Chapter 45 "Don't act like a spoiled brat."
Chapter 45 "Don't act like a baby."
The choir cried one after another. The wax figures that had gradually melted returned to their original appearance. The thick gray mist also dissipated. Shu Mo looked in front of him and sobbed. Several children looked at each other in silence with Greedy. The purple-haired man didn't have much expression on his face. He just looked at Shu Mo intently. Then, the man suddenly lowered his head and looked at the man who had unknowingly clung to him. The wax on his calves seemed to blend with him.
Greedy's long hair was grabbed. He stretched out his hand and pulled up his satin-like hair. A piece of purple hair slid across his delicate face and fell on his fair face to form chaotic marks. There was something strange about this scene. of beauty.
"These waxes..." He crushed the warm white wax on his fingertips with his hands. The man's hands were wearing dark black gloves. With a little force, the liquid slowly melted like a ball of soft grease. It turns into a ball of dirt that sticks to the gloves.
He lowered his head and sniffed, then suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "It smells really special."
Greedy turned his face to look at Shu Mo, his eyebrows spread, revealing a surprisingly clean smile, as if he had discovered What secrets are there? He was about to tell the master a flattering hound-like smile with a pure smile: "Greed has seen this kind of thing before."
"If there is no thought and soul to cast it, then these candles will not become exquisite works of art. "His words were spoken in a calm tone, and the content in them gave people a very bad feeling. Shu Mo's eyes fell on his gloves, and he heard Greed continue to say: "There once was a wax figure She wanted to create the most perfect work in her mind, but later she found that she couldn't do it despite all her efforts. By chance, she finally found the most perfect materials. "
"And the sources of those materials are so cheap. Convenient."
Greedy's melodious voice was as low and quiet as a piano piece, as if he was just telling a story. The corners of his lips gradually rose, and the smile on his face became charming.
Shu Mo said: "That's enough."
The man's voice stopped suddenly. He blinked and looked at the expressionless Shu Mo. Greedy narrowed his eyes and still had a faint smile on his lips. His expression at this time gave people a strong sense of discomfort. Greedy seemed to want to continue talking. Go down, but looking at Shu Mo's appearance at this time, the man's Adam's apple moved, and finally stopped here.
Shu Mo never thought greed was a bad thing, and he knew the danger of the other party. He just acted very well-behaved in front of Shu Mo, like a chained monster. But one thing neither party is quite sure about is: whether the reins are tight or not.
"I already know the source of the material."
Shu Mo looked at the choir in front of him. He already knew how other experimenters contained the opponent. They only needed to provide "materials" to the containment room regularly and then stabilize the opponent's condition. Can.
Due to the characteristics of O-11-GH-Lord of Gray Mist, once the supply of wax oil is insufficient, it will directly cause the opponent to break through containment.
[Article 23: The O-11-GH-1 'Chorus' will gather together regularly to sing hymns. During this period, their melting speed will accelerate. When the chanting of the hymns is solid, the chants will The chorus will melt rapidly and gradually assimilate into O-11-GH-2. When O-11-GH-2 is formed, the gray mist will spread faster. When O-11-GH-2 burns out, O-11 -GH-The Lord of Gray Fog will come in the chant and cure the disease here as agreed.
Please do whatever it takes to prevent O-11-GH, the Lord of the Gray Mist, from coming to this world. 】
"Before they come to the second floor, in order to prevent O-11-GH-the Lord of Gray Mist from coming to the world, the towns on the lower floors will hold 'ceremonies' regularly. They will select a group of lucky people and give them... Family compensation."
"Of course, in the preaching of the local priests, the sacrifices of those people were not meaningless, but they did not die in vain, but to contribute to a better world."
"So be a hunter . When they arrived, they even refused to hand over O-11-GH-1 and had conflicts with the hunters who went to the lower level because they believed that dying as a sacrifice was an honor."
Greed looked at the choir in front of him. Said: "But after arriving on the second floor, this ritual was abolished, because the Life Factory will regularly provide materials to the experiment."
Shu Mo held his arm, which was an action he would make when he was emotionally nervous. , because he has realized the problem: "So O-11-GH is suddenly abnormal now, is it because...?"
"It's because there is a problem with the 'material' of the life factory."
Greedy's voice is always so direct, So straightforward, he didn't seem to know how to hide it at all: "They claimed that there was a flaw in their production line, and temporarily cut off the supply of materials to the laboratory."
"Of course, this kind of situation has not happened before."
Greedy continued: "Their production lines are always good and bad. In a few days, their production lines will be fine on their own."
Shu Mo looked at the pollutants that were still crying in front of him. His green eyes had always looked very... It was translucent, but now it seems to have been cast into a shadow.
"What if they are always bad?"
Shu Mo heard himself saying in a very dry voice: "The feed and materials of the laboratory are supplied by the Life Factory. What if they keep claiming that there is a problem with their industrial line?"
" Then, we may have to use some relatively simple and crude methods to control these pollutants." Greedy said cruel words in a pleasant voice, and it was obvious that he didn't care much about these.
Relatively simple and crude method.
Shu Mo looked at the choir in front of him, and then at the candles under his feet.
Every drop of wax oil flowing on the ground seems to contain the blood and tears of countless people.
But if O-11-GH breaks through containment, the casualties will be far more than that.
Everything the Life Factory has done seems to have prevented more deaths and injuries to some extent.
But is this really their purpose?
The importance of Life Factory to the tower is so profound. If something goes wrong with them...
Shu Mo suddenly became dazed and looked at him greedily. The man came forward and leaned over Shu Mo when he was distracted. He whispered in his ear: "Besides, even if there is a problem with the Life Factory, won't you still be there?"
When Shu Mo came back to his senses, he saw Greedy looking straight at him, his eager eyes full of desire for him. , the fanatical admiration and belief in Shu Mo as a person and existence. When he first met Greed, the fanaticism in his eyes was enough to scare people. However, in just a few days of contact, Shu Mo discovered that in Greed's eyes, Not only did his emotions not subside at all, but they became more distorted and sickly.
It was as if Shu Mo was asking for a piece of his flesh, Greedy would cut it off without hesitation, then kneel on the ground and offer it to him.
"What do you mean?" Shu Mo seemed to be frightened, and the hairs all over his body stood up. He didn't understand where the madness in Greedy's eyes came from. He didn't do anything, but he found that the people around him looked more and more strange day by day. Anyone would be shocked by this.
"As long as you are here, even if something goes wrong, you can calm down the situation."
Greedy looked at Shu Mo and replied without thinking. The trust in Shu Mo in his eyes had reached a blind level, even if Shu Mo Mo now suddenly told Greedy that he was an angel flying in the sky with wings on his back and could kill pollutants by singing alone. Greedy would also nod and say: You are right.
Shu Mo... Shu Mo no longer wanted to understand the logic and thoughts of greed. He turned back and looked at the choir in front of him. These carved wax figures were still hugging each other and crying non-stop. The figures were outlined by smoke. Their heads were pressed together, and occasionally their companion's face would begin to deform due to a few sneezes. They looked exactly the same and looked almost like they were carved by the same sculptor. Looking at their appearance, Shu Mo sighed helplessly and decided to restore the containment room to its original state first.
But to be honest, at the moment when Shu Mo was a little confused and even started to get into trouble, Greedy's words to him gave him a strange sense of encouragement. Shu Mo suddenly discovered that he was also expected by others.
That kind of unwavering affirmation, completely blind trust and unhesitating choice cannot be faked. To a certain extent, such extreme feelings mean distortion and abnormality, but for Shu Mo, he is There have been few times in history that I have been so firmly trusted by others.
'Want to be my messenger? '
This sentence suddenly flashed through Shu Mo's mind. For a moment, he felt that greed and hope were slightly similar. When this idea appeared in the young man's mind, he even wanted to laugh, but he smiled. , he suddenly frowned.
Shu Mo put down the things in his hands, turned around, and looked behind him. Then he saw that no matter where he was or when he looked back, he would always look at him and stare at him greedily. His every move was imprinted in her eyes, eyes that longed for everything from him.
Shu Mo turned around and his body trembled slightly. It was him who would choose not to look at him before, but this time he chose to look at him without blinking. In the monastery-like containment room, Greed's brilliant colors Under the window, his delicate and beautiful face was illuminated by the colorful rainbow light. His whole body was like an angel falling in the golden light, and even his hair was rendered into a faint light white.
It was a breathtaking beauty, as gorgeous as a fragile crystal. As long as he stretched out his hand, it would break in front of him. There was no difference between his face and appearance, but Shu Mo was there. Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him with an unprecedented look.
Then, he saw Greed standing there and gave him a gentle smile.
Shu Mo's heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong?"
the man asked softly.
"You..."
Shu Mo looked at him. Before he could say anything, he saw the wax figures of the choir glaring at the man in front of him from behind Greedy. After pouring down a ball of wax oil, he threw it hostilely at the greedy person in front of him.
I lost it!
The purple-haired man looked at Shu Mo. Before the gentle smile on his lips disappeared, he suddenly changed his expression at that moment. The moment Greed turned around, the expression on his face turned into a crazy look. , he swung at the wax figures behind him, and saw a pale white sickle rapidly taking shape in his hand. The next second, the bodies of the wax figures were neatly divided into two from their chests, and they slowly Falling to the ground, the faces outlined by the gray mist stared indifferently at the greed in front of them, and an indescribable turbid malice emerged. However, when they saw Shu Mo walking behind them, the expressions of the several children changed, and suddenly they began to burst into tears.
Shu Mo: "..."
Shu Mo glanced at the choir, and then at Greedy. After the purple-haired man rolled his eyes, he put away his giant scythe and said to Shu Mo kindly: " Can I cry too?"
Shu Mo: "..."
"That's enough." Shu Mo pressed his head and asked Greed to help him put the choir's body back into place. The breeders who have been with the Chorus for the longest time may be swallowed up by the sudden gray mist if they are slightly negligent. However, even if Shu Mo calmed down their bodies, several people just raised their heads and looked at him, and then said it didn't matter. , they look like this originally.
"Good boy." Shu Mo touched their looming heads and coaxed softly: "You must be obedient."
As he said this, he completely failed to notice the suddenly widened eyes of the man next to him. This expression remained until Greed left. The time in the containment room still lingered on him. The experimenter he had seen before hurried over and thanked Shu Mo: "That's great..."
She glanced at Shu Mo and then at Greedy. Although she already felt something was wrong, in order to avoid causing problems, she continued: "There seems to be something wrong with H-77-HU-Son of Smile. Shu Mo, can you... go and have a look?" "
After she said this, Greedy suddenly turned his head to look at her. That terrifying look made the woman take a few steps back. She didn't even dare to approach Shu Mo anymore, as if the young man's side was a restricted area. Shu Mo seemed to have been thinking about something from the beginning. After seeing this, he nodded to the woman and replied: "I will go and have a look."
"Thank you for your hard work." The woman immediately felt like she was being pardoned. left. It was so pitiful that she originally wanted to ask Shu Mo why he could deal with such terrifying pollutants so easily, but the greedy look in his eyes... was really terrifying.
"What's wrong with you?" Now there were only two of them left here. Greedy had originally planned to accept Shu Mo's condemnation and sincerely admit his mistake and then refuse to repent, but Shu Mo's tone was calm. He seemed a little unsure of how to deal with greed, and his voice even sounded strangely gentle.
Greedy blinked his eyes and followed Shu Mo. He said to Shu Mo: "I don't like other people to get close to you."
After he said this, Shu Mo didn't react and continued to talk to Shu Mo. Walking forward. The footsteps of the two people overlapped at that moment, and Greedy followed another step. For a long time, this kind of declaration of sovereignty and some offensive words from Shu Mo only attracted the other party: "Hmm."
Greedy's eyes Narrowing his eyes slightly, he suddenly stopped and looked at Shu Mo's back: "I don't like other pollutants to come near you either."
The black-haired young man in front stopped for a moment. He stood there, unable to see clearly from his greedy eyes. The two people were facing each other silently. In the long corridor, Shu Mo turned his face and looked at him. He didn't know if it was a greedy illusion, but he even saw a faint gentleness on the young man's face.
"It's not the first day I've been in contact with you." Shu Mo said, "What else do you want to do?"
Greedy green eyes stared at him closely. After a moment, the man took a step forward. He stretched out his hand and pressed the button tentatively. Holding Shu Mo's shoulder, the black-haired young man turned back. He couldn't see the greed behind him, but he could feel the hand reaching out, like a shallow temptation, first touching it gently, and then noticing After receiving his indulgence, she tightened her grip even harder without hesitation.
"I'm thinking..." Greedy's voice became deeper and deeper: "What if I also became a pollutant, or was locked up in a holding room for killing people."
"Then you will call me a good boy like you just did. ?"
Greedy looked at the young man in front of him eagerly, but Shu Mo didn't reply. It wasn't until Greedy lowered his head to see the expression on his face that Shu Mo sighed, then pushed his hand away, and the young man continued to move forward. As they walked, Greed was left in place, looking at him with an aggrieved and unprepared expression:
"...Don't act like a baby."
