messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 162 The Feast at the End of the General Conference

Gift?

There were some accidents at the beginning. Today is Mann's birthday, why did he give him a gift.

But Mann was not prepared to make her think too much. He walked up to Chu, pulled her, and made her sit on a sofa. The sofa was facing the window, through which one could see the businessman at this moment. In the city, fireworks illuminate the night sky, lights connect the streets, and people celebrate, as if this banquet will never end.

Mann smiled and stood behind Chu, resting his hands on the back of the sofa.

"What do you think? Our city."

Looking at the scene outside the window for the first time, it was really beautiful. The people in the banquet smiled and enjoyed the feast in front of them, as if all the sins at this moment had nothing to do with them.

But also because of this, Chu Chu didn't belong here.

"This is your city." Chu said calmly.
"You have become the richest person, I should leave."

She has fulfilled the wish of the child who picked up the gold coin and became the richest person on the continent.She has also fulfilled, his greed.

"That's it..."

Behind Chu, Mann fell silent, but after a while, he smiled again and faced out the window.

"Do you still remember, we agreed at the beginning that everyone will get half of everything they earn."

The young man touched his pocket, and took out a transparent round gemstone. In the gemstone, he could see gold coins piled up like mountains.

This is a space gem, it has the largest storage space among all space props, and each one is priceless.

Mann put the transparent gem on Chu's hand.

"This is the half of you that exists with me, and then..."

As he spoke, he took out another gold coin from his pocket and placed it next to the gemstone.

"Now you are the richest person on the continent, stay here."

He lowered his eyes and didn't look at Chu. He hoped that Chu would accept his gift, but he might have already guessed what Chu's answer was.

"I will leave after taking what we agreed on. Except that, you should also know that I can't take anything with me."

"However." Chu stood up from the sofa, instead of looking at the city outside the window, he looked at Mann behind him, smiled, and reached out to pat his face.

"You look handsome when you keep your promise, and you've grown up too."

Mann lowered his eyes silently. He knew that Chu would say these things, but what he wanted to hear was not these things.

"boom!"

Outside the window, one of the most magnificent fireworks bloomed, and the crimson light spread, illuminating the city of merchants. This scene was like the celebration they passed by at the beginning of their journey.

Mann still remembered that when he was sitting on Jill's shoulders, he saw many people smiling and looking up at the fireworks in the sky. Only Chu, one person stood in the crowd with his head down.

What a pity, he thought at that time, Chu missed such a beautiful firework, next time, he must remind Chu to watch it carefully.

It's a pity that I missed the most beautiful flower this time.

In the room, the black mist dissipated, isolating all sounds. There was no sound of fireworks, laughter, or singing. The room was so silent that no sound could be heard or anything could be seen. In the world in front of me, it seemed as if Only the thick black mist was surging.

At this time, Mann finally experienced the feeling of the world for the first time. The black fog covered his vision, sealed his tongue, and blocked all his perception of the outside world. The cold feeling made his hands and feet numb.

He panicked, unable to speak out in fear.

Until the black mist gushed out of his body and rushed towards the figure in front of him, all the mist was absorbed by her.

After a long period of time, the silence passed.

Mann gradually saw the world in front of him clearly again, the light outside was restored, he heard the sound of the celebration again, and the fireworks were still blooming.

And at this time, he realized that Chu in front of him had quietly left, and he could no longer see her anywhere, as if she had never been here before, only a string of black bracelets fell to the ground.

Mann took two steps back dejectedly, and sat weakly on his seat.

He looked at his hand, where was the gold coin he was going to give to Chu just now.

He picked up the gold coin and looked at it in the palm of his hand. After a long time, he closed his eyes and smiled wryly.

"It turns out that you can't buy everything."

The banquet continued, people called the boy's name, and the whole continent celebrated him, celebrated him, and realized his greed.

······
When she returned to the wasteland, she first found that she was not in a wasteland, but in a pool.

She was lying on the side of the pool with her hands bound, and she quickly understood that this was the right place to punish the crime of greed.

Soon, the punishment began, and she felt thirst for the first time, a thirst like a fire burning in her throat, she seemed to feel smoke in her mouth, the strong tingling made her want to shout, but said Can't say a word.

She wanted to take a sip of water, because she was lying next to the pool water, and the cold pool water was only about five centimeters away from her mouth. This distance could be reached as long as she moved her mouth hard, and she could even smell it. Get that refreshing coolness.

So, Chu lowered her head and wanted to take a sip of the pool water, but when her mouth approached the pool water, the pool water receded slowly, and it was still near her mouth, but she just couldn't drink it.

Chu weakly raised his head, and the pool water gradually rose back to its original position.

Just like that, Chu was bound hands and feet and fell on the edge of the pool. When she wanted to drink water unbearably, the water in the pool would recede, and when she gave up, it would rise up again.

She was tormented by an unbearable thirst, but she couldn't reach the water in the pool that was close at hand.

This is the punishment of greed, which keeps you from ever getting what you want, and drives people crazy.

In hell, Mammon opened his eyes.

The sins it left to Mann were taken to the Wasteland of the Apostles before being assimilated as it wished.

This allows it to perceive what state Chu is in now.

"Her punishment has begun, and this time it's the punishment of greed." Mammon propped her head, leaned on a seat in front of a table, and said to several other people at the table.

There are six other people sitting at the long table. Their appearances are different, but there is one thing in common among them, they are all demons.

"Hehe." One of them covered his mouth and said, "What is the punishment for greed, Mamen, can you tell me?"

Mammon glanced at his mouth and didn't answer. This was one of the few memories it didn't want to recall the most, and he promised that he didn't want to suffer a second time for that kind of punishment.

"Do you think she will fall like us, or will she be forgiven?" Another person asked lightly.

"Who knows." Belphegor lazily lay on the table, wagging its sharp tail.

"Anyway, it won't be long before we know the result."
