Everything has a price. Nightmares seem to be the most direct fulfillment of this sentence. But I slept very well, and as soon as I closed my eyes, nightmares came.

I asked the old man if I would always be like this. The old man shook his head and told me no. The killer is also a skilled worker, and it wouldn't be very torture if he kept doing this. When the balance payment was credited, I received my first package.

When I opened the door, the package was clearly placed at the door, as if waiting for me. The big eyes on the package just looked straight at me. It reminds me of a classic advertising slogan: "Look at me again and I'll drink me." ”

I took the package into the house and woke up the old man who was still snoring. He opened his eyes scoldingly, and at a glance he saw the package in my hand. The wrapped eyes looked at him, and he was suddenly refreshed. So after nearly five minutes of staring at the package, he squeezed out the following sentence from his mouth: "I see. ”

After that, he lay down on the bed again, and after a while he snored again. I just stood there awkwardly holding my package. I don't know if I should put it aside or open it.

Legend has it that the god Prometheus stole fire from the sky and gave it to mankind, and humans learned to use fire, and the main god Zeus was very annoyed, and in order to counteract the great benefits of fire to mankind, Zeus decided to let disaster also befall the world. He ordered his son, Hephaestus, the god of fire, to make a woman out of clay.

Then the sons and daughters of Zeus, the gods of heaven, came to dress up the woman. The god of fire spun a golden hairband for her, the goddess of wisdom wore a crown of flowers for her, the goddess of love bestowed upon her all kinds of charming charms, and the messengers of the gods taught her to speak all kinds of beautiful languages. Zeus asked him to destroy humanity and named her "Pandora", which means "the one who is granted all merit."

Zeus gave Pandora a sealed box full of scourges, calamities, and pestilences for her to give to the man who married her. Prometheus, convinced that Zeus had bad intentions towards mankind, warned his brother Epitheus not to accept Zeus's gifts. But he did not listen to the advice and married the beautiful Pandora. Driven by curiosity, Pandora opened the box.

Immediately all the calamities, pestilences and scourges in it flew out. Mankind has since been afflicted with calamities, pestilences, and scourges. And before the beautiful thing "Hope", which Athena, the goddess of wisdom, quietly placed at the bottom of the box in order to save the fate of mankind, flew out of the box, the treacherous Pandora closed the box.

If there really is a Pandora's box in this world, maybe this is the one in front of me right now. And everything in this world is full of temptations. I don't know what kind of wish this box will fulfill for me, but I've heard so many incredible possibilities in the old man's story.

There are many people in this world who have great aspirations, and most of the people who live in the world ask for something. As an added bonus, this attraction is deadly. Maybe the moment I open the box again, the golden flowers will come true, and I don't have to kill anymore, I can get the memory of the day I missed.

I carefully opened the box, and the packaging was tight. In fact, the feeling of unpacking is very interesting, and I think everyone who receives the parcel has felt this way. Anticipation always makes people's hearts beat faster. And what kind of surprise will it give me.

My eyes widened when the box was fully open. Then I cursed in my heart: "Damn!" I couldn't believe my eyes, and found a box of sleeping pills lying in the box. I can't describe how I felt. It's like you go to a very brutal talent show and win first place, only to find out that the prize is just a certificate. Even if the prize is a piece of, it's a little better to accept than that.

I just looked at the sleeping pills in the box, and I couldn't relax for a while. After a while I woke the old man up again and threw sleeping pills on his bed. He looked up at me and saw that I was looking at him with an angry face. I couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing him smiling happily, I asked him, "This is what you call the reward for fulfilling your wishes." You explain to me what is going on with this sleeping pill that treats the symptoms but not the root cause. ”

The old man smiled even more happily, then pointed to the sleeping pills and said, "This is already reliable." That's better than an empty box. ”

"What you said before... ”

"Young man, haven't you heard that there is a thing called a lottery in this world? Giving you some sweetness once in a while is deadly. ”
