"You need two months for the pupae to emerge, and until then, beware of all living things around you.

After that, you will know your mission......"

At four o'clock in the morning, Gao Le opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.

At the end of autumn, the nights are long and the days are short, the cool breeze blows the curtains, and the outside world is still dark.

"It's this dream again."

On the night of more than a month ago, he had a big fight with his ex-girlfriend Gu Li, and when he came home, he was dragged into a strange banquet.

It was pitch black all around, and there was a rich green light beneath him, and before he knew it, he was sitting cross-legged in that wonderful space, and there were humanoid objects in white robes on the left and right, sitting in a circle.

He couldn't see the real appearance of the creatures under the white robes, but he could be sure that the other party was definitely not human.

Then they handed over a delicate porcelain bowl, in which was a liquid that emitted the same rich green glow as beneath them, and was filled with a strong breath of life.

In this way, Gao Le was inexplicably saddled with a mission that he himself did not know what it was.

"Two months, if you calculate carefully, there are only about eight days left."

Gao Le got up from the bed, picked up a few pieces from the messy pile of clothes beside the bed, put them on, and stepped on his slippers to the kitchen.

Open the refrigerator, and it is full of raw meat.

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and couldn't wait to take out a piece of pork with ten catties from it, divide it into small pieces with a kitchen knife, throw it directly into the cauldron, fill it with water, and then put in a few green onions and peppercorns to taste, and start the fire.

With no superfluous seasoning and no complicated cooking process, the meat would never taste great, at least not to most human tastes, but it was the easiest and quickest way for Gao Le to fill his greedy stomach.

Otherwise, if ten catties of meat are made according to the normal method, it will take at least one or two hours.

He didn't have that much time, and he didn't have that much ...... Money.

In the past month or so, his appetite has been increasing, from three meals a day, gradually to four, five, and now he is hungry almost every two or three hours, and he has just been woken up by hunger, and he has long been accustomed to this situation.

At first, in order to solve the problem of eating, he chose the cafeteria, but in less than half a month, he ate down the two newly opened cafeterias, and therefore became on the blacklist of all cafeterias in Jupiter City.

Originally, this was not a problem, but just a month ago, the price of pork suddenly rose wildly, and even other meats rose slightly, but there was no way, even if it was 35 league coins per catty, he still had to choose pork to eat, but the amount needed every day was too large, ten catties a meal, even if he only ate six meals a day, it would cost him more than 2,000 league coins.

Under such a high amount of consumption, his savings are declining at a visible rate every day, and what is even worse is that since two weeks ago, the amount of 60 catties of pork a day is not enough to eat.

As of now, he had only four digits left in his bank card.

The remaining eight days were a long time for him, but the fifteen minutes in front of him passed quickly.

The stomach has begun to protest and crave food.

Gao Le turned off the heat and opened the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma of meat instantly filled the whole room, the water in the pot was boiling, and the white pieces of meat rose and fell in it, and there were a few green onions in the middle.

Even a beggar would never have an appetite for this pot of things, but Gao Le didn't care, and the reason was that he was used to it.

Sprinkled with a pinch of salt and couldn't wait for the hot soup to cool, he picked up his chopsticks and began to gobble it up.

At half past four in the morning, after drinking the last drop of broth in the pot, Gao Le wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Without stopping, he immediately picked up the keys and went out and drove to the slaughterhouse on the outskirts of Jupiter to buy meat.

The wholesale meat price is cheaper than that in the market, because recently he always buys the whole pig, which is more than 200 catties at a time, causing the staff to think that he is a buyer in a shopping mall or restaurant.

In order to save time, Gao Le was very purposeful every time he went out, and never delayed time on the road, but this morning, he had to slow down for a while.

On the way back, Gao Le found a black mass lying on the side of the road, and it disappeared in a flash, because the light was too dim, he couldn't see clearly that it was a person, or maybe he was just blinded by a mistake, but in short, the mass gave him a strong sense of unease.

Ten seconds later, the car reversed again.

In the end, Gao Le still couldn't pass the level in his heart, and couldn't help but want to confirm it.

"What if it's really a person?"

He can't abandon it.

Cautiously walking to the dark shadow, through the light of the flashlight, Gao Le could see that it was indeed a person lying on the ground, the woman was facing down, wrapped in a black robe, and exuding an ominous aura all over her body.

Behind the robe, an eerie pattern caught his attention, a symbol of a pentagram with an open eye in the middle.

It's strange, it's the first time I've seen him, but he has a familiar feeling.

"Hey, are you alright?"

He crouched down and flipped over her body.

In the center of the woman's forehead, a dark blue flame pattern was printed, and just looking at this pattern, Gao Le felt that his eyes were burning, but then a cool breath rose from his body, driving away the slight discomfort.

Her eyes were closed, and crimson pus and blood were flowing from under her eyelids, exuding a fishy smell.

Purple twisted lines, like capillaries, tightly encircled the flame pattern on her forehead and around her eyes.

The moment he saw the other party's face, Gao Le's breathing stagnated for a moment, and his brain was frantically transmitting dangerous signals, warning him to stay away immediately!

"You need two months for the pupal to spawn, until then, please beware of all creatures around you......"

At the banquet, the instructions of those people sounded in their hearts, and reason reminded Gao Le that the best way was to leave quickly.

What to do?

He asked himself.

Just when he was hesitating, the woman in front of him suddenly snorted in pain, but she didn't come to her senses.

"She's not dead yet!"

In my mind, the sense of reason and morality are in fierce confrontation.

"If you don't save yourself, sooner or later, someone else will find out."

"There are so many cars on the road, there is no need for me to help."

"But ......"

"But what if there is no one? In case of...... What if she couldn't wait that long? ”

"Yes, just call an ambulance!"

Having made up his mind, Gao Le was about to make a phone call, when a cold palm suddenly grabbed his wrist.

The woman woke up.

"I can't...... Go to the hospital...... Million...... Don't ......"

Her eyes were still closed, and her tone was extremely difficult.

"Take me to a ...... Quiet ...... Place, please ......"

After saying that, the woman fell unconscious again.

Gao Le was stunned, and the operator's voice came from the phone:

"Hello, this is the emergency center, what do you need?"

"Hello? Are you listening? ”

"Hello?"
