Chapter 419: Two Days
Tang Juyi looked at Ryan with a suspicious gaze, as if waiting for the other party to suddenly say with a hippie smile, "It's a joke!" Or something like that, but there was no hint of deception in Ryan's eyes.
Finally, Tang Juyi gradually realized that Ryan was not joking, so his face also changed:
"Let's sort things out...... You took me to this dungeon and tried to convince me of this pool ...... This slime-studded, bloated, and potentially corrosive phlegm on his face at any time is the former head of the Phil family, Adam Phil? β
Ryan stared at "Adam" in the pool with an ugly expression:
"We don't want to believe it. We would rather hear the news that the head of the house has been eaten by a sea monster than that the head of the house has become a sea monster...... However, Mr. Adam gradually became such a monster under our noses, and we watched his body gradually change and eventually become like this. β
Tang Juyi had a bad association, and the pictures all came from some heavy-duty movies he had watched in the past, such as "The Centipede", "The Beautiful Big Fish in the Sewer" and so on:
"Oh, that sounds like an unpleasant experience...... If you don't mind, can you elaborate on what happened during the two days I was away? β
Ryan's gaze withdrew from "Adam" and looked at Tang Juyi:
"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you - all that slate brings to the tablet."
Turning around, Ryan no longer looked at Adam in the pool, but walked to the other cells in the corridor behind him:
"In the beginning, Mr. Adam's voice could always be heard in his room, as if he were communicating with someone. We thought he was talking to his servant, but we became aware of the anomaly - it was all talking to himself, not his usual chat. β
"We didn't dare to disturb Mr. Adam's rest at will, so we could only communicate by knocking on the door and handing in the letterhead, but we never received a reply. Through that door, we could hear the voice of the head of the house, but he ignored our calls. β
Stopping in front of the door of a cell, Ryan stretched out his hand and pointed to the dark corner of it, motioning for Tang Juyi to look over:
"That person you should know - he is the most powerful assistant of the head of the family in the past, and he is also the person who has the best relationship with the head of the family in the high-level."
Tang Juyi looked through the window of the iron prison door, and saw a person curled up in the corner, turning his back to avoid the faint light outside, his breathing was heavy, and he could hear some obviously abnormal sounds.
Not only that, but the man's body was unusually swollen all over his body, the shape of his limbs had become strange, and his bone structure had changed considerably, and judging from the exposed skin, he seemed to have some kind of extensive skin disease, which caused his body surface to have a texture and luster that should not exist.
Tang Juyi stared at it for a moment, and finally recognized who this person wasβthe old man who had checked whether his mission had been completed when he first came back from Nancheng District.
"What's wrong with him? Is it also a similar mutation in the body? β
Tang Juyi saw some doorways, so he asked about Ryan beside him.
Ryan nodded:
"Mr. Mohan hadn't been in contact with the tablet for long, so his degree of change was the lowest of the few. So far, he has only had symptoms such as mental mania, skin alienation, and visceral bone hyperplasia, which can be said to be very lucky. β
Tang Juyi repeated Lane's words:
"You say 'just'? If that's all lucky, what has become of the others? β
Lane did not answer directly, but went on to describe Adam Phil's situation:
"Let's move on to the matter of the head of the house...... After not being able to get in touch with the head of the house, they were still hesitant, but it didn't take long for them to smell the smell of blood oozing from the room, so they forcibly opened the bedroom door and broke in. What he saw, however, was the servant's corpse, a corpse that had been torn apart beyond recognition. β
Tang Juyi said "uh":
"Mr. Adam killed his servant?"
Ryan corrected Tang Juyi's words:
"He ate the servant. At this time, the head of the family, his body has begun to become deformed, and the bones of his face have also shown obvious structural abnormalities, and the fangs in his mouth have grown out densely, looking like a living monster. If they weren't still wearing that suit, they would have shot him in the first place. β
At this time, Tang Juyi finally interrupted Ryan's words:
"Wait a minute, is it 'you' or 'them'? What is your role in this event? β
Ryan knew that his narrative was a little messy, and he also explained it:
"I wasn't there at the time, because I wouldn't have had the opportunity to communicate with the head of the family if there wasn't an anomaly, so it was the high-ups of the Phil family who first noticed the problem. It wasn't until they discovered that Mr. Adam had become a monster that they decided to leave it to me. β
Tang Juyi pouted:
"That's right, storytelling also requires attention to detail."
Ryan choked on this, but still didn't say anything, just continued:
"Sorry...... Back to the point, after temporarily imprisoning the head of the house, the stone slabs left in the room were of course put away by the other higher-ups. They probably knew that this matter would be related to this slate, so they asked a lot of people to study it together to see if there could be any countermeasures...... It didn't take long for these people to go crazy without exception, either muttering words that no one could understand, or shouting frantically. β
Tang Juyi felt ridiculous:
"Research? Haven't these people yet realized the seriousness of the problem? Can turn a weakened patient into a man-eating monster in a day or two, something they are qualified to study? β
It sounds like Ryan doesn't think well of those people either:
"You know, people who are used to sitting in high positions usually don't see danger in their eyes, and often think that the problem is as simple as their stupid head thinks, and that making decisions is just a matter of mouth......"
Tang Juyi raised his hand and motioned for Ryan to continue narrating:
"Without saying that, I just want to know why this is happening at the top of the Phil family? Didn't you say they found someone to do the research? I don't think these people would be stupid enough to take part in such a dangerous operation themselves. β
A haze appeared on Ryan's face:
In fact, this is the case at the top of the vast majority of the hierarchy...... The scope of action of that stone slab is much larger than we thought, as long as the people who live in that house have already been affected, but the head of the house is the closest, so the outbreak is the fastest......"
Tang Juyi was also shocked when he heard this:
"It's only been more than two days......"
Ryan let out a long sigh:
"No one could have imagined that things would turn out like this...... We've temporarily moved the slab to the south of town to prevent it from affecting the people of the manor again. I've been waiting for you to come back because I think you should have some idea about it - after all, you brought it back. β
