Chapter 198: Mutation
"Hey, mentor, something happened to Lawrence...... I'm right outside the door right now. ”
I made a phone call and walked towards the villa, and when I reached the door, the door was opened by the robot butler.
"Mr. Grant is waiting for you in the gym on the second floor. ”
The butler bowed and said.
"Gym on the second floor, this time?"
Newcastle, who was full of concerns, was stunned for a moment, and the place of this meeting was a little nonsensical.
He didn't even know when his mentor's home would have a gym...... Exercising in the early hours of the morning, or an old man in his old age?
Newcastle, who only felt absurd, finally went to the second floor under the guidance of the butler.
Push open the door.
He was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him.
The last time we met, the old man who had to walk on crutches, was sitting on a bench at the moment, holding a dumbbell in his hand that he knew was definitely not light, and kept lifting and lowering.
Not even a drop of sweat could be seen on him in the light!
Noticing the sound at the door, and looking sideways, Gran had a very satisfied smile on his face.
With the current scene, it looks extremely weird.
"Mentor, you ......"
At this moment, Newcastle suddenly found that all the words they had prepared before entering the door seemed to have lost their effect.
He couldn't help but be suspicious.
Is the old man in front of him still the person he knows?
"Newcastle, do you see where I am now?"
As if expecting Newcastle to come, Gran kept his workout, looked very excited, and said,
"Your visit at this time means that Lawrence's identity should have been exposed...... That's right, he's a member of the Ouroboros organization, and I deliberately introduced him to you at the epidemic prevention center at the time, and joining the 'scavenger' program is also an agreement we have reached a long time ago. ”
"Why?"
The complex and chaotic thoughts in his mind made Newcastle only ask these three words at the moment.
When Chang~
The dumbbell fell to the ground, and Gran's expression suddenly became a little painful.
Newcastle suddenly noticed that the old man in sportswear was in a completely different state from the one he had seen in the laboratory a few days ago.
The body was lying like a corpse that had been dug up by tomb robbers shortly after it had been placed in the cemetery.
There are still human beings, but they are rotten.
"I knew I was doing something wrong, but I couldn't stand the aging of my body, and they told me that if I cooperated, I could have a young body again, and now I'm halfway there......."
muttered to himself.
"Who are they?"
Interrupting Gran's words, Newcastle looked at his mentor in front of him, who was obviously in an abnormal state, and his hands hanging at his side trembled uncontrollably.
"Lawrence, come with me, with your current position, you can get the same treatment as me...... You're about to turn 50 this year, aren't you, don't you want to be younger? If you can get their approval, eternal life is not impossible......
He still tried to convince Newcastle that the future would be bright as long as the latter promised him.
"Colonel Sako was killed, the head of the Archaeological Society was seriously injured, and the two investigators who accompanied him died on the spot, this is what Lawrence committed, and now the entire Thousand Sails City is under the threat of the Ouroboros organization, and the result of the situation continues to deteriorate is a large number of casualties among the people!"
"I'm one last step away, Lawrence, one last step, you know, I'm only one last step away from reincarnation, they're already preparing for the ceremony, and there are already people in the Thousand Sails City government who have already accepted this kind of ritual, the city is already rotten, it's hovering on the edge of hell, all we can choose is to survive in hell or die in hell!"
The master and apprentice in the gym are facing each other, and the distance between them is less than 3 meters, but what they say is incompatible, and the ideas they want to express are separated by 108,000 miles.
Newcastle stopped the persuasion first, looked at the red-faced and still chattering Gran in front of him, took out his phone, lowered his head to operate, and then turned it towards the latter.
"I will never undergo any form of body modification, because every human body is the best gift God has given us, and it is my heart's desire to grow old with it...... The purpose of epidemic prevention is to allow every citizen of Qianfan City to be free from the disease and have enough time to experience this gift...... Yes, all the actions of the epidemic prevention center are to ensure the safety of the citizens of Thousand Sails City as the first criterion!"
A video was playing on the screen, and an energetic old man stood on the stage, calmly describing the concept of the epidemic prevention center, and behind him was a projection of the future planning of the epidemic prevention center.
Moment.
Gran stopped talking.
The words in my throat that were quite smooth a second ago are now like fishbones stuck in them, looking at the video in front of me, trying to spit it out, how difficult it is!
Suddenly, he collapsed in his seat, and the expression on his face changed several times.
The changes in his body bring about the distortion of his thoughts, and this past video awakens the reason that is still preserved in Grant's heart.
"Am I wrong...... It wasn't until the day I realized that I was starting to decay that I realized that I was a person who was afraid of death, just for the sake of face..... Ha, just when I was an old fellow who didn't want to eat back what I said, I rejected prosthetic modification, and at this time, Lawrence brought me a new choice, at first I just took the medicine he provided with the mentality of giving it a try, who would have thought that it would affect my mind so much, I began to become ...... Forget it, no amount of talk is just an excuse now. ”
Frankly admitting his mistake, this time it was no longer the prevarication when he first spoke, Gran seemed to have regained his previous state, and his waist gradually straightened.
"Mentor, there is still a chance to remedy, the garrison department is now desperate to know about the Ouroboros organization, as long as you are willing to cooperate, everything is still in time!"
Seeing that the mentor seemed to have returned to normal, Newcastle stepped forward with some joy and spoke.
This is the last chance in his opinion.
"Lawrence is not from the Ouroboros, and the few times I met with him, the guy looked down on him...... Grunt...... Hmm~"
Grout looked at Newcastle and was about to speak after a moment's thought, but in the middle of his sentence he saw a frightened look on the latter's face, and then he found that the words that had come to his lips were stuck again.
It's just that it was psychological before, but now it's physically not allowed!
In Newcastle's view, dark lines appeared on Grant's thin body, and in the blink of an eye, a few pustules appeared at the corners of his mouth, and then the mutation began in an irreversible state......
"Mentor!man, come and help, you must stop him from mutating!"
Frightened, Newcastle did not forget to call out to Virginia to arrange for someone to follow him, and at the same time, the angry roar of Bulvo could be heard from the headphones he was wearing.
Although I don't understand why Glenn suddenly changed suddenly, he can be said to be a key witness now, and he has very important clues, how can he die here so easily!
Boom~
The door to the gym was kicked open, and two investigators in the uniforms of the Archaeological Society rushed in.
just rushed to the front of Gran, who was in a state of mutation, but stopped suddenly.
It's not hard to get them to kill this mutant monster, but let him be restored...... If you can do it, why is there so much trouble?
Just when the two senior investigators were at a loss, a large number of garrison soldiers poured in from all sides of the villa after receiving Bulvo's orders, but what if there were more people rushing in at this time?
It's just that the black-robed man who watched the farce in this villa in the Gadamon fantasy realm wanted to laugh even more!
Just as he was about to raise his hand to completely destroy the inhumanoid soul that appeared in the illusion of Gadamon in front of him, he withdrew his hand after a little thought.
He decided to let these people from the Thousand Sails City government watch a drama as well.
So he flipped his palm and released the shackles on Grand's soul.
At this time, the surrounding soldiers and senior investigators had to give up the idea of forcibly encircling it on the spot because of the orders of Bulwer and Virginia to capture it alive.
In the next second, taking advantage of the soldiers' dilemma, the mutant monster seemed to be thinking about something, as if attracted by something, and crossed the surrounding crowd and desperately wanted to rush out of the villa.
