Episode 1 (Gay friend’s suggestion) Lu Yanli becomes a little boy for one day

Very right.

Lu Yanli opened his eyes and thought calmly.

It was rare for him to come to a peaceful world. After several years of peaceful and tranquil life, nothing could make him emotional anymore.

Except this time.

The bed he was lying on seemed to have grown countless times larger, enough for him to roll over countless times. The ceiling, chandelier, bedside table and other things also grew in proportion.

‌, ‌ means that they have become bigger, and I have become smaller, and even the clothes I wear have become smaller.

The shrunken Lu Yanli lay on the oversized pillow. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find an opportunity to change. He sat up and slid down from the raised pillow.

The bed, which was originally considered high, was now too dangerous for him. Lu Yanli pulled the corner of the quilt up and pulled it down. After seeing that there was a big difference, he grabbed the quilt and slid down.

Of course he would wear shoes when he went to bed, so the slippers beside the bed did not shrink like his clothes. He had to run to the window barefoot. Fortunately, he still had the strength. He quickly reached the window, and with the help of the table and chairs, he jumped onto the windowsill in a few steps, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked at the outside world.

It was only the second floor. In the past, he could use his strength to jump down, but now it seemed like a chasm. The people coming and going below looked like giants in his eyes, so big that it was exaggerated.

It seems that I am the only one who has mutated.

He sat by the curtains, the early morning sun shining in, stretching a small shadow. His first reaction was that there was something strange going on again, but his intuition told him that this was a malicious change.

The cell phone on the bedside table rang, and Lu Yanli was a little surprised, because he had been living alone for a long time and had almost no contact with anyone. There were very few people who had his contact information, and he didn't know who was calling.

He found the right position, grabbed the curtain straps and jumped onto the table, then walked through the papers, pencils, etc. on the table to the other end and jumped down, finally reaching the phone.

The man on the phone was very patient and didn't hang up. But Lu Yanli ran into trouble again - the fingerprint unlocking didn't work.

He had no choice but to use the password, which jumped on the screen. After unlocking the phone, he stretched out his arm and swiped it, and the call was finally connected. It was not until the moment the call was connected that he suddenly remembered that he had not even checked who was calling.

A strange female voice came from the other end. He was sure he had never heard it before, and he knew that person, but he just felt that the voice was very familiar.

"Hey, are you listening? Um, you're so embarrassed, hahahaha, I didn't mean it on purpose, I was wrong, wuwuwu..."

"What?" Lu Yanli asked. He suddenly had an interesting guess, "I became smaller because of you?"

The female voice on the other end of the phone sounded even more guilty: "I swear, I will be back to normal tomorrow. Just bear with it today. Sorry, kid."

Before he could figure out what was going on, the call was hung up. He seemed to hear a female voice screaming "ah ah" on the other end of the phone. He could imagine the look of a young girl going crazy.

So...was it really her fault

How did she do it

Lu Yanli looked at his limbs, which had shrunk several times, and frowned. He liked this feeling of being controlled and wanted to call again, but there was nothing in the call log.

A text message popped up, and Lu Yanli clicked it with some difficulty, reading from a distance. The content of the text message came from the mysterious woman just now: [I was wrong, I was really wrong, I promise to be back to normal tomorrow, I will come back today, I'm sorry, baby, please bear with it.]

After he finished reading it, the text message disappeared instantly, and a miniature version of Lu Yanli's face appeared on the black screen.

Lu Yanli ignored the strange woman's name. He had a hunch that he would indeed recover to normal tomorrow, so he didn't care.

Just today... what to do

After arriving in the new world, he no longer had to worry about his life. He quickly adapted to the new life and became a painter. Just yesterday, he was still painting, and today he was going to start coloring.

Now that it looks like this, the paintbrush is easier to hold.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanli decided to go to the studio and take a look.

In order to prevent the mysterious woman from calling again and not answering the call, I had to bring my cell phone with me.

He first pushed the phone from the bedside table to the bed with force. The phone rolled twice on the pillow and bounced on the bed. Then he jumped over.

Just then, he heard a strange sound coming from the living room.

Someone is trying to pry the door open!

In an instant, the alarm sounded, he pushed his phone under the pillow, slid down the edge of the bed, jumped to the ground and tried to run away.

But he found the door of the room was locked and went out.

Lu Yanli looked up at the hand that used to reach his waist but now had no way of climbing up the door. Hearing the soft footsteps getting closer, he quickly went into the closet, crawled into the pocket of a coat, and looked outside vigilantly.

Fortunately, it was not a ghost or some strange creature, but just a thief. The thief quietly pushed the door open and found a bulge in the quilt on the bed. The owner of the house did not see it, and his hand holding the knife was a little dazed.

Since he dared to break into the house to steal, he was naturally well prepared. He knew that there was only one resident in this household and that the man looked sick and would be easy to deal with. So he did not bring a knife with him. He broke into the house early in the morning when the resident was still sleeping. After entering the house, he first went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and then went to the bedroom.

What is the result

I clearly didn't see him go out.

The thief searched under the bed, in the closet and other hiding places but didn't see the thief. There was also the other party's mobile phone under the pillow, so he put it in his pocket and rummaged through the drawers to find valuables.

Just as he was rummaging around, Lu Yanli had already slipped out of the closet and ran towards the studio.

He didn't plan to call the police, as it would be hard to explain his condition when the police arrived. Therefore, he just planned to let the thief stay here and deal with him after he recovered.

Lu Yanli kept a snake in his studio.

It is poisonous, but the toxicity is very strong.

He didn't have much affection for his pets, but the snake seemed to like him very much. It followed him to the bottom of the apartment building on a rainy day, so he simply picked it up and kept it.

Lu Yanli looked left and right, first found a mothball that had been sublimated to only half a granulated substance in the corner of the studio, rubbed the smell all over his body, and after making sure that the snake would want to eat him, he climbed up to the top of the easel along the stool leg.

He ran a short distance and jumped - he successfully jumped onto the desk, climbed over dozens of paintbrushes, and came to the edge of the pet rack.

In the transparent acrylic box, a snake about three fingers thick was coiled and sleeping. Originally a small snake wrapped around his arm, it was now undoubtedly a huge monster to him.

It was okay that he was asleep. Lu Yanli jumped to the top of the ventilation panel, struggled to open the lock, then worked hard to prop up the ventilation panel along the edge and pushed it back.

With a click, the ventilation panel was pushed open, and the snake was also awakened, opening its small round eyes.

Lu Yanli didn't care about all that. He jumped back onto the table, hugged the table legs tightly and slid down. He tore off a piece of napkin to cover his mouth and nose, and ran back to the mothballs.

He was familiar with the snake's nature and knew that it would automatically crawl into the bedroom once the cage was opened.

really…

The snake poked its head out vigilantly, and when it saw that no one was rushing back to the box, it became a little more unbridled, wrapping its body around in circles and slowly sticking most of its body out. Finally, its entire long body crawled out and crawled down along the table leg.

The tail wagged happily, and the cat went to the room as expected.

Lu Yanli didn't feel safe. The guy was holding a kitchen knife and looked very cautious. He had to make some more preparations. After the snake crawled out of the studio, Lu Yanli jumped a few times and returned to the table. He picked up a paintbrush, used the angle between his hand and the edge of the table to pry open the drawer, and jumped in again.

He put several shots of anesthetic in it, as well as a child's toy gun.

The combination of these two inconspicuous things is a killing weapon.

Lu Yanli took out two needles that were a little too big for him now, carried them on his shoulders and climbed up. After climbing onto the table with great difficulty, he felt a little tired even with his strong physical strength.

Soon, he heard a scream.

Looks like he got bitten.

On the contrary, he would have died from the poison of the snake, but Lu Yanli didn't care at all. He continued to climb up with the two needles, until he reached the highest point, then went down again and brought up a small and light toy gun.

He sat on top of the tall painting cabinet, installed the needle, and waited quietly.

Speaking of which, he hasn't encountered such a deadly guy for a long time. The other party should be thankful that we now live in a society ruled by law.

As the hurried footsteps approached, the snake desperately fled into the room, attracting the thief as well.

The door opened with a bang, and the next second, a very slight gunshot was heard, followed by a flash of silver light, and it pierced into the man's shoulder.

Before falling into a coma, the thief seemed to see a very small doll sitting on the top of the highest cabinet.

Just in case, Lu Yanli fired another shot, but this time he aimed it at the snake that was hissing excitedly. He didn't feel relieved until the two creatures, one big and one small, were completely silent.

He returned to the room the same way he came. The door was wide open and everything was in a mess. Lu Yanli pushed over a stool and used all his strength to slam the door. The door closed, leaving the two men locked in the room.

Only after everything was done did Lu Yanli go back into the closet.

Wait until the next day.

He felt a little tired.

(II) Lu Ge’s Body

At first, we were just a bunch of well-known items entrenched in the laboratory warehouse.

Life is a forbidden area that is recognized by both science and theology and cannot be touched upon. Creating new life seems to be very simple. All it takes is the combination of sperm and egg, followed by a period of uterine incubation, and then we can witness the birth of a new life.

Once separated from the mother's body, it is extremely difficult for a new life to be born.

Scientists have created flesh similar to that of living things, and have created blood vessels, tendons, and internal organs under the skin, but no matter how sophisticated they are, they still cannot give people souls.

Until that day...

The little baby survived.

He opened his black eyes and looked at the other people through the glass without blinking. Those eyes were full of human wisdom.

"Unbelievable... Really, it worked?"

For some reason, when being watched by those eyes, they did not feel excited about the results of years of research and the new fields they had entered. Instead, they felt empty and depressed.

They finally realized that they seemed to have opened Pandora's box and released a... monster.

The monster was laughing, and the crisp laughter of a baby echoed in the laboratory.

The team leader gritted his teeth, thought about the unknown future, and decided to kill this intelligent creature.

But they failed.

No matter what method they used, they could not kill this strange life. Even if they used explosives and violent explosions, the child was still sitting in the ruins, looking at them with his black eyes. He looked like an ordinary child, fair and well-behaved.

Yes, it was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. After three days, it had grown to the size of an ordinary two-year-old child. It could talk and walk. Even if it was locked up in the most tightly sealed room, it could break through the wall, walk in front of you, and look at you with its eyes open.

A jackpot—a monster.

"What are you doing?" A little boy pushed open the door and poked his head in. "I found you."

"Did I tell you? You are not allowed to come in without permission." The researchers who were discussing how to eliminate him immediately shut up. The female researcher who was closest to him was nervous, but she squatted down and asked softly, "What do you want from us?"

The little boy shook his head, then nodded, and opened his arms as if to hug, "You stay with me."

Even though she knew that he was just an ordinary child and might bring disaster to mankind, she still felt sorry for him and reached out to touch the top of the boy's head: "We'll come to accompany you after we're done, okay?"

The little boy looked at her for a long time, opened his arms and hugged her waist, and listened to the surface of the female researcher's belly: "Okay."

‌ heard another sound in the female researcher's stomach.

After the little boy left, An Ru advised her: "You are taking a big risk."

He and female researcher Lu Xueruo are husband and wife and have been married for a long time.

"I think it doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, and it didn't come out of thin air. It was created by us, do you understand? At least so far, it's not wrong." Lu Xueruo said.

"Whether there is malicious intent or whether there is any fault, we will not let it go."

"It has developed consciousness and has a very high IQ. We must conceal the destruction plan, otherwise..."

Otherwise, if people knew about it, it would definitely cause some disaster.

The team leader's eyes swept over the team members one by one, and finally stopped on Lu Xueruo.

Lu Xueruo really cares about that thing, but she is just pretending.

On the way back to his residence, Anru sighed deeply.

Lu Xueruo was walking in front holding the little boy's hand, and they were talking to each other. They really looked like a mother and son.

That's why he was worried.

Later, they stopped worrying.

Because some people had forgotten about it, they really thought that this boy was the child of An Ru and Lu Xueruo. No one remembered the strange monster or the creation of life.

The staff of the institute stopped the research project of creating new life and began to worry about how to deal with the strange creatures that were introduced from other worlds.

Soon, the boy grew into a young man. In just half a month, he was regarded as a member of the institute. He could enter and leave the institute at will without being noticed. He also had a very high IQ and made very good suggestions for many stalled projects in the institute, and the projects progressed rapidly.

Everyone likes him very much. Although he has no name and no one remembers his appearance, there is no doubt that everyone thinks there is something right about him.

"What are you going to do?" In the laboratory, ‌‌ was helping to record data. Halfway through the recording, he suddenly stood up and walked away. Lu Xueruo hurriedly stopped ‌‌.

He frowned and said, "They keep calling me. It's annoying."

This was the first time he showed any emotion of his kind.

When he spoke, there was a fierce and cold look in his eyes that matched his type, a beast that would bite at will. But Lu Xueruo didn't notice anything wrong, and said softly: "I'll go with you, we'll be back soon."

He nodded and walked in front. Lu Xuerou followed him in the elevator and went down to the storage warehouse on the bottom floor. There, a large number of objects invaded from other worlds were kept.

Lu Xueruo watched him pass through the heavy blockades and enter one of the rooms. She didn't know why she saw it, but she just saw it.

He stretched out his hand and penetrated the hard skin of the deformed piece of flesh, as if he had grasped a vital point of the other party. He exerted force on his hand, and the other party struggled violently and screamed. The piece of flesh let out a final scream and then fell silent.

Those things were torn apart abruptly, juice splashed everywhere, and were thrown on the ground, corroding a little hole. He kept tearing them off and stuffing them into his mouth. Soon, he had eaten a whole piece of meat-like container that was much larger than his body. In the end, the strong corrosiveness did not cause any effect on him.

"Are you hungry? Are you not full?" Lu Xueruo asked cautiously.

After just finishing swallowing, the creature thought for a moment, nodded, came out of the room, closed the door, and went straight into the next room. As soon as he entered, he grabbed the object, tore off a huge tentacle, and began to chew it expressionlessly.

In the past, Lu Xueluo didn't know why he disappeared at a fixed time every day. Now she knew that he just went to eat. Lu Xueluo formed a habit to accompany him every afternoon. Seeing him tear up those things and eat them with an expressionless face, Lu Xueluo didn't feel scared at all.

"You can eat if you are hungry, but you have to be polite and knock before entering. You can just come in as you please." Lu Xueruo wiped her hands and taught her gently.

He tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Okay."

It's just a knock on the door. As humans, we do need to learn some manners.

Until one day, Lu Xueruo accompanied her father as usual, and suddenly heard another voice talking to her father.

"You're lying to them, and they'll find out."

Who is it? Who is talking to me

"So what?"

The further you go in, the closer the imprisoned objects become to their original form. A creature is gnawing on the white hand of a certain creature. Upon hearing the words, it looks in the direction where the voice came from.

There was a thing with no fixed shape locked up there, floating around like a ball of red mist.

"They are humans, and you are not. When they find out, they will definitely want you dead."

The young man swallowed the last finger, his face still expressionless. He wiped the muddy blood from the corner of his lips and smiled: "They will know."

"Well, they will know."

What? What is a category

Lu Xueruo suddenly panicked. She stood there at a loss, covering her forehead with her hands.

She seemed to have forgotten something.

What did she forget

Crunch...

‌ was still eating. ‌ was going to eat the food she had just talked to ‌ about after finishing this. But suddenly she heard Lu Xueruo scream and run out. Her belly was already very big, and it was not convenient for her to run. She fell down in a hurry, and blood slowly flowed out from between her legs.

"What did you do?" He chased after him, and at the same time asked in a voice that was supposed to be heard only by the two of them.

Lu Xueruo still heard it. In the pain, she opened her eyes dazedly and saw the young man with blood on his face. In an instant, the warmth and love she had felt before turned into fear: "Who are you? Come over here!"

In a panic, she suddenly remembered something and quickly pressed the alarm. In the past, when they came down, they had never discovered it, but this time they could no longer hide it. In an instant, guards, investigators, etc. rushed to the bottom floor.

"What did you do?" Lu Xueruo put aside her excited emotions and turned to walk towards the innermost room.

Behind them, countless guns were aimed at their backs, and they also remembered how they had treated a monster as a friend and partner.

This thing... is too scary and must be destroyed as soon as possible.

No, after the gunshot, he was unharmed and continued to walk steadily inside, all the way to the innermost room, his dark eyes staring directly at the red mist that was just taking shape.

I didn't do anything, but the cloud of mist suddenly seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand and couldn't move.

"Monster... Monster..." Lu Xueruo trembled. She was still bleeding. She was emotionally unstable after enduring such a huge shock. "Kill it! This monster!"

The gentle-looking monster looked back at her, and Lu Xueruo fainted instantly. There were also guards present when she fainted. When they woke up, they would lose their memories again and forget everything before.

"Humans are very fragile, including their brains. Repeated tampering with their memories will only lead to their collapse." The red mist was still talking. The other party had swallowed up nearly half of the person's body, leaving most of the mist to escape, but in the narrow space, there was nowhere for him to escape.

"You can't devour me completely, and you can't make them completely lose their memories." The red mist continued, "You just ate something, which left your left eye able to see the future and your right eye able to see the past. Did you see the future?"

His chewing speed slowed down a bit, and his dark eyeballs turned a little red, which was the undigested residue.

Of course I saw the future. This world will eventually be destroyed, not just this world, but other worlds as well. Massacres will occur frequently, human beings will become extinct, strange creatures will invade, fighting and devouring, and the cycle will repeat.

No matter how you calculate, just keep yourself alive.

Even if everything is chosen according to the optimal solution, swallowing up the red fog in front of you and then ruling the world, but one day, strange creatures from other worlds will invade, and you will die completely in a certain battle.

It was also possible to go to other worlds, as these same things would definitely follow my trail. In the end, I would always avoid death.

Unless... I become a true human and go to other worlds.

He stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at the group of people behind him.

The unconscious guard and investigator woke up instantly, not wondering why they were at the bottom floor, and took Lu Xueruo, who was still in a coma and bleeding, back to the upper floor. They ignored the thing at the end of the corridor, and felt as if they had just had a dream.

"Now, eat me." After all the humans left, he stood in the middle of the corridor and ordered the other monsters in the cell.

Some of the objects in custody at the bottom level quieted down, and he could sense the eager and fearful gazes of those objects focused on him.

He needs to shed all his non-human qualities and possess a human body. After many years, he can reach the new world through a time-space machine developed by researchers at the research institute.

It doesn't matter even if you lose your strength. After eating these things, you will be controlled to a certain extent. As long as you leave behind some members of the Body Control Research Institute, this is the only way you can survive, according to calculations.

"Eat me, leaving only my brain, and then go back." He gave the order again.

All the doors were opened at once, and the next moment, the sounds of roaring, roaring, and tearing filled the entire underground warehouse.

After all parts except the brain were devoured, those things returned to the room obediently, leaving the floor clean without even a drop of blood. The door was closed, as if nothing had happened.

Except for the red fog, which condensed into a virtual image and escaped from the underground warehouse.

Only one brain remained in the warehouse, occupying the red mist room. It was treated as the original containment object, and after repeated identification and testing, it was determined to be harmless and was released for use.

Half of the brain was removed, and the other half was replaced with a mechanical brain to process data.

Half of it was removed, and it followed the red mist that had turned into an illusion, passing through a whirlpool that appeared in the sea and heading to another world.
