Judgment

lead:

Liu Tao ate fried rice with eggs that his mother made for him in the middle of the night.

"Play, play, play, surf the Internet all day and night until midnight, it's no wonder your body doesn't wear down!"

Mother Liu was washing the fried rice pot, and she still kept mumbling.

When his mother found out that he sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night, Liu Tao's heart almost stopped beating. Fortunately, after scolding him, his mother relented and helped him make supper.

Boom, a bottle of hot sauce was placed in front of him.

Liu Tao looked up at his mother, who was standing aside wearing a bib.

"Go back to sleep quickly after eating, don't stay up late."

"Oh." Liu Tao opened the bottle of chili sauce, took a piece out to bibimbap.

After eating, he looked at his mother who was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, leaned over and said stickily, "Mom, you should go to bed early too."

"I can sleep soundly if you don't get up in the middle of the night and sneak around the kitchen." Mother Liu glared at him.

Liu Tao laughed a few times, and went back to his room after helping his mother clean up the kitchen.

Before leaving, he glanced at the kitchen knife on the chopping board, and moved his fingers slightly.

The first thing to do when you return to your room is to search online:

Does excessive hunger cause hallucinations?

Liu Tao looked at the webpages found by the search software, with doubts in his eyes, and also...fear.

just now:

"Captain, Group A has determined the location of the target."

"Group B has arrived at the ambush site."

"Group C arrived at the area where the target predation object is located."

……

The news from each group came from the intercom, and Han Se, who was sitting in the command car, had deep eyes.

"Stay still."

"Captain." On the side, Yu Ming handed over a piece of information, "This is the information about the target's three recent cases. According to the previous cases, it is used to teasing its prey and then eating it."

"Teasing?"

"In the three cases, the people who were hunted were all insane in the end, and they were swallowed by it after killing their relatives and friends." Yu Mingdao.

"Bad taste."

Han Se commented, flipping through the information a few times.On the first page is the information of the target audience.

Common name: Lazy Devourer

Hobbies: People who stay at home all the year round and don't leave the house.

Modus operandi: capture after causing the prey to become insane

On the next page is the information of the humans who were hunted this time.

Liu Tao, a college student, is currently on leave of absence...

No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary, slightly autistic otaku.

"Aren't they only interested in strong negative emotions?" Li Xu was curious, "I think this kid is quite ordinary, how could he become the prey of monsters?"

Han Se had a cigarette in his mouth, "Some monsters like to play and cultivate. It is more interesting for them to personally cultivate a prey with strong negative emotions."

"Should we hold back, Team Han?" Yu Ming said, "If this continues, it is very likely that the ordinary people around Liu Tao will also be hurt."

"...Keep an eye on Liu Tao and find out where he has been recently." Han Se said: "It will definitely follow him closely, don't make a move for now, we will kill it when it starts hunting Best time."

"Then Team Han, the safety of Liu Tao's family?"

"Let it be fate." Han Se put down the information in his hand and took a puff of cigarette.

"We're not messiahs either."

In the second week of Wang Chen's internship at Wen You Psychological Clinic, William began to stay by his side every step of the way.

"This is to ensure your safety." The monster steward said so.

Wang Chen guessed in his heart that William was probably very worried about what might happen to him.After all, in that case, his investment will fall short.

However, in the past few days, he has also learned some small skills of monsters. In his opinion, as long as he does not encounter other powerful monsters, there will be no danger.

"Aren't these scavengers human?" When William was out that day, he found the opportunity to ask Yu Wenyou, "Are human beings strong enough to threaten monsters?"

"I have to say that humans are still very capable." Yu Wenyou said: "Since the establishment of the scavengers, the number of monsters destroyed in their hands has exceeded double digits."

Wang Chen's eyes froze, "Very powerful?"

"Very cunning."

Yu Wenyou smiled. "In terms of individual strength, humans are not as good as us. But they are very cunning creatures, and many monsters fall into their hands because they despise humans."

"It's just a magic soldier." William came back at some point and stood behind them.

"But before them, no monsters have ever died in the hands of humans." Yu Wenyou retorted: "You have to admit their strength."

"So, this troop formed to target monsters is indeed very powerful." Wang Chen concluded.

"You don't need to think so much, Your Highness." William looked at him, "You don't need to worry about other things until you improve your strength enough to protect yourself."

"..." Wang Chen always felt that he was despised by William, but no matter how he looked at the face of the monster steward, he couldn't find a trace of extra emotion.He couldn't help but suspect that what he heard just now was just his own illusion.

"This group of people didn't come here for us." Yu Wenyou interrupted the dialogue between the two demons, "It is estimated that another idiot moved too much when hunting and was targeted by them.

"So we just have to wait and see." William added: "Please don't get involved in this matter, Your Highness."

Wait and see what happens?

Wang Chen turned his head sideways and looked out the French window.He always had a hunch that this matter was not something he could not participate in if he wanted to.

"By the way." Wen You suddenly broke the silence, "Do you remember the kid who came to the clinic last time?"

"Which one?"

"The one you got mad at."

Wang Chen immediately thought of that young man's face, and remembered the anger he had provoked by his few words at that time, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Will he come again?"

"The appointment at [-] o'clock tomorrow afternoon, this time he ordered the consultation himself. You guessed that he would come again, right?" Yu Wenyou looked at Wang Chen with a smile.

"It's not a guess, it's a hunch." Wang Chen pointed to his head, "I feel that when the situation gets worse, he will always come again."

"This guy is just a little lazy, it can't be considered as food." Yu Wenyou shook his head and said: "However, if the situation continues to deteriorate, it is worthy of being a delicious meal."

"Can a lazy person become a delicacy?" Wang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Laziness is one of the seven original sins." Yu Wenyou said meaningfully: "It is not included in the seven original sins for nothing."

William, who has always been excluded from the conversation between the two, is a little unaccustomed to this feeling.

"That human named Liu Tao is His Highness's prey?"

"Prey? Not really." Wang Chen thought about the young man's angry look, "I just think it's more interesting to tease him. Why, are you jealous?"

"..." The monster steward remained silent.

"I'm just kidding."

Seeing William with a stiff face, Yu Wenyou secretly smiled.

William, on the other hand, deeply remembered this human being named Liu Tao, and decided to observe the other person when he came to the clinic the next day to see what kind of character was able to enter His Highness's plaything list .

On the second day, the man in windbreaker and sunglasses appeared strangely at the door of Wen You Psychological Clinic like he did the first time.

This time, the front desk let him in without any surprise.When the man in the windbreaker stood at the door of the consulting room again, hesitating which way to enter, the door was opened from the inside.

"Mr. Liu Tao, I've been waiting for a long time. Please..." Yu Wenyou, who came out to pick him up, paused for a moment, and then smiled gently as usual: "Go into the room."

"Uh, oh." Liu Tao dawdled into the room, this time he found that there was another person in the room, and it was the mixed-race man he ran into the last time he went out.

"This is William, my roommate." Wang Chen noticed his scrutinizing gaze and introduced him proactively.

His gaze stayed on Liu Tao for a moment, and then he exchanged glances with Yu Wenyou who was walking with his back to Liu Tao.

"You took the initiative to make an appointment for medical treatment this time, what's new?" Yu Wenyou asked.

Liu Tao was about to sit on the sofa like last time, when he saw Wang Chen leaning on the table from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly remembered what he said about himself last time.The body froze in place for an instant, and it was very embarrassing whether to stand or not to sit.

"Hehe, please sit down." Yu Wenyou saw through his embarrassment and said proactively.

"I just came here this time to ask... I want to ask..." After muttering for a long time, Liu Tao finally made up his mind and said, "If you stay at home and don't go out, will it really cause some mental illness?"

"For the most part, prolonged autism does have an impact on personality."

"How big of an impact?" Liu Tao raised his head immediately.

"This varies from person to person." Yu Wenyou said: "If you want to cure your disease, please tell us truthfully, what happened to you recently?"

Liu Tao looked at him in astonishment, "How do you know I've been busy recently?"

Yu Wenyou smiled, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have come. Tell us, tell us, what happened?"

what happened?

Under the watchful eyes of this strange trio, Liu Tao slowly explained the matter as if he was bewitched.

"I can't control my emotions recently..."

Two hours later, the time for the next visit was confirmed.Liu Tao stood up and left the consulting room in some confusion.

"I can't help myself. The words created by human beings can always describe the status quo appropriately." Yu Wenyou turned and said to the two, especially focusing on William.

"It seems that this time we are not looking for trouble, but trouble is coming to us."

"That person was followed by a monster just now." Wang Chen said, "And the scavenger, did he follow that monster?"

"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, what are you going to do?"

Wang Chen thought for a while, "I'm interested in this human being."

"Oh?" Yu Wenyou peeked at William's unhappy face.

"Extremely interested in the scavenger too."

"so?"

"So let's wait and see."

Scavenger, monster, Liu Tao.Among the three wrestling parties, Wang Chen and the others are the only forces that have not yet appeared. Neither the Scavenger nor the monster knows their existence yet, but they can contact Liu Tao first.

Wang Chen thought, is there a more interesting stage for watching a play than this?
