On the night of the pouring rain, Tang Tu stood alone on the street, wearing the initial equipment given by the system, and the soup chicken was not enough to describe his miserable state at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info somatosensory value has dropped to -30, the satiety level has dropped to 40, and the two negative states of "cold" and "hungry" appear on the top of the head.

Looking around, next to the dim street lamp, a grocery store loomed in the rain and fog, and Tang Tu hurriedly ran over.

There were no customers in the grocery store, only a middle-aged man standing behind the counter with the green word "salesman" on his head. Seeing Tang Tu come in, the salesman just glanced at him lazily, and didn't seem to want to deal with him.

Tang Tu knocked on the counter, "Poncho and bread." ”

The salesman raised his eyelids and looked at Tang Tu, and said the line in a robot-like cold tone mechanically, "Limited time promotion, buy two baguettes at one time and get a bottle of distilled water." ”

Tang Tu frowned and was silent for a moment, "A poncho, two French long sticks." ”

The salesman waved his hand on the table, and a pile of things appeared on the counter out of thin air, "A poncho, two baguettes, a bottle of distilled water, a total of two gold coins." ”

Such a thing costs two gold coins, Tang Tu feels a little uneconomical, but there is no other way, the system in the game is the boss, and the player can only obey the system settings.

Tang Tu opened the water and drank two sips, picked up a baguette, leaned on the counter next to him and ate it, looking around while eating, and the salesman returned to his indifferent expression, as if Tang Tu did not exist.

This is the system grocery store, which appears for the first time in the mission, and what side functions are there besides selling goods?

If you have the heart, you can find miracles.

In one corner of the grocery store was a straw basket with several newspapers and a very small note that read: Free to read, but not taken out of the store.

Tang Tu picked up the newspaper and flipped through it. To learn about a new place, start with the local newspaper.

The system suddenly released the grocery store, and sure enough, it was not for nothing.

Among these newspapers, one is Inglestad's school newspaper, Inglestad is the university where Victor studied, and Tang Tu also found Victor's name on it. Victor has published several papers on some chemical instruments, and several professors have given very high praise to the following papers.

Tang Tu read these papers carefully.

In these papers, Victor does not explicitly mention the words "the origin of life", but between the lines reveals his curiosity. In the original novel, Victor's change in research direction occurred two years after he entered the university, when these papers were published.

At this time, Victor's self-confidence swelled, believing that there was no one in the school who could teach him, and went down the path of studying the "mystery of death" on his own.

Sure enough, the game system is all black, even if Tang Tu changed the plot and followed Victor to the university in advance, the plot still jumped directly backwards, and did not leave Tang Tu a chance to change Victor.

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap outside the window, and the glass of the store shook to the ground. Tang Tu was startled, and subconsciously looked outside, a lightning bolt was crossing the sky, illuminating the street scene outside.

Tang Tu suddenly felt a sudden feeling in his heart, and a bad premonition appeared, and he hurriedly rummaged through several newspapers and compared them side by side.

Looking closely at the details, the Inglestad school newspaper is slightly yellowed compared with the others, and it is obviously not the latest publication, and from the comparison of the printing dates of several newspapers, the school newspaper is almost two years different from the latest morning newspaper.

In other words, it has been at least two years since the publication of the school newspaper, that is, at least nearly two years have passed since Victor became interested in the "origin of life".

Two years later, two years later, almost four years after the last scene.

Tang Tu took a breath and suppressed the inexplicable restlessness in his heart.

A long stick is eaten, half a bottle of water is left, the body sensation value is back to zero, the satiety level rises to 100, and the negative status is lifted.

Without wasting any more time, putting on the poncho, stuffing half a bottle of water and another long stick into the poncho and holding it, Tang Tu came out of the grocery store and walked in the direction of Inglestad.

Why did Tang Tu know where Inglestad was?

Just now there was a newspaper printed with the latest version of the city's traffic map, which not only marked the location of Inglestad, but also the location of the grocery store, and the route was clear and clear, the only regret was not to carry it with me.

On the restless night, the rain poured down, and the raindrops frantically hit the windows of the houses on both sides of the street, crackling like bullets.

Not far away, the white spire of the University Church in Inglestad looms in the rain and mist, and the pointer on the tower points to six o'clock, however, the sky is cloudy and the rain is pouring down, obscuring the arrival of dawn, as if the curtain of night is still extending.

Suddenly, a strange song wafted from ahead...

"On a secluded street

A person is full of fear and walks in a panic

He looked around and moved on

And then I didn't dare to look back

Because he knows

A terrible devil

Just like a shadow..."

Coleridge's "Song of the Old Mariner", in which the chimes can be faintly heard.

Tang Tu stopped.

Not far away, a figure appeared, it was a janitor, carrying a bunch of keys in his hand, opening the gate of the courtyard, behind which was the student dormitory building of Inglestad University.

The courtyard door opened, the janitor disappeared into the heavy rain, and a figure rushed out of the courtyard in a panic. The man walked in a hurry, looking panicked, as if there was a devil chasing him behind him.

"Victor. Frankenstein," Tang Tu shouted at the man. Yes, this lost man is none other than Victor, the protagonist of the mission.

Seeing Tang Tu, Victor ran over excitedly to hold his hands, his breathing was rapid, but he soon calmed down, it seemed that Tang Tu was his lifeline.

Tang Tu pretended not to notice Victor's abnormality, "Dear friend, look what I brought here," Tang Tu opened a gap in the poncho, revealing the brown paper bag and the baguette in the paper bag, "On such a cold morning, you must not have eaten breakfast yet, would you like to share this delicious baguette with me?" ”

Victor was very pleased, "Oh my friend, of course I do. ”

Tang Tu and Victor walked towards the dormitory building together, and in order to ease Victor's emotions, Tang Tu mentioned his relatives in his hometown.

"I heard that my uncle and Elizabeth wrote to you again, and you forgot to reply to them, and you really are, even if you are busy, remember to write to your family, they are worried about you, Elizabeth has complained to me more than once..."

Hearing the name of his relatives, Victor's expression became a little more serene and serene, and when he talked about missing his relatives, it seemed that he had returned to the innocent time many years ago.

Coming to the staircase of the dormitory, Victor strongly asked Tang Tu to wait, and he went back upstairs alone.

Tang Tu knew why Victor was like this, and on this night, Victor successfully activated his experiment, and he created a new species of life.

However, the work, which he had once treated as a child, was disgusted and disgusted by its ugliness, and the moment he opened his eyes, Victor saw a monster in his eyes.

Fear outweighs the joy of success, and Victor regrets it, and even disgusts himself for creating the monster, so he retreats, abandons the monster and runs away.

Tang Tu can imagine the scene upstairs: Victor gasped for breath and was about to twist the door open, but his hand touched the door and immediately retracted, goosebumps all over his body, and finally mustered up the courage to open the door suddenly, like a child afraid that there would be monsters hiding behind the door...

However, Tang Tu didn't want to waste too much time on Victor, and he had his own ideas about saving Victor or a monster or both.

At this moment, it is the beginning of the birth of the "monster", he is as simple as a newborn child, and it is more important to establish the correct three views for him than to comfort Victor.

According to the original plot, the "monster" should have just left Victor's apartment by now and is on his way to the woods near the city of Inglestad.

Sharing a baguette with Victor and drinking some hot water by the way, Tang Tu is ready to take his leave, but there is one more thing to do before leaving.

"Victor, you look more haggard than last time, you can't go on like this, look at your cheeks, I really don't want to describe you as skinny, my friend, your face is flushed, is it sick?"

"When you say that, I do feel a little uncomfortable..."Before the words fell, Victor fell to the ground with a "bang" and fainted.

A negative status icon appeared above Victor's head, with the note "Neuropathic fever: fever caused by physical and mental exhaustion, inability to move independently, and stage consciousness".

Tang Tu moved Victor to the bed, and it seemed that he would not wake up for a while.

Finding a pen and paper on the desk next to him, Tang Tu wrote a letter informing the Frankenstein family of Victor's illness and asking them to send their maid Justin to take care of Victor.

Yes, after entering this scene, Yang Yang's name has always been gray, and the display is not on the same map.

After writing the envelope, Tang Tu went downstairs to find the administrator to send the letter, and then went to the woods on the outskirts of the city.

Dark clouds and heavy rain shrouded the night.

Not far from the school, Tang Tu's figure was hidden by the rain curtain, and it seemed that it was just a moment, and the scene in front of him changed. This time the change is just a location switch, there is no timeline jump, and there is no white light from before.

The rain became lighter, and it was a little annoying, and the sky gradually glowed white, and the sun seemed to be about to come out.

Tang Tu walked in the woods, listening intently, the sound of gurgling water sounded, and walked in the direction from which the sound came, occasionally seeing footprints and trampled flowers and plants along the way, as well as scattered berries on the ground.

At last I came to the stream, and after walking a short distance along the stream, I saw a large lump of shadows lying beside a large rock.

It was the "monster", a creature cobbled together from the organs and tissues of a corpse, a new species that terrified and disgusted all those who created it.

He curled up there, Tang Tu couldn't see his appearance, but he only visually saw that his size was huge, exceeding the size of a normal adult.

He was shivering, very visibly with his bulky head, and he was in a mess with a few pieces of clothing that he should have taken from Victor's dormitory, which had been soaked in the rain because there was no poncho to cover him.

He was sobbing unconsciously, not knowing if he was having a nightmare, after all, he was abandoned when he first came to this world, and while Victor was afraid of him, he was also afraid of this strange world.

No matter how his body came about, no matter why he was born in this world, he has not yet caused damage to this world when he was born, and even if he is clothed in the shell of a demon, his soul does not belong to the devil, better than those demons in human skin.

Tang Tu took out a poncho from his arms, which he had taken from Victor's room, walked a few steps towards the "monster", stopped and hesitated, exhaled the energy card collection book, took out the "shield" card in it and held it in the other hand.

The attack power of the "monster" is terrifying, in the original novel, he easily killed several people with his bare hands. Clayval also died at his hands, so it was still necessary to prevent him from breaking out and hurting people.

The "monster" slept restlessly, and before Tang Tu could touch him, he woke up and raised his head vigilantly.

Tang Tu saw his face.

The musculature and blood vessels under the waxy yellow skin are faintly visible, the hair is black and shiny and smooth, the teeth are as white as pearls, but they look extremely terrifying against the background of the blistered eyes, the miserable white eye sockets are swollen, the facial skin is atrophied, and the thin lips are black and straight, like a crude crayon on the face twice.

It's uglier than expected, it's disgusting, but for Tang Tu, it's not unacceptable.

In modern artistic creation, especially in some thriller and horror movies, there are many ugly characters, and there are also images that are more unacceptable than "monsters", and Tang Tu has long been psychologically prepared.

Tang Tu didn't speak, just smiled at the "monster" and raised the poncho in his hand.

The "monster" showed confusion in his eyes, Tang Tu pointed to the poncho on his body, and made a cold shivering appearance, and then put the poncho on the stone next to him, signaling the "monster" to take it himself.

The "monster" thought for a while and seemed to understand what Tang Tu meant, but his expression was still vigilant.

Tang Tu encouraged the "monster" with his eyes, and finally the "monster" stretched out his hand, picked up the poncho and wrapped it around his body indiscriminately.

Tang Tu opened his poncho and put it on again, moving very slowly, patiently demonstrating to the "monster".

After tossing and turning for a while, "Monster" finally put on a poncho and learned a new skill in dressing, much to his delight.

The vigilance in the eyes of the "monster" was gone, and he patted the poncho on his body vigorously, and simply looked at Tang Tu and laughed.

To be honest, his smile was even uglier, and his facial muscles were uncoordinated, causing his expression to be distorted in his eyes, which was a patchwork fake face after all.

Tang Tu felt that this was probably the ugliest but most innocent smile he had ever seen.

At this moment, the white light of the scene switch appeared...
