Chapter 1958: Caught in the Lake (27)
Chapter 1958 - Caught in Huguang (27)
Late at night, in a luxury suite on the top floor of the Grand Hotel in Cairo.
"Uhhh
He suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a gray-white shadow riding on top of him in the dark, with a blood-red fierce light in his eyes, and strangled the cat-man boy's throat with both hands.
"Uh-huh......" The power was so great that Mutter felt only a fatal suffocation. If it weren't for the cat-man boy's special "rubber man" physique, Mutter's throat would have actually been pinched off by this excessively huge choke at this moment, and even the cervical vertebrae would have been broken!
However, now he is not much better than breaking his throat and breaking his cervical vertebrae. His throat was so tightly choked by the other party that he couldn't breathe at all. His body began to be paralyzed, his head began to become congested, and he felt that his head was about to become a balloon that had been burst! If he continued like this, even if he did not die of lack of oxygen, he would definitely die of cerebral congestion first!
(It's painful!)
(Save me......!)
(Stupid Tiger ......?)
He thought he was under attack at this moment, and when he turned his head in despair to ask Albert who was sleeping next to him for help, he suddenly found that Albert was not there at all.
No, the stupid tiger didn't move from where he was sleeping.
He just...... It has become the violent shadow of the cat man boy in front of Muter's eyes!
The figure who is strangling Mutter's throat with both hands, and the figure who wants to kill the cat-man boy is Albert!
The tiger is going berserk!
(I see.) )
In that instant, Mutter understood everything completely.
(So, sure enough, it was still a step too late.) )
(Have they already injected you with that potion?)
If it's true, then it's already too late to go back.
(I'm sorry...... )
(It's all my fault...... )
Tears of remorse flowed from the corners of the cat-man boy's eyes. In front of him, a frenzied Albert was grabbing him by the neck with both hands, trying to kill Mutt. However, the cat-man boy at this moment did not struggle. His blood-filled purple-black face was as calm as water, and in the last moments of his life, he looked at the tiger in front of him with affection.
With the last bit of strength he had left, he raised his hand and brushed it towards Albert's face.
His vision gradually blurred, the darkness caused by the lack of oxygen, and the blurring of tears pouring from the corners of his eyes caused by the sharp pain.
However, this did not affect him from looking at him.
Mutt's kitten paw landed gently on Albert's face, not a blow, but a gentle sooth.
(Goodbye.) )
(That's fine.) )
(I have no regrets about dying at your hands.) )
He couldn't speak, he could only hide everything in his heart, and transform all the emotions he wanted to express into this gentle touch.
This was his final farewell to Albert.
Mutt's vision began to shrink, replaced by darkness. He was about to go into shock from suffocation.
However, at this moment, Albert suddenly trembled.
I don't know why, the tiger man youth suddenly recovered from his rage.
"Mutt ......?" he felt the cat-man boy's hand slip across his cheek, and the gentle soothing moment turned into a feeble fall. Startled, Albert let go of his hands that were holding the cat-man boy's throat.
He had expected to let go of the hands that were holding the other man's throat, so that he could immediately hear the other person's cough and see the cat boy breathe again. However, nothing like this happened. Mutt's face was still purple, and his breathing stopped.
Worst. Isn't it really dead?
Albert frowned. At this time, the only emergency he could think of was------
I don't know how long it took, but the cat man boy suddenly rushed into shock and regained consciousness.
"Woo cough!" Along with the return of consciousness and breathing, there was a strong cough from Mutt.
"Uh, ha, ha...... He covered his neck, which had two more severe bruises, which hurt when he touched it lightly. Although the cat man boy has a special rubber physique, which allowed him to survive the throat and spine break in the other party's violent grasping, he is always immune to some injuries.
"Uh-huh...... It was a long time before he could catch his breath, and he felt a strange coldness on his face.
"Didn't you just ...... As soon as Mutter was able to start talking, he asked in a low voice.
"I'll leave it at that. Albert said a word, and began to ask earnestly, "Are you alright? Not dead yet?
"Not dead. The cat-man boy replied coldly, "It's you, stupid tiger, how did you come to your senses?"
"What does it mean to come to your senses?" Albert was confused, "I don't even know what I just did." Suddenly groggy, the body moved on its own. Then I felt you touch my face with your hand. So I woke up from that groggy sleepwalking state. "
Mutter was silent for a moment before replying, "You're not sleepwalking. "
"What's that?"
"They must have injected you [with that drug] after they took you. "
"That kind of ...... Medicine?"
"A medicine that destroys [free will] in your body. The cat boy rubbed his neck and whispered, "Once you are injected with that kind of thing, you will never come back." You will become their puppets, toys, at their mercy, at their mercy*, and even do unseemly things for them. Even if you know very well that you can't do that, that you can't listen to them, your body is no longer your body, and it won't listen to you anymore. "
Albert only felt a chill down his spine.
Mutt leaned over and put his arm around Albert and buried his head in the tiger's chest: "But that's great. That medicine didn't work, you still you. Their freewill-destroying medicine is still a half-finished product, and Daddy Sphinx knew early on that things were going to turn out like this, so he had a preventive medicine for you. It's great that their medications don't work, and the preventive ones do. "
Albert suddenly remembered something: "The preventive medicine you are talking about, could it be the same unpleasant protein drink that I drank before......?"
"That's it. "
"So what the hell is that? I always find it hard to swallow, and I even have a fishy smell...... Albert became more and more suspicious.
"That's ...... Uh, people who already have antibodies to [freewill breakers], protein peptides in the body...... Something that separates out. Something like a serum. Mutter said hesitantly, "Anyway, it works, you don't have to go into too much detail." "
"Hmm------" Albert snorted suspiciously.
Then Mutt suddenly pushed the tiger away again, and scrambled out of bed himself: "I need to go take a bath." "
"What?" From the nervous behavior of the cat man, Albert suddenly understood something, and he felt funny: "You kid was about to suffocate to death just now, but he was so excited that he got wet?"
"It's because I'm about to suffocate that I become like this. The cat-man boy said with a red face, leaning weakly against the wall and slowly moving in the direction of the bathroom.
It sounds like that's true. Albert had heard similar rumors that when a person (especially a man) hanged himself, he would cause a physiological reaction due to rapid congestion throughout his body. Mutter was choked to the point of shock just now, and it was already a near-death experience, so it is not surprising that there will be a physiological reaction similar to hanging congestion.
"Oh. Albert stopped laughing. Just now, Mutt estimated that it was the stickiness of a pair of pants, and he reluctantly said so much to the tiger man. When he noticed the changes in his body, he ran away so embarrassed------ even though he had been so weak from oxygen that he couldn't stand steadily.
Plop! Albert could hear the sound of the cat-man boy falling to the ground from the bathroom.
"Are you alright?" Albert cried.
"It's okay, it's okay! I can handle it...... Mutter responded weakly.
How could it be okay. That kid was just trying to be strong.
Albert struggled to get out of bed. After a little sleep, he regained some strength------ at least the strength he had when he went crazy just now was strong enough to strangle the cat-man boy.
He climbed to the window and sat down, rubbing his chest and abdomen, which was in a mess and aching inside, and hesitated to go to the bathroom to see how Mutter was doing. The cat man boy was in shock due to severe cerebral hypoxia just now, and now he forcibly climbed out of bed and ran to take a bath, and the worst case may be that he has cerebral congestion and shock again, and finally drowns in the bathtub. God knows.
Albert thought it would be better not to take such a risk, and he got out of bed, swallowed the aches and tingles all over his body, and slowly moved to the bathroom.
At least he's an immortal body, and even if he does, he won't die.
"Huh?!" The cat-man boy who finally took off his dirty pants and was applying shower gel to himself couldn't help but be startled when he saw the tiger pushing the door in: "What are you doing here? Don't you see me taking a bath here?!
"I just didn't feel at ease, so I came over and had a look. Albert said, shamelessly undressing himself. He ignored the objections of the cat-man boy, and walked straight to the bath himself, not even bothering to untie the dense bandages on his body, and jumped into the bath where a pool of hot water had just been placed.
"You must be kidding me...... The cat-man boy complained as he tried his best to cover his lower body.
"Uh-huh...... The tiger soaked in the hot water felt that his whole body was suddenly much lighter, at least the pain in his body was relieved: "What a bliss, bliss." Why don't you come and take a meow?"
"I jumped in without washing my body...... Mutter grumbled as he flushed the foam off his body with a faucet.
"Anyway, people are dirty, and they can never be completely cleaned. Albert said something philosophical.
The cat man boy did not answer, hurriedly wrapped his lower body with a towel to cover his shame, and jumped into the pool.
