Chapter 10: Gluttony

Human life is full of coincidences, and there are also all kinds of accidents.

But once it was an accident......

What is two times called together?

Wood looked at a man and a woman in the back seat of the SUV and felt the urge to abandon the car and run away.

So......

Why am I pulling two enemies?

The woman looks like she is about 40 years old, but she is very well maintained, she does not look old at all from the point of view of her face, her appearance is dignified, and a tight-fitting battle suit seems to be a gorgeous robe on her body, giving people a sense of grace, but the big sword on her back lowers this noble woman's posture by a few points.

The man next to him couldn't tell his age, he was of medium height, and his little eyes were always spinning, and he didn't know if he was delusional or something, but Wood always felt that this thief-eyed guy was staring at his mouth and the woman's mouth.

But......

Wood didn't dare to underestimate these two people, the car was driving well, but these two people suddenly appeared in the back seat, and Wood was so frightened that he almost didn't hit the tree.

And judging from the appearance of the two, they should not be hosts.

But they are definitely not teammates, because after getting in the car, both of them are wary of each other, although ...... Wood was also on the lookout for the two.

Looking through the rearview mirror, although the two of them are not abnormal on the surface, judging from the tiredness in their eyes and the wrinkles in their clothes, they should have just experienced a battle not long ago.

However......

What is this about my birds?

Look at me as a bully?

You're tired, why are you sitting in my car?

"I said... What are you going to do? ”

Wood really couldn't hold back, if these two people came up and attacked him, Wood wouldn't be so afraid. But these two goods are wary of each other behind themselves, which is a little creepy.

It's okay to call or not.

Listening to him, the two of them looked at him at the same time.

"Huh?"

The small-eyed man glanced at Wood suspiciously, and then snorted coldly: "I don't eat, not to mention that I don't know you, so it's impossible to eat you." ”

“???”

Who's going to invite you to dinner?

The dignified lady next to her continued, and as soon as she spoke, Wood was startled.

"This TM is an inexplicable deaf man, the old lady asks for directions, and he will kill me with a dagger."

“…… This aunt, I think you should add a ah or something to your tone. Of course, Wood also thought about this in his heart, although he was dignified on the surface, he spoke in a sisterly tone, which is worth complaining about.

The deaf man's eyes glared: "Slut, you still scold me!" ”

"The old lady scolded you what's wrong, you dwarf."

"It's useless for you to say I'm handsome, today it's either you die or I live!"

"You're handsome, and you don't pee on yourself."

"You... You...... Slut, if I marry a dog, I can't marry you. ”

“……”

Can anyone tell me what's going on with this donkey's lips versus the horse's mouth?

However, Wood also noticed that the deaf man's small eyes were staring at his mouth all the time, apparently lip reading.

But it's the first time that lips can be pronounced like this.

Why should I listen to this inexplicable quarrel, or just fight with these two people.

"This aunt ......"

Wood tried to speak, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the noblewoman.

"Who is your aunt, I'm only 19 years old."

“……!?”

The corners of Wood's mouth twitched, and he nodded calmly: "That sister is really mature." ”

Who believes it!

But......

Wood frowned.

For some reason, Wood had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

The deaf man was wary of him, with a faint murderous aura; But this mature 'girl' who calls herself '19' is only wary of him and has no intention of killing, as if he doesn't treat him as a contestant.

After all, each contestant is an enemy of each other, and it is normal to have the mentality of killing each other.

But this woman behaved a little weirdly, as if she wasn't a contestant at all.

The strange argument between the two continues, but the woman's words catch Wood's attention.

"Dwarf, which village are you from, when you go back, the old lady will bring someone to destroy you!!"

"Who's going to shit, let me show you, you woman is really a pervert."

"Wait......"

Wood laughed dryly and interrupted, "This 'mature' big sister, which village are you from?" ”

"Nonsense!"

The woman glared at Wood angrily: "Your car is driving from Lae City, and it must be Lae Village below Lae City." ”

The city of Lae? The village of Lae?

Wood raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing something.

After a long groan, Wood organized the language: "Then what is the purpose of your visit this time?" ”

"Do you need to talk about that?"

The woman tilted her head: "Of course, it's to eliminate 'gluttony', it can only split once in 20 years, this time we must find a way to eliminate gluttony, and we can return to the ground." ”

Gluttony?

"That's ......"

Wood nodded, but said in his heart.

The city he went to had already shown that this world should have been like the earth, a world dominated by science and technology, and at that time he felt that the human beings in this world should not all be wiped out.

Not for any other reason, but because human beings, although fragile themselves, are definitely the most capable race for collective survival.

Even if the monsters are densely packed throughout the world, they should not be completely destroyed.

Gluttony......

I guess it's those ghost creatures.

After all, the other party said the word split, thinking about the fusion of those creatures before, it is not difficult to guess.

Wood was about to ask, but before he could speak, the woman spoke to herself with a sad face.

"More than a hundred years ago, gluttony suddenly appeared in this world, when it was also divided into countless individuals as it is now, and all living beings were the target of 'it' to devour, and it was through continuous devouring that it became a perfect creature in the true sense."

"At first, our elders didn't care about it, but thought it was a creature with great research value, and no one at that time felt that it was a threat."

"Because of its fragile individuality, it can be easily killed by any person with a weapon, and although there are occasional human attacks, it also has a wildlife research area for it, and it captures gluttony from all over the world."

"But...... When the individual it divides devours the genes of all living things, and finds that there are no more genes that can be devoured; It suddenly began to eat each other, so to speak, merging, becoming stronger and stronger, and by the time people perceived the crisis, it was already too late. ”

"All technological means are no longer a threat to it, and only magic, which has just been developed for less than five hundred years, can make it harmed......"

"Huh? Wait......"

……
