Chapter 44: Mutation

"We are very sorry that due to some special reasons, the Yecheng Station of the Pole Race, which was originally scheduled to be held on February 28, has been cancelled. ”

Li Qinglian's voice woke Zhu Jue up from his sleep, and he opened his eyes in a daze, his face was a cloud of fluff, and the head of the wind chime fell on his face without knowing when.

Glancing sideways at the person beside him, Zhu Jue only felt that his mind was a little drowsy, and the awkwardness of his body made him frown.

It's not fatigue after staying up late, Zhu Jue can be sure of that.

With his current strong physique, let alone sleeping late, even if he doesn't sleep for two days in a row, he will only feel mentally exhausted at most.

However, the reality was that something was wrong with him.

"What's wrong?"

picked up the wind chime, got up from the floor, and did a few stretching movements in a row, and the joints of his body made a crisp sound, which attracted the sideways attention of Shao Lan and his party next to him.

"Maybe because of the snowstorm, the Yakuza Contest was canceled. ”

Li Qinglian poured a glass of juice from the bar and sent it to Zhu Jue and said.

"It's a bit snowy. ”

After taking the juice, Zhu Jue was not too surprised by this result, and indeed not many people would go out to watch a boxing match in this kind of weather.

While speaking, his eyes subconsciously looked out the window, and the scene of snowflakes in the sky made Zhu Jue feel inexplicably familiar.

He seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Where is it?

With the deepening of his thinking, somehow, the snowfield that had appeared in his dream began to flash in Zhu Jue's mind.

Airplanes~

The noise that would only appear when he noticed the appearance of the monster filled Zhu Jue's mind.

didn't give him any time to react, and the world in front of him was suddenly covered with an obscure black veil.

The snowflakes that slapped on the glass should have dissipated, in fact, in Li Qinglian's eyes, they did dissipate, but in Zhu Jue's field of vision, these snowflakes were glowing with a pitch-black luster, sticking out of the windows like silt, and they were filling all the windows in front of him as fast as they could.

"It's so cold, is there any wind leakage, Zhu Jue Zhu Jue?"

Li Qinglian stood on the side, her body trembled suddenly, and a chill ran down her back to the back of her head, and she was about to find which window in the room was not closed, but she saw Zhu Jue standing in place, and the cup containing juice in her hand was covered by frost.

Cold air is pouring from him!

Li Qinglian has always known that Zhu Jue is not an ordinary person.

But in the past, when there were no shooting tasks, Zhu Jue's state was actually not much different from that of an otaku.

loves to sleep lazy, can lie down and never sit, and usually likes to play games, which makes her always treat Zhu Jue as an ordinary person.

It turns out that men are fickle.

Looking back at the few people behind him who had already entered the final step of the negotiation, Li Qinglian was a little nervous and wanted to pat Zhu Jue's shoulder to make him sober up, but the next moment her fingertips touched his shoulder, it bounced away like an electric shock.

"You're alright?"

Li Qinglian finally realized that there might be something wrong with Zhu Jue at this time, and shouted several times in her voice.

Her call seemed to have an effect, as Zhu Jue did turn his head around.

At the same time, Wu Tong and Shao Lan turned to her.

When Chang~

When the phone landed, Li Qinglian opened her mouth, her face full of shock.

The resolute face was already covered with silver-gray stripes at this time, and the eyes that were originally black and white were filled with a deep blue light.

She's seen this kind of scene in the video not long ago.,It's just that it's what it looks like when the mutant monster changes.,

She didn't dare to think further

Boom!

The cup was crushed violently, and the glass ballast pierced directly into his palm under Zhu Jue's strong grip, and blood slid down the palm lines.

The tingling sensation made Zhu Jue wake up suddenly from his special state.

The silver-gray pattern on his body dissipated, and his right eye returned to normal.

It's just the right eye!

"Hiss~Whew~"

Just as she was about to inform the few people who were coming here about this special situation, Li Qinglian heard a heavy gasp in Zhu Jue's mouth again.

"Lotus leaf, continue your work, I'm going to go out, don't come to me!"

Zhu Jue knew that Li Qinglian had seen the change he had just made, but he really didn't have the heart to explain it now, so he clutched the fragments tighter, relying on the pain that pierced his heart to keep himself awake for a short time.

The black veil in front of him has not dispersed, and Zhu Jue understands in his heart that this matter is not over yet.

I didn't even care about my slippers, so I walked out barefoot.

"Zhu Jue, you are"

Except for Shao Lan and the others, who were silent because of fright, Wu Tong asked out loud for the first time.

"It's okay, my hand hurts, I'll go and bandage it. ”

Casually answered, without any stop, he left the studio and walked into the elevator next to him.

Watching the elevator doors gradually close, Zhu Jue did not go upstairs, and his eyes fell on the digital buttons that shimmered.

"Ahem~Goo~"

The discomfort in his throat made Zhu Jue bend down and cough violently, but when he looked up again, he lost his mind for a moment, and there was a layer of distorted black shadows around those buttons, and frost seeped into the cracks of the elevator doors.

"Hallucinations, all hallucinations"

Pressing the button leading to the first floor, Zhu Jue closed his eyes, he had not encountered this situation before, after the first complete mutation, his mental state had fallen into a similar trance, and everywhere he could see, everything turned into those disgusting balla slimy things.

He didn't choose to go home, because he was worried that Wu Tong and Li Qinglian would come to him, and he had a vague premonition that this time the outbreak was different from the past, and he had to find a wider place to vent this state.

Shaking his head constantly, silver-gray lines loomed all over Zhu Jue's body.

Lowering his head, thick hairs grew from the back of his hands, and the human hands turned into thick bear paws, and the next second they returned to normal under the constraints of Zhu Jue's strong will.

The spirit was in a trance for a moment, and on the smooth inner wall of the elevator in front of him, the huge bear head was opening its bloody mouth and roaring silently!

"No, I'll go back !!"

Retracting the mutation state, Zhu Jue didn't understand why he would lose control of the power in his body, and he deliberately avoided using the power of that monster in recent times because he didn't want this state to appear again.

I didn't expect that just sleeping like this, and looking at the wind and snow outside the window, my body would actually undergo this kind of abnormality.

35 floors, 30 floors, 20 floors, 5 floors, 1 floor!

Bite~

The elevator opened, and the hall outside the elevator was in front of him, and Zhu Jue's body did not change in any way, but he did not step out for a long time.

He turned sideways, his eyes falling on the corner of the elevator beside him.

There, a half-figure of a giant black bear was sticking out of the wall, fangs and claws at him.

"Yo, long time no see, miss me, but I don't want you"

The glass shard in Zhu Jue's hand fell to the ground and clanged.

Without waiting for the giant bear's response, Zhu Jue turned around and strode out, the silver-gray lines on his face deepened, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

When he arrived at the door, he unexpectedly looked at the swaying body, the cute penguin came to the front through the wind and snow, pointed his mouth and grabbed the corner of his clothes, dragged forward, Zhu Jue couldn't help but smile on his face, and said softly: "I miss you a lot, you mean let me go inside?"

Compared with the last time they met, the penguin nodded humanely, patted his belly, turned around, and disappeared into the wind and snow, Zhu Jue's spirit was inexplicably sober.

He walked out of the building barefoot and into the snowstorm.

Roar!!!

A manic roar came out of the wind and snow in the next second, and the dark golden spiral horns flew directly against a black car parked on the side of the road, stomping on the ground with both claws, and there were immediately several more cracks on the street.

The silver-gray giant bear stood on its legs upright, and its four claws waved in the air, stirring the wind and snow, strange to say, the wind and snow that was still constantly attacking Zhu Jue took the initiative to surround him at this time.

The black giant bear phantom reappeared in front of him, constantly approaching this side, and Zhu Jue's barely remaining consciousness gradually dissipated as it approached

The penguin reappeared in front of Zhu Jue, facing the bear monster, its body seemed to be floating in the air, and the wind and snow were not hostile to it.

Zhu Jue thought that it wanted to fight with this bear monster just like last time.

Who knew that the penguin suddenly turned around and jumped, and slapped Zhu Jue's forehead in a completely mutated state.

Then he lay down on the ground and slid out of the snow-covered street with his belly in the direction of the giant bear phantom.

Zhu Jue knew that it wanted to let himself follow, and without the slightest hesitation, he turned his head and turned into six limbs on the ground, running to keep up with the penguin's pace.

At this time, a few blocks away from Zhu Jue's location, someone was wandering the street.

It was a middle-aged bald man, his face distorted, as if he was in great pain, and his arms were at a strange angle, as if he had been forcibly broken after falling from a height, and the suit on his body was drooping, unable to hide the craggy bones under the clothes.

He just bowed forward, a scarlet glint in his eyes

In the Yecheng Library, August looked at the low temperature warning on the mobile phone screen, and turned his gaze to the notes next to him with a slightly pale face.

It begins with two sentences taken from an ancient book:

The starry sky overhead was obscured by dark clouds, and the giant cloud had the outline of a human figure, and although the clouds were thick, on the top of it, the head of the human form, shone with two bright stars, like two giant eyes. ”

- "The Thing That Walks in the Wind"

"Suddenly there was a cloud of snow on the altar, a constantly changing, shapeless mass of snow—not just a whirlwind mixed with flying snow, though countless snowflakes were now flying up and down around it and the thing gradually disappeared, as if dissolved in the falling snow, until at last the altar was empty. But I couldn't help but shudder: that thing was the snowflakes around me, flying everywhere and everywhere. ”

- Snow Monster

"Itacua, it's him, he's here!"

Hurriedly got up and went straight to the warehouse where the totem poles were stored.

The source of the blizzard is hidden there!
