The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain

Chapter 6: confused

Views:

In the dark alley, the creepy creaking sound continued. Like sewer rats chewing food.

A group of black shadows lay on the old Nuo's body, constantly digging out something, and making horrible chewing sounds.

This is already an urban-rural junction close to the outskirts of Zhongdu. Near midnight, no one noticed the terrifying scene in the alley.

Suddenly, the chewing sound stopped, and a ray of moonlight shone on Li Anping's pale face.

His eyes protruded, and his eyes were full of horror. When he saw the bloody old Nuo under him, he screamed and stepped back, leaning against the wall.

Li Anping looked at the blood on his hands and the wreckage on the ground, and finally couldn't help but vomited out.

He vomited for a long time, but he couldn't vomit cleanly. He always felt like something was churning in his stomach. He screamed like crazy when he saw the blood in his vomit.

"If you want to call the police, go ahead."

Li Anping raised his head and said angrily, "What the hell did you do? You actually... let me eat... let me eat..."

"You want to talk about cannibalism?" The voice said maliciously: "I didn't control you. From the beginning to the end, you were the one who acted. It doesn't matter if you kill the police, or kill the first intruder later. That’s right, you also chased down the second intruder, killed him, and then ate a few bites of his flesh, all of which you did yourself.”

"How is it possible?!" Li Anping slammed his head against the wall hysterically: "How could I eat people? You devil, how could you let me eat people?!"

"Hey hey hey, I said that I didn't control you, but just gave you strength." The voice sneered, "And what you do after that is all driven by instinct under the influence of power.

Li Anping, you were born a demon. In the bottom of your heart that has been pursuing justice for more than twenty years, what is hidden is the deepest malice of human beings.

To you, killing is as natural as breathing, and destroying life is as easy as dressing and eating. These are your instincts, the real you. "

Li Anping covered his head with his hands and covered his ears: "Nonsense, I don't want to listen to your bewitching anymore, everything is you, you are manipulating me, you devil, you devil!! You ruined my life !!"

The voice snorted coldly and said: "Before this, you had no life. On the contrary, now you, your body has been repaired, and you have mastered the power that ordinary people cannot grasp, and you have the opportunity to take revenge.

And the only price is to arouse his instinct. It's such a bargain.

Besides, you promised me before that you would pay whatever price you want. Are you going back on your word now? "

Li Anping remained silent, with a ruthless look on his face: "But I didn't promise you cannibalism!! How can you leave my body? I won't cannibal again."

The voice said again: "I just need to make a deal with you. In the process of the deal, you will only get countless benefits and master unimaginable power..."

Some will go mad, some will break down, and some will reveal their true nature when faced with horrific truths.

"You've been using me from the beginning, right?" Li Anping's logical thinking started to work again: "When you were in the ward, although you said a lot, you didn't reveal any important information. What kind of existence it is, I have no idea.

But at that time, I lost all hope, so I chose to believe in you... "

"Hey hey hey, it turns out that your choice at the time was right."

"Really? Thinking about it calmly now, I feel that I was bewitched by you, and I just walked the path you want me to take." The voice remained silent, and Li Anping continued: "If you want to trade, at least Tell me first what exactly are you? And what is going on here?" He pointed to the corpse on the ground and said.

"Hey, the deal has been reached, it's too late to say anything now. When you let go of your mind, my strength and your body have become inseparable. Speaking of which, should you look at your own body first? ?”

"Huh?" Li Anping stood up upon hearing this, and looked down at his body. I saw him startled, looked at his torso in disbelief, and exclaimed, "How is it possible?"

I saw that his originally 1.8 meter body had become taller, almost to 1.9 meters, and his thin body, which had been tortured on the hospital bed, had become extremely strong, with pieces of tendon flesh on his arms and thighs. , Coupled with the streamlined abdomen and chest muscles, it looks like a gymnast or swimmer.

It's a world of difference from how he looked a day ago.

At the same time, a seductive voice sounded in his ears again: "My ability is to strengthen myself by absorbing the soul and body of human beings, and after residing in your body, you will also have the same ability. ability.

As long as you keep hunting humans, you will become stronger and stronger, and your body will become more perfect.

As long as you hunt enough humans, one day, you will become the god of the new world, running this world with your own will. "

"Don't think about it." Li Anping said decisively: "I will never eat people. And what you said is completely groundless."

"No proof? Then how do you explain your current body? How do you explain everything you did in the hospital?" The voice sarcastically said, "You absorbed the soul of that policeman to fight against that ability user who can control muscles." , and then ate that ability user, he was able to chase all the way to kill this man and complete the initial transformation of his body."

"It's not me who did this!! It's you!!" Li Anping roared, "You don't want to use me again, you monster, I won't be at your mercy again."

"Hmph, how do you take revenge? You don't want to eat people to enhance your body. But what do you do now? The police are looking for you, and the Shang family will not let you go. Although they are not sure that you killed the people in the hospital Yes, but I also know that you are missing, if they send a stronger ability user over next time, with your current strength, you will die."

"It's none of your business." Li Anping walked out of the alley with his head in his arms.

"What a rookie, don't you even know how to hide the corpse after eating?"

Li Anping didn't say a word, just walked out of the alley. Although his thinking returned to normal, his heart was still in a state of confusion. He wants to vent, but he doesn't know how to do it. He wants to talk to someone, but he doesn't know who to turn to.

He was walking alone on the street in the cold winter, and he was still wearing the hospital gown with blood stains on it, which made him look very weird.

The cold wind was blowing on his body, but Li Anping couldn't feel the slightest coldness. There is an endless stream of power in the body. Although he is not as strong as when the hospital exploded his strength, his strengthened body has already made him far beyond ordinary people.

Gradually, Li Anping walked faster and faster, he started to run, and the map of the entire Zhongdu city appeared in his mind, as if he was looking at the map in his hand. He had never felt that his memory was so strong. His arms swung powerfully, his feet stepped on the ground, and the huge thrust pushed his body forward.

Feeling the wind blowing over his face, Li Anping kept running at the sprint speed of ordinary people, as if he wanted to vent all the depression in his heart.

But the strong body does not feel fatigue at all, there is no soreness in the limbs, the breathing of the lungs is normal, and there is not even a trace of shortness of breath.

when he stopped. It's just that my legs are slightly sore, just like ordinary people take a walk after a meal.

It wasn't until dawn that he realized that he had crossed tens of kilometers before he knew it, and returned to the community where he lived before.

"Did I come back here subconsciously?" Li Anping murmured, seeing the familiar plants and trees nearby, he experienced a feeling that things were different. The last time he came here, he was still a college student in his prime, a hero who stood up for justice.

And now, he is a rapist that everyone despises, a murderer that the police pursue.

"What on earth should I do?"

Walking down the street in a daze, Li Anping's face was full of confusion.

"Li Anping?" At this moment, a female voice sounded from behind him, almost knocking him out of his wits.

He turned around and found that it was his neighbor's daughter, Wang Xue.

"What should I do? Should I knock him out? Will he call the police? Could it be...kill her?" Li Anping turned his head and stared blankly at Wang Xue, just as he was ashamed of his subconscious reaction. Wang Xue behind him spoke again.

"Sorry, I mistook the person." Wang Xue stuck out her tongue and blinked at Li Anping. At the age of 18, she is at the age of youth, and she is born with good growth, and she looks even more cute. She is also a figure sought after by many boys in school.

At this time, Li Anping looked down at himself and reacted. It turned out that after his body was transformed, both his body shape and temperament changed greatly, only the brows still vaguely looked like before, so Wang Xue recognized him as a mistake.

But Wang Xue looked at Li Anping's downcast appearance and the blood on his clothes, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No... nothing." Li Anping said nervously, "I just fell down."

Naturally, Wang Xue could see through such a mindless lie. But living in this slum area, Wang Xue has seen too many people of all kinds. If she hadn't felt that the other party was somewhat similar to Li Anping, she would not have come up to ask questions.

"It's fine. There is nothing hard to overcome in the world." Wang Xue said carelessly: "If you want to find a job, you can go to the vegetable market to find my father Wang Qing, and help move the vegetables. It's better than just dawdling around."

"Well, I'll think about it." Li Anping nodded, knowing that the other party misunderstood him as a beggar, a tramp or something like that. But now he is no different from a tramp.

I heard that Wang Xue's father, Wang Qing, is the boss of the vegetable market, and she likes to help some needy households in the community.

Watching Wang Xue leave, Li Anping suddenly felt warm in his heart. Maybe this world is very dirty, but it has not reached the moment of complete despair, maybe only a small part, but there are still good people and good deeds in this world.
