[Comprehensive] No. 8 Pawnshop.

Standing on the execution platform, Grenouille saw that after he used a drop of perfume to bring the city into confusion, a huge nothingness and loneliness enveloped his whole body. The proof of existence is its smell, and no smell means non-existence.

And even if the world's most beautiful perfume covers the whole body, it is only an illusion, and it cannot make him have a taste.He is born tasteless, that is, does not exist, is not recognized, and cannot be loved.

He thought that the perfume he trusted could redeem him and prove his existence, but everything now proves him wrong. Perfume is an illusion, a mask, making him an angel in people's eyes, respecting and loving him, the only daughter killed by him Earl Richis also regarded him as a close relative,

But under this mask, he has no face, no smell at all, just a beautiful existence imagined by others under the influence of perfume, relatives, lovers, admirers, admirers, without self.

Grenouille closed his eyes and shed tears, tears that he was crying for himself.

Suddenly, a different smell appeared, different from the smell he had ever smelled before. Grenouille opened his eyes and looked at the smell. He was also the only sober person who was not affected by this confusion. exist.

A strange oriental woman.

Grenouille's miraculous olfactory memory told him that before this moment, he had never smelled her in Grasse, the town of perfume, which meant that she did not exist before that.

The strange woman smiled at him and said, "Will you come with me?"

"Come with me, maybe you can get what you want."

A voice as seductive and sweet as poppies sounded, and Grenouille clearly heard his throat move, as well as a dry voice, "...OK."

Grenouille not only agreed to her, but also sat in her carriage, a beautiful and gorgeous carriage, but when he got into the carriage, the door closed automatically.Then, the two horses galloped without anyone leading them, ran out of the execution platform, and ran out of Grasse, the city of perfume.

But a few minutes later, an elegant young man in white clothes appeared at the original place, took one look and sighed, "I'm a step late."

With a slight wave of his hand, everyone woke up from the intoxication of the perfume, followed by shame and panic, whether it was a lawyer, a doctor, a hired worker or a bishop.And Lao Bai has already left here.

Grenouille sat quietly in the carriage, bowed his head and said nothing. Even though he noticed the strangeness of the carriage and the somewhat miraculous scenery outside the window, he did not respond.

Ye Li smiled and didn't speak, but she clearly knew that this young man in a blue coat and white shirt, white stockings and buckle shoes could make the whole world surrender to him with perfume. underfoot.

And he still has half a bottle of this perfume left.

So not only the No. [-] pawn shop will find him, but the Bai family will not let him be such an unstable factor.

Grenouille didn't know where the carriage would go, and he didn't ask, he just wanted to know if Ye Li could really let him get what he wanted.

The carriage finally arrived at a train station, and Ye Li took Grenoye on the train together, it would be a short journey.There is no need to worry about the Bai family members disturbing them on this journey.

----

There were not many people on the train and it was relatively quiet, but Grenouille could still smell the strong smell, the sweat in the wallet, the greasy smell of the hair, the fresh smell of the food, the ink smell of the newspaper in the hands of the gentlemen, and the lady's hat The freshness of the flowers pinned to it, he could even smell the sealed milk in the package.

Even a leaf in this world has its taste, but he doesn't have it, it doesn't exist, it's neglected.

Ye Li didn't seem to notice Grenouille's loneliness. On the contrary, she changed her previous silence on the carriage and began to have friendly conversations with the people in the carriage. There were not only French people in this carriage. There are Germans and British, and she can use any language proficiently.

Grenouille began to focus on this strange oriental woman, including the smell on her body.

If he is a person who has no taste, then the oriental woman who invited him to go with her has a very special smell, which is frightening and desperate but also has a wonderful, black taste that is extremely seductive.

Grenouille can even understand a person's heart through taste. It has to be said that he is a genius. This is a special ability, which is born with him, but it has no effect on Ye Li.

Because of Ye Li's friendliness and kindness, people around her turned their attention to the small young boy beside her. He didn't look tall, even a little thin, but he also looked harmless.

But who would have thought that this thin and inconspicuous little man would be the culprit who madly killed 25 young girls just to create the most perfect perfume, and just an hour or two before triggering a crazy feast in Grasse.

No one would think of it, and Grenouille didn't care about this so-called glory.

Someone started to talk to him, Grenouille's eyes flashed an imperceptible disgust, the man who was talking to him was wearing perfume, and there was a brand new jewelry box in his bag, but the slit in his palm But it hides the smell of grease in the workshop, and the white shirt worn inside has the smell of household soap locust washing. Obviously, he left home, behind his wife's back, and went to a place to meet a woman, or a mistress .

Of course, Grenouille would not be so stupid as to say it directly, but he was enough to dispel the other party's desire to continue the conversation with a few words.

A boring person has the flavor he wants, the love he wants.

Grenouille turned his head to the window without speaking.

----

The talking and laughing finally stopped, and the carriage seemed to have fallen into silence. Grenouille turned his head and frowned slightly when he saw the people who suddenly entered the noon break.

And Ye Li has already looked at him, staring at him with quiet eyes.

Under this kind of gaze, Grenouille's heart beat violently, beating like never before, because he felt the powerful and powerful power of the other party, which was enough to erode everything.

He thought he had met a devil.

Even though she doesn't look like a devil, sometimes, she is more like an angel, with an angel's face and an angel's smile.But the taste will not deceive Grenouille.

"Can you let me have love?" Grenouille raised her deep and dark eyes and looked at her.

He is not afraid of the devil, and he does not believe in God, because he is his own god.He will not be surprised by the miracle Ye Li brought, because he has already created a miracle.

He wants what he cannot create for himself, for which he can beg anyone, the devil or God.

But Ye Li smiled and said, "Sorry, we don't have love here."

Grenouille's eyes instantly fell into despair and darkness, no one could give him what he wanted, including himself.

"What kind of thing am I?" Grenouille asked with a trace of imperceptible despair in his doubts. If he was a devil, he should be able to answer him.

Why does he have no smell? Everyone is given a unique smell from birth, but he doesn't have it. Is this too harsh on him? He created a scent for himself that is more powerful than anyone standing in front of him. The smell is better and more appealing.He confuses all living beings, but he cannot confuse himself alone.So he never knows who he is.

Ye Li smiled and said, "You are a human being, a special human being." At least ordinary human beings cannot subdue all living beings and reverse the order of the entire world, even she herself, who was once a human being.It can be said that he is the closest human being to an angel or a demon, because through the smell, he can almost see the soul, almost very close

"Am I a human? I thought I was a monster?" Grenoye laughed at himself. He rarely talked so much, and more often he only communicated with himself, in caves, in dreams In, in sleep, in mind, in one's own fantasies.

Only myself, only loneliness.

"Although I can't give you the love you want, I can help you in another way."

Ye Li looked into his eyes, "Take out your perfume."

Grenouille didn't refuse, and took out the bottle of perverted perfume from his pocket and put it on the table between the two of them. He wasn't afraid that Ye Li would take it away, he had already memorized the smell of this bottle of perfume, It can be copied again, and he has no idea what effect this bottle of perfume will have on him. He doesn't need it for glory, fame and fortune.

Its taste could not even confuse him.

Ye Li took the perfume and said to him, "At the price of this bottle of perfume, I can erase your sense of smell and make you an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people?" Grenouille's lips moved, was it like those mediocre, indifferent and terrible ordinary people he had seen before?

The corners of Ye Li's mouth curled up, "If you get what you want, then your soul belongs to us; if not, I will return this bottle of perfume to you, so that you can be relieved."

After a moment of silence, Grenouille said: "...OK"

He is willing to pay the price of his soul if he can get what he has been seeking to explore.

Grenouille signed the contract in the small compartment, and no one would disturb them.

After the contract was signed, Ye Li raised his hand and placed it only a few centimeters away from his face. In just a split second, Grenouille lost the sense of smell that was bestowed by the gods.

He can no longer smell other people.

----

----

When the train stopped, Ye Li got off the train with the people, but she was the only one, Grenouille had disappeared.

Ye Li looked at the young man in a white suit who had been waiting on the platform for a long time, and smiled slightly.

If Ye Li hadn't made Grenoye accept her suggestion during the short journey, it would have been more difficult to have the Bai family intervene.Fortunately, she has done it.

Lao Bai sighed, "He has the ability to destroy the world." As long as he is willing, he can become the god and savior who plays with the world in his hands.

Ye Li responded with a smile, "He also has the ability to do nothing."

Even though this is the home of the Bai family, Ye Li is not worried, because the customers selected by No. [-] pawnshop have all abandoned the existence of God early in the morning, and the Bai family will only be in vain.

Like Grenouille, he never believed in any gods.

And Grenouille had already left the train carriage, and was sent to a place by Ye Li, a place where no one knew him, Ye Li created him an ordinary person's identity, no one knew his past, and he could no longer pass The gods endow the general sense of smell to understand others in an instant, and he can only live in the most ordinary way.

This is what he agreed to.

At first, he was a little scared, but gradually he accepted it calmly.In the past, the sense of smell was enough to complete everything. He didn't need to listen to see to know who was coming and what kind of past it was.

But now it's different,

The god stepped down from the altar and became a man.

Grenouille remained silent, hoping to find what he wanted.

Having lost his sense of smell and unwilling to make perfume anymore, he became another unremarkable worker in the city, busy in silence.

When he thought that life might go on like this forever, he met a girl named Noth next door to the rented house,

He couldn't smell her body fragrance, but he could see her innocent smile and sweet voice, which was everything he had ignored. She didn't fall in love with him because of his perfume, but she would blush when she saw him.

Grenouille couldn't smell her shy emotions, so he didn't know if it was love.

For three months, North hadn't spoken a word to him, and Grenouille was still a silent little man, so mediocre that no one noticed except North.

On the last morning he received North's daffodils, white as jade, with the name 'Grenouille' crookedly written on the emerald green leaves.

He smelled the daffodils, smelled them in his heart.

He finally felt the traces of his existence in this world.

At that moment, Grenouille finally got the love he dreamed of, and at this moment, his soul was owned by the pawnshop.

He is also satisfied, without any resentment.

----

Ye Li put the soul of this genius into a wooden box, and put it on the wooden box. At a glance, there are tens of thousands of wooden boxes, and the soul contained in this wooden box is much more precious than others. Many, many.

He came to this world with no desires and desires, and came to this world by mistake, but with a talent that haunted him all his life as if given by a god, he passed through difficult and ups and downs, conquered the world with his talents, but did not This external feeling is a kind of glory, so that I am very indifferent to the world.

He doesn't know life or death, and he doesn't care about where his soul will be after death. He just wants to know whether he ever existed.

In order to get this soul, Ye Li really spent a lot of effort.

And the No. [-] pawn shop got not only his soul, but also the half bottle of perfume that could turn all living beings upside down.
