Chapter 37: A Life of Pain
The light from the street passed through the curtains, and what should have been a warm bright yellow light was now a gloomy blue-purple spot.
Wrapped tightly in the futon, the man's gaze wandered in the gloomy room.
There are more than a dozen instant noodle buckets and unpacked bags stacked on the table, some bread crumbs scattered on the floor, and a few rats wandering around the bed, even feasting in front of him, even they live more comfortably than themselves......
He has been hiding in his house for 3 days, telling his parents and girlfriend that he is on a business trip, but in fact he has already quit his job in the company.
He couldn't go out, and he might have been able to hold on with a scarf and a face shield, but now his body was no longer limited to his cheeks.
Not only that, but the misty and terrifying fantasies that used to appear only in his dreams have recently begun to appear frequently, and he often feels that he is immersed in a river or sea somewhere, his body is soaked by the current, and there is no stone bank around, and beyond the current is the boundless darkness, and in this darkness there seems to be some special existence watching him, some special voice calling him.
It's a desperate feeling.
Creak~
The sound of the mouse, a webbed paw stretched out from the bedding, and the sheet covering his head was lifted, and his eyes saw the mouse standing at the table in front of him.
He felt disgusted, but when he thought of his current appearance, the mouse was simply cute.
He knew what it meant, and his body felt this way at this time of day, and when it disappeared, his body would usher in a new change.
Oh, that can't be called a change, it's ...... Mutation!
The whispers in his ears became more and more serious, and the scene in front of him began to briefly shift between blurry and clarity, and the mouse that had stood at the table before suddenly became a monster with more than a dozen tentacles and a few crooked eyes.
"Disgusting!"
He was angry, and stepped out of bed with a yell, his paw slapping straight at the mouse's body, no doubt a mass of flesh and mud in his hand.
Strength and agility have been greatly improved!
"Me, my body......"
This was the first time the man felt his own power, and some strange emotions vaguely arose in his heart, looking at the flesh in his hand, or a mass of objects that exuded a strange, indescribable black aura, his palm suddenly lifted up, and then put it down again.
The next second, he slammed into his mouth.
He wanted to be a hungry beast, devouring the "food" in his hands, but he didn't know that these things were leading him to the abyss.
Not enough!
It's not enough!!
His back was swelling, his shirt was torn, his teeth were full of mist, and the human glow in his eyes was dimming in favor of another frenzied darkness.
"Lao Yu, are you inside? Lao Yu! I heard the voice, I just went to your company to look for you, you have already resigned, right, what is wrong with you? Why don't you reply to my message and don't answer my phone. ”
An anxious female voice sounded in the doorway, and the man in the bedroom heard an eerie whisper.
"It's you monsters who made me what I am now, I'm going to kill you all!
He stood up from the table, his height of only about one meter seven had broken through to two meters at this moment, and staggered towards the door.
Screams rang out.
Calm ensued.
About 1 hour passed.
Someone leaned against the wall, his hand stained with blood trembling, turned on the communicator, and clicked on talk.
Fish Monster Inheritor: "I feel like I'm cured, I'm back to normal, I'm feeling good, do you want to come and see?"
In the shadows, he grinned, a little bit of flesh between his teeth.
On the other side, Zhu Jue was carrying his long knife to the door of the tavern, and he made an appointment with Wang Dong to meet here.
Glancing at the message on the phone, Zhu Jue was a little surprised, he still looked like he was going to die or live at noon today, now it's okay?
Can't wake up 123: "Okay, I'll take a look later, can you take a picture now?"
Fish Monster Inheritor: "I'm taking a shower, it's inconvenient, I'll see you later." ”
The water that falls from the showerhead flows down the body, turning a scarlet color and eventually flowing into the drainage holes in the floor.
"Tsk, after the mutation ended, even the tone changed, interesting......"
Zhu Jue put away his phone, he vaguely noticed something, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and strode into the tavern.
Wang Dong was already waiting for him at a bar on the outside.
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
Looking at the rotating screen in front of the tavern bar, he ordered a drink casually, turned his head to look at Wang Dong and asked.
"I'm just talking to you, on the one hand, I want to know what the monster you killed looks like, and on the other hand, I have something to tell you. ”
Before Zhu Jue could settle the bill, Wang Dong took the initiative to drag the virtual bill in front of Zhu Jue to the bill in front of him to overlap with himself, and then ordered a bunch of melons and fruits to eat.
The two of them sat down next to the bar, and the sound spread from all sides.
"I killed a protosome, and I heard them say that it seems to be some known No. 1 pollution source, what is its strength..... It's still a bit powerful, and to be honest, it really took me a lot of effort. ”
Talking about things in the sewers, Zhu Jue didn't hide it, this was his job in itself, and it wasn't an unsightly thing to kill a protosome.
On the contrary, it should have been a glorious thing, at least now he is famous within the Public Security Bureau.
"To put it so lightly about killing the source of protosomal pollution, you ..... before You don't really want to kill the black hand, do you?"
At this time, Wang Dong recalled what happened when he fought between the roof and the black hand before, and he thought that Zhu Jue was bold, but now he thinks about it and has another meaning.
"Of course, if I'm not going to kill him, what will I do upstairs and die?"
Zhu Jue looked at Wang Dong in surprise, he thought this was an obvious fact.
"Poofhaha~ It seems that I thought too much, but I didn't expect you to look young, but you are a ruthless person, do you want to cooperate in handling the case in the future?"
Investigators are different from informants, they already have a little autonomy, and when the police station also takes the initiative to contact them to help handle the case, Wang Dong's request for cooperation seems to outsiders to be very worthy of Zhu Jue's behavior as a first-class informant.
"I'm not interested, I only have thoughts about the sources of pollution, other prisoners...... If you encounter it, you will kill it, and if you can't meet it, I don't want to bother looking for it. ”
Zhu Jue is not a god, what he can manage is actually what he can reach.
