Chapter 6: Death and the Lion Monkey

"What is Yuan Mingkong going to do to Tang Kui again?!"

"Wow, there are people who want to eat swan meat! Hmmm—sick to death, goosebumps. ”

"Even I don't deserve him like that, how can I still have the courage to stay by the school flower?"

"Shut up! Although you are right, you are a man. ”

"Okay, what's there to be noisy about, anyway, it must be our school flower who is kind-hearted and doesn't want to hurt others, and then politely refuses."

"But Yuan Mingkong, this brute, is too shameless, no matter how he hears it, people are not happy, and as a result, he stays by the side of the school flower every day."

"That is, taking advantage of the kindness of our school flower, the sin deserves death!"

“......”

It's not that Yuan Mingkong has good hearing, it's just that after 3 years, even if he can't hear, he can make up what this group of people on the side will say.

"Well, again...... Let's go out and talk. The shyness on Tang Kui's face quickly disappeared, and turned into his usual gentle expression, with a slight frown. According to Yuan Mingkong's observation for 3 years, this is Tang Kui's most angry state.

She gently pulled the corner of Yuan Mingkong's clothes and walked outside the school, and Yuan Mingkong shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

This year's winter came with a heavy snowfall, and when I walked out of the school gate, the snow reflected the sunlight, making the dusky world occasionally a little dazzling. Yuan Mingkong turned his head to avoid the light, and also looked at the rooftop of the third floor by the way.

Today, he was lucky enough to see the girl who occasionally looked at the scenery from the rooftop. She was holding a white beret, her long black hair fluttering gently over her shoulders, and this time she happened to be looking in his direction as well.

It's obviously very topical, but in the 3 years she has been in school, Yuan Mingkong has never heard anyone talk about her.

Tang Kui noticed Yuan Mingkong's movement of turning back, so he also looked towards the rooftop.

"She's there a lot."

"Hmm."

"It doesn't feel like a world at all – it's like ...... We're the same. ”

Tang Kui lowered his head and whispered, which caused Yuan Mingkong to not hear what she said in the second half of the sentence. But Yuan Mingkong still looked at Tang Kui in surprise, because this was the first time he had heard Tang Kui comment on this girl who often stayed on the rooftop.

"W-that!"

"'Eat the screws'?"

"I didn't ...... No! Tang Kui turned his face sideways in shame, and hid himself with his hands, and made a voice from inside that was narrowed by being covered by his hands, "Hmm-do you have any arrangements for Saturday night?" ”

"There's still time to adjust tomorrow's class, so it's not there."

"How can you call it nothing-" Tang Kui puffed out her face, she should be angry like that, but her voice was still very gentle, so Yuan Mingkong could hardly hear any angry taste.

Then, the two fell silent.

"Hmm—what are you going to do tomorrow?"

"Ahh Tang Kui paused for a while after making a sound, before saying, "Tomorrow is your birthday!" ”

"November 25th...... It can be! ”

"Can't say that!" Tang Kui gently pinched Yuan Mingkong's right cheek, as if to punish him, but soon found that his behavior was too intimate, so he blushed and fell into defeat.

Yuan Mingkong pinched his right cheek blankly: "What do you say...... It feels pretty good. ”

"So, do you want to go with me to see a meteor shower?" Tang Kui tried to speak calmly, but his head was lowered unconsciously. She raised her hand and almost pasted her phone to Yuan Mingkong's face, probably to show Yuan Mingkong the picture of her mobile phone, and also block Yuan Mingkong's sight by the way.

"I accidentally grabbed two good spots."

"Accidentally......" Faced with Tang Kui's clumsy lie, Yuan Mingkong secretly complained, and then asked casually, "Do you still need to grab a position to watch the meteor shower?" ”

"It's a stargazing observatory that requires a reservation."

"Oh-" Yuan Mingkong blinked and said, "I feel like there will be a lot of people, can I make a wish with Meteor in advance and not make a wish with Meteor?" ”

"Poof—it's not okay to say tongue twisters!" Tang Kui smiled gently.

"Anyone wants to see a meteor shower...... How does it look on your phone? ”

"No, you can't."

Tang Kui faced Yuan Mingkong with an overly standard smile expression. This is a precursor to her anger, although with Tang Kui's temperament, even if she is angry, it will not be good, but Yuan Mingkong still thinks it is better not to do that.

"Then it's decided, we'll meet at Wick Street Station tomorrow at 7:30 p.m., right?"

"Okay."

After hearing Yuan Mingkong's answer, Tang Kui entered the subway station, and when she was about to disappear, she turned her head as usual and said goodbye to Yuan Mingkong with her most everyday smile.

Yuan Mingkong boarded the bus nearby, and soon arrived at the place of work, Wick Street, the most prosperous street in Quanshan Mountain.

However, just as Yuan Mingkong went to the restaurant-

"Roar!!

With the sound of glass shattering and a loud roar, a roar from the beast came from above.

Yuan Mingkong looked up, and suddenly there was darkness in front of him. He was wondering when he smelled a smell of blood coming from his neck.

Three slender fingers ran through Gen Mingkong's neck from the side.

......

"W-that's a complete mutation!? How could someone have completely mutated?! ”

"How did he become so big!?"

"What a daze, run!"

After a deathly silence, the bustling Wick Street was plunged into an unprecedented panic.

There is an iron house, whether it is a branding event caused by a dangerous branding ability, or a mutation incident caused by the improper use of a branding ability, it has rarely appeared in people's field of vision, and even if it appears, it is only a small scale and a small impact.

However, the "deviants" who appear in the eyes of people today are completely beyond the scope of their common sense. They couldn't understand how such a giant creature could have jumped out of a book record 200 years ago and into the real world.

It's a giant creature that only appears in fictional stories and old-time accounts.

Its body resembles that of a monkey, with yellow fur and a long tail; His head was more like that of a lion, with a ring of golden hair, and his face was rounder than that of a monkey; His hands and feet are more human, thick and without nails, but with very little hair, they look clean, and they are somewhat whitish against the overall dull yellow coat color.

It was seen jumping out of a window in a commercial building.

At first, it was the size of an ordinary person, but its body has been expanding since the moment it appeared, and it has not stopped until it is now 30 stories high. It stands in the midst of the Wick Street complex, as if it had been half-legged buried in a small mound of earth.

It's huge, and the weight is just as impressive. As a result, the slightest movement of its body can cause a fluctuation in the air, and it will be forced to slow down.

Brand "Air Flow" - Air Bomb.

The mesdiocre-looking man clenched his right hand into a fist, and the air around him began to gather in his hand. A few seconds later, he swung his right fist at the "Deviant", and the air cannonball, about 2 meters in diameter, went straight to the "Deviant's" lion-faced door.

"The Iron House Night's Watch Wang Yi has arrived at the scene—" The Night Watch Wang Yi saw the result of his attack - the mutant was unmoved, so he roared at the communicator pinned to his chest, "It is estimated that the mutant 'Lion Monkey' mutation is a level 1 brand and a level 1 mutation!" There have been dozens of casualties at the scene!! Request for the transfer of all the night watchmen in the wick province!! Request support from the sword-wielding !! ”

Named "Lion Monkey" by Wang Yi, the first Iron House combatant, the mutant is completely immersed in his own world. Except for those who were crushed and injured or killed by its rapidly expanding body, this deviant who had lost his mind because of complete mutation had not even taken the initiative to hurt anyone.

After the expansion of his body stopped, the "lion monkey" kept smashing the surrounding buildings with his hands, and then raised his head and opened his mouth to eat the debris of the buildings in his hands. From time to time, it would let out a roar into the sky that would shatter many houses, not knowing whether it was burping or venting its frustration at not having enough to eat.
