Don’t panic when the apocalypse comes, stock up on food first and then guns

Chapter 493 I write an IOU

An hour passed.

Suzaku, "High Priest, she seems to be absorbing crystal nuclei, but the number of crystal nuclei a person can absorb in a short period of time is the same as a meal. It is limited. These crystal nuclei cannot help her."

She will still die from the fire, should we get her out? "

"No, she is right. Everyone has their own way to go. She died on the way or at the end. No one can make the decision except herself."

One day passed.

"High Priest, she is still absorbing it. With excess energy and disordered powers, she will become an irrational monster."

"Don't worry, maybe she is a monster herself..."

Three days passed.

During these three days, the high priest barely moved, and did not even take a sip of water. He kept staring at the vessel that was constantly overflowing with sand.

There was a thick layer of gray gravel on the floor of the laboratory, covering the tops of my feet.

Suzaku quietly pulled out his feet from the sand and shook them.

Then he looked at the fiberglass with some confusion. There were so many deserted crystal nuclei, estimated to be hundreds of thousands. There were so many that he could bury himself...

Is she Jingle Cat?

Why are you carrying so many things with you? !

Even the high priest was a little worried at this time.

Even if it is a monster, there is a limit to absorbing crystal cores, right?

The crystal cores absorbed by this guy are enough to consume an excellent team of a thousand people for a month.

The high priest couldn't help but think of what Jiang You said before, "Some beasts cannot eat enough..."

Not long after, there were no more sandy crystal nuclei sliding out of the fiberglass. It seemed that the absorption had reached its limit.

The high priest secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suzaku blinked: Oh, it turns out that Jingdang Cat's pockets will also be used up...

But why hasn't she come out yet?

Suzaku stretched his neck to look forward, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, "High Priest, the fire has not completely entered her body yet?"

Among the long gray gravel, something as thin as a red thread was twisting crazily.

The blood seeped through again, dyeing the gravel grayish brown.

The high priest frowned and said slowly, "Whatever she desires, she will be shackled by. All weapons that make people invincible will eventually consume themselves. She is too greedy..."

"Jiang You, you still have one last chance. As long as you ask for help, I will help you.

Take you out and terminate the fusion process of fire. Your current body is like a severely overloaded truck walking on a winding mountain road, and it will be doomed at any time. "

After a few seconds, a hoarse voice came from the glass vessel, "If I ask for help, will you help me?"

"Of course, we are partners."

Although she was wrapped in thick gravel and couldn't see clearly, you could tell from the abyss that she was very weak.

"Okay, you can lend me the crystal core!"

"Crystal core?"

The high priest frowned, "You still want to continue?"

"I just ask you, should I borrow it or not?"

"Lending you the crystal core means sending you to death..."

"You can take out the fire from my body after I die. Even though the crystal core won't be returned, you won't lose at all!"

"you sure?"

"I write an IOU and write an IOU." Jiang You's hoarse voice was weak but firm.

"If I'm lucky enough to survive, I'll return double your crystal core in the future!"

The high priest tapped his index finger lightly and said, "Go."

Suzaku immediately exited and trotted in after a while, bringing a few pieces of white paper with him.

"How much to borrow?"

Jiang You opened his mouth to say that the more the better, but after thinking about it, he gave a precise number.

"Two hundred thousand crystal nuclei!"

The high priest said, "Ha~ I'm a bit loud...Suzaku, give it to her."

With a stroke of his pen, the high priest asked Suzaku to send over the IOU.

Suzaku looked at the vessel hanging in mid-air, dragged a table over, placed a stool on top of the table, then stood on the stool with his feet and stretched the IOU towards the gap in the vessel.

At this time, the gap was filled with gravel and nothing could be seen.

But there seemed to be something crawling beneath the gravel, rising and changing arcs.

The gray gravel stretched out a bloody hand. The hand had no skin, or in other words, all the skin had been scraped off. Blood lines were constantly surging in the bloody hand, as if it was struggling to leave the body, but was dragged away by something. Pulling...

The white bones can be clearly seen in some places on this palm.

Like flesh squeezed out of grape skins, wet and bloody.

The bloody hand grabbed the pen and signed the word "Jiang You", and at the same time stamped a bloody palm mark.

Ten minutes later.

Small bucket trucks filled with crystal cores were brought in like running water and fell to the ground with a crash.

Suzaku counted on his fingers seriously and thought.

If it were him, his monthly salary would be one hundred third-order crystal cores. How many years would it take to save two hundred thousand crystal cores?

The clear black and white eyes looked at the ceiling through the Suzaku head mask, and finally realized that he would never be able to repay it in his life.

Because her monthly crystal cores are just enough and she can’t save them.

Sure enough, the high priest still had more savings.

Another day passed, and the person in the glass vessel showed no intention of coming out.

The gravel machine on the laboratory floor was piled up to a thickness of almost ten centimeters. The hurricane rolled the last pile of crystal nuclei into the fiberglass. Suzaku felt like there was a sandstorm in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The familiar voice came from the tank again.

"High Priest, borrow another 200,000 crystal nuclei."

High Priest, "..."

Suzaku thought to himself, do you think the high priest was taken advantage of?

Unexpectedly, he nodded cheerfully and asked people to continue delivering, "I also want to see how much she can eat."

"What if she takes it all into the space?"

"No, I can feel the consumption of energy. Those crystal nuclei have all been transformed...

It seems that this time the partner is an interesting... monster. "

The high priest spoke slowly, stroking the collar with his slender fingers. The small dark moles on the tiger's mouth added a bit of seductiveness to these beautiful hands.

So Suzaku watched helplessly as the crystal core was sent in for free. She felt that Jiang You would have to sell himself to the Dawn Tower to pay off the debt for the rest of his life, and it would take at least five hundred years to pay off the debt.

This time the hand that was stretched out from the container to sign was full of cracks and looked like it had been brushed by a blade, but it had skin at least and was not as scary as before.

So next.

"...Borrow two hundred thousand."

"for you."

"Borrow another two hundred thousand."

"High Priest?" Suzaku hesitated.

"give her……"

"..."

"Borrow it again..."

After a few rounds, Suzaku saw veins bulging on the back of the high priest's hands, looking angry.

The high priest hadn't been this angry in two years.

"You owe me two million crystal cores now, and you're not afraid of supporting yourself to death?" His voice was still gentle, and there was no trace of anger at all.

"No one will pay your debts until you die..."

The high priest chuckled lightly, stood up and shook off the dust on his body, and said to Suzaku, "Let her borrow it."

A few days later, Suzaku held a thick stack of IOUs in his hand and walked numbly to the ninth floor of Dawn Tower.

The black robe on his body was covered with dust, as if he had crawled out of a tunnel.

The originally lifelike Suzaku head mask has also been stained with vicissitudes of life, and the colorful feathers have lost their luster.

A thick stack of IOUs lay on the high priest's table.

"High Priest, she came out. This is an IOU." Suzaku said tiredly.

"I thought she didn't have enough to eat, but it turns out there are times when she knows how to hold on."

Suzaku whispered, "... Mainly because your private treasury has already been borrowed, and if you borrow any more, you will have to use the warehouse in the tower."

Borrowing is a personal act of the high priest, so he can only use his private treasury. Suzaku strictly follows the regulations.

So it's not that the woman has stopped borrowing, but that the high priest has already borrowed all.

The high priest's hand holding the chess piece twitched slightly, and his breathing suddenly became heavier.

"How much did she...borrow?"

"A total of 6.33 million was borrowed."

"How much is left?"

"You still have...and...sixteen crystal nuclei in your private treasury."

Suzaku lowered his head and stared directly at his toes.

"Click~"

The black piece was pressed heavily on the chessboard, and the delicate white jade chessboard instantly cracked like a spider web with the black piece at the center, and then shattered into pieces.
