"My name is Wu Zhuowen, and the animalization form is a snapping turtle."
The man scratched the dark green scales on his face and introduced himself.
"Chen Ziyan." Ge Xiu answered concisely.
He stared at the boy sitting opposite him, his eyes swept over the fluffy pointed ears on the top of the other's head, and the cat's tail that swayed impatiently behind him, and finally landed on the clothes he was wearing that was obviously one size larger than his body. .
Wu Zhuowen hesitated for two seconds, and then asked carefully:
"So... you are the kitten that the boss brought back just now?"
Ge Xiu's face was not very good-looking: "...Yes."
Wu Zhuowen thought for a while and continued to ask:
"So, the reason why you turn back into a cat during the day is because a drug was developed that can suppress the animalistic characteristics during the day, and this is a side effect of the loss of efficacy of the drug?"
Gossi nodded.
Wu Zhuowen pondered for a moment, and after he turned his eyes obscurely around the delicate distance between the two people on the opposite side, he opened his mouth carefully and said:
"So... what is your relationship?"
Ge Xiu's face was a little ugly again: "Classmate."
Shen Boyan didn't speak, and seemed to acquiesce.
Wu Zhuowen subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Boyan, who was sitting beside him - his boss's expression was light, and there was no obvious emotion on his cold and distant face, but his eyes never left the other person's body for a moment.
I don't know if it was his delusion, but he always felt that his boss's expression seemed a little gentle.
Wu Zhuowen pondered for three seconds, and finally decided to remain skeptical of the purity of the relationship between the two.
At this time, Ge Xiu suddenly thought of something and said:
"By the way, do you know what the raw materials for my potions are?"
Wu Zhuowen was taken aback and shook his head honestly.
Ge Xiu bent down, opened the zipper of the backpack on the ground, and took out a tube of injection that had been emptied. The remaining medicine on the glass wall shone with a faint green luster under the light.
He pointed to the collar worn on Shen Boyan's neck: "It's a synthetic substance hidden here."
Ge Xiu tapped the glass outer layer of the needle tube lightly with his fingertips, and his neatly trimmed nails collided with the hard outer wall, making a slight crunch:
"I collected a total of 0.5 milligrams of samples, and the medicine produced was about 8 milliliters. The side effects caused by the time were about... "
He glanced down at his wrist, then froze slightly.
The watch I was carrying had long since been lost when it turned into a cat.
Ge Xiu poked Shen Boyan with his elbow:
"what time is it now?"
Wu Zhuowen's eyes widened slightly. He never imagined that someone would treat the boss with such an attitude. He looked at Shen Boyan and took out his phone naturally, and replied, "3:25."
Ge Xiu nodded, looked up at Wu Zhuowen, who was still in a stunned state, and said:
"The duration of the side effects is about three hours or so."
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "The next step is a simple math problem. Since such a small amount of samples can cause such a long runaway beastization time, then guess what, more than fifty times the amount of material in the energy amplifier will be effective. If it is worn on the body of a potential beast for more than ten years, what will be the consequences?"
Wu Zhuowen was startled and was frightened by the implied meaning in Ge Xiu's words:
"what do you mean… "
Ge Xiu gently poked the injection on the table with his fingertips, watching it roll out of control towards the edge of the table, and said slowly:
"The collar worn by potential beasts is actually a time bomb. Once it fails, the beasts will fall into a state of full beast that loses their senses, and there is no possibility of returning to human beings."
The injection paused precariously on the edge of the table.
"The human body, however, develops resistance to this man-made material."
The empty glass tube fell down, hitting the ground with a crisp sound, bouncing twice as if it hit a person's heart, and then rolling away into the distance.
"—the day of failure is not far away."
This sentence was like a sigh, but also like a prophecy, which made Wu Zhuowen's heart tremble.
The news that had suddenly increased during this period of time poured into his mind instantly, and a chill gradually rose from the cracks in his bones.
Wu Zhuowen suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened suddenly, he stammered and asked:
"Then, what about the collar on the boss's neck?"
He clapped the table and stood up, his voice suddenly increased, and he said anxiously: "Is there any way you can take off the collar of the boss! This thing can't be allowed to stay around and continue to harm him!"
Ge Xiu took over the conversation: "There is a way."
But before Wu Zhuowen was happy, he saw the young man in front of him squinting his eyes slightly: "But now the biggest threat is not the automatic electric shock device on the collar that prevents the collar from being taken off, but once the collar loses its force , I'm afraid the side effects it brings will manifest directly in him."
That would mean irreversible beastization of insanity.
Wu Zhuowen heard the overtones of Ge Xiu's words, he sat down in despair, and the whole person fell into the bottom of the valley.
Ge Xiu changed his words: "But..."
Wu Zhuowen was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at each other expectantly.
"If you can help me get the relevant experimental equipment and give me enough space and time," Ge Xiu's ears trembled, and a trace of unquestionable arrogance flashed in the depths of his dark eyes: "The matter is not There must be no turnaround."
Wu Zhuowen's emotions were instantly mobilized: "Yes, yes! No problem! Just give me a list of what you need! Anyway, we are already an officially recognized terrorist organization, and we can rob you of the equipment you need! "
He stood up emotionally: "This bunker is big enough, don't worry! If it's not enough, the pangolins can continue to dig..."
Ge Xiu suddenly thought of something, interrupting Wu Zhuowen's passionate speech:
"Speaking of which, after the war ended, didn't the officials declare that the members of your organization have been eliminated?"
Wu Zhuowen shook his head: "It's just what they thought, most of us died on the battlefield, some were caught in special prisons for life, and some of the rebels who sold our intelligence got special Protection, glory and wealth—only a small part of them escaped from their encirclement and suppression, and we and..." He glanced at Shen Boyan, and the words that were about to blurt out abruptly, "...Our leader is separated."
"Society's regulations are getting stricter and stricter. We live in isolation in this situation. Some lycanthropes who don't live long enough have died, but new ones are also born. Of course, there are others like me. This long-lived species with a lifespan of 150 years, we have also survived."
Wu Zhuowen said patiently:
"It wasn't until half a month ago that we finally got in touch with the leaders, and our organization resumed operations."
All of these contents have never appeared in any official materials, and they have indeed answered a lot of his doubts.
Ge Xiu nodded in satisfaction.
After talking about this, Wu Zhuowen regained his energy again and asked:
"By the way, besides these, do you need anything else?"
Ge Xiu tilted his head and thought for a while, and replied, "Wait a minute, I'll send you an address, and you can move all the equipment and notes in the warehouse here."
Wu Zhuowen agreed.
When he was about to go out, he was stopped by Ge Xiu from behind again: "Oh, and, are there any potential lycanthropes in your organization who wear collars?"
Wu Zhuowen was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"I need to conduct more in-depth research on the collar, the only way to ensure the success of the follow-up experiments." Ge Xiu explained.
At this moment, Shen Boyan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said:
"Can't I?"
Ge Xiu was startled and turned to look at Shen Boyan.
"Anyway, you just need a collar for research, don't you?" Shen Boyan touched the cold metal on his neck with his fingertips. His eyes were dark and his expression was light. He stared at Ge Xiu and asked unhurriedly. :
"So, can't I?"
Gossiu: "..."
He turned to look at Wu Zhuowen who was standing aside: "So, is there no one else?"
Shen Boyan also turned to look at Wu Zhuowen.
Wu Zhuowen's scalp tightened, and he couldn't help shaking slightly under Shen Boyan's silent gaze: "No, no."
"… "
Ge Xiu glanced at Shen Boyan.
Shen Boyan looked back without changing his expression, and there was no shame on his face.
Ge Xiu was expressionless: "...That's fine."
Shen Boyan nodded: "Okay, then it's settled."
He raised his hand and unbuttoned his buttons one by one, moving smoothly and smoothly.
Ge Xiu was taken aback: "Wait... What are you doing unbuttoning?"
Shen Boyan paused: "Don't you need research?"
Ge Xiu: "...That's not now either."
Wu Zhuowen was keenly aware that something was wrong this time, so he hurriedly threw a sentence, "I'll prepare the equipment now", and then slipped out of the room as if his tail was on fire.
Once again, only Ge Xiu and Shen Boyan were left in the room.
They looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
Ge Xiu shrugged: "Forget it, I have nothing to do now anyway."
He stood up, walked to Shen Boyan, and ordered, "Tear off the collar a little more."
Shen Boyan's lips curled slightly, and obediently twisted the buttons open two more times, then raised his head, revealing the collar on his neck completely.
Ge Xiu raised his hand and lightly touched the metal frame of the collar, frowning slightly.
The collars he had touched before were all stopped when they were taken off. This was the first time he had closely observed a working collar in human form—if he wanted to touch it in advance without taking it off The possible side effects are still somewhat difficult.
Shen Boyan raised his head.
He could feel the other person's cold and delicate fingertips crossing the edge of the collar from time to time, touching the skin on his neck, and swiping gently like a feather, a numb itching sensation from the small piece of skin that was rubbed against. It spreads everywhere, gnawing along the blood and bones, burning hot, sweet and almost torture.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down involuntarily.
Shen Boyan frowned and began to wonder if he had made a wrong decision.
But at the moment when this idea came up, he was directly smothered - let Chen Ziyan do this to others? impossible.
At this moment, he felt itchy under his chin, as if something fluffy was gently sweeping across the skin, Shen Boyan raised his hand subconsciously, and stretched towards that place.
— and then caught a hand full of fluff.
A thin, delicate membrane was covered with soft and fluffy soft hairs, which shook slightly after being caught in the palm of his hand.
Ge Xiu's forbearance voice came from below his line of sight: "...let go."
This is... an ear
Shen Boyan pinched subconsciously.
The next second, he felt a blow to his lower abdomen.
Shen Boyan sucked in a breath of cold air, he frowned, slightly arched his waist, and covered the place where he had just been hit by the opponent's knee.
Ge Xiu distanced himself from him and looked down at the man in front of him.
His eyes were very bright, and the dark and deep eyes flickered with dark fire, and a layer of light red that didn't know whether to be ashamed or annoyed spread from his cheekbones.
Ge Xiupi twitched the corners of his mouth without smiling:
"Please don't touch your feet during work."
