Chapter 11: The First Devouring
The shrill sound of "jingle bells" echoed through the cold streets.
Pulling out his phone, Peter frowned at the caller ID.
As expected, it was Gwen's call.
The people who called in such "Hades Time" would not be anyone else except Gwen.
Sighing helplessly, he answered the phone.
"Gwen?"
"It's me, Peter, don't tell me that you've been woken up from your sleep by me now, and you're upset."
"It's 0:20 a.m., so what do you think?"
Peter said politely.
"Uh...... Okay okay, I apologize to you, this time I admit, I deliberately picked this time. You know, there are some things that would seem strange if you say them at normal times...... Just like a late-night TV series, the content that TV stations usually dare not broadcast will be put in it. ”
Gwen on the other end of the phone said in a strange tone.
"So...... Would you like to talk to me about sex and violence? ”
Peter asked suspiciously.
Gwen on the other end of the phone was speechless.
After a few dozen seconds of silence, she replied, "Ahem...... Of course not, I mean the Spring Ball is coming up, would you mind being my dance partner? ”
"Dance Partner..... Is it? ”
Hearing the other party's invitation to be his dance partner, he groaned for a moment, and was about to refuse, when he looked up and suddenly saw someone walking towards him on the other side of the street.
"Click! Click! Click! ”
Heavy footsteps echoed through the streets.
"Wait......!"
Peter spoke into his phone, then turned his gaze to the ill-intentioned man who was walking towards him.
A burly white man, wearing a headset, seems to be talking to someone.
The two "neurotics" who were on the phone on the phone on a rainy day, after approaching, glanced at each other.
"I've got something to do, Gwen, and I'll talk about that later."
Peter said a word to Gwen and hung up.
The white man looked at him like a falcon, then turned his gaze to the bag in his hand and said to the communication headset, "The target of the laundromat has been found. ”
"You're talking to me?"
Peter asked as he looked at the other man with the same expression.
"Of course not."
The stout man, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, said, "Do you know whose things you moved?" ”
"Of course. Your companion once asked me the same question, and I sent him to God, and you want to see him? ”
Peter's slightly hoarse voice came from under the black spider mask.
"On the contrary, I will send you to God, but not now."
After the white man threatened Peter, he lowered his head to the headset and said, "The subject is wearing a black spider pattern mask, is about five feet nine inches tall, and is tentatively estimated to be about 20 years old." ”
It seemed that he was reporting Peter's message to the other end of the communicator.
With that, he slowly took off his shirt, revealing his sassy and explosive muscles.
The most amazing thing is his arm, which not only has an explosive muscle, but also has an amazing length.
"I've heard a lot of thieves on this street, some are stupid, some are greedy, but without exception, they all died miserably!"
The strong man stared at Peter and said word by word.
"Ho!"
In the next second, he roared angrily, and the clothes on his arms suddenly cracked.
The arm then transforms into a barbed knife when visible to the naked eye.
The hand knife shaped like a praying mantis glows with a chilly chill in the night.
The barbed part is a sharp bone spur with a terrifying shape.
The blade is a deformation of the bone part, and its texture looks somewhat similar to that of metal.
"You're a mutant?"
Peter asked with a frown.
"Not a complete idiot yet, 'Mantis Huey', remember my name."
Mutant Huey's tone was murderous, "Hand over the money now, maybe I can make you die a happy death!" ”
"I'm sorry, I refused, so I had to let you die!"
Peter shook his head.
As soon as the words fell, a black "spider silk" erupted from the wrist part, which instantly shot into the other party's face.
"Bang!"
Huey, who couldn't react, covered his face and cried out in pain.
Fortunately, in addition to his lightning-fast and amazingly sharp hand knife, his physical defense is not bad.
With a roar, he tore off the black goo from his face and ran quickly towards Peter.
In Peter's hand, the alien cells created a whip-like weapon and struck at the opponent.
The moment the "long whip" touched Huey, Huey counterattacked, and swung forward like a praying mantis's sharp hand knife.
And in the process of swinging, the hand knife completes the instantaneous acceleration.
"Poof!"
The knife slashed through the long whip that had been alienated from Peter's body.
"Swing process...... Can it still be accelerated? ”
Peter's brow furrowed.
In the next second, the mutant had already rushed over with a hand knife.
"Bang!"
Peter's right hand transforms into a black shield to fend off the mutants' attacks.
But the sharpness of the hand knife was beyond his imagination.
The shield cracked in an instant, and the body was also slammed backwards by this vast force.
The moment he blasted backwards, taking advantage of the moment when the mutant relaxed, Peter's arm extended an alienated "spider silk" and wrapped around the opponent's arm.
"Black spider silk", extending black-red tentacles.
As if self-conscious, greed devoured his arm.
The black-red tentacles squirmed wildly, sucking the flesh of mutants like black-red roses blooming on their bodies.
The original sharp and astonishing speed of the hand knife was instantly absorbed.
Huey, frightened and frightened, let out a howl of pain.
As he retreated, he frantically tore at the black-red wriggling tentacles that were attached to his body.
With all his might, Huey finally tore at the existence that devoured his flesh.
However, his own arm has completely disappeared.
Before he could congratulate himself on his escape, the next second, black-red wriggling tentacles suddenly wrapped around his neck.
"Fack!"
Having lost their hands, the poor mutant can only fall prey.
His body quickly turned into a pool of blood under the absorption and agitation of the tentacles, and then it was completely absorbed by the "black light virus".
The entire devouring process took less than three seconds.
After sucking the other party, Peter did not feel any discomfort.
A kind of energy is flooded in the body, and the pleasure of power spreads in the body.
At the same time, a mottled and obscure memory flooded into his mind.
It was the memory of the mutant who had been devoured by him, and the influx of memories was accompanied by a slight tingling.
After the discomfort faded, he glanced briefly at the other party's memories and shook his head.
"What a complete bastard!"
Removing the black spider mask on his head, his mind turned and his body immediately changed.
The black-red virus wriggled and covered his body, and by the time the alienated cells had faded, he had completely transformed into Huey.
