Chapter 225: Mutation
One afternoon later, Xiaozhen came to the dessert counter and bought a box of puffs.
Of course, he didn't find out any information about the mysterious murderer. One afternoon, he just stopped a young man who was determined to die, and released some soothing information to make two young lovers who shouted "I'm going to jump into the river, jump, do you think I don't dare? If you dare to jump, I will inherit your Alipay" reconcile. While shopping, he ate a box of ice cream, a box of takoyaki, a cup of bubble milk tea, a skewer of grilled squid and a skewer of tenderloin, bought two donuts, and finally bought a box of puffs under the silent glare of Mr. Cat.
"Do you think you're shopping?"
"Hmm? Isn't it?" Xiao Zhen said after taking a bite of the puff. He saw Mr. Cat staring at him, "Do you want to eat it?"
"I don't eat things that are too sweet." Mr. Cat replied, but Xiaozhen had already brought the puff to him. He sniffed it and thought, "Hmm, it smells really good. Should I try it?" So he licked it carefully. Hmm, it was crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside. It had a different flavor than ice cream...
So, Xiaozhen and Mr. Cat sat down and happily finished a box of puffs together. After finishing, they still felt unsatisfied. Xiaozhen walked back to the counter and bought another box. They both happily finished the puffs again. After finishing, they still felt unsatisfied. When Xiaozhen stood up and prepared to buy another box, Mr. Cat received new information from the Eye of Supervision.
"We have information on this criminal."
"Hmm?" At this time, Xiao Zhen's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw a message on the phone: "I'll come to your house in a while. Cui Mingzhi"
Xiao Zhen cut off the phone screen and looked up at Mr. Cat, "What?"
"The murderer is a local human."
When Chu Hongyi was in the second grade of elementary school, his mother began to fall ill.
From then on, the house was filled with the heavy smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and my mother kept coughing while lying on the bed. At first, she would still force herself to tell Chu Hongyi a story, but soon she didn't even have the energy to tell a story.
There was a time when his mother lived in a hospital in the city center, and every weekend his father would take him to visit his mother by bicycle. It was very hot at that time, and he still remembers the smell of sweat from his father's wet vest, which filled his nose with the summer heat.
Dad, will Mom’s illness get better?
It will be fine. It will be fine.
His father kept nodding in front.
They went to their mother's ward together. The mother turned her head and looked at them from the bed. The white sheets made a rustling sound, like falling snow in winter. Her gentle face was smiling at seeing her husband and son, but her previous spirit was gone. Every time he saw his mother, Chu Hongyi could feel that his mother was getting weaker. He was very scared. Every time he went back to the hospital, he hoped that his mother could get out of bed and go home with them immediately, but the reality always disappointed him.
After leaving the hospital, his father would buy him an ice lolly, and the father and son would ride home in silence.
After coming out of the hospital one day, he suddenly had a thought: Mom might never recover. They could never go back to the way they were before.
Later, just as he had expected, the doctor tactfully advised my father that he didn't have much time left for his beloved, so he should go home and spend the last moments with his family. So my mother was finally discharged from the hospital.
From then on, the house was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine, disinfectant and acid urine. Lying on the bed, the head of the mother looked big, with high cheekbones and thin arms. The gentle woman in his memory was transforming into a skinny foreign body that he didn't recognize. Chu Hongyi was scared and angry. He felt that his mother was abandoning him and his father in this unreasonable cheating way, leaving this family ruthlessly and indifferently.
At this time, his father was looking for medical treatment everywhere. Modern medicine could not save his beloved wife, so he turned to traditional Chinese medicine and folk remedies. The miraculous cases of people who recovered without going to the hospital were always circulating in the patient group. Chu Hongyi remembered that there was a time when the Chinese medicine pots in his family were full of dried unknown insects. His father burned them for half a day and boiled a thick black medicine for his mother to drink. He also often brought home bags of powders of unknown raw materials as medicine guides, and these secret recipes were either from famous doctors who treated leaders in the capital, or special secret medicines passed down from ancient Chinese medicine practitioners.
Despite all of Dad's attempts, Mom was still visibly thinner. Her life force was drying up. Her voice was getting softer and softer, and she was sleeping longer and longer. The family was becoming increasingly poor, and Chu Hongyi knew it because Dad didn't even buy snacks.
Chu Hongyi kept a small squirrel at that time. For the young boy, this little squirrel was his only friend. Every time he opened the small cage, the little squirrel would jump onto his hand. Its body was soft and small. No matter how Chu Hongyi touched it, it would not bite him. It would only hold his fingers with its small claws and play with them.
One day, when he was knocking on the cage to entertain the little squirrel, his father came home.
This time, my father brought back a local herbal medicine as usual. It was another local herbal medicine that he didn't know where he got it from. He opened the plastic bag and took out a pot of strange plants from it. Chu Hongyi didn't know what kind of plant it was. It had strange, curly, narrow leaves, and a closed flower bud at the top of the stem. Chu Hongyi tried to touch it, and felt that its long leaves were slimy, like meat.
"Maybe the medicinal herbs this time will be effective!" Dad said hopefully.
His father had said the same thing countless times, and Chu Hongyi nodded like every time. He looked at the plant again. For some reason, this strange plant made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
That night, he got up to go to the toilet. In the middle of the night, the rain was pattering. Chu Hongyi remembered that his squirrel cage was still on the balcony, and the balcony window was not closed and might get wet. He went to the balcony and turned on the light.
At that moment, a horrifying scene jumped into his eyes.
His little squirrel was being strangled by the deformed leaves of the plant, and the squirrel uttered a short whine. The flower bud at the top opened its petals full of sharp teeth like a bloody mouth and swallowed the squirrel whole.
Chu Hongyi began to scream.
When my father came over rubbing his eyes, he was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly. He just pointed at the plant in panic and screamed incoherently.
"What are you doing so late at night? Don't disturb your mother."
He pointed at the plant tremblingly. The leaves were holding the bloody flesh of the little squirrel. But in an instant, the leaves rolled up the flesh and devoured it without a trace. Dad turned his head and looked at the plant, "Huh? What's wrong?"
"It ate my squirrel!!" Chu Hongyi shouted.
But no matter how Chu Hongyi explained, his father was convinced that he was awakened by a nightmare and was talking nonsense. So he was forced to go to bed. That night, Chu Hongyi trembled and spent the night in fear.
The next day, the plant looked exceptionally green. Dad pulled it up by the roots, cleaned it, chopped it up, mixed it with flour, steamed it, and gave it to Mom.
Chu Hongyi watched all this in panic. His little squirrel was gone. The cage door on the balcony was wide open. This was not a dream at all. It was a monster plant that would eat living things. But his father thought that he didn't close the cage door properly, causing the squirrel to run away, and he was lying and shirking responsibility by pointing to a medicinal herb. No matter what he said, his father just treated it as a child's nonsense.
Mom finally ate it.
The next night, his mother, who had been too sick to get out of bed, suddenly got up. Her mouth trembled a few times, as if she wanted to say something to him, but soon it pursed into an unnatural shape. Her eyes were wide open, and her face was a strange red.
She looked more energetic than ever.
"Mom..." Chu Hongyi looked at her in surprise and turned to call for his father.
Dad appeared at the bedroom door and said in a dreamy and surprised tone, "You, do you feel better now?"
Mom turned her head toward Dad, with a glimmer of emptiness in her eyes. Then she walked toward Dad and put her arms around him.
This was the first time that Mom got out of bed and responded to Dad after being seriously ill for many days.
"That's great, that's great..." Dad choked, and he hugged her waist tightly. They hugged each other, with their heads leaning against each other.
Chu Hongyi smelled a dull smell, like the smell of rotting plants in the swamp, with a stench like dead fish. Before he could speak, dozens of twisted long leaves suddenly burst out from his mother's body, and the deformed and weird branches instantly strangled his parents. Then the world became dim and blurry. He only remembered the bright red meat, the sound of the leaves and vines crushing the bones, and the dripping blood.
He lost consciousness while screaming.
…
Later, Chu Hongyi was adopted by his aunt. It was determined that his parents were both killed in a home robbery.
His words were taken as the babbling of a frightened child.
"This child has been so traumatized, so pitiful." He heard his relatives say this more than once. He soon realized that if he continued to insist, he would be diagnosed with mental problems and sent to a mental hospital.
We can't let that happen.
Chu Hongyi said to himself that his survival must have some special meaning.
From then on, he never mentioned any strange murderous plants again, and he studied and grew up like a normal child.
So he grew up like an ordinary person and entered the society to work like an ordinary person.
However, the crazy scene of that night kept laughing in his memory and became more and more vivid. The memory became heavier and heavier, and after years and months, he finally realized the truth one day.
That is, the plant that killed his parents was not from this planet, but a monster from another world.
After realizing this fact, he began to change.
Chu Hongyi, who did not die in that situation, must have shouldered some kind of mission.
His physique also proves this.
He found that his body became extremely light and his strength increased suddenly. With just one punch, he could easily break a wall. He became like a superhero in a comic book. Yes, this must mean that he was carrying out some kind of mission.
Then he encountered another monster from another world.
It was one night when he got off work very late because of overtime. On the street at night, he saw a man.
It was a man with a strange fish head. All passers-by ignored him and passed him by expressionlessly. Chu Hongyi took out his mobile phone and secretly took a photo of him. The photo showed an ordinary human being. At that time, Chu Hongyi realized that he could see the man's disguised appearance and the alien appearance inside at the same time. So he secretly followed the fish-headed monster. When he followed to an empty street, he rushed up.
He hit the other person's head hard.
The monster's head was smashed to pieces in one blow.
He threw the monster into the river.
After completing this series of things, Chu Hongyi felt a strange sense of relief. It was so simple. Now I have indeed awakened some extraordinary power.
He killed an alien, a monster that shouldn't exist on this planet. He clenched his fists, feeling the exhilaration. The scene of his parents' tragic death reappeared in his mind, but now he only felt an irrepressible sense of pleasure.
marvelous.
It feels so great.
He really had a mission. His narrow escape from death in childhood and his powerful awakening abilities proved this.
There are many more hidden alien monsters in this world, and in order to prevent what happened to his parents from happening again, he must kill them all.
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill.
From then on, Chu Hongyi found his mission.
He felt extremely happy.
He began to explore the anomalies hidden in the city. Most of the time, they were just some false urban rumors, but occasionally he would encounter real inhuman creatures, and sometimes even ordinary humans who maintained close relations with those alien monsters. They actually provided services to these alien monsters.
This made him furious.
This is a betrayal of humanity.
Unforgivable.
So every time he encountered such a situation, he would mercilessly kill those humans who shamelessly flattered the monsters. They were both men and women, and he liked to kill the young children the most because it reminded him of his ignorant self in the past. Every time he twisted their delicate necks and heard their miserable cries, he always felt a thrilling pleasure.
Every time he carried out a mission, he would spend a few days in peace, but after a few days, he would become restless as if addicted, and continue to hunt new monsters and their human accomplices.
After searching one city thoroughly, he would move on to the next one. Unconsciously, he had accumulated a lot of experience in detecting monsters from other worlds and their human allies, and his search became more and more accurate.
He chose taxi driver as his profession because it was the most convenient job to move and get information. In the gossip of the guests, he was like a hound sniffing out suspicious smells.
And now, he has chosen his target.
Chu Hongyi glanced behind him and saw an unconscious boy lying on the back seat of the car. This was his new prey, the "Xiao Ming" mentioned by the guest just now.
The same parents are missing but they keep silent about it. It's really a bit similar.
There is no doubt that he must have some connection with the monsters from another world, which is why he needs to be eliminated.
The boy had his eyes closed, his eyelids covering his eyeballs.
He imagined the wonderful moment when he would strangle the boy's neck and see him struggling and trembling and screaming.
But not here.
Chu Hongyi stepped on the accelerator and sped forward.
He didn't see that a vending machine was following him from a distance.
…
…
Policeman Zhao Anliang was on duty when a phone call came in and he picked up the phone.
"Xiao Zhao, some residents reported that there was a vending machine running on the street."
Zhao Anliang felt that there was something wrong with his ears.
