Seven Virtues
Chapter 16 Pandora's Box
In recent days, what happened in the Gold Hotel made Gordon a little bit at a loss. He vaguely guessed what caused all this to happen, but he still couldn't believe that it was so terrible.
About five days ago, that is, three days before Mulberry and Chastity came to the Golden Hotel, an uninvited guest came to Gordon's Golden Hotel.
It was an unusually tall man wrapped in a black robe. When he saw Gorden, the man's face was not covered, but Gorden just couldn't remember his face.
That day, the man who came to the Golden Hotel for the first time stood in the middle of the hall with his head bowed. His head was bobbing around, as if he was looking for something.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" Without knowing the man's identity, a mid-level waiter endured his disgust for black and approached the man with a smile on his face.
"Is Mr. Gordon there?" The man turned his head slightly and asked the waiter beside him.
"The master is here, you are..." the waiter continued with a smile.
Only when he gets close to the man, can the waiter feel the extremely uncomfortable smell around the man, as well as the indistinct majesty. Even though the man is deliberately suppressing his frightening majesty, the waiter still senses a trace of the superiority. aura.
This man is not simple, this is the conclusion drawn by the waiter after contacting him.
This time the man didn't speak, he raised his head slightly to look at the waiter, the blood and cruelty in his eyes made the waiter take a step back in fright.
Then, the man went straight up the golden staircase on the right without being informed of Gordon's location. When he stepped on the stairs, the man's hands were hanging straight on both sides. He seemed to have an extreme aversion to golden things , because he needed a black robe to block even touching the golden armrest.
The frightened waiter didn't speak again, he just stayed where he was and watched the man walk towards the second floor step by step, and then raised his right foot to step up the stairs to the third floor.
Gordon's bedroom is at the top of the fifth floor. At this time, Gordon is sitting leisurely on his dark-colored armchair, reading "To Hell" with great interest.
Gordon is a demon believer. What he admires is not a holy and noble God, but demons living in hell. Compared with the beautiful fraternity of gods, Gordon is more willing to believe in selfish demons who follow their desires.
Although the Golden Hotel is marked by a holy cross, his master admires the opposite demon. Gordon believes that the acquisition of money has nothing to do with faith. Although he believes in demons, using the cross as a gimmick can earn him a lot of money , and even the praise and support of the nobles.
This golden hotel was built by the nobles with a lot of money, and Gordon is only a nominal owner. Without the support of the nobles, the golden hotel cannot continue to operate, so the preferential treatment of the nobles is the only one in the golden hotel. Critical.
While Gorden was carefully reading the book, his door, which was golden on one side and blood-red on the other, was suddenly opened, and the golden lock on it fell to the ground with a click.
Gordon sharply put the book in his hand under the cushion behind him immediately, "Who are you? How did you get in?" Gordon looked warily at the man in black who came in. The dark color on the man reminded him of the devil.
After the door closed with a bang, the man stretched out his right hand and pulled down the hood that covered his face. The man's face was light gray, his pupils were blood red, and his hair was It was pitch black.
"You are... a demon?" Gordon looked at the man surrounded by darkness in surprise. He knew that only high-level demons possessed blood-red pupils.
The man curled his lips into a smile, "Gordon, the demon believer, this is the first time we meet. There is something I need to keep for you." The man looked at Gordon with an evil face, his evil face was particularly full of dark charm, and his blood-red pupils particularly fascinated Gordon. .
This is a very attractive male demon.
Gordon happily knelt down on his knees and looked at the devil reverently, "Master Devil, if you have anything to ask, I will protect it with my life."
The admiration on Gordon's face made the man extremely satisfied. He raised his right hand and gradually opened his clenched fist. Gradually, a purple treasure box surrounded by black air appeared in front of Gordon. It was completely occupied by it, it was a treasure box full of temptation.
"This is..." Gordon asked with trembling hands, he couldn't restrain his impulse, the treasure box was too attractive to him.
"This is Pandora's Box." The man stroked the extraordinarily expensive jewels on the treasure box. The allure of the treasure box was like nothing in front of the devil.
"Pandora..?" This reminded Gordon of the famous Greek myth.
Pandora is a woman made of clay by Hephaestus, the god of fire. She is a perfect woman endowed with all talents by the gods. In order to avenge Prometheus for creating man and stealing fire, Zeus ordered Hephaestus Hermes gave Pandora to Epimetheus, Prometheus' brother.
Because of his natural dullness and Pandora's beauty, Epimetheus married this perfect woman despite his brother's advice, but one day Prometheus brought a treasure box and warned his brother not to open the box , otherwise it will bring disaster.
But Pandora, who was endowed with curiosity by Hera, couldn't hold back the strong curiosity in her heart. She opened the mysterious box while her husband Epimetheus was out.
Because of her actions, the disasters contained in the box were released. Diseases, madness, disasters, sins, jealousy, adultery, theft, and greed flew out of the box in a cloud of black mist. Only Athena put them in the box. The good hope at the bottom didn't have time to fly out of the box, but other disasters still befall the world. ---Greek mythology
Since then, Pandora's box has been regarded as a gift that will bring misfortune, an abyss of disaster.
However, even though he knew that the purple treasure box in front of him represented evil and disaster, Gordon was still confused by it, and he began to constantly imagine what kind of disaster was contained in the box.
"Believers, as long as you guard this treasure box for seven days, then you will have the chance to become a devil, and all the treasures and power will be at your feet." The devil gently put the magic box between Gordon's arms, his smile full of malice.
"Yes, Lord Devil, I will protect it with my life, and I will never open it." After Gordon bent down respectfully against the ground, he held the magic box tightly. His actions were seen by the devil, but Nothing stopped it.
"Remember what you said, I will come again in seven days." After finishing speaking, the demon turned into a gust of wind and left through Gordon's slightly opened window.
The devil's departure made Gordon completely relaxed. He began to greedily touch the shell of the magic box. The beautiful and alluring purple made him addicted to it. Several times he almost couldn't restrain himself from trying to open the unstable black lock, but he Still stopped.
Pandora's box fell into the hands of a curious human being. It was like dropping a piece of fried pork belly into Hungry Khan's dirty bowl, and he had no other choice but to eat it.
So, after guarding the magic box for three days, Gordon still couldn't help being curious, and opened the magic box a little. It was the slightly opened gap that let the evil thoughts that were about to move in the magic box fly out.
Although Gorden had quickly closed the lid of the box, the evil thoughts that flew out could never be taken back, and the beating incident began to happen on the second day after the evil thoughts flew out.
Once the beating incident becomes serious, the evil thoughts are likely to spread to the nobles, which is not allowed by Gordon, and if the devil finds that he has opened the magic box after seven days, then his end will not be as simple as death .
So, after thinking about it, he decided on Mulberry.
As a priest, Mulberry has the ability to purify, and Gorden could clearly feel his full holy power as soon as he entered the hotel, which made him even more certain that Mulberry was the only one who could save him.
So the first thing Gordon did when he got up early in the morning was to come to the room where Mulberry was in his bright clothes.
After adjusting his golden bow tie a little, Gordon cleared his throat and began knocking on the silver door.
"My lord priest, I am Gordon, the owner of the hotel. May I come in?" Gordon, who curled up his lips and smiled kindly, called out to Mulberry in his gentle voice. After he tapped twice politely, he folded his hands Put it in front of you and wait for the door to open.
However, after 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 3 minutes, Gordon could no longer maintain a perfect smile, and he continued to tap. This time, he tapped much harder, and the "dong dong" sound even caused Comes the chastity of the house next door.
Changing into white clothes, Zhen Jie stepped on white leather shoes and came to the silver-white door with a look of dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?" He glared at Gordon who was about to knock again, as if Gordon had done something unforgivable thing.
As soon as Chastity approached, Gordon felt the same amount of holy power, and this holy power seemed to come from the soul.
After officially becoming a believer recognized by the devil, Gordon has the ability to feel the power of holiness. Although it is useless, it also has some benefits.
"Hello, honored guest, I have something urgent to ask for the priest's help." Gordon was very uncomfortable being watched by the chastity that reached up to his shoulder, and he turned to face the door to minimize the number of times he met the chastity. .
"My lord gets up at nine o'clock every day, so you can come back at 09:30." The implication is that you come early, and your lord is a person who wants to sleep late.
Gorden, who was already anxious, gradually lost his patience, "But I really need to find my lord priest for something urgent, can you help me wake up my lord?"
"No, please go back." Zhenjie stared at Gordon indifferently, and he dodged to block the door, preventing Gordon from entering.
"Tsk, get out of the way." Gordon, who was very anxious, began to ignore the hotel's regulations. He grabbed Zhenjie by the shoulders and pushed him aside, but he found that he couldn't push him at all.
When Gordon wanted to strike again, his right hand was pinched desperately by Zhenjie, and a sharp pain came from Gordon's wrist. At this time, Zhenjie seemed to be a different person, and the innocence and innocence on his face were all gone. There are only traces of extreme indifference and indifference, as if Gordon's broken arm is not as good as a lazy sleep in Mulberry's eyes.
There is a common problem between humility and chastity, that is, they can be extremely humble or even humble, they can be innocent or innocent, but all they show is indifference and indifference to the existence of life.
In their eyes, the life and death of a person is no different from that of an ant. Their humility and purity are greatly magnified, but the respect and pity for life no longer exist. This is another extreme.
Or they are just following what they should do. If he is chaste, then he only needs to show chastity, and other things have nothing to do with him; if he is humble, then he only needs to be humble to others, so maintain He can also pinch the throat of human breathing, because he is humble, and he only needs to be humble.
