Endless Debt.

Chapter 148 Food Chain

"You seem to admire this evil spirit."

Seeing Gero leave, Vika served another glass of wine for Will, and then said.

"I can't say it's admiration... probably it's an expectation," Will said drunkenly, uncertainly, "When you were young, you must have had that kind of delusion. There is an absolute power to implement the justice of the world. But as we grow older, we also realize that this is impossible."

"Do you think the evil spirit has become this force?" Vika asked.

"Who knows? But thinking of such a monster chasing the wicked, it will inevitably make people feel that the world is not so bad. If you do evil, then there will be monsters chasing you until you pay the price," Wei "It's like a sword hanging over everyone's heads," Earl thought.

Will's words stopped suddenly, and he looked suspiciously at Vika, the mysterious and distinguished bartender.

"You don't know what an evil spirit is, do you?"

Vika smiled, but before he could say anything, Will waved his hand quickly, and while stopping Vika from speaking, he spoke first.

"Don't say anything, don't say anything, even if you know something, it's best to keep silent."

"Why? Do you think the evil spirit will come to kill me?" Vika said.

"No, it's just... Do you know why such a legend scares Zero like that?" Will suddenly said something else.

"Because a legend is a legend, it's not a certain person, it's not a monster, it's not a supernatural phenomenon, and it's not something messy... In short, it's vague and has no definite substance."

Will probably drank too much, and his words were rambling, but Vika listened carefully to the alcoholic's words.

"Without an exact entity, people will continue to speculate, and the guesses will become all kinds of strange. In the constant psychological hints of everyone, the legend will become more and more crazy."

"Build fear in people's hearts?" Vika understood what Will meant.

"Yes, plant fear in the bottom of your heart, maybe one day, people will be scared to death just by hearing the panting of the evil spirit." Will laughed loudly as he said.

"Let people live in fear? It sounds a little bad." Vika raised his own objection.

Will glanced at Vika, then asked, "Why do you think you can control this, Vika?"

"They respect me."

"Yes, but this kind of respect is only limited to the bar, and it is also based on the premise that you can bring benefits. When everyone is jealous, no one cares about respect, but there is one exception."

Will holds up a finger.

"fear.

Even those who are red-eyed will find a little rationality under the absolute fear. "

After drinking the wine in the glass, Will hiccupped and continued.

"For the villains, what is needed is not their awe, but their fear of you.

Whether it is the Great Rift or the entire Opals, human society is actually like a jungle, and those who abide by the rules are those poor little lambs who are preyed upon by wolves who break the rules.

The appearance of the evil spirit broke this deformed food chain.

Now the wolves are no longer just predators. In the eyes of the evil spirits, the wolves are also the prey, being preyed upon by the tyrannical evil spirits. "

"That doesn't sound like something you could say," Vika said.

"That's right, these words were said by White. Since that night, his mentality has completely changed. Now he is a fan of Evil Spirit, and he thinks Evil Spirit is a punishment angel sent by God."

Will shook his head while talking, distressed, "Young people nowadays have brain problems."

"What about Gero? You should know something, so you said that to him, right?" Vika asked tentatively, and the routine words from the guests were the source of a lot of information.

"Can you waive my drink bill?" Will blinked.

"This is my request."

As Vika spoke, he brought another glass of wine. It was rare for him to be so curious about something, and he leaned on his arm and listened quietly.

"You care about evil spirits?" Will said, "I often hear some rumors, Vika, such as your mysterious boss..."

Will was half-sentenced, then laughed again, interrupting himself.

"I know what to say and what not to say. Speaking of Jie Luo, he seems to have hooked up with those merchants recently. He probably used some disgraceful method to get the wrong goods from those merchants."

Will shrugged, whispering.

"We all understand that in addition to the evil spirit, there is an absolute predator in this city, which is above everyone... Zero will be targeted sooner or later."

"Not bad news, although I already knew about it." Vika responded.

"I just said that you can't hide all this from you, you just want to confirm it again from the perspective of ordinary people like us."

"Almost, but you... no, I quite like your nephew's predator theory." Vika admitted.

"I hope he doesn't think about so many messy things, it's really annoying." Will sighed and shook his head.

"At least your nephew is in awe now," Vika said. "Sometimes you need to burn a kid before he realizes how scary fireworks are."

Will nodded, then laughed again.

"Compared to these, I'm more curious about whether I can see Gero tomorrow.

What do you think?Vika. "

……

Wandering Fork Road is not a specific place, it is more inclined to be a large group of buildings in an area. These crooked and weird buildings are connected by promenades or air corridors built on rock walls. Connect across the Great Rift Gondola.

At this moment, Gero was running wildly in an air corridor, with the hazy fog above his head, and the billowing fog sea illuminated by the light below.

He strode forward in the shaky air corridor, under the gas mask, his own violent panting continued.

From a certain moment, Zero felt inexplicable fear, and he didn't know where this fear came from, but it dragged him into the sea of ​​ice so easily.

The strange sound of footsteps lingered in my ears, with a steady beat, it kept hitting my heart until it was completely crushed.

Gero was sure that there was something chasing him, but he couldn't see it, and he couldn't find it in this isolated air corridor, but he was sure that it was beside him, Stare at yourself.

"Be careful, you are being followed by evil spirits."

Will's words lingered in his mind like a curse, he didn't believe in such things, but now the reality he was familiar with was distorting and collapsing a little bit.

Running out of the air corridor, Zero stepped into another building. He slowed down his pace, trying not to show panic, and reached into his pocket, grabbing the revolver tightly.

On the street, people blended into the dark tones, and the heavy breathing under the gas mask continued, like a mummy lying in a coffin.

Under the attack of fear, Gero felt that everyone was watching him secretly, until he couldn't stand the sight any longer, and hid in the alley instead.

Zero was advancing in the narrow and dark alley, he was very familiar with this place, it was like a maze, few people could catch themselves out from here.

But today was an exception. At the end of the dark alley, a black shadow blocked the way. He raised his head slowly, revealing blue eyes.

Jie Luo didn't know this person, and he wasn't sure if the other person was human, but the moment he met those eyes, it was like an evil voice whispering in his heart, revealing the other person's identity.

"Evil spirit!"

Gero called out his name in horror as the Entity strode towards him.

He took out the revolver, and in panic, Jie Luo pulled the trigger and emptied the bullets. Some bullets hit the wall, some emptied, and some hit the evil spirits, but he seemed to have no feeling, still big. Step forward and lower the hammer towards Zero.

"The first is to limit the ability to move."

The evil spirit said that he broke Jie Luo's calf with a hammer, and he cried out in pain. Then he pulled out the dagger at his waist and tried to resist, but another claw hammer fell and broke Jie Luo's arm.

"Then disarmament."

A little bit of blood splashed on the evil spirit's face, but he didn't care, still maintaining his expert demeanor.

Jie Luo has been completely frightened by the cruelty of the evil spirit. The evil spirit's words sound like cooking, first boil water, serve the dishes, and then put in the seasoning... The words coupled with his violent actions make him look like a cruel butcher .

"The end is keeping the target quiet."

As the evil spirit spoke, it grabbed Jie Luo's collar. In Jie Luo's desperate eyes, a wave of fear ran through his mind.
