The room was very dim, and a bit of dark blue light leaked from the gap between the curtains, shrouding the whole room in a layer of deep and dark tones.
Ge Xiu closed his eyes, his fluffy chin resting on the pillow.
The back undulates slightly with the rhythm of the breath, and the tail wraps around, gently covering the paws.
He quietly opened his eyes, his green eyes flashing slightly in the darkness.
The sky is about to light up.
Ge Xiu yawned, stood up, straightened his back, and stretched his waist.
However, before he could do anything, a hand stretched out from the side and touched it along the direction of his fluff.
"woke up?"
The man's low voice sounded in the darkness, without the slightest sleepiness.
Ge Xiu was stunned, the tip of his ear trembled slightly.
Is Shen Boyan still awake, or is he already awake
Ge Xiu turned his head and looked beside him, only to see Shen Boyan propping up his upper body from the bed and sitting up slowly.
Immediately afterwards, he easily picked up the kitten, which was only the size of his slap, and placed it on his lap. His movements were gentle and firm, and he stroked the soft fur behind it with his palms.
Gossiu yawned and rolled on his lap, his tail waving comfortably.
Shen Boyan's eyebrows were lowered, the outline of his face was hidden in the shadows, and his fingers gently scratched the cat's chin.
Ge Xiu lifted his eyelids and glanced at the gradually brightening sky outside the window.
The sunrise is getting closer.
He didn't want to directly change back into a human body here.
Ge Xiu stood up and was about to jump off Shen Boyan's knee, but was held down in the middle.
"Meow?"
The little black cat looked at the human who was holding him, and its fluffy little head was tilted.
"So anxious," Shen Boyan asked calmly, "Where do you want to go?"
He picked up the cat, held it up in front of him, looked at its green cat eyes, and then asked:
"Why don't you stay?"
An ominous premonition flashed in Ge Xiu's heart.
Shen Boyan's face got closer again, his thin lips were slightly pursed, the lip arches were as straight as a sharp blade, an unpredictable smile passed over his lips, but his dark pupils were not visible. end.
He said unhurriedly:
"I'd love to see you."
Ge Xiu's hunch in his heart came true.
He quickly went through the experience of the last few days in his mind, thinking back on when he had revealed his fault.
Most likely it was the time when he came back too late.
Really careless.
Although Ge Xiu didn't want to admit it, he didn't know when he started to regard the other party as a potential enemy, and his vigilance would involuntarily decrease when he was by the other party's side.
Shen Boyan hugged the little black cat on her knees, stared at him with her eyes down, and gently rubbed the cat's pointed ears with her fingertips.
The hot cat with his fingers shrank back and turned to bite each other's fingers.
Shen Boyan did not dodge or evade, and let the little black cat pierce his skin with his fangs, and dark red blood beads gushed out from the wound.
A trace of dark red flashed from the bottom of his eyes:
"Don't you want to see me?"
I really don't want to.
If my previous behavior was a cat, it would make sense, but thinking back on the premise that the other party knew that I was a human... This is too shameful!
Ge Xiu felt the heat begin to rise, and the cat's face hidden under the fluff was uncontrollably scalding hot.
After passing through the previous worlds, he gradually got a glimpse of the truth hidden under countless mysteries, and he didn't even know how to get along with "him". This feeling of helplessness continued to this world, this kind of For him, the inhuman form is not only an unavoidable deformation, but also a self-protection that avoids direct interaction with the other party.
Face-to-face with Shen Boyan in human form, Ge Xiu didn't even want to think about the possibility of this plan.
In addition, after changing from a cat to a human, he is completely naked...
Ge Xiu made up his mind.
In any case, I must not stay until the sun rises.
The hazy morning light shone in, shrouding the entire room in a halo of halo, Ge Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Boyan in front of him, his gaze swept across the metal collar on the other's neck.
Now that he is no longer on the verge of madness, Ge Xiu is unwilling to use electric shocks to get out of danger in this state.
However, disadvantage and advantage are interchangeable.
Shen Boyan has now left the brink of beastization, so his speed and strength have returned to the level of normal human beings.
It is also easier to be distracted.
Ge Xiu's mind changed.
He let go of the other person's fingers, lowered his head and licked the two small holes he bit out on the pulp of his finger, and then began to rub the other person's fingers with his lower jaw, making a thin "meow".
Shen Boyan scratched the little black cat's chin.
There was a purring sound in the cat's throat, and then the whole cat lay on the other's lap, turned over to reveal its fluffy belly, and let out a "mi".
Shen Boyan was stunned.
Ge Xiu keenly caught the other person's stunned moment, kicked his hind legs hard on his thigh, and then rushed out like a dark lightning.
In just a few short jumps, he disappeared into the open gap in the window.
Shen Boyan slowly put down the blocking hand.
His demeanor was extraordinarily calm, as if he was not surprised by the current result.
The gray-blue light outside the window was dim and dim, and the darkness was deep, like a silent undercurrent.
- He stayed up all night.
Carefully and earnestly, he thought about the idea that he was only on the verge of madness, and after careful consideration and consideration, he determined that this was not just some kind of temporary impulse, but some kind of deep-rooted soul. The desire for predatory and possessiveness that grows quietly there.
Shen Boyan didn't know where it came from, nor why this emotion was suddenly so strong.
But why bother
Isn't that what the so-called instinct is all about
The lycanthrope is itself a creature that obeys desires—the desire to kill, the desire to possess, the desire to love, the desire to have sex.
However, in the end, he still has basic rationality. Forcible control and imprisonment can only be counterproductive. What he needs is a more meticulous plan to weave an invisible cage for him that cannot be escaped, so that he can stay in his own forever. around.
Shen Boyan's eyes were dark, and he gently put his knuckles to his lips, kissing silently.
run.
This is the first step.
·
Since the previous incident, Ge Xiu hid a bag of clothes in the alley behind Shen Boyan's apartment just in case.
What he didn't expect was that he would use it so quickly.
The first ray of golden light of the rising sun shone on the silent street, and there was still a bit of coldness in the air that had not yet dissipated.
Ge Xiu raised his hand and lowered the brim of his hat, deftly bypassing the detection devices that had recently been added on the street, and hurried forward.
He frowned slightly, his lips pursed into a tight straight line.
Shen Boyan's sudden revelation was something he didn't expect.
This made Ge Xiu's subsequent plans completely deviated from the original trajectory, and he had to start planning for his next step again.
Ge Xiu returned to Chen Ziyan's apartment.
He took off his hat, the fluffy cat ears jumped out, and the slender cat tail protruded out of the wide gap in his trousers unwillingly, and swayed impatiently behind his back.
Ge Xiu turned his head and pinched his tail.
— Anyway, the top priority of his work now is to deal with these superfluous features.
At least, now he has a clear understanding of the causes of the beasts and the substances that are closely related to them. In addition, the collar can have an effect on Shen Boyan, which means that it is actually capable of suppressing people who have already mutated. The revealed beast-like characteristics may be due to incompetence or unwillingness to retain a generation of beast-like people. The government has never started research on this aspect.
Once you have a clear starting point, the rest of the work is much easier.
Ge Xiu used the illegal funds that he had previously transferred to the anonymous account to buy related analytical equipment and experimental tools from the black market, and then rented a warehouse on the edge of the city with a fake identity. In just a few days, a streamlined and The professional laboratory was assembled and put into operation quickly.
That energy material has now been widely circulated, and the man-made material that is inside the collar and has been reversed at the molecular level is more difficult to obtain, but fortunately, the samples collected by Ge Xiu from the collars worn by those few people are still there. Not used up, basically everything is ready.
After working day and night upside down for a week, Gossiu found a way to target and temporarily suppress the mutated gene.
- In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had to change into cat form at night, his efficiency would have been at least doubled.
It is manufactured by fine reprocessing on the basis of artificial collar materials. Although it will still have certain side effects on the human body, compared with the convenience it can bring, it is enough for people to ignore those that can be reduced by controlling the dosage. Reduced side effects too.
He stared at the light green liquid in his palm, and let out a deep breath.
According to the number of samples obtained in his hands, this is the largest volume he can make.
Estimated according to the action time, such a tube can last up to five hours.
Ge Xiu swept around his rudimentary laboratory with some pity - if the equipment could be more complete and advanced, he could directly reverse and purify energy from energy, but the control of those related equipment was too strict, even There is no way to buy it on the black market, and if it is imported illegally, it is easy to be targeted by the government that is strictly guarding this aspect.
However, it takes too long to start with basic equipment.
Based on the plans he had glimpsed in the lab, Gexiu worried that he wouldn't be able to wait that long.
He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, yawned tiredly, the blue and black under his eyes became more and more dazzling on his pale face.
Ge Xiu slowly stood up from his seat, took the phone beside him, and opened the screen.
He swept across the screen hastily, then couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
During my week at work, the situation has changed dramatically.
Four days ago, there was the first report of the beast-like characteristics of the collared person, and when the relevant troops went to control it, five people were slightly injured, three were seriously injured, and one died.
The candid video immediately appeared on the Internet.
In the trembling footage, a huge python frantically swings its thick and long dark green tail in broad daylight, struggling and making a harsh and terrifying neigh, the shops of the entire street are destroyed, and the sand is filled with dust. , rubble piled up, and vague screams and cries of people could be heard in the distance.
The video caused a huge wave in an instant.
It conveys two very clear messages to people -
First, the control effect of the collar is no longer safe and effective.
Second, new lycanthropes are no longer limited by solar activity when they change their form.
And their terrifying destructive power and the huge damage they can cause to society have awakened people's terrifying memories. People vented their unease and fear in various ways. They marched, protested, and were attacked by various online All kinds of extreme remarks are full, and the atmosphere of panic makes the air tense and restless.
And violence breeds in fear.
Some humans no longer trust the collar wearers around them. They regard these people as potential dangers of occasional explosions, threatening their personal safety all the time. The voices for controlling collar wearers are getting louder and louder. There has even been persecution of collar wearers in the region.
Even in areas that haven't turned violent, people are starting to double down on their vigilance and distance from those around them.
Events are tilting towards a gradual loss of sanity.
Uncontrolled anger and fear make people stupid and blind.
Ge Xiu frowned more and more tightly.
While he was scanning the web page in front of him, suddenly, the mobile phone in his hand vibrated with a "hum", and then, an interface marked "BREAKING NEWS" suddenly popped out—
Gosew paused, and finally clicked on the link.
“… According to relevant personnel, the government has received threatening remarks from the lycanthrope terrorist organization. It is reported that this terrorist organization disappeared after the end of the war 50 years ago. This is the first appearance in 50 years…”
Gorshu remembered that organization.
In the folders in that pile of research institutes, he scanned the information of the people in it. The participants and creators either died in the siege or were arrested and imprisoned for life.
This terrorist organization has long since been destroyed.
If someone didn't take the opportunity to counterfeit, it was someone behind the scenes.
And the already tense situation has become more serious.
The behind the curtain began to move his fingers, holding the invisible thin thread, manipulating the puppets on the stage, silently leading the upcoming drama.
At this moment, a message from the school teacher to Ge Xiu popped up on the mobile phone. In addition to greeting him, the head teacher also conveyed to him the latest changes in the school's rules. Due to the recent tense situation, in order to ensure the safety of each student, Therefore, during this period of time, they have to conduct strict inspections on all students in school.
So the teacher came this time to ask him to report his recent whereabouts and the hospital that saw him, and to ask him about his recovery and whether he could get a wire recently.
Ge Xiu stared at the screen that lit up in front of him, thought about it, and clicked on the dialog box.
He replied succinctly:
"Thank you teacher for your concern. My health is much better. I will go to school tomorrow."
