Chapter 6: Mutations
In front of the mirror, Zhou Li looked at himself in the mirror sluggishly, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice:
"I'll ...... This is just a spin in the meat grinder, right? ”
As the coat was taken off, the blood-stained shirt was finally revealed in the mirror.
The original pure white shirt had been smeared with a large area of scarlet, as if it had been infected with red ink.
The blood dries up and turns a strange hue between crimson and black, and at the edges it turns a yellowish tinge with disgusting brown.
A strong smell of blood finally came out.
Not to mention that Zhou Li is intact and standing here with no missing parts on his body, this look, it is said that the victims of the murder scene are all believed.
It felt like it was about to be smashed!
Looking blankly at himself in the mirror with half of his body stained red with blood, Zhou Li finally reacted and swallowed his saliva very dryly.
He was suddenly very frightened, under his shirt, he had actually been disemboweled, and he was unrecognizable.
I don't know how long it took, the hesitant Zhou Li gritted his teeth, tore off his shirt, and the shirt with dry blood was torn off, and Zhou Li's upper body was finally revealed.
Large bruise-purple swelling covered his upper body, and traces of dried blood showed a strange crimson on the surface of his skin.
And under the cover of such a tragic situation, even Zhou Li couldn't believe that he was intact?
Suddenly, Zhou Li noticed the strange color of his heart under the cover of blood stains.
Approaching the mirror, Zhou Li carefully looked at his heart, the faint silver white that emerged from the cover of blood and bruises.
Under the rubbing of his palms, the dried blood stains quickly peeled off, regardless of the bruises and pain, Zhou Li grinned and looked at the strange traces that slowly appeared in his heart.
It was a simple and mysterious strange symbol, vaguely familiar, but at this moment it was imprinted in Zhou Li's heart, like a budding seed, spreading a trace of subtle veins to the surroundings.
As the heart beats, the strange character pulses like an illusion, which is unbelievable.
Zhou Li has never tattooed himself, and he is not interested in adding any strange patterns to his body.
So...... What's going on with this thing in my heart?
Suddenly, he looked back at the pitch-black string and the fine powder on his bedside table, and the character in his heart turned out to be the same as the symbol on the pendant that Lu Xiaoshui had worn for many years...... Same!
He stared blankly at himself in the mirror, suddenly lost all strength, and sat back on the bed.
Memories within a few hours, constantly replaying in the mind, constantly recalling.
Until the end, there was only one memory left that he could not even be sure of its authenticity.
The container truck sped as it spied, his body flying, the stagnant time, the auditory quizzes, and the miracle that followed.
"What the hell is this...... What's going on? ”
He stared blankly at his hands and muttered under his breath.
Inexplicably, he seemed to have touched a switch hidden in his body, and in an instant, the mournful sound of the violin in his memory sounded again.
It seems that the never-ending sound of the piano hovers in the head, turning into a passionate melody of 'one step away'.
In Zhou Li's pupils, the dim cyan light came up again, covered with a circle of swirling rainbow light, spreading ripples.
Zhou Li's world once again fell into that strange state.
Time suddenly breaks into countless fragments, and the world breaks back into frame after frame of stop-motion film.
The distance between the outside world and oneself suddenly lengthened, and everything seemed to be moving away.
Only one's own existence is clear and true at the moment.
The feeling of the muscles fluttering, the beating of the heart, the speed of the blood flowing, and even the cheers that emanate from every cell.
They converged into a low rhythm that rang in their ears like the heartbeat of a dragon.
The incredible spectacle lasted only a few seconds before it came to an abrupt end, and the melody of 'One Step Away' came to an abrupt halt and turned into a shattered note.
Zhou Li, who came out of that strange state, was dark, and he almost fainted.
At this moment, he was like a marathon runner who had been running for six hours in a row, and the pain seemed to be burning, and his blood was about to boil.
Forcibly entering this state in this state of almost running out of oil and lamps, once again forcing him into the border of shock.
Falling weakly on the bed, he rolled his body over with difficulty, spread out on the bed, and fell into the deepest sleep.
At the last moment when he closed his eyes, a strange thought suddenly appeared in Zhou Li's empty chaotic thoughts.
Is this the new life?
……
Just when Zhou Li fell into a deep sleep, the story in the dark night did not end, but continued to unfold slowly.
In the early hours of the morning, muffled footsteps sounded on the snow-covered road.
The figure that crept up stood in the snow, like darkness that could not be dissipated,
On the cheeks, which were emaciated to the point of dry bones, two inhuman gazes were as sharp as blades, scanning the darkness.
Stepping on the messy snow, silently sneaking, his footsteps left two lines of shallow marks in the snow.
As if searching for something, he searched like a net, until he came to an abrupt halt when he came to the wreckage of two clumps of bicycles.
As if he had finally found some precious treasure, he sniffed the remaining breath in the air and smiled: "This is it!" ”
Ecstatic to turn over the snow, he frantically searched for any remaining traces, but found nothing.
It wasn't until all the snow within a radius of a few tens of meters had been turned over that he stopped his futile search.
Looking around at the darkness around him, a hungry and angry murmur came out of his throat: "Where are the trees? What about the tree......"
World Tree ...... Where is it?!
At this moment, in this thick and indissolvable darkness, the sound of thunder suddenly exploded.
The black shadow's complexion changed suddenly, his figure flashed, and he quickly retreated back more than ten meters.
Then, in the next moment, the ground he had just stood on shattered as if it had been blasted by explosives, and a terrible crack spread from the asphalt road to his feet.
At that moment, it was as if it had been hit by dozens of overlapping impacts of a pile driver, and even the bank's vault was about to appear in a terrifying depression under this blow.
And the effect is only caused by a palm covered with hideous tattoos.
Under the dim moonlight, the sudden burly figure slowly pulled out his palm from the deep pavement, straightened his waist, and smiled at the dark shadow not far away.
The emaciated black shadow made a hoarse voice: "Apocalypse Armament - Breaking the Iron Cone?!" ”
"Do you know this? Very good. Not far away, the burly figure smiled even more happily: "Then you must know who I am?" ”
On the pale snow, the pitch-black shadow suddenly let out a hoarse laugh like a night owl: "Of course you know, you are Yao Huche, Yao Huche of the 'Foundation', Yao Huche who inherited the name of 'Huche'." ”
"You know it in detail."
Yao Huche's burly body slowly pushed forward like a rock in the dark night: "In the name of the 'Foundation', I am acting on behalf of the 'Capable Autonomy Treaty', Article 6, Article 11, to arrest you. But I want you to resist as much as you can. ”
After a pause, he no longer concealed the killing intent in his heart: "If that's the case...... You can legally die! ”
Before the words fell, the sound of the air exploding sounded, and Yao Huche was like a rock rolling down from the top of the mountain, advancing rapidly with an unstoppable attitude.
Like a chariot crushing over the earth, he left deep footprints on the crumbling road.
However, his weight suddenly increased hundreds of times in that instant, and reaching the third stage of 'Strength Enhancement' made him carry this incredible weight, turning this heaviness into an attack that made all enemies fearful!
That's the effect of the Apocalypse Armament - Breaking the Iron Cone!
As if an invisible and huge iron cone appeared in his hand, Yao Huche roared angrily and released all his power towards the black shadow.
In the snap of his fingers, a terrifying loud bang erupted again, and the earth shattered, but the black shadow flashed in the last moment, a blow that was enough to crush his bones.
Then, the aftermath of an explosion swept through, causing his lungs to vibrate violently, spitting out scarlet blood.
And at the moment when the two of them staggered, a sharp blade poked out from the black shadow's palm.
The cold light flashed away, and a thirty-centimeter-long scar was cut on Yao Huche's right arm.
The incomparably swift knife cut **, and it wasn't until three seconds later that Yao Huche's wound exploded, and blood gushed out.
"Damn, his abilities aren't hidden!"
A snake's voice sounded in his ears: "At least the second stage of 'speed enhancement'!" ”
Yao Huche took a step back and muttered in a low voice: "Now there's a use for!" ”
Above his arm, the almost inhuman muscles squirmed, forcibly closing the wound, but the intense pain kept repeating, as if the knife was not drawn, but was constantly cutting his own arm!
In an instant, Yao Huche's brows furrowed, not because of pain, but because of the discovery at that moment.
In the darkness, he squinted at the dark shadows on the snow, and asked in a deep voice:
"Who the hell are you?"
