely devoured.

Shu Mo's hand held his so warmly that he didn't want to be abandoned by it anyway.

Shu Mo didn't notice the strangeness of greed. He continued to walk forward. Within two steps, he felt as if he had traveled through time and arrived at another era hundreds of years ago.

Here, what is depicted in the mural is not the god of the tower, but the former emperor. The tyrant rides on the giant beast and tramples everything wantonly. The walls of the monastery are embedded with colorful flower windows. Shu Mo stands on the ground and watches. A group of children were sitting on the swings, playing happily.

Seeing him coming, the children walked towards him, then circled around him, stood in front of him, and sang hymns to him.

Shu Mo stopped where he was, and Greedy seemed to have pressed the pause button. The two people stood together, holding hands. In the flower window of the monastery, there was even bright sunlight shining from the flower window. When it comes out, it is rendered by the glass window and turns into a colorful brilliance, which is sprinkled on these children without hesitation.

Shu Mo stood next to Greedy, and the purple-haired man and him were illuminated equally by the colored light. They listened together, listening to the five sculptures carved from candles, which would leave thick wax on the spot when they walked. children's singing.

Their songs were clear and sweet. The heads outlined by the gray mist had exactly the same face. The heads of these children who looked exactly the same had lit candles one after another. Shu Mo took a step back and was almost overwhelmed by the light emanating from in front of him. Shrouded in thick fog, the songs sung by the choir were extremely sweet, but they were singing a terrifying nursery rhyme with a crisp, dreamlike voice.

[A foolish king wants to save his country.

The incompetent king was helpless and watched the capital collapse instantly.

The incompetent king did the only right thing: let the Lord of Gray Mist save everything. 】

Shu Mo closed his eyes and was forced to listen to the entire song. When the singing stopped, these children smiled similarly and walked towards Shu Mo. As they walked, the children were like melted wax. One by one, they slowly melted on the floor, and they gradually melted together. The gray mist produced by the burning became more and more dense and pungent. Greedy clenched his hand, and a sickle gradually took shape in his hand. Looking at the pollutants approaching him in front of him, Shu Mo took a step forward at the moment he was about to take action. He broke free from the greedy hand, then stretched out his hand and pinched it out in front of several children. Their core fire.

With a pop, the thick gray mist slowly dissipated. Shu Mo pressed it one by one. When he extinguished all the candles, the several gradually melting pollutants slowly returned to their original state. They stared blankly at the things in front of them. Under Shu Mo's gaze, the person's extinguished head suddenly appeared. Then, several people hugged each other and cried loudly.
