Indescribable cyberpunk

Hiss~

A sickening scream echoed in the rainstorm in the alleyway.

The sound was not high-pitched, but it was extremely clear, just like the neighing of a rattlesnake heard by people walking in the desert.

Is it really that loud?

not necessarily.

Why is it inevitable, even impossible to ignore, to hear something as long as you get close?

Because any living being knows that this is a warning before death comes!

At this time, West was no longer human.

Colorful scales spread all over the body, and the hairless body was stretched as much as possible. The raincoat that could have covered the whole body seemed to have shrunk at this time. The thick arms and five fingers no longer looked like humans, and even more It prefers the state of a lizard. It stands on limbs that have not yet evolved to be inferior to animals. It may be because the changes in skin and flesh during transformation make him a little uncomfortable, so he is always walking back and forth, constantly emitting a harsh and regular sound. The hissing sound.

"I've seen a lot of mental pollution monsters, but I've never seen a guy like you who can mutate and stay sane. How do you stay sane?"

Zhu Jue always thought that he was the only one who could achieve a complete mutation and maintain normal thinking. However, the situation in front of him made him realize that his thoughts were undoubtedly a bit narrow. There are still some people in this world who can do this.

What Zhu Jue responded to was a strange scimitar drawn from the waist of this guy who looked a bit like a lizard man or a snake man, and a scream filled with murderous intent.

"I've changed my body and can't even speak anymore. It's really a headache."

Reluctantly, he revealed the armguard-like device on his right wrist. The evolution potion from the Alliance of Justice was not that fast to make. He received this thing from the Archaeological Association in his capacity as a consultant.

"The potion is injected 50%."

A mechanical beep sounded at the right time, and half of the liquid in the translucent crystal column in the middle of the outer armband disappeared. Zhu Jue only felt a momentary sting on the inside of his wrist, but other than that, he felt nothing else.

This is normal, because what is loaded in his arm guard is not an evolutionary injection, but a jar of glucose. Even if it is injected at 200%, he will not have any reaction. At most, his body will produce a Just a feeling of fullness.

This can be regarded as Zhu Jue's method of hiding his strength. He used it in front of West, naturally to make him think that his power comes from the evolutionary injection.

The battle broke out in an instant. The snake man attacked with a scimitar in one hand, and a strange dark green liquid ball appeared in his free paw. The raindrops dripped, as if falling into hot molten iron, and emitted squeaking sound

There is no doubt that this is the power of magic!

Being able to use both weapons and magic, while obviously being able to maintain his own sanity, this type of monster that is a source of mental pollution was Zhu Jue's first encounter, which forced him to begin to doubt West's true identity.

"The strange guy might be a good choice to take you back to the Archaeological Association for research."

Zhu Juezai, knowing that he probably couldn't ask anything now, simply gave up the idea, moved his neck, turned his wrist, and faced him head-on.

He kicked the scimitar away with one kick, sided to avoid the jet of dark green liquid ball, and hit the bridge of his nose with a punch.

"At the level of 1 original fish, you have found the wrong opponent."

Looking at West, who was already lying on the ground and returning to his human state, Zhu Jue curled his lips in disinterest. A battle of this level was not even a fight for him.

It’s just a unilateral killing!

"I caught a guy suspected of a major crime, a mental pollution mutant. Please help me take care of him. Tomorrow I will take him back to the Archaeological Association for further interrogation."

Zhu Jue clutched West's back collar, and neither went to find Olivia nor returned to the speedboat at the pier. Instead, he went straight to the police station in Hesse Town and said directly in front of the virgin police officer at the front desk. He threw West into the lobby of the police station, and then left in a hurry without caring about the reaction of the people inside, leaving only the words to find Olivia.

Yes, Zhu Jue sent West, the whistleblower who "escaped death", back to the hands of the cult that he had finally escaped from.

If West, who was in a coma, knew about this, he would probably wake up in anger.

Walking silently on the streets of Hesse Town, Zhu Jue, who had just left the police station, planned to find Olivia, but after he walked for a while in the rain, he realized that he had no idea Olivia was there. where.

At this time, he should have contacted Olivia to ask, but for some reason, Zhu Jue never raised his hand and walked away on his own.

There was a misty rain curtain in front of him, and the accumulation of leaden gray clouds made everything around him look a little gloomy. Unknowingly, a thin layer of mist began to appear around the area where Zhu Jue was.

It has long been proven that the environment can change a person's mood.

Just like Zhu Jue at this moment, his mental state also changed.

His spirit was in a trance for a moment, and then he became confused. There were footsteps beside him. Zhu Jue subconsciously turned his head and looked over, and a translucent black figure appeared next to him.

What's this?

Zhu Jue was stunned, and for the first time, he felt a trace of panic in his heart.

This is an emotion you shouldn't have

The translucent black figure was just walking forward, and Zhu Jue was subconsciously driven forward by some idea that came from his mind but could not be understood by himself.

After walking around the corner, Zhu Jue found that his body was beginning to become tired, both mentally and physically.

Walking through the bushes, the wet branches rubbed against Zhu Jue's skin, and traces of blood began to appear on his skin through the raincoat. This surprised Zhu Jue so much that he gasped.

You must know that with his current physique, let alone a branch, even if it passes through an iron thorn, it will only be because the iron thorn is distorted, and he cannot suffer any damage.

What went wrong?

Zhu Jue raised his hand and looked at the wounds blankly. He wanted to think, but he couldn't think. He didn't stop and continued to follow the black shadow.

It wasn't until the black shadow stopped by the swamp lake that Zhu Jue stopped.

He saw that the surface of the lake in the distance of the swamp lake was rippled again, but there was no strange spike that he saw last time. It was just that the black figure started to walk into the lake and did not stop again until half of its body was submerged in the water. The next moment, Zhu Jue saw a sharp dark golden thorn protruding from the lake water and piercing the black shadow's chest.

A crimson substance, unknown to be liquid or mist, was injected into the black shadow's body along the spike, and soon spread all over the body.

The black shadow just stood there without any movement. After a while, he began to make various weird prayer gestures as if he had received some great gift. The red network extended to all parts of his body. I understand what this situation means, but for some reason the concepts of "evolution" and "immortality" appear in my mind.

As long as you accept the gift, you can live forever!

Such an idea suddenly appeared in Zhu Jue's mind, like a seed. No, more like a seed with a super high concentration of auxin, taking root and sprouting in his mind with an unscrupulous attitude. .

"Forward, Eternal Life"

As he muttered these two words, the light in Zhu Jue's eyes suddenly dimmed, and his body began to walk towards the lake uncontrollably.

Another thorn extended from the lake water.

It's waiting.

Wait for the most powerful believer that has ever appeared to fall into its arms!

boom! ! !

The heartbreaking pain rushed into Zhu Jue's mind in an instant. It was not a thorn piercing his flesh, but a hot metal bullet!

Everything is fading away, and the ripples in the swamp lake suddenly boil, but dissipate unwillingly.

"Ha~"

Like a drowning man taking his first breath of air after breaking out of the lake, Zhu Jue opened his mouth wide, not caring about the rain falling into his mouth. He half-knelt on the ground with a pale face, unconsciously looking at the bloody hole on his thigh, and blinked. Double glance.

His eyes turned to the face of Olivia who was holding a gun and looking anxious. He looked down and saw the wind chime pressing his head against his chin.

"What's wrong with you? From now on, you walked this way as if you couldn't hear any sound, and then you even wanted to walk into the lake."

Olivia, who realized that Zhu Jue was back to normal, rushed up to him and asked nervously.

Olivia met Zhu Jue on the way back from the hospital. She called out a few times but got no answer. She thought he was thinking about something, but she leaned closer and called out twice but still got no response. When she realized that Zhu Jue had When the problem was solved, he tried every means to wake him up, but no matter whether it was slapping, pushing or shouting, it had no effect.

In the end, he could only make up his mind to shoot and forcefully awaken Zhu Jue in the most brutal way.

"I said I was stupid because of reading. Do you believe it? Your gun is too powerful."

Frowning, he controlled the scavenger to directly plug up the flesh and blood cavity. At this moment, Zhu Jue finally understood the meaning of what Elder Atal said in the dreamland on the roof of the church.

Knowledge brings power, but it also brings dangerous prying eyes. The Book of Dekian brought a spell to Zhu Jue and at the same time allowed his spirit to begin to contact those indescribable existences in another more direct way.

This has resulted in Zhu Jue being more susceptible to the influence of those monsters recently than before. It would just be another monster that is a source of mental pollution. With Zhu Jue's current strength, it is impossible for ordinary original monsters to affect him, but the swamp There is a special guy in the lake.

If Olivia hadn't been there today, something might have happened.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jue looked at Olivia with a strange look.

"Sorry, I just have this gun with me. I've tried fists and rocks. How about we retreat first? You almost got hit. I don't mind continuing."

Olivia turned off the gun's safety in embarrassment. It was really difficult for her to shoot Zhu Jue.

"No, I have already caught the thread. Leaving at this time will give them a chance to make a comeback."

Relying on the help of the scavenger, Zhu Jue straightened up again and said in a deep voice,

"You dare to intrude on my will!"
