Chapter 1

Suburban New York, seventh block nursing home.

When the door opened, a well-dressed, handsome young Chinese with pale green eyes came in,

"Professor, I've brought what you want."

A photo and two $300000 bank notes were placed on the hospital bed. The old man picked up the note to check the name of the head of the household, and then put the photo in his hand. Looking at the lady with a kind smile, his eyes showed extremely complicated emotions.

The boy picked up a towel to wipe away the tears from the old man's eyes, sat aside and kept silent.

After a long time, with a lonely sigh, the old man woke up,

"after I die, please put the photo on my body."

"Yes, do you have any other wishes?"

"No more."

The old man shook his head and said, "young man, thank you for doing so much for me. Now you can ask for what you want from me."

"Soul."

"Soul?"

"Yes, soul."

The young man raised his head, his pale green eyes were full of strange light,

"Professor landos, I need your soul,"

the old man laughed, as if he had encountered something very interesting, and his tone became cheerful,

"so, I'm trading with the devil. I don't know your real name, Lucifer? Or besieb? "

"No, my name is Luke, not the devil." The young man raised his palm, and a green flame appeared in the palm, "just a human with special ability."

The dark green flame was like the fire of the dead from hell. It was clearly burning, but it sent out a chill that penetrated into the soul. The old man was silent for a long time, and then reluctantly said with a smile,

"superhuman?

When I worked in Norway, I met a beautiful girl with silver hair, who could make ice out of thin air, or even have a little blizzard. How about you? What are your abilities? "

"Devour the soul, digest the soul, acquire memory, and strengthen yourself."

"What an evil force

The old man sighed, but he didn't have much fear. For the dying man, there was nothing to fear, but more curiosity,

"why did you choose me? An old man with advanced liver cancer can't bring you anything

"This is an experiment, but also a helpless move."

"Tell me about it!"

"Of course, if you want to hear it."

Luke moved a chair to sit in front of him, and said in a flat voice, "my ability has a defect. While absorbing other people's souls, I will also be affected by negative desires.

before you, I absorbed the souls of three people.

the first one is a history professor in the wilderness, whose soul is full of desire for revenge. In order to get rid of the entanglement, I spent several years It took three months to find out his murderer;

the second one was the scientist who was shot. The tyrannical emotion was buried in my soul and transferred to me. The experience during that period was very bad;

in order to prevent similar incidents, I made a very strict selection of the third target, and finally chose Frank tules. "

The old man frowned, "governor?"

"Yes, the former governor."

Luke sighed, "it turns out that this is a very stupid decision. Who would have thought that the fair and strict governor is a pornographic maniac in his heart. In order to let him go, I had to make all kinds of girlfriends, and the good reputation accumulated over the years was ruined."

The old man said strangely, "it doesn't sound bad."

Luke shrugged. "My grandfather is a staid man. He doesn't like me to take girls of all colors home for the night. Besides, I'm only 17 years old. It's not good for my body to do too much."

"It makes sense!"

The old man laughed, "so, you leave the fourth goal to me, a good man without any bad habits."

Luke shook his head. "I said it was an experiment."

"The previous experiences have made me understand a truth. No matter good or bad people, there is an unknown desire hidden in their heart. The desire can not be avoided, only the soul without regret can be chosen."

"A soul without regrets!"

The old man murmured to himself, a flash of a sudden in his eyes, "you help me achieve my wish, that is to let me die without regret, so that I can be swallowed by you."

"Yes."

"Sounds fair?"

"Thank you for thinking so."

Luke adjusted the position of the pillow to make the old man more comfortable. "Any other last wishes? If so, please let me know and I'll help you achieve it. "

The old man looked at the ceiling quietly for a long time before he said weakly,

"how long can I live?"

"According to your current state of life, two minutes at most.""Can you Longer. "

"Sorry, I don't have that ability."

The old man was silent, and his pale face showed despair for the first time. Fortunately, he was mature enough to press down his emotion quickly.

"thank you for telling me so much."

"It should be."

Luke got up and took the old man's thin hand,

"nice to meet you, Professor landos."

The old man gave him a complicated look, closed his eyes and died.

"Goodbye, professor."

Luke bowed. A dark green flame came out of his palm. He pulled out a broken soul. The boy opened his mouth and swallowed it.

There are lots of memory fragments, such as the joy of childhood, the freedom of youth, the secret love in college, the hesitation after graduation, the helplessness at the wedding, and the enthusiasm for science. Of course, the most important thing is endless knowledge.

Nuclear physics, electronic engineering, elemental chemistry, cytology What the old man has learned all his life has become Luke's nourishment. To his delight, there is no desire in his memory except the regret that can not be erased.

"Thank you for your gift."

Luke bowed again, put the photo in the old man's hand and called the funeral home.

In order to make the old man walk less lonely, Luke specially arranged six Negroes from Ghana to carry the coffin. All the way, Frank J. landos came to the end of his life.

"All the way, professor."

Luke put down a bunch of lilies and turned away.

After leaving the graveyard, Charlie will came up face to face,

"boss, director of Wayne group and CEO of Luther group called one after another, hoping to talk about the acquisition with you."

Luke took off his dress and left it in the car,

"tell them to talk about it in three months."

"The Wayne group is willing to offer 50 million," pauses, adding, "euro."

Luke put on his sunglasses and said with a smile, "Charlie, what did I tell you on my first day at work?"

Charlie was stunned and said, "I see, boss, I'll deal with it."

"That's right."

The silver Ferrari spurts out a thick blue flame, and flies away in the envious eyes of passers-by.
