Grenouille stood on the execution platform, after witnessing that he brought the city into confusion with a drop of perfume, the huge nothingness and loneliness enveloped the whole body, the proof of existence is its smell, no smell That is, it does not exist.

And even the most wonderful perfume in the world covers the whole body, it is only an illusion, and it cannot make him smell. He was born tasteless, i.e. non-existent, unacknowledged, unloved.

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 He, the Count of Riches, whose only daughter he killed, also regarded him as a close relative,

But under this mask, he has no face, no smell at all, just as a beautiful existence imagined by others under the effect of perfume, relatives, lovers, admirers, admirers, and no self.

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

Suddenly, a different smell appeared, and it was different from the smell he had smelled before. Grenouille opened his eyes and looked at the place of the smell, which was also in this confusion The only awake being unaffected.

A strange oriental woman.

Grenouille's miraculous olfactory memory told him that before this moment, he had not smelled her in Grasse, the town of perfume, which means that here Before, she didn't exist.

The strange woman smiled at him and said, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Follow me, maybe you can get what you want."

The seductive and sweet voice sounded like a poppy, Grenouille clearly heard the movement of his throat, and the dry voice, "...Okay."

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

But a few minutes later, a young man in white and elegant appeared in the original place, just glanced at it and sighed, "One step late."

With a slight wave of his hand, everyone woke up from the intoxication of perfume, then shame, panic, whether it was lawyers, doctors, servants or bishops. And Lao Bai has left here.

Grenoye sat quietly in the carriage, bowing his head without saying a word, even if he discovered the strangeness of the carriage and the magical scenery that changed too quickly outside the car window, there was no reaction.

Ye Li smiled and did not speak, but she clearly knew that this young man in a blue coat and white shirt, white stockings and buckled shoes, could Bring the whole world to his feet with perfume.

And he still has half a bottle left.

So not only will the No. 8 pawnshop find him, but the Bai family will not let him be such an unstable factor.

Grenoye didn't know where the carriage was going, and he didn't ask, he just wanted to know if Ye Li could really get him what he wanted.

The carriage finally came to a train station, and Ye Li also took Grenouille on the train, which would be a short journey. Don't worry about the white family disturbing them on this journey.

——

He could smell the ink of the newspaper inside, the freshness of the flowers pinned to the lady's hat, and even the milk sealed in the package.

Even a leaf in this world has its taste, but he does not, does not exist, is ignored.

Ye Li didn't seem to notice Grenouille's loneliness and loneliness. On the contrary, she changed her silence on the carriage and started a friendly conversation with the people in the carriage. There are not only French, German, and British in the carriage, and she can use any language proficiently.

Grenoye began to focus on this strange oriental woman, including her smell.

the taste of.

Grenoye can even understand a person's heart through his taste. I have to say that he is a genius. doesn't work.

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

But who would have thought that this thin and inconspicuous little man would be crazy to kill twenty-five teenage girls just to create the most perfect perfume, and just an hour or two ago caused Grasse The culprit of the confused feast.

No one would have thought, and Grenouille did not care about this so-called glory.

Someone started trying to talk to him, Grenouille's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible disgust, the man he was talking to was specially sprayed with perfume, and there was a brand new jewelry box in his bag , but in the crevices of his palms there is the smell of grease from the workshop, and the white shirt he wears smells like household soap shavings. Obviously, he left home, carrying his wife, to go somewhere To meet a woman, or rather a mistress.

Of course Grenouille wouldn't be stupid enough to say it directly, but he was enough to dissuade the other party from wanting to continue the conversation with a few words.

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

Grenouille tilted her head out of the window and said nothing.

——

The chatter and laughter finally stopped, the carriage seemed to fall into silence, Grenouille turned his head to see the people who had suddenly entered the lunch break, and frowned slightly.

Ye Li was already looking at him, his quiet eyes staring at him.

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

He thought, he met a devil.

Even if 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 flavor won't fool Grenouille.

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

He is not afraid of the devil, nor does he believe in God, because he is his own God. He would not be surprised by the miracle that Ye Li brought, because he had already created a miracle.

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

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

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

"What exactly am I?" Grenouille said with a hint of despair in his doubts. If it was the devil, he should be able to answer it for him.

The person standing in front of him smells better and more attractive. He confuses sentient beings, but he alone cannot confuse himself. So he never knew who he was.

Ye Li smiled and said, "You are a human being, a special human being." At least ordinary human beings can't make all living beings surrender and reverse the order of the entire world, even if she 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

"I'm human? I thought I was a monster?" Grenoyer laughed at himself, he rarely talked so much, more often he would only talk to himself Communication, in caves, in dreams, in sleep, in mind, in one's own fantasies.

Only myself, only loneliness.

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

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

Grenouille did not refuse, and took the bottle of perfume that turned all beings upside down from his pocket and placed it on the table between the two. He was not afraid that Ye Li would take it. After living in this bottle of perfume, he can completely reproduce it again, and he has no idea what effect this bottle of perfume can have on him. He doesn't need it at all for fame and fortune.

The taste of it didn't even confuse him.

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

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

"

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

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

Grenoye signed the contract in the cramped carriage, 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 his sense of smell as if bestowed by a god.

He can't smell anyone else anymore.

——

——

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

Ye Li looked at the long-awaited young man in a white suit on the platform and smiled.

If Ye Li hadn't made Grenouille accept her advice during the short trip, it would have been more difficult to have the Bai family's interjection. Fortunately, she has done it.

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

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 guests selected by the pawnshop No. 8 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.

Grenoyer had already left the train carriage, and was sent to a place by Ye Li, a place where no one knew him, Ye Li made him an ordinary person, and no one knew him In the past, he can no longer understand others in an instant through the general sense of smell given by the gods, and he can only live in the most ordinary way.

He also agreed.

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 and see to know who was coming and what kind of past it was.

But now it's different,

God stepped down from the altar and became a man.

Grenouille remained silent, hoping to find what he was looking for.

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

When he thought life might go on like this, 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 neglected, she didn't fall in love with him because of his perfume, but she would She blushes when she sees him.

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

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

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

He felt the smell of daffodils and smelled it 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 belonged to the pawnshop.

He is also content, 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 this wooden box contains the soul Compared with others, it is much more precious.

He has no desires and no desires, and he came into this world by mistake, but he has a talent that has entangled him in his life as if it was bestowed by a god. To conquer the whole world, but not feel honored for this external thing, so as to be indifferent to the world.

He doesn't know whether to live or die, and he doesn't care where his soul goes after death, he just wants to know if he ever existed.

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

And No. 8 Pawnshop got not only his soul, but also the half bottle of perfume that can turn all beings upside down.
