"Click."
As Zhou Ruoxu took down a book on the bookshelf against the wall and pressed a red button hidden behind the book, a crisp sound rang out from the floor.
The tile, which Lin Xianfu had seen as odd, loosened in response and slowly opened up towards the left and right, forming a hole that could be used for one person to enter and exit.
There was the entrance to the basement. Lin Xianfu smelled many smells from it that were very close to Zhou Ruoxu's body, and these smells were not as strong as his, but in terms of quantity there were dozens .... of them.
In addition to that unique stench, Lin Xianfu also smelled the subtle flavor of blood. The nose that had undergone metamorphosis was currently able to smell the difference between blood type, the concentration of cells in the blood, and how long it had been exposed to the air, among many other things.
--as well as, at the most basic level, the quantity of the blood source.
And in this basement, which could only hold four or five people, there were a whopping thirty-five types of blood originating from different people.
When he smelled these bloods, Lin Xianfu's eyes began to redden slightly, and it was as if that long-suppressed animalistic nature was about to begin to impinge on reason once again, but fortunately, this short-lived impulse wasn't enough to make Lin Xianfu lose his temper.
Because that blood had already dried up, the substances contained in it had already lost their vigor and were not very attractive to him.
Just by smelling that blood, Lin Xianfu had already made some sort of decision.
This basement came in from the entrance with a winding downward staircase, and following this staircase down, the two of them came to an open space.
The basement was fitted with light bulbs emitting a soft yellow light overhead, and there were several scattered empty cages around the open space.
-No traces of blood were visible. As well as the source of the faint heartbeat. While in this dim environment lit only by light bulbs, Lin Xianfu used his ability of vision recklessly, taking in everything in the surroundings.
--But unfortunately, there was still no abnormality.
In the center of this open space, there was an iron bed placed diagonally. Zhou Ruoxu walked up to this iron bed, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, swept Lin Xianfu a glance with his glowing green eyes, and said indifferently, "Lie on it."
This time, Lin Xianfu did not move, but was thinking about something.
Not seeing the expected situation made Zhou Ruoxu freeze for a moment, and he repeated, "Lin Xianfu, I order you to lie up."
".... What is this for?"
Pressing down the impulse to riot, Lin Xianfu snapped with a dumbfounded look, "Doctor, didn't you say you were going to help me? Where is this place? Why did you come to this place?"
Ah. The effect waned. He came to his senses?
Zhou Ruoxu pondered, it seemed that his robust body could quickly decay the hypnotic effect.
"It's just an ordinary body test."
Zhou Ruoxu had a kind smile on his face, his eyes gazing at Lin Xianfu's "godless" pupils as he applied another hypnotic effect, "If you insist that you're not mentally ill, I think it's better if I check your body again in my own way."
There was a strange point in the process of applying it this time, Lin Xianfu's pupils seemed to have contracted for a moment during the moment of confrontation, and then returned to normal when he didn't react.
Perhaps it was an illusion. The hypnosis effect was successful, and Lin Xianfu obediently laid down on the iron bed.
Then, he took out a small syringe from the coat pocket of his wide white coat. During this process, the wide white coat slightly revealed a hint of what was under the clothing as he moved.
In this one instant, Lin Xianfu's pupils keenly captured a certain detail that was something under Zhou Ruoxu's white coat.
"What is this thing? It looks like .... A snake?"
The thing seen in the half-closed pupils was a black, bowl-thick, snake-like slender thing that wrapped around Zhou Ruoxu's abdomen one after the other, for four full loops.
--No wonder he always wore a white coat and it was so big. This external feature that was different from the norm also allowed Lin Xianfu to confirm the conjecture in his heart.
This guy really wasn't an ordinary human, perhaps an existence similar to that night's werewolf, but different from each other, Lin Xianfu could feel that this guy's mental state alone was much more stable than that werewolf.
At this moment, while he was in a daze, Zhou Ruoxu picked up a needle and was about to stab Lin Xianfu's arm, who was lying on the hospital bed in a "coma"!
Zhou Ruoxu wearing a white coat in front of the bed is no longer a human form, but has become a large top a gray and black rat head of the monster, the bridge of the nose on the glasses has been removed, a variety of pungent stench from its body, the white coat by the unidentified object to hold up, and then from the bottom of the gown to pull out the arm of a long black tail swinging behind it!
"Finally no need for disguise, Lin Xianfu, you should feel grateful to be my thirty-sixth experimental subject!"
A hideous, hoarse voice that didn't seem like something a human throat could produce came out in front of Lin Xianfu.
It stretched out its other arm, which was covered in thick hair, towards Lin Xianfu's head, and said in a strange voice, "Next, let's hope that you can hold on well and not die easily!"
"I'm the thirty-sixth? Then can you tell me what happened to the previous thirty-five?"
The calm voice that resounded from the bed broke the rat-headed monster's self-talk.
At some point, Lin Xianfu had opened his eyes, and his eyes were sharp, sweeping away the dullness from before.
The needle was stopped a few centimeters away from his arm, and in front of it, two fingers held it between them, stopping its progress.
Lin Xianfu was confident in his current physical fitness, but it was better to have less contact with this kind of thing of unknown origin. Thus, he decisively made a move to stop its movement!
"You're fine? How come?!"
The thing that was once named Zhou Ruoxu and was now out of its disguise and had become a rat-shaped monster spoke in dismay.
The silent Lin Xianfu didn't pay any attention to its reaction, with a movement of his hand, the pillow was thrown away, he got up from the bed, stood up straight, clenched his fists hard, the veins under his clothes suddenly bursting out, and for the first time, he used the full power of this body to strike the monster's face!
"Whew!"
The full force fist that struck with a speed so fast that it seemed to cut through the air ruthlessly smashed into the monster's cheek! The moment of contact, Lin Xianfu clearly heard the crisp sound of bone cracking!
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the struck monster didn't even have time to grunt, and flew backwards out of Lin Xianfu's eyes, smashing into the gray wall, the surface of the wall was smashed by the impact of a spiderweb crack, followed by the monster's back against the wall sliding down to the ground, the huge spiderweb cracks clattered down to fall debris, raising a large area of dust ....
From that hole in the wall, Lin Xianfu unleashed his ability of vision, and in a burst of pupil constriction, saw the secret secret on the opposite side of the wall.
Only behind the wall was a dirty ground that was different from the outside. The ground was strewn with green liquid, as well as piece after piece of blood that had dried into the background.
Among those pools of blood that had dried up, there was a long-haired girl wearing blood-stained white clothes lying on the ground, and from her body, Lin Xianfu heard the faint sound of a heartbeat.
"It seems that there's no need to ask."
Lin Xianfu shook off his swinging arm and looked away from the monstrous figure in the white coat, a burst of anger gradually flooding his icy eyes, as well as ..... a feeling of exuberance that he was reluctant to admit, but did exist.
--Dr. Zhou, it's great that you're a monster.
Because of that, I can unleash my full power and inflict violence on you without fear. And, there is no need to feel guilty.
Because, this is all a deserved consequence of the crime you committed.
Lim Hsien Fu thought.
