Gift?

At first, there were some accidents, but today was Mann's birthday, so what did he do with a gift?

But Mann didn't make her think much about it, he walked up to Hatsu, pulled her, and sat her down on a sofa facing the window, through which he could see the city of merchants at this moment, the night sky was lit up by fireworks, the lights connected to the streets, and the people celebrated, as if the feast would never end.

Mann smiled and stood behind Hatsu, his hands resting on the back of the couch.

"What do you think? ”

At first glance, the scene outside the window was indeed beautiful, and the people in the banquet were smiling and enjoying the feast in front of them, as if all the sins at this moment had nothing to do with them.

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

"This is your city. Chu said calmly.

"You've become the richest man, and I should leave. ”

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

"That's ······"

Behind the beginning, Mann fell silent, but halfway through, he smiled again, facing out the window.

"Do you remember, we said at the beginning that everything we earned was half for one person. ”

The boy felt in his pocket and took out a transparent round gem, in which he could see piles of gold coins like mountains.

It's a space gem that has the largest storage space of all space items, and each one is worth a fortune.

Mann placed the clear gem in Hatsu's hand.

"It's the half of you who exists with me, and then ······"

As he spoke, he took another gold coin from his bosom and placed it beside the gem.

"Now you're the richest man on the continent, stay here. ”

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

"After taking what we agreed on, I will leave. You should know that I can't take anything with me except that. ”

"Still. Hatsu got up from the couch and didn't look at the city outside the window, but looked at Mann behind him, smiled, and reached out to pat him on the cheek.

"You're pretty handsome when you keep your promises, and you've grown up. ”

Mann lowered his eyes silently, he knew that he would say this, but what he wanted to hear was not this.

"Bang!"

Outside the window, one of the grandest fireworks bloomed, spreading crimson light, illuminating the merchant city as if it were the celebration they had passed at the beginning of their journey.

Mann remembers sitting on Jill's shoulders and seeing many, many people smiling and looking up at the fireworks in the sky, except for the beginning, standing alone in the crowd with his head down.

It's a pity, he thought at the time, such a beautiful fireworks, Chu missed it, next time, he must remind Chu to take a good look.

It's a pity that this time I missed the best one.

In the room, the black mist dispersed, cutting off all sounds, no fireworks, laughter, singing, the room was so silent, so silent that no sound could be heard, no thing could be seen, and in the world in front of me, it seemed that only the thick black fog was surging.

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

He panicked, fearful but unable to speak.

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

After a long time, the silence passed.

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

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 there, only a black bracelet fell to the ground.

Mann took two steps back and sat limply in his seat.

He looked at his hand, where there was the gold coin he had just prepared for Hatsu.

He picked up the gold coin, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, for a long time, closed his eyes, and smiled bitterly.

"Turns out you can't buy everything. ”

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

······

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

She was lying on the side of the pool with her hands tied, and it soon became clear to her that this was the right place to punish the sin of greed.

Soon, the punishment began, and at first she felt a thirst, like a fire burning in her throat, and she felt as if she had smoke in her mouth, and the strong tingling sensation made her want to scream, but she couldn't say a word.

She wanted to take a sip of water, because she was pouring next to the pool, and the cold water was only about five centimeters away from her mouth, a distance that she could reach if she moved her mouth hard, and she could even smell the refreshing coldness.

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 slowly receded, still in her mouth, but she just couldn't drink it.

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

In this way, at first she was tied hand and foot and fell on the edge of the pool, and when she couldn't bear to drink water, the water would retreat, and when she gave up, it would rise back.

An unbearable thirst tormented her, but the water of the pool was out of her reach.

This is the punishment of greed, which makes you never get what you want, and forces people to go crazy.

In hell, Mammon opened her eyes.

The sins it had left for Mann were taken to the Apostolic Wasteland before it was first assimilated.

This allows it to perceive what state it is in at the beginning.

Her punishment began, this time a rebuke of greed. Mammon tilted her head and sat down at a table as she spoke to the other people at the table.

There were six other people sitting at the long table, all of them with different appearances, but they had one thing in common, they were all demons.

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

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

"Do you think she will fall like us, or will she be forgiven?" asked the other, faintly.

"Who knows. Belfinger slouched on the table, wagging its sharp tail.

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