Judgment

lead:

He could feel the scorching heat in his body, it was as if his soul was being scorched, and the burning pain was more than anything else.However, monsters have no soul, everyone knows this.

Monsters feed on humans, and the delicious and alluring human soul is an irresistible delicacy for them.

Ah, so hungry.

It wasn't the urgency of the rumbling stomach, but the more unbearable hunger that invaded him.There seems to be an abyss in the body, clamoring, roaring, never satisfied.

Monsters are born without emotions and souls.It was an unfillable chasm in their perfect lives—an emptiness that could be soothed only by the constant predation of human souls.

They have endless lives, perfect looks, and powerful strength.They have no soul.

They also don't understand emotions, and they don't have emotions.Although some monsters often camouflage human emotions, they are nothing more than a shell after all.

Monsters have no souls.

Therefore, they are getting hungrier and more eager to prey on humans.This weak, fragile and vulnerable race has a beautiful color that makes them greedy. Human emotions are temptations that monsters cannot resist.

When did it start to devour human souls?

No one thought about this question, and the monster that was hunting in front of him obviously didn't think about it either.

He only has that prey in his eyes, a prey that suits his taste and needs to be adjusted slowly.

Monitor every move of the prey, watching the prey slowly deviate from the normal track and step into the trap he has drawn.The corner of the monster's mouth could not conceal its joy.

Be patient, wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and a delicious soul will be born.

The monster hiding in the darkness snickered.

He likes to hunt, and he prefers to train the prey to the most delicious state with his own hands.

I believe that it will be ready to eat soon.

Delicious, clueless humans.

just now:

The mouse slides over one page after another, browses, and keeps closing and opening new pages.

Liu Tao rubbed his hair a little irritably. He had searched for a long time, but he still couldn't find the answer.The Internet that he had trusted in the past could not help him at this time.

He threw away the mouse angrily, staring at the monitor.

No answer!Still no answer!

Recently, he has gradually become abnormal, he doesn't like to move, he doesn't like to talk, and he even stays in bed all day long.He couldn't control it all, yes, he couldn't control his behavior.

Sometimes it was inexplicable anger, sometimes it was an unknown appetite, and more often, even though he wanted to take action, his subconscious made him just sit there and do nothing.

This is not right!

Although he was like this before, it was under his control, but now these behaviors have escaped his control.

He knew what he had to do, but instead of doing it, he let time pass by.

He also knows his responsibility to live up to his parents' expectations, but keeps ignoring it - well, it's been like that for a long time, it's just been getting worse lately.

He evades responsibility, evades what he should do, evades pressure, lets himself sink into the network, and escapes into the virtual world.

Liu Tao knew that he had always been like this, but he just chose to ignore it.

But recently, he couldn't continue to ignore it.Especially when these intensifying problems were about to start to endanger his family.

He felt like he was obsessed and couldn't control his behavior and emotions. Last time, when he was found by his mother in the kitchen, at that moment he even thought——

enough!Stop thinking about it.

Liu Tao shook his head, and continued to try to find some information that could help him on the Internet.Although he made an appointment with the doctors in the psychological clinic, he didn't fully trust them.He has to find a way by himself, before his mutation hurts his family.

"Tao Tao!"

The mother walked in, and saw her son addicted to the computer again as no surprise.

"I told you yesterday to ask you to meet Uncle Ma's daughter, remember?"

"En..." Liu Tao answered vaguely.

"Uncle Ma's daughter only graduated from high school, but she has a good temper and looks good. You should think about it." Mother Liu talked for a long time, but she couldn't help but get angry when she saw that her son was still indifferent.

"You boy, are you listening to me? I told you to go see the girl."

"I'm doing business." Liu Tao explained impatiently.

"Business? Playing games on the Internet all day, what business can there be?!" Mother Liu raised her voice and said sharply: "Whose son will sit in front of the computer like you every day, doing useless things. Why are you so— —”

"That's enough! Don't bother me!" Liu Tao roared, feeling irritated.

He is obviously working hard to protect himself and this family, why doesn't his mother understand him!

Mother Liu was a little startled by the sudden roar.Liu Tao's reddish eye sockets and furious expression are not at all like his usual appearance.

"Taotao, you... what's wrong with you?"

When I came back to my senses, I saw my mother's frightened expression.Liu Tao soon regretted it.

"No, Mom, I'm just in a bad mood. I'll see her tomorrow."

"Oh...you just need to remember." Mother Liu replied blankly, "I'm going back to my room, go to bed early today."

"En." The person sitting in front of the computer didn't turn around.

Liu Tao didn't put down the mouse until he heard the sound of the door closing behind him, and put his head deeply into his arms.

Panting heavily, he seemed to be struggling to restrain something, and big drops of sweat fell from his forehead.He endured, biting his lip.The beast-like gasps echoed in the room, filled with suppressed pain.

After a long time, his fist hit the table hard.

"hateful!"

The next day, the team deployed near Liu Tao's community reported the situation to Han Se.

"He's out."

"Follow closely." Han Se thought for a while, "Don't follow too closely, just make sure he is under our control."

"Is this okay?" Yu Ming asked behind him: "That monster obviously played tricks on Liu Tao. He is going out today, and the monster may seize the opportunity to do something to him. According to intelligence, this Liu Tao's emotions are different from ordinary people. ..."

"That's not our business." Han Se interrupted him coldly, "Remember, our mission is to destroy monsters, and everything else is irrelevant."

"……Yes."

Han Se turned back, glanced at some unwilling subordinates, sighed and said, "Our ability is not enough to protect everyone, what we can do is to destroy the source. Only by destroying the monsters, there will be no harm." More humans are victimized."

"The monster in the feeding state is the most vulnerable, and it is the best time for us to hunt it." Han Se's eyes glowed coldly, "We can't stop this monster from hunting Liu Tao, it depends on his own luck."

Today is definitely the worst day of luck!

After the blind date ended, Liu Tao came out of the coffee shop weakly.

He has become more and more lazy to move recently, and today he used all his willpower to step out of the house.And just now he sat in front of that young girl for half an hour without saying a word.In the end, the girl flung her sleeves and left, and he just sat there for another half an hour before standing up.

Why didn't she settle her own order when she left?Liu Tao paid for the two with some complaints.

The coffee shop is less than 10 minutes' walk from home, but he walks very slowly, like an old man walking.

He has become less and less motivated, laziness is like a poison that corrodes his whole body.Even though he knew something was wrong with the situation, he couldn't stand up and do something again.

what's the function?Anyway, there is no way to solve it, so what's the use of wasting effort?

He also thought of the university he dropped out of, a third-rate institution.Many people waste four years in vain there, and get nothing in the end.Liu Tao felt that he had made a very wise decision to suspend school. Anyway, he was playing for fun. What is the difference between being at school and at home?

What's the difference even if you are admitted to a first-class university?It's all about working for the rich.

Is it useful to make a lot of money?In the end, it is not to be used on sons and daughters, or to raise a car and a house.

Does it make sense to get married and have children?After the child grows up, let him continue to go to college, get married and have children, and then have grandchildren, generation after generation...

Human beings are no different from domesticated animals, they just reproduce instinctively.

Speaking of which, what's the point of living in this world.Die early and die late, after all, you will die once, and not many people will remember you after you die, and then you will become a wisp of loess.

Liu Tao thought about it endlessly, and suddenly felt that living in the world is not interesting.In this case, why did he work so hard to heal himself?

Wouldn't it be good to just lie down and wait for death?

Hmm... great idea.

"Team Han! There seems to be something wrong with Liu Tao's mood." A team member monitoring the instrument suddenly reported: "His current mental activity has reached the minimum, and this guy has almost no thoughts in his mind."

The human brain is amazing, it remains extremely active even when we sleep.However, Liu Tao's brain activity monitored on the monitor was unbelievably low.

Han Se touched his chin and smiled slightly. "Well, at least now we know why this kid is attracted by monsters." The demon-slaying team is also experienced, and naturally understands the hunting preferences of monsters.

"Seven deadly sins, laziness." Yu Ming said softly.

Why is laziness one of the seven deadly sins?It seems harmless.

However, this silent crime can easily kill a person.

There is no belief, no purpose, no awareness.

There is no difference between living and dying.

In the darkness, the monster quietly raised the corners of its mouth, showing an excited smile.

Really, can't wait to enjoy it.

末：

Li Xu looked up at the office building in front of him, holding a note from the captain in his hand.

[Wenyou Psychological Clinic on the [-]th floor]

Why did the captain ask him to investigate this clinic?

Li Xu smacked his lips in confusion, and then stepped into——he didn't know yet, it belonged to the monster's territory.

On the twelfth floor, the monster housekeeper suddenly looked up and looked out the window.

There was silence in his eyes.
