Death knocked on the gate of hell

The tightly drawn curtains blocked the bright sunlight, the curtains on Babu's bed were drawn down, and the thick black robe covered his whole body.After layers of protection, Thanatos was successfully isolated from the world.

Thanatos leaned against the head of the bed, quietly reading the four great Chinese classics.

These books were lent to him by Yan Luo.This entire apartment belongs to Yan Luo. The 402 opposite is unoccupied. It was transformed into a study by Yan Luo. The three rooms are full of books. There are all kinds of world famous books, modern and ancient books, astronomy and geography, poetry and songs. .Lord Yan's character is also soaked from the fragrance of ink in countless scrolls.

Thanatos didn't like to go out, and was bored at home, so Yan Luo sent him a lot of books to relieve his boredom, euphemistically saying: I want him to read more Chinese books, so that we can have more common topics when chatting, and when a more Qualified to chat with.If these books are finished, Thanatos can go to 402 to pick up the books to read.

Thanatos liked this job more and more, not only had food to eat, but also books to read.When he was in Greece, he liked reading very much. He has read all kinds of Western books, and now he has opened the door to a new world.

The book is suspended in mid-air, and when Thanatos finishes reading it, it will automatically turn the pages according to his thoughts.Thanatos had just read a page and was about to turn down when he heard a knock on the door.

Thanatos looked up and closed the book.

In Room 401, only Yan Luo would knock on the door.

Yan Luo often knocked on Thanatos' door and invited him out to have dinner together in the living room.Yan Luo also ate very little, watching Thanatos eat most of the time.

Thanatos didn't understand at first, how could he still be able to charge money for the meal, which made him feel uneasy.But Yan Luo showed him a lot of food and broadcasts on the Internet, and he could get countless rewards, so Thanatos believed that there was really such a need in the world.Over time, Thanatos also got used to it.

But there is one thing that he still doesn't understand. Those online anchors who do food and TV broadcasts are all good-looking, and watching them eat can also stimulate their appetite.However, he is wearing a black robe, his face looks like a black hole, and he likes to watch a black hole eat... Does Hades have any special hobbies?

Although curious, he didn't ask.

Thanatos would never bother this roommate.Thanatos never knocked on Yan Luo's door.

In this roommate relationship, Yan Luo will always take the initiative.Thanatos is not a very suitable roommate to get along with. One-sided enthusiasm will always cool down. Too much enthusiasm is a burden for Thanatos. The best proof is that Thanatos avoided Yama in the first month .

But this is another employment relationship. Yan Luo is a client who pays for chatting with him, and Thanatos is chatting with him. He only needs to accompany Yan Luo, and he can do whatever Yan Luo asks him to do, and he doesn't need to take the initiative at all.This mode of getting along made Thanatos feel relaxed.

If it was just a simple roommate relationship, Thanatos didn't even respond, because it was not a relationship that had to be maintained.But when it comes to interests, Thanatos will respond passively even if he does not take the initiative, in order not to let himself live on the streets.

This is a true portrayal of most social terrors and social animals.

I have to say that Yan Luo's entry point is correct.With a good start, it is possible to develop from a customer to a friend, otherwise they will never meet.

Now, Yan Luo is a very good customer in Thanatos' heart.Perhaps Hades' friendliness made him feel that they could be friends, but Thanatos was very clear-headed and warned himself in his heart to keep a distance, draw a clear line, and talk about feelings to hurt money.

This was the reason why he still refused to take off the black robe to Yan Luo.Thanatos' line of defense was always there.

Thanatos got out of bed, went to the door and opened it.

As expected, Yan Luo stood at the door, smiled and lifted the bag full of desserts to him.

The ancient Chinese-style coffee table is filled with all kinds of exquisite desserts, which looks full of contradiction.

There was even a birthday cake on the table.

No one celebrates birthdays, it's just that the birthday cake is bigger and looks more delicious, so Yan Luo bought one back.Since ancient times, Chinese people have to eat longevity noodles for their birthdays. In Yan Luo's eyes, the cake has no birthday meaning, it is just a cake.

On the way back, Yan Luo took two cups of milk tea with him.He has always drank tea, since he has made an exception today, he will simply break it to the end.

Thanatos' eyes fell on the "Happy birthday" engraved on the chocolate sign on the top of the cake, and he froze for a moment.

Today is Yama's birthday?

But why does Hades celebrate his birthday?Aren't death days celebrated in the underworld?

Oh yes, Hades is a god, not a ghost, and he is not dead yet.

God is eternal, and when time becomes eternity, death does not come, and birthdays have no meaning.

Thanatos meets the birthday god for the first time.

Do you want to give a blessing?

Thanatos thought about it or forget it.

No one would like to have a happy birthday from the Grim Reaper. That is not a blessing, but a curse.

Although Hades should not be afraid.

It was Thanatos himself who couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Looking at the desserts all over the place, Thanatos carefully picked up a puff and put it in his mouth, the sweet cream melted from his mouth.

He savored it slowly.

It turns out that cream tastes like this.

It's sweet and delicious.

Thanatos tasted a little of every dessert except the big cake.

Yan Luo felt that Thanatos might be embarrassed to cut the cake, so he took the initiative to cut a piece for him.

Thanatos shook his head in refusal.

"Don't you like cake?" Yan Luo asked.

Thanatos shook his head again.

He didn't say why, he just didn't eat.

Yan Luo looked at the neglected cake, lost in thought.Judging from past experience, Thanatos will not know the taste until he tastes it. After that, he likes it if he eats more, and he doesn't like it if he eats less.But this time he didn't even taste it.

Does the appearance of the cake look bad?Yan Luo looked at the cream cake carefully decorated with fruits and felt that it was not.

Thanatos sipped his milk tea without touching the cake.

In the West, when Thanatos came to the world to harvest souls, he would pass by the window of the dessert shop, which was filled with exquisite cakes.

At that time, Thanatos was busy with work, always passing by with a glance.He also wanted to know what the cake tasted like, but he never had the courage to turn into a human being, enter the dessert shop, and buy a small cake.

He passed by the dessert shop many times, but he didn't know the taste of the cake.

Once, a terminally ill little girl celebrated her seventh birthday, and her parents prepared a cream birthday cake to celebrate her birthday in the ward, but fate decided that that day was also her death day.

The innocent little girl sang the happy birthday song with a smile, closed her eyes and made a simple wish: "Please God of Death don't take me away, then Mom and Dad will be sad, I can treat you to a cake."

The girl's birthday wish didn't come true and Thanatos took her soul on time.

She closed her eyes and made a wish, but never woke up again.

The seven candles on the cake never had a chance to be blown out by the girl, and her parents cried in despair in the ward.

Thanatos certainly didn't touch that cake.

He has done many, many such things.To take the dead parent from the young child, to take the innocent child from the parent who loved them, to take one of the lovers from the other...

If the cake symbolizes the birthday and the grim reaper represents the time of death, then the grim reaper should not eat the cake.

Birthday is happiness, death is pain and sorrow.

He shouldn't contaminate this happiness, destroy this happiness.

But in fact, he destroyed countless times, everyday.

Yan Luo bought a lot of things today, and he would get tired of eating too much dessert, and Thanatos gradually couldn't eat it.

"Don't force it, if you can't eat it, save it for supper at night, these are all yours." Yan Luo said, "Do you really not eat any cake?"

Thanatos nodded.

Yan Luo took off the piece of chocolate on the cake: "Then have a bite of chocolate?"

Thanatos turned his head, showing extreme resistance.

Yan Luo was puzzled, he remembered that Thanatos liked eating chocolate very much.

He turned the sign around and saw "Happy Birthday" written in English on it, and suddenly guessed the answer.

He sighed silently.

...the kind little Grim Reaper.

For the gods of the underworld, kindness is a kind of cruelty.

Can empathize with all living beings, but can't show mercy to living beings, and want to turn them into dead spirits and take them away from the world.

The psychological counseling in the Greek underworld is not good enough.Yan Luo thought, the pair of black and white impermanence under him were alive and kicking, and they didn't have any psychological burden at all.

They will have to be sent to enlighten the little Reaper another day.

"Do you have a social account? Add a friend." After laying the groundwork for so long and getting so many good impressions, Yan Luo finally asked this question logically.

With Thanatos's personality, he would be silently rejected if he made a friend request at the beginning. Now that he is familiar with it, it should be much easier to apply for a friend seat.

Unexpectedly, Thanatos shook his head.

"Don't add friends?" Yan Luo looked disappointed, "I thought we were already friends."

friend?Thanatos was taken aback.

Isn't it just the relationship between customers and accompanying guests?

Although in private, he also thinks that Yan Luo is a very good friend.But on the surface, what they maintain is only a money relationship, and he thinks the other party thinks the same way.

Unexpectedly, Yan Luo regarded him as a friend.

Thanatos has never had any friends, the only good relationship is his boss and his elder brother, and Yan Luo is his first friend.

He... didn't resist.

Still a little happy.

In order not to be misunderstood by his friends, Thanatos had to explain aloud: "I don't have a social account."

It's not that he doesn't want to be friends, it's that he has no contact information at all.

Now it was Yan Luo's turn to be stunned.

He only knew that the little Reaper was autistic, but he didn't expect the little Reaper to be so autistic.

Many social fears fear contact with the outside world in the real world, but in the virtual world of the Internet, they have countless friends and can speak well.

Unexpectedly, the little god of death was so frightened that he didn't even register his social account, and he really kept the same appearance.

"Aren't you in touch with your boss and brother?" Yan Luo asked.

Thanatos shook his head.In Greece, they can meet directly without contact information.When he came to the East this time, Thanatos did not expect to stay here for so long.He is now out of contact with Pluto and Sleeping God, otherwise he wouldn't worry about the rent, just make a phone call and ask them to dig treasures and pay for it.

This unexpected situation did not bother Yan Luo, he immediately said: "Then I will register an account for you? This way we can chat online even when we don't meet each other."

Thanatos agreed.

He always felt uncomfortable chatting face-to-face, and this problem could be solved through the screen.

Yan Luo applied for an account for Thanatos, and the first friend he added was himself.Then he took out his mobile phone, passed Thanatos's friend request, and noted "Little Death".

Thanatos took back his mobile phone and found that not only Yan Luo was on his list, but also a group chat named "Yanluo Community Big Family", which was very lively, 99 minutes a minute.

"All the residents in the community are here. They are usually noisy. If you find it annoying, you can block it." Yan Luo said, "You can also chat with them, maybe you can make a few more friends."

It's too deserted to be the only one on the list. Yan Luo also hopes that Thanatos can make other friends, so he might be willing to go out for a walk.

The members of the group are basically monsters, Lord Yama, Black and White Impermanence, and the Venus family are all in the group.This group chats and chats every day, fighting pictures, and there are too many chat records to finish.Lord Yan is too lazy to see what the little monsters are talking about every day, even the group is blocked.

The monsters were chatting in full swing at the moment, completely oblivious to the new member who just arrived in the group.Thanatos saw the frenzied news, unable to speak, and unable to start.

At this time, the silence of all staff was suddenly activated, and the frantically scrolling screen suddenly stopped.

Yan Luo: Welcome newcomers. @grim Reaper

Then unmute.

There was a moment of silence in the group, and then——

Fan Wujiu: Welcome newcomers. @grim Reaper

Xie Bi'an: Welcome newcomers. @grim Reaper

Nine-Tailed Fox: Welcome newcomers. @grim Reaper

Lop-Eared Rabbit: Welcome newcomers. @grim Reaper

Ragdoll: Welcome newcomers. @grim Reaper

……

The welcome formation was so long that the end could not be seen with several swipes of the finger. After all, this was a line-up given by His Highness Yan Wang who was forbidden to speak and personally welcomed.

Thanatos: "..."

Just now I couldn't get in the conversation and felt helpless, but now I am warmly welcomed by all the staff and feel at a loss.

Thanatos silently set up a shield, but did not reply.

The members of the group were very curious about who could be welcomed by His Highness Yama... Oh, the group business card has already written, death, it sounds like a good match for His Highness Yama.

They all waited for the god of death to appear in the group, but until the end, the new member did not speak.

Very good, ignore His Royal Highness, this is also the only one.

That night, Thanatos was sitting on the bed, not reading a book, but looking at the chat records of the group chat in the community.

He added Yan Luo as a friend, but he didn't know how to say hello, and he found it strange how to type, so he decided to go to the group to see how other people chatted.

The chat records are not nutritious, they are all sand sculpture emoticons and gags, but this is all new to Death.The group business cards of these group members used their real bodies, and Thanatos thought he had come to the zoo exchange meeting.

He also kept a lot of sand sculpture emoticons, which are the best tools to relieve embarrassment when he doesn't know what to say.

Panda head emoticons are very popular in the group. Coincidentally, there happens to be a mature giant panda in the group.

Giant Panda: How many times have I said, can you stop using panda head emojis, this panda is not so sandy!

Baiji Dolphin: Hey, I used text to automatically turn into emoticons, and many of the ones that popped up were panda heads. This was really not my intention.

Seeing this, Thanatos stopped swiping his fingers down.

Text can also be automatically converted to emoticons?

This is not the gospel of social fear.Many things feel awkward to type, but emoticons can resolve everything.

Thanatos fumbled to find this function, and immediately opened it.

Just after setting it up, another private chat message suddenly popped up.

Yan Luo: Are you done with dessert?Those things can't be left overnight, if I feel tired and can't finish them, I'll come and get them, so as not to waste them.

Thanatos glanced at the many desserts left, and typed two words: Endless.

He speaks concisely and succinctly, and his typing is omitted as much as possible.

Thanatos: Endless jpg

There is no problem with the text, but it is accompanied by an emoticon bag carrying a 40-meter sword through the chest, full of murderous looks.

……

After a long time, Yan Luo slowly sent a question mark.

Yama:?

Where did he offend the little god of death?

Little Reaper is quite protective of food.

Yan Luo: Okay, I won't take it, you eat slowly and put the knife away.

Thanatos was silent for a moment, then withdrew the emoticon package, pretending that it had never happened, and typed two regular words: Come on.

Then the input method automatically associates the emoticon package and sends it out.

Thanatos: come on baby

It's a coquettish villain who grinned and slapped his own ass.

Thanatos: ...

Yama:……

It seems that the little Reaper is very adaptable to the virtual world, and he is like a different god.Yan Luo stared at the emoji, a little in a trance.

Thanatos turned off the Lenovo function expressionlessly, threw away the phone, and curled himself up into a black ball.

What social fear gospel.

It's just a social death warning.
