Ge Xiu stared at the dark cat tail in his hand and pinched it subconsciously.
The tailbone is slender and pliable under the fur—soft and fluffy.
He touched the tail upwards, and slowly reached behind his back. At the end of the caudal vertebra that was sunken down at the waist, a fluffy tail extended from that piece of skin.
Gossiu touched the end of his tail.
In the next second, like an electric current, a strange feeling hit him, spreading all the way up the spine along the base of the tail, Ge Xiu felt his back explode, and hurriedly dropped the plush tail in his hand.
This... This is what grows on him! !
Ge Xiu was shocked.
As if thinking of something, he suddenly raised his hand and touched the top of his head.
In the soft hair, a pair of pointed triangular ears protruded, and the slender cartilage was covered with a layer of fine fluff. It felt slightly cooler than the skin, but it was very clear to recognize its true nature. sex-
what…
Gossi raised his eyebrows a little ridiculously.
Isn't this restored human form completely restored? !
- How can I go to school
He raised his hand and tried to press the extra ears in toward the top of his head, but every time he let go, the pointy black cat ears popped out again.
Gossi frowned irritably.
He felt a little itchy on the outside of his thigh, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, and once again caught the cat's tail in his hand.
Gossiu: "..."
So... when he didn't even notice it, his tail would sway according to his mood
It's so troublesome! ! !
Ten minutes later, Ge Xiu finally stopped trying to plug his ears and tail back, because no matter what he did, these two superfluous organs couldn't be restored to their normal appearance at all—perhaps only the collar could completely put them back together. This strange feature was suppressed.
But... at least he can use his hands now.
When he was a cat, unlocking the screen or searching for information online became extremely difficult, almost impossible challenges.
Ge Xiu sighed, picked up his phone, and sat down on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed.
He began to purposefully search for context related to the world.
The level of technology in this world is far higher than the previous world, especially in terms of high-lethality military weapons, it has basically reached the level of the real world - obviously, the designers of this virtual world have absorbed the previous The lessons of several worlds are not ready to give him much leeway in this regard.
On the other hand, Ge Xiu's conjecture was basically confirmed.
Fifty years ago, some humans became animalized.
They take on the form of another species after sunset and retain some of their characteristics during the day.
However, their destructive power and attack power are far beyond ordinary wild animals, their huge size, and almost abnormal attack power, and they can even defend most of the lethal weapons in this world. In addition, they will also have The specific advantages of that animal - ligers have a terrible bite force, spider snakes, etc. are highly venomous, etc.
Opponents call it a "degeneration and atavism of humanity", while some ardent supporters see it as a "gift of nature" and "the direction of human evolution."
However, since these alienated humans will be dominated by primitive wildness after transformation, even in the daytime, their characters will be more beasts than humans.
They behave eccentrically, have a weak sense of morality and social awareness, and act almost entirely on the basis of personal desires.
As a result, the crime rate has soared, and there have been numerous incidents of beastly children and infants attacking their families, causing casualties, and society has plunged into turmoil.
Some arrogant lycanthropes believe that they are born powerful and genetically superior, and should not be controlled by inferior humans.
So they launched wars in an attempt to subvert the social order.
After a difficult and chaotic three years, humans have gained the upper hand through the development of related targeted weapons, and the lycanthropes, although overwhelmingly superior in ability, are smaller in number, less organized, and act The impulse follows instinct, which makes them disastrous in this war.
Since then, humans have developed devices capable of detecting lycanthropes.
All newborns will be tested in the hospital. If there is a tendency to mutate in the gene, they will wear this restraint collar for life. It can prevent the further development and mutation of the beast-like gene and prevent the emergence of the beast-like person from the source. .
Also, various countries have passed the Bestializer Management Act.
The legislation stipulates that untested people who conceal false reports will be subject to criminal prosecution, and if such people later become bestialized, they will be severely dealt with - at least, they will be sentenced to life imprisonment.
With the passage of time, although the lycanthrope riot is farther and farther away from people's current life, the kind of rejection mixed with fear and disgust has not been far away-human beings are born with a natural repulsion of aliens, and The existence of the collar even amplifies this emotion endlessly.
Although the current generation of collar wearers will not be bestialized, they are still discriminated against and excluded from society as a whole.
Ge Xiu stared at the screen of the mobile phone, and a host was talking about the inferiority and danger of beastization in a disgusting and contemptuous tone.
He pressed pause, and the other party's noisy voice stopped abruptly.
Ge Xiu threw away his phone and turned his head thoughtfully to look at the clear and clean sky outside the window.
It has to be said that the designer of this virtual world is much more savvy than before—whether it is public opinion prejudice or the legislation that has been implemented, the source of its suppression and confrontation is the entire world order, and his identity as a beast is innately made him placed in opposition to the rules of society.
And this degree of beastization remains relatively vague and ambiguous. Although the ears and tail are obvious, they do not have as much room to hide as the scales of snakes and the eyes of spiders, and are still in the range that can be blocked.
However, whether he chooses to hide his identity or not, he will be at an absolute disadvantage.
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes and scanned the information of the former beasts on his mobile phone.
From bite power, attack power, defense power, to the specific strengths of the respective species…
He pondered for a while, then turned on the front-facing camera.
Ge Xiu stared at the fluffy black cat ears on his head and fell into a long silence.
so-
Why is only his beastization so trashy
Not to mention the attack power, after turning into a cat, his claws and teeth can't even penetrate human skin, which is even worse than an ordinary cat.
The difference is too big!
Ge Xiu frowned slightly, turned his head abruptly, stretched out his hand to hold down his unconsciously swaying tail, lifted the tip of the soft fur to the end away from him, and then angrily pressed it under the pillow beside him.
So - can you stop moving!
·
It was the first time that Shen Boyan left school so early.
The afterglow of the setting sun fills the streets.
He put his hands in his pockets and walked forward with an expressionless face.
Shen Boyan is tall, with broad shoulders, overly deep facial lines and cold, stiff eyebrows, full of oppression, thin and sharp lip lines, gloomy and fierce eyes hidden in deep-set eye sockets, The metal collar reflected the dazzling setting sun, making others around him subconsciously stay away from him.
His eyes swept across the storefront that was open to normal business, and after a slight pause, he turned around and walked in.
The enthusiastic clerk greeted him, but his smile froze when he saw Shen Boyan:
"Excuse me... do you need anything?"
The indifferent teenager glanced down at the various pet food packages in the store, and then looked up at the store clerk not far away.
As if he didn't notice the other party's uncomfortable stiffness, his voice was calm:
"Is there cat food?"
"Adult cat or kitten?" the clerk asked.
"Kitten."
The clerk pointed to several cat foods lined up on the wall on one side of the store: "Then I recommend these to you. The evaluation and palatability are very good, and they are very suitable for kittens..."
As if he was worried about Shen Boyan stepping into the store, he hurriedly said, "Which one did you choose? I'll just go get it for you."
Shen Boyan's eyes darkened.
The red-golden sunset behind him covered his back and shoulders, making his eyes more and more dark and cold: "Yes."
Twenty minutes later, Shen Boyan left the store carrying a bag of cat food, as well as small items such as cat toys, cat litter boxes, and cat scratching boards.
By the time he got home, it was almost completely dark.
Shen Boyan took out the key and opened the door.
The room was silent and dark.
He turned on the overhead light.
The light suddenly illuminated the room, and all the furniture and objects were the same as before he left—except that the little black cat had disappeared into the room.
Shen Boyan was slightly startled.
He threw the things he bought at the entrance, subconsciously accelerated his pace, frowned, and then began to look for the cat in the small room—
Under the table, under the bed, in the closet...
Nowhere.
Until his eyes swept across the half-open window on the side - the breeze blew in from the window and rolled up the corner of the curtain, revealing the sky that was completely dark.
Shen Boyan stared fixedly at the dark sky in that corner, and then silently retracted his gaze.
He went to the window, stretched out his hand, and closed the half-open window little by little.
The breeze and the night sky were isolated from the window.
The curtain was no longer rolled up and floated, it fell silently, and the whole room fell into a dead silence again.
Shen Boyan turned and left the window.
He smoothed the inconspicuous depression on the pillow, put the thin quilt rolled up as a pillow back into the closet, and threw the half untouched ham sausage into the trash can.
The room once again returned to its former deserted state, and every place was meticulously organized, as if there had never been any clutter.
Shen Boyan sat down on the edge of the bed.
The boundless silence came again.
He glanced at the shopping bag that was placed at the entrance, and then silently retracted his gaze.
At this moment, a thin voice sounded:
"… mum."
Shen Boyan was stunned for a moment, then stood up abruptly, searching for the source of the sound everywhere.
"Mi woo."
The little black cat squatted at the half-open door, its fluffy little head was slightly tilted, and a pair of green pupils stared at him quietly.
