Chapter 48: The Tyrant

"It seems that time has told you about your background......"

Konstantin sighed, sat on a mahogany chair, flipped his palm, and slapped it on the armrest, and then, a shaking suddenly came from the ground in the originally peaceful room, but it was fleeting, and after a few seconds, the bookshelves in the room moved regularly, revealing a huge stone door.

"After so many years of keeping a secret, I can finally tell it today, little ghost, and you should listen carefully to what I say next, because it is about your future." Kong Si was not surprised by the movement in the room, he calmly looked at Yang Lei's face, which was many times more vicissitudes than his peers, and seemed to be brewing his tone.

"Twenty-three years ago, at the end of the storm, when the intensity of radiation had greatly diminished and the charged particles that had invaded the Earth's sphere had disappeared, and the Earth was about to return to light after a century-long dark age, a rare biochemical virus broke out......"

"It was an RNA virus like no other, and it was called a tyrant because of how fast it spread and how widely it covered!"

"Tyrant is a demonic product born with the purpose of developing biological limits by enhancing the characteristics of recombining biological genes! But a part of human beings can not adapt to his mutagenicity and change into something like loss, and the secondary infection it causes can produce mutations of various organisms, its initial symptoms are like the human body in allergies or when receiving stimulation, the same as a cold, so usually no one will pay attention to this kind of thing, at most go to a conventional hospital, but then people are horrified to find that even if they take more cold medicine, they can't kill this violent RNA virus! ”

"When everyone began to notice this terrible existence, unfortunately, according to the observation of biochemical experts, the 'tyrant' has begun to attack the cells and tissues of the infected......"

Looking at Konstantin's haggard face, which was already ten years old at this time, Yang Lei's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and he asked, "Is this ...... What does it have to do with me? ”

"Of course it does!" Konstantin said: "Because your parents are one of the infected!" ”

"You mean, my biological ......"

"That's right! I believe you have known all this for a long time" Konstantin continued to explain indifferently: "According to the data given by the National Bureau of Statistics, there were as many as one million infected people at that time, and when the military learned the news, they quickly established a virus quarantine area, but the infected people in the quarantine area did not know it, and the real nightmare has just begun......

"The most terrible thing about tyrants is that they can speed up the metabolism of living things, in other words, as long as a creature is infected by it, its own metabolism will grow at a geometric rate, and human beings are of course in this biological category. Once the metabolism in the human body breaks through the critical value, then the most noticeable change in appearance is their skin...... After a month, the skin of the infected person has begun to turn yellow, and after forty days, the epidermis has completely turned white, and two months after the outbreak of the virus, as many as a million infected people have begun to molt, and their skin hardness and thickness have skyrocketed wildly, and finally become nondescript monsters. ”

"At that time, the military dispatched all its troops, and in order to prevent riots among the infected, they stood at the border of the quarantine area 24 hours a day, and you were born at that time...... At the time, I was a biochemist at a virology research institute that specialized in delivering babies to people who were not fully infected......"

"Say no more!"

Hearing this trace of self-evident sadness in Yang Lei's voice, Konstantin's face suddenly twitched, and he said with some excitement: "Don't you want to know your true identity?!" ”

Silence, or silence.

"I remember it was Resurrection Day, but I have to say, it was her Good Friday!" Konstantin still recalls the scene in his mind, and he still feels an infinite sadness......

"Your mother is very lucky, because he was pregnant before the birth of the virus, so this does not affect your health, but at this time, your father has completely fallen into a rage, and in the case of hunger, he began to fight your mother's idea, to be precise, he still had a trace of emotion at that time, just for the baby in your mother's womb, that is, you!"

Boom, Yang Lei's brain sounded like a thunderbolt from the sky, the fact that it was so difficult to accept had happened to him, but he didn't expect that more cruel was still to come......

He ...... You want to eat me? ”

"Listen to me" Konstantin looked at Yang Lei's hideous face and persuaded: "In the group of infected people at that time, this is a normal physiological phenomenon!" ”

"You know, at that time, a large part of the infected people have evolved to a more serious point, because the virus has begun to erode the cells of his brain, in this case, the patient's cognitive ability is low, not only that, but even the rational and emotional part of the brain will be gradually corroded, they can only take energy from the outside world, and the appetite of these creatures has increased greatly because of the virion, so as long as they see, hear, and smell the existence of creatures, they will immediately rush over to chase and kill, which is the so-called berserk."

"Why, then, didn't my father, who had fallen into a rage, fail to speak?" Since childhood, Yang Lei, who has only experienced father's love in Asimov, yearns for that feeling very much.

"Because of your mother!"

Konstantin shuddered, and said: "I saw with my own eyes, her body was torn apart by your father, and the moment her head fell, I seemed to see her eyes pleading with me......

"You're lying!" At this point, Yang Lei's consciousness had fallen into a state of blur after hearing such a ruthless fact, he rushed forward like lightning with an arrow step, stretched out his slender arms, and slammed Konstantin's neck, due to his age, at this time, his skin that had lost its elasticity was rapidly turning white, and his whole face was flushed, but he did not resist.

"Right...... That's it, he ...... At that time, it was the same...... Grip on ...... She! ”

"I don't want to hear your voice again," he said coldly, and with one hand he threw Konstantin into the corner, and his huge arm force swung out violently, and slammed against the stone door, he coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and his whole body curled up, looking worse than death.

"You old immortal, what is the purpose of lying to me?!" Yang Lei looked at Konstantin, who was convulsing on the ground, as if he was an international spy, you know, although the case with the mysterious death of Yoshiko Kawashima has come to an end, but the seriously injured shadow assassin and the mastermind behind it have not yet found out who it is, so he seriously doubts Konstantin in front of him.

"Lie to you?" Slowly getting up from the ground, Konstantin laughed with a dejected look.

"What are you laughing at?" Yang Lei's face was full of murderous intent, and now, his murderous intent has been completely aroused by Konstantin.

"I don't think you can accept that, poor fellow! Didn't you notice why I was able to accurately guess that you were a psychic before?! ”

"Why?" Yang Lei recalled the scene just now, as if this was indeed the case, why did this old man dare to conclude that he was an alien with one word? But Yang Lei, who was poked at the key point at that time, didn't think about it so much, and now that he thinks about it, it is very strange.

As he spoke, he had already returned to his previous appearance, just as Yang Lei's blow just now did not affect him in the slightest, and said, "Idiot, haven't you heard of genetic inheritance?!" ”

"According to the well-documented research of the Psychic Organizations around the world, ninety percent of all psychic supernatural beings are genetically inherited, otherwise, what other substance do you think can have such a powerful genetic alteration ability except for the magnetic changes of the Dark Ages?"

Hearing this, Yang Lei suddenly fell silent, looked at Konstantin with dull eyes, and muttered to himself.

"In other words, I am ...... Survivors of the dark ages? ”
