Under the bridge of Hungry Ghost City, a man was running hard, and his footsteps echoed in the damp and cold night alley.

Holding tightly in his hands the colored glass he had snatched from others, he soon ran into a luxurious apartment building.

The place is brightly lit, a symbol of prosperity and wealth.

He pushed open the door and walked into a room that was decorated with great elegance.

The velvet sofa, valuable ornaments, and the city night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows all show how prominent the owner of this house once was.

But all of this has long been ownerless.

In the corner stood a chair tied with ropes. The corpse was so thin that only bones remained. Its eye sockets were sunken and its mouth was open exaggeratedly and empty.

Although he has so much wealth, he can only starve to death in the hungry ghost realm.

It's funny to think about it.

The reason was simply because he met a madman who loved money like his life.

The man stopped and stood in front of the corpse, revealing a hideous smile.

"All the money is mine," he said, throwing the colored glass at the feet of the corpse as if it were some kind of ironic ritual.

The TV screen was on, and a news report was playing in the room.

"Congratulations to this lucky winner for winning the biggest lottery jackpot of the year! Ten million in energy! Congratulations! Congratulations!"

The person on the screen was the deceased homeowner.

He returned to a room filled with colorful glass bottles and began to make malicious reports online.

Every malicious report and every illegal transaction was ill-gotten gains he made.

Even if he couldn't use up all these colorful glass bottles, he could use this currency to reincarnate several times, but he didn't.

He stayed here because his soul was deeply immersed in the pleasure of getting money.

As long as it is currency, it symbolizes money, and obtaining it will bring you immense happiness.

Whenever he saw others winning the lottery or getting rich, he would become jealous and go crazy.

Because he feels that all the money should belong to him.

So he never paid any price.

He walked into a restaurant without paying the bill; he walked into a shopping mall without spending a penny.

He thought everything was as it should be.

The money is his, and anything others get is stolen.

Just then, an exquisite invitation was delivered to his door.

The golden envelope read:

"A feast of wealth, all the gold, silver and treasures, only the winners can enjoy it."

When he saw the word "wealth", his eyes almost sparkled.

I didn't even think about why I was invited like this.

This is a gold mine. Although gold coins are not valuable in the hungry ghost realm, these are their obsessions in the human world, and the gold obtained can be exchanged for the common currency of the hungry ghost realm in equal proportion.

Hundreds of people as greedy as him gathered here, each of them like a beast, fighting, grabbing, tearing and grabbing, just to get more gold, silver and jewelry.

He joined in the chaos with a wild laugh.

The pleasure grew with the increase of wealth, and the only sound in the ears was the crisp sound of metal colliding.

However, when the first low rumble came from the ground, everyone stopped.

The gold mountain began to tremble, and the mountains of wealth suddenly collapsed, and the entire mine was submerged in a cloud of golden dust.

Then, the monster appeared.

They have sharp teeth in their mouths and devour the gold, silver and treasures on the ground.

He watched with his own eyes as the treasures he had robbed were devoured, his hands were empty, and the madness in his eyes turned into fear.

He tried to grab the gold coins, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get anything.

"My money!" he screamed. "This money is mine! You can't take it from me!"

The monsters ignored their protests and continued to devour everything around them.

When the last gold coin was swallowed by the monster, he fell to the ground, gasping for breath, as if he had suffered a great shock and his body began to mutate.

His skin shrivelled, his fingers turned to dry bones, but he kept mumbling, "Money... give me money..."

And his soul is trapped in nightmare forever, repeating the cycle of snatching and losing.

Every time he thought he had gained wealth, he would watch it turn into nothing and disappear without a trace again.

Xiao Huai stood on the ruins of the gold mine, looking down at these greedy people repeating the same thing over and over again.

This time, the five hourglasses were easily filled again.

And now, there are only three major desires left.

"Lust for love, desire for survival, and desire for revenge."

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Yuanshi appeared in this nightmare world. He looked at Xiao Huai and smiled softly: "It seems that you are more suitable to stay in hell than us."

Xiao Huai didn't know how Lu Yuanshi was able to enter, but even if he came, he wouldn't do anything.

He always watched like this, watching the nightmare created by Xiao Huai and watching Xiao Huai's reaction.

Also... always check if he's hungry.

"gone."

"Are you tired? Do you want me to kiss you?"

"Hmm?" He half-closed his eyes as he looked at Lu Yuan, "No need."

He now has a lot of energy currency, which can be replenished at any time.

Lu Yuanshi followed Xiao Huai and said, "Kiss me, your hunger will recover faster, and you won't have to endure the filth of the currency."

Xiao Huai laughed out loud after hearing this, "Master Lu, are you addicted to something wrong?"

"Is something wrong?" Lu Yuanshi suddenly grabbed the corner of Xiao Huai's clothes, forcing Xiao Huai to look back into his eyes.

Lu Yuanshi took a few steps closer until he was only half an arm's length away from Xiao Huai.

"But why do I feel like we do this kind of thing so often?"

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment.

As Lu Yuanshi's spiritual consciousness became more and more complete, he was returning more and more to his origin.

"You think too much." Xiao Huai turned his head and left the nightmare world with Lu Yuanshi.

----

Xiao Huai was used to living alone and was used to choosing a simple and practical residence.

However, because Lu Yuanshi insisted on living with him, he had to rent a slightly more spacious apartment for two.

However, Lu Yuanshi didn't seem to like the double room, so the room that originally belonged to him remained empty for some unknown reason.

Xiao Huai didn't mind Lu Yuanshi moving into his room, since he already had a sofa bed in his room.

It was late at night, and Xiao Huai lay down but couldn't fall asleep.

Suddenly, Lu Yuanshi's voice came softly into my ears.

"What are you collecting desires for now?"

Xiao Huai didn't turn around, nor did he lie.

"Do the task."

Lu Yuanshi chuckled softly, the smile was a little hazy in the darkness, with a subtle meaning.

He whispered, "It's a very special mission. What did you see from them?"

Even if Lu Yuanshi didn't mention it, Xiao Huai could not forget those scenes.

The greed of appetite, the obsession with power, the madness of desire for wealth.

Every scene was so ugly that it even made him feel a little disgusted.

He didn't answer, but his eyes became a little cold.
