Yu Ziyu can confirm one point very easily.

This guy... is eating, as if he has been hungry for too long and knows that he is about to face a fierce battle, so he is replenishing before the battle. This is why he has stayed on the third floor and never moved - obviously , there are many supernatural creatures locked there, which are his food.

It was a huge mass of red energy, and what was even more astonishing was that it was constantly squirming and expanding.

Gluttony.

This is definitely a tasteless guy, Yu Ziyu thought with some disgust.

If Jealousy gives him the feeling of a clingy and clingy puppy that is barely cute, Gluttony is like a messy trash can that will make people vomit because of his dirty smell if he gets close to it.

He eats anything and refuses anything that comes, as long as it can be digested into part of his strength, so he is always eating, constantly becoming stronger, and even dreams of eating Yu Ziyu, so that he can be completely integrated with him and never be eaten again. separate.

Of course, Yu Ziyu was not interested, even if Gluttony even offered to say that he was willing to be absorbed by him, this did not cover up the disgusting thoughts that this kind of thing brought to people, and he was grateful for it.

With the sirens getting louder and louder, Yu Ziyu could feel that the presence of Gluttony was increasing... His strength increased step by step, and Lou Chen quickly walked from the corridor to the stairs. He looked down, and soon, Notice something strange - the hour and minute hands on the wall clock are spinning continuously and explosively.

Yu Ziyu followed his gaze and narrowed her eyes slightly, also falling on the copper clock hanging in the hall.

He had already noticed it when he first entered the headquarters of the Supernatural Management Department. It was hung above the door, not facing the people who walked in, but facing the people inside the hall, indicating that it was more than just a living thing. It's just a rusty clock, but a warning of some kind.

And the current situation confirms Yu Ziyu's idea -

it is it that makes the most piercing scream.

Almost immediately, he noticed that the people who were walking around in the hall gradually stopped at this moment. The fingers of the people reading the newspaper were stiff, and the operator held the phone blankly, as if time had frozen, and they all opened their eyes wide. He closed his eyes and raised his head to look at the giant wall clock, as if all his attention was captured.

People with coats put their hands into their pockets and clutched the fabric tightly, while those with exposed fingers were trembling without exception, as if there was a nuclear bomb about to be thrown over their heads, making their legs so weak that they dared not move. , can only look at the wall clock mechanically.

It's just that they behaved so rudely.

All of them were sure this had never happened before.

A few days ago, Jealousy suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. After the hands of the dial swung wildly, the hour and minute hands only stayed at ten at the same time. They were amazed at the powerful ability of the boss on the first floor and couldn't help but produce it. Fear, but the current situation is even more terrifying than before.

You must know that this watch has really not sounded for a long time, because there are almost no mutants that can trigger its alarm.

And now, although the pointer is still swinging, it indicates that something unusual is coming.

It's not like jealousy jumping repeatedly between 9 and 10, like a swinging wall grass, but the hour and minute hands are constantly banging against each other, which is simply self-abuse in disguise. Obviously... just hanging The numerical value measured by the table can no longer reflect the level of this newly appeared monster.

Yu Ziyu's eyes stayed on the dial for a few seconds. Such a noisy sound made him feel unhappy, so he squinted his eyes, and a trace of scarlet flashed in his black eyes.

"Be quiet."

For those who could notice the figure upstairs, Yu Ziyu just glanced at the wall clock, but then, something strange happened instantly - the alarm suddenly silenced, and the hour and minute hands Tightly stopped in a fixed position.

Yu Ziyu's unexpected intervention caused the hall to fall from panic into sticky silence. Clear confusion slowly appeared on the faces of everyone who had not yet faded away from panic. They did not understand why the alarm suddenly stopped, as if The commotion was just an illusion, but the culprit cracked his knuckles and looked away nonchalantly.

"What did you just do?" Lou Chen asked. Yu Ziyu turned her head and found that his brown eyes were looking at him unblinkingly, apparently taking in everything that had happened before.

"Do a good deed." Yu Ziyu responded calmly.

Expecting him to tell the truth is something Lou Chen will need to worry about in his next life, at least it won't be possible in this life.

"Wow -"

However, as soon as his words fell, everyone seemed to finally find their position in the chaos, so they hurriedly ran towards the door, as if they would lose their lives if they were any slower. A terrifying long roar drove them away, and they quickly escaped from here in panic.

He even saw someone stepping on his shoelaces and falling to the ground, then hurriedly stood up, grabbed the briefcase that fell on the ground, and rushed out, not caring about the embarrassed look on his face, and such people were not in the minority. , taking up about one-third of the hall.

The originally orderly hall suddenly became chaotic.

Yu Ziyu curled his lips.

Gluttony is not the strongest boss, but if the group of people facing him are in such a panic, he can't imagine the possibility that other monsters will be able to last for a round, and they should be restraining this group of disorderly subordinates. Lou Chen just watched them calmly as they fled to a safe place without issuing any harsh instructions.

It would be better to say that he made no move to stop it at all. This is a leader who lets things go their own way.

He glanced at Lou Chen and asked slowly: "Captain, are you watching the fun?"

"It's useless for them to stay here." Lou Chen tightened his lips and said slowly, his The side face is very cold.

"At least it can be used as a shield." Yu Ziyu said.

As his obviously mocking words fell, a strange atmosphere spread between the two.

"Don't make such a joke, it's not funny." Soon, Lou Chen glanced at Yu Ziyu, his tone a little wary, as if he realized for the first time the cold, evil and creepy side of him, "You can't do this."

" How to do it?" Yu Ziyu asked innocently, looking up at him, "What are you talking about?"

Lou Chen frowned.

Through his reaction, Yu Ziyu found that he found a little fun, and even started to enjoy it. Trying to provoke Lou Chen was more interesting than he thought. When this former partner he didn't want to see again was offended, his brown eyes would Darkening, like a kaleidoscope of deepening layers, with mesmerizing colors that made his already handsome face even more radiant.

He thinks Lou Chen is quite funny.

It's not like Yu Ziyu has never seen Lou Chen kill people in the game in order to survive. This person's blood is cold, almost comparable to that of a monster. As long as he can ensure that his things will not escape the control of his palm, he will not do it at all. No matter what means were used, what happened the last time they were separated was not pleasant at all.

Now that he met him in another identity, he was able to put on this righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, swearing to protect a seemingly innocent but suspicious photographer, serving as the captain of the good side's supernatural management department, and shamelessly saying that he was looking for his ex Partner... disgusting, really disgusting, he can remember that Yu Ziyu once existed as a player, but he can't remember what he did.

"Liar." Yu Ziyu muttered.

Then he frowned at what he said.

"Don't be so harsh on other people." Lou Chen said, obviously they were not talking about the same topic.

Despite the fact that Lou Chen's dark brown eyes were almost burning because he was deep in thought, he still maintained an incredible calmness. It was really impressive that a person of this age could do this.

"No wonder you don't want to be a minister. Now I finally understand you. You are just an empty shell."

"It's not that exaggerated. We are all just ordinary people." Lou Chen said lightly, and then his expression turned thoughtful. , said slowly, "Although now is not the time, I really want to clarify something before I die...Have I ever offended you?"

Although Yu Ziyu always opens his mouth and people want to block his mouth, every time he sees him Everyone will be amazed by his appearance at first sight, and correspondingly, all possible illusions will be quickly destroyed by his arrogant tone. However, although there is always a look of disdain and contempt on his face, He almost never takes the initiative to talk to people.

Maybe it feels more superior to ignore it.

But when facing Lou Chen, he would hardly miss any opportunity to ridicule him. In several of their conversations, Yu Ziyu took the lead in making personal attacks, as if seeing Lou Chen's misfortune would make him happy... Between them There shouldn't be such deep hatred in this world.

"If that's the case, I apologize. You can point out directly what I did wrong," Lou Chen said cautiously, "I don't want something I don't know to affect our future relationship."

This may be the first time for them. The occasion of the meeting has something to do with it. After all, a ceremony involving minced meat and a black robe covering one's face is obviously not a place that would leave a good first impression.

"It sounds sincere. After all, you don't remember when you offended me." Yu Ziyu said expressionlessly.

"So, you are targeting me." Lou Chen came to the conclusion.

"I'm not targeting you, how could you think so." Yu Ziyu looked surprised, "I thought you knew, I was just trying to spite you." Lou Chen: "..."

How could he still want something from Yu Ziyu? You said it with luck... In the final analysis, it was because of the other person's face and the vague feeling of vulnerability it gave him, right? That appearance is enough to make anyone who is sprayed with venom by him feel angry. It is also very misleading and can make people continue to make mistakes because of his appearance.

An evil enough person should not have such a beautiful face.

His speechless look once again caused a happy smile to appear on Yu Ziyu's lips.

Of course, it's not like he's gained nothing. At least Lou Chen now knows that the way to make Yu Ziyu happy quickly is for Lou Chen to be deflated. Although he doesn't know the principle at all, he is really considering whether to sort it out. own memory.

First of all, Yu Ziyu knew him before that, although he couldn't remember where he met him, after all, such a special young man would never forget it once he met him; secondly, his own attitude towards Yu Ziyu was also very strange, he never You never know when you can so easily develop a crush on someone you've only known for a short time.

The clues of the fait accompli were placed in front of him, and Lou Chen always felt that he had caught the tail of some truth.

——The sketchbook, the similar eyes, the person being mentioned.

He stared at Yu Ziyu for a while, which almost made the latter frown in disgust before he looked away and fell into deep thought.

But... no, it's impossible.

Just like the dislocation he discovered at the beginning, although they were the same rare pure black eyes, there was a big difference between the two. His intuition told Lou Chen that they were not the same person.

The forgotten and lost former partner hardly spoke. He would never let himself be the center of attention unless necessary, preferring that no one notice his existence. He was quiet and indifferent.

But Yu Ziyu seems to be very accustomed to the kind of scenes that attract everyone's attention and is full of incredible offensiveness. When the two astonishing titles of "Savior" and "New Minister of the Supernatural Management Department" fell on his head, his reaction was not The average person is apprehensive, but just bored and intractable, and has obviously had enough of being the centerpiece.

Although I know very well in my heart that they are not the same person...

but sometimes, Yu Ziyu feels too close to Lou Chen.

Although he couldn't remember what his former partner was like, because those memories were intermittent, Yu Ziyu's silent look at times really fit his blank memories perfectly... When he thought of this, Lou Chen couldn't help but be startled.

Suddenly, Yu Ziyu looked coldly: "Have you forgotten what time it is?"

"No."

Lou Chen knew very well that a huge creature was approaching in their direction. These conversations and thoughts only diverted part of his energy. Try to relax before danger approaches.

Lou Chen's hand was always on the weapon on his waist, and his eyes fell on the elevator in the corridor. Yu Ziyu knew that he must have some trump card, and he was evaluating and calmly finding a way.

After all, as a human being, he couldn't just rush in front of Gluttony and confront him head-on. You must know that the most precious ability of human beings is to be good at thinking, and the brain is an organ that no one should forget.

If Lou Chen really did this, Yu Ziyu would definitely think deep down in his heart that he was a fool rushing to die.

"It's coming." Lou Chen whispered. finally.

At the same time, the scene of a painting hanging in the corridor on this floor suddenly changed. It was originally a regular water pattern, but now it looks like it was scrawled by a child with a pen. , completely turned into a messy coil with mist, they continued to extend, changed frequently, and finally pointed to one place - the end of the corridor, the jumping elevator sign.

Lou Chen was looking at it. Apparently, it seemed to be conveying some internal message. Yu Ziyu could feel some aura on it. This was a unique prop in Hell Paradise. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"After today, I will tell you how this works." Lou Chen said after noticing his gaze.

But Yu Ziyu interrupted him disdainfully: "Keep the game props and play slowly by yourself."

He didn't need such a small thing with a detection function, he could feel what happened by himself. At this moment, he Sensing that the energy had stopped fluctuating at some point, Gluttony had obviously finished eating, and it had no food to support its continued expansion.

As for the elevator... Yu Ziyu sneered in her heart. She noticed the aura emitted by him when he stopped the alarm. This guy actually chose to take the elevator down like a human being. In this case, he didn't have to pretend to let him go. .

"..."

"There's good news and there's bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Yu Ziyu tilted her head and asked.

"Good news." Lou Chen said without hesitation. "That guy is gluttonous, so all those troublesome monsters you took in are probably dead."

Although the headquarters is not the main base for containment, but more like a transfer station, there are still a lot of monsters on the third level, and they are all ruthlessly devoured by an S-class descendant named "Gluttony"... No wonder that energy It has been experiencing explosive fluctuations.

Lou Chen looked like he wanted to ask something, but he held back, knowing very well that Yu Ziyu would not tell him why he knew it was gluttony.

"So... bad news?"

Yu Ziyu turned to look at Lou Chen, tapped his fingers on the railing, and said after a while: "He is always hungry."

So he will not be satisfied, so what is the next food? Naturally it goes without saying.

"...Very good, Gluttony." Lou Chen's lips moved, his eyes darkened. After a few seconds, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, "In this case, I also have good news and bad news."

Yu Ziyu did not wait. After he finished speaking, he had already made his choice: "Bad news."

Typical pessimism, Lou Chen thought.

"I know how to deal with gluttony."

Yu Ziyu snorted. It seemed that this small talk did not make Lou Chen lose his mind, but he was not interested in his plan because he also had his own arrangements.

"Are you sure this is bad news?" He glanced at Lou Chen with unclear meaning, "Are you kidding? I thought it was good news for you."

"Do you think so?" Lou Chen looked at him. Smiling, before Yu Ziyu could react, he quickly smoothed his smile and said, "The good news is, I'm going to deliver it to my door and let Gluttony eat me. I think you are annoying me so much. This should be good news, right?"

Yu Ziyu He was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Lou Chen suspiciously: "What are you talking about?"

"I was thinking that if I come back alive, you would tell me why you are angry." Lou Chen looked at him, his attitude was a little nervous. , he finally looked like a young man of his age, "I just don't quite understand why."

He once again took the initiative to throw an olive branch to him. If this was not an illusion, Yu Ziyu would say, Lou Chen's eyes were filled with There is a trace of desire that he is not aware of, just like the self-righteous guy from the past.

He wanted to get along well with him, this thought slipped through Yu Ziyu's mind.

Don't even know why I do this.

This is ridiculous.

"..."

However, Lou Chen was still staring at his lips intently, even ignoring the falling elevator that was getting closer and closer, as if this answer was more important to him now than the horrific things that were going to happen next. .

"Obviously, you are going to be disappointed." Yu Ziyu said coldly, "This is between me and Gluttony, you'd better not get involved."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black lightning flashed from the pocket of his slender windbreaker. It flickered and slid down. This time, Lou Chen finally saw clearly what he had noticed before but had no chance to take a closer look at - a rare pure-colored venomous snake.

Lou Chen must have seen it somewhere, not a few days ago, maybe even before they met...

Hell Paradise.

It landed gracefully on the smooth floor, making a subtle sound, and then quickly slid towards Lou Chen. Before he could drown in his thoughts and realize what had happened, it had opened its jaws and stabbed fiercely with its snake fangs. Into his calf.
