Some of them are...cold.

However, after years of service, the waiter understood that his presence at this time was just right and offered dishes to ease the atmosphere.

He first placed two opened bottles of red wine on the table, trying hard to act like a butler.

"Red wine from Morocco, fermented in oak barrels with a more intense vanilla flavor, a little bit of sugared almonds, and a simple taste..."

The waiter had already started pouring into both of their glasses, and gently lifted the silver tray from the dining cart and removed the lid.

It was indeed a hearty lunch, with steak fried to perfection, a platter of twelve strips of fried bacon, blackened fish... a total of nine dishes.

An Ran waved coldly, and the waiter nodded and pushed the food cart away.

There were only two people left in the box again.

"You gluttonously eat every time you act?" He forked up a piece of bacon, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it gently.

Xu Sinuo couldn't help but pick up the fork, stuffed the food into his mouth, and ate hard, ignoring the questions.

"I kept this secret for you. No one except me and Li Fei knew that you had binge eating." An Ran swallowed a piece of meat.

"Zero, I don't want anyone else to know what just happened."

"Understood, sir." The voice of the artificial intelligence came from the phone.

In fact, there are two other people who know the results of Xu Sinuo's blood test, namely An Xin and the person in charge of the blood test.

However, the researcher who conducted the blood test did not know the secret of binge eating.

Xu Sinuo finally raised his head, like a cautious cat.

"When did it start?" he asked again.

The girl seemed to be struggling with her thoughts. After several minutes of hesitation, she finally spoke.

"Two years ago."

"You were still in the academy at the time, only 17 years old, it was incredible."

"Senior, shouldn't I have been only 12 years old at that time?" Xu Sinuo raised her head dimly. She was still thinking about that matter.

An Ran pursed her lips, turned her head away and didn't look him in the eye.

But she really looks like a 14-year-old...

"Two years of binge eating? And it's a possessed devouring weapon. Based on historical data, this is almost impossible."

"What will happen to me after I binge eat?"

Xu Sinuo didn't seem to understand, and An Ran looked at her in surprise.

"do not you know?"

"After bingeing, I feel that my connection with 'Fall' is closer... as if it is a part of my body."

"Overeating will give you a short-term boost in strength, but no one can afford the consequences, so it is called a taboo."

An Ran recalled what he had learned in the top-secret archives room.

There is no doubt that the executives turned into lunatics after the overeating, and their minds were controlled by the heart that Wu Chenmian had devoured.

Does the Devouring Sorrow preserve the alien's memories of its previous life?

He thought of this point and heard:

"Do you hear any noises every time you binge eat?"

"sound?"

Xu Sinuo stopped chewing and his face suddenly changed.

"There seemed to be a voice, a woman's voice appeared a few seconds after bingeing, and she said she would give me strength."

This doesn’t mean An Ran’s guess is correct, but he feels it’s pretty close.

Using one's own flesh and blood to nourish Devouring Wu, the power gained in exchange actually awakens the dormant Devouring Sorrow.

The Devouring Sorrow not only serves as the alien's heart, it also carries its memories of its previous life, as well as... part of its power.

Recalling the artificial alien experiment discussed with my sister, I resurrected a Banshang.

Can the Devouring Sorrow really be used to revive dead alien species?

An Ran kept this question in his heart.

After wiping his mouth with a dry towel, these foods were not important to An Ran.

He had to stop Xu Sinuo from continuing to overeat.

"All those who overeat suffer backlash without exception, that is, they become monsters that lose their minds. You can think of them as monsters that have devoured a different species."

"I seem to know a little bit, but I didn't think it was so serious." Xu Sinuo whispered.

"You actually used gluttony to get promoted to Elite Executive Officer?"

"Yes... With my physical fitness, I can't actually control a high-level devouring weapon, let alone a possession type."

An Ran looked into her eyes:

"Why do this?"

"revenge."

When the girl said the word "revenge", An Ran could unexpectedly feel the strong hatred coming from her, and his timid eyes suddenly became firm.

Perhaps it was for this reason that she was able to gluttonize for two years without being assimilated by the devil.

An Ran did not ask who he was taking revenge on, but nodded to show that he understood.

"So who taught you to gluttony?"

"No one taught me." Xu Sinuo shook his head. "I learned it from a diary."

"journal?"

"The relic my father left behind was a crumpled diary that detailed the steps of binge eating, but that was only part of it."

Xu Sinuo chose to tell the truth, she believed An Ran.

"There are still a lot of things I don't understand. Those words are not the federal language commonly used in the Third District."

"You're a genius, can you let me see that diary?"

Xu Sinuo looked a little hesitant.

An Ran waited quietly, holding the glass and began to swallow the untouched red wine.

The diary seemed extremely important, and the girl seemed unwilling to hand it over to anyone.

"I will return it to you after you read the contents of the diary. After investigation, I found that your parents run a small company and are ordinary people."

An Ran narrowed his eyes and said the key point:

"Then how did your father know about Gluttony? This is a top secret file in the Countermeasures Bureau, and I can help you get revenge."

Perhaps this sentence finally worked. Xu Sinuo nodded slightly and pretended to wipe his mouth with a towel.

"You have to help me get revenge."

She puffed up her cheeks and hummed.

An Ran stood up and extinguished the candle flame with a flick of his hand.

"it is good."

Chapter 58 Rush

Salon Ling, No. 42 Fu'an Street, it is an old apartment.

Located in a deep alley with old buildings on both sides, it makes people feel uneasy and cold.

A Bentley was parked outside the apartment stairs, and the expensive car formed a striking contrast with the alley.

It's too damp here.

An Ran raised her head in the cab and looked at the apartment in front of her that was covered with moss, so dense that it looked like a wriggling worm.

He thought of the wall monster.

But there are more inexplicably painful memories, fuzzy and dry, with fragments of memory piercing through the mind with the sharpest thorns.

There were rustling noises coming from the apartment.

An Ran considered and spoke:

"Is this where you used to live? There's not much light coming in, and the whole alley gives me a bad feeling."

"This is the house my grandfather left behind. It was the cheapest house in that era. Someone died there before, so the price was kept low."

Xu Sinuo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pushed open the car door first and stepped on the damp ground. Half a meter in front of him was a drainage ditch covered with green grass.

An Ran got out of the car, locked the door, and looked around. The depth of the alley seemed to be covered with fog.

The moment he stepped into the dilapidated staircase door, he was slightly startled and his body immediately stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xu Sinuo next to him was puzzled.

An Ran raised his right hand, which was a gesture to indicate not to make any noise, and with his left hand he took out a fully loaded pistol from his windbreaker.

It was a silver pistol with the T4 logo, loaded with bullets and the safety was pulled.

A customized product of the largest weapons manufacturer, T Company, whose main company is in District 2 and has business cooperation with An Group.

It has a large-caliber 0.46 semi-automatic pistol, and the bullets it uses can tear apart the body of a brown bear, causing devastating damage.

Seeing this, Xu Sinuo couldn't help but hold his breath.

He put the girl behind him, walked up the stairs quietly, and raised his head vigilantly.

A rustling sound was heard, like a crawling giant beast.

It was neither a cat nor a dog. It looked like a crocodile, but bigger than a crocodile. The strange wriggling sound made it sound like a bug.

An Ran smelled blood.

Xu Sinuo also subconsciously reached for his waist and realized that he did not carry a gun. He bent down and went upstairs along the peeling wall.

In fact she heard nothing, all was quiet.

The whole building fell into an eerie silence, with only the roar of the breeze blowing quickly through the air being heard.

An Ran paused, turned around, and saw Xu Sinuo tugging at the corner of his windbreaker.

She mouthed silently:

"What's wrong……"

"Someone is here." She received a response in sign language.

Sign language is one of the basic courses in the Intelligence Counterattack Department of Atlanta College, but Xu Sinuo obviously does not understand sign language.

She tilted her head with a questioning look.

An Ran waited for a while before speaking in a low voice:

"There's someone up there."

"Isn't it normal to have people in the apartment building?"

"No, I asked Zero to investigate the area while I was in the car. This alley was almost emptied out a year ago."

An Ran told the girl the seriousness of the matter.

"Because there are frequent cases of alien attacks here, no developer is willing to take over this piece of land, so it has become an empty alley."

"No wonder it felt so quiet." Xu Sinuo shrank his head.

An Ran’s meaning was clear enough. The person upstairs was most likely not a normal human being, but an alien.

So the two stopped talking. This old apartment building had no elevator, and they climbed up to the sixth floor step by step. Their voices gradually became clearer.

The phagocytes are already getting agitated; they smell fresh food.

An Ran held Xu Sinuo's shoulders. The girl suddenly passed him. He gestured for her to stop worriedly.

“Don’t surpass me.”

He tried to keep his voice as low as possible to ensure that he would not alert the enemy but still be able to let Xu Sinuo hear him, and his finger was on the trigger.
