Monsters

"I recognize you, you and I are of the same kind."

Yue Zhenghui's words made Tom very frightened. The other party indeed discovered his identity, and of course, more importantly, he received confirmation from Yue Zhenghui that he had indeed mutated.

"Don't be nervous, people outside won't be able to hear it."

"I'm not of the same kind as you..." Tom was a bit impatient, although he already knew the result in his heart.

Yue Zhenghui grinned and said, "This is another ability of mine that allows me to see things inside the human body. Here..." He pointed to his stomach, "You also have treasures inside, just like mine, but with one more thing than mine. I don't know what it is, but maybe... that's why you're different from me. I guess you don't want to eat human flesh as much as I do, and you haven't even noticed that you've mutated, have you?"

Tom quickly nodded.

"I don't want to..." Yue Zhenghui's face was full of guilt, and he lowered his head for a while before excitedly saying, "But I can't help it. I really can't help it... human flesh is delicious... no... not delicious... too disgusting... but not eating it always leaves my heart empty, and my body empty... the moment I entered the mouth... my whole body felt comfortable... I got unprecedented satisfaction... maybe it's the feeling of those bugs eating us."

Tom remembered that the beaver cat in the supermarket had also appeared in this cannibalistic struggle, but in the end, it couldn't resist the temptation and lost its sanity, taking its owner, Xiao Bao, in one bite. So he can understand the pain that Yue Zhenghui said.

At this moment, there was a ripple in the surrounding space. He understood that time was running out, and Yue Zhenghui also understood. So Yue Zhenghui drifted down to him and said, "I can't hold on anymore. I need to speed up time. My younger brother was killed by Song Ren, but I don't have the courage to seek revenge from him... But fortunately, I heard Officer Zhang say that you pulled Song Ren off the horse. Thank you for avenging my younger brother."

Tom felt a bit embarrassed, "I was also trying to protect myself, and finding evidence of Song Ren was thanks to the General Manager and Officer Zhang. I..."

"No, if it weren't for you stirring up the situation, this towering female manager wouldn't care about the survival of us little people. Ultimately, I would still be grateful to you... Let me give you a final gift, please feel it well." As Yue Zhenghui's figure collided with Tom's body, he quickly felt a flash in his eyes.

Opening his eyes again, he saw himself sitting in a room. He stood up and looked around, recognizing that this was the large room on the second floor where they found Yue Zhenghui eating people that day. He immediately understood that he might have entered Yue Zhenghui's memory.

Besides Yue Zhenghui, there was another person in the room, but Tom couldn't see the other person's face clearly. All he saw was a level 1 yellow crystal held in the other person's outstretched palm.

"Absorb it, follow the method I taught you," the other person said.

Yue Zhenghui, at this moment, Tom immediately rushed to the other party, grabbed the yellow crystal, and then tightly grasped both hands together, while closing his eyes.

Hearing the other person say in your ear, "Feel it like you feel a powerful crystal, forget about things you can't use it. Feel the crystal nucleus in your navel, use your mind to control it, and let it absorb the energy storage crystal in your hand."

Tom felt that Yue Zhenghui was sensing the crystal nucleus in his abdomen, and there was no harvest for a while. With the mysterious person's further guidance, Yue Zhenghui finally vaguely felt something strange near his belly button. Then he began to try to control it with his mind, which took a little more time. Then Tom could feel the hunger and thirst of the crystal nucleus in his abdomen, a feeling of wanting to devour the world spreading from the nucleus to his whole body. He then collided everywhere but found nothing, and finally gathered in his palm, pouncing on the yellow crystal he was holding.

A warm touch came from the palm of the hand, quickly reaching the crystal nucleus and being greedily absorbed by it.

The pleasure of absorption is like a hungry person eating a delicious meal, taking one bite after another, and the warm flow in the palm suddenly stops, while the crystal core is also full of satisfaction.

Yue Zhenghui opened his eyes and saw that the yellow crystal in his palm had turned into a blank crystal. It was obvious that he had absorbed all the energy from the entire yellow crystal into the crystal nucleus.

"This is just a yellow crystal with only one-fifth of its energy left. Your crystal nucleus has limited capacity and just needs to be satisfied," the mysterious person said. "Surviving the crystal phagy period indicates that your body has successfully absorbed powerful crystals and condensed them in your body. From now on, you will become a true awakener. Regularly filling the crystal nucleus with energy can ensure that your abilities are always available. However, remember to control your emotions and avoid experiencing great joy and sorrow, otherwise crystal phagy will make a comeback."

Yue Zhenghui asked in confusion, "How can we resist Crystal Phage?"

"That will have to wait for one more thing in your body to resist. Now, you should seek your own blessings."

Subsequently, this memory shattered. In the next moment, Tom felt as Yue Zhenghui walked on the road and heard passersby say that Song Ren from the security department had been arrested. The senior management of Haiwei Mini Industry had captured all of Song Ren's followers, and Yue Zhenghui was both happy and disappointed.

I am happy because Song Ren, who killed his younger brother, has finally been avenged by the wicked. I am disappointed because I have lost my revenge goal.

He roared and rushed out at an extremely fast speed, quickly disappearing in front of passersby. After that, the hunger emanating from the bones began to emerge, and no matter how much food was eaten, it could not be filled. He tried all kinds of food, but still couldn't be satisfied. In the end, he felt like finding a chicken girl to take home and have a big fight.

Perhaps a thrilling battle can unleash this satisfaction.

But during his battle with the chicken girl, he suddenly couldn't control himself and took a bite. The hunger quickly gave him a hint of comfort, and he was so overwhelmed by hunger that he disregarded the bite together. It wasn't until he was finally satisfied that he realized that in front of him was a corpse with a skeleton all over its upper body.

He was startled and found himself eating people, while also feeling very scared.

Tom was feeling the nausea of cannibalism, with a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he was pulled back to reality.

I heard a loud alarm in my ear, and what I saw in front of me was Yue Zhenghui's twisted face, swinging his fists towards him.

Tom immediately turned over and dodged, his strong fists making a dull sound on the glass wall. He dodged Yue Zhenghui's attacks consecutively, found an opportunity to collide with him from behind, and knocked him to the ground and firmly pressed him down.

Yue Zhenghui's abilities were not fully utilized, and Tom estimated that there was very little energy left in his crystal nucleus. At this moment, the door to the glass room opened, and two guards carrying electric shock guns cautiously walked in.

A faint voice came from Tom's mind: "Let them study me... it's okay to cut it into pieces... let them find a way to deal with monsters like me... and then avenge me... and all the people who died!"

"Get out of here!" a guard shouted loudly.

Tom quickly got up and came to distance himself.

The guard held a long gun with a thick arm, connected to an electric wire at the end, and suddenly charged up and stabbed Yue Zhenghui, who was struggling to get up, before running out together.

The person outside pressed the switch, and the set current just paralyzed Yue Zhenghui.

They are very skilled in doing this kind of thing, and they probably have used it on the irrational Yue Zhenghui in the past few days.

"What should we do?" the leader of the research group asked.

Tom wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "He's already dead... what's left is a walking corpse. Before he died, he said, 'You can dispose of that body. You... take care of it.'" As he walked out, Zhang Guxing wanted to ask about his situation, but he waved his hand and said wearily, 'I'll take a break first.' "

There is a lounge on the fourth floor. Tom went in and locked the door, then threw himself onto the bed and fell asleep with a cloth covering his head.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was quickly knocked on, but Tom remained unresponsive until it was opened from outside and a few figures rushed in. It was then that Tom woke up from his slumber.

"Tom, why don't you sleep here?" Bai Sifei looked angry as he followed Zhang Guxing and three guards, armed guards.

Tom sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes, asking, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with you? You killed my little mouse, but you're hiding here pretending to be innocent!" Bai Sifei's suppressed anger erupted in an instant, and he shouted loudly, "What did you do to my little mouse?"

"What's it to me?" Tom doesn't like this little white face, even though he looks gentle and handsome.

"He's dead, what did you do?"

Tom finally regained his senses. He had a close encounter with Yue Zhenghui before and experienced the process of using the crystal nucleus in his stomach to absorb the energy from the energy storage crystal. Then Yue Zhenghui lost his sanity, and it was probably his last comeback.

"What did I do? Are you interrogating the prisoner?" Tom glared at a guard next to him who had his hand pressed on the gun handle. "Or did you want to treat me as the second little mouse?"

I am a mutant, and I am of the same kind as Yue Zhenghui, so they want to treat me like a little white mouse.

Tom suddenly had this idea in his heart, which made him a little angry.

"Director Bai, this room is a bit crowded. Let the others go out first. If there's anything we can discuss, let's talk about it," said Zhang Guxing to make up for the situation

Bai Sifei hesitated for a moment, but remained silent. Now, all three guards clenched their guns.

Tom looked at them with indifferent eyes. The first time he looked at his own kind with a gaze at prey, he was planning which guard's head he would first blow out once he took action.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and Zhang Guxing felt a headache.

"Director Bai, the person was caught by Tom. If he wanted Yue Zhenghui to die, he would have died long ago... You haven't been to the scene, but Yue Zhenghui ate two living people alive."

Bai Sifei snorted coldly, "Hmph, he needs to have the ability to kill Yue Zhenghui."

Tom smiled faintly and said, "Do you want to see it?"

Tom's calm and composed demeanor startled Bai Sifei. He instinctively took a few steps back and returned to the side of the three guards, but then he realized that he was timid and felt ashamed. He then held up the dignity of the R&D department head and said, "Against monsters, humans will always win!"

Tom was already struggling with his own mutation, and when he said that, he suddenly became furious. He punched the wall, creating a big hole, and roared, "Are you saying I'm a monster? Come on!"
